Fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30
Fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23

It's actually pretty awesome that Ryushi can still contribute even through Physical resistance and being tapped out of useful spells. Even with the terrible rolls!

Fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24

Ryushi tries to trip the white statue again.

Katana is in the spot I was standing on before

◆ Trip
athletics vs reflex dc: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28
◆◆ 2 actions to ready single action Trip
Then Readies an action to trip it again, Trigger it tries to stand up.
MAP athletics vs reflex dc: 1d20 + 21 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 21 - 5 = 19

oof

◇ Ryushi drops his katana
◆ moves to statue that is not prone (white I think)
◆ attempts a trip Athletics vs reflex dc: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22
◆ moves back to safety.

hero point Athletics vs reflex dc: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22

last action is to stand up

Ryushi sighs as he sees the statue splattered by water but not budging at all. I think my katana is not useful here. Perhaps we stay away from their big hands? Who would know of such creatues? I do not feel it would be divine.

Ryushi holds his emblazoned shiled up to his face, closes his eyes and mutters a prayer to his god to grant them only one foe to fight at a time. A long and straight wall of formidable looking blades forms cutting one of the creatures hopefully off from the party and it's companion statue.

◆◆◆ Cast 6th level Blade Barrier Reflex DC 28, put in a line on the map to simulate.

Adding 10 minutes to rest tracker if I may for Ciri healing

DC 20 heal: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (10) + 23 = 33

crit success

heal: 4d8 + 10 ⇒ (8, 8, 4, 6) + 10 = 36

108 health if allowed

per +2 and win ties: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (2) + 20 = 22

Updated status to track spells cast, removed hero point tracker to reduce redundancy with DM Alias.

Question: Does this mean we've cleared out the temple?

Ryushi attempts to answer but really it's a lot of wheezing noises.

Ryushi maintains positive attunement for 7 more rounds, so 42 seconds later.

Positive attunement heal: 7d8 ⇒ (7, 2, 7, 8, 7, 7, 4) = 42

Ryushi grits his teeth as he realizes the nature of the pollen makes it pointless to try and heal his allies. Instead he

◆) Maintains the Positive Attunement
◆) Moves in
◆) Slahes
◆) Moves out (Haste)

The Dragon disappears away as not sustained.

Slash Katana: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40

Huh. I'd donate that to a Will save if I could.

Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 = 14
Doubled to 28
Deadly d8 katana: 1d8 ⇒ 2
Total 30
Crit Spec: Flatfooted until end of Ryushi's next turn.

Postive Heal: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Ugh, ready action only allows a single or free action to work so can't ready a two action spell. I'll hang around in case freedom of movement becomes valuable but for now I'm going to do the hit and run thing as well.

The start of turn stipulation is making Neutralize Poison pointless.

GM, does that mean Ryushi has 3 hero points? He used up one a little bit ago.

Question GM, if I'm able to sucessfully counteract a poison on either Selshine or Max, would they able to take their turn to get out of range of the pollen this turn?

Next question... It seems to me Selshine might be able to be out of pollen range, move in to toss a bomb and then run out again? or is better for Max to do some range stuff in the same fashion?

Either way if Max and Selshine are done with the turn it would make more sense for Ryushi to wait for next turn to do the Neutralize Poison and this turn would just try to hit the thing.

Also Ryushi just had the one hero point right?

I'm going to wait on Zurrus to see if I should run in and try to pull off a touch spell

Alright, I've got a Freedom of movement and neutralize poison spell both at touch range. Freedom of movement is guaranteed so I'll use it on one person next turn if need be.

Can that person then pull me out of range of the monster please? Lol.

If haste is an option Ryushi would be able to move in cast spell and move back.

Neutralize poison isn't guaranteed and I'm not sure how it reacts to this poison effect. I believe after I cast it I'd have to roll 15 or above to get my +18 to 33 and successfully counteract.

Drake will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Ryushi
◆ Maintains Dragon
◆ Maintains Attunement
◆ Moves around to get in one movement range of Guillas in case the monk needs some magical help to get out.

Positive Attunement Heal: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Offf, we're basically health tanking this thing and running out of HP very fast. If Guillas gets out I think he should flurry and move out of range. Anyone who's an actual threat (Guillas and Cirri) should hit and move back forcing it to chase, those who are fascinated can take their turns getting beat on, and hopefully the dragon is one of them.

Maybe getting damaged will help people snap out of stupor and they can get out of pollen range? Guillas and Cirri should be able to kite this thing.

Flame drake Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Regular fail

Hit... from... far? Ryushi suggests, very much out of ideas.

He sustains the dragon and casts Positive ATtunement on himself.

◆ Sustain Dragon

◆◆Cast Positive Attunement on self.

Immediate Heal: 1d8 ⇒ 4
Heal at end of turn: 1d8 ⇒ 5

Flame drake Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 crit fail

Sure but please let me know exactly what I'm missing so I can take care of it faster and not hold the game up.

Ryushi, knowing how hurt he is, spends a moment to sustain the dragon, then moves back to not be a target anymore and be in range of helping Zurrus. Finally he raises his shield.
◆ sustain dragon summon
◆ stride behind Zurrus
◆ raise shield.

The only thing I can guess I might be missing is the Flame Drake's will save. Would really help if you could tell me what hasn't happened yet.

Flame drake Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Regular fail

I will do that tomorrow if I can, for now I just put it in Ryushi's stat page at the top.

Ryushi is immune.

Yes, ok, I am aware that I give up an action for the Drake to have two. I'm not sure what I'm missing, other than there's no reaction which I did miss.

In the end anything in the stat block could become relevant but the traits in addition to summoned are:

CE Large Dragon Fire

It might be simplest if I run the summoned creature as just attacking to the best of its ability as I am familiar with the statblock.

Summoned creatures are far lower level than Ryushi so they're really there for distraction more than actually doing damage.

only one round duration on blessing of defiance sadly. I think it got Guillas to crit success though!

◆◆◆ Cast Summon Dragon
Ryushi focuses again and then expends another burst of divine favor to summon a Flame Drake on the opposite side of the plant.

Shizuru grant us a distraction! Ryushi asks of his god.

I think I control my summons?

The Dragon immediately goes into a frenzy of attacks

◆◆
Draconic Frenzy three attacks

Fang: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Fang2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Tail3: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

They all miss which is not that suprising to Ryushi, he does sigh though.

+4 Will save guys, just have to get a crit success and stop worrying about the pollen.

◆◆◆
Ryushi gathers himself and then with a loud shout, expends a 5th level spell and grants all his allies resolve to fight against the dastardly plant's will sapping abilities.

Better... Late... Ryushi wheeze.

Ok... Ryushi also has https://2e.aonprd.com/Spells.aspx?ID=871

5th level blessing of defiance. As three actions can give everyone a +4 bump to Will saves...

Welcome to the group!

Running is an option, but also Ryushi could bust out some high level spells. He's not damage though and the best he can do rn is summon a flame Drake. He has a Freedom of movement as well so should be able to get Zurrus out, but then we have to maybe kite it. Does Cirri know the vine's speed?

Fort Save: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24
Regular save
Health 92-28-24=40 left

Ryushi struggles against his bonds, and calls out to Shizuru for help.

◆ Cast True Strike (verbal only so no DC flat check needed even when grabbed)
◆ True Strike Escape (it has the attack trait!)
Athletics Escape: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (7) + 21 = 28
Athletics Escape: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (19) + 21 = 40
Choosing 40
And, using the rush of strength, is able to break free with his plea to his goddess

◆Then he moves back behind Cirri. We might need to leave. I am unable to heal.

He wheezes.

Completely forgot Resolve bumped me up to crit success on the pollen

While able to resist much of the creature's attacks, Ryushi is still pretty bruised. Still, it is now his turn to attack.

◆ Attack
Inspired Attack: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 1 = 30
Damage: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 6) + 4 + 1 = 13
◆ Cast True Strike with a martial shout mimicking his god.

Fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39
Fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33
Fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

Three passes, one crit, so 26+11+11=48 damage. So at 92 health

Will: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (5) + 21 = 26

Fail Will save though :(

◆ Ryushi attempts to use his Athletics to Escape
Athletics check: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22
Then again
◆ MAP -5 Escape
Athletics check: 1d20 + 21 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 21 - 5 = 25
◆ MAP -10 Escape
Athletics check: 1d20 + 21 - 10 ⇒ (7) + 21 - 10 = 18

Just... kill it. He wheezes.

Forgot -1 for Sickened, not that it matters

Save Sickened: 1d20 + 21 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 21 - 1 = 26

Will try and post my action by tonight, travelling.

Will Save: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31
Spend Hero point Will Save!: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (18) + 21 = 39

Resolve crit success

For a split second Ryushi relaxes into the oncoming grip of the strange creature before forcing himself out of it with heroic resolve.

I think it wishes to eat me! he says with some measure of panic.

Perception Initiative: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 2 = 32

Ryushi stays ahead of the others, as they investigate.

Yup just pop into existence Lady Z. That's what Zurrus and I did. Roll initiative!

Ryushi, with his katana and shield is ready to go in the frontline.

I shall need some healing if possible

While Zurrus focuses cirri attempts master treatment on Ryushi treat wounds: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 21 + 2 = 42

crit success heal: 4d8 + 30 ⇒ (7, 5, 2, 5) + 30 = 49

Full health!

Welcome to the crew, fellow divine caster!

Ryushi decides to go all out.

He strikes 3 times

inspire courage: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 1 = 30
inspire courage: 1d20 + 20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 1 - 5 = 21
inspire courage: 1d20 + 20 + 1 - 10 ⇒ (9) + 20 + 1 - 10 = 20

But only the first two hit, the second barely thanks to flank and inspire courage.

Slash damage inspire: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 5) + 4 + 1 = 14
Slash damage inspire: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 + 1 = 12

Ryushi moves to stand over the prone Cirri (if allowed, otherwise moves up to blue, and throwing caution to the wind attacks twice and does not bother to raise his shield.

◆Move

◆Attack 1
Inspire courage attack: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 20 + 1 = 33
Crit thank you zurrus
Slash damage inspire to double: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 + 1 = 13
Deadly d8 on top: 1d8 ⇒ 6

◆Attack 2
Inspire courage attack on flat footed: 1d20 + 20 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 20 + 1 - 5 = 24

Slash damage inspire to double: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2) + 4 + 1 = 13

Ok links for critical first:
Warpriest Third Doctrine means Ryushi gets katana crit spec as Katana is Shizuru favoured weapon.
https://2e.aonprd.com/Doctrines.aspx?ID=3

Katana is in sword group:
https://2e.aonprd.com/Weapons.aspx?ID=55

Sword crit spec is to make flatfooted till start of turn
https://2e.aonprd.com/WeaponGroups.aspx?ID=15

Grievous rune makes crit spec better, for swords it's flatfooted till end of turn.
https://2e.aonprd.com/Equipment.aspx?ID=298

Ok Ryushi has 'breath of life' spell as a reaction so if Cirri goes to Dying 4 then Ryushi has a heal covered! It's his last heal though really. In the meanwhile will just try and end the threats.

Uh, I'm not sure what happened? I thought Cirri and Ryushi were passing all our Fort saves?

Edit: Oohhh.. regular damage!

Finding himself knocked down yet again, Ryushi grumbles as he does what he did last time.

struggles to his feet ◆
Lashes out at the Green one ◆

Attack with inspire courage: 1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 1 = 39

Slash damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 = 14
And raise his shield AC 31 ◆

Ah.. Zurrus, perhaps you could heal me? he asks of the bard. I find myself quite hurt!

Katana has deadly d8 by the way AND crit specialization PLUS Grevious rune makes target flatfooted until END of my next turn

Deadly d8: 1d8 ⇒ 2
