Atum Nakhti's page

So Atum has 40 XP right now, putting him at 14.1

So he's too high to do Vaults of Madness. I do have several other 12+ characters though if needed.

Otherwise I think I'm set to go for The Thousand Fangs Below. I just need to update Atum's profile with new purchases, which can be done in about 5 minutes once I get back home in a couple days.

Sphinx dot.

Hey guys!

Still on vacation and haven't read through the thread above yet. Just dotting and confirming my interest.

I should be back in full force on Jan 3 at the latest so I'll join in the conversation then. Thanks everyone!

I'm fine with that plan, once I get back on the boards around January 2-3 or so.

I've got several other 12+ characters I could play too, although I really like Atum. I'm going to look over my characters though to make sure I don't want to switch before we start the next adventure.

Atum stoically stands up straight and looks down on Suliji's lifeless form after delivering the killing blow. "Good riddance."

He then looks across the room to the restored Patron. "I hope you remember for the rest of your life that the Pathfinder Society saved the Consortium from destruction today. Perhaps the violence and treachery from both sides can be lessened, if only for a while."

---

Back with the Society leaders, Atum bows his head to the member of the Decemvirate. "It is an honor to serve and I still feel confident that we made the right decision in lending a hand to the Consortium, though they be our enemies, to stop Suliji, who would have brought unknown chaos and perhaps the mutual destruction of both organizations. I hope history judges us as having made the correct decision, or at least the noble one."

Thanks GM and no problem with the copying! Since I'm leaving in two days I might not get the chronicle until I get back in January.

And thanks everyone! Hope to see you guys in future games!

Still determined to take down Suliji before she can weasel away, Atum focuses his attacks on her and only turns attention to the construct once she falls.

@GM: Atum has been using an adamantine weapon the whole time so I don't think her stoneskin should have been having any effect.

Ref: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Atum avoids the worst of the blast and continues to back up so he can swing freely at Suliji.

Again, if she falls the rest of the attacks will go against the sword thing.

+3 impact adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 1 = 36

damage: 3d8 + 27 ⇒ (4, 4, 5) + 27 = 40

Actual damage taken only 19 then with DR 5/evil. Atum also has 30% fortification while large anyways, which I almost forgot about.

Atum steps back to give himself some room to swing his weapon, trying to bring down Suliji and then the wall of blades if he is able.

So if Suliji drops, direct the rest at the construct thing.

+3 impact adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 1 = 30
damage: 3d8 + 27 ⇒ (2, 1, 5) + 27 = 35

+3 impact adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 1 = 15

damage: 3d8 + 27 ⇒ (6, 5, 6) + 27 = 44

By short spell, do you mean swift? I know it's not in my best interest, but I should point out that swift/immediate spells don't provoke so she didn't need that concentration check. I'll wait and see how that changes things before acting.

Oh, I got distracted traveling and didn't update. Channel takes him to 58, then some clw charges:
clw: 17d8 + 17 ⇒ (2, 5, 6, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1, 4, 3, 5, 1, 2, 8, 7, 1, 5) + 17 = 74
Full HP.

Atum will not use his AoO on the sword, saving it in case he needs it on Suliji.

Yeah, your list looks good to me. And yes, I have both played and GM'd RotR 6 and SS 6 as well as the high-level modules. Well, I haven't run Wardens actually but I don't think I'd be up for running it either. All three parts is a big commitment.

"Enough of your treachery!" Atum bellows as he swings his weapon at Suliji.

+3 impact adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21
damage: 3d8 + 27 ⇒ (4, 8, 3) + 27 = 42

+3 impact adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
damage: 3d8 + 27 ⇒ (8, 5, 4) + 27 = 44

+3 impact adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
damage: 3d8 + 27 ⇒ (3, 2, 2) + 27 = 34

Atum steps into the room and takes a deep breath in as his form once again grows to incredible height. "I have had enough of your talk." He spits the word as a curse. "You say you are stopping the violence but all you have done is increased it tenfold. We have another choice now and that is this: extend our hand to the Consortium by killing you, the real villain, rather than taking advantage and striking them down only to let you and your chaos run free. For me, the choice is easy."

Atum advances into the room, moving quickly with his large size, and levels his weapon at Suliji. "Stand down and leave the Patrons be."

Swift to turn large then two moves across the room. FYI she is within Atum's 20' threatened zone if she tries to do anything. And Atum has Improved Unarmed Strike so no dead spots immediately around him.

I've played the high-level modules already but not some of the high-level AP stuff (but I have played RotR 6 and Shattered Star 6 and I am currently playing Mummy's Mask and Giantslayer so no to those too).

Atum stares down the treacherous half-orc. "I doubt Tahonikepsu is naive enough to fall for your deceptions and certainly her wisdom is far beyond your own, as evidenced by this maniacal scheme you've dreamed up. No, I do not think she would trust you and neither do I."

Oh sorry, I was rushing to catch up on all my games and missed that. Don't know how since I've run this one... I guess Atum will just move around to come in from behind. Map adjusted.

Sorry for the delay but at least it doesn't look like I held anything up! First couple days down here in Florida have been busier than expected. In the field from sunup to past sundown busy...

Atum's face remains stoic as even more enemies appear. Without hesitation he steps up close to the balcony's edge and swings his weapon out at the large creatures.

All at number 4, assuming they're tall enough he can swing at them from the balcony. If not I guess he'll move back down and get behind them.

Will: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Atum looks at the creature standing in his way and slowly intones, "It would be better for you not to stand in my way." He then swings his weapon with full might at the stony creature.

+3 impact adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 19 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 19 + 2 = 31

damage: 2d8 + 24 + 2 ⇒ (8, 4) + 24 + 2 = 38

Atum starts running up the stairs to the doors leading to the upper chambers. "We've got to find the leaders before Suliji gets to them."

Just moving I guess.

Atum waits for the others to finish talking, knowing this will inevitably end in a fight. He knows that during his employ as a palace guard he would not have been swayed to step aside and likely neither would Mr Khayn, for any reason.

When Mr Khayn finally adopts a fighting pose, Atum lowers his polearm to a horizontal position, ready to advance.

Atum, standing in his resplendent, gleaming gold armor with a bright red scarab etched on his chest, not to mention the large polearm in his hand and the other strapped to his back, comments, "I am actually quite stealthy... better than you might expect."

He kneels down and places his hand on the stone floor. "Mighty power of the Sphinxes, let me pass," he whispers as he slowly sinks into the stone floor.

Using at-will Atunement to Stone ability to meld with the stone and essentially disappear... awesome and surprisingly useful ability. I wish I had more opportunities to use it! Really I just need to invent opportunities.

As the last foe falls, Atum slowly shrinks back to his normal size and motions for Ignatious to use his wand to tend his wounds as he sets his weapon against the wall for a moment.

clw: 18d8 + 18 ⇒ (7, 2, 7, 3, 4, 2, 3, 1, 1, 7, 5, 3, 6, 4, 3, 8, 6, 3) + 18 = 93
128/128

"Well, we had better hurry before Suliji completes her deed." Atum retrieves his polearm and slams the butt against the ground to emphasize his point.

I've got haste and bard in there, I forgot about the +2 from blessing.

Heedless of the rest of the right, Atum maintains his stony focus on the creature in front of him, once again swinging his polearm around in surprisingly graceful yet devastatingly powerful arcs.

Reflex? Boo!
Ref: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Atum takes the blast of electricity with not a flinch but instead growls through gritted teeth, "Now you're really going to regret that." He starts swinging his polearm in wide arcs, circling them back around to attack from the side and then from above...

+3 impact adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 1 + 2 = 41

"Not a good idea, making me angry," Atum growls as he grows to over 12 feet tall and his skin takes on a rough gray hue. The gem in the center of his forehead sends out a red shimmer as he strides forward and slams his polearm into the creature on the left.

Improved Vital Strike

"Let's just leave the Kernaug group posted in a safe location for quick access if we need them. I see reason to put them in the firing line by doing something risky and unnecessary at this hour."

"What if we leave the Axe-Fitters outside the shipping entrance to guard our exit if we need to escape? If someone more skilled in magic than I could set up communication with them, they could even warn us if something starts going on outside the compound."

"So maybe we can sneak in through the shipping entrance then?" Atum asks. "Let's get going then."

"I've heard enough. As bad as the Consortium is, Suliji is more dangerous because she is unpredictable and clever; a bad combination. Mr. Alexayn, this is the last chance to offer us any information you have about the compound and then we will be on our way."

"Much astray, indeed," Atum comments without a hint of sarcasm. "You are aware that we are Pathfinder agents, are you not? Our agencies have had many disagreements over the years. But if you want us to help you dig out the rot from your fledgling Consortium by taking down Suliji, then you need to tell us what her plan is and why we should trust you more than her."

Knowledge (engineering): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Knowledge (history): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

"Lots of different types of architecture mixed together in this place," Atum comments. "But it looks like someone has already looted most of the gems that used to be embedded."

"Let's go inside and see if the rest has been similarly looted."

Atum discusses with his fellow agents. "She has valuable information. We must take her to the Decemvirate. They will decide whether they can trust her or not and what to do with her afterwards. We will follow their orders, not her suggestions."

"Why should we trust you? How do we know this isn't just part of Suliji's plan... lure us to Alexayn's crypt and have a team of necromancers waiting to run us down with their army of undead or something like that?"

Atum lets out a heavy breath as he slowly returns to normal size and his skin loses its gray stony color. He replaces the bardiche on his back and picks up his bec de corbin from the stairs. "That was more effective than our weapons, I guess. What exactly was that thing? And where's the scientist behind it all, we still haven't seen any signs of her."

Oh yeah, I forgot that I was going to switch to my bardiche last round. The attack will be three lower and he'll only get the first swing of course. So that's:
Attack: 20
damage: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (3, 5) + 22 = 30

Atum, having switched to a more appropriate weapon, continues trying to hack off part of the god ooze... or whatever it is, he isn't really sure he understands it.

mwk bardiche: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18
damage: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (4, 7) + 22 = 33

mwk bardiche: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35
damage: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (6, 8) + 22 = 36

"What is wrong? Why can't we hurt this thing?" Atum asks in frustration as he swings his polearm again.

+3 impact adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23

damage: 3d8 + 27 ⇒ (4, 2, 5) + 27 = 38

With his large polearm Atum does not need to move. With the typical deadly efficiency of a well-trained soldier he swings at the ooze:

+3 impact adamantine bec de corbin: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21
damage: 3d8 + 27 ⇒ (5, 4, 8) + 27 = 44

damage: 3d8 + 27 ⇒ (2, 6, 2) + 27 = 37

Edit: Darn, I was about to roll a confirm but then remembered that it's an ooze....

Will: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 4 = 15
Ugh! Haha. Well, it just cancels out Roos' inspire.

Atum finishes moving down the stairs to the last platform!

Double move.

Perfect timing! Just got back from my trip.

"Filthy mortals? We'll show you who's really filthy...." Atum raises lowers his bec de corbin and charges down the stairs, his skin turning gray and his limbs growing longer with each stride. By the time he is nearing the second landing, he is twice the size he was before.

Swift action ka stone activation, double move down.

Knowledge (engineering): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

"It looks too small in there, doesn't it? I don't think we'll all fit."

Atum strides forward once he is reassured the hallway is safe. "Come on, we need to keep moving." He smashes his adamantine weapon into the cage until it is bent enough for the captives to get out. He then marches over to the door down the hall and leads the way forward.

Atum closes one of the journals and looks up. "I may have served as a bodyguard in the palace of the Ruby Prince, but my training also included the study of the secular and religious history of Ossirion. I am not averse to a little book-work now and then. There is no need to relegate me to mere guard."

Very nicely summarized. I still find it frustrating that the scenario just refers you to the rules without actually printing them. I'm almost positive they always reprint the chase rules in the scenario so the GM doesn't have to look them up but for some reason they didn't do that here with Research. (To the others: I'm running my own table that's a little ahead.)

Atum shrugs and follows the others to the next room. He is still standing tall but clearly the fight with the spider-monster is having its toll. He takes out a scroll of restoration and hands it to Ignatious. "Can you use this? I have trained for many hours in the desert without tiring and yet I can not overcome this feeling of weakness after facing that monster back there."

He then starts casually flipping through the documents in the room. "So what were they doing here?"

Atum can't understand the roper but when Ignatious suggests freeing it Atum nods. "Neither can I abide to see another creature tortured like this. I will set it free." He raises his adamantine weapon and motions for the roper to stay still while he bashes away at whatever restraints are holding it in.

Atum is weary from the spell but tries to fight on.

I think I can still full-attack though.
