(Eadie waves fossilblight at the Masked GM in Red)

Gunner raises a stein toward Eadie, in remembrance of all the drinking they did in Magnimar.

"Ah, be careful now friend" a man calls from the far end of the bar as Sayuki falls over. "The Lucky Drunk smiles on those who know when to call it an evening."

"Y'all are krilling me with these puns."

"To what she said!" Gunner lifts his tankard in salute, drains it, then picks up the full one the bartender is just setting by his elbow (the staff clearly know him by now). "What should we toast to next?"

"Yeah, come have a drink and together we'll toast to glory, in whatever form we find it!"

I'm hoping to play Siege of the Diamond City, and I'll be Overseer GM for Year of the Shadow Lodge.

"Uh oh, Eadie, I think you made him mad," says a man a few tables over, raising his overflowing tankard with a grin. "Maybe you oughta buy him a drink."

The celebration begins before the assembled Pathfinders even make it back to Heidmarch manor and stretches well into the night. Gunner, as usual, is right in the middle of the revelry, pouring drinks, dancing, and leading sorties into the wine cellar for 'reinforcements'. The following morning, after administering a bit of hair-of-the-dog for those that need a restorative, he slings his gear over his shoulder and ambles on down the road back toward Absalom.

Thanks Hmm! That was great!

Same here. Thanks everyone, that was lots of fun!

Unless it's an Evergreen, I can't, sorry... my level 10 fighter is already busy dyin... err.. playing in this scenario at another table.. :)

I'll say one thing: come FULLY prepared.... it's brutal. I hope you have a cleric dedicated to healing.

Same here, and I echo the 'come prepared' statement. Some well-chosen preparations made a huge difference for my party when I played it.

I'm good with taking a break. I am basically out of ways to meaningfully contribute, aside from channelling.

Note to self: don't piss off the fighter.

It was from a wand earlier. It might have a round or two left of the original ten,
but I figure it's going to run out soon.

"Shoot, hold on a sec Eadie! Somethin' I shoulda done already before you rush in! Those tails look like they could squeeze someone somethin' fierce!"

Assuming Eadie is willing to delay for him:
Gunner casts a spell, flies down and touches Eadie, making her impossible to grapple for the next 90 minutes. Freedom of movement, of course. Don't know why I spaced on doing that last round.

If this creature should happen to grapple anyone with those big, nasty tails, Gunner will cast liberating command as an immediate action, giving that person an immediate Escape Artist check with a +18 bonus.

I think I have two rounds of that spiritual weapon left.

Gunner directs the spiritual rapier to attack the Xacarba:

CL check vs. SR, if needed: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
force damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

He then draws his wand of bless.

Does anyone want to try to aid Bruxo’s fort save with a heal check vs that poison? Or perhaps some other method???

"I think we could all use a little protection."

Gunner pulls a scroll and casts communal delay poison to put off the problem for another day. 5 hours to divide up, so veryone (including the bird) gets one hour except Vashara and Yanndu (who seem like they're trying to stay out of melee).

spiritual weapon attack, bard: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 = 30
force damage, bard: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

spiritual weapon iterative, bard: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
force damage, bard: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

spiritual weapon crit confirm?, bard: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 = 11 D'oh!
force damage, bard: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

----

Gunner casts cure critical wounds and flies above Bruxo to deliver the spell.

cure critical: 4d8 + 9 ⇒ (3, 8, 4, 1) + 9 = 25

Gunner redirects his spiritual weapon onto the yellow spider, then flies around and into a flanking position with Eadie.

attack (spiritual weapon): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

I don't have a ton of useful spells left, but I have some, and I have plenty of channels, and there's always my trusty rapier. I say fight on!

Gunner casts spiritual weapon on the blue-socked cat, then flies up above the adjacent building.

CL check vs. SR: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

An ethereal rapier appears orbiting the hellcat, stabbing at it with drunken force.

Attack vs. blue, bard: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 1 = 24
force damage, bard: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

All yours! I've carried this partial wand for two levels and never used it. Two total charges from the wand, yeah?

"Eadie, may the strength of Cayden's liver be with you!"

If Eadie allows it, Gunner will cast bull's strength on her. He then draws a wand of bless and casts it just as things seem to come to a head.

Gunner pulls a wand and taps Myrdon.

[dice=lesser restoration]1d4 <--2 con damage restored

By which, I of course meant Bruxo. D'oh.

"Leave? Aren't you at least a little curious what's going on here? What if these cultists have more mischief afoot?"

Gunner pulls a wand and taps Myrdon.

lesser restoration: 1d4 ⇒ 2 <--2 con damage restored

Do we have any indication that something is going to happen?

Gunner flies closer to the the action, casting prayer as he approaches.

Allies: +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks
Enemy: -1 penalty on same.

Gunner casts invisibility purge and flies forward 90ft or until the assassin becomes visible (at which point he would stop 15ft above the assassin). Invisibility is suppressed within 45ft of Gunner for the next 9 minutes.

Gunner will also take a moment to cast fly on himself before giving chase. Assuming haste is still going, that's 90ft fly speed.

If green lived and dimension stepped within the building, Gunner will follow on foot, attacking if possible or double moving to get adjacent if not.

AoO vs. Green:

+1 keen rapier: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 crit threat on 15+ <--This RNG is unbelievable with this rapier.
damage, ferocious strike: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 4 = 14
confirm?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
damage, ferocious strike: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 = 11

Gunner keeps ferociously poking away at the cultist in front of him (Green).

+1 keen rapier, haste: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 = 15 crit threat on 15+
damage, ferocious strike: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 = 10

---

iterative, haste: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 = 27 crit threat on 15+
damage, ferocious strike: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 = 13
confirm?, haste: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13
damage, ferocious strike: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 = 13

---

haste attack: +1 keen rapier, haste: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 1 = 33 crit threat on 15+
damage, ferocious strike: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 4 = 14
confirm?: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 1 = 33 <--Wow, this RNG likes my Rapier today!
damage, ferocious strike: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 4 = 14

I hadn't reset my Ferocious Strike counter in my tagline, so I went back through my posts and counted. These were my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Ferocious Strikes today.

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Gunner rushes out of the cloud, drawing his rapier as he approaches the green summoner. Let's see if we can't interrupt things a bit.

+1 keen rapier, haste: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 1 = 31 crit threat on 15+
damage, ferocious strike: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 = 11

confirm? (+1 keen rapier, haste): 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 1 = 25
damage, ferocious strike: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 4 = 12

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Reflex save, haste: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 1 = 17 Oof. Are we rolling our own glass damage, or are you going to roll it, GM?

Gunner, bleeding from cuts all over his body, dumps the glass shards from his tankard then raises it high, emitting a burst of positive energy that washes over his allies (selecting out the cultists, obvs).

Channel to heal: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 4, 4) = 21 The glass hurts 5d6, I heal 5d6. Nice and symmetrical.

Woah, woah, woah, let's not get out of hand, here!

I would like to buy a replacement antiplague as well (I'm just going to keep copying everything Eadie does :P)

Gunner shudders at the mention of Runelords and Sihedrons. Ugh, not this again.

“ENOUGH!” she calls out. “What do you want? We surrender!”

...

The note reads:

Place the deposit with the proctor at the temple in your name. When the bidding is over, collect it and keep it. Just make sure you sow the seeds carefully or you won't have the chance to collect your payment.

"Who wrote this? And what seeds?"

Seeing Eadie drink an anti-plague, Gunner says "Ooh, good idea!" and drinks one of his own.

"Anybody know anything about these critters before we go in?"

Knowledge (local?): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Gunner draws a wand of bless and looks at the party to see if they're ready. Once they are, he will cast the spell immediately before kicking in the door (using Might of the Gods to get a +9 to his strength score for a +5 modifier).

Eh, you've proven to be right about a lot of things so far. If that's how you're reading it, let's go for the shock and awe. I'm on board.

Let's go with Shock and Awe. I bet it will make for a quicker encounter.

Wait a minute. How do we know this isn't a legitimate business going about their day? Why don't we just knock on their door and ask them? I mean, I guess some of this stuff is probably stolen, but is that our mission here, or are we just looking for information?

"Well, forwarned is forearmed, right? Let me take a look." As is becoming his MO, Gunner will touch the door for a minute, concentrating on the other side until it becomes clear in his vision. Door sight.

Well, it seems like a bit of overkill to use a 5th level spell, but then again I don't want to count on rolling another 20 so...

Gunner says "Gather round so I can touch you all. May as well make the most of this" and then casts life bubble, giving us 18 hours of protection split up among the party. I'll say 2hrs each to Yanndu, Vashara, and Myrdon, since they seem to be the least likely to be in the middle of stuff, and 3 hours each to everyone else, including Aegis.

Once the spell is in place, Gunner opens the chest without bothering to try and disable the trap.

"I'm alright, Myrdon, thanks. Cayden's blessings keep me strong of liver. Feelin' a bit foolish, though, for missin' the trap on that chest."

"Well, that was a surprise! Can everyone else give the second one a once-over before I try it? I'm not seeing any traps, but then again I didn't see any on this one either."

I'll wait for others to look for traps on the second one before I try to crack it open.

"Alright" Gunner says, rubbing his hands together. "Let's crack these things open."

Starting with Chest 1:
Disable device, chest 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

"Sure, I'll give it a try. Are they safe?"

Perception, looking for traps, chest 1: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9
Perception, looking for traps, chest 2: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9

Wow, those are some rolls.

If Yanndu's magic missiles don't destroy it:

Gunner sends forth another burst of positive energy, once again channeling the power of Cayden Cailean to destroy this undead creature.

channel to harm undead, DC 18: 5d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5, 2, 5) = 20

What is this thing? Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

"By the Hero's foam, stay back!" Gunner raises his tankard, emanating a burst of positive energy that washes over the creature.

Channel to harm undead, DC 18: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 2, 2) = 15

Sorry, I had been intending to make it more clear that I was casting that and mark it on the map once everyone was ready.
