Group B chapter 3 Stone Cast Shadows continued from OGMW

[LDDragon]

Joseph summons forth a ball of fire underneath the undead craftsman. The young man almost manages to avoid it, but is not quite fast enough, and is burned.

 

Armenga pops her head up over the lip of the tub and sees the Jinkins on the other side of the bed. Deciding to keep up this skirmish, she strains to make some rocks fall from the ceiling onto their heads with her nascent magical powers. Then she ducks her head back down.

 

The first Jinkin manages to avoid some of the falling rocks, while the second dodges out of the way entirely.

 

Zyrel studies the presumed Stone Ghost briefly, but can't seem to recall anything useful about the creature. With very limited places to take cover within the room,, he simply stands his ground and fires on the Ghost, hoping Joseph's magics will compensate for losing the element of surprise. The first shot hits, striking the stone ghost in the arm, though the second shot goes wide.

 

"Auriflamma, that one is your target." Firea tells her flaming giant fox companion as she pointed to the spirit.

"As you command Mistress Firea." Auriflamma states as he begins to move towards the Stone Ghost.

Firea began to move as well stopping next to Zyrel she casts a spell filled with Electricity at the Jinkins, striking both. "I'm sorry but I must 'charge' you for your actions."

Auriflamma groans as he moves past her.

The electric arc hits both Jinkins, causing them to twitch and their muscles to spasm momentarily.

 

Clankerton studied the clever secret door admiringly as his companions moved into position.

"Oh!Fightson!" he blurted as he realised they had found their quarry.

The dwarf charged into the room and closed the distance with the enemy to keep them occupied whilst his classmates did what they did best.

 

Stone ghost attempts to extend his intangibility to Clankerton, shoving down on his shoulder to force him through the floor and into the earth. The dwarf is planted waist deep into the ground, immobilized and flat footed. The man then swings at Clankerton with his morningstar.

 

The first Jinkin moves closer and attempts to stab Clankerton with his shortsword twice, as the second Jinkin attempts to stab the dwarf three times.

 

 

Combat

 

Clankerton immobilized and flatfooted, 11 bludgeoning damage from morningstar. Also check the dice rolls of the Jinkins, not sure what does or does not hit.

 

 

CREATURES HAVE GONE. EVERYONE MAY ACT IN ANY ORDER!

 

Critical Success You remember the creature's weaknesses, and as you empower your esoterica, you have a flash of insight that grants even more knowledge about the creature. You learn all of the creature's resistances, weaknesses, and immunities, including the amounts of the resistances and weaknesses and any unusual weaknesses or vulnerabilities, such as what spells will pass through a golem's antimagic. You can exploit either the creature's mortal weakness or personal antithesis (see below). Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren't already.

Jinkins are weak to cold iron, though personal antithesis may do more damage.

 

11 Stone ghost. AC 20. Max HP 40. AC 21 temporarily due to shield spell.

Total 17 damage. Resistance 5, and double resistance vs non magical, stone, or effects with the earth trait. 2 from Zyrel shooting. 12 from Joseph flaming sphere. 3 from Zyrel shooting.

EDIT ABP at 2nd level means +1 strikes, which I will interpret as magical. Thus the creature takes 2 damage instead of zero.

 

11 Jinkin 1. AC 17. Max HP 19.

Total damage 10. Made up of 6 from Armenga scatter scree. 4 from Firea electric arc.

11 Jinkin 2. AC 17. Max HP 19.

Total damage 11. Made up of 11 from Firea electric arc.

Interaction Abilities 

Tinkercurse, primal, transmutation A group of six jinkins can work together for an hour to imbue an item with a curse at a range of 60 feet. While this process is lengthy, it’s also unobtrusive and can be performed while Hiding. Jinkins prefer to use this ability on magic items. The curse makes the item unreliable (DC 5 flat check or waste any action to Interact with or Activate the item), adds a bizarre requirement to use the item, or imparts some other curse of a similar caliber.

C14. Gruesome Trophies
Three masks and three cloaks are affixed to the south wall of this claustrophobic cave, as though in mockery of people, with arms extended to the sides. All look colorful, but dirty and bloodstained. One of the masks depicts a stern antelope, another a kindly hare, and the last a smiling warthog.

One of the outfits—the hare mask and a bloodstained cloak in yellow and white has been affixed to a secret door, which is slightly askew on its hinges, leading southwards. DC 13 Perception check to notice it.

Anyone looking over the cloaks can attempt a DC 15 Nature or Survival check. On a success, dirt and dust on the lower half of the cloaks indicates that each wearer was somehow pulled partially into the ground before being killed.

C15

This well-appointed bedroom and study almost makes one forget that it’s hidden deep underground. The space is neatly furnished with mismatched items, including a bearskin rug and extraordinarily comfortable-looking chair. A heavy professor’s desk sits off to one side, along with a massive, gently scuffed four-poster bed. Rugs and curtains hang in an inadequate attempt to make the space seem less like a cave, but craggy wall peeks through the gaps.

You are treated as being in both spaces until the start of your next turn. Your mirror self mimics your actions exactly, but any effects you generate come from only one of your positions; you decide which each time you act. Anything that targets or would affect your reflection affects you and uses your statistics. Something that would target or affect both of you affects you only once. When you move, you choose which square to move from, but the mirror effect ends (see below). Some events force you to determine which image is the real you, and then end the effect and cause your mirror self to disappear; this happens automatically at the start of your next turn. It also happens if you choose to move out of your space. Other benefits of this implement add more events that can end the reflection. The effect also ends when you fall unconscious, at which point you decide which version is truly you. -Exploit VulnerabilitySelect a creature you can see and attempt an Esoteric Lore check against a standard DC for its level, as you retrieve the right object from your esoterica and use your implement to empower it. You gain the following effects until you Exploit Vulnerabilities again. Critical Success You remember the creature’s weaknesses, and as you empower your esoterica, you have a flash of insight that grants even more knowledge about the creature. You learn all of the creature’s resistances, weaknesses, and immunities, including the amounts of the resistances and weaknesses and any unusual weaknesses or vulnerabilities, such as what spells will pass through a golem’s antimagic. You can exploit either the creature’s mortal weakness or personal antithesis (see below). Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Success You recall an important fact about the creature, learning its highest weakness (or one of its highest weaknesses, if it has multiple with the same value) but not its other weaknesses, resistances, or immunities. You can exploit either the creature’s mortal weakness or personal antithesis. Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Failure Failing to recall a salient weakness about the creature, you instead attempt to exploit a more personal vulnerability. You can exploit only the creature’s personal antithesis. Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Critical Failure You couldn’t remember the right object to use and become distracted while you rummage through your esoterica. You become flat-footed until the beginning of your next turn. Mortal Weakness: Your unarmed and weapon Strikes activate the highest weakness you discovered with Exploit Vulnerability, even though the damage type your weapon deals doesn’t change. This damage affects the target of your Exploit Vulnerability, as well as any other creatures of the exact same type, but not other creatures with the same weakness. Personal Antithesis: -Only the target creature gains a weakness against your unarmed and weapon Strikes equal to 2 + half your level. -Implement's EmpowermentWhen you Strike, you can trace mystic patterns with an implement you’re holding to empower the Strike, causing it to deal 2 additional damage per weapon damage die. -Dubious KnowledgeWhen you fail (but don’t critically fail) a Recall Knowledge check using any skill, you learn a bit of true knowledge and a bit of erroneous knowledge, but you don’t have any way to differentiate which is which. -Diverse Lore-You can take a -2 penalty to your check to Recall Knowledge with Esoteric Lore to Recall Knowledge about any topic -When you succeed at your check to Exploit a Vulnerability, compare the result of your Esoteric Lore check to the DC to Recall Knowledge for that creature; if that number would be a success or a critical success, you gain information as if you had succeeded at the Recall Knowledge check. -Intimidating GlareYou can Demoralize with a mere glare. When you do, Demoralize loses the auditory trait and gains the visual trait, and you don’t take a penalty if the creature doesn’t understand your language. -Scroll ThaumYou can activate scrolls of any magical tradition, using your thaumaturge class DC for the scroll’s DC, rather than a particular spell DC. If a spell is on the spell list for multiple traditions, you choose which tradition to use at the time you activate the scroll. You can draw and activate scrolls with the same hand holding an implement, much like you can for esoterica. -Steeped in HistoryYou gain a +1 circumstance bonus to Recall Knowledge about the Magaambya, the tenets or history of your branch, and members of your branch. At 11th level, this increases to a +2 circumstance bonus. -Talisman EsotericaEach day during your daily preparations, you can make two talismans with an item level no higher than half your level. You know the formulas for all common talismans in the Core Rulebook of your level or lower. You remember your talisman formulas through oral tradition or mnemonics, so you don’t need a formula book for them. -ToughnessIncrease your maximum Hit Points by your level. The DC of recovery checks is equal to 9 + your dying condition value.

Armenga sees Clank's in trouble, so she pops out of her hiding place and runs toward the battle. She leaps onto the bed, the flashes her mirror to make a reflection of herself appear right behind the Jinkins. The reflection swings a pick and smashes one of the Jinkins to the ground.

When you Sustain this spell, you can levitate the flame up to 10 feet. It then deals damage to each creature whose space it shared at any point during its flight. This uses the same damage and save, and you roll the damage once each time you Sustain. A given creature can take damage from floating flame only once per round. and move it 10' East.

Armenga sees Clank's in trouble, so she pops out of her hiding place and runs toward the battle. She leaps onto the bed, the flashes her mirror to make a reflection of herself appear right behind the Jinkins. The reflection swings a pick and smashes the first Jinkin to the ground.

 

Joseph sustains the floating sphere of flaming, calling it towards himself and burning all three of the enemies. He thrusts his cane forward, causing magical grease to form under the feet of the three hostiles.

 

The second Jinkin is engulfed flames, and falls to the ground, blackened and crisped, smoke rising from it. Stone ghost manages to avoid the worst of the effects, and his rocky hide protects him from the worst of the damage. Grease forms under it, the two Jinkins bodies, and to the left of Clankerton, but the rocky creature manages to plant himself in the earth and keep his footing.

 

Firea noting that her spell worked perfectly against the pair of small creatures, but also that they have fallen from the efforts of her teamates, switches her target to Stone ghost. Lightning arcs out at him, he manages to evade the worst of it, and his innate defences ensure that the damage he would have taken is also negated.

Auriflamma on the other hand continued to charge forward, launching a bolt made of magic fire at the Stone Ghost. The bolt misses, as he dodges out of the way.

Zyrell fires twice again, but with no cover can't place his shots to deadly effect, and so he abandons his bow for the rapier.

 

Stone ghost hits Clankerton with his morningstar again, a heavy hit to the shoulder, but then misses the next two swings.

 

 

 

 

 

Combat

Firea might have to move closer to have the lightning arc in range, if so, feel free to move to where you think she would. Will prioritize this over Auriflamma attacking, as Auriflamma would have missed in any case, and circumstances changed as the two Jinkins fell. Accidently put vs Auriflamma lightning arc, should have been vs Firea lightning arc.

 

Actually nevermind, he took no damage in any case, as he passed and then reduces damage by 5. Will leave it up to you whether you want Firea to have moved forward or to have stayed where the token is currently.

 

One hit on Clankerton dealing 11 damage from Stone ghost.

 

Clankerton may post the three actions for the round that is missed, as well as the actions for this round now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CREATURES HAVE GONE. EVERYONE MAY ACT IN ANY ORDER!

 

Critical Success You remember the creature's weaknesses, and as you empower your esoterica, you have a flash of insight that grants even more knowledge about the creature. You learn all of the creature's resistances, weaknesses, and immunities, including the amounts of the resistances and weaknesses and any unusual weaknesses or vulnerabilities, such as what spells will pass through a golem's antimagic. You can exploit either the creature's mortal weakness or personal antithesis (see below). Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren't already.

Jinkins are weak to cold iron, though personal antithesis may do more damage.

 

11 Stone ghost. AC 20. Max HP 40. AC 21 temporarily due to shield spell.

Total 18 damage. Resistance 5, and double resistance vs non magical, stone, or effects with the earth trait. 2 from Zyrel shooting. 12 from Joseph flaming sphere. 3 from Zyrel shooting. 1 from Joseph floating flame.

EDIT ABP at 2nd level means +1 strikes, which I will interpret as magical. Thus the creature takes 2 damage instead of zero.

 

11 Jinkin 1. AC 17. Max HP 19.

Total damage 25. DEAD Made up of 6 from Armenga scatter scree. 4 from Firea electric arc. 15 Armenga.

11 Jinkin 2. AC 17. Max HP 19.

Total damage 23. DEAD Made up of 11 from Firea electric arc. 12 Joseph floating flame.

Interaction Abilities 

Tinkercurse, primal, transmutation A group of six jinkins can work together for an hour to imbue an item with a curse at a range of 60 feet. While this process is lengthy, it’s also unobtrusive and can be performed while Hiding. Jinkins prefer to use this ability on magic items. The curse makes the item unreliable (DC 5 flat check or waste any action to Interact with or Activate the item), adds a bizarre requirement to use the item, or imparts some other curse of a similar caliber.

Offensive Or Proactive Abilities 

Entombing Grasp earth, manipulate Requirements: A foe within Stone Ghost’s reach is standing on stone or soil; Effect: Stone Ghost briefly extends his intangibility to a foe and drags or pounds them into the earth. He makes an Athletics check against the target’s Fortitude DC. On a success, the foe is planted waist-deep in the ground and is immobilized and flat-footed until it Escapes (DC 22). On a critical success, the foe is completely buried and must hold its breath until it is free or else start suffocating. A successful Escape returns the foe to its original square on the surface, or the closest unoccupied square. Actions 2

 

So may attempt to Escape as a one action thing using on of... unarmed attack modifier, Acrobatics, or Athletics, vs DC 22. This action has the attack trait, regardless of which option was chosen.

 

Escape[one-action]

Attack 
Source Core Rulebook pg. 470 4.0

---

You attempt to escape from being grabbed, immobilized, or restrained. Choose one creature, object, spell effect, hazard, or other impediment imposing any of those conditions on you. Attempt a check using your unarmed attack modifier against the DC of the effect. This is typically the Athletics DC of a creature grabbing you, the Thievery DC of a creature who tied you up, the spell DC for a spell effect, or the listed Escape DC of an object, hazard, or other impediment. You can attempt an Acrobatics or Athletics check instead of using your attack modifier if you choose (but this action still has the attack trait).

Critical Success You get free and remove the grabbed, immobilized, and restrained conditions imposed by your chosen target. You can then Stride up to 5 feet.
Success You get free and remove the grabbed, immobilized, and restrained conditions imposed by your chosen target.
Critical Failure You don’t get free, and you can’t attempt to Escape again until your next turn.

C14. Gruesome Trophies
Three masks and three cloaks are affixed to the south wall of this claustrophobic cave, as though in mockery of people, with arms extended to the sides. All look colorful, but dirty and bloodstained. One of the masks depicts a stern antelope, another a kindly hare, and the last a smiling warthog.

One of the outfits—the hare mask and a bloodstained cloak in yellow and white has been affixed to a secret door, which is slightly askew on its hinges, leading southwards. DC 13 Perception check to notice it.

Anyone looking over the cloaks can attempt a DC 15 Nature or Survival check. On a success, dirt and dust on the lower half of the cloaks indicates that each wearer was somehow pulled partially into the ground before being killed.

This well-appointed bedroom and study almost makes one forget that it’s hidden deep underground. The space is neatly furnished with mismatched items, including a bearskin rug and extraordinarily comfortable-looking chair. A heavy professor’s desk sits off to one side, along with a massive, gently scuffed four-poster bed. Rugs and curtains hang in an inadequate attempt to make the space seem less like a cave, but craggy wall peeks through the gaps.

Clankerton Ratchet (Anvil Dwarf Inventor - Armor Innovation 3)

---

 : 19 + 2 shield |  : 14/40 |  +7 |  :+9  :+5  :+9 |  : 20ft

Conditions: enfeebled 1, overdrive, immoblile, flatfooted | Exploration Mode Default: Search

---

"WhatTheF..." Clankerton roared with a note of panic and desperation in his voice as he sank into the ground. The desperation grew under the assault of their enemies. As he brushed off the less impactful blows from the annoying gremlins Clankerton's expression grew more curious and thoughtful. To those that knew him best like his classmates, the prospect of creating technology that immersed him in solid earth and stone was clearly running through his mind.

Intially the dwarf felt it best to fight back and ignore his condition, raising his shield above his head to deflect further blows he lashed out with his axe. Clankerton grinned as despite the formidable defences of their enemy he managed two heavy blows. His nocked axe head he could sharpen later!

Given the success, he doubled down, kept his shield raised high and kept on swinging as if he was in a crafting flow at his anvil.

 

OOC

The hits of 19 and above from the Jinkin's hit. However not sure about the damage accuracy. Typically sneak is 1d6 - no negatives.
So teh damage would be I assume:
1d6-2 for being a weak grelmin + 1d6 sneak.
I think 2d6-2 is going to give the same result in all scenarios except when initial damage is a 1... eg. jinking rolls 1 for dmg and 2 for sneak - total dmg should still be 2 and not 1. But in the examples here - it works.
Clank takes total dmg of: 11 + 2 + 2 = 15
Oh - plus another 11 from another hit

 

Clanks' catching up on 2 rounds - so 6 actions total below

Action 1: raise shield
Action 2: strike
Action 3: strike

Action 1: raise shield
Action 2: strike
Action 3: strike

Notes: From a line of famous smiths in Dongun Hold, Clankerton has been fascinating with creating things since a young age. And sometimes destroying them. Whenever he is deep in thought, or otherwise preoccupied, Clankerton will absentmindedly construct/desctrut things as he thinks. An inquisitive soul, he is always asking questions to understand how things work, or why things are the way they are. Clankerton likes to build and create as a way to help others and the communities in which he lives. He loves seeing the looks of amazement on the faces of others whenever he builds something new and wonderful. Clankerton's main flaw is that when he tries to explain something to otheres he usually ends up speaking too quickly and very few can follow and understand him. Relatively tall for a dwarf, Clankerton keeps his beard trimmed short and out of the way. One can't be too careful with getting it trapped in a new creation. He keeps his black hair thick and brushed back so his bright green eyes can see what they are doing. Often slow to respond emotionally, he nonetheless has a bright smile that comes out when he is interested in something. When concentrating Clankerton has a habit of sticking his tongue half out of his mouth. His family had tried to sponsor his entry into the Magaambya to see if learning magic can add value to the family trade. He was unfortunately refused as it was unclear what alignment modern technology had with the teachings of Old Jatembe. They switched focus into getting him into the Blythir College in Arkenstar. He was accepted but recently... expelled in suspicious and frustrating circumstances.

You are treated as being in both spaces until the start of your next turn. Your mirror self mimics your actions exactly, but any effects you generate come from only one of your positions; you decide which each time you act. Anything that targets or would affect your reflection affects you and uses your statistics. Something that would target or affect both of you affects you only once. When you move, you choose which square to move from, but the mirror effect ends (see below). Some events force you to determine which image is the real you, and then end the effect and cause your mirror self to disappear; this happens automatically at the start of your next turn. It also happens if you choose to move out of your space. Other benefits of this implement add more events that can end the reflection. The effect also ends when you fall unconscious, at which point you decide which version is truly you. -Exploit VulnerabilitySelect a creature you can see and attempt an Esoteric Lore check against a standard DC for its level, as you retrieve the right object from your esoterica and use your implement to empower it. You gain the following effects until you Exploit Vulnerabilities again. Critical Success You remember the creature’s weaknesses, and as you empower your esoterica, you have a flash of insight that grants even more knowledge about the creature. You learn all of the creature’s resistances, weaknesses, and immunities, including the amounts of the resistances and weaknesses and any unusual weaknesses or vulnerabilities, such as what spells will pass through a golem’s antimagic. You can exploit either the creature’s mortal weakness or personal antithesis (see below). Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Success You recall an important fact about the creature, learning its highest weakness (or one of its highest weaknesses, if it has multiple with the same value) but not its other weaknesses, resistances, or immunities. You can exploit either the creature’s mortal weakness or personal antithesis. Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Failure Failing to recall a salient weakness about the creature, you instead attempt to exploit a more personal vulnerability. You can exploit only the creature’s personal antithesis. Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Critical Failure You couldn’t remember the right object to use and become distracted while you rummage through your esoterica. You become flat-footed until the beginning of your next turn. Mortal Weakness: Your unarmed and weapon Strikes activate the highest weakness you discovered with Exploit Vulnerability, even though the damage type your weapon deals doesn’t change. This damage affects the target of your Exploit Vulnerability, as well as any other creatures of the exact same type, but not other creatures with the same weakness. Personal Antithesis: -Only the target creature gains a weakness against your unarmed and weapon Strikes equal to 2 + half your level. -Implement's EmpowermentWhen you Strike, you can trace mystic patterns with an implement you’re holding to empower the Strike, causing it to deal 2 additional damage per weapon damage die. -Dubious KnowledgeWhen you fail (but don’t critically fail) a Recall Knowledge check using any skill, you learn a bit of true knowledge and a bit of erroneous knowledge, but you don’t have any way to differentiate which is which. -Diverse Lore-You can take a -2 penalty to your check to Recall Knowledge with Esoteric Lore to Recall Knowledge about any topic -When you succeed at your check to Exploit a Vulnerability, compare the result of your Esoteric Lore check to the DC to Recall Knowledge for that creature; if that number would be a success or a critical success, you gain information as if you had succeeded at the Recall Knowledge check. -Intimidating GlareYou can Demoralize with a mere glare. When you do, Demoralize loses the auditory trait and gains the visual trait, and you don’t take a penalty if the creature doesn’t understand your language. -Scroll ThaumYou can activate scrolls of any magical tradition, using your thaumaturge class DC for the scroll’s DC, rather than a particular spell DC. If a spell is on the spell list for multiple traditions, you choose which tradition to use at the time you activate the scroll. You can draw and activate scrolls with the same hand holding an implement, much like you can for esoterica. -Steeped in HistoryYou gain a +1 circumstance bonus to Recall Knowledge about the Magaambya, the tenets or history of your branch, and members of your branch. At 11th level, this increases to a +2 circumstance bonus. -Talisman EsotericaEach day during your daily preparations, you can make two talismans with an item level no higher than half your level. You know the formulas for all common talismans in the Core Rulebook of your level or lower. You remember your talisman formulas through oral tradition or mnemonics, so you don’t need a formula book for them. -ToughnessIncrease your maximum Hit Points by your level. The DC of recovery checks is equal to 9 + your dying condition value.

Mechanics/Actions

Other: 

Free:

Action 1: Exploit Vulnerability (21 v DC20. Activate personal antithesis since no weaknesses)

Action 2: Mirror's Reflection to flank with Clank

Action 3: Strike (flanking) 27 to hit, 19 damage (Piercing, magic) or 36 if that manages to be a crit because the ghost has another debuff I'm not aware of.

Reaction: Recognize SpellTrigger A creature within line of sight casts a spell that you don’t have prepared or in your spell repertoire, or a trap or similar object casts such a spell. You must be aware of the casting.

If you are trained in the appropriate skill for the spell’s tradition and it’s a common spell of 2nd level or lower, you automatically identify it (you still roll to attempt to get a critical success, but can’t get a worse result than success). The highest level of spell you automatically identify increases to 4 if you’re an expert, 6 if you’re a master, and 10 if you’re legendary. The GM rolls a secret Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion check, whichever corresponds to the tradition of the spell being cast.

Critical Success You correctly recognize the spell and gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your saving throw or your AC against it.
Success You correctly recognize the spell.
Failure You fail to recognize the spell.
Critical Failure You misidentify the spell as another spell entirely, of the GM’s choice.

Zyrel darts across the room, realizing only as he arrives that nobody is placed quite right to distract the Ghost from his assault. Nonetheless, he's here and can adjust later. He stabs at the miscreant with his rapier, an accurate strike that simply skids off his stony flesh.

Combat

 

OU OF COMBAT. BATTLE WON!

 

Critical Success You remember the creature's weaknesses, and as you empower your esoterica, you have a flash of insight that grants even more knowledge about the creature. You learn all of the creature's resistances, weaknesses, and immunities, including the amounts of the resistances and weaknesses and any unusual weaknesses or vulnerabilities, such as what spells will pass through a golem's antimagic. You can exploit either the creature's mortal weakness or personal antithesis (see below). Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren't already.

Jinkins are weak to cold iron, though personal antithesis may do more damage.

 

11 Stone ghost. DEAD. AC 20. Max HP 40. AC 21 temporarily due to shield spell.

Total 31+lots damage. Resistance 5, and double resistance vs non magical, stone, or effects with the earth trait. 2 from Zyrel shooting. 12 from Joseph flaming sphere. 3 from Zyrel shooting. 1 from Joseph floating flame. 6 6 1 so 13 from Clankerton. A bunch of damage from Armenga.

EDIT ABP at 2nd level means +1 strikes, which I will interpret as magical. Thus the creature takes 2 damage instead of zero.

 

11 Jinkin 1. AC 17. Max HP 19.

Total damage 25. DEAD Made up of 6 from Armenga scatter scree. 4 from Firea electric arc. 15 Armenga.

A successful Escape returns the foe to its original square on the surface, or the closest unoccupied square. Actions 2

You attempt to escape from being grabbed, immobilized, or restrained. Choose one creature, object, spell effect, hazard, or other impediment imposing any of those conditions on you. Attempt a check using your unarmed attack modifier against the DC of the effect. This is typically the Athletics DC of a creature grabbing you, the Thievery DC of a creature who tied you up, the spell DC for a spell effect, or the listed Escape DC of an object, hazard, or other impediment. You can attempt an Acrobatics or Athletics check instead of using your attack modifier if you choose (but this action still has the attack trait).

Critical Success You get free and remove the grabbed, immobilized, and restrained conditions imposed by your chosen target. You can then Stride up to 5 feet.
Success You get free and remove the grabbed, immobilized, and restrained conditions imposed by your chosen target.
Critical Failure You don’t get free, and you can’t attempt to Escape again until your next turn.

C14. Gruesome Trophies
Three masks and three cloaks are affixed to the south wall of this claustrophobic cave, as though in mockery of people, with arms extended to the sides. All look colorful, but dirty and bloodstained. One of the masks depicts a stern antelope, another a kindly hare, and the last a smiling warthog.

One of the outfits—the hare mask and a bloodstained cloak in yellow and white has been affixed to a secret door, which is slightly askew on its hinges, leading southwards. DC 13 Perception check to notice it.

Anyone looking over the cloaks can attempt a DC 15 Nature or Survival check. On a success, dirt and dust on the lower half of the cloaks indicates that each wearer was somehow pulled partially into the ground before being killed.

C15

This well-appointed bedroom and study almost makes one forget that it’s hidden deep underground. The space is neatly furnished with mismatched items, including a bearskin rug and extraordinarily comfortable-looking chair. A heavy professor’s desk sits off to one side, along with a massive, gently scuffed four-poster bed. Rugs and curtains hang in an inadequate attempt to make the space seem less like a cave, but craggy wall peeks through the gaps.

You are treated as being in both spaces until the start of your next turn. Your mirror self mimics your actions exactly, but any effects you generate come from only one of your positions; you decide which each time you act. Anything that targets or would affect your reflection affects you and uses your statistics. Something that would target or affect both of you affects you only once. When you move, you choose which square to move from, but the mirror effect ends (see below). Some events force you to determine which image is the real you, and then end the effect and cause your mirror self to disappear; this happens automatically at the start of your next turn. It also happens if you choose to move out of your space. Other benefits of this implement add more events that can end the reflection. The effect also ends when you fall unconscious, at which point you decide which version is truly you. -Exploit VulnerabilitySelect a creature you can see and attempt an Esoteric Lore check against a standard DC for its level, as you retrieve the right object from your esoterica and use your implement to empower it. You gain the following effects until you Exploit Vulnerabilities again. Critical Success You remember the creature’s weaknesses, and as you empower your esoterica, you have a flash of insight that grants even more knowledge about the creature. You learn all of the creature’s resistances, weaknesses, and immunities, including the amounts of the resistances and weaknesses and any unusual weaknesses or vulnerabilities, such as what spells will pass through a golem’s antimagic. You can exploit either the creature’s mortal weakness or personal antithesis (see below). Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Success You recall an important fact about the creature, learning its highest weakness (or one of its highest weaknesses, if it has multiple with the same value) but not its other weaknesses, resistances, or immunities. You can exploit either the creature’s mortal weakness or personal antithesis. Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Failure Failing to recall a salient weakness about the creature, you instead attempt to exploit a more personal vulnerability. You can exploit only the creature’s personal antithesis. Your unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren’t already. Critical Failure You couldn’t remember the right object to use and become distracted while you rummage through your esoterica. You become flat-footed until the beginning of your next turn. Mortal Weakness: Your unarmed and weapon Strikes activate the highest weakness you discovered with Exploit Vulnerability, even though the damage type your weapon deals doesn’t change. This damage affects the target of your Exploit Vulnerability, as well as any other creatures of the exact same type, but not other creatures with the same weakness. Personal Antithesis: -Only the target creature gains a weakness against your unarmed and weapon Strikes equal to 2 + half your level. -Implement's EmpowermentWhen you Strike, you can trace mystic patterns with an implement you’re holding to empower the Strike, causing it to deal 2 additional damage per weapon damage die. -Dubious KnowledgeWhen you fail (but don’t critically fail) a Recall Knowledge check using any skill, you learn a bit of true knowledge and a bit of erroneous knowledge, but you don’t have any way to differentiate which is which. -Diverse Lore-You can take a -2 penalty to your check to Recall Knowledge with Esoteric Lore to Recall Knowledge about any topic -When you succeed at your check to Exploit a Vulnerability, compare the result of your Esoteric Lore check to the DC to Recall Knowledge for that creature; if that number would be a success or a critical success, you gain information as if you had succeeded at the Recall Knowledge check. -Intimidating GlareYou can Demoralize with a mere glare. When you do, Demoralize loses the auditory trait and gains the visual trait, and you don’t take a penalty if the creature doesn’t understand your language. -Scroll ThaumYou can activate scrolls of any magical tradition, using your thaumaturge class DC for the scroll’s DC, rather than a particular spell DC. If a spell is on the spell list for multiple traditions, you choose which tradition to use at the time you activate the scroll. You can draw and activate scrolls with the same hand holding an implement, much like you can for esoterica. -Steeped in HistoryYou gain a +1 circumstance bonus to Recall Knowledge about the Magaambya, the tenets or history of your branch, and members of your branch. At 11th level, this increases to a +2 circumstance bonus. -Talisman EsotericaEach day during your daily preparations, you can make two talismans with an item level no higher than half your level. You know the formulas for all common talismans in the Core Rulebook of your level or lower. You remember your talisman formulas through oral tradition or mnemonics, so you don’t need a formula book for them. -ToughnessIncrease your maximum Hit Points by your level. The DC of recovery checks is equal to 9 + your dying condition value.

Armenga makes an exultant cheer as the dangerous ghost dissipates. "That could've gone much worse..." She exhales heavily. She pokes around for anything valuable it may have been carrying, then checks under the bed to find the rhinoceros mask. She bundles it with the hare, antelope, and warthog masks. "Someone at the school will know who these belonged to. Let's make sure they get home." She says rather solemnly.

She stands near the table with the notes, ready to help with any inquiries.

Reaction: Recognize SpellTrigger A creature within line of sight casts a spell that you don’t have prepared or in your spell repertoire, or a trap or similar object casts such a spell. You must be aware of the casting.

If you are trained in the appropriate skill for the spell’s tradition and it’s a common spell of 2nd level or lower, you automatically identify it (you still roll to attempt to get a critical success, but can’t get a worse result than success). The highest level of spell you automatically identify increases to 4 if you’re an expert, 6 if you’re a master, and 10 if you’re legendary. The GM rolls a secret Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion check, whichever corresponds to the tradition of the spell being cast.

Critical Success You correctly recognize the spell and gain a +1 circumstance bonus to your saving throw or your AC against it.
Success You correctly recognize the spell.
Failure You fail to recognize the spell.
Critical Failure You misidentify the spell as another spell entirely, of the GM’s choice.

Firea moved up to the others then looked down towards Clankerton a moment. "I must say that I am a bit curious as to how that feels myself." Firea said with an ear-twitch of curiosity.

"Miss Firea I am sure that is not a good state of being. Halfway through the floor like that." Auriflamma said as he sniffed and examined around Clankerton.

"I know I know. Which is why I'm curious about how he feels there, I never said I want to go through it myself." Firea gave a small shrug. "Can you climb out Clank, or do you need help?"

Armenga notices that the dwarf does seem just a touch shorter than normal. She comes over and holds out her small gilded mirror with a surface like quicksilver, "Here. Just look into this. See that spot over there? Really SEE yourself there. No, not like that, you're straining too hard. Okay, well a little more effort than that..." She says, tying to coach him through the quite simple process of instantaneous transpositional reflection. "Well, I guess we could always dig him out. Anyone bring a shovel?"

Clankerton grinned as the villian fell and looked down and tried to wiggle his toes. There was a very slight movement but otherwise a very tight feeling. Through his whole lower body.

"Feels...." Clankerton paused uncharacteristically, "Snug?"

The dwarf cocked his head to the side and rubbed his cheek smearing dust and blood across it. He thought for a few more seconds and then added in a torrent of words.

"Bythefieryforgeandsturdystonesofthemountains,letmeextrapolateitforyou,mefriends!Aye,beinghalfburiedinthegroundisapeculiarsensation,onethatstirstheverydepthsofadwarf'ssturdysoul.Imagineyerself,ifyewill,intheheartofthestone,surroundedbytheverybonesoftheearth.It'slikebeingcradledintheembraceofamotherlymountain,withthecooltouchofrockagainstyerskin.Theweightofthesoilabovepressesdown,acomfortingburdenthatspeakstotheancientconnectionbetweendwarfandstone.Thevibrationsoftheearthitselfbecomeasymphony,arhythmathatresonatesthroughverycore.Themuffledechoesofminingcreaturesandsubterraneancritterscreatealullabythatlullsadwarfintoastateoftranquility.It'sasiftheheartbeatoftheworlditselfcoursesthroughyervains.Andoh,thescents!Theearthyperfumeofminerals,themuskyaromaofdeeprootedplants,andthefainthintofmoltenmetalfromtheheartoftheforge.It'safragrantcocktailthatinvigoratesthesensesandmakesonefeelasthoughthey'repartoftheverysoiltheyrestin.But,mindye,it'snotwithoutitschallenges.Theconfinementcanbedauntingforthosenotattunedtothewaysoftheunderground.Yet,foradwarf,it'sasenseofsecurity,aconnectiontotheancestralhallsthatechoeswiththewhispersofourforebearers.So,beinghalfburiedintheground,it'snotjustaphysicalexperience,butaspiritualone.It'slikebecomingonewiththemountain,feelingthepulseoftheearth,andembracingthedeeprootedkinshipbetweendwarfandstone.ByTorag'ssbeard,it'sasensationthatwarmstheheartandsolidifiesthebondbetweenadwarfandtheveryessenceofthefantasticalrealmsbelow."

With his lengthy, but blindingly jumbled, disertation complete the dwarf heaved himself in an attempt to escape the clutches of the earth. His suit thrummed with the strain and finalled the mechanical hum died with a deflating whine. The dwarf held out both hands and looked to the others.

"Help?"

With the others grabbing and pulling he shimmied and shook himself til he broke free from the earth. With a broad grin still on his face he studied the hole intently, taking out a notebook to sketch the size and nature of the hole.

Notes: From a line of famous smiths in Dongun Hold, Clankerton has been fascinating with creating things since a young age. And sometimes destroying them. Whenever he is deep in thought, or otherwise preoccupied, Clankerton will absentmindedly construct/desctrut things as he thinks. An inquisitive soul, he is always asking questions to understand how things work, or why things are the way they are. Clankerton likes to build and create as a way to help others and the communities in which he lives. He loves seeing the looks of amazement on the faces of others whenever he builds something new and wonderful. Clankerton's main flaw is that when he tries to explain something to otheres he usually ends up speaking too quickly and very few can follow and understand him. Relatively tall for a dwarf, Clankerton keeps his beard trimmed short and out of the way. One can't be too careful with getting it trapped in a new creation. He keeps his black hair thick and brushed back so his bright green eyes can see what they are doing. Often slow to respond emotionally, he nonetheless has a bright smile that comes out when he is interested in something. When concentrating Clankerton has a habit of sticking his tongue half out of his mouth. His family had tried to sponsor his entry into the Magaambya to see if learning magic can add value to the family trade. He was unfortunately refused as it was unclear what alignment modern technology had with the teachings of Old Jatembe. They switched focus into getting him into the Blythir College in Arkenstar. He was accepted but recently... expelled in suspicious and frustrating circumstances.
