Interested. *Raises a glass to Silbeg*

Yep, Chronicle received! Thanks for a good game, everyone!

Day Job (Intimidate - Caravan): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

Aiden looks at the others as the Shining Knight departs. "Who was that masked man?"

I'm at a conference this week. I should be able to post in the late evenings, but it may be sparse or inconsistent. Please bot if needed.

Aiden moves to flank the remaining gremlin. He quickly sizes the creature up and then lashes out with his curved knife. He slashes once at its eyes and then tries to follow up with a deep slice into its ribs.

Studied Target as an immediate action on a flanked foe.
Attack (heroism, ST, flank): 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 23
Damage (ST): 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 = 6

If hit, forgo sneak attack damage for a free dirty trick.
Dirty Trick vs CMD (heroism, ST, flank): 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 15 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 28
Blind for 1 round + 1 per every 5 that exceeds its CMD

Attack (heroism, ST, flank): 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 21
Sneak Attack Damage (ST): 1d4 + 1 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 2 + (1, 1) = 8

Having disabled the beacon, Aiden then charges one of the gremlins. Just as he gets there, he sprays the creature's face with a handful of sand.

Kitsune style to charge and make a dirty trick

Dirty Trick (blind) vs CMD: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
If success, blind for 1 round + 1 per 5 over CMD. Standard action to remove the blindness.

Aiden tries to disable the beacon. If he can do so, he'll stow it into the box he has for it.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 = 18

Something tells me that's not enough...

Aiden takes advantage of Kurgon distracting the creatures to make a break for the beacon. He tries to hold his breath and he passes through the poison gas and circles around to the opposite side from one of the creatures.

Double move; holding his breath

Aiden quickly follows Doran, but uses his magically enhanced speed to overtake him and slip between the crates and shelves towards the beacon.

How high are the shelves(?) next to Aiden? I'm assuming they're shelves, but they could be something else.

I rolled an 11. I forget who wins ties in this edition. Aiden is probably going to head straight for the beacon to disable it.

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

"Khugron, maybe just break it open!" He draws a knife in one hand.

I think you can do a Str check instead

Aiden moves aside to let Khugron get to the door. He pulls out his protective wand to get ready for what's on the other side.

UMD - Shield: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
+4 to AC, reflected in his stat line

"That would help." Aiden digs out his healing wand and tries to use it on himself.

I think Aiden's taken 16 damage.
CLW - UMD (DC20): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
Healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW - UMD (DC20): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
CLW - UMD (DC20): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
Healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW - UMD (DC20): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW - UMD (DC20): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
Healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

That'll do. 62/63 hp and marking off 4 charges

Aiden winces at the acid and tries to wash it off with some water, then wrap it with a bandage.

Reflex Save, if needed (heroism): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17

Aiden laughs at the creature flailing around blindly as he easily avoids the wild lashings. His laughter is cut off as he is splashed with acid, but simply steps around the blinded creature, drawing a second knife. He slices and dices at the creature.

TWF Attack vs blinded (heroism): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 2 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Sneak Attack Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Aiden charges towards the nearest creature, drawing his curved knife. At the last second, he pulls up and kicks out towards it, flinging mud into its face.

Kitsune style lets me Dirty Trick at the end of a charge.
Dirty Trick (Heroism) vs CMD: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 2 = 31
Blindness lasts 1d4 ⇒ 3 rounds + 1 round for every 5 the check exceeds its CMD. It takes a Standard action to remove the condition.

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Moved us back towards the steps.

Aiden uses his wand of longstrider again and ensures that his nets are folded properly before they begin exploring. He readily accepts the Heroism spell from Las and then checks that his other wand is properly stowed and reach to use.

He walks over to one of the bloated remains to try and see what it might have been.

UMD - Longstrider (DC20): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

Knowledge, Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Knowledge, Arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Was Aiden able to capture the orb? Is it able to be captured?

Aiden takes the box and tries to grab the orb and put it inside.

No idea where the orb is in the room. If it's in the summoning circle near the creature, Aiden will do something else.

Boon!: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Whoo! What do I do?

Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

A description of Nggilth-Tsa would be helpful. I assume it's trying to stop us from taking one of the orbs?

Why are all your senses on one head?”

Aiden shrugs. "How beings develops can mostly be by chance or unless the gods intervene. I bet it's actually to sense our food though."

"And what lies beyond the gate?" Aiden leans forward into Nggilth-Tsa space.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25

Aiden takes in the scene. "What in the world is going on here?!" He spots the orb. "Do you know what that is? It's not a plaything. What is the liquid inside it?"

Knowledge, Local: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Intimidate: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

Aiden walks into the reception area. He points to one young man and waves him over. "Young man, we are Pathfinders. It would seem that one of the items you recently sold us has malfunctioned. I am now holding you responsible. I'd like to see a list of recent sales the Arcanamirium's made. You can give me only the most recent to the Society if you wish, and you can get someone who has those records if you don't. But I need them promptly." He interrupts the man's protest and draws his curved knife. "No, don't make excuses. I've asked politely. Don't make me ask impolitely." He takes the tip of the knife and begins slowly carving into the desk, while he stares impatiently at the man.

When the list arrives, he points to the one listing the orb. "That one. Where are the others stored? I would hate for them to malfunction again and kill everyone here."

Knowledge, Arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Can you throw the bags of the Shards or is it something you have to lay out like caltrops?

Aiden bows his head at Zarta. "Of course, Paracountess. Anything you desire." He takes one of the boxes from her.

Aiden lets the others hammer away at the golem. He watches it for a moment and then tries to keep it blind.

Move action to Study Target
Attack (flank, ST): 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d4 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

If that hit, free dirty trick
Dirty Trick vs CMD (flank, ST): 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 26
1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds + 1 round per 5 it exceeds the CMD

Aiden shifts around the golem drawing his curved knife. He lashes out with it, striking at the golem's eyes.

Attack (flank): 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 11 + 2 = 30
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

If that hits, free Dirty Trick
Dirty trick (blind) vs CMD: 1d20 + 15 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 4 + 2 = 34
Blindness lasts 1d4 ⇒ 1 round +1 round for every 5 over the CMD

Attack (flank): 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10
Sneak Attack Damage: 1d4 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + (6, 1) = 14

A creature that is glued to the floor (or unable to fly) can break free by making a DC 17 Strength check or by dealing 15 points of damage to the goo with a slashing weapon. No roll to hit the goo.

Aiden laughs as he sees the golem struggling against the alchemical goo. "That won't hold him for long, so let's make use of it!" He pulls a net off his belt and hurls it at the other golem, getting him tangled in it. The Chelxaian steps back to provide Khugron room to finish them off.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

An entangled creature takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity, can move at only half speed, and cannot charge or run.

At this point, both golems are entangled. The left one can move at half speed, and the right cannot move at all.

Let's go with the right one being stuck.

Aiden steps back and draws out a tanglefoot bag. "Hurry up with that sphere, Knight!" He hurls the bag at the center golem, hoping to keep it in place

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

An entangled creature takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity and must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be glued to the floor, unable to move.

Initiative?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Aiden watches Las and nods at his preparations, making a few notes for himself on things to request from the stores later.

This will be interesting. Looks like we don't have any true magic users. It'll be a game of brute force.

Aiden is following Zarta throughout the exchange with Valsin, seemingly having come with her from her rooms when the alarm started going off. The tall Chelaxian has a noble bearing, but one look at his tools shows you that he's more of a butcher. Knives, a barbed net, and manacles sit within his reach. He glares at Dorian and hisses at him lowly, "Paracountess."

He turns to look at the group, then back to Zarta. "I believe this group can rightly break whatever is causing the trouble, Paracountess." He pulls some wands of his own and tries to activate them right before they enter.

UMD Longstrider: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29
UMD Shield: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

I'm good with a slight delay.

Checking in. Aiden is a dirty trick/debuffer specialist.

I think I'm with Vanessa. As early as we are in the series and scenario, I would probably just drop unless there is a strong guarantee of running all three.

Aiden flicks his wrist and a wand springs out into his hand. He taps it quickly on his leg. Pale green magic snaps up to help protect him. The Chelaxian steps forward, looking for the hidden enemies.

UMD - Wand of Shield: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Aiden's AC is now 21.

Going to be away for the long weekend. I may be able to sneak a post in , but otherwise please bot me as needed.

GM, Aiden isn't on the initiative list. Let me know when he should go.

Aiden looks at the rope moving by itself. "Dumm. Maybe you want to grab that and see what it is."

Knowledge, Arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 LOL. Perfect.

UMD - Shield: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Aiden motions for the others to wait while he sneaks forward. He pulls out a wand, taps himself with it, and replaces it in his spring-loaded wrist sheathe. Then the Paracountess' man slips forward to look around the room and check for any presence.

Aiden inspect the various keyholes, pulling a couple out and then replacing them after inspection. "We appear to be missing two. I don't know if that means it won't work or if perhaps we can't access all the areas." He inspects the machinery for any further traps on the elevator.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Aiden follows the others into the next room. "Nothing but traps and broken and moldy furniture," he remarks to no one in particular.

Can Aiden retcon those bonuses? Or does he need to try again with them? Odds are that I won't roll higher than a 16.

Aiden tries to examine the trap mechanism and determine what it might trigger.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Aiden goes over to where Dumm has found the trap. "Good work. Not so Dumm after all." He snorts and then gets to work trying to disarm the trap.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

While Tabar checks for traps, Aiden watches Spica check the geometric patterns and he traces a few of them with his finger.

Knowledge, Arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
