DESTROYERBILL: hello jorian
Smon: Hi Jorian!
joriandrake: Hello
Smon: Last session http://smonscurseofthecrimsonthrone.blogspot.com/2019/03/ep-75-2254719-ar-carnage-in-examination.html
joriandrake: So, I'm not sure how and when, but it seems due to road repairs/construction it is likely that I will drop out of session midgame as I'll lose electricity
7:32am 2019-4-06 sandor sunneson Has entered the room
DESTROYERBILL: hi fergus
sandor sunneson: Morning all
7:32am 2019-4-06 Keelia Has entered the room
joriandrake: hi
DESTROYERBILL: hi keelia
Smon: Hi F & K
Keelia: morning, gentlemen!
sandor sunneson: Morning Keelia
Keelia: I'm sorry, I need just a few minutes, I've got to sort myself out.
Smon: http://smonscurseofthecrimsonthrone.blogspot.com/2019/03/ep-75-2254719-ar-carnage-in-examination.html
joriandrake: did you see my message here about the session Simon?
Smon: no
joriandrake: strange, that damn chatroom bug again
joriandrake: https://i.imgur.com/8ciEBMJ.png
Smon: Oh I saw your post here J, I thought you meant a PM
sandor sunneson: Jorian's dissapearing text spell kicks in
joriandrake: If you can see the image link my message is in there
joriandrake: ok
Smon: Smon: Last session http://smonscurseofthecrimsonthrone.blogspot.com/2019/03/ep-75-2254719-ar-carnage-in-examination.html joriandrake: So, I'm not sure how and when, but it seems due to road repairs/construction it is likely that I will drop out of session midgame as I'll lose electricity 7:32am 2019-4-06 sandor sunneson Has entered the room
joriandrake: Usually it is others who write me that I don't see though, not the other way around
Smon: GM: The ceiling of this vaulted, cathedral-like chamber rises to a
height of sixty feet above. The northeastern corner of the room is somewhat collapsed, but the rest of the chamber seems to be
in good condition. Double doors open in the walls to the east
and west, while four alcoves to the north and four to the south
are occupied by statues of winged women with no faces.
Smon: GM: Shieldbiter appears!
Smon: GM: Claw is feeling tired after his epic fights.
Smon: Broken glass and puddles of black fluid on the floor.
sandor sunneson: Sandor waves at SB
DESTROYERBILL: i wave back
sandor sunneson: shall we head east??
Smon: GM: Drakhaien checks out the west iron doors, ascertains that the trap is now discharged & they are unlocked. They are not airtight, there is a small gap beneath. From beyond them comes the roar of a waterfall, not far off.
Smon: East will take you back to the hexagonal chambers.
Keelia: West then
Smon: Who opens the doors?
Keelia: We disabled the trap on the door by yanking it open, so we should be able to go West without a problem
Keelia: *with mage hand
Keelia: That's what blew up the glass containers of monsters
joriandrake: (found it, drak is on 49 hp)
Smon: GM: You can complete a short rest first if you like
Keelia: (Can we have a short rest so I can get my animal forms back?)
Smon:
Keelia: (Yes please )
joriandrake: Yes, Drak could use Mage hand to open doors or lockpick them, would be a good time to have some rest too though
Smon: GM: OK, 1 hour later...
sandor sunneson: sure
joriandrake: hd spending to heal?
Smon: Claw has collected all the sicatite swords from the statues and put them in his bag. Yes roll hit dice as desired.
Keelia: (go for it Jorian)
DESTROYERBILL: hey keelia what is your xp like ?
Keelia: (I'm not sure Bill, I haven't totalled it up in a while )
joriandrake: I start with 8 rolls
DESTROYERBILL: you could be level 20 and not know it so you go to add it up
joriandrake rolls 8d8+16 and gets: 5, 8, 6, 8, 6, 7, 5, 3, (+16) = 64
joriandrake: 49+64=113
joriandrake: I spend one more dice, then have 8 left to use later
joriandrake rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 6, (+2) = 8
Smon: GM: You mage handing the west doors open?
joriandrake: good, 121/122
joriandrake: If that's the one others wish to open?
Keelia: If James isn't level 20 then neither am I I need to go back through the pages and determine what xp I got after I turned to 19. I'm fairly sure I've got at least 10k to go
joriandrake: Drak will open if yes
Smon: A roar of water echoes from this chamber (25' e-w by 60' n-s), and the air is damp
with cool mist. A dark circular pool directly opposite you (about 30' across, crescent extending 15' into the west wall) fills much of the western end of the
chamber, while to the south a set of stairs leads up to another
room. Tumbling into this pool from a bronze-ringed gap in the
ceiling above is a column of frothy water, while a small ledge
sits just above the water level on the westernmost edge of the
pool itself.
DESTROYERBILL: keelia what if james also forgot and is level 20
sandor sunneson: Sandor will use his eagle eyes to see if there is anything of interest
Smon: Roll Per Sandor
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 7, (+6) = 13
joriandrake: considering where we are the pool might be used in rituals or mybe used as one of the gates to other planes
sandor sunneson: hmmm
Smon: There is only about 10' of floor between the east edge of the pool and the doorway where you are.
To the north about 25' there is a set of iron double doors in the middle of the north wall, matching the others you've seen.
joriandrake: Drak will also quickly take a glance at the room, to check for traps or anything else (just passive sight)
Smon: Drakhaien & Quillax with their Passive Per 20+ detect two man-sixed shapes forming in the waterfall at eye level, just above the water surface.
Smon: man-sized
joriandrake: ok, Drak ducks back behind the door/wall and informs others
Smon: As they coalesce out of the water, they take on the appearance of armoured warriors, in sea-shell armour & carrying tridents, but formed of water.
Smon: Drak ducks back.
Smon: The two Elemental Myrmidons step out of the water...
Keelia: Q sighs.
Smon: Leaving the waterfall they approach the east lip of the pool.
Smon: Their faceless visages appear to regard Quillax.
joriandrake: Drakhaien hides and hopes they didn't notice the party
joriandrake: nvm
Smon: They lower their tridents and bow.
Smon: (Drak is out of sight of them)
DESTROYERBILL: ooc when daddy first got mordain kahniens i reaserched the mrymidons non stop looking at their stats and what they look like their cr 7 i belive
Smon: And speak as one in Aquan, which somehow you can all understand (the library seems to have a Tongues effect).
sandor sunneson: 'Good day fair Stranger' Sandor will say
Keelia: Q bows back
Smon: "Great Arch-Druid of this Realm. We greet you in the name of the Lords of Aqua."
Smon: "We are summoned to defend this vault. But we do not wish to battle you, for thine ancestors did Pact with our Lords."
Keelia: "Greetings, friends," Q replies. "We have no quarrel with you. I am glad we honour our Pact. We will pass quickly from here and disturb you little."
sandor sunneson: Battles are not always required either he'll respond
Keelia: "You do your Lords a great service."
sandor sunneson: Are there any dangers ahead you can warn us of that we may encounter??
Smon: The Myrmidons nod to Quillax, pretty much ignoring Sandor.
"Beware, for we sense great Evil here. Those who crafted this Summoning long ago were no friends of Aqua. And our Corporeal forms were last destroyed by a great dragon, only moments ago."
sandor sunneson: Thank you
Smon: "Moments... longer, as this world understands time."
sandor sunneson: What type of dragon?
Smon: "Blue"
Keelia: Quillax bows, "My thanks for the warning. We are looking to prevent the Evil from spreading. Should we get the chance, we will avenge your corporeal forms."
joriandrake: Drakhaien softly reacts "That might've been centuries or thousands of years ago"
DESTROYERBILL: i speak up "what age whas the mighty beast
DESTROYERBILL: "
Smon: >>Should we get the chance, we will avenge your corporeal forms."<<
"Do not worry. We have reformed, as you can see."
They look to Shieldbiter.
"It was very large."
Keelia: "Time passes as the water in the river, sometimes fast in the middle or slow by the banks," she says to the others.
Smon: Have Inspiration for that Q
joriandrake: (Nice RP comment K)
Keelia:
DESTROYERBILL: " was the dragons horn larger than your trident
DESTROYERBILL: "
Smon: The elementals look at SB (roll Persuasion SB)
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 3, (+6) = 9
Smon: They ignore him.
Smon: The Myrmidons step back, raising their tridents to a sentry position.
Smon: GM: No one has Arcana trained, right?
Keelia: Q nods to her companions, "We know of the dragon, we know how long it has likely been here. The Giants told us when it was last seen. It will be an adult dragon at the least."
Keelia: (no Arcana. At some point one of us will sort this out )
joriandrake: I got history
DESTROYERBILL: most likeley an ancient if it was able to destroy two mrymidons with ease
Smon: GM: There appear to be two exits from here - doors to north and stairs to south.
joriandrake: (I don't think I get any more feat chances to take proficiency in Arcana, I know tool use can be learned, if this option exists for Arcana then I'll spend time for that)
Keelia: North?
Smon: The stairs are 15' wide and rise 15', looks like they go up to a large hall beyond, from which comes blue light. The doors to north are each 5' wide.
joriandrake: Drak will stealth/scout North then
joriandrake: (use Mage Hand to open from safe distance/angle)
Smon: GM: Drak heads over to north doors, checks for traps then mage hands them open. There is a 5' area they opened into with a second set of matching doors beyond. No traps on these either it looks like & not trapped, but you spot faint yellow light from underneath them, flickering like candle light.
Smon: The second doors open away from you.
joriandrake: o_O hidey hide
Keelia: "Check the second set of doors, please."
Smon: Drak can hide in NE corner of waterfall chamber if desired.
DESTROYERBILL: boss music plays
joriandrake: He'll hide in dim lights/shadows, even if it means he tracks back to others first (main reason I took Skulker feat)
Smon: OK
joriandrake rolls 1d20+15 and gets: 2, (+15) = 17
sandor sunneson: Sandor remains on alert, checks ground for any footprints or any marks of interest
Smon: There is a faint blue glow from the waterfall, creating dim light here
joriandrake: 25 Stealth
Smon: Sandor roll Survival
sandor sunneson: Survival Constitution?
Smon: *sigh*
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+9 and gets: 7, (+9) = 16
Keelia: wis
Smon: WIS+Prof
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 17, (+6) = 23
sandor sunneson: sorry, related it to HP
sandor sunneson: thank you Keelia
Keelia:
Smon: Sandor detects widespread scratch marks on the floor. Looks like something large and dragony went north from here.
sandor sunneson: He'll point it out to the others,
Smon: Judging by the marks it somehow appeared in this chamber before moving north. Marks near the waterfall indicare a brief fight there.
DESTROYERBILL: fergus rember there is no constitution checks only constitution saves
sandor sunneson: Looks like our target is in sight
Keelia: Q nods
joriandrake: sandor seems better investigator than the detective
joriandrake: How old are the marks?
Smon: Drak roll investigate
joriandrake rolls 1d20+14 and gets: 17, (+14) = 31
Keelia: nice
Smon: They look only months old, quite fresh.
joriandrake: actually better than my passive (which would be 29)
joriandrake: "hm, those 'moments' were not as long I assumed, the draconic marks are just a couple months old"
joriandrake: oh, and I forgot to add the +1 from the floating stone, so 32
DESTROYERBILL: shield biter will investigate the depth of the marks
joriandrake: (or not, nvm, this is INT)
sandor sunneson: press on carefully??
Smon: DC 30 It looks like the dragon must have been incorporeal or gaseous before manifesting here. Likely passed through the east door without triggering the trap, before encountering the elemental myrmidons.
Smon: SB roll Nature
Keelia: Someone cast wind walk on a dragon?
joriandrake: "Alertness is advised, this doesn't seem like a traditional dragon either, might be able to turn into mist or is a spellcaster"
sandor sunneson: or as a NPC
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20 and gets: 2,
Smon: GM: The scratches are pretty deep considering how hard the stone is.
Smon: About 1/4 inch
sandor sunneson: could this maybe be an ancient dragon?
DESTROYERBILL: most likeley an ancient then if its deep scratches and it can use magic
joriandrake: "I'm not an expert on dragons, but it is powerful"
DESTROYERBILL: dont qoute me on this but i belive i read that blue dragons are more likeley to cast magic in anceint hood than anything else its rare or use of magic in ancients but even rarer in adults
Keelia: Q considers. "We should move carefully and quietly. Stay together and be prepared to flee at any point should this situation spiral beyond us."
Smon: (GM OOC: Passive Investigation is not 'always on', but is used for repeated attempts at the same thing, eg when there is no time pressure, so can typically apply when checking a room for clues)
sandor sunneson: totally
sandor sunneson: Lets cautiouslly move on as a group, keeping an eye out for any suspicious or any odd noise or smell
8:28am 2019-4-06 joriandrake Has exited the room
Smon: GM: I'll NPC Drak a bit
Smon: Drak Mage hands the second set of doors open...
Smon: This large room seems to be some sort of chapel, yet no
pews or other concessions toward comfort are apparent.
The ceiling is low, just over ten feet in height, giving the
place a claustrophobic feeling compared to the high ceilings
in nearby chambers. The walls are of polished black stone,
while an upraised pulpit to the north supports a pale yellow
altar on which two fat candles flicker. A tall column stands to
either side of the altar; the length of each column is carved to
resemble an emaciated gargoyle-like figure that lacks all facial
features on its horned black head.
Keelia: "Evil alter," Q guesses.
Smon: There are double doors to east and west sides of the chapel, which is about 30' n-s to 50' or so e-w.
Keelia: She eyes the gargoyle like columns warily.
Smon: You can roll Religion if desired
Keelia: "Maybe we don't touch."
Keelia rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 20, (+4) = 24
Keelia: waste of a Crit
Smon: cult. The temple itself can be identified as
one dedicated to the awful glory of the Outer Gods and
the Great Old Ones, although it doesn’t seem to be devoted
to any one entity in particular. The two candles on the
altar appear lit with continual flame.
Smon: Can roll History (anyone)
Keelia: "Cult for Old Gods seems about right."
Keelia rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 2, (+10) = 12
Smon: Drakhaien: "This chamber was likely used by visitors from Leng as a
minor temple to carry out the more obscene acts of their
blasphemous cult..."
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20 and gets: 10,
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 5, (+7) = 12
Keelia: "My personal history says cults and alters are usually not a great thing to mess with. I wonder if they summoned the dragon somehow."
Smon: Drak: "The giants said the dragon came to Guiltspur with them, in service to Karzoug..."
Smon: OOC: I could really do with an Exposition NPC in the party. Maybe you could haul Sheila along.
Keelia: "True. But you've also got a dragon, perhaps the same one, managing to magically appear in the next room and pass through doors without trigger the traps. If the dragon was ancient enough, perhaps it could do that. Or perhaps it had some cultish help," she shrugs
Smon: OOC: You can all have 1500 XP so far today (Jorian too if he reads this)
Keelia: "Either way, cult-alters are bad," she grins, heading towards the Western doors
Smon: Quillax heads over to the west doors. Drak checks they're not trapped then mage hands them open.
Smon: A small chamber 20' n-s by 15' e-w, w wall curving to matching double doors in centre of w wall.
A human skeleton lies slumped against the northern wall here,
draped in a fine cloak and clutching a haversack to its chest. Something about it seems familiar to Quillax.
Smon: The cloak... it matches the ghostly cloak 'worn' by the curator.
Keelia: "Gotcha, you ghostly jerk," she grins.
Smon:
Keelia: "Now, we can put him down permanently."
8:40am 2019-4-06 joriandrake Has entered the room
joriandrake: hope this was all for the blackout
Smon: I'll post log so J can read it
Keelia: "No more of this reforming and harassing us."
Smon: Log so far https://smonscurseofthecrimsonthrone.blogspot.com/2019/04/ep-76.html
Keelia: Q will step close enough to investigate the corpse. "How do we put him down permanently? Do we burn him? Or bury him? I think I've got some holy water in my bag..."
Smon: Drak you are in a blasphemous temple to the Outer Gods just north of the waterfall. Quillax has stepped through the west doors & found skeleton that matches the ghost of the Curator.
Smon: GM: The skeleton also wears the Curator's bejewelled headband; it resembles a very ornate headband of intellect.
Keelia: Q plucks it from the skeleton.
sandor sunneson: Sandor tries it on for size
Keelia: (She passed it over to Sandor)
Keelia: She'll check him for other loot.
Smon: GM: You need some way to lay the ghost to rest, yes. A Divination spell or similar could uncover the exact means.
joriandrake: ("GM OOC: Passive Investigation is not 'always on' "- fair enough, I took Observant mainly because Passives like Investigation are pretty blurry in rules and wanted to ensure I even have that at all, but due to Rogue ability I still have always at least 24 in it, as it's trained proficiency and I can't have a roll lower than 10 )
Smon: Sandor puts on the band and feels a tingle of smarts (when attuned it gives +2 Int +2 Cha and proficiency in Perception, or Expertise in Perception if you already have Prof)
joriandrake: ("OOC: You can all have 1500 XP so far today (Jorian too if he reads this) - noted, but we didn't end session yet, right?)
sandor sunneson: (Attuned out unfort, so someone else can wear)
Smon: (J OOC - yes, I'm using the description for Passive scores in the PHB)
joriandrake: nice find, Sandor can keep that or maybe hand to Keelia, Drakhaien has those and would only benefit from CHA for 1 DC increase in spell save rolls
Keelia: Q will put it in the bag of holding. You never know what it will come in handy
Smon: Quillax checks the body - cloak is a cloak of protection. She opens the haversack - it holds two spellbooks of wizard spells.
joriandrake: the more people have expertise in perception the better
Smon: Also it's a Heward's Handy Haversack.
Keelia: Cloak of protection also goes into the bag
sandor sunneson: OOC- I've got a furniture delivery to take care off shortly, so if i go quiet I'll be back shortly
joriandrake: "oh, that is nice"
Keelia: Q just puts it all into the bag of holding to deal with later
Smon:
Smon: oops
joriandrake: I am not sure if my connection lasts either
Keelia: "Right. Let's figure out how to put this guy down permanently," Q mutters to herself
Keelia: (Oops? Oops is not good.)
Smon: There's a blast of magical energy as the the bag of holding ruptures, creating a swirling rift to the Astral Plane that sucks Quillax Sandor & I guess the others through, destroying haversack & bag.
joriandrake: T/he curator may rest in pieces, also in peace
joriandrake: o _O
Keelia: Well shit
Smon: OOC Putting everything into a bag of holding was bound to get you eventually.
sandor sunneson: oooh, wee twist there
Keelia: Figures.
joriandrake: what is the save to get out of this mess?
Smon: GM: Sandor & Quillax were definitely within 10' of the rift, J & B you can choose if you were
sandor sunneson: a 20 roll
Smon: (it's not an auto kill)
joriandrake: nope
joriandrake: still nope o.O
DESTROYERBILL: i go in i dont want quillax to be left alone
Keelia: IF we don't end up on a plane that kills us immediately, Q can take a long rest to swap spells for plane shift and get them all back.
joriandrake: In worst case Drakhaien will sneak out of here alone, astral/temporal/pocket dimension issues are terrible usually
Smon: GM: SB Sandor and Quillax tumble through into a starry void, floating in a shimmering astral sea. The stars shine overhead and in the far distance you can see what look like islands floating in the astral sea.
sandor sunneson: Don't think Sandor has been on astral plane before
Smon: The former contents of the bag of holding are strewn around in a mess about 30' across.
Smon: Drak is left alone in the Guiltspur.
joriandrake: (now, that is a good sign, they're not destroyed)
Keelia: Q sighs and starts picking up items.
DESTROYERBILL: ill help
sandor sunneson: Sandor picks up what is close to him
Keelia: "bloody curator."
joriandrake: (you might even get back to the proper plane)
Keelia: "thanks," she says and starts bundling stuff into the cloak as well as filling up her pockets with smaller items.
Smon: GM: You find you can move slowly around via willpower alone (or flapping wings).
8:56am 2019-4-06 joriandrake Has exited the room
Smon: encounter check...
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,
Keelia: "Bloody astral plane. Bloody curator. Bloody ghosts."
Smon: LOL
Smon: see how bad it is, 6 is worse...
Smon: /roll d6
sandor sunneson: lol
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 5,
Keelia: (well, at least we get XP out of it, if we survive )
sandor sunneson: get ready Bill,
sandor sunneson: great way to go!
DESTROYERBILL: if its not to bad we can probably kill it
Smon: Something big is swimming towards you through the starry void.
Keelia: Q squints at it and starts picking up things faster
DESTROYERBILL: quillax you might want to use your 9th level polymorth thing
Smon: Getting rapidly closer....
Keelia: Can we see what it is?
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnUIoU-exlw_xwE29on-jTZyZfkEILNrtSzSoXp2S-txIUgf7TVZE9x62VT6VqufocE956bmbmwS7WKcl5hM5eEfloMQmuTRCi_LF0I4LfA66f6rAH8dlSj5-dzwMyGQpTXFqs4GgqH61g/s640/tumblr_inline_nj9x6bg1VN1r0zz7o.jpg
Keelia: Nature?
Keelia: Investigation?
sandor sunneson: delivery here
Keelia: Well,
Smon: GM: You have picked up most of the stuff as the Astral Dreadnought comes within attack range...
DESTROYERBILL: holy mother of god
Smon: As big as an ancient dragon and covered in thick spiked plates, the the dreadnought has two gnarled limbs ending in razor sharp pincer claws.
DESTROYERBILL: beam me up scotty beam me up oh god please save me
Smon: SB starts gibbering in fear.
Smon: Roll init please
Keelia rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 9, (+3) = 12
DESTROYERBILL Rolls 1d20+4x2 and gets:
9 (+4) = 13
19 (+4) = 23
Smon: /roll d20-2
Smon rolls 1d20-2 and gets: 9, (-2) = 7
sandor sunneson: i'll be back in 5 mins
DESTROYERBILL: ive only heard about these monstrositys they can sever you tye to your soul
Smon: GM: It has a move of 80', your move is 40' (SB) or equal your INT, so you're not outrunning it.
9:04am 2019-4-06 sandor sunneson Has exited the room
Smon: OK it's about 300' away right now. SB your go
DESTROYERBILL: i rage
DESTROYERBILL: and get ready to attack
Smon: #12 Quillax your go
DESTROYERBILL: i say to quillax turn into somthing big quick
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20 and gets: 3,
Keelia: The problem is it's just a little too far away to do nasty things to.
Smon: You can do nothing if you want, or cast a spell etc
Keelia: She'll do two things. She'll ready a spell and she'll turn into an air elemental, probably has the best movement in astral space
Smon: ok what spell?
DESTROYERBILL: cast a spell you can cast a level 9 spell that can turn you into a being of cr 19 right the true polymorph
Keelia: one sec, just need to double check beast spells allows me to cast V S and M
Keelia: I don't have true polymorph, I just have polymorph, which I can cast level 9
Smon: You can't provide components or focus in shaped form but can use any w just V & S
9:10am 2019-4-06 sandor sunneson Has entered the room
Smon: Fergus roll init
DESTROYERBILL: but you turned into an adult red dragon before
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 13, (+3) = 16
DESTROYERBILL: advantage fergus
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 15, (+3) = 18
Smon: OK what is Sandor doing? Dreadnought is 300' away
sandor sunneson: what are the others doing??
Smon: SB readies an attack, Q is pondering
Keelia: True, I have taken dragon form. Simon, will you allow polymorph on myself at level 9 to take adult red dragon form again?
sandor sunneson: Sandor readies
Keelia: Q has had a very bad day, a red dragon would fit her temperament about now
Smon: Also Q turns into an air elemental & could outrun it
Smon: S readies an attack
Keelia: Unless she can drag the others with her, she's not going to leave them behind
sandor sunneson: and positions up beside SB
DESTROYERBILL: quillax you need to cast your sunurst spell on it if it cant see us it loses some of its mager powers
Smon: Polymorph is any Beast up to your CR/level
DESTROYERBILL: we need to take out the eye that is the most important bit thats were its main power comes from its soul cutting attack is based off sight
Keelia: including dragons?
Smon: SB has been studying Archmage Dyson's beastiaries
DESTROYERBILL: the eye is everything everything
Smon: Dragons aren't Beasts.
sandor sunneson: That looks like a 600HP monster from the link sent
Smon: Beasts http://chisaipete.github.io/bestiary/tags/beast
Smon: GM: Is Quillax casting a Readied spell?
Keelia: yes, when it gets close, she's going to sunburst it.
Smon: GM: SB decides to eat his pink cleebus cheese
Keelia: (I need higher CR rated beasts.)
Smon: His hide grows pink & knobbly
DESTROYERBILL: ac=28
Smon: GM OK Q's hands glow golden as she casts Sunburst and holds it readied - the level 8 Sunburst spell range 150', not Sunbeam 60' range yes?
DESTROYERBILL: pink kllebus
Keelia: (so polymorph doesn't do higher levels - same benefits, it looks like)
Keelia: yes, sunburst for the 150' range I don't want it that close to me
Smon: Sunburst has 60' radius so effective range 150+60 = 230'
DESTROYERBILL: what ever you do just blind it
Keelia: perfect. She'll zoom up just close enough and cast
Smon: GM: #7 Dreadnought - it advances rapidly; as it comes within range Q unleashes a Sunburst at its eye...
Smon: save DC?
Keelia: (god I hope it fails the con save but I think it probably won't.)
Keelia: 19
Smon: GM OOC As you are specifically targeting its eye I am being kind and disallowing Legendary Resistance, so it could fail.
Keelia: very kind , thanks
Smon: /roll d20+7
Smon rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 8, (+7) = 15
DESTROYERBILL: thanks

Keelia rolls 12d6 and gets: 5, 4, 4, 6, 6, 4, 3, 1, 4, 5, 2, 6, = 50
Keelia: blinded for the moment, anyway
Smon: The creature roars angrily, it comes within 300-160 = 140' of you but cannot blast you with its eye as dazzled.
Smon: also 50 radiant dmg
Smon: It gets another save at end of its turn
Smon: /roll d20+7

Keelia: I need to boost my spell save.
DESTROYERBILL: got any more of those blinding spells
Keelia: Sunbeam blinds also
Smon: R2
Smon: Range is 140'. #23 SB your go
DESTROYERBILL: i pull out my bow and shoot twice at the beasts eyes
DESTROYERBILL: or eye
sandor sunneson: aye aye

Smon: 2 javelins I'll allow assume fast load quiver
sandor sunneson Rolls 1d20+8x2 and gets:

Keelia: She'll zoom up closer and raise both her hands and lay down a sunbeam straight at it's eye
Keelia: "Did no one ever tell you not to look at the sun," she quips
Keelia: "You may go blind."
Smon: Sunbeam normally needs a magnifying glass or spell focus - what is your normal focus?
Smon: You can roll DC 15 Religion or Nature to extrude your focus as a bonus action
Keelia rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 10, (+10) = 20
Smon: OK you extrude some mistletoe I guess?
Keelia: sounds amusing
Smon: Q-lemental flies straight at the massive dreadnought, light blasting from her hands... very Marvel movie

Smon: Anti-magic field - you lose all your magic bonuses & casting ability. Q's form counts as natural I'm ruling so she stays an elemental.
Smon: However she cannot shift form
Keelia: OK
Smon: The Dreadnought reaches Q and tears at her with its terrible claws.
Smon: & bite

Smon: Q-lemental on 2 hp right?
DESTROYERBILL: shield biter screams in pain as the only thing he is not resistent to hits him
Smon: #18 Sandor your go
Keelia: (yes, she is)
sandor sunneson: Bill, you think I should attack it with sword or go for the glory eye shot with javelin?
sandor sunneson: and Keelia, please discuss ha ha
Smon: You are out of 30' range to target eye w javelin
sandor sunneson: or just bring it down HP wise?
Smon: Can't do a called shot if you already have disad
DESTROYERBILL: you cant reach it with sword but your javilin is to inacurate to hit the eye
sandor sunneson: Sandor will attack it, best form of attack for a barb
Smon: Sandor can float slowly towards it across the astral sea
Smon: What's your INT - 12?
sandor sunneson: and gets ready to rage
sandor sunneson: 13
Smon: OK you float 26' towards it on a double move
Smon: It had closed to 60' so 60-26 = 34'
Smon: Next round would be close enough to target eye
Smon: #12 Quillax
Keelia: She'll GTF out of there
Smon: Disengage & fly 90'?
Keelia: assuming the anti magic is still up?
Smon: yup
Keelia: then yes, with 2 hp, she's not exactly in a good place

Smon: It does keep an eye on Q so she's still in the a-m field for now

DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 1, (+1) = 2
Keelia: This is going to go very badly
Smon: SB appears in a vast vaulted cavern amidst the decayed remains of the Dreadnought's past victims - and piles of treasure.
Smon: 39000 gp, 35000 pp, Platinum Stele inlaid with Adamantine (7500 gp), Sable Longsword Scabbard inlaid with Orichalcum (7500 gp), Ermine Sash wreathed in Golden Continual Flame (7500 gp), Platinum Sundial set with Yellow sapphire (7500 gp), Spell Scroll (Demiplane) (very rare, dmg 200), Spell Scroll (Maze) (very rare, dmg 200), Potion of Storm Giant Strength (legendary, dmg 187), 2 x Potion of Supreme Healing (very rare, dmg 187), Universal Solvent (legendary, dmg 209)

Smon: OK you can disengage and move 13', or take an opp att & go 26'

Smon: OK S floats slowly away from the dreadnought.
Smon: #12 Quillax - you fly out of the beam
Smon: Power returns...
Keelia: Phew
Keelia: (as an air elemental, am I strong enough to tow Sandor along with me in this plane? since's its more like flying than walking?)
Smon: Yes he's small enough to pick up & carry at full speed
Keelia: Seeing as SB has gone awol, she'll grab Sandor and double time it out of there
Smon: OK you can swoop round and close in 90', grab Sandor, you'd have 90' left at a double move & it gets an opp att
Smon: So it'd have to miss you for you to escape
Smon: it'd have to roll a 1 to miss you
Keelia: Hm. I have 2 HP. If it hits, we're screwed...
Keelia: ok, that won't happen
Keelia: how close is sandor to the baddie?
Smon: 13' from tip of its claws
Smon: just out of its 10' reach
Smon: hm...
Keelia: OK. She'll zoom up, and lay down another line of sunbeam at it's eyes.
Keelia: or eye, rather
Smon: Actually yeah you can grab him w 3' to spare!
Smon: sorry my mistake
Keelia: so no opp att?
Smon: You can grab him and flee yup
Smon: (I thought Sandor's slow float away was silly but it works!)
Keelia: then we are gone
sandor sunneson: cool, thank you Keelia
Smon: GM: Quillax swoops in, catches up Sandor and flies away at full speed

Smon: Quillax your turn - you could reach the island and leave off Sandor under some palms?
Keelia: Sounds like a plan. Can she see SB is back?
Smon: An unseen sun shines through the waving palms.
Smon: Yes, looking back Q sees SB battling in the distance

Smon: GM: You have triumphed. SB gets Epic Boon +2 CON. Quillax gets +16,500 XP
Smon: And should probably check her XP tally
Keelia: I'll do that tomorrow and see where I ended up
Smon: GM: The desert island looks a nice place to spend the week while you rest up and Q prepares Plane Shift.
Keelia: Q will tow SB to where she left S and rest to get plane shift
Smon: 1 subjective week later you are healed up - nothing bothers the astral dreadnought slayers...
Smon: SB has the eye, it has clouded over a bit, resembling a giant quartz gem.
Keelia: Q will go and collect all her random s*** that exploded everywhere from her bag of holding, wrap it up in cloaks and once she finds Claw, start putting stuff into HIS bag of holding - except the ghost dude's stuff because that caused some issues
Keelia: she does occasionally learn from the stuff that happens to her. Sometimes. When she can be bothered
Smon: GM: Where do you want to Plane Shift to on Golarion?
Smon: You can go to a general location only
Keelia: that's ok, we can tree stride if we need to
Keelia: Mm, probably back to our usual town's area. Q will drop off her stuff, pick up a new bag of holding then have to go find the rest of the party
Smon: Jorgenfist? Magnimar? Wolf's Ear?
Keelia: wolf's ear. She'll head home to the library first
Smon: Library is at Jorgenfist
Keelia: Jorgenfist, I mean. Q is from wolf's ear, so it's the same thing in my head
Smon: GM: Q Plane Shifts the trio back to Jorgenfist, her followers are delighted and amazed to see her again. Clank: "Mistress! We thought you were dead! Seven months you were gone!"
Keelia: "Ah. That's not good," she replies. "Had a small accident. Ended up on another plane," she explains.
Smon: "Dire tidings my lady! The Rune Lords are on the March! Many Pathfinders and others have been lost..."
Keelia: "We're going to need to get caught up on what's been happening. Obviously time works differently where we were."
DESTROYERBILL: oh shit my wife is going to kill me
Keelia: Q's words are not repeatable
Keelia: "I think we have slightly bigger problems than that," she comments to SB. "You go home, check in, I'll find Claw and Drak."
Smon: GM: OK will stop there for now.
Keelia: Great game, thanks!
Smon: Was fun
