Satisfied that Barm's administrations seem sufficient, Teriq finally lowers his bow, and descends to the floor, the fiery wings absorbing back into his elemental form.
"Anyone see the rest of those missing runeplates?" He asks, looking around.
Hmm... I think got my damage wrong on those arrows... subtract 1 from the Iterative, Rapid, and hasted attack's damage. (accidently doubled the PBS +1. Which is correct for Manyshot, but not the others)
Rule question, regarding Discordant Voice.... since Manyshot is actually firing two arrows, but with just one attack roll... does the sonic damage happen on both arrows? Or just once for the whole thing?
Oh, and need to pay attention to the 30' limit on ranged weapons! Hadn't been before, sorry!
Going to assume the big one is the fossil golem, the spooky lady with 4 arms is the seraphis demon, and the white minotaur looking guy at the back is the Gallu demon/Thurl?
Teriq uses the movement bonuses granted by Daathiel to quickly move into the room, then after a quick look around, starts firing at the seraphis demon.
swift action, move, then full attack on (hopefully still flatfooted) Seraphis demon
Hail of arrows:
Edited to remove naturalist bonus I am going to let Daathiel go first, under the hope he starts his inspire. If he does not, just subtract 3 from each of these attack rolls, and ignore the sonic damage. Might be some soft cover from the golem
Teriq's fiery wings absorb back into his elemental body, and he quickly follows.
that ricochet hammer looks like it'd be a lot of fun on the right character.
If we see some sort of doorway or entry into a larger area, he will cast Protection from Evil on himself, and shield of faith on anyone that wishes it.
With everything in site now, Teriq goes back to his bow once more. Noticing Barm is not moving, at all.... he focuses his attacks on the nearer targets.
Full attack, starting on the Mohrg, then any left over on the demon
Any attacks that go towards the demon get an additional +1 to damage.
I was going to ignore the sonic damage... but the demon got held, so I assume its wing droning thing isn't going at the moment.
Question: We were under the effects of Haste... does the thing that slowed Freo... just cancel the haste, or is it overriding haste, and slowing him? Just curious on interaction.
Teriq's fiery wings reform, heat radiating off of them. He gives them a quick flap, rising into the air, and backwards, so he is right above Hania.
Swift to activate wings again, then 5' step back and up, to give a space for Frēodwēn to move into and shoot from.
He then utters a few divine words, as a faint aura suddenly radiates out from his person.
Casting Invisibility Purge... will have a radius of 70' ... so should go all the way to the back of the next room, and show both the demons for folks to target.
Teriq tries to identify what he's looking at, but fails miserably on both. Some sort of undead, and things with the heads of flies.
Whatever they are, if they are here, now, they are not friendly. He says a quick prayer, to guide his shots, then quickly aims his bow down the corridor, trying to send a volley over Barm at the creature he has the clearest line of sight to.
casting a quickened divine favor, then full attack
Volley of arrows:
Full attack on the green mohrg. Will likely be cover
If the mohrg falls over, then remaining shots at whatever he can get a line on.
"I'm sure its just there for ambiance." Teriq replies dryly, peering over Frēodwēn's shoulder. [b]"None on which we can properly appreciate from back here.
Despite his words, he holds his bow ready, waiting to follow whoever takes the lead, up the steps.
"I was there when she killed Jacquo." Teriq says, having listened to the conversation to that point, without interjecting.
"A challenge made, and a challenge accepted. There was no wrong doing." He sighs. "It was everything afterwards. She long ago lost sight of what was right."
The last seems directed at Hania.
"Absalom and the Pathfinders had nothing to do with your sister's death. You ran off without even trying to learn the truth of it. She was knowingly breaking the law, and ran afoul of Dalsine's fell plans and over-zealousness."
"But then to follow Torch? Who would happily kill a thousand innocents to get at one he feels wronged him, and pretend it justified? Or the Desimires, all of whom have sold their souls to hell long ago?"
"And then Thurl? Arguably worse than Torch, though at least he doesn't pretend he's the good guy."
"To walk free after all of that, without even attempting to right any of those wrongs? That would be the injustice."
Teriq is definitely not in favor of just letting her walk off scot free. We were tasked with bringing her back, not letting her go.
Teriq calls out in ignan, warning the others of the new foe appearing in the magma below... though only a couple of them, and the dragon, recognize the words.
Will save:1d20 + 15 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 15 + 1 + 3 = 20Well... made the DC, but the 1 is an auto fail... guess that last dragon left some scars...
The sight of the beast, brings back some rather unpleasant memories, and he finds his hands shaking slightly, as he brings his bow to bear, and aims at the dragon below.
Can we get an idea of heights? I know I have Teriq listed as 20' up... but that's 20' up from the level of the initial platform we came in on. Are the far platform, or the central pillar, or the side ledges similar heights? How far down to the lava?
With flame and magma flying from all directions, Teriq dodges and weaves inside his cloud of mist, easily avoiding all of it.
In response, he once again raises his bow, sending charged shafts in all directions.
Hail of arrows:
Start on Green, then if it falls, blue (to free up Barm to go after the pink one)... and any remaining shots on the red one to the upper right.
Oh, missed that, three rounds after the d-door. So ya, we'd all be on the far side by then.
And Teriq would have passed on the Bestow Grace earlier, so Daath can save a charge there Discordant Voice turns on with the Naturalist performance, correct? Included it in the damage below
Teriq is wary as they start across, staying near the others who are flying. As the drakes start to pour out of the fumarole above, he instantly brings his bow to bear!
He waits a moment, in case there are some inspiring words from Frēodwēn, before beginning to fire at the drake flying in behind Daathiel. He then shouts a quick prayer. Instantly a cloud of misty vapor surrounds him, spreading out twenty feet in all directions.
Delay, in case Frēodwēn does inspire courage, then full attack on the green drake by Daathiel, then cast a quickened obscuring mist, which spreads in a 20' radius around himself. He can see through the mists, am hoping the drakes can not! (Had bad luck with a dragon once that could... ouch)
So from what I'm reading, Frēodwēn d-doors Hania, Alie, and himself across to the far side.
Teriq, Barm, and Daathiel start to fly across.
Then the drakes show up on the third round.
That would put the fliers somewhere in the middle of the room, and all out of Haste range, correct? (with the typical 60' move).
So perhaps Barm would go for the upper left drake, then the lower left =)
"It does seem an obvious position to mount a defense." Teriq responds to Alie's comment, frowning slightly as he eyes the molten stone, and the cavern warily.
Before we head out again, Teriq will refresh his Mage Armor spell from his wand, as its duration is close to expiring UMD 13+:6d20 ⇒ (8, 10, 9, 5, 5, 18) = 55(only takes 6 tries! =)
Teriq slowly descends to the ground, eyes still wary for more enemies.
Eventually he lands once more, and stores his weapon.
"The size of this place..." He starts, glancing towards Alie. "It could take considerable time to locate a single skull in all of this."
"And most of these bones appear to have come from the lower niches. Those up above..." He points upwards to the higher alcoves. "Those that could not so easily be reached, the remains in those are still there."
Despite his misgivings, he lends his eyes to the search.
Content that the demons can no longer just teleport away to warn any others that might be lurking, Teriq returns to his bow, firing a quick barrage at the demon paralyzed by Alie's spell
Hopefully it won't be able to run off and warn its friends (had some bad experiences with this and teleporting demons!).
In a perfect world, it won't realize what just happened, and try anyway, wasting a turn in the process.
Jeeze, giving Barm a 5' step full attack, before it does anything at all, is not the way to success...
Will vs Frightful Presence:1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 15 + 1 = 30
From on high, Teriq levels his bow, and fires off a barrage of arrows at the monstrosity before them.
Hail of Arrows:
using blunt arrows, based on the DR info Daathiel gave us earlier So, all shots bypass blunt/magic/cold-iron/silver/adamantine/and alignment (all) DR's
Did not include Naturalist, as I'd moved too high before Daath started it Unsure if Frēodwēn started his inspire courage or not... if so, add 3 to both sides of all of these
Teriq immediately sprouts fiery wings again, and takes to the air.
swift action to reactivate the wings for 1 minute, then single move, straight up, and forward a touch to see around the corner. (flying at a 90, after haste, so 45' up, 10' forward (directly above Barm).
Additional Damage Dice: Some magic weapons deal additional dice of damage. Unlike other modifiers to damage, additional dice of damage are not multiplied when the attacker scores a critical hit.
Heh... nothing significant! Just a quick prayer to Sarenrae... I forgot to mention the curse restriction earlier, so just mentioned it now, so it wouldn't be a big surprise later, and so others would note its going on!
Teriq's fiery form continues to hover, shifting slightly to the right and up again, so he is ten feet above Alie.
currently at a +22 on fly, so automatically make the hover checks
Seeing the first of the labyrinth minotaurs fall, he turns his bow towards the second, as Hania engages it in melee.
He has a clean line from on high, and launches arrow after arrow at it, in quick succession.
5' step, up and to the right, then full attack on the purple labyrinth mino. If perchance it falls over, with arrows left to go, he'll fire at one of the thralls in the back, blue I suppose.
Hail of Arrows:
Same mods as before, except an addition +3 to attack/damage from Frēodwēn's inspire
I can only guess that it might have something to do with the .pdf to google slides conversion? (or is it the other way around)
Might be better without the pdf... We can't move our tokens around, or fill out the pc info, et al, on the pdf... all it does is create delay getting to the maps, and an extra click, from our end.
Don't suppose you could make the slides the default for the map link, rather than the converted pdf?
Oh, and I placed everyone's tokens (that weren't already there) on slide 3 a couple of days back, in roughly the discussed order of marching operations if it matters (though was probably not 100% accurate)
Initiative:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Knowledge (arcana) vs DC 23 (active spell 1):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 Knowledge (arcana) vs DC 25 (active spell 2):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Knowledge (planes) vs DC 26 (lab minos):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 Knowledge (nature) vs DC 14? (other minos):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
The unseen servant will really slow things down eventually... its 15' movement rate gets it left behind quickly... and it will end up vanishing a few rounds later as it gets out of range.
He says a few prayers, as he casts a blessing or two on himself and his companions.
Casting Life Bubble, splitting the duration on everyone. (will last 140 minutes on each) Then casting Freedom of Movement on himself. (also 140 minutes)
He then starts to store the remainder of his equipment.
Once done, he concentrates for a moment, saying a prayer to Sarenrae, then suddenly appears to immolate himself. His entire body is consumed by fire, each part slowly replaced by an exact copy, made of flame instead of flesh.
Using his form of flame revelation to become a Teriq-shaped medium fire elemental for the next 14 hours or so. The Polymorphic Pouch keeps the important equipment from getting absorbed.
He then begins removing the items he so recently stored, before taking a few moments to get a wand to work.
UMD:3d20 ⇒ (12, 10, 18) = 40 UMD the wand to cast Mage Armor on himself (as his armor gets absorbed when he changes form)
The fiery elf then nods to indicate his readiness.
Teriq listens to Kolm's words with a concerned frown.
"Definitely sounds like the work of Thurl." He says, as the dwarf finishes. "That man does have a love for mazes and Baphomet."
"Though these are not his usual stitched together abominations." He adds, nodding towards the piles of bones. "Either he's learned some new tricks, or they have already started to disturb and corrupt what remains lay interred inside."
Any Knowledge to perhaps know what those calcified bones are (or were)?
