So the PCs carry on their conquest of the Vale. Torture and pyramid building factor high on their list of things to do.
Minions man the gate.
Deciding against hitting the phoenix, the villains go after the cathedral first. The dispatch the archons guarding the docks and Lea. Then they realize they need more information to get thru the labyrinth.
Next session I suspect they will uncover the answers to the labyrinth, either from the living or via speak with dead. Now to 'prepare' the Master & the Oracle for the fight! :)
The players are still having a blast with this adventure and adventure path. :)

I've finally come to realize why Ara Mathra has been sitting wrong with so many of us all this time, and why the Sunlord IS the better choice for a substitute. Math. Ara Mathra isn't CR 16, he's CR 14. The advancement isn't enough. He should have 20 HD, not 18. Also, the AC is missing 1 natural armor per HD. So at 20 HD it should be three higher than what it is, and at current it's still 1 natural armor too low. That being said, at 18 HD, Ara Mathra should have four attacks, not just three. Another reason he doesn't seem to hold up.
While the suggestion for the stronger Sunlord is probably a good fit, it's not completely balanced. It's guess work at converting a 3.5 npc. I make this suggestion instead, and what I've told my friend who's taken over the campaign to do. Keep Ara Mathra as-is, but with proper adjustments (ie. +1 natural armor, add 4th attack, +2 SR, etc). He's CR 14. However, to make him a proper CR 16, add the +2 CR Archangel template from 4 Winds/Purple Duck Games's Tome of Monsters. The elemental immunities won't add to anything, but fast healing 10 and Holy Word at-will, definitely shall. Having it 3/day is nice, but at-will is better.
Description Quote: "A deity will occasionally select an angel or archon to take a position of leadership among his brethren. The archangel – or metatron, as they are sometimes called – may be in command over all angels of its type, or more commonly in charge of a squadron set to a certain task. More often than not, the archangel acts as a mediator between its deity and mortals or other angels or archons. A number of mortals mistakenly believe the archangel speaking to them is the voice of their god, when ultimately all the metatron is doing is delivering a message."
That is perfect, in my eyes.
I made Ara Mathra a planetar with the advanced template and the PCs still killed him fairly easily.

Somehow it seems wrong that your players could take on a CR 17 with AC 36.
I just looked up the planetar. It's missing its 4th attack as well. That seems rather odd to me. Did Paizo forget that at BAB 16 you get a 4th strike?|

I got Mark of Purple Duck Games to post the Archangel template on his wiki site.
How did you get to those numbers on the advanced Ara Matra?
I assumed you used the monster creation table: Creature Hit die and take the CR-1 for outsiders? (ie, 14 at CR 12, 18 at CR 14 and 20 at CR 16)
Personally, I rather thnk the CR and HD tables are confusing as Asmodeus' playground, and do not wholly apply to Angels to begin with.
Look at the Planetar, which at CR 16 only has 17 HD.
You could also argue that you would use the monster advancement table.
http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/monsters/monsterAdvancement.html
According to that table you would need to go up 80 hp (which would equate to 7.7 HD), meaning you could even go to 22 HD for Ara Matra, or would that be too radical an assumption?
Other question, the only class who would benefit from Helbrand in the campaign I am running is an Inquisitor. Seems giving him a bane weapon is rather silly. Any idea how to re-skin Helbrand?

To answer the first question: that'd be too radical an assumption. The to-hit and saves would make him more powerful than a CR 16 is. But yes, I did look at the creation table, and it's the only way I know people have used it. I wish it was as easy as 3.5 where it stated that +2 HD = +1 CR for outsiders, or +1 HD = +1 CR for class levels. That'd make life so much simpler. And it's more than just HD that make a CR. It's what they're AC, saves, resistances, damage, ability scores, etc are as well. If we truly went with the advancement table, a golem would never be more than a CR 10 or 12 because their saves and hp are stupid low.
For the other question, just change Bane to Truebane. It's 3.5 and is a +3 ability, which makes the weapon all the better. The ability reads: When wielded, the weapon begins as a 'Bane' weapon vs. the wielder's creature type. At the end of any round the weapon injures a creauture, it changes to a 'Bane' weapon vs. the last creature it injured for 1 round. If the weapon goes 1 round without injuring a creature, it reverts back to being 'Bane' vs. the wielder's creature type.
It's 3.5 so you could argue that the weapon property is expensive and drop it to a +2 instead.
Well, I just plugged it in to the Monster Builder on d20pfsrd and added 8 HD. Besides it adding size increase it wasn't all that bad.
As far as I can see 20 HD seems reasonable, but the monster creation table does indicate 22. I figured 20 HD with maybe an increase in size would be decent challenge. Top of my head it would do 2d6+18 plus solid blow (ex power attack) had 33 AC and an odd 300 hp. More HP than a Planetar and slightly better damage iirc, but the Planetar wins on casting, so meh.
I'll look into true bane. Maybe I'll start with the unholy property instead. Maybe work in a Hammer-the-gap like property vs good outsiders in or something.

I forgot that, that even existed. The only problem I have with that is it's not 100% accurate. Maybe 80%. You still have to do skills, sometimes saves, and additional attacks gained from base attacks. Some are more accurate than others, depending on the creature. It's possible Gary used that too. Never know.
So I'm coming up on the final battle for my player soon. She hasn't bothered to put out any of the flames yet. Am I correct in understanding that the first two flames *need* to be put out in order to turn off the wall of flame? Should I make her go back if she hasn't put them out by the time she gets to the end?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but 409 is a lot of posts to wade through.

Yes, the PC needs to take out all of the fire to drop the wall. They're the protectors. Until you get passed them, there's no going forward.
Anyone else find a slight flaw in the Movanic Deva's tactics?
They atart out by activating antimagic field, then employ their holy smite and flaming greatswords. Uh... how can they use spell-like abilities and magical weapons in their antimagic field...?
Seems a bit odd to me, unless they are somehow immune to their own field.

They're not. Well, one wouldn't be. Antimagic field is a ranged attack. You would have one cast the spell, make sure the other person is out, then cast outside. The person casting it can move outside the field without it following him. It's not flawed, it's just weird.
kevin_video, Antimagic field is an emanation centered on the caster that moves with the caster. It cannot be used as a ranged attack.
Because that is the range of the emanation from the center.
I know, it is a bit confusing to have a range instead of just an area but that is how they word effects centered on the caster.
If the range was 0' while the area was 10' then spell could not function since the range is smaller than the area due to this rule:
A spell’s range indicates how far from you it can reach, as defined in the range entry of the spell description. A spell’s range is the maximum distance from you that the spell’s effect can occur, as well as the maximum distance at which you can designate the spell’s point of origin. If any portion of the spell’s area would extend beyond this range, that area is wasted. Standard ranges include the following.
Also, the spell description specifically states that the spell is centered on you (the caster) and moves with you.
Range 10 ft.
Area 10-ft.-radius emanation, centered on you
Duration 10 min./level (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance see text
An invisible barrier surrounds you and moves with you. The space within this barrier is impervious to most magical effects, including spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. Likewise, it prevents the functioning of any magic items or spells within its confines.
If you go through the various emanation spells you will see a difference between the "Alarm" types, that have a standard range that differs from the area and are centered on a space, from the "Antilife Shell" types that are centered on the caster and have a range that is identical to the area.

Tomorrow, we're going to finish this book. I will use the insane rants I found on richard dawkins reads hate mail to let the angels speak their minds a bit. Replace God with Sarenrae a couple times and you're all set.
"I will look forward to observing from my post in heaven the exquisite tortures you will suffer at the hands of the just and loving Sarenrae you have rejected."
I couldn't make it up if I tried. I just love those adorable religious trolls.
For Ard Mithra I think I am going to use the stats for the Herald of Iomedea but my group is some time away from this

I'm on fire this week. No, not literally.
Changes I made to WotW--Book 3, part 4.
Also be on the lookout for my update on Bestiary 5 monsters I thought would likely fit. I thumbed through it last night while getting set up for my revisit to this AP campaign. It won't get posted here though. You'd need to follow my Tumblr for that.
|
|
Changes I made to WotW--Book 3, part 5.
I put up the Bestiary 5 list as well. Small write-ups as I only briefly went through it, so it's not something I'm adding to the individual writes ups.
|
|
And with this, the story aspect of Book 3 is officially done. Next will be the side quests that were originally given in Book 2 (namely the ring of Princess Iris), as well as a few other things to help stave off boredom for the PCs during their three months of winter.
Changes I made to WotW--Book 3, part 6.
Wow. I quite literally did this book in a week.
|
|
The final entry of Book 3.
Changes I made to WotW--Book 3, part 7.
I was thinking of doing Book 4 relatively soonish, but I think I'll take a break for a while. It would seem that my entries are going unread and unliked. Could be because I'm doing too many at once, or what's written doesn't feel relevant to another's game.
I have looked at your stuff and not got round to commenting. Mainly because I am still running part 2 and have not worked out in detail all my changes for part 3 , also I tend to only post detailed thoughts on stuff I have already run (such as NPC stats in the part 2 thread) this is because I prefer not to have stuff out in the open where a player could see it. (Not that I think my players look at GM threads for games they are playing in but I am paranoid).

(Not that I think my players look at GM threads for games they are playing in but I am paranoid).
I'm just used to seeing "liked" or "marked as favourite" when I come on here. A few people have either abandoned the threads or the game itself. Throne of Night is even more dead in the water. One guy that frequented on here and through PMs disappeared about four weeks ago.
Not unread or unliked, I just never remember to actually clicking the like button. Rude of me I know.
All of my pc's are from a single extended old noble family, I am intending that sometime towards the end of book 3 /start book 4 they will discover this long last familily tomb and become aware that it holds secrets of the start of their families links to devil worship, given that I expect them to seek out and explore the tomb
I was looking over Mitra's article the other day. It's fairly decent, since it details the three aspects of Mitra, the internal structure of the priesthood, and how the church fits into the politics of Talingarde.
However, it does talk way more about the church and it's politics then it does about Mitra itself. I was hoping for details on his realm, servitors, history with Asmodeus, paladin code, et cetera.
I read Inner Sea Gods and Inner Sea Faiths not too long ago, and would love to see an in-depth article along those lines for Mitra. Maybe someone will write up boons and obediences for him.
In many ways Talingarde is meant to be setting neutral and able to slot into any fantasy world the gm likes. I suspect this is why there are no names for any gods other than Asmodeus and Mithra , giving details of the relationship between Mithra and Asmodeus would pin the world down and make it harder to slide Talingarde into say Golarion. I suspect this is why there is no write up of Asmodeus for Talingarde.
I have written up obediences for Asmodeus and the devil lords , but as only npc's would have those obediences for Mithra and really very few would expect to have them at a signifigant level (the Princess, Chief Inquisitor , maybe some of the clerics in book 3 or the King ) it would be a lot of effort to produce 9 Obediences and then kill off the people with them quickly.

During Combat Her preferred mode of combat is hiding until she announces her presence with a mighty roar hopefully catching all her enemies within the great cone. Shen then uses, wall of force, to isolate her foes so she can fight them one at a time. She leaps into combat using her fearsome pounce to grab and maul her enemies. Once that victory is won, she uses, heal, or , cure critical wounds, and repeats the procedure until all that invade the Hall of the Huntress are laid low.
Lea is not interested in taking prisoners. All who invade her Hall are worthy only death for their crime.
Morale Lea knows that if she dies she will both be banished from this plane and have proven herself an unworthy guardian. Fanatical about seeing that neither occurs, she fights to the death to defend her charge.

If she detects that a foe she is fighting is not resistent to fire then she uses, fireball, and ,flame strike, to quickly remove them from the battle.
If badly wounded, she uses flame jump to travel to the Guardian Flame (M-3) and there uses its healing properties to restore herself. If the enemies are still in her temple. She then returns and reignites the battle. She will use this strategy again and again until she is either dead or the enemies are purged from her mountain top.

Before Combat The oracle can sense the villains approaching and casts, sanctuary, and ,magic circle against evil, on herself.
During Combat Sambethe does all she can to support the Master and to keep him combatant. She heals his wounds, dispels magical effects that afflict him and restores his strength. If there is ever a round where he needs no healing then she uses, flame strike, to damage his enemies.
If however finally the Master falls, she casts, righteous might, upon herself and joins the fight personally. She uses her healing spells upon herself to keep her in the battle. She uses holy word to gain advantage against her foes and she presses the attack. She uses her every spell with wanton abandon. The time for half measures is over.

Just to put it out there, if you have a copy of Pathfinder Adventure Path 107 - Hell's Vengeance 5 of 6, check out the minor artifact on page 36. That might be a very cool item to have added to the party's item list. They might fight over it though, and they wouldn't be able to wear it all the time because of the slot it takes (headband), but it's a very cool item. I'm definitely considering it.
It is an interesting item, and one I had overlooked. As my players are about to break into the vault it could be an interesting addition to the contents

Tactics
--------------------
During Combat The Lord-Abbot is first and foremost a spellcaster.
He carries a largely ceremonial longsword and he isn't bad with it but almost never uses it in a serious fight. He has a high perception and likely will hear the PCs coming from a mile away. That means he will be ready for them. He casts frightful aspect, true seeing and his scroll of greater spell immunity on himself. He uses holy word in the first round of combat and then uses powerful attack spells like blade barrier and flame strike to great effect. He spares no resources. He will use everything in his power to win this fight.
If wounded, he is quick to restore his own wounds using heal. He will not retreat from this chamber nor flee the battle. The ritual he is conducting has to be done here. If the tomb of Saint Macarius is desecrated, all his work will have been for naught.
If our villains retreat, the Lord-Abbot will not follow. He returns immediately to his work. He realizes that they will almost certainly come back but he cannot help that.
Morale Lord-Abbot MacCathlain fights to the death.

** spoiler omitted **...
For his AC and whatnot, I would suspect he's actually a CR 21, but Hero Lab would know better, I suppose.
Still, good job on the PCs for pulling it off. That's monstrous.
It was 5 pc's and 5 cohorts.
The Herolab CR is just based off the basis for the Hand of the Inheritor modified by the paladin levels, it really does not take full account of the modifiers I stuck on. Cutting his SR down to 20 helped a lot as most of their spells got through while if I left it at 26/28 then most of them would have bounced off and I think we would have won
They did go in with all buff spells up and that helped a lot
Book 4 starts at the end of August/start of September after a 4 week break while I go on holiday

If this is your take of the "teacher", i'm waiting to see what how you will buff his "warrior" brother of book 4.
In my campaign, the fight was quite different. Since my was a mythic campaign, instead of buffing Ara like a boss, i just made him a CR 18 and, basically, made my players (six level 12/MR 2 characters) that it would have been quite easy ...
And then, i dropped the ball and summoned other 3 divine heralds (of Iomedae, Sarenrae and Torag) to assist Ara Mathra in his battle (those guys were a bit limited in their supports by using only those powers related to a certain domain.
And after that, when Ara Mathra was put down, i had him show his "true form" as a mythic divine simple template third party creature (CR 18), and only at that point the true battle started.
The one in book 4 may actually be weaker. The justification being the sacred nature of the Cathedral outside the Prime material boosted the power of Ara Mithra.
Metagame Ara Mithra was a bigh fight climatic, no preceding fights no follow up fights. His Brother is a warm up or follow up to killing the King who will be dangerous so I cannot buff him to the same degree as if he did as well as his brother he would completly stuff the pc's up and give them no chance at completing their mission particularly as they have no reason to expect him
The final line from book 3
Minion " Sir , Sir there are 20,000 knights of Alarion at the gate , what do we do"
Gloine (the weretiger) "You've got a sword, off you go chap"
PC's immediately begin to flee with the more valuable minions, abandoning the lesser minions to their doom.

Necromancers of the Northwest came out with a few magic items of peace. Figured they'd fit best in this particular book of Way of the Wicked. The one that I feel would be best is the shield of the dove after you put a couple of enhancements on it. Namely, a vial of magic vestment +5 oil, for the end encounter. That oil will last for hours.
The reason I chose that particular shield is: a) it's avian themed, and b) he has a shield on the cover yet not in his stats. I will totally do this to my PCs when the time comes.
