The Orb - DM Matt Tuesday March 3rd, 2009 8:40:58 PM
As Vedik brings the orb closer to the round depression, the entire basin begins to glow brighter, and the orb pulses stronger and stronger. It almost falls out of Vedik's grip from the vibrations.
Vedik Dexterity check DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: { The orb didn't quite "fall" out of your grip. More like it tried to move out of your grip. The difference in sensation is almost undetectable, but you'd swear it was trying to get to the round spot on the floor}
Vedik casts a spell and and runs his fingers over the script, quickly learning what is written:
The Orb of Vassi in its place, Masters come through time and space, To rule with power, wisdom, grace, To give the Wold their dark embrace.
Vedik Highlight to display spoiler: { since I honestly don't know, we'll just say "same thing as drawing it in normal air." If your concern is having it float away, assume the blood is thicker and heavier than the seawater, and so will sit in your hand just fine, unless you tip it or something.}
Tratain takes a moment to ready his warhammer.
Plyf grabs a trident and tries a few practice stabs with the weapon, getting a feel for its weight and balance. Plyf Highlight to display spoiler: {You as Plyf don't know this yet, of course, but you as Buzz should add +2 to your attack rolls with the trident}
Plyf intelligence check DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: { Playig with the trident, you get the sense that the weapon would perform admirably if thrown by a skilled hand. It is sleek and well-crafted. You can't tell more just from your examination}
Plyf also uses her Greater Invisibility wand on whoever accepts it. [Please specify if you are now invisible]
Monthor moves to the door, along with an invisible Dwight. As the pair reaches the entrance, they are almost knocked over backward as something moves past quickly. Another giant fish, passing within inches of the door, snarls as it swims pass.
Clearly no chance encounter. The fish knows that enemies - or at least food - is nearby.
The drums, meanwhile, sound like they are just around the corner.

Plyf tucks her wand in her belt and in her off hand holds the glowing weapon. "lets see what this does now." She reaches over and uses her UMD on a rod that was found.

Vedik calls on the power of Alemi to draw Woldsblood and begins to fix the orb as he has done in the past. While doing this, he slowly transfers the orb from his hands to the basin, being extra certain to not let it slip. He places the Orb in the depression, and when the repair is done, attempts to activate it.

He says "When the Portal opened from the other side it was always near our Orb, so the Legions orb should be close. When The Portal Opens get ready to go in after it, I'll need to cast two spells before we go into the portal Once I give the signal we go."

"How much time we looking at?" inquires Dwight as he silently counts before the big fish returns (attempting to get rotation pattern) "Given the dead outside, they've got to know we are close," he adds ever so quietly.
Remaining invisibile, watching and waiting for Tratain word to enter the legion's Wold.

Before going in... Monthor will activate his protection from evil Brahm's tatoo.
The Orb - DM Matt 2d20=19 ; Thursday March 5th, 2009 7:33:53 AM
Plyf plays with one of the rods, but can't seem to make it activate. She picks up the other rod and waves it a few times. It glows briefly, then stops again. Whatever it does, it just did it, though there are no apparent signs of anything. [OOC: UMD lets you activate blindly, but it doesn't provide any information as to an item's properties, other than what you can see]
At the least, Plyf doesn't explode, so maybe the rod isn't too dangerous.
Monthor, now invisible, stands at the doorway, axe in hand, ready to decapitate the first eel-man that walks through.
Tratain gives some instructions and warnings, preparing to cast a few spells before going through any (hopeful) portal that appears.
Dwight watches the street for a moment, and counts 19 seconds until the fish (or another one) swims by again, this time a bit slower.
The drums stop beating. Poking their heads out, Monthor and Dwight look up and down the street, beholding a grim scene. At least 50 eel-men warriors clogging the street on each side (about 100 feet away in either direction), with small groups of mages directing them.
Overhead, a number of giant sawfish swim to and fro.
To the left, one eel-man wearing a dark red, scaley tunic and holding a long sceptre, raises hands to mouth and yells, "INTRUDERS! LAND WALKERS! Come out, return to us what is ours, and swim out of here alive!" There is a ripple of laughter and tail thrashing when he uses the word "swim." "You have until the count of twenty."
There is no indication that any of them see the invisible Dwight and Monthor.
Meanwhile, Vedik is working feverishly, yet deliberately, on the orb.
He places the glass ball into the depression, and the entire surface of the orb changes. Reddish, glowing lines appear all over the orb, making a grid of sorts. The entire orb now looks like a chessboard wrapped into a ball. There is a faint click when Vedik places it in the depression, and it locks itself into place. The entire room begins to hum faintly.
Vedik takes a moment to draw some Woldsblood, and looks over the orb. He immediately notices that in several places, the gridlines are either erased, or redirected. The reddish glow is fainter in those places.
On the wall at the back of the basin, something flashes. A wide space in the wall, floor to ceiling and almost 8 feet long, turns black for a moment, then flashes back to normal.
A second later, the same flash: a scene of dark red mountains on a grey sky, lighting thrusting from blackened clouds. Back to the white wall.
A crumbling marble temple, twisted, demonic bodies laying dead on the floor. A larger, black-scaled demon stands over the bodies, snarling, then looks up. It sees Vedik and points a gnarled finger in his direction. Back to the white wall.
The flashes continue, showing a variety of unsettling scenes. Those watching notice, in some, a few of the Legion warriors you've fought before (including the dead bodies on the temple floor).
Vedik sits, Woldsblood at the ready, and counts a total of 8 places on the orb where the gridlines are disrupted in some way. Applying two drops to one of the places where a gridline has been erased, he finds that he can retrace the intended path of the line by tracing it with his finger after applying the Woldsblood.
Vedik Highlight to display spoiler: { You can use your Restore All ability to fix the orb. There are two types of problems: a mising line, which will take 2 drops to fix, and a misdirected line, which will take 3 drops (1 to erase the incorrect line, 2 to draw the new one). It is a full round action to make one repair, so please be specific as to actions in the next post. You have 30 seconds to act before next DM post, so anything that takes a move action needs to be specified as well. It may become important to determine exactly when the orb is fully repairs in relation to the enemies outside}

Addendum:
I meant that Vedik fixed one in my post above. There are 7 spots remaining.

"Whatever you have to do, hurry up! There is a school of fishies out there and someof them cast spells, I think." Plyf inhales a deep lungful of water to try and relax and not able to block the door as was suggested, she takes a moment and casts Detect Magic to look closer at the rod.

"I have an eversmoking bottle, should I let if go to fog their vision? I'm pretty certain they already know where we are."
Dwight looks to the others holding his action, waiting for approval or disapproval.
OOC: This is assuming the smoke would exit the building, as I don't want to make Vedik's job harder.

Frustration sets in on the rogue turned bard. She has always been one of action and movement. Waiting was never something she enjoyed. She does trust her new companions though. They seem very sure of themselves and from the damage they have dealt to those that stood in their way, she is glad to be supporting them from behind, instead of being one of the unfortunate.
The Orb - DM Matt d20+29=31 ; d6=4 ; Sunday March 8th, 2009 12:38:34 PM
Monthor suggests sealing the room off. Looking around, he notices that the main entry is the only significant opening in the room. There are a few minor holes here and there, probably due to wear and tear and the rigors of time, but nothing is getting in except through the main door, or by actually taking a wall down.
"Nineteen . . . Twenty!" calls the voice from outside. "Landwalkers! Have you made your choice? Come out!"
Plyf calls out a warning, then casts Detect Magic on the rods, looking them over for a few moments. Plyf Highlight to display spoiler: { You identify one has having a strong aura of abjuration, and the other as having a strong magical aura as well, though not of any specific school of magic. You guess that the second must be some sort of metamagic rod, given the lack of specific magical school.}
Tratain prepares to cast a spell on the door, but waits until he is warned by the others.
Dwight keeps an eye on those outside, and sees the leader point toward the building. Dwight Highlight to display spoiler: {The eel-men begin advancing, slowly, brandishing their tridents. A few of them swim upward, calling out some odd words or sounds, and a number of the giant fish congregate over the warriors. The eel-men who appear to be spellcasters move outward, keeping a safe distance from your building but getting into defensive positions behind rocks, broken walls, or whatever they can find. All told, you count the leader, 9 spellcasters, 14 giant sawfish along with their handlers, and (you estimate) 40-50 warriors on each end of the street (80-100 warriors total, don't double the other types). You are pretty sure they are going to storm the building any second. OOC: the bottle will work underwater, and you can throw it since you can move freely. Once the bottle leaves you, it won't be subject to freedom of movement, so when the smoke starts pouring out, it may not spread quite as quickly or widely due to the water, but it will work the same, more or less.}
Vedik, during all of this, sets to work on the orb. [OOC: FRA to fix either type of damage. Erasing a line takes a drop, but is quick to do, so 1 FRA for either type of repair]
He draws his Woldsblood and repairs 2 of the misdirected lines, leaving 2 more misdirected and 3 erased lines. He draws more Woldsblood (I rolled, drew 4), and repairs one more misdirected line.
Even after a few of the repairs are made, the orb begins to hum more loudly. Its vibrations become more intense, and the red lines glow brighter and deeper. You can feel the orb increasing in strength. The building begins to vibrate lightly, and shouts can be heard outside.
"Landwalkers!" "
They have the orb!"
"Kill them!"
Meanwhile, the wall behind the forge flashes with views of some other world. The pictures stay longer, and become more clear, as the seconds pass.
A group of Legion demons rip the arms off a screaming human woman, then throw her into a dark pit. flash
A room, much like the one the Knights stand in, with a similar basin, made of black stone instead of white. The image hovers for a moment, then fades. flash
A balor locked in combat with an enormous, black-scaled monster much like that you saw in the temple scene a moment before. The two struggle, rolling on the ground and clawing their faces. flash
Back to the room. Peaceful, quiet. It appears to be vibrating lightly, just like the room you are in. flash
A lake of red water. No, it flows too slowly, too thickly. A lake of blood. A great, reddish-brown lake of blood, stretching as far as the eye can see. flash

"Tratain, they can sense the power of the orb and are ready to rush in. They have scores of folks, spellcasters, giant fish and tons of warriors; (see numbers of each above) by my count. It might be best to seal us up now that they have given the order to kill us."
He looks around not seeing anyone (everyone is invisible). "It might be best for us to be near the portal so we can all jump in at the same time. I'll drop my bottle which will fill the room with smoke, hopefully covering our escape to some degree."
"How much longer "V""
Dwight takes one quick glance (spot: 31) and then moves closer to the portal that keeps changing.

Dwight is more than ready to leave this forge, knowing what stands/swims outside these walls.
His thumb rests on the top of the cork, ready to pop it off as the group sets to move into the portal. Confusion to any degree is always good when escaping from one death trap and leaping into another. Course its always better if we get to escape both in the end. For the good of the Wold, what I am willing to do to acquire stories to tell in my old age.
The Orb - DM Matt d100=11 ; Tuesday March 10th, 2009 7:39:05 AM
Plyf calls out her discoveries, then quickly casts Greater Invisibility on Dwight and Monthor.
Dwight warns the others about how many enemies are advancing outside, then suggests they all stand near the portal for a quick escape.
He checks once more outside before moving toward the portal. The warriors are now about 40 feet away and closing quickly. One of the mages raises his hands, lighting shooting forth from his fingers. Not having any good target to choose from, he fires blindly, and the bolt strikes the marble wall next to the door, knocking a few large chunks off.
One of the other mages yells at the first, then casts his own spell. Finishing, he smiles and points right at Dwight and Monthor. His eyes lock with Dwights for a brief second before he starts calling orders to the others.
A trio of over-eager warriors suddenly burst through the door, tridents raised, looking around for a target. [Dwight and Monthor can take AoOs, plus regular attacks if desired. The eel men don't appear to see any of you]
One of them spots the orb and shouts something at the other two.
Monthor urges Vedik to hurry, just before the eel-men burst in. Fred in hand, the dwarf finds himself in a quandary: chop the enemy to bits, or preserve his invisibility?
Tratain quickly casts his spell, throwing up a bright, glowing wall across the doorway. The three warriors look at the wall, then each other. "Gar-buk . . ." one of them mutters as his shoulders slump, the sound of resignation in his voice.
The three of them crouch in defensive positions, back to back to back, tridents pointing outward and waiting for anything to appear.
Vedik, meanwhile, draws a few more drops of Woldsblood and quickly repairs the rest of the orb [you counted wrong, some of those were 2 drop repairs but I think you counted them as 3s, you probably have a few drops left over]
As he fills in the last red line, the portal on the wall flashes back to the black-stone mirror image of this room and holds steady. A bit of wavering around the edges, but the image is strong. A smell of sulfur and ash fills the room, and you realize it is coming from the portal. It is almost as if the walls is no longer there, and the other room is just an extension of this building.
Seeing the portal open, the eel-men become agitated. One of them sees the orb and runs for it, attempting to snatch it off the floor. [Plyf gets an AoO as he runs by, if she wants it, and Vedik the same since he is right next to the Orb] The warrior grabs the orb and tries to lift it, but he is met with some strong resistance. He pulls with all his might, trying to free the glass ball.

Tratain swings his hammer at the eel-man going after the orb, striking it 4 times.
Dwight holds back, waiting to use his bottle when the time appears right.
Vedik attacks the warrior as well, and after Tratain's hits, manages to fell the eel-man as he reaches the orb.
Plyf takes an attack of opportunity, causing herself to become visible (but sneak attack does apply), putting a deep puncture wound in a warrior's side.
No one can actually see Monthor, but somehow, his broad smile can be heard 'round the room as Fred the axe goes to work. Monthor attacks Plyf's target, taking it down quickly, then follows through with an attack on the other warrior. In the blink of an eye, numerous bloody parts of two eel-warriors lie on the floor, one of the tails still swishing back and forth. Mercifully, the two warriors probably didn't even realize what was happening until the deed was done.
Plyf quickly returns to being invisible.
Quiet fills the room, other than the light humming that now emanates from the portal. The orb fully repaired, its red lines glow brightly. The portal is more or less stable, and has ceased flashing from scene to scene.
The prismatic wall has succeeded in stopping the enemy attack, at least for the present. [Tratain, give me an SR check on that just in case it becomes necessary]

Vedik follows Tratain through the portal. "Move fast, grab the orb and return here. Do not get involved in a prolonged fight." he calls as they leave this world for the other.
Dwight hp 144/144, ac 25 Wednesday March 11th, 2009 9:14:51 PM
As the last eel-man falls, Dwight uncorks the readied bottle (readied action from last round). Smoke quickly pours from the bottle giving the room an eerie darker look.
Following Tratains voice and Vedik's suggestion, he corks the bottle and then enters the portal hoping for no fight at all.
DM Sanity:
Eversmoking Bottle: Produces a great amount of smoke and totally obsures vision across a spread of 50' in 1 round. If left unstoppered, spreads another 10' per round until it has spread 100'. The area remains smoke filled until bottle is corked.
OOC: I'm thinking the room gets 1 round of smoke before being corked and Dwight vanishes to the new realm.

Without hesitation, Plyf loots the dead ell man by the orb she just stabbed before it was done in by another and wonders if she should stay behind and protect the orb on this side. After but a moment though, she believes she couldn't do a very good job by herself and swims through with the others.

The Orb - DM Matt d20+24=36 ; Monday March 16th, 2009 7:28:06 AM
Tratain ensures that his wall is holding strong, then steps first through the portal. Vedik follows closely behind, urging everyone to act quickly.
Dwight lets some smoke out of his bottle, quickly filling a portion of the room with thick, eerie smoke. The smoke doesn't spread quite as quickly as it would in the open air, but within a few seconds, the entire room will be thick with the vapors.
Plyf pauses, torn between staying to protect this orb and moving to get the second, and chooses the latter. She steps through the portal, followed last by Monthor.
Stepping through the portal, you take in the room on the other side. At first glance, it previously appeared to mirror the room you left, but apparently, only the large stone basin was the same. This room is far more massive, spreading over 200 feet on a side. At random points up the walls are open, dark doorways. The doorways almost hang in mid air, having no visible means of ingress or egress. They are, in effect, just windows to anyone restricted to ground movement.
The black-stone room has a high, vaulted ceiling, itself almost 100 feet from the floor. Dominating the center of the room is a large pool of greenish, bubbling liquid. Boiling water? No, not quite. It's hard to tell.
Above that, about 20 feet up, hovers a multi-colored, glowing sphere of energy, about 20 feet in diameter. The sphere alternates through many colors. As it temporarily shifts to one of the lighter hues, you are able to glimpse a large glass ball in the center. Around the ball, and filling the sphere, is the same greenish, bubbling liquid as in the pool.
You are unable to take in more, as two large balls of sticky, black thread shoot at you from the pool. You barely have time to notice two enormous, fat, beetle-like monsters emerging from the pool, their black, misshapen appendages barely holding them afloat. You've seen these things before. The Legion pets fire their sticky threads at you, while at the same time a long, lonely, off-tune note sounds from a horn somewhere above, from one of the doorways.
Everyone make a single grapple check vs DC 36.

Tratain takes in the Room that the group is in. The Legion pets attempt to entangle him but his magic keeps him safe (Freedom of Movement, Tratain's Opposed Grapple is also 52 right now).
Tratain is able to identify the substance in the Pool as Acid, and he is able to Identify the Prismatic Sphere. (Int Check 20, Spellcraft Check 30)
He calls out to his companions "It looks like they have the Orb suspended somehow in the middle of a Prismatic Sphere full of Acid. Something Doesn't seem right though, that Acid should fall out of the Sphere its not Solid. Stay Close and let me make sure this isn't a Trick. Everyone try and spot the Orb. Dwight Try and get closer if you can to get a look in that Pool of Acid. The Orb has to be set in the Basin on our side so it might have to be the same here. That Prismatic sphere might be a Trick."
Tratain then Casts True Seeing and takes a closer look at the Sphere and what is inside of it trying to determine if it is real or a trick. He also glances around the room attempting to see into the Acid Pool and if there are any illusions he can detect. (Spot 24)
Dwight Is also under a sanctuary spell cast on him by Tratain. Any Creature attempting to target Dwight for an attack must make a DC 25 Will Save.

(OOC: Rolling grapple check since DM said everyone, but if Sanctuary saves Dwight all the better)
Dwight looks around and quickly dodges whatever it was that tried to grappled him (save: 38). A bit unnerved he misses the acid, (int. 5), but believes Tratain. The colored sphere definitely means magic, though Dwight doesn't know what type until Tratain again points it out.
Two for two, Dwight follows Tratains commands. He advances towards the pool, still invisible and protected casts Detect Magic focusing at first at the pool.

Tratain quickly casts True Seeing, but finds that the scene is the same as it otherwise was. [Sanctuary protects against direct target spells/effects/attacks, not area targets like fireballs or, as here, an area grapple effect. No will save needed by the Anchors for that attack]
Dwight, invisible, moves forward toward the pool, casting Detect Magic and focusing on the bubbling, greenish acid. He sees no noticeable magical auras in or around the pool, except the glowing magicla prism hanging in the air overhead, which glows strongly of magic.
Vedik activates his wings and floats upward.
Monthor does the same with his boots, flying upward and toward the sound of the horn. He quickly spots the horn-blower, a small Legion demon standing in a doorway 40 feet up. He gets close, and will reach the enemy next turn.
The demon spots Monthor coming, and looks around as if suddenly noticing he is alone. A brief look of fear crosses his ugly, scarred face, then he steels himself and grins, knowing the likely outcome of this encounter. Dropping his horn, he brandishes his gauntlet blades as if beckoning Monthor forward.
Plyf dodges the sticky substance, and reacts quickly, nocking and firing an arrow at one of the Anchors. The arrow nearly buries itself in the enemy's hide, but deflects off a scale and falls into the acid, sizzling as it melts.
The large, beetlelike Anchors snap their mouth pincers, snarling at the Knights, but they stay put. Realizing their entangling twine won't help here, they growl impotently and wait.
The Scout near Monthor decides that now is as good a time as any to die, and floats forward and down toward the dwarf. No matter having seen it before, this method of flight remains eerie: the demon simply floats through the air, it's legs motionless, toes hanging downward. Raising its arm, it swings a blackened gauntlet blade at Monthor, barely managing to scratch the dwarf.
[Hit AC 33, 11 damage]
As the first small skirmish begins in mid-air, the various entryways of the hall begin filling with Legion. Across the room, a group of the smaller ones (like that fighting Monthor) emerge and point at the Knights. To the left and ahead, a trio of demons emerges, blades drawn and ready, and across from them another pair runs out of a doorway, a third Anchor in tow.

Tratain Calls out to his Friends "I don't see any Illusions, it looks like the Orb really is inside the Prismatic Sphere. We don't have the spells to bring it down or a Rod of Cancelation so someone is going to have to go in there and fetch it."
Tratain then again uses his Protector Abilities to cast a Prismatic Wall to block off the new enemies from approaching for a little while (Prismatic Wall Placed just behind the Prismatic sphere, Along the 23/24 Line. It is 96 Feet across, so there is a 2 Foot Gap on either side of the wall and 48 Feet Tall)
He Then quickly casts a second spell on Vedik. (Quicken Extended Spell Resistance, Vedik now has SR 36)

Dwight feels completely helpless as Vedik takes a deep breath and launches himself into the mysterious floating sphere of sure to be not-so-nice stuff.
Still covered by Tratains protection, Dwight moves a bit to the west (F30), in the hopes of grabbing Vedik (if needed) on his way out. During this time, he watches Vedik carefully (spot: 30) to see how he fairs inside.

Monthor stirkes hard, Fred whirls pasts the Legion Scout's defences laying three viscious wounds in the creature and bringing howls of pain from its throat.
Tratain throws a pair of spells. The first brings up a Prismatic Wall acroos the chamber and the second bolsters Vedik.
Ply readies on the approaching creatures, but the Prismatic Wall likely makes the point moot.
Vedick then soars upwards and barges into the Prismatic Sphere
Dwight moves closer to the sphere, though as he is still on the ground, there will be little he can do for Vedick.
The Legion is coming....

Lights flash and a rumble rolls slowly through the room as Vedick breeches the Sphere. To the Gray Knights he is lost from sight in the scintilating colors above, but did he make it? Caster Level Checks against Vedick's Spell Resistance [All successful on the way in.]
The Demon on Monthor switches tactics and simply reaches out for the powerful warrior. A black nimbus aura flashes as the Legion Scout makes contact and Monthor feels a cold chill run through his body. [ I count Monthor's Touch AC at 19 Legion Hit AC 24 and 34 Con Drain 3 and thus 17HP]
The Anchors still lie in wait within the acid pool, possibly for a command, possibly out of fear.

Dwight lifts off the ground on his broom, hoping to get a better view as to the whereabout of Vedik. (OOC: Should have done this last round, but thought I was already floatin'.....dang water in the ears has my equilibrium off)
Helplessly waiting, Dwight holds his bow readied and watches (spot: 28)

Vedik winces as the acid burns his flesh. Reaching out, he grabs the orb and tries to pull it free, flying out of the sphere back to his friends.
TratainCurrent Spells HP 258/234 AC 42 Wednesday March 25th, 2009 5:08:07 PM
Tratain waits and watches for the Old Dwarf to emerge from the Prismatic Sphere with the Legions Orb. If he is looking worse for wear Tratain will cast Heal on him.
If Vedik can escape from the Sphere with the Orb he yells to his Friends "Back through the Portal Now, before they follow us!"
If the group makes it out safely he will seal off the Portal entrance with a wall of Force.
OOC:Sorry for the If post but alot depends on if Vedik can make it out with the Orb or not.

It is impossible to see into the Sphere of near blinding scintillating colors, but answers are had soon enough and not all of them are happy ones.
Monthor kills the creature in front of him. The Legion Scout does not even have the opportuinity to cry out in pain as Fred tears through it.
Vedick emerges from the sphere. In his charred and blackened hands is the Orb. Vedik please make saves in the order listed. Wings of Flying are still providing Flight.
All ongiong spells have been destroyed. Color Violet Creatures sent to another plane (Will DC 23 negates). Color Indigo Insanity as the spell (Will DC 23 negates). Color Blue Turned to stone (Fortitude DC 23 negates). Color Green Poison (Kills; Fortitude DC 23 partial for 1d6 points of Con damage instead). Color Yellow Deals 80 points of electricity damage (Reflex DC 23 half). Color Orange Deals 40 points of acid damage (Reflex DC 23 half). Color Red Deals 20 points of fire damage (Reflex DC 23 half).
I moved the flying Legion but will hold off from the Anchor's in the pool from acting as several folks were waiting on Vedick
Coming in over the Prismatic Wall are ten more of the Legion. They eearily float in silence and fall into groups on the left right and center.

Vedick emergs from the Sphere with the Orb a bit Vedik falls through the prismatic sphere, burned, singed and shocked. Not even seeing the creatures above him, he stands and begins making his way towards the portal with the orb.
"Time ta go" he calls.

Dwight quickly falls in line behind Vedik, flying towards the portal as fast as Vedik.
Amazing, simple amazing. So glad that Vedik made it out, but the smell of burnt dwarf is most unpleasant!

Tratain runs for the portal makeing sure everyone else has gone through before he steps through, and given enough time he Casts Wall of Force on the Wold side of the Portal to Block any more legion from comming through.

Plyf is nervous on what to do. She understands that the orb must leave the room before the swarm of demons can pounce, but she too doesn't want to see anyone left behind.
Slinging her bow she yells, "I'm out of here!" She uses her move action to egress back into the watery forge on the other side. She swims up to the orb and waits for the others to come through before she attempts to remove it from the forge.
Action swim up to orb and prepare to remove it. Swim: 15

Vedik moves in incredibly heroic slow motion, carrying the orb like a football as he flies past the legion. "Goooooooooooooooooooooooo!" he shouts in a ridiculously exaggerated fashion.
At What Price Monday March 30th, 2009 10:32:20 PM
The Legion is flying quickly up on the group, Monthor activates Dimensional Door and stops at teh portal. Seems a planar gate can not be crossed via dimesnsional travel. One must step through and so the dwarf does.
Plyf too, makes a break fro the portal, slinging her bow as she does so.
Tratain pulls up short, frantically waving his companions through. The corner of his eye catches the dozen or so Legion demons closing and further off another score has just entered the cavern. He casts Wall of Force.
The first of the Raider Demons slam into the invisible barrier. Thier faces blast open and ichor sprays the invisible shield. Mouths rip wide in screams unheard, for though the floor vibrates from the cacophony behind that Wall nothing can penetrate it, including sound.
Dwight launches through and is followed immediately by Vedick and the orb.
A wisp of smoke coils from the floor on the other side of the Wall of force and quickly coalleses into a human male. His lip curls slightly before be gives what appears to be a gracious but short bow to the last Grey Knight.
The Portal fades into an inky pitch as Monthor, Vedick, Plyf and Dwight look on. The horror is realized and the portal is gone and Tratain is still on the other side.

"No, NO, NO!!!!!!"
Plyf screams as she waits for the others to come through, but once the orb crosses the barrier, the scene goes dark.
She slumps against the forge. "I shouldn't have left until I knew everyone was through. I knew I should have stayed to be sure."
She begins to cry at the thought of what may be happening to one of her new found friends as they speak. She is sure, if there is a fate worse then death he will be experiencing it.
"Do you think they will want to make a trade, him for the orb?" She attempts to speak over the sounds of her sobs.

The look on the fixers face as he realizes Tratain is not with them is quickly replaced by a second realization, that he is no longer protected by his underwater breathing spell.
Luckily he prepared several Water Breathing spells, and casts his last one. Being prudent, he touches everyone present, giving them a second layer against dispelling magics.
He takes a moment to recover his breath.

spot: 25 (estimation of how long party has been gone from Forge room)
He then looks to the our Orb to see how Plyf's coming with its movement; it is at this point he realizes what he saw in the fog. "Trat....Surely he...can't be....something we...I should have" he stutters unable to put coherent words to his current situation.

" If we can't get him out, then we must find a way to leave now... he would have wanted it that way... and we can always rip through the netherworld later until we find him.... "
