You examine the items, and correctly identify the scarab as a scarab of protection.
You examine the materiel in the laboratory for anything dangerous and/or valuable. It would appear that the equipment and components are rather expensive, but you doubt that it would be worth anything to anyone other than a monstrologer. You have a niggling suspicion that finding another reclusive antisocial hermit would not be a productive use of time.
Examining the mural proves far more fruitful. You are momentarily surprised when the mural begins moving as you approach! The figures in the mural animate, and perform repetitive actions giving a small amount of life to the scene (like a medieval GIF). You detect no other magic, and it appears to be a simple novelty.
Drawing the mural away from the wall reveals a faint outline in the stone indicating a very well-fitted door. You see no obvious handle, but a firm push causes it to swivel effortlessly. Probable dwarven-make, considering the excellent balancing.
[You do not locate any traps prior to opening the door.]
The door is quite large, perhaps 15 feet square, and swings open to reveal a 20-foot-wide tunnel that spirals into the mountain. It slowly slopes downward, and disappears about 50 feet ahead. It is quite dark.

"Well if there's no food to be had, I see no reason to delay heading down the dark passageway. Tink, care to lead the way?"

"Neat," says Restlin as he identifies the scarab. It goes into his pouch along with the pearl. He spends some time moving back and forth, observing the effect. "That's also pretty neat," he adds.
He's ready to continue, putting himself in the middle of their marching order.
Sesha watches the others, her face twitching with impatience. Once the way is clear, she moves to the front, ghosts in the lead.
"I'll not walk downwind of the minotaurs, thank you very much. Servants, scout ahead and report back anything strange. Keep a hundred feet in front of me. If your master hears you, you'll regret it."
She points at Faith.
"Take care of those with injuries."
The girls give each other a puzzled look, then put their heads together in hushed whispers. A few moments later, Faith bows with an exaggerated flourish.
"Yes, my mistress!"
Faith channels and heals those still hurt, before taking a place near Restlin in the marching order. As Sesha starts heading down the path, the ghostly cleric stifles a giggle.

Tink whispers to the others "I really don't like that mural". As much as she doesn't like it, she doesn't think she could destroy such an artwork.
When Sesha orders the servants to scout ahead, Tink grins and gives a little curtsy "Yes mistress".
She fades in with the darkness and starts moving ahead - no more than 30ft in front of the party, and flying 5ft off the ground.

Restlin looks sideways at Sesha as she saddles up next to him. "Well spoken, matron," is all he says, a slight grin on his face.
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 190/190 CMD = 22 d20+28=35 ; Tuesday April 4th, 2017 9:25:46 PM Hmm, we have a long, spiral passage going downward into a mountain. Between Dwarven architecture and Teucri technology there is no limit to how far down this could go... or it could just be about 50 feet. I'm not sure that it would be worth buffing until we get to the end of this passage. Beri examines the back wall and the ceiling for traps, just in case something is rigged to release a giant boulder or a flood of water after them once they start their slow descent. perception=35

The horned cleric observes the mural. Someone put a lot of time into that...I do not like it. Any chance it is a trap or spying on us? Turing from it he collects remains from the slain creatures. Such unusual foes. From each he takes some bone, flesh, scale or blood and places it in the center of a reliquary (holy symbol) to keep as a trophy. Sesha, you might want to collect some of these as reagents for your spells. I would get them for you, but I do not think your magic allows me to do that for you. He then watches as Restlin pockets the Scarb. Put that to good use.
Bosk looks at the passage to determine its width, and ponders the unusual configuration of party members. Typically he is second in line, using his reach to fight over the heads of those in front of him. Shrugging he takes the next spot back and draws his reach weapon (20ft reach) in order still be able to attack over and around the others.
The cleric keeps blinking as he moves and watches for danger so as to not get caught flat footed...but he doesn't watch too closely. (Perception = 23, perception for traps = 24)
DM Tanner Tuesday April 4th, 2017 11:24:24 PM
The tunnels spirals through the stone of the mountain for several hundred feet. It is studded periodically with torch sconces, through they are unlit. You continue downward until you notice the air become moist.
Dungeoneering DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: {You are near sea-level after descending this far.}
You come to another door. The tunnel widens and meets the hinges, nearly 40 feet across. The door is solid bronze banded with iron. After inspecting for traps and magic, finding none, you swing it open.
The doors open to a massive cavern. It is a rough oval nearly 1000 feet long and 400 feet wide. Most of it is flooded, and an opening at the end of the cavern at the level of the water echoes with the sounds of the ocean. On your right-hand side is a stone pier that runs the length of the cavern. The pier is worked stone and 20 feet wide. About 800 feet down the pier is a single ship. It is a caravel, made for long distance voyages.
Of note, it appears that the ship's sails are made of blue fire. Yes, blue fire. It shimmers and roars without burning the wood. There are figures moving on the top deck, but are too distant to be seen. There is almost nothing to hide behind between you and the ship, other than retreating to the tunnel. It is likely only a matter of time until someone sees you if you stay in the open.

When Sesha mentions not walking downwind of the Taurs, he looks around innocently and then nudges Zane, "I think she means you. And that maybe you need a bath." He shrugs as the group heads down the stairs and brings up the rear. As they pass the different torch holders, he looks at them with interest and wonders why they are not lit.
As they enter the large cavern, he quickly spots the ship with the flaming sails. His jaw drops open as he stares at the incredible ship. "Oh, that is beautiful!"
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 294/147 | CMD 22] d20+18=30 ; Wednesday April 5th, 2017 12:26:26 PM
Sesha stops at the end of the walk and crosses her arms. Her exposed eye glimmers with anticipation at challenging the those on the ship, but something stops her from blatantly announcing their presence.
"I shall wait for the scout and the servant to report back on those ahead. Myrth, you go with the halfling first, to test whether or not they can observe invisibility. Hope, Faith, and Joy shall remain here in the tunnel with the rest of us."
She casts a side glance at Restlin.
"It is only practical concern chosen for a suitable mate that stays my assault. This cavern would be a suitable habitat for both a nest and a treasure hoard. There would be no need to submerge our treasures like the wyrms we dispatched earlier."
Myrth snorts away laughter, and floats forward to scout ahead.
Myrth: Perception 30.

Dungeoneering roll is autopass.
"OK then," says Restlin at Sesha's ponderings. He's content to let Myrth and possibly Tink go scout ahead, but not too much. These aren't thugs they're dealing with, and invisibility is likely a minor inconvenience to them, if that.
He ponders what's up with those sails, though. That's something new.

Tink flies a few inches above the water, merging with the shadows as she does so. She looks down into the water to see if there are any signs of life, or even a current.
She's happy to move as far as 100ft ahead of the party provided she can stay in the shadows.

Tink and Myrth the Ghost travel forward cautiously. Tink's arcane sight sweeps over the waters and stone pier, but there is little to see in the waters besides small fish.
You continue forward. After perhaps 200 feet, still 600 feet from the ship, you spy a magic aura. Your arcane knowledge identifies it as an divination effect.

Between her natural ability to be stealthy and the Mind Blank spell she has in place, Tink is somewhat confident she will not be detected and moves forward a little further - 450ft from the ship if darkness is abound.

Restlin keeps his mouth shut, communicating with Sesha over their link instead. "Stuff's going to get pretty violent in a few moments, I imagine. If you've been waiting for a moment to confess your everlasting love for me, this is probably it." He slips his arm around her shoulder and waits for Tink's report.

If the team is spotted, Zane is ready to cast Hast on the rest of the group..... It'll aid in getting there as well as in dealing with whatever happens.....
Embarrassment and indignation ripple across the coven link, and for a moment Sesha looks as though she might recoil away from the Mage-priests familiarity. Somewhere though, in the back of her mind, she realizes this is a situation she's shared with him often, and no offense should be taken.
She bristles a little, but strangely winds up closer to him than where they started.
"Be pleased with your station as future mate and paramour, Restlin. If not for that your death would have been swift and sudden, accosting me like so in public.
She leans in towards him, her one good eye focused and bright. Raised up on her tip-toes, she continues in a very silent whisper.
"Listen well, ruffian. This heart of mine beats thrice. Once for Serenbeth, with whom I made pact. Once for my people, both blood and kin. And once for you, whom I love. An elven heart eventually stills, but this one will have labored for you for 10 of your lifetimes before it finally retires. If that is what everlasting love might be to a human, then you have it."
She plants soft dark lips on his, then falls back onto her heels. She beckons her ghosts and prepares for combat once more, so distracted that she fails her next spell.
Sesha: Spell fails.
Hope: Resist Energy: (Take your pick) on Zane. (3rd level) Faith: Resist Energy: (Take your pick) on Bosk. (3rd level) Joy: Resist Energy: Fire on Sesha (3rd level) Myrth: Stopped at Tinks command, and is waiting further command from the halfing.

Well, I think it's safe to assume this group is going to be dead set against letting us pass peacefully, lets be ready for this.
Beri floats 5 feet off the ground and makes, and follows the group making sure to keep enough space to make it hard to hit everyone in one attack.

Myrth the Ghost stops moving forward, lacking the natural stealthiness of the the halfling. Tink continues forward, defeating the keen perception of the eldritch eyes. They scan frenetically, darting back and forth in a thin band across the cavern.
She advances to within 450 feet of the ship. The rest of the party advances 195 feet (Tink was okay at 200 because she is sneaky), just out of sight of the prying eyes.
[If you do not want to advance, just state so.]
Tink squints and tries her best to make out what she can. She sees four figures on the top deck. Three are working frantically to ready the ship to depart. The fourth stands imperiously, pointing about the ship and barking commands.
Perception DC 45 for Tink. DC 60 for everyone else. Highlight to display spoiler: {You recognize two of the figures.... DeRais the wizard, and the wizard/rogue from the attack on your new castle!

Lady I am pure class," he says through their rings after kissing her back. He could feel the vitality stolen from her enemies, the energy radiating out from her. Wardd help those poor fools on that boat if they decided to combat her...
Restlin usually hates this part. It's the part where he and his friends try and be sneaky and catch the enemy by surprise, only to find they've been expected. This time...this time feels different. Maybe they actually can get the drop on these folks. They're obviously in a hurry, but from what?
He does a check of his gear and reviews his spells. He's spent a lot of his magic getting this far, but he still had a lot up his sleeve. He also has that pearl they found, plus he could still use his amulet to cast any spell from his book once. He taps his maximize wand too, one more use there. He takes a moment to thank Wardd for his good luck so far. The robe, the scarab, the pearl...all good finds.
Remembering their previous combats with these folks, Restlin will cast resist energy (acid) on himself.

Tink holds her position.
"Son of an orc! De Rais is here. And someone in a dark heavy robe. I think it could be Taurbane" Tink relays silently over the telepathic link "They haven't noticed me yet. I think we have the advantage."
She responds to Bosk "Those eyes could be programmed to return if attacked or if they see something unusual. I wouldn't risk attacking them just yet. Is there a way you can get past them? Teleport, dimension door or dark walk? Then again, you could try going underwater but there's no telling what's down there. If you can get past the eyes we can have the element of surprise."
"And why am I getting warm, fuzzy feelings through the link?"

Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 145 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Monday April 10th, 2017 9:39:21 PM My offer still stands. If we want to just drop in, I can teleport us in. Just be ready to fight the second we land.
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 294/147 | CMD 22] Monday April 10th, 2017 10:49:48 PM
"Necromancer. Here."
Sesha offers a Death Ward (CL 14) potion to both Restlin and Tink, the most likely to suffer ill effects from the spells that it protects.
"Also, here."
Sesha gives both Bosk and Zane a potion of Spell Immunity.
"Pick a spell when you use it. Good luck making the right choice. Also, dispel magic wont work as a target, nor will something like disjunction, as this spell is basically unbeatable spell resistance. So pick something that ability applies to."
Sesha then hands Beri a potion of Spell Resistance (CL 15) and drinks one herself.
"Better than nothing."
Finally, she gives Garret, Bosk and Zane potions of Heal (12th level).
"Just in case."
She uses a scroll of "Shield" on herself, and then uses a scroll of "Shield Other" on Restlin. Finally, she activates her prayer bead of Karma, saying a soft prayer to Serenbeth, raising her caster level a little higher.
"I'm ready."

I'm ready to attack when you guys are, but I think you need to close the distance first"
DM Tanner Monday April 10th, 2017 11:53:45 PM
No sooner do you begin discussing tactics in earnest... that the hooded figure spins about on a heel and looks in your direction. The figure raises a hand, snaps its fingers, and the others on the deck stop their preparations and look about in danger.
Knowledge (arcana) DC 29 Highlight to display spoiler: {A target who is aware of your presence at the first sign of imminent danger is likely under the effects of a foresight spell.}
DeRais casts a spell, and a shimmering bubble of energy appears in a 20 foot sphere around him, covering most of the ship.
Spellcraft DC 83 for the party or DC 68 for Tink. Highlight to display spoiler: {He has cast dimensional lock.}
The rogue-wizard casts a spell, and disappears.
Spellcraft DC 79 for the party or DC 64 for Tink. Highlight to display spoiler: {He has cast greater invisibility.}
The lumbering, thick figure opens a nearby box and removes a greatsword. It waits in a guard stance.
The hooded figure looks at the other two as they cast their spells and nods in satisfaction. It raises a hand and waves in your direction.
"Come, come!" The voice is feminine, but has a very strong rasp. Almost what you imagine someone would sound like if they were forced to drink boiling water and their vocal cords scarred. "I know you are out there! I claim the right of parlay!"
The hooded figure gestures to the gangplank connecting the ship to the stone pier.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:38/34/31; +4 vs AOO HP: 152/155 Ki:14/19 CMD: 37 SR: 26] Tuesday April 11th, 2017 8:44:58 AM
"Well, she did say parlay, so I guess we should go listen."
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +17/+7/+14 CMD: +19 HP: 192/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 15/21 SR: 20 d20+34=42 ; Tuesday April 11th, 2017 9:39:35 AM
Restlin's instinct is to just start throwing down, but he remembers Mhalice. His gut wasn't right there either.
He looks to Sesha and downs the potion she gave him before turning to the gangplank. "Parlay's more of a suggestion than a right, but what the heck!"
He begins flying over, hopefully with the rest of the Iron Dragons. He does his best to size up the situation as he approaches.
***
Sense motive: 42 - looking for any signs of treachery As a reminder, Restlin has a permanent see invisible spell.
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 294/147 | CMD 22] Tuesday April 11th, 2017 2:49:20 PM
(Note, Sesha also has Foresight. Is there any pricklings of murderous intent at this moment? A trap?)
Sesha is a bit surprised they were figured out so easily. Still, there was lots about magic she didn't know. She moves forward with Restlin, fairly confident in her defenses.
Spells in Effect.
Permanent: True Seeing, Resist Energy (Acid), Mind Blank, Foresight, Bears Endurance, Cat's Grace, Bull's Strength
Other spells: Resist Energy: Fire (30 mins. CL3), Greater Immortal Summons (18 minutes. 4 Ghosts.

(Sorry, I would have made this all small but I forgot the codes)
DM Tanner - Your foresight is definitely tingling, though you don't know if they plan on harming you in offense or defense.
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 214/240, Blindsence 60' Character Tuesday April 11th, 2017 8:37:10 PM
When the rest start from the door, Zane goes with them, since his normal protectee is way out in front of them, he'll try and stay near Restlin, so he can use his Bodyguard feat.
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 190/190 CMD = 22 Tuesday April 11th, 2017 9:21:15 PM For Parlay, if she invoked it isn't she supposed to come to OUR leader? Based on all the deception and cowardly tactics that have been used are we really going to walk into her ship and... oh, I guess we are.
Well, I suppose that's part of the job description when you're the good guy. We have a code we have to follow. Beri follows them, but prepares to cast Dispel Magic (Greater) if this appears to be a trap (and of course, assuming magic is involved in said trap).

*posting for Bosk* Bosk looks deep into her soul using Question Spirit to determine if this is a trap (they cannot lie to the grim, although are not forced to answer ). Tell us M'am, is there any trap planned if we follow you? Is this a true parlay with no ulterior motive? If so, we will be happy to join you.
Bosks follows up with the others via their linked rings If she doesn't answer, it's a trap... in that case let's not just walk into it.
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 33/23/25 -- CMD 22 -- HP 176+24/176 -- Spells -- Active Effects Tuesday April 11th, 2017 10:56:24 PM
Tink stays hidden in the shadows. She has no intention of revealing her position just yet. If the others wanted to parlay, then fair enough. Tink will cover their backs.
"A couple of spells have been cast and one of them has disppeared" she relays over the link. She looks carefully to see if the one that disappeared has teleported away, or, has turned invisible.
-------------- Tink has nooooo chance of making those Spellcraft checks, so will just skip those :) Ready action: If anyone looks to be casting a spell targetting someone in the party, Tink will cast Gtr Dispel Magic as a counterspell
DM Tanner Tuesday April 11th, 2017 11:50:58 PM
The Iron Dragons make their way slowly and carefully down the stone pier. Various divination magics and magical vision fail to detect any protections other than the prying eyes spell. The floating orbs become panicked as you pass through the spell, but do no harm.
You approach the ship and stop short of the gangplank. You are approximately 50 feet from the figures on the ship. They have made no additional moves or cast additional spells, respecting the universal terms of parlay.
Those with magical vision do not see the mage-rogue.
The hooded figure takes a step back, and turns slightly, staring off into the distance.
DeRais steps forward. He face is dark and sneering. "You are trespassers, Iron Dragons. Trespassers on holy ground. One of the sanctuaries of Gargul. Why do you tempt fate by assaulting his chosen? Can't you see you are on the wrong side of history? All you have managed to do is cull the weak from our faith. What do you expect to gain from this brashness?"

Garret ponders the idea that while they may be trespassers, this fellow here tried to kill them. He figures that's not quite even... yet...

Restlin looks sideways at the idiot before them. He turns to Sesha and asks "is he for real?" He doesn't wait for an answer, turning back to DeRais and repeating the same question, "are you for real?" He points a finger at the guy before continuing, "you attacked us just outside our tower just a few days ago. Remember that?"
He pats Bosk on the back. "I'm gonna let this big guy yell at you about this whole Gargul business, but you don't get to pull this 'why me?' nonsense with us, mister."
His eyes light up as he remembers something else. "Oh, and curse the lot of you for what you did with that monster guy. I don't know what kind of nonsense religion you folks are involved in, but in mine, we don't take kindly to people who abuse the mad."
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 294/147 | CMD 22] Wednesday April 12th, 2017 12:08:40 PM
Sesha didn't want it to spiral out of control too quickly. Curiosity, like a sudden itch, smashes against the link. Anything to do with divinity sparked her curiosity, and she wanted an answer or two. She looks at Restlin, then back to DeRais and the lich.
Restlins question burns on her mind. "Are you for real?" She hesitates, then adds. "Dabroc wasn't real clear. Are you taking a divine spark and growing it, or just changing the power base by shifting worshipers"
She sighs.
"We both know this is probably going to end with one side or another winding up dead, so for the sake of the knowledge, maybe you could indulge me?"
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 214/240, Blindsence 60' Character Wednesday April 12th, 2017 12:32:50 PM
Since the group is together again, Zane is ready to use his Bodyguard ability as needed for whomever needs, he also tries to hone in his blindsence to determine if that missing person is anywhere within 60'. If he sences him/her he'll keep the group alerted as to the general location of the "feeling"
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 190/190 CMD = 22 Wednesday April 12th, 2017 9:15:05 PM
Beri looks down at Bosk... then down at his shadow, or rather lack of shadow. It seems to me, Bosk, that you come bearing an undeniable proof that you have found favor with Gargul. Well, I can't talk to her in this form, but anything I could say would lack the authority that would come from the Shadowless Cleric anyway... hmm, that has a nice ring to it.
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 145 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Wednesday April 12th, 2017 9:44:09 PM
Bosk steps forward, deciding to lay all his cards on the table to see what he can learn. I AM a CHOSEN of Gargul. The Lord of Life and Death himself initiated me into his service. I am his hands as well as his Eye. My shadow hangs in his throne room and he has blessed me with his Eye. I have permission to enter his holy grounds, as do those in my company.
I was sent because there are those in your service hiding from him and interfering with his will and he is ...concerned. As for myself, I know the dual nature that is Gargul. His past and his present. Death and re-birth. Execution and deliverance. Unless I miss my guess, you are trying to restore his former nature and subdue the current.
My mission is to determine what you are up to. I need to know if your "chosen" are being deceived or if there is a chance Gargul's other nature is reaching out. If it is blasphemy and heresy putting the Wold in danger I must stop you. If it is actually Gargul...I need to know.

DeRais waves his hand dismissively. "Yes, yes, we are all impressed with your accomplishments, Mr. Bosk. You are held in very high esteem by the submissive side of Gargul. The side that cultivates weakness and calls it mercy. The side that encourages profligacy and calls it charity. We abhor that side." He folds his hands in front of him and shrugs. "You have seen our handiwork. Our servants call upon the name of Gargul and are rewarded with power. If Gargul does not know what Gargul is doing... then I would only surmise that his awakening side does not want to be impeded." He smiles. "Sometimes a madman does not understand his own dreams, and how could we mortals comprehend the madness of a god? Gargul will not know what hit him... but in the end he will accept it."
"Enough." The hooded figure with the scarred voice turns and regards the party.
"I was expecting you sooner. I grew tired of waiting and started taking care of something else and... well, you know." The figure brushes her gloved hands against her robes to wipe off dust. "Since we're all here, we might as well get started." She reaches up, pulls back her hood, and reveals her face. She is undead. Her head patchy and gray, her eyes are milky white, and her skin mottled and scarred. She smiles, and her skin makes a rubbing sound like saddle leather.
You hear Bosk suck in his breath. "It's her. The lich. Vivian Taurbane."
Vivan gives a mocking bow and a flick of her hand. "The same. Bosk and I have history, don't we? I murdered his mother." She furrows her brow and rubs her chin inquisitively. "Now, why did I do that?... I'm sorry. I've been around for so long and killed so many... Bah. It doesn't matter. All minotaurs look alike, anyway." She smiles, revealing a mouth full of blackened teeth. "And your poor father was found guilty of her murder. How delish. I'm sure you miss them. Well, miss them no longer, Bosk."
Vivian claps her hands, and you hear a sound coming from under the deck. A rumbling, scraping noise. "I took a little jaunt down to your old stomping grounds. I knew we were going to see each other again, and I thought I would make it special. Because, you know, it's the little things that count. This took a lot of effort, so I hope you appreciate it."
You hear heavy footsteps from below deck coming up stairs. Two skeletons emerge onto the top deck. Minotaur skeletons. They walk with an ungainly gait.
"Ta-da!" She motions with both of her arms. "It's them, Bosk! At long last, you are reunited with your parents! Cenoios! Adatia! Come say hello to your son!" The minotaur skeletons snap their attention to the party and begin lumbering toward them, small points of red light flaring in their eye sockets. Vivian smiles. "Oh, I will cherish this for a long time. Please make it memorable."
ooc: Please note the gangplank is sized for Medium creatures. Proceed at your own risk.

Zane casts Haste, catching everyone at the pier and then takes flight, ending up hovering just above the deck at the back of the ship. (top deck, squares left of the stairs and center of 3rd deck on map)
Over the link, "Any chance of disrupting the magic of the ship itself? If I could have, I'd have cast anti-magic field or whatever it's called and rushed the up the gangplank, but that's beyond my magic abilities...."

Tink flies a little closer. "Yep, looks like the fight is about to start"

Garret ponders for just a moment why the rest of the enemy hasn't started attacking with spells and everything they have. He only waits a moment, then quickly scrambles himself around the others, up the gangplank, and onto the ship at the top of the gangplank.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +17/+7/+14 CMD: +19 HP: 192/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 13/21 SR: 20 d20+19=32 ; d20+24=32 ; Thursday April 13th, 2017 9:44:10 AM "We'll figure that out if they live through what we're gonna unleash on them," is Restlin's answer to Tink. These folks are too dangerous to hold back.
First things first: he's too bunched up w/ the rest of his friends. He flies off to the northwest, hovering over the water. A green beam fires from his hands, striking DeRais.

Bosk shrugs with icy cold indifference as the skeltons approach. Those mockeries of life are not my parents. They are but abandoned shells left behind. I know Gargul has my parents safe in his house.
ooc: Bosk does not care if you obliterate the skeletons.
Disappointment crashes down on the link, follwed by sadness, to a lesser degree. Poor Bosk.
"Fine."
Sesha flies northwest, setting down on the furthest aft edge of the flagstaff. DeRais was a powerful opponent, and she didn't want to waste more time than necessary on him.
"I'll strip his magic. Girls, distract him."
Sesha Summary Move: Move to end of flagstaff. Standard: Greater Targeted Dispel Magic on DeRais. Dispel Check: 41. Will strip 4 highest level magical effects. of CL 30 or lower. Pot-pot: Circle of Protection from Evil on Sesha and Self.

Well, I suppose diplomacy has never gotten us anywhere, guess I better prepare for a fight. Beri starts channeling a heal spell into a summon greater air elemental, grateful that the skeletons no longer bare any real resemblance to Bosk's parents.

You talk about Gargul's wishes, but to my knowledge even the older nature of Gargul was against the undead. Bosk quickly casts magic circle against evil centered on himself as he messages the group, Do we need to take down the dimensional lock to use dim door, blink, dark walk and a few other of our usual tactics?
Turning back to the others he yells, So much for your parlay.

The rogue-wizard (named Rodrigo) climbs over the railing (to those of you who can see through invisibility) and casts a spell.

Restlin's spell does not affect those near Rodrigo.
Sesha's spell fails to find its target.

DeRais casts a spell and targets Zane. Zane feels his mind taken over by the wizard!

The massive boom shocks Garret, but only momentarily as he quickly moves towards the rogue. He rushes past the skeleton and moves to try and shove the fellow back where he came from, over the side.
OOC: AC vs. AAOs: 42 CMB for bull rush: 25. Crud. If by some miracle that exceeds the Rogue's CMD, he goes over the side. Otherwise, he just stands there with Garret ending his move right there in the middle around everyone. Oh wait, on second thought, can I use a hero point to re-roll? If so, that new roll is: 27. Ugh.

Zane feels the enchantment spell try and take over his mind, but now he has an idea..... *I think he tried to enchant me. I have no clue what spell, so if someone will inform me it'll help, I'm going to try and bluff my way for a bit, it may let me get closer......Just so you know.* said over the link. (spellcraft 20)
(Save vs Dominate should be a 37(forgot to add the +2 from Zane's own ability against enchantment spells)
Bluff 18 to pretend that he is under effect of an enchantment so Zane freezes in place and hopes a friend fills him in on what spell it was. (if informed it was dominate, he awaits an order)

Fort save 38 - pass. All skills autopass. Also, I cast dimensional anchor on DeRais, not dimensional lock. It's not an AoE spell and only effects DeRais.
Also, I have SR20. Did Viv roll to penetrate it? ***
"Dominate monster, Zane. If it worked, you'd be waiting for an order."

Bosk hears anti-magic field being cast and turns in that direction trying to determine if he can see the caster.
(Is the caster now visible since he is in the anti-magic field? I assume yes, but want to be sure before attempting a bullrush.)

Guess again...." Tink sends a dispel at Vivian. It may not have any effect now, but when the Antimagic field is gone she's going to know about it.
"Just in case, SNAP OUT OF IT ZANE!" Tink yells through the link. If Zane IS dominated, she will try to offer him some aid.
Tink moves closer to the battle, and then seeks the safety of being underwater.
------------------------- Fort Save vs DC26: 26 = Pass. Just... Spellcraft check vs DC23: Autopass Spellcraft check vs DC24: Autopass Spellcraft check vs DC24: Autopass
Standard action: Cast Gtr Dispel Magic on Vivian. I think the AMF suppresses "but does not dispel it". Dispel check 36 dispels the 4 highest level spells on Vivian with a caster level <= 25
IF Zane is still dominated: Hero Point action: Cast Prot from Evil and have it delivered by the Spectral Hand to Zane. Zane receives a +2 morale bonus and gets to make a new save. Further, even if he fails, it "does prevent them from controlling the target". Since no commands have been issued to Zane, I think it means no new ones can.
Move action: Fly northeast another 30ft then 10ft downwards (should take her 5ft underwater).
Questions: - What area is the Storm of Vengeance affecting? Is the BG in the area? Is any part of the ship? I'm assuming the flying skelly is since everyone in the party had to make the save.

Restlin sees his options are limited. He has only a few attack spells left, but they're powerful. He wants to save them.
"Well," he thinks to himself, "if I can't attack them, I can at least cripple their escape." He begins summoning some help to do just that.

Beriothian looks around... the last few seconds seem to have taken an hour to process in his mind. Well, if this is round 1 he's going to make round 2 work harder than going up a few steps. Taking a moment to survey the ship, the air elemental cats wall of stone, extending the stone over every passage to the lower end of the ship, hoping it will slow future waves down joining in, and give them advance warning as they have to spend time breaking through the barrier.

If SR is defeated. Fort Save: Success 29 vs DC 26
If Skeleton weapon and BG (Is BG undead?) weapon is magical. If not magical, no damage. Ghost 1: Defeated. ( 23hp, but takes half damage from corporeal weapons. AC 16)
Sesha considers her options, frustrated that the dispel didn't work. That one felt pretty strong. She decides to go ahead and push hard. Concentrating, she funnels woldsblood through her magic, shapes it, then forces it into reality in a spray or blood red liquid.
The cone burst will affect all 4 enemies bunched up in the anti magic zone. It should still avoid the Bull Rushing halfling.
Reflex Save DC: 26 or take 5 wisdom damage. Save for half. In addition, Will Save DC: 26 or be dazed for 6 rounds, or 4 rounds if save is successful.
-Undead save at -5. -Per description is instantaneous conjuration, and functions with an anti magic field.
Ghost 1: Dead. Ghost 2: Attacks BG. Hits touch 16 for 12 damage. Fort save 17 for half. Ghost 3: Stays near Sesha. Delays until after enemies in case Sesha is afflicted with something. Ghost 4: Stays near allies on pier. Delays until after enemies in case they are afflicted with something.

Not fully sure what the boat is supposed to be used for Bosk decides to try to take it out of commission as quickly as possibly. Picking up a small orange bead throws it at the ship. Not at the top where Vivian is standing, but down towards the bottom of the ship just a bit above the waterline so that as the hull burns through the ship will start filling with water and the flames will easily be able to spread and climb up the boat.
Acitons ------------------ Throw bead from Type VII necklace of Fireballs for 10 d6 dmg at boat just above waterline. (Attempting to sink boat, cook and drown anyone inside)
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 145 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Sunday April 16th, 2017 8:52:30 PM
Bosk waits with anticipation to see if the boat will burn as easily as the numerous buildings the group accidentally set on fire or had to attempt to put out after any enemy directed a fireball at it.
ooc: For anyone asking, Vivian rolled a 54 for penetrating spell resistance on her last spell.
Bosk - identifies the rogue-wizard Rodrigo as the caster of antimagic field. He throws a fire bead at the ship. It has no effect, almost as though the ship were entirely immune...
Garret - is incredibly lucky in his bullrush attempt (his CMD is 26!) and Rodrigo goes flying over the railing.
Zane - dives into the water for a bath!
Restlin - flies forward and begins a summoning spell.
Sesha - (ooc: Skeleton is not magic. Big Guy is magic.) casts a spell. She misses Rodrigo, having been pushed overboard. She also misses Vivian, who goes overboard voluntarily. The skeleton appears unaffected. However, she catches DeRais straight in the face.
Ghost 1: Dead Ghost 2: Fails to hit. Ghost 3: Stands ready. Ghost 4: Stands ready.
Beriothian - summons a wall of stone to narrow the battlefield, and his summoned air elemental tries to overpower the enemies with high winds. Unfortunately, summoned creatures wink out if they enter an antimagic field.
Tink - casts greater dispel magic, which sticks to Vivian and will affect her as soon as she is outside the antimagic field.
=====
Rodrigo falls into the water, and starts trying to climb up the side of the ship.
DeRais stands there, unmoving. He looks at Zane and concentrates to order him. "Hey! You! You are filthy and smelly. You need to bathe yourself in the water. Right now."
Vivian casts a spell. The stone pier is shot through with towering flames.
Spellcraft DC 23 Highlight to display spoiler: {She cast fire storm}
70 fire damage for Bosk and Beriothian. Reflex DC 23 for half damage. Creatures that fail their Reflex save catch on fire, taking 4d6 points of fire damage each round until the flames are extinguished. Extinguishing the flames is a full-round action that requires a DC 20 Reflex save.
After casting her spell, she turns and jumps over the side of the boat! She sinks into the water and is lost from sight.
Ghost 1: Dead Ghost 2: Flanks BG w/Garret and attacks. Hits Touch AC 17 for 15 damage. Fort DC 17 for half. Ghost 3: Moves out of the Darkness and heals Bosk, converting a 2nd level spell. (Bosk heal 13) Ghost 4: Heals Beri, converting a 2nd level spell. (Beri heal 16)

Garret laughs in surprise as he is successful in his bull rush, knocking the enemy over the side of the ship. Then he stands there a moment wondering why everyone else is jumping ship. He only thinks for it a moment as he ducks the blows from the other beasts on the deck. He turns to the skeleton, hoping he can remove it from the battle quickly with a flurry of blows.

Bosk feels the waves of heat crash down on him as blinks in and out of reality. Despite his magical protection he feels the waves wash over him, and he digs deep (hero point) to fight off the flames.
As the smell of singed fur fills the air the Horned Cleric grabs an iron circle and launches it at Vivian
------------------------------ Reflex save = 23 (bonuses for haste and proximity) Throw Iron Bands of Binding at Vivian Hit Touch AC 33
When the proper command word is spoken and the spherical iron device is hurled at an opponent, the bands expand and then contract to bind the target creature on a successful ranged touch attack. A single Large or smaller creature can be captured thus and held immobile (as if pinned) until the command word is spoken to bring the bands into spherical form again. The creature can break (and destroy) the bands with a DC 30 Strength check or escape them with a DC 30 combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check. Iron bands of binding are usable once per day.

Tink swims 15ft closer to the ship and then rises out of the water. She quickly notices a few enemies are unaccounted for. "Did the party take care of half the enemies on their own? Go Team!"
Tink casts a Telekinesis spell and attempts to grapple the big guy, but instantly knows the spell is not her best.

Restlin finishes summoning a large water elemental. In aquan, he calls out, "there's a male minotaur down there named Zane. Help him do whatever he's doing. There's also a female minotaur down there, don't confuse the two."
That done, he notices DeRais outside the anti-magic circle. He should be dimensionally anchored now. He pulls out his maximize rod for its last use of the day. "Focus on DeRais. Let's take him out while the other two are separated."
He calls on Shiny to make him smart, then aims the rod at DeRais and intones the magic words pew pew. A thin green beam flies towards him.

Unless Zane sees Vivian, He'll power attack the bottom of the ship. He doesn't flurry, he just attacks with his fists and rakes his horns across the bottom as well. (28,20,23,18)

If the ship is protected, perhapse those flaming sales can be of some use. He casts wind wall, shaping it so that it blows the flames towards the attackers, aiming for BG S1, S2 and D

A cold satisfaction fills the empathic link between the Iron Dragons. DeRais was an old foe, and a particularly vile one. Restlin is pleased to see him dispatched.
His satisfaction is short lived as he's pummeled by rocks, though fortunately the lightning that strikes him goes through one of the boulders first, dampening the effect. He asks Shiny to help make him a little quicker to avoid the next attack.
Restlin calls out to Garret through their mental link, "Watch out, Garret. Rodrigo just cast a true strike spell. It doesn't last long, so make yourself scarce for a few seconds." He then casts a glitterdust spell between Rodrigo and the skeleton just to the south of him.
He then floats away from the ship a bit, in case Rodrigo decides to go after him instead.

Garret watches as the rocks fall and the lightning flashes around them, striking the ship, but not him. As he turns and attacks, he wonders if by attacking the ship, they are helping these creatures. Then he wonders if the rocks are falling on the bad guys as he continues attacking the skeleton, hoping to finish it and turn to the big guy while the others deal with the magical and invisible things going on.

Zane avoids the spell effects, mostly because he's under the boat. (made the saves w/evasion) Just before he strikes the ship again, he looks around to see if he can spot Vivian, the others mentioned she went overboard.
If he spots her, he will charge her to grapple her. (Grapple 41vs CMD)
If he can't see her (darkvision as well as the 60' blindsense), he strikes the ship again..... (forgot haste attack last round)

Out of brilliant ideas, Bosk calmly relays over the link, Someone grab my iron rings or remind me to grab them before we leave.
A split second later his eyes go red, hackles raised and teeth bared. The cavern shakes, as though all hell is trying to force its way up through the ground as it echos with the bellowing with the rage of a decade of pent of hate. Madly he charges forth, taking advantage of what remains of his fly/overland flight spells and crashes into his parent's reanimated remains and forces them back, hoping to push them back far enough to slam him into Rodrigo and force him over the ship's edge. Mother, protect your son this one last time.

Rodrigo takes a 5-foot-step and stabs at Garret. (Attack 44, Damage 17) He is subsequently knocked over the railing of the ship by Bosk, and grappled in the water by Tink. He begins to sink, unable to free himself from the telekinesis spell.

Zane dives after Rodrigo, letting Katinka's grapple hold him, he just punches him. He considers for just a moment, but as the pinch is flowing towards the side of his head, he switches from going to hit with his knuckles to hitting with the palm of his hand. (non-lethal damage)

Garret watches with satisfaction as the skeleton turns back to a pile of bones, then watches Bosk fly by to knock Rodrigo into the water as Rodrigo gets in a quick slash on his arm. He shrugs and wonders if there are any shark in these waters as the hail begins to fall. He then turns into another blur of arms and legs as he attacks the big guy.

Bosk - needs to make a Perception and Knowledge (arcana) check to identify the Big Guy.
Garret - turns his attention to the Big Guy and lets loose with fists and feet.
Zane - swims over and starts pummeling Rodrigo.
Restlin - dives into the water, looking for Vivian.
Sesha - summons a ragdoll golem, which proceeds to attack the remaining skeleton. She zips out of the darkness and waits.
Beriothian - finishes summoning his water elemental and casts faerie fire. The water elemental tries to pursue Vivian.
Tink - maintains her grapple on Rodrigo

Rodrigo tries to cast a spell, but fails horribly. He is trying his best to hold his breath.
DeRais is super dead.
Vivian does something unseen.
One of the water elementals needs to make a Fortitude check.
The entire ship shudders and rumbles. "INITIATING EVASIVE MANEUVERS!" The sails of blue fire shimmer and ruffle, and the vessel moves.
Straight up.
It rises until it hovers 5 feet above the waterline. The eyes of the dragon-head prow glow a dull red and smoke plumes out of its nostrils.

Bosk braces as the big guy attacks him, but the blow is deflected to the side due to his magic circle against evil. All around him hail drops, some right through him as he blinks back and forth. [b]Does anyone have a scent ability or something that can detect Vivian? She should be our only goal at this time. Cut off the dragon's head and it shall die.[b]
The Horned Cleric looks at the Big Guy, trying to determine what he can about him, What race is he. What does he look like, and what weapons is he using. Suddenly the ship issues forth a warning and for a moment he worries the ship will explode, but then he figures it is more likely the attacker or water around the ship will be be affected. Once again he charges forth this time attempting to push the Big Guy back into the water...but is slips on some ice on the ground and stumbles (Natural 1).

Tink maintains the grapple on Rodrigo. It takes all her concentration to do so, and she can't cast any further spells while grappling the rogue.
"So, um, for those that can't see it right now... the ship has risen out of the water"

Seeing the dragon's eyes glow and nostrils smoke, Bosk runs towards the head, kicking the fallen rocks ahead of him. Laying his hands on them he casts Shape Stone and uses them to encase the dragon head in stone.

FRIDAY'S POST
Bosk - fails to identify the Big Guy... but he realizes that the ship is in fact an enormous, intelligent golem! He casts stone shape and encases the head of the ship in stone.
Garret - wails on the Big Guy.
Zane - pummels Rodrigo.
Restlin - goes underwater himself to search for Vivian.
Sesha - has her golem take tiny hits against the floating skeleton, while she keeps watch for spells to counter.
Beriothian - continues to search the depths. Unfortunately, a spell takes hold of his summoned elemental and it is torn apart.
Tink - assists in the demise of Rodrigo, holding him still while others savage him.
=====
Rodrigo struggles, gurgles, and goes limp. A few bubbles and a stream of blood flows out of his mouth.
DeRais is super dead.
Vivian is spotted! You see her walking along the bottom of the cavern, weighted down by her armor. She's trying her best to put distance between her and the ship.
The remaining skeleton continues to float helplessly.
The Big Guy buckles under the continued assault and goes down in a heap on the deck of the ship. Curiously, you notice there is no blood coming from any of the wounds.

"I see her. She's walking along the bottom underwater here. I'll try to slow her down, but we need to start taking her out before she gets away."

Hearing that Vivian has been spotted, Bosk jumps over the edge of the ship (flying) after her. When he gets close enough he casts dimensional anchor on her.
Actions ------------------------ Fly as close to Vivian as possible and cast dimensional anchor on her.
DM Tanner Monday April 24th, 2017 11:56:41 PM
ooc: The fight is essentially over, so we are going to a narrative style.
Between the dimensional anchor from Bosk and the forcecage from Restlin, Vivian is thoroughly stuck. She turns and hisses in anger, ready to cast a spell. She stops, however, perhaps realizing that she would be affected by any attempt to destroy the cube. She stares at you with dark contempt as you draw near.
With the combined efforts of the rest of the party, you easily destroy the remaining skeleton.
Vivian will be stuck for 15 rounds. What do you do?
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 33/23/25 -- CMD 22 -- HP 176+12/176 -- Spells -- Active Effects Tuesday April 25th, 2017 4:13:29 AM "Perhaps you should do the talking this time, Bosk. If it helps to threaten her, you can remind her that I can dispel any magic she is using to breathe underwater. I hear drowning can be unpleasant"
In Tink's mind there is no way she is going to stand between Bosk and Vivian. All she can do is stand by and try and keep the collateral damage to a minimum.

Garret, still on the ship, watches the last skeleton drop. He looks around and listens and realizes everyone else is under water. He stands on the ship a moment, continuing to listen, imagining he is the captain of the ship, sailing the seas with flaming sails...

He swims over and sits cross-legged on top of the forcecage, wanting a good vantage point between Bosk and Vivian.

Over the link, *Headed topside to deal with the ship* Zane swims up and when he reaches the surface, he then flies up and lands on the Deck. Using his shipboard knowledge, he takes a brief look around. A flying ship is obviously different from what he's used to..... (Profession, Seaman 9)
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 132/190 CMD = 22 Tuesday April 25th, 2017 9:18:05 PM Well Bosk, it looks like you are up. Make sure to find out if we can now talk with Gargul before we get too far into this. Also, remember that on top of betraying the Gargul you follow, she also broke a Parlay. Beri hovers above and waits to see what she has to say about all this, and waits for answers regarding this flaming ship.

Those who can breathe underwater travel to the forcecage. Vivian scowls and sits cross-legged on the floor of the cube. She closes her eyes and bows her head.
14 rounds remaining.
=====
The ship remains floating five feet above the water. Zane lays a hand on the helm, and you hear muffled words coming from the dragon-head prow.
"Mph. Mmmm-mph. Mph-mph mph mph mphhhhh."
It is still covered in stone. The words sound polite and calm.
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Wednesday April 26th, 2017 12:43:33 AM
Bosk inspects the cage and makes note on if it has solid walls or bars he can attack through.
Vivian, you have lost. This is your last chance. Tell us where we can find The Death Dragon. You only hope of winning is that it can convince us.
Over the link he speaks to the others, Is there a way to attack Vivian through the force cage?
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 33/23/25 -- CMD 22 -- HP 176+12/176 -- Spells -- Active Effects Wednesday April 26th, 2017 7:53:34 AM
Tink is a little surprised at Bosk's words. Was he planning on being lenient with a lich? Not just a lich, but one who had animated the skeletons of his deceased parents? Regardless, she answers his question...
"Spells should work normally on her. Well, as normally as they can on a lich. Keep in mind that as soon as she dies her form will start to regather at her phylactery"
Tink pauses and continues her thoughts over the link
"Wait... why would she try and escape from us? She could have fought to the death and just reformed safely later. I'm thinking her phylactery must be nearby and she felt threatened."
Tink stays airborne above the water and keeps an eye out.
"Oh, and if someone in the water wants to bring some of those corpses to the surface we can check over them for clues"
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 142/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 11/21 SR: 20 Wednesday April 26th, 2017 10:51:36 AM "Spells can be cast that manifest inside it, but you're not gonna stab her through this cube anytime soon...well, in about a minute and a half there won't be a cube."
Restlin asks his water elemental friend to take any corpses laying around to the surface for Tink to look at. He's not leaving until he knows what's going to happen here.
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Wednesday April 26th, 2017 12:04:58 PM
Over the link, *Do I just smash the stone, or can you get rid of it. I believe it's permanent, right?* If the answer is yes it's permanent, Zane will take and smash the stone off the head, trusting the ship will remain polite.....
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:38/34/31; +4 vs AOO HP: 123/155 Ki:14/19 CMD: 37 SR: 26] Wednesday April 26th, 2017 4:12:53 PM
Garret pets the ship as if it is a small dog. He says, "I'm sorry about the stone. We're going to get that off as soon as we can." He then starts wandering around, exploring the ship to see if there are below decks and what might be down there.
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Wednesday April 26th, 2017 7:59:24 PM Are you planning to free that construct and hope that the evil incarnate ship will not attack us? You realize I still plan to kill Vivian, right? We are just trying to get some information so that she stays dead this time. I swear, if this come back to bite us in the butt I am going kill you myself, get Gargul to bring you back and kill you all over again!
The cleric returns and withdraws his shape stone scrolls. [i]These are my last scrolls...I will take the hood off long enough to see if it is friend or foe, but if this thing turns on us it is going right back on and I will dismantle it piece by piece.
I am taking your hood off, under the understanding that we do not wish to fight and are looking for a peaceful resolution with you. The cleric then removes the stone helmet.

Beri looks at the ship and does his best to judge it's intentions before Bosk removes his spell. He will warn Bosk if this appears to be a deception, but he has a hunch that the ship was only protecting itsefl.
DM Tanner Wednesday April 26th, 2017 11:55:26 PM
The stone is lifted from the dragon-head prow. The wood creaks and moans as the dragon turns to regard you with one glowing red eye. ”Ahoy, masters! Welcome aboard the Starblazer! Please state a destination. To repeat your previous journey, say, “Repeat my previous journey.”

Vivian continues to sit and scowl. She does not respond to your questions. At the announcement of the ship she gives a worried glance, but quickly hides her emotions.

Tink will start slowing moving the floating corpses from the water to the deck of the ship. Anything Bosk has to say to Vivian is between the two of them.
She looks about for some blankets or canvas or something to throw over the skeletons of Bosk's parents. He shouldn't have to see them like this.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 166/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 11/21 SR: 20 Thursday April 27th, 2017 10:12:09 AM
Restlin's glad that the boat's nice, and that it has an autopilot.
"Awesome, that means we don't need this idiot in the box alive. She'll be out of there in about a minute, or I can just drop the box. Let's get ready to pummel her to death and see if that boat either contains or takes us to her phylactery."
Sesha watches Vivian for a moment more, then makes her way to the boat.
"Myrth, tend to the others and then your free to go for now."
With a bit of a grin, the Ghost gathers everyone together and expends what healing she has left.

Garret smiles when the ship talks to them, and he almost blurts out a destination, but stops himself at the last moment. Instead he wanders below decks to explore the ship.

Beri thanks Myrth for the healing, and continues to haver above where the lich is. Can someone with a voice ask where the previous destination was, and the estimated time to arrive? We may want to plan accordingly. With a little luck we'll have a long journey to recover, but with magic sails it could be almost instantaneous.
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Thursday April 27th, 2017 10:41:57 PM Vivian is not cooperating. everyone gather around. I want someone with a silence spell prepared ready to cast it on her when the cube is taken down. I have some silence scrolls, but the caster level might not be high enough to be effective on her. After that we attack until the only thing left of her is that cursed phylactery.
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Thursday April 27th, 2017 10:46:40 PM You are right, the ship might be able to take us to her phylactery. If it is close, then the Vivian will respawn in or near near her lair, with access to all her resources. If it is far away, she does not have that. However, if it is close, it is easier to find, and if it is far away, she pretty safe. This ship might give her the best of both worlds.
DM Tanner Thursday April 27th, 2017 11:57:44 PM
Bodies are herded toward the stone pier, plans are made, and the party gathers. Not everyone is gathered at the cube, but it appears you are prepared to dispatch Vivian.

Restlin will take one of the silence scrolls from Bosk. He casts the spell on a copper coin and drops said coin near Vivian, but out of her reach. He then swims to just outside its influence.

Untrusting of the undead creature before him Bosk moves as close as he can to Vivian and looks at her closely to make sure she is not about to pull something. He then waits, adrenaline coursing trough his veins as he waits for the cube to drop. As he does this a thought occurs to him, Was anyone able to identify who or what the "Big Guy" was?"

Bosk's mind kicks into overdrive as he tries to predict what Vivian's next move might be. Carefully he watches her hands and lips, watching for any indication of trickery and prepaing to stop her actions if necessary. Highlight to display spoiler: {(I assume others will try to disrupt spells, but Bosk will try to interrupt casting and prevent objects from being activated by disarming them or grappling her as a held action or other action deemed appropriate by the DM if she has something else up her sleeve. I will use a hero point if necessary).}
The blond taur smiles as he bares his long teeth, the grin never quite reaching his eyes. As he approaches I am the Hands of Gargul and Jancassis Vengance. You have betrayed my god, killed my parents and called forth my VENGANCE. Lord grant me the strength to vanquish my enemy! (Bosk casts righteous might on himself doubling in size from large to huge) and eases to within 20 feet of Vivian (Bosk has a 30 ft reach now).
Chanting some sacred prayer his tattoos begin to move across his body. Lady of Vengance, send forth your power! a legion of scaled scorpions come to life (tattoo swarm) and crawl off his skin towards the force cube, their thousands of moving legs skittering towards her as they are drawn to her decaying flesh and trice doomed soul.
Lord Gargul, Bless your servant as he carries out your will! Another prayer is uttered and his eyes glow and his sword steadies with an unerring aim. (cast true strike on myself to ensure and attack can be blocked with a disarm, grapple or other combat maneuver)
ALL LIFE HANGS BY A THREAD, AND I AM THAT THREAD!!! TONIGHT YOUR SOUL SHALL BURN IN THE FIRES OF THE WOLDSBLOOD AND I SHALL FEAST UPON IT!!!
Actions ---------------------------- Observe Vivian to determine her course of action and react to negate it if possible and she is a threat (Sorry I cannot be more clear without knowing what she is doing over 5 rounds, will use a hero point to stop her if necessary since she is my nemesis)

Move within striking distance Cast righteous might on Bosk Cast True strike on Bosk Send Forth Tattoo Swarm to envelope Vivian when the force cube comes down and direct the to swarm her (free action to control them. I would like them to hold an action to swarm her upon the cube collapsing) Hold action to use an atk action (CMB if true strike affect it) on Vivian to stop her if she tries anything. +2 for blink +1 haste, +3 nemesis insight, +1 hero's feast +20 true strik Hit AC 5!!! if it is an atk for 17 dmg + 18 sneak + 5 bane = 40 dmg
Highlight to display spoiler: {Treat the swarm as a Spider Swarm with 16 hit points and with distraction and poison save DCs of 25 (see Swarm in the 3.5 Monster Manual). The swarm uses the avenger's base saving throws. The avenger triggers the swarm as a supernatural ability that requires a standard action. Thereafter, the avenger controls the swarm as a free mental action. An avenger in the same space as his swarm is unaffected by it. The swarm must stay within 25 feet of the avenger. The swarm lasts for ten minutes or until forced more than 25 feet away or until destroyed. But even if disrupted or destroyed, the diminuitive tattoos reform on the avenger the next morning. At the avenger's choice, the diminuitive tattoos can be concealed under clothing or exposed on hands, face, etc.}

MONDAY POST (apologies for the late post)
Seeing you prepare for the release of the forecage, Vivian casts a series of spells.
She casts entropic shield, meld into stone, righteous might, dispel evil, and blade barrier. The spell effects combine in a blur of magic between Vivian and the force wall.
5 rounds left.

The hair on Garret's arms goes up as he watches from above the water. He can feel the large amounts of magic flowing all around. He glances around wondering if they might be attracting attention from anyone or anywhere else (perception: 41).
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Tuesday May 2nd, 2017 3:59:12 PM
Sesha still waits for the same trigger, holding her breath before everything explodes into chaos.
Tink continues to wait. As soon as the force cage comes down she will dispel Vivian's meld into stone spell
---------------- Standard action: READY action to cast Gtr Dispel Magic on Vivian as soon as the wall comes down. Dispel check: 18. Boo

Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Tuesday May 2nd, 2017 10:43:51 PM
Bosk ponders how Vivian could grow to hue size, meld into 15 square ft of stone, and erect a blade barrier all within a 10ft square force cage without damaging herself.
Quickly he tries to determine if she is currently large or huge sized (this effects her reach and ability to get AoO against Bosk), and if she is in a cube of stone protruding from the ground taking up the space of the force cube, or if she sank through the force cube and is in the ground below where the cube stood (which is what I am picturing).
Lastly he checks to make sure the blade barrier is open on top and that he can fly or swim down through the top of them without getting hit.
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Tuesday May 2nd, 2017 10:57:50 PM
Bosk waits a moment to see if Vivian is forced out of her stone prison. If she is he will use his previous held action to atk her. If not, he will descend upon her and cast shape stone to push the stone partly through the blade barrier so that the blades hit is and she can be hit by players without them having to cross the blades.
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells 3d6=12 ; Tuesday May 2nd, 2017 11:03:18 PM
If Bosk atks: Hit AC 55!!! if it is an atk for 17 dmg + 18 sneak + 5 bane = 40 dmg
Dmg if Bosk casts Shape Stone = 12 dmg (plus 5d6 dmg and expulsion of Vivian if the blade barrier partially destroys the stone)
Under Meld into stone: "Stone shape deals 3d6 points of damage but does not expel you."
DM Tanner Tuesday May 2nd, 2017 11:57:30 PM
The forcecage is dismissed.
In a blur of motion, magical energy, and martial skill, you set upon the lich. Despite her protections and enhancements, your blows and spells are lethal in their effectiveness.
In the open air, you would have heard a cacophony of steel and magical explosions. But in the water of the cavern, all you hear are muffled booms. Vivian screams silently in the dark water as the negative energy sustaining her undeath is torn from her in flashes of black lightning. Her body crumples and floats to the floor, leaving her equipment in a pile and filled with bone dust.
The battle is over.

Garret watches the waters swirl underneath him and looks back over at the ship, wishing he could see more magical things.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 166/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 13/21 SR: 20 d20+31=33 ; d20+36=38 ; Wednesday May 3rd, 2017 8:20:15 AM
Restlin gathers the stupid lich's things & heads back up to the ship where they can talk again. "Good riddance," he says. "Now let's find that phylactery before she comes back. We should search this ship first, then head back to its previous location if we can't...we should probably do that even if we find her phylactery."
Spellcraft: 33 - what was Viv carrying? Perception: 38 - Anything aboard the ship? Using my Lucky Find ability here:
The DM secretly rolls a d12, unmodified by luck points. On a 1, nothing is found. On a 2-5, something non-magical and not obviously useful is found. On a 6-9, something non-magical and useful is found. On a 10 or 11, something magical but not obviously useful is found. On a 12, something useful and magical is found.

Tink's jaw drops and she has to blink a few times. She sure is glad this group is on her side.
She takes a moment to compose herself and clear her throat "Er, right. Ok then. Let's grab her things and get them onto the boat. Her body will already be starting to reform at her phylactery."
Tink will cast Prestidigitation on anyone who is wet in an attempt to dry them off.
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Wednesday May 3rd, 2017 8:44:38 AM Do not grab anything yet! Who has detect magic prepared? We weed to scan everything before touching it. The last time we encountered a phylactery it possessed Beri. I do not want that happening again....and please, examine my parents when you get a chance. Bosk takes a moment to scan everyone and everything with death watch to determine if they are living, dead, construct, etc.

Sesha finds Restlin and ruffles his hair.
"Well done, as usual Mage Priest. That went a little easier than expected."
She motion for her last Ghost to get to work. "Heal the human please, Joy."
Joy nods, then goes about her task.
Restlin: Heal 20hp.
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 161/190 CMD = 22 Wednesday May 3rd, 2017 9:12:21 PM I have detect magic prepared, let's just take a quick look... Beri casts detect magic and scans everything before them, letting the group know whether there are any magical items before them.

DM Tanner Wednesday May 3rd, 2017 11:42:40 PM
The party uses various detect abilities on the equipment, and do not find a phylactery.
Restlin searches the ship.... and finds surprisingly little. There are several crew quarters and storage rooms, but there is almost no equipment, no food or water stores, and no navigation equipment.
However, there is a chest of goodies in the captain's quarters.
The phylactery is not on the ship.
The dragon-head prow swivels over and peers at the location of Vivian's demise with one glowing red eye. A puff of smoke billows from its nostrils. "Previous master controls terminated. Initiating administrative protocols reset. Processing." It's red eyes flicker and small puffs rise into the air. When it speaks it sounds much more cheerful and lively. "Greetings, new masters! I am the Starblazer, and I am at your service! Please state a destination. To repeat your previous journey, say, "Repeat my previous journey."

Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Wednesday May 3rd, 2017 11:44:34 PM
Bosk waits for the others to check everything for magical auras before collecting some of Vivian's ash and putting it in one of his reliquaries.
The Horned Cleric then walks solemnly over to his parents (assuming the detect magic did not detect anything on them) and places the holy symbols of Gargul and Jancassis around their neck. Silently he takes out a bottle of his father's Sacred Blue Wine of Imod, the last bottle he ever produced, and takes a sip before passing it around the group. He then pours the remainder over his parent's remains as he recites the ancient death rites of his people. He then carefully wraps the bones in a blanket and puts them in his bag of holding until a proper re-burial can take place.
As the bones vanish from sight a change comes over the cleric. It is as if a sense of peace washes over him and a weight is lifted off his shoulders. The year of seeking vengeance, the hate eating away at him. All of it suddenly lifted from his soul. For a moment he allows his eyes to slide out of focus and peer into the spirit realm, watching Vivian's soul depart. Although he knows Vivian's phylactery will likely draw her back, for now his vengeance is complete...and as he watches her soul leave slip away he feels the vestiges of his humanity slip from the very fibers of his soul begins to unravel.
It is a strange feeling, to lose one's dual nature as the body and spirit knit together and form one unit...becoming an outsider with his essence being infused with that of another plane. He has just a second to wonder if this is a higher or lower state of being before he feels Jancassis claiming him. Dual citizen of the Wold and the Shadowlands, Paladin for the Dead. For her help in aiding him in his vengeance he shall forever be her agent where her domain and Gargul's intersect. One of the few Grim Avenger's to ever obtain this honor...or pay this price...
Highlight to display spoiler: {This is more a psychological/mental change from getting his revenge. He is not an actual Agent of Vengeance until our next level up.
(Note that Bosk's family were vintners of the Blue wine of Imod and such were legally sanctioned to have the Sacred Blue Wine of Imod.)}
