Anzath's page

Hey y'all, I'm going to try my hand at running a PF2e adventure. The recruitment page is HERE if you're interested.

Ok, thanks for the reminder!

Wait, who is Nadroj?

Still happily waiting to go toe to toe with a vrock!

Hanging tight

Congrats!

Hitting the Rockies after driving across the Great Plains is totally surreal.

I'm shocked they hired you back after all of those totally unfair A-'s.

Have a safe and exciting trip!

Just checking, I'm at a weird angle with the door.

Anzath points her wicked purple blade at the open door and yells out, "Demon! Your dayz on diz vorld are over. I am de Dark Krystal! Konsort of Aragnak de Red, Liberator of de Enslaved Massez! I have kome to rid diz vorld of your wretchednezz. De might and terror of Aragnak knowz no boundz. I have slaughtered your undead minionz, and I vill hunt you down akrozz eternity!"
Intimidate (long shot): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

She then descends the stairs in a blur of movement and ends up against the wall just inside the door.

Swift Studied Target, Standard to Intimidate, Hasted Move 60ft

AC 25 w/ Haste and Cat's Grace. Also 20% miss chance w/ Blur

Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34

Do I smell what the vrock is cooking? I mean, do i see the vrock open the door?

"Good vork," Anzath nods at Aurora and spits on the pile of cleric pulp. She looks over her shoulder and quickly assesses the situation.

"Sh!t."

Anzath uncharacteristically risks her life to give Bedlam a fighting chance. She rushes up the stairs to take out the acolyte not engaged with Lolly. Or maybe, there's two acoloytes on the map but only one in initiative. If there's no acolyte on the lava platform, let me know, because that makes a world of difference.

Kritfisher VS+BS+Haste+Bless: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 29
VS dmg+BS: 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 + 2 = 8 :[

AC is 25 w/ CG and Haste

a big part of me wants to keep running because I feel invested in the character. Maybe if we can get to a big story resolution point in the game i'd be more happier wrapping things up.

The highest lvl I've DMd was 5th level in person until that group fell apart (I'm still sore, had a few panic moments trying to hold the game together...)

if we were to continue playing as a group in a new game, I'd rather try using a VTT or something (although I don't currently have the tech capabilities of playing VTT). My in person group devolved into running the game via Discord with hand drawn maps and minis during the pandemic. It's not ideal, but is much closer to running the game in person. You also have the headache of managing scheduling to keep the game consistent.

Why does our hobby have to be so hard?

Well, if everyone gets a 4.0, what's so special about getting a 4.0?

(as an aside, my graduating gpa from undergrad was a 2.4, gradschool was a 4.0, so I'm super proud of that 4.0, although no employer will ever care about a gpa.)

Confirm that crit, doggo.

It's gonna be hard resurrecting you this time buddy.

What bonuses do I have now? Haste, Prayer, Divine Vessel?

Anzath suddenly appears as quickly as she vanished, furiously disappointed all of her strategizing had gone to waste due to stupid self sacrificing clerics. Her blades are bloodthirsty, as is she.

She turns to her nearest potential victim and flicks her wrist.
Kritfisher VS+BS+Haste+Prayer+DV: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 19 omg
VS dmg+BS: 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 + 2 = 15

Anzath frowns as another opportunity to use all her class abilities bites the dust.

1: Anzath is invisible, for now. 2: Anzath thinks Rook is a good doggo, and has only ever been nice to him. It' Terrapin whats mistreated him. 3: Talking is always a free action, right?

So many noodles.

If Bedlam and Lolly had failed their saves, we'd be in deep pooze.

Anzath tells Aurora, "Help de vizard," then downs her potion. She vanishes from sight. Invisible for 1 round

Then she moves from the doorway into the room to stand beside two of the nearest cultists, silently drawing her blades. Should be able to do so sagely unless they can see invisibility.

Oh yeah, she's evil, if that helps protect her from the door curse.

Sound's good, we were too busy pre-buffing to check the door for traps. Who traps the door to their inner sanctum anyways?

I'm fine for moving forward, just remove the curses now. if you're real persnickity, you can go back and undo any failed saves that would have been successes, at best, that might give Trag his turn back.

Anzath hastily moves to just in the doorframe, behind Aurora, stopping when she sees the cultists beginning to crowd the area. She hurls the golden bead past her comrades to catch as many of the cultists she can in a fireball. I put up a 20ft radius circle on the map catching 5 of the cultists, (and possibly Bedlam, but I think he's ok).

8d6 Fireball, DC 14 Reflex Halved: 8d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 6, 6, 2, 4, 3) = 29

AC currently 24 with Cat's Grace, Haste, and no weapons drawn.

As Bedlam opens the door, Anzath has two items in hand. One is a golden bead. The second is a potion.

I'm going to have a very busy weekend, so no worries on my part!

I think the dead elf had some stuff, mistmail or something.

Theres a ring and a book needs identifying.

"Good," says Anzath as she sees the flash of price gouging menace take hold on Terrapin's face, "no attatchmentz." She raises her flask to the gnome, to Bedlam and Lolly, to Aurora and Tragershen, "To vealth and power."

Anzath turns to Terrapin as the others get situated, "Aragnakson, before ve die, I must ask, vhat iz deal wid ringz? Do you have little gnome vife somevhere?"

Guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be! Anzath will drink the following brews beforehand: Blur, Bull's Strength, Cat's Grace, Antiplague, Antitoxin

I have no need for rest, but if the casters do, this is as good a place as any. We can try barring or jamming the doors shut somehow.

So we resting here?

Anzath takes a deep breath to steady herself, then goes to work disabling the trapped footlockers. Magical first, then mechanical. Any help is appreciated!

DD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35
DD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32
DD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
DD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
DD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32
DD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

Reflex +10 vz trapz!

Anzath takes a thorough look about the room.
Take 20 nets 36, 39 vz trapz.

"Big door meanz big bozz."

Anzath suggests the fireball be redirected at the gate.

Taken as bonus feat at 7th

Anzath steps forward and cuts the pudding to pieces.
Kritfisher+ST+Prayer: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 16
Vael’s Blade+ST+Prayer: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 + 1 = 21
Kritfisher+ST+Prayer: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 26
Vael’s Blade+ST+Prayer: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 11
No dmg done, but each successful hit should cut the pudding into two pieces, each with half the HP as the original. My hope is the expected fireball should wipe the little guys out.

Aurora, the necklace has the following fireballs on it: (2x 8d6, 2x 6d6, 4x 4d6). I’ll let you decide what to throw.

Ref Saves vs Acid:
Ref+Prayer: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 1 = 25
Ref+Prayer: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 = 27
Ref+Prayer: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 1 = 16
Ref+Prayer: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 = 30

Can I full attack?

While Tragershen thumbs through his spellbook, Anzath downs a potion of Cat’s Grace and hands Aurora her Necklace of Fireballs. She tells her, ”Get back. Use diz vhen ooze haz split into piecez."

AC 24 and, more importantly, Ref +10 with Cat’s Grace.

Boy, even a +10 is not enough…

Being in Hallway 1 seems more advantageous, I think.

Anzath mutters to those who can hear her, "It vill eat our veapons and armor, and flesh. If ve cut or pierce it, it vill split in two."

She considers her prized keen scimitars, then looks to the party casters, "Any ideaz?"

"He iz dead to uz all."

So we are around the corner, in the tunnel towards 7? or in the hallway towards 1? Are we aware of the pudding? And Bedlam is on the safe side of the portcullis?

Swift Study Target and...
Kn. Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 2 = 31

Anzath stays a safe distance on the non-Bedlam side of the portcullis.

"Diz iz foolishnezz," she mutters with disdain, How many timez must ve vatch dwarf die?"

GM, there was a secret door at 5? Or was that just the mechanism to trigger the portcullis? If a secret door, I say we head back there. If not, I don’t mind checking out level 4 B-F. Unless we’re aware of any of the tunnels leading to the southern portion of the map from 3 or 6.

How long since we ventured through the purple worm cave? I believe that was the start of our adventuring day.

"Dat vaz too easy."
Search de bodiez: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19
Look for the missing ogre: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34

Anzath really wants to kill something.
Ref vz Veb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Kritfisher+ST: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 = 18
VS dmg+ST: 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5, 2) + 4 + 2 = 13

Anzath charges the cultist engaged with Bedlam.
Kritfisher+ST+charge: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 18
VS dmg+ST: 2d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 4 + 2 = 16

AC 20 this round after charge

Is Anzath in full-attack range?

"Kome, Aragnakson, dead avaitz uz."

Double move to the sound of Bedlam yelling.
