[Outpost VIII] PFS 1 #7-11 Ancient's Anguish by GM 7thGate (Inactive)

"Greetings, I am Andirke, the Risen" he said in Ancient Osiriani.

"Many things have changed within the Scarab Sage faction over the years" he added, updating Sinuhotep with what he knew.

sense motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Koani does not notice anything in particular and stays quiet for now.

"Truly, many things have changed. Some, I have divined with magic, some are new.

"Ever since I left my beloved Osirion, everything I have done has had a singular purpose: To recreate the order of the Jeweled Sages. What you have told me means that I can finally return home and rejoin the order. However, before I can leave, I need your help. My immortality also carries a curse, and I cannot leave unless a hateful creature that put the curse on me is destroyed. The question is: Will you slay this creature for me, set me free, and support my endeavor to rejoin the Jeweled Sages?”

Sense motive 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

Ash noticed the sage’s slight disappointment at the groups’ answers.

”Im sure we’d be willing to help you. What sort of creature put this malady on you?”

“I found evidence of a genie cult that resided here thousands of years before I arrived. It seems the genie’s name was Surma, and it her curse that keeps me here. Upon her death, she turned into a pitiful aghash div, but make no mistake: she is far more powerful than most of her kind.”

DC 14 Knowledge:Planes check to ID Aghash Divs, one piece of knowledge + 1 for every 5 above the DC.

The mind of the man has been spining with all the infirmation given while their interlocutor lack in modern history, the trove of knowledge they could obtain from someone who lived that much in the past has great potential .... or not, still then there is the catch.. . a curse, and a Div. of course

Kn Plane / Investigative Mind: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (16) + 33 = 49
49 - 14 = 35 / 5 +1 = 8 questions
Energy Resistance, Energy Immunity, Special Attack, Special Ability, DR, Special Defense, Spell-like Abilities, SR

Immune to Fire/Poison, Resist Acid 10/Resist Eleictricity 10. SR 15.

Cursed Gaze (Su)
Aghash’s choice: confused for 1 round, shaken for 1 round, stunned for 1 round, or deals 1d4 points of damage, 30 feet, Fortitude DC 16 negates. Any creature under the effects of protection from evil is immune to an aghash’s gaze. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Sandstorm (Su)
Once per day, as a full-round action, an aghash can create a temporary sandstorm. This storm has a radius of 100 feet centered on the aghash and lasts for 1 minute per Hit Die the aghash possesses (typically 5). This functions as a sandstorm.

Spell-Like Abilities (CL 6th; concentration +10)

At will—bestow curse (DC 16), detect good, detect magic, dimension door, minor image (DC 15), spectral hand
1/day—suggestion (DC 16), summon (level 3, 1d2 dorus 25%)

In Combat If given a choice between attacking two different opponents, an aghash always chooses the most physically becoming foe. Such is their loathing—or, perhaps, jealousy—that an aghash might stalk attractive foes, delighting in afflicting them with curses that sap their Charisma or otherwise undermines their charm.

Is that an evil outsider?
"Oh, she sounds like a demon that I swear to fight against. As a paladin I would like to help you."

Koani pats Blarg and agrees to help.

"That's partially why Elu is send here for. We will help you."
Elu will drinks Greater Invisibility before we initiate the fight.

Appaatently the post got cut short . sorry . As Elu has requested a lot of the things , Would like to now . for the 5 questions, SR, Lowest save , the next lowest save, how tough is its touch AC in comaprison to regular AC, ( if its better or worse ) and if generally are they able to prevent ragend attacks

Right before sage summoning the div, Elise will use her shinny wayfinder to cast Protection from evil to Andrike and her wand of Bless Weapon on her Scimitar. Then she will activate her divine bond (Holy), and cast divine favor.

Lowest save: fort, next lowest Reflex. SR 15, Touch AC 12, AC 18, no special abilitites to prevent ranged attacks other than sandstorm and its DR/immunities/resists.

"Thank you. Once I invoke her, she should reveal herself quickly. Be ready."

Sinuhotep dismisses the wall of sound and moves to the entrance of the chambers. As he passes through the door, he visibly strains and falls to his knees, yelling out "You ugly old wretch, reveal yourself!"

You have 2 rounds until Surma arrives. Go ahead any place yourselves wherever you want on the map.

[ooc] Drink Contugen and Extract of flying on those two rounds [/ood]

Could someone place Ash anywhere, preferably close to Elise? Thanks.

Ash casts Freedom of Movement on the paladin and casts Haste on the group, just before the demonish thing appears.

Most of us are staying behind the paladin and around the Elu for her Magic Circle against Evil, and you should be fine staying where you are, since the alternative would be getting into the room.
Also, Elu already gave everyone Freedom of Movement using the wand we found earlier, so you can use your round of time to cast something else if you want. Thanks for the Haste!

"Sounds like a foe worth slaying!" Andirke said, pulling out a wand.

Not sure if i need another casting of Mage armor,. If so, can i get it please?

Not sure if i need another casting of Mage armor,. If so, can i get it please?

Sure thing

And your AC should be 10 + 2 DEX + 6 WIS + 2 monk + 4 Mage Armor + 4 Shield + 4 Barkskin + 1 Haste= 10 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 33 now, as I promised in the discussion way back.

I am not sure if I am able to do everything I mentioned above. If not, Elise will activate her divine bond and divine favor.

That's fine for the buff spells.

Everyone hears the sound of a howling wind as Surma appears in a whirl of sand on top of one of the 50 foot tall columns of rock, flanked by a large Earth Elemental and a Huge Air Elemental.

"Elu thought you would know better where to summon it, so people can start beating it right away." Elu complains to Sinuhotep as she 5ft step fly above Ash, firing one shot at Surma then 3 shots at Air Elemental.

Kn Plane, Air elemental: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (14) + 33 = 47Investigative Mind: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (12) + 33 = 45

DR, elemental resistance, immunity, special attack, special abilities for both please. If there're extra questions then what's their favorite ice cream flavor

Greater Invisibility, PS, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, Haste
Base Flat-Foot vs Surma: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 2 = 36
Cold Iron Bullet + 5d6 Acid Bomb: 1d6 + 13 + 5d6 ⇒ (5) + 13 + (3, 1, 2, 2, 6) = 32

---switching target, trigger PBS---

Rapid Shot Flat-Foot TOUCH vs air: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 2 = 28

BAB-5 Flat-Foot TOUCH vs air: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 2 = 23
Cold Iron Bullet + 5d6 Acid Bomb: 1d6 + 14 + 5d6 ⇒ (4) + 14 + (1, 5, 4, 3, 3) = 34
Clustered Shot so only take DR once, so 36 + 36 + 34 = 106 minus DR dmg to air elemental.

Confirmation, vs Surma flat-foot AC: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 2 = 26
x3 crit: 2d6 + 13 + 13 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 13 + 13 + (6, 6) = 48 the last 2d6 is the crit-able acid bomb base damage

Surma takes a solid hit, then the Air Elemental is blown away in a torrent of acid.

DR 5/-, Earth Glide, Earth Mastery (+1 hit/damage vs. targets on the ground, -4 vs. those in the air). Has Greater Bull Rush/tremorsense/darkvision, no resistances or immunities other than elemental traits (Immune to Bleed, Paralysis, Poison, Sleep, Stunning, Critical Hits, Flanking and Precision Damage). Most members of the species have never had ice cream and lack a preference, but at least one has expressed a fondness for Rocky Road due to the name.

Is the +2 in the attack rolls from invisibility, and do you have anything that removes/bypasses soft cover from the Air Elemental?

+2 from Greater Invisibility / invisible condition. And no Elu have nothing to remove the soft cover penalty, best Elu can do is to remove the soft cover itself with 3 shots :p

Elu wonder if the Earth Elemental will like JOE DIRT: Trüffel Custard + Oreo® Cookies + Marshmallow + Cocoa Powder....

Surma has see invisibility up, which is just enough for the confirmation to miss with soft cover. -10 damage from 10 Acid Resist.

Surma takes a direct hit, but the Air elemental gets in the way just enough to stop it from being a head shot.

Blarg waits.

The arrow strikes Surma but fails to penetrate her flesh.

Surma casts a spell and points next to Elu. A thick green fog materializes around all of the pathfinders, stinking incredibly.

Stinking cloud, DC 17 fort save vs. poison or be nauseated while in the could and 1d4+1 rounds after. Creatures viewed through 5 feet of the cloud have concealment, creatures further away have total concealment.

Andirke started to feel his lunch come up, but was able to fight it back as he got out of the cloud, A pair of wings sprouted from his back as he started to fly out of the area. Once he was clear, he sent an adamantine arrow directly at Surma,

Perfect strike: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 231d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Perfect strike: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 261d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Using reroll for having a physical copy of the PC Folio. 15' Off the ground (Tengu Wings).

Ppl close to Elu will benefit from circle against evil

Thhe man stands in the middle of the cloudd and look around un phzed

Posison inmunity as per class feature

He flies up of the truing to get out of the snmooke and towards the back of the room

He will try to fly as up as he can where i placed him i set distance spetn as if lifting 20 ft, if this is not possible he'll get as up as he can with the hasted flying speed[

Lets see if you can actually feel something

Mischance 20%: 1d100 ⇒ 80
Force bomb: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 2 + 1 = 305d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 6, 4, 1, 2) + 9 = 23

Asidt the damage, he needs to do a reflex DC 24 or fall prone

Duende and Andirke, you can fly up out of the cloud, but Surma's outside on the pillar, so you would need to fly out instead of in. If you move into the chamber with Sinuhotep, the walls will block you.

Reflex: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17

Elise barely manages to land her strike, but it surges with holy power and slices a large chunk out of Surma.

Surma is blasted down by the force bomb, and barely hit by Andirke's arrow, which partially penetrates her flesh. DR 5/Good or Cold Iron

Ashwell is up!

Fort 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Ash is caught unawares by the toxic cloud. He coughs and gags as he breathes deeply. He attempts to use his love action to exit the cloud.

Ashwell Nauseated: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The Earth Elemental tries to defend its mistress by shoving Elise out of the way.

Bull Rush, Earth Mastery: 1d20 + 20 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 20 - 4 = 36

It flings her backwards off the cliff, but Elise's wings keep her aloft.

The Bold are up! Andirke and Duende, I also need to you fix your positioning. You're inside the sages chambers, but Surma is outside on the pillar. Based on your actions, I think you wanted to go outside to get free of the cloud to attack her. Ashwell, did you head inside or outside?

Elu flies next to Elise and shoots at the earth elemental

37 damage to Earth elemental before DR

while the Hedgehog climb out of the pouch and climbs on the paladin, readying an action to teleport her with Flickering Step to be next to Surma.

I did not update my CMD, it would be 10+10bab+4str+2dex+1haste=27, probably not getting 15 ft away

Adjusted positioning for higher CMD.

A large chunk is blown out of the elemental. Surma stands, and attempts to cast Dimension Door to reach a safer position.

Will Save, Anchoring Aura: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32

Elise, pausing since I assume you will probably want to immediate action Dimensional Anchor her with Anchoring Aura, SR 15.

Yes, I would like to do so. Quick reminder anchoring aura is Su ablility and SR don't apply to it.

hit: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 5 = 37
"Demon, you can't flee from me!"

I just realized I skipped Koani rather quickly, apologies for that. Since Surma didn't really do anything though, you can go ahead with your action if she's still alive and we'll keep you in the initiative order.

Surma's attempt to flee is blocked by divine power as Elise locks her to this space.

Surma is torn apart by the flurry of holy strikes, with enough spare to finish the elemental. Freed from the curse, Sinuhotep stands, and dispels the Stinking Cloud. "Thank you for your assistance. I have been bound to that fiend for thousands of years, and finally I am free. I will remember this boon, and will gladly help rejoin and rebuild the Scarab Sages."

I did not smite the earth element, so maybe there will be misses and dmg will -10 for each landed hit. Also my damages toward the elemental may not bypass DR. And I can not crit on it.

Ash moved outside to get away from the nauseating mist.

I did not smite the earth element, so maybe there will be misses and dmg will -10 for each landed hit. Also my damages toward the elemental may not bypass DR. And I can not crit on it.

True, however I also realized I missed the splash damage from the force bomb earlier, so it kills.

"Long May The Sun Shine!"

"Now that you are no longer bound to this div, will this compromise your......longevity?" Elu ask the sage.

"No. My transformation used her artifact and gave her a hold over me, but was not my phylactery. Now that I am free, I will remain."
