GAMEDAY #8-25: Unleashing the Untouchable - GM Nowruz (Inactive)

Game Master noral

Yanndu casts a spell of invisibility on the air elemental. Duration 12min

Fendahl and Rajah will advance into the fog, at altitude and attack when the see the foe.

Rajah +1 bite, huge, atavism, hope: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 1 = 28
for dmg: 2d6 + 18 ⇒ (5, 2) + 18 = 25 grab

miss: 1d100 ⇒ 30 if needed using scent if that helps.

Fendahl +3 fossilblight, hope, haste: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 17 + 2 + 1 = 39
for dmg: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Fendahl confirm: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 17 + 2 + 1 = 27
for dmg: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

miss: 1d100 ⇒ 78 if needed using blindfighting if that helps.

Caduceus, the elemental is gone already. So you have to move ... I will only take your first attack. :)

<20% miss chance fog: 1d100 ⇒ 12

Caduceus rides forward on his steed and would have hit the undead but the mist is causing him to miss!!

Rajah on the other hand can really hit the undead - additionally, Fendahl's mythic weapon pierces the skeleton's chest.

You did not roll the grap for Rajah vs. CMD 33.

grab Rajah: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (11) + 25 = 36

The grappled, undead gunslinger looks at the armored man but first he has to escape!

cmb : 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32

The undead can escape the grapple.

BOLD is up!

Ah, good. Yanndu had come up and turned the air elemental invisible (easily pierced by his see invisibility, but helpful for unenhanced vision.) Lichaam has the elemental remain near Yanndu for the moment.

With news that the final skeleton has been found, Lichaam opts to conserve the powers of the Opal. Instead, he moves forward, drawing a scroll as he goes. If the telepathic directions were valid...

Use Swift Scroll ability to draw scroll of Gust of Wind during movement.

A gust of wind shreds the fog in a line between Lichaam and the skeleton.

***...well played...Pisell...*** imparts Yanndu on both mind links, with a telepathic smile. Taking position behind Lichaam, he blasts the remaining undead's mind with a psyche-splitting blow.

5 ft. step fly downwards/diagonal to settle 5 ft. above Lichaam Pisell; Standard to undercast Mind Thrust VI to Mind Thrust IV with Will of the Dead phrenic amplification (cost 2 pts. from the phrenic pool: 5/11 remaining)

Mind Thrust IV, Will of the Dead, Will DC 20 for 1/2 dmg: 12d8 ⇒ (3, 6, 6, 5, 5, 7, 2, 5, 6, 7, 7, 6) = 65 plus fatigued for 1 round but undead are immune to that; just putting it out there fyi

will: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

"Arghhhh ... " the undead shouts while fire bursts out of its eye sockets.

Damage -74

Kyron, Caduceus, Fendahl, Rajah are up.

Fendahl and Rajah full attack the Last skeleton

”Is this the last of them? “

Rajah +1 bite, huge, atavism, hope: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 17 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 1 = 30

Haste atk Rajah +1 claw, huge, atavism, hope: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 17 + 2 + 2 + 4 - 1 = 30
for dmg: 2d6 + 18 ⇒ (5, 3) + 18 = 26

if the lion drops it, Fendahl will look for other targets or heal himself

Rajah and Fendahl completely anihilate the last skeleton!!

Combat over!

”Hhrrrm. That was the last. An ambush or just guardians? They seem to be protecting this path. “

He will search the chamber.

perception, hero : 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 21 + 2 = 26

After a few moments Rajah shrinks to normal size.

Lichaam looks around the entryway. "Nobody else on this side of the fog" he replies. "The entrance we used was blocked off, so I'm not sure why they would be guarding this route. We are close, though, so... maybe Ymeri simply had skeletons to spare, and stationed them here?"

Taking a quick moment to wand himself again, Heightened Awareness he then floats into the fog. Stopping halfway over, he makes sure to point out the damaged sections of flooring.

While there, Lichaam searches what thermally-compromised bodies are left.

T10 Perception on bodies: 10 + 17 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 33

Moving forwards (and upwards) to the other side of the fog, Lichaam takes a good look at the chamber. Was the damage all from the Trueflame discharge, or had this area become geologically unstable over the centuries?

T10 Perception on chamber: 10 + 17 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 33
T10 Engineering on the damage: 10 + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 43
T10 Dungeoneering on the damage: 10 + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 43
T10 Planes on the area: 10 + 31 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 47

Yanndu's greater invisibility is about to expire, but the elf casts a regular invisibility on himself before it does, remaining unseen from any casual or remote observers, should they be present and unable to pierce the illusory veil.

Caduceus will wait two rounds to absorb half of Fendahl's damage before healing them both.

Pally Channel: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 6) = 12

”You have my thanks, Master Caduceus “

You heal yourselves and after a while realize that there are two sets of wings of the gargoyle in the cavern.

The pepperbox musket of the undead gunslingers melts away soon after their demise.

~

You continue your path.

HEART OF THE PYRE

Lichaam analyzes the interior of Kandirion’s Pyre and realizes that all these tunnels are networks of passageways that house arcane conduits, planar calibrators, and elemental pipes that together channel and control blasts of trueflame from the surrounding region for use at the forge.

Its ceilings are 40 feet high, its walls are magically treated hewn stone (Climb DC 25), and its stairs rise at a steep angle that is considered difficult terrain. This area uses Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Mythos Dungeon, though areas that depict water are instead filled with
magma.

The statues mostly represent fanciful metal sculptures depicting living creatures composed of fire.

D1. PASSAGE TO THE MAGMA CAVERNS

This hallway leads to an unworked series of passages and lava tubes.

Assume that it took around 10 minutes to get here.

The elemental also benefits from Caduceus' healing... but the rapidly-narrowing passageways soon start causing problems of their own.

"Who can use the wings?" Lichaam asks, looking around for people without a working steed. "They should provide protection against physical blows, but the design prevents them from working in tandem with standard protective cloaks."

He takes the time to examine the conduits on their way, consulting with the other scholars. Determining the direction of energy flow in the system should lead them to the Trueflame-emitting artifact, assuming it survived the destruction of the rest of the pyre. If it didn't... the Pathfinders might need to improvise.

T10 Arcana on the conduits: 10 + 32 + 2 + 2 = 46
T10 Planes on the conduits: 10 + 31 + 2 + 2 = 45

EDIT: Removing Heightened Awareness - this character doesn't have a wand of it, so his earlier casts were (almost) all he gets

Fendahl stops Rajah and indicates that opening chamber ahead of anyone more stealthy or nimble elemental wanted to scout.

with only the 10mins, his and Rajah buffs are still up.

Following the completion of combat, Kyron takes out his notebook and jots down a few more observations along with collecting some samples for later study.

Once the party reach the Pyre itself he uses a pearl of power to recall Heightened Awareness which he recasts on himself before continuing on.

Daathiel flies along with the group. At about 20' high.
Like Lichaam, he is fascinated by the elemental/arcane systems supporting the forge.

He will re-cast Good Hope on the party. Lasts 14 minutes.

You continue to move onwards as the two rooms around you are all empty.

D2. THE SMITHY’S SHORE

You look around and the academics in your group are sure that the gout of trueflame that scoured much of Kandirion’s Pyre above also blasted away one of the walls in this room, leaving a broad shore along a magma lake.

There is nothing else of note in this room except of the heat and the lava.

Please remember that the water on the map is actually lava.

You look up the stairs from your position. The stairs lead up to the heart of the complex.

D8. KANDIRION’S FORGE

A massive, twenty-foot-tall brass statue of a three-headed ibis nearly reaches the ceiling at the back of the chamber. Six curving wings extend from the statue’s back, resembling sculpted flames.

Each of the ibis’s three avian heads stares down with an open mouth at a ten-foot-wide stone basin at the statue’s feet. An Ignan rune on the basin’s rim glows like hot metal.

***That seems to be the forge proper*** Lichaam thinks to the others, looking up the stairs. He then turns to look at the gaping hole behind them. ***Do you think that wall was intended to be an emergency pressure release, or did it just work out that way?***

T10 Perception looking upstairs: 10 + 17 + 2 + 2 = 31

He pauses, realizing something, before turning towards the still-invisible elemental and saying something quietly in Auran.

He also considers the effect that summoned the elemental, and what would happen if the Opal was destroyed before the elemental was dismissed. Would the elemental still retain the power initially granted it, or would that power (and the elemental) be revoked?
T10 Arcana: 10 + 31 + 2 + 2 = 45
T10 Spellcraft: 10 + 26 + 2 + 2 = 40

The elemental looks at Lichaam and nods.

In Auran it nods. “I am old. Very old. Long before the rise of human civilization on Golarion, eight elemental lords reigned over the Elemental Planes, with a benevolent ruler and vile tyrant vying for supremacy on each of these four planes. The sinister Kelizandri, lord of water, forged a temporary alliance with his three evil counterparts, and together they overpowered each of the good-aligned rulers and sealed them within nearly indestructible gemstones. These they hid far from the Elemental Planes to be guarded by the elemental lords’ servants.
The Duke of Thunder Ranginori is one of these imprisoned demigods, and for ages he has wallowed within the Untouchable Opal. You hold the opal now and with that can command me as Ranginori‘s essence is shaping the power to summon me. You seem to be here to free Ranginori. I am loyal to no moral authority. I am the essence of the plane of air. Once I’m free of my bonding to the opal, I will return to my home plane!“

Take 10 perception and knowledge planes reveals more also at this distance for many of you. ;)

You put your heads together and realize that the statue depicts the lost elemental lord of fire Atreia, the Lambant Prince.

The Ignan rune at the basin’s base is one of the language’s several words for “ignition,” carrying the subtext of starting fire to begin a grand endeavor.

You also realize that Kandirion’s forge is deactivated.

”Hrmm. So it seems we have some of the implements to complete our mission. However, a few more tasks await before we can break the opal and release him within.“ he points to the forge and then hefts Fossilblight

Lichaam bows slightly.

After all, how many times had they heard of a wizard losing control of his conjurations, who killed him? Or his mind-controlled servants, or his magical beasts, or undead... or golems. So many golems. Why did people keep building them with such a glaring flaw apparently inherent to the craft? Maybe he should look into it, see if he could fix that flaw. But that was a question for later.

"Shall we search for the problem, then? A safety might have tripped during the catastrophe, which would explain why this place isn't still filling with trueflame."

Daathiel casts Heightened Awareness and attempts to diagnose the problem with the system.

Knowledge (Engineering), Lore Master 1 of 3, Good Hope, Heightened Awareness: 20 + 17 + 2 + 2 = 41 With all of 1 rank in the skill...

If that does not reveal the source of the problem, he will rely on his more applied skills of engineering.
Disable Device, Good Hope: 1d20 + 28 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 28 + 2 = 46

...oh. Checking the forge itself would be a good first step, wouldn't it? If nothing else, then to make sure it wouldn't start spewing trueflame uncontrollably after activation.

Lichaam refreshes his False Life spell and stays back a little until someone more melee-focused follows Daathiel. After that, he helps the aasimar with his examination.

W: False Life: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Auto-aid Engineering, and lend Daathiel a masterwork book of +2

Auto-aid Disable Device UNLESS this counts as a magic trap (which he can't natively handle)

Time permitting, Lichaam also makes a few quick sketches of the forge from several angles.

Daathiel can do magic traps thanks to his archetype, should that be needed. Disable Device is sometimes used for all-purpose device fixing which is why I rolled it.

If Daathiel needs to be close to investigate, then he will cast Mirror Image and activate his Ring of Blinking as he approaches the forge.
Images: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

auto-aid engineering as well... sent via telepathic visions of a million different mechanical devices, furnaces, forges, fireplaces... etc.

Fendahl will advance atop Rajah to provide defense support should this turn hostile.

perception, hope : 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 21 + 2 = 35

Caduceus watches the more skilled Seekers deal with the 'nuts and bolts' of the situation.

You jointly study the ancient forge!

In order to restore its functionality, you must recalibrate some supporting devices that do not seem to be here in this room.

You believe that touching the Ignan rune causes a brief blast of trueflame that could destroy the opal.

In order to begin the process of breaking the Untouchable Opal, you must place the artifact within the basin and trigger a sustained blast of trueflame.

Lichaam tries to get an idea of how many supporting devices they would be looking for.

You believe based on your engineering knowledge that there probably are four supporting devices in this complex.

"Four devices that need recalibrated, it seems."

Putting the finishing touches on his sketch, he stows his journal and rejoins the rest of the group, peering curiously down the halls. "Lead the way."

Kyron takes a look around the groups current location and the entrances to the passages leading off of it for any evidence of recent activity as well as listening for any sounds.

He will also use Detect Magic to see if he can detect any magic auras.

perception + HA + CE + GH: 1d20 + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 53

***I wonder if our foes have left any guardians here?***

Kyron moves forward and his perception guides him so he knows that there is no one near him.

D6.

An elaborate cylindrical device fashioned from interlocking coppery gears, rods, and pistons runs from the floor to the ceiling in this chamber.

Bands of illusory Ignan writing encircle the device in free-floating rings.

Each device radiates an overwhelming aura of transmutation magic (CL 20th).

Each device’s recalibration requires a single skill check.
D6: The Pyroclastic Aperture (area D6): Craft (clockwork), Knowledge (engineering), and Profession (engineer) are all ideal skills for repairing it.
These alternate skills are Craft (clockwork), Disable Device, Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (engineering), Knowledge (planes), Profession (engineer), and Use Magic Device.
In place of a skill check, a PC can instead attempt a DC 21 Dexterity, Intelligence, or Wisdom check. A PC who has one or more Fire Affinity boons (earned from several Season 8 Pathfinder Society scenarios) gains a +3 insight bonus on these checks for each such boon she possesses. A PC who can read Ignan gains a +2 bonus on these checks. If a PC succeeded at the DC 35 Knowledge check to recall information during this scenario’s briefing, she gains a +2 bonus on the check. If a PC has an especially suitable class ability or spell for this task, consider awarding as much as a +5 bonus on the check to repair a device. These bonuses are cumulative.

Auto-succeed at the spoiler

"Look - see the dent encompassing that collection of rods?" Lichaam points to a portion of the machinery. "Someone tried to disable the forge, probably to stop the trueflame catastrophe that destroyed this place." He pauses, then adds "Or as an attack, I suppose."

"I believe our best option is to work out a new calibration routine from first principles, rather than trying to precisely reverse the damage. I have two scrolls that would help with that."

Kyron also auto succeeds for the spoiler.

"It looks like that may take a short while to repair... You mentioned that there were four devices which need calibration. It's probably worth us locating and assessing them all first before we start the work, just to make sure we have a full understanding of what we need to do."

"In fact a quick check of the whole area would also be beneficial from the perspective of potentially locating other useful information which could be pertinent to our task."

With all the skilled adventurers in the party, Fendahl keeps watch, understanding his knowledge of machinery is limited at best.

Maybe we can speed this up as the routine is the same! ;-) And you are going to explore the area.
~
The Distillation Capacitor (area D4): This device stores
and processes the bursts of trueflame to provide a more
steady stream of fire at the forge. Craft (alchemy) is the ideal
skill for repairing it.
~
The Eldritch Calculus (area D5): This device assesses
dangerous fluctuations in trueflame flares, shielding the
forge’s machinery and using transmutation magic to help
direct the fires. Knowledge (arcana) is the ideal skill for
repairing it.
~
The Pyroclastic Aperture (area D6): This device controls
the valves and pipe widths to control how much trueflame
can enter the system. Craft (clockwork), Knowledge
(engineering), and Profession (engineer) are all ideal skills
for repairing it.
~
The Metaplanar Engine (area D7): This device warps the
esoteric boundaries between the Planes of Earth and Fire,
using the energy of excess trueflame to fuel processes that
provoke sustained bursts of the supernatural fire. Knowledge
(planes) is the ideal skill for repairing it.
~
Alternate skills are Craft (clockwork), Disable Device,
Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (engineering), Knowledge
(planes), Profession (engineer), and Use Magic Device.
In place of a skill check, a PC can instead attempt a DC
21 Dexterity, Intelligence, or Wisdom check. A PC who
has one or more Fire Affinity boons (earned from several
Season 8 Pathfinder Society scenarios) gains a +3 insight
bonus on these checks for each such boon she possesses. A
PC who can read Ignan gains a +2 bonus on these checks.
If a PC succeeded at the DC 35 Knowledge check to recall
information during this scenario’s briefing, she gains a
+2 bonus on the check. If a PC has an especially suitable
class ability or spell for this task, consider awarding as
much as a +5 bonus on the check to repair a device. These
bonuses are cumulative.

~

So do me a favor and just everyone make four skill checks based on the guidelines above and I will take the highest bonus as the lead and the others with lower bonuses as aids. I hope that works for you?

Can the aids use different skills from the list? If so I'll go with the ideal skill for each:

D4: Craft (alchemy) + GH + Ignan + DC35 pass: 1d20 + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 42
D5: Knowledge (arcana) + HA + CE + GH + Ignan + DC35 pass: 1d20 + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 46
D6: Knowledge (engineering) + HA + CE + GH + Ignan + DC35 pass: 1d20 + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 50
D7: Knowledge (planes) + HA + CE + GH + Ignan + DC35 pass: 1d20 + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 27 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 38

After they've explored the area, Lichaam prepares for the repair by casting two scrolls, extending them with a Cyphermage technique.
Scrolls of Whispering Lore and Heightened Awareness, extended.

Rolls include Clear Ear, Good Hope, Heightened Awareness, mwk book, Whispering Lore, speaking Ingan, and passing the briefing's Knowledge check. Note that Good Hope will expire before the third check is finished.
D4: T10 Planes: 10 + 31 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 57
D5: T10 Arcana: 10 + 32 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 54
D6: T10 Planes: 10 + 31 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 57
D7: T10 Planes: 10 + 31 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 57

So do me a favor and just everyone make four skill checks based on the guidelines above and I will take the highest bonus as the lead and the others with lower bonuses as aids. I hope that works for you?

No, I really don't like that plan and I think you moved way too fast on this part without allowing time for players to post.

"We should do these simultaneously, not sequentially," Daathiel says. "Our spells of protection are of limited duration and some will expire if we do these in sequence. As well, more enemies could arrive. We should split up. Or I will, anyway."

Without waiting for a consensus, he heads off to recalibrate one of the systems. "I do not believe I will require any assistance with this." He will not accept any Aid Another, nor any MW books. He gets the +2 for speaking Ignan and the +3 for making the DC 35 Knowledge check during the briefing.

He will proceed to area D7 and attempt to calibrate the Metaplanar Engine.
Knowledge (Planes), Lore Master 2 of 3, Good Hope, Heightened Awareness, Ignan, Briefing: 20 + 30 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 59
Again, he does not accept any assistance on this check.

If he completes area D7 while the others are still collaborating on area D5, then he will move on to D6 and do that by himself - unless someone else takes that one.

But in any event, he will make sure the task is completed within 10 minutes rather than 15 or 20. 5 would be even better.

"But-" Lichaam starts, then stops himself. Daathiel was well-read, and surely knew the risks of running off on his own.

He does recall one fact that should become relevant shortly, though. "Fendahl, if we successfully break the Opal, that will likely also destroy Fossilblight. Be ready to switch weapons."

Fendahl nods

”Agreed. I will be ready.“

Each device the you successfully repair and recalibrate enhances the strength of the forge’s trueflame, you know.

The Distillation Capacitor can now again store and process the bursts of trueflame to provide a more steady stream of fire at the forge. The Eldritch Calculus is now perfectly able to assess the dangerous fluctuations in trueflame flares, shielding the forge’s machinery and using transmutation magic to help direct the fires. The Pyroclastic Aperture is also repaired to control the valves and pipe widths to control how much trueflame can enter the system. And lastly, the Metaplanar Engine now accurately warps the esoteric boundaries between the Planes of Earth and Fire, using the energy of excess trueflame to fuel processes that provoke sustained bursts of the supernatural fire.

This has been an unbelievable accomplishment and you know that this was a task that only a few mortals could have been successful at ... and you did it!

~

There is only one area that you have not checked (D3).

You approach the last room in the far north-eastern corner.

And you are clearly surprised!

A shimmering cube of force ten feet on each side hovers inches off of the ground at the back of this ancient chamber.

Seated crosslegged inside the cube is a horned, crimson-skinned creature covered in golden runic tattoos. Deep, jagged scars mar some of the creature’s tattoos, and its wrists are bound by a thick pair of cold iron shackles covered in blazing blue sigils.

This is an Efreeti and you can roll kn planes to learn more about their abilities.

~

You surpass the DCs so I will just tell you what you know from this setting.

You realize that this is a transparent forcecage (CL 18th) that allows sound to travel inside and out.

You believe that you can dispel the forcecage, or you can attempt to disable it using a series of runes on the opposite wall.

You think that you could easily activate the correct sequence of runes (DC 25 Knowledge arcana) or DC 30 Disable Device check.

You also realize that the Efreeti's manacles are made of adamantine and they bear a tremendously complex lock.

With Daathiel's splitting of the party, they finished the calibrations in half the time. Helpful, but against both conventional and proven wisdom. Sometimes risks paid off.

Lichaam examines the scene, quickly determining how to free the efreeti from the forcecage. He takes a few seconds to consider what he knows of the outsiders.

T10 Planes: 10 + 31 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 51

"May I ask who you are and what you are doing here?" Lichaam asks carefully. If there was one thing most of the stories had in common, it was that these creatures often twisted words. The question was little vague, and possible to be misinterpreted. That ought to give them an idea as to how helpful the apparent prisoner was.

When the you speak, the genie addresses you politely and matter-of-factly in Common.

“I am Isah the Golden, First Flame of the Secret Fire. I am enemy to those who claim this place as their own and potentially your greatest ally, if you free me! What a fortunate discovery you’ve made. It is not every day outsiders such as you stumble upon a literal genie, such as myself, in need of freedom. Surely you’re aware how those stories go, yes? Freedom for a wish or three? Today is a day like those stories, if you would have it be so!“
