That should be it. Pick your sheet and you should be good to go, let me know if there are any issues.

OK, I'll have access to a scanner tomorrow so I'll upload everything tomorrow and put it up on Dropbox for y'all if that works.
Who is on the slow track, who is on the normal track? And Avoreal, if you play through the AP you get special weapons called dominant weapons; if you attack the Karzoug images with these you give him a negative level he can't save. That gives you the opportunity to give him six negative levels before you fight.
You're the one with the AC 50 PC - frankly I don't think they write modules for folks like you.
I am at work so I don't have time right now to submit the chronicle unless someone can step me through it - but I'll be happy to take a look this afternoon once I'm home. I'll post an update if I'm stumped or if it's successful this evening latest.
Meanwhile... In the depths of the metaplanes a huge, dark figure stirs its obscene bulk as one of its minions grovels before it. Our agent was stopped and the Soul Lens was disrupted Oh Mighty One! Our plans have been delayed but we have other avenues to pursue! Please spare us! The figure is only mildly displeased, having an eternity to plan its takeover of the Material Plane and the puny world of Golarion. It swipes a few of its servants into its gaping maw to be digested over eons to signal its acceptance of the report. As it resettled his bulk amongst the cowering entities on the vast plateau it called home, it dwelled on the heroes who had stopped it.
The vast croak of its laughter echoes like thunder, and for moment in the comfort of the Grand Lodge you swear you can feel the eyes of a malevolent entity burning their gaze into you. Then it is gone and you can only feel the sunshine on your shoulders.
Indeed, as the minutes tick by Duhwoo eventually pops out of the maze. He seems to be trying to perfect a headstand while singing and playing a jug he found in the maze.
As Avoreal hits Karzoug with the battering blasts he flies backwards into the wal and his body is battered into the stone. I WAS PROMISED! I WAS PROMISED GOLARION, THAT THEY WOULD GRANT ME DOMINION IF I SERVED! He falls to the ground at Vars feet, blood bubbling out of his mouth as he protests while the life drains from him. Promised...promised... His head falls to the side and the Runewell's golden light falls to a subtle glow from the hideous storm - its link with its master cut. The Runelord of Greed is dead.
Karzoug's clearly getting desperate, looking for any source of escape. Seeing none, he'll toss off two spells. He flies away in a parabolic arc towards the runewell, then turns and fires a quickened baleful polymorph at Vuvu and another baleful polymorph at Avoreal in the hope of stopping them long enough to escape.
Forgot to add - Karzoug flies 60 feet into the air.
Oh, you notice the wounds on the Runelord stitching themselves together after Karzoug's spell ripples out towards you.
Karzoug snarls after being attacked by Avoreal's magic. Very clever little wizard, but perhaps you will consider consequences when you and your friends wither in front of you! He hurls a horrid wilting spell at all of you.
The storm giant Vars attacks is clearly outmatched, but it attempts to rally.
The other storm giant attempts to kill Vars as well.
Sadly their giant weaponry is no match for the experience battler. Go.
He is a person.
He saves.
The cloud giant to the north hops across the chasm in order to get close to Vars.
Karzoug contemptuously looks at Vuvu. That will quite enough of your third-rate magic, warbler. I'll deal with you next. But he turns to the deadliest threat and unleashes a torrent of hideous green energy at Vars.
The last cloud giant will try to, finally, kill the ghaele azata.
Mwa ha ha ha ha! Vars turns on the rest of you, swayed by promises of ruling all of Garund in Karzoug's name!
Karzoug's image vanishes from next to the runewell once the lightning dances around it, echoing the hideous buildup of energy in the well - like atomized gold spewing light in every direction. Karzoug's voice echoes across the chamber, triumphant and backed by hideous, mad laughter. YES! With the rune giant's death I have accumulated enough energy and I will be free! Ilvaradin, great Ilvaradin awaits my arrival, where armies will arrive brought by black galleons to help me conquer this world! I have been promised, and after ten thousand years I will no longer be denied!
Fortitude save vs. Holy Aura made.
You see a brief flickering around Karzoug as a spell fails.
Karzoug is annoyed by all of you, but looks at Duhwoo. You are a particularly annoying toad, especially for a dullard. Fortunately I have a test for you to prove yourself. Karzoug casts maze on Duhwoo.
He then casts quickened dimension door again - and two Karzougs appear, one next to the runewell, one on the far side of the cavern. The rune giant dies to the ghaele azata and the blue dragon responds with another attack on the ghaele.
Meanwhile the Storm giant will bull rush the lillend ghale backwards - into the Prismatic Wall. The cloud giant near where you landed slashes repeatedly at Trotter, barely managing to miss him once, but crushes an image instead.
The blue dragon renews its assault on the ghaele azata.
Karzoug has 23 ioun stones of various flavors - because's he's silly but somehow not OP. Update when I get off this afternoon.
So what you're saying is you want Karzoug to cast two more spells! What could go wrong?
I don't see why not for a prepared spell - you're basically dropping the metamagic feat, which in and of itself isn't an advantage really, since you're wasting the prepared slot X spell levels higher than the normal slot. I'd certainly let any of you say "I don't want to use my prepared metamagic feat on this spell" - I can't imagine it comes up often enough to worry about it in RAW since there are almost no conceivable circumstances where you don't want to utilize your feat unless you picked the wrong feat when levelling. Regardless the economy works out anyway, it could just as easily be: Round 1) quicken time stop; other spell
The whole point of time stop is you gain additional actions after all, not that you lose actions. Edit - As it is, the economy works for someone who's maybe panicking a little - his priority is A) Escape B) Heal C) Protect D) Destroy.
Turn 1 - Quicken Time Stop, Dimension Door (Happens to have Quicken)
Trotter, roll a quick perception for me, DC 20. Perception 20: While the storm giant seems oblivious to your appearance, you're pretty sure Karzoug knows you're there.
The flesh to stone hits Karzoug's remaining spell turning and overwhelms it. Spell Description for wackiness.
Karzoug screams in pain and rage as the spell takes effect. He casts a quickened time stop.
He casts a quickened dimension door and moves to C7. Then he casts wish and restores all the damage done to him and the rune giant. He'll cast globe of invulnerability on the next turn and then time snaps back into place. The southern most storm giant will attempt to leap across the chasm to land on the stairs to advance on the group that so gravely wounded the Runelord.
The other storm giant will advance past the runelord to interpose himself between you and the Runelord on the platforms. The blue dragon will land behind the ghaele azata .
The Rune Giant, restored, will attempt to destroy the ghaele.
Go.
Avoreal, mage's disjunction will fail to work because you're casting it inside your spellbane field - it's area of effect is literally blocked by the field you have around yourself. Your character would know that so please pick another action.
Probably a good idea to post this: Map post bard's escape
Just saw Vuvu's addition - Vuvu, your greater dispel magic gets turned back on you.
Can you cast Bard's Escape through a Prismatic Wall? Do you need to see your destination to select a destination?
As you exit the portal you emerge on a platform of stone - on a distant throne Karzoug laughs at your arrival. You're just in time! Thank you for killing so many of my minions. I only need one more soul to feed the runewell, then I'll be free to re-enter Golarion and take my rightful place as ruler! Spoiler:
The two storm giants unleash chain lightning magic amongst you.
Karzoug meanwhile points a hand and unleashes a meteor swarm against Trotter, Avoreal and the two Azata.
Karzoug then holds up a rod and casts quickened time stop. rounds. He uses the time to drop a cloudkill on the platform and erects a prismatic wall between Vars, the Azatas and the rest of you. The blue dragon springs into the air, twists and then vomits lightning on the back rank of your group.
Finally the Rune Giant advances and slams hard into the Ghaele Azata.
As Vars and Vuvu touch the sphere with their hands and Duhwoo gingerly extends the toe sticking out of his worn-out boot to touch the sphere, bright red flames engulf their figures and they seem to be turned into ash in front of your eyes. Vuvu, Vars, Duhwoo: You arrive on a platform suspended above a lake of fire. Fifty feet above and to the side stand two storm giants, up stairs above you stands a rune giant looming forty feet above you and behind him stands Karzoug and a giant blue dragon. |
