Found my character sheet on my tablet.

Craft (books) : 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (15) + 20 = 35

Good game everyone. Mike thanks again for running and good luck with school. I will roll Phos' day job when I can jump on my computer. It's dead from running City of Strangers part 1 at the flgs tonight.

Phos pulls a rod from his pack, points his finger at the enemy and unleashes 2 searing rays of fire at her.

She hasn't moved, so you're good.

And these are basically raptors. Raptors with smite evil AND a charisma bonus of +2. So full of win! Anyway, should these boogers have gone when I dispelled the invis, or should I wait till next round?

Kyra would have expected them. Phos warned the group telepathically ahead of time that he was summoning them.

Oh yeah, I think my Summon Monster V should have gone off by now. I'm guessing they should attack on my init (it's usually easier that way) but let me know when you want them to go.

Celestial Deinonychus summoned: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Edit: summoned lizards added. Smite evil is factored in. Their placement is marked on the map (cause I don't know how to use icons).

Groovy

The cryptic words of magic roll off the elf's tongue as he gestures in a weaving motion, attempting to unmake the sorceress' magic.

dispel magic: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Is it enough to target her with a Dispel Magic?

Ah yes, thank you for reminding me for the 3rd scenario in a row that I need to purchase See Invisibility. I will learn my lesson this time.

Am I correct in assuming that I am unable to target her with a Dispel Magic because I cannot see her? Since I have Arcane Sight happening, can I determine the approximate location of the illusion? That may not be enough to target her, but I want to make sure she's not heading out the door.

Mike, do you want us to roll our SR check, or do you want to? Don't know if you just rolled mine because I wasn't aware of it when the spell was cast, or it's your preference. I'm fine either way, but keep in mind that I get a +2 for being an elf.

spellcraft to determine what spell she cast: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (10) + 22 = 32

Phos telepathically relays the information he knows about the lamia matriarch to his companions, and warns Kyra to be ready to heal mental damage, as well as physical.

He then telepathically relays to the party that he plans to summon multiple creatures to assist with the fight.

Phos intends to use his bonded ring to cast Summon Monster V to summon 1d3 celestial Deinonychus (from the 4th level table)

I think I know what she is, but I don't want to assume, so I'll roll a general knowledge check with my lowest knowledge score

general knowledge check: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32

With one swift motion, Phos reaches into his backpack and produces a rod, this one with a pointing finger at the end. Aiming it towards the Serpent woman, he speaks a few hissing words, causing her reflexes to falter.

Once the party is in place (before they are close enough to be heard on the other side of the doors), Phos asks Amiria & Liz to keep a close watch for ambushes while he & Kyra prepare. Phos casts the following spells, in this order:
1. darkvision (self, 10 hours)
2. telepathic bond (whole party, duration 100 minutes).
3. arcane sight (self, 10 minutes)
4. mirror image (self, 10 minutes, # of images: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4)
5.communal protection from evil (extended via mm rod) (party, 5 minutes)
6. haste (extended via mm rod) (party, 20 rounds)
7. greater invisibility (on Liz, 10 rounds).

Telepathically, Phos says, "I don't know what we're about to face, but whatever it is, we're as prepared as we are going to be. Let it begin."

There are quite a few really nice Android apps for Pathfinder.

A good friend of mine has actually put one together, and I'm helping him test it: Pathfinder Assistant.

No, it does not appear to be considered a trap (alarm).

"Hmm, alarms are often set with a password. I wonder if our friend resting back in the other room might be able to give us said password? I have already used the spell which allowed me to read his thoughts, but perhaps he can be... persuaded to share the information with us. Are any of you particularly adept at discerning when someone is telling the truth?"

I tried it last week and it kept crashing on login (on both my tablet and phone), but it seems to be working now.

On a side note, I am trying the Wayfinder app which allows and android user better access to pbp games on the paizo boards. I was looking at the screen shots on the Google Play site, and look who I found!

Frowning as the spell fizzles, he considers dispelling the third alarm himself, but realizes that would still leave 1 alarm to deal with. Turning to Kyra, he asks, "I don't suppose you have your own dispel magic prepared?"

Phos looks around, thinking that his companions had the third scroll. He then walks back to where they fought the cultists and retrieves the third scroll, returns and uses it to dispel the third alarm

dispel magic (scroll): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Phos nods in approval as both dispels seem to work, then motions for Kyra to use the third scroll on the third section.

After taking inventory of the scrolls, Phos realizes his error. "Well, I suppose this leaves us no room for error." Holding the scroll he previously took, he waves off Kyra's offer of the other scrolls, "No need, you are quite skilled enough that it would make no difference who used which scroll."

(We are using the scroll's caster level, which is 5, so you'll do d20+5 to overcome the DC of 12)

Phos unravels the first scroll and focuses his casting upon the first alarm spell.

dispel magic (scroll): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

"Very well, we will deal with them when we return. " turning towards the well Phos motions towards different sections of the path that are warded. "There are four seperate alarm spells placed along this path. We have four scrolls of dispel magic , and I have the spell prepared as well, so I suggest we utilize the scrolls and if one fails, I will then attempt to dispel it. If more than 1 fail we will discuss alternatives. "

Phos sets his haversack down and reaches into a side pocket to retrieve a journal and the scroll box containing his writing implements. He then proceeds to Make a few notes regarding his findings with the well water, then dips the pen into the water and jots down a few more notes as a sample. As he completes his notes and allows the ink to dry, he turns towards his companions. "Have we reached a conclusion about the chained people?"

"Correct, we do not know who they are. Worshipers of Lissala sometimes undergo horrible torture in the name of their goddess. If these poor souls are cultists, they may not necessarily want to be set free. We should deal with the leader before setting them free."

Phos halts the party "The way is warded with a spell to alert someone to intruders. We should deal the wards before proceeding."

spellcraft: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (10) + 22 = 32

Phos grabs a Potion of CMW, a scroll of DM and a mw light crossbow. Once the loot is gathered and distributed, and the prisoner has been safely secured and hidden, Phos signals that he is ready to proceed.

Also, I just realized that in the first act, I said that Phos used dimension door to jump the party past the Alarm spell, but apparently I do not have dimension door prepared (I am obviously not as smart as my PC). It would stand to reason that he would have instead used Teleport to transport the party rather than DD, so I will mark that as used.

Before we proceed, let's make sure he's bound tightly, gagged and put into one of the side rooms. Also, let's search them, him and the bodies for anything useful.

"Very well, unless my companions have further questions for you, we will leave you here, bound and gagged, in one of these rooms. We will retrieve you when we have dealt with her, and either set you free or hand you over to the authorities, as we see fit. Either way, I highly suggest you find some other power to worship, as the goddess of runes has and will bring you nothing but hardship."

Phos nods, satisfied with his answer. "And how far from here is Miakovna? Are there any dangers between here and there?"

Edit: Apparently I fail at grammar.

Stepping aside allow the fuming barbarian to pass, Phos calmly gestures to Kyra and Elizabeth, "Would you ladies mind binding our prisoner's hands? I have never been terribly adept with knot tying." As they work, Phos removes the cultist's helmet (if he wears one), removes a copper piece from a pouch on his sash, chants a few arcane words, and flips the coin towards the prisoner. As the magic flows through him, him, the wizard focuses his mind on that of the cultist, willing the helpless man's mind to open to him and reveal his secrets. "Now tell me, who is in charge here?" (Will save DC 22)

Do you think it would behoove us to spare one of their lives in exchange for information on what lies in wait? I get the feeling that the cultist might be easier to intimidate than Whippy McGee, but I'm up for suggestions.

With a few arcane words and gestures, 5 bolts of arcane power erupt from Phos' outstretched hand towards Heshlack (or the cultist, if the whip-master has gone down).

Magic Missile: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 4, 2, 4, 2) + 5 = 20

When each of the ladies indicates that they are ready, Phos steps back a bit, looks Heshlak in the eye and dismisses the Wall of Force.

Kyra: the Wall of Force should block your channel, but I don't think either of them has been injured yet anyway.

Phos turns from the fallen cultist towards Heshlak and the remaining guard, and a demeanor devoid of expression, he dryly says, "Now ladies, please keep in mind that it is impolite to play with your food. When everyone is ready to proceed, I shall drop the barrier."

Phos steps over to Elizabeth and places a hand on her shoulder (Diviner's Fortune +5). "Finish this one," nodding towards cultist 1, "then we shall deal with these two." gesturing towards those trapped on the other side of the wall.

I may or may not be able to update this evening, so feel free to alter my action (target) to fit the situation when my init rolls around.

Ignoring the outrage on the opposite side of the barrier, Phos directs his attention towards cultist 2.

"Both of you against one young lady? That's hardly fair, now is it?"[b]

For some reason my line didn't stay last time. It seems to be staying this time.

"What a mess. Let's organize and prioritize this a bit."

Reaching into his component pouch, his fingers emerge pinching a tiny bit of powdered stone. The words and gestures weave together in a smooth display, and the wizard flings the dust in the direction of the South wall. A shimmer ripples across the space between Liz and the two enemies closest to the wall, then disappears, leaving behind an invisible barrier cutting the latter off from the rest of the fray.

I am somehow able to access Roll20 while at work right now, so I've drawn the wall where he placed it.

"Amiri and Kyra, I presume you can deal with the remaining 3 in under a minute?"

Edit: Will Save vs. Channel: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Phos waves towards the safer path. "If we stay on this end, we should be safe. Just watch your step."

Do we see anything else on the other end of the room?

Phos nods his approval towards Liz, then inspects the room to make sure it's safe to pass.

engineering: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

(I'll be floored if that roll is actually called for)

"There is an illusion in effect on these stairs. Miss Elizabeth, would you please investigate for traps?"

spellcraft: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (15) + 22 = 37

Welcome back. Glad you had a great weekend!

Can Phos tell what the magic is emanating from, or is it just a general field of illusion?

Phos halts the party's progression. "Illusion magic up ahead."

We're tight! We're tight! I just keep my FB privacy locked down. I may or may not be a secret agent.

I don't think being a Pathfinder counts as being a secret agent. :P

Ok, y'all are making me jealous with all this GenCon talk. I'm going to curl up an cry now. If only I hadn't just spent $500 on a new bike! Hmm, maybe I can talk my fiance into delaying the wedding just a bit longer...

Anyway you kids have fun over there. I hope to catch up with y'all during next year's Con circuit. Have fun, be safe, remember to shower, and I'll chat with y'all on Sunday.

Her first PFS game was with Brentcent? Sweet mother of the Gods, is she ok? Dare I ask which scenario it was?

I'm crushed man. You got me right in the feels. I thought we were tight!

Friended.

Unfortunately GenCon doesn't look like it's in the stars for me this year. I hope to next year.

If you meet them, give Brent Bowser (our VL), Mike McNearney (Cbus VC) and Russell Akred (Cinci VC) some grief for me.

Gotcha, so down the steps we go!
