ep 95 19/2/4720 Dead Heart of Xin #10 - Siccatite Vault - Fall of Xin Golem


Smon: GM Ok end of last sesh you retreated from the Xin-Haunted Siccatite-Infused Iron Golem.
Smon: http://smonscurseofthecrimsonthrone.blogspot.com/2019/10/ep-94.html
Smon: You went back to the Noqual Vault where you defeated the 2 Elder Crystallis despite Claw being stoned and recovered your hp.
JamesDevil: yea, acid cloud and absorbs fire -.-
joriandrake: right, we were meant to heal up/ prepare
joriandrake: Does quillax have anti-fire or ice defence?
Smon: Let me know when you go back again, if that's still your intent.
Keelia: Nope
JamesDevil: "ok, so I left both a life-stealing greataxe here that does necro damage, i've also got a regular +1 incase that get absorbed as well
JamesDevil: "
joriandrake: The iron golem is a construct, but also counts as undead when posessed
chris107: M has her Eldritch Blasts for force damage.
JamesDevil: "Quillx could you fly to the roff and attack it from there?"
Smon: GM: You can collect desired gear & heal up in a minute or so using the Sihedron.
joriandrake: but it isn't considered uncorporeal ghost anymore either, so that special scimitar might not help
Keelia: She considers. "I could but we don't know if the windows open."
JamesDevil: There are windows?
Smon: There are no windows in the vaults.
joriandrake: Drakh isn't certain if he could hide from the golem, if yes, I might attempt to sneak attack it with CHill TOuch (worst named cantrip ever) that causes necrotic damage and special extra against undead targets
Keelia: "You said fly off roof. How am i to get into the vault if no windows?"
JamesDevil: "Soz I meant to the ceiling, my bad"
Smon: He meant fly up to the ceiling
Smon:
Smon: (I get used to Jorian)
JamesDevil: how large is it btw Smn?
Keelia: Ah!!  I can get up to the ceiling, sure.
JamesDevil: giant, large, etc?
joriandrake: "Well, teleportation could work, or passing through walls as a spirit, Can't do either of those myself tho" Drakh ponders "We could also use this chance to return with two dimension doors to the town with all the loot, then back"
Keelia: I don't think teleportation can work - tried to planeshift him out and he said there were wards
joriandrake: Perhaps not this room?
Smon: The golem is huge, about 15' tall with 10' arms. It looked like it could not reach someone pressed up against the nearly 30' high ceiling.
joriandrake: Drakhaien looks around to see if he spots any wards
JamesDevil: damn
joriandrake: Heh, walking and laying on the ceiling could work
JamesDevil: I think we'll just have to suck it and see
joriandrake: spider climb stuff
JamesDevil: If you guys can range him i *might* be able to keep him still
Smon: The whole palace seems shielded vs ingress/egress, though there may be special summoning chambers you're not aware of.
chris107: Works for me
joriandrake: "If Chill Touch works on the posessed golem, as undead, it may stop it from regenerating"
joriandrake: "Well, this room can't be used for teleportation by us either, probably there are some escape rooms though, but we didn't find them yet"
JamesDevil: give it a go, then we try taking it down the hard way
JamesDevil: we're going to just have to place it by ear i think
JamesDevil: right, lets get started we've not get long before Keelia has to go
chris107: M will spend an action to turn on her Holy Nymbus before we return.
Smon: ok
Smon: /roll d2
Smon rolls 1d2 and gets: 2
joriandrake: ok, keep it busy, distracted, so Drakh can hide behind the golem to sneak attack/shoot it, and will do it with chill touch first
Keelia: (Q's still got the timeglass running)
JamesDevil: Claw picks up his axes
Smon: GM: You gather again on the Sihedron....
Smon: Quillax has the real Sihedron unless passed on.
joriandrake: hm
Keelia: Can Q ready a spell?
Smon: (no) Quillax uses the energy of a cantrip to activate the Siccatite prong of the floor Sihedron and you flash on to the next chamber.
joriandrake: new init?
Smon: The Siccatite Vault is icy cold (5 cold damage). The Xin golem is waiting for you by the floor Sihedron, eyes flashing green... roll init
Smon: /roll d20-1
Smon rolls 1d20-1 and gets: 20, (-1) = 19
chris107: 179/184
chris107 Rolls 1d20+2x2 and gets:
19 (+2) = 21
4 (+2) = 6
JamesDevil Rolls 1d20+2x2 and gets:
18 (+2) = 20
14 (+2) = 16
joriandrake rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 20, (+5) = 25
chris107: big numbers
Keelia rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 10, (+3) = 13
Keelia: There you go, a low one
Smon: Well done most of you, beating my 20
chris107: (Who doesn't want the S passing to them today?)
Smon: #25 Drak #21 Mal #20 Claw #19 Golem #13 Quillax
Smon: #25 Drak there is currently no cover and the icy floor is difficult terrain (the fog next round will give cover).
Smon: /roll d4x2
Smon Rolls 1d4x2 and gets:
2 = 2
1 = 1
joriandrake: This won't be easy, he waited for us and the golem is still posessed. Drakh begins with Mirror Image cast, and stepping between our warriors for defence
Smon: The golem is adjacent to Mal & Claw so can be sneak attacked.
joriandrake: oh
joriandrake: even better
joriandrake: In this case Drakh casts Chill TOuch on it
Smon: (lucky roll, could have been adjacent to Quillax & Drak)
joriandrake rolls 1d20+9 and gets: 4, (+9) = 13
joriandrake: stoke of luck
joriandrake: I make the spell hit as I assume it would miss
Smon: ok
joriandrake: Necrotic sneak attack
Smon: AC 20
joriandrake rolls 4d8 and gets: 6, 6, 3, 8, = 23
joriandrake rolls 10d6 and gets: 5, 1, 5, 3, 2, 1, 3, 6, 1, 4, = 31
JamesDevil: nice start
joriandrake: 54 hp necro, and and it can’t regain hit points until the start of your next turn. Until then, the hand clings to the target. If you hit an undead target, it also has disadvantage on attack rolls against you until the end of your next turn.
chris107: 10HP radiant from her nymbus. very nice
joriandrake: Drakh moves into a better defensive position behing allies, and end turn
Smon: GM Xin laughs as the necrotic energy splays harmlessly off the Golem. "Ha ha ha! Necrotic energy does not affect me in any way!"
joriandrake: ... this spell was made mainly against the undead
Smon: #21 Malassandra
chris107: 10 Radiant. Withdraw action to allow Eldritch Blasting next time from range. End turn.
Smon: OK Mal retreats to the far side of the room.
Keelia: (it's in a golem)
Smon: #20 Claw
chris107: (Does the radiant appear to do damage?)
JamesDevil: +1 stealing great axe
Smon: (no)
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+17 and gets: 7, (+17) = 24
Smon: hit
JamesDevil rolls 2d12+15 and gets: 12, 12, (+15) = 39
joriandrake: "This thing might require brute force to defeat"
chris107: wow
joriandrake: nice roll!
JamesDevil: yay for epic bonus damage die
JamesDevil: next attack
Smon: The axe chomps into it.
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+17 and gets: 7, (+17) = 24
Smon: hit
JamesDevil rolls 2d12+15 and gets: 1, 9, (+15) = 25
JamesDevil:
JamesDevil: end turn
Smon: Claw whacks at its legs. It doesn't seem to have healed up the damage he inflicted last time BTW
Smon: The Xin Golem attacks Quillax (naturally)
JamesDevil: awesome
Smon: /roll d20+15x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+15x2 and gets:
9 (+15) = 24
5 (+15) = 20
Keelia: (yep! he doesn't like her)
Keelia: one hit
Keelia: AC 22
Keelia: but he has dis
Keelia: against her due to timeglass
Smon: ok call that a miss on 1st attack
Smon: He'd also have disad from the Sihedron giving you Foresight
Smon: 2nd attack (cold arm)
Keelia: Then I have double foresight
Smon: /roll d20+15x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+15x2 and gets:
16 (+15) = 31
12 (+15) = 27
Smon: hit, 45 slashing & 15 cold
Keelia: (i can see into infinity, like a standing between two mirrors)
Keelia: Brr
Smon: Mal you are over by the western shelf which has 2 dozen siccatite bars, 12 hot 12 cold on it, retail value 1000gp each.
chris107: Sihedron?
Smon: Its fists are shaped like Sihedrons for slashing
Keelia: Q can pass it with her reacton
Keelia: *reaction to M
chris107: Thanks Keelia
Smon: (ok you both heal up, also rem healing at start of your turn if you already have it)
Smon: #13 Quillax
chris107: 184/184
JamesDevil: o yea, i frogot to roll temp health from m y axe, nvm
Keelia: Sunbeam
Smon: con save w disad for undead/golem
Keelia: yep
Smon: /roll d20+5x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+5x2 and gets:
19 (+5) = 24
5 (+5) = 10
Smon: 10 fail
chris107:
Keelia: failed (21)
Keelia rolls 6d8 and gets: 5, 4, 6, 6, 6, 6, = 33
Smon: It counts as undead vs radiant effects, the downside of its necrotic immunity
chris107: (But my radiant did no damage?)
Keelia: it's still blinded which is the best of it
JamesDevil: and fire absorption apparently -.-
Smon: It takes damage from radiant as if undead, so a smite would do d8 extra. Which radiant do you mean Chris?
chris107: Holy Nymbus, 10 points / round
chris107: 30' r
Smon: ok, you need to tell me stuff like that
joriandrake: (I have one fire and one necrotic damage cantrip, I already knew I can't use fire, no necrotic either, have to change tactics)
chris107: I did
Keelia: Q will swap to EE form
Smon: I've added 10 dmg to it
Keelia: as her bonus action
chris107: Thanks
Smon: I'll add another 20 for last session too
Smon: OK Quillax shifts to earth elemental
Smon: R2 - the room shifts to boiling hot, take 5 fire damage. The steam allows hide checks, as does it being blinded
chris107: 179/184
JamesDevil: 3 for me?
Smon: #25 Drak you can bonus action hide if you want to sneak attack
Smon: Totem rage 5/2 = 2
joriandrake: Drakh moves 30 feet to be behind the golem and far from it, bonus action hide for advantage
Smon: Just a steam room for Claw, don't stay in more than 10 minutes
JamesDevil: "that tickles
joriandrake: action: cast Tasha's Hideous Laughter on it, it seems to have a "insane) mind so might find stuff funny, and has to roll save with disadvantage due to AT class feature
joriandrake: Wisdom save
joriandrake: Magical Ambush class feature, Wis save with disadv VS Hideous Laughter
joriandrake: If required I can roll Stealth, but it can't be worse than 27 and Drakh loses stealth right after the casting of spell anyway
Smon: ok normally it'd be immune but with Xin's ghost in it I'd say not
joriandrake: yay
joriandrake: DC 17 WIS, disadv
Smon: I'll need to use Xin's own WIS save though which is +12 (WIS +5, Prof +7)
Smon: /roll d20+12x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+12x2 and gets:
12 (+12) = 24
10 (+12) = 22
joriandrake: ok, end turn
Smon: He resists
chris107: Choses Generosity prong and sends four Eldritch (force) blasts at it. + 10 Radiant from Nymbus. Reaction the S to Q. HP 184/184
chris107 Rolls 1d20+16x4 and gets:
10 (+16) = 26
8 (+16) = 24
10 (+16) = 26
13 (+16) = 29
Smon: 4 hits
chris107 rolls 4d10 and gets: 4, 6, 4, 1, = 15
chris107: she looks for signs of damage?
Smon: It's taken 210 (including 25 from Mal just now)
chris107: cool. End turn.
joriandrake: (I'll ask for the Sihedron for next round)
Smon: #20 claw, you have advtg
JamesDevil Rolls 1d20+19x2 and gets:
15 (+19) = 34
4 (+19) = 23
JamesDevil rolls 2d12+15 and gets: 11, 8, (+15) = 34
JamesDevil Rolls 1d20+17x2 and gets:
19 (+17) = 36
19 (+17) = 36
Smon: hack, hack
JamesDevil: woops, roll that wfirst one wrong, nvm, made it anyway
JamesDevil rolls 2d12+15 and gets: 10, 4, (+15) = 29
JamesDevil: end turn
Smon: 273 dmg, it's looking cracked!
chris107: He's a beast!
Smon: It attacks Quillax-emental w disad
Smon: /roll d20+15x4
Smon Rolls 1d20+15x4 and gets:
5 (+15) = 20
13 (+15) = 28
7 (+15) = 22
15 (+15) = 30
JamesDevil: I just did 60 damage to it, yet its still not attacking me -.-
Keelia: ac 17
Keelia: (it hates me more. Shame on you barbarian  )
Keelia: But it's blinded sitll
joriandrake: (it wants to kill the known spellcaster first)
Keelia: *still
Smon: 20 & 22, 2 hits on earth form, 120 dmg sp 6 hp left
joriandrake: (Perhaps it has a real short distance blindsight or such)
Keelia: ouch
Smon: #13 Quillax
Keelia: Drop EE form. Lay down a new line of sunbeam
Keelia: pass S to Drak and shift back to EE form
Keelia rolls 6d8 and gets: 4, 3, 2, 3, 6, 6, = 24
Smon: GM: OOC it was supposed to have magic resistance, I'm saying it kicks in when bloodied.
joriandrake: (thanks, healed back up)
Smon: /roll d20+5
Smon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 20, (+5) = 25
Keelia: dis against CON save for 21
Smon: ok magic resistance cancels disad, it makes the save
Keelia: Boo.
Smon: (even normal golems have magic resistance, I guess being haunted weakened it!)
Keelia:
joriandrake: (who wishes to get the S after Drakh passes it down?)
JamesDevil: as if it wasn't powerful enough -.-
chris107: (M)
Keelia: (M is next in the line)
Smon: R3 The room turns cold again, 5 cold dmg
chris107: 179/184
Smon: Xin can see again. "I can see! I can see perfectly!"
Smon: #25 Drak
JamesDevil: 319/325
joriandrake: hm, I guess I don't have to ask if there's dim light in this room after that comment
Smon: yeah you can't Hide now, no cover
joriandrake: Drakh uses back where he is S's casting of Improved Invisibility, bonus action hide, passes S to M, end turn
Smon: Your minimum Stealth roll is what btw?
joriandrake: 27
Smon: ok DC 23 so pass
Smon: I assume you move away a bit from your current location
chris107: Mallxandra, seeing that her radiance is having an effect charges in the 30' and attacks with the sun Sword. Choosinhg to kill it with Kindness.
Smon: #21 Mal
joriandrake: (and if its still alive next round, I start to shoot it with adv invisibly)

Smon: Xin: "Let's try something slightly different..."
Smon: He breathes out a vast cloud of greenish poison gas, 30' cone.
Smon: 50% chance Drak is in the AoE
Smon: /roll d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets: 98,
chris107: Add M's +6 guys
Keelia: immune

JamesDevil rolls 1d10+20 and gets: 10, (+20) = 30
joriandrake: (which circle is QUillax belonging to?)
Smon: 90 poison dmg, half on a save
JamesDevil:

Smon: R4 5 fire dmg, fog rolls
joriandrake rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 6, (+3) = 9
chris107: 84/184
Smon: #25 Drak
joriandrake: Imp. Inv concentration fails, but it doesn't matter due to it being blinded
Keelia: If Q had sihedron, she passed it to Drak.
Keelia: (I've lost track of it)
chris107: She does
joriandrake: ok
JamesDevil: needs to go to M really
joriandrake: Drakh shoots with advantage at golem's back, weak point at neck or such
Smon: OK
joriandrake: Generosity used
joriandrake Rolls 1d20+15x2 and gets:
8 (+15) = 23
2 (+15) = 17
joriandrake rolls 1d20+15 and gets: 13, (+15) = 28

joriandrake rolls 10d6 and gets: 6, 5, 6, 6, 5, 5, 1, 1, 5, 5, = 45

Smon: 53 dmg, taken 456
joriandrake: 53 hp magical arrow sneak attack, bonus action hide a bit further away, M gets the S, end turn
Smon: An arrow sprouts from its neck.
joriandrake: (Yes, it was the 3rd adv dice for Elven Accuracy)
Smon: OK Drak circles the room on tiptoe
Smon: It's not an "advantage die" so you confused me
Smon: #21 Mal
chris107: M chooses Kindness and continues her attack with the sunsword. 104/184HP
chris107 Rolls 1d20+15x2 and gets:
19 (+15) = 34

chris107 rolls 6d8+38 and gets: 3, 4, 7, 4, 1, 4, (+38) = 61
chris107: +10 Nymbus 71 Rad.
chris107: Passes S to Q
Smon: The sunsword buries itself in the golem's iron heart. It staggers back and keels over with a crash.
Smon: The green light in its eyes dies.
Smon: 6 vaults down, 1 to go!
JamesDevil: "Hurray!
Smon: (out of combat)
Keelia: Q readies another line of sunbeam in case the ghost appears
chris107: "Poor Xin! My emperor is gone." Weeps Mal.
joriandrake: "Great job" Drakh says "Let's search and loot this place, then get out before it hurts us more"
JamesDevil: "Right lets take all of the bars back up one vault, that will become OUR vault ^^"
Keelia: Q drops her EE form to pat Mal on the back. "All that is left is an echo of him, and an unkind one at that. It would better serve his memory to destroy this evil. We need to find that reliquary."
chris107: Mal takes courage from the wise words of Quillax.
Keelia: (OK guys, I stayed later than I planned to see the fight through, so I need to head out.)
chris107: (Have a great week Keelia  )
Smon: GM: Claw with energy resistance and thick gloves can scoop up the burning hot/cold bars. You take some damage but heal up w Sihedron
Keelia: (If you keep going, you can use Q's EE form or things like that  )
joriandrake: Claw is right, we can use that one for our advantage, but before last battle we better move it all home, I worry the whole place may crash down or explode once Xin is being defeated
JamesDevil: "it mentioned 'Belmedra' sounds like it'll be a nasty servant"
joriandrake: bye K
Keelia: (Have a great week and I look forward to next game!!)
Keelia: (bye!)
Smon: Mal can roll Arcana DC 20
Smon: Bye K!
chris107: Does M recognise the name?
JamesDevil: Bye Keelia
chris107: Can she do it with a bonus from the S?
8:52am  2019-10-12 Keelia Has exited the room
Smon: if the prong grants a bonus
chris107: ah no
chris107: bonuson proficiant skills
chris107: She is not proficient
chris107 rolls 1d20 and gets: 19,
chris107: drat! Needed a 20
Smon: hm, close.  A female demon, perhaps?
joriandrake: If M fails it Drakh will also attempt History or Arcana...
Smon: DC 30 for Drak
Smon: Arcana
chris107:
joriandrake: Well, I already used stroke of luck... so not a lot of chances for it
joriandrake rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 3, (+10) = 13
joriandrake: yep, 23
JamesDevil: To Claw it sounds like some kind of burrito
Smon: Belmedra is a name contemporary with Xin and not well known even 11,000 years ago, Drak doesn't recall any details.
chris107:
joriandrake: we have burritos here?
joriandrake: "well... I assume she dual wields at least, or has more arms, in any case I hope Quillax can blind her too"
Smon: GM: Do you want to do the final Vault w 3 PCs while Q guards the treasure?
chris107: Pass the Sihedron back and forth as we chat..
JamesDevil: i prefer melee guys
chris107: I'm game
joriandrake: We can try it, and flee if its too hard
Smon: You have retreated to the Noqual vault
JamesDevil: @smn noooooooo way
chris107: HP back at maximum?
Smon: Next game in 3 weeks >:)
JamesDevil: yep, then end the sesh methinks
Smon: Yes you can Sihedron yourselves back to full hp
chris107: Claw ?!
JamesDevil: what was the loot btw? 10 skymetal bar?
joriandrake: sheesh then yes, 3 week wait no way, lets try
chris107:
Smon: 24 bars, worth 1000 each.
chris107: More Barbarian wimpiness?
joriandrake: siccatite bars
JamesDevil: cool, noting it down
joriandrake: I assume half is fiery and half is icy?
JamesDevil: don't want Keelia to miss out
Smon: yes half and half
chris107: Barbarians ain't what they used to be
Smon: Can be used to forge flametongue & frostbrand weapons & similar
joriandrake: Might be interesting for armor if you are imune to cold or fire damage, but likely best to use for weapon smithing
chris107: Ooooo nice!
Smon: Without enchantment a Siccatite weapon does +1 fire or +1 cold
JamesDevil: this is out of games reasons, anyway, see you guys next session have a nice day!
chris107: Take care James. See you in 3 weeks
Smon: OK bye James, we'll end there then
joriandrake: I think I'll make a list of potential custom items from all the skymetal we found, for the part that's Drakh's, to craft various masks
joriandrake: bye James
8:59am  2019-10-12 JamesDevil Has exited the room
joriandrake: ok, thanks for DMing Simon

Keelia: hi james

chris107: Hi James
Smon: >>Smon: (the scimitar is an alloy of inubrix & steel) Looking at the floor you can see the next vault should be Noqual, then Sicatite, then Abysium the final one.<<
joriandrake: hello everyone, sorry I'm stil lafk, my mom woke up late so I prepare her meal and tea atm
chris107: We have passed the Sihedron and healed?
chris107: Hi Jorian
JamesDevil: did spome take that sword or should i stick in the bag?
joriandrake: Sihedron passed to someone else, don't give it to Drakh this session either, I will try something
chris107: stick it in the bag for now?
JamesDevil: k
chris107: cool
JamesDevil: was that a +1 smn?
chris107: Only time M would not want it is if big damaging spells are being chucked around and she would need her reaction to Shield Master.
JamesDevil: or ghost touch?
chris107: No bonuses, just extra dam v undead
JamesDevil: k, cool
JamesDevil: extra d6 right?
chris107: M all ready to roll onto the next vault
chris107: Double I think
Smon: Incorporeal undead are Vulnerable to the scimitar, = x2 dmg.
JamesDevil: coolio, thanks
Smon: M gathers up the group onto the Sihedron & activates it?
joriandrake: ok, back
chris107: yup
JamesDevil: we not healing?
chris107: we did that James
JamesDevil: k, missed that, gogo
joriandrake: > a ghost touch scimitar - incorporeal undead are Vulnerable to all damage from it (x2 dmg) but it has no inherent bonus.
joriandrake: doubles damage to everything
Keelia: I'll claim that if no else else does, to go with my silver scimitar
JamesDevil: go for it
joriandrake: use it for now, alter we hand it ower to NPCs so they can replivate the creation process
joriandrake: later*
JamesDevil: one less thing for me to track
joriandrake: (sorry for typos, coffee still in hand, not belly)
Smon: OK, there's a flash and your surroundings shift again...
The Noqual Vault. The walls here gleam with sheets of semitransparent green
metal plates. Arms and armor forged from the same green
metal are displayed on short pedestals throughout the room.
Two 10' tall crystalline elementals flank the floor Sihedron, looking down at you... https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWIb00p8ERgKbXlNIUXzi_acBInw7QiKQb_1xGawpe78ieNCEkOeYEuCrQh4OR1qOAJfmkruKU7nvEF_Ym5so5lbIJg3blGu6k-_rWBfRukridVkR-mhe9Jk_TXmL_9-HSgn2MxcuLwNeK/s400/elder+crystallis.bmp
chris107: Does M recognize them?
Keelia: (I want to be able to take that form.  )
joriandrake: Drakh investigates the room from his standing point, Magic Detection might still be active since last session too
JamesDevil: minor not, Claw and Quilla are still not wearing anything
JamesDevil: lol K
JamesDevil: note*
joriandrake: so PP / PI and likely magic auras
Keelia: (Q still has foresight running from looking at the timeglass)
JamesDevil: have they moved?
Smon: Mal you can roll Arcana
Drak some of the noqual wall plates are real, not illusory
Smon: They raise their arms threateningly.
chris107: M doesn't have Arcana. Is that the one you need the skill to roll?
chris107: History?
Smon: no you can roll, but dc 20 mal
Keelia: Q calls out in Thes. "Peace. We are not enemies."
Smon: what language quillax?
chris107: 20 needed then
chris107 rolls 1d20 and gets: 2,
JamesDevil: Claw stares down one of the statues
Keelia: Thassilonian
Keelia: I can't type:)
joriandrake: some? so some metal plates are fake (not illusion) while others are real 'noqual'? What is noqual?
joriandrake: can I roll Arcana?
Keelia: Google noqual Jorian
Smon: Noqual is a skymetal, one of the 7 used to forge the Sihedron
joriandrake: I did, and found something, but the info is outdated and not applicable to 5e
joriandrake: seems like antimagical metal or such
joriandrake: In any case, Drakh doesn't know unless I can roll with success
Smon: The creatures move to attack... roll init
Keelia rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 12, (+3) = 15
Smon: /roll d20+3
Smon rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 18, (+3) = 21
joriandrake: no skill check then, ok
chris107 Rolls 1d20+2x2 and gets:
5 (+2) = 7
8 (+2) = 10
joriandrake rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 20, (+5) = 25
JamesDevil Rolls 1d20+2x2 and gets:
3 (+2) = 5
12 (+2) = 14
Smon: #25 Drak your turn
joriandrake: does Drakh know what the creature is?
Smon: no
Smon: anyone with Arcana 20+ knows that Noqual has anti-magic properties
joriandrake: I guess, no chance to hide somewhere?
Keelia: I have Arcana +15 on the sheet.
Smon: ok +15 = passive 25 so Q knows that
joriandrake: Drakh would know too then
Keelia: She calls out about the antimagic
Smon: The pedestals won't give cover so no cover for Drak
joriandrake: Drakh steps behind Claw and Quillax, raises his bow, readied action: shoot the creature when an ally attacks it in melee, end turn
Smon: ok #21 Crystallises - bonus action - they each breath out a choking orange gas that billows around you; everyone make a DC 17 CON save twice. Rem Mal's bonus
joriandrake: (+6?)
chris107 Rolls 1d20+15x2 and gets:
13 (+15) = 28
18 (+15) = 33
chris107: +6
chris107: yup
JamesDevil Rolls 1d20+14x6 and gets:
1 (+14) = 15
19 (+14) = 33
7 (+14) = 21
9 (+14) = 23
4 (+14) = 18
13 (+14) = 27
Keelia: Foresight gives me advantage on save
JamesDevil: woops
joriandrake Rolls 1d20+9x2 and gets:
14 (+9) = 23
20 (+9) = 29
joriandrake: success twice
JamesDevil: that would be a 15
Keelia Rolls 1d20+17x2 and gets:
1 (+17) = 18
7 (+17) = 24
Keelia Rolls 1d20+17x2 and gets:
10 (+17) = 27
9 (+17) = 26
Keelia: pass
JamesDevil: wait a tic, I have +14 then +6, so I auto pass ^^
joriandrake: heh, saved by paladin!
JamesDevil: stupid calculator on this sight..
Smon: Sorry, Claw fails a save (nat 1 fails) and is transformed into a petrified crystalline orange statue.
JamesDevil: ffs
chris107: eek
Smon: /roll d3
Smon rolls 1d3 and gets: 1
Smon: The crystallis then attack Mal (10' reach so no adjacent) with their adamantine talons.
chris107: AC20, no crits
Smon: /roll d20+12x4
Smon Rolls 1d20+12x4 and gets:
3 (+12) = 15

19 (+12) = 31
Smon: only 2 hits, lucky - 86 dmg.
chris107: ouch
Smon: #15 Quillax
chris107: 98/184
JamesDevil: I sure hope you can get me back to a fleshy state
chris107: me too James!
joriandrake: (me too, looking for options atm, In Chris' game DT had the same issue)
Keelia: Does she think the antimagic in the noqual will affect close range spells?
Smon: What do you mean by close range?
Keelia: If she goes up and touches Claw and casts a spell on him, will it work?
joriandrake: I think, she/we wonder how the antimagic works, we still have the spells we concentrated on when we arrived
Smon: >>If she goes up and touches Claw and casts a spell on him, will it work?<< She'll have to make a casting check (WIS+Prof).
Smon: Any spells you have running are still working J
Keelia rolls 1d20+13 and gets: 5, (+13) = 18
Smon: Keelia you need to declare the spell you are casting then roll
Keelia: Sorry, I thought this was just a check
joriandrake: I found the 5e data on petrification
joriandrake: Petrified is a condition, like sickened or poisoned. Many spells can remove harmful conditions — Greater Restoration lists petrification. It is currently the only one, short of Wish.
Keelia: She'll cast Greater Restoration on Claw.
Smon: OK roll caster check WIS+Prof vs DC 20
Keelia: (I didn't add any bonus from foresight, since this isn't an ability check, is that right?)
joriandrake: (good luck!)
Smon: hm, I'll allow Foresight bonus
Keelia rolls 1d20+13 and gets: 20, (+13) = 33
Keelia: Ah.
joriandrake: yay!
chris107: yay!
Smon: Works anyway, Claw feels very fleshy
Smon: Any other action Q?
JamesDevil: "much, thank you!"
Keelia: She then turns to the elementals and snarls "I said, Peace, dammit"
Keelia: Can she attempt to shift into their form as elemantals?
Keelia: They can't be that different from rock elementals
Smon: They don't seem to understand Quillax. She can't wildshape into an Elder Crystallis as it is well over her CR limit.
joriandrake: (oh well, would be fun as a future epic boon benefit though  )
Keelia: (boo) alright. She'll wildshape
Keelia: Earth elemental
chris107: Sihedron?
Keelia: She can pass that as her reaction to Mal
Smon: OK Quillax turns into earth elemental as bonus action
chris107: Thanks
Smon: & passes Sihedron to mal
Smon: #14 Claw, you got turned to stone & back before your turn came up
JamesDevil: "that was unpleasant!"
JamesDevil: Claw charges the nearest Enemy and bring down the Wrath

JamesDevil: I#]'m guessing tthe fire will get halved?

JamesDevil: Second Attack
joriandrake: reaction, Drakhaien's shoot is triggered after Claw's melee attack
Smon: Drak shoots, roll to hit J
joriandrake rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 11, (+11) = 22
Smon: They seem to take full fire dmg

joriandrake: yes
Smon: +4 DEX +1 bow +6 prof?

Smon: ok
joriandrake: let's return to Claw
JamesDevil: cool,m back to my second attack
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+19 and gets: 14, (+19) = 33

JamesDevil: Boo
JamesDevil: ah, k, cool ^^
Smon: It's taken 117 dmg, does not seem badly affected.
chris107: Mal chooses Temp for fast healing 20. Then attacks with the sun sword. (@ Simon, are they elementals? If so they get disadv on attacks agin me.) She then reaction passes the S back to Q. HP now128/184.
JamesDevil: end turn
Smon: BTW the petrification clouds just filled the Sihedron, if you were to split up/move round they'd get fewer of you if they breathe again
Smon: Yes they are elementals
chris107 Rolls 1d20+15x2 and gets:
13 (+15) = 28

joriandrake: that's a miss thankfully
Smon: miss, Drak backs away across room between 2 pedestals
joriandrake: end turn
Smon: You could just shoot the one Claw is attacking as he's adjacent?
joriandrake: true
joriandrake: will from new position a shot be considered a normal, or advantaged one?
Smon: normal
joriandrake rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 18, (+11) = 29

chris107: (Thanks Keelia, I believe that I can take the HP retrospectively?)
chris107: Last round
chris107: She healed and passed it to Q as the last action of the round.
Smon: Claw wacks the damaged Crystallis, 255 dmg so far, nearly gone
Smon: OK so Q transfers Sihedron to Mal on Crystallis' turn, healing Mal back to 20 hp.
chris107: phew!
Smon: sorry at start of Q's turn - since Q had already used her reaction
Smon: Reactions are complicated
joriandrake: one per round
Smon: #15 Quillax - regains reaction, transfers Sihedron to Mal healing her back to 20
Smon: What else do you do Q?
Keelia: She'll charge over and punch the one Claw has been fighting.
Keelia Rolls 1d20+8x2 and gets:
14 (+8) = 22

Keelia: (does foresignt work in my elemental form when i had it in human form?)
Smon: OK Q-lemental moves over and punches the Crystalls, but her blows are absorbed to no effect!
Smon: (You don't have Foresight as you don't have the Sihedron)
JamesDevil: O.o
Keelia: I do from the timeglass
Keelia: I used it last session and it lasts 8 hours.
Smon: ok, yes that'd work
Keelia: Or maybe 24 - the spell is 8.
Smon: Is Q using her bonus action?
Keelia: OK, then they have disadvantage on attack rolls against me.
joriandrake: yay
Keelia: She's first moving between Mal and the other elemental, then she'll use her bonus to change elemental forms
Keelia: to fire
Keelia: since Claw's fire seemed to work
Smon: It's Large so you'd be on top of Mal burning her?
Smon: brb
JamesDevil:
Keelia: ah, maybe then to the side of them.
Keelia: I don't want to set Mal on fire but I do want to be a distraction
JamesDevil: I'll protect you....oh...
chris107:
Smon: ok You can turn into a fire elemental & wave your arms distractingly
JamesDevil: lol
joriandrake: ("I don't want to set Mal on fire, I just want to start a flame in your heart ")

JamesDevil: "I got a little over exccited, after seeing it almost kill you" ?/?
JamesDevil: >.>
Keelia: Q drops her elemental form and goes over to help Mal
chris107: Swap the S around quite a bit.
Keelia: She passes it back and forth with mal for a bit
joriandrake: Will always pass it back to Mal
chris107: They were brutal
JamesDevil: "indeed, sneaky bastards turned me to crystal before I knew it!"
joriandrake: Drakhein tries to 'earn his pay' out of combat, investigating the metal plating and pedestals closer, to look for hidden traps, treasures, doors, point out which are real sky metal plates to gather up and such
Smon: GM: You can use the Sihedron to heal up.
Unlike for the other Skymetal Vaults, Xin actually had
a fair amount of noqual to work with after discovering a
large quantity of it elsewhere in northern Thassilon in
the form of an ancient meteorite. Not all of the plates on
the wall are actually noqual plates, but roughly a third
are indeed real, and placed about the room in a pattern
such that the metal’s antimagic qualities focus into the
chamber.
Treasure: In all, there are 100 pounds of raw noqual in
the form of the metal plates on the walls here, worth 5,000gp in total. The room also contains a suit of +1 noqual full plate, three masterwork noqual breastplates, and a dozen
masterwork noqual weapons of various designs—all of
which were eventually slated for being melted down and
reforged into a golem, had Xin ever managed to gather
enough noqual.
gp in total. The room also contains a suit of +1 noqual full
Smon: brb 5 mins
joriandrake: wow, we need to find more bags of holding soon
chris107: noqual full?
chris107: got it.
JamesDevil: ...yea, so the bag is total full with all the metals from before, i've had to carry all of the other magic weapons on my back...
Keelia: Q will carry anything that can help
joriandrake: hm.... We might have to do a return trip if something like teleportation is possible, to empty out what we got at home before continuing, not sure if anyone here can teleport as such though, maybe QUillax?
Keelia: I've got plane shift
Smon: (back)
JamesDevil: can we use that to skip back to town then return to this chamber?
JamesDevil: Claw needs to buy a pair of Loins anyway >.>
chris107: Mal can carry quite a bit.
joriandrake: hm, I think atwo uses of plane shift would work
chris107: All HP back at full, Simon?
joriandrake: one would to an other plane, you can define exact location, so two pin point casted spells could move us home
Smon: yes you pass round sihedron and heal to full.
Keelia: I've got that or wind walk
chris107: Mal looks relieved
Smon: mal roll history dc 15
chris107 rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 1, (+6) = 7
joriandrake: "You were pretty badly hurt there, you did well to stand up to those things, I wouldn't have lasted for half that time" Drakh praises Mal
joriandrake: and really distracts her
JamesDevil: smn how lkong did it take us to windwalk here?
Keelia: 7.5 hours
Smon: 100 miles, 3.3 hours I thought?
chris107: Do we want to risk not been able to return?
chris107: With just one room left to do?
Keelia: If we have just one more room, might as well give it a go
Smon: wind walk is 30mph right?
joriandrake: well, we can try another room ,have enough spells left for that, maybe we are lucky and find another bag of holding, if not, we can still go back with teleportation or windwalk
chris107: Mal really can carry quite a lot.
JamesDevil: ok, lets do it then, we'll sort out the loot after that, maybe put it in a pile
Keelia: 300feet speed
chris107: Exactly
Smon: According to the Sihedron you still have the Siccatite and Abysium vaults to go, though there seems nothing to stop you portaling in then straight on to next vault.
JamesDevil: ok, i've copied out the contents on the current room
joriandrake: might be better not to walk around with a load of antimagical metal anyway, at least for now
Keelia: Q offers her cloak as an extra bag - tie stuff up in it for easier carrying
chris107: Mal will offer her cloak too.
chris107: And haul what she can (Str 25)
JamesDevil: k, all of thr loot from the current room would need to go into those cloaks, at least noqual stuff
joriandrake: Drakh sadly can't offer help in carrying, he's pretty close to his limit already with equipment alone
chris107: Mal asks the chaps with arcane knowledge if they think spells could be cast by someone wearing anti magic armour?
joriandrake: aren't the plates o nthe wall, or the full plate, etc too big for cloak-bags?
joriandrake: Drakhaien could roll on it
JamesDevil: I can go far higher i'm just trying to consider how it would look caring a bunch more armour an ore on my person -.-
joriandrake: ATM I assume you could try, but likely have a chance to fail casting
joriandrake: Will roll Arcane if Simon says
JamesDevil: we have established that we can go back to the previous vaults right?]
chris107: "If we can't carry everything at the end we could use the Sihedron to polymorph one or two of us into beasts of burden."
chris107: I think so James.
chris107: pretty sure
Smon: You haven't tried, but it looks like touching previous prong + cantrip would send you back, next prong + cantrip forward.
joriandrake: I am sure the enemy we didn't defeat in previous room, guarding the hourglass I believe was able to move us between rooms, unsure if we can do it manually as we sih
joriandrake: ah, neat
JamesDevil: I can hold 900lb, thw bag is full of metals, all the magic equipment is on my person
Smon: Claw resembles the Iron Throne, covered in weapons
joriandrake: yay
chris107: hehe
joriandrake: Let's hope the close proximity won't force us to continue roll magic chance in other rooms too
JamesDevil: you know what, lets drop everything off here, we'll come back here for it after we've clear the remaining vaults
joriandrake: ok
Keelia: As long as you can move
chris107: ok
JamesDevil: done, Claw drop everything off except the liquid metal
JamesDevil: in a pile but the portal
joriandrake: Claw is like one of those people which can pull a train
Smon: OK you drop a mound of treasure here
JamesDevil: "next room all"
JamesDevil: we'll go swimming in it later
Smon: Then assemble on the floor Sihedron
joriandrake: "I could set up an ALarm in this room, if you wish" Drakh offers
JamesDevil: go for it
JamesDevil: b ut quickly
chris107: Mal is ready.
chris107: (did we get an answer on the antimagic armour and casting?)
joriandrake: (no) Drakh begins the ritual casting for Alarm
joriandrake rolls 1d20+9 and gets: 13, (+9) = 22
joriandrake: roleld for possible casting check if needed
joriandrake: rolled*
Smon: (Noqual can disrupt casting yes). Eventually Mal activates the Sihedron. Flash... Siccatite Vault: An orange glow filters through a thick, pervasive mist that
hangs heavy in this chamber. Without warning, the vapor
condenses and turns into a slippery, pale blue rime that coats
everything in the room for several seconds before again
vaporizing to mist. The silvery walls seem to throb with orange
or blue light each time the coloration changes. A black crystal
shelf to the west holds a stack of silvery bars.
joriandrake: Drakh makes it a metnal alarm, so he'll sense it evein in other rooms
Smon: The temperature shifting is very uncomfortable, take 5 fire & 5 cold damage.
joriandrake: Can Drakh roll on Siccatite? History or Arcana?
chris107: 174/184
chris107: grab the bars and on to the next room?
JamesDevil: Claw steps toward the bars....
JamesDevil: cautiously...
Smon: (just google Siccatite) As you go to grab the bars, out of the mist emerges an enormous 16' high golem in the form of Emperor Xin, its hands ending in Sihedrons! Its eyes glow green.
Smon: It speaks: "Traitors! Renegades!"
Smon: It raises its 'fists' - roll init again
JamesDevil: looking up "what did it say guys"
Keelia rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 8, (+6) = 14
Keelia: sorry that should have been 3
joriandrake: .... I ask it differently then: DOes Drakhaien know what siccatide is?
JamesDevil Rolls 1d20+2x2 and gets:
19 (+2) = 21
15 (+2) = 17
chris107 Rolls 1d20+2x2 and gets:
6 (+2) = 8
8 (+2) = 10
Keelia: so, 11 for init
joriandrake rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 4, (+5) = 9
Smon: (yes J we keep telling you to google the skymetals)
joriandrake: and 9
joriandrake: Sorry, I thought you just meant to tell me as player
Smon: /roll d20-1
Smon rolls 1d20-1 and gets: 14, (-1) = 13
Smon: #21 Claw - you take 5 heat/fire dmg as the room is boiling hot (halved by totem). Your go
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+19 and gets: 16, (+19) = 35
JamesDevil: before I roll, damage, will it resist the fire? or can i roll it all at once?
Smon: AC 20, hit
Smon: roll separately
JamesDevil: Slashing
JamesDevil rolls 3d6+17 and gets: 3, 3, 6, (+17) = 29
JamesDevil: Fire
JamesDevil rolls 5d6 and gets: 4, 6, 4, 5, 3, = 22
Smon: The golem takes 29 slashing & heals up 22 fire - net 7 dmg
JamesDevil: nnext attack
JamesDevil: Slashing
JamesDevil rolls 3d6+17 and gets: 4, 1, 5, (+17) = 27
Smon: you only rolled to hit once
JamesDevil: cock, it absorbs fire...
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+19 and gets: 18, (+19) = 37
JamesDevil: Fire
JamesDevil rolls 5d6 and gets: 3, 1, 3, 1, 6, = 14
JamesDevil: "err, fire back guys,! Fire bad!
JamesDevil: "
Smon: 27 slashing - 14 fire = 13 dmg
JamesDevil: Claw puts his sword away crusin g the fact that he left his spare weapons in the other room, end turn
Smon: Xin ignores Claw slashing at its legs and turns on the others. "To defeat the primary caster first, is elementary..." he strikes (15' reach) at Quillax.
JamesDevil: (i think this room was designed with Claw in mind!)
chris107: (  )
Keelia: Ah
Smon: /roll d20+15x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+15x2 and gets:
11 (+15) = 26
7 (+15) = 22
Keelia: AC 22
Keelia: but he has disadvantage!
Keelia: because of my foresight
Smon: ok one hit so far
Smon: /roll d20+15x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+15x2 and gets:
11 (+15) = 26
15 (+15) = 30
Keelia: Ah well. There went that hope
Smon: 2 hits, 90 slashing +15 fire + 15 cold = 120 dmg to Q
chris107: nice try
chris107: eek
joriandrake: shit
Keelia: I'm alive. Barely.
Smon: "I was mistaken to rely on spells in the dragon, my constructs are much more efficacious...."
Keelia: 16/146
JamesDevil: "retreat?"
Smon: #11 Quillax you take 5 fire dmg from the heat, your go
joriandrake: This golem is controlled by the Emperor again, I doN't think we can just flee...
joriandrake: (sorry, "" - that as IC reply to Claw)
Keelia: erm. one second... I need to rethink my strategy
Smon: "A classic error, one I do not intend to repeat."
Keelia: do you think he has good CHA?
chris107: He's not charming me right now.
joriandrake: I assume he has good mental attributes in spirit, using a very powerful golem body currently
chris107: Constructs on the whole don't though.
JamesDevil: I'm sure he's a jolly old giant underneath
Smon: "You will not prevent the final activation of the Reliquary. I SHALL bring a new golden age to the world!"
chris107: (And to be honest Mal likes what he's saying...)
Smon: /roll d20+12
Smon rolls 1d20+12 and gets: 19, (+12) = 31
Keelia: OK, hell with it. Let's try a Plane Shift on him.
Keelia: Too bad I couldn't guidance myself first.
chris107: I like your plan, Keelia!
Smon: "Malassandra you should abandon these tools of the traitorous Runelords and return to my service."
JamesDevil: gogo
joriandrake: damn, not willing I believe
Keelia: ok, I get advantage on attack roll, I assume that will also be spell attacks
Keelia: Spell save will be DC 21 for CHA
chris107: "Mighty Emperor! Thay seek only to vex the traitorous Runelords!"
Keelia: Let's see if I hit...
joriandrake: good luck!
chris107: good luck
Keelia Rolls 1d20+13x2 and gets:
8 (+13) = 21
5 (+13) = 18
Keelia: Fuck only a 21. I doubt that's enough
chris107: yay
chris107: ac20
joriandrake: (Do golems get magical resistance or such? I only remember the AD&D ones dimly)
chris107: If I remember Claws combat?
JamesDevil: eh? yea I have 20AC
chris107: (as did this golem when you hit it)
Smon: Quillax casts Plane Shift & touches the golem (AC 20). Nothing happens. Xin: "The Crystal Palace is shielded against planar transit. I'm surprised you did not realise that!"
JamesDevil: o cock, Mal has turn on us...
chris107: (She hasn't  )
joriandrake: (I don't think so)
chris107: (Oh James of little faith!  )
Keelia: Ok
Keelia: bonus action wildshape
Keelia: and reaction to swap S to J
joriandrake: which J?
Smon: Quillax sends Sihedron to who?
chris107: M?
chris107: she's up next
Smon: (BTW rem Sihedron fast healing if you start your turn w it)
Keelia: Sure M then
chris107: thanks
Smon: What form does Q assume?
chris107: (Jorian, do I remember you don't want it passing to you today?)
Keelia: EE
Smon: earth, ok
joriandrake: (could use the Sihedron in this turn, so I wouldn't mind it being passed to Drakh this once)
Smon: #10 Mal
chris107: Malassandra heals to 184/184. Chooses Humility.
joriandrake: (I needed the reactions for rogue stuff and readied action / Haste test before)
chris107: Attempts to persuade Xin to relent in his attacks.
chris107: "Oh mighty emperor we are not your enemies. Aid us in our battles for your greatness!"
Smon: Mal you take 5 fire dmg start of turn
chris107: 179/184
Smon: Bit late for persuasion... DC 28 roll pls Mal
chris107: persuade roll with humility bonus
chris107 rolls 1d20+16 and gets: 9, (+16) = 25
joriandrake: (damn!)
JamesDevil: awe
chris107: drat!
chris107: she steps back to be out of his 15' reach. End turn.
joriandrake: (so close, such good bonuses though... I think the Emperor now considers you a traitor)
Smon: OK he uses a reaction AoE on Mal as she retreats across the vault.
Smon: /roll d20+15
Smon rolls 1d20+15 and gets: 13, (+15) = 28
chris107: Pass S to Drak
Smon: hits Mal for 45 slash & 15 cold
chris107: AC2o unless he falls into one of the p/e catagories?
Smon: lemme see
chris107: 119/184HP
JamesDevil: crist we need to get back to the previous vault, we we're not prepared
Smon: ok he counts as undead so disad
Smon: /roll d20+15
Smon rolls 1d20+15 and gets: 16, (+15) = 31
Smon: still hits
chris107: hehe, no worries but good to know.
Keelia: undead?
JamesDevil: hehe
Smon: The ghost in the machine is undead
Smon: #9 is Drak?
chris107: (Turn the unholy coming up next time then  )
joriandrake: yes
Smon: 5 fire dmg drak
Smon: "Even if you were to defeat or bypass this Golem, be assured my servitors have gathered at the Schwerpunkt to ensure your defeat..."
joriandrake: soo.... Drakhaien moves around the golem into its back, hoping for a blind spot, he casts there Haste on Quillax, uses Zeal - sihedron, passes Sihedron to next PC which isn't Claw
Smon: "Use of the Vault Guardians is merely fortuitous, but it has given me a good idea of your capacities."
joriandrake: Thankfully the undead ruler is occupied with giving a villain speech
chris107: "You are not the kindly, wise Lord I served!"
joriandrake: (and this way might not have sensed Drakh casting)
joriandrake: and end turn
Smon: GM: OK the steaming mist gives Drak cover for a stealth hide check
joriandrake: yay
joriandrake: bonus action stealth then
joriandrake rolls 1d20+17 and gets: 18, (+17) = 35
chris107: nice
joriandrake: and then end turn
joriandrake: (Haste on QUillax: +2 AC, and plus a full action per turn)
Smon: Drak hides by a shelf of sicatite. R2 - the mist collapses into freezing rime. #21 Claw
JamesDevil: k, quick question, unarmed attack is str+prof right?
Smon: yes
Smon: dmg is 1+STR bonus + rage bonus
JamesDevil: k, and attack is roll is the same?
Smon: Although golems tend to be immune to non-magic attacks
JamesDevil: hmm
Smon: attack roll is str+prof
chris107: "I'll buy you time to fetch the earth breaker!"
JamesDevil: k, Claw just starts swearing at it standing withing 5' of it not wanting to burn his hands
Smon: Claw takes 5 cold dmg start of turn > 2
JamesDevil: I can't cast to go there and back
Smon: LOL
chris107: (Q could help you?)
Smon: "It was good of you to disarm yourself prior to your arrival."
chris107: (escaping her weakened state?)
Smon: #13 Xin, Who has the Sihedron?
chris107: Q
joriandrake: The next player character, which wasn't Claw
chris107: at 14?
chris107: #14
Smon: #14? I have #21 Claw #13 Xin #11 Quillax #10 Mal #9 Drak. Xin continues attacks on Quillax.
joriandrake: (Q could do what Chris suggested, she almost has 2 full turns worth of actions now, could use one for some cantrip required to tranport Claw away)
Keelia: I wasn't 10.
chris107: Must be my scribbled writing, soz.
Keelia: was i?
chris107: I scribbled it down as 14 for some reason.
Smon: #11 is Quillax
Keelia: 11
Keelia: yes
Smon: #13 Xin attacks Quillax again
chris107: soz again, the S is still with her
Smon: /roll d20+15x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+15x2 and gets:
12 (+15) = 27
17 (+15) = 32
Keelia: disadvantage, not that it matters with these rolls
Smon: /roll d20+15x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+15x2 and gets:
5 (+15) = 20
9 (+15) = 24
Keelia: AC 19 in this form with the haste bonus
chris107: eek
Smon: ok 2 hits, 120 dmg to earth elemental puts it at 6 hp
joriandrake: (Sihedron charity would give +2 ac more)
Keelia: Cool
Smon: #11 Quillax takes 5 cold dmg, form on 1 hp
Keelia: Well, she's still up
chris107:
Keelia: OK, let's do a Sunbeam as action 1
Smon: GM: You can tell Xin's ghost doesn't want to actually acknowledge you have the Sihedron, but that doesn't stop him hitting you
Keelia: Pass the Sid. as a reaction to Drak
chris107: To M!
chris107: I'm next
Keelia: Sorry, to M
chris107: thanks
Keelia: has to make a CON save against 21
Smon: OK he has disad on Con save vs sunbeam as a ghost
10:12am  2019-10-05 chris107 Has exited the room
Keelia: Fingers crossed....
Smon: /roll d20+5x2
10:13am  2019-10-05 chris107 Has entered the room
Smon Rolls 1d20+5x2 and gets:
13 (+5) = 18
4 (+5) = 9
Keelia: Yes!!!
chris107: yay
Keelia: Alright, /roll 6d8
JamesDevil: WAHOO
Keelia rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,
Smon: so he's blinded & 6d8 radiant
Keelia: I cannot type!!
joriandrake: yay! (Quillax still got the Haste 2nd action)
Keelia rolls 6d8 and gets: 6, 3, 3, 7, 5, 5, = 29
JamesDevil: lol
Smon: Xin: "Aagh! Perfidy! Fecklessness!"
chris107: nicely done!
JamesDevil: lol
Keelia: Second action, another line
Keelia: I assume blinded means it hits?
Smon: Haste action is very limited
Smon: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Haste#content
Keelia: Can it only be an action / action?
Smon: nd it gains an additional action on each of its turns. That action can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action.
joriandrake: ah damn, ok
Keelia: That's fine - Q will drop elemental form, and stab him with new ghost scimitar
Keelia: Then bonus action back into EE form after
joriandrake: yay
JamesDevil: hehe
JamesDevil: stab staby
chris107: yay
joriandrake: and it is an undead golem! yay!
Keelia rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 3, (+11) = 14
Keelia rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 14, (+11) = 25
Keelia: thank goodness for foresight
joriandrake: yay x2
chris107: unlucky
chris107: oh yes!
Keelia: now, it's weak but...
Keelia rolls 1d6+6 and gets: 2, (+6) = 8
joriandrake: it is blinded anyway, thanks K, that will help a lot
Smon: The scimitar does 8 dmg - the golem is not incorporeal
Keelia: Ah well, can't have it all
Keelia: Back into new EE form since the old one is crumbling
Keelia: And use a bit of movement to shift to the side out of the others' way
Smon: GM OOC: I'm going to rule that with him blinded you would have time to retreat to the floor Sihedron & teleport on to new room if you wish, saving a couple hours fight time?
Keelia: Do you guys want to retreat?
joriandrake: (or just kill it now?)
JamesDevil: I'd like that
JamesDevil: we'll be better prepared
Smon: Since he still has over 400 hp & Garvok is ineffective...
JamesDevil: we'll not going to kill it now
Smon: On to the final vault?
chris107: I was going to try Turn the Unholy to give us 1 minute grace. That way Q and Claw could return with weapons?
joriandrake: For oncer I wouldn't mind it being killed right now, even if due to ghost Xin posession it doesn't count incorproeal, we have good chances while it is blind, not sure how long that lasts though
Smon: ok #10 Mal take 5 cold dmg
chris107: Claw on full HP with earthbreaker
Keelia: (blinded until my next turn, then I can try again)
chris107: That and the S make a net +15 =134/184
chris107: Do you guys want to flee or try my plan?
JamesDevil: i'd prefer going back the, healing then ignoring this vault and move staright on
chris107: Chooses Zeal
Smon: GM: Oh it has magic resistance save advtg so save vs sunbeam was an 18 - cancelled out, still fail
chris107: I'll go with the majority vote.
joriandrake: ah, golem body effect I assume
Smon: yes
joriandrake: same, fine either way then
Keelia: It basically seems we have 1 for leaving, 1 for fighting and two indecisive.
JamesDevil: seriously we need to heal, both from the guy and so we are ready for whatever is on the floor beyond
chris107: yup, I think if I can turn it and you can get back with the earthbreaker we have a good chance.
Keelia: Jorian was that a do whatever majority says?
joriandrake: Drakh will from hiding/blind spot snipe with chill touch at the thing at least once even if we leave
joriandrake: yes K
chris107: We have to be in the Sihedron to leave
JamesDevil: its also getting towards lunch
Keelia: OK, so are we saying move to next room?
joriandrake: I worry that everytime the room damages us, or atl east once per round the golem also gets regenerated a bit by both fire & ice damage
chris107: I'm for staying
chris107: quick vote
joriandrake: James has a point, we are close to session end
JamesDevil: I vote going back and ending the session there
joriandrake: fine, let's leave then, have us restart the battle better prepared next session
chris107: is that a leave vote then?
JamesDevil: we can decide next session what to do
Smon: next vault or previous?
joriandrake: at least now that it is blind it shouldn't know where we go
Keelia: Seems to be. I have 16hp as human. It wouldn't hurt to have a bit of a heal up.
joriandrake: previous, no enemies
JamesDevil: yep
chris107: Cool. previous it is then.
joriandrake: so I changed vote from abstain to leave
Keelia: I think i've got about a 70% chance of being able to keep him blinded, so we can heal up and try again?
chris107: Mal follows our timid Barbarian
Smon: GM ok while the golem flails around you retreat to the Sihedron and teleport back to the previous vault. I'll end session there while you heal up and collect gear.
joriandrake: ... this sentence feels so damn weird considering I always read the Brexit news
Keelia: or just skip thorugh onto the next one the next time
Keelia: Awesome
JamesDevil: cool
joriandrake: thanks everyone
Smon: @Jorian I see Boris wants Orban to veto extension!
chris107: Thanks for the game Simon. Chers guys
Keelia: Good game, guys. Fairly good flow this time!
chris107: Yes!
joriandrake: yeas, I heard the rumors but is untrue
JamesDevil: oNot timid
Smon: Thanks all, game next week 08.30
JamesDevil: Thanks for the games guys
joriandrake: Orbán might be a lot of things but not stupid
joriandrake: bye everyone
JamesDevil: and to smn for running it
Keelia: Sounds great, see you then!
Keelia: Thanks Simon
chris107: I'm away on holiday on the 19th by the way.
