GM Zoomba's Secluded Tomb Siege (PFS 3-09 & 3-14) (Inactive)

Game Master Zoomba

Manny feels the wings of a butterfly pushing him. He takes a Step back.

Then he heals himself.

Will assume Zenith uses their reaction on the now-paralyzed you, so you get one more chance to Will Save v the Paralysis

Yup, was waiting to see if someone failed the paralysis save. This would also provide Resist All 8 to the mental damage

Zenith feels a wave a comfort wash over them, allowing them to begin moving once more just in time for the bone-chilling scream to enter their ears. With no time to prepare, Zenith catches the full scream. As Zenith turns their head to the side in pain they see Anjo paralyzed. "Break free..." they shout over the screaming.

The kayal quickly grabs one of lesser healing potions, downs it, and then throws their trusted starknife at the nearest foe (red).

Basic Will Save DC 26, circle, frightened: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 - 1 = 16 -> 32 damage = 18/86

lesser healing potion, self: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 7) + 5 = 18 =36/80

Strike Red w/ Eclipse (cold iron, returning starknife), frightened,: 1d20 + 15 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 15 - 1 = 24
S dmg: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11

1d6 ⇒ 3 1d8 ⇒ 7 So 3 spaces NW, which places me outside of the room. I'm not sure I would teleport then? I'll Let GM update my token if i should be moved

Actions: Reaction ↺ Liberating Step: Anjo ◆Draw lesser healing potion ◆drink potion ◆Strike (throw starknife)

MAnny lashes out at the non-mummy target before him but firghtened as he is he just cant put enough force behind the swing to wrap around it. Luckily his previous step back gave him some breathing room and his soothing spell knits together a lot of his injuries

Zenith, now mobile again, is hit hard by the undead's cry. Luckily they manage to hit back at the creature not quite at much as you'd hope - the bony form seems to resist slashing and quaff a potion themselves. Then they vanish in the blink of an eye before reappearing...exactly where they were. due to your starting position right at the room's edge and the nature of the effect, I believe you weirdly stay where you are.

Anjo hears Zenith's voice, but cannot will his body to obey. The dice gods giveth and they taketh away.

DC 26 Basic Will Save vs 16 Mental damage: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Failure for 16 damage (28/62 HP)

"Hmp." Adrenaline rushing, Itka casts Slow on the mummy, then backs up into a corner. Hmp. I'm not afraid anymore. Hope she stays back then.

Purple mummy needs to make a DC 22 Fortitude save vs. Slow.

◆◆ Cast a spell, ◆ Stride

Mummy Will: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29

Anjo finds himself paralyzed for just that one round at least; you'll be good in a moment. Meanwhile Itka's spell smei-paralyzes the mummy a bit, if for not as much as she'd hoped. Success, so she's slowed 1

"Hey, Pharaoh Lady. Er, Rahmet I. I see you're approaching me. You're not exactly my type, with the desiccated flesh and all. But we could send you to the Boneyard real quick, ya know?"

The mummy strides up the stairs and rasps out in anger towards the bard in her ancient tongue. It's not fully clear how much she understands you, but at least something you said seems to have heavily drawn her ire.

{Ancient Osiriani} You mock the name of my beloved? I will kill you Setian; you shall not stop our journey through the Dark Desert to find her!

Stab: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31 for Piercing: 2d8 + 11 ⇒ (5, 8) + 11 = 24

Her spear again pierces Manny's flesh. Though not quite as badly as last time, that same creeping rot threatens to spread from the wound. Need a Fort save v mummy rot

It was supposed to be a Fortitude save, not a Will save. See the Slow spell entry for confirmation.

My bad. Using her Fort save mod to that dicebot roll, the result would still have been a Success

Still puzzled why she keeps getting teleported, Franzine shakes it off when she notices the mummy pharaoh on the steps attacking her friends. Steeling her resolve to help them, she darts around and up the first few steps to strike the mummy. She lashes out with wide swings of her blade.

As Franzine approaches the mummy it lashes out at the champion. Her lance pierces you Though Zenith's Reaction cushions the blow by 8 but Franzine delivers back a wallop of a blow in response. Then she vanishes again, only to reappear towards the east wing.

From around the corner of the east wing the second skeletal figure flies back into the center of the room. Noticing the mummy gesturing with her injured hand towards Franzine, it continues to fly across the room to lash out at the shielded warrior. Its talon clangs off or her harmlessly, but it stays where it is even as the Vises' shadows cover it for a moment.

Talon: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18 for Slashing: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 3) + 8 = 13

On the stairwell the other boned figure continues to fly towards you. But its one-two-swipe of taloned claws are wildly ineffective...this time.

Bloodied and battered, Franzine isn't feeling so hot.
Fortitude: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

And annoyed that she keeps getting shunted about.

Trying to catch her breath, she calls out to her teammates,
"There's a dwarf in there! In the shadow plane, or whatever is on the other side through those shadow vices!"

"A dwarf?" Manny looks on the bright side. "Great, we'll try to rescue them."

But the stairs are blocked. Manny notices the pharaoh isn't keeping her eyes on him, so he tries to trip the Red-winged thing again.

Athletics vs Red's Reflex DC: 1d20 + 15 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 15 - 1 + 1 = 22

He then turns to the pharaoh. "Alright, time to get you to back off. We need some space, here!" Manny carefully cups his hands and shouts the phrase of power. "Ka-me-ha-me... uh... no wait, wrong spell. Shinkuu HADOKEN!"

A >Kinetic Ram< of force bursts from his cupped hand, trying to knock the pharaoh back.

Will Save vs Shadow Plane: 1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 1 = 15
The shadows wrap around Manny and send him... somewhere.

Manny tries to control the increasingly crowded head of the stairs a bit more. Unfortunately his whip fails to trip the nearest undead and the mummy holds her ground she has also used her Reaction against Franzine; so no more AoOs from her until her next turn (in case the rest of you are worried about provoking).

Then the bard finds himself vanishing, only to reappear with some space for himself at least.

Anjo sees Manny attempt a spell agains the mummy and calls out in frustration,

"Spells are have little to no effect on the mummy focus on the the other two."

Anjo activates his goggles, puts some distance between himself and the pharoh and fires.

His skin burned and shred and blood flowing freely from his burst eardrums, Hammid thrusts his gauntlet up and crawls forth as if from being buried alive in a heavy, suffocating dune, clutching firm ground and pulling himself out of his fear state, occupying once again the higher-order functions of his sophisticated mind.

He remember his mission: to get to and activate the Umbral Vise!

◆) Hasted Stride

Arriving as if upon the wind of a haboob, he sets his mind to the device again, thinking on the dwarf he had seen in his brief shuntings... Can I use the device to open another portal?...

Zenith was worried about provoking, good to know!

Seeing the Mummy lash out at Franzine's movement, the now-freed duskwalker bolts to action. Zenith attempts to tumble through the mummy. Sliding across the floor, they take their starknife and confidently attempt to slice through the mummified flesh.

Manny: what specifically are you trying to do with the Umbral Vise. It currently seems to be venting weird energy (which seems to be causing the 'flickering' effect many of you have experienced): are you trying to turn it off to stop that? Are you trying to use it to transport to a different Plane?

Anjo goes way the heck back but the added range doesn't seem to hurt his aim: two quick arrows into the mummy at the lip of the stairs pinion her.

An action which is quickly followed up by Zenith who - after needing to tumble around twice to get their confidence up - delivers a precision strike before flickering away. Crit! the mummy is still standing, but looking very bedraggled. And is currently lacking an obvious target as all the party has, intentionally or not, scattered.

GM: I think you meant to ask Moonlight what he wanted to do with the Umbral Vise?

"You're right Anjo. This pharaoh is pretty anti-magic. Well, most magic, anyway..."

Correct: that Q was for Moonlight.

When Zenith tumbles past the pharoh and deals a crippling blow, its all Anjo can do to keep from fist pumping.

Knowing something about magic, Anjo turns to the witch

'Itka can you magic missile the pharoh, at heightened power?"

Winding the tuning knob, Moonlight feels for the frequency with his (damaged) inner ear, and tries to dampen the noise muddying the planar signal...

Moonlight reaches the Umbral Vise and rapdily adjust its settings. The strange magitech device hums quieter and quieter as it shuts down, and the shadow-stuff flowing around it disappears. The device is currently Deactivated. You're Weakness to negative energy is completely gone, and you no longer need to make Will saves to avoid 'flickering' in this room.

Itka's trio of bolts slam into the mummy, who is looking very bedraggled by this point. She carefully ascends the last of the stairs and stumbles to the room's entryway. Gazing out at the witch and the archer, she rasps {In Ancient Osiriani} You corrupted our vessel to find her. You defile now the gallery to her memory. In Rehenet's name die Setians!

Anjo had contemplated hiding behind the wall, but had hoped the mummy would try to blast him with sand and avoid his comrades, or most of them anyway. The last time, Anjo had been unlucky. This time Anjo was hoping he could avoid the blast entirely..

Manny moves to focus and help Franzine down one of the harrassing undead. It's not his strongest hit, but kept off-guard by his ally's blows and with magic fortune at his back the lash does whip the creature to crack some more of its bones.

Franzine feels a rush of positive energy wash over her. Several open wounds close and dark bruises fade. She glances about in shock wondering where the healing came from.
"Whoever that was, thank you!!!" she calls out, grateful for the healing.

Zenith finds themself teleported across the room, unable to protect their teammates. Save them...or take out biggest threat.... Zenith takes a split second to decide and begin running south. Dreadful aura...lashes out. Keep distance they remind themself as they strategically place themself out of harms way. The duskwalker lines up the furthest shot they've ever attempted against a foe and prays, Desna, guide me, as they hurl the starknife across the room. The starknife sings through the air, back to Zenith's ready arm.

"God's let that be it for her." Not waiting to see, Anjo fires off a soothing mist at itka, hoping the creature wasn't going to exploit Anjo's distraction.

Zenith digs deep in both aim and prayer as they hurl their starknife at the tattered mummy. Their aim is true! The starknife digs deep into the mummy's torso and slashes through its linen wrappings. As the starknife flies back to the kayal's hand dark poweder spills out rapidly from the hole in the cloth. The mummy turns to looks towards Zenith with its empty sockets. It mutters rehent... before collapsing down, dust spilling out from the remainign pile of old bandages and jewelery. Mummy down! (Zentih can Stride where you would with that 3rd action).

And seeing that Anjo releases a magical mist around Itka that soothes the half-orc's wounds and wakes her. Is the tide turning???

No more mummy = no more frightened condition, right?

Jerking awake with a gasping "Hmp," Itka glances around to take stock of what she missed. Hmp. Dead mummy. Good. Ganging up on that one. Good. Where are Moonlight and Anjo? Hearing sounds of a scuffle around the corner to her right, she crawls forward to sling a spell around the corner. Greasy tendrils grab a large gemstone from the mummy's collapsed form and slam it into the red undead closest to her.

Moonlight watches the proud witch crawl across the floor like a wounded beetle, and from the safety of his invisibility, raises his nose to such behavior.

"Hmp" he mutters to himself...

Frightened is gone, yes

Zenith can't quite make their way through the bony undead's position even with their missing flesh leaving larger gaps. Failure on the Tumble roll

An awak Itka crawls along and launches some magically enhanced accessories at the creature menacing Anjo. It slams into it hard! not a crit, but full damage - they don't resist bludgeoning like they have been slashing and piercing

Franzine bashes away...

+1 striking shield boss & map: 1d20 + 15 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 15 - 5 = 18

+1 striking shield boss & map: 1d20 + 15 - 10 ⇒ (20) + 15 - 10 = 25
bash: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 = 12

Franzine pushes out...and misses. And pushes out...and misses again.
But the third time is the charm: A critical bash causes the undead's bones to shatter! It crumbles in piece to the ground: lifeless and unlife-less

Talon Strike: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31 for Slashing: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 4) + 7 = 16
Talon Strike: 1d20 + 15 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 15 - 4 = 26 for Slashing: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 6) + 7 = 19

The now sole undead still moving flies towards Anjo in a rage at the archer. It's swings seem a bit different now that the mummy's gone, but not different enough that Anjo avoids getting slashed twice.

"Good job! Now let's finish them off!" Manny heads where he is needed.

Manny runs up the stairs before shouting triumphantly. "Come on Anjo!" He >Inspires Courage< among his friends.

◆◆ Stride twice
◆ >Inspires Courage< for +1 Attack/Damage

Unaware of Moonlight's snobbery, Itka rises awkwardly on her bad hips and chucks another chunk of heavy jewelry at the remaining undead.

Telekinetic Projectile vs. red: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 1 = 30

"Hmp."

◆ Stand, ◆◆ Cast a spell

Anjo's teeth clenched as the winged skeleton tore into Anjo's flesh. Heal himself, or fight back? Anjo was encourage when he saw Itka send another rock at it, smashing bone in the process. Moving to the far side of the creature, Anjo set the creature as his prey and fired a signature volley of arrows.

Hunt Prey triggers another Recall Knowlege which gives everyone a +1 on the attack if he crits on the check +11 on religion checks vs undead

Attack are combined for the purposes of Resistance

Inspired by Manny's voice echoing about them once more Itka and Anjo pepper the last undead Which by Anjo's anaylis are a type of maftet skeleton. Under the trio of projectiles, it too breaks and shatters!
