GM Tyranius (PF2) Gatewalkers

Game Master Tyranius

Nicky's words have no effect against the undead as his hand beams get out of control causing him serious injuries. The dragon's breath rolls over Nicholo dealing grievous wounds as his body ignites from his out of control powers

Mindless so immune to mental effects.

76 damage from the dragon breath attack. 7 damage from the Mild Backlash on your powers and 7 damage from the Moderate Backlash.

Before Nicholo falls his rays scorch across the dragon's own chest burning away the rotting flesh.

Reflex DC 25: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (9) + 18 = 27

Alvarius shocks the corpse before a forcebolt cracks one of the smaller ribs. Daehalya cautious moves forward, not wanting to draw its wraith as she swings with enough force to drop a hill giant,tossing it back a few feet.

Indeed, it is immune to bleed damage since it is undead.

Onye and Uhu attack but can't get through the dragons thicker exterior and into its juicy center.

Reflex DC 25: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31

Grundles trash tonado deals a little bit of damage as the dragon turns, targeting the closest threat within reach as it bites at Daehalya.

Jaws vs Daehalya AC 27: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (11) + 21 = 32
Damage: 2d10 + 12 ⇒ (3, 5) + 12 = 20 Retributive Strike Resists 10

Damage: 2d10 + 12 ⇒ (2, 5) + 12 = 19

Onye can only do so much as he protects Daehalya as much as he can. The dragon takes several bites at her, hiting each time leaving large dents in the elf's body.

The cheetah chirps and growls as he bounds forward; the large owl circles around the dragon and wings away. The hunting cat bites at the putrid dragon again.

Daehalya's blood flows far more freely than the skeletal creature's, as its bites nearly tear her apart. But Nicky's body lies nearby, and she knows if she doesn't keep up the fight, more will be beside it.

She steps forward again, staff swinging.

Grundle attempts to gaslight Nicholo into consciousness.

"Nicky, the pain you feel is only as real as you allow it to be."

Soothe, heightened to L3: 3d10 + 12 ⇒ (5, 9, 4) + 12 = 30

He then maintains the trash tornado on the trash dragon.

Animated Assault, DC25 Reflex: 2d10 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Animated Assault, DC25 Reflex: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Lying on the ground, prone. Nicky moans.
Oh, living is fairly painful. It's especially sharp right now Grundle. But, I am glad I'm feeling pain instead of The Void. So your help is making all the difference.

Nicky Stands up, and moves out of the area. Pulling out a potion of healing to down his throat.

Alvarius speaks arcane words and waves his hands, conjuring crackling electricity that dances along his bony fingers. With an outstretched thrust he sends the magical energy lancing out toward the skeletal dragon.
Electric Arc, DC 25 Reflex: 5d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 4, 2, 2) = 10

He then speaks another word of magic, erecting a temporary magical shield for himself.

Reflex DC 25 (Electric Arc): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

Alvarius shields himself as the electricity from his spell is shrugged off harmlessly by the dragon. Daehalya gets back in close and cracks another bone with her staff as Onye can't seem to get more power behind his own bite.

Reflex DC 25 (Animated Assault): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31

Grundle brings Nicky back to conciousness as the rubble makes small headway against the side of the undead dragons head. Nicky is able to get to his feet as he stubles out of the path, ducking below the dragons jaws as it indlessly bites at Daehalya.

Jaws vs Daehalya AC 25: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (8) + 21 = 29

Daehalya falls as the jaws crush thrugh her chest. Onye tries to protect her but it is too late as his jaws crush through one of the more brittle fingers.

Grundle attempts to gaslight Nicholo Daehalya into consciousness.

"Daehalya, the pain you feel is also only as real as you allow it to be."

Soothe, heightened to L4: 4d10 + 16 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 7) + 16 = 36

He then continues to maintain the trash tornado on the trash dragon.

Animated Assault, DC25 Reflex: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Concerned about the effectiveness of his electrical magic, Alvarius tries a different spell. He conjures a spectral had, its fingers made of razor sharp blades. The hand moves toward the dragon, claws attempting to gouge furrows into the bone.
Gouging Claw w/Reach Spell vs Dragon: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
Damage (S): 5d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 6, 2) = 17 plus 2 Bleed damage (which I'm guessing it's immune to)

Daehalya blinks as she suddenly realizes she's on the ground. She shakes her head, trying to clear it, as she's not quite sure what just happened. She was fighting, and then remembers dodging the dragon ... and then Grundle talking to her. Hands questing out for her staff, she regains her footing. Her wounds seems to heal even more, the blood falling like snow from her body, as she smashes the thing with her stagg.

When you gain this deviation, the GM secretly selects one type of energy damage or precious material, such as fire or cold iron. When you take damage of that type, your wound smokes until the end of your next turn, preventing you from using High-Speed Regeneration.

Nicky guzzles one of the potions.

He then pulls out his pre-loaded crossbow and takes aim!

Onye is up

The giant cheetah snaps and claws at the undead dragon. He begins to weave in and out between the dragon's legs.

◆ Strike: +1 handwraps of might blows, wild shape, jaws (T): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33
Magic, Piercing: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 1) + 5 = 7

◆ Catfolk Dance: Acrobatics (E) vs. Reflex DC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21 (Catfolk Dance)

Alvarius' new spell is extremely effective as it scrapes dead flesh from the dragons ribs. Weakness 10 to slashing and Undead are immune to bleed

Onye's teeth chomp into the dragons neck once more but not nearly as effective as Alvarius spell.

Reflex DC 25 (Animated Assault): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33

Grundle soothes Daehalya as his debris continues to slowly batter such a large foe. Nicholo drinks his potion and pulls out his crossbow, blasting the dragon in the orbital socket. The dragon leans down to eat Daehalya and she stands up breaking the dragon's jaw from its corpse as it collapses back into the earth.

@Nicholo how do you have 4d8 for your crossbow or did you double the dice for the crit? With 2E normally the damage is rolled normally and you just double the end result.

Even in her zombified form, the mindless undead dragon that was Ymynsallion continued to hoard spoils from her depredations. Wrapped in the zombie’s leathery, rotten stomach is a total of 500 gp in mixed coinage, gems, and jewelry.

Having gathered enough clues you are able to determine that the legacy of Domora’s god callers might yet remain in the city’s subterranean cistern. You figure you are able to enter the cistern via a dried-out tunnel in the remains of the nearby lake called Hume’s Pool.

Sakuachi looks to you as she helps with the wounded. "I insist I must accompany you on this portion of the journey. I will need to be directly involved, the rest will remain back at camp."

The cheetah melts away into fading mists that reveal the amurrun warrior inside. "Come. Onye Dinta will heal the wounds on Daehalya and the rest of the tribe."

LOH/Refocus cycling

Good healing. Much needed. That Undead dragon hurt me big-time.
Now, this collection of gold and jewelry is impressive. 500 GP's worth of stuff. Yow-za's.

Daehalya looks intently at Sakauchi as Onye begins healing her. "It will be dangerous. Not that the rest of this hasn't been, but it seems almost certain that whatever is below the ground will be worse than what's above."

Sakauchi grimaces but nods her understanding. "I must be there. I feel it in my gut." In agreement you bring Sakauchi along to investigate the cistern.

This tunnel is a mucky morass of red mud and stagnant water. Above, a stone bridge spanning north to south overlooks the aquifer. A stairway leads up to the bridge. West of the stairway, a mound of rubble slopes up to a separate enclosure.

"Want to check that other enclosure before checking the stairs?"

Hell week at work. Please bot if Grundle's services are needed.

Might I remind everyone that *I* totally predicted the aquifer. We are here, and I made this up in my cool mind hours before us actually being here.
Nicky looks around smugly.

Well, from here - my creative brain is drawing a blank. Since Alvarius wants to check out an enclosure. Let us do it. The collection of Rubble is mighty interesting.

Using something odd ability for either here or the future rubble enclosure room.

Nicky looks keenly at his surroundings.

Daehalya nods and moves stealthily toward the enclosure, keeping an eye out for the next thing that seems certain to try to kill them here.

As you slog through the water you suddenly hear a booming voice inside your heads. “I am Ruun, one of the four who guard this cistern. I felt your presence when you first entered this domain, and I believe you may be worthy of my service. My kin, however, are not so sure."

"To prove yourself, visit our shrines at the bottom of the wells in these tunnels. At each, you must make a worthy sacrifice, and you must overcome a challenge posed by the shrine’s patron. Complete my three siblings’ challenges, and we will unseal the cistern’s door."

“Within, elder Dyzad does battle with Malgamon. If you can defeat Malgamon and offer me your final sacrifice, then I will deign to let you call upon me as your god.”

Sakuachi stands in ominous silence as she listens to Ruun’s instructions. When Ruun at last falls silent, Sakuachi turns to you and gives a determined look, eager to begin, a smile creeing along her face.

Before heading to the bridge you investigate the small enclsure to the northwest. This bed of sticky red clay slopes up and around a cavern wall to the north. Buried in the muck here you find a jade serpent wondrous figurine poking its tail out of the clay.

"And this is why we stay curious," Alvarius says, pulling the statue out of the muck. "For the treasures!"

When the voice booms in his skull, he shakes his head. "I'm not likely to call you my god, but if you can help I will call upon you to do your godly duties."

With an enthusiastic, Yeah Buddy! We found some good stuff.

As the guardian Ruun speaks in his head, he already knows he's worthy.
He's Nicky of course. These tests are going to be a breeze. It's the sacrifices he's not so sure of and asks for help.

Now with this game of sacrifices, anyone know what they might be alluding to? Because maiming and ritualistic killings are not in my wheelhouse. Anyone have an idea of the kind of sacrifice we might have to make? Maybe "Can't get or give a neck hickey on a day beginning with the letter T"?

Nicky proceeds to the first Cistern alter, assumedly over the bridge. He starts walking. Taking note of who keeps the Jade serpent.
Speaking of which, he pulls out the Onyx Dog and activates it.

"Onye Dinta has sacrificed... something in the course of the quest," the catfolk says behind his mask. "Onye Dinta cannot remember what was sacrificed. The sacrifice was not flesh or blood. Does Nicholo remember?"

"I have a goddess already, and I think she would not be happy if I turned my back on her. After all, she had the opportunity to do that to us, and she refused, guiding us to safety when all was at its darkest," Daehalya replies to the voice.

If the voice seems inclined to respond to our rejoinders/to answer our questions, Daehalya will ask if it will tell them about its siblings and what sort of challenges they offer and sacrifices they would accept.

The voice does not seem inclined to respond further and seems to have been more towards Sakuachi rather than yourselves. So no need to turn your backs on yours own Gods.

Where to next?

Let's move on. It's not a chatty God-ling. Probably doesn't like keg parties, or Chelaxian Tea socials. We can move on. Maybe one of the other Godlings will party with us and "kick the Keg".

And to Answer Onye. We all lost our memories by going through the Gates. Is that your reference? I GAINED Elven ears and Crotchety Donkey guy gained a cloven hoof. Not certain that was a gain - but some things you just shrug your shoulders on.

"No," the catfolk says slowly. "In front of the tree... But let Onye Dinta scout ahead." He slinks forward to descend into the darkness.

Natural stairs made from rocks create a three-way intersection here. West and east, the stairs ascend to flagstone tunnels. To the southwest descends a muddy tunnel.

Daehalya and Onye notice a pair of shadowy demons lurking silently in the corners of this chamber. Having heard you they seem to be looking for easy prey.

"Demons" Daehalya whispers, tipping her staff ever so slightly forward. She's ready to fight if her fellow EPOTs are. They could try to trip the ambush and turn it around, but better to just rush in, she thinks.

Alvarius sighs. He knows this group will want to pick a fight with the demons. So be it.

He makes a sign to indicate his readiness.

The catfolk speaks his prayer to the spirits of creation. He melts away into an expanding mist that reforms as a giant hunting cat. He moves into the middle of the cave, ready to fight against the demons.

◆◆ Cast: wildshape
◆ Stride

Alvarius is the only one able to recognize these fiese for what they truly are. Vile Invidiaks, for most demons, possessing a creature requires a ritual, magic item, or condition, but for invidiaks, who lack a body, possession is akin to donning a suit of clothing. Known also as shadow demons, invidiaks are formed from envious mortal souls. They do seem to have a bit of a weakness against cold iron material.

Onye transforms as he prepares for battle, as Daehalya remains cautious in her approach. Daehalya is able to discern roughly what and who they will attack as she prepares herself. Predictable success on both accounts.

Holding their hands out small shadowy explosions burst forth from the shadows underneath Onye and Daehalya.

"Well, we can't have both of them working together. Let me see if I can stop one of them for a time."

Alvarius begins moving his hands in broad, sweeping arcs as he draws upon his magical power. Glowing sigils appear in the air before him, and when he finishes his spell they flash and silver light flows towards the mind of one of the shadow demons.

Cast Paralyze w/Reach Spell on Green. DC 25 Will save.

Will DC 25: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

The shadowy demon freezes in place as it becomes severely paralyzed. It is a strange sight as shadows freeze around the light moving around it.

Grundle scuttles up to see what's what. Noting that the skeleton has paralyzed one demon, likely for some nefarious, perverted ends, Grundle instead focuses on the other.

He picks up a rock with his mind and throws it at the demon in red.

Almost certain what the demons were going to do, Daehalya easily ducks under the blasts of shadow, avoiding any damage. Seeing Alvarious has one of them well contained, she dashes toward the other, staff swinging. The magic in it is enough to knock the creature down, and she follows up with another blow.

Seeing that the shadow in Green is greatly affected by magic, he moves to help the others quickly dispatch the other shadow demon.

The Onyx Dog stays in the corridor with Alvarius.

Nicholo moves in, slowly pulling out his rapier in a dramatic fashion while Alvarius freezes one in place for nefarious, pervented ends later. Grundle picks up a stone that is much too heavy and launches it at the wall near the second demon.

Daehalya slams her staff into the demon, knocking it to the ground before anymore strange explosions go off. Her and Onye begin the pummeling process to make it regret its options.

The creature plays unconcious as it reaches out and grabs ahold of Daehalya's ankle.
