"If talking to the lich can work, I'm a convincing speaker", Jass volunteers. "At the least, it should point us to where the other liches are. And if it doesn't, we can always kill him and take his Soul Gem."
Jass waits for Mac, Monthor, and Tratain to lead and strides confidently after them, his dead eyes focused to confront this "friendly" lich.

Inside Parthanon Monday April 11th, 2011 9:00:21 PM
The group moves and ascends the steps unmolested and passes through the misty veil and into the Parthanon. 4 great bronze braziers glow with a dull yellow and green sick smoke. Suspended in midair about 30' up and spaced evenly down the center of the great structure. To the north stands the lich self identified as Bas Anut 100' away. About 50' stand 4 large skeletal creatures. next to Anut stand two more. At the opposite end in the south stands the lich the group was fighting not so long ago, also 100' away and another cadre of 4 large skeletons stand between the group and him. He, unlike Bas Anut, does not have any personal skeletal guard. Within the Parthanon, the outside world is plain as the bright day, but the sweet song that Plyf sings, cannot be heard. However other, more disturbing sounds do drift in on the wind. The distant sound of cracking bone and ripping flesh. Oily feathers beating hard against the wind. The slow creaking of rope pulled tight over a dead piece of wood.
Nothing within moves, it is apparently up to one of the living to act first.

Dwight expects a portion of this to be an illusion, but isn't going to just stand and do nothing. He loads his bow, and moves 10' to the side of the large parthanon awaiting a word of caution from his comrades who might identify the trap/illusion.
If nothing is said suggesting he not (and he waits as he slides over loading his bow), he fires before the giant vulture arrives. He aims at the Lich the group fought recently, unsure if he is actually there.
(OOC: I'm guessing only one attack -- as I need to know what happens before I fire again.)

Jass doesn't hesitate, the plans of the encounter already identified. He strides maybe 10 feet beyond Mac, Monthor and the others, and speaks, pitching his voice to be heard throughout the Parthenon.
"You know our mission and you know what we intend to do. The last three Soul Gems are with you two, the only two liches left. Surrender yours and the Dracolich's Soul Gems, or we will fight you for it."
Jass' black eyes watch the two liches carefully, assessing his use of diplomacy and intimidation equally. Any information the dead spellcasters may reveal could be used by the heroes...

Bas' Anut straightens at Jass's words. "It is as you say." His words come slow and measured. "Surely there could be combat between us, to determine who will control the Soul Gems. But that will likely get neither of us what we so desire."
Bas' Anut remains silent for a few moments before continuing. "I must congratulate you all. You have done well, and even arrived here quicker than expected. But, Gray Knights, it is time for you engage in your final mission. Turn over all of the gems to me, that I might open the portal to the Dread Master, that you may end the threat to your lands."
Bas' Anut stands in a fixed position awaiting your response showing no aggression.
Jass of Downs AC:27 CMD: 22 HP: 197/178 Wednesday April 13th, 2011 11:22:33 PM
Jass smiles a grim grin, and responds matter-of-factly. "I see you take me for a fool. You know we are the heroes and you are not to be trusted. We will do what we say while you will stab us in the back at first opportunity. We know this and you know this and based on us both knowing, we should be able to both get what we want."
Jass begins holding up fingers, counting off points. "One, we want to kill the Dread and need to summon it with the eight Soul Gems to get to him. Therefore WE need all eight.
"Two, you and Pindar there want to survive this day, and the only way you will do that is if you give us all three remaining Soul Gems and then run. Therefore, YOU don't need any of them.
"Three..." and Jass pauses as if considering and then continues on. "Nope, there isn't a three. You give us the gems or you die. I think I'll give you 12 seconds to decide."

Dwight holds his bow in place seeing this isn't sounding as good as he had hoped. Still he awaits, though he waits knowing the counter-argument as he thinks it in his head -- "Ah, but having all eight is not enough to summon the Lord, you must know the ritual."
Dwight waits for it to be said...

As the others have spoken, Jass lets the conversation go where it may, as if aloof to all of the bargaining, and keeps his original position.... gems or die.
In the meantime, he studies Bas'Anut, watching to see if he is lying about wanting to open the portal for the Dread. (previously rolled Sense Motive; can Jass determine what Bas is thinking?)

Dwight listens to the chat, feeling the Lich is at least in part telling the truth -- he certainly doesn't want to be under the Dread Lord anymore. Still, trust is beyond an option from Dwight's perspective.
Still he waits to see what is offered.
DM Post Monday April 18th, 2011 4:27:49 PM "Do you think I would make an offer that I could not complete? Do not worry about what must be done for me to uphold my end of the bargain. If I say it shall be done, it shall be done. Only worry what should happen should you not uphold your end of any bargain we strike. What benefits indeed. Know that it will be, in no way, malicious and will assist you, not hinder you."
Jass listens for insights into Ba'Anut's speak. He speaks in a very methodical manner, only divulging what information he wants the Gray Knights to know. You find nothing that he says to seem untruthful.

there are two liches in the room. One is Bas'Anut, the one we made a psudo bargain with. The other is the one that got away. That one is at the other end of the room, presumably watching us talk about his dealth?

"Show us your 3 Soul Gems, and we'll show you ours." states Jass. The sorcerer is confident that Vedik or others who have True Seeing can verify whether any gems Bas/Anut shows the group are indeed real.
He also keeps an eye on the other lich, the one that got away. Is it worth slaying the Dread and allowing two lesser but still powerful liches free to work thier will? Jass shrugs. Yes, yes it is.

DM Post Tuesday April 19th, 2011 3:08:57 PM OOC: No, the first part of the response was an ambigious response to the Soul Gem. When B'A said, "Do you think I would make an offer that I could not complete? Do not worry about what must be done for me to uphold my end of the bargain." he was referring to the Soul Gems. What that means is up for debate. I'm sorry that wasn't clear.[
Also, yes, there are two liches in the room, Bas' Anut and Pindar. It is obvious he is not happy about being here, but even more obvious he doesn't want to upset Bas' Anut. Anymore questions just let me know. IC post will come later tonight once I see if there are any more IC posts from you guys.

Jass looks at Monthor, Vedik, and the others. "I don't trust them", he says in a low voice, his dead black eyes a haunting reminder of what the sorcerer experienced as a ghost himself. "They are undead and filled with hatred and destructive energy. I say we kill them now and figure out how to use the Gems ourselves."
The sorcerer, however, doesn't make any move. It's not up to him to decide if the leaders take his advice or not. Jass waits for the decision of someone else.

Dwight wonders why Pindar doesn't speak up. As a general statement he comments on his lack of comment before the party makes a full commitment. "Okay, ssso we work with B'Anut, as ssstated, but what of the other? If he isss only adding to our risssk, perhapsss he ssshould be finished first!"
OOC: Dwight addressed Pindar last post, but did not receive a response.
"Ssso before we hand thessse gemsss over to you, letsss get an idea of what isss going to happen and what we will sssee. Potential weaknessssssesss, particular ssstrengthsss etc. of thisss Dread Lord. You perform sssome ritual and...."

Bas' Anut as if to set minds at ease, pulls out the three gems and holds them in the palms of his bony hands. A little magic pulses through his hands and the gems levitate out of his hands so that all three of them can be clearly seen.

At the command of come Pindar disappears... or rather, the image of him does. After a few seconds you see him floating down from behind the group. "I hope you understand, it was nothing personnel, strictly business, I assure you." Pindar has a slight smile on what passes for his face.
After a few moments Bas' Anut and Pindar begin performing the ritual to open the portal. Pindar takes control of the levitation keeping the Soul Gems in the air, rotating in a clockwise manner as Bas' Anut begins drawing hexes, graces and other arcane symbols on the ground. They continue in this manner for several hours, neither pausing, aside from Bas' Anuts occasionaly vocal incantations as he draws another symbol upon the ground.
After nearly three hours Bas' Anut looks to the group. "It is time, the portal shall soon be opened. Steel yourself for what you shall face inside. I will be honest, the odds of your success are slight indead. But as I said before, I will give you a boon if you desire. I also understand if you do not wish any more of my assistance."
Bas' Anut seems genuinely concerned as he speaks. He obviously wants little more than to be rid of the Dread Lord.
OOC: If you have any last minute things you need to take care of, castings etc, feel free to do them. Likewise if you have anymore questions ask them, otherwise he will continue withe ritual.

As the ritual is being prepared, Dwight offers some thoughts (and prayers) to Ebryron. Not a typical action for him, but Dwight feels this is his last battle and wishes to call in all his outstanding favors.
Also, can we get a map. I'm thinking we can strategically place ourselves to try to avoid some of the area effect spells.

Vedik casts several spells, placing the shortest durations last. He summons the Air Elementals, and finally the Trumpet Archons.
He gives the summons the following instructions. "Champions of the planes. Ignore these liches, a greater threat stands before us. Beyond this portal is the Dread himself. I have called you to aid us in this fight. Elementals, disrupt any minions the Dread has with him. Archons, keep us healed, and be sure your mass heal spells attempt to harm the Dread as well. Do not hesitate, and thank you for helping us shoulder this burden."
He then turns to the group.
"I am ready."
OOC: Several of the spells are redundant, this is intentional. Three hastes means all three have to be dispelled to loose the effect.

The Portal is Opened Monday April 25th, 2011 11:14:20 AM
Upon seeing the group prepared and ready, Bas'Anut contiunes to summon the portal. Bas'Anut approaches Pindar, who is still standing, looking up, with all eight Soul Gems levitating and slow circling in the air. Bas'Anut places both hands on either side of Pindar's head. As he does, electical currents begin pulsing from and through Pindar as he begins to scream. Bas'Anut backs away as Pindar's body begins to crumble to dust and is pulled into the circle of Soul Gems which begins to take a form as one.
The gate portal begins to come together, as the Soul Gems ripple across the air in front of the Knights. A sphere begins to form. It is a shimmering sphere of pale green and yellow, like the phlem of some creature that starts to ooze forth from tiny developing fissures in the sphere. The stench of rotting meat in the sun and baterial infection assails the nostrils and brings water to everyone's eyes. Whatever is beyond the portal, is is apparent that it will not simply open wide and that force will be needed to push through the sickness that lies in your path.
Bas'Anut backs away, a self satisfying smile upon his face. "It appears someone will have to force their way through to make a hole large enough for the others to pass."

Mac lines up behind Monthor. Turning back to Dwight he asks, "If there is room to move on the other side, can I have the other Enlarge?"
Something has the taur ill at ease. Floating about the skies of the Southern Continent is one thing, but leaving for who knows where with Bas'Anut as a doorman...? He strongly suspects the portal will be closing tight behind them, so surviving and defeating the Dread Lord will be the first priority, but he suspects there will be considerably more.
The Portal is Opened Thursday April 28th, 2011 6:39:17 AM
The first elemental is able to push his way through the ooze and pus of the portal and create a small hole, just large enough for the second elemental to push through. Anyone who hurries can get through the portal before it closes, but it only stays open for about 6 seconds before closing up as it was before. It was obvious the elemental took quite a bit of damage and everyone fills as if they are choking and nauseous as they pass through the portal.
Fortitude Saves from all creatures passing through the portal.
If you choose not to pass through the portal with everyone else, I need to know that as well.

Dwight watches as other rush into the portal. He glances at B'Anut wondering how bad this is going to be entering into a unknown plane. Unsure of the results, Dwight's committed to aiding the gray knight and friends.

Monthor grabs hold of Mac and Jass and hopes that Tratain will catch on and grab hold. Monthor then teleports through the portal opening thirty feet straight ahead.

Into the Dread Thursday April 28th, 2011 9:43:27 PM
Beyond the puss and hanging rotten meat of the portal lies a broken and charred expanse of earth. Stretching to the infinite in all directions under a brown and black sky so as to completely conceal the horizon. All about is the stagnant brown and brackish earth. A land where it seems as if nothing will ever change, nothing matters and to exist as life is pointless. Here you are beyond time, here you are lost and here you are trapped. Love, Hate, honor, Duty, loyalty, death, pain, fear and all else that makes up a mortal life are gone. Stripped away by this land of apathy.
There are no markers, nothing to distinguish direction and no reason to move in any direction. This side of the portal is no where to be seen.
When you left, Bas'Anut looked as if he truly hopes you succeeds.
