DM Dan K - First sighting of a ja’Kollu Iss’Wyrm Monday November 7th, 2016 9:15:43 AM
Zeoll knows the best location would be back at the cliffs, but that is an hour back. He pulls the group away from the hole and into the pines well off the game trail of the mammoths. As camp is set up, Terser wonders why the creature does not attack mammoths as well and that a flying scout could investigate if the creature is still down the hole Clyde casts the 2 Tiny Hut spells and the eveinng and night watches are set
The roar of the falls is relatively subdued in the trees, but so too is the silvery shine of the stars. Some additional clouds pushing into the mountains just after sundown take the area into a darkness resembling the underground. The night is also far more active than is was higher in the mountains. Animals can be heard moving through the snow and trees regularly through the night, though non are ever seen. The trumpetting of mammoths and the vibration through the ground alerts you to a sizable herad moving rapidly somewhere in the dark. Several deep growls that would be from a very large pair of cats is also heard shortly after. The trees nearest the group and out to Tersers Darkvision are never disturbed, so the watch in convinced the ruccus happened much further afield.
Zeoll meditates and dreams for how to possibly ambush the worm and awkens with a start. The great bonfire has died to low embers and the cold has returned. Tishe, Clyde, Reggie and Jozhur all sleep nearby, but Terser, Rillett and Miffune are not immediately noticable. A snapping branch turns the liontaurs head back and to the right where he catches a glimpse of the dwarf making a circuit. A soft voice immediately next to him spins him back. She always had a calming effect and Zeoll feels his heartreat slow and the adrenaline of his initial start fades. He knows he need not look to her and so Zeoll simply stares into the fire and returns his head to his resting place. Her hand slowly stroking down his flank as he closes his eyes and falls back asleep
Rillett awakens in the morning and Casts Divination The cold returns about his person with the same ferocity it seemed to hold when he first stepped through the portal and into this land. Rillett feels his lungs filling deeply with impossibly cold air, his nose and fingers quickly lose all feeling and even the tears of his eyes feel as if they are starting to freeze as a single word rolls though his mind, Directly
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC26; HP62) Monday November 7th, 2016 1:06:34 PM
Zeoll tells his friends of his middle-of-the-night encounter. That, plus the results of Rill's Divination, makes the old liontaur think that the wyrm will come to them soon enough. He prays for spells and casts Mage Armor on himself and on anyone else who needs it (Reggie? Anybody? Just shout!).
He also casts his Elf Vision spell.
Then Zeoll finds a large tree in the area and climbs it, ten ft up. He ties himself to the trunk, figuring that this will maybe make it easier for him to hide from tremorsense. And not get swallowed whole.

Reggie had curled up close to Jozhur during the night. hard to believe she could stand toe-to toe with most men as she looked so innocent and helpless sleeping as she is.
In the morning, Reggie steps outside for a morning stretch and some exercising to keep battle ready.
"If anyone needs to get inside the thing, I'll go I can withstand quite a bit before I go down. as long as you guys can offer to help get me out.
Rill (MarkB) HP 93/93 - AC 23/13/21 CMD 21 Monday November 7th, 2016 5:21:58 PM
Rill relates the result his Divination spell. He also shivers in the cold that has returned with a vengeance. As he pulls his cloak more tightly about him, he looks around at his friends and quickly sees that they are not affected this sudden cold.
"This is interesting. Soon after we left Frigga'Isa to pursue this great beast, the unnatural cold of this place seemed to abate. I suspect we were granted some sort of protection from the gods of this place so long as we were on our quest.
“I asked how to best pursue and defeat the ja’Kollu Iss’Wyrm. In response, I became instantly as cold as I have ever been in this land, and in my mind was the word, 'Directly'. This could mean a number of things.
“Perhaps it means that attacking the creature directly will subject us to magical cold damage.
“Perhaps it is a warning that failure to pursue the creature directly will result in the gods of this land removing their protection from the cold.
“Perhaps the cold is part of the answer, and we need to attack the creature directly with magical cold. But that can’t be right, because Frigga'Isa said the great worm was a creature of both fire and ice, and not particularly bothered by either.
“I am left with the conclusion that Zeoll was right yesterday when he suggested we go down that hole. That would be the most direct route to pursue the creature. After such a big meal, it is probably still down there. We should all be prepared for both magical cold and fire as best we can. Having a small weapon at hand would also be good in case we are swallowed.”
Without looking at Zeoll, he says, “But don’t tell Zeoll I said he was right. I don’t want him to get a big head.”
AC 15/ 15/ 13 CMD 15 HP 91 /91/ 0 NL Tishe' (SteveK) Monday November 7th, 2016 8:09:57 PM
Tishe' listens to Zeoll and Rillet in the freezing morning air. " there may be another reason," says the Psion of the southern continent. " The powers of the seven continent are closer to mortals. We were warm when Friga'Isa's patron cast his eyes upon us. But now that Rillet's spell has brought Celisiun watching, it is cold."
Whichever way it is, Tishe' is sure 'directly' means to follow the beast into its own hole. ...
And she is ready to follow Jozhur and the Black Lions to the same pick.

Clyde followed the conversation of the group with great interest. He's never fought a creature of this sort before, and prefers to listen to others for input, and making suggestions only if his ideas seem worthwhile. But who was he to ignore a god's advice to pursue the creature through direct methods?
Stretching his neck and shoulders, Clyde prepares for the inevitable journey down the hole. He's got Feather Fall to descend, and Light in case the sunlight didn't penetrate through the depths, but he's at a loss for what to do if the creature is able to take flight. No point worrying over something he can't control.
Clyde speaks up and tells the group, "I can cast Invisibility Sphere and Zone of Silence, in case we need it. Though if the creature does have tremorsense, it's all but pointless. Still, something to keep in mind should you wish to use it. Just let me know."
With that, he takes out his trusted blade, wiping it down and inspecting its condition as the group finalizes the plan.

"A small weapon is always useful, though I favour keeping things at arm's distance. Going underground should abate the cold somewhat as well, or at least reduce the windchill. Either way, I do like this direction, even if it took the word of your God to convince you. "
DM Dan K - The ja’Kollu Iss’Wyrm Tuesday November 8th, 2016 10:12:33 AM
Zeoll and Rillett both tell the party of what their magical divination a revealed and the group speculates on possible meanings. Most conclude that the original thought of going down the hole is the correct choice now.
Zeoll looks for a tree large enough for him to climb and is successful at finding a great white pine to try and do so. The next step is getting up to the nearest low branches that could support his weight, about 35 feet up. Climb check DC 25
The rest of the group wants to get back to the hole, about an hour hike through the pines and onto a wider field where the creature broke through.
Once there, discussions about what spells to cast on who and when will need to be replaced by the action of casting the spells and what to do after
Durations may become important depending on the spells , so please list for DM sanity
(Brock) Jozhur AC23 / Touch 16/Flat 17--CMD 24--HP88/88 Tuesday November 8th, 2016 12:18:45 PM
Jozhur agrees, they are to follow the beast.
"I have a couple potions of Darkvision, they could prove useful down there. I'm not sure it's a good idea to let the thing swallow us, but if we go with that plan, we should probably all go into the belly of the beast."
Rill (MarkB) HP 93/93 - AC 23/13/21 CMD 21 d20+25=28 ; Tuesday November 8th, 2016 12:32:01 PM
Rill looks up at Zeoll and pushes his helmet back and scratches his head, "Anybody know how to get a cat out of a tree?"
Assuming someone can talk Zeoll down from there, Rill will prepare to move with the others to the worm hole. He will cast an extended Water Walk (Duration 3.7 hours). Once at the hole, he looks down, listening for noise (Perception 28.) Also, how's it smell?
Rill pulls out a continual flame affected amulet, shedding a good amount of light.
He will cast Air Walk on Terser if the Dwarf accepts the spell. If it is a vertical descent, he prepares to Feather Fall with Tishe and the others. On the way down, he continues to invoke power to clean his white robes and furs if they get dirty. Not a big fan of being dirty. ------------------------------------ Spells Running: Status on all but Zeoll (extended from the night before), Longstrider (extended from the night before),

Zeoll laughs and gives up his climbing attempt.
"Okay, if the wyrmm will not come to us, I guess we have to go to it!"

"Best way to get to your goal is a straight line!" Terser will lead the way, a bit ahead of the light, floating down and using his darkvision.

Tishe' waits for everyone who wants to Featherfall down to gather near before she casts her spell. "No need to hold hands", she tells the group, then steps off the edge to the bottom.
Her hand touches her cloak creating a Light spell in the tunnel.
And then she looks about. She keeps close to Terser, intending to start casting Resist Fire spells when they hear an approaching avalanche of fiery ice worm!

Clyde peers down the wide hole with a certain excited anxiousness. As Terser descended, Clyde whispered a soft word, and slowly descended down, light as a feather. Down into the gaping maw, Clyde touches the amulet hanging around his neck, and flutters another word, causing a soft light to appear. Gripping his curved blade, Clyde continues his descent.
DM Dan K - The ja’Kollu Iss’Wyrm Wednesday November 9th, 2016 10:57:29 AM
Zeoll gives up on climbing the tree and by mid morning the group is back at the hole. The sides are quite icy, but thanks to the Water Walking spell, Rillett is able to examine the edges without fear of slipping in. The morning sun is providing more light at the surace and down the shaft then any current magiclal light source. It is confirmed by Rillett, that the hole extends down at least 100', but that is where natural light ends and it fully appears the hole continues and where the magical light sources will be taking over.
The smell of the area is simply one of cold. Further to the south, the group can spy some reindeer moving through the pines to the river this morning and back into the tundra there are signs of the mammoth herd. Whether or not that herd is approaching cannot be determined right now. The sky is cloudy and there is a feel of snow in air.
Jozhur mentions a pair of Darkvision potions he has, in case they are needed as the group readies to descend. Rillett casts Air Walk on Terser and then prepares to go down himself with Tishe's Feather Fall Tishes casts Feather Fall on Rillett, Clyde, Jozhur, Reggie, herself and Zeoll. She activates a magical light source and steps off. Clyde follows, also activating a Light source.
Thus the group gently floats towards the bottom, but as the shaft is not entirely vertical, you must push off from the side now and again to continue the magical air born version of a lazy river ride. Terser is able to move at greater speed.
Less than 30 seconds later, 4 rounds of spell time the group arrives at the bottom of the shaft where it straighens and continues into the dark. The floors, ceiling and walls of this smooth cylindrical tunnel are comprised completely of ice. Footing is precarious at best. The tunnel is at least 65' long as Terser cannot see an end to to it within his 60' of Darkvision sight. Rillett's Water Walking spell and Air walk on Terser allow each of them to move along the floor without issue. Anyone else might have problems walking and would certainly have concerns trying to fight on such an icy surface.

"What if we like holding hands? Though it's a good idea not to. Reggie's is the only hand I wouldn't worry about crushing by accident, and mine isn't the hand she wants to hold."
OOC: Kindly DM -- any chance that having four feet might bestow a stability bonus? :-)
Zeoll casts Light, and looks at the icy tunnel. Would a Spider Climb spell help with that, he wonders? [Spellcraft check 30, if that reveals any spell that might help, Zeoll considers using his level 1-3 Anything Potion.]
Or *do* we all have water walk, and does that help?
Zeoll keeps his shield ready and also keeps alert. Perception 46 nat 20!
(Brock) Jozhur AC23 / Touch 16/Flat 17--CMD 24--HP88/88 Wednesday November 9th, 2016 5:29:26 PM
Jozhur walks gingerly across the icy surface, "I knew I should've bought those boots." He examines the walls and ceiling, "Kind of looks like it was melted and froze again. This wyrm must be very warm."

Staring into the dark tunnel, Clyde mutters to the group. "I can cast Phantom Steed for myself, and perhaps for one other person, but the rest of my spells need to be saved for combat and Tiny Huts at night. That said, we could always do without the huts, which frees up a couple more spells."

(Sorry if I was not clear. Water Walk will affect everyone in the party for 3.7 hours. Everyone has secure footing on the ice.)
Rill is ready to move forward. He casts extended Resist Energy (Fire) on Reggie and Terser (2 spells cast, 22 min duration.)
"Lead on Terser!"
DM Dan K - The ja’Kollu Iss’Wyrm Thursday November 10th, 2016 10:37:10 AM
Bit of clarification here
Rillett's Water Walk spell can affect everyone providing secure footing as your feet don't actually touch the surface used Extend rod to increase duration
Rillett casts Resist Energy Fire on Terser and Reggie using the last 2 charges of his Lesser Extend Rod
Tishe casts Resist Energy Fire Extending the spell by Weaving it for a bit longer. How long are you weaving?
The others likely have preparations to make as well. Terser can see 60' with his Darkvision Jozhur, Clyde, Tishe, Reggie can see clearly for 20' and into Dim light for the next 20' Zeoll can see clearly for 40' and into Dim Light for 40'
No one can see the end of the passage. As perceptive as some in the party are, the tunnel is quiet and calm, like a cylindrical tomb of ice. The movement of the party and the clouds of your breath are the only perceptible things about.
Due to the misunderstanding on my part i'm giving pause here to anything else anyone wants to do before Terser 'Leads On'

Mifune looks around the tunnel (Perception 15,) peering into the darkness ahead. He draws his greatsword "Lightbringer." Light spills from the blade, bathing the elf in a brilliant glow in this dark place. Light glistens off the walls and floor around him.
He casts and extended Resist Energy (Fire, 22 minutes) on himself. Taking a front position in the party, he moves ahead with the others.

Reggie moves along the ice. being as careful as possible on the ice. despite the magic on her. she stays near Jozhur to prevent him from being swallowed.
Zeoll casts Bless. That'll last for the next seven minutes.
If we are not round by round yet, then Zeoll will also cast a Summon Fey Friend III, using a third level sorcerer slot, and setting down his shield as he does so. The creature summoned is random, of course, and turns out to be a rolling a d10 ... a Satyr. Since it is CN and Zeoll is NG, (alignment two steps removed), it will do as Zeoll commands, but it will be surly and may not follow the entire spirit of his commands.
Zeoll bows to the Satyr and asks him to walk along with the group for the next 8 rounds, attacking any foes who attack us first.

Mifune draws his weapon, which casts a light about him and then casts Resist Energy Fire; Extended Mifune moves to the front with Terser
Reggie keeps next to Jozhur
Zeoll casts Bless and then summons assistane Summon Fey Friend III A Saytr appears and immediately begins cursing at the Liontaur about the cold. AS Zeoll tells the saytr what is expected of it, the fey curses him, his race and especially Zeoll parentage. The Saytr checks his footing and then carefully moves up alongside Tishe.
It takes Tishe 7 rounds to complete the weaving, but in the end Extended Resist Energy; Fire is protecting Herself, Rillet, Terser, Zeoll, Jozhur, Clyde, and Reggie. It is after this, that Zeoll summons the Saytr.
Clyde moves to the front to walk on Tersers right, with Mifune on Terser's left. The passage is wide enough for all 3 to stand abreast and not be crowded.
Rillet is in the second row on Jozhur's right and Reggie on the other side of the captian
Zeoll and Tish are bringing up the rear with the Saytr trying to walk next to the spell weaver. He is having a very hard time of it on the ice.
Rillett's Detect Magic reveals only the precense of magic as would be expected, given how much is wrapped about the group
The group moves down the passage steadily and the Saytr quickly falls behind. As he tries to keep up, the creature falls several times, cursing Zeoll with every shivering, teeth chattering breath as he collides hard with the ice. In less than a minute, his misery is over as the spell fades and the satyr vanishes
The corridor is silent, save the party once again.
The group travels ofr just over an hour, before Terser notes the tube like tunnel ahead opens into a greater chamber.
Jozhur, Terser and Reggie's sharp sences pick up sound coming from in front of the in the chamber. It sounds like wood or some other fairly solid and sizable object being dragged across the floor. Very suddenly, the sound stops and all is completely quiet.

Jozhur quietly removes a potion of Darkvision from his bag and prepares to drink it, but holds off for now. When he hears the noises, he hold up a hand, motioning for everyone to stop. He ponders their next action in a low whisper, "Shhhh. I can try to go see what we're dealing with, or we all move up and attack."

Clyde briefly looks at Tishe' and smiles solemnly, before quickly darting his eyes back towards the darkness ahead. He feels comforted by Terser's presence to his left, and Mifune further left of Terser.
After an hour's tense silent journey, the tunnel opens into a chamber. With caution, Clyde pauses and waits for his senses to detect any possible danger [OOC: Perception 15 (rolled a nat 1)]. Looking around at his companions, Jozhur asks the group whether he should scout. "I can cast Invisibility and Silence if you'd like. It won't help against scent or tremorsense, but might still be helpful. What do you think?" [OOC: If Jozhur agrees, Clyde will cast whichever spell(s) Jozhur wants.]

Did anyone else? Please speak up now!
DM Dan K - The ja’Kollu Iss’Wyrm Monday November 14th, 2016 1:27:24 PM
A short discussion occurs and the results are in. Jozhur drinks his Darvision potion Clyde casts Silence on Terser, or an object Terser is carrying which you can verify in your next post Zeoll casts Aid on Jozhur Zeoll summons a tiger and upon appearing, it immediately crouches down and begins to shiver Rillett casts AirWalk on Reggie Mifune casts Greater Magic Weapon upon his sword
Terser and Reggie move forward, with Jozhur inching his way to get a better look as well. The rest of the group is hanging back. The tiger that Zeoll summoned is voicing its likely discontent with the cold and icy ground upon which it finds itself. Terser and Reggie glide forward upon the air, Silenced by Clyde's spell completely and thus also do not hear the tiger's complaints behind them.
40' into the chamber, Terser Highlight to display spoiler: {can make out the ceiling, about 30' above his head. The chamber expanded to about 100' across, and thus the dwarf can see both sides. Ahead of him, at the edge of his vision, is what appears to be a roiling fog bank. It fills the chamber top to bottom and from let to right. The Silence spell prevent you from hearing anything} 40' into the chamber and all light sources held by the group back at the entrance have completely faded and Reggie finds herself, quite factually, completely in the dark. The Silence spell also deprives her of all sound and if Terser had not physically grabbed her she would have kept on strolling as the dwarf took what he sees.
Jozhur moves silently 10' into the chamber, his now magically enhanced sight taking it in. The ceiling is fairly low, perhaps 30', the left and right walls are nearly 50' away from his central position. Ahead, Terser and Reggie have both stopped. Behind him, the low growls of protest from the tiger, resonante through the chamber. Something up ahead, something large is moving, the scraping sound has begun again.
In the tunnel, about 50' from the entrance to the chamber, Tishe, Zeoll, Clyde, Rillett and Mifune, oh and an unhappy tiger, wait and listen. Zeoll Perception 15 Highlight to display spoiler: {Near the edge of your Lowlight vision, you can still make out Jozhur. Currently in a crouch and peering ahead of himself intently. Terser and Reggie are completely out of sight.}

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC19; HP62) Monday November 14th, 2016 1:48:50 PM
Zeoll and his tiger pal move so that they stay 35 ft behind Jozhur, or 40 ft forward, whichever is the lesser distance. Zeoll readies his tower shield so that if he is attacked, he will use the shield for total cover and block the attack. His AC drops to 19 when he does that.

Clyde nods at Jozhur's advice to cast the spell on Terser instead, walking over to the dwarf to mutter his spell. As Terser and Reggie both move ahead, Clyde nervously awaits behind along with the rest of his companions.

Terser sticks the silenced dagger into the ceiling, and taking Reggie's hand, guides her a few feet back out of the silence. He reports back to the others what he saw in the chamber.

With Terser's news of a mysterious fog, fight seemed imminent. "Sounds like we may need to battle this thing in the fog, limiting our vision. If the immediate entrance is clear though, it'd be best to go ahead and start moving everyone in."
After listening to everyone else's input, Clyde takes his own advice and moves past the entrance, as close to the fog as his companions are willing to go.

Reggie stays where she is and asks if the plan is to get eaten or fight the worm
Tishe stows her wand and casts Fly
Terser turns and heads back to the dagger in the dagger in the ceiling. The wold, once again goes completely silent. The dwarf is 25' above the ground. {this is a double move action. Total defensive is a standard Action and thus Terser is not Total Defensive
Zeoll casts Summon Fey Friend and tries to coax the tiger to squeeze in next to him, which it does and he tiger is now Squeezed
Jozhur glides forward just above the ground, thanks to Tishe's fly spell.
Terser and Jozhur can both hear a grinding against the ice. It seems to come from everywhere, but the pair can both hone in to know it is from the billowing fog. The two heroes can also tell the fog is not abating, but perpetually being created.

Zeoll places him 25 ft forward, and then leads his first tiger friend along too (move action). Zeoll will end in L-M-29-30, with his tigers in K-L-27-28 and M-N-27-28. The old liontaur listens and smells carefully to try to figure out just where the grinding is centered in the fog ahead.
Perception 36.
Based on his best perceptive guess, Zeoll casts Faerie Fire right at it, hoping to highlight and illuminate the thing in the fog.

He looks to see if the Continual Flame he threw into the fog last round is visible in the mist.

Last Round - Rillet pulls his sling and fires a one of his bullets with Continual Flame into the fog. The fog seems to swallow the bullet and light completely as it sails in. A hiss like sound comes from the direction of the fog and the grinding sound stops.
Reggie moves up to be with Jozhur to protect him.
Zeoll's spell summons a second tiger and the trio of cats move up. Zeoll then tries to see if he can locate their foe by smell. A move Action Zeoll detects the same scent he discovered at the surface, but it is not close enough or powerful enough to give him any good distance guess. The second cat is also quite put out about the freezing conditions it finds itself in.
Terser remains where he is, 25' above the floor and enveloped in a sphere of silence, compliments of the dagger he is holding.
Rillet peers into the fog for the Light Bullett, but it must be deeper or the cavern continues to a distance where the Continual Flame on the bullett cannot reach back to hs eyes. Rill then activates an ability and gains Tremorsense to 20'. Due to a Water Walking spell, Rillett is not actually touching the ground and cannot benefit from Tremorsense...you can change this action in your next post
Clyde moves forward and joins Jozhur and Reggie on the ground undr where Terser is keeping his airial lookout. The bard casts [i]Mirror Image upon himself.
Tishe floats her way forward and as requested by Clyde, casts Fly upon the bard
The fog continues to roil like a stationary wall for a second or two and then becomes briefly backlit with an orange red glow. In that moment, the group of heroes spy the great worm, coiling about itself like a serpent. It is at least 20' into the fog and just off center in the cavern to the groups left. The flash is shortly followed by a wave of heat that rolls past you, like the opening of a hot stove. As the heat wave moves, it reacts with the ice and tendrils of fog sprial up all about you. Unlike the bank about the creature though, the tendrils dissipate quickly.

Terser peers through the fog as it is briefly lit up, searching the worm for any sign of weakness, or perhaps a bright point that may indicate where the gland they need is located. If he sees none, he will approach with some level of caution, and inspect the worm from a closer vantage.

Clyde casts Good Hope Jozhur and Terser are beyond the limits of the spell
Reggie moves forward to keep an eye on the Captain Jozhur
Ahead in the darkness there is another red orange flash. Most see little, but feel a second heat wave wash over them. Tishe spies only a brief glimpse of fog with a shadowy form within. There is a sound of a loud hiss that suddenly goes quiet.
Terser Highlight to display spoiler: {The intense heat and flash blast away the fog in an instant and you alomost wished it hadn't. A wall of teeth with 6 great mandibles emerges from the disapating fog with the speed of an arrow. The blow is sends you flying backwards and leaves a deep gash in your side. A hideous cold stabs you at the point of the wound turning your blood to ice. In the aftermath of the attack, the fog returns from the cold surroundings to envelop the creature. In the attack you also spied a clutch of eggs}
ALL: Terser suddenly appears in the dim light of Reggie's everburning torch. His side torn open, but no blood falls. It has been flash frozen where it sprayed

The air felt heavy in Clyde's lungs as he tries to anticipate the creature. Clyde's voice booms through the cavern as he continues his tale of courage and heroism, but such words seemed paltry against the force that knocked Terser back in the blink of an eye.
With the hypnotic calm broken, Clyde whispers a spell, and immediately felt elated, more free somehow [OOC: Casting freedom of movement]. He rushes closer to the front of the fray, his mirror images moving in perfect unison, ensuring he stays away from the captain's and Terser's cone of silence.
Clyde's voice still booming, he addresses his friends, though the message was clearly aimed the creature. "My friends, I had heard a god beast ruled this land! But what manner of monkey is this that hides behind a fog of cowardice? Perhaps the fog permeates from its yellow soiling!"

Terser flings the dagger to the side of the cavern when he is pushed back through the air, seeing as the silence did nothing to prevent the worm from detecting him. It must have some other means of finding them.
No need for stealth it seems, perhaps being a mother has given this thing some extra sensory abilities. Also, ouch. Didn't imagine it could move that quickly from a standstill.

Lets see what Zeoll summoned ... an 8 means that a Shambling Mound appears!
Zeoll places the Shambler at 20-21-I-J, and then it charges the worm! It moves straight to I-J-12-13, stopping five ft from the worm because it has reach. It attacks once, at +2 to hit and -2 AC for the charge, using its power attack to slam the worm for -2 to hit and +4 damage. It hits AC18 for 19 damage. (Grab and constrict = nope, foe too big)
Zeoll casts Mage Armor on the Extended Tiger and sends it charging into battle too! The Extended Tiger charges 80 ft to K-L-11-12, and then pounces on the worm. That gives it a bite, two claws, and two rakes, all at +2 to hit with the charge, +2 with Good Hope, and +1 Inspire Courage. It hits ACs 28, 26, 25, and 31 for 15, 10, 15, 10, and 8 damage, respectively.
Zeoll and the Normal Tiger move up 40 ft to 21-22-K-L (Tiger) and 23-24-J-K (Zeoll)

Rill sees the creature dart out of the fog for a moment before the dwarf goes tumbling back from the blow.
“Gargul’s Teeth! That thing’s big! Good job Terser - you found the worm!”
He knows that he’ll have to be more mobile if he is to keep this group alive. As he moves forward to H20, he draws a FLY scroll out and reads it. (Fly - duration 5 min.)
“Now let’s see if we can get a better look at this thing.”
As the Medium Air Elemental he began summoning last round appears at H16, Rill instructs it (via Tongues) to form a whirlwind at that location (30’ tall, 5’ wide at it’s base, 15’ wide at the top) to begin clearing the fog away. So the whirlwind moves 100' through the fog and the creature's squares, clearing fog as it goes (Fly check = 25, does not provoke AOOs.) ------------------------------------ Spells Running: Longstrider (extended from the night before), Water Walk (Extened), Resist Energy Fire (Extended, from Tishe), Prayer (2/11 rd), Medium Air Elemental (1/11 rd), Fly (5 min)

Terser throws the dagger aside and channels energy to heal his wounds
Clyde castsFreedom of Movement and moves up towards Terser
Zeoll summons a Shambling Mound and urges it to attack the wyrm. The shambling Mound cannot see the wyrm in the dark or through the fog. The creature does move forward in search of his foe. Zeoll casts Mage Armor on a tiger and urges it forward intot he fray. The tige moves forward, but is unable to charge due to the ice. Zeoll and the other tiger then also move forward
A medium air elemental appears to answer Rill's summons. Rillett then moves forward and takes out a scroll from his magical pants. move action to advance and move action tu get a scroll, you haven't cast the spell yet
The Air elemental becomes a vortex and moves into the fog, dissipating it as it does so
Reggie moves forward and releases a burst of energy, healing more of Terser's wounds. Channel Heal Terser 5
Jozhur drinks his Darkvision potion, activates his Boots of Haste and flies off into the dark.

With a harsh whisper, Clyde feels his blood rush through the veins [OOC: Cast Haste]. Exploding with newfound speed, Clyde moves towards the earth elemental, his mirror images blazing by in sync, and finally lays eyes upon the mighty wyrm. A mocking sneer twitches upon his face.

Regardless of his statement, Terser doesn't mean to waste time while the worm is occupied with the mound. He darts in through the air and channels some frustration into his glaive, swinging mightily at the scaled monstrosity.

When Terser mentions eggs, Jozhur looks around and shrugs at the dwarf. He wastes little time when he sees the others moving in the attack. He flies silently at the creature, losing some altitude and drawing his sword as he goes. He does his best to slip his blade between the wurm's scales.

DM Dan K - The ja’Kollu Iss’Wyrm - Combat Round 5 Wednesday November 23rd, 2016 10:08:06 PM
Last Round - Tishe flies further into the cavern and Readies a Lightning spell
Current Round Clyde catas Haste and closes with the Wyrm. AS he closes, the light from his amulet lights up the Wrym. Jozhur is not affected by the Haste spell
The Air elemental and Especially Clydes light source, now provide Tishe with a definitive target and she makes the most of it. Lightning and Magic Missiles fly from her hands to strike the creature
Terser calls out that maybe they should get one of the eggs, even as he comes in at the creature and strikes with his glaive. As the glaive strikes, a blast of heat radiates from the point of impact. Terser Reflex save DC 19 or your glaive takes Dmg 29 your fire protection applies
Rillett casts fly and moves to the left, caling out for the air elemental to continue trying to clear away the fog. The creature does what it can, but the cold of the cavern, the heat from the creature and the pulses of cold from the creature, seem to recreate the fog almost as fast as the elemental is blowing it away. The air elemental is able to keep a channel along the left side clear
Jozhur descends as he closes and attacks with his sword, but the blade skips off of the Wyrms scales. Johzur Reflex save DC 19 or your sword takes Dmg 32 your fire protection applies
Reggie closes to melee range with the others
Most of the party can now easily see the wyrm. It is blue and white in coloration with snake like skin covering most of its body. Its head is disproportionately large with a massive set of 6 interlocking manibles which can all split apart allowing it to grab prey larger than itself. Strips of white and grey fur run dwon the length of the body on either side. Currently it is coiling about itself, the Shambling mound trapped in the powerful jaws.
The mandibles close and the shambler is gone, eaten.
Supernatural cold gnaws at Reggie, Terser, Clyde, Jozhur, the tiger and the Air elemental. Dmg 11 It seems to surge from the creature, a palpable field surrounding it

ACTIONS: Free: Continue Inspire Courage Swift: Activate Arcane Strike Attacks 1: 27 (I assume this missed, since Jozhur's attack vs AC 27 glanced off the scales) Attacks 2: 38 for 37 damage Attacks 3: 28 for 40 damage Note 1: My attack rolls forgot to include the +2 from flanking, hence the adjusted scores. Note 2: Between the Resist Fire 30, and weapon's hardness of 14, any damage to the weapon should hopefully be sufficiently negated that the attacks shouldn't have been hindered.

Sounds like I'm just standing as if on solid ground. Roll of 18 makes this question moot this round.
Terser's nearest allies feel his strength radiating in an aura around him, ready to support them to should they allow it. He channels this into his strikes, hoping that the worm dies before his glaive melts into a pile of slag.

Zeoll's tiger attacks, scratching the wyrm with 2 great swipes. The other tiger moves up as well but as it does so, the wyrm strikes and the tiger explodes into light as it is destroyed Zeoll begins another summoning spell

Clyde witnesses Terser's ferocity as the dwarf's glaive lands its massive swings successively. Clyde himself began to feel the rage of the dwarf take hold of him, and he burns with renewed intensity.
That rage was nearly undone as the wyrm overpowers Terser with a bite, but Rill flew in and disappeared in a blink, seemingly taking Terser with him. That concern out of the way, Clyde continues to goad the creature. "It's over, monkey."

"What do we need to dig out of this beastie?" he growls. He casts Locate Object to find the object -- the organ, that is, no longer a creature -- that the party seeks.

"Wow. At least it didn't blow up like those frozen zombies." He looks at it with Deathwatch to ensure it is dead and does not rise as one of those zombies this land creates. Assuming he sees that the creature is dead, Rill moves to Terser and casts a Heal spell, restoring the dwarf to full hit points. Then he looks around to see if anyone else is still injured.
As the fog from the creature abates, Rill will thank the Air Elemental for its help and release it from service. And onece the fog is clear, he will cast detect magic and begin scanning the chamber.

The wyrm is checked on quite thoroughly and it is determined that it is indeed very dead. Magic and mundane sources concur. Over the next rather disgusting hour with direction of Locate Object the gland required is extracted from the wyrms back. As it is revealed, you can feel the heat pouring from the gland. The creature may be dead, but the lingering heat from this particular gland is tremendous. Currently it feels as if you are next to a lava flow. Handling and carrying the thing over for the next several weeks across the tundra could be problematic. It certainly cannot simply be scooped up and dropped in a bag.
A small side conversation takes place about the clutch of eggs. Could there be a mate and could it be nearby?
Rill (MarkB) HP 93/93 - AC 23/13/21 CMD 21 Thursday December 1st, 2016 12:48:57 AM
Rill takes a piece of cloth and touches it to the gland to see if it catches fire. He moves over to the eggs and looks at them. Are they hot? How big are they? Do they seem to move? How heavy are they? He tries to carefully pick one up.
"Well, those eggs weren't affected by the heat of that monster. Maybe we can crack one open and use the shell to carry this thing that's too hot to handle. Anybody up for an omlet?"
"Hey Tishe, why do you keep calling us black handed? I don't think that means what you think it means."

Tishe' comes on down as the gland is extracted and the heat comes out in waves. "Well! We won't need to weave a fire at night, that's for certain! "
The sorceress has a couple of possible solutions. The first is to try Clyde's idea and to cast Shrink item on the gland. If that doesn't work... "I can weave a series of Fire Resistance spells over the person to carry the gland to last an entire day's march. "
The sorceress is confused by Rillet's question for a minute, then laughs as if sharing a joke. "Maybe it is that YOU dont know what it means, sweetie", she replies to Rill. "You are all decent, trustworthy, and hardworking people. Like people who work the land and their hands are always dirty; they have Black Hands. See?"

After using his spell and carefully extracting the object of the quest, Zeoll is careful to pack the magic giblets away carefully. He is still sad to think that the party's object is to close the gateway between Bonetown and Ice Vein. But a demigod cannot be denied.
Zeoll tells Tishe to feel free to try her Shrink spell, but he is very doubtful. "My underrstanding of that spell is that it fails when cast on magical objects. And this is no naturral heat; it is clearrly magic. Still, strrangerr things have worrked in this Wold."
Rill's excellent eggshell case idea may be workable, says Zeoll, though it seems a shame to kill the baby wyrm in the egg. Does anybody have a Fabricate spell to turn the egg into a box? He wonders aloud who would buy these eggs, and at what price, for the right customer.
Zeoll also voices the chance that a mate is nearby, and suggests moving away posthaste!

Clyde grins at Terser's answer. "Good to know for future encounters! Or if this one's mate returns. Speaking of, anyone here an expert at tracking? Perhaps we should ensure that this dead one's mate isn't going to catch us unaware. If we carry its egg, perhaps it might even be able to track us by scent long after we've gone. Might be best to kill it now."
DM Dan K - The ja’Kollu Iss’Wyrm - That wasn't such a Chore Thursday December 1st, 2016 11:06:09 PM
A discussion is had on how to carry the fire gland. Tishe thinks of but quickly dismisses magical protection from fire. It would be like carrying lava.
Using one of the eggs comes up. It may work and the only stopping point is Zeoll current reluctance to use one as it would mean the death of the egg, but then again it is only an egg and may not even be fertilized or developed and thus no different from eating eggs at breakfast.
The egg conversation bleeds into could they be valuable. The short answer is almost certainly, but who would you trust to sell them to to hatch one of theses things, which is really the only logical result of buying one.
What of the mate? Could it track you by the scent of the egg like some crazied super dinosaur of the Cthonian jungles? Unknown.
Did you slay the male or female and what could be the issue depending on the answer to that question? Again, the group is not sure
Tishe tries and find Zeoll's reasoning sound, the gland is somehow still magical and her spell fails to shrink it.
Using an egg as a container seems the most likely route

She takes her time, making sure the hair is weaved into rope and then the rope is woven into a net to place eggs, and then taking two eggs like oven mitts, picks up the gland and places it in the carefully woven net of eggs. ....

Rill raises an eyebrow at Tishe's description of being black-handed. "Well, coming from Bonetown, I can tell you that having your hands dirty is not the hallmark of a good heart. Rather the opposite, I would say. But I take your meaning, and thank you for the kind compliment." With little more than a thought, he wills his white robes and furs to clean themselves.
He watches with interest to see this special egg-shaping skill the Sargrass sorceress is purported to have. As he watches Tishe, and considers the remaining eggs. He will cast a Divination spell, asking, "What will be the effect of bringing some of these eggs to the Village of Ice Peak?" (81% chance of success. Rolled a 13 - success!)
------------------------- Divination - Similar to augury but more powerful, a divination spell can provide you with a useful piece of advice in reply to a question concerning a specific goal, event, or activity that is to occur within 1 week. The advice granted by the spell can be as simple as a short phrase, or it might take the form of a cryptic rhyme or omen. If your party doesn't act on the information, the conditions may change so that the information is no longer useful. The base chance for a correct divination is 70% + 1% per caster level, to a maximum of 90%. If the die roll fails, you know the spell failed, unless specific magic yielding false information is at work.

The group sets on a plan to transport the dangerous gland. Using parts of the wyrm and eggs to do so. Tishe is able to weave a carrying basket that will hold a few of the human head sized eggs and the fire gland. The entire process takes several hours and during so, Rill decides to try and divine what might happen if the eggs were taken to Ice Peak. The answer comes to his mind, "Your story will be secured, beyond that the freedom of will clouds all."
Reggie checks about the cavern and finds an oddity about one wall. A rather large section, perhaps 30' across is slightly discolored. Nearly twice as large as the hole and passage the group came down to fight the Wrym. She also finds a nearly fist sized white gem stone embedded in the wall maybe 6" deep.

Rill shares with all there that the answer to his Divination question, "What will be the effect of bringing some of these eggs to the Village of Ice Peak?" was, "Your story will be secured, beyond that the freedom of will clouds all."
"Well, it looks like we need to get these eggs to Ice Peak."
He will walk over to the discolored wall Reggie mentioned (assuming she does,) and will pull out his morning star and tap on the wall with it. No intent to do damage just yet, just looking to see if it's particularly soft or fragile.

That's a mighty shiny stone, Reggie. A bit large to fit on your finger though. Maybe a fancy pendant?

Clyde finishes his melancholic tune, still unsure what Zeoll and Tishe really had in mind. Shrugging, he looks around the ice cavern, wondering what everyone was up to. It'd sure be nice to get back to a warm place, he thought.

Tishe' sits back, elated that she was able to help the Lionfish heroes "and I didn't even need Magic to do it! It sometimes feels that fighting and Magic are the only solutions. It is nice to remember that there are other skills. "
The sorceress listens intently to Rillet and nods. "Yes, I see I'm going to have to weave my words more carefully when we are back at Bonetown. I don't want some beater to get warped up from a misunderstanding "
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC20; HP62) Monday December 5th, 2016 8:34:39 PM
Zeoll smiles at Tishe and Reggie and exclaims over the value of the gem, whatever it is.
He suggests that after gem extraction -- which he leaves to Terser -- it is time to go.

Reggie gathers the group and points out what she found. Rillett taps the ice and finds it quite solid. Extracting the gemstone discovered by Reggie, though, is not very difficult. It is still, after all, ice.
The group now has a gemstone, a basket with a tremendously hot piece of a ja’Kollu Iss’Wyrm and few eggs. The passage back is about an hour of walking and then the near vertical 200' shaft and the group will be back onto the tundra.

Reggie was lost in a daydream at the discovery of the gemstone. though she has no idea the true value, she doe know it is something that any girl wold love to receive from a special someone.
regarding Terser "It really depends on the giver of the gift, even a small cut would make me happy if given by the right person" she glances toward Jozhur
The trip back Reggie kind of hints about gifts but makes no real demands nor claims of any treasure.
Zeoll smiles at Reggie. He says not a word, however, but does take point, shield in hand, and leads the group back the way they came.
He keeps his eyes open for danger and his nose ready for enemies. Perception 27, Survival 27.

Tishe' offers the gland bag to someone stronger than herself to carry, and walks back with the heroes to the entrance 200' feet above them to the tundra.
"I've got one last trick I can weave. I have enough magical power to Dim Door up and Featherfall down to bring the whole team up to the top. That is, unless someone else has another suggestion?"

Jozhur stares at the gem with his mouth agape. "That's an Ice Diamond, it's quite valuable." He blushes at Reggie's comments, and gives her a wink so she knows she's not being ignored.
Appraise: 20

That wasn't too bad, Clyde thought to himself. The journey from the village to this place wasn't as blistering cold as it was to get to the village. Got a vigorous battle in, a massive diamond-looking type of rock, and now heading back. All in all, not too bad.
Clyde set out in a good mood, whistling as he looks around the area as if looking at it for the last time.
DM Dan K - The ja’Kollu Iss’Wyrm - Of Eggs and Glands Tuesday December 6th, 2016 10:33:51 PM
Jozhur knows the value of the diamond and lets the others know.
The trek back through the tunnel is slow going upon the extremely slippery surface of the curved ice tunnel. All magical protections and spells cast, save Endure Elements, have faded. It takes nearly 2.5 hours to get back to the section of the tunnel that slopes upward and eventually out. The shaft is dark above and in front of you.
Tishe has an idea on using Dimensional Door and Feather Fall to ferry the group to the top
Soon after, the group is on the surface next to the hole. The river is about 200 yards away to the groups rear. The pine forest expands out to the left and right for at lest a mile. In front of you the wood thins over the next 100 yards before opening up to the open white tundra. The sun above, in the clouds, marks the day at just past noon. The great cliffs and waterfall is the the groups left, about 4 miles away.
Is there a way to cut across the open space and find Ice Peak, or will you need to back track and scale Mt Bal to retrace your original path?
