Dwight hp 218/218, ac 33/25/34)) Saturday February 12th, 2011 10:25:32 AM
Dwight looks over the pile and wonders if the gloves of storing, as they currently are might be helpful for him and the group. "Do you think it would be helpful, if I wore the glovesss with the ssscorching ray? Sssomeone should wear them and at leassst use the ssspell. We will need all the power we can get our handsss on." He chuckles at the un-intended joke.
"The glovesss of teleport ssshould be usssed asss well. Anyone not have a way to teleport themssselvesss at leassst once?"
(OOC: Dwight seems to do decent damage now, so if someone else can do damage with the gloves they should take them.)
In the palace, Dwight tries to relax, his hives dissipating in the warm water. His eyes becoming less blood-shot with the third helping of bread, cheese, fruit and some small battered shrimp.
Eventually Dwight asks, "Ssso do we have an end plan? We need to find two gemsss. A third gem isss within the handsss of a Lich who sssaysss he wissshes to help usss and then depart purely for resssearch. And then, the gemsss must be usssed to sssummon the Dread massster." Dwight knows most of these thoughts don't have exact answers, but he is also filling in his new companions.

Mac looks at Dwight, trying to get his mind around the premise. "Are you saying the gloves will teleport anyone who wears them? I don't have teleport myself, and I'm interested, but I'm not sure how that works?"
OOC: Is this a spell trigger item, or does it behave like a Helm of Telportation and Gloves of Storing?
Dwight hp 218/218, ac 33/25/34)) Saturday February 12th, 2011 6:23:57 PM
OOC: I presumed they were activated by a word. They would then need to be re-stored with a spell.

OOC: I believe the gloves are gloves of storing. Inside the gloves of storing are scrolls.
Jass of Downs AC:28 CMD: 22 HP: 178/178 Sunday February 13th, 2011 8:39:40 AM
Jass wraps a brightly designed robe provided by the staff to lose his body in its soft folds and moves to the main room for food and drink and companionship.
"I would be able to use any or all of the scrolls, and the Headband and Ion Stone would both be extremely useful. I think one of our warriors should have the Ion Stone, however, for added protection against lower level spells."
He turns his dead-looking eyes on Tratain. "Now may be a good time to fill the Crimson Shields up on exactly what is going on and why there are so many lichs on this floating island. Why are you collecting thier Soul Gems and not destroying them?"
He looks at Dwight. "Need to find 2 Gems? Plus one with a 'friendly' lich. Do you know where these gems are or who they are with? Besides the one lich that ran away that is. Pretty obvious where that Gem is."

Dwight hp 218/218, ac 33/25/34)) Sunday February 13th, 2011 9:38:33 AM
Dwight wonders if he is the best to try and answer Jass' questions. "Well," he begins. "Thisss floating isssland ssseemsss to be the stronghold of the Lordsss of Dread. The Lordsss are ssseven Lichesss, who have gathered in thisss rare occasssion to sssummon their sssupreme massster, ssso to ssspeak. The gemsss, when placed together properly, are the sssummoning device."
"Thusss far, in the three hoursss or ssso sssince we arrived, we have killed 5 Lichesss, found 4 of their gemsss. In one location we killed two, found one gem. We had hoped to find the other at their home location, but had no luck. We returned and the body wasss gone. Ssso we have one missssssing Lich plusss hisss gem. Then the Lich that jussst got away, with hisss gem and the conssspiring Lich, who we've talked too."
"I doubt I would ussse the word friendly, but he didn't attack usss and ssspoke of aiding usss for hisss own benefit of courssse. I sssussspect the Lichesss are bound by their massster in sssome way, and usss killing the massster would free him to put forth hisss full attention to ssstudy -- as he put it. I don't fully believe the Lich, asss I doubt anyone doesss, but we don't exactly know how to sssummon the massster, but the time isss near due to sssome assstrological alignment or sssomething."
Dwight then looks to the others to clarify or correct. Having been in the situation, Dwight is unsure of some of the details, so he can only imagine how lost his new comrades feel.

Tratain recharges his rings of counterspells and then relaxes for a while.
When Jass asks his question he says "Dwight has most of it correct. There is an Organization called the Sons of Dread, they generally go about doing bad things. A while ago they caused an earthquake in Plateau City so we went looking for them again. The Knights have been fighting the Dread since before I joined."
He continues "We learned that the Leaders of the Son's of Dread, the 8 Dread Lich's were meeting here to summon thier Master the Dread Himself. I think he is trying to become a god or something. If we can defeat the 8 Dread Lords and The Dread we can destroy thier organizations power for a long time if not destroy it outright. We have fought 6 of the Dread Lords, We have 4 of thier Soul Gems. We are missing the One from here that got away, One From a Draco-Lich, One from Bas'anut, who claims he wants to help us destroy the Dread and there is one more we have yet to encounter. We have less than a day to destroy them or they will all go thier seperate ways again and we will have lost our chance."
Rest and Relaxation - ADM Joe Monday February 14th, 2011 9:42:57 PM
The Group spends a day in much needed relaxation and conversation. Questions are asked and answered about the situation the Crimson Shields suddenly find themselves in alongside with the Grey Knights.
The Teucri Magic gives everyone a chance to rest and replenish inside the magic sanctum while time slows to a crawl outside, but its magic could only be used once and the respite it offers will soon come to and end.
Jass of Downs AC:28 CMD: 22 HP: 178/178 Tuesday February 15th, 2011 9:49:44 AM
"So, 8 Dread Lords, each a powerful lich, and each have part of a key that calls an uber-lich. And we kill the uber-lich to end the Dread, or at least this current incarnation of it."
"And we have 4 Gem-Keys. One missing from a draco-lich, one still kept from happy who teleported away, one from your lich friend who 'says' he'll give his to you, and one in whereabouts unknown."
"And you have no means of locating said Gems except by running about this island, for today only, and hoping to bump into them."
Jass smiles with sarcasm. "No problem!"

"Okay, I can use the headband and fire ring if noone else needs them, and I should be able to stow anything there that isn't wanted. Any other takers?"
Bathing, relaxing, etc.
TratainCurrent Spells AC 38 HP 253/253 Tuesday February 15th, 2011 6:34:03 PM
Tratain shrugs at Jass and says "We've done ok so far. We just have to find one more, find out where the one who teleported went to on the island, and find where the Draco-Lich got off to. I don't think he moved on his own so soon after us destroying him."
Tratain says "I'll hold onto one of those Gloves of Storing for a while. It'll make it easier for me to take out and put away my shield."
He finishes "Now we just need to figure out our plan of action once our little hide away goes away soon."
OOC: Since I am running the Module for a little while Tratain is going to be passive so you guys need to direct where the group goes and does for a bit.
Jass of Downs AC:28 CMD: 22 HP: 178/178 d10=4 ; Tuesday February 15th, 2011 9:34:49 PM
"Well, it sounds like we either grope around blindly, visit the likely hiding spots for the lichs, or magically determine where the Gems or lichs are." Jass holds up three fingers.
"I don't like groping blindly, so let's look at the other two options, shall we?"
"For magical detection: I can send out some Prying Eyes to look and report and we may get some information that way. The only other thing I can think of is to Contact Other Plane with my Limited Wish capabilities."
"For likely places: who has a map of this flying island? Mark off where we've been and we can determine where we still need to go."
Jass holds two hands for the two options, weighing them up and down and waits for some of the others to determine what they are going to try.
"Oh, and are we going to teleport somewhere from here or are we going to go through the dispel magic trap? Makes a difference on when we cast buff spells, eh?"
Dwight hp 218/218, ac 33/25/34)) Wednesday February 16th, 2011 6:38:33 AM
"As for detection, we had tried several things. Echlin's innate detection ability seemed to be the only thing that would detect them. Detect Magic certainly didn't work."
Dwight provides a list of places the group has been, where Liches were fought and/or killed as well as what's left to explore.

Tha dread lords dinna like working with each except when commanded by tha Dread. They have tha politics, and tha maneuvering. If they had been more cohesive, they coulda made a stand together afta the first fell."
Vedik spends the rest of the night thinking about Liches, Dread Lords and the Dread itself, hoping to remember something about their nature that may be helpful in the battle to come.

Back to Work - ADM Joe Wednesday February 16th, 2011 8:55:37 PM
The Group gets a full nights rest and continues to make plans as for thier future moves. The Items that are useful to the group are handed out. (Lets list who is getting what just in case those items are needed.)
Vedik spends time thinking about Liches and remembers quite a bit about them and thier weaknesses, but nothing specific about the Dread Lords themselves. All he remembers about the Dread is no one besides the 8 Dread Lords has ever made contact with it and lived to tell the tale.
Dwight lists where the group has been on the Island already. Part of the Castle has been explored, All the buildings of note outside the Main castle have also been explored.
After 24 Hours in the Mansion have passed the group finds itself deposited back in the room where they activated the Teurci Time capsule. Only a few seconds has passed in the Wold while the Group has had a full 24 hours to rest and relax.

HHH gets: Cloak Resistance +4
.............
"The information is useful", acknowledges Jass, "and slaying such a powerful undead threat is needful. I'm glad the Crimson Shields are here to help out."
Then the magical mansion fades away.
"I see three ways out", Jass tells the others. "One: we go back the way we came, getting attacked by the Greater Dispel Magic trap, and wade through the undead swarm-horde before we find any liches."
"Two: we drop out the hole below, possibly getting attacked by the trap and then flying up and around to the top of the island and make another go at the castle. Or..."
"Three: We Teleport or Dim Door to the battlements of the castle and start taking it apart from top to bottom." He twirls the three teleport scrolls about his hands as he speaks.
Jass is going to wait to cast any buffing spells pending which direction the heroes are going to go.

The party decides on their plan and executes it. Once the Party has cast all the spells they desire Jass and Vedik both use a teleport scroll (Unless I'm told otherwise) and everyone finds themselves on the battlements.
The Group works their way down through the castle retracing their steps. After about 10 minutes the group finds themselves almost back to the Main Foyer. The last place in the Castle the group has not gone is the North wing of the Mansion. The door leading to the North Wing is through the Main Foyer.

Jass will accept a Resist Fire spell from Tratain's wand. He can't do anything about a Stoneskin for anyone, but the sorcerer gets a bright idea and Casts a Detect Scrying spell. "For the next 24 hours, I'll know if anyone is detecting us using any type of divination spell", he tells the others. "That may affect our actions, no?"
Once at the door to the main foyer, Jass stops. "The last time we were in the Foyer, the undead horde came shuffling through. Any ideas on how to get from here to the door to the north wing? 3 or 4 Walls of force should be able to make ourselves a tunnel through the horde, not that I can do that." he adds.

Dwight wonders who has the wand of stoneskin, was it Echlin? oops if it was
With or without, Dwight recovers for the nausea feel he always gets when he teleports quickly, expecting danger. Luckily, he gets a bit of time to relax, well, relative relaxation, as the party troops through semi-familiar territory.
"The Main Foyer isss where we met thossse biting bugsss and other creepy crawly thingsss isssn't it," Dwight asks hoping his internal map is off and someone can correct him.

Vedik nods at Dwight. "Tha isa good thought, there may be a central controllin force, something like a heart, or a queen, tha needs ta be destroyed in order ta stop tha swarm. I'd like ta avoid it if possible, it's not worth spending resources on right now. We ave bigger fish ta fry."

Jass waits to see if there are any scrying devices on the Gray Knights or Crimson Shields before taking one of Monthor's shoulders and giving a tug. "Waitaminute. If we go wading in on the undead horde, we'll waste a lot of assets, and I don't know if we'd win. Unless we find a brain that controls the whole thing, we'd be striking at a continuously regenerating being. No Win Situation."
Jass ponders and comes up with a solution. "Using Limited Wish, I can create a Passwall spell on the roof of the North Wing. That will let us drop in on whatever is hiding there!"

Slipping by the Horde - ADM Joe Thursday February 24th, 2011 8:51:41 PM
The Group approaches the Main Foyer and options to get around the Horde are tossed around.
Tratain casts Hide from undead and when the Group is ready he goes to test his theory that it will allow the group to slip through to the North door.
He enters the Foyer and the Undead Horde mills around, randomly wandering here and there throughout the room. Tratain is able to make it to the Door by deftly avoiding the Horde, as it makes no move to avoid what it can't detect. He opens the door and enters and waves for the group to follow.

Dwight smiles realizing that is the same technique they had used to fly into the mansion to begin with. Still, he doesn't waste anytime looking around the Main Foyer, no need to test fate and find another dispel magic region.
Once through the door, Dwight looks around the room/hall.

The Group manages to make it past the Horde unscathed with just a few close close by Mac being so much larger than the others.
The Group finds themselves in a smallish room, about 30 feet across and 15 feet wide with a set of double doors at the far end.
The Room was lavish to the extreme, plush carpets on the floor, Golden Statues on display, and Paintings on the wall. Everything is rotting and decomposing now, dust and dirt cover everything.

The Room Beyond - ADM Joe Tuesday March 8th, 2011 10:48:20 PM
The Knights prepare for combat. Jass Casts haste on the Group. Vedik casts his Elemental summoning and the room is suddenly very crowded. Then Dwight Flings open the door.
In the room beyond the group first sees 4 skeletons all wearing full plate armor. Wielding Bastard swords and shields. When the door opens they all set in a guard position.
Behind them is what has to be the Lich. At its feet is an old woman, bound hand and foot sobbing on the floor. When the door opens the Lich casts its readied spells.
Between The skeletons and the Lich a fiendish creature appears. Great bat wings and four arms dominate the oily black furred body. A Hyenas head with goats eyes that are ablaze with hate stare out. The hands end in bird talons. A great viper is in place of a tail and steam whaffs from its pours shrouding it in mist. Then the creature and the skeletons all appear to be moving faster.
All who see the Pariah must make a Will Save DC 35 or attack it in place of anything else. You are not forced to attack, but if you choose to attack and fail the save it must be your target.

The elemental leaps through the doorway, and hones in on the Pariah as well. Having to squeeze through the door, leaves it no time for a full charge, so it flies to within range of the Pariah and reaches over the skeleton guards with his long limbs.
Vedik follows behind the Elemental. He is able to shrug off the lure of attacking the Pariah, and for a moment contemplates attacking the Lich. All thoughts of that end when he sees the bound woman.

Mac waits to be teleported when Monthor gives the word, but he seems to be focused on the Pariah right now.
Jass turns incorporal and moves thorugh the wall and is also appalled by the site of the Pariah.
Monthor gives the code word and He, Tratain and Mac are all teleported up near the Lich.
Dwight searches his memories for any information regarding this creature but can't come up with anything, that lack of knowledge however does not stop two of his arrows from connecting with the Monster.
Belkior takes advantage of his cover to activate his bead of Karma.
Vedik orders his Lightning Elemental towards the Pariah and it swings at it but the creature blocks the attack. Vedik then casts a wall of force to separate the Lich from the Old woman.
Tratain Takes a step towards M'ri and Lashes out with his sword and Manages to connect three times. Upon each impact though the old woman on the ground screams in Pain and clutches her body in the exact locations the protectors sword has struck!
The Skeletons having a great big target right next to them go to work. Skeletons 3 and 4 chop away and the Huge Elemental. (S3 Hits ACs 38,32,46 for 26, 26, 22 Damage. S4 Hits ACs 42,45,37 for 29,27,31 Damage)
Skeletons 1 and 2 drop back next to the Pariah when the big elemental goes down.
The Pariah roars and Mac and brings down both of its talons together trying to smash the Minotaur into the ground but Mac just manages to slip out of the way.
The Lich cackles madly at those closest to her and is gone in an instant (Quickened Dimension Door) and appears on the other side of the Wall. She then casts another spell and Vedik disappears.

Dwight sees Vedik disappear, and then the Lich. He wishes it was a wizard thing, and continues his focus on the Pariah (or skeletons if its fallen) knowing that only a delay presented as Vedik returns.
Dwight then looks behind hoping the Lich has not re-appeared behind them.

Vedik reappears out of the Maze spell just a few seconds after he entered.
The Rest of the nights all combine their attacks and slay the Pariah. Mac's and Monthor slash at it. Dwights arrows mostly find their mark in its tough hide, Jass's Chain lightning electrifies it and arcs off into the skeletons. It howls in rage as it is sent back to wherever it was summoned from.
Belkiors Holy smite strikes the Skeletons and the Lich. Once again, the Lich seems unfazed by the attack and at the instant the spell struck it the old woman writhes on the ground and screams in pain.
Skeleton 1 Takes a 5 foot step towards Mac and attempts to hit him with its Bastard sword. Striking the Minotaur three times. Once a Critical for 44 Damage, 23 Damage and 21 Damage.
Skeleton 2 moves in a strikes at Mac as well but misses him.
Skeleton 3 takes a step towards Monthor and attacks the dwarf three times and only connects once for 20 damage.
Skeleton 4 triece to Dice up Mac as well and hits him for 26 damage.
M'ri still doesn't look worried and summons another creature from the Abyss. A Nalfeshnee appears in the Back of the room and Moves towards those in the Back. It tries to take a bite out of Jass but barely misses the sorcerer. A strange light begins to swirl around it.
She then casts a Quickened Disintigrate at Vedik. 124 Damage Fort save DC 30 for 20 Damage.

Jass narrows his black eyes and uses his extensive knowledge to determine the spell that links M'ri with the woman. He shouts out his discovery to the others and adds "If we break or disrupt the link, we should be able to save the woman and deal with the lich, the evil git!"
And then the incorporal sorcerer has another problem on his hands. Jass isn't too worried about the demon as he is unlikely to be hurt in his current form. Nonetheless, he determines he should do something about the summoning spell.
Casting defensively to avoid an opening, he casts a targeted Greater Dispel Magic on the demon, Jass seeks to dispel the summoning and return it to the Lands of Unrest.

OOC: I'm not seeing why Skeletons #2 and #4 didn't provoke AoOs getting close enough to Mac to attack. Just in case, the AoOs are S2:[38|58] and S4:[43|58]. +-+-+-+-+ "I'm going to..." Mac is all ready to focus on the Lich and leave the bones for Tratain and Monthor, but Jass' call causes a moments pause. Unable to determine how this magic works, he leaves it in the hands of the more magically inclined and instead makes a flurry of swings at the Lich and skeletons.

OOC: Question -- I assume the Old Woman looks normal (not undead). Would it be considered evil to fire an arrow at her? My thought is that pain is switched between the two, or even that they have a image swap, so the Lich is really the woman and the woman the Lich. I'm willing to fire on the woman provided it's not an evil act. If I hit the woman, and the lich figure reacts then my thoughts are correct. Course if I hit the woman, and it kills her, I may have an emotional break-down. -- posted this to Private DM on Sat. then realized you likely can't see it as ADM.
Dwight, seeing the demon appear in front of him and then disappear, focuses his attention further out. The skeletons are busy, so Dwight tries to picture together the evil magicks between the woman and Lich. Seeing that damage to the Lich causes the woman pain, he aims at the woman hoping the opposite is true. (OOC: see note above, if the first arrow doesn't have the desired effect -- hurting the Lich, -- then remaining arrows go to skeletons.)
OOC: Course if the demon remains, it's all mute as I have not shot, and the demon gets the attacks.
