Fleeting Truth (Inactive)

Game Master Kirill.Storm

Jackojare will not spend another RP to be back up at 1 HP. If I'm hit by another attack, I'll have 1 RP left and won't be able to stabilize. I'm saving my RP in case I get hit again, probably by an area attack, so I can stabilize again.

Did the elemental save against Id's dismissal spell last round? It wouldn't have beat up Jackojare if it poofed.

Sorry I couldn't post yesterday because of work, but I'd really like to resolve if the yellow elemental still exists (or even did exist over the last two turns) before taking my next action. It needed to beat a DC 22 Will save or be dismissed back to its home plane back from Id's last turn, and it looks like that wasn't resolved.

Compucast continues to harras the lich with the acid fog..
acid damage, ref DC20: 5d8 + 4 ⇒ (5, 5, 1, 6, 3) + 4 = 24

While trying to stay cautiously back from the full wrath of the elemental.
Another guarded step backward.

Ooh, sorry. I will edit hit points in upcoming large post.
Elemental Will vs Dismissal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Yellow elemental disappears in the portal. Slowly but surely.

I also found out that for the last Scaranis spell from gem - the save DC was 23, not 21 - so Tolar failed and could not move or bre. I will try to cover narratively my own mistakes.

I little flashback for few seconds ago I will move Tolar's token to a place where he was hold by Scaranis, failing the last Fort to Psychokinetic Strangulation. Any way he missed all the attacks last turn. But I will return TOlar some hit-points "canceled" by earlier Dismissal.
Tolar rushsed after Scaranis and almost hit him once again, when Yellow security elemental reached out Tolar with his massive limb and grabs, resticting inside. Just a few moments later Tolar realizes he was exposed to magic and just lack of oxygen makes him hallucinate. He is 15 feet away from Scaranis, who landed near Jackojare body.

Tolar can not move and have to hold his breath. But can try to drop away this feeling. Fort save DC 23 every round.

Jackojare remains on the floor without movement.

Kait'Lax still supports assault agains Scaranis, my misses this time with a blast flying to a far wall.

Compucast continues execute his tactics of burning necrovite's flesh with acid. Scaranis Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27... but Scaranis is too nimble.

Round 12-13. The bold may act! I suppose Haste nearly ended?

Jackojare -161, Fatigued, Hasted, Prone, stable
Tolar Buntu -143, Fatigued, Cursed, Psychokinetic Strangulation DC 23
Kait'lax -118, Haste, Miracle Worker, (Helpful Telepath) / Killdroid out of service!
ID Sinitis 33 HP now, Starlight, Haste, Fatigue, Sour Doubt (-2 all Saves)
Scaranis -154
Security Elemental yellow dismissed
Security Elemental blue -7
Compucast -130, Fatigue, Hasted
Dragons Banished

OOh. I just realized that Compucast's Corrosive Haze does not do damage at all if Reflex secceed. So, I have to give Scaranis some Hp back at least for this last round.

And Life Bubble doesn't help? If the original save was to hold my breath Tolar has Toughness which adds +4 to my save for a total of 25.

Id heals himself and tries to get away from the approaching elemental.

Standard cast mystic cure on self (no AoO), move walk (AoO)

Mystic Cure (2nd): 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (3, 8, 3) + 7 = 21

Tolar, Life Bubble provides you with a sort of atmosphere. In general Psychokinetic Strangulation ognors this fact. But even if we think you are able to brah - you still can not move and take damage every round.

Tolar tries to resist Scaranis, but being cursed, now he is exposed to a deadly spell. Psychokinetic Strangulation Fort DC 23

ID walking away from the Cosmic Eddy, but security elemental wants to stop him even from getting away at least I think you was within 15 feet, at the turns start?
AoO Elemintal - ID, if possible: 1d20 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 22 + 1 = 39
Starlight 20<: 1d100 ⇒ 57
dmg, bld: 2d10 + 15 ⇒ (3, 10) + 15 = 28

Elemental then follows compucast trin to stop his spell...
Elemintal attacks Compucast: 1d20 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 22 + 1 = 33
dmg, bld: 2d10 + 15 ⇒ (9, 5) + 15 = 29

Scaranis gazes at Tolar, concentratin on the spell, but also moves from cloud and withdraw his pistol making a move to target laying nearby Jackojare. Scaranis continues to regenerate.
Damage to Tolar: 3d8 ⇒ (4, 6, 3) = 13
Scaranis Reflex vs acid: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

Round 12-13. The bold may act! I suppose Haste nearly ended?

Jackojare -161, Fatigued, Hasted, Prone, stable
Tolar Buntu -157, Fatigued, Cursed, Psychokinetic Strangulation DC 23
Kait'lax -118, Haste, Miracle Worker, (Helpful Telepath) / Killdroid out of service!
ID Sinitis 25 HP now?, Starlight, Haste, Fatigue, Sour Doubt (-2 all Saves)
Scaranis -144
Security Elemental yellow dismissed
Security Elemental blue -7
Compucast -130, Fatigue, Hasted
Dragons Banished

Sorry, round 13-14. I will check later, if Haste is still in action...

But if the save vs Strangulation was to hold my breath then Tolar had +4 to the original roll which then passed.

fort save including cursed but not including Toughness: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 4 = 10

Yes, the elemental would hit me with the AoO.

Id lays into Scaranis with another flurry of stars.

Full action magic missile on Scaranis.

Force Damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) + 3 = 10

Star shaman calls for minor but always nady power and bomb Scaranis with little stars.

The necrovite gnash his teeth look at ID with cold anger and pain as he really hates too look at the shiny star in his dark chamber.

YOu will be a good example of my collection. After you fade. , - ID sinitis feels as pain piercing through his neural system.
Mind Thrust 3 for ID Sinitis, Will DC 22: 7d10 ⇒ (3, 7, 4, 2, 10, 4, 3) = 33

Scaranis makes a wave iwth pistol, sending Tolar a message that he will finish off Jackojare... if the soldier approach.
Tolar really feels as he can move and breath now being free from necrovites grasp.

Blue elemental slowly become one with the floor leaving Cosmic Eddy using borrow spped advantages. He appears just before ID Sinitis few seconds later from the floor, threatening him and also Kait'Lax with Tolar Buntu.

Round 14-15 The bold may act!

Jackojare -161, Fatigued, Prone, stable
Tolar Buntu -157, Fatigued, Cursed
Kait'lax -118, Miracle Worker, / Killdroid out of service!
ID Sinitis 25 HP now?, Starlight, Fatigue, Sour Doubt (-2 all Saves), pending Will Save DC 22
Scaranis -154
Security Elemental yellow dismissed
Security Elemental blue -7
Compucast -130, Fatigue
Dragons Banished

It should be all of our turns now, right?

Yes, sorry.
Everyone may act!

Will save: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (11) + 14 = 25

Id resists the telepathic assault. ”I’ve already been collected by Great Kadrical, and his grace shall protect me from your depredations!” Id heals himself again, then flies away toward the ceiling, trying to pull the elemental’s attention.

Standard cast mystic cure on self (no AoO), move fly (AoO)

Mystic Cure (4th): 7d8 + 7 + 5d8 ⇒ (7, 4, 3, 4, 3, 6, 4) + 7 + (2, 3, 5, 6, 5) = 59

Tolar takes a deep breath.

He then sighs. Death can be a grim buisness at times.

He moves over Scaranis and attacks.

attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 19 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 19 - 1 - 4 = 23
Piercing,Ghost Killer,Holy: 2d8 + 21 - 1 ⇒ (5, 6) + 21 - 1 = 31

As the Blue elemental vanished, Compucast tries slashes out at it with his claws.

AOO if that movement provoked: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
damage: 1d3 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 20

Struggling against the mighty cosmic eddy, the vesk cancels the dozens of warning lights flashing in his armour. The forcefield had proved its worth today even as the "field out" warning light stubbornly refused to extinguish.

Seeing the lich still up, the technomage does his best to finally put it to rest, sending still more bolts of force into its decaying body.

forcefield restored to 3
magic missile, full round cast, dangerous spells: 3d4 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (4, 3, 3) + 3 + 5 = 18

Meanwhile the acid continues to erode the lich's body.
acid: 5d8 ⇒ (8, 7, 2, 8, 1) = 26

Kait'lax takes a guarded step away from the elemental, but, seeing no safe options, takes another shot at the undead, provoking.

Frost Staff of Nuclear Vengeance: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Fire Damage: 2d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 3) + 5 = 9

Switch target to elemental if Scaranis was already down.

Jackjare still laying on the floor.

Tolar decides to press on, but his pyke misses nimble necrovite.
Maybe because security elemental stil staying on the way... AoO at Tolar from Elemental for movement: 1d20 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 22 + 1 = 24

ID Sinitis using this moment to heal up his own wounds and fly away.

Compucast leaves a heavy scratch at the lementals body when he borrowed away. Now he bomobs Scaranis with force and sustains acid fog.
Scaranis Reflex vs acid: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Kait'Lax shoots from close range and leave a burn at dead flesh.

Scaranis obviously made a mistake not moving form acid fog. With all other elementals and force Pathfinder counjured upon him, necrovites flesh finally burned too much to continue resistanse. Scaranis quickly falls under gravity pressure, lifeless. But the security elemental seems to follow masters last will and with frenzy avalanche at TOlar and Jackojare body.

Elemental attacks Tolar, KAC: 1d20 + 22 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 22 - 4 - 2 = 22
bld dmg to Tolar: 2d10 + 15 - 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 15 - 2 = 20

Elemental attacks Jackojare: 1d20 + 22 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 22 - 4 + 1 = 34
bld dmg to Tolar: 2d10 + 15 ⇒ (1, 10) + 15 = 26
Will shirren soldier be able to withstand this assault?
I will provide Tolar an opportunity to roll Reflex as a reaction to cover Jackojare from this strike with own bod.

Round 15-16 The bold may act!

Jackojare -161, Fatigued, Prone, recieved damage!
Tolar Buntu -157, Fatigued, Cursed
Kait'lax -118, Miracle Worker, / Killdroid out of service!
ID Sinitis 68 HP now?, Starlight, Fatigue, Sour Doubt (-2 all Saves)
Scaranis -199
Security Elemental yellow dismissed
Security Elemental blue -7
Compucast -130 (+3), Fatigue

Sure I'll go with the temporary bodyguard thing.

Reflex to intercept blow including cursed, fatigued: 1d20 + 9 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 4 - 1 = 24 Intercepted! Electrostatic Field, MK 2 starts earning it's price.

electricity damage from the aoo: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6
electricity damage from the attack vs Tolar: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6
electricity damage from the intercepted attack: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

Tolar is barely hanging on.

"Great job everyone!"

Activate United Society boon as a swift action. Every ally within 60 ft can choose one of the following. 1. Gain a +2 morale bonus to attack and damage until the beginning of my next turn, 2. Regain a number of stamina points = to their level, 3. Remove a single condition per the Remove Condition spell. Tolar will regain 11 stamina.

"Make sure Scaranis isn't getting back up."

He then steps up to what may be his last fight and attacks the elemental.

attack vs KAC: 1d20 + 19 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 19 - 4 - 1 = 28
Piercing,Ghost Killer,Holy: 2d8 + 21 - 1 ⇒ (8, 6) + 21 - 1 = 34

10 Stamina, natch.

Kait'lax takes another step away from the elemental before firing.

Frost Staff of Nuclear Vengeance: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Fire Damage: 2d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 1) + 5 = 8

"Looking good, folks! Let's finish the job now."

With the lich in the pile of acid fog, Compucast relies on its ongoing acidic effect to continue to burn the undead creature and stop it reforming.

Scowling at the elemental, he directs another massive bolt of power toward it.

E damage,arcing surge, dangerous spells, ref DC20 for half: 10d6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 4, 2, 1, 3, 5, 2, 1) + 5 = 29

He feels better, knowing that Tolar is there.

+10 STA

Don't forget to use one of the United Society effects.

Jackojare I guess has to spend 2 more RP to stabilize, unless Tolar blocked everything.

In an amazing self-throw Tolar intercepts deadly bash from security elemental, which likely could smash laying Jackojare.
United society brings team together again. Then Tolar pierce through the elemental body and reflect some eletricity at him.

Kait'lax shoots the elemental from safe distance.

Compucast continues to melt necrovite's flesh with acid, but also use lightning to destroy the elemental, even though he is covered a bit by the platform and mechanism.
Reflex vs arcing surge: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 1 = 24

ID'Decides to Dismiss this elemental...
Will vs Dismissal: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Elemntal can not resist so much magic. It's connection to this world fades and the elemental dismissed out of this place.

Combat ends. Starfinders feel fatigue and in general surrounded my bloody mess. Jackojare still laying a if being lifeless.

What do you do?

Jackojare -161, Fatigued, Prone
Tolar Buntu -173, Fatigued, Cursed
Kait'lax -118, Miracle Worker, / Killdroid out of service!
ID Sinitis 68 HP now?, Starlight, Fatigue, Sour Doubt (-2 all Saves)
Scaranis -199
Security Elemental yellow dismissed
Security Elemental blue Dismissed
Compucast -130 (+3), Fatigue
Dragons Banished

Compucast heads over to Jack and administers a healing serum.
"Come on warrior. On your feet."
serum: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Meanwhile the cloud continues to eat away at the lich.

"We should remove any equipment that body has. I can't stop him regenerating forever, but we can deny him some of his advantages..." notes the technomancer.

His glance can't help but be cast around the sanctum, as he admires the magic and tries to make sense of it... and work out if it can be removed, or at least neutralised.
mysticism: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

Compucast detection leads him to examine the magical platform with a strange mystical security system. The technomancer
finds seven impressions shaped like the gems from the skull statues, two such gems were excavated gems are still posessed by ID Sinitis.

Scaranis slowly regenerates, but acid prevents him from restoring his body.

You find on the necrovite's body:
estex suit IV,
Eoxian wrackstaff,
paragon semi-auto pistol with 32 small arm rounds,
spell gem of psychokinetic strangulation (empty),
spell gem of tongues

Kait'lax is panting heavily from the exertion. This is the closest they have ever come to being defeated.

"I for one could use some time to get myself and Killdroid back into some semblance of fighting shape. But we also need to completely destroy this body to give us time to find the electroencephalon Melchrazor told us to look for."

Suggesting 10 minute rest and dealing about a thousand points of damage to Scaranis while cutting him into pieces too small to threaten us and scattering them all over Eox.

"I don't think your fans would want me to bring you back in pieces," Kihgtsa adds as he ponders the skulls and gems.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

Do we have seven empty holes and two gems? If so, we should probably go back to the previous area and search more - after rest and body destruction.

With no immediate enemies to deal with Tolar walks over to Scaranis and uses his pike to try and make sure he never gets up again.

"I can jab him to keep him down but we need a permanent solution before we rest."

"Destroying the electronencephalon is the solution, but none of you look up to searching for it just yet."

Jackojare I guess will spend an RP to get back up at one, since Tolar blocked everything and I didn't have to respend 2 RP to stabilize again. He will then pick up his weapons.

You suppose that electronencephalon should be somewhere here. But to check your hypothesis you need some rest. Scaranis body seems to regenerates nearly constantly. Kighsta thinks Scaranis can remake the shell within 24 interstellar hours.
Seems like you really should not necrovite alone for a long time.
BUt maybe you have 10 minutes of nearly rest. Regarding this place.
Jackojare in a mostly poor condition. Nearly everyone was is fatigue, and even after rest Tolar Buntu remains cursed.
I suppose even spellcasters spent a lot of resources.

But you preavil!

...
What next, boss?, - asks Kighsta agter your short rest. Do you mind I use PC's NPC this way? ^)

Two crystals relly match sockets here, so you may go wandering for more colourful skull gems...

Now mystics may understand, that Scaranis used cold damage security measures only 2 times because you brought only two gems.

Jackojare definitely short rests and spends and RP to regain all his SP.

Kait'lax will repair themself and the drone, occasionally poking Scaranis to keep the undead down.

Go ahead and use the NPC. No reason he has to be jusy my skill bot.

*BEEP BOOP FUNCTION RESTORED TO 25%*

"Wow, boss, you've seen better days, but you got off light compared to the others. You want to put on that Estex Suit and take point?"

Being mostly ranged, Kait'lax should be near the end of the line for that loot, but putting on Scaranis' armor definitely improves them.

Sorry, the healing serum was for Jack... no need to spend the RP if you didn't want.

"When we get back to the shuttle I can finish fixing up Killdroid." offers Compucast.

From the above, do we think we need to find the other gems in order to uncover his electronencephalon ?

Tolar will rest.

I have a folio so once per scenario I can rest to recover SP without spending the RP.

"If I remove his head and limbs then separate them will it slow his healing?"

"I think it will irritate him. May even cause him pain. But even total disintegration won't stop him reforming... unless we can find his electronencephalon." comments the mage.

With the battle over, he turns off his force-shield, not wanting to waste its battery.

Taking some time Starfinders have a short rest, repairs Kulldroid and dismantle necrovites body as much as possible.

You feel much better but changing suit in a vacuum extreme cold might be bad idea...

What are you going to do? Feel free to move tokens to another map.

The dwarf examines the portal the team used to enter this room to ensure that it won't close if we go back through it.

Mysticism: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34

Assuming that it will remain open, he will encourage everyone to go back and more thoroughly search the rooms with the columns for gems.

The mighty, if battered, vesk nods to Kihgtsa. "See if we can find those missing gems. Let us take the body with us though, who knows what might happened if we leave it alone."

Thanks for bearing with me all. Feeling much better now. Id couldn't have cast dismissal on the last elemental, he used a spell gem for that and only had one, but he could have hit it with a level 4 mind thrust to wreck its HP.

Id slowly returns to a normal level of illumination and grounds himself again. That...was exhilarating. Let's crush this jerk's soul cage and call it a day, huh?"

8 minutes of stellar form left, and almost no spell slots. So we have two gems already and we need to search for how many more to wrap?

You have 2 gems. And 7 slots. Most likely you need to gather 5 more skull gems in the gomplex outside this sanctum in order to get more direct access to this mystical machine.

You can take dismateled corpse with you. Fortunatelly it is almost dry, no liquids.

Portal is going to sustain for several hours if nothing interfere it according to Goldmind's calculation.

Use you tokens and other presentaion pages maps with cut-paste and move to show where are you going.

Jackojare is going to stay put for now, unless needed, All HP gone, All RP gone, only SP left.

More magic and finding things. Tolar drags the body and follows behind everyone else.

Compucast wearily rises to his feet and joins Tolar in the search.

I suggest as we go as a group we just move a token represting the whole group to one room at a time to help speed this up.

Id uses his healing touch on Jackojare.

Heal 50 HP.

Where should we look first?

Yeah, well, maybe he was just hoping the Necrovite will think that is his plan. Ah hah!

At the least bad, it saves the rest of the party another blast from the lich.

I see Tolar is dominated. Which typically lasts for days. Don't you normally get a second save against a dominate if your orders are against your nature (such as attacking your friends)?

I'm starting to grasp at straws here, as this is not looking like a good situation for us.

Of course this may be a non standard dominate that doesn't give that out clause.

I am sure you can narrative your way out of this.
Write about Tolars feelings and thoughts for example.
Now I provide not really cruel commands, and Tolar seems to be fine about piking people around softly - nonlethaly.

I can provide a Will reroll if it seems reasonable according to narrative.

Moreover I feel some of you guys not really paying attention to what's happening in other posts. That make me sad a bit, but I understand also that the picture is complicated and probably my descriptions are poor. Anyway I would appreciate you read all the posts and try to imagine the narrative situation and if you face confusion or something need clearance -feel free to ask or discuss.

I've got two more shots at dispelling the dominate if I can roll above a 13 and not get curbstomped before then. If you all focus on Scaranis, I'll try to handle Tolar. All his special defenses from the machines are down now, correct?

I can use mending to bring Killdroid back and send it in to battle from the opposite side. The 1d4 HP won't last long, but at least Scaranis won't be able to kill it with AOE while attacking everyone else.

Mending is 10minute casting time :-(

If I stay up, I think my best best is to ready an action to hit him with another spell if he casts, and try and disrupt the casting. Not that I have a lot of options for what spells to do that with.

Any alternative suggestions?

Readying doesn’t disrupt in Starfinder, but AoOs do.

Really? I always assumed you could. The wording seems to imply it.

concentration and interrupted spells

Mending is 10minute casting time :-(

You can cover me for that long, right? ;)

Really? I always assumed you could. The wording seems to imply it.

concentration and interrupted spells

Interrupting a spell really possible. Especially during Full Round domination.

Normally, you can concentrate even in a distracting situation, but if you’re casting a spell and you take damage from either a successful attack that targeted your AC or from an effect that you failed a saving throw against, the spell fails.

I am not sure how to rule the situation with no environmental protection in the Diaspora... environment. I believe even casting spell in cold vacuume could be problematic...

I thought force filed was out at the round Compucast was bashed by cosmic eddy and smacked at the floor. No?

Yeap, but it regenerate 3hp a round. Not a lot, but it adds up and certainly helps when we are running on the smell of a dry rag with respect to hp.

With respect to environmental protections, remember I cast life bubble on everyone right back at the start.

I think I am gonna bot Kait'Lax in 12-14 hours from now...

Also I need to notice you have a good plan how to prevent Scaranis from casting spells.

I will bot ID in 6-8 hours.
Important thing, because Scaranis obviously wanna get rid of the shaman.

I'd also notice that I won't be able to play next scenario legaly, at least in the nearest future - lack of exp.
I am russian and in general do not give a s%$! about many rules, but being VL suggests that I follow dat Organized Play rules. Like chronicle based leveling up.
So, the question is if you are ready to play with me GMing next scenario unless we find another solution. I'd better play, but seems like I have to GM next one.

Or does anyone has the same issues with leveling to the proper level?

I can suggest this scenario to schedule next: https://paizo.com/products/btq024zc?Starfinder-Society-Scenario-306-Rise-of -the-Vault-Lord if someone wanna run it

Tolar is level 11 so can play the next one. I have no issues with either of you GMing.

This XP will take Kait'lax to level 11. I don't mind either playing or GMing the next session. I have recently played 3-06, however.

I wouldn't mind getting in a game of 2-24 Cornered Rat.

We can also do Band on the Run for something sillier - it uses level 4 pregens but can be applied to any level character.

All the options looks good for me.

Though, Joe Bread participated in PF Special where Starfinders took Datch to prison... it was almost start of his carrer. So naratively 2-24 Cornered Rat might be finny narratively.

Any pregen-implemented module with opportunity to use chronicles to high level sounds fine also!

I've already played 3-06, although I could GM it for the group.

I'm just finishing a run of Band on the Run (which played quickly actually) to get Compucast up to level 11 for the final. But could still play it and give the credit to another character.

There is also the one-shot weekend for Grav Train Robbery that starts this weekend, which might be a way to grab a bonus xp Krill? I think there are going to be lots of tables of that running in PBP.

I'm currently in a Grav Train Robbery table. Is it replayable?

No. You can only apply credit once. But it can go to any level character - all the way up to 20.

I have also run Band on the Run and am in a table of Grav Train.

I'm will be level 10 after this, but one of my home groups is doing Signal of Screams part 2 over the weekened, and hopefully finish, in which case another 3 XP can be applied.

Id will be level 11 after this adventure.

Oh that spell on Tolar is nasty... but requires concentration. So no more spells from him while he is focusing on that. Pity about that elemental he summoned.

I only can imagine how chaotic it would be if I put 50% curse upon Tolar...
Yes, this spell needs concentration, and I planned to put it upon ID, but changed my mind after critical. Fortunatelly for Scaranis, undead are not bleeding.

--
As for our future game, seems like only me has troubles with experience.
So lets vote sorta.

1. I will GM the next Fleeting Truth part.
2. Compucast or Kait'Lax can GM #3-06
3. Someone GMing #2-24
4. Repeatable module for wide levels chronicle sheet, like Band on the Run

I'd say 2 or 3 preferable for me.

I won’t be able to post tonight, but I will definitely post tomorrow.

Compucast and I can't both run 3-06, so that's probably not the best idea.
No real preference between the other three options.

I can run 3-06, but don't need. How many xp will you be on after credit for this scenario Kirill?

O think I need 1 exp to reach 11 lvl, and iimidiately add Adventure Path chronicle to become lvl 12.
So one game to go to Fleeting Truth continue.

3-06 or Band on the Run.

I've just finished GMing a run of Band, but I'm happy to GM it again if nobody else wants to run it. The only real advantage of that is that is plays pretty quickly and we could get started on it while we finish up here.

What I meant is that Compucast and I can't both run 3-06 at the same time, and I at least would have to use a pregen anyway since my only character who would be in tier is the one who played it before.

Same issue for Kailt'lax.

If you would prefer to GM it that is fine. From playing through it, it certainly game across as each individual encounter was quite complex. Are there enough other takers to make a legal table?

Sadly as I'm only level 10, haste has expired. Gosh this combat has gone on a long time, can't remember running out of haste before.

Does this lich look like he is almost gone? I thought we had it before those extra elementals turned up - being able to use a full round spell as an action from those controls is a massive advantage. As it is, it looks like we are on the verge of a wipe. Next round I'll go down to the elemental, and it looks very much like everyone else is also only one hit from unconscious.

I'd hate to see this encounter on high-tier!

Well, I am sure you will handle this.
Honeslty, I believe rule of fun is mostly general. I also tryin to use some logic, which scenarios sometimes lacking of.

Not sure if I overstepped combat CR rules, but when you destroyed dragons and Scaranis unleashed all the security cold damage, I've decided to use monsters you conjured, but did not destryed, as an additional security measure.

As for upcombing scenario, we forgot about #2-24 scenario as an option?

I understand that it's problematic to run 3-06 so that everyone recieve credits for it, right?

"A creature immobilized in this way cannot move and must hold its breath". So the most general idea that this is Transmutation spell without additional tags. The most optimisticaly I'd say that Tolar immobilized and taking damage, but somehow can breath. Untill rolling successful Fort save, Scaranis stops concentrating or spell duration ends...

I don't need 3-06, so can sit back for a scenario if the group wants to play that and Kait could run it.

But a quick band-on-the-run run would probably be the easiest way to mechanically get you the xp required.

This is a busy season, so happy to sit out a scenario until we’re all ready to advance.

Yeah, if everyone needs to catch up, something can be dmed in between and I'll sit out a scenario too if I've already played it.

Thats a bad tendency. Groups falls apart this way often, when they skip a lot of time, or someone drops for couple months.

I think I will be able quickly gather 1 XP. Actually my fellow who we play adventure path together with, promised me to run #3-06 via Roll20.

As for now I will press on with a necrovite untill the end. Meanwhile find a solution so that we continue this arc. If you survive :)

I will give others some more time to post.
But diffinitelly post tomorrow, even if I have to bot someone.

You can bot me, I’m sick as a dog and can barely get through a work day. Will do my dad dear to post tomorrow night.

If you thought we are at the end of scenario - there are still some things to do here.

Also I will play this Sunday to find necessary exp for Joe.
SO we we can easily continue trough Fleeting Truth after shis scenario end. Remind me, we already decided who willGM the next arc adventure?

Id-Sinitis was the only other person who said they might be interested during recruitment, but that was four months ago and things change. I have no problem either taking back over as GM or staying as player.

Same as Id here. I'd probably prefer to play, but okay with GMing if we want to pull straws.

I'd say ID Sinitis was real star of this battle. He overstayed everything with tactics and a bunch of luck.
That's a good GM necessary skill ^)
Tolar was another example but soldiers durability is another story...

I enjoyed lsat scenario but sometimes new person really shoud step in.

Anyway, if we have several volunteers - we can just roll a dice to decide

I forgot where to find chronicles for the first part. Can you point it or resend to kirill.storm@gmail.com ?

Chronicle Sheets

Sorry, folks.
Tough days. I will post in 1-2 hours.

ID deactivated only one statue. And this one hurts a lot

A rest after each set of attempts, surely. I can try anything Id-Sinitis fails, possibly twice depending on how well my shirren bodyguard saves.

And if necessary I can try as well, but my chances are much worse :-(
