GM Tyranius (PF2) Gatewalkers

Game Master Tyranius

Nicky steps forward as he sees Daehalya figure eight her staff at the being of elemental cold.
He looks to get in a good strike for himself and maybe distract it for Daehalya!

Let me try this new and fancy Rapier on you creature of elemental evil! On 3 in 6 lies 9! For none shall ever see- vile good cloaked by fair evil for eternity!

Nicky recites some poem that he recalls from his days at the circus when the RingMaster would hold performances he advertised as Elemental Madness. And he'd call his circus tent - a Temple of Elemental Evil.

Reflex DC 21 (Electric Arc): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Alvarius shocks the elemental with his spells as Daehalya's staff sweeps through the sparks and freezing mist, pulling some back into the waters below.

As Daehalya strikes the blizardborn a part of it shatters creating a small explosion of razor sharp ice crystals and blinding snow.

↺ Shattering Ice (Daehalya, Onye, and Nicholo: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7 DC 26 Basic Reflex. Failure is also Blinded 1 round and Crit Fail is Blinded 3 rounds

Grundle isn't able to intimidate the blizzard but does manage to heal some of Onye's frostbite. Nicholo's rapier pierces the core of the storm dealing damage to it as the winds shudder for the briefest of moments. Onye strikes back but he is shaking to much to make any significant impact.

Ezgara hurls flames into the middle of the storm as it seems to have a weakness to fire as some of the cold dissipates from the air around you. Weakness Fire 5

The frost-covered cheetah manages to twist out of the way of any significantly sized shards of ice. He rallies and interposes himself between the storm and Daehalya. The cat bites and swipes at the elemental's amorphous legs, trying to keep it off balance.

"Wash and re-wear, I suppose," Alvarius says, once more hurling lightning at the elemental.
Electric Arc vs Elemental, DC 21 Reflex: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 4) = 14

Snow and shattered ice erupt in the area. Nicky and his friends are at ground zero. The Tiefling likes to think of himself as lithe, but really he's not. Tell that to his brain as he does his best to duck, dive, dodge the ice heading at his face.

reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 DC 26.

Seeing the enemy, he slashes at it with his magical rapier in a perfect flanking position with Onye.

I think we are quickly discovering that *I* am the greater force of nature! Aha! Your cold shards are easily dodged, but my deft blade is not!

Nicholo sends a crack through the ice as an electrical arc travels along it surface into the elemental. Daehalya's staff misses as she is temporarily blinded by the shards. Nicholo's rapier finds solid ground as he jabs it inot the elementals core.

Onye twists out of the way as his claws shred through the thinning ice layers.

See if Grundle and Ezgara can finish the elemental off.

Grundle attempts to whack off the ice man.

"Ice creature: your continued assault has left me no choice but to lose my temper."

He Unleashes his Psyche (free action) and lets loose a Psi Burst at the creature.

Psi Burst (DC 21 basic Reflex): 3d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 3) = 8

If it is still standing, he follows with an Animated Assault as he whips the nearby debris into a frenzy around the creature.

Ezgara whiffs, and then continues spining a tale.

Ezgara spins a tale as the winds swirl the flames in his hands off to the side. Grundle loses his teper as his Psi burst whacks off another chunk of icy.

Reflex DC 21 (Psi Burst): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
Reflex DC 21 (Animated Assault): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

With the storm weakened Grundle picks up nearby debris and is able to finish the elemental off causing the cold to instantly dissipate. As soon as the elemental is defeated, the snow on deck melts away and the worst waves cease battering the ship.

It’s the final night of your voyage across the Lake, and dark storm clouds roll in to commemorate the occasion.

Captain Adney approaches you as Sakuachi till lies in a dream-like state. "We still have a full day before we reach Egede. You should get some rest too." He sees the worry on your faces. “We won’t have to worry about those bubbles anymore. We’ll be well past that part of the lake in no time.”

You easily see through his lie as he is trying to get you to feel more at ease. He gives a small smile of comfort. “We’ve got no other choice, I’m afraid. The only way out is through.” On this point, at least, the captain’s right.

At approximately three o’clock in the morning, a thin bubble emerges just a few hundred feet in front of the Mermaid’s Tears. It reaches the ship before Captain Adney can do anything about it, popping on the ship’s mast and dosing everyone on board with the strongest dose of gas yet.

Sakuachi’s guides, who were sleeping, are given terrible nightmares. The seer herself slowly rises for the first time in several days, sleepwalking up to the main deck where each of you seem to join one final shared dream.

After taking a breath of sweet air that is, by now, quite familiar, you’re hardly surprised when your vision blurs and melts into yet another vision. You stand on hard, frozen ground in the center of a circle of towering black monoliths. The spires, each hundreds of feet tall, stand against a moonless night sky, illuminated here and there by curtains of auroral light.

The sled you dragged with you in the previous vision is nowhere in sight, though Sakuachi is present once more, watching from a distance. Below you, the ground is a sheet of solid, blackest ice. Through the nigh-impenetrable ice, you see the form of a massive beast limned in iridescent blue light. You feel compelled to get closer to the titanic being, and kneel to do so. The ice cracks slightly.

A piercing scream breaks the hallucination and dissipates the vision. Back on the Mermaid’s Tears, Sakuachi stands on deck, mouth agape, clearly caught in her own hallucinatory trance. She stares with wild eyes at a mass of dark clouds rushing toward the ship at an alarming speed. As the clouds near, they resolve into the shape of some massive, whale-like monster—the same dark shape just glimpsed lurking beneath the ice! Its icy blue eyes shine through the storm like stars.

OH NO! The big Whale is here and I don't think we are ready.
Is it possible Sakuachi is the one bringing this being to us?!

Nicky tries to see if this is magical or Occult.
skills: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 1 = 25 +12 for Arcana & Occultism. If this is Religion , that is only +9. +1 Pursue a lead.

"Onye Dinta cannot believe what Onye Dinta has witnessed," the amurrun protests. "But Onye Dinta will stand against the unravelling now!"

"That's odd."

If appropriate, Grundle will attempt to identify this oddity.

“The stars!” Sakuachi cries deliriously. “They’ve come to punish us!” Indeed, the cloud-monster’s eyes become javelins of light which streak down toward the Mermaid’s Tears at incredible speed and land on deck with two audible thuds.

Watching the situation Grundle does indeed spot an oddity. Once again, your group has unwittingly brought an entity from your memories with you to the present moment. This time, the manifestation is that of Osoyo, the dread alien you spied beneath a floor of glacial ice in their latest vision.

To make matters worse, in Sakuachi’s own bubble-induced delirium, she’s subconsciously realized that your group is responsible for unleashing the Blackfrost Whale. Her panic causes a pair of violent stellar monsters to manifest aboard the Mermaid’s Tears.

The four beams of starlight that shoot from the memory of Osoyo’s eyes and land on the ship are manifestations of Sakuachi’s hallucinatory panic. As soon as they hit the deck of the Mermaid’s Tears, the vengeful stars solidify into snakelike entities.

While this entity isn't Osoyo itself it appears to be a phantasmal manifestation to Nicholo. This phantom isn’t really Osoyo—it’s an amalgam of the party’s psychic might, a force made semi-real by the effects of the lake’s mysterious gases and turned against the characters. This doesn’t mean the party’s in the clear, though; the mirage is still a dangerous entity.

Occultism (trained) or Arcana (trained) to divert the memory’s rage; multiple successful checks are required to disable the Memory of Osoyo.

Daehalya's staff smacks into the vengeful star, cracking a couple scales. The all hiss, swirling and coiling their serpentine bodies, causing the starlike motes on their scales to shift and move as they glow brighter, creating a mesmerizing swirl of light and darkness.

The bright lights fascinate Daehalya as she seems to find herself in a trance again. Still, much like the Twilight Speaker herself, it is a cold emotion, one that doesn't prevent her from moving into inexorable action, like a glacier slowly calving from the Crown of the World.

She carefully elf steps toward the nearest of the starry creatures, staff swinging in a mighty blow as she again seems to turn momentarily to ice herself.

Cast Mist, centered such that Ezgara is just at the edge of the mist.

Grundle sees Nicholo pull a Ben Franklin and, despite his lack of consciousness, tries to assure him that the problem is all in his head.

"Nicholo, The pain you're feeling, as sharp and immediate as it may seem, is a creation of your own mind. When the lightning struck, it ignited a fierce response within your nervous system, but it's your brain that interprets these signals as pain. Understanding that your perception is shaping this experience might help you manage and possibly mitigate the intensity of what you're feeling," Grundle gnomesplains.

He then casts Shield in case the snakes decide to take his intervention personally.

Onye rolls past the lightning bolt as he protects Daehalya as much as he can before side-swiping the other vengeful star.

Nicholo gets electrocuted as he collapses to the deck where Grundle provides emergency relief. Daehalya is unable to trip the creature and instead opts to kill it as he staff cracks across its starlit scales.

Nicky, upon getting the fine bout of healing from Grundle, shakes his head to clear the static and cobwebs from the noggin.

He reaches for his rapier, and stands to face off against the Naga with the purple scales.

◆ - Grab weapon
◆◆ - Stand
◆◆◆ - Strike

strike: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Nice! I didn't think that 21 would hit!

Alvarius turns his attention to the snake-person at the fore of the ship. He moves his hands in a series of arcane gestures, creating a trio of force missiles. With a fina flick, all three fly out to strike!
Force Barrage vs Pink: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 1) + 3 = 9

Indeed! They have the weak template.

Alvarius' spell batters the creature as Nicholo spins to his feet, stabbing it through the center of one of its scales.

The snake-like beings get out of the fog cloud, biting at Grundle and Alvarius.

Red Fangs vs Alvarius AC 20: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
Yellow Fangs vs Grundle AC 18: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Purple Fangs vs Onye AC 22: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

The Vengeful Stars bites all miss as you all seem to be getting a little quicker on your toes. To slow this down a little the wounded Vengeful Star uses the space around Onye to slow the Amurrun down.

@Onye- DC 22 Fort Save vs Slow

Moving around the foe, Daehalya decides she's not going to be able to trip them and just concentrates on disabling it as quickly as possible.

Stride, Strike x2

+1 striking staff 2H vs. pink: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Bludgeoning: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8
Sneak attack?: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12
Crit? You knock the target away from you up to 10 feet (you choose the distance). This is forced movement.

Will Nimble Dodge first attack that comes my way. (+2 circumstance bonus to AC against the triggering attack)

Fortitude (E): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

The leopard struggles against the vengeful star's magic. His movements are sluggish as he steps to take advantage of his companion's position and bites at the iridescent-scaled beast with a fierce roar.

Slow 1
◆ Step
◆ Strike: +1 handwraps of might blows, wild shape, jaws (T): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30 vs. flanked target
Magic, Piercing: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 6) + 5 = 13

Bump, this is the final fight of this section and yu guys have it on the ropes.

What amazingly low rolls from the GM! Woohoo!

Nicky is feeling down right awful. He was standing and doing fine - then the lightening cooked him good. Now, he's on the bad side of the health meter.
Still, Nicky has fight left in him and he's going to show the Mystic Whale (Onoyo), Sakuachi, Captain Adney and his friends some Tiefling Tenacity.

It ain't the size of the dog in the fight 'O Vengeful stars- it's the size of the fight in the D-O-G that wins. Take this you cosmic screw heads!

Nicky looks to get in a strategic blow.

◆ - DAS
strike: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 3 + (1, 2) = 11
◆ ◆ - Attack - Special. Giving Daelhaya Shared Stratagem. The creature is flat footed for her!
◆ ◆ ◆ - Raise Shield

Ezgara trots through the fog on his donkey hooves, giggling. Heheheheeeeee… A bolt of plasma cracks out from the center…

Sudden bolt Electricity, DC 21 Basic Reflex vs Purple (or most damged): 4d12 ⇒ (2, 1, 12, 2) = 17

Alvarius opts for hurling magical electricity at two of their foes.
Electric Arc vs Pink/Red, DC 21 Reflex: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 2) = 11

He then shouts an arcane word of protection, erecting a temporary shield. Cast Shield

Grundle loses his cool.

"I am utterly done with these infernal snakes on this accursed ship!"

(free action) Unleash Psyche

◆ Psi Burst on Purple
Damage vs Reflex DC 21: 3d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 1) = 7
◆◆ Agonizing Despair on Yellow
Damage vs Will DC 21*: 4d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1, 3, 2) + 6 = 18

Grundle dude? Where's the verbose words? You are normally so voluble.
Wait a second. Did they charm you or something? Are you dominated?
Nicky gives Grundle a squinted eye. He's about to sense motive and then sees the Gnome do a "scanners scene" on one of the starlings and another mind whammy on another starling.
Seeing that Grundle is giving the enemy "the business", he forgives Grundle for acting a bit out of character.

Purple Reflex DC 21 (Sudden Bolt): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

Purple Reflex DC 21 (Electric Arc): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
Red Reflex DC 21 (Sudden Bolt): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

The lunar creature dodges the sudden bolt released from within the fog, though this lines thr creature up for Alvarius as it still manages to receive a small shock.

Onye struggles against the magic but his jaws clamp down tight onto the vengeful star's serpentine body, rushing through the scales, holding it in place as Daehalya breaks its jaw.

Yellow Reflex DC 21 (Psi Burst): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Yellow Will DC 21 (Agonizing Despair): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Grundle completely loses his cool as his psyche unleashes across the storm. One of the snakemen writhes in mental agony. WIth his target defeated Nicholo rushes to help Alvarius as his blade penetrats the shining lunar body with ease.

The pair use the electricity from the storm as well as your group and build upon it sending more lightning bolts into Onye, Daehalya and Grundle.

Red Lightning Bolt (Onye and Daehalya): 4d12 ⇒ (7, 2, 3, 7) = 19 DC 22 Basic Reflex

Yellow Lightning Bolt (Grundle): 4d12 ⇒ (1, 1, 8, 9) = 19 DC 21 Basic Reflex
