"Very interesting. I wonder if Drendle Deng was expecting this?" -Posted with Wayfinder
If we end up without someone getting locked out, I have no issues with people doubling up -Posted with Wayfinder
I'm of the opinion that spells are far too reliable in Pathfinder. Save or suck simply isn't fun, and being able to have it successfully work more often than not, means it isn't fun most of the time. Combat just got tweaked so that attackers are hitting less often, and they are generally going to put out less attacks. Why should offensive magic be anywhere near as reliable in this same situation?
If it ends up being a problem still, I'll get chronicles covered. Consider a VO informed. -Posted with Wayfinder
Looks like Monk and Investigator thus far? I'm leaning storyteller medium or magus kapenia dancer to fit the themes and try to compliment some. (I have a number of other options, but thinking about it, I'm going to throw out blood kineticist and blind priest as options, due to the likelihood of bloodless and incorporeal enemies in what I assume is an undead heavy adventure.)
Khafra and Quazel go about destroying the eggs, having no problems doing so before any more hatch giant centipedes. Ingrge peeks into the next room seeing an expansive warehouse. The purple ooze spreads over more than 100 feet of wall, pulsating rhythmically. A large fly-like insect buzzes over the purple goo, probing it's probiscus into some kind of objects cocooned in the substance. A man in yellow boots and covered in the familiar ooze watches the fly from nearby.
Galahad charges into the larger birds that feed on the dead goblin, cutting into one and leaving it dead. Around you, dozens upon dozens of birds take to the air, taunting Galahad with their caws and swirling about menacingly. The birds closest to the goblin, not wanting to give up on their meal, instead ready to swarm about Galahad, obviously more aggressive and bloodthirsty than normal birds.
GM screen:
for Avoiding most blows, but taking another hit from Urah, Laszo counter attacks, punching back at Urah and connecting with a sickening crunching sound as he reveals his fist is as hard as stone. Fortunately, the pain and damage isn't as bad as the sound, and Urah suffers only bruising. Initiative (bold may act)
Gozzamer unleashes a missile at one of the goblins on the raised platform, stricking him squarely in the chest. The goblins begins to slump forward, then falls from the edge of the structure, landing down on the ground with a thud. His wolf is less successful in it's attempt to gnaw on the goblin on the ground. Conditions:
ROUND 2
Cornered and desperate, Laszo reaches into his satchel, pulls another potion, and quickly drinks it, hoping he won't regret the temporary opening he's left his enemies. Initiative (bold may act) ROUND 4
ROUND 4
Manus gets a good look ahead, and sees Galahad striding forward. Crowes leer at you from every direction. Rocks on every nearby hilltop and branches of every tree seem to house more or the black birds. Your ears are filled by the sounds of cawing in every direction as Galahad heads towards a group of the birds on the ground feasting on the body of a dead goblin.
gm screen:
Fate connects with the alchemist as he drinks his potion and Urah follows up with a Kurkri strike. Laszlo temporarily slips on a newly slick surface, but manages to keep his footing.
GM screen:
Lunevi puts out any continuing fires, as Urah tries to finish off the alchemist. Urah's burns instantly begin to disappear, although there was enough damage that his skin still shows some signs of blistering. Getting desperate, Laszo steps back again, pulling out a potion and quickly drinking it. His wounds instantly heal, as he seems to be in almost perfect fighting shape.
ROUND 3
ROUND 4
Gilli takes a shot at Laszo as Ella and Fate continue to work the alchemist into a corner. Laszo takes a couple more wounds and looks to be pretty bad off. Initiative (bold may act)
ROUND 3
gm screen:
hit The goblins all unleash a volley at the nagaji, but in their surprise at his advance, two of the three fire wide. The third goblin aims straight, but Sarhashil manages to swat the bullet aside at the last moment.
Initiative (bold may act)
Manus moves slightly closer to get a better view, but stays within the forested cover. A large clearing in the forest, apparently damaged by fire during the goblinblood war lies littered with remains, mostly likely dating back to a battle in that war. Some of the bodies (likely goblins based on the size) are fresher, along with some large animal carcasses. Hundreds of surprisingly large crows feast on the remains. perception dc15:
Although not much is left of the goblins, you spot traces of purple goo on several of the corpses. planes dc12: These crows are tainted by demon bile consumed from the goblin corpses, and are now fiendish.
[spoiler=gm screen]
Laszo avoids several more strikes, but feels a streak of bad luck coming over him. Laszo steps back again, throwing another bomb, this time aiming at Urah. In spite of his luck, he hits his intended target this time and the bomb explodes, throwing flames into both Ella and Gilli. Initiative (bold may act)
ROUND 3
gm screen:
Initiative Basic warehouse supplies, such as ropes, hammers, crowbars, and cargo nets, hang from the northern wall of this room. Several crates stand against the western wall. Doors stand against the east and south walls. A pulsating mass of purplish-black sludge lies along the floor near the southern wall between the two doors, and long filaments anchor the substance to the walls and ceiling. A large, strange egg sac lies at the center of the slime, with tiny legs visibly scrabbling beneath its surface. Three other nearby egg sacs have already burst. Initiative (no surprise, bold may act)
Ingrge finds humanoid tracks leading into the warehouse. Looks as something was dragged inside, possibly numerous somethings. The slightly ajar doors are the southern double doors. Even with them being slightly ajar, you can't really see in them with the purple sludge that is covering not only the doorway, but seems to be seeping through the building along about a 40' section of the wall. The northern door where the spiders came from has much less purple sludge on it, although it seems someone had purposely put the spiders in the sludge.
gm screen:
Laszo smiles, showing off both the gaps in his teeth, and his confidence at the current situation. He takes a single step back from Ella, pulling come kind of small alchemical device as he does so. He hurls it at the Ella's left side, obviously using the swashbuckler to shield the bug from whatever substance it is. However, Ella is able to hit the device in mid-air before it reaches her, causing it to explode. Fire rains down for a moment as Laszo's smile changes to a look of fear as his eyes go wide open. Laszo, Ella, and the beetle are all caught in the blast. Initiative (bold may act) ROUND 1
ROUND 2
Truddig splashes fire on both Ingrge and the spiders, raising several blisters on the half-elf but seemingly having no effect whatsoever on the spiders that cover him. This seems to spur him into action however as he finally moves away from the swarm and wipes as many spiders as he can off of himself. Both Quazel and Khafra unleash their acid flasks at the swarm and while Quazel misses his mark barely splashing the bugs, Kharfa gets a direct hit for maximum effect, dispersing the creatures.
COMBAT OVER
gm screen:
Laszo quickly drinks what he pulled from his coat, and you realize it wasn't likely the drug you are seeking. He whistles to the nearby pipe, and you can hear scurrying from within.
ROUND 1
The Katroomie lowers itself lower then tastes it. "Ah and excellent tribute indeed. I will allow you to pass through my domain. The goblins are at the edge of the forest where it meets the mountains. They have a fortress on a cliff there. If you follow the river, it will lead you right to them. However, there is an old battlefield. You can hear the crows for a ways before you reach it. You should avoid that, though the river passes there. Something has happened to the crows, and the only thing worse than a murder of crows is a murder of giant demon crows."
