I'm a no go on PF2 and I'd ask that we switch to Google slides for maps of we're going to do something else. If you really want to do PF2 or don't want to switch to slides don't let me stop you, however.

*Golf clap*

And seriously don't build something over a lava pit unless you absolutely need to. Rookie archvillian mistake.

I don't know what's happened, lol. I do need to do this however.

Will vs DC 23: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Psychic: 8d8 ⇒ (8, 5, 5, 4, 1, 7, 7, 7) = 44 Not enough to get through temp hp.

Mike tries to rid the area of the supernatural darkness.

Dispel magic: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Nope!

Concerning the Lava dip:

Aceracek is grappled, therefore his movespeed is zero. As Such I am fairly certain this Lava dipping attempt would not work. Given that Eliora could, at half of her movespeed, dunk him into the Lava, he would be well advised to stay the hell away from it.
He can end his flight as a free action I guess (but iirc Eli was above the balcony).

Go for the heroic sacrifice!

Also, does he ever make concentration checks to keep his flight up?

I've also been wondering this, but became convinced he had a thing. I'm without any evidence though.

I can even save Eliora if I could see her. Healing word brings her back to conscious. There is no negative hp in 5e and if I heal her before she fails a death saving throw she can weeble wobble for quite a while. Once positive I can then banish her until we can get a more permanent solution.

I'm pretty sure RAW, that maddening darkness only specifically negates the light making effect of sunbeam, not the damage and hilariously the blinding effect. Maddening darkness does not talk about negating or granting resistance to radiant damage or protecting someone from a blindness inducing effect, it just negates light sources. RPG stack exchange is my usual go to for questions like this. The link above talks about darkness vs radiant damage in general but the principles are the same.

This only addresses point B however.

Sorry for the confusion on the initiative order, I think I can save Eliora (for a little bit) but if it needs to be as a reaction, she's taking the damage this round.

I'd have to get in touch range. But if I'm doing that I would make him save each turn or lose his action.

I almost took it.

Spiritual hammer: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
Force: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

guiding bolt, 4th: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Radiance: 8d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 6, 3, 5, 3, 5) = 33

Next attack has advantage

Oh yeah, I meant the Paly is where she wants to be? I will continue the fly on her just in case old flappy bones decides to bounce.

You need to make some concentration checks because you took damage then.

Since Eliora is where she needs to be I don't think it matters much if he still concentrates on fly.

I haven't added the 9hp from Mike yet if you wanted to do something else?

I feel like I've hit my retcon limit but if you insist.

Spiritual hammer: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Force: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Crit, should have done another guiding bolt: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Apologize but currently at hospital. Will try to post tonight...

Hopefully this is good news.

Weird, it previewed just fine

Alright bonus action to healing word Larry the Wizard Lizard. Move to the edge of the lava pit. And then...

"Allfather! SMITE THIS FOOL!"

Divine intervention, players like high numbers: 1d100 ⇒ 44

Mike is greeted with only the sound of lava burbling. "You've always been a bastard, Allfather."

I'm just waiting to see if our wizard is conscious before finalizing my actions this round.

I'm not pulling my punches, I'm treating you the way I treat Acererak. I gave him a natural 20 save he would otherwise have failed, and I gave him a spell that was about 3 feet out of range, since the map isn't super precise. Don't hamstring yourself on principles.

I'm not sure which save he rolled a 20 on. But I would rather he didn't hit us with spells he was out of range on than allow me to be in range on my weakest spell.

If he's out of range he can fly his boney butt closer.

Ouch! A further 93 damage is enough to put me in the dirt, or at least unconscious if the spirits gave me 30hp. Which is the same thing, because if I remember correctly, I'm currently flying above lava... Not my brightest plan!

You still had 40 temp HP from before, which puts you at 10 HP + a new 30 temp HP. You're not dead yet!

Ok I wouldn't healing word Thip if he was still up. But if anyone else out I would healing word them.

dex save vs elec: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9 no soft balls.

I don't understand why this is crossed out, or the comment. What am I missing?

I'm rejecting your saves house rule cause the premise was that you wouldn't pull your punches. ;) didn't matter in any case. Also I'll think of something else to do with my action since I'm out of range.

Con save vs life drain: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
dex save vs elec: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9 no soft balls.

Popping absorb elements which I should have done last time. 40 damage after temp hp.

Mike told Thip, "Stop being lazy. You good for nothing layabout." Casting healing word at Thip.

Healing rebuke: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

I can't see if I'm within 60ft or if I can move to be in range, if so I cast sacred flame.

Radiant damage dex DC 20 negates: 3d8 ⇒ (8, 4, 1) = 13

Yeah unfortunately.

B~~++%$s, animate objects is concentration

Concentration vs fireball DC 13: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Concentration vs chain lightning DC 22: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Sorry Eli, :(, but that does mean I have a bonus action.

Spiritual hammer: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
force: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

What round are we on?

Eli, I think you have advantadge on the smite attack on the 17 you rolled due to guiding bolt from mike

True facts

The animated objects can't make the saves so they take full damage, and so do I. The good news is they don't stay on fire like objects because they are currently creatures and not objects.

Animated object HP
Crate 1 14/40
Crate 2 14/40
Crate 3 14/40
Crate 4 14/40
Cauldron 14/40

Mike screams at Eliora, "Ah ha now's our chance! Caul and the Boxy four won't take another hit like that." The objects line up to give the paladin a straight shot towards the lich. You cover half your Str score in feet when you standing jump so you should be able to jump across without issue.

Mike turns her attention back to the Lick, "That all you got?" She sends a bolt of gleaming light at him.

Guiding bolt, 5th level slot: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 OMG
Radiant damage: 9d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 3, 3, 6, 4, 6, 4) = 33
Radiant damage: 9d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 5, 4, 3, 5) = 28

Next attack has advantage

The animated objects will be in position next round.

Mike commands the collection of random objects "Build a bridge!" The crates and things fly out over the lava. She herself advances a little bit and tells the lich, "Go jump in your lake!" The lich is wreathed in flame like radience. Sacred Flame

Dex DC 20 or radiance: 3d8 ⇒ (6, 3, 6) = 15

Mike, I put your animated objects on the map and you should be able to move them around.

Thank you! Sorry not going to be able to post today.

I can either dispel magic the dominate and hope to roll high or bestow curse Thip and he'll never act again this combat. The latter has a better chance of working but takes Thip out of the combat. I was gonna use bestow curse on the BBEG but you know how plans go.

Edit: I'm holding off on action until I see how Anorak's counter spell works. I believe he needs to make a DC 18 check for it work.

I'm getting you a ride too Elie.

If he didn't want his precious artifact to be melted he shouldn't have put it over a pool of lava. Villains!

Con save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Spiritual hammer vs Acererak: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Mike's forceful hammer smacks the Lich in his face.

Mike retreats back to the prior room and takes in her surroundings, Yeah! You all stop being lazy and contribute." At her command the various furnishings of the room begin to hover at her command. Looks like in addition to cauldron I can get two barrels and two crates.

Animate objects

I'm waiting on the results of Anorak's counter counter spell for my turn. Which if successful makes all this tentacle talk moot.

How big is the cauldron in this post? Need a size category.

BBEG used a 5th level spell slot for a counter spell? Still a win. Do it again Anorak

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11 sigh

Negative energy: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 3) = 9
Concentration: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 This is fine, doesn't seem to be working on anything anyways.

Spiritual weapon vs Atropal: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16
Force Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Guiding bolt vs Atropal: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
Radiant damage: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 1) = 9

Blegh, my best stuff is not any good here.

"Bastard's cheatin' flyin' and such!" Next attack has advantage

Anorack, cannot being both technologically impared and on his phone. But I know what he's going for: Black box, 40ft square, just enough to get all three of the adamantine struts in one spell where they connect with the balconies. The balconies, which are presumably non-magical rock of any sort.

Also it looks like Erith might be in the area but its less of a concern for her.

The crazy plan:

Step 1: Turn the points where the adamantine struts anchor to mud.
Step 2: The struts and the cylinder fall into the lava, taking 10d10 or 18d10 damage depending on how deep they go.
Step 3: Since the atropal is still attached via umbilical and/or web, it also gets dangerously close to the lava.
Step 4: We won?

You are now, but Eliora isn't. You were warned. I need a nap, post later.

I did roll for negative energy last turn, its in the spoiler long tentacles. Where I also rolled for the damage to the tentacles for entering the AoE of spirit guardians and them starting their turn within that AoE. This is also where I crit the atropal with my spiritual hammer.

I take it sacred flame didn't work but I assume you have everything else I did accounted for?

Hmmm. Ok I think I stay on the balcony and cast Sacred Flame on the atropal. Maybe next turn I'll venture onto the strut.

This is my action if the tentacles are basically covering the entire space that they appear on the map. That is to say I can damage them with spirit guardians if I'm on the platform.

If I can only damage them by remaining near the stairs. I would not dash to the platform and instead cast Sacred Flame against the Atropal

It is the weekend, paradoxically when people have less time for this sort of thing.

I have my self moved. GM can you give me access to Anorak's token?

Welcome!

Initiative: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12
Sentinel Shield: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Mike nods at the plan, "When you're ready Erith the light of the Allfather will guide you. We should be careful, it is undead and can call more of its kind. If it does so I may be able to rebuke them but I doubt I will be powerful enough to repel it itself."

Guiding bolt will grant advantage to the next attack after it, assuming it hits.

Religion: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Mike wisely does not rush in and instead refelcts back on her time reading religious texts. But she cedes to Moa, "That is what it looks like. Should we destroy the cylinder, or cut the cord?"

Stonecunning?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

So long as they're down for polygamy.

Let's goooooo! I mean I'm ready.

Mike stood before the large green door and said, "This is it. Come to me spirits of my ancestors! Muddy! Sunburn! Blossom! Marina! Critterina! Moonbeam! and Thunderella!" Mike was surrounded by the light of seven dwarven warriors.
