TOZ's Last Call (Inactive)

Game Master TriOmegaZero

Tamerius follows, his red raven following.

With the huge Saurian leading the way precluding stealth, Flyn will follow, keeping his eyes alert for danger and any signs of tracks…

Perception: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (6) + 29 = 35
Survival (Tracking): 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 3 = 41

Rurat leads the way through the undisturbed jungle, his massive frame easily pushing through the foliage of the game trail. Flyn notices a few old tracks left among the brush that appear to be from a Small sized humanoid.

After perhaps twenty minutes, an eerie mist settles heavy on the ground, as the lush jungle gives way to a desolate killing field. Enormous bones from countless creatures litter the barren field. A sulfuric stench rises from pits of a bubbly, black substance. On the far side of the clearing looms a stone structure—a bleak, gray shadow in a tomb of emerald trees.

"This is where we will find our prey." Rurat rumbles in a low tone.

"What are we hunting, exactly, O Mighty One?" Quenly asks Rurat doing his best to sound reverent in the discordant voice that he rarely uses.

"We may want a moment or two to prepare for battle."

Flyn nods in agreement with Quenly. He activates his adaptation ability (10-minute increment of +2 Natural Armor) and taps himself with his mage armor wand (+4), as he awaits an answer to Quenly’s query on just what type of mantis they hunt…

Active AC: 35 / FF 26 / T 33

"Heed me well, the mantis prowl this field unseen. They may have already sensed us here and begun to stalk. Prepare quickly."

"Long have me and mine battled the brood of the Ghost Mantis. They ambush my pack and steal into nests. Aid me in slaying them and I will grant you safe passage in my domain." Walking down the empty air like a staircase, he waits for your answer.

"Come then. I will lead you to the accursed temple. Be prepared, for the spawn hide in the nothingness and spring upon prey unseen." Rurat marches forth, moving to what you see appears to be a faint game trail, pushing aside the plant growth that blocks your way.

Flyn wonders just how big these creatures be if they can take on the likes of a huge Saurian…he tries to recall what he might remember about a Ghost Mantis…

(All my knowledge checks are identical)
Knowledge (All) w/ Inspiration: 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (17) + 7 + (1) = 25

…and he’s not sure…

Doubt that reveals anything but, if so, I’d like AC, then DR

Flyn draws his bow and attaches his weapon cord to his left wrist and slowly moves towards the temple, as quietly as he can and using such cover as he finds, eyes alert for any signs of foe, traps, or tracks…

Stealth: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (8) + 32 = 40
Perception: 1d10 + 29 ⇒ (10) + 29 = 39
Survival (Tracking): 1d10 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 3 = 32

"I will hide us kobolds good, O Mighty One, but you are too big! When foolish Mantis try to surprise you, we will surprise them instead!"

Quenly calls his dragon close to him, to ensure that the creature's senses warn him and his allies of approaching unseen enemies. Quenly then warps the shadow-stuff around him, causing the ground to ripple, and dome of earth to surround the kobold-pathfinders.

Quenly casts a Shadow Evocation to mimic Tiny Hut around the pathfinders. He'll telepathically call them close if they're separated, but a 20' radius hemisphere should be plenty of area. The hut will allow the party to see out and attack out, but we can't be seen whilst inside and the hut is opaque from the outside. Party members (except Quenly) can come and go from the hut as they please.

The elven sage then bolsters his own defences with further spells. Shield of Faith, Displacement, Bulls Strength.

"Hide if you must. I will go to draw them out." Rurat steps into the open, air walking to stand above the party.

Map updated!

GM: Since Rurat is on the western edge of the map, does that mean that’s the direction he’ll be luring them from? Will adjust Flyn’s position on the map depending on the answer…

Flyn tries to find an ambush location with good LOS and concealment…and then keeps a wary eye out for the coming of their prey…

Stealth: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (8) + 32 = 40
Perception: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (8) + 29 = 37

Active AC: 35 / FF 26 / T 33

Yep, party is on the left side, temple is on the right. The field has no cover, so Flyn won't be able to Stealth for long. You can see that the black spaces are pits of boiling tar.

Tamerius stands next to Flyn, weapon ready.

His raven, flying invisible several feet behind him.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

Tad follows some steps behind, taking cover in the shadow of your saurian ally.

Rurat is only five feet above, so you can easily move under him if you wish.

"Too far away for the hut trick" Quenly does his best to imitate a kobold's speech patterns.

"So let's close in on the ruin quickly!"

Revised list of spells so far: bulls strength, shield of faith, then blessing of fervour.

Flyn's got Hide in Plain Sight from Shadowdancer, so he'll only need dim light to Stealth. Quenly can provide dim light if the ambient conditions don't fit ;)

The sunlight shines down on the killing field, where nothing moves. "We are hunted." Rurat growls, rage bubbling in his low tone.

32 Quenly

27 Rurat
16 Tad
6 Tamerius

If you have the ability to act in the surprise round, you do get to take that action as well!

Quenly takes the AC and attack boost from Blessing of Fervour.

"We will hunt the hunters" Quenly replies.

The elf gestures. Pockets of shadow across the plain expand, then recede, leaving behind 1d3 ⇒ 2 small, vaguely humanoid creatures seemingly composed of the substance of the ground itself. The elementals begin to search for the unseen prey...

Quenly casts Tenebrous Shadow Conjuration mimicking Summon Monster III, creating 2 shadowstuff Small Earth Elementals. The elementals have 60' Tremorsense and the Summoning compels them to attack enemies - so either they detect enemies already and will fight (even if they don't do any damage) or they'll help pinpoint the enemy at least.

The shadows cover Quenly completely, and he vanishes from view.

Quickened Vanish.

Claw on Quenly: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (18) + 22 = 40
Claw Damage: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (6, 2) + 15 = 23

As Quenly begins his spell, a shimmer splits the air, a massive pale mantis claw cleaving through space to strike out and into the elf, tearing hard at his defenses! The claw attempts to latch onto him, but finds no purchase thanks to the wards in place. As swiftly as it appeared, the claw retracts into nothingness, the tear in the air dissipating in an instant.

I believe that will be a Concentration DC33 plus spell level to keep the summoning successful. The rest of the party is up! Attack came from the starred square.

concentration: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37 Looks like that fails by 1 point :o

Where did that come from?! Cast your spells defensively!

Flyn murmurs to Tamerius, ”What devilry is this? If they were invisible, either all of the creature would’ve been revealed in the attack or none of it would…”

An alert Fin readies his bow to fire at this strange enemy if any appear, whether it shows itself in full or whether it be just a claw…

Active AC: 35 / FF 26 / T 33

Claw on Rurat: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23

With a roar of age, Rurat circles around the party towards the spot where the claw appeared. As Flyn watches, a second claw carves through empty space to lash out at the saurian! It scrapes off the armored scales, unable to gain purchase. The claw retracts back to whence it came, the field quiet save for Rurats rage. But not before Flyn manages to strike with an arrow!

32 Quenly (Damage: 23)

The party is up again. That natural 1 certainly didn't help things progress.

Tad casts a blessing on the party, ensuring he is careful to defend himself from surprise claws!

Blessing of Fervor on the party, his concentration succeeds on a 1. Quenly is unfortunately not able to be targeted.

The shimmering reappears to the north, as a massive pale mantis appears from wherever it was before. It lashes out at Flyn, as Rurat's readied spear strikes back!

Shortspear on Blue: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (13) + 32 = 45
Shortspear Damage: 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (5, 2) + 14 = 21
Claw on Flyn: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (4) + 22 = 26

The huge weapon punches into the creatures body, throwing its aim off from the unexpected blow!

32 Quenly (Damage: 23)

30 Flyn (Blessing of Fervor)
21 Red (Damage: 34)

Okay, good ol' Rurat really helping out! Party is up, Knowledge Nature DC30 to learn more of these things.

How many spells were we able to cast before the attack GM? I noted Blessing of Fervour and others here before combat began.

Initiative started as soon as you left the jungle. Anything you cast before that would be in effect. If you see a better choice for Tad's action, we can adjust to that.

Initiative started as soon as you left the jungle. Anything you cast before that would be in effect. If you see a better choice for Tad's action, we can adjust to that.

I think that's just one round of buffing then. Since deciding against Tiny Hut, Quenly's choices would be Blessing of Fervour, and a Quickened Shield of Faith. Then his "round 1" casting would be as above, the Summon followed by a Quickened Vanish after he got hit. Does that work out? Then I might suggest a Holy Smite or a Flame Strike for Tad?

Unfortunately, Tad has no targets on his turn, but a readied action could work.

Quenly grimaces as he uses the power of the eldritch spike in his brain to sift through the knowledge of the ages...

Know.History subbed for Know.Nature DC30: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (14) + 28 = 42

Would like to know resistances and however that space-rending claw special attack works please.

Quenly recognizes these to be some variant of deadly mantis, which are rare enough without being further unique. Sacred to the faith of Achaekek as a blessing from the dark god, they are given sacrifices of humanoid prisoners and livestock as a holy duty. On top of the commonality of being mindless insects (vermin creature type) they have an ability to toss captured prey after grappling and rending with multiple claws. Whatever else they are capable of, Quenly is unsure, as these mantis are markedly different with pale white carapaces and two extra claws on top of their usual pair.

Grab and rend along with a standard action throw once prey is grappled. Quenly can make a Knowledge Planes check to figure out the mechanics of their attack.

know.planes, lore needle: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (4) + 28 = 32 last use of the lore needle for the day.

Based on the party's inability to detect the massive insects, Quenly knows that they were not just invisible. The only other option that would allow hidden predators to hunt prey on the Material plane would be that the mantis are able to cross between the Material and Ethereal planes.

The vermin hunt us from the Ethereal realm! That is why my creature did not detect them. They've no defences save for being effectively mindless, but we must beware of being grabbed by those claws!

Do we all have defences against Grab, pathfinders? Quenly can cast Freedom of Movement if you're worried about it, otherwise he'll go on the offensive with Shadow Evocations or shapechanging.

We do not want to get thrown into the boiling tar pits!

Updating Tad's action to a readied flame strike.

Flame Strike Damage: 15d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 3, 3, 6, 3, 1, 5, 3, 5, 1, 5) = 51
Blue Reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Tad calls down a column of holy fire, but while the insect was clearly not prepared for it, you see that neither the fiery energy nor the boiling tar seem to have any effect. The divine power still manages to damage the monstrosity however.

Tad Concentration: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Forgot the increased spell level making it possible to fail. He did not however!

Sorry, forgot that I hadn't actually acted yet :o

Concerned for Rurat's safety, Quenly reaches out with his magic. "I not let them take hold of you, Mighty One!" he exclaims.

Cast Grace, move and cast Freedom of Movement on Rurat.

Can't fail the Concentration check to cast FoM defensively, and Grace avoids AoOs for movement.

Tamerius Concentration: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Calling on his fell allies, Tamerius summons 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 xill, who immediately begin the transition to the Ethereal plane. Quenly grants Rurat protection from the grasping claws, as Flyn takes down the material mantis with a hail of arrows!

The second mantis steps across the planar divide, lashing out with a single claw!

Claw on Tad: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (12) + 22 = 34
Claw Damage: 2d8 + 15 ⇒ (4, 4) + 15 = 23

Flyn steps back and peels off cold iron specifically at the visible mantis claw holding his amphibious friend…

Assuming since the claw grabbed Tad, that the claw remains visible; if that’s wrong, just count my first attack/damage as a readied action

Tad lets out a pitiful noise between a squeak and a sigh as the attack connects, and then a sigh of relief when he is released. He makes a mental note to thank Flyn later.

Tad casts a spell, and is wreathed in a protective layer of flame (fire shield)

Tad defensively defends himself! Rurat turns on the new threat, stabbing and slamming his massive weapons into it!

Bold still has actions!

Quenly attempts to finish off the ghost mantis. He opens his mouth, and a blast of crackling lightning strikes the gigantic monster!

Can't fail the DC to defensively cast Shadow Evocation Dragon's Breath.

lightning damage: 12d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 6, 6, 6, 6, 3, 6, 1, 5, 5) = 51

Will DC23 to recognise as Shadow spell for 20% damage; and Reflex DC23 for half damage.

Quenly, now visible again, retreats under a casting of Grace.

Mindless critters are not immune to Shadow illusions iirc

If the ghost mantis survives Quenly's blast, the elf commands his conjured dragon to follow up...

Fluttering forwards to keep Quenly's allies out of danger, the little dragon unleashes its own breath weapon.

(Flying) 5' step, then 30' cone breath weapon - this keeps Tad and Rurat out of the AoE.

acid damage: 6d8 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 5, 3, 8) = 33

Will DC22 to recognise the dragon as a Shadow for 20% damage; Ref DC22 for half damage.

Reflex Saves: 2d20 ⇒ (8, 9) = 17

The mantis shrugs off the dragons breath weapon as electricity crackles along its carapace! The xill cease their transfer to the ethereal, moving to engage!

AoO on Xill: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (14) + 22 = 36
Bite Damage: 4d6 + 15 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 3) + 15 = 26

Bite Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Fort Save vs Paralysis: 1d20 ⇒ 19

The swarming outsiders attempt to inject paralysis into the massive insect, but only one manages it, the bite only a minor irritant.

The mantis falls to Flyn's arrows! As the silence falls and stretches onward, the xill cross over to the ethereal plane, reporting back to confirm there are no further lurking monsters.

"The hunt is done. Your safe passage is now guaranteed." Rurat pronounces, before pointing his spear at the stone temple on the far end of the killing field. "Eylysia lairs within the temple there. Our business is now done." With a nod of his wide head, Rurat marches back into the jungle to his herd.

Quenly (Damage: 23)
Flyn
Tad (Damage: 23)

Tad bows to Rurat as he prepares to leave.

Flyn mimics Tad as he also bows to the Saurian as the huge creature nods farewell…

The Elf then nods to his friends and starts towards the temple, moving quietly and warily, in addition to checking for any other tracks that might lead there…

Taking 10:
Stealth: 10 + 32 = 42
Perception: 10 + 29 = 39
Survival (Tracking): 10 + 28 = 38

Flyn spies a number of humanoid bones strewn about the battlefield, partially obscured among the larger dinosaur bones. Some of the remains appear to have weapons and armor nearby, most ripped and torn from the claws and mandibles that pulled them from the unfortunate prey. The temple looms ahead, an ugly gray shadow on the edge of the wasteland.
