Of course, walking on walls is all good fun, but then a thought strikes him which he cannot avoid sharing. "For just a moment, can everyone PLEASE consider what would happen if THIS power broke free and ran amok into the Wold?! Is this why this place is "protected"?"
Question of Gravity Sunday June 28th, 2015 9:31:34 AM
With Carver on the wall, at least to everyone else's perception, things get even more confusing. The Centaur comes up with an idea, everyone head down the First Passage to the Second Room and then continue as he did down the Second Passage back to the Main Room. Cameron and Crosseye put their armor back on and quickly perform an experiment. Carver moves across his floor so the Cameron is standing next to him, albeit on the wall to the centaur. The two reach out with firm grips and Carver pulls Cameron over. To Cameron, though, he is still being pulled to what his body considers the floor. If Carver lets go, he falls and so Cameron hops back to the others. Osul brings up a couple issues to his mind. One, experimenting with the mobius loops that Atlas is holding. Do things change if he only holds one? Second the frightening thought that what thy are witnessing here could spread. Is that what Asads is protecting the Wold from and why this location is important. Atlas remains with Asads and can hear the reports being shouted down the corridor to him
The question now is, does everyone head down the Hall of Taurs aka First Passage. Or does the group want to experiment with the Mobius Strips Atlas has. Asads, still seems content to remain in the Second Room with Mobius Strips. It is also very clear that Asads does not intend to let you remove the Mobius Strips from that room
In the Second Room with the Guardian are the following; Atlas In the Second passage 90' from the Guardian: Zee In the Main Room 140' from the Guardian; Walter and Osul, Mack, Cameron, Crosseye, In the Main Room on the Second Wall; Carver
All Passages are 180' and 10' wide Main Room is 60x60 Second Room is 40x40
Mack (Eric R) AC: 15 (T 15 FF 12), CMD: 11; HP 17/18 Sunday June 28th, 2015 8:56:08 PM "If Asads doesn't want us to move the Mobius Strips from that room, I say we split them up, and run 2 different directions with them." :)
"Or, Carver could hold a rope and we could all follow him along and see where that goes. That doesn't seem as fun, though."
Cameron (David F) AC 20 (T 14, FF 17) CMD 13 HP 15/16 Character Sheet Sunday June 28th, 2015 10:34:09 PM " If, or when we finally end up defying Asads there will be a fight. He will do his job and strike down anyone that he can reach. We will lose people. On that note, when we decide to do it, we need to all be on the same page, and we will need to put him down. I would prefer to not do that until we know what we are going to do, lets explore as far as we can first." Cameron looks at the taur passage. " So, Get ready if you are coming along, I am about to follow Carver's lead and head around the structure and up the wall. It would be dumb for us to each do it separately and each get blown up, so lets get ready to follow me once I set off the trap." Cameron casts a blessing from Jancassis the Huntress on himself and feels his legs get stronger. He then heads down the Taur passage, his butt clenching as he crosses the threshold that should set off the trap.

Atlas sees everyone running down the hallway and past him down the other hallway. He catches their mumbling as they go past and he decides to follow them.
"Asads, I'm going to set these down and go with the group. Do me a favor and let everything be. Also, feel free to head back down that other tunnel there. It will be interesting to see you in your place while we're walking on the walls. Do you know how that works? Anything you can tell me about the wall walking and stuff before I go?"
Atlas waits to hear what Asads has to say then heads down the other tunnel with the rest of the group. UNLESS Asads says that he's going to put the spheres back, then he stays and waits for the group to report back.

Zee decides to join Cameron in his stupid plan, she is not sure what to do, but not getting involved with a trap more than once sounds good.
Carver (John C) AC 16, AC 18 with shield, CMB 6, CMD 17, HP 21/21 Character Sheet Monday June 29th, 2015 9:28:58 PM
Carver looks at Atlas, "Leaving them there, defeats the purpose of coming through the tunnel and hoping to end up on the wall like I am. That door over or up there, will require those things one way or the other, so don't leave them, just hand them to me instead of putting them on the floor."
Asads stand 2d6=11 ; Monday June 29th, 2015 10:31:31 PM
A plan is basically formed, or at least a path of movement. To get to Carver, the group will need to travel down the First Passage called the Hall of the Taurs, to the Second Room and through the Second Passage. Carver is the only one who has taken this route and when he emerged, it was upon the wall, making the new doorway easily accessible.
Before Cameron heads into the Hall of the Taurs, Mack gives the Trap another try and is able to temporarily disarm it. Everyone knows it will reset soon and thus the party heads down the 180' hall to the Second Room and arrives safely
Asads and Atlas are there waiting. Atlas speaks of leaving the Mobius Strips with Asads while the party explores, but the trap laden cube and alien nature of the place with the assurance of needing the strips to access the CnC Asads eluded to earlier the party is going to need to take them and Asads is going to try and stop them
Osul Crosseye and Atlas all still want to discover a peaceful resolution, to not enter an engagement with the Guardian Asads.
Asads answers Atlas in the same cool detached voice, I'm afraid I cannot permit you to continue. It has become clear this group endangers this location. Asads draws his weapon, but does not advance
In the Second Room with the Guardian are the following; Atlas, Walter and Osul, Mack, Cameron, Crosseye and Zee In the Main Room on the Second Wall; Carver
All Passages are 180' and 10' wide Main Room is 60x60 Second Room is 40x40

Asads, let us pass." Cameron steps forward (to O/7) and pulling his whip along the way, attempts to disarm Asads. Beats CMD of 16 to disarm Asads.

Cameron moves forward and strikes with his whip. It cracks against the steel gauntlet of Asad, failing to disarm him. Atlas draws his sword and steps forward, his heart not in this particular fight. Osul offers some advice that Asads might be like many other things here, a trap. He casts a spell, designed to subdue and not kill. A sudden blast of wind and rain, pours about Asads Mack starts cautiously circling to Asads left Yes the smaller combat map is 5' squares and teh letters and number coordinates are highlighted in Blue and Purple Carver draws his sword and makes haste down the Second Passage. As he enters it, an electrical trap detonates about him [Reflex DC 15 Dmg 6 or 3] Zee casts Touch of Destiny on Cameron
Asads strikes at Atlas, nearly striking the young fighter were it not for the buffeting rain and winds of Osul's spell [Hit AC 19 Dmg miss...]

Atlas tries to take advantage of Asads' distraction and attacks again with his sword. The sounds and feel of battle are starting to take over for him and his strike is more composed this time, but not yet exactly where it needs to be.

(reflex save failed...) Carver once again lays hands on himself as a swift action, healing 6 points damage. Carver again tries to slash with his sword, but misses, and then adds a couple kicks with his hooves as an almost after thought, but misses as well.

Cameron Casts Bless and the spell takes affect for the entire party Walter slashes and slams Asads with scimitar and shield Mack, bleeding heavily, makes a couple strikes towards Asads, but does not land any as he is more concerned with getting out of sword range. Mack backs off. Carver heals himself again and calls for the team to shift to the right to and attacks with everything he can bring to bear. Unfortunately, none of the attacks get past Asads defenses. Osul moves to Mack and heals him with Cure Light Wounds CLW Crosseye presses his attack, but Asads parries the blow with deft precision.

Thinking to myself how I can't wait to pick up some Druid skills, so I can help in the healing department... if nothing else by being able to use that wand.
I look for ways in which I can assist, but if everyone is shifting over, there doesn't appear to be much I can do at the moment.
Hoping I don't need to take anyone's spot, I prepare to switch in if someone else needs to fall back. I ready the goblin short bow, in the chance that I can maybe take a short or 2 while I'm waiting. Can't hurt.... TOO much. ;)

Cameron looks at the combat from the back and sees some good in Asads shift. " Zee, get against the wall so that Carver can use the middle of the room to charge." " Carver, drop the blade and use your lance over the top. Swing to the middle of the room and charge him while Zee and I get outta the way." " Walter, Hold on buddy, I'm comin'." Cameron then launches into a complex series of maneuvers. First he tries to trip Asads. Then he scampers across the line where he is telling Carver to go. Trip beats CMD 15, which is a fail Cameron moves to K/10

Ok I am going to try this again but with more focus we need to hit him or he will hurt us all bad. With that I take "Little Mack" back again to strike the Guardain. The axe lands this time (hit AC 24) but not hurting him much (damage 7). But that is better and a start.

Mack keeps in tight providing Flanking for Walter with his bow in hand. Though with Asads move up on him last round, firing a bow could be dangerous Walter attacks, but cannot overcome the Guardians armor and parrying blade Cameron calls out a shift for Carver to be able to charge in with a lance and snaps his whip at Asads to no effect Zee casts a spell that impacts Asads. Spell please Carver drops his sword and performs a charge attack like only a centaur can. Ending with the ramming of his lance into Asads Atlas attacks but misses Osul moves around to heal Walter CLW 5 HP Crosseye swings and this time penetrates Asads defenses with 'Little Mack'
Asads steps forward and right at Zee, removing himself from the flanking move for a moment. It also closes teh gap to Carver, rendering the lance ineffective for the moment and Asads makes a quick thrust into Carver
The blades strikes hard into his torso. [Attack Carver Hit AC 27 Dmg 13]

Carver takes a 5' step backwards, 'The Idea was to keep him boxed in, now I can't continue to charge him with him hammering away at me. I'm stepping back, please box him in so I can begin charging him again and doing real damage." As he takes a step back, he lays hands on himself again, healing only some of the damage he just took.

OOC Wands, like potions, are minimum caster level to cast the spell, unless otherwise noted. So it is a d8+1 Graham. I think it will be safe to channel around this guy.

Walter feels the blade go through him cleanly. As it withdraws he feels a gout of blood leave his body after it. Cameron's channeling seals the wound, but there is still extensive internal damage. " I gotta move out of here. I can't take that again. Someone get him off of me." As he backs away, Walter again slashes with his scimitar and smashes with his shield. The scimitar strikes home.

OOC OK, I work until 11pm tonight so I may not have posts in by midnight. I moved Carver on the map to where he wanted to go, remember he is using a lance, giving him reach. Is it unrealistic he can charge up behind you guys and still hit the guardian? Kinda,Yes. Is it possible within the game mechanics? Also, Yes. If we can somehow avoid getting someone nearly killed for a round, which is unlikely due to his massive (+12 wow) bonus to hit and his equally massive (+7) damage,We might be OK. I am starting to do math and think there is almost no chance to disarm him, or trip him. Once I am out of Channeling I may scoop up the "handles" and make an end run for the other room to see if they can shut him down. I don't know, other than us scoring massive hits for boat loads of damage I think that might be our only prayer of beating him. 77 Number for my own use

Walter staggers as Asads hits him yet again. He looks around and sees that if he falters Asads will either get to the healers or be able to stop Carver from using the handles to maybe end this without killing the guardian.

Atlas swings again, but misses again. He is heartened with the previous strike that this creature can be harmed with his blade, but another failed attempt has his anger rising again. Seeing Walter take this beating is not helping. In an attempt to help Walter he shouts at Asads, "Asads! You stupid mechanical wizards toy, swing that sword at me if you dare!"

Now that I have some room again I try strike Asada with "Little Mack"! But I is I guess I was just ready enough this time. ( miss hit AC 10) The Next one will be a different story. " Don't worry Atlas you will get him! I know it! You are well skilled enough too!" I encourage Atlas.
OoC sorry about yesterday but had a personal/family issue come I need to deal with. I will try. It to miss any more or much.
Asads stand Round 8 d20+12=20 ; d8+7=14 ; Thursday July 9th, 2015 10:50:45 PM
Carver tries another charge, but Asads slips past the lance. He calls out about the possible plan of simply running off with the mobius strips. Cameron answers, believing Carver should make the run. He is the fastest after all. The cleric then channels healing magic into the room [All PC's Heal 2 HP] Walter is hurting bad, but what else could be done. To pull back would leave a much more vulnerable member of the group exposed. He presses on, unfortunately with the same results Zee hits Asads with another Magic Missile Atlas yells at Asads to leave attack him as he tries to past the heavily armored Guardian without success. Osul uses the curing wand on Walter, hoping to keep him propped up and in the fight Heal Walter 5HP Mack strikes hard in what should be a vulnerable location, but Asads seems to not even notice. Crosseye comes in with 'Little Mack' but teh blow goes wide to Asads right side
Asads continues his relentless assault against Walter. Blood pours from the man as his endurance is taxed and Asads seems limitless. The sword runs the young man through. [Attack Walter Hit AC 20 Dmg 14]
The gears within the armor whir with a slight hum. Asads has said nothing since the engagement began, no cries of pain and grunts of fatigue.
The Mobius strips are lying on the near the center of the chamber. Dropped in favor of weapons when all of this began
OoC, I have noted all critical hits. Yes Mack when flanking you can make precision damage against most foes.

Cameron gasps as Walter drops, spraying blood everywhere. He turns to Carver and urges him on. " Go Carver, go! We will try and hold him, but I think he is going to make short work of us soon." Cameron channels again, having nothing else to staunch Walters wounds. Channel energy to heal 5 damage to all LIVING targets in the room

Walter feels the stabbing pain of Asads sword again, this time dropping him to the ground. Seconds later a wave f healing washes over him, reviving him, but leaving him weak as a kitten. If he tries to stand, he will get hit and likely killed. If he swings from prone, that small chance he had to hit will grow even smaller. Walter does the only thing he can, he plays dead and readies an attack in case Asads tries to move over him to get to the retreating form of Carver.
Hold action. If Asads tries to move through Walters space he will strike at him, from prone Attacking from prone with the Scimitar+2 flanking, -4 prone, +1 bless,+5 base = 9 miss

Zee also gasps as Walter falls. She realizes that she is now the stopper between Asads and Carver. She knows she can't stop him and his sword, so she backs away and sends another Magic Missile at Asads for 2 points of damage.

Carver drops his lance and shield, as he does so, "If this works, try and bring my gear, it's not much but it's all I got." He grabs the mobius strips from the middle of the room and then will make a mad dash down the hallway he was last down, hoping the weird effect happens again, if it doesn't, they are well and truly hosed......

He also wishes he had a better option than (eventually) exhausting the wand, but he gives that thought no voice. "We have to come up with a better option, 'cause this one isn't going to do it!"

Walter collapses unconscious from the last wound Cameron channels divine healing again. All PC's gain 5 HP Which awakens the now prone Walter. He yells for Carver to run with the mobius strips. Will that do anything? Unknown, though it might make Asads break from the current combat to pursue Carver Zee Strikes the Guardian with another Magic Missile Carver drops his weapons and moves to the center of the room and retrieves the two pieces of metal from the floor Osul wonders aloud if any know a reason Walter seems the subject of the assault as he uses the wand again. Heal Walter 9HP Walter remains prone, giving the Guardian a free attack borders on complete insanity. He readies to strike if Asads moves past him Atlas strikes Asads with a quick thrust Mack laughs at the little joke, being a halfling these things are funny after all. He attacks, but cannot land a solid blow. You have flanking with Walter. Center of you at K5 through Asads at K6 to Walter at K7
Asads does ignore Walter on the ground and shifts to look to be going directly after Carver. Cameron, however, is in the way. For the first time he speaks since the fighting began, I will not let you do that Carver Asads sword lashes out before the young cleric even realizes it is on the way.

Cameron grunts as the blade passes through him. He can not give ground, Carver needs to be able to get a head start. He must heal, or else bot he and Walter are lost. " That's how it's gonna be eh Asads?. I don't think you are going to like how this turns out, buddy. I take stuff like that to heart." Cameron once again lets his goddess's power pass through him, but this time a little bit stays with him. It moves his hand to his coat as he finishes channeling and drops the holy symbol back on it's chain. That hand reappears holding a dagger, which he heroically thrusts at Asads.

Having both items in hand, Carver takes off at a full gallop (maximum run speed, base move is 35')
As he is running, he intones a prayer, "Lord Gargul, I pray that this is the proper action, I also pray that you will watch over my friends who have given me a chance to find out if this is a good decision or not. They are in need of all the help that can be given, as the situation we are in means they are very near to the point of visiting your realm. Thank you for hearing you servant."

Atlas is frustrated at the way this battle is going. Up to this point it has caused him to lose focus, so he regathers his thoughts and watches the way that Asads is moving, thinking back to the last few strikes and defensive maneuvers he has made. There it is, a weakness. With the speed of a viper Atlas strikes at Asads sliding his blade under under the creature's sword arm and into it's torso. He can feel the gears and mechanisms inside breaking as the swords enters. As he pulls it from Asads' body he twists it to finish the job.

Seeing Atlas finally get a hit I feel inspired take back "Little Mack ", concentrate hard and SWING.(attack roll 7+1 =8). What a big swift that was. I need to just relax and let all my training and practice take over or is it just Atlas's luck move to me. I don't know but we need to finish this very soon or poeple are going to get seriously hurt.

OOC OK, so I provoke an AoO no matter what I do trying to get up. Got it. I was hoping I had overlooked someway to avoid that.

So, he does the only thing he can, strike from where he is.

As Asads pushes through the group, Atlas takes advantage of the situation, striking again where Asads is weak. His skill and luck are still true and he scores a deep, penetrating hit. "That should just about do it. His words are forceful, but he takes no delight in this. It is a job, he has people to protect, sometimes that means things get hurt in the process for the greater good.

I then take a clumsy shot at him with my goblin short bow that I still have in hand.

"Well, Carver must be doing something right if the Guardian is chasing after him at such great risk!..... " "or, the Guardian is trying to keep us all from blowing the whole place up and all dying." I say a little more quietly under my breath.

Walter twists his scimitar in the chin he has already found in Asads armor and hears more gears shriek as he does so.

Cameron drive his dagger upwards in another attempt to gain revenge for being struck. This time his dagger slips between the plates of Asads armor and he strikes true. He score minimal damage, but enough to settle the score. With little choice he tears down the hallway after Asads. coming up behind the guardian he strikes again, this time his dagger skips off of the guardian's plating. AoO hits AC 20 for 1 damage Normal attack hits AC 7, a miss. Cameron is in the hallway right behind Asads. ( remember, the hallway is in 10' squares)

That is protect him with all I have and with that I pull back "Little Mack" ( use feat "power attack" -1 attack roll +1 1/2 str mod for two handed weapon.

Asads Stand Combat Ended Thursday July 16th, 2015 6:44:28 PM
Asads moves through Walter and Atlas strikes, again sinking his weapon into the Guardian Mack lands what should be a good punch Walter twists his scimitar blade before releasing it to get up. His shield falls to the ground and he follows Asads into the hall while pulling out his bow Crosseye sweeps at Asads with his axe and catches only air. However, the man is not done yet and pursues the Guardian into the hall where this time his great axe strikes true. The Axe cleaves through the shoulder collar of Asads armor and comes to rest about halfway into his chest.
Asads falls forward with a deafening impact of metal on the stone floor
The Guardian lies face down where he fell, still tightly grasping his sword, but not moving in the slightest.
Carer need no longer run for it and so the party regroups about the fallen Guardian, Asads. Crosseye, Atlas and Mack express regret that there was no other viable outcome and indeed there could have only been one other, the death of the party. With the healing power of the wand and Jancassis, everyone survived.
Inspection shows that Asads is not dead, because he was never alive. The Armor he wears is unbuckled and reveals the body beneath. A clay and wax figure encasing a framework of metal. Asads face is featureless and alien without a nose or mouth. In place of eyes, are a pair of octagonal shaped diamonds. Two more, slightly larger diamonds, but also more roughly cut, are embedded in his chest. Between the diamonds in his chest are 2 parallel rods and seem to connect the gems. Detect Magic DM Assumption :) reveals Asads Long sword and Light Crossbow are both magical.
Freeing the long sword takes some tinkering as it was locked into the Guardians grip and not by the clumsy locking gauntlets of today, but through a complex series of wire and thin rods that sprang from the Guardians hand and a fixed to positions in the pommel and guard
DM Notes; Carver had to initially move through friendlies to get to the hall. My understanding is you cannot RUN if a square is occupied, even by friends.
Cameron (David F) AC 20 (T 14, FF 17) CMD 13 HP 12/16 Character Sheet Thursday July 16th, 2015 7:09:56 PM
The boots, armor, necklace, and belt of Asads had previously detected as magical, so Cameron removes them as well. Not being a scholar of magic, Cameron has no way to tell what they do if they are magical. He suggests removing the diamonds and any other parts of the construct that could be worth money as well. Now they are at an impasse. They are mostly depleted and some of them bear wounds. Should they rest again before moving on or should they press their luck, hoping for no more traps or opponents. Cameron would rather rest.

Carver returns to the group, before placing any of the mobius parts. His first actions is to regather his gear and replace it where it belongs, sword at his hip, lance in the holder along his flank and the shield on his arm. "I don't know anything about constructs and how they are made, but I agree that any superb hits any of us would have gotten did nothing special to it. From our training in the Fist, If I remember correctly, a target must be alive to be vulnerable to any hits like that, correct Cam?" If needed Carver will help remove any items from the guardians remains....

Atlas hefts the long sword and flips it around to feel the balance of the blade. "Anyone mind if I take this? I think I'm the only one that specializes in the long sword, but let me know if I'm wrong." Atlas steps back as the others attempt to take out the diamonds and other components. He doesn't want to seem greedy, so he does his best to not interject when he calculates the value of everything in his head. Goodness Asads, you're worth a fortune!

" If no one else wants this, I will take this nice light Xbow. I have want to try/have one? Yes Atlas you can have it as far as I am concern. I also agree we should all rest up and get a fresh start after that it might also clear our minds but where should we rest back in the main room or in one of the side ones?" I purpose this question to the others.

Resting and Recovery Monday July 20th, 2015 8:44:45 AM
The group makes a couple decisions, one of them to rest. The other is to gather what they can from Asads. Atlas takes the long sword, Crosseye takes the light crossbow. The diamonds are held onto by Mack, as are the rods. The rods themselves are very light weight, far lighter than their metallic appearance suggests they should be. Cameron takes the necklace, boots, belt and ring as well, though none of those items still detect as magic. All are well made, ornate in design and should fetch some money.
The topic comes up of trying to restore the Guardian. Cameron has magic that might Mend Asads. Should he try? Carver heals Cameron some of his wounds and the party sets a standard watch in the smaller room to recover. Time passes. In the neutral magically lit room and corridors in which the party finds themselves, time is something very easily lost track of. As biological organisms, the group has some advantages however. Hunger, thirst, the need for sleep all take their toll and eventually Cameron and Osul 'feel' the time is right to offer prayers and thanks and to commune with their patrons. Carver too, feels the passage to a new day as well
Party gains 2 HP for rest + whatever any characters wish to do. Long term care is not possible on yourself and you cannot give long term care and receive it at the same time
Side note....Carver it was pointed out I erred on your Run move. Only Difficult terrain or opponents or lack of a straight line prevent a Run Move. Allies do prevent Charge, which is where i likely confused the issue to myself
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 18; HP 21/21 Character Sheet Monday July 20th, 2015 11:28:48 AM
Atlas stretches and goes through his "morning" routine. Breakfast is short and cold, but he's in good spirits considering that they are all alive and he's got this new sword to play with. "Well, let's see what these mobius things do now. Carver, you want to lead the way to check out that other passageway?"
As he prepares to go he straps his old sword to his backpack and his new sword to his waist. He also takes the scabbard that Asads had to hold his sword.
ooc: I'll update my character sheet this week with weight and such.

I need to get this looked at latter, there is more to it, I know! In the morning I feel refreshed and start to help prepare a meal for everyone we do need to eat!

The Third Passage Tuesday July 21st, 2015 9:43:55 AM
The group is fully recovered. breakfast, being what it is without heat, is eaten and the everyone makes do. Cameron begins to Mend Asads and Osul offers assistance in the matter. Carver, however, questions that thought process on merits of intelligence. After about an hour, there is very little change in Asads. It would seem that while the mending spells will be able to repair the clay and wax composite that is Asads skin, it seems to have no affect on the metal frame and gearing underneath. There is little to be gained from working on the fallen Guardian, leaving the Second Passage to the main room.
The group makes there way down the corridor and like Carver discovered earlier, the party comes up the ramp to find themselves upon the wall. 40' away is the metal door that slid open when the Green and Yellow spheres were placed in the Second Room. In fact, it is the only way the group can tell they exited to the wall.
Mobius Strips in hand Atlas and the rest make the short walk and stand at the entrance to another ramp, identical to the last two. More High Woldian writing is masterfully etched here as well.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 18; HP 21/21 Character Sheet Tuesday July 21st, 2015 10:52:19 AM "Can anyone read that? Mack, can you check for traps? No sense in waiting around, after Mack checks for traps lets go. I'm guessing we'll be coming back to this room again shortly, but on the ceiling or another wall."
Atlas waits for anyone to respond to the question about the writing, and for Mack to check for traps. Once all that is taken care of, he enters the passage.
*If Mack finds a trap but cannot disarm it then Atlas has everyone back away before going through. Better for one person to get hurt than everyone.

"I am hoping I can only restore a few shades of the life that animated him, like I would with a weak healing spell on a fallen companion. But, it seems he has slipped beyond that, like a fallen companion moving on into the Woldsblood headed for the lands of rest. We could petition your god for his life, but since he was a soulless, animated, machine, and Gargul hates anything like him, I think he may just revoke all of our lives just for asking for such a blasphemous thing. So, we move on." "We should bring him with us though, can anyone carry Asads?" Cameron follows along and when Mack stops to look for traps he stands back, at least 30 feet from the door whether or not Mack finds a trap. Once someone has crossed without setting off a trap he follows along.

The Grand Sphere Wednesday July 22nd, 2015 9:39:11 AM
The group retreats to a safe distance and lets Mack examine the enttryway. Mack Finds no traps as he searches the entrance about the silver panel. A brief discussion is had about carrying Asads body, but it is quickly ruled out as impractical due to Asads sheer size and weight. The Mobius strips do not seem to go into any of the depressions that make up the High Woldian Glyphs etched into the wall and so the logical choice is to proceed forward and see what lies beyond.
The Passage shifts in construction formation from a 4 sided corridor to that of a tube. The walls, ceiling and floor all blend seamlessly together within 15' of entering the area. The passage is lit, though like everywhere else, there is no apparent source to the soft glow. The light is dimmer in here than in any of the other passages or rooms thus far.
The Passage continues for 120' where it opens into a massive spherically shaped room. In the center of this room, a full 60' away, is what appears to be an oval mirror without a frame. It simply hangs in the center of the sphere
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 18; HP 21/21 Character Sheet d20+3=15 ; Wednesday July 22nd, 2015 11:21:34 AM ooc: I'm assuming a spherical room with a mirror in the middle means it is like the inside of a ball with the mirror hanging in the middle, meaning that we cannot reach it and no matter where we go we will always be 60' away. Correct? This also means that gravity is altered to allow us to walk all the way around the sphere, or are we stuck at the bottom and only able to go up the sides a bit?
Atlas begins to walk around the sphere looking for a spot where he can see his reflection in the mirror. He keeps his eyes on the mirror the whole time, watching what it is reflecting to see if it is reflecting the spherical room they are in or if it is showing something else, maybe like it is a gateway to another location.
"Well, there has to be something with the mirror. I'm going to wander around and see what it shows me. Can someone look to see if there are any hidden doors or anything that might allow us to continue or maybe get to the mirror?"

I hope this doesn'r get us killed Cameron sighs and follows down the hallway. Then they find the rounded hallway. He stops and examines the workmanship. He notes that this passage is lit, and allows the light spell he has been recasting for days to fade. Perception 27 Is it stone? Metal? Something else? Moving on he comes to the spherical room and is in awe. It appears flawlessly round. How would a craftsman do that, without being able to stand on solid ground while doing it? He again examines the whole room, searching for secret doors like Atlas asked and for a place to put the mobius handles they found earlier. His whip is in one hand and the magical small shield on his other arm. Perception 28

The Grand Sphere Thursday July 23rd, 2015 10:01:03 AM
The party gives Mack a few moments to inspect the immediate vicinity for traps and upon finding none, the group enters. The party breaks up and begins to move about the spherical room. As some suspected, gravity seems to be relative to where one might be standing at any point. The mirror is more of a silver metallic disk and not an actual mirror and creates no reflections upon its surface that anyone can see. The surface of the spherical room is of the same as the rest of the complex seen thus far, a polished and perfectly smooth gray granite.
The subject of the beacon lightning comes. Is it still active? The party has been in the complex for at least 2 nights, with last night being after the guardian was destroyed. Unfortunately there is no window, only guessing at this point. As the group talks, Mack starts bounding about and what everyone notices is that it seems the halfling falls back to the surface he lept from a bit slowly. A little more force and he might not come back 'down' in this room.
The group as a whole is also able to confirm Carver's supposition. The 'mirror' appears to be a flat nearly 2 dimensional object from every angle the group observes it from and all at the same time
Mack (Eric R) AC: 15 (T 15 FF 12), CMD: 11; HP 18/18 Thursday July 23rd, 2015 12:18:34 PM
What happened to my peanut? If it seemed to bounce off harmlessly, I push myself off the floor with the plan of gently running into the "mirror".
Hmmm..... maybe I should have tied myself off first? ;)
Cameron (David F) AC 20 (T 14, FF 17) CMD 13 HP 16/16 Character Sheet Thursday July 23rd, 2015 1:00:07 PM
OOC As I read this there is no way to"run" into the mirror. The sphere is 120 feet across and the "mirror" is ]b]suspended[/b]in the middle of the room, like the yolk in an egg. The DM has said gravity is funny. I think if someone were "propeled" through the mirror it would act as a door. So as I see it, we either throw a halfling through it, or we string a rope across the sphere's diameter and climb up/down it to the mirror. there might be other choices but the rope is the best bet I see to get nonjumping folks out to the mirror. IC "Carver, give me the rope and break out those goblin tents we found, unless someone else has some loose rope. We need over 120 feet for this to work. We need to string a rope across the room so that we can 'climb' to the mirror in the middle. The problem I see is anchoring it." Cameron ties whatever rope they have together. As he does his mind works furiously on the anchoring issue. As he wonders how to accomplish what he is thinking of he looks down at his holy symbol as his hands reflexively grasp it. A double helix is very close to a mobius strip, except that it does not connect at the ends. What if the TWO of those were supposed to be the anchors to this puzzle. " Can I see those strips we found in the orbs please, I have an idea." Cameron takes one of the strips and places the stud on the back of it, the part they assumed went into a hole somewhere, against the 'floor' of the sphere, uttering a silent prayer that it sticks and becomes like a boat tie off that he can anchor the rope to.
A. If the tie off thing works, Cameron runs across the sphere and dos the same thing across the sphere to create a second tie off. He then strings the rope between the two tie offs with the help of the other, stronger members of the group.
B. If the tie offs don't work he still strings the the rope across the sphere with the help of the others and has two of them anchor the ends. He hopes that he and maybe someone strong like Carver, Atlas or Crosseye can climb out to the mirror where they can anchor the rope at the middle and aloow clombers to get there from the sphere.
Since there seems to be a feather fall effect on the room he climbs out again and again until he reaches the mirror, not fearing injury if he falls.

Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 18; HP 21/21 Character Sheet Thursday July 23rd, 2015 1:44:01 PM OOC: I believe Mack used the term "run" loosly, as he "pushed" himself off the floor with the hope of being able to reach the mirror since gravity seems to be less here. "run" was just a way to say that he doesn't want to slam into the mirror as he flies through the air. However, I'll defer to Mack if he's posting again today :-)
Atlas watches Mack try to get to the mirror while he pulls his rope from his backpack and hands it to Caramon to do the tying. "Make it tight and I'll take my end around to the other side and anchor it. Let's make sure that we throw another peanut at it or something before we try touching it. Who knows what this thing is going to do."

The Mirror Friday July 24th, 2015 9:46:28 AM
The group forms a back up plan, take a rope and stretch it the length of the place. The idea would be to climb 'up' to the mirror. Carver anchors one side and Atlas or Crosseye can anchor the other. Crosseye can locate no good anchor points for a grappling hook. Ther are no corners or sharp angels of anykind in the sphere or the tube passage that was taken to arrive within it. How will those anchoring the rope make the ascent though? Cameron claims to have an idea and Osul, for one, is tickled and eager to hear it.
Osul makes a half hearted attempt to launch from the side and achieves the same results as Mack had with his first attempt
Mack takes a small run and then leaps for the middle of the sphere. It is quite impressive to say the least. not everyday does a Halfling launch himself nearly 60' into the air. His flight path is at the speed one might think of when jumping, he does not slowly float, but simply keeps going until he reaches the center where he stops and simply hangs there. To Mack, it feels as if you feet are on solid ground and you now stand in front of the oval silver disk. At this distance, you can see a vague depression in the surface like a shallow pyramid shape in the center. To the left and right of the pyramid depression is a depression that looks like the Mobius strips. The small tabs on the Mobius strips look like they would connect to the center of the pyramid. Above the pyramid shaped depression is a small sphere just below the surface of the mirror. Half of the sphere is green and half of it is yellow
Mack also notices that the surface of this 'mirror' does not appear to be entirely solid
Cameron (David F) AC 20 (T 14, FF 17) CMD 13 HP 16/16 Character Sheet d20+5=19 ; Friday July 24th, 2015 11:13:44 AM " Huh, wrong again Cameron. Maybe you should just keep yer yap shut." "Anyway, hang on a second Mack and I'll toss you the strips." Cameron takes his blanket and rations(what little is left anyway) out of his backpack and puts the strips into it. Tying the rope around the shoulder straps he tosses the bag at Mack, hard enough he hopes to break the weak force holding him and it to the wall, er floor, er whatever. He holds the rope loosely, letting it slide through his hands in case something goes wrong and Mack misses.
19 to "hit" Mack. No range calcs used because I have no clue what the gravity will do to a projectile

Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 18; HP 21/21 Character Sheet Friday July 24th, 2015 11:26:24 AM "Well done Mack!" Atlas stands with the rope anchored, giving it a stiff pull every now and again. If Carver grumps at him he just smiles and yells, "Just seeing if I will be able to pull you to this mirror with the gravity change. Or maybe I'm just checking to see if you're away"
Atlas watches as Cameron throws the bag with the mobius strips. "Nice throw Cameron! Let's do this Mack, I have a feeling that we're getting close to our goal."
Mack (Eric R) AC: 15 (T 15 FF 12), CMD: 11; HP 18/18 d20=5 ; d20+50=60 ; Friday July 24th, 2015 12:20:29 PM "Thanks! That was FUN!" I smile awkwardly, excited that I made it, and at the same time, surprised that I'm still alive. ;)
I catch the bag from Cameron, retrieve the strips, prepare to get zapped, and connect them where they seem to go on the pyramid.
If I had any time before that, I explore the "non-solid" surface. Can I push it, like jell-o? [i]Mmmm.... jell-o....[/b] My mind begins to wander.
OOC: d20 roll, in case I needed one for anything. 5. I hope I didn't need it for anything. ;) and a d20+50 roll, in case I needed that for anything as well. 60. Much better.

Carver continues to hold the rope securely even when anyone tugs on it, he is the anchor. He watches as the Mobius strips are tossed up to Mack. Not sure what to expect, Carver scrunches down just a bit.....
'Osul(Graham) AC:11 (T:11, FF:10), CMD:2, HP:14/14 d20+9=17 ; Saturday July 25th, 2015 1:10:11 AM "Nicely done!" "Carver, let me know if you want a hand with the rope. Until then, I have an uneasy feeling, and will be watching back down the corridor." {Perception: 17} - - - 8>< - - - OOC: Will update my spells for next post
Crosseye (Earl) AC: 17 (T 12 FF 15), CMD: 18;HP 20/20 Character Sheet Saturday July 25th, 2015 9:01:51 PM "Atlas do you want me the anchor this as free you? Me and Carver and hod each side as the anchor that allow you and Cameron to be free and use the robe to get to Mackand help him?" I one end of the robe and postion myself across the room so that the robe passes by the centre mirror. This will allow the others to use the robe as a climbing/track guild to get to the centre where Mack is. I yell over to Caver "Hold tight I got this end. The others can go help Mack now!"
