[Mutahir Hashem]

Growing frustated with his luck, Mutahir takes a deep breath and growls out...

You will not stop us Godslave!

With that, mysteriously his wounds begin to heal a bit as he grips his chest, gripping his sword tightly.

Godless healing: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

He stabs forth with his blade before raising his guard once again.

riposte: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37

Stylish Riposte Vs attack against me less than AC19:

attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
damage: 1d6 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

[DM Elan Morin]

Mutahir uses his expertise to recover some of his vigor before striking again at the monster knight. Once again he proves unable to pierce the creature's defenses though...

Despite her wounds, the dark knight called Emketta doesn't seem willing to back down and keeps attacking. She steps back and then summons a devastating blast of fire engulfing her attackers...

Devastating Blast (fire): 6d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 4, 4, 5) = 22Barm, Warpac, Crowe and Mutahir can roll a DC18 reflex save for half damage

"It's time someone put you in your place, the grave."

Swift action to activate Sacred Armor and Sacred Weapon (Vicious).

To hit Dwarven Double Waraxe: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Damage: 1d10 + 3d6 + 12 ⇒ (5) + (3, 5, 1) + 12 = 26, weapon is good aligned and +1.
Damage to self from Vicious: 1d6 ⇒ 3

[Vybus Abbin]

@GM I just noticed that you had my grease spell fail to Emketta's SR, but as most conjuration spells, it is not subject to SR (see the link). It hasn't affected anything yet as she hasn't tried to attack with her weapon, and my martial allies seem to have her locked down so I'll delay until further notice.

[Mutahir Hashem]

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Gonna use my reroll

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

[Tak and Nail]

Tak keeps chanting and will count on the power of his allies.

[DM Elan Morin]

The pathfinders jump on the wounded graveknight but it's Warpac who puts her down with a vicious strike of his waraxe!

As it falls the evil warrior screams in rage and shakes until only the armor is left laying lifeless on the paved stones, blackened and foreboding...

Meanwhile the door on the north shimmers briefly, sign that something changed on it...

@Vybus: yes, sorry, I just forgot to mention the spell's effect, that's why Emketta used her supernatural power btw

@everyone: the last room of this dungeon is up ahead, let me know if and how you want to prepare, and then go on and open it...

[Crowe - Iconic Character]

”Warpac, can you please use my wand on Mutahir and me?“

I assume you do. ;-)

CLW seven charges Mutahir, 13/20 charges remaining : 7d8 + 7 ⇒ (8, 4, 2, 7, 5, 5, 7) + 7 = 45

CLW five charges Crowe, 8/20 charges remaining : 5d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 6, 6) + 5 = 24

[Warpac]

@Crowe
You assume correctly. Since we are spending at least 7 rounds on healing I guess we might as well max buff.

To heal up Warpac spontaneously casts inheritor's smite as a CMW. Mostly because I don't think a worshiper of Desna is allowed to take that spell anyway!
CMW: 2d8 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (3, 7) + 7 + 4 = 21

Warpac prepares by casting his Beacon of Luck and Returning Weapon (Not getting to the battle until late really annoyed him). These are 7 minute duration spells. He will also and cast a lucky presence, holy strike, and divine favor in that order. This means he will have 7 rounds of lucky presence, 8 rounds of holy strike, and 9 rounds of divine favor when they go through the door.

[Tak and Nail]

Tak will cast haste right before entering and stand near the melee folks so he can dimension door them.

[Mutahir Hashem]

Ugh, hate to be a pain, but that's the character.

Mutahir waves away the wand.

I do not need any of your healing Godslave. It comes at to high a price.

He pulls his own wand and offers it to Vybus.

Perhaps you would be so kind? I collected the demon's blood for it's creation myself.

Mutahir cannot willingly lower his defenses for divine spell-casting, even beneficial, he has to use arcane healing. Vybus can easily identify a wand of infernal healing.

[Vybus Abbin]

I've seen plenty of characters be a lot more of a pain than that :)

But of course. Collected the blood of demons yourself, eh? Have you been adventuring around the Worldwound?

Vybus turns to his familiar. Max, will you check the graveknight's remains for anything interesting?

Vybus will use as many charges of Mutahir's wand as he'd like. If the graveknight had any otherwise unwanted consumables he'll use the consume magic items exploit on them to refill his arcane reservoir.

[Max, lyrakien familiar of Vybus]

Sure thing! says Max to Vybus.

By the way, we need to destroy the armor or that foul creature will reform! Let's take it back to headquarters when we leave, the tiny butterfly-winged woman calls out to everyone in the room.

Max will use her constant detect magic around the whole room, including the grave knight's remains. If anything magical (besides other Pathfinders' gear) is found:

spellcraft/arcana:

spellcraft Max: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
spellcraft Vybus: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27 identifies items of caster level 12 and lower
kn: arcana Max: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
kn: arcana Vybus: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

[Vybus Abbin]

When we are all ready to open the last door Vybus will cast fly and mirror image on himself (8 minutes each).

mirror image: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Warpac, how would you like to be larger? It won't make you any faster, but it'll increase your reach and make you hit things even harder.

Mutahir, you were getting beat up by that graveknight. Let's make you more difficult to hit right before we open the door.

Vybus will cast enlarge person on Warpac if he'd like (8 minutes) and displacement on Mutahir just before the door is opened (spending an arcane pool point to make it 10 rounds).

[Crowe - Iconic Character]

Crowe will cast enlarge person on himself before they proceed.

[Barm]

"Can someone heal me!? Please!"

[Crowe - Iconic Character]

Barm wrote:

"Can someone heal me!? Please!"

Consider yourself healed of 25 HP, I took my rolls above. 11/20 charges remaining.

[Mutahir Hashem]

Mutahir will wince as his wounds close from the steaming of the spell and the smell of sulfur.

Not recently... however, I am a Pure Legionare. My job entails hunting cults down. While everyone throws a fit about Rahadoumi kicking out their precious gods, they forget we do the same for the godslaves of both good and evil deity's.

He gets a wicked grin.

Usually, the good ones bow their head, take a chastisement, and are shipped out on the next ship to one of the great cities where their faith will be welcome. The bad ones? For some odd reason, they seem to object to that a lot more fervently... I do not minding using my blade to correct them, and their demonic or undead servants, in the error of their ways.

5 charges used then, back up to full, and greatful for the displacement.

"Hmmm... That does sound like a good idea. Let's try it."

[Tak and Nail]

Tak will refill the ioun stone with bless from the wand.

Tak will also cast heighten awareness on himself.

Draw his persistent metamagic rod and wait by the door.

[DM Elan Morin]

I'm going to assume you are ready now

Vybus:

You and Max only find a potion of inflict serious wounds on the graveknight's remains

Even after millennia of decay, this room's decor indicates that it was more important than any other in the shrine. Tapestries and rugs show Thassilonians at work, at rest, and at play, as well as giants hauling massive blocks to construct monuments to their lords. In an alcove at the rear of the room, a seven-sided chancel rises two steps off the ground. Atop it stands a statue of a six-winged, half-snake, halfhuman woman with a Sihedron disc for a head. That same rune glows red-hot on the handle of the whip she holds in her outstretched arm. Thassilonian text is chiseled all around the perimeter of the chancel. An obese man flies 10 feet up the floor in the vicinity of the statue and 2 deformed creatures holding longspears trot nearby. As you open the doors they snarl, showing impossibly distended maws where their mouths should be...

Enlarge has prevented dim door. It you will all have to run.

Tak casts a persistent blindness on the center back enemy obese one. (DC 19 roll twice)

The group should be hasted from pre casting it.

[Nail Aeon]

Nail casts bless from an ioun stone.

[Warpac]

Warpac activates his sacred armor and sacred weapon as a swift action and rushes inside, but even with a double move he only makes it half way. Poor slow Warpac. At least he has reach!

Please remember to offer the opportunity to roll twice for the beacon of luck and for Warpac's Lucky Presence. Unlike shirt/portfolio/etc. rerolls we have to decide before the roll.

[Tak and Nail]

Tak cast haste right before the doors were opened.

[Warpac]

Tak and Nail wrote:

Tak cast haste right before the doors were opened.

Which gave him 80' of movement with a double move. Still only enough to get part way.

[DM Elan Morin]

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Fortitude Save (reroll): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

As soon as the door are opened Tak unleashes his magical powers on the flyingt wizard but the corpulent foe manages to stave off the effect while Warpac advances, unafraid of the opposition.

The two spear wielding creatures answer moving towards the giant space dwarf.

Red vs Warpac: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31 → Damage roll: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

[DM Elan Morin]

Barm approaches quickly but one of the abominations tries to stop him using its spear...

AoO vs Barm: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31 → Damage roll: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Unfortunaely for the wild warrior the spear wielding monster knows what it is doing and manages to block his advance.

The now huge Crowe doesn't fare better as his swing goes wide and he misses the very same monster...

@Barm: keep that roll, you will be able to use it later. Longspear and Stand Still work wonders to keep melee locked down

As this takes place the flying man gestures towards Warpac and some sort of greasy substance springs from his fingers!

@Warpac: DC20 Reflex save please

Then he gestures again and suddenly he's surrounded by a thick cloud of grey fog...

[DM Elan Morin]

It was pointed out to me I was not applying Stand Still correctly. Apparently the feat can only be used on adjacent sqares. So Barm suffers an AoO but then he smashes into the creature and causes it great harm...

Mutahir advances and slashes at the second abomination, but not before having to face an attack from the greature's longspear...

AoO Red vs Muthair: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26 → Damage roll: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

And the pure legion enforcer suffers a nasty cut as well but then he's able to give back more than he got.

then retrieves a scroll of gust of wind and hands it to Max.

Max, use this scroll and aim it at the fog, no further than 60 feet away, please.

[Max, lyrakien familiar of Vybus]

Max flies into the room at ceiling height and attempts to activate the scroll
UMD DC23: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22
but appears frustrated when she can't get it to work!

[Tak and Nail]

Tak calls upon the power of night. Casting burst of radiance hitting the two long spear users. DC 18 ref persistent.

Damage if evil: 5d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 2, 1) = 11

[DM Elan Morin]

Tak:

Tak, are you using the misfortune hex in conjunction with your spellcasting? You cast 2 "persistent" spells but I can't find how you did this in your CS. Activating the misfortune hex is usually a standard action. Also I moved you inside the room. From where you were standing and with 2 large creatures in front of you you can't reliably see the fight nor cast anything.

Warpac:

From now on, please post your attack rolls in gameplay and not in discussion

Relfexes:

Green: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 → Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 → Duration: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Tak enters the room and summons coruscating light enveloping the 2 misshapen monstrosities and blinding them in the process.

Vybus identifies both spells as "grease and "Solid Fog" but his trusty familiar Max fails to disperse the magical cloud.

Warpac smashes his axe into the reddish monster almost cutting it down where it stands.

[Tak and Nail]

It is from a rod. It should be on the character sheet.

[DM Elan Morin]

Tak:

What kind of rod is this? I found a "persistent rod" but you need to specify if it is lesser (9,000 gp), normal (32,500 gp) or greater (73,000 gp). The normal one gives you two application of the metamagic feat, while the lesser one gives you just one. I'm going out on a limb and assume yours is a normal rod, which means it's now exhausted. Am I correct with this interpretation?

[Tak and Nail]

Metamagic rods are all three time per day. It is the lesser so for spell levels 1-3.

Rods

Lesser

Sorry forgot to write lesser. I wish I could affor a normal one though.

[Barm]

Barm hits the green one again.

[Warpac]

mistake:

I hadn't realized I posted the die rolls in discussion! I know better, normally. I blame it on the fact that my wife and I were driving from Pennsylvania to Maine during that time.

Warpac, thoroughly enjoying his size and speed, plants both feet and swings with a loud laugh.

Has anyone identified these critters with a knowledge roll. Warpac would like to use his Bane Baldric but I'm not sure if he knows what to declare the bane on. I assume not so no bane for now.
