[Gameday XII] PFS2 #4-10 Arclord's Abode (Inactive)

Game Master cmlobue

This room is a storage closet containing several dozen unfinished or experimental magical scrolls. Youspend a few minutes digging through the shelves, but most of the scrolls are half-finished. Most are odd experimental spells that cannot be used by any of you and would not have any value if sold. Every scroll in the room is appropriately labeled with the name of the spell being scribed into it. There is, however, one with an ornate paper tag labeled 'COMPREHEND' attacked, which is indeed a scroll of comprehend languages.

"Ooo! 'Banish Thumbs!' I know a few people I'd like that cast on. Heehee! ... 'Explosive Prunes'-- Only if they're rotten. Or you eat a whole pound of them. You know, I did that once, as a prank. While those pricks were out at a ball, I ate a pound of prunes, sneaked into their bedroom, and fouled up their chamber pot. They had quite the surprise when they came home! Heehee! ...'Tasha's Uncontrollable Hideous Daughter'--I knew someone like that once. I just told you about a prank I played on her." If there is to be no fighting in Mrs. Crinkle's immediate future, at least there can be some juvenile entertainment.

"If you guys don't mind, I will take this" says Mas, referring to the scroll of comprehend languages. He stops to see if anyone will protest.

The Pathfinders sort through the scroll storage for useful, or at least interesting, items, then head upstairs.

The stairs of this tower ascend 40 feet from the floor beneath it into a large circular room riddled with books, magical implements, and crafting equipment. The couches look well-worn and the northernmost of them is covered with unmade blankets, and several pillows, before a desk covered with a pile of handwritten documents and annotated books. The walls are covered with magical equations and geometric designs written in several different colors of chalk.

A tall, muscular shisk woman with heterochromatic eyes stands up from the northern most couch of the room. “Oh. There you are, Pathfinders. What took you all so long? I’ve been waiting for you all to get through those defenses and find the Arclord’s research for me. But now that you’re here, I’ll have to be taking whatever you have for myself,” she sneers. “Mother needs me to bring her that research so that she can cook some true names and mix them together. I don’t entirely get it myself, but I don’t have to. All I need to know is that you have what I need for mother, so I am going to take it!”

Surprisingly, Mrs. Crinkle stopped her chattering the moment she began ascending the stairs. From the back of the group, she can hear someone talking about their mother, but she doesn't bother to get the details. A devilish grin spreads across her face as she swells, turning into a scantily clad wolf once more. She bounds up the stairs, bumping her allies out of the way, and emerges into the room.

"Someone's got mommy issues! Heehee!" She crows in her deep, harsh wolf-voice, as she gives the couch-lady a taunting glare.

◆ Rage, ◆ Stride, ◆ Stride

Hero Point with T-Shirt reroll hit: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 2 = 21

Desmond drops into a lower stance and quickly moves out towards the middle of the room. He wanted to keep them from getting behind Zac and allow the others space to maneuver. The half-orc raises his shield to prepare for the woman's reaction.

◆ Wolf stance
◆ Move
◆ Raise Shield

Desmond and Mrs. Crinke both wolf out in their own ways, while Zac moves in and takes a swing at the shisk. The blade barely makes it past the chairs, but it scores a hit.

Round 1 - bolded may go

Mas Radikal
Creature

Bertram, taken aback at the talk of 'mother' and Mrs. Crinkle's antics started off on the back foot, but quickly managed to conjure up a gemstone to float around the older woman's head before she ran off into combat. Then, he focused on setting up a protective ward around himself and his allies.

Casting Shattering Gem on Mrs. Crinkle, and then using my focus spell to put up a Protective Ward (emanation on the slides)

Bertran summons a gem to protect the barbarian, then adds some defense for all nearby allies.

The shisk steps toward Zac, feints* and stabs at him with the spikes on her arms.

Quills: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
Piercing Damage: 1d6 + 7 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 7 + (5, 5) = 22

* Not an actual feint, it's a special attack called Trick Attack (no relation to the Starfinder version) and has no conditions for use.

Mas aims force bolts at the Shish yelling "Vis Fulmina!"

◆◆◆Force: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1, 4) + 3 = 12

Botting Razzm

Razzm lumbers toward the shisk and slams his shield into her.

Shield Bash: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

It hits, and some of the enemy's quills break off into him.

Piercing Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (7, 5) = 12
Basic Reflex Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Mas hurls a trio of force bolts at the shisk.

The other creature steps slightly closer to the Pathfinders and casts a spell.

Burning Hands, Fire Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6
Basic DC 17 Reflex save

Bertram concentrated, widening his shielding ward and then moving in to support all of his teammates. Another few words had a translucent blue shield spinning around himself.

Sustained Protective ward (+1 status bonus to AC to all int eh emanation), moved, cast Shield

Note for after this fight: We do want to finish clearing the tower, since our PCs can't tell if they've found enough of the research fragments to be useful. Hopefully this fight doesn't auto-end the scenario.

"Who's your Mommy? And your Daddy?" Mrs. Big Bad Wolf bellows as she lopes to the spiky lady's side and tries to trip her with a yanking bite to the knee.

Bite, Trip vs. Purple: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Now, a wise, calm person would realize that keeping this one alive so they could give information about their mother would be useful. However, Mrs. Crinkle's wisdom is very much in doubt, and she is certainly not calm. She goes in for a mouthful of spiky bits.

Bite, MAP, vs. ?Prone Purple: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Piercing damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

◆ Stride, ◆ Trip, ◆ Strike

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Desmond had started to try and bandage one of Zac's stab wounds when the fire distracts him. He rolls under it and towards the creature, using his shield to divert the blast away entirely. Unfortunately, he also manages to catch Zac's wound and tear it slightly more open.

"Ugh, sorry Zac. I'll patch that up soon! But seems like I should hold off this one for now!" He turns to the creature who cast the spell and sweeps its legs from under it.

Battle Medicine on Zac (DC15): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Yeesh, sorry Zac.

Trip vs Creature's Reflex DC (wolf stance): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27

hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Edit: Crit, so 9X2=18. and the Glaive does have deadly d8 deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 4

As long as you don't manage to blow up the building, you can continue to explore after the fight.

Desmond avoids the flames, but finds an unintended blood vessel while trying to heal Zac. He does drop the caster to the ground, so it's probably a net positive.

Spiky lady does fall as well, but manages to roll in such a way to keep out of Mrs. Crinkle's toothy maw.

Bertram keeps his protections up for both himself and the team.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Zac gets a faceful of fire, but avenges himself by landing two amazing blows on the shisk. (AC ≤ 21.) Her body goes limp. You can retake your third action.

Deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Will give Razzm 12 hours or so to post before botting.

"Vis Fulmina!" Mas fires force bolts towards the creature.
◆◆◆Force: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2, 2) + 3 = 11

My third action would be to step, so the creature is within my 10 foot reach weapon.

Razzm moves in and bonks the spellcaster.

Shield Bash: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Shield Bash: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 11 - 5 = 14
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The creature falls to the ground.

You obtain things from the creatures: a hand crossbow, +1 handwraps of mighty blows, a kukri (in a gem-inlaid scabbard), an invisibility potion, a spellbook, and thieves’ tools. Additionally, the shisk was carrying some notes that appear to be in Alyreha's handwriting.

Desmond sits both Zac and Razzm down to properly tend to their wounds now that they were trying to dodge attacks and spells.

Treat Wounds on Zac and Razzm (DC20): 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 1 = 31
Healing (medic): 4d8 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (6, 4, 5, 4) + 10 + 5 = 34

Mrs. Crinkle shrinks down to her normal size and begins bundling herself back into that ridiculous sweater dress. "Whoooeeeee! Did you see the look on her face when she fell on her bum?! Heehee! Methinks she broke her coccyx there, eh? Heehee! --Ope! Don't let Bertram's book eat Alyreha's papers! Here, booky. Have this instead. It's super yummy! Heehee!" She produces another scrap of parchment with her handwriting on it that fell from her dress when she stretched it out moments ago.

Once she's fed the book, she nonchalantly nabs the potion of invisibility and tucks it into a fold in her dress. If anyone seems to notice, she gives them an innocent smile before bustling around, looking for (you guessed it): "Is there a chamber pot up here? Don't tell me Alyreha didn't think to put one at the top of such a long stairwell. Who wants to have to descend that far in a hurry when they've gotta go right now?"

"Oh! May I see that spellbook?" says a shocked Mas, not imagining to find such a thing.

"Spellbook? Yes, please!"

Bertram dropped the warding spell he was holding to rush over to Mas' side and begin looking at the spellbook. Perhaps there were a few that he could copy over to his own. He could always use a few more spells.

Meanwhile, his book tried several times to eat the random papers, finally settling for the piece pf paper that Mrs. Crinkle was holding out. It chewed on it a few times, then spat out the paper and shook itself. Nope. it did not like that one.

Refocusing

The module doesn't mention the contents of the spellbook specifically, but the spells known by the caster are burning hands, grease, magic missile, acid splash, daze, detect magic, produce flame, read aura, shield.

That's a lot that Mas doesn't know

"We'll have time for this later. What's next for us?"

You haven't explored the enchantment or evocation areas yet, or you can just report back to Alyreha.

I don't think we'll be done by Monday, but I am confident enough in your ability to handle what's left that I'm reporting full rewards. I can update that if you decide to scarper now.

"If this really wsa all of the intruders, then I bet we can finish off the last two areas before reporting back. The more info we can find for Alyreha, the better chances she can reconstruct what happened to her and fully reverse it. So, which one's closest?"

Let's head for the closest room and hope no more major enemy fights are there.

"All righty kids, since there's no chamber pot up here, it's time to head downstairs at a swift clip. March-two-three-four! Heehee!" Mrs. Crinkle starts heading downstairs, calling back over her shoulder: "We gotta check the rest of the house to find all her research scraps. And chamberpots! Heehee!"

I vote to clear all areas.

Desmond nods and packs up his medkit, satisfied with his work. "Let's go find the rest of these scraps so we can get out of here."

The nearest unexplored room is the one full of pedestals.

The central area of this room has pedestals with runes corresponding to acid, cold, fire, and electricity, with central runes placed for sonic and force. The walls of the larger portion of the room each have their own extravagant mural representing one of the four elements.

The northern wall is covered by the image of an enormous caldera of an unknown volcano, a vast lake of lava that almost seems to glow intensely. The southern wall displays a vast coral reef, and the light from the ocean’s surface almost seems to dance. The eastern wall displays a yawning cave, and the depths seem almost real. The western wall displays a fierce tornado tearing through an open field. The image somehow perfectly captures the fury of the intense winds. The western section of the floor portrays beams and circles along with complex equations, while the eastern section of the floor is covered in sine waves and elaborate musical notation. The ceiling above is painted with the four elements all blending, and the center piece is a brightly glowing evocation rune, crackling with energy.

As soon as the Pathfinders enter the room, a rune glows and a number of elemental creatures appear before you.

Bertram immediately casts his protective ward spell around the group and moved to stay just behind Razzm.

Will move to right behind where Razzm Tazzm ends up to keep the lizard covered with the shield ward for the first round. Everyone in the emanation gets +1 status bonus to AC. Will also cast shield on myself if only 1 move action is required.

Bertram brings up defensive magics around the party, especially Razzm, who waits for the opportune moment.

The grey creature surrounds itself in mist, then spes forward and swings an appendage at Zac.

Tentacle: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 1 = 25
Bludgeoning Damage: 2d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 8) + 4 + 1 = 16

"Hey! I just fixed that!" Desmond rushes between one of the creatures and Zac, trying to slap away the tentacles with his hands. The he turns to fix Zac's wounds once more.

Mas draws power from a ring he'd prepared earlier in the day and uses the energy obtained to power one more force bolt spell which he aims at grey.

◇Drain Bonded Item
◆◆◆force: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4, 4) + 3 = 14

Desmond takes a pair of swings at the blue creature - one of which clearly struck a vital spot, the other he was sure would hit but did not - before healing his ally.

Mas hurls bolds of force using the power from his ring.

Razzm shakes himself as if he has been slumbering for far too long (So so sorry!) and moves to flank Green (this movement will provoke from Green if it has an AoO); then he bashes at it with both of his shields.

Stride

Double Slice

+1 Shield Boss vs. flanked AC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

P dmg: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Bertram concentrated on expanding his aura of protection, then reached out and laid a hand on Mrs. Crinkle's arm. The skin took on the form of the same green gem hue as Bert's spellbook, and seemed hard as stone, while still maintaining the flexibility of flesh.

Concentrating to increase radious of shield ward, then casting Shielded Arm on Mrs. Crinkle

"Oooo! Thanks, sweetie!" Mrs. Crinkly Wolf winks and blows a kiss at Bertram. <shudder>

Flat Check DC 5: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Roused to action, Razzm circles around the green creature and squashes it between his shields.

Bertram maintains his protections.

Bludgeoning Damage: 2d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8, 1) + 4 + 1 = 14
DC 5 Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Bad news for her, especially since I don't have GM Core yet and would be unlikely to change in the middle of a game anyway, so the grapple is automatically successful!

While Bertram's arm prevents the blow from being worse, she is still grappled. It then gives her a big hug.

Constrict, Bludgeoning Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Basic Fortitude DC 21

The blue creature goes after Zac and Desmond before backing away.

Desmond steps forward into the breech to support Rassm, then drops into a tripping stance and tries to overturn the grey creature.

Trip vs Grey: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10

◆ Step to Flank

Razzm moves again to flank Grey and then bashes it with his two shields.

Basic Fortitude DC 21: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

"Hug too tight! Bad hug! Back off!" Mrs. Wolfy's eye's bug out as her words are squeeeezed out of her. She thrashes and writhes, aiming to get herself some much-needed personal space.

Escape: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Escape, MAP: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

She finishes off with a vigorous shake (thank goodness she's not wet, or everyone else would be too) and raises her fancy super-awesome arm with a glare and a growl.

◆ Escape, ◆ Escape, ◆ Raise a Shield
