[PFS1] Redelia's Betrayal in the Bones (Inactive)

Game Master Redelia

The pile of bones does nothing, waiting for instructions.

The entire party is up.

Omrax pauses a moment when there is no response from either the golem or its vile master.

Doth thou contemplate repentance?

Delaying to let party move in before selecting attack on either the demon or pile of bones.

Oops, I missed something on Thurl's turn. Even though he was staggered, his wounds heal a little.

Thurl -154 HP

"It seems your grotesque quest for power has left you with a severe weakness, fiend!" Kahwen says when the counter attack he had braced himself for is not forthcoming.

He decides that the best defense is messing the other guy up so much that he can't strike back, especially with Omrax distracting Thurl even more.

Man...those are some terrible rolls. If the first one hits I'll also apply the Disoriented Debilitating injury, so he gets -2 to attack rolls for 1 round and a -6 to attack rolls against Kahwen.

With Thurl completely surrounded and in bad shape, Jaervahn focuses his attacks on the giant bone creature. He launces a volley of arrows...

Yikes! Terrible rolls there, too!

Svetlana rushes the room and on sighting Thurl, gets right into the joys of purging the heretic - "Time for judgment - you are to be measured!"

DC 19 Will for Half, and not dazed

Omrax smiles as the ordered wrath beats downward

”Now we shall see thy true colors. “

will full attack Thune (or bones) depending on the results of above

Resolving Svetlana's turn first, since it's the end of the previous round

Svetlana's smite smashes into Thurl, doing significant damage.

The golem's immunity to magic means it shrugs off the ill wishes of the axiomites.

At caster level 9, the axiomites can't possibly get through Thurl's spell resistance.

One of Kahwen's attacks hits, but only because Thurl is overwhelmed with pain.

Thurl -246 HP

Omrax, Galandaro, and Helgar are up. (so is Muhlia, but I'll wait until more of you go)

Omrax continues to pound on the demon.

We shall relieve you of thy pain. And relieve the world of thy presence.

All bypass DR, if he drops (unlikely) then switch to golem

Omrax's first two mighty blows take down Thurl.

I need to do some research on whether smite works on the golem or not.

Galandaro and Helgar are up, although they need to remember the golem is immune to almost all magic.

Omrax, smite does not work on the golem. Can you please keep those same rolls for the last not crossed out attack but translate what that attack on the golem would have been?

no smite and assuming not evil outsider, the attack roll drops by 9 and damage drops by 27 ( so attack hits AC 27 (25 without flank) and 29 damage) - DR applies. The last roll was mat-1.

Helgar dashes up and drops a moveable pit under the golem. It might be immune to magic but it is not immune to gravity!

Roaming Pit, SR=NO, Reflex save DC 23 or fall in the pit, 30 foot fall: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1) = 5

Nice! Golems are not my thing

Knowing the golem is resistant to magic Galandaro shoots it with his Sonic Exploit to damage it... Exploit Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 11 + 1 = 26...DMG: 7d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2, 4, 3, 4, 5, 3) + 5 + 1 = 32 DC 22 Fort to save for half damage

reflex save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

The golem falls into the pit.

At this point, the golem has no way of harming you, so you can safely plink away until it's dead. I'm calling the fight; it would just be tedious.

Having dealt with Thurl and the golem he constructed, you able to search the room. You find the remaining three rune plates. Taking the plates and Borsaget's skull, you are able to return to Kolm Durrendar. He is aghast to learn of the damage, but he and various priests and servants of Magrim quickly begin to discuss with Borsaget how best to restore the ossuary. You are warmly thanked for your help and sent back to Ambrus Valsin. He is surprised to learn of Muhlia's reform, but agrees to see if there is something helpful she can do.

Muhlia sends you a missive a few weeks later that indicates the glabrezu
Koth’Vaul has dangerous plans of his own that are nearing completion—a deadly threat that only a group of powerful Pathfinders like you might confront!

=====================THE END=============================

”By the Inheritor! We have achieved a great victory today friends. However it would seem evil designs are forming as fast as we can knock them down.“

"Huzzah!" Kahwen cries, brandishing his blade over his head as the golem's threat is ended and it falls into a heap of bones at the bottom of the pit.

"But we'll always be there to knock them down, Friend Omrax!" he declares.

"Yes, a blight removed" Svetlana smiles as she cleans off her blade "that creature's foul practices and awful presence no longer trouble the world, and we are all better off because of it"

"Good job friends. It appears our mission is a success. We should record this for future reference in case other agents come across these foes. I wonder if this golem is salvageable for display in the Blakros museum...If we are done here let me know so I can Teleport us away from possible dangers."

Svetlana turns to the Axiomote army "Your work here is done, I shall call again if you are needed" she turns to Galandro, "Yes a safe transport out of this area would be ideal"

Later

Svetlana turns to Omrax, the Hellknight looks at the Paladin with a set and determined stare.

"I think we both share the same ideals about what we would like to see in the world. Peace. Order. Our methods differ, but we both agree that they must be within the rule of law and order, and that chaos and evil have no place in our realms. Your sword and my chains are different tools, yet both are forged for the same purpose: to shield the innocent, to punish the wicked, and to bind ourselves to a higher calling. Where you are the radiant light, I am the unyielding wall, both necessary, both sworn. Should you find yourself seeking additional steel to drive some great evil from the land in future, I invite you to send word to me in Citadel Enferac. You will not be denied support" she taps her mailed fist to her heart in a show of respect to the fellow warrior.

I wanted to summon in a horde of Erinyes as a great cinematic, but refrained for Omrax sake :p

Was the ending suggesting there was a follow on scenario?

Omrax appreciates the restraint, but could have role played through it. Like the time he was in a party with 5 pirate swashbucklers. :)

”Alas, you speak true, Lady Svetlana. There is far too much chaos and evil in this world and stalwart allies to thwart it are always welcome in this struggle. “

Was the ending suggesting there was a follow on scenario?

Yep, 10-09 The Rasping Rebirth. Do I sense interest in continuing on with that scenario with the same group?

An enthusiastic yes from my part. :)

Galandaro will not be able to join for the Rasping Rebirth- already played it. Good Luck.

I would be interested. I always like to stick with a good group!

Very keen!
