Cool, thanks!

Not really, I wasn’t sure if it would be misread as 128 for just Vigilant Seal, but it doesn’t really matter.

Looks good, thanks! Only issue is that 124 (now 128) is Bardok's total Reputation. Vigilant Seal alone is 112 (now 116).

Yay! Go team! Thanks GM!

Bardok stows his wand and runs the fingers of both hands through his beard. ”When it comes down to scoring a good hit or keeping your companions alive, keep your companions alive. Many hands make light work, but only one—even a big one—can’t hold everything together.”

Also, I'm not good, so I don't take evil damage and Bravery keeps me from being frightened.

I don’t think you have to be good to take evil damage in PF2. The type of damage is just for resistance or weakness or whatever.

Edit: Nevermind, Kohl is right! Bardok shouldn’t be taking evil damage then either. Good to know!

Did Rex crit with the natural 20 from his true strike?

Reflex DC 30: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18

Getting struck by two demonic fingers, Bardok figures the best he can do is leave it all on the field. Most of his offensive spells won't work on hands most likely, so he gets close enough to engulf the foes in a burst of sound.

Stride, Cast a Spell (5th-level sound burst, affecting only the hand).

Sonic Damage: 5d10 ⇒ (4, 9, 9, 5, 5) = 32

Nvm canceled plans due to virus surge

I'll be out of town Friday-Sunday for New Years. Bot me if needed.

”I’d get out of that ring of death if I were you!” Bardok puts some distance between himself and the flames and heals himself just in case.

Stride, Cast a Spell (2nd-level soothe on himself)

Healing: 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (5, 9) + 8 = 22

Bardok approaches the party and tries to drop the far troll in case it’s regeneration is helping the spirit.

Stride, Cast a Spell (5th-level phantasmal killer on orange (Will DC 27). Manifold missiles 1/10.

Force Damage (spirit): 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 3) + 2 = 8

Success Mental Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 1) = 9 and frightened 1
Failure Mental Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 3, 6, 6, 1, 6, 6, 2) = 37 and frightened 2
Crit Failure Mental Damage: 15d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 2, 6, 1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 3, 5, 5, 2, 2) = 50 plus fleeing 1, frightened 4, and Fortitude DC 27 or die

Bardok gestures toward the spirit with his wand, expelling a torrent of magical bolts toward it.

Three-action Cast a Spell (3rd-level magic missile via wand of manifold missiles)

Force Damage: 6d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 1) + 6 = 27

Bardok hurls another ball of fire at his closest target while drawing his best weapon to use against the incorporeal foe.

Interact (draw wand), Cast a Spell (produce flame on blue troll)

Spell Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25
Damage (fire): 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3, 2, 1, 4) + 5 = 18

Sounds good Omble. Likely Bardok knows since his last action was also a 35 and crit.

Yep, same result last attack and that was a crit.

Bardok tries to ID the spirit while taking another crack at the troll.

Recall Knowledge on spirit, Cast a Spell (produce flame on blue troll)

Occultism: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

Spell Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
Crit Damage (fire): 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 1, 3) + 5 = 18 x2 = 36 plus Persistent Fire: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 4, 1) = 12

Bardok catches up and tries to slow the troll’s regeneration.

Stride, Cast a Spell (produce flame on blue)

Spell Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35
Damage (fire): 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 4, 1) + 5 = 17

Bardok keeps up with the moving party and tries to drop the next closest troll using the same spell.

Stride, Cast a Spell (phantasmal killer on the blue troll, Will DC 27)

Mental Damage (succeed): 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 6, 4) = 13 plus frightened 1

Can’t post until Thursday, sorry! Bot if needed

Bardok rejoins the group and tries to kill the nearest troll with its own imagination.

Stride, Cast a Spell (phantasmal killer on the white troll, Will DC 27)

Mental Damage (succeed): 4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 2) = 17 plus frightened 1
Mental Damage (fail): 8d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 1, 4, 6, 5, 4, 6) = 34 plus frightened 2

”On it!” Bardok calls, conjuring an orb of fire to hurls at the damaged troll before pressing on.

Cast a Spell (produce flame on green), Stride

Spell Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34
Damage (fire): 5d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 4, 1) + 4 = 18

Reflex DC 28: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25

Bardok takes the brunt of the heat blast, his ring glowing as it absorbs some of the fire. He hustles to catch up with the group, extending long tendrils of energy from the runescars along his arms.

Stride, Stride, Cast a Spell (tentacular limbs focus spell)

Won't be able to post until Tuesday, bot me if needed!

Bardok catches his breath as he receives the medical attention. "One less undead monstrosity to contend with. Let's put down this spirit and call it a day."

Forgot the save, Bardok does have fire resistance though so take 5 off that damage.

Bardok ends his fear and invisibility by trying to ground the dragon.

◆ ◆ Cast a spell (earthbind) on the dragon, ◆ Cast a spell (shield)

With few tools to use against the ravener, Bardok retrieves his scroll while giving Kohl a boost.

◆ Interact (draw scroll of breath of life), ◆◆ Cast a Spell (soothe [4th] on Kohl)

Soothe: 4d10 + 16 ⇒ (3, 8, 3, 4) + 16 = 34 +2 saves vs mental for 1 minute

Reflex: 1d20 + 17 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 17 - 1 = 17
Hero Point: 1d20 + 17 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 17 - 1 = 27

Bardok feels the pain from the negative energy attack. He gets out of the line of fire and tries to help Omble.

Stride, Cast a Spell (soothe on Omble)

Soothe (3rd): 3d10 + 12 ⇒ (8, 9, 9) + 12 = 38 +2 saves vs mental for 1 minute

Will: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

Struck by fear, Bardok separates from the party and renders himself invisible.

Stride, Cast a Spell (invisibility on himself)

Fortitude: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

Bardok tries again to combat the storm.

Arcana (Round 2): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23
Arcana (Round 3): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34

Sorry all, I’m sick as a dog (not COVID) and haven’t had the stamina to do anything these past few days. I will do my darndest to post tomorrow.

Fen hears the whispering of her ancestors growing louder than the surge, a crescendo that finally culminates in a stream of spirits that shoot out into it to nullify it.

◈◈ Cast a Spell (verbal, somatic) - Dispel Magic (3rd level) (Abjuration)
[DICE=Counteract, bump]1d20+15+1

They are quickly swept up into it and dispersed though, and Fen is left alone with her horror.

◈ Stride

Take my GM glyph hero point to reroll that. Nat 1s on spells stink.

Bardok taps his arcane knowledge to try and diffuse the threat.

◆◆ Arcana, ◆ Stride (I can’t see the map though)

Arcana: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27

Bardok nods stoically, gripping a mote of magical fire in his free hand.

Bardok beams as his team makes short work of the demonic energies afflicting the forest. He hustles them over to the monolith and tries to repeat his success.

Occultism: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20

Bardok takes his team to the rifts in the forest floor, trying to seal away the evil energies surging out of the chasms.

Flares (Arcana): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (19) + 19 = 38 Master proficiency, if it matters.

Rex has Combat Mentor which increases the bump to attack rolls to +2

Same, but it won't stack.

One GM glyph to pass out.

Bardok nods. "Back to bossing around grad students, eh? Fits my skillset, I suppose. I'm a leading scholar on Thassilonian rune magic; probably of little use here, but any sites that fit that bill are good by me."

School item is scroll of breath of life unless the group needs something else before we set out.

Bardok sheathes his wand and brushes back his hair. "Seems a like a worthwhile endeavor. Let's poke that storm in the eye."

Thanks for running GM! Looking forward to part 3.

Bardok's wand continues to spout missiles while the sorcerer conjures a ray-like monster to subdue Sapphire.

2 missiles from wand on Disciple. ◆◆◆ Cast a Spell (summon entity to conjure a cloaker, which uses infrasonic moan [stupor] on Drandle).

Force Damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10

Bardok's darkvision cuts through the shadows. He raises his wand toward the disciple and unleashes a barrage of magical bolts.

◆◆◆ Cast a Spell (2nd-level magic missile via wand of manifold missile at the Disciple)

Force Damage: 6d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 4, 2, 4) + 6 = 25

Bardok can cast earthbind once if the boss flies.

"Left is always right." Left arm?

Bardok prepares for the advance by drawing his wand.

Bardok keeps watch while the others heal, then brings up the rear as they round the back of the statue. "Someone got those hazards under control?"

Bardok smiles as the enemies drop. ”Not so bad! Let’s go rescue Sapphire!”

Will (soothing words): 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 16 + 2 = 20

Bardok suffers a twinge of fear, but rounds on the demon. "Here's something to be afraid of!" He presents the chunk of cold iron and recites the exorcism from his scroll.

◆◆◆ Cast a Spell (banishment from scroll using chunk of cold iron as a bonus component (offsets the penalty from frightened 2) against the visible shadow demon)

Seeing the demons try to possess his allies, Bardok hustles up the ramp and retrieves some items to help repel the new attackers.

Stride, Interact (retrieve scroll of banishment), Interact (retrieve cold iron chunk)

Has Omble encountered these creatures before? How does he know what their powers are?

Also I cast invisibility on Omble, but if you are stuck on the wall and can't reach the monsters during the duration I'd rather use those actions dropping a hypnotic pattern on them to buy us some time instead. Can you reliably reach them in time?

Bardok tries to identify the oncoming monsters while casting invisibility on Omble.

◆ Identify (Nature +13 vs fey?), ◆◆ Cast a Spell (invisibility [4th] on Omble if he can reach the monsters, otherwise hypnotic pattern on both the monsters [see Discussion])

Bardok gulps again and looks helplessly to his allies. "This is not the domain of scholars it seems. Can someone help give me a lift?"
