<br />
Back dm-ing PF1 after a long break and boy have I forgotten a lot.</p>
<p>I'd like an npc to have a cockatrice in their pocket à la <i> bag of tricks</i> and throw this at the party to distract them. I thought there was a spell that did this but all I can think of is shrink item. I want it to be an item and not have my bad guy be, say, a summoner. </p>
<p>Am I missing something obvious? </p>
<p>Cheers!</p>Hi folks,

<p>Let's see, they got rid of Setia then banished Shakti with a dispel good! Blew through the SR and she fluffed the save. Caused some strife as that spell is now called "dispel loot" :-)</p>
<p>A few people thought Chargammon's price was also killing all the consorts and were now worried they'd failed. The rest figured he'd be more than happy with the death of the chirpy do-gooder Eiramanthus. Off to the garden, which was beautiful... and held a treant chatting to a some sort of dryad. </p>
<p>The casters dropped a cloudkill on them, and some sort of icy mist that killed lots of flowers, cute little fairies and grass, while the rogue/ bomber firebombed the biggest tree. Some undead went to chop at the other trees near the entrance - basically "let's see how riled we can make the treefolk."</p>
<p>Imagine their surprise when the treant turned out to be a very pissed off dragon. He caught a few in a reverse gravity and closed to administer punishment, while Sakura shot the monk with a finger of death before disappearing. No sense wasting time. Unfortunately she immediately got tagged with a glitterdust from a lucky guess, so that was annoying.</p>
<p>She spent some time chasing the cleric but with sheltered vitality and stone body her aging trick did nothing. Eiramanthus tagged some udead withhis breath, but the party members all saved, and the ones he targeted all had evasion... bummer. The cleric dropped a wave of green slime on Sakura's tree, and then the vampire and monk professionally dismantled her, twig by twig.</p>
<p>Eiramanthus pulled out his last resort - antimagic field - and got a few good hits in before being critted from behind by Helbrand, followed by a critical sneak attack in the front. That was that. </p>
<p>A few rounds later the gargoyles arrived but they didn't last long either. The party solved the riddle, entered the tower, opened the chess board and had fun with the hoard. After that it was be polite to the browsing stranger, get healed by the harm trap and chat with Dessiter before heading off to murder the King. And Brigit. And lots of knights.</p>
<p>They've just landed on Chargammon's island and met some knights. They weren't happy to see them, and spent an infernal crevasse and a blasphemy to clear them up. I need a few ideas, so I'll post in Book 5 :-)</p>WagnerSika wrote:@carborundum

They have great big augmented zombies along, and almost infinite healing when they take the time. (Dread necromancer) So purely from an action economy viewpoint he needed bodyguards/ damage soaks. They lasted three or four rounds, which was nice. Ara Mathra got a holy word off, tried to plane shift someone up to heaven, flew out of melee range, and fired off a dispel. He seems impressive now, and when we stopped he hadn't been touched :)</p>Good thoughts, thanks!

Halfway now, I guess :)</p>
<p>We've played again and the group have stormed through the catacombs, wiping out ghost paladins left, right and centre. I couldn't see how many there were in total but after they'd taken out twelve or thirteen I got a bit bored :-)</p>
<p>The priests and guards were a mere speedbump, though the <i>harm</i> trap was appreciated by the undead party members. They'll be disappointed when it stops working outside the Cathedral. </p>
<p>The Chalkydri freaked them out once I used a pic of the girl from The Ring, so the cleric used his last <i>dispel good</i>. Nailed the attack, and the spell resistance, and she rolled a 2 on the save so poof!</p>
<p>Round the corner, no longer worried about traps, the rogue fell down the pit :-D Then we made it to Father McC. I had him with a summoned Archon which I basically made up. I used the Movanic Deva stats but gave her <i>projected image, flame strike, empowered scorching ray</i> and (3.5) <i>Orb of Sound</i> as SLAs. The real angel was with the Abbot in the next room, but the doorway was now an illusory one-way mirror. As the Abbot cast his buffing spells the party took AGES messing with the image of the angel. </p>
<p>She was standing in the empty room as the party advanced one at a time (for some bizarre reason). They ignored the celestial text and got burnt a little (mass fire resistance). As each came in and attacked the projected image, they (obviously) missed. I happily fake-rolled the "miss chance" dice and their will saves. The first four party members failed the will save and were convinced this was a big scary angel with <i>displacement</i> or <i>blur</i>. No-one could touch her and she darted around blasting them with fire and sound. </p>
<p>Once the Abbot cut loose with a <i>holy word</i>, they knew there was at least one more enemy somewhere. They decided to send one person to break the mirror, and when he stumbled through it (blind) instead of hitting it he got a serious longsword injury. Then came a blade barrier and the party had to stumble away to regroup and get the big guns out. A <i>greater dispel</i> took down the <i>blade barrier</i>, blindness was removed by various means and then the inner sanctum was stormed. The vampire got his hands on the real angel and sucked her backt o her own plane, then the last <i>greater dispel</i> ruined the Abbot's chances. A string of 18, 19, 20's got rid of <i>frightful aspect, true seeing, freedom of movement, holy aura, death ward, divine power, protection from energy</i> and <i>greater spell immunity </i>. He was left with... <i>aid.</i></p>
<p>10 or 15 seconds later it was all over. Great fun, lots of tactical stuff, and mostly because of the stuff the players thought of themselves due to failed saves at the beginning.</p>
<p>QUESTION
<br />
They're planning to rest before going back upstairs, and there isn't really anyone left to stop them. Would Ara Mathra come looking now the ritual has stopped?</p>Three months - ouch! Halfway now, I guess :)

<p>Has that been removed completely? If so, fair enough, just add more to encounters. I'm curious as to why, and still want to check if the CR (level) has been adjusted accordingly.

<p>The devas had their moment when the antimagic kicked in, but in the end they were simply not tough enough. The necromancer then used his <i>all tools vest</i> to produce a small anvil and a selection of armorers tools, before hacking some wings off and fixing them to the back of the cleric's breastplate like a cloak. A heavy, cumbersome, flappy cloak. Never mind the extra armour check penalty, as long as the enemy can see the huge symbol of Asmodeus he's painted in blood on the back...</p>
<p>The party have now kicked in the front door and were merrily slaughtering the legion archons with <i>black tentacles</i> when the ghaele decided to join in. She opened with chain lightning aimed at the cleric and his shocking ornamental amputated wings. Unfortunately for her he had <i>spell resistance</i> running and almost everyone else had evasion. Even the minotaur zombie made its reflex save!</p>
<p>I should add that in the entire session I never rolled higher than a 14, and I rolled eight 1s. </p>
<p>Anyway, the cleric was getting overconfident and decided to charge the Ghaele with a <i>dispel good</i>. For once he never made the spell resistance check, and in her retaliatory <i>prismatic spray</i> he got petrified!</p>
