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...]
DM Note: I just remembered i did not take into account the Storm Burst penalty to Asads Attack against Atlas. Asad missed and i have adjusted/edited above to take this into account

Seeing this going to happen (something I didn't really want either) I pull "Liitle Mack" out and move in with Atlas. (Move to M9) "Sorry about this Asada! Honor be with you!" I say to the Guardain and join in the battle. I try to strike him with my great axe.

IC Walter snaps to when he sees they are actually going to fight the guardian. He moves behind it, staying out of reach until the last moment ( I counted, unless Asads has reach we don't know about he can do this without AoO's being provoked) then dashing into (K/9) to attack with sword and shield, granting Atlas a flanker.

I keep moving to get in behind the Guardian, trying to avoid an AoO, so moving to L5 for now, in preparation of doing the 5' moves starting next turn as I get within his attack range. (?) If I think he can already reach me, I do the cautionary 5' steps starting now already.
Knowing that placebo affects are often just as good as the real thing: "Atlas, I just gave you a psychic Touch Of Destiny, which will enable you to hit better and do more damage!"

Atlas takes a sharp breath in as Asads' sword just misses him. He takes the opportunity to counter strike, lashing out with his sword. However, it is clear that he's a bit hesitant, as he doesn't even come close to connecting.

Cameron snaps out with his whip, trying to trip Asads, but fails Crosseye moves in and strikes Asads, finding a weak point in the Guardians defenses. Walter moves to flank Asads with Atlas and swings with his scimitar, the blade skips off of Asads armor A full Attack is required to gain extra attacks be they two weapon fighting or because of a high Base attack Mack continues to circle, shouting to Atlas an imaginary spell Osul casts another Storm Burst to keep Asads off balance and wear him down Atlas attacks, but misses badly Carver continues down the hall and enters the smaller room, but with Walter already at Asads rear, Carver has to Squeeze to get close enough for an attack. His sword does slam into the Guardian.
Asads drifts back and to his left to exit the flank and strikes at Carver. His sword draws a minor wound into Carver's flank [Hit AC 19 Dmg 9] [move from L8 to K7]
Asdads combat motion is fluid, quick and quite good. Now that he is more animated, gears and cogs can be seen at the joints in his armor

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. His blade just skims past the Guardian's shoulder, not doing any real damage.

OOC Yes, it looked like a few folks disappeared again. I fixed the map again based on what you all posted as to where you wanted to go. Asads is now completely surrounded and no more melee people can get in to fight him. Based on people who gave coordinates to where they went Mack and Carver have Flanking, the rest of us are on our own. Also, since he is a construct type thingee I doubt he will take subdual damage, it would be like trying to make a toaster tired, but I get where 'Osul was coming from and up until he started to click and whir, who really knew right?

OOC Me either, that is totally table talk. However, is that -2 to attacks dependent on the target taking damage from your burst or do they take the minus regardless? If they do it is still helping quite a bit. When I read it, it doesn't say they have to take damage too be hampered by the winds, so YEAH, still really helpful.

Asads armor is thick, and Cameron's fighters are having trouble getting past his defenses. Jancassis has prepared Cameron for this and he thanks her by invoking her name and asking her to guide the hands of his friends toward victory.

Walter feels the sting to the back of his hand and secretly his skin crawls what just bit me!? is the top thought in his mind. Then, like a venom, the feeling of courage and sureness of action spreads through him and he attacks again, trying to get past Asads armor. This time as his scimitar slashes in low, his shield connects and bashes Asads helmeted head. Scimitar hits AC 21 for 8 damage Shield bash hits AC 22 for 7 damage

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. ;)

" 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'."

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

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.
He also takes a swing but misses as he steps back.

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. At any rate as long as I heal several of us and only one of him we will eventually win, I hope. Everyone is under the effects of Bless, Please take the +1 bonus to hit into account when you attack.

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

OOC: Just a clarification. A flurry of blows and unarmed attacks in general can consist of fists, feet, knees, elbows and even head butts. So unless something requires a empty hand (deflect arrows or catch arrows) carrying something does not hamper any attacks.

IC Cameron does the math, and doesn't like the results. " With the force he is swinging with and my lack of ability to trip or disarm him yet, I think that route is only going to end in failure.

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. So Walter sucks it up and renews his flurry of attacks, looking for another weak spot in Asads armor. " Keep whacking me with that stick and I'll keep him from getting out of this corner.

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!"

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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."
To himself he just hopes he can figure out how to use these two pieces he has in his hands......

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. I know the magic and healer guys are getting very tried and warren out.

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. IC Walter knows that if he tries to get up Asads will attack him and have no chance of missing. If he tries to crawl away, the result will be the same. So, he does the only thing he can, strike from where he is.
Attacking from prone with the Scimitar+2 flanking, -4 prone, +1 bless,+5 base = AC 21 a hit for 5 damage
Walter drives his blade straight up and under Asads armor, striking gold.

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.

As the Guardian makes a break for it, I take what I feel is a cheap shot at his back...
(single kick: d20+4(+1 Bless, +2 Flank), and d4-1 damage hits AC 20 for 2 damage, and an addition 2 damage if Sneak Attack applies)
I then take a clumsy shot at him with my goblin short bow that I still have in hand.
(goblin short bow: d20+4 (+1 Bless), and d4-1 damage Hit AC x for x damage) Miss.
"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. Scimitar hits AC 20 for 5 more damage He then lets his sword and shield fall to the ground as he plants his hands and stands up. He staggers into the hallway while drawing his bow and nocking and arrow. (Move to stand, move action to draw a weapon and move)

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)

With the Guardain running off to chase Carver I know I I need to do. 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. Attack roll 7+6-1=12 miss) and I miss him as he runs by. I still need to do more and run after him chasing Asads down the hall. When I catch back up to him I try again with my great axe.

If Asads is still moving or what not I get ready and take another strike? (Attack roll 14 miss)!
If he has fallen in the battle. I bend down to him and say " Rest now old breve Guardain! You done your job well!" I turn to the others there "Now what? He seem very interested in what or where Carver was doing/ going. We should search him and see if he has anything we need or can use!"

"What about his gears and such, all steel, or is there any gold or silver used to help with the magical properties required to make him tick? Maybe a magical 'brain' or something that we could sell? He looks like a goldmine if we can take him apart. Then again, if we could take him whole, I bet a wizard would pay quite the sum for him. Too bad he probably weighs half a ton."

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.

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.

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.

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

"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.

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.

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.

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?"

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

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".

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."

I then hand the items over to either Cameron or Atlas who ever wants them. I take aside if need be and help with the string fm the rope.
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

"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 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."

Cameron hurls a pack with the Mobuis strips to Mack. Normally there would be no way to throw a pack so far, but when halflings can jump 60', throwing a pack as far is possible too. Mack catches the pack. A little experimentation and yes, jello, is a good description of the surface. The surface gives way and Mack's hand sinks into the mirror a bit before he pulls it back out. His hand is unharmed and just as it was before he did so. The Mobius strips are placed on the surface and nothing bad happens. There is one piece missing, the pyramid, which will complete the configuration

Atlas hands the rope to Crosseye and jumps as high as he can in hopes of getting away form the gravity. He then uses the rope and pulls him self the rest of the way to Mack. "So Mack, what do you think? Looks like we need some sort of pyramid thing. I don't have a clue where we'll find that, but it seems we're out of luck otherwise."
Atlas pushes his hand into the mirror to test it just like Mack did. He then prepares to go back and search for the pyramid.

Pyramid shape in the mirror has 3 sides and there are two tabs spots, one for each of the Mobius strips you have The Diamonds from Asads do not fit the indentation, nor does anything else you have seen thus far

He wonders if maybe theother two spheres contained the pyramid they need.

'Osul swings back into the cylindrical corridor from his previous vantage point, ready to head out hunting pyramids.

OOC: Spoons for arms.... I like the sounds of that. Maybe one of them could be a spork? :)

Atals makes his way to the mirror and tests out the surface tension. his hand slides in and comes back out, all fingers still wiggling. As the party begins to think on the small sphere in the mirror , they perform a mental count of how many they encountered and arrive at 4. One Green, One Yellow and 2 Red. The Red Spheres set off magical charges when touched. The spheres encountered in the passages were perhaps 15 times the size of the one in the mirror.
The group cannot think of anything it has missed. There really are not that many places in here that they can get to. The big looming question really is this. Is the Beacon still active? The lesser one is how can they know or open the front door?

" All I can think is this thing was set to green and yellow, so the green and yellow orbs opened when we put them on the altar. If the back side is two red halves, amybe the red orbs will open." " Sound like it might work?"

Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 18; HP 21/21 Character Sheet Tuesday July 28th, 2015 4:43:08 PM ooc: I'm sick and struggling...forgive the short posts.
Atlas listens to the back and forth as everyone discusses what the next steps should be. Encouraged by the fact that the mirror didn't swallow him, he reaches in with Mack and tries to grab and/or move the spheres that he sees in there.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 18; HP 21/21 Character Sheet Tuesday July 28th, 2015 4:54:55 PM ooc: This is what happens when it takes me 2 hours to write a post that is 1 line, ha! Sorry David.
Atlas hear's Cameron's recommendation and pulls back out, letting Mack do the puzzle work. He waits patiently.

OOC Been there. Feel better.
Mack (Eric R) AC: 15 (T 15 FF 12), CMD: 11; HP 18/18 Tuesday July 28th, 2015 6:37:53 PM
I try Cameron's suggestion, and reach in and try rotating the orb thingee.

Carver waits anxiously , hoping nothing goes boom.....

I am with Carver I hold my side of the rope watching everyone else, hoping nothing go boom or bad! I think to myself "I am so confused and lost of what we are missing and what to do next. I am glad to let my friends figure this one out. I do wish thought that I could be more help!"

He looks up at his friends by the mirror, and then focuses back down the corridor, still with that uneasy feeling.
Mack (Eric R) AC: 15 (T 15 FF 12), CMD: 11; HP 18/18 Wednesday July 29th, 2015 7:50:32 PM
...and I stick my foot into the jello.
Cameron (David F) AC 20 (T 14, FF 17) CMD 13 HP 16/16 Character Sheet Wednesday July 29th, 2015 8:31:12 PM
Cameron paces nervously waiting to see if turning the rb works or if all Mack's limbs go flying in different directions.

Carver waits to see what happens when his hands vanish into the mirror....
The Mirror Wednesday July 29th, 2015 10:30:35 PM
Mack reaches into the mirror to try and manipulate the sphere just below the surface as suggested by Cameron. When he touches the sphere, he finds that indeed he can spin it and upon the other side is a red dot. As that side of the sphere comes into view and voice rings out through the spherical room. The voice is calm, melodic and carries a feminine tone. Automated Sentry and Defense System, Offline. Distress Signal, Offline. Cancelling Alpha Arc Protocol. Cancelling Lockdown
Mack taps his foot into the mirror. The reaction is the same as his and Atlas' earlier manipulation of the surface with their hands.

Atlas shrugs. "As simple as that? What is this place, and what triggered it to go off, and what is it protecting? There's more to this puzzle, but lets maybe get out of here before the monsters outside now start to find their way in. I didn't like the sound of 'Cancelling lockdown'...anyone can get in here and trap us now."
Mack (Eric R) AC: 15 (T 15 FF 12), CMD: 11; HP 18/18 Thursday July 30th, 2015 12:48:30 PM "Maybe we need to find what it was protecting, though. It might be something we don't want falling into the 'wrong' hands. ?"
Crosseye (Earl) AC: 17 (T 12 FF 15), CMD: 18;HP 20/20 Character Sheet Thursday July 30th, 2015 2:05:39 PM "I am with Mack! What was beening protected? Plus who set off or put the signal in play? What's stoping it from happening again? I think there is still more to this we need to look around better now that the defences are off. Maybe other things have opened up?" I ask these questions and put these points to the others, thinking we still need to do more here or there is still more to discover.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 18; HP 21/21 Character Sheet Thursday July 30th, 2015 2:06:31 PM "I'm open to that, but I didn't see any alternate paths for us to take on the way in here. Let's keep our eyes peeled, for options and for unwelcome visitors."
Carver (John C) AC 16, AC 18 with shield, CMB 6, CMD 17, HP 21/21 Character Sheet Thursday July 30th, 2015 4:00:15 PM "Can someone else come here and hold this end of the rope. From my meager understanding of what's going on, I think maybe I should head back to the central room, and watch the door that we entered through. If the defenses have been disabled, who knows what could come calling....." Carver waits for someone to come take the rope before moving off.
'Osul(Graham) AC:11 (T:11, FF:10), CMD:2, HP:14/14 Thursday July 30th, 2015 7:18:18 PM
'Osul takes the rope from Carver, as asked, and adds, "..but I may be of more use in the search." "How big is the space in the mirror? It that an exit, or a possible breech-point?" "Of course, it is possible that having done this, the configuration of the base may revert to something a little less... unnatural."
