Strange Aeons: Lovecraftian Affair [DMOOCH]

[lostsole31]

R7T17: Flair's body and soul felt like they were on fire. For a second or two, he did nothing but stand there and twitch; but Nadya's words snapped him back to attention. He felt... different. He couldn't put his finger on what had changed in the last 10 seconds, but a change had occurred. He was still Flair; the core of the man he was had not changed, but there was definitely an addition. But now was not the time to explore that; there was still danger afoot. Once they were all safe and had dealt with this Zandalous fellow, then a period of self-reflection to determined how things had changed. For now, he had a fight to win. Turns out that having a strange being insert itself into your mind is mighty distracting, so he had dropped the totem. Spending the effort to reapply it, he then threw a tether at the woman in the mists, trying to keep her contained, but his muscles twitch and spasm as he does so and he misses wildly.

R7T16: Brother Jaume moves to the sounds and flash of lightning, looking for a cultist to whallop, finding he has to go around Flair before he sees what appears to be a cultist woman hiding in the fog. The woman dodges the quarterstaff.

R7T15: Corbin, you are surrounded by three fallen oneirogens, and nothing else. Battle sounds to the WSW of you. What do you do?

Corbin only stalks 5' SW before getting to a line of allies fighting something on the other side of them (so Corbin can't see what/ who).

R7T6: The woman in the fog commits to the attack to strike the one that hurt her (barely), diving low with a glowing right hand that is foiled by the mist.

Spoiler: Flair

Show

Nadya is lucky, because this woman could have shattered Nadya's knee. It seems she is a practitioner of an extremely rare offshoot of martial arts known as the Sleeping Goddess Discipline.

Spoiler: The Sleeping Goddess Discipline

Show

Though some put their trust in a well-crafted sword or a solid shield, the greatest warriors know that a tempered mind and devotion to one’s ideals are the sharpest weapon and the toughest armor. A Sleeping Goddess adept strikes his deathblow not at the heart of his foe, but at the ideals and principles the foe devotes himself to, undermining his conceptual basis of reality. Through their mastery of psionics and overpowering force of belief, disciples of this discipline assert their presence on the world, transcending the shackles of reality and making their surroundings their own. A master of the discipline becomes unto a god; he rends minds asunder as easily as bodies and shakes the foundations of others’ beliefs merely by sharing his own. Sleeping Goddess’ associated skill is Autohypnosis, and its associated weapon groups are flails, heavy blades, monk, and spears. In addition, any weapon created by the form mind blade class feature or equivalent ability (such as a deadly fist’s empowered strikes, a psychic armory’s panoply of blades, or a soulbolt’s mind bolt) or by a Sleeping Goddess maneuver is treated as a discipline weapon.

Maneuvers from the Sleeping Goddess discipline actively draw on the initiator’s psionics talents.

In fact, you are knowledgeable enough to realize that the maneuver this woman attempted was the Harmony Shattering Strike, wherein the the practitioner sets up dangerous resonances between themselves and their victim, so that every time the practitioner is struck in the next few seconds, the victim of the Harmony Shattering Strike is harmed a little as well.

Lastly, this woman went from crouching in stealth to a special stance from a different discipline.

Pissed at her miss, the woman steps back.

End Round 7, Begin Round 8 ...

R8T28: Nadya steps out of view after looking hard at the woman.

R8T21: Maeni, you still can't see the combat proper (or the combatant). You would have to go more northwest to have a chance to see. What do you do?

R8T21: Maeni, frustrated with the foggy feud, moves past Brother Jaume, steps across a mattress past Flair, and approaches the cultist from the south. Here she finds that the mist no longer conceals and she sees the aggressor. She manifests her claws briefly and slashes at the woman, but her hand is easily deflected.

"I know the creatures of the Darklands, and engineering, and those are my scholarly foci. But I do know that this woman isn't quite ... human."

"Okay. Flair, can you get in close enough to take a look at what the woman is? Meanwhile, Maeni? Yeah, great idea, but I would really like to be normal size now."

He then does commit to something he can do, and with his warhammer cushes the skull of O1 .... right at Corbin's feet!

R8T17: Flair maintains his totem. He's still recovering and figures that he was better suited to guide and augment rather than attack blindly.

"Corbin, Brother Jaume, Dorn, the assailant has withdrawn to the Northwest of me. Be advised that she is a practitioner of the Sleeping Goddess discipline, which lets her augment her maneuvers with psionic power."

R8T16: Brother Jaume, what do you do? The woman stepped northwest of you, out ofthe mist (if you take a 5-foot step NW, you would have the ability to enlarge if that is what you wanted to do).

R8T16: “Ah! There you are. Where are you sneaking off to?” Brother Jaume says, spotting the cultist sneaking in the dissipating fog. He takes a diagonal step forward and to the left and unleashes a flurry of kicks and strikes. His first strike hits her armor that she wears under the voluminous yellow robes; the next two attacks are deflected, and the last attack also hits against what seems to be a breastplate.

R8T15: Corbin, your crossbow is currently unloaded. What do you do?

R8T15: "Does she seem familiar to anyone else, or just me?" Corbin says in a hushed tone as he reloads and fires his crossbow at the woman's chest, but it bounces off of her breastplate. Corbin figures if it wasn't for his friends in the way, he would've hit.

R8T14: Nodding in agreement with Corbin's comment on their attacker's familiarity, Jens steps slightly closer and tries to squeeze a shot through the press of bodies to hit the new foe. A rock pulverizes the wall behind her, but the shot is fouled by a combination of friends and pillar.

R8T6: The woman does a palm strike to Maeni's face, hitting her for 19 before stepping north into the corner. The strike is hard enough to totally drop Maeni's vigor and practically break her nose.

End Round 8, Begin Round 9 ...

R9T28: Nadya takes a lungful of air and then breathes out a weak line of lightning, doing only 1 electricity to the dodging woman. Nadya then steps away from the woman.

R9T17: Now that the mists had cleared slightly, Flair could take a better look at her; the Sleeping Goddess move he saw earlier was only the tip of her psionic power as she had the telltale signs of a Soulknife. Regardless, she had to be extracted from her current position if they were to take her down, so after moving for a better shot, he attempted to hit her with a tether and draw her closer. He steps on a rock under the pallet, though, causing himself 5 damage. It only seems like it hurts, but it is soaked up by Jens' previous protections .... and the shot goes wide.

R9T6: The woman, who has features that are not entirely human, but you can't put your finger on what is off (unless you prompt for a Knowledge check) looks at the cleric that just tried to do .... something .... to her mind. She sends out two quick jabs at Brother Jaume at incredible speed. It is also noticed by those that can see her that there is a strange optical effect to her movements, as if you see several of her as she moves. Her first side kick hits Brother Jaume in the stomach for 10, followed by another side kick to his right forearm for 11. This double-strike is enough to blow through Jens' remaining vigor on the cleric.

End Round 9, Begin Round 10 ...

R10T28: Nadya becomes airborne and then floats out over the crevassed floor, sending an angry glare the woman's way. The enemy woman is entirely unimpressed and unmoved.

R10T21: Maeni, what do you do?

R10T21: Staying away and trying to keep everyone alive, Maeni starts with herself, knowing any excess won't be lost. She casts CLW on herself for 10 - enough to fully heal herself and have Jens divert the excess 1 to Brother Jaume.

R10T19: Dorn channels Torag's favor through him and attacks with an onslaught; the first attack misses, and the second attack fails against her armor. "Brother Jaume, I am fighting nearly at my best and I cannot penetrate her armor. I say we back away and force her to face more of us. I will not back away until you do."

R10T17: Flair, do you seek to divine anything else about the woman, for the sake of letting your friends know (even if you, the player, know)? Meanwhile, it feels as if there is an untapped well of knowledge that is opening up to you. What do you do?

R10T17: Flair ignored the pain in his foot; there's be time to heal it when they dropped the final fighter here. He tried to the tether again. Hopefully with nothing new to step on, a repeat can be avoided. Unfortunately, while Flair definitely would normally have finally succeeded, the combination of shooting into combat and dealing with several bodies in the way still fouls his shot.

R10T16: Brother Jaume grunts as the cultists attacks hit home. “This one packs a wallop! Guard yourselves for true.” His quarterstaff licks out quickly followed by a powerful straight kick to her midsection, both attacks failing.

R10T15: Corbin darts out of the shadows to try to catch the cultist unaware, letting a new bolt fly. The woman is fiendishly wary, and does not appear surprised, but that still doesn't stop what amounts to a perfectly placed shot by the bolt ace as the quarrel hits her in the left knee for 11! Still, Corbin can't help but notice that not only did the woman sense him, but only the impact from the bolt hurt her .... there doesn't seem to be any sign of the acid eating at her at all.

R10T14: Jens, after moving a few feet, sees the woman is getting progressively more and more wounded. He tries to add her to the collective to either apply emergency healing if they attempt to take her to Winter alive, or to collect the power released from her death should the party be overzealous in their subdual and he is met with success!

The shield of faith Dorn had placed on Nadya ends. Likewise, not that it was helping, but one of Dorn's self-buffs ends as well.

R10T6: With her suffering the wounds she is, the smart play would have been to focus on Dorn, who is now alone with her. Instead, the woman steps down to be adjacent with Brother Jaume, Maeni, and Corbin! She is in her martial stance, but doesn't attack. But she looks ready to throw down with any who might attack her, though.

End Round 10, Begin Round 11 ...

R11T28: Nadya appears around the corner, still 5' in the air, and breathes downwards, but the woman is unharmed by the electricity breath. The cultist had tried to attack her at the same time but missed badly, and the lightning did make a thundering sound that seems to have some (as yet undefined) effect on the cultist.

R11T21: Having no place to retreat to, and not feeling confident enough to go on the offensive, Maeni takes a defensive stance.

R11T19: Dorn, realizing how defensively capable this woman seems to be, instead nods now to Brother Jaume and depends on superior positioning to bring this dangerous foe down. Tactics, a mainstay of Toragdans like himself, was the right call, as his warhammer launches at her lower leg at the same time she kicks him in his own shin with the same leg. She scores 6 mod on him, while he scores 13 on her.

"True that I'm not protected by that spell you put on others, Jens, but send this Nadya's way, and I'll take the leftover."

He puts his hand on his chest, saying a silent prayer to Torag, and the healing that goes from his hand is instead sent to give Nadya 2 healing. Nadya is nearly fully healed.

R11T17: Flair, twice now you've seen this woman strike against those that attacked her, but you don't know what it is or how she's doing it. If she readied a strike against Nadya, that would be one thing; but she did it a split-second later against Dorn. Meanwhile, while you assess that you are not the person to stand toe-to-toe against this woman, your eyes do detect subtle patterns in the strange multi-visual aspect of her movements that might be able to foil some part of her defense. What do you do?

R11T17: Flair threw up his hands in frustration. It was clear that he wasn't doing anything offensively to help the situation. Other than his totem letting them hit harder, nothing was doing seemed to help. Clearly , whatever Cody had done to him had left him is less than fighting shape. Rather than risk harming one of his allies, he decided to let them finish the task at hand. He sat down and pulled the rock out from his boot. Trying both in tepe and out loud, he asks "Are you still in there?"

R11T16: Brother Jaume takes a step back and his flesh ripples and flows as his form grows large. He swings his now engorged, turgid quarterstaff at the nimble cultist, but his staff is deflected both times.

R12T19: Dorn steps over and brings his hammer down on the femal oneirogen's head.

R12T17: Flair frowns slightly as he gets to his feet. Either Cody won't or can't respond, but that'd be a problem for another time. Looking over the rest of the party, he asks "Okay, Good work, folks. How are you guys feeling? Do we feel that we have enough left to take on Zandalus, or do we fall back to recuperate? I fear that the latter will give him time to bolster his defenses, but it's probably wiser to do that rather than go half-cocked and get one or more of us killed."

Dorn looks over to Flair to give his answer, "I say we continue. The sounds of our battle surely got downstairs. The Apostles in Orpiment will likely swarm us if we go down there. If we have proof of Zandalus' end, however, we may break their collective will and they will not attack. And with Zandalus' death, there may be other benefits that we don't realize, if he is the one that made this nightmare."

R12T16: “Secure the cultist and destroy the oneirogen. I can then provide healing to all. I will be mostly out of spells after that, including healing. However, now is the time to strike at the heart of this nightmare. We should press on!”

Brother Jaume moves to a oneirogen and smacks it in the head for 12, likely killing it.

R13T19: With enough agreeing to push on, Dorn doesn't even wait for special positioning, but just tears off to the west in a double move that is impressive for everyone there, given his age and the fact that his expeditious retreat had worn off.

R13T17: Flair, you are currently sitting prone, concentrating on war totem. If you simply stand and keep the totem up, that will be your turn (there is enough rubble in the square to your immediate west to deny a 5-foot free move, i.e. difficult terrain). What do you do?

R14T17: Flair ceases concentration on the war totem and rushes down the hall towards the others.

Everyone: Comprising multiple toppled cells, the chamber before you looks as though it could collapse at any moment. Thousands of parchment scraps cover the walls, as if in a pitiful attempt to plaster the countless cracks. The flickering of dozens of candles illuminates the artwork’s subject matter: innumerable forlorn, surreal landscapes stretching into bleak infinities. The multitude of visions transforms the room into a threshold of nightmares.

A gaunt man with a ponytail of long and exceptionally straight white hair sits cross-legged upon the pallent like a Keleshyte mystic. He wears multiple patients' gowns that have been shredded and stitched to create a layered robe. His arms and much of his chest are exposed, revealing lines of charcoal and yellow chalk that streak his flesh, the most prominent of which appears to be a yellow flame on his forehead.

R14T16: Brother Jaume makes sure to catch as many of his people as he can in a blast of healing energy, focusing on any that are visibly injured for 6 healing - enough to completely heal Corbin, Flair, and Nadya. And though Brother Jaume isn't in the collective, those receiving his healing is, so excess healing is given through to just barely fully heal Dorn as well (out of range of the healing blast).

“Zandalus! This madness ends now!” he says as he moves next to Dorn.

R14T15.5: Upon spotting the PCs, Zandalus' eyes go wide and his mouth falls open. A voice like a tempest wind hissing over broken glass sheers from his split, motionless lips -- as though something other than Zandalus himself speaks from his body. "You're supposed to be dead. I already killed you. Why aren't you dead?!" With that, Zandalus yanks upward, as if a puppet on invisible strings. It is startling enough that Dorn and Brother Jaume do not get AOOs. He unhasps and readies a masterwork light mace.

R14T14: This is going to be a bad idea. It will only cause me to feel guilt if it is true as I doubt any of us have a way to help, Jens thinks to himself as he hears and sees Zandalus' state, but I have to know. Jens manifests a power, but no outward sign but the slightest narrowing of his eyes is visible and the power is swiftly brought to bear on Zandalus. Sure enough, Jens psychically sensitive eyes detect an amber aura. Jens then adds Zandalus to the collective. Jens then feels the faint energy that bulwarks his body against harm dissipate (vigor has expired).
