The Ascent
Meeting with Gargul


Gargul, Lord of Life and Death (CDM Cayzle) 
Thursday July 12th, 2018 6:24:04 PM

How will Gargul reach you in your Mansion sanctuary? Or even outside it? Please.

As it turns out, the god does not come to you. You are not surprised to realize that you are going to him. Greatest living heroes of the current Wold? Again, please.

The sound of a thousand waves crashing, the sight of a thousand whirling stars, the feeling of your body being squeezed through cheesecloth, and you find yourself in the realm of Gargul. A vaulting, infinite hall with floor and ceiling of roiling gray clouds. The physical presence of Gargul is intimidating, though he just appears as a man in black robes, seated on a gray granite throne. He is frowning, with his chin resting on his fist.

Does his stern lip quirk as he sees the mug of ale in Beri's hand? I mean, the one in Gargul's hand. He takes a sip. "Yes, that is a nice gesture, follower of the fey queen."

Then his face grows stern again as he looks at you. "We need to talk." His voice is a thunderous basso profundo.

Sense Motive DC 0 Highlight to display spoiler: {You get the feeling he is not in a good mood. Despite the ale.}

Perception DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: {You notice that Gimp has made himself scarce.}

What's the right approach here? Some of you are direct followers. Others *cough*bloodwitch*cough* maybe less so. Subservience? Humor? Fellowship? Polite distance? Is it time to offer greetings?

Beri notices that Gargul isn't happy. He looks around to see if Gimp's expression can provide any clues, but can't seem to find him... that may not be a good sign.

Under the circumstances, the druid decided it's probably best to let some of Gargul's followers speak first.

With Bosk, one of Garguls most devout followers, in the room. Sesha decides to keep quiet for now. She's heard Bosks line about his shadow being nailed to Garguls wall many times, and she was curious how much good will that was worth.

She steels her resolve a little, Serenbeth help her, she hadn't done anything worse than usual to put the chief god off that she could recall. In fact, they had killed quite a few liches lately. Maybe that was worth something.

Instead, she kneels. He was a god, and even if she was technically working every loophole around as many of his rules as seemed possible, she knew he deserved respect.

Bosk looks at Gargul, but is unsure what to make of his mood. Is he exhausted from from dealing with a higher number of dead than usual, processing some sort of bad news terrible enough to shake the gods, or could he be mad at the Iron Dragons for some reason.

The Horned Cleric takes a step forward and places a fist over his breast as he bows before the god of Life and Death. It is a sign of the utmost respect, he equivalent of kneeling for a minotaur as cloven hooves prevent them from genuflecting as other bipedal creatures do.

Lord Gargul, we have dealt with the Bloodgrass threat to the best of our abilities. From what we can tell the Sar threat has been neutralized and his followers scattered and crippled.

From what Gimp informed us, the Sargrass is back in the Wold. If it is not asking too much, could you give us a message for the mother of the child we interceded for, Gimp told us "if the Sargrass was brought back into the Wold, then you would have a role for this little one. A destiny and a purpose." I can only imagine the mother's loneliness and am sure your words will help ease her mind.

Also, is there anything that must yet be done to prevent such devastation from returning and the cult from reforming?

Zane hears the questions about the Sargrass and the recent battle, he approaches and bows his head in respect to Lord Gargul.
"Bosk, I expect that Lord Gargul has more on his mind that the Sar and what just happened. I expect he wants us to finish up with the Death Dragon Cult. I'd like to finish up with them as well."
With that said, Zane bows as shown in the Monastery he was raised to Gargul and steps back in respect.

Tink maintains a kind of reverent silence. She stands as a soldier might when told "at ease". Her feet evenly spaced apart, her hands clutched behind her back and facing ahead..

She has faith that Gargul - like Pantheon - will fairly judge both the deeds of the party and of herself. She doesn't believe she has done anything to cause offence to him, but who knows how the mind of a god works?

Not being asked a direct question Tink remains silent and still.

Sense Motive DC.. Highlight to display spoiler: {Please. There is no DC Gargul couldn't hit :) Tink feels quite proud of the achievements of the party to date though is trying her best not to appear directly so.}

Restlin has spent enough time around Gargul to be comfortable in his presence, but he has a serious abundance of respect for the god of life and death. He shows this by keeping his mouth shut and letting his followers address him. He looks around for someplace comfortable to have a seat.

If no such place exists, he goes to stand next to Garret, making sure he doesn't cause any problems.

As they are pulled through space, Garret lets out a "Whoool...poooooo" sound as they arrive in the throne room. Completely not prepared for the travel or the squeezing, he falls and lands flat on his face. Without getting up at first, he rolls his head left and right, trying to identify where they are. He pushes himself up to a seated position and opens his mouth to say something, but stops when Restlin places a hand on his shoulder.

Wyaar winces slightly at the transit to Gargul's realm and tilts forward in a bow of respect to the God, but lets Bosk, his follower, do the speaking for now.

It sounds like the Wold may not be safe just yet.
Our breather may need to wait a little bit longer.

The druid takes a sip of his ale and prepares for whatever bad news may await.

Gargul, Lord of Life and Death (CDM Cayzle) 
Saturday July 14th, 2018 1:37:32 AM
Some arrive with a bump and a nod. Others are more respectful. Did the Iron Dragons do something to offend the god?

Seriously, it takes no ranks in Know Religion to know that if you had dome something, you would know it. No, this is a more serious matter than the vagaries of mortals. You Iron Dragons are tools, at least this time.

He explains so that you will know what he needs. He waves his hand and the clouds under your feet shift and reform into chairs. "Be seated. This will take some time. The crystal you destroyed was an artifact of immense power. It's sole purpose was to hide from my perception the activities of the Death Dragon Cult. Even their very existence was hidden from me. The veil is lifted from my eyes, and I see the truth."

Gargul stands and paces in front of his throne as he speaks. "As you suspected, I am not the source of the divine power of the Death Dragon Cult priests. There is another Power who is deceiving them, masquerading as me. He is granting them spellcasting powers. He is the founder of their order. He assisted them in constructing the artifact. He impersonated me so cunningly that even dedicated priests with years of service were deceived. He was able to impersonate me because he knows me like no other. Because he is my creation. My son."

He stops and turns. "It is Kevintar."

He pauses to let that sink in.

Gargul resumes his pacing. "After my ascension into divinity, I was tasked by Alemi with being a judge to the Noble Races. I accepted my task. It suited my character. However, in the early days of my godhood, I was still possessed of the passions of mortality. I still had the thoughts, convictions, and drive that I had when I was a conquering warlord. I lacked the patience of experience. In those days I was not content to work through mortal agents as the other gods. When a threat to the Noble Races was found, I wanted it dealt with immediately. I created the twin punishers of the gods -- Marteaus and Kevintar. Marteaus was headstrong and brash. Kevintar was a stolid follower who never questioned. When the gods talked about evil and how to begin influencing the Noble Races to confront such evils, I would act impulsively and send out my punishers. I imbued them with evil to face evil. And it worked. They accomplished missions throughout the Second Age with beautiful efficiency."

He narrows his eyes as he continues. "But then Domi learned what I was doing. He confronted me in front of the other gods. Demanding me to repent! I refused to repent for being effective. To assuage their sensibilities I agreed to end the use of my punishers and seal them away in a prison. A tower was created. The Bone Tower. It is centered in the Shadowlands and is in fact the physical centerpiece of that plane of existence. It also has a presence in the material Wold and the Estates of Unrest. It is necessary to have it exist simultaneously in all three states to prevent intrusions or escape. I created a pair of seals -- the most powerful seals in existence -- to guard their prison. Over the four ages of the Wold, a handful of vagabonds have wormed their way into the tower, looking for treasure, but they never reached anything important. I closed the tower after each breach. That was merely an inconvenience."

He shakes his head slightly and continues pacing. "Before the Year of Ascension, the Sons of Dread tested their soul-draining artifact. They could not control the flow of energy, and it fed an enormous amount of power to Bone Tower. It woke Marteaus. He broke his seal, escaped, and began the Year of Ascension. Marteaus, free and without restraint, was uncontrollable and obsessed with testing the Noble Races to prove them worthy or unworthy. He believed they were flawed and would never achieve their potential without repeated tests, both individuals and nations. He saw his earlier work as acts of righteousness. This was even more true now that he would allow his test subjects to conquer the tests -- becoming strong and able to meet life's threats without continuing to fail. This work, however justified he may feel, is evil. Evil that is in need of judgment."

He stops pacing and turns to face you. "Kevintar, on the other hand, has had to work very long, very hard, and very patiently to break his seal. It would not even be possible had the breaking of Marteaus' seal not weakened his own. Over four ages of the Wold, he has forced a crack. A thin seam through which his influence can spread. He touched the minds of men, posing as myself, and founded the Death Dragon Cult. Their purpose, unknown to them, is to break his seal. Soul energy can empower him just like Marteaus, but he is siphoning the energy from worship rather than death."

Gargul sits on his throne and scrutinizes you for a moment. "The Death Dragon Cult will continue to spread heresy and feed energy to Kevintar. Destroying them will prove difficult. As long as Kevintar can touch their minds, they will persist. Their names and faces may change, but they will continue their work." He leans forward and his voice becomes grave. "If Kevintar escapes, another Year of Ascension will occur. Blood and ashes will cover the lands. He must be stopped before he reaches his full power. I need you, the Wold needs you, to break Kevintar's seal and release him."

Kevintar! Gargul is sending the party after Kevintar! Tink had no idea that the Death Dragon Cult had become so dangerous. She can understand now the threat that is posed to the Wold.

She is able to follow most of the story and piece together the parts that were unclear. However it is the request that surprises her the most.

"Beg pardon, my lord, but did you just say you wanted us to release Kevintar?"

If Gargul deemed it so then Tink would no doubt follow of course. She will not doubt the will or wisdom of a god.

Beri is hesitant to ask his question, but decides it does need to be asked.
If Kenintar was able to deceive even the most dedicated and knowledge followers, how do we know this is real and not another deception to trick us into releasing the seal for him?

Monday July 16th, 2018 12:16:41 AM
Bosk nods as Gargul informs the group of the task at hand. Lord Gargul, I understand you wants this cult rooted out, and of course we are willing to help. To help ensure we succeed, could you tell us more about this undertaking? What is involved with releasing Kevintar? Will the are be protected by undead? Are we likely to face the cult, Liches, Vampirres, and what the like. Most importantly, what do we do once we free Kevintar? Do you mean for us to seal him away again or to defeat him? Either way, does he have any s-specific strengths or weaknesses we should make note of?

Zane has a confused look on his face....The Culprit is forcing his way out of being sealed away, and Gargul's solution is to break the seal and let him out?
Since Bosk is talking, Zane just stays quiet.

DM Mitch 
Monday July 16th, 2018 7:45:51 AM
Gargul makes a shocking reveal and a confusing statement.

Monday July 16th, 2018 7:50:55 AM
Restlin's on board with all of this, right up until the end. "Yea, what Tink said. You want us to release him before he escapes on his own? I'm sure there's a great reason for that, Lord Gargul, but we'd sure like to know what that is."

Garret Goodbarrel [AC:31/31/24; +4 vs AOO; HP: 207/207 Ki:8/17 CMD: 47 SR: 29] 
Monday July 16th, 2018 10:31:55 AM
Garret just sits on the floor, mouth gaping open, nodding in agreement to Tink's question.

Gargul, Lord of Life and Death (CDM Cayzle) 
Monday July 16th, 2018 1:15:04 PM

Gargul sighs. "First let me answer the broader question, Bosk. We will get to specifics, be assured."

"There are three possible outcomes to this situation. First, the seal remains unbroken but leaky, and Kevintar continues to contaminate the Wold. Second, his followers learn how to break the seal and do so. They surely will if they can. Or third, you break the seal and Kevintar will be met and destroyed as he steps forth."

"I would be willing to accept the leak, but I think the cult will figure out the release sooner or later."

"I cannot break the seal. When I created the prison, I intended for it to be unbreakable. By anyone! Even myself. The only seal that is truly unbreakable is one that even its creator cannot break. It left no room for doubt or regret."

He steeples his fingers. "You see, everything that is made can be unmade. A creator can ensure that his creation is protected by choosing the means of its destruction. I chose the most impossible method I could imagine. That is why I call it 'unbreakable.' I set the seal such that breaking it is anathema to my own nature. The Seal of Kevintar can only be broken ... by an intelligent, free-willed undead that is also a construct."

He looks at you to make sure you understand why the seal must be broken, and why you can succeed in that goal.

Gimp pipes up from behind the throne. "The master doesn't want to get his hands dirty dealing with filthy undead constructs, so you nut-jobs get the honor of doing the stuff he prefers not to."

Gargul scowls and laughs at the same time. He speaks softly, reflectively. "Ah my fool! Speaking truth to power again, I see. But in fact, there are things even gods cannot do. I do not choose to do this, and I also set it up so that I cannot. It has to be you, Dragon Heroes."

Monday July 16th, 2018 3:02:25 PM
Wyaar purses his lips in thought as he listens to this all, "Is it not possible to enter his prison without breaking the seal to defeat him? You had mentioned others had made it into the Tower. it would seem the safest bet if it's possible. If we failed to destroy him he would still be at least somewhat contained."

Sesha [AC 35 /23 To/35 Fl] | HP 21/129 | CMD 33] 
Monday July 16th, 2018 6:21:42 PM

Sesha ponders her knowledge of the Ascension, Marteaus, and Kevintar. She wondered, briefly, if Gargul had not created those monsters, would Serenbeth still be alive?

She takes a deep breath, then asks.

"Are we confronting Kevintar now, as he emerges, because its when he will be at his weakest? The longer we delay, the more power he absorbs from his followers, right?"

She taps her woldsblood reserves, and forms a small illusory image in the air of a giant ogre pushing against a door. The door is buckling, and the soldiers on the other side suddenly open it. The ogre falls flat on its face, and is immediately hacked to pieces by the soldiers.

"Is this, more or less, the plan you have in mind, Lord Gargul?"

Bosk AC: 42/20/38 blinking, DR10/magic, CMD: 35 93 hp (-18 lost con) /169  
Monday July 16th, 2018 9:02:23 PM
Bosk nods as he listens, the enormity of the moral ramifications of what if being asked sinking in. What you are asking... If it was anyone but you... Please tell me, does such an artifact exist or are you asking us to this free willed undead that is also a construct? Does this artifact have to agree to help us? And what will happen to this construct after Kevintar is free? Must it be destroyed as well?
...
...
...
If it must be one of our group, or we must sacrifice the voulenteer, then I would ask that it be me. I can think of no more noble death than for that of the World, nor would I want to have to ride or sacrifice a friend. Lastly, if such a construct must be created, I would sleep better knowing it was fully devoted to Gargul... And everything such beliefs entail...

ooc: I actually would enjoy playing a construct or golem if necessary, and think the RP opportunity would be worth the possibility of character death in the end.

Monday July 16th, 2018 9:08:17 PM
Beri looks at Gargul, then toward Gimp, then Bosk to see if he's missing something... then slowly back to Gargul.
Sooo...
it can only be broken by the undead...
and we are to break it?

I'm not sure if if the fatigue of battle is causing me to overlook something obvious... but we aren't undead.
Beri just lets the though hand and hopes that there is a reassuring answer coming his way.

Monday July 16th, 2018 9:40:54 PM
Beri internally sighs in relief as he realizes as the two both start expressing similar concerns at the same time... followed by a sudden wave of panic that it may indeed have been what Gargul was implying.

"A free-willed, undead construct? Tall order there. Like some sort of smart flesh golem?" He looks around. "Am I the only one not seeing an immediate answer to that conundrum?"

Restlin ponders.

"For the cult to break the seal I would assume they would also know they require such a thing, otherwise such action now would not be necessary. Do we know how they obtained the knowledge and whether they have a free-willed undead with them? Perhaps we could 'borrow' theirs?"

Tink tries not to grit her teeth too much as Sesha taps into some woldsblood.

DM Mitch 
Tuesday July 17th, 2018 8:12:35 AM
Wyaar asks if they made it into the tower but failed to defeat Kevintar would he at least be somewhat contained.

Sesha asks if by confronting Kevintar and being the ones to break him out they assure they face him when he is weak. She even creates a small illusion to illustrate they understood Gargul’s plan.

Bosk asks if the undead construct artifact exists or if one of them has to become it and if the latter he offers himself as a sacrifice. He also asks what is to become of the unique creature once Kevintar is freed,

Beri splits his attention between Bosk, Gimp and Gargul feeling like he is missing something pointing out they themselves are not undead and voicing concerns similar to Bosk’s

Restlin wonders how such a thing could exist.

Tink wonders how the cult could have found a way to free Kevintar and if they have undead that will work for the seal.


Gargul, Lord of Life and Death (CDM Cayzle) 
Tuesday July 17th, 2018 9:40:08 AM

Gargul chuckles. "Ah mortals, ever hasty. We will discuss these options and more, my brave heroes. But first understand the entire situation."

"First, the cult, which is no little thing. The seal is at Bone Tower, and the Death Dragon Cult now claims the Tower. It opens periodically. For many years the base of the tower was home to a tribe of orcs. They challenged any who came to compete in a blood tournament, and the winner was allowed to enter the rupture. Agents of the Death Dragon Cult destroyed the tribe several weeks ago. The Cult now guards the approach."

"After defeating the Cult and entering, you will encounter guardians, and past them is the seal. The seal is a pentagon, ten spans across, and made of mithral. To break the seal, a breaker must stand at each point. At the apex, the undead construct. In addition, two other undead and two constructs, also intelligent and free willed, must aid in the ritual. Each one must stand at a point of the pentagon and praise my name. Then the undead must each consume a heart while the constructs burn them. One heart of virtue, one heart of sin, one heart of order, one heart of chaos, and one heart of balance."

"Once the seal is broken, Kevintar will be released. Though you will set events in motion, you will not deliver the killing blow. You do not possess that power. Neither do I, for that matter. Kevintar is made from my essence. If I destroy him, he will be absorbed back into me and I will become as I was before -- implacable and cold in my judgment. It would be very grim for the Wold. There is one who has this power, and who fears the release of Kevintar. It is Marteaus."

"Marteaus believes that his judgement lies in the Bone Tower. However foul and evil Marteaus may be, he is eclipsed by the dispassionate terror that is Kevintar. His judge and executioner is Kevintar. Marteaus is convinced that if Kevintar ever escapes, Kevintar will come after his brother as the greatest evil in the Wold. Marteaus will seek to destroy Kevintar before he regains his full power. They will struggle, and Marteaus will emerge the victor. But Kevintar will not be vanquished without a fight. Their battle will likely grievously wound Marteaus, and deplete the majority of his divine power."

"So yes, little witch, you are right. But it is not you who will attack Kevintar when he is weak."

"What say you now, Dragons, with the fullness of my thought revealed? Do you see alternatives to my plan?"

Tuesday July 17th, 2018 11:18:26 AM
Garret sits there, ticking off options on his fingers and looking around at the other dragons. He mumbles, "We need the undead construct, then two more undead, then two more constructs, and five hearts to be eaten? This is not something that sounds like anything remotely good."

Tuesday July 17th, 2018 11:48:22 AM
Consuming hearts while being burned, and working with the admittedly evil Marteaus.
Forgive me for asking this once again, but if even the most learned and devout of the Death Dragon Cult were fooled into believing they were doing the will of Gargul, and not Kevintar, how can we be sure we aren't being led down the same path? I believe that even before crystal was destroyed, we were able to communicate with the other powers, and that the veil wasn't powerful enough to obstruct their view of the events. Is this something that they can corroborate so that we can be sure it is truly the god of death and life that we are serving?

Sesha [AC 35 /23 To/35 Fl] | HP 21/129 | CMD 33] 
Tuesday July 17th, 2018 12:18:28 PM

Sesha looks at Gimp.

"I think that the honorable Gimp would know his master."

She thinks a bit more, then asks.

"Lord Gargul, are you certain Kevintaur cannot win? Is there any surprise or trick he or his cult might employ to gain the upper hand in their struggle with Marteus?"

Tuesday July 17th, 2018 12:56:23 PM
Bosk tries to calm the others nerves. I can cast coming when we are done to verify Gargul is Gargul, and I know Gimp had a special connection with Gargul, so I do not think he could be fooled.

The information so far make sense, even if more vague then I would like. I think we do need to know where we are going to get there undead constructs, two other undead, and five hearts as described.

"So, do we find or create the undead, constructs or the hearts first? We'll also have to find willing "people" to become the undead and then sacrifice themselves. So either Heroes ready to pass on, or devoted followers of one of the Gods."

Sesha [AC 35 /23 To/35 Fl] | HP 21/129 | CMD 33] 
Tuesday July 17th, 2018 8:19:41 PM

Sesha thinks.

"Faith, Hope, Joy .. my immortal summons, they are all ghosts and spirits, which are undead in their own right."

She adds.

"If that does not work, well, it's not an idea I relish, but I can create undead with a simple scroll purchase. And since I don't get my power from the .. uh.. traditional godly channels, my sense of alignment will not be affected by the casting." She puts a finger on her nose and thinks some more. "I just don't know how to bind the undead to a construct with a soul."

Restlin scratches his head. Did Gargul have any more insights? He waits to see how the god answer's Zane's questions.

Tink is quite intrigued by this puzzle. She finds it an interesting conundrum. The part about praising his name feels a little self-indulgent in terms of creating a seal. Meh, when you're a God you can probably afford a little pride.

Gargul asking for alternatives to his plan is another surprise in a surprise filled day. It feels like quite an honor. A God soliciting suggestions from the Iron Dragons? Yep. Honor.

The constructs and undead sound like tools to part of the grander plan. Tink doesn't want to be a yes man and desperately wants to show she can think for herself so tries to come up with anything to say "Seals have many shapes and many forms. Are you able to share an image of the seal so that we can understand what we will face? With Kevintar's power seeping out from the seal, will we be physically and spiritually safe to approach?" Tink relaxes a little and puts her thumb and forefinger to her chin in contemplation "Do you foresee Marteaus coming for Kevintar as soon as the seal is broken? I am wondering whether we will be present when these two great beings clash"

Garret recaps the fact they need the undead-construct, 2 more undead, 2 more constructs and 5 hearts to be eaten. He points out this doesn’t sound remotely good.

Beri points out some hearts need to be burned and they need to work with Marteus who is evil. He questions if they are dealing with the real Gargul

Sesha says she is sure Gimp would know his master and then asks if there is anyway Kevintar could defeat Marteus

Bosk says he will verify it is Gargul once they are done and although vague the info to him does make sense although vague. He figures they need to know how they are to locate the undead construct, the 2 other constructs and the 2 other undead plus the hearts.

Zane asks what should they work on first, the hearts or the undead, constructs and undead construct and should they look for old heroes willing to pass on or devoted followers of the Gods

Sesha brings up that some of her immortal summons are ghosts which mean they are undead in their own right and that she can create undead if need be without affecting her alignment she just doesn’t know how to bind an undead to a construct.

Restlin scratches his head wondering if the God had more insight and waits to hear the answer to Zane’s question

Wyaar is at a loss and just states that he shoots cultists with his bow.

Garret pauses and waits for Gargul to respond. He isn't sure why the god is asking: couldn't he just force the group to do what he wants them to go? And do the dragons even have a choice? After all, there would certainly be consequences for refusing the requests of a powerful god.

Gargul, Lord of Life and Death (CDM Cayzle)  d20=16 ; Gargul-eye rolls to hit Beri
Wednesday July 18th, 2018 11:12:30 AM
Gargul sits back in his chair and grins. "I suppose I have this coming, doubted by mortals, indeed. I could perform miracles, I suppose." He changes as an immediate action into a giant eye 100 feet tall, and rolls onto Beri. He does not roll a natural 1, so he hits and inflicts 1,000 hit points of damage, killing Beri.

Does anybody want to take any actions in the rest of this combat round? Okay, your kindly Campaign DM deduces not.

Next round Gargul rolls back to his throne and changes back to his human avatar, the one he wore when he was Alemi's nemesis, and the archmage who, as a mortal, created the chromatic dragons.

Beri's soul rises like mist from his corpse, and can speak, if it so wishes, in a whisper.

"Does that prove I am indeed the God of Life and Death? You will have to judge for yourself."

"Now, mortal trivialities such as "good" and "evil" make no nevermind to the likes of the gods. But I will say that in former days, I was more ... severe ... than the patient and kindly immortal who sits before you. And that ... severity, perhaps, guided my hand in a bygone age when I crafted this seal and the conditions that would break it."

"Bosk and Zane, you ask where to find the allies you need, or how to create them, and in what order your tasks should be undertaken. But these are matters of fate. I could send my own creatures to perform these tasks to my exact specifications, and I could give you all similar exact instructions, but then you would be mere automata, and not independent agents."

"You see, I have a philosophical belief in the ineluctable power of fate to move events through its agents, the paragons of mortality that are you heroes. That is why I am willing to restore heroes to life, while denying that benefit to almost all others. I believe that in adventurers and heroes, alone among mortals, destiny burns and inspires beyond the ken of gods. We are greater than you, but you have a power we know not, and great events bend around you beyond our ability to guide the courses of the Wold."

"So no, I will not instruct you on the particulars. And that is why I ask if you have some alternative to my own ideas. If you think my means are not "good," young Garret, then achieve my goal in a way that I have not imagined. You know my purpose: to end the danger that Kevintar will enter the Wold and wreak his terrible punishments upon all creation."

"I will say, Sesha, that it is obvious that incorporeal undead cannot serve your purpose, for how can an incorporeal undead devour a corporeal heart? I suspect a clever witch such as yourself would have realized that in a moment."

"Sesha, you also ask if I am sure Kevintar cannot win. I am not sure. I do not know the outcome of this battle. There are too many variables. I do not know if Kevintar will be destroyed. I do not know how weak Marteaus will become. Perhaps they will destroy each other? Regardless, they will fight each other. It is in their nature. Instigating their fight before Kevintar has assumed his full power will save countless lives."

He leans forward. "Will you enter the Tower of Bone, Iron Dragons, break the seal of Kevintar, and allow two maleficent gods to battle so that the Wold may be saved? Or will you swear to achieve my ends in some way unforeseen by me?"

"Yup!" is Restlin's immediate response. He has no idea how they will accomplish any of this. "No idea how we're going to pull it off, though. I think I'd better luck quest this one. Are we leaving right this second? We can have some time to prepare, right? For them, obviously." He gestures to the rest of the Dragons. "Luck quests don't need prep-time, but I wouldn't mind a bath after all this Sargrass stuff."

"Lord Gargul, we will accept the quest and the task. Um, before we go, can you please turn Beri back into a Druid? I would have to have to call on your charity right after we part ways, but the Druid is a pretty important part of our team." She swallows. "And I believe you have convinced him of your authenticity."

Bosk watches as Beri is is defeated in the blink of an eye and wonders if he has now learned the power difference between him and a god. With the fate of the Wold on the line, how could we possibly choose to do otherwise? It will be an honor to carry out this quest.

The blond taur is just about to tell Beri he better apologize when when he hears him whisper to The Lord of Life and Death and decides to leave any scolding until later.

Lord Gargul, before we go, I beg that you would grant us three boons. If it so pleases you, could you please show Beri your mercy and restore him back to us. It would make our task much easier to have him among our number, and I am sure he has learned a valuable lesson.

I would further ask that you extend your mercy and favor to those who would help us on our quest, including the souls of the undead, constructs, and those that are responsible for their creation...if within reason.

Lastly, I would ask for some token from you that we may turn to when things are at their worst. So that we might be inspired and our resolve strengthened, and that when we are done others may look upon it and be reminded of your greatness to help spread your teachings to raise up followers throughout the Southern Continent.

Garret watches as Beri is quickly flattened. He's not sure what to say about that, but then Restlin mentions a showed. Garret raises his arm, much to everyone else's annoyance, sniffs and says, "Nah, I'm ready."

He watches as everyone else stands in fear of the god. It is not that Garret is being disrespectful, more that he figures if a god wants him dead, then he's going to be dead, and that's the way of things in the Wold. He is kind of surprised when Bosk asks him for things, but figures if this god wants these measly heroes to do something for him, it seems logical that they should ask for a few things...but he waits to see the giant eyeball smash Bosk for daring to ask...

Gargul, Lord of Life and Death (CDM Cayzle) 
Thursday July 19th, 2018 1:20:58 PM
Gargul nods. as you speak.

He looks at Tink and says, "I have said much, and the words of a god can be overwhelming. Let me repeat the core of my plan, a plan you may disregard or adapt as fate prompts you."

"Go to Bone Tower. Defeat the cult that has already defeated the orcs formerly there. Secure the entrance. Find two free-willed corporeal undead, two free-willed constructs, and one free-willed undead construct who will declare their devotion to me. Also find five hearts, of creatures powerful and potent, hearts of virtue, sin, order, chaos, and balance. Enter the Tower with these allies. Find the Seal, a large mithril pentagon. Each ally stands on a point of the pentagon, praises me, and either devours a heart, if undead, or burns it, if construct, or devours a burning heart, if both. Then stand back or perhaps flee, for the battle between Kevintar and Marteus will take place."

"And yes, Bosk, tell your allies that if they praise me, they will have my mercy."

He looks at Restlin. "I will not dictate destiny by telling you when to act. But the cult grows in power, so be wary. I would not think hours or even days matter, but I would not wait months."

"You will need your full strength. Your friend has already been restored." You look, and yes, Beri is already among the living again. [OOC to Beri: Please note on your PC sheet that there is now a dimple at the center of your forehead, the point at which the Rolling Eye of Gargul first touched you. It twinges painfully whenever you are in the presence of the God of Life and Death, but not if he is absent.]

The god reaches into his pocket and withdraws a fossilized skull, of a small mammal, like a mouse or a bat. He hands this to Bosk. "Show this to Gimp," the god says, "and he will bless it in my name."

"In fact, I have spent enough time with you. I must speak with other heroes -- heroes tasked with destroying other cells of the Death Dragon Cult throughout the Wold. If you have any other questions, perhaps Gimp will answer if he can. But take what he says with a grain of salt."

"HEY!" says Gimp, jumping front and center. When you turn away from the imp-thing back to Lord Gargul, he is gone. If any of you were watching the deity rather than his servant, maybe you saw him wink before he faded away.

Restlin exhales. "Can we go home, now? I've had enough excitement for one day." He looks around, wondering if they're in a place where they even can teleport straight home. He's willing to risk it.

Bosk walks the skull over to Gimp and asks him to bless it in Gargul's name. That was very generous of him. With a little luck we might be able to make Gargul the most worshiped gods the Southern continent, and give those powers a run for their money.

When the others are ready to go, Bosk leaves with the others. I need to make a stop at the Catacombs before we head out.

The second they arrive back home, Restlin teleports himself into the bathroom, bars the door, and starts preparing the bath to end all baths. All the sandalwood oil. The extra scrubby sponge.

"I talked to that Manfri bloke, he says thanks for all the help and had something for you." The second Gimp hands you an enormous bag of bag of gems and then vanishes.

"Also, let me bless that skull and if you want I can make you're gear a little better for the giant battle to come. Also, also, weren't you going to bring that ship thing back with you help with city repairs? Awe heck I'll just do it."

He snaps his fingers and you're back in you're tower at Hook city. Anyone who looks outside notes the ship is there hovering around the tower near the Starblazer.

"I'll hang around for a little bit and answer any questions you have, give you're stuff a boost, but get em in now cause I won't be coming back. Stuff to do, y'know?"

Gimp will add enchantments to 1 item you give him - you can make requests or let him (meaning us) figure out what to put on it. The enchantments can cost up to 100,000.

Tink nods to Gargul and then wonders what the locals think about their 2 flying crafts outside the tower.

Garret appreciates the gems and then thinks about what blessing he wants from Gimp before settling on making his amulet of mighty fists might-i-er. Gimp considers. ”Well I can’t make it directly better (can’t go over +5) but I can give you some side benefits.”

Zane requests turning his +1 Defending Kama into a +2 brilliant energy defending kama. Gimp waves his hand, then gives it back. Done.

Restlin requests his headband be elevated to +4 to +6. Gimp gives him a funny look. ”That’s it? Bah I can do better than that!” He gives the headband a shake then hands it back. Upon putting it back on Restlin finds himself not only smarter, but a little wiser (+6 Int and +6 Wis)

Wyaar and Beri[b] both ask about getting reflection put on things that don’t normally allow reflection; Gimp points that out, [b]”That’s a shield only thing guys. A tattoo would only reflect stuff that hit ya on the head. Not to useful ‘ey?” He considers some. "I could maybe make it work. Let me get back to you."

Bosk considers the offer.

Tink asks for energy resist on her shield.

Gimp looks around at those who haven’t picked yet. ”If you guys can’t decide I got some ideas. You’s guys that already picked feel free to ask any follow up questions about the tower.”

Thank you for your consideration Gimp. Should it not be possible, you said that we can request that you decide what to put on it. As the Dimple was a gift from Gargul, I would be honored if you chose an appropriate enchantment for it.

As for the tower, my concern is traps... While I have faith that Gagrul would have told us about any traps he set, have any unfortunate souls been sent to Gargul prematurely due stumbling upon traps set by the new residents?

Zane defers the questions asked to Gimp to others and then talks to their new free willed construct ally.

Bosk asks for Gimp’s thought on what enchantment he should ask for voicing what he had in mind. Gimp says, “I could do what you requested or I could do for you what I did for Garret only with fire blindsight 2x per day for 100 minutes whenever you use it and fire walking 2x per day for 200 minutes.

Beri requests Gimp do something with his dimple if he can’t bless it.

Restlin quickly gets lost in thought as his new headband expands his mind.

Gimp hrms and haws over the flower and Bosk’s dimple. ”Give me a sec, I’ll figure something out.”

To Beri’s question Gimp responds, ”The main thing to worry about is time/space wonkiness. Since the tower exists in multiple realms simultaneously you should keep your eyes out for portals to other worlds. Try not to fall into them. They also make it hard to track souls of those that die in the tower as most of em die in one of those other worlds and end up in strange places.”

The repair ship chimes a greeting to the Starblazer, which doesn’t reply. When Zane suggests the repairs it chimes it’s thanks and eagerness to go help. Int check DC 20 Zane only Highlight to display spoiler: {the ritual calls for intelligent, free willed constructs… would the ship count?}

Something itches at the back of Zane's brain, but he;s more interested in making sure that the city is running as much as normal....
"Will you respond to Dock? We need some name to call you that way we know who we are talking about. A Dock is where sea going ships go to get get unloaded, but also to get repairs. And the Noble races go to Doctors of a sort or their Holy men to get healed, or fixed up, when hurt. Also this way you'll know when we are addressing you rather than someone else near by.
Let me show you the way to the Hook City Bridge and you can check to see if it needs fixing."
Zane yells down to the others, (if it agrees to Dock as a name)"I'm taking Dock to the bridge first then seeing about other repairs. Just ring me when we're ready to go, I stocked up on more fresh bread and meat on a stick, at least for everyone but Garret."

Garret thanks Gimp profusely. He replies, "I was certainly in need of something like this. I was going to use a carpet of flying, but this is more convenient."

Bosk takes a moment to ponder Gimp's suggestion. I like that idea...as fire tempers Iron...lets do it. I can always upgrade the other stuff myself. After his gear is upgraded Bosk imagines the usefulness of such a gift. With this he could keep watch at night or even sleep in a bonfire.

Sesha thanks Gimp and then patiently waits to see what the Imp comes up with.

(OOC: functions as slotless ring of wishes w/ 2 charges; will lose half its petals each time a wish is used)

Zane dubs their new construct friend Dock and sees about finding Dock some work to do. He also plans to find some meat on a stick

Garret thanks Gimp for the blessing remarking he was going to get a rug of flying but the blessing is better.

Tink replies that Dock is a great name.

Beri asks if the portals are one way or bi-directional.

Restlin debates taking a bath.

Bosk appreciates his gift.

For the most part one way Gimp says. ”Sometimes they get unstable and things slip in from the other side. Also the tower guardians can pull you out if you fall into one. That might be a good way to get the stuff you need for the ritual.”

The newly christened dock is silent for a moment, seemingly considering. It then goes on a long, complicated series of chimes.

Garret looks around. He does not see any meat on a stick. He heads back to the town square outside the tower to seek out his favorite meat on a stick vendor. He waves to everyone he sees when he arrives and prepares to tell stories of the Iron Dragons encounters with the Sargrass and dragons.

As he arrives, he heads over quickly to a fountain and splashes some water on his face. ;)

"That's some good thinking there, Zane. Of course, we just told him...it?" He turns towards Dock. "Are you a him? Her? It?" He listens to the sounds it makes, trying to see which one makes him/her/it happiest, then continues...

"We just told (pronoun) that it could help repair Hook City...and why would a being of false life worship Gargul in the first place? He's the last god they would worship." He rubs his face. "Guess that's kind of the point, aye Restlin?" He wonders if Sesha figured that out first. She probably did. Hmph.

He stands up and gives Gimp a respectful nod. "Thanks for all you've done, Gimp. Right now, though, I need to clean up and think. This is the kind of problem that requires a good soak to work through."

The druid turns to Gimp and thanks him for the insight into the traps that may lay ahead.
Thank you Gimp, we will everything we can to avoid falling into the portals and needing to be rescued.

Beri looks up at the bridge, and remembers Bosk's use of the Star Mages device to stabilize is.
Well, there is a lot to do, but I think the first stop should be the Star Mages guild, see if they can provide us with another backpack or two. Hopefully it won't take too long, but if there are portals out there that can suck us into other worlds, I would feel better knowing we had a way to get anyone out that falls in.

Tink remarks that their new friend already had a name but it is hard to pronounce and it is happy with the nick name of Dock so Dock it is.

Zane agrees with Tink and then comes to the realization that Dock might be one of those free willed constructs Gimp and Gargul had been talking about considering it is more autonomous and talkative than Starblazer.

Wyaar comments they may have solved one piece of the puzzle.

Garret looks for his favorite meat on a stick vendor taking some time to splash water on his face as he arrives.

Restlin reflects upon what preferred pronouns a Construct repair ship might have points out the conundrum of having a construct worship Gargul and then thinks he needs to bathe and think.

Sesha kneels before Gimp, thanks him for the blessing and then puts the now enchanted flower back in her hair.

Beri thanks Gimp for the insight and then turns his thoughts to bridge and how they effected temporary repairs using the Star Mage’s tech. He wonders if they have any additional to spare considering they are facing more portals.

Bosk thanks Gimp for the gift.

Gimp stares off into space and then says, “The bossman has approved a special blessing for Beri’s divet. Just so Beri does not forget Gargul is the Lord of Life and Death, Gargul will bestow upon your divet a blessing that could save Beri’s life. The blessing is called touch of invulnerability. Anytime Beri is attacked (OOC: with something that requires an attack roll) Beri’s attacker has a 5% chance of having the results of the attack negated if the attack hits the divet. OOC: attackers will either roll one additional d20 or d100 and if they roll a 1 on a d20 or 1 through 5 on a d100 then they hit the divet and the attack does nothing. Area of effect spells and mind effecting spells are not affected)

Lastly Gimp says to Wyaar, “I almost forgot about you my good paladin. While I can’t put reflection on your armor I could put the blessing on a shield that is first made to be +1 - ed; after that I can make it so that if you just keep the shield in with your gear you can get its magic shield bonus and the 1/day reflection. So my question is if you do want to do that do you happen to have a shield on you or am I taking that board sticking from the rubble over there and turning it into a slotless “shield” (OOC: if Wyaar doesn’t have a shield then a +1 slotless reflecting buckler has been reskinned as some wooden boards Gimp pulled from some rubble post Crossover and blessed)

Dock gives a non-committal noise as to the question of what pronoun to use. It’s starting to sort of bob in the air now, hovering towards town only to catch itself and move back to the tower and the conversation. It chimes out something, DC 15 linguistics Highlight to display spoiler: { it’s eager to go out and see the town, do some repairs.}

As Garret wanders into town he sees a lot of busy people going hither and yon, getting their lives back in order. Repairs seem to be going surprisingly well; while he can still see signs of major damage here or there, it’s mostly do to noticeably new repair jobs to heavily damaged areas. When he reaches the market square it’s a lot emptier than usual, but there are many merchants seeing to the repair of their carts. A few are taking advantage of all the busy people and selling food to passersby in too much of a hurry to stop and prepare something themselves.

Including meat on a stick.

Garret looks around, quite please to have a meat on a stick in each hand (and a spare tucked into his rope belt for later). He talks to some of the merchants and tries to help out where he can. He may not know a lot about construction, but he's quite strong for a halfling, so he looks for where he can lend help by helping lift and hold big and heavy things -- shoving the meat on a stick in his mouth when he needs to use both hands...

Garret is happy to have meat on a stick in both hands and socializes with the merchants and tries to help where he can.

Zane tells Dock to do what it wants but it has a home at the tower and he will have a crew for starblazer at some point.

Beri informs Bosk he plans to head to the Star Mages Guild

Tink says she’s going to hit up the catacombs and the WLA

Sesha slips the ring off her finger gives it back to Restlin and asks the Mage priest what his plans were. She was planning to check with her covern and Simulcra and also Mhalice.

Bosk goes out to the WLA and the Catacombs and wonder’s if he’s going to end up facing a lecture from the Star Mages.

Dock points out that unless someone comes with it to translate it probably won’t be able to get anyone to understand it’s there to help (yes you can spend a skill point to learn it’s language).

While Bosk is out and about discussing maybe visiting the Star Mages guild with Beri he notices several Star Mages helping out with the repairs.

A guard notices Garret helping out in the merchant’s square and approaches him. ”You’re one of the Dragons right? Are you all back? Auslander will want to hear of your return and talk to you.”

Hello Mages, I see you are already assisting with repairs to the city. By any chance do you know where Agatha and Sprocket are? They assisted us earlier and we need to find them again.

Wyaar plans to get some food, restock his equipment and visit government officials (OOC: who did you have in mind?)

Restlin tells Sesha, “You’ll see” in answer to her question and then takes a bath and gets ready to receive visitors.

Beri approaches some of the Star Mages asking if they know where Agatha and Sprocket are.

Bosk follows Beri.

The guard talking to Garret considers, looking the Halfling over. ”Yes. I’ll go make sure Auslander knows you’re here.” He then beats a very hasty retreat.

Dock and Zane head towards what looks like the most damaged area from the air. It just so happens that Agatha is there. She’s in the middle of assisting with the repairs of a building that had fallen onto it’s neighbors but immediately drops everything to look over Dock, asking what it is, how does it work, ooh what kind of crystal is that anyway.

Dock chimes unconformably at the attention. Beri and Bosk walk up shortly after, while she’s still Oohing and Aahing.

Sister, for her part, had realized this, and so sought out Sesha from time to time to allow Sesha to dote over her, knowing that this pleased her creator. Thus a strange cycle was in place, Sesha often felt the need to show affection to Sister, and Sister felt the need to allow Sesha to show it.

Finally, when they both are satisfied, Sesha whisks them both away to Sanctuary, to meet with her coven.

And to answer another question, Dock is People and he joined us after our last troubles, and he's here to help fix up the city, so lets let him do his job. You can watch but don't touch, touching will get you a quick ticket back to the ground and no further invitation to board again...."
Zane informs those looking for Agatha that she's on board of Dock and where they are in the city. He also makes a note to tell Dock about the Mage's Guild and Agatha in particular after the others arrive and distract her off of Dock.

Tink returns from catacombs shopping and takes the time to lounge in a chair.

Sesha spends some quality time with Sister before whisking both off to her coven.

Restlin takes a trip to the catacombs.

Garret takes a seat on a stone wall eating his meat on a stick and waving at passerbys

Zane talks to Dock, then gives Agatha a stern warning about not touching things before keeping an eye on her and eating some meat on a stick as they travel.

Wyaar enjoys the happy coincidence of being near Garret when the magistrate shows up.

Beri wonders where Agatha is seemingly not recognizing them for a moment.

Bosk points out that she’s right in front of them. He apologizes for the use of the backpack and hope it isn’t broken.

Agatha is reaching out to touch something when Zane delivers her warning. She quickly puts her hands behind her back and bounces on her toes slightly as she resists the urge. Bosk’s comments barely penetrate her mind and she says something along the lines of ”No problem, glad it worked.”

Sprocket walks up and glances at dock before turning to Bosk. ”Seems like it worked wonders. No worries that kind of thing is what it’s for. No one’s going to complain at it being used to save the bridge. It did get jammed up some holding that weight for so long but we’re already looking on making new and improved versions as emergency equipment.”

Dock floats over to the repair crew and activates it’s crane. There are several heavy beams and it snatches one, to the surprise of the workers, and chimes a question about where to put it/hold it while they secure it in place. The workers look around in confusion. Agatha looks on in delight.

Back at the tower there's a knock on the door. Auslander has arrived looking for the group.

Zane will work as interpreter for the workers at the site. As the beam is being held in place, Zane then explains to the workers below by speaking very loudly so everyone in the area can hear....

"This is Dock, he's here to help with the rebuilding. you'll need someone to just let him know where you want stuff. Like that beam we just moved. You probably won't know exactly what he's asking, but if you politely tell him what you want, he'll do it if he can. I'll be around when I can, but we Iron Dragons have a lot more responsibilities now than we did when we were just the Iron Adventurers. And I'm not sure if you've been informed, but those meteors didn't just land here in Hook City, but hit various places, even on the other side of the Wold. So there is enough reconstruction for everyone to deal with." Zane explains to the construction crew and to Agatha and Sprocket since they are near by. He also expects that local citizens will also hear him, and hopefully it will spread letting the City know that it was not targeted by itself.

Garret sits on the wall he has found and spots Auslander heading for the tower door. He is about to say something, but then realizes that Auslander did not see Garret sitting on the wall. Garret watches him knock on the door and idly wonders if anyone is actually at home, or if Auslander is going to find no one home at all.

Inspector Auslander is that rarest of creatures: the effective and conscientious bureaucrat. Restlin has a high opinion of the man.

Restlin opens the door, glad to see the man. "Auslander, we have had one heck of a time, but I think it's safe to say the bloodweed issue has been addressed for the near and immediate future...hopefully much longer than that as well."

He stands aside and allows Auslander entrance into the tower. "Can I get you anything? Tea? Coffee? Something a little harder, maybe? I won't tell..."

"Ah.. Magistrate Auslander, come on it," Wyaar says as he so coicidentally arrives at the same time as the magitstrate. "As Restlin said, we have been busy. Much has been accomplished but we still have much to do. Sit, stay awhile and listen.."

Sesha [AC 35 /23 To/35 Fl] | HP 21/129 | CMD 33] 
Wednesday August 1st, 2018 6:32:27 PM

Two Sesha's appear back at the tower, via her consortium ring. Sesha sees Auslander and realizes that its already time to move forward.

"Thanks for your company, Sister. It looks like there's work to do."

Beri takes a seat in his leather chair, a hot cup of coffee in his hand.
Ah, We've been expecting you Auslander. I am glad to see you made it through the chaos in one piece. It looks like you have some news for us. We have some news for you, both good news and bad news. The good news is we managed to save the Wold... the bad news is that it's already in danger again. Also, Gargul killed me... but he brought me back, mostly in one piece.
The druid points to the newly crated dimple in his forehead as he says this last part.

Bosk thanks the Star Mages for being so understanding about the backpack. I am sure you learned a lot from the unusual experiences that took place. I hope you are able to prevent anything similar from happening again by controlling the dangerous knowledge while spreading that which may help resist another such invasion.

Bosk then joins the others inside to talk with the inspector.

Zane introduces Dock to the construction crews and then explains how Dock can help. He also points out he canft play interpreter all the time.

Garret watches Auslander from his wall perch. He wonders if anyone will be home to respond to Auslanderfs knock.

Restlin opens the door and then offers Auslander a greeting and refreshment.

Wyaar also greets Ausander

Sesha appears back in the tower with sister.

Beri also welcomes Auslander and catches him up on recent events.

Bosk briefly talks to the Star mages about the backpack before heading inside to meet with Auslander.

With Zanes help soon the workers and Dock are working well together and theyfre very grateful for the help, strange as it is. Agatha starts asking Zane for as much information about Dock as she can get once he's done explaining, all the while watching the ship curiously.

In the wake of all those words Sprocket looks surprised as he didnft think he had it in him. He averts his gaze and then hurries to stand behind Agatha. He pulls on her robe and she bends down as the gnome whispers in her ear.

Auslander comes in an accepts some tea. After a few polite inquiries as to everyonefs health he asks the question thatfs really on his mind. hWhat happened? The grass just withered away after a while. I heard you did something with the meteor but then you were gone again and no one knew where. You say the Wolds in danger again? Are you leaving soon?h

Garret sighs and follow Auslander inside. Whatever they're going to talk about, Garret knows that he should know. He makes a stop in the kitchen...

"Auslander! It is good to see you again" Tink rushes up to shake the Inspector's hand. The fellow has become quite the friend of the party.

"How fare the repairs? Is the city recovering? What of the people? Is everyone ok?" she unintentionally bombards him with questions "What of Mara?"

The party had asked the Inspector to keep an eye on Mara Weaver for them, and to make sure she stayed well.

"No immediate danger, no. The Sargrass Plains have returned to the Southern Continent. The Sarr, the capital-P Power that runs that place, had been corrupted with the bloodweed. We, and many other heroes beat it back into submission." He pounds his fist into his hand for effect.

"I have plans to stay here in town for at least two weeks. Wardd willing we can get some well needed rest and time for personal projects. There are pressing needs we need to address, but we need time to prepare.

"Anyway, that's where we are. The Powers That Be here in Hook City may want to start diplomatic missions to The Sargrass again...soon as you manage to find the place. Surely the diviners at the Star Mage's guild can take care of that. They may as well be good for something." He winces as the words come out of his mouth. This blasted hat Gimp gave him has made him very aware of how foolish some of his opinions are. "That wasn't fair. Agatha and Sprocket were instrumental in making sure we had a city to come home to.

"Enough about us, though. What's been going on here? How are you doing? You slept recently? If you need a place to hide and relax, our home is yours. No one is scrying you in here, right Tink?"

Zane will give here a guided tour, asking Dock what parts are if they are unfamiliar to him, and then giving a translation to Agatha and Sprocket. Adding in, points like "see how that's connected to that, that might work for you" and such.
Over the rings, "If you're looking for Agatha and Sprocket just look up, where else would they be but exploring Dock."
He keeps up the tour and hopes that they will soon get tired of looking over Dock.
To Dock in one of the lulls, "Are you happy with the person the work crew has assigned to let you know where things need to go?" Zane wants to make sure before he gets called away for some meeting.

Beri nods as Restlin goes over what happened.
One thing you can always trust the powers of the Wold to do is to not make things easy. We need to get through defenses Gargul designed to keep even himself out. I will say that it's encouraging that a god would have so much confidence in us, but we have our work cut out for us.

By the way, when there was that matter with the chit machine we were looking into, we were given access to The Library in Magic City and to the library beneath the treasury. Is the access to these libraries still available to us?

DM Mitch 
Friday August 3rd, 2018 7:13:27 AM
Garret sighs and follows Auslander deciding to stop in the kitchen along the way.

Tink greets Auslander and then peppers him with questions about Mara and the repairs.

Restlin gives a recap on the Dragons’ plans to Auslander following up with some questions of his own.

Zane explains to Agatha and Sprocket some things about Dock and in the lulls asks the intelligent construct if it is happy with its coworkers.

Wyaar listens to the others and nods along.

Beri elaborates on what Restlin said and then asks if the Dragons still have access to the magical library they used when researching the chit machine.

Dock chimes that it’ll be fine, It’s not like anyone can force it to do anything it doesn’t want to do. It does request Zane get Agatha off it’s deck before he goes though. Agatha is reluctent to go. ”It’s not like I would take it apart!” she considers a moment. ”Well, not while it’s flying.”

Dock is not reassured.

Auslander says, “That sounds like a tall order but you’ve a been able to handle pretty much anything that came up so far. I believe your passes from the chit machine are still good I don’t suppose any of you happen to have one handy? If so I can examine it and if it isn’t in good order dispatch someone to get a notary public over here and update them.””

"I have a library card. Paid good money for it." He pulls the card out of one of his many pockets and hands it to Auslander. "I'm not sure if this allows me to bring guests."

***

Restlin paid 1k gold to get a lifetime membership card to access Hook City's library several months back...maybe even a year.

Beri reaches into his pack and digs through the pile of hand written notes from his time at the library. He hands Auslander any documentation in the pile that may have been provided to him for library access.
Is this what you were looking for? I hope it's still valid

Zane cocks his head slightly to the side for a moment, "Bringing Agatha and Sprocket to the Tower, it's not safe to leave them near Dock." He says over the rings.

To Agatha nd Sprocket, "The Iron Dragons are hosting a meeting and would like you to attend, I'll carry you both to our tower."
He then whispers to Dock, "You can keep whomever you want off of your decks. Loud enough to be heard by the others, Dock, when you need to recharge or whatever, you have mooring space next to Starblazer, so just come back to the tower." Zane then scoops Agatha and Sprocket up, one under each arm and flies back to the Iron Tower.

Tink waits to hear what Auslander has to say about the questioning.

Restlin produces a library card and asks if it allows him to bring guests

Garret checks his pockets, finds some old bread, sniffs it and then eats it.

Beri digs through his pack to find the document Auslander was asking about.

Bosk too hands over an old document

Tink has a grin on her face hearing about the notary being on the way.

Bosk cringes at the thought of more red tape.

Zane scoops up Agatha and Sprocket and flies them over to the meeting.

Auslander says, “Restlin, your library card is in good standing and it will allow you to bring precisely one guest with you.”

To the others he says, “Unfortunately it seems the rest of the documents have expired so I’m going to have to send a runner for Robert the Notary. I’m glad most of you still seem to have your documents but that piece of bread that picked up some of the ink from Garret’s papers is unacceptable.”

A runner is sent for and a nervous looking man with eye lenses is brought forth. “You ask -- ask-- asked for me boss?” the man stammers.

“Robert, please create a new one year temporary library pass for Garret Goodbarrel and update the library documents for the other dragons except Restlin to expire precisely one year from today’s date.”

Agatha seems disappointed in not being able to stay and watch Dock some more but she comes along.

As to Tink's questions Auslander says, "Mara is fine. The repairs are proceeding on schedule well technically ahead of schedule as we've contracted the Star Mages to help. The city is recovering and the people are as well as can be expected."

Garret looks at the ink on his bread in surprise. He says, "That's ink? I thought that was meat juice."

He thinks a moment and says, "Does the library have any snacks?"

Sesha [AC 35 /23 To/35 Fl] | HP 21/129 | CMD 33] 
Monday August 6th, 2018 11:45:35 AM

Sesha prestidigitates the ink on Garrets bread, giving it the taste of meat juice. She couldn't say for sure if it was entirely safe to eat, but if anyones stomach could handle it...

"There Garret. Bread saved."

As he opens the door, "Right this way Agatha and Sprocket, Oh, did you know we used magic to expand our Tower to it's current size? There's also a few levels below ground as well." Trying to distract Agatha from her unhealthy interest in disassembling Dock.
Seeing Auslander, "Hello Inspector" Zane says as he ushers the other two into the room.

Thank you so much Auslander, and you too Robert! If the details we are looking for are recorded anywhere it will be in one of the books down there

Tuesday August 7th, 2018 7:16:51 AM
Garret inked his bread and is surprised. He inquires about food at the library.

Sesha saves Garret’s bread.

Zane brings Agatha in and tries to distract her from Dock.

Wyarr mentions he doesn’t have a library pass.

Beri thanks Auslander and starts thinking back to what Gargul told them.

Restlin asks for a reminder as to why they’re going to the library.

Bosk follows along, feeling a little out of his element.

In response to Garret’s question about snacks, Auslander says, “Well heavens no. Some of those manuscripts are ancient. Great care has to be taken to preserve them even with magicks so as such no food or drink is allowed in the library proper.”

Agatha and Sprocket follow behind Zane. Agatha says, “I believe I was present at the ceremony that installed your tower, granted I wasn’t a participant but I could still see everything that was going on. As for your crystalline construct friend I’ve honestly never seen anything like him and would really like to understand how he works for research purposes.”

Auslander says to Wyaar, “I totally forgot about that sir Wyaar. You’ve just seemed to naturally fit in that I take for granted you recently came back to it.”

To Robert he says, “Please add another new 1 year library pass for Wyaar Mudlynn to your todo list.”

Robert continues to nervously stammer, “Of c-c-c-c course sir.”

Sense Motive: (DC 21 Highlight to display spoiler: {Robert seems young for a notary public and isn’t used to being in the presence of such illustrious figures as the Iron Dragons)}

You entertain Agatha, Sprocket and Auslander while Robert the notary scribes away at his documents. He has to stop every now and then to sharpen his quills and he fumbles in his pocket for a specific stamp but eventually he seems satisfied with his handy work. He hands the stack of documents back to Auslander for his inspection.

Auslander just nods at the stack of papers and then hands them out to the Dragons they go to. To Garret Auslander says, “Do take better care of this one Master Goodbarrel and don’t tell the librarians about the poor state of your previous credentials or else they might not let you in to the library at all.”

Tink recalls the times that she has felt nervous around others. She tries to come up with some way to help Robert feel at ease.

"Relax, Robert. You're doing a fine job" she says as calmly as she can. "We haven't had the pleasure of meeting many legal folk here - much to my disappointment. The Inspector wouldn't have called you here if you weren't suited to the task."

Tink would like to become a legal mentor for Robert, but now is not the time to cover such things.

Garret munches down the bread and tells Sesha, "Tastes like meat juice, thank you!"

When Auslander gets ready to hand him the paper, Garret licks his fingers to try and get the meat juice off them before grabbing the paper. He looks at it, then carefully folds it gingerly...then crams it into his pocket that had previously held the bread. He nods and says, "Right, no food or drink in the library." But then he mumbles, "I'm sure that doesn't mean no snacks, though..."

"I hear wizardly folks are fond of books." Wyaar comments to Restlin, "though I can see the ink stains and dust being a problem for you.. We'll get you gloves and a scarf to wear."

Wyaar thanks Auslander and the scribe for the pass before tucking it away in his pants.

Ah, well there are a couple things I am wanting to check for in the library. The first is general research as our instructions were intentionally vague and alternative possibilities were hinted at. I honestly have no clue what those might be, but I'd be a fool not to look into every tip a god provided me.

With that the druid absent mindedly runs his finger over the dimple on his forehead, remembering what happened last time hi didn't fully embrace what Gargul had told him.

The other thing I would like to look into are the preferred attack methods of both the one we are looking for, and the one who we are expecting to subdue him. The fight sounds like it's going to be a little too evenly matched for comfort, and I'd like to tip the scales in the Wold's favor. Also, I learned the hard way how quick a god can kill you, I'd like to know what we're up against so I can avoid a repeat of this afternoon.

Tink reassures the scribe.

Zane rambles a little, clearly not knowing what everyone’s talking about.

Garret very carefully messes up his pass by accident. Then hopes that even with no food there would be snacks.

Sesha answers Restlin’s question.

Wyarr comments that Restlin would need something to not mess up his nice clothes in the dirty books.

Beri explains what he wants to research.

Restlin is ready to go and offers Sesha to be his +1

Bosk follows along, not sure what he can do to help but willing to try his best.

Robert the notary says to Katinka, “I’m s-s-s sorry Ma’am. You are kind of a living legend being a high ranking Justicar and Iron Dragon member. I just don’t feel my work is necessarily up to the task of serving Dragons.”

Auslander says, “Pish, man. You graduated top of your class and I haven’t had you create documents or certify anything that wasn’t top notch. I asked for you personally because I like your work and I know if I ask you to do something it will get done.”

Auslander then says in response to Zane’s remark, “My memory isn’t great today. Robert please create one more library pass that is good for a year in the name of Zane Stormfront.” To Zane Auslander says, “Forgive me my good fellow. Even if the library can’t help you with your undertaking perhaps it will provide you with other information related to your heritage once things settle down?”

Upon seeing Garret stuff the pass into one of his pockets and hearing him mumbling under his breath about snacks Auslander says to Restlin, “Might I have a word with you?”

Restlin or Perception DC 40 Highlight to display spoiler: {Auslander advises you keep an eye on Garret while at the Library so he does not do something to upset the librarians as celebrities or no they have been known to ban people for not handling the documents in the library properly}

After handing the final pass to Zane, Auslander asks if there is anything else the Dragons need before heading on his way. (OOC: Please feel free to add anything in next post and I’ll deal with it)

With that a trip to the library is in order. You arrive at the sprawling library complex, surprisingly it would appear whatever magics are in effect kept the grounds of the library mostly intact despite having the recent events involving the Sargrass.

You open the large oaken doors to find a vestibule with an elderly matronly seeming woman behind the counter wearing lenses. She looks up behind the counter and says, “I hope you all have valid library passes because we are not open to the public. If you do have your passes, then what can I help you find today?”

Tink overhears Auslander's comment to Restlin and it gives her reason to smile.

With her CC shopping complete, some crafting done, a little training, Tink finally feels ready to hit the adventuring trail again. What better place to start than a library!

"Yes, uh, could you please direct us towards any documents that may mention granting sentience to a machine?" she speaks in a very hushed voice "Tomes, manuscripts, any sort of document would be quite helpful" Tink holds her library pass out for inspection.

(Of course Tink has Profession, Librarian...)

Restlin gives Auslander a nod, though he's not sure how to keep Garret out of trouble AND get work done. A tall order to be sure.

That said, Restlin's a smart guy.

On their way to the library, he stops at a confectioner's and buys the biggest, sturdiest jaw-breaker they have. He wants the thing the size of his fist. He'll use polymorph any object to make a small one bigger if need be.

When Garret arrives at the Library, Restlin hands over the gloves of his special suit that always remain clean no matter what and suggests Garret try them on.

He then casts Sympathy on the jaw-breaker, making it irresistible to members of the Goodbarrel family.

Garret must make a DC 42 will save or be fascinated by the jaw breaker and unable to leave it alone. SR check is 35. If he succeeds on the will save, he must check again in 30 minutes.

Restlin will keep Garret occupied until he fails a save and becomes enraptured by the jawbreaker. Once he's safely eating the massive thing, he'll join Tink in her research. He will stay near the halfling, pondering things aloud where he can hear. Dude may be a handful, but he has moments of brilliance.

Knowledge, Arcana: 51 - Restlin should have a good idea where to start looking, at the very least.

Garret smiles when Restlin hands him the gloves. He tries them on and says, "I guess they're neat. Is this something I need to have in the library?" When Restlin hands over the jawbreaker, Garret takes a look at it (will save: 45!). He licks it all around and continues to handle it. He says, "Tastes nice." He starts to look around the library, but eventually starts spending more and more time on the jawbreaker (second will save, 35). "MMmmMMmm...."

Zane makes some comments over the rings as he goes with the rest to the Library. "I'm only worried about Dock, when Agatha is near him, I told Dock he could remove anyone from his decks that he didn't like, just not to hurt them as he does so. Agatha wants to "explore" our new friend, and I'm seriously worried about her exploration style."
At the Library he shows his new Card and after hearing what's needed, he starts looking for the information on Constructs....

Beri hands the librarian his updated card.
He then withdraws a list of the topics he wanted to try to look for

It seems that our enemies have started to do their homework on us and made preparations.
We need to do the same if we want the Wold to survive.
Could you tell me what shelves I might find books detailing Kevintar and Marteus?
Specifically about their their strengths and weaknesses, past combat, their final days, and Bone Tower.

There is also a cult that moved into that area that are I'm curious about. I believe the cult has been around for some time, and while they only recently have been of note records of their preferred magics and weapons would be nice to find.

Oh, and any documents you may have telling tales of a free-willed undead construct would be extremely helpful.

Sesha watches Beri with a bit of a smile. It wasn't like him to take charge of research like this. Usually he let Restlin or Bosk find out what was needed. Perhaps being Gargul'd was enough to motivate anyone.

She quickly and suddenly has a gut impulse to look for Garret. If he snuck in food, but not a napkin, books were in danger.

DM Mitch

Tink asks about sentient machines

Restling gets and enchants an enormous jawbreaker to keep Garret busy.

Garret starts to enjoy the jawbreaker, though he’s able to resist the enchantment at first.

Zane explains he’s only worried about Dock around Agatha; it can take care of itself otherwise.

Wyarr agrees with Zane’s point and suggests they always have someone escorting her when she interacts with Dock.

Ber asks about books on the gods, bone tower, cults, and free-willed constructs.

Sesha wonders if Beri’s recent experience with Gargul is what is driving him to research so hard.

The librarian looks at Tink and says, “Sentience to a machine? You mean like constructs and golems? While the library does keep some tomes about this practice for historical purposes access to said tomes is generally heavily restricted, however seeing as you are the Iron Dragons and your papers do all seem in order I do suppose I could grant you access to these tomes.”

To Wyaar she says, “We have historical texts detailing the saga of Gargul and his twin punishers. You are free to peruse them if you like. I’m not sure if we have anything as detailed as what you are looking for because a lot of the chronicles took artistic license at certain points in time. We do have a number of treatises on the bone tower though as it is a really interesting structure that has captured the interest of many Woldians. As far as your cult inquiries go we do have books on cults in general but I don’t believe anyone has written anything recently regarding the particular cult you have been having run-ins with. I’ be more than happy to send for someone to gather the books we have on cults but I’m not sure if it would be worth your time. As for your question about a free-willed undead construct the best we can do there is some illustrated children’s books about a being from another world who died was brought back as an undead using powerful magic and merged with a magical suit of armor. The kids really seem to love this one for some reason, I don’t get it but I digress...Why don’t I have someone show some of you to where we keep the tomes on constructs and others of you can go to where we keep our historical texts on Gargul. I’ll send someone to deliver the books on the Bone Tower and cults there as well. I’m honestly not sure if we have anything that will satisfy all your inquiries but we will do the best we can. ”

She rings a bell and a grizzled looking bald dwarf with a red bird appears from a hidden passageway. “Quimby, please escort some of the Iron Dragons to the special collections. They are interested in learning what we have about constructs and golems. Take the rest to where we keep the historical texts concerning Woldian Deities specifically Gargul. They are looking for books related specifically to Marteus and Kevintar. Also please dispatch someone to gather any document on the bonetower or cults and deliver them to the historical Deity section.”

Quimby bows to the assembled Dragons and starts escorting you down the passage he came from. A short while later you emerge into a wide room with a fireplace and several rows of book shelves. He says, “This room houses our historical texts on Woldian Gods. That shelf, that shelf and that shelf pertain to Gargul. Someone will bring you texts concerning the bone tower and cults if some of you will wait here. The rest of you follow me.”

Those that decide to look into the construct texts follow Quimby down more passageways zigging and zagging and finally ascending a spiral staircase. Quimby says, “We keep our special collection in a place that is hard to get to. Not many people are allowed to view them but if giving you access to the collection would enable you to better save the Wold who are we to keep you from it. He takes a key from his belt and opens a heavy metal door (Appraise 30 Highlight to display spoiler: {The door appears to be a mithral alloy})
Those who made the journey to the special collectiona are greeted by a richly appointed chamber in dark oak with plush chairs and stacks on stacks of books and scrolls as well as various chests. Quimby goes to one of the corners, pulls out a chest, grabs another key from his belt and opens the heavy lock on the chest.

Garret follows along with the group to the first room. When a couple of the dragons start looking at books, he plops down on the ground and noisily continues sucking on the jawbreaker, occasionally taking it out of his mouth to look at it, and then licking it before shoving it back in his mouth. The gloves occasionally get piles of gooey mess on them, but the apparently clean themselves. Not surprisingly, Garret doesn't really notice.

Permanent detect magic & spellcraft autopass.

Restlin takes a look at the book Tink put down. "Iron Golem manual. Not immediately helpful, but maybe we can extrapolate some way to include intelligence and free will into their creation. Put it in the maybe pile."

Know, Arcana: 47, INT check autopass.

"Lots of stuff here about making golems, but not much...wait...check here. There's something about using the crystals from the Crystal Mountains back in the Sargrass to create something like...Dock." He puts the book down. "Hey Zane, you seem to understand Dock's beeping. Maybe you can go see if he was made from Crystal Mountain materials?" He puts the book in the "this may be important pile."

Know, Religion: autopass

"Look here. Says Kevintar just walked into that cage Gargul made for them, while Marteus raised some heck...so why's Kevintar now deciding to go all rogue on Gargul?"

Know, Engineering: 44

"Woah...check this out. That bonetower exists simultaneously in multiple dimensions. That's why it was used to jail the two gods. Book's out of date, though. Still says the orc tribe is guarding it. Supposedly they used to hold tournaments for folks who wanted to get in. Guess the Death Dragons didn't have time for formalities." He puts the book in the "this is definitely important" pile.

Know, Religion: Autopass

"Nothing useful about our cult here. They're not the first to try and set Kevintar free, though."

Restlin stands and stretches, worn out from all the research. "Our best bet may be seeing if there are ways into the Bonetower from the other dimensions it touches...aside from just following Gargul's convoluted key instructions. I'll do some more research into it, see if we can't figure out what dimensions it touches. We may have to do some scouting after that, poking for ways in."

He then does just that, digging in and trying to find which dimensions the Bonetower touches.

Beri digs through the ancient tomes and learns a ton... such as the fact that ancient tomes are hard to decipher. It's as if the scholars went our of their way to make things sound as complex and as hard to decipher as possible. Perhaps they were able to charge more for their books if they sounded complicated. He wonder's briefly where the children's books are that were mentioned. He is glad that Restlin is able to make better use of them then he is.

That's a great idea. It sounds like it shouldn't matter where we enter, so it would be in our best interest to not used the most heavily guarded entrance.

As for Kevintar, I wonder if he was also somehow tricked into thinking Gargul gave him commands... or it could just be that a lifetime of solitary confinement slowly drove him crazy. Can't say I'd blame him.

I guess that just leaves the free-willed undead construct. As far as I know, those illustrated children's books are our best lead, unless you think we'd be able to scry for the construct based on just the general description we have.

Tink doesn’t have much luck researching.

Garret sits down and enjoys his jawbreaker.

Wyarr plays errand boy.

Zane quickly gives up and camps next to Garret to keep him out of trouble. Then something Restlin says perks him up and he leaves.

Restlin really shows his research chops and quickly pulls all the important information out of the tomes.

Beri hits the children’s section.

Bosk heads out to get other business done.

Zane flies off looking for Dock. He manages to locate the construct using its rescue cranes to clear debris.

After some chirping from Dock, Zane manages to get the impression that the crystal that made Dock did come from the Crystal Mountain at some point but it was changed somehow. Dock knows it was built but it doesn’t know by who. Dock had been minding its business when all heck broke loose and ended up captured and enslaved by the blood grass lich and forced to serve as a power source for the giant castle and escape pod.

Beri rings a bell and Quimby appears, the dwarf says, “The illustrated children books? That is an unusual request but follow me.”

He leads you back down the twisting and winding corridors into a room filled with pillow chairs and shorter book shelves. “I believe the tails of the undead warrior and his magical suit of armor are somewhere over there.” the dwarf points.

After some digging Beri finds a couple books of an unusual art style (black ink on white paper with characters who have big eyes with small mouths) depicting the adventures of a character with the strange name of Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man. In the first book of the series Mega Cyber Robo Ninja man was just a normal guy well normal for that world. Apparently people drove around in vehicles reminiscent of dock except with wheels instead of the ability to fly and made from what appears to be metal instead of crystal. He died horribly due to an ambush by organized criminals and was brought back after a fashion using the most unusual magic techniques Beri had ever seen illustrated. He was fitted with what seemed like a magic suit of armor that had further strange procedures done on it and after everything was complete Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man had a magic sword, a small range weapon that could knock people back or damage them like an odd shaped wand and a large range weapon reminescent of Dock’s armament when it was under the influence of the blood grass lich. The rest of the books detail him teaming up with a gang of people wearing strange hair styles and carrying odd equipment and fighting against other larger constructs. The books don’t really list an author’s name and it appears they were rebound from whatever their original cover had been.

Restlin doesn’t really find much about what dimensions the bone tower may interact with. The problem seems to be that no one really ever wrote about it. Whether it was because their expeditions into the tower lead to their deaths or just because the tower hadn’t really been fully explored is hard to say.

There is some speculation in a manuscript by a Bard named Rupert the Mirthful that the dimensions the tower connects to hold some kind of special significance but it doesn’t really go into detail about what that significance could be and there was an oral tradition of a prophecy of the significance of the connected worlds being revealed when the timing was right.
(OOC: anything else you want to look up in the library?)

As the jawbreaker slowly starts to get smaller, Garret pops it in his mouth and tries to bite it. Of course, it does not break. He noisily pulls it out of his mouth and continues slurping on it, making yummy noises as he does so.

Restlin slams the last book shut. "Nothing concrete. It looks like the dimensions the tower connects to are significant, not random. Some prophecy says it would be revealed when the 'time is right', but I'm guessing that's when we're supposed to be doing the key ritual Gargul taught us. It may be too late to start improvising.

"I think we should go get ourselves a stupidly expensive dinner, have a few drinks, then brainstorm for a while and see if we can't come up with a theory ourselves. If we come up empty handed, we go back to finding the proper keys."

As they leave the library, Restlin ends the sympathy spell on the jawbreaker before Garret tries to swallow it whole and chokes.

Know, Arcana: 51
Know, Planes: also 51

Restlin thinks real hard about what dimensions the tower exists in.

Tink silently broods. This is a library, a place where she should be able to find anything on any topic of her choosing. Here she stands without any information at all.

She tries to console herself with the fact that the Hook City library is so closely guarded and with so many archives that even the most learned of scholars was bound to get lost from time to time.

Garret tries and fails to chew on the jawbreaker.

Restlin suggests they all eat and ponders more about the tower.

Zane hangs out with dock for a bit then heads back looking for a clothing shop along the way.

Beriothian asks more about the children’s book he found.

Tink is annoyed about her lack of success finding out more information. She tags along with Beri to see what he can find out.

Sesha agrees with Restlin

Bosk wonders if the robot man from the children’s story might be a golem.

Wyarr muses more about the golem and it’s possible sentience.

As the dragons prepare to have a stupidly expensive dinner (OOC: everyone deduct 10 gold per person; more if you are feeling generous as equipment section lists a banquet at 10 gp per person) Restlin thinks long and hard about what possible dimensions the tower could exist in. The problem with other dimensions is they could be as similar to or as different from their current reality as one can imagine. When you had your encounter with the other dimensional orbs pre-Sargrass you noticed most of the worlds you visited were almost alternate versions of your own though some had terrible outcomes.

Zane is able to make his special purchase for Garret (OOC: deduct an additional 2 sp for the cloak)

Quimby looks a little taken aback by Beri’s question about the origins of the strange book and the rebinding. He says to Beri, “Well here’s the thing about those books, they were found during the events involving the mist prior to the Sargrass invasion. It’s like they came in with the mist, the odd thing is that none of them had covers. Multiple copies too. We managed to secure the ones that were in the best shape and conventionally bind them. The thing is they are just so unique and the kids do seem to love them but we’ve had mages check and there isn’t magic or anything on them so they are safe to read we think. Alchemically the ink and paper seems to be different from the ink and paper we typically use but that shouldn’t be a problem. Just seems strange how the world depicted in those tales is so much different than our own. Then again weren’t the orbs different too?” he asks you.

You take in your meal, you have Dock (a sentient free willed construct), some information about Gargul, Marteus, Kevintar, the bone tower, golems and cults and a mission from Gargul to actually go to the bone tower and free Kevintar. While the strange rebound books detailing the adventures of Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man were interesting you don’t really know who wrote them. They did turn up recently during the time when the orbs were popping up all over Hook City so it is possible that the books themselves came from another dimension, it would certainly fit with the alchemical oddness noted by examiners but even if the books came from another dimension how could you use that to help you? What do you want to do next?

Garret hears the others talking over the rings, but he really likes the jawbreaker. He wonders why he hasn't been able to wear it down. It must just take even more licking on it before it wears down enough.

When the others leave, Garret doesn't even notice as he continues to focus on the jawbreaker. Someone has to go back and get him and gently prod him to his feet to get him to go to the dinner. The dinner finally breaks him out of his daze as the sight and smell of food are enough to distract him from the jawbreaker. He slips it into his pocket, still wet, of course, and smiles at the nice spread of food.

Zane arrives at the dinner and presents Garret with the new eating cloak. "Garret, this is to keep you from spilling food onto the floor, see there is pockets at the bottom of the short cape to catch it. You wear it backwards so it covers your front when you eat."

Zane eats his fill, and then says, "So, there is a plan now?"

Sesha isn't much of an eater. She picks over some of the better fruits and vegetables, eats a little raw fish and soup, and saves most of her stomach for dessert.

She decides to wear pearl to dinner, and her dress has a sheen that is opalescent, like the inside of a sea shell.

After dinner, she decides that she has been passive enough in this process.

"I don't think so, not yet. But we shouldn't leave here tonight without one."

Restlin is much smarter than Carl. I'm making a straight INT roll to see if I can piece together all this information into some sort of...idea. Not a whole plan, per say, just trying to figure out if what we've learned may pan out into something, or if we should drop the whole other-dimension line of inquiry and start worrying about sentient constructs more.

INT check: 34

***

Restlin is mostly quiet during dinner as his mind turns. He feels like he may be on the verge of figuring something out. He could be dead wrong about that, but it's worth one final big thinking session.

He does get his gloves back from Garret, though. He gives them a good shake, but trusts in his suit's magic to keep itself clean, even of Garret level mess. He gives a nod to Zane's forethought.

"Tink, you've been awfully quiet tonight. Any bright ideas stewing?"

Beri sits down at the table. At first he thought about something light, but when he realizes they are going to an actual banquet the druid decides to get his moneys worth. He starts of with the rack of lamb, garlic mashed potatoes, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, and a nice Bordeaux to round it off.

As he eats he listens to the others discuss what to do next.

Well, as much as I'd prefer to go in with a plan, I fear that Gargul may have put us on a path that forces us to rely on blind faith and luck... so in other words, we are going with our default plan.

He told us we would need to "Go to Bone Tower. Defeat the cult that has already defeated the orcs formerly there. Secure the entrance. Find two free-willed corporeal undead, two free-willed constructs, and one free-willed undead construct who will declare their devotion to me. Also find five hearts, of creatures powerful and potent, hearts of virtue, sin, order, chaos, and balance. Enter the Tower with these allies..."

He also said regarding the plan that we could "disregard or adapt as fate prompts"... I have a hunch he knew we'd try to do things in a more logical order, and phrased it that way so we'd be able to accept that fate is forcing us to secure the tower, and only then find what we need to gather the rest of the requirements. And if we have to deal with the cultists first, my guess is that the cultists are on the same mission. They've probably spent the last few years hunting down the clues we are looking for now, and perhaps even obtained some of the requirements.

Do you think we could enlist the help of another band of orcs in helping over throw the cult? It could help preserve our spells, although then we run the risk of having to then defeat a band of orcs. I think a good starting point is seeing if Dock can recall anything about where he came from and who made him. We should also see if anything else came in through the mist. Agatha might know about that.

DM Mitch 
Tuesday August 14th, 2018 8:09:28 AM

Garret is eventually prodded into leaving the jawbreaker alone.

Zane gets Garret a cloak that acts as a bib and wonders aloud if they have a plan.

Sesha tells Zane no, there isn’t a plan yet.

Restlin wracks his considerable brains for a plan and a theoretical idea that is hypothetically possible slowly forms in his head. He remembers that Agatha and Sprocket used material from the gate from the Float in order to accomplish something with the first draft of their trans-dimensional device as the gate at the float has a property that allows it to connect to other places. The library seems to think that those Mega Cyber Robo Ninja man books came from some other reality. Mayhaps it is possible to use some or all of those books as a focus to establish some sort of connection to wherever the books came from in a process similar to whatever Agatha did with her prototype. Mayhap those books are some kind of historical narrative? If so actually going to the world where the books came from may allow them to find Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man or something like him. He’s possibly a construct, possibly an undead, possibly both. The procedures in the book done on his corpse and armor were very strange so who is to say what the final results of those odd magicks were? As much as Restlin loathes the Star Mages and Agatha, it might not hurt to at least pick her mind on what he is thinking. Mayhap she and Sprocket can make his vague idea a concrete reality? Mayhap they’ll be able to tell the others more about the strange procedures in the book at the very least?

Alternatively Beri rehashes what Gargul wants the party to do and speculates that they may be able to take advantage of any progress the cult had achieved if they go to put an end to their presence in the Bone Tower first.

Wyarr has no ideas to offer.

Bosk suggests they recruit some orcs in the area to help them retake the tower entrance.

Now that everyone’s eaten, what will you do next?

Garret looks at Zane and says, "What's wrong with spilling food on the floor?"

He looks down at the cape and says, "No matter, more pockets equals more food!" As the banquet appears, he tries out the pockets to see which kinds of food will fit best in them. When the food continues coming, he ignores the pockets and really starts eating...and eating. As Beri mentions the plan and the hearts, Garret mumbles, "Who wants to give up their hearts for this kind of sacrifice? Are we savages?"

Then you can hear a light snoring as Garret leans or falls back in his chair, as he has eaten himself into a solid food coma, a drumstick of some kind still clutched in one hand...

Zane repeats what Dock says he knows....

Quote:
After some chirping from Dock, Zane manages to get the impression that the crystal that made Dock did come from the Crystal Mountain at some point but it was changed somehow. Dock knows it was built but it doesn’t know by who.

Zane then says, "I know Agatha is currently being a help, but with the way she works without really thinking of the out come, do you think it's smart to give her any idea that she could create a construct like Dock? I doubt that whatever she should happen to create if she succeeded would be anything we'd want wandering around."

"Agatha is probably reliable in an unreliable sort of way. I have a feeling if we tell her that no matter what, and regardless of consequence, we need her to get us to the other dimension, she can make it happen. We might all show up as faeries wearing ivy and thongs, but by gosh she can get us there."

Sesha sips a light coffee, extra sweet with sugar and cream.

"Is taking a back door worth the risk of using her? Maybe. There's a lot to be said for not knocking on the front door of trouble."

Beri digs into a slice of spiced pear cake and a cup of coffee as the group discusses how to proceed.
In any case, I do think we should pick Agatha's mind on this. Her and Sprocket are the only two that seem to understand how this stuff actually works. If we go it alone, there is too much that could go wrong. If we were to find ourselves trapped in another dimension, that would be horrible enough, but our failure would mean that pretty much everyone in the Wold would suffer as a result as well.

Besides, I'm fairly confident that Agatha would be willing to put off any messing around with the constructs if we promise to give her sole access to this information. She's more interested in getting publications in the star mages than anything else, and wouldn't jeopardize her chance to be the first sole receiver of this info.

Finally, the lightbulb goes on.

"Beri. Did you check out those kids books? The one with the super majestic 'robo' warrior? IF they come from another dimension and IF they're not pure fantasy, that thing may be an aware construct as well. That dimension may be full of the things for all we know. It may even make that whole part of the ritual trivial."

He grabs Sesha's drink and downs it in a gulp, continuing on before she can protest. "Agatha and Sprocket know far more about dimensional doodads than I do, but if any energy from that other dimension exists and they can detect and focus it, we may be able to pay it a visit." He slumps back in his chair, mentally worn out.

Garret wonder’s what’s wrong with food on the floor before deciding it doesn’t matter. He also wonders who would give up their heart for this ritual.

Zane repeats what he knows about dock and wonders if it’s really a good idea to tell her enough that she might try to make her own.

Sesha points out that Agatha is pretty reliable and could probably get them to another dimension, though they might end up as fairies or something.

Wyarr thinks trying to convert some Orcs to the side of good would be a worthwhile endevor.

Tink thinks Wyarr’s idea would be tough but is willing to give it a shot. She muses on her dislike of the star mages and hopes they haven’t/won’t cause to big of a mess.

Beri points out the danger of trying the scheme on their own and that Agatha is more interested in publishing things than making things.

Restlin explains his brain storm to the group.

Bosk reconsiders everything that’s been found out or discussed up to now.

Wyaar and Tink seem to be keen on trying to give the front door a try after seeing if they can rally some orcs to their cause to retake the entrance.

While others have misgivings about going to Agatha, Restlin, Beri and Sesha think it could ultimately be worth the risk.

The next day when you go where Agatha and Sprocket are working on repairs you find the 2 in the vicinity of Dock though not onboard your new friend. Agatha does seem to have some strange device pointed at the sentient construct from afar and taking some readings.

She nonchalantly puts her device down and tries to play it cool as you walk up to her, “I’m not taking it apart, I’m just getting some readings with regards to the type and strength of magical auras emanating from Dock. The weird thing is the strength and type of auras that construct puts out seems to change based on what it is doing and the color of the large bottom gem that has something to do with its flight capabilities.”

“Anyway, it seems like you had a reason for coming to me, so what can I help you with?”

With no small amount of huffiness, Sesha gets another cup of coffe ordered, carefully measures in her cream and sugar, and drinks it on the defensive to ward away intrusive mage priests.

Sesha liked this woman. No one else did, really, but Sesha felt like she understood Agatha's doggedness to a cause that other people couldn't easily rally behind. She doesn't mind taking the lead.

"Hey Agatha, how do you feel about travel to alternate realities, sentient constructs that are also free willed, and breaking into places where gods are stored like dogs in a crate?"

Garret is feeling quite filled and content the next day. It has been some time when he has really had his fill of food for more than one meal in a row. He is all smiles as they find Agatha and Sprocket. Garret does a double-take at Sesha when she just blurts out the question about other realities and gods stored like dogs, mouth agape.

Restlin's respect for Agatha is growing, but he still checks her math to make sure her observations are just that.

Knowledge, Arcana: 59 - Is she just observing, or can this setup somehow interfere with Dock?

He's pretty sure he knows the answer to Sesha's question, so he continues. "The library's got some new books in the childrens' section that they're pretty sure came through during the dimensional rift extravaganza. They detail a world where sentient constructs exist with some frequency. We were hoping you could lend some assistance in visiting there if our hunches prove correct."

Before they had out, Beri remembers he's been forgetting to ask Restlin's help.
Oh, Restlin, before I forget, I have a few permanent spells I want to get, would you be able to cast the actual spells for me later?

When they get to the repair site there isn't much more for Beri to ask. He waits for Agatha to hear their request and see if she has any sguggesions.

Sesha decides to lead the conversation with Agatha and asks a question.

Garret is feeling content and is surprised at Sesha’s question.

Restlin further clarifies what they’re after.’

Zane talks to Dock.

Beri asks Restlin about permanent spells being recast.

Wyarr smiles politely and looks over the repairs in progress.

Tink also smiles politely but is more suspicious.

Agatha says to Sesha, “You know my interests in other dimensions and why I am so interested. A place where Gods are created could also be useful for our end goals. As far as sentient constructs, the concept is certainly fascinating. I have been studying your new friend and it would certainly be a feat to create something like him.”

Restlin gets the impression Agatha’s instrument is a detector not an emitter so it can’t interfere with Dock’s functioning. Tink gets the impression that Agatha is being honest with them.

After hearing of your recent trip to the library she holds up a hand and says, “Let me show you something. She claps her hands and Sprocket drags a metal suitcase about the same size as the gnome himself over to where you are. She undoes the latches on the suitcase and opens it up to reveal multiple copies of the strange tale of Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man.

She says, “I collected these samples during the orb events pre Sargrass invasion. I thought they might come in handy as the technique used to produce the paper and the ink is alien to me. Honestly I had intended to try to use these to calibrate a potential destination for my portal generator but so much else has kept me away from trying that. I do wonder though if the place where these books came from are the origin of the story itself. Perhaps the denizens of this dimension are spreading the word they received from another dimension elsewhere in the multiverse. I honestly don’t know if we can calibrate a gate to get to the dimension to books came from and if we do I don’t know if it will be stable enough to go back. It is quite possible that the journey itself is a one way trip, however if you brought the right person and tools along you could probably get to another dimension from the origin dimension of the stories if you absolutely had to thus mitigating the risk of the dimensional trek being one way. Though honestly if you have to keep leap frogging dimensions, not able to go back the way you came I’m not quite sure how long it would take you to find another point that intersected with your home dimension. I’ll tell you what why don’t you give Sprocket and me a day or three with our portal device prototype and the books we collected and see if we can’t establish a connection with the source dimension. As I said it might not be possible. If it is is possible we’ll send for you and I and you can follow the trail of these strange stories wherever they lead.”

Dock chimes to Zane that it has taken a few breaks and is enjoying the work.

Restlin nods at Beri's request. "Of course, dude. No problem. Just need a bunch of diamond dust. I've got a few I need to re-cast on myself anyway. We'll make a play date out of it."

He should have known Agatha and Sprocket would be on top of this, but their news isn't too heartening. The thought of leaping from dimension to dimension, striving to find sentient constructs, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home...well, he'd rather not go down that path.

He does let Zane know that Agatha's current contraption doesn't affect Dock in any way, just in case he was concerned.

"Ok friends, we all have things we need to do personally to prepare. What's say we give these two time to do what they need to do while we go prep ourselves?"

Flying down to the others, Zane lands gives a look at the gizmo Agatha has pointed at Dock and listens to the rest of the conversation....

Beri examines one of the books.
If you have enough copies to spare, I think we'd all like a chance to go over the story of Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man to figure out how to proceed and any details we can about how that dimension differs from ours.

I see why we need to use the books to anchor us to the other dimension, I assume that we have a lot more options to choose from in our own dimension. Is there anything particular that we can look for that will provide a stronger anchor or beacon to make it easier to find our way back ?.

DM Mitch

Restlin agrees to help Beri with her permanent spell and suggests they all go do prep while Agatha works on her experiment.

Garret refers to something called sliders.

Zane talks to dock some more before joining the rest of the group.

Sesha asks about borrowing one of the books.

Wyarr is equally curious about them.

Beri asks if there’s some what to improve their odds of getting back home.

(OOC: DM Hugh: I’m sorry I forgot all about your leadership feat; I was supposed to make some NPCs that I never got around to; I don’t suppose Mitch could come up with some cohort tryouts? If not maybe I’ll be able to free up some time next weekend

DM Mitch: see e-mail.)

Agatha says to Sesha, Wyaar and Beri , “You may all borrow a copy but we may need all the books to act as a focus, you see we aren’t aiming at the pictures or anything.” she emphasizes to Beri.

She explains, “We are using the unique alchemical signature of the paper and ink to attune it to other similar signatures that may be out there. The reason why we used pieces of the Float gate originally was because of a similar attunement.”

She says, “As for an anchor point in our own dimension we would need to take something with us that is as unique to the Wold as we can find in as much of a quantity as possible. She considers Dock and says, “If he is made from Crystal Mountains Crystal he may be able to serve as a focus to get us home, well potentially to the vicinity of the shattered Crystal Mountains but at least the remnants aren’t too far from here relatively speaking. Unless of course there is some time dilation in which case we could potentially end up in Ma’ab’s pocket dimension...that does beg the question could you cross paths with your selves during the events of the Sargrass invasion? If you did could you change the future or in our case the present? What would happen if you didn’t rescue Dock or he got destroyed because of something you told your other selves? Paradoxes abound. Hopefully there isn’t time dilation as thinking about it just makes my head hurt but of course we are playing around with things that have that kind of potential. We may figure out a way to bring back Janiterri and Serenbeth yet.” she says with a twinkle in her eye looking directly at Sesha

I'm not too worried about meeting my past self. If I was going to run into me I already would have the first time I went through those events. Of course, I don't subscribe to the belief that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a nonlinear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff. Hmm... let me try that again. I don't believe that it's a single line that erases itself if someone messes with past events, but instead creates an alternate future with a second distinct set of us. In fact, we've already met ourselves in an alternate future... we were pretty nice guys.

Honestly, I think the real danger with messing with the timelines is that you run a high chance of angering several of the gods of the Wold.

As Tink leaves with Restlin she takes some time to slowly wander amongst the people of Hook.

Restlin goes to prepare

Garret farts.

Sesha realizes she had almost forgotten the reasons she had joined the Consortium.

Tink goes with Restlin to prepare, but divirts to wander town and talk to the people.

Beri poo poos the risk of running into themselves or messing up time.

Bosk warns they should be careful about returning gods.

Zane wonders why they can’t use themselves as a focus to get back.

Wyarr comments that it’s all rather complicated.

Agatha says to Sesha, “Yes well your newest adventure seems like it could hold keys to many questions so keeping an eye out for places where that could happen is prudent.”

To Bosk she says, “Yes we wouldn't want to have to deal with that mess all over again.”

To Zane she says, “No for some reason living material can’t act as a focus. Material that is nonliving can. Ergo my suggestion of your construct friend as a focus.”

To Wyaar she says, “I’ll consult you if insight into Maab is needed.”

To Beri she says, “I already said this stuff makes my head hurt. We can debate the philosophical nature of time and space some other time but right now Sprocket and I have work to do. I’m not sure if I care if I offend the Gods if Janiterri is able to make her return. She was once one of them and they did nothing when her and her sisters were lost.”

When Tink goes to wander off, Garret quickly scampers after her. He has enjoyed the residents of Hook, especially near the tower, and he has come to know many of them. He bounces along, waving and greeting those he knows and introducing himself to those who may not know him yet.

Zane considers other options....He's sure Dock will go with them, but he hates even asking, because the Ship feels like it owes them something.... and trying to explain to the ship that he doesn't would only confuse the situation. He heads back to the tower, and takes Starblazer out for a spin around the City.....

Beri agrees with Agatha
I suppose that's true. And as much as I think time should work a certain way, there's no reason the powers of the Wold would necessarily have agreed with that logic when they created it... or even that it needs to work in a consistent manner. I suppose we'll find out soon enough. No matter what, it's bound to be interesting.

Garret joins Tink in wandering the town.

Zane tries to figure out how to ask Dock to accompany them but isn’t sure. He takes Starblazer out while he thinks.

Restlin]/b] hits the catacombs then reads a book.

[b]Tink comments that it’s good to see things going back to normal.

Beri muses on the nature of time to Agatha before she leaves.

Bosk wonder’s how Serenbeth’s return would affect the other gods.

Wyarr joins Restlin in book reading.

Among the people Garret and Tink greet are some of those the dragons helped with that spat of explosive rune driven terrorism a while back.

Zane tries to think of other alternatives besides bringing Dock with them on their journey, he doesn’t want to pressure the construct into going with them as it might feel obligated but isn’t not asking it in the first place another form of making a decision for Dock?

Agatha says to Beri, “It’s funny but I once heard an old curse that went something like ‘May you live in interesting times’ when translated into common. Makes you wonder who cursed us?”

Bosk wonders if Serenbeth or Janiterri came back would they hold a grudge against their surviving sister who lived on when they were lost. He also wonders if Serenbeth or Janiterri came back would they have the power they once had or would they be relegated to immortal power status while Jancassas is still a God in Her own right.

I guess that leaves me with some of the most fun research I've had to do in a while. We'll bring the books back in the morning, hopefully with some clues about where to find either Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man or the author of these tails. Oh, I probably should have asked this before, but do you know if Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man is one of the good guys? It sounds like it from the name, but who knows how those things work in another dimension.

Garret does tricks for the children.

Restlin does a lot of bookwork.

Zane flies about the city with the two airships keeping his eye out for crewmen.

Sesha goes to see her cohort.

Beri thanks Agatha and wonders if the character in the book is a good guy.

Bosk goes to the WLA.

When Sesha shows up at the coven Y’zargo asks, “I know you have taken that mage priest as a consort Matron but would you object if I got to know Sister better? Last I checked she was unattached.”

Y’zargo flirts with Sesha later when she goes to restore her spells, “Is there anything else you need from me besides some magic?” he asks with a wink.

Agatha says to Beri, “Well he was murdered by organized criminals. I think he used his ninja skills to fight crime and they didn’t like it. Per the books Whatever strange magic was employed brought him back, gave him strange weapons and armor and he met up with other folks wearing strange outfits and ended up fighting against an evil scientist and his robot army. I think robots must be a type of construct and I guess a scientist is a type of spellcaster we don’t have around these parts. I would think he would be considered good unless maybe he’s from one of those stories where no one is really good and everyone is just kind of a different shade of grey.”

Tink plays along with Garret’s antics, pew pewing him.

Garret continues to entertain the children.

Restlin jumps up to join Bosk on his WLA trip.

Zane goes fishing.

Wyarr reads.

Bosk considers picking up the leadership feat.

The crowd applauds Tink and Garret’s theatrics and a smattering of copper coins are tossed for their efforts.

Zane takes Starblazer out fishing. (OOC: Please roll a Profession[fisherman] or survival check to determine how well your fishing trip went)

Beri has a pen and paper ready as he begins to read about Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man. Before the main character has his aforementioned moniker he didn’t seem that remarkable by his native world standard. He was a ninja who fought crime but there seemed to be a decent amount of ninjas in his world, true not all of them fought crime but organized crime did seem to be a problem.

So much so that he was ambushed by criminals weilding a bunch of strange range weapons while he was riding around in a wheel vehicle that seemed to be almost like a metal version of Dock.

After that he underwent the strange magical procedure that turned him into Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man.

Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man met up with a character named Lazerhawk and a band of barbarians in strange raiment to fight against Dr. Henrichzimmerschneit a villain who has been terrorizing the populace with his robot body and servants.

The rest of the stories seem to detail Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man’s run in with Dr. Henrichzimmerschneit and his robotic servants.

As Tink and Garret continue to explore town they notice a commotion at the riverfront. Large crowds are gathering to look at something floating down the river. Upon approaching the pair can see it’s a large cobbled together looking boat that is absolutely swarming with Kobolds. There must be over a hundred of the things, all crowded onto it like drowning rats clinging to a piece of driftwood. There is no sail, just a jumble of poles and tree branches to push it off anything it catches on.

Currently however none of the Kobolds are manning the poles. They’re all staring up at the crowds that are staring at them. Sense Motive 20 Highlight to display spoiler: { they’re absolutely terrified, at the huge crowd of giants (to them) looking down at them.}

One of them climbs up the the highest point of the ship. A thick cloak covers it, but it throws back the hood revealing itself to all. Golden scales glimmer in the sunlight and it waves it’s staff energetically, almost making it fall off it’s precarious perch.

”WE HAVE COME FOR THE DRAGON!” it yells in a high, screechy voice.

”The Dragon!!” several of the Kobolds chant after their leader.

”THE PROPHESIED ONE!!”

”The prophecy!” they yell

”THE SAVIOR OF THE WOLD! THE DELIVERER!”

”THE SAVIOR!” the other Kobolds scream, caught up in the energy of the speech.

The effect is ruined slightly by the fact that they’re floating past as she speaks. Most of the crowd only hear half of it as they float by, and several children run along the waterside laughing so they can hear the whole thing. The Kobolds continue screaming and chanting about their prophesied one regardless. One burley one, not bothering to join the chanting, struggles to pole the boat towards the edge of the river so they can stop.

Perception 50 Highlight to display spoiler: {it’s hard to tell because they’re a ways off and it’s not like you know kobold physiology well but they seem… underfed. There’s a dull cast to their scales, they seem too thin, and many of them are just lying on the deck crocking out the chants as best they can while otherwise remaining still.}

(Carl wants to play along, and Restlin is out and about, so I'm gonna act like Restlin can notice this kerfuffle. If that's not jake, just let me know and I'll edit.)

Restlin hears mutters of Dragons and Saviors of the Wold, so figures they're probably talking about him and his friends. He stops Bosk with a hand to his chest as his ears pick up more. "Dude, we should go check that out." There's a light in his eyes that hasn't been there recently. He has overland flight active as always, but will cast a fly spell on Bosk if the taur needs it (and wants to join).

He flies up quickly (fly skill is autopass for just about anything in normal conditions) to spot the...kobolds? What the heck are kobolds doing here? He resists the urge to fireball the whole boat long enough to listen.

"The Dragon? There's a bunch of us. Who's *the* dragon?"

Over their shared link...

"Dudes and dudettes, we've got kobolds at the docks. They don't look threatening, but..."

He's so entranced by the sight, that he doesn't notice what dire straights they're in (nat 1 - 38 perception).

When Garret hears them mention wanting "The Dragon," he starts to raise his hand. But when they continue about the savior of the wold he pauses. He says to Tink, "Oh, this does NOT look good. Clearly they've heard something about us, and they think we can provide them something." He watches them float past and wonders where they will end up. With a sigh he says, "But we can't just let them flounder about now, can we?"

He says over the rings, "Folks, kobolds on a boat, floating along without any real control. I think we might need a flying ship down here to help them out before they float out to sea and get lost."

After a while he hears the others talking over the rings.
"We're on the way, I doubt they are trying to invade Hook City, but it may take more than one or two of you to deal with what sounds like that many Kobolds." Zane responds over the rings.
To Starblazer, "Head for home, it seems that there are some visitors floating down the river in the middle of Hook City. Enter the city via the river, in case we're needed to stop the raft or at least parts of it."
Zane lets Starblazer speed them back to Hook City.

Tink remains calm and ascends in the air so she can clearly see what is going on. At least the kids don't seem too bothered by it.

"They look malnourished" she relays over the link "The whole Dragon, Prophesised one and savior thing could go either way. Death Dragon Cultists maybe? If so, they don't seem like a huge threat to us, but stranger things have happened"

"They do look terrified though"

If it looks like they are trying to go in a certain direction or look to be headed for a hazard, Tink will cast a Wall of Force to help guide them along or protect them from harm.

Restlin interrupts his and Bosk’s trip to the WLA to investigate the commotion involving the Kobolds and he reports that to the rest.

Zane doesn’t catch anything at first, but with a little luck and patience he finally manages to catch 6 fish, each large enough to feed a single person for a day. They wouldn’t be much of a feast of and by themselves but mayhap he could supplement them with more fresh fish from the market or other foodstuffs in their stores. When he hears the news about the Kobolds he high tails it back to town.

Garret tells Tink that the Kobolds demands do not sound good and that they can’t just let them flounder about.

Beri takes to the sky in the form of an air elemental to also investigate the Kobold commotion.

Tink notes that they look underfed and that they might be referring to the Death Dragon cult not the iron dragons

As the Dragons all show up and join the gawking viewers the kobold leader continues to whip her followers up into a religious fervor. The burley kobold with the pole continues to futility try to pole the ship over to the docks by himself. Turning he yells in draconic, Highlight to display spoiler: { If some of you idiots don’t stop chanting and start poling we’re going to end up drowning in the ocean!}

A few of the kobolds near him look guilty and pick up a few poles and branches, but even with the extra help it looks like they won’t get to the bank before they float past town.

"Sister is a construct, with just enough free will to try to carry out my whims to the best of her ability. I'm fairly certain your union would break some laws, somewhere. She brings me comfort, I don't want you making her all icky."

Garret watches the others try to help with the Kobolds and looks for someone to send for Auslander.

Restlin figures he could wipe out the Kobolds with one well placed fire ball but then he figures that wouldn’t be heroic so he telekinetically drags them to shore.

Zane brings Starblazer around to water level and watches what happens next.

Beri flies out and helps push the boat back to shore.

Tink uses wall of force to help steer the boat

Wyaar makes his way to the docks with the others.

Meanwhile back at her coven, Sesha denies Y’zargo’s request re: Sister and says he’s free to nonmagically pursue any of the other members of her coven if he so desires. Y’zargo looks at her and says, “Matron, all the other members of your coven pale in comparison to you in terms of both beauty and power. Sister at least matches you in beauty and she is a part of your power but if she is not available then so be it.”

The ship is pulled up to the docks and the gawking crowd backs up as the Kobold leader runs across the boat to be the first one off of it. She looks up at the Dragons and tries to look tall and imposing. She fails miserably.

”WE ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE!” she bellows at the top of her lungs. ”the chosen!” the others repeat.

”SERVANTS TO THE GREAT GOLDEN ONE!” (The Gold One!)

”SHE HAS SENT US A VISION TELLING US TO SEEK OUT THE BRONZE ONE (the Bronze One!), THE SAVIOR (the savior!), THE MORTAL DRAGON (the dragon!). WE SHALL NOT LEAVE UNTIL WE SEE HIM AND LEARN OUR MISTRESSES’ PLAN FOR US! (We shall not!)”

While she’s doing all this yelling the burley one is working on the more practical problem of getting everyone off the boat. Now that they’re close it’s obvious that they’re sick and many are incredibly weak. Several he just has to pick up on his back an carry ashore, to weak to walk to and climb up the pier.

Perception 30 OR Heal 20 Highlight to display spoiler: { many of the Kobolds bear familiar scars; they’re survivors of the bloodgrass plague and it seems to have hit them very hard. It doesn’t help that they all seem to be starving.}

"Ok lady. It's obvious you and yours have been through a lot lately, but maybe showing up unannounced in large numbers and making demands is not the wisest of ideas. My friends and I protect this city, and possess no small amount of ability to do so." As he's talking, he starts channeling what little energy Wardd gives him, healing nearby kobolds (3 healing! woo!). "We're not heartless, and you're obviously not here to start trouble, so maybe we can start over in a friendlier manner."

He's not sure what exactly is going on, but all this chanting about the Bronze one, has him nervous. He doesn't know any other people who are part Bronze Dragons, with Kobold's being dragon-kin, they must also be talking about another Dragon-kin....
He walks up behind them and crosses his arms, waiting to see what's going to happen next....

Once the boat is ashore, the druid lands next to the rest of the Iron Dragons that are in front of the Koblds and transforms back into his human form .
Looks like Zane has made it here, and is preparing a dramatic entrance. I wonder how they will respond.

Tink joins in with Garret on crowd control. She makes sure none of the guards are getting a little trigger-happy.

Restlin notices how the kobolds have scars from the Sargrass and seem to be starving. He tries to start again in a friendlier manner speaking to the Kobold leader in draconic.

Garret tries to play crowd control.

Zane brings starblazer around and then lands on the shore nervous by all the chanting about the bronze one as he is the only bronze dragon kin he knows of around Hook City.

Wyaar channels a wave of positive energy into the Kobolds healing many of their injuries.

Beri joins the rest of the Iron Dragons transforming back to his normal form.

Bosk suggests they should start with feeding the Kobolds.

Tink helps with the crowd control, keeping an eye on the guards. The guards seem to be content with letting the Dragon’s handle this and are either staring or doing crowd control with Garret and Tink.

Zanes fears are quickly proved true as the Kobolds all look over at the landing ship and fall to their knees reverently in his presence. The big burly kobold almost drops who he’s carrying up a ladder as they gape at their prophesied hero.

The leader bows her head momentarily in respect before speaking in a surprisingly calm, not screechy or ranty tone. ”Bronze one. Long have journeyed to find you. My people need food, rest, and medical care. Will you aid us?”

The druid lets out a soft chuckle.
Well, one thing's for sure, these guys are determined little sailors. I don't envy the waters they must have braved on this rickety thing to get here, especially between the mess the red vines would have caused, and the waves that would have come from the meteor impacts.
Beri finds himself already growing fond of these guys, and can't wait to hear more about the vision that sent them here.

Zane looks at the Kobolds, as he does so, he glances at Wyarr and raises his left eyebrow. "Just how evil are they?" he asks over the rings to the Paladin.
To the Kobolds while he awaits a verdict, [b]"Well little ones, It seems that most of your injuries have now been healed. Any further injuries can be looked at as needed. I have a few raw fish aboard the ship behind me that can be provided any more food I'm sure can be provided. I also believe a place to rest can be found, if not I can arrange to have a temporary shelter built.
Now since those will be provided, what is this about a Bronze One and some Prophesy?"
Over the rings again, "Restlin, you have the mansion available to be cast? or not today? It'd provide food, and get them out of sight. Taking care of two problems at once. Also, can someone intercept Auslander before he gets here and throws a monkey into the problem and causes havoc?"

Bosk watches as Zane interacts with the Kobolds and shrugs. Turing to Restlin he whispers "Every town has its own weird customs. About a year before we met I spent six months on a moon where the principle form of recreation was juggling geese. Hand to God. Baby geese—goslings. They were juggled."

DM Mitch 
Wednesday August 29th, 2018 7:17:45 AM
Garret asks Zane over the rings if he was trying to attract an army of weak kobolds and if there was a prophecy about it.

Wyaar is curious to see what is going to happen but realizes this is Zane’s moment so he takes a step backward to watch.

Restlin is not used to being ignored but he takes a seat and watches what happens next.

Beri notices the kobolds are determined little sailors envisioning the rough water they must have dealt with on their way to Hook city.

Zane asks Wyaar to determine how evil the kobolds are and then lets the kobolds know that most of their injuries have been addressed and food and shelter can be arranged. Then he asks the kobolds for more info before asking Restlin if he has another castle to cast as he’d like to get the kobolds out of sight and also asks for someone to intercept Auslander to avoid a potential worse situation.

Bosk tells Restlin something about juggling geese.

The little kobold seems highly insulted at Zane’s offhand assumption that they must be some sort of evil. ”Our tribe has served the Golden one for centuries! We are the chosen few saved from the depravity of our ancestors and we have done nothing to earn your mistrust. How dare you accuse us of being evil the moment you meet us!” Most of the other kobolds looked shocked that she would speak so to their chosen one, cringing and cowering as they bow their heads to the ground.

The burley one, having set down his current burden, walks over. He speaks to the rest of the party in Draconic, ”So you’re friends of the chosen one or something? Look, I don’t really care but could you please stop gawking and get off your asses to help me get everyone off the boat before it sinks? Geez I thought the noble races were supposed to be smart.” He glares equally at the party and at the small crowd of overawed kobolds that should probably be helping but aren’t.

If anyone looks then they can tell that the boat is indeed taking on water. It’s a very slow leak but there are still several dozen kobolds still on the boat, either too weak or to in awe of their chosen one to get off the boat, way to many for the lone kobold to get off before the boat sinks.

"Smart enough to know not to insult the people that can help you" Tink relays over the link whilst smiling politely to Mr Burly.

Tink nods to Zane, and then heads off to find Auslander to brief him on the situation. "I'll go make sure noone rushes in to kill them"

OOC: Hey Mr. DM, Zane asked that over the ring. They shouldn't have heard, but since they did...let's have some fun.

Restlin looks sideways at Bosk. "We've known each other for years. We've fought and bled together, and you're just now telling me that juggling geese is a thing? When we're done with this..vault nonsense, we're taking a trip. I've got to see this in person."

Restlin doesn't typically prepare a mansion spell when he's in town, but he can use his focus.

Pulling Shiny out of its scabbard, Restlin slices through the air & creates the doorway to his mansion. If the water here is shallow enough, he'll also cast a wall of stone under the boat, stopping it from sinking and creating a bridge between it and the doorway. If possible, he'll do it right under the burly kobold jerk to knock him off his feet.

She says nothing, but her scowl is legendary. She whirls on Restlin.

"I leave for an hour and you start a kobold collection?"

Zane lets out a high volume whistle (whoooooo-EEEEEE!) and a few Beeps and boops like Dock uses to get his attention, he hopes that the ship will hear him and show up.
He also sees the "stone" appear under the Kobold's so called boat. As it does, he walks out on to it and stats picking up remaining kobolds along one arm. When the arm gets full (5 or 6 kobolds most likely) he picks one more up in the other hand.
"Even with the healing already given, it looks like these are too weak, probably from lack of food and water as well as drain and damage to their general constitutions from the red Sargrass. I can see the effects on some and they sure aren't as resilient as most of us. I may need to go to the catacombs again for a few dozen restoration potions.....
Oh, and thanks Restlin." Zane says as he nudges open the doorway in mid-air fully open and takes his armload into the sitting room.
To the rest of the Kobolds, [b]"The rest of you, follow me in here, you can stay the rest of the day here, that will give us time to make further arrangements. And I'm still waiting for an explanation about needing to see me?"

Beri addressed Bosk over the ring.
Would that be Wardd and Kerracles... as much as I want to call you a liar, that honestly sounds like something Wardd would do.
Beri looks at the ship and find a suitable empty container. He then pulls out his sustaining spoon and proceeds to fill it with a nourishing, if somewhat bland, gruel.
I'm afraid I don't have enough for everyone, but hopefully this will help those most in need feeling a little better.

ooc: The spoon can produce enough food to feed four humans a day. x3 meals, and with kobolds being about 40 pounds it should feed a good number of them

Thursday August 30th, 2018 8:36:43 AM
Tink nods to Zane and then goes off to find Auslander to make sure noone rushes the kobolds.

Restlin asks Bosk to show him the geese juggling after they take care of the Kevintar situation and then uses shiny to create a doorway to his mansion and creates a stone column to support the Kobold’s vessel and keep it from sinking.

Sesha says goodbye to her coven and goes to join the others. She whirls on Restlin when she gets there accusing him of collecting kobolds.

Wyaar detects evil on the crowd and reports back to Zane over the rings.

Garret joins Tink in looking for Auslander since the halfling figures Auslander will have some paperwork related to a kobold landing to attend to.

Zane grabs some of the weakest kobolds and heads into Restlin’s mansion encouraging the rest to follow him there as well.

Beri whips out his sustaining spoon and starts creating gruel to help the weakest kobolds have something at least to eat.

The burley kobold manages to avoid falling over and glares at Restlin. The leader bows deeply. ”Many thanks friend of the Bronze one. Come my people, let us take shelter in this strange portal.”

Between the party and a bunch of the Kobolds actually helping out now they get everyone inside. As the troop in Wyarr gets a good look at all of them with his detect evil. None of them register. That’s to be expected with most of them, as they’re too weak to show any kind of aura, but it’s safe to say that the leader and maybe the burley one should be strong enough to register something if they were evil. They do not.

The Kobolds seemed awe by the castle in a floating hole in the air. As they enter many of them stop and stand around gawking until the burly one yells at them to get out of the way for the rest of the group. Once the entire group is settled and eating (this place comes with food doesn’t it?), the weakest mostly eating the gruel from the spoon, the main two go off to the side to talk with the party some more.

Introductions finally happen. The leader introduces herself as Saasraa and the burly male is Kip. Saasraa is calm and collected, seemingly unsurprised by the extra-dimensional space. Kip tries to look unimpressed, but his eyes bug out a little and he keeps glancing around at the huge space in either suspicion or wonder.

”You must have many questions about who we are and how we came here. I will explain as best I can.”

Despite being very well traveled, Sesha had never actually met a Kobold before. Did they take tea? How did they drink it with snouts?

She had heard they smelled, so she sniffs the air, clandestine like. It couldn't be worse than either Garret or a Minotaur.

As Sesha sniffs the air, Garret walks by, headed to visit with the kobolds. He is eating meat on a stick that seems to have just appeared out of nowhere. He smiles and nods at the kobolds, trying to be as friendly as he can be.

Zane starts off, "My name is Zane Stormfront, these are my Friends.[b](Zane introduces the others)[b] Since we are now familiar with everyone, Saasraa why don't you explain your reason for your obviously dangerous journey to Hook City."

Zane grabs a large mug of ale from the table of food that comes with the Mansion. He then drops to a crossed leg sitting position, so as not to tower over them with his almost 11 foot standing height.

"I am not able to detect any evil in them," Wyaar reports over the ring, "Even then, we would still feed and shelter them."

Beri finds a comfortable chair and takes a plate of food to it. He has many questions such as where the kobolds came from, and the vision that started their journey, but he figures the Kobolds will cover the relevant events in due time, and as a general rule believes a full belly will bring lead to a better tale. No need to rush them, they've had a long trip

Restlin - will fix header later 
Thursday August 30th, 2018 11:33:13 PM
Restlin cracks his knuckles. His prestidigitation spell is about to get quite a workout cleaning up all these kobolds.

He makes sure they're shown to the banquet table, hopeful there's enough food for all of them. Maybe some of the party's divine members can summon more food?

Then, he gets to cleaning. He prestidigitizes each and every kobold, freshening them up as best he's able. He doesn't know what a kobold is supposed to smell like, so he's not sure if he's doing a good job, but he tries!

If it is approved by the DM, I would like to select my own cohorts and include some minor NPCs that Bosk had a relationship with who have been forgotten... Subject to DM approval, of course. I will try to write this up over the weekend. In particular, I am thinking of Heather Brorderys' family (she was a cleric of The Edge been she died, the first spirit Bosk advanced as an Avenger, one of her eyes was removed and is now the eye in the center of Bosk's forehead, and one of her brothers supplies Bosk with his Poison). Temujin (a doppleganger with memory loss). Hemust and Jillian who ran our shop in Mud Town. Etc. If you have problems with any due to abilities, I can make them the 1/3 relegated to domestic support.

As everyone enters the magical mansion you hear someone in the distance shout, “What’s all this then?!?” before the portal closes. Sounds like Auslander was late to the party. You’ll prolly be able to fill him in as to the situation afterwards.

Sesha stealthily sniffs the air having never met a kobold before and having heard they smelled. She can’t tell if it is the kobolds or Garret she is smelling.

Garret walks by with some meat on a stick as Sesha checks out the Kobolds.

Zane grabs an ale, introduces himself and asks for an explanation.

Wyaar informs that the kobolds don’t detect as evil over the rings.

Beri settles in with some food and a comfy chair to listen to the story.

Restlin starts up a car- no kobold wash. He mostly succeeds in cleaning them, though he also frightens many of them who are not use to magical invisible forces cleaning them without warning. A few see it coming and try to run or sneak past him.

Bosk listens in over the rings while getting his WLA training.

Tink keep a close eye on the Kobolds.

Saasraa pauses and considers for several moments. ”I suppose the best place to start is with a short history lesson. Long ago our tribe was like many Kobold tribes. Craven, envious creatures that hated the other races for their prosperity while lacking the courage or determination to truly advance their lot in life.”

Kip jumps in, commenting ”Other tribes don’t like us, I wonder why?”

Ignoring him, Saasraa continues, ”Then one day a great golden dragon appeared before us. She saw in us the potential to be more than we were and sought to lead us to greatness.”

”Or she took pity on us. Or she was bored.” that comment earned a glare from Saasraa.

”We were chosen.” she insists. ”She grew to love us as her own as we loved her as our goddess! She stayed with us for generations and even upon leaving us she chose many of us to be her priests and continue to guide us!” She gets more animated as she speaks, making grandiose gestures and falling back into her preachy speech pattern from back on the boat.

Kip makes a conciliatory gesture. ”Sure. Whatever you say. We’re getting off topic though, you were explaining why we left remember?”

”Right.” She has to think a minute to remember what she was talking about. ”Anyways, so we grew and we prospered for hundreds of years. Then several months ago everything fell apart. The first warnings were wild animal attacks. Creatures fleeing in panic into our caves, many maddened by some strange disease..”

”You don’t usually get stampedes underground.” Kip adds wryly.

”The scouts we sent above the surface didn’t return. No one was sure what to do. Then a strange red grass started sweeping down the caves, somehow growing into the very stone. Any who touched it or were bitten by the animals became infected with the same disease and became dangerous, lashing out at anyone uninfected and spreading it further. It was utter chaos.”

For once Kip doesn’t have a sarcastic aside. ”It was horrible. Friends, family, even pets, all dead or driven mad. A red tide that blocked all the exits.”

Both stop speaking for several moments, overcome by the memories. Saasraa continues.

”I sent all of the power granted to me by the goddess at the grass, but nothing worked. I became infected myself and lost all track of time.”

Kip picks up the story. ”Now I ain’t all that religious, but I owned a boat I fished the underground rivers in and when the preisthood failed people turned the docks for refuge. Fishing’s never been a big pastime of our people so all of our tiny fishing boats were swamped with survivors and a couple of them drag along the High Priestess here all tied up and ranting and raving about who knows what. I take her in and we buckle down praying for something to come along and save us before the animals or the grass finished the job.”

”At some point in my delirium I was granted a vision by our Goddess. A great city on the water. A battle against a bloodred god. A figure stood out, one with bronze wings that became a dragon as he fought. A voice spoke: Find the Bronze One. He will save you.”

Kip looks uncomfortable. ”I don’t know about that. All I knew is that we were all going to die there unless we did something. I was already thinking about heading downriver and hoping the grass wasn’t waiting for us above ground. When her minders told me she had started screaming about salvation waiting for us downriver It convinced enough of the others to help me cannibalize everything wooden we had to make that monster we sailed in on.”

He shakes his head sadly. ”Even with all the wood on the docks, including taking apart the docks, the ship only fit about half of us. Some volunteered to stay. Others were too ill or injured. Many panicked and fought to get aboard when we left. Those we didn’t cut down with our own hands were left to die.”

May the Golden one shelter their souls.” Saasraa says quietly, head bowed.

More died on the trip. With so many we could barely feed ourselves. We had everyone who knew how to fish dangling lines day and night, but there was over a hundred of us. At least a dozen starved. Once we got back above ground my other fear proved true. The grass surrounded the river on both sides. Maddened animals attacked the boat. The only meat available was infected. Already starving, we were desperate enough to eat it. It seemed hopeless.”

Saasraa picks up the tale again. ”I was to lost in the disease to know all this was happening of course. The next thing I knew I woke up and felt fine. I ached in every bone and I was incredibly weak, but the pain and the madness had fled. The disease was gone. I looked to my side and saw others, scared and weak, but also cured. It was a miracle. The Golden One had granted us deliverance.”

Kip snorts, but looks thoughtful. ”Well something did. The red grass was gone. The animals stopped attacking. Few of us were strong enough to do much. I gathered those that were and we nursed the rest back to health as best we could. Our boat had run aground while we were all delirious, but we managed to repair it. We had no idea where we were or how to get back home, if there was even a home left to go back to.”

”Kip’s efforts were invaluable.” Saasraa says, smiling at him. ”Were it not for him we would have died even though we were healed of the disease. I shared my vision with the others and we continued downstream trusting to our goddess to have guided us correctly. And thus we came here. We are bereft of everything Zane Stormfront. We place ourselves at your mercy. Are you the deliverance my vision showed me? Will you take us in, the lost children of the Golden One?”

Zane listens to the story and the side story from both Saasraa and Kip.
He leans back a little and considers options....
Kicking them to the curb is out, what kind of hero would he be if he did that. Domi would be severely disappointed in him to boot. Heck his old instructors at the monastery would travel to Hook City just beat him around the ears for behavior like that. They obviously are in desperate need or they'd still be back in their cavern subsisting and living the life they had.
He takes a semi-deep breath and then starts to speak.
"I will of course render what aid I can, I'm fairly sure the other Iron Dragons will as well. After surviving all of that what else could I do but the help. This magical castle will last for a few hours to start.
It also sounds like you'd prefer to be underground for a home, I also have an idea about that, but I"ll need to speak with the rest of the Iron Dragons about that Idea. I'll also see that your ship will repaired and safe and moored as well where you can get to it.
Why don't you all get settled in here for the rest of the day, enjoy the food provided. It'll help bolster the tribe with health, at least for today."

Over the rings, Remember when we designed the Tower, I insisted in the underground Stables as well as the warehouse storage for whatever else we needed. We can easily convert the stable area to a "Den" or whatever they want. We just supply some lumber or whatever they need and they can move in. We can then find them permanent place or maybe some of them can work the group, we do need a full time crew keeping the tower looking proper for visitors coming to see the Iron Dragons. Heck, Kip might even prove useful running Starblazer helping out around the City an for any errands we might need. Starblazer might be smart, but not like Dock, he still needs directions to get anywhere.
Zane has a few other ideas, but too much at once will overwhelm people....

Restlin wondered briefly what Zane would do with a small number of kobold worshipers. He wasn't worried; Zane had a good head on his shoulder.

DM Mitch 
Monday September 3rd, 2018 11:47:16 AM
Tink is relieved to hear the Kobolds are zealots not evil and waits to see what Zane does.

Zane considers what Kip and Saasraa have to say before telling the assembled Kobolds they can stay in the magical mansion temporarily but he needs to consult with the other dragons as to a more permanent solution. He then talks to the other Dragons over the rings about converting parts of their underground area into a den or something for the Kobolds.

Wyaar is glad their reputation has spread far and wide and then chimes in over the rings that if the Kobolds are trustworthy he is not opposed to that.

Sesha is pleased with the outcome and tells Zane he is making the right choice over the rings.

Bosk reminds Zane of their servant quarters as well and says they could use more staff.

Garett performs a headcount. In total there are 162 Kobolds eating - 164 total adding in Saasraa and Kip.

Restlin wonders what Zane is going to do with a pack of worshipers.

Saasraa and Kip see that the Dragons want a private consultation and excuse themselves to go eat. They’re probably every bit as hungry as the rest, they just had to take care of business first.

As the kobolds leave to give the Dragon's Privacy....
"I see no reason that we shouldn't help them out. Wyaar indicated they did not reveal as Evil, which would be a reason.
Then there's the claim of Prophesy of the Bronze One. That's the part that bother's me the most, but again, they are not Evil, so I guess I will just need to survive it.
With the rooms in our basement, anyone have a problem with them being moved in?"
Zane makes a mental note to pack a half-barrel of something strong in his haversack, just for times like these.....

Tink gives it a bit of consideration. Provided the kobolds supported themselves and weren't a burden on the ID or locals, she doesn't see why they cannot stay.

"But the blind worship might have to be addressed. I don't want to come home to see any sacrifices, or worse, statues in the living room of Zane"

That last part was said with obvious jest.

Sesha does some basic math on the amount of supplies they will need to start keeping on hand, then stops and ponders what exactly kobolds prefer to eat.

"Is there .. uh.. a copy of your monthly spending or something? We are going to have to figure out how much food to keep on hand and what kinds of food to boot."

She casts a glance at Garret. There was a fair chance that his stomach wouldn't be picky about the difference between Garret snacks and Kobold snacks.

Garret explains to the others exactly how many kobolds he counted. He says, "The only way that many are going to fit in the stable is if we stack them on their sides six tall. I don't know, are we able to expand down there? Can kobolds dig their own tunnels? And no, I'm not telling Auslander because I don't want to fill out all the tunnel creation forms for him...."

"Garret, I don't think you've been down to the stable level since it was modeled.
It's was designed to store 6 wagons and carriages, as well as teams of horses. Teams meaning SIX. And to have room to manage them and the loads they'd be hauling. The Servants quarters are the first level down. The warehousing level is the second and the Stable/ forge is third and is just about is the size of the entire Square where our tower located.
I'm sure there is more than enough room, since none of us have animals of our own to care for. I think we'll be ok. Plus, they're really really small."

Beri scratches his head as the others try to figure out where the Kobolds could fit.
Am I remembering wrong, or isn't it a fairly trivial matter for us make any needed adjustments to our home? One of the perks of being in the Dragon Consortium. We took Joe's advice and worked the clay into a mechanism that would allow us to make future alterations, so extending the lower level shouldn't be an issue.

...Bosk, in the excitement of designing our opulent castle you didn't happen to forget to show the others where you added that cleverly hidden feature, did you?

Tuesday September 4th, 2018 11:24:44 PM
(OOC: Mitch had to take precautions because of a hurricane so this is the soonest i could crank out a dm post; we might have to change our schedule for the week)

Zane opines over the rings that he sees no reason to deny the Kobolds request. He points out they aren’t evil but that he is bothered by the whole “prophecy of the bronze one bit.” He asks the others about keeping them in the basement. Lastly he decides to pick up a barrel of something strong to have on hand should similar situations arise in the future.

Beri agrees with Zane pointing out they had people sneak in through the basement in the past so having extra eyes shouldn’t hurt.

Wyaar is curious to see how the city will react to the new citizens and what paperwork may be involved.

Restlin points out that Auslander is probably not going to be happy but he doesn’t think the request to let the kobolds stay will be outright denied. It should be interesting to watch at least

Sesha tries to figure out what type of foodstuffs and what quantities they’ll need to keep on hand to feed the kobolds. She also wonders if Garret will enjoy kobold food.

Garret explains to the others how many kobolds he counted and raises concerns about their stables not having enough room.

Zane points out they gained space when they adjusted their tower upon becoming dragons.

Beri brings up the fact they have the ability to further adjust the tower as needed.

Wyaar is leery about adjusting the tower and insists you’ll find the space.

The kobolds are eager to bed down for the night for some much needed rest in a fairly safe place so the dragons can exit the mansion and talk with Auslander.

When the dragons finally meet up with Auslander outside the interdimensional mansion portal you see some work crews pulling the kobolds “vessel” out to the harbor and a mage lowering the stone wall back into the sea. Auslander calls out, “I say what is all this then?!?”

“Unlicensed use of stone walls to create a boat dock and a ship docked in a zone not designated for docking. The stone will have to be moved back into position and the ship scuttled as it isn’t worth the work it would take to salvage it. Plus what do I hear about an army of kobolds disappearing with you the Iron Dragons into the thin air? I’m not quite sure what the Hook City charter has to say about creation of a standing army of ignoble creatures but then again you are members of the dragon consortium and thusly knights at large so you are probably entitled to special dispensation. I might have to talk to the city magistrate to sort this one out or perhaps the high court but that could take a long time. Unless of course a Justiciar like Katinka might be able to help me sort this out in some sort of way that makes sense under existing interpretation of the law. I do have one question though, and it is oi mates you got a license for them disappearing kobolds?”

"Everything done so far Inspector was done as an emergency. If the stone hadn't been created, the so called boat would have sunk. there by killing all of the Kobolds and that would have polluted the river. We just prevented another disaster. Ushering them into the Magical Mansion was a way to prevent a disturbance and cause a commotion which would surely lead to civil disobedience, thus we prevented yet another problem for the City while clean up is still going on.
By the way, how is our new friend, Dock doing in assisting the City in recovering?
Now, as to the kobolds, they are refugees from the same Problems that Hook City just endured. They may be small but they are not like other Dragon-kin of their type, they worship a Gold Dragon and have some sort of Hero Worship about The Bronze One. Unfortunately for me, they assume that means Myself.
We plan on moving them into the Iron Dragon Tower, and trying to put them to work for us. So I expect we will need to get them registered as new citizens of Hook City.
You don't have a Scribe with you so we can fill out around 170 registration forms do you? It'd be good to get started sooner than later on all of that paper work.
Oh, and don't scuttle that boat, I'll see about getting it fixed, sentimental reasons for one of the Kobolds, I assure you. I'll cover the mooring fees of course."

Zane quips over the rings..... "was that too much blather or just about the right amount for the Inspector?"

A thought occurs to Restlin when Garret asks his question. He's always surprised by the little dude's insights.

Beri is surprised at the request for a license, but they have just about every license there is now.

Well met Auslander. It just so happens that these kobolds have asked to serve a member of the Iron Dragons, and we absolutely have our paperwork in order as a registered organization, as an official adventuring group, and as permanent residents of this city. We also have secondary, transferable documentation allowing passage into the city from before we became residents.

Oh, we also are officially recognized as the representatives for those living outside the city walls who are needed to come in and work within the city since the Chit machine got sick, a need that's grown exponentially since the last attack.

Beri talk over the ring
That's just the relevant paperwork... man, you forget just how often you are asked to get these things until you start listing them out.

A funny story about the problem of disappearing kobolds (DM Hugh) 
Wednesday September 5th, 2018 10:48:25 PM

Bosk tells the others he will be there soon over the rings.

Zane explains the urgency of the situation with the Kobolds, asks for their boat to be preserved and for a scribe to be sent for so they can start processing paperwork.

Restlin also points out the fact the kobolds were in danger and their oath demanded they act.

Garret asks if a form for licensing disappearing kobolds really exists.

Restlin speculates about a Teucri artifact that produces any type of form that may be needed for whatever situation may come up.

Sesha opines that she’s fine with another artificat as long as she doesn’t have to merge minds and kill it too.

Beri produces just about every relevant document they have to the situation at hand explaining how each one fits in with what just happened.

Wyaar wonders how many acolytes spend their days healing papercuts for the bureaucrats.

When you’ve all had your say Auslander laughs and says, “A teucri artifact that could print any legal document one could ever want? Do tell us if you come across something like that in your travels it would be extremely useful.” Auslander then sorts through Beri’s presented paperwork hemming, hawing and nodding to himself before he finally answers Garret’s question,” Well it’s a funny and old story you see back in the day post one of the ascensions Hook City, the city of magic had a number of magic acts involving disappearing kobolds. Apparently making the little buggers disappear was all the rage among some circles, but I digress. We also started having burglaries where witnesses described seeing disappearing kobolds fleeing crime scenes with other people’s personally property before vanishing into thin air. One needed not be a grand magus to see a potential correlation between the kobold vanishing magic acts and the increase in crime so the city council came together and passed ordnance 13458 dash b stroke c on the licensing of kobolds which have the capabilities to disappear. As I said an old law but a law nonetheless, then again is the vanishing an artifact of one of your spells or some innate power all their own, it seems like the law was a little vague when it came to kobolds that couldn’t vanish under their own power. Seeing as you have all these other documents detailing your status and the fact that these kobolds would appear to become ancillary members of your own organization it would appear that these kobolds would be accepted under sub paragraph g clause d of amendment x passed by the honorable Fenwick Copplebottom regarding non magic using liveried kobold servants of high level wizards. The only exclusion would be if any of said kobolds is able to make itself disappear or invoke any other troubling high level magicks then it would need its own license just on the off chance we have any burglaries involving a disappearing kobold or some such nonsense. Does that seem fair? Oh by the way that Dock creature is it is working out fine in assisting in the rebuilding efforts.”

You can check up on them if you want to right now. I'll even introduce you to Saasraa their Leader and Kip the one who managed to keep that wreck afloat."

That sounds like a pretty clever scheme... up until the point where they were foolish enough to try it in this city. Vanishing or not, I'm sure the city guards had their entire operation behind bars before dinner.

Zane wonders if Auslander was joking about the disappearing kobold thing before explaining the kobolds didn’t disappear, that they are in the magical mansion until they can be transferred to the tower tomorrow and Auslander can even visit the kobolds right now if he wants.

Garret falls asleep listening to the inspector.

Beri remarks that the disappearing kobold scheme was clever until they tried to do it in Hook City. He assures Auslander that they’ll make sure if any of the Kobolds are of the disappearing variety they will be properly registered.

Tink says she’ll look them over to check for any unusual abilities.

Auslander says, “I’ll stop by the tower tomorrow to see how the kobolds are settling in and meet their elders. Since everything seems to be in order I will see you tomorrow.” He then takes his leave.

The kobolds finish eating and start looking for a place to sleep. It’s been a tough journey and they’re all tired.

Sesha is happy to mingle at the WLA. She always liked having a bit of reputation here, among peers. It was far more enjoyable than adulation from peasants and commoners whose life she simply could not understand anymore.

It wasn't that she held disdain for the average person, she just had a hard time relating anymore. Once you've slain liches, owned a keep, and ridden dragons, the drama and difficulties of working forty hours for a few silvers seemed foreign.

Here though, everyone understood the risk and rewards of adventure. And everyone here possessed exceptional talents. Even a first rank adventurer, should, by all right be more powerful than a score of common people. To be admired among such company tickled her pride.

Zane asks if Dock has the power to craft ships out of the pieces of an older ship and specifies he doesn’t want a flying ship. He also asks if the construct is being taxed too much.

Restlin tells Sesha he is to train in dance and asks her to do so with him.

Beri informs the kobolds of their conversation with the Inspector and that any disappearing kobolds will have to fill out additional paperwork.

Tink asks the Kobolds if they know how to do anything that might help the people of Hook city.

Dock informs Zane through a series of chirps that it can potentially do as Zane requests but the construct is no shipwright so it might not turn out exactly right. It also informs him it could easily move parts and tools for an actual shipwright if that might make more sense.

Auslander gives Garret a slip of paper and says, “Don’t think anyone would bother you for sleeping on the docks considering who you are, but it is nice of you to ask for the permit to do so.”

The day ends with the dragons going about their various businesses and then returning to their tower. The next morning they are visited by Auslander who is most impressed with the newly constructed digs for the Kobolds.

It isn’t long after Auslander leaves that Agatha knocks on the door Sprocket in toe, “I have made a breakthrough!” she exclaims...

Bosk greets Agatha at the door and invites her to breakfast.

Agatha says, “I think I have established a portal to the place where the books came from, the problem is I don’t know if it is stable enough to return here once the journey has been made.”

“Based on the readings Sprocket and I are getting from our instruments the other side of portal gives off readings like nowhere in the Wold.”

“The good news is we at least know it is similar to the Wold in that it is relatively temperature in both clime and breathable air and it doesn’t appear the place the portal leads to does something like constantly fill you with any elemental, positive or negative energy. If the books came from the same place that that construct/undead hybrid came from then it may be worth it to travel there even if the way back isn’t guaranteed. We could always figure that out later after we’ve secured the needed aid.”

"The portal you have established... is it two way? Could something unwanted travel through to our side?" Tink is a little wary about Agatha and Sprocket inadvertently opening a gate to let the next apocalypse through.

Garret stares at the permit for sleeping on the docks...and then wonders if it might be worth something. He shrugs and tucks it away in his belt pouch for later.

The next day when Agatha mentions the gate, Garret turns to Restlin and waits for the magic guy to give his input. Garret doesn't know much about magical gates.

Few things terrify Restlin more than Agatha making a breakthrough, but they have a job to do.

So, a whole new world. One with sentient constructs...that sounds pretty neat, but would his magic even work there? Would *any* magic work there? What if these were based on mechanical engineering rather than arcane? So many unknowns, but it was their best lead.

So many questions. Unstable portals were never ok, so far as he was concerned. There were nearly infinite possible locations a portal could shunt you, especially when dealing with inter-dimensional travel. He decides to start there.

"What do you mean, unstable? Does it not stay open reliably? Does the egress point move around?"

The discussion with Agatha almost immediately shifted into high magic, which was above Zane's lofty head. So he'd let the group of high magic users argue the points.
He still needs to figure out what the Kobold Tribe was going to do for the Iron Dragons and what he should suggest to them to help them earn their way.
"Oh yeah, I still need to ask if Dock is willing to go with us to this other dimension to be our anchor so we can get back here.Unless you've found another way for us to get back." Zane adds.

"Much of my magic comes from Woldsblood. Would a place that's NOT the Wold even have such a magic source?"

Still, if it had to be done it had to be done. She could find other ways to contribute.

Beri scratches his head and thinks over the findings.
Well, given our choices I'm inclined to agree that the portal is the best option. We have to get to that construct, and as of right now this is the only option we have. At least we know it's safe to breathe.

You said that the other side of portal gives off readings like nowhere in the Wold. Can you tell us what specifically is different in your readings? Are you saying that we may not be going to another version of the World like the other portals took us to, but to another realm entirely? If so, anything yo can tell us about how magic may be affected would help, especially if you can tell us what types of magic may be affected.

Oh, and nothing indicating magic threads will be following us right?

Bosk starts mentally going through his spell list. "I suppose we better stock up on scrolls that could possibly take us back home from anywhere."

DM Mitch 
Tuesday September 11th, 2018 7:22:08 AM
Tink worries about the gate being two way.

Garret waits for Restlin’s input.

Restlin asks for more details about how unstable it is and what that means.

Zane wonders what the Kobolds can do to help and remembers he needed to talk to Dock.

Wyarr smiles and nods along.

Sesha is concerned about if her magic would work in another world.

Beri thinks that the portal is probably their best option.

Bosk suggests they stock up on scrolls that might be able to get them home.

Agatha tries to allay Tink and Restlin’s concerns. “The portal is currently closed, so nothing can come through it but when we open it again we don’t think things can come through it. As far as the portal being unstable, it won’t stay reliably open long. We can probably keep it open enough to get to the other side but after that we have to find another way back.”

When Zane brings up Dock Agatha says, “It would be best if you could bring him, we think we could possibly use him to establish a second portal back from the other side.”

Agatha says to Sesha, “Half my magic comes from Woldsblood and I have difficulty with certain schools because I am a seer so I am leery about going too. However maybe we can find something on the other side to replace some of our magic with.”

Agatha says to Beri, “Where we are going is not the lost elven city, there will be no sentient magical threads. I’m not sure if there is magic as we know it in this new world, honestly. When I said this place gives off odd readings I mean it doesn’t give off any school of magic, nor traces of arcane, divine or Woldsblood. The Wold is a very magical place so even places that are fairly mundane have a certain amount of background magic, but this new place emits nothing.”

Restlin looks at his friends. Those poor sods didn't worship Wardd like he did. They'd no doubt sit there wondering if this was a good idea. They'd weigh pros and cons. They'd think hard.

Restlin thinks it sounds like an absolute blast; he would not miss it for the wold.

The druid frowns as Agatha relays her findings. The new land might be safe, but it is far from ideal for him.
No magic, that puts me in a bit of a bind. Add to that the strong likelihood of no transformation and no summons, and it's not a scenario I'm particularly fond of. I agree with Wyarr that we need to actually do a good job of preparing for once, just in case the inhabitants aren't the most friendly.

"I may not be the most trained in magic and all... but if we are planning on going where there is no magic, wouldn't that make any casters not able to cast? And don't forget you want us to take Dock with us, if he's willing to go. And since he's basically pure magic, wouldn't it kill him?"

DM Mitch 
Wednesday September 12th, 2018 6:10:32 AM
Garret ponders a Wold without magic only to be reminded of the battle where he lost half his magic stuff.

Restlin thinks the portal idea sounds like a blast and asks how do they start.

Wyaar asks if they’ll have no magic themselves in the world that has no magic and points out that arrows should still fly at least. He suggests they start preparing.

Beri frowns when hearing about Agatha’s report. He wonders if the lack of magic translates into no summoning or wildshaping and agrees with Wyaar that they need to be prepared.

Zane asks if the casters won’t be able to cast and if Dock is made out of full magic wouldn’t that mean that taking him along would be a death sentence.

Agatha says, “Well one of two things will happen when we go through the portal either we lose magic entirely or we are the only beings in that world with magic. We think that since we can establish the portal which is itself magic that it isn’t that the world we are venturing into is a giant antimagic field or anything it just doesn’t have much naturally occuring magic. They say in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king well if everyone on the other side is “blind” to magic then we become one eyed men and kings. Presumably we should be able to carry our some magic items with us that the residents of the destination could not possibly have nor be able to counter. I suppose as an experiment we could try to make a pact with an outsider and have it verify that it can actually travel to the other side of the portal and back without being banished to is own plane. If the outsider can enter the portal and remain on the other side for any period of time that would imply that the world on the other side of the portal isn’t outright anti-magical.”

She then says,”As to how we should begin, you should all gather at our lab with whatever you want to bring with you as well as any of the books you borrowed. Sprocket and I will calibrate the portal machine and once we have the portal as stable as we can make it we can decide if we just want to take the plunge or bargain with an outsider to test theories concerning this new world. Does that sound like a plan?”

"We could also cast a number of divination spells to help us prepare. Our enemy knew about the portable hole trick despite us only using it once, and in jericho space with no witnesses no less. If they can do it to us we should look to respond in kind. Find out their numbers, strengths, usual tactics, weaknesses, and so on. Not to mention other things we might encounter along the way"

"I wouldn't even know what questions to ask Serenbeth before we go. We don't even know if someone angry is waiting on us for once. We are going into a fairly neutral place, as far as we know, to extract a creature of a specific makeup and then bring it with us. Willingly, too."

She takes a breath.

"Do expect most of my magic to fail, and plan around it. I'll make sure everyone has at least one potion of Heal and I'll spend most of my magical capital that day on long term enhancements that hopefully, don't unravel once we arrive."

Garret is ready when Restlin says he is ready. He looks down at his fists when mention of an "outsider" is made. He knew that he was actually close to being an outsider himself. He wondered if others knew that about him and what they would think of that...then he wonders if they have meat on a stick in the other realm...

He motions to Garret to come with. "Come help me pack, dude. I need some blind luck." When they get back to Restlin's room, he asks Garret to close his eyes before lying most of his magical goodies on the bed. "Ok dude, keep your eyes close and pick 5."

He covers his eyes with one hand and reaches out with the other one (the one with a bit of meat grease on it), touching a few items.

Thursday September 13th, 2018 7:07:39 AM

Tink suggests using a number of divination spells to see what might be coming round the bend. (OOC: What spells do you want to cast?)

Sesha says that she wouldn’t know what to ask Serenbeth. She points out they are planning to go to a neutral place so they don’t know if anything is waiting for them on the other side. She says she can plan for most of her magic to not do much good and make sure to have some potions for the team.

Garret is ready to go as soon as Restlin is. He thinks about how he is close to becoming an outsider and wonders if other dimensions have meat on a stick.

Restlin checks out when the others mention divination and asks Garret to help him pack.

Garret goes with Restlin to help him pick his allowed items for the luck quest, though disappointed in the lack of food he reaches out with a greasy palm and selects items for Restlin.

Beri shakes Agatha’s hand and thanks her for her work before returning to help get the kobold settled in.

Zane goes to ask Dock if it would like to join them fully explaining everything the dragons know and the danger’s that Dock might face.

Bosk starts making a list of things they might need

Dock chimes to Zane in a way that seems to indicate consent but it also seems to have some concern for its bulky form especially if it is supposed to take part in some sort of ritual. It says something about Restlin maybe being able to give it a temporary bipedal form.

Agatha says to Beri, “Well to give us the best chance of success don’t forget to bring all the books you borrowed and Dock.” She then leaves with Sprocket in tow, presumably to make last minute preparations of her own.

Restlin looks on as Garret decides his fate, picking the following:

Metamagic rod, quicken
Metamagic rod, maximize
Amulet of natural armor +5
Ring of evasion
and lastly his detectivin' cap.

"Good choices, dude. Very good."

He gathers the items Garret chose, leaving most of the rest behind. He grabs his spellbook, his ring of protection (his arcane bond), and Shiny (legacy item - does not count against luck quest items per Cayzle's description).

He places a scroll of greater teleport and the heal potion Sesha made him months (if not years) ago on a table in his room.

OOC: One of the down-time preparations was casting contingency to teleport myself back to my room if my HP drop below 20.

Lastly, he grabs the ring he got back from Sesha and tracks her down.

"Here, love," he begins as he slides the ring on her finger. "I've been working on this since we got back. Just in case you need it."

OOC: The ring is a good luck charm containing 10 luck points. Up to 5 can be used to provide a bonus on any roll "as if they were a mendicant too," which means *any* roll.

They go retrieve the wreck and at the shipyard, give instructions for it's reconstruction. Can't call it repairs due to the damage, or it's initial construction. Zane wants it rebuilt as a 4-5 man fishing boat for small sized sailors.

Zane asks Dock to help him get the Kobolds wreck to the ship yard so they can leave instructions for its reconstruction before calling Restlin to hopefully help dock.

"Humanoid, you say? Sure...should be simple enough. What were you thinking? Do you want to pass for a human, or were you thinking of looking like one of those giant ninja mechy things?

Restlin will cast polymorph any object on Dock to his specifications. The duration will depend largely on how radical a change it's wanting.

When it's time to go, Restlin carefully cuts his original detectivin' knit cap out of the fancy top hat shell it's currently stitched into. He hangs up his magical suit and pulls out the simple adventuring gear he wore back when he first joined the Iron Adventurers.

They were about to tangle with three gods, at least one of who would want them dead, and the other was Marteus, a sketchy situation on the best of days. Restlin was going to make darn sure they had another god on their side in all this...

Monday September 17th, 2018 1:08:18 AM
Bosk finishes making his purchases in the Catacombs when a familiar voice calls out behind him. Heading out already?

Turning around Bosk notices Sanj, one of his first friends in Mudtown and former Iron Adventurer. Last he had seen the young rogue she was working with Hemust and Jillian, former (repentant) Noodle gang members, who ran the groups old shop and now work at Five Mile House. Things are going well for us, and we want to make sure the peace is maintained in both Hook City and Three Mile while you are gone. We figure no one will mess with us if we have your backing, and we can help keep an eye on things for you and pass along any information we here. I've gathered together a network of those loyal to you... her hand drifts to her dagger as she adds, just remember, we are your crew, not some lackeys or gaga fan club. Let it go to your head and I will pluck that idea right out.

Bosk smiles as he looks the group over. Sanji did a good job in finding those he could trust. Behind her are to Brodery Family the Iron Adventurer's sponsored to Hook City after their daughter was killed by assasins. They run “Brodery Apothecary” in Iron Tower Square. Jimbim, now the eldest is, an expert herbalist and supplier of Bosk's poisons. Clarissa, the eldest sister an expert alchemist. Katherine and Billy Boy (Youngsters), and the ever moody Gat. This was formerly Heather Brorderys' family (she was a cleric of The Edge before she died, the first spirit Bosk advanced as an Avenger, one of her eyes was removed and is now the eye in the center of Bosk's forehead).

To their left stands Temujin, a doppleganger with memory loss (now restored) that had an ilithad larva put in his brain that he himself cut out causing the brain damage. He (unknowingly) took on the persona of a druid he was in contact with and helped hut down the illithid occultists responsible for killing previously mentioned druid... and next to him stands a young un-named witch the IA saved from the Manfri and their own tribe in the Sargrass after it was discovered she was a witch. She now trains under Magister Alistair with former party member Maikill. Next to her stand Toby and Rachel, young kids in Hook City that snuck among the group and cut off some of Zeoll's fur to create a fishing lure in order to attempt catching a giant goldfish.

On the other side of the group is Barnacle Jane, a tall and beautiful woman with flowing red hair and captain of Calypso's Cry, known for the unusually high number of women sailors it employed...well not so much the number of women as the captain's willingness and ability to take in young women with little or no skill and make them some of the finest sailors on Rum. Beside her stands Ceri, a large golden haired taur with ivory white horns. Quite large, at over eight feet (including the horns), Ceri is an impressive figure. Two bastard swords long as a man cross her back, the hilts carved into sets of silver minotaur horns and you have little doubt that the Captain is more than capable of dual wielding the massive blades. (Former Captain of the WLA in Run that I believe was later replaced.Both these are NPCs I created for that game.)

Interspaced between them are several others BOsk has next on his many journies. The first is young half-elf appearing to be no more than thirteen, only her eyes reveal the many years she has wandered the Wold with no more than her crossbow to protect her Alley Cat (The Wild Side Tap),. The other is a gnomish witch, his uniform clearly marking him as a student at Maplehurst Academy. His stained hands easily identify him as an alchemist in trainingRoonwinkle (Maplehurst Academy Tap. Next he spots a shirtless dwarf whose gray beard is singed Boomy (Retired from The Forged). Richard Goodspeed of Wardd's Temple (former runner of the Woldian Lotto). Towards the back he can just make out a well dressed halfling with light brown hair and light skin steps out. His face is scarred on the right side, as are both of his hands. Napalm (Hellmarr Tap).

Stryder - Bandits of Burning Sands, and Tim Slayer of Caerbannog and JaxCascade Porter-(The Missing Crown). Gersemi of Clan Turen - (Twelve Hours Till Dawn), Zbasx Deathwearer - (Goblins! Tap), Midnight Aphrodisiac - (Danger Quest), and Nulliira.

(I planned to purchase one last night, but my post introducing my followers took too long. Just let me know what I owe the group.)

The druid shakes his head in agreement.
I'm not a good choice either, I don't even have hands half the time when I'm fighting. Even if I did, I'm afraid I'm not much of a melee fighter. I tend to call upon the creatures of the Wold to aid me when it comes to the up close stuff, while I use my magic from a distance.

Restlin asks Dock what it had in mind. Dock chimes something about worrying that if it isn’t in a construct form wouldn’t it negatively affect the ritual? It also says something about worrying the giant construct things from the other dimension are too big and asks if it could be made some sort of medium humanoid-shaped construct so as better to travel with the party.
The mage-priest then changes into his detective cap and simple adventuring outfit.

Garret has to make a pit stop before they go.

Beri says he has the books and gear and asks if they should casts spells before stepping through the portal.

Wyaar cautions against using an elemental swarm if they are going to a low magic world.

Tink nods not sure what to expect.

Sesha thinks about how used she got to the Iron Dragons being a tumbling, cursing ball of magical destructions and how not resorting to these things would be difficult.

Zane shows up with a mace and asks who wants to hold it. Garret wonders if they got a weapon no one can use, but Bosk claims it.

Tink thinks martial training might be useful in a place with different magic but it might be too late to learn how to use it.

Bosk finds himself approached by a group of old allies seeking his blessing to guard the city in the Dragon’s name while they’re gone.

Garret asks if a weapon was purchased that no one can use and then suggests giving it to Bosk.

Zane talks about how his fists are more appropriate than the mace and how he fights as a dragon more often than not.

Sesha thinks that Bosk having it is appropriate.

Beri opines he’s not a manufactured weapon melee fighter.

Wyaar points out how he’s an archer.

The party heads to Agatha’s lab. Her and Sprocket are fiddling with the machine When she sees the books that Beri is carrying, she runs over and grabs the books adding them to a pile under glass near the contraption.

“Give it more juice.” she says to Sprocket. The addition of the books and addition magic energy causes a beige portal to grow in the center of the room.

Agatha has one of her backpack hookshot portal things on and is holding out a second one to the group. She says, “We better get going before the portal destabilizes, this is the strongest we managed to make it.”

Zane Strings both bows over his shoulder, side by side, and tuicks a couple metamagic rods into his belt. He pulls out a few feet of rope and wraps and then ties up a bundle of arrows.
"Well, I guess I'm ready. What, didn't you say there was no magic? I want to be sure I have access to my bows at least, and the rods, well, maybe they'll be able to focus a little magic if there is any." As he gets looks...
He loops the arrow bundle with the bows and then ducks through the opening, looking for Katinka.

Tuesday September 18th, 2018 11:02:53 PM
The party steps through the portal with medium speaking golem-Dock and Agatha wearing her own hookshot backpack.

Beri strapped on a backpack himself and Sesha casts some buffs before doing so.

The Wold shifts, the portal disappears and you find yourself in a lushly appointed cabin adorned with glowing light orbs, some sort of spinning fan on the ceiling, vents dispensing cold air, several bookshelves and an impressive desk with a lush chair with a man sitting on it pressing buttons on some sort of device.

He slowly looks up from his device to see you standing there and does a double take before saying, "“I have to hand it to you, that is the best entrance I’ve ever seen. So how’d you do your trick? Also neat Iron Dragons costumes and that is high praise coming from me considering I invented the characters. Well except for the golem and the star mage but when you have a large group of friends not everyone can cosplay as the heroes. I take it you all want an autograph?” he asks.

"Ok. This may be the second weirdest place we've ever been to" Tink responds over the link "Check out the books. Looks like he may have been chronicling our adventures. Might be a bard of some kind. Loremaster perhaps?"

"Uh, sure. I mean, yes please" Tink retrieves some parchment from her kit and hands it out to the man, playing along to his delusions. Invented us? The troubled soul. He reminds her of the poor crazy people one often sees on the streets. This guy must be quite unwell.

Tink looks over the man - and room - for magical auras. Fearing the worst, she also looks about the party to see if their spells are still in effect. She looks about the room for weapons, and if need be, somewhere to hide. That spinning fan may be a trap. Spinning bladed thing are often bad.

Perception is autopass. Restlin decides to try something.

"Yes sir! Name's Sam Winchester. It's great to meet you! Couldn't afford Restlin's fancy outfit, so I went with young Restlin. How'd I do?" He does a little twirl to show off his outfit.

He grabs his pack and starts digging through it, looking up in mock horror (bluff 29). "Oh my glob. I forgot my copy of (insert observed book title here)." He fakes a small panic attack, grabbing Sesha's shoulders. "I told you not to let me forget it! What am I going to get him to sign now?" He takes a knee and starts hyperventilating.

The thought of being created by anything but a god was not a pleasant one. And this individual fit the description of no god she knew of.

When Restlin starts shaking her, her first instinct is to administer a backhand. Consort or not, it was NOT okay. Then she catches his ruse.

"That's your problem, Mage-Priest. And stop trying to make me break character."

With a huff, she adds.

"Have him sign your Tome of Intellects cover or something."

Beri thinks back to when Bosk talked of such a game and starts to piece together what might be happening. Is it possible that this universe and created the Wold, while Bosk in kind created this universe? Or did this author write himself into the Wold the way one would expect any Marvel-ous creator to have a role in the world they created? In any case, if this man created the Wold then his autograph could well be a thing of Power when the return to the magic of the Wold he created. The druid finds himself addressing the man in a manner similar to how he's addressed many of the Powers of the Wold that's he's been privileged enough to meet... barring the time Gargul smacked him around.

To ask the divine creator to autograph a dusty tome makes sense for one who's days are spent indoors among books, but alas I am an adventurer and am seldom in granted such reprieve. If I have found favor in you that such words of divine power should to be gifted to me, I humbly ask that they be inscribed upon my cloak of resistance so that as I venture across the Wold all will know that the great Chuck Vonnegut has got my back.

Bosk tries to speak into his ring, but no one hears him. Not that he can tell.

Tink thinks the man mad and plays along.

Restlin sees the book and really, really plays along.

Zane wonders why they would need autographs and looks at his ring and bow.

Sesha briefly considers slapping Restlin before catching on.

Garret pulls out some food and sits down to watch.

Wyarr tries some magic, which doesn’t work, and asks if the man can sign Garret’s face.

Beri asks for his cloak to be signed.

Bosk asks for his sword to be signed.

To Zane he says, "I take it you're not a fan; well you can't please everybody. Let me guess they roped you in to dressing up as Zane due to your size"

Chuck takes one of his books off the shelf and says to (Sense Motive: 24) "Sam", "Now take it easy I have a spare copy of Mudtown Blues I can give you and look I'm even signing it." He pulls out some sort of writing device that has a heavy font weight and proceeds to sign Tink's parchment, the copy of Mudtown Blues he gives to Restlin, Bosk's sword, Beri's Cloak and Garret's face.

He sniffs a little while he signs the halfling's face and does a double take on Garret's feet, he also does a double take near Bosk and Zane kind of blanches and says, "Some of you are really tall or really short and your costumes look so real, plus Garret actually smells the way I've always thought he would." When he gets to Bosk's sword he says, "Hey that's a real sword and it's sharp! You guys...a... really went all out didn't you?"

He tells them, "Well I think I need to sit down, now that you've all had your autographs I take it you'll be leaving. The door is that way." he points

"Don't get me wrong it is nice to meet such dedicated fans of mine but I'm in the middle of writing this new story and kind of in the zone. You understand don't you?"

He heads to the exit, thinking out loud over the rings.

As his cloak is being signed, Beri notices a very intriguing book.
Guys, do you see that? A copy of Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man #1! And guess what, it' was written by none other than a Mr. Chuck Vonnegut! You can't hope for a more accurate portal than that! Hmm, I guess that means that we more than likely need to portal into another location. We need to find a connection into that realm. Hmm, and could his latest story have anything to do with one of our upcoming adventures?

He turns back to Chuck, still unclear if he's looking into the eyes of the creator of his universe, or a gifted writer with a crystal ball of some sort.

I hate to keep you from your work, but can I pry into what your newest story is about? Is it another Robo Ninja tale by any chance? Or something completely different? I've always wondered how you came up with such interesting concepts. Was there something that inspired you to bring life to the Robo Ninja series? And your latest story for that matter?

Tink asks for spoilers and tries to scan for magic items. Nothing lights up, which could mean nothing is magical or that her own magic powers to detect magic aren’t working. From what Tink can tell she is on a material plane with little to no magic possibly similar to some of the places the Iron Dragons visited prior to the Sargrass invasion through way of orb.

Restlin demands there be no spoilers and starts to leave. He attempts to think through the rings at the party.

Wyarr also asks for spoilers.

Zane checks if his darkvision is working and plays with his quiver. He can still see in the dark, but he can’t seem to access his quiver’s magical space.

Beri notices a copy of Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man on the shelf and asks Chuck about both it and what he is currently working on.

Chuck says to Beri, “Don’t get me wrong Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man was one of the first things I wrote and a nice stepping stone to bigger and better things but I have moved beyond him plus there was that whole legal dispute with MGM over alleged similarities to you-know-who. I mean I guess it’s nice to know you guys like some of my other books and have been following my career for a while but I’ve turned the page as far as he’s concerned if you pardon my pun. As for what I’m working on know, well you’ll just have to wait for my next book to come out like everyone else, now if you’ll excuse me…” he trails off going back to pressing buttons on his device that looks like a lit up black mirror attached to a base with a number of buttons.

Tink notices the fan might be controlled by a small white switch set into the wall but it does not appear to be trapped.

"Of course. I'm sure your next book will be very popular.

Beri tries to keep the author talking, hoping they can get some useful information.

Yes, that legal dispute was such a shame. And you had set up so many tantalizing plot hooks that we never got to see developed. I can't tell you how many times I've wondered what was planed for the Robo Ninjaj, or where he'd be now if the story had been allowed to continue. I suppose that's what keeps drawing me back to that story, all of the potential that was built up just waiting to be released.

Beri tries to talk to the others over the ring.
I'm not sure what to ask. I feel like he has to know something that can help... do you think asking to look at/buying the copy of the book would be worth it? We did read the books before we got here, so unless the cover is magic... hey, do you think he woke up a few nights ago to find a bunch of empty covers with no books?

Tink suggests cheekily that Chuck add a eunuch to his next book, gets the feeling Chuck is hiding something about Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man and gets ready to make a move should Chuck reach for the light switch. She then looks over her shoulder to see Agatha fiddling with her backpack.

Sesha is not pleased with the situation and tries to cast the bloodwitch lore cantrip only to not get anything from it.

Zane points out how his quiver ain't opening and then asks where to next.

Restlin tries to figure out what the switch set in the wall does and he thinks it toggles the spinning fan blades on the ceiling. Restlin tries to cast a spell and a few things happen at the same time; a whirring noise starts emanating from Agatha's backpack; any spells or abilities triggered previously immediately take effect, all the messages sent over the rings come over the rings at the same time and Zane's quiver opens.

Agatha says, "The magic field projector works! the only problem is I don't know how long it will last so I might have to turn it off again unless you guys need some spells. Sprocket came up with this gem in case we really didn't have magic and needed to open a portal. Beri's pack has one too."

Chuck fails the save vs the charm effect, He says "Look, I don't want to rehash the court case. We lost I had to stop writing the books and pay a fine. Meanwhile they got to keep making their movies but maybe I got the last laugh considering the remake they pushed a few years ago hasn't been given a sequel yet. I mean I enjoyed Gary Oldman's performance but the original and it's sequel were better plus it had the funny dad from that 70's show."

Garret sits on the floor munching on soggy bread.

Beri then chimes in about how the legal dispute was a shame and there were so many places the stories could have gone. He asks over the rings what he should ask.

Chuck says, "You know you seem like a good lot, a little strange and really really into character in the case of the bloodwitch, but hey everyone's a character right? Is that motor in your pack electric or internal combustion? You might want want to turn that off if its internal combustion since I'm not sure if we have adequate ventilation but anyway I guess i can let you in on a little secret. I didn't come up with the mega cyber robo ninja man character. I mean I wrote the stories down but I heard them over this. He goes to a panel in the wall and opens it only to reveal a small black box with dials, knobs and wires. The funny thing is I haven't thought about it for a while but maybe if we are lucky I can catch a broadcast and you can heat it for yourself. I mean I thought these were just indy radio dramas but maybe just maybe they were transmissions from another dimension or something like that."

Chuck starts fiddling with the dials on the box.

Restlin tries to detect magic on the box Chuck is fiddling away with, it is very strange as it isn’t magical but it feels as if it was being powered by some kind of lightning evocation but it isn’t.

Garret is puzzled by what Chuck is doing.

Tink watches what Chuck is doing and sees some kind of wave pattern on the device as well as hearing different jumbled noises as he turns the dials.

Wyaar is glad they didn’t have to tie Chuck up and asks Agatha is she has a way of testing dimensional signals with her.

Bosk tightens his hand around his sword and asks Chuck if he is going to summon him to them.

Agatha says to Wyaar, “I got one of those in both packs some where, just one thing at a time. I’m trying to figure out if I should conserve the magic field. Who knows what this box does I don’t know if my magic will interfere with this new magic this world seems to possess, those spinning fan blades, that black mirror and now this box all do things in response to Chuck’s stimuli yet none radiate magic, it feels like they are almost being powered by something reminiscent of a lightning evocation but it isn’t.”

Chuck says to Bosk, “I’m not summoning him, way to stay in character, I’m just trying to find the channel that spoke of him.”

Finally Chuck seems satisfied and a voice speaks over the radio, “This is Lazer Hawk. Can anyone hear me? Dr Henrichzimmerschneit has really done it this time. Not only does he have his mad nearly indestructible robot body housing his brain but he’s created 8 robots with terrifying weapons that I fear are more than Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man and the tribe can handle. We’ve tried using hit and run tactics against them but the damage we do has been nominal. If anyone is out there we would welcome them to the cause. “

The message starts to repeat while Agatha starts fiddling with something else in her backpack.

Hmm...so maybe this Chuck guy is just a detour. Sounds like what they really need is on the other side of that device he has. He looks over the Agatha, fairly sure she's had the same idea.

"Does it transmit as well, or can we just listen?" Restlin really carefully watches Chuck fiddle with the device, trying to get a handle on how it works.

Over the link Beri responds to Zane.
I would assume it is enough of a link. With the books we were trying to open a portal with something already removed and relocated to our dimension. Here we have a live, direct link that we can verify is correctly tuned. The real question is whether we can copy the frequency, but it looks like Agatha is a few steps ahead of us on that already.

Beri listens to the repeating message, the voice seems convincing enough.

Well, whether it's an indy radio station really is from another dimension, it sounds like they could use some help. By any chance, when you were listening to this in the past did you ever hear confirmation of someone using magic or having supernatural powers? Or mention of weak points that the enemies tend to have? Anything that could help us if we were to fight along side them out in... a crossover?

This might seem unorthodox, but could I commission you to write a novella or short story involving Bosk? I have the gold coins with which to pay.

Restlin thinks that Chuck seems like a detour and that Agatha has the same idea. He asks Chuck if it can send as well as receive.

Restlin gets the idea that one of the knobs effects how loud the sounds coming over it are while another adjusts the wave pattern on the device.

Chuck says to Restlin, “Sorry Sam but the transmitter broke and I could never find a replacement for this model.”

Garret asks if they can and should help and also where are the ones who need help.

Zane asks if the broadcast is enough to open a portal and if so he votes for doing it and then going.

Wyaar looks to Agatha and considers leaping through the device.

Beri opines that the radio transmissions could be used to create a new portal and asks Chuck questions about what they might face.

Bosk offers some gold to the author. He stares at Bosk dubiously and glances at the gold coins doubtfully - sense motive 10 Highlight to display spoiler: {he seems to think that they’re fake. Or that you’re all insane}. ”Aren’t you taking this in character thing to far? And I don’t do commissions sorry.”

Chuck says, “Well Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man does have some ninja abilities and there are some null blades on both sides of the conflict but other than that I think abilities of the dramatis personae are more technological than supernatural.”

Agatha says, “Give me some time to calibrate the portal generator in the backpack and then we should be able to proceed the only thing is I don’t know if we will be able to retrieve the portal generator once we are on the other side. I also don’t know how hard it will be to journey back home once we are 2 portals removed. I’ll try to set something up to travel, if you have anything else you want to do here better do it quick.”

"We've got the guidebooks right here, plus a bunch of you read them for 'research' purposes." Restlin makes little air quotes, even though he's communicating over the ring.

Anyway, this guy should probably get out of their way for a bit. "Thank you for your hospitality, Chuck. We're gonna put you to sleep now and try to save our world.

Tink asks if they should take Chuck with them.

Restlin opines they have plenty of guidebooks and that some of the group has read the books he then puts Chuck to sleep.

Garret is incredulous about needing another portal to another place and wonders if they will be sliding indefinitely.

Zane suggests Chuck might make a good anchor.

Beri is worried the rings aren’t working. He suggests the sleeping Chuck keep an eye on the radio.

Wyaar says more story ideas should be available.

Bosk wonders if Starblazer could help.

Agatha fires a ray from her backpack at the device Chuck was fiddling with and a portal starts to open. She says, “I don’t think we’ll have too long with this one being open so you’d better hurry and if we are taking him,” nodding to the sleeping Chuck, “someone better grab him.”

She takes the backpack off and it is kind of leaning on a stand like setup and grabs the grapple from the pack as she starts approaching the portal. “I’m going to try to pull it from the other side, but if that doesn’t work, I’ll need the spare pack.”

Wyarr tests his magic as well. He detects no evil and his quiver seems to be working.

Dock makes some noises that Zane interprets to mean its medium humanoid shaped construct body was not equipped with wings.

The Iron Dragons don’t have to wait long for some kind of welcoming committee. A group of humans with various shades of colored hair wearing leather jackets adorned with strange accoutrement ride toward where the portal spat you out on strange vehicles that hover over the desolate landscape.

(Sense Motive: 20: Highlight to display spoiler: { While they appear to be armed with some of the odd weaponry you remember from the Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man comic they don’t appear to be brandishing it in a threatening manner}

The human on the lead vehicle has a single line of green hair that splits the center of his head.

Bosk asks Beri about a mirror and takes a peek into the spirit realm.

Wyarr detects evil on the lead rider. He doesn’t register as evil.

You are in a relatively flat area. As stated previously there is metal wreckage and stunted trees scattered throughout the wasteland.

The human in the lead vehicle gets to about a 100 hundred feet out before turning his vehicle to the side and landing. He calls out, “Who goes there? Be ye friend or foe?”

The other riders also stop. While no one makes any overly aggressive moves some do do something with the weapons they are holding.

Since you are asking us and not attacking blindly, can I assume you are friends as well?

Guys, we reached hear by targeting the call for help... the books took us within mere feet of where we needed to be, since this time the other end was actually sending us a message to follow I have to assume we are once again close to our mark... we should let them know we got their message.

Garret smiles and waves.

Zane stands around looking tough.

Restlin says they’re friends then talks about being from another dimension.

Wyarr says they’re only foes to evil

Beri points out that these guys were the ones likely calling for help.

Tink prepares for a fight, just in case.

The lead rider calls out, “My name is Lazer Hawk, this here is my tribe the cyberhawks and if you mean what you said about being a foe to evil and tyranny then yes we are friends as you would all be the enemy of our enemy Dr Henrichzimmerschneit, his annihilator robot body and his 8 robot masters. It isn’t safe to be out in the open, let us take you to our hideout and you can gear up as I’m not sure how effective your primitive looking weapons will be for the inevitable fight when the robot masters catch up with us especially since they are made out of an alloy much stronger than iron. If you are from a low tech world that does not possess advanced technology like ours our doctor can install a chip in your brain that will let you know how to use our weapons as if you’d trained with them for years. He can also install other cybernetic upgrades if anyone is interested.”

Lazer hawk asks, “Do you have a way to move with us quickly or should we double up on our air bikes?”

(Sense Motive DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: { He seems to mean for you to double up on the strange vehicles they are riding })

I can fly pretty fast, though I have no clue how fast this "byke" thing of yours moves, so probably best to go with you. It sounds like we are going to need some of those upgrades you mentioned... though I fear that I don't know what "siebern-atic" means. And while our technology may be less advanced than yours, we have other sciences that might be effective. Tell me more about this alloy that this doctor is using, is it vulnerable to anything? Electricity? And are these robots ground troops, or can any of them fly? Oh, actually, let me tell you a little about our "sciences", if the robots have some natural protection against them we'll need to rely more heavily on your technology.

Garret jumps on one of the mechanical mounts.

Zane points out that the taurs may not be able to fit on the things. He’s prepared to fly after them.

Bosk stays quiet and lets the others talk.

Tink is unsure about the cyberchip offer.

Beri can fly but figures he’d better ride along. He asks questions about the tech here.

Restlin can’t resist the bike and hops on.

Sesha can totally resist the bikes and flies along.

Lazerhawk indicates that he wants Beri to ride with him while some of the other dragons double up with some of the Cyberhawks. Sesha, Zane and Bosk make other arrangements.

To Beri Lazerhawk explains, “Cybernetic means a kind of artificial upgrade for your body that makes you tougher, stronger, more agile or enables you to do new things. What was done to Cyber Robo Ninja Man was kind of an extreme case of cybernetic upgrades but he was dead unless they made him what he became.”

“As for this alloy have you ever heard of adamantium? That is what the doctor used to construct his creations and these robots are larger than your bull headed friends so it must have taken a lot for him to harvest enough of it for 8 of them. On top of that each one has its own forcefield, integrated weapon system and unique special attack. Sure they are vulnerable to electric attacks but Dr. Henrichzimmerschneit built these things in such a way that they aren’t affected by most magic. Not sure if you guys use that or not. I mean don’t get me wrong magic is rare here but there are still some who can use it or things like it. Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man has certain abilities we don’t quite understand but he says they aren’t magic but Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man sword is a null blade which is kind of a merging of magic and technology. One of the robot masters has one too. As far as I know those are the only 2 in existence and both are integrated into Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man and the robot master’s body.”

After several minutes you find yourself in sort a hilly area, the cyberhawks take a sharp right turn and arrange themselves in order to ride single file down a pretty well disguised mine shaft. When you reach the bottom of the shaft you are in the cyberhawk’s hideout.

The former mine has been converted into a dwelling of sorts with a living area, sleeping area, kitchen, area where they park the air bikes, training area and a sort of med bay / lab.

Lazerhawk introduces you to a person in the medbay doing something with some kind of intimidating looking instruments.

Lazerhawk says, “This is here is our cybernetic surgeon, Dr. Nick. If you guys want something like the feat slot upgrade let him know and he can install it in you real quick.”

Dr Nick is a shortish human with black hair, a mustache that is mostly stubble and a short beard. He is wearing a lab coat with a purple shirt and pink tie underneath. Upon seeing the newcomers he calls out, “Hi everybody!”

Agatha wastes no time in beating around the bush and says to Dr. Nick, “Hello. I am a scholar from another world that does not possess cybernetics and would like to learn more about it if possible. Is it true your discipline is able to bring beings back from the dead like the case of Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man? If so do you think it could be applied to a dead god?”

Dr Nick says to Agatha, “A dead god? You mean that figuratively yes? I mean whether the implants take especially in the case of certain procedures involving nanotech and reconstructive surgery then the fitness of the specimen is a factor so if you have a relative Adonis than I would say there is a good chance of the procedure being a success but it requires a lot of study or some cybernetic brain surgery for someone to be skilled enough to pull it off. Also you’d need a fully stocked cybernetics lab as well so even if you learned the skills they prolly wouldn’t help you if cybernetics labs are non existent on your world.”

Agatha replies to Dr. Nick, “No I mean an actual God well the 2 I’m specifically interested in restoring are Goddesses really but that is besides the point. I take it you actually need the remains in order to have the intercession and part of the problem is we don’t really know where dead gods go. Then again maybe it would be better to inspect Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man first and see the outcome of a cybernetic resurrection up close before researching it too much if it is a dead end for my purposes.”

Dr. Nick asks everyone else, “Is she always like this?”

You seem to have the run of the hideout. What now?.

As soon as they enter the lab with Dr. Nick, Garret starts wandering around, picking up things and looking at them, then putting them back down in different places. He smells some of the things and looks around for snacks as well.

"Always," Restlin replies. "Our world is much more magically advanced than yours, but your technology makes us look like we're a step above living in caves. Agatha here has proven herself to be an absolute genius when it comes to blending arcane and machine energies. A bunch of us can toss magic around, but when it comes to actual theory and breaking new ground, we can't touch her. If she's offering help, and she probably will just to get her hands on new technology, I'd highly recommend taking her up on it."

Restlin is super curious about this new technology. He spends some time looking through what they have. He's not keen on chopping off properly functioning limbs since he has no way of repairing them back home, but it's super cool.

Well, that does put me at a disadvantage. I'm quite a skilled magic user, but not so much when it comes to manual combat. You said they aren't affected by "most" magic, do you know what classes of magic or types of spells they are still vulnerable to?

In any case, it doesn't look like I'll be relying on my magic here so I'll likely need an implant and some weapons.

Garret pokes around sniffing things.

Restlin sings Agatha’s praises and looks at all the interesting tech

Sesha admonishes Agatha to focus on the task at hand.

Wyarr checks the doctor for evil and considers the weapons

Tink asks about the best defenses against the enemy

Beri worries at how useful he’ll be against magic resistant opponents.

Bosk is all ready to load up on new tech and wonders if he’ll be able to play piano after he gets an implant.

The things Garret smells are like nothing he’s ever smelt before but the components in the cybernetics lab are inedible. The hideout does have a kitchen though…

Restlin looks through what the Lazerhawks have. Dr Nick pulls up some things on a screen projected in air and then shows the mage priest how to use the console. (OOC: Pretty much any weapon except the null blade, any implant plus the feat slot as for other high tech items please ask specifically)

Agatha says to Sesha, “Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man does not appear to be here right now, so while examining him may be important, learning what I can about these techniques could pay dividends later, but the machines Sprocket and I have worked out are much more primitive than the items here. I kind of wish Sprocket had decided to take this journey as he’s much better with machines.”

Lazer Hawk says to Zane, “Well that is certainly one way to deal with them, tell me do you turn into an actual fire breathing dragon? We don’t have any of those here.”

Wyaar does not detect evil on Nick.

Lazerhawk says to Tink, “We’ve fought Dr. Henrichzimmerschneit robot minions in the past but these robot masters are something else. The problem is the 8 masters are all different, some are range fighters while others get close up and personal. Honestly I’d suggest seeing the master’s preferred method of attack and do the opposite. If they are a range fighter get in their face and if they are a melee combatant keep your distance.”

Lazerhawk says to Beri, “It’s rumored that magic was tested against the masters and a spell was found that did slow them down but I’m not sure which one it was.”

Know [Arcana] : DC 35 Highlight to display spoiler: {You remember Adamantite Golems can be effected by transmute metal to wood as if it was a slowing effect and any other spell that does not allow spell resistance. Perhaps the masters have similar weaknesses. }

Lazerhawk says to everyone, “Well we have various, rifles, handguns, grenades and heavy weapons. We pretty much are opening our arsenal up. You answered our call and we need your help. After you’ve made your selections you are welcome to the training area.”

(OOC: Please indicate what cybernetic upgrades / weapons you are interested in if any)

Zane looks over the weapons and other things. Asks a few questions about them and comes up with a decision....
"Let me get this straight.. By implant it means it goes inside of you.... I'm not exactly happy with that, but in order to use those weapons effectively, I guess I need one.
As for the other stuff, I like the sound of that forcefield thing, as powerful as i can get and those one shot missile things, I'll just carry as many as I can. Got any in my size?"

"I will take the implant as well to be able to use the weapons, though do not think I will carry any. My bow will suffice." Wyaar says as he eyes the equipment, "But the force shield looks usefully too. One of those as well, as powerful as possible."

Sesha [AC 35 /23 To/35 Fl] | HP 21/129 | CMD 33] 
Thursday October 4th, 2018 9:25:25 PM

Sesha is uncertain with adding any of this stuff to her body. Some of it seems like it might be useful back home, but she isn't quite ready to suddenly trust her life and those of her comrades to weapons and artifice she did not know.

"The med-lance. I can put a potion in it and inject someone else, right?"

Other than that, she would much rather focus on finding spells that affect the robo-men and robo-masters.

"Do spells that affect the environment, say, repel metal work against them?"

Otherwise at a loss, it seems as if she is going to be taking the augment and transmute approach.

"Mage-Priest, can you scribe me a scroll of Transformation?"

Well, even with knowledge of how to use the weapons, I'm not particularly ready to defend myself when it comes to combat that's up close and personal. I'm spent years studying how to effectively cast devastating spells from the back line, which of these would be the best for that? It's too bad nobody has invented a death ray... what?! This world actually has those? Oh, but not good for robots? Too bad.

Oh, is that thing a rail gun? Would you recommend one of those?
And that forcefield thing Zane mentioned. One of those would be great as well.

"Sorry, Transformation isn't one I'm familiar with either"

Tink looks over the items these people have. Some of it is very interesting. Tink is still quite apprehensive about getting something stuck in her head - especially if she doesn't completely understand how it works. What if someone uses it to control her?

She looks more closely at the gear.

That monowhip might be perfect for someone of small stature and little strength. Since she knows how to use a whip it also means no implant needed.

An EMP Pistol and Laser Pistol would both be handy ranged weapons for her.

Veedmod goggles could certainly be handy for her scouting

A neurocam could create a 'backup' Tink.

A Robojack could probably help against robots

Signal Jammers could perhaps limit control against things attacking the party

A Trauma Pack Plus would mean someone other than Sesha could cast Breath of Life. A very handy 'just in case' spell.

She also eyes the Cortex gun and checks to see if they have any Mark IV canisters lying around.

The party would also likely need a good pile of batteries as well.

Garret watches Tink review the gear. He figures he probably needs two things: one for up close and one for ranged. He likes the idea of the healing stuff because with his speed, he might be able to get to people to heal them and with the strange firepower, he imagines any of the dragons could be the big offensive fighter.

Choose Your Weapons... (DM Hugh) 
Friday October 5th, 2018 7:07:24 PM
Garret indicates he wants the feat upgrade and then asks what weapons would be good up close.

Lazerhawk says to Garret, “We can give you a chainsaw, a laser torch, a monowhip, a stun baton or any of a number of pistols.”

Zane is a little dubious about getting the implant and then asks about forcefields and rocket launchers.

Lazerhawk says to Zane, “We can 3D print rocket launchers in your size, each one will weigh 20 pounds, have 10 rounds and do more damage than a standard rocket launcher. (8d6) We also have the capacity to make cold and electric rounds. How much can you carry? We can print multiple launchers and just strap them to your back. As for force fields we carry brown through prismatic and will get you a prismatic.”

Wyaar opts for the implant but no weapons and a prismatic forcefield of his own.

Lazerhawk says to Wyaar, “Would you like some explosive arrows for your bow? If so what type would you like?” (OOC: Arrow shaped grenades that can be launched from a bow)

Sesha is also dubious and asks if the medlance can inject potions and if the masters might be affected by environmental spells and if Restlin can give her a scroll of transformation.

Lazerhawk says to Sesha, “Yes the medlance can inject potions, if you have them but we generally don’t. As for your magic question potentially, though you seem to be more knowledgeable in that so maybe one of your companions can answer that.”

Restlin eyes the enhancements and answers Sesha’s question negatively before asking Tink if she has transformation.

Tink gathers a small pile of equipment consisting of a monowhip, an emp pistol and a laser pistol, vee mod goggles (what color?), a robojack, signal jammer, trauma pack plus, and a mark IV cortex gun as well as a lot of batteries. She goes for the neurocam but Lazerhawk says, “We don’t have clone pods or the ability to upload a stored consciousness to a robot so you probably won’t need that.”
Tink them tells the others what she remembers about adamantine golems and how maybe their weaknesses are built into the robot masters.

Bosk tries to make sense of the offerings.

Garret thinks about getting things for up close, ranged and fast healing.

Lazer Hawk, and the rest of the cyberhawks get to work scrounging up the requested gear while Dr. Nick beckons those of you interested in the cybernetic enhancements to get in line for his operating table.

Some of the iron dragons have as yet to make up their minds.

Would that work? Can we become effectively constructs if we replace enough of our bodies with machinery?

"Nice" Tink handles each of the items to get a feel for them, but then hands the cortex gun back"Sorry. I'm still a bit wary about having something put into my brain. Don't suppose you have some hologram generators though?" If so, Tink will look to grab a gray one (at a minimum).

I think in addition to the much needed cybernetic implant I'll go with the rail gun and a force field. Also, a few of those EMP grenades in case I get pinned down.

I forgot to ask where we are going, will we be needing any access cards/lock coder, a Signal Jammer, E-Pick?
And do any of the masters use an attack that would require the use of a Filter Mask?

Restlin ponders if the application of enough cybernetics could turn one into a construct. He thinks it might be possible but major pieces would have to be outright replaced. He thinks to consult with Dr. Nick and this is his reply, “What you ask is possible but you’d have to replace most if not all of your vital organs and it could take weeks for everything to stabilize. We really don’t have that kind of time.”

Tink accepts most of the gear but replaces the cortex gun for a holographic generator (prismatic are available) She suggests gravity clips and asks what the plan is for heading out.

Lazerhawk says, “Yes we will wait here overnight then rendezvous with Mega Robo Cyber Ninja Man at the rendezvous point. We can then strategize how to take down the Robot Masters. Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man has been running interference with them while we recruited allies.”

Bosk debates the merits of a rail gun or gravity clip.

Zane informs Lazerhawk that he can indeed turn into a dragon.

Wyaar accepts some exploding arrows. (OOC: I said we are reskinning some of the grenades as arrows that can be shot from a bow; hence exploding arrows. Pick your payload from the grenade section.)

Beri opts for the feat chip, the railgun and a force field as well as some EMP grenades. He asks if it would be wise to take signal jammers, e-picks, or access cards and if any of the masters have an attack that a filter mask could help with. Lazerhawk says, “I know not on what battlefield we will challenge the robot masters but e-picks or access cards could come in handy depending on where we are. As for the filter mask, nothing we’ve seen from the masters yet seems like you would need one.

Bosk asks if they will be vulnerable to EMP if they get the implant, Nick says, “If all you have is the brain chip you won’t but if you replaced major organs with cybernetic then it could. Your gear could be negatively affected by EMP.“

You still have some time between now and morning, what do you do? There’s a ruckas in the back of the base; it seems the guy you brought along has woken up from the sleep spell so someone should go check on him.

Restlin nods at Dr. Nick's response and files it away under plan B. He closes his eyes and starts poking at the display. He's on a luck quest; picking his gear now seems like cheating...

"Let's see...a gravity grenade, a blue forcefield, an emergency raft, veemod goggles w/ a blue veemod, and something called at autograpnel."

Zane says, 'I can only transform a few times a day, and for a few minutes at a time, it takes a lot of my internal energies for me to unleash my inner dragon, but let me move to the rooms center and I'll show you since we seem to be in a relatively secure location."
He moves to an area where there's room and becomes a Bronze Dragon after casting form of the dragon 1(the lesser version) he dismisses it after half the duration. The may be friends, but not every secret or advantage needs to be unveiled.
After reverting back to his normal look, "as to the missile launchers, I can probably carry 10 or 12, if we can rig some way for me to carry that many, they look fairly bulky."

OOC: Small launchers do 8d6, medium do 12d6, do large do 16d6?

Sesha too considers that her best uses might be as a weapons platform.

"I can hold a dragon shape even longer than Zane. If someone wants to grab some larger weapons, we can work on getting a harness and some gear together."

Sesha settles on a medlance, a force field projector as strong as can be found, and asks for some way to rig a harness for herself in a draconic form, so that anyone riding is both secure and has access to weapons.

Zane laughs at himself, then adds, "Geezzz I forgot all about this, guess it's because Gimp offered the Upgrades and I didn't actually pay for it."
Zane pulls his Kama from the sash he wears as a belt, as he does so, the stick he pulled out of the sash, gains a glowing light for a kama blade on one end of it.
"This will by-pass all armor, so it might by-pass the tough stuff of the Adamantite as well."
He spins it around in his fingers and then tucks it back into his belt, as he does the blade extinguishes.

DM Clarification: If the Armor being worn granted the DR, I'd expect the DR to be by-passed, but if it's constructed with the DR, I doubt it'll by-pass the DR, but will by-pass the Armor. Am I correct?

In theory, I can also transform into a dragon. But rumor has it there can be consequences if I were to try. Bosk, remind me to ask Gargul if I have his blessing to take such a form in the future.

Hmm, based on what you are saying, I'll definitely grab an e-picks and access card. Also a signal jammer, may prevent reinforcements from being called. Oh, and a trauma pack plus... we've run into to many enemies that can instantly kill you, I can't even begin to guess the odds of that when in realm where death rays exist.

Restlin, did you ask for a blue forcefield? They offered prismatic a while ago, is there something about the blue one that I'm overlooking?

Garret opts for a chainsaw, an emp rifle and a trauma pack.

Restlin tests his luck and randomly picks a gravity grenade, a blue forcefield, an emergency raft, veemod goggles w/ a blue veemod and an autograpnel. He looks down and finds a dart gun loaded with a half full nanite canister (5 rounds) under the console he is working at.

Zane shows how he can turn into a dragon and then says he would like 10 or 12 launchers (OOC: I mean it does 8d6 of both damage types or 16d6 total Dmg (M) 6d6 f, 6d6 blu.; Dmg (S) 4d6 f, 4d6 blu.;) Zane also shows off his new weapon; (OOC I think you are right)

Sesha says she can hold a dragon form longer than Zane and brings up the getting harness and gear together for larger weapons. She also grabs a medlance and a prismatic force field generator and things to create a harness.

Wyaar will pursue the arrow selection.

Beri brings up he can turn into dragon theoretically and grabs an e-pick, signal jammer and access card along with a trauma pack plus. He also asks Restlin about his force field choice.

Bosk grabs the same stuff as Beri with a few edits.

Tink goes to see their capti- no, guest.

The Cyberhawks and Dr. Nick set about retrieving the requested gear.

As Tink approaches she can hear Chuck yelling at the guard to his room. He seems to be demanding to know where he is from the guard but no liking the answers he’s getting. Many unfamiliar words are used that are probably profanity.

Chuck sees Tink and turns his wrath onto her. ”YOU! What kind of messed up prank is this?!? Drugging me, kidnapping me, and dragging me off to some fake Cyberhawk base?!? I’ll get you thrown in jail for this stunt!”

"Neat," says Restlin to no one in particular as he pockets the nanite canister. He tries to figure out what kind of nanites are in it. Hopefully the canister is color-coded.

He heads over to poor Chuck, squatting down while fixing the veemod goggles into place. He turns around, still able to see Chuck even with his back to him. "Holy moley this is cool," he says before addressing Chuck.

"Ok dude, look. Reality is a lot bigger and weirder than you think. I am Restlin the Mendicant, worshiper of Wardd, consort to Sesha to Unrelenting, chief spell chucker of the Iron Dragons, and all around nice guy."

He pulls Shiny from its scabbard, turns it blade down, and presses the hilt against Chuck. At the same time, he asks Shiny to cast a Fox's cunning spell on the hapless author. "Feeling smarter all the sudden? You know what Shiny here can do, right? Put the pieces together." He returns Shiny to its scabbard, thanking it for its help.

He observes his friends plan to turn his girlfriend into a draconic weapon platform. He's ready to move out whenever; joining in the careful preparation would go against his current ethos.

Hi Chuck,

Sorry about the unexpected trip. I'm sure you've realized by now that the radio broadcast was real, that we're real, and assuming you've used a similar radio to learn of our adventures you know why we are here. If you need proof this is real, I can transform for you. That's something I believe wouldn't' be possible in your magicless realm.

DM Mitch

Garret starts the chainsaw and revs it a little.

Restlin straps on his veemod goggles before demonstrating to Chuck an actual spell.

Zane works on the weapons rig before asking how painful the procedure is.

Dr Nick says, “I can knock you out for the procedure, but there will be some pain initially as your body gets used to the implant. Since those that want the upgrade are just getting the feat slot there will be a little pain. (OOC: You take 1 con damage on the implementation, you can remove this ability damage through normal means)

Sesha is unfazed by the pain

Wyaar volunteers to go first.
Dr Nick says, “Do you want the local anesthetic or to be put completely under?”

Beri also tries to convince Chuck that everything is real.

Chuck stares at the group incredulously. Safe?!? Protected?!? Are you out of your minds?! You #@!% morons brought me to this hellhole where the average life expectancy is measured in hours to keep me safe?! What is wrong with you?! I’m an author not some adventurer, I’ll be dead by tomorrow!” Sense Motive 30 Highlight to display spoiler: { You get the feeling he already knew that it was real and was just really trying to convince himself it wasn’t. }

He seems to have vented his rage for the moment. He stands there breathing hard for a moment, then something seems to snap and he starts crying. ”Oh god I’m going to die here. I’m never going to see my wife or my kids again. They’ll get home and I’ll just be gone, what are they going to do?”

He turns and goes back into his room, wiping away tears and slamming the door behind him, refusing to answer anyone or open it.

Restlin realizes this Chuck fellow knew the whole time all his stories were real. That chaps his hide...

"Wait a minute...you knew, didn't you?" he shouts through the door. "You had a gizmo that let you listen to other dimensions, you heard about whole worlds of people who were in trouble and didn't have the peace and safety you knew, and you figured the best use of said gizmo is to profit off it and keep it a secret? You could have given it to scientists the help further the knowledge of your entire world, but no.

Restlins idea is distressing, almost as distressing as Garret with a chainsaw.

I expected him to be in the way, but we've handled that before. So his reaction is more for his effect. But think about it, Someone else in his World was also listening in on this world, so his reaction is not unusual.

Beri is aware of Restlin and Chuck having a conversation, but all he hears is the leftover ringing in his ears. By the time the ringing starts to subside he catches Zane explaining why Chuck woke to find himself in this strange world with the Iron Dragons.

Ahh, that's why you brought him along... I honestly wasn't sure when you jumped through the portal with him.

Oh, Chuck, I grabbed your black, mirror thing. It looked like you were working on something important and wanted to make sure it wasn't left behind.

Restlin fails his empathy check and berrates Chuck. Not that Chuck hears it since he fled into his room already and locked the door behind him.

Garret wanders into the room, revving his chainsaw as he goes, trying to get the other Dragons attention.

Sesha finds Restlin’s ideas to be disturbing and urges his lover to calm down arguing that Chuck is not as terrible as many of others they’ve met in their adventurers and likens what Chuck did to adventurers holding onto magic items instead of selling them for money for food for villages.

Zane explains he brought Chuck in order to hopefully have a way to get back from Chuck’s world and then home. He also points out that someone else in that world could also hear about Ninjaman.

Wyaar opts for the local and then says maybe Chuck has additional insight.

Dr. Nick motions for Wyaar to lay face down on the table. He sprays something on the back of Wyaar’s head that makes it feel numb. “Hold still.” Dr Nick says as he pushes some buttons on a console and a rather scary looking device with all sorts of instruments comes down from the ceiling. The procedure feels weird. Wyaar doesn’t so much as feel any pain but he does feel some pressure as Dr. Nick manipulates the device to rest just above Wyaar’s head and some instruments are used on the paladin. About a half hour after Nick started he says, “The feat chip has been installed. You should find you know how to use our weapons as if you had been training with them for a while. Go to the range and test it out. Post operation Wyaar does feel a little less hail after the ordeal (1 con damage).but he seems to know all about the operation and maintenance of pistols, rifles, heavy weapons and grenades.

Beri was having a hard time hearing conversation while Garret was revving his chain saw and then manages to catch the tail end where Zane explains why he grabbed chuck. Beri informs chuck he has his black mirror device.

Chuck may or may not be listening from inside his room but you get no response. The door guard recognizes the device though. ”That’s a laptop. He probably uses it to write his stories.”

Tink asks how difficult it would be to return Chuck to his home when they finished and tries to reassure him. She can’t put her arm on his shoulder though since he’s locked in his room.

Dr. Nick says to Bosk, “Please wait your turn, Wyaar already volunteered to go first, but I can take you second.”

After Nick finishes with Wyaar he presses some buttons and the table resizes itself to fit Bosk’s large frame. While he’s doing that the tool platform retracts back up into the ceiling and you can hear odd noises coming from where it retracted to. Nick says, “Got to re sterilize the equipment between procedures. Um are you a mutant?” Nick asks Bosk, “I mean your large size and bovine facial structure potentially suggest you are but maybe your world has different creatures? I mean theoretically I can do the procedure on you and your winged cousin over there (indicating Zane) It’s just typically I do this on humans and I’m not sure how your anatomy may differ.”

Agatha hears of Nick’s trouble and then proceeds to give him a lecture on how Minotaur anatomy differs from human anatomy at least structurally going so far as to draw some diagrams on paper that Nick gave to her on request.

Nick says, “Please assist me with the surgery on anyone who isn’t human as you may know more about their physiology than I do.”

Agatha says, “Well I wanted to learn about cybertechnology so this gives me a front row seat.”

Nick says, “It seems like the minotaur brain while having an enlarged optical cortex and medulla oblongata compared to a human brain is otherwise fairly similar so we shouldn’t have too much of a problem.” (Perception: 25 Highlight to display spoiler: {Nick seems to have whispered to himself something about the minotaur Medulla Oblongata being in line with that of an alligator})

Nick then proceeds to spray Bosk’s head with the substance used on Wyaar and then lowers the tool caddy over Bosk’s head before doing something that feels weird to Bosk. Agatha acts as his nurse mostly just answering any questions he has while asking some of her own. It takes about double the time it took him on Wyaar but when he is done Bosk too feels a little drained (1 constituition damage) but finds that he can think about the various weapons in the catalog and know how they function.

“Who is next?” Nick asks

Restlin takes a breath. He's still unhappy, but him being angry isn't helping anything.

He observes the implantation of machinery into his friends' brains, wondering how much knowledge Agatha will be able to gather. Will she be able to do something similar in their own world?

He also finds a moment to practice casting a few cantrips away from Agatha's device. Does magic function at all in this world without it?

Since anatomy makes a difference in this procedure... what about someone who transforms into other creatures at will? In general I don't worry about those things since equipment and technology melds with me as I change form, but since the technology of your ream differs I thought it best to check.

Well Beri, he can do scans on me while I shift my head. Since I can shift that portion alone a few times each day he can study it in the process if he needs." Zane offers.

He holds out his left hand and arm, the partial change starts near his elbow. A ripple of scales flows down his arm and covers the back of his hand. His skin turns to a bronze colored leather and his finger nails lengthen, become extremely hard and super sharp talons almost a foot in length.
He holds the change for a few seconds and the process reverses until his hand is normal, at least for a Minotaur.
"I can do that with my entire head, a couple times. If it'll help determine if it's safe for use shifters, I'll make myself available for you to examine."

"Exemplary self control, Mage-Priest. I'll reward you when we get home. For now, .. uh.. I need to you take this giant missile and mount me. Lets make sure it all works like it should."

Sesha also tries a weaker polymorph spell, becoming a large silver dragon. It would give the others a chance to test riding from her back and firing on the go.

(Dear DM, the goal here is to work out kinks to remove any penalties from an "unusual mount." The harness and practice and Sesha being an intelligent creature should hopefully manage to wipe out that penalty. If not, I understand. Also, does the force field work while Sesha is polymorphed?)

Tink winces as all the head surgery takes place. Messing with someone's head with magic seems more natural than sticking bits of metal in there.

Garret puts the chainsaw down carving a small divet in the floor of the cave nefor volunteering to go next. With Agatha helping the procedure goes fairly quickly and Garret finds himself a little worn by the ordeal (1 con damage)

(OOC: Apologizing for not making this clear Agatha turned off the magic field after the portal closed, magic while rare is a thing here. Remember the 2 null blades that exist are part magical.)

Restlin calms down and tries to figure out what Agatha can glean. He also casts some spells jut to verify his magic works which he finds they function as normal.

Beri asks Nick about how transformations will effect the chip.

Dr. Nick says, “So your gear merges with your form? Hmmm maybe I can modify the chip to have some nanites that will keep the chip a chip while you transform.”

Zane volunteers to act as a guinea pig for Dr. Nick so they can gauge how the chip will effect shifters. The caddy comes down as Zane partially transforms his head and Nick runs the caddy over Zane’s head presumably taking some scans. Dr. Nick then presses buttons on the console while the scans show up on the projected screen. Dr. Nick makes a chip show up on the minotaur side and then runs simulations showing the minotaur head becoming dragon while the chip disappears. Dr. Nick runs this simulation multiple times each time using a slightly different chip design. Finally a chip stays in chip form from the transition between minotaur and dragon. Dr Nick says, “I think I have a design that will work, it just will take longer to implant than a standard chip and also longer to fabricate. How many more of you need a shifting chip?”

Sesha compliments Restlin on his self control and promises to reward him when they get back home. She then enlists his aid in figuring out how to turn her as a dragon into a mobile weapons platform. She is happy to find the forcefield working on her dragon form when the generator is placed in the harness and that when flying straight she can provide enough stability that the weapons can be used without difficulty, however if aerial evasive maneuvers are needed then difficulty could arise.

Bosk asks Dr. Nick more about the nature of the weaponry and if Dr. Nick knows if an anti-technology field exists.

Tink winces in sympathy and watches those that have chips for any odd behavior.

Dr. Nick says, “Well some of the weapons are what you would call alchemical, relying on chemical propellant to cause a projectile to travel to the target, others use focused beams of energy to do damage while others have different means of doing damage. However all these weapons are technological and many require electronics to function. The problem with electronics is that they are vulnerable to EMP so if you get hit with an EMP it is possible that your weapons could be damaged by it and stop working all together. Some weapons actual project either targeted EMPs or EMPs over a wide area like in the case of a nuke but I don’t think The Robot Masters would be stupid enough to use a nuke in a close range fight.”

It would appear any difficulties in chip implantation have been worked out and after the nanite feat chip is created it becomes successfully implanted in Zane’s head after Zane too gets sprayed with the substance used on the others. Zane too feels strange after the procedure and also feels a little tired post operation (1 con damage)

Dr. Nick looks around at the party. ”Who’s next? Is that everyone who wants a chip?”

Restlin tries to get more data on this EMP phenomenon. Can he mimic it with any spells? What would chain lightning do to a robot? Between Dr. Nick and Agatha, maybe he can figure it out?

Garret’’s eyes light up when he sees Sesha turn into a dragon as he volunteers his expertise.

Restlin asks if EMP effects robots and tries to figure out what chain lightning would do.

Dr. Nick says, “EMP effects robots, chain lightning would effect a normal robot but the masters are far from normal.”

Wyaar uses lay upon hands.

Beri says he also needs a chip.

Zane fingers where his chip got implanted, weighs in on Chuck and then sets out to find food.

Tink has no intention of being chipped (OOC: what type of vee mod goggles did Tink want? You never answered)

Bosk asks if it is possible to create a field that disables robots while enabling their powers.

Dr. Nick says “Possibly but you would need a highly skilled technician and magical user and a lot of time. You’d need to create something that would project an EMP while also projecting that magic field phenomenon. It is probably possible but would probably require more skill than it takes to make a null blade.”

Sesha says she is ready.

Dr. Nick performs the remaining procedures without incident and just like the others before them Beri and whoever else opted in (Sesha? Restlin? Tink explicitly said no) are implanted with the knowledge of the weapons of this world at a small cost (1 con damage) Agatha got one and also got a small pile of technological gear

Food is gotten from the kitchen area and then everyone settles in for the night. Tink practices all of her spells before bed finding she can cast them all.

The next morning the cyberhawks are assembling to meet up with Mega Cyber Robo Man at the rendezvous point. (OOC: how do you travel with them? Double up on a hover bike? Spell? Do you take Chuck)

Restlin's luck didn't include an overland flight spell today, and he'd rather leave the actual fly spell he did prepare for combat. He'll double-up on a bike.

Beri takes a sip of water and takes a moment to regain his composure. He looks over at the guns and realizes he now knows exactly what they are and how to use them, the chip must be working. He notices the others are now talking about moving out.

My guess is it will be safer to let you drive since you know the terrain and the dangers to look out for in this world. Though if flying would be safer in this world I'll transform into an elemental and go that route instead.

During morning prep Tink casts her usual assortment of spells, including a Tishe's Weave Elements. She creates them for herself, Restlin, Zane, Beri, Garret, Wyaar and Sesha. Bosk unfortunately misses out. They take up the chest slot. The outline of each person appears blurred, shifting, and wavering as they don the garments. Everyone - except Bosk - benefits from blur while wearing the shirts.

Tink will also use the hologram generator to store images of each person in the party (including herself) as well as a couple of pictures of plain walls (stone ones and metal ones preferably). When done she stores all of the gear - except the goggles - in her haversack. The Goggles will replace her Eyes of the Eagle.

She has a quick look over these bike things trying to memorise as much detail as she can. It might be fun to build one of these for herself when they get back to Hook City.

"How fast can those things go?" It may be that the bikes are faster than flight. Tink has a 60ft fly speed, so will go whichever has the best top speed. She figures it will likely be the bike, and if so, will try and double-up with whichever rider typically takes point.

She relies on the expertise of the Cyberhawks "Will Chuck be safest here or travelling with us?"

---------------
To summarise the gear that Tink collected:
Tech Weapons: Monowhip, EMP Pistol, Laser Pistol
Tech Gear: Veemod goggles with Blue module, Robojack, Signal Jammer, Trauma Pack Plus, Prismatic Hologram generator, lots and lots of batteries

Tuesday October 16th, 2018 7:41:41 AM
Restlin did not prepare overland flight so he opts to double up on a bike. He did not get a chip.

Garret looks at the strange bikes and asks if he can have one.

Wyaar doubles up on one of the bikes

Zane guesses he’s flying and he has his missile launchers in such a way that they don’t impede flight. (OOC: Yes everyone has their gear they requested)

Beri takes a sip of water realizing he now knows how to use the weapons of this world He says he’ll ride along unless flying solo would be the safer route.

Tink asks where the safest place for Chuck to be.

Sesha buffs herself and hops on her broom.

Lazer hawk says to Garret, “Unfortunately we don’t have a spare working bike you could use. All our functioning bikes have riders, but I could let you try to drive one of the bikes on the way to the rendezvous point just to get a feel for it. One of the cyberhawks will double up with you and then switch back once we reach the rendezvous point which is a stretch of abandon road about 75 clicks south west of here.”

Lazer hawk says to Beri, “I’d say flying on a bike or on your own is equally unsafe. Dr. Henrichzimmerschneit has patrol bots everywhere and it doesn’t matter how you are flying they could engage.”

In response to Tink’s question he says ”We’re going out into a warzone. He should stay here if he’s a non-combatant.”

With that the party sets out.

The party is lead to what seems like an old road of black stone. Metal wrecks that may once have been vehicles dot it here and there, and in the distance they can see tall buildings that seem to be their destination; some kind of abandoned city? The hovering vehicles are able to easily fly over the wrecks and the party makes good time; the distant buildings loom higher and higher until it’s evident that they’re far taller than any building they’ve ever seen even in their half-collapsed state..

Soon they’re in the midst of ruined houses and overgrown yards. The Cyberhawks seem uneasy. One mutters something about it being too quiet; it seems they expected trouble before now. Lazerhawk leads the group into the shadow of the great buildings and tells the Iron Dragons they’ll arrive at the rendezvous shortly.

Just before they leave, Restlin casts mage armor on himself. "Why don't we make buildings this tall back home?" Restlin asks to no one in particular.

"Tink, you're the scout of this shindig. You see anything these guys are missing, maybe? I don't like surprises...well, that's not true. I *love* surprises, but not the kind where a bunch of robots pop out and kill everyone."

When the group heads out, Garret tries to drive a hoverbike. With the strange turns and twists he takes, it is surprising that he does not crash more than once. It is likely they won't be letting him drive one of those things any time soon.

As they approach the city, he looks around a lot, looking for anything moving in the corners and shadows of the place (perception: 43).

Zane tosses out as Restlin muses.
Zane had cast extended Mage Armor on himself as they headed out, the only buff that had a lengthy duration he really worried about.

"Shadows. Perfect" Tink tries to blend in to the shadows. She stays alert for trouble, and even with her Eyes of the Eagle she is still able to see quite well. The VeeMod Goggles give her a 360' view. It's something she isn't used to but still cool.

Restlin had casted mage armor before they left and finds himself questioning why they don’t make buildings as large as what he can see back home.

Garret tries to drive the hoverbike taking some strange twists and turns but only crashing once.

Wyaar keeps his eyes peeled as they approach the rendezvous.

Beri hops on the back of his bike and then pulls out his gem of true seeing, keeping an eye out for traps.

Zane posits that the buildings must have been magically built. He had casted extended mage armor before flying out as had Bosk because the bikes were built with medium creatures in mind.

Tink does her best to hide.

Bosk also huddles down to hide, less successfully.

Without much further ado the party and their hosts reach the part of the road where the rendezvous was to occur. The Cyberhawks land their bikes.

Lazerhawk takes out a device and presses a button sending a sort of statically click.

A few moments pass and then a cloud of smoke appears and a figure materializes as the smoke dissipates.

When the smoke clears you see the recognizable form from the illustrated books you found in Hook City what seems like oh so long ago. He stands about 6 feet tall with a metallic armored looking body. His head is covered in a metallic dome that has some sort of cybernetic visual visor sensor either covering over or in place of eyes but a normal looking humanoid mouth is left exposed below the visor.

In a stilted, deep metallic sounding accent, “Lazerhawk, I see you have finally found us some allies. Perhaps now the tide turns in our favor and we put an end to Dr. Henrichzimmershneit.”

To the Iron Dragons he says (also in the stilted deep metallic sounding accent) , “Greetings. They call me Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man.”

Garret says, “Hi, I’m Garret before asking what Dr. Henrichzimmershneit had done

Restlin points out how Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Thing is an undead and a construct.

Wyaar introduces himself and then attempts to detect evil on Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man. He does not detect as evil.

Beri is relieved that they found who they were looking for and then uses his gem of true seeing to ensure that Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man is real before introducing himself.

Zane is completely strapped with missile launchers and just says his name when Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man turns his attention to the Dragon Disciple.

Bosk walks over and introduces himself.

Sesha picks up the same thing Restlin does, affirms their status as allies and then casts a few buffs.

Tink wonder’s if there’s something shorter they can call him.

”Just call me Mega Man” he tells her.

Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man says to Garret, “Dr. Henrichzimmershneit and his army of robots have effectively taken over. He terrorizes humanity with his army of robots scattered around the globe and he runs it all from inside the Iron Citadel. He’s a brain in a jar inside of the strongest annihilator robot ever created. Sometimes he captures people and turns them into robots against their will”

Agatha barges her way to the front of the group and says, “I’m Agatha Azaroth and it is a pleasure to finally meet you in person. You really are a marvel aren’t you?” She takes some time studying him before she walks over to Sesha and whispers.

Sesha only Highlight to display spoiler: {”I don’t think the technique used on him would do for Serenbeth or Janiterri after all” }

Mega Man takes a closer look at the group. ”I’ve seen many a strange thing in my time but you are one of the strangest. Where did you guys come from?”

Mega Man it is then. And I don't think I can add much regarding where we came from, except that it's a world with more magic and less technology... and once we're done helping you save your world, there is another threat to all worlds that we could use your help with. But that's a long story, and we'll have plenty of time to talk once we are out of danger here.

The druid then turns to Zane to discuss strategey

While a two pronged strategy can be useful, I think we are going to have our hands full with his small army of killer robots. If he is as strong as I'm thinking, it would take several of us over a long time to take the Dr. down. I would guess we will be better off taking them out as quickly as possible before they do too much damage. MegaMan, you've been dealing with these guys already, what are your thoughts?

Tink doesn't have any other questions to add on to the list already asked of Mega-man. She does have one though "How did you make that appearance? Was it a teleportation spell or device? Or were you simply invisible?"

Huh. I guess she did have questions.

She keeps looking about for signs of trouble. This feels like a good spot to get ambushed.

By the way Mega Man, you appears out of nowhere, can the Dr. and his robots sneak around in similar fashion? Is there a way for us to detect them if they are trying to do so?

Restlin details that they come from another dimension, introduces himself and discusses their oaths and brains in jars.

Garret is in agreement about helping out and asks where to find the doctor.

Zane suggests splitting up to attack the Dr.

Beri adds that they may need the man’s help once they stop the Dr and rebutts Zane’s strategy idea.

Wyaar adds that their magics are powerful and agrees that the Dr. is evil

Bosk asks if the robot masters or the annihilator robot have any weaknesses

Tink asks how Mega Man appeared so suddenly.

Garret looks around and sees that it is too quiet

Beri asks if the Robot Masters or the Doctor can do what he just did.

Mega Man says, “I’m a ninja so I can focus my ki in a way that allows me to…[/i]

He is interrupted by several things bursting through walls of the ruined buildings surrounding the road

It would appear the Robot Masters have found you. There are 8 in total and they are joined by a swarm of tiny mechanical dragons that start flying out of the windows of the ruins.

Fireman closes in quickly and pours plasma on the party from his flamethrower. The damage is half electric, half fire (resistances/immunities reduce, not DR). Garret takes 35, Restlin takes 22, Zane takes 27, Beri takes 23, Wyarr takes 31, Bosk takes 26, Tink takes 26, and Sesha takes 26. Agatha takes 30 damage, Megaman takes 23 damage

Bomberman throws out three large devices amidst the group that glow ominously.

Scissorman throws an odd shaped blade that targets Bosk.(61 vs AC; misses due to blink) passes harmlessly by while Bosk is blinking and then arcs back through Bosk’s square (46 vs AC; misses do to blink) which also misses due to blink.

Leafman moves where he can get cover behind one of the vehicles and then fires a blast of devastating sound waves also at Bosk (45 vs touch AC; 9 damage)

Waterman creates a puddle of water and then moves to get cover.

Iceman also peaks behind the wreckage of a vehicle firing off high velocity frozen particles that misses Garret.

Rockman runs towards Zane and then tries to let him have it with a power fist attack only to have Zane’s tough scales turn the attack.

Darkman also charges Zane attacking with a null blade managing to score a hit(50 vs AC; 42 damage)

Megaman draws a huge gravity pistol from his leg and fires it off at Fireman (32 vs touch; 5 damage) hitting the robot master’s force shield. He puts some distance between himself and the bombs.

Agatha draws an emp rifle and fires it at Rockman which misses (natural 1) before also putting some distance between herself and the bombs

The cyberhawks mount their bikes hoping to be able to do something about the tiny robo dragon swarm since they are outclassed by the masters.

Fireman: 5 damage (absorbed by force shield)
Iceman: Unscathed
Waterman: Unscathed
Leafman: Unscathed
Scissorman: Unscathed
Darkman: Unscathed

Ooof...Restlin was not ready. Totally not fair. He casts a time stop spell to give himself a moment - 7 rounds.

Round 1 - Activate forcefield - Save pass, not dazed.
Round 2 - Resist Energy (electricity)
Round 3 - Fly
Round 4 - Greater Invisibility
Round 5 - Summon Monster IX - Astral Deva
Round 6 - Wall of ice as shown on map - 20' high
Round 7 - Forcecage - 20' cell around Rockman

When time gets moving, he flies straight up 45' (fly skill autopass).

The Deva makes a full attack on Darkman.

Hit AC 33 for 19 damage.
Hit AC 40 for 22 damage.
Hit AC 32 for 19 damage.

If it counts as undead, it is destroyed unless it makes a DC14 will save. If at least two of those attacks hit, it is stunned for 6 rounds unless it makes a DC27 fort save.

Garret looks around at the total chaos and disappears from the middle of the pack. He appears directly behind darkman, chainsaw blasting and slashing.

OOC:
Garret uses abundant step to move opposite the Deva. I’m guessing that using a chainsaw he can take multiple attacks as part of a full attack action, but I really have no idea.

Attack (forgot flanking, added here) hits AC/Dam: 38/13, 28/17, 39 (threat: 41 to confirm)/19 or 32, 47/13.

In effect: blur (20% miss chance), haste (1 extra attack when full attacking, +1 atk, +1 AC, +1 reflex, +30’ move)

Notes:
Chain saw: 3d6 dmg, 18-20 x2 crit

Wyaar quickly detects evil on Darkman when he shoes up to gain the full measure of his nature before calling upon the spirit in his bow to further empower it and brushes a hand over his arm to heal the worse of the wounds from the fireman attack.

If Darkman proves to be evil he will activate Aura of Justice to give Beri, Bosk and Zane his smite ability

~~~

Swift Action: Lay on Hands for 25

Move Action: Detect Evil on Darkman, equivilent of three round study
Standard Action: Activate Divine Bond on bow for holy, axiomatic and keen

Free Action: If Darkman is evil, use Aura of Justice to give smite evil to bosk, Beri and Zane.

Smite evil must be activated next round. Gives Beri, Bosk and Zane the following for their target, if evil:

+7 to hit, +19 damage, +7 deflection AC from attacks from the Smite target. Also bypasses all DR the target has

Sesha remembers the group’s plans and reaches for a spell.

Tink flies up and turns invisible as she tries to identify somethings about what they are dealing with.

She identifies 7 of the masters except fireman as constructs but they seem to be made from adamantine. The rumors Dr. Nick spoke of could be true; these could be robots enhanced with adamantine golem design pattern. She also detects a moderate conjuration aura from darkman’s null blade.

Zane casts haste and then flies 45 feet straight up.

Restlin casts timestop, activates his forcefield, casts resist energy, fly, greater invisible, summons an Astral Deva, summons a wall of ice, and summons a forcecage. When time resumes he flies up.

Garret appears behind Darkman and tears into the robot’s forcefield.

Wyarr checks for evil but Darkman does not seem to be evil. He also blesses his weapon.

The Deva attacks Darkman striking once, her hammer bounces off the forcefield doing less damage than it should have.

Rockman becomes imprisoned in the forcecage.

Rockman slams into the cage twice and attempts to punch it but misses. The forcecage takes 69 damage after subtracting hardness.

Scissorman uses a chainsaw to try to cut through the ice followed by 2 slams. He deals 177 damage to the wall of ice, smashing through.

Waterman creates more water puddles and then tries to move around the wall.

Leafman runs up to the wall and slams into it. (55 damage to the wall)

Darkman attacks the Deva with its null blade. The nullblade strikes the deva (39 vs AC; 31 damage after DR; Deva effected with dispel magic; dispel check was 28 so a CL 17th level effect on the deva is ended if any)

Iceman shoots Mega man with the zero rifle (47 vs AC; 10 cold damage) but Mega man shrugs off the cold damage.

Bomberman’s bombs explode in a strange + pattern, damaging Bosk and Beri for 22 damage. Bomberman then fires his grenade launcher, doing an additional 19 damage to Tink, Bosk, Beri, and Wyarr (DC 15 reflex for half). The grenade’s energy pulls at those hit; Tink and Beri are tripped and fall if they fail the reflex save.

Fireman lights Restlin on fire with a wave of his hand. He takes 4d6 damage a round until he can find some what to put it out (10 damage this round).

Megaman exchanges his pistol for his rocket launcher and fires a missile back at Iceman (58 damage to Iceman’s forcefield, while fireman and water man both take 20 damage to their forcefield from being partially caught in the blast.

Agatha fires another round from her emp rifle at bomberman, striking the robot and dealing 9 damage.

Garret laughs as he waves the quite loud chainsaw around. Seeing that it appears to be working against the robot, he keeps chopping and swinging with the thing.

Restlin wonders how firedude saw him even though he's invisible. Maybe he had some veemods built in?

Anyway, he presses his luck and tries to re-cast resist energy and succeeds (D20 = 12 - success). Then, gripping his quicken spell rod, he summons more help: a Lillend Azata. "A little mood music, if you'd be so kind?"

The Deva keeps up its attacks on Darkman.

Hit AC 42 for 24 damage
Hit AC 39 for 18 damage
Hit AC 23 - miss

If at least two of those attacks hit, it is stunned for 6 rounds unless it makes a DC27 fort save.

The Azata starts playing a catchy tune.

The druid takes a fraction of a second to look himself over, but he appears unscathed, between his blink and the blur from his Tishe's Weave it looks like Wardd had been watching out for the druid.

Realizing that combat has started while he was away somewhere, he quickly shakes the cobwebs out of his head, and the brain chip kicks in. Before he knows it he's in position and his rail gun rings out as a shell flies out of his gun and straight through Fireman and Iceman

Tink shrugs off the effects of the explosion even from 60ft in the air. She now follows Restlin's lead and casts TimeStop.

When finished there are a whole lot of summons in play. 4 Colossal Celestial T-Rexs, a Ghaele Azata, and for some reason extra Zane, Wyarr, Bosk and Garrets.

Garret continues to attack Darkman but the robot seems to be withstanding some of the damage and the forcefield is regenerating during battle

Zane shoots a rocket at Iceman also catching Fireman and Waterman partially in the blast

Restlin casts resist energy thanks to press his luck and then with the quicken rod summons more help. The Deva continues to attack Darkman hitting twice for less damage than it should (OOC: DR); the stunning has no effect on the construct

Beri hits Fireman and Iceman with his railgun after getting out of his funk

Bosk casts blade barrier but it doesn’t seem to effect the adamantine robots (Know[Arcana] DC: 34 Highlight to display spoiler: {} these robots are immune to magic that allows SR ecept for tranmute metal to wood which has a slowing effect)

Tink uses a timestop of her own to summon a bunch of monsters and illusionary doubles. Her first T-Rex bites Darkman, Her second one critically bites Darkman, disabling his forcefield but Darkman is not grappled. Her last T-rex bites and grapples fireman while her others miss. None of her tigers succeed in grappling a robot.

Sesha-dragon breathes flame down on Iceman but her 50 foot cone can also catch Fireman and Waterman. Iceman makes the save, Fireman and Waterman don’t. Sesha’s dragon flames melt Fireman’s and Iceman’s forcefields respectively

Rockman continues his assault on the forcecage (73 more damage).

Scissorman runs through the hole in the icewall and starts helping Rockman against the Forcecage slamming into it for 22 more damage

Leafman continues to slam into the Icewall also breaking through.

Waterman shoots Iceman with a dart and the robot appears to regenerate some while moving back since he got hit with some AOE’s due to the masters tight grouping.

Iceman shoots an Icy Ray at Sesha, she must make a DC 30 fort save or take 20 damage and become encased in ice unable to move. Because she’s flying if she fails she also takes 16 fall damage as she plummets to the ground

Darkman plunges himself into shadows gaining concealment.

Bomberman throws out more bombs around the forcecage

Fireman breaks the grapple.

(OOC: The Robots do not detect as evil)

Megaman fires another rocket at Iceman catching Fireman as well (59 damage to iceman, 29 to Fireman)

Agatha targets the space occupied by Scissorman with reverse gravity unfortunately Scissorman grabs onto the wrecked vehicle and stays on the ground.

HP Tracker:
Darkman, 97 damage (no more forcefield)
Iceman 92 damage (no more forcefield)
Fireman 141 damage (no more forcefield, grappled)
Iceman 146 damage (no more forcefield)

Restlin's glad his spells are buying time. Battlefield control used to be his thing, but as the power level of foes they were dealing with increased, it became less and less useful.

Still, time to hurt some robot masters. He gets an idea.

"Tink, could you please move that fake Bosk a bit to the NW for me, please?
OOC: I took the liberty of moving it - seriously hope you don't mind.

Restlin targets the fake Bosk with a maximized chain lightning spell. It does nothing to the hologram, but he's close enough to a bunch of Robot Masters.

The Deva keeps on beating Darkman.

Attack 1 - Nat 1
Attack 2 - Nat 20 (ha) - Threat confirm = 39. 20 damage - 62 if crit.
Attack 3 - Hit AC 33 for 24 damage

The Lillend maintains her song while moving a little bit away from those bombs.

Move: Fly a little bit away - Fly skill autopass
Standard: Maxmized chain lightning - 102 damage to Fake Bosk, Scissor Man, Rock Man, Dark Man, and Bomber Man. If those bombs can be targeted and look techy (as opposed to a big ball with a fuse or something), he'll target them too in hopes he can short out their electronics. Reflex DC 38 for half.

Beri looks around, but he can't get a line of sight on anyone... except a pile of bombs that now surround him.

Looks like I need to switch away from my gun for a little bit, maybe call in some friends to help, but it will need to wait a minute. How about a storm giant?

The druid transforms into an air elemental and flies out of the way, and above the blast radius of the bomb (I assume '45 is high enough but I can go higher).

Sesha roars and spews a small gout of flame, melting the ice ray. (Fort passed.) With some time to pass before her breath weapon is ready, she gets as close to as many of her enemies as she can, and casts Transmute Metal to Wood. She wasn't sure what it would do, but maybe it would mess with their parts.

(Fire Man, Ice Man, Leaf Man, and Water Man are affected, if it can affect them. The spell beats SR 42, if any applies. There is no saving throw vs the spell. ) She flew far enough up that Bosk should not be affected, though the cars on the street might.)

Bosk flies up until he has a clear view of the enemies and follows Zane's example, attempting to fire a rocket at his foes. Unfortunately his aim is not as good as Zane's, the rocket launcher being much more unwieldy that his cross bows were.

Fire at Iceman, unless dead or for some reason our of range. Then fire at most damaged enemy.

--------------------
Free action: Draw Lesser Quicken Rod

I'm unclear on what he's doing/done.

(OOC: Magic exists here it is just really rare; The evil Dr. obtained the golem manual needed to create adamantine golems and incorporated some of the designs into the robot masters; thusly creating a blending of tech and magic like a null blade)

Wyaar who is now flying sends a barrage of arrows at Bomberman. Only his second and rapid shot attacks hit but one strikes a vital area taking down Bomberman’s forcefield.

Garret continues to use the chainsaw against darkman and 2 of his attacks hit.

Zane fires another missile at iceman and fireman is partially affected

Restlin targets one of the illusions with chain lightning, the bolts arc between targets only to fizzle when reaching the masters (Know[Arcana] DC: 34 Highlight to display spoiler: { these robots are immune to magic that allows SR ecept for transmute metal to wood which has a slowing effect }) The deva keeps pounding away at Darkman managing to find him in his concealed state and striking a vital area.

Beri turns into an air elemental and gets some height.

Bosk curses as the masters ignore his spell. He then pulls out his own Rocket Launcher and starts firing it at Iceman striking the creature and partially getting fireman in the blast.

Sesha hits 4 of the masters with transmute metal to wood slowing them down.

Tink dispels Darkman’s shadow and her summons try to grapple some of the robot masters but none of them suceed. The Azata does hit Darkman for 39.

Iceman fires another icy ray at Sesha (DC 30 fort save or take 22 damage and become encased in ice unable to move; will also incur 17 falling damage)

Waterman tries to shoot Iceman with another dart but misses

Leafman hits fireman with a leaf shield encasing fireman in a swirling protective field of leaves

Darkman Sunders Garret’s chainsaw (59 vs CMD; 41 damage to chainsaw) destroying the weapon.

Rockman continues to wail on the forcecage (62 more damage total after subtracting hardness)

Scissorman also attacks the forcecage (84 more damage)

Fireman turns his flamethrower on the PC’s 30 feet up, hitting all three of them. Bosk is crit for 52 damage, Wyarr takes 22, and Restlin takes 30

Bomberman’s bombs detonate doing 54 damage to the forcecage. He fires a plasma grenade at Zane 45’ up. It detonates on contact and the explosion is big enough to hit Restlin as well. Zane takes 18 fire and 24 lightning damage (reflex 15 for half) while Restlin takes 13 fire and 18 lightning damage (reflex 15 for half).

Megaman fires another Rocket at Iceman and also partially catches Fireman destroying the leaf shield. (43 to Iceman; 22 to Fireman)

Agatha casts Acid Arrow at Scissorman (6 damage; persists 5 rounds)

Reflex check - pass (could only fail on nat1). Knowledge Arcana is autopass.

"Hey folks, that forcecage is about to give out. Get ready for more company."

Restlin's resist energy spells absorb 100% of the damage he had incoming, but that does little to improve his mood. Maybe someone tried to warn him that these Robot Masters were immune to magic and he didn't pay attention. He's been distracted lately.

Still, one had to make the best of things. Maybe there's something discarded nearby he can use in a pinch?

ooc: Bosk should be in the air, flying higher than the height of the wall per last post. Also, please let me know if I can flank with the holograms. If so, my attacks all get an additional +4d6 dmg.

Bosk grins as the flames rise up from his rocket launcher. That was FUN! Bosk then swings his newest toy, a large sized +3 adamatine mace of smiting at the huge leafy foe in front of him. At first his attacks are off as he adjusts to the weight of the implants, then suddenly the mace finds his foes face and he watches in fascination as the thing is destroyed outright. Did I Not Warn You? All Life Hangs By A Thread, I AM THAT THREAD!

If not, use a hero point to dimensional hop above Fake Wyaar and then full attack Scissor Man (Who is dead due to a confirmed crit with the Mace of Smiting and two natural 20's with no save).

"There! Right there! THAT is why those maces were worth the investment!" Tink gives a big thumbs up to Bosk. She considers going to make him invisible but thinks better of it "Pretty sure they have True Seeing or Life Sense or something like that. They're not going for the illusions"

Tink decides now is the time for a little heroics of her own. She summons the mental fortitude to recast a Timestop spell!

"Don't worry about the summons!" she lets the party know. They're expendable if it will knock off those masters.

------------------
Tink:
Use Hero Point to recast TimeStop. 1d4+1=5
- Rnd 1: Cast Summon Monster IX. Summon a Ghaele Azata
- Rnd 2: Cast Summon Monster V. Summon some Lantern Archons. 1d4+1=5!
- Rnd 3: Cast Summon Monster Vi. Summon some Lantern Archons. 1d4+1=5! These guys are weak, but still!
- Rnd 4: Cast Reverse Gravity around Rockman. 22 x 10ft cubes. Base=20x20ft Height=50ft. No Save. No SR.
- Rnd 5: Tink is running out of spells so instead catches her breath!

GA2:
Standard action: Take light form
Move action: fly 200ft upwards

The azatas and lantern archons put on a light show and shoot light rays at BomberMan. Forcefields don't block light. Light Rays bypass all DR.

Restlin informs the others that the forcecage is ready to give out. He looks around for something useful and his Lilend keeps playing while his Deva keeps smashing. Restlin’s eyes happen upon a small handheld device he identifies as a lighter. When activated it will produce the same amount of flame as a candle.

Garret informs Darkman that breaking the chainsaw wasn’t nice and proceeds to use his monk abilities to attack it.

Wyaar taps himself on the arm before sending more arrows at Bomberman hitting 3 times

Zane hits Iceman and Fireman partially with his rocket launcher. When the smoke clears Iceman is pretty beat up but still standing.

Bosk blinks out avoiding the fire before annihilating Leafman with his mace of smiting. After the blow all that remains where leafman once stood is strange looking Sonic Rifle that has the same styling as leafman did. Their might be more to this weapon than meets the eye.

Beri starts summoning a Storm Giant

Tink spawns a bunch of summons after congratulating Bosk on the kill. The touch attacks all hit. The Trex’s mostly miss, but one of them manages to crunch down on the weakened construct and finish it off.

Darkman sees what Bosk did and he charges the horn cleric provoking AOOs from Garret, The Deva, the tigers and the T-Rexes. 51 vs CMD; 71 vs 50% miss chance (Mace takes 7 damage; by my reckoning mace has hardness 30 and 93 hp) when he reaches Bosk he attacks the mace instead of the Taur. Luckily the mace is much stronger than a chainsaw being made from adamantine and will take more than a single attack to break

Rockman destroys the forcecage then attacks the illusionary Wyaar (79 damage to illusionary Wyaar)
Scissorman throws his boomascissors at Zane this time (63 vs AC; crit threat; 60 to confirm; 39 damage)

Iceman uses his freeze ray against Zane this time (DC 30 fort save or take 23 damage, be encased in ice unable to move and take 11 fall damage)

Waterman shoots a dart at Iceman healing the other master.

Fireman continues to focus the largest group of PC’s, in this case Zane and Beri floating 45’ up. Zane takes 30 and Beri takes 15.

Megaman draws his own nullblade and engages Darkman when he sees what the master is up to (13 damage to Darkman)

Agatha’s Acid continues to burn Scissorman while she casts Black Tentacles targeting a square near Rockman and Scissorman. The Robot Masters are not grappled by the field.

Darkman, 225 damage (no more forcefield)
Waterman 72 damage (no more forcefield) slowed = staggered, -1 AC, attack rolls, saves move ½ speed - 3 rounds
Fireman 180 damage (no more forcefield) slowed = staggered, -1 AC, attack rolls, saves move ½ speed - 3 rounds
Iceman 264 damage (no more forcefield) slowed = staggered, -1 AC, attack rolls, saves move ½ speed - 3 rounds
Bomberman 325 damage (no more forcefield)
Leafman slowed = Destroyed; Leafy Sonic Rifle dropped where Leafman stood
Scissorman 6 damage

Megaman: Regenned; no damage

The Deva whiffs the AoO - Nat 1.

Restlin shrugs and pockets the lighter. Creating flame wasn't something he ever had a problem doing, but maybe it would make a nice memento.

Then, the leaf dude drops a rifle. Restlin has no idea what a leaf-rifle does, but he figures he'll find out!

The Lillend keeps playing. The Deva gives chase and continues attacking Darkman.

Hit AC 33 - miss.

Sesha again shrugs off the freezing rays. Her fiery breath is ready again, so she spews flames over Ice Man, Dark Man, and Garret. She was pretty sure the nimble monk would be fine.

41 fire damage. DC 28 for half. (Or none with evasion.)

The Illusion People move about. Fake Zane next to Scissor Man, Fake Garret behind Ice Man, Fake Bosk to the center, and Fake Wyarr moving in closer to Rockman. Because of his attack Rockman can make a Will Save vs DC23 to realise the fake Wyarr is an illusion.

The Lanterns archons all close in on each other. Being in such close proximity and near the T-Rexs and Tiger gives Tink an opportunity.

She casts a haste spell to affect all of them!

The lantern archons then fly off towards fireman, whilst the T-Rex's split up. It's a tight fit but they make it around Tink's reverse gravity spell and the car.

The Ghaele Azata fly north to get in range of the Fireman and shoot the light beams.

None of the other summons get to attack.

Fireman gets to make an AoO on TI1 and TI2

Garrett gets in an AOO against Darkman and then dimension steps to attack again.

Restlin pockets the lighter and then goes over to the leafy rifle and picks it up. Aside from the normal functionality Restlin realizes the rifle can project a leaf field that grants DR25/fire

Wyaar focuses his arrows on Waterman hitting twice. (Bomberman was dead, rolled a d6 to determine new target)

Sesha breathes fire at Iceman and Darkman. Darkman dodges some of the flames.

Bosk flails around at Darkman hitting once.

Beri’s giant swing at Fireman but he can’t penetrate the thick armor of the robot. Beri then causes three of the robot masters to float into the air.

Zane resists the freeze and shoots a rocket at Ice man, destroying the robot. It’s weapon falls to the gorund.

Tink’s summons crowd around fireman, trying to get in attack range.

Darkman tries to damage Bosk’s blade again (44 vs CMD; 12 vs Blink) but swings down on the mace just as Bosk dematerializes.

Iceman targets Beri this time with his freeze ray. (DC 30 fort save or be incased in ice unable to move and take 20 damage

Waterman shoots another dart at Iceman but once again manages to miss his ally.

Rockman uses his power fist on mega-man the tentacles fail to grapple him as he runs up there. (19 damage)

Scissor man also moves up through the hole in the ice wall and tosses his booma scissors at Bosk but the scissors miss twice as Bosk was blinking both times.

Fireman bathed the massed summons in flames. Tiger 1, LA 9, 1, and 3 are outside of the cone, all the rest of Tink’s summons are hit. They take 29, 24, 51, 23, 20, 27, 30, 32, and 27 damage.

Megaman attacks Darkman with his nullblade again striking for 14 damage total.

Agatha’s acid does 6 more damage to Scissorman and she shoots a second one at Rockman hitting him for 7

Sounding like bubbles popping, 7 of the lantern archons return to wherever they came from, no match for the flames. The tiger is more resilient.

"Uh, Wyarr, that Waterman hasn't been attacking us and is quite far away. Scissorman has been doing some damage and is VERY close to Agatha. She might need some help or saving"

Restlin recovers the rifle, notices his proximity to scissor man and then dimension steps towards the grenade launcher while the Lilend keeps singing and the Deva keeps attacking Darkman. The Deva hits 3 times and destroys Darkman. A null blade is sticking up from the wreckage.

Wyaar sends a barrage of arrows at Waterman. He hits with rapid shot and hasted shot but that is enough to completely destroy the master leaving a dart gun in the wreckage

Garret goes to attack Darkman only to find the master already destroyed

Zane fires off a missile at Scissorman

Tink draws her emp pistol and gets closer to the action while her summons keep attacking

Beri starts summoning a second storm giant

Sesha casts Spectral Grasp

Bosk unloads on Scissorman hitting 3 times. (Are you invisible or something? Why are you getting sneak attack damage?)

Scissorman takes a 5 foot step and then attempts to attack Bosk with chainsaw and 2 slams (23 vs 100 miss; 73 vs 100 ; 70 vs 100; 51 + 54 - DR/10 = 91 damage total) The chainsaw misses but the robot slams into the horned cleric with the full weight of his body

Rockman also attacks Bosk with its power fist as well as 2 slams. The power fist hits (63, 77, 14) as does one slam (46 vs AC, 35 vs AC; 55 damage + 35 (10 electric; 25 bludgeoning) - DR 10 - resist electric 10 = 45 + 15 = 60 more damage)

Fireman tries to focus fire with his fellow robot masters but misses due to Bosk’s blinking.

Megaman attacks Scissorman with his null blade and a slam missing both times

Agatha gets some distance from Scissorman taking a full round withdrawal while her acid keeps eating away at Rockman and Scissorman.

ooc: Flanking with Beri for sneak attack on enemy. Blinking to provide a miss chance

Bosk feels his body weaken as the onslaught is directed towards him and blood pours forth. He knows he should be dead, but for by the grace of Gargul and his staff of the Unblinking Eye (grants Contingency, currently set up to cast CCW when Bosk's HP drops below 25%). As his wounds knit back together he swings his weapons as hard as he can, landing at least one solid hit (a natural 20 with each weapon). YOU SHALL DIE TODAY! he bellows as the mace strikes home, and gods willing destroys the rockman.

Bosk then uses another hero point to dark walk into the realm of shadows where he can heal himself. (If I am not allowed to, I could really use some healing.

Full Attack Rock Man

Garret picks up the nullblade. Besides functioning like a standard null blade it can also cause an object or creature to be covered in magical darkness extending 20 feet. He then moves towards fireman.

Restlin picks up the dropped grenade launcher. Besides functioning like an ordinary grenade launcher it can instead fire 3 bombs that explode after 1 round in a + doing 6d6 damage. The lilend keeps playing while the Deva steps forward and hits Scissorman. Scissorman gets an AOO vs the Deva and hits (52 vs AC; 24 damage after DR applied)

Wyaar targets Rockman now hitting him 4 times.

Zane misses Scissorman with his rocket launcher but Scissorman is still in the range of the blast but he dodges some of it.

Bosk’s contingency wears into effect and he counters the savage blows he’s sustained from the masters with one of his own at Rockman destroying the creature and leaving a powered gauntlet (reskinned stunned baton) where he once stood. Bosk then heroically escapes into the realm of shadows.

Beri keeps an eye peeled for new threats while the Giants attack Fireman destroying him and leaving behind a plasma thrower.

Tink sends her summons to soak bombs and watch for incoming enemies.

Scissorman seeing his brothers destroyed throws his boomascissors at the Deva ( and then starts taking off himself (67 vs AC crit threat, 57 confirms; 48 damage to Deva; bypasses DR)

Megaman runs after ScIssorman, taking a pot shot with his missile launcher

Agatha casts a cure spell on herself.

Beri and Tink’s summons spots 4 swarms of tiny iron dragons inbound. It looks like the cyberhawks could not keep the robots occupied any longer.

Restlin's eyes widen. Another swarm. Those blasted pteranadons were the toughest thing the Iron Dragons have ever fought. Five elder chromatic dragons? Whatever. One thousand pteranadons? That was brown trousers time.

Anyway, he is way too close to them. He's still invisible, which he hopes mean something. He flies as far away as he's able back towards his friends. His everyone's friend benefits should hit a lot more of them now.

The Deva takes a moment to heal up (casts heal - back to full health).

The Lillend keeps on rockin'.

Beri calls out to the storm giants and lets them know of the oncoming swarms.

The, remembering that Bomber Man's weapons was usually advanced, and fearing he may need more firepower coming up, he flies over to the Plasma Thrower, transforms, and picks it up.

Bosk takes a moment to wipe the blood from his hands and basks in the cooling nothingness of the shadows and the safety found between realms. Knowing it cannot last he begins to cast a cure spell until he recalls he has a heal scroll. Good as new he thinks to himself.

Quietly he plans his next move as he views the physical realm, knowing he will have to return in a matter of seconds.

Tink directs her summons to focus their attacks on whichever swarm the rest of the party are going after. Best to focus on one of these at a time.

Wyaar destroys the last Robot Master

Sesha casts a defensive spell.

Garret hops on a wreck swinging his null blade ready for the incoming swarms

Restlin flies back towards his friends as the Deva heals and the Lilend keeps playing

Zane fires a rocket (OOC: The swarms are 20 feet up and rising) so they are caught in the blast but between their resistances, the fact they made the save and their DR they take little damage

Beri picks up the plasma thrower and then tells his giants about the swarms. They cast chain lightning. The first spell fizzles on the swarms spell resistance while the second is partially avoided by the 3 swarms it hits

Bosk plans his next move after healing.

Tink casts repulsion and her summons attack (can’t get within 5 feet? Did you mean 50?)

Swarm A moves up and lets loose a 100 ft line of flame targeting both storm giants and Beri (48 fire; DC 24 reflex half)

Swarm B moves up and does the same targeting Zane and Beri (55 fire damage; DC 24 for half)

Swarm C does the same targetting Zane and Storm Giant 2 (44 fire damage; DC 24 half)
Swarm D also does this targeting Zane, Storm Giant 1, Wyaar and Sesha (45 fire damage; DC 24 for half)

Megaman moves up and fires a missile at swarm B (41 damage)

Agatha casts fireball targetting the space between Swarm A and B. Swarm A is not damaged between its resistances and dodging, swarm B takes some damage after resistance

Swarm A: 36
Swarm B:101
Swarm C: 20
Swarm D: 18

Megaman:19 damage

A fireball would be handy, but that spell wasn't in the cards today. He moves to position and lets loose a maximized cone of cold, hitting swarms A-C.

Restlin casts cone of cold getting A, B and C after the spell resolves the swarms explode each in a 20 foot radius. Swarm A effects no one. Swarm B effects Storm Giant B dealing 54 points of slashing and 43 points of fire (DC 22 Reflex for half) Swarm C effects both Giants dealing 52 points of fire and 52 points of slashing (DC 22 Reflex for half)

Garret fires his EMP rifle at D.

Wyaar evades the fire (OOC: The iron dragons in the swarm are tiny)

Zane fires a rocket at the last remaining swarm before heroically moving across the battle field

Beri uses the plasma thrower against Swarm D while Giant 2 attacks it as well. Although 2 of the attacks hit they don’t do much damage.

Sesha is unfazed by the fire being a red dragon. She starts summoning her greater immortal ally.

Tink manages not to shoot herself in the foot. Her summons attack and damage the final swarm.

The sole remaining Swarm moves up to where Beri is. He takes 27 damage from their swarm attack. (OOC: Swarm attacks auto hit when sharing space)

Megaman switches to his pistol moves a little and attacks Swarm D but the attack passes through the swarm w/o doing anything.

Agatha uses 2 4th level Witches slots to cast another fireball hitting a corner of the swarm but not Beri. The swarm takes 27 more fire damage

Restlin raises both hands in the air and whoops! Then, he does a little dance, kisses two of his fingers, and lifts them to the sky in thanks.

I mean, Wardd's not up there. We're in a different dimension. Still seems appropriate, though.

That said, he's out of AoE spells, plus Beri's in there. He has a gravity grenade, but that swarm's way up there and Restlin's arms are kinda noodly. Plus, the timing would be tricky. He figures his friends can handle the last swarm without him and saves his spells. He flies up as fast as he's able and uses his veemod goggles to get a 360' view of the area, seeing if anything else is incoming.

The Lillend keeps on rockin'.

The Deva creates another burst of holy energy on swarm D.

Beri finds that the swarm has completely enveoloped him, making it impossible for him to escape their attack. All around him he hears weapons and spells echoing against the beating wings of the swarm, but it's hard to make sense of the chaos about him. The good thing about a swarm, however, is that you don't need to make sense of it. He raises his plasmathrower, aims to the west where none of his companions were standing, and fires into the swarm.

Wyaar fires 6 arrows into the swarm and 5 of them hit. He sees they do less damage than they should (Know Arcana 34 : DR overcome by chaotic aligned weapon) but he still does enough damage causing the swarm to explode with Beri inside of it. (37 slashing + 34 fire damage DC 22 reflex save for half)

Restlin lets out a whoop and then looks about for anything interesting. Waterman’s Dart Gun, IceMan’s Zero Rifle, and Scissorman’s chainsaw all remain on the battle field. Additionally Restlin also spots a belt on the ground. He has no clue how the belt got there and it is certainly a lucky find for him to have spotted it (Spellcraft DC 31 Highlight to display spoiler: { Belt of Physical Might +4 keyed to Con and Dex })

Garret was going to fire his EMP rifle into the swarm but it is destroyed.

Zane says he is going to take off after the runner but there is no runner as Wyaar destroyed it before it got far. Zane can retrieve a pretty sweet chainsaw though

Beri was about to bring his plasma thrower to bear on the swarm but it is dead

Sesha sees Myrth appear and gives her orders before turning Beri invisible

Bosk picks up the power fist (OOC : It functions like a reskinned stun baton that deals (2d8 electric + 2d8 bludgeoning + Str / x2 plus target must succeed on a fort save vs 10 + damage dealt or be staggered for one rounds and has the additional ability to generate a solid wall of stone 1 foot thick and 10 feet wide.

Zane chases after Sciscorman but finds Wyarr’s arrows already finished the robot master. He does retrieve the chainsaw though.

Tink has her summons fan out and watch for threats

Restlin swoops down and grabs the neat belt he found, snapping it on and welcoming his previously lost dexterity and constitution back.

"Ok, folks. What's next? Where's the Dr. Whatshisface?" He turns to Megaman. "So, you the only one of your kind? Sure your creator didn't make a model before you we have to worry about? Some sort of prototype-man?"

Beri Thanks the Storm Giants for their service and asks them to keep an eye out for a surprise attack for the duration of the spell. He finds a spot by the group that will provide some defensive cover.

We should heal in case we aren't in the clear yet. Would these robot bodies now be inert, or do they still pose any danger to us?

Tink keeps her summons on high alert, but for now she is happy to let her guard down. Just for a moment. She deactivates the hologram projector.

Tink lowers herself down to hover just above the ground and fires a few shots from her EMP pistol at one of the robots just to make sure it doesn't move. Also to prove to herself that she actually CAN hit something with it.

"Can any of those materials be of use?" Still invisible Tink looks over the husks to see if any of the scrap metal can be recovered to perhaps use to build something else in the future.

She then has a chat with the others over the link "They knew we were going to be here. It's possible those robots were following Megaman. They may also have some method of tracking him remotely. The alternative is that someone may have set us up."

Tink turns on the Signal Jammer in case anything is transmitting to or from the robots or Megaman.

Not seeing any enemies, Bosk quickly runs around and collects any weapons that are still left and searches the bodies. He then pulls out his Stuff off Corpse Retrieval and collects souvenirs form the enemies corpses and places then in special reliquaries (aka potential spell components in specially made holy symbols).

Garret turns over the EMP rifle in his hands before picking up the null blade and looking at it too. He misses his chainsaw but remembers scissor man dropped a chainsaw of his own.

Restlin swoops down and grabs the belt. He then asks where the villain is at and if megaman is the only one of his kind or if there might be a prototype man out there.

Zane goes through his katas to calm down post battle and says something poignant but aloof.

Sesha appreciates Zane’s Zaney-ness

Beri thanks the giants and ask them to keep watch finding a covered location and advocates healing in case there are other things out there

Tink keeps her summons high alert while she deactivates the hologram projector. She fires a few rounds from her emp pistol into one of the robot corpses and then raises the possibility Megaman was followed / tracked or they were betrayed. She also turns on her signal jammer. She also says they should buy more maces.

Wyaar winces as the swarm explodes around Beri but is happy the swarm is gone.

Bosk runs around collecting the rest of the weapons, he gets a dartgun that can create puddles of water that explode when touched dealing 4d6 frost damage and putting out any fires. The dart gun appears to be loaded with green healing nanite darts. He also picks up a zero rifle that besides functioning like a normal zero rifle can fire a freeze ray that encases someone in Ice and deals 6d6 cold damage (DC 30 fort save negates). Lastly he picks up a chainsaw that can be thrown in a boomeranging fashion allowing a second attack roll if the first one misses, does 4d8 damage that ignores all DRs.

Megaman says to Restlin, “I’m the only one of my kind. As far as Dr. Henrichzimmerschneit goes he’s most likely in his fortress lair.”

Megaman says to Beri, “The masters are destroyed. They won’t be hurting anyone ever again. Everyone should claim one of their weapons; they’ll be useful for the fight ahead.”

Restlin has the grenade launcher and leaf rifle already. Seems greedy to take more. If someone would rather have one of them, he'll gladly give it.

He does check out the leaf-rifle better, though. Just how does it work? Is the shield persistent? Does it also have any offensive capabilities?

A conundrum begins to form in Restlin's head. How can they, in good conscious, ask Megaman to sacrifice himself for their world? Sure they were risking their lives for his, but there was a pretty good chance they could overcome this and live.

They had a job to do now, but he knew decision time would come. He wasn't looking forward to it.

"You've already seen how utterly horrible my aim is when it comes to hitting an enemy. None of those offensive weapons would be of any benefit to the group in my hands.

(OOC: There is only 1 chainsaw)

Garret goes to pick up the chainsaw only to find Bosk already has it. He asks Bosk for the chainsaw. (OOC: Remember you can boomerang throw this one for 4d8 damage (ignore DR) and a second attack if the first one misses)

Restlin takes stock of his grenade launcher and leaf sonic rifle. He sees that the projected DR field is dismissible or it lasts until the subject takes fire damage. The conundrum of what they want to do with Megaman weighs heavily on his thoughts.

Wyaar claims whichever weapon Restlin doesn’t want

Tink claims the dart gun and mentions the half million gold scrap pile

Zane forgoes taking any weapons

Beri asks if anyone else wants the plasma thrower considering he has the railgun. He realizes the thrower can target an individual and set them ablaze dealing 466 points of damage per round (stacking up to 4x)

Bosk hands the chainsaw to Garret.

The rest of the Lazerhawks rejoin the party now that all of the tiny robots are eliminated. Lazer Hawk himself looks at the fallen Robot Masters, the weapons the Iron Dragon’s how wield, and seems very impressed. ”Truly I thought we were dead there. 8 robot masters defeated simultaneously? This is unheard off. We must strike at Dr. Henrichzimmerschneit now while they are dead. He can and has built replacement masters before so we shouldn’t give him time to do so.”

He looks back at his men, all of whom are suffering from various injuries and many seem to be holding damaged weapons or be out of ammo. ”I’m afraid the task falls to you. The fight took it’s toll on my men and we are hardly fit to engage in another so quickly. Good luck to you all.”

MegaMan, how long do we have before more robots can be made? I don't think we should delay, but I would like to know if we should expect more masters when we get there or if he should be depleted of them if we leave now.

Tink nods. Bosk's question is a really good one! She's unfamiliar with these weapons so really doesn't know when they would stop working.

The part about the Dr building replacement robots isn't good news. They might be stronger and better armed next time. That is reason for concern.

Garret asks which way to the evil Doctor.

Restlin hands the bombmaking gun to Wyaar and then asks if the canister he found heals.

Wyaar takes the grenade launcher and then gathers everyone around for a healing channel

Zane asks how far to the base so he can plan ahead. He also offers to make Garret tiny.

Beri says to heal away pending confirmation. He then asks how long before the masters can be replaced

Sesha offers to start healing

Bosk asks how many rounds the weapons have or what the recharge rate is

Tink likes Bosk’s question and is concerned about bigger, stronger robot masters being created.

Lazerhawk thanks for the channeling then says, “Our ammo is depleted and our bikes are damaged. We should be able to just limp back to the hideout. Truth be told we gave you the best we had because we thought you were our best chance. I don’t think we are mistaken.”

He also says, “That looks like green healing nanites to me.” in response to the canister question.

He then says, “The Doctor’s lair is probably a good 2 days ride on a fully functioning bike North by North West. Our bikes are in no shape to make it there but when your friend flew he had no trouble keeping up. I know Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man can fly or run fast so he should have no trouble keeping up either”

Megaman says, “The evil Doctor has many robots but only 8 masters. It took him awhile to create them. I doubt they can be easily replaced. The Doctor’s robot armies are spread out so it might take a little time for them to mobilize. I imagine he’ll want to move some troops home before long to make up for the loss of the masters. We prolly have a narrow window before this happens.”

Megaman examines the nearest master’s weapon. “Interesting,” he says as he takes a look at it, “Well it seems that it won’t run out of ammo, but you can only take a single shot a round or use the alternate special ability. Even though the masters are defeated it would appear the weapons still function like integrated weapons despite no longer being attached to a robot. I wonder if I could integrate with one of these weapons, that is if you aren’t using them all. Seems a shame to let one of these go to waste considering there are 8 of them and 8 of you”

(OOC: Yes I meant 4d6 not 466)

Is there anything else you want to do here before going your separate ways from the cyber hawks and presumably start the journey to the evil lair?

Restlin uses his giant brain to remember what green nanites do. "These things can bring back the recently dead, just like Sesha can." He tucks it back away. "Probably best to save that for Wyarr when he gets himself killed."

As for transportation, Restlin still doesn't have overland flight prepared. Maybe he can try it anyway?

I can also fly in my air elemental form. And I think that if we have a Master's weapon not being used we should definitely let Mega Man use it.

What does your intel say we should expect from the Dr.'s lair? Are we expecting to fight and navigate our way through multiple rooms and hallways, or are we expecting to immediately have the full force of the Dr. and any remaining robots welcoming us the moment we are spotted? And are we expecting to be shooting in a cramped hallway, or a large open area when we find the Dr.?

Garret says he’s ready to go and in response to the tiny question asserts he is small enough.

Restlin pockets the nanites and then pushes his luck to try to cast overland flight since he didn’t have it prepared. He fails and takes -4 on all skill checks for 1 min

Wyaar asks if one of the magicky types can teleport them there or closer

Zane offers to carry 3 people other than Bosk if they are flying but reiterates that teleportation is beyond him.

Beri says he can fly in his air elemental form and weighs in that they should give a master weapon to megaman if they aren’t all being used. He then asks what they can expect at the lair

Bosk reveals he doesn’t have the right spells prepared but offers to cast some Avenger spells to learn more about the Doctor.

Tink says she also doesn’t have teleport prepared. She looks at a bike wondering if she can fix it, but the technology is to alien for her to figure out in such a short time. She doesn't even know what many of the parts are much less how they work! Maybe after a few months of study with a local mechanic she could become an expert but for now she won't be jury rigging any motorcycles.

Agatha breaks her silence, “I know overland flight, find the path, wind walk and greater teleport I can also bring 4 medium or smaller people when I teleport or 2 large people or 1 large and 2 medium but I don’t have greater teleport prepared today. I can bring 4 people if I wind walk and I could cast it 3 times today. Unfortunately overland flight is personal. But if Beriothian turns into an air elemental, Megaman flies himself, I use wind walk to take 4 of you with me and Zane carries the rest we could at least start our journey today. I can use find the path to maybe shorten our journey, we camp someplace tonight and tomorrow we teleport the rest of the way. I’ll just have to make multiple trips and use up all my wizard 7th level spells along with my arcane bond but it should get us there sooner. I think though my guild might expect some payment for my services and you do seem to have quite a bit of interesting scrap metal Sprocket and I could probably put some of it to good use.

And I can also hit Garret with it and he won't even count hardly for teleporting.

"I have 3 uses of Teleport left on my boots. I also know Wind Walk and can cast it at a more than high enough level to catch us all in it when its time. Just remember, it isn't a spell for fighting."

She thinks about the weapons.

"Could we also take a second to list out what we know about all the gathered Master Weapons?"

"I have a greater teleport spell prepared and can bring along 5 of you. If Agatha can grab the other two of us and Megaman, we can make it work. We just need to know all we can about our destination to make sure we're in the right place. That's a much better idea that flying." He nods to acknowledge Wyarr having a good idea.

He inspects the bike with Tink. "I'm torn," he starts in a voice only she can hear. "This is all so much more complex than just casting a spell, but anyone can use it. Imagine a Hook City built on technology rather than magic. Would there still be such a glaring class hierarchy if magical aptitude wasn't a requirement?" He looks up, and remembers he's in a post apocalyptic wasteland. "On second thought, maybe we're the ones who got it right. This isn't a world I'd want to live in."

Restlin takes out the leaf rifle he picked up and puts it on the...whatever you call the big, flat-ish surface of these four wheeled vehicles is. "It makes a fancy leaf shield. I think it also shoots out stuff that hurts." He experiments with it a bit, aiming at a distant vehicle and seeing what the rifle can do besides make a personal shield.

Beri ponders Restlin's class hierarchy question
I would think it would just further the divide. Most who dedicated their free time to the task could learn the magical arts in our world. But I get the impression that the average person couldn't build their own flying bike or plasma thrower. Having a flying bike that anyone could use doesn't do much good if it would take you multiple lifetimes to be able to afford one. The real question is whether half the wold is stuck without magic AND without technology, or wither the entire world is blessed with these gifts... of course, this world is pretty much a ruined wasteland at this point, so perhaps it's a moot point.

Bosk scratches his head. What you said might be true in Hook City, the most magical city in the Wold, but I do not think just anyone can learn magic. It is a gift granted by a greater power.... And some simply are not chosen.

Ooc: Commoners do not typically have magic. My interpretation is that heroes have magic. It is only for those called to it.

Tink's vest has provided her with a 60ft fly speed if that is the way the party are going.

She isn't very happy though. Demanding payment for casting spells to help move the party towards their destination? This is why she doesn't like the guild OR Agatha.

"The guild probably won't mind about the payment, especially if they didn't know about it. Besides, we have cast many spells the past day to protect you. It wouldn't serve either of us to start charging for services wouldn't you agree?"

Diplomacy: 36

Zane points out he can make him and Bosk smaller if need be to make teleporting easier. He also advocates getting away from the area.

Sesha takes stock of her relevant magicks and then suggests they take stock of the master weapons.

Restlin goes all philosophical regarding a Hook City built on technology instead of magic before reminding himself he’s in a wasteland. He says his leafy rifle can project a leaf shield (DR/25 fire) that will go away when attacked with flames or function like a sonic rifle that does 3d8.

Garret chimes in he is ready to go

Wyaar is happy they are using his idea and also states he is ready

Beri suggests that if there was a tech based Hook City the divide would most likely be furthered. He also explains what the plasma thrower can do.

Sesha suggests bringing some votary clerics here

Tink is annoyed by Agatha’s request for payment. She makes a case against the idea. Agatha doesn’t seemed impressed. ”Fine. As a member of this adventuring party I hereby claim the scrap as my share of the loot. It sounds so much better when I phrase it as killing and looting then as payment for services rendered doesn’t it?”

To Recap you have:
Plasma Thrower (Functions like plasma thrower dealing 6d8 damage ½ fire + ½ electric in AOO effect or can burn indivifuals for 4d6 damage per round stackable up to 4x
Leaf sonic rifle either does DR25/fire or 3d8 damage as a sonic rifle
Null blade that can project darkness in a 20 foot radius and grant concealment
Zero rifle that either does 3d8 cold or is capable of potentially freezeing the target in ice doing 6d5 damage
A Grenade launcher that doubles as a bomb dispensor
A powerfist that allows a foot of stone to be shaped as need be
A dartgun filled with green healing nanites that can make splash bombs
A chainsaw that can be thrown in a boomeranging fashion to allow a second chance

Agatha says, “I can help teleport” to Restlin.

Restlin shrugs. Agatha did join in the fight and was entitled to some of the loot. He views this as a reminder of why he dislikes the Star Mages and moves on.

"Ok, Lazerhawks, tell us all you can about this hideout so our magic can find it..."

Once that's done, he divides those going between himself and Agatha, then teleports his folks to Dr. Whatshisface's hideout.

"If the guild requires payment in order to help save the Wold then perhaps you may wish to reconsider if the organization is worthy of your membership, Agatha." Wyaar says towards the Star Mage, "you, of course, are welcome to your share of anything we find in reward for your efforts. if that is not enough you may have mine as well. i do not do this for gain."

"Precisely" Tink nods to Wyarr "Claiming a share of the rewards of battle is the common and agreed practice to recognize the efforts you made. To demand payment for helping the group progress towards its goal is not honorable"

"I tried to put it nicely Agatha but since you wish to be snippy about it, no, extortion does not sound better. If you are not going to be an equal member of the group and work together in and out of combat, then use your teleport spell to go back to the cyberhawk base and wait for us to return."

Tink wastes no more words or time with Agatha and instead prepares for what may lie ahead. "I'd still like the dart gun if noone else does. If we are teleporting, lets aim for close enough to walk the rest of the way. Taking a chance to prep and regain spells would be wise if we are to face more robots in addition to the Dr guy"

Restlin shrugs and asks the cyberhawks to tell them about the hideout. He then divides his friends into groups.

Zane makes himself and Bosk medium size (OOC: Can Bosk be affected by reduce person still being he is an outsider)

Garret plays with his new chainsaw while the adults are talking

Sesha claims the weapon that can either shoot sonic bursts or leaf shields

Wyaar and Tink each talk to Agatha about the whole Star Mage payment thing in their own ways. Tink claims the Dart Gun and says she favors getting close enough to walk the rest of the way taking time to renew spells first

Beri keeps the plasma thrower and then asks for tactical advice.

Restlin hands out the dart gun and the leaf gun leaving him without a master weapon temporarily (OOC: there is still the null blade and the freeze ray; Garret has the chainsaw, Bosk has the power fist, Beri the plasma thrower, Sesha the sonic rifle, Tink the dart gun and Wyaar has the grenade launcher)

Bosk asks about the enemy forces

One of the Cyberhawks pulls up a propaganda film on the fortress and you can see it looks pretty imposing; a veritable metallic citadel.

Megaman brings up the fact that the Doctor’s brain is inside of the toughest annihilator bodies ever made.

He also brings up the fact that security changes at the citadel quite frequently per the doc so it is hard to say what may be waiting. He does bring up the fact that one of the masters had a null blade and the masters themselves were enhanced with adamantine golem schematics so the Doctors forces have to have some magical expertise at least for crafting.

(OOC: You guys teleporting directly or are you going w/in walking distance and will rest first?)

"It's pretty unlikely Dr. Whatshisface's lair is warded against teleportation." Does that video show his...throne room, or whatever?

Well, if it's warded against teleportation we will just walk the last stretch. The real question is whether we should try teleporting at all, once we do there is no going back. Since you mentioned security changes, does that mean it's defenses are more mobile? Or, more to the point, if we bypass any patrols and defenses outdoors by teleporting in would their command structure dictate that they continue to defend the outer wall, or would any we bypass run in after us giving us a two front attack to worry about?

Tink winces just a little. It sure would be nice to have a chance to regain all those lost spells. She doesn't have the luxury that the front-liners do. She needs to rest in-between stints to be at full effectiveness. Worse still, most of her spells are ineffective against adamantine constructs. Her best bet are her summons and she has used a number of those up.

If this was just the welcoming committee then what lies ahead will no doubt be worse.

Garret asks about the number of null blades

Restlin picks up the freeze ray (or is it more of an ice beam?) and then stipulates that the lair is not warded against teleportation before asking about a throne room.

Beri asks if they should try to teleport at all and what the rotating security scheme means

Zane reminds the others he has a brilliant energy weapon

Bosk thinks direct teleportation is the best.

Tink is worried about not being able to rest

Wyarr is ready to go but is willing to wait if the casters need to rest.

Megaman says to Restlin, “It shows the hangar where the bad Doctor’s robot body is stored.”

Megaman says to Beri, “I am not sure what his forces will do.”

Megaman says to Zane, “Does that one ignore non-living matter? If so I don’t see what it will do against robots.”

Garret listens to Megaman and says, "Wait, there's a hanger where the body might be separated from the brain? I think we should go right there and maybe we'll be able to smash the body before the brain gets it moving." He revs the chainsaw for emphasis.

"Yes please. Just a quick rest overnight to regain spells" Tink is a little relieved that quite a few of the ID want to rest for a spell (pun intended). Whether it is before or after teleport she's fine. Before would be preferable, but since the group have agreed to the rest she's happy to go either way on this.

"Bosk has done really well with that mace so perhaps it might be best someone else takes the null blade? Any takers?"

Garret asks if the hangar means the robot body is separated from the brain

Zane asks if the brain is still alive meaning the blade would work against it

Wyaar suggests they teleport somewhere safe to rest before teleporting in.

Restlin has plenty of spells so he's ready to go but if Tink needs to rest he's ok delaying

Sesha is also ready and is more worried about the brain itself than its body

Beri is confused about the journey length.

Tink says yes rest.

Megaman says to Garret, "The brain is inside the robot body but the fortress has normal sized corridors considering the Doctor took it over from a government defense force predating his ascendancy. The robot body is so massive that he rules from inside the hangar so it functions as a throne room but it is still a hangar. "

Megaman says to Zane, "How far does that blade reach? The brain is pretty fortified and located deep inside that thing so even if it ignores non living material you'd still have to get it there right?"

Agatha says to Beri, "I only suggested going the part of the way their by flight as I do not have enough teleports for everyone but if Restlin covers the rest I can activate my arcane bonded item to produce a single greater teleport."

The party rests and prepares for the upcoming battle. Come morning they gather in preparation for the teleports. ”Be ready the moment we arrive.” Megaman warns. ”This is the heart of the enemy and they will not sit idly by.”

Bosk is about to speak when he recalls the talking box. Suddenly he puts a finger to his lips to silence everyone as he speaks. The vision said that we must not rush. A wandering stranger would show is the way to Midas Strength, and only then would we be able to manipulate the current that drives the enemy. I see no way we can expect to find the wanderer if we teleport. We need to travel on foot until that time.... Better if we continue this conversation away from prying ears. You never know who might be listening.

Bosk hopes that the others understand enough to ignore his gibbering message and that the group can discuss this in a private sanctum. He also tried to drop a free hints to the others by pulling out the Shell focus for his scrying spells, hinting at what he is afraid of.

Beri can tell Bosk is spouting nonsense, but he can't quite tell where he's going with all this. Still, he always pushes to have a well formed plan before heading into danger so he figures it's best to go along with Bosk and see what he's come up with.

Beri makes sure to have blink enabled prior to teleporting. He asks if anyone has any druid spell requests.

Bosk tries to convey a hidden message to the group and pulls out the tools for scrying (OOC: roll bluff vs DC: 15; I’ll give you a +2 circumstance bonus for pulling out scry tools)

Tink points out that Megaman could be who Bosk is talking about.

Wyarr casts various buffs.

Restlin points out they can always look for him after the fight and selects spells at random.

Garret is ready to go but waits when Bosks speaks

Zane says they’d better get going however they are getting there.

Sesha wonders what harm there might be in walking to the enemy fortress.

Beri agrees to see what Bosk is talking about.

Megaman looks at them curiously as Bosk spouts his nonsense. He thinks a few moments before answering Sesha’s question. ”Dr. Henrichzimmerschneit has many servants but none as fierce as the Robot masters. The main risk of delay is that it gives him time to recall and regroup his forces until he has an overwhelming number to throw at us even if they no threat individually.”

Agatha and Megaman then give the dragons privacy for their discussion.

Beri asks for Bosk’s thoughts and then agrees to rest

Bosk explains that he was just trying to confuse anyone scrying them. He has at least succeeded in the confusion part!

Garret gets ready and lets his mind wander.

Zane mentions breakfast. Garret immediately starts paying attention again.

The Dragons rest and recover their spells. Megaman tells the group as much as he can about the hanger in Dr. Henrichzimmerschneit’s fortress. He’d only been there once and he described it as a large open area bare of any furnishings other than the robot body. There is some worry on if the description is accurate enough or if anything has changed to throw off the spell, but they forge ahead.

Gathering close the large party members are shrunk and the teleport cast (I assume you time it so you unshrink 1 round after the teleport as previously discussed). Everything goes dark before they find themselves in a new place. It pretty much fits Megaman’s description; a wide open space devoid of many features other than a great statue of the tyrant. That is, except for one thing.

A pair of small, flying robots are trying to hang a sign. It proclaims “WELCOME MEGAMAN (and guests)” in all caps with pictures of confetti surrounding the words. The robots notice you and start in alarm before flying off, leaving the sign hanging only on one side so that it droops down to touch the top of the imposing robot.

”MEGAMAN! a voice booms over loudspeakers above. ”Oh my you’re much earlier than expected! I was going to throw you a party with balloons and music!. Shame on you for ruining my wonderful surprise!” The voice sounds rather disappointed, like a father whose son ruined a birthday surprise.

And you brought your friends! Your strange new friends! They were very impressive against my masters, I so look forward to dissecting their brains I bet I could make wonderful new masters based of them.” Now he sounds downright estatic, a jovial uncle beaming down at his favorite cousins.

”Now despite you’re early arrival I believe I can accommodate you. Just do me one smaaaaall favor if you would. Die quickly so I can get to the dissection part. I really, really am looking forward to it.”

The robot promptly attacks.

It’s chaingun sprays hot metal all over the party; everyone is targeted. Garret manages to evade, everyone else is hit.

Tink takes 46

Restlin is crit for 134

Wyarr is hit for 39

Zane is hit for 32

Beri is hit for 48 (I did roll for blink, your gargul divit, and he has a special to ignore your blur)

Bosk blinks out of existence just in time to dodge

Sesha is hit for 49

The giant robot scorpion then shoots some strange, dark projectile. It floats a little bit over their heads and suddenly everything goes wonky. They’re pulled towards the center of the effect and end up clumped in a little ball (reflex save DC 30 to avoid.)

Restlin is nearly torn to pieces.

"That. Sucked," wheezes Restlin through their rings. Sesha's healing helps a bunch, but he sees her (and maybe others) get sucked into the gravity well. He avoids the effect himself (save 34), but allows himself to move closer. "Anyone that gets sucked in, grab my hand!" He grabs Sesha's hand, and allows anyone else who needs help hold on as well, then uses his dimension step ability to get them out of danger.

Move: None
Standard: Readied action - once everyone who fails their save vs the gravity ball has a chance to grab him, Restin uses Dimensional Step and poofs away.

Zane declares The Doctor as target of the Smite Evil from Wyaar.
Zane lets his inner dragon out. (cast Form of the Dragon 2)
Since Restlin has emergency rescue duty, He launches himself at the Doctor with Haste and normal movement,(Assuming Gargantuan (tall)) Zane circles wide around and stops with 15' between himself and the Doctor, which shouldn't provoke an AoO and next round he'll un-reduce and will grow in size ending up 5' closer as well as 5' more into flanking the Doctor and still not provoking an AoO from it. Zane has 120' of flight (ending position keeping 20' between himself and the Doctor while moving is same row with 15' between Zane and The Dr, on the side away from the group.)

Over the Rings, "I'll provide the Anvil on the back side for you to pound him against, in just a moment, I had to circle well away from him, he makes even me look small."

Beriothian barely has time to notice that he was shot before the jumping out of the pull of the magic orb.
Thanks for the heal and the haste guys, this turned crazy fast!
He pulls out his plasma thrower and and sets the robot ablaze dealing 4d6 points of damage per round (stacking up to 4x)

From the previous round Agatha took 41 damage and Megaman was unharmed due to a miss from that area attack. Neither Agatha nor Megaman were affected by the well.

Tink casts haste on the party and tries to find a weakspot. Mostly what she sees are a ton of weapons and thick armor.

Wyaar gets mixed results from his detect evil. The robot doesn’t seem to be evil but there is something evil in there.

Garret teleports behind the thing and buries his chainsaw into it.

Sesha heals everyone before being caught in the gravity well.

Restlin manages to avoid the well and tries to fish someone else out of it.

Bosk takes Restlin’s save and manages to hit the robot.

Zane turns into a dragon and begins to circle around the massive robot. He senses that this robot threatens 20 feet around itself and stays 25 feet away so as not to provoke AOOs but his reduce stops working the moment he turns into a large dragon. (OOC: can only be under the effect of one size altering transmutation spell at a time)

Agatha tries to follow after Zane but she is not as fast. She ends up moving 30 feet and casting a cure spell.

Megaman calls out to Wyaar, “Use the grenade launcher to bomb the gravity well and get rid of it.”

He then fires a missile at the Doctor hitting it square on but the fire appears to have done nothing and the bludgeoning was a little blunted. He too chases after Zane to try to spread out.

The Doctor once again does an area of attack using its chain guns, this time though because the party has spread out only Restlin, Sesha, Bosk, Tink and Beri are caught within the cone of suppressing fire and all take 31 damage (pre applying your DRs + rolling for divet and blink on Beri)

The Doctor then creates a second gravity well near Restlin, Sesha, Beri, Bosk and Tink trying to keep them pinned together (Reflex save DC 30 to avoid)

The Doctor calls out, "Did you ever think that you all just might like being my new robot masters? If you all quit resisting, I promise I'll make your demise quick!"

Restlin again resists the tug of the gravity well. He lays down a time stop spell, giving himself 6 rounds to prepare.

Round 1 - Summon Monster IX - 7 elder earth elementals
Round 2 - Mage's Sword - Will attack Doctor when time is moving
Round 3 - 2nd Mage's sword
Round 4 - Summon Monster VI - Lillend Azata

Round 6 - Protection from evil

When time starts, all his earth elementals and mage's swords attack. Invisible Restlin books it, leaving his illusionary double behind.

The Lillend starts dropping some sick beats (inspire courage).

Tink flies away from the others and tries a disintegrate against the Doctor. Her ray hits dealing 140 damage against the Doctor’s forcefield. It absorbs the damage and persists.

Sesha casts freedom on herself to escape the gravity well but the spell does nothing to get her away from the pull of gravity and she remains trapped.

Restlin resists the tug of gravity and then uses timestop to summon a backup army. The first sword hits but does nothing between the hardness and DR of the Doctor’s body. All the attacks hit reduced by the DR and hardness save for the automatic miss..

Garret continues to attack with the chainsaw.

Zane tumbles and then bites for 20 damage

Wyaar opts to use his arrows in place of the bombs to destroy the wells.

Beri continues to use the plasma throwers special against the Doctor but the flames don’t appear to do anything at current intensity levels.

Bosk tries to hit the Doctor but all his attacks are turned by its thick plating.

(OOC Question answers; we missed moving Bosk who is sized large; Beri’s action came in while we were writing the posts so we missed it but we have corrected; smite does not apply)

Agatha fires her own disintegrate at the Doctor hitting with the ray but the effects are resisted dealing only 24 damage.

Megaman also closes drawing his nullblade and attacks for 29 damage

“Present for you!” The Doctor calls out

The Doctor drops a massive bomb and booster rockets away from the clump (provoking AOOs) before firing another cone of bullets potentially affecting everyone except Wyaar, Tink and Beri but the single attack miraculously misses everyone (nat 1)

Megaman says, “Someone fire the freeze ray at that bomb!”

Restlin shrugs. "Ok, we'll give that a shot."

He flies straight up (skill check autopass) and takes aim at the big ol' bomb with the freeze ray. His aim is almost as good as he's able!

Hit AC 39 for 4 damage? I used the zero rifle stats for damage.

Meanwhile, all his summons give chase. The first sword misses badly (nat1), but the second one scores a solid hit!

Mage's sword 2: Nat 20, threat confirm 38. 19 damage, 32 if crit.

Only elementals 3 and 5 can get within striking distance.

EE3 hits AC 55(nat20, confirm 51) and 39 for 25(52 if crit) and 22 damage.

Tink flies a little further away after firing chain lightning at the doctor. The Doctor dodges the bolt partially but only ends up taking 10 damage. The Lightning has no effect on the well.

Restin shoots the bomb with the freeze ray. Luckily for him he accidentally used the special attack not the normal shot and the bomb is rendered inert encased in ice. One of his swords and 2 of his elementals lands blows that are somewhat reduced damage wise from hardness and DR.

Sesha starts summoning her witchfire

Zane bites the Doctor

Wyaar starts to smell like turkey.

Beri stacks more fire onto the Doctor (OOC: There is actually 3 stacks and you are finally able to overcome its Fire Resistance. We rolled the other 8d6 for you. You are currently at 12d6 per round)

Garret gets in an AOO that doesn’t do much but his throw continues to be effective,

Megaman hits with his null blade on the AOO and then charges the Doctor hitting again with the null blade.

Agatha hits the Doctor with transmute metal to wood slowing him down for 1 round.

The Doctor now slowed fires another 100 foot cone with his chain guns. Everyone and everything except Agatha, MS1, MS2, Wyaar, Beri and Tink are in range and are hit against AC 43 (misses Garret) for 23 damage.

A large laser cannon emerges from a compartment on the Doctor and it locks on to Bosk.

Megaman calls out, “Next round it will fire in a long line unless someone uses Darkman’s null blade’s special darkness ability against that laser!”

Bosk curses that the robot can see him, to gather him, despite his invisibility.

The cleric takes the warning to heart and casts wall of stone (filling up the gun barrel of possible, putting up a wall around/in front of the gun and doctor is it is not.) He then dimensional hops behind and above the doctor.

Garret appears behind the doctor and tears into him with the chainsaw.

Zane does a full attack into the robot hitting a few times.

Beri manages to build up the flames to the point where they deal damage - just enough to finish off the Doctor!

Sesha breathes a sigh of relief.

Restlin stays cautious and wonders what they should do now.

Tink wonders if they should crack open the robot.

Wyarr stays ready for other encroaching threats.

Agatha seems to like Tink’s idea as she immediately starts taking the thing apart, oohing and aahing over various contraptions. She hrms at something deep inside it and pulls it out.

It looks like a brain, but a heavily modified one. Strange metallic apparatus have replaced portions of it and it has magical runes inscribed on various plates. It’s surrounded by a protective glass dome, though it seems to have cracked in the battle. A gooey residue of some sort of liquid sits on the bottom, the rest having presumably leaked out.

Agatha stares at it with great interest. ”Fascinating. I wonder if he’s still alive in there?”

Megaman walks over to look as well. ”I doubt it, not with the liquid gone. I’ve seen something like this before and the liquid keeps the brain hydrated and feeds it. It’d be like cutting off the blood flow to the brain. Still we should destroy it, no telling what his minions might be able to do with it, maybe even revive him somehow.”

Beri looks at the unnatural thing. While he doesn't have anything against cybernetic implants and magicical ruins themselves, this thing appears to have sacrificed it's body for a mechanical one. Still, the engineering feat that was accomplished here to successfully combine the three is something to behold. The human body has millions of interconnected functions, each one of which would have had to be taken into consideration.

Megaman, now that the Doctor is out, do we need to worry about any other of his minions arriving home to meet us, or will they stop functioning with him unable to give orders? Should we be searching his body for some sort of off switch or control box for his troops?.

Tink is with Beri on this one. Now that the head has been chopped off (and "out" apparently), are the rest of the minions still a threat?

Hmm, good point Zane, but I'm not sure that would be an issue. If this is the heart of balance, I would argue that he hasn't been a "person" in a very long time and that it's the "heart" itself that would matter. In any case, it may make sense to take it with us. I get the impression that the Doctor isn't really a threat without his technology, so best case scenario it's exactly what we need, and worst case scenario is likely that we take him to a realm where it won't be a danger to anyone.

Bosk looks at the thing remaining before him. If this is the heart we seek, we cannot destroy it yet. Can anyone divine if it is? We should hold off deterring it, until we determine if it is part of our puzzle. I cannot place it, but it is clearly a construct of sorts.

Beri wonders about what happens to the doctors minions now that he’s dead.

Restlin realizes the potential significance of the brain.

Sesha immediately follows Restlin’s train of thought.

Garret can’t hear anything over his chainsaw.

Wyarr says maybe they should drop it in a bag of holding and mentions they might need Megaman’s help now that they’ve helped him.

Tink agrees with Beri’s concerns.

Zane urges the group to fully explain to Megaman. He also points out that since the doctor is dead there are no moral problems with using the brain for the ritual

Beri points out that a world without high technology might be the safest place to take the brain.

Bosk says they can’t risk letting it be destroyed.

The party reflects back on Gargul’s instructions. They must perform a ritual to open the prison at the top of Bone Tower. One of his former punishers, Kevintar, is imprisoned there and causing problems. Gargul wishes to free him and thus force a confrontation between him and Marteaus before he can reach full strength and be a great threat to the Wold. In order to do so you must perform a ritual that involves five artifacts and five people performing the ritual.

The ritualists must include:

Two intelligent, free willed undead
Two Intelligent, free willed constructs
One intelligent, free willed undead/construct hybrid.

The artifacts are:

A heart of Evil
A heart of Virtue
A heart of Chaos
A heart of Order
A heart of Balance

You earlier determined that MegaRobotNinjaMan is an undead/construct hybrid and would fulfill the most difficult ritualist requirement. You have made no mention of this to him or asked him for his help until Wyarr mentioned it just now.

The brain, even dead, is remains a powerful artifact that could serve as the heart of balance since it is a perfect blend of magic, technology, and biology. The ritual will destroy the brain, so won’t contradict Megaman’s wish.

Your divinations and investigations led you to this world so it is likely that finding replacements for either Megaman or the brain might prove difficult or impossible. It is unclear if the remaining hearts or constructs could be found here.

Megaman thinks for a few moments. ”It’s hard to tell what his minions might do. They are all programmed to follow his every direction, but they are all very different. Many will likely shut down. Others might go berserk. Still others might just continue to do their final orders until they shut down. Organized resistance or assault is highly unlikely, but we’ll probably spend years trying to clean up everything.”

In response to Wyarr’s remark Megaman looks cautious. ”What, exactly, do you mean?”

How do you explain that you are essentially trying to save your world, his world, and numerous parallel worlds, from the wrath of a vengeful god. A god, who is in fact part of another god, who you plan on defeating by starting a war between him and a second part of the same parent god.

Well, the explanation itself isn't the hard part, it's how to explain it without sounding like you suffered a sever concussion and are in need of immediate medical attention.

Sesha defers to Wyaar in explaining what they require of Megaman.

Restlin also waits to see where Wyaar takes things.

Garret juggles his chainsaw before eating some bread and turning the noisy thing off.

Wyaar attempts to diplomatically explain what they are doing and what they need Megaman’s help with.

Beri attempts to help with the explanation.

Zane does too.

Bosk watches and waits.

Tink also assists.

Megaman considers Wyaar’s explanation, thinks for a long while, and finally says, “I’ll do it. You helped me save my home so it would be remiss of me not to help you save yours. The cyberhawks can deal with the scattered forces of our departed doctor in my absence. The knowledge of magic his empire had died with his brain so even if an underling tries to fill the power vacuum left said underling won’t be able create robots that resist magic or null blades so they won’t have to deal with new robot masters. Hopefully it won’t take long to find the other ritual participants and artifacts needed to perform it and I can return to finish cleaning up what remains here. Do you have any idea where we might find other free willed undead or constructs or where we might procure the 4 other hearts your ritual calls for?”

"Oh brother, think about how many hearts of evil and chaos we've stopped throughout the years. Who knew we'd need one so badly, eh?

"Anyway, evil, virtue, order, and chaos will probably be easier to come by than balance. Gargul never said they had to be particularly powerful hearts, did he? Maybe a super kind older man died back in Hook City today. Did the robot masters have hearts? Seems to me that a heart of a machine would be a great candidate for a heart of order. Does it have to be a literal heart? Is there some...main piece of machinery that would qualify as a heart, maybe?"

He looks around. "Well, don't make me figure it all out. Start throwing out ideas." He looks to Garret. "Come on, little dude. This is usually the time you say something brilliant and show you're not just a bottomless stomach that likes to punch things."

"so far we have... a free willed construct, Megaman here and the heart of balance?"

He furrows his brow. "Did a piece of the Chit machine ever get saved? I could order as a heart of order perhaps?"

Garret quietly munches and reflects that he’s not comfortable with taking hearts.

Restlin wonders how many hearts they’ve left behind in the past that might do for the ritual. He also wonders what exactly the specifications for a “Heart of whatever” might be. Could a random nice old guy’s heart do?

Sesha sits quietly.

Wyarr suggests they might come back to help further once their quest is done. He also tries to tally up their current count, though Megaman is the undead/construct hybrid, not just a construct.

Zane wonders if the magic radio might pick up something new in this new world.

Bosk suggests they should search the area for clues and enemies.

Beri points out they still have another trail to follow.

Tink has an interesting, if rather creepy, idea to get some hearts.

Agatha spends the entire conversation looking at the brain in a jar. She seems incredibly fascinated by it. Suddenly she gets up and hands it to Garret seemingly at random. ”I’m going to go find more stuff! I bet the Doctor had all kinds of fascinating relics.” She leaves through the giant hanger doors.

As Garret takes the brain a strange sensation overtakes him. A vague rushing feeling, as if multiple powerful, diametrically opposed forces were contained in the jar, overlaid with a cold harmony that somehow makes them all flow in the same direction.

Anyone who touches the brain with aracana knowledge can instantly realizes this is no run-of-the-mill magic item. If the other hearts are like this they could prove difficult to find - heck it’s amazing the Doctor went down so easily.

From outside the party hears Agatha exclaim in delight and surprise. ”Come look at this!”

Anyone who goes outside sees that she’s exclaiming over a large metal arch sitting in a courtyard. The metal is very unusual and the machine hums softly as Agatha looks over every inch of it. ”I think we just found our way back!”

Restlin remembers he's hurt. He expends all his meager healing energies, healing anyone nearby for 15 whopping HP of damage.

His heart drops a bit when he inspects the brain. If this was the kind of 'heart' they were expected to use, they had a lot of work ahead of them. Bosk was right; maybe the cult already had a few of these hearts. Or maybe they weren't even aware of how the seal was supposed to be broken.

He goes to see what Agatha's up to before she "claims combat rights to all the good loot" or whatever justification she had to empty the doctor's lab of valuables.

Knowledge, Arcana: 60 - What's Agatha all worked up about?
Perception: 56 - He keeps an eye out for valuables before Agatha steals them all.

Garret chews in a piece of his relatively hard, stale, but somehow also chewy bread when Restlin asks him for his input. He replies to Restlin, “I honestly don’t like this whole thing. I like it when it’s clear where the evil is and we go destroy it. This whole thing messing with the gods just doesn’t feel right to me. I mean, I’m not quitting or leaving or anything, but something feels off to me about the whole process. Mortals just shouldn’t be involved in the affairs of gods, if you ask me.”

He smiles when Wyarr mentions the chainsaw. “It’s pretty nice, isn’t it? I wonder if it will work when we get back to Hook City.” He pauses a moment, then frowns, “Ah, we’d probably never get enough permits to ever allow me to use something like this back there any how.”

He brightens up when Bosk mentions food. He starts to say, “Oh yes, barbeque! It has been awhile since I’ve…” He looks down at the bread in his hand, then finishes with, “…eaten some barbeque!”

He recoils a little when Tink mentions creating clones just to rip their hearts out. He mumbles to himself, “Messing in the affairs of gods changes people.”

When Agatha hands him the brain, he feels the powers and nods. He describes them to the others and says, “This feels quite indeed in balance, as things should be.”

He carries the dead brain with him as he heads outside to see what Agatha has to say.

Wait, touching the brain does what? I'm not touching that thing until someone scans it and confirms it's safe... and even then, I vote we dump it in a bag of holding where it can't affect us.

I also vote for bbq meat on a stick when we get back , it that's still an option.

Oh, Agatha, did you find something? Will it take us anywhere, or just back home? Home is a great start of course. Oh, and if all else fails, is it possible to lock our backpack thing onto it so that if we get trapped somewhere else later we can come here, then circle back home again?

Restlin Highlight to display spoiler: {This arch is reminiscent of the gate in the float, mayhaps it will transport you to your home dimension?}

Garret chews his bread, reminisces regarding barbeque and admires his chainsaw. He opines messing in the affairs of Gods changes people and relates how the brain feels.

Wyaar asks Garret about eating brain and agrees harvesting organs from clones is ethically wrong.

Beri says he isn’t touching the brain till it has been thoroughly scanned and suggests they dump it in a bag of holding till it can. He also votes for BBQ and asks Agatha more about the gate.

Bosk asks Megaman about spirits. Megaman says, “The cyberhawks make a decent moon shine or so they claim. Most of the breweries and distilleries were casualties of war.”

Agatha says to the Iron Dragons, “If I’m right this arch is linked to another arch somewhere in the Wold. I don’t think it is the gate in the Float though. I’m not sure where it might be located so we could end up in a cave or dungeon when we get back. I think I can activate it and we can get back to our own home world. I don’t think this can be attuned so we might have to either take Chuck with us or make other arrangements.”

He walks up to the gate, tucks the brain under his arm, and waits. When nothing happens he says, “Well, go ahead. Turn this thing on.”

Once we get back to Hook City, can't we get Chuck home pretty easily? We just need to calibrate to the pile of books again. The real issues are that we don't know where we are going to end up, and that if the doctor had a gateway to the Wold here he may well have another base or troops on the other side... or at least set traps to prevent nosy people on the other end from entering his base.

I don't think there is much to discuss on this. We can either bring him with us where we can abandon him here with no prospects of getting home other than this gate, which again brings him to the Wold. Also, he may have something to say on this. But logically, it seems our best option is to bring him with us... and if any priests try to complain, well tough. As long as we fill out our paperwork there is nothing they can do in Hook City.

Restlin is suspicious of the the portal.

Garret tries to go on through before it’s on.

Wyarr agrees they should find a way to send Chuck home.

Tink agrees as well.

Beri figures it should be easy to get him home from Hook City.

Zane wonders if practical experience will help the author with his stories.

Tink points out he might be considered crazy

Garret wonders how many forms Auslander would have for them.

Beri feels they can handle any problems that come up along the way.

Evil defeated, heart gathered, ally recruited, the party is all ready to head home when they realize they forgot something.

Also Megaman points out they still need to actually tell the Laserhawks they won.

So they head back and spread the good news. There is much excitement and it looks like they might gear up for a party, though resources are still tight enough that it won’t be particularly extravagant. When Chuck is mentioned they’re told he barely leaves his room and hasn’t been eating as much as he should.

”I’ve seen the like before.” a grizzled veteran says. ”survivors after a raid who’ve lost home and family. If someone can’t pull him out of his shell he’ll just wither away.”

Restlin straight-up does not like Chuck very much, but messing with his head? First Tink suggests cloning themselves for sacrifice, now this? Come on...that's not nice at all.

Without putting it before committee, he walks into Chuck's room (he can cast knock if he has to get the door unlocked), and locks the door behind him. He lets Chuck rant a bit if he wants to then starts talking.

"Look, Chuck. I didn't want to bring you. Looking back, I think I was right. I'm still sore that you sat there and profited off our stories while we risked our lives for the good of our world, but it's pretty cool that I have fans in another dimension...I do have fans, right? People dig me? Yea, that's awesome.

"Anyway, we defeated Dr. Whatshisface and his Robot Masters. We've found a way back to our home. From there, Agatha should be able to get you back to yours. The Wold is a lot safer than this place." He moves to unlock the door. "So if you're quite done feeling sorry for yourself, we can leave this room and start getting you back to your family. What do you say?"

Wyarr says they need to get him home, maybe with some more story notes.

Zane thinks he might be a little too scary to talk to Chuck.

Tink wonders if they can make this all seem like a dream.

Garret suggests they try to cheer him up with news they’re heading for the wold.

Restlin disapproves of Tink’s recent suggestions and goes on into Chuck’s room. He gives a little speech to try to cheer him up.

Bosk tries to get some liquor for his collection.

Restlin finds that the door isn’t locked, there’s just a “Do not disturb” sign on it. He steps in and gives his speech hoping to inspire Chuck or at least get him to like the Dragon’s better.

He finds Chuck laying in bed, surrounded by alcohol bottles and gently snoring. Dock is sitting in the corner in golem form. He gives a wave as Restlin walks in.Chuck snorts and blinks blearily as Restlin starts talking. Oh heeey itsh the guy. The m-mage-priesth. Your not dead.”

He struggles to sit up for a moment but gives up. ”I shoulda known you’d guys’d win. Your the sparkle dragons, you always save the day. Wha was I worried about? Plus I had ole Dock..hic..here to keep me company. He showed up here one day. Think he got sep.. split from the group after we left my home”

Bosk, in the meantime, is able to easily snag some alcohol what with the party being put together. Most of it is moonshine. The collapse of civilization and population of robots taking over did a number on the booze business. Similarly the food is mostly bland energy bars or military rations. The main course is a soup the cooks made with scavenged veggies and some well cooked deer meat. Despite the blandness of the meal the Laserhawks seem enthused. It seems that the chance to eat as much as they want is rare.

It looks like they’re starting soon. People start to gather in small groups and speculate about all the things they can do now that the Doctor is gone and they don’t have to constantly be hiding or running.

We know that we can get back to the Wold, but are not sure where and how safe our return will be. After that, we can find a way to send you home with as much lore as you would like to fuel your next stories... or you could stay here.. or stay in the wold. It is up to you, but I want you to know the risks."

At the very least, we should try to get him to the splendors of Hook City, being here is just going to drive him deeper into his depression.

Restlin casts a Mage's Magnificent Mansion spell. If these folks wanted a party, then by golly he'd give them one. He does what he can to tweak the spell, exchanging the feast for party foods and alcohol. He's a pretty boss wizard; it's likely he can pull that off, right? He can't do music, though. Hopefully they could take care of that themselves.

Garret actually restrains himself on food for once, while discussing strategy and tactics and showing off his chainsaw at the party.

Beri thinks they caught a break with Chuck being drunk and could potentially convince him it was all just a dream, but wants to get the man to see the wonders of Hook City as their current environs appear to be depressing him.

Restlin eyes light up at the mention of the Sparkle Dragons and makes a note to push for the name change when they get back. He then casts Mage’s Magnificent Mansion tailoring the feast to contain party foods and alcohol as Waard’s luck appears to be smiling on his Mendicant on a Luck Quest even in this foreign land.

Beri offers to help the denizens of the world they are in have a productive year of crops using some plant growth spells.

Zane gets a view from the air, stretching his dragon wings.

Bosk helps with the soup utilizing rations of stingroot stew and his spice kit to make it taste better.

Tink starts to tinker.

Chuck says to Wyaar, “I’ll...hic...take my chances with you lot...my...goo pala...pala...pal. Loosh like it’s os we go to de Wold.”

With the return of Dock (OOC: Honestly keeping track of Chuck, Agatha, Megaman, the cyberhawks and the enemy NPCs, the DMs forgot about it; we will strive to do better in the future; Dock will not become like V’s familiar in classic OOTS where it popped into and out of existence when people remembered V had one) you now have a free willed undead/construct in Mega Cyber Robo Ninja Man and a free willed construct in Dock. You have also found the heart of balance. You need 4 more hearts and 3 more ritual participants: 1 construct and 2 undead.

The party lasts long into the night and the next day Beri is able to cast plant growth spells to aid with crop production. With these things being done and Chuck, Agatha, Dock and Megaman in tow (look at all the friends you have) you gather back at the gate in the courtyard of the former lair. With a little tinkering Agatha is able to get it to hum and the open air in the middle of the arch is replaced with a bone white colored portal (what could that color possibly signify?).

Your mystic portal awaits...

Zane readies himself, and then shakes hands with those they are leaving behind. "I'm sure if you need help again, you'll find a way to contact us. Stay Safe, and remember to nip troubles in the bud as they say. It keeps them from getting out of hand."
Zane then waits until everyone has gone through, before he dodges through the gate himself. He'll have his Kama in his hand as he does so, just in case.... He expects himself and Agatha to be last.

Agatha, I've never seen a portal that color before... any idea if that indicates anything special?
Beri will listen to Agatha's analysis, and will head through the portal if nothing seems off. Otherwise he will cast a spell prior to entering the portal (likely summoning an air elemental, unless her analysis indicates a specific need).

For some reason he cannot explain Bosk gets an odd feeling and says, Watch my back. When we go through the portal, do not let anyone flank m. Instantly his familiars begin moving about and drawing attention to themselves as them move over his skin an armor. The large scorpion on his back is the most obvious, but the other 1...10...20...50..100...1,000...there are at least 1,500 more diminutive forms moving about and then just as suddenly as they appeared they disappear into his fur and out of sight as they merge with his skin looking like a thousand expertly drawn tattoos.

Gripping his sword he says farewell and joins the others through the portal.

Garret waves goodbye and flips through the portal

Restlin also waves and steps through

Zane shakes hands with a number of people giving them advice. He braces himself to enter the portal and waits to be one of the last to enter it.

Wyaar knocks an arrow and steps through

Beri asks Agatha if the color of the portal indicates anything unusual.

Agatha says to Beri, “I don’t know. Maybe wherever it leads to is bone colored or has a lot of bones or undead skeletons?”

Her response prompts Beri to summon an elemental before stepping through

Bosk asks for someone to watch his back and not let anyone flank in. His familiars move all over his back.

Megaman, Chuck and Dock enter in short succession, followed lastly by Agatha and Zane.

Reality shifts again only to find the group spit out of an archway similar to the one you stepped through on the other side. Shortly after the last traveler leaves the portal dissipates and the archway on your side reverts to a normal arch with just open space in between.

You appear to be in a wide room in a dark area dimly lit by a number of torches. Besides the arch you stepped out of there are 4 other arches in this room.

The one you entered from has a design reminiscent of some of the internal workings of the robots you fought.

The other arches seem to have their own themes as well. One is covered in a variety of strange sigils possibly religious but different from that of any deity you are aware of, another has carvings of small anthropomorphized animal heads with exaggerated features, another arch seems to be have 3 different competing styles on each side and the top, while the last arch seems deliberately sculpted with clean lines and a classical feel. It is very ordered in its construction.

Anyone with an implant realizes they can’t access the knowledge they thought they had regarding the weapons from the previous world is gone.

A globe of absolute blackness hovers in the center of the room and a few moments after you have all exited the portal and were able to take in your new surroundings a detached alien voice emanates from the sphere, “Too many intruders of late, though your entrance was unexpected and different from the others. Who are you and why have you come to the Bone Tower?”

As the party stands at a loss for words (and Agatha leans forward in interest) the globe looms balefully, waiting for a response.

Bosk looks around in shock, kicking himself for not realizing where the portal would come out. This multidimensional tower is exactly where he should have expected to land. He lowers his cowel so that his holy symbol is visible and clears his throat as he responds, I am Bosk DeOx, devoted Grim of Gargul and creator of this tower. Although we did not expect to arrive so soon, we are here by his will. Tell us who or what you are and what your purpose is, and we may be able to tell you more of our purpose here.

Bosk kicks himself for not realizing where they would come out, lowers his cowl and identifies himself as a Grim explaining they were sent by Gargul’s will. He then asks the sphere about itself and its purpose indicating they can tell it more once that has been established.

Wyaar looks at the doors but lets Bosk do the talking. He asks over the rings if they have more dimensional hopping to do.

Tink proudly identifies the party as the Iron Dragons reaffirming their mission from Gargul. She then asks the sphere who it is.

Restlin wonders where this is going to go and who the voice belongs to. He differs to Bosk.

Zane slips his kama into his belt loop still silent as Tink had communicated what he would have.

The voice emanating from the sphere says,”I am the Custodian. As I indicated earlier you are not the only ones entering the tower of late. We are beset by a heretical cult who has evaded attempts made to stop them. Additionally one of the portals in this room has been malfunctioning. It is unstable, randomly opening to allow creatures from another realm here into the Bonetower. Help destroy the monsters and I’ll provide what aid to you I can.”

Beri is amazed that there is such a thing as a sentient sphere of annihilation.
What kind of creatures have been making there way in? Are can you provide more detail on how they have been able to evade your attempts to stop them? It may help us better prepare a counter to stop them. And which portal is it that's malfunctioning , we can try to block it off, or at the very least set up a trap in front of it.

Restlin tells the other over the link that the Custodian is a sentient sphere of annihilation and suggests they not anger it. He volunteers to help.

Garret smiles at the mention of fighting monsters but otherwise stays silent.

Zane explains the Cultists are part of the reason why they came here but they were planning to gather more of the items Gargul inferred they needed first.

Beri is amazed at the concept of a sentient sphere of annihilation and asks further about the monsters and malfunctioning portal.

Wyaar spins around and does a few detect evils.

Bosk wonders about the situation but sees no better options. He asks about the types and number of monsters.

Tink asks if it can monitor many areas.

The custodian says, “Thank you for your help. There are several strange plant and evil outsider creatures that have been set loose but they appear to have taken residence in a room containing hedges because the plant creatures have an affinity for the hedges. My army of unseen servants can direct you to the room; they are how I monitor the tower. I am guarding the portal and cleaning up any further incursions from the malfunctioning portal. As to which one it is, it is the one with the strange animal head sculpture decorations. As for using the monsters to fight the cultists you could try that but the plants are skittish and the demons are brutal so I don't know if you could herd or reason with them. Follow the unseen servants to get there.”

(Ooc: in the interest of having this fight happen before the slowdown we will move things along)

Megaman checks his weapons at the prospect of combat and says, “Something appears to be wrong. I cannot join you in combat”

Agatha says, “I'll see what I can do to help megaman. You guys go ahead, though I suggest you refrain from using any of the weapons we got from our previous destination as I think it too will malfunction here.”

Chuck says, “If I had known we were headed to the Bone Tower I would have taken my chances in robot world and just had you come get me. Now there are demons? I’m freaking out man.”

Dock chirps something about staying with Chuck and so you proceed the way the unseen servants indicate.

When you finally reach the room you see the hedgerows and you see several creatures that each have a chicken head with duck’s feet and a woman’s face too. You can only presume these are the demons. (Ooc: the creatures in this encounter are based off the linked song, sorry no desert hobos)

Before they head to the room, Garret presses the button to start up his chainsaw. He looks depressed when it makes no noise. "Vroom, vroom," he says, disappointed. He gently sets the chainsaw down.

When they arrive in the next room, Garret looks around and tries to count the number of the creatures. He says, "Restlin, you and Tink going to handle these real quick, or should I just head on in there?"

Restlin looks down at Garret. "If they were push-overs, they'd probably have already been dealt with by that sentient sphere of annihilation. I'm betting we're in for a fight." That said...Restlin has an idea. How many exits from this room are there? How large are the exits?

Having asked his question with the stated intent of preparing prior to the encounter, Beri will summon a fire elemental to aid with the plant enemies just before they enter the room.
The plants creatures are supposed to be skittish. I am fluent in Sylvan, so I will offer them the opportunity to stay out of the fight, and if the outsider creatures are forcing them to act, we'll offer our protection if they aid us. Hopefully since it's in their nature to be skittish they will agree and stay out of this, but we should be prepared for that not to happen.

Upon entering Beri will try to determine the motive of the plant creatures, and will offer them a safe passage out if they retreat to the back of the room and stay out of the upcoming fight.

Garret is disappointed his chainsaw no longer works and pretends it can still make the noise it did before. He asks if Tink and Restlin have things handled or should he go in there.

Restlin thinks they are in for a fight and begins analyzing exit numbers and size.

Beri suggests trying to reason with the bush creatures and takes the lead (I assume).

Wyaar activates his divine bond and swiftly detects evil. The demons are evil.

Bosk activates his blink ring and readies protective spells.

Zane takes to the air becomes invisible and draws the kama.

Tink is all stealthy

As the party enters the room they can see the aforementioned hedges. It’s rather strange, as they are clearly still inside with the walls and ceiling being of the same material but there’s a hedgerow growing in it.

Since only Tink and Zane were trying to be stealthy the creatures immediately notice them. They are winged with 2 sets of legs, 1 ending in duck’s feet on which it stands and another held off the ground fielding a pair of wicked talons. Each has sharpened claws and even its wings are keen gleaming metallically. The weirdest part is that the head resembles that of a chicken but with a woman’s face and curved beak

They all immediately summon demonic aid.

Behind the strange female duck demons several sections of the hedgerow break off and run away on topiary feat. Beri can’t get much of a read on their intentions beyond the fact that they ran away; it’s not like they have faces to look at.

Tink gets ready to defend the party from what looks like will be an imminent attack... but then changes her mind as the world around her seems to change too.

Assuming the Fire Elemental that is now on the map was brought in as the result of a spell, Tink tries to dispel it.

Restlin unleashes a cone of cold on all the demons followed by a dimensional step from pressed luck to get behind Bosk. All demons save one of the chicken woman demon who moves to avoid some get hit by the cone head on. All are somewhat resistant to the cold though.

Wyaar destroys Gabrezu 2

Garret charges the first Galbrezu, his fist powered with Wyaar’s smite.

Beri summons a Storm Giant while his fire elemental goes after Galbrezu 1 but both attacks miss.

Zane uses his quicken rod to haste everyone (Ooc: where is the smite roll?)

Bosk misses his smite attempt.

Tink starts to dismiss the Fire Elemental before realizing that it’s Beri’s and switching to a Chain Lightning. They all manage to make their saves and seem to be resistant to electicity.

Chicken demon 1 fires 4 razor sharp feather flechettes at Bosk. The first flechette buries itself deep (crit hit 59; 55 to confirm vs AC 81 vs blink; 9 damage), the second misses due to blink while 3 and 4 both graze the horned cleric (58, 52 vs AC; 84 67 vs blink 2 damage each) (Ooc: I applied your DR)

Chicken demon 2 power attack pounces Bosk. The horn cleric blinks out existence for part of the attack but is bitten and struck by a single wing and claw attack (79, 65, 92 vs blink; 37, 48, 43 vs AC; 24, 7, 15 after DR for 46 total)

Chicken demon 3 pounces the fire elemental striking with both talons, a bite, both wings and both claws. (17 damage total to fire elemental after DR)

Chicken demon 4 also pounces the fire elemental but seeing the problems her sister had she attacks harder but less accurately. She hits with both talons, a bite, 1 wing and both claws (102 more damage after DR)

The Galbrezu utterly fails to damage Bosk with it’s attacks.

The first Nalfeshnee tries and fails to dispell the fire elemental. The second casts Call Lightning and strikes bosk with a lightning bolt (7 damage, reflex 18 for half). Both Nalfeshnee’s begin to glow with a strange light.

Chicken demon 1: 85
Chicken demon 2: 85
Chicken demon 3: 85
Chicken demon 4: 40
Galbrezu 130
Galbrezu 2 destroyed

Zane had to Declare a Target for Smite before Wyaar's next action, which he did, which means he has a bonus vs that target until he declares another target(which he can't) or one of them dies.

Zane transforms into a Large Bronze Dragon via spell, then he flies straight up 45' more to get a nice flight line to his target....

Beri finishes his summons, and the Storm Giant appears on the battle field. The druid quickly instructs the giant on the current situation.
The plants appear to be peaceful, as long as they stay out of this don't harm them. Our concern are the demons.

Restlin hurls a copy of Shiny at the first chicken demon.

Wyaar starts attacking the Nalfseshnee destroying it too.

Garret flurries Galbrezu 1 destroying it too

Zane turns into a bronze dragon.

Beri instructs his 2 summons then starts casting sunbeam. His fire elemental attacks chicken demon 3 but between its DR and fire resistance only does 4 damage. The second attack misses. The chain lightning does nothing to the Galbrezu and Nalfeshnee but the chicken woman demons are all at least partially affected.

Bosk gains height to regroup and heal.

Tink tries a fire attack this time, but it seems they’re resistant to fire as well

Chicken demon 1 power attack pounces the storm giant hitting with 2 talons, a bite, both wings, and a claw.
(48 vs AC for 23 damage; 46 vs AC for 26 damage; 37 vs AC for 35 damage 49 crit w/ 47 to confirm for 41 damage; 46 vs AC for ;29 damage; 51 crit with 36 to confirm for 56 damage; 15 rend; 6 bleed damage)

Chicken demon 2 takes a 5 foot step and fully attacks Garret. It hits with one talon (52 vs AC; crit threat but 36 to confirm so no crit; 25 damage) and Garret narrowly avoids having his face partially ripped off.

Chicken demon 3 continues to attack the fire elemental (49 vs AC for 15 dmg; 45 vs AC for 18 dmg; 51 vs AC crit; 39 to confirm for 34 dmg; 41 vs AC for 7 dmg; 45 vs AC for 9 dmg; 43 vs AC for 17 dmg; 41 vs AC for 18 dmg; all values have DR applied;

Chicken demon 4 seeing the elemental get torn to shreds turns its attentions to the giant. It misses with both talons but hits with a bite, 2 wings and both claws (44 vs AC for 30 dmg; 44 vs AC for 24 dmg; 34 vs AC for 24 dmg; 50 vs AC for 31 dmg; 42 vs AC for 32 dmg and 6 bleed damage)

The light around the Nalfeshnee explodes outwards, nauseating and alien. Garret, Bosk, and the two summons must make DC 22 will saves or be dazed for four round. Seeing that it’s lightning is ineffective it charges in at Bosk to bite him but it’s fangs scrap off his armor. A second nimbus of light forms around it.

(DC 30 know[planes] on chicken woman duck thing: Highlight to display spoiler: {
Vulnerability to heat / chill metal: A heat metal or chill metal successfully cast on scalpturianna-daemon’s wings deals d8s instead of d4s and ignores the scalpturianna-daemon’s fire or cold resistance. Additionally a scalpturianna-daemon is unable to fly, use wing melee attacks or use either fletchette attack on rounds when either spell deals damage. Additionally on rounds when taking damage from either spell there is a 10 percent chance one of its exploding wing blade fletchette’s will detonate dealing 24d6 + 4d6 bleed damage to the creature and everything in a 40 foot radius (reflex 27 half + no bleed) and sundering one of its wings preventing it from flying, melee attacking or launching fletchettes with that wing }

Know, planes 38. Restlin advises everyone on the demons' weaknesses.

Restlin's mage sword keeps up its attack on Chicken Demon 1, hitting AC 52 for 22 damage. He throws another mage's sword out in the mix, also attacking Chicken Demon 1. It's attack hits AC 54 (crit threat - 53 to confirm) for 16 damage (30 if crit).

He backs up.

Beri watches in dismay as his summons get pummeled to the point that in puff of smoke return from whence they came.

Those things are pretty fierce, stay alert and call out if you need healing.

The druid starts summing two air elementals to aid the Iron Dragons, hoping they will fare a little better against the onslaught of attacks.

Restlin's mage swords keep attacking chicken demon 1.

Sword 1: Hit AC 44 for 21 damage
Sword 2: Nat 20. Threat confirm 51. 24 damage (46 if crit).

This situation seems to be in order, so Restlin wants to avoid using more spells. He walks over to Wyarr and lightly nudges him as he's aiming. It seems to help...

The druid then casts sunbeam on the chicken (#4) in an attempt to blind it.

(Reflex save negates the blindness and reduces the damage by half.)

Having given his marching orders, the druid starts to cast Sunbeam

Garret flurries at chicken demon 1 and hits with all blows slaying it.

Wyaar fires a volley of arrows at demon 3 hitting twice.

Restlin’s Swords continue to attack demon 1 slaying it. He also nudges Wyaar.

Zane fights back at demon 3 hitting 4 times slaying it also

Beri gives his summons instructions before using a sunbeam against demon 4. His summons also attack.

Tink summons a batch of lantern archons that light up one of the demons. It twists and turns, dodging all of the attacks (touch AC 21).

Demon 1 and Demon 4 both attack Garret deciding to focus more on hitting the nimble monk instead of damage. The fire elementals get attacks of opportunity as 4 moves towards Garret.

The bushes have shaped themselves to look like figures writhing in pain. They twitch and shake before spitting out two 2 new chicken demons to replace the 2 slain ones. The demons grin maniacally as they flex their new bodies.

Worse I think, there were the same number of plants before I believe, in which case they are creating new chickens. In any case, the conditions of peace have been breached and they must die.

Seeing that the hedges are allowing the bush monsters to teleport Beri determines they need to go as well and summons a fireball. The burning globe of fire rolls over the hedges torching them and comes to rest on the first bush of love

Restlin wills his swords to attack chicken demon 2

Garret uses his abundant step to get away from the chicken demons

Zane instructs over the ring that the plants need to die before unloading a full attack against chicken demon 2 slaying it.

Beri agrees that the conditions of peace have been breached and torches some of the hedgerow while letting the burning orb rest on one of the bushes while his elementals attack the bush. Actually upon getting a better look at the bushes, Beri notices that they are not plants at all but aberrations, mayhap they were once plants but something happened to them to make them twisted and mutated.

Tink starts casting summon monster IX while her lanton archons hit one target

A 3rd bush teleports in from one of the undamaged hedgerow sections and shoots out another demon.

The bushes being attacked make strange rustling noises and the blind demon rushes towards the fire elemental 1 attacking with a bite attack (96 vs 50/50; 45 vs AC; 17 dmg)

Demon 5 moves to attack elemental 2 with its bite attack (35 vs AC; 26 dmg)

Demon 6 rips into elemental 1 hitting with all attacks talon, talon, bite, wing, wing, claw claw (45 vs AC 17 dmg; 41 vs AC 15 dmg ; 43 vs AC 20 dmg; 32 vs AC 8 dmg; 46 vs AC 10 dmg ; 38 vs AC 15 dmg; 41 vs AC 12 dmg) (0 rend) (all values include DR 10/-)

Demon 7 takes no action since it just spawned.

The other 2 bushes under assault from a burning sphere and elementals both bush stride to appear on the other end of the room and rush the exit. They’re about to escape again!

Bosk charges the new bush and hits for 16 damage.

Zane flies over most of the fight towards the other side of the battlefield. He angles slightly and as he reaches the end of his move, turns his head towards the two bushes and unleashes his breath weapon. A bolt of lightning erupts from his open mouth and hits both of them....

41 damage (the +10 from Bloodline Bronze) Reflex save for 1/2 (not sure which DC as Spell and "Dragon Based' are different)

I'll take any healing I can before I reengage those demon thingies, please." Over the rings is heard from Zane.

Seeing the battlefield shifting, Garret decides to take advantage of the focus on others for a moment and he rushes up, attacking one of the creatures from behind, flanking with a fire elemental.

Tink follows Beri's lead and summons some Elder Fire Elementals of her own.

She conjures them as far away from her as she can, and directs them to attack from the other side of the bush.

Her archons fly towards the chickens and put on a light show. Nothing more though.

She hears the needs of the party and begins summoning some more aid

Bosk steps closer to the bush and let's his attacks flow. He hopes to turn it into a nice shrubbery.

Wyaar turns his attention to Chicken 5 and does a lot of damage but doesn't kill it.

Restlin rains a fireball down on the 2 bushes badly burning them.

Zane flies over and breathes lightning at the bushes. One of the bushes dies despite taking half damage while the other takes full damage but is still alive. He asks for healing over the ring.

Garret punches demon 4

Beri[b] summons another fireball and continues to torch the hedges.
His elementals change targets and start focusing on the first bush. Between the 2 of them they destroy it.

[b]Tink sends her fire elementals after the last bush in the room. Both hit but it avoids the bonus fire damage

Bosk lays into the bush hitting twice.

Chicken demon 4 lashes out at Garret in a blind rage but misses entirely.

Chicken 5 continues to attack elemental 2 hitting with all 7 attacks (46, 44, 46, 36, 34, 41, 42) (15 dmg, 19 dmg, 21 dmg, 6 dmg, 10 dmg, 15 dmg, 18 dmg)

Chicken 6 continues to attack elemental 1 (miss, 36, 52, 42, 38, 49. 40) (15 dmg, 18 dmg, 17 dmg, 15 dmg, 7 dmg, 7 dmg) shredding it to bits.

Chicken 7 attacks elemental 2 hitting with all seven attacks (50, 45, 45, 42, 36, 43, 36) (16 dmg, 16 dmg, 22 dmg, 20 dmg, 16 dmg, 6 dmg, 5 dmg) and shreds it too

Bush 3 tries to escape, teleporting to the top set of hedges then running 60 feet towards the far door.

Bush#3 is just inside the range for Restlin's black tentacles spell. He hopes it will slow the thing down.

Move: None
Standard: Black tentacles. Grapple check vs bush is 44. Bush takes 5 damage and is grappled if that succeeds. Terrain is difficult regardless.

Beri looks on in dismay as his fire elemental take as much as the possible can before returning from whence they came.

As the fireballs continue to torch the hedges, the druid then casts sunbeam in the directions of chickens 5 and 6, dealing 8 damage and possible blinding them ( Reflex save)

Restlin attempts to capture the third bush in his black tentacles and succeeds at grappling the bush.

Garret flurries the blind demon destroying it.

Wyaar sends a volley at demon 5 missing 3 times.

Zane takes a bite out of chicken demon 5 finishing it off

Beri has his fireballs torch the hedges and fires off another sunbeam. Demon 6 is blinded.

Demon 6 moves to attack Garret in a blind rage but misses.

Demon 7 fires off an exploding wing blade flechette targeting Wyaar’s square. The flechette explodes dealing 49 dmg + 5 bleed dmg. (Reflex DC 27 for half and no bleed)

The fourth and final bush returns at the death of demon 4 and creates a replacement demon.

Restlin takes super careful aim and sends a maximized disintegration ray at the far bush, hitting touch AC 36 for 204 damage. Fort save DC is 38. Bush takes only 30 damage if it succeeds. SR check is 44.

The tentacles also keep trying to keep their hold on the bush. Grapple check is 35, doing 6 additional damage if successful.

Garret curses the bushes and then flurries demon 6.

Restlin disintegrates the far bush while his tentacles grapple.

Wyaar smites demon 7.

Beri heals Zane while his fire balls continue to wreak havok.

Zane bites 6

Tink’s Azata heals Garret while her elementals and archons press the attack.

With the party’s spells, backup, flurries, volleys and dragon attacks the Iron Dragons are able to put down the bushes and demons.

When they return to the room with the arches only Chuck, Dock, Megaman and the Custodian are left in the room.

The Dragon’s return victoriously to their companions and the Custodian. The Custodian says to the Iron Dragons "Thank you for dispatching the creatures. There is some disturbance happening in their source dimension that is causing their gate to malfunction. This gate can be opened for you but it must be closed again as soon as you are through.
The ones you call Dock, Megaman and Chuck have told of why you came here. The Heart of Sin is on the other side and some of the denizens of this dimension are construct based.
When you are done with your task simply approach the gate on the other side and it will be opened for you. Perhaps by obtaining the heart of sin the gate will stabilize."

Dock, Megaman, and Chuck greet the group but there is no sign of Agatha.

Garret enjoys the feeling of healing as it flows over him. Then he looks around as he finds the foes are suddenly gone.

Garret enjoys the healing.

Wyaar suggests resting first.

Zane suggests finding Agatha

Bosk tries to recall all he knows about the mission, the tower and the gate. He remembers that Gargul revealed that Kevintar had been impersonating him to create the Death Dragon Cult in order to escape. Gargul seeks to release Kevintar before he is ready banking that Marteus would show up and thwart his brother. In order to free Kevintar you need to perform a ritual involving a free willed construct-undead hybrid, 2 free willed undead and 2 free-willed constructs. These beings will either consume or burn five powerful hearts. You have the heart of balance. You need to find the hearts of virtue, sin, order and chaos. You also have 2 ritual participants in the form of Megaman and Dock. You need 1 more construct and 2 undead participants. Lastly the death dragon cult is also looking to acquire the hearts and ritual participants.

Tink makes a wry comment about Agatha

Sesha is a little worried and tries to scry the missing witch. She gets a brief glimpse of a hallway of the same material as other places in the tower before the spell fails. The tower probably has anti-scrying measures throughout.

The custodian says,”You could rest here and now but the one gate is unstable so more creatures could come through. Additionally there is the matter of the others who have entered the bone tower recently who I cannot contain. They may seek the same things you do.”

Megaman looks over the group. ”Wait, Agatha isn’t with you? She said she was going to catch the end of the battle so she could see the monsters.”

Welcome back, Ken.

"Probably best to push on ahead unless we're at death's door. I've got plenty of firepower left myself."

At Megaman's query, Restlin looks around for Agatha. He makes a mental note about Agatha wanting to "see" the monsters and not "help fight" the monsters. Typical.

"I don't remember seeing her. Anyone else?"

Garret pipes up, "We can't be responsible for everyone. We need to get on and collect what we're going to collect. Agatha can handle herself. Tink, if you're ready, I think we head on through the next gate and see what awaits us there!"

"Pantheon's glass gavel!" Tink puts her hands on her hips in frustration and looks upwards for some sort of divine insight.

"Right. If she wanted to see the monsters she would have had to have been guided by the unseen servants to the same door we used. Did that happen or has she just wandered off on her own?" she asks the custodian "For that matter, have any of your servants reported seeing her?"

To Dock, Megaman and Chuck "Did you see which direction she went?"

She then continues the conversation telepathically with the party: "We should be careful how we speak in front of Dock, Megaman and Chuck. I don't want to worry them, nor give the impression that we wouldn't search if it were them. Let's take just a minute to see if we can track her down. If we come up with nothing after that then we press on without her. We have little time as it is"

She looks about for any signs of tracks, marks, or even light to indicate which way Agatha may have gone

I'm not so concerned about rushing, just as we are unable to complete the ritual without all the pieces, nobody else can complete it without ours. Besides being under our protection, Agatha has unique insight into the way these realms work. That is also knowledge we don't want falling into someone else's hands.

...Custodian, are you able to tell where Agatha is at this moment, and is she in danger? Hopefully we can find here and be back together in just a few minutes.

Sesha relates the failed scry spell as well.

"Things are never easy. Though I think it's worth the few minutes trying to find her, she would understand if we had to leave and then find her later. I think."

DM Mitch

Restlin suggests pushing ahead and then says he doesn't remember seeing Agatha, asking if anyone else had.

Garret votes for pressing on asking if Tink is ready and reasoning Agatha can look after herself.

Zane argues they are responsible for those with them including Agatha.

Wyaar argues that the Wold comes first and that those with them second.

Tink questions the Custodian, Dock, Megaman, and Chuck about where Agatha went and cautions the party about giving the wrong impression over the rings.

Beri says he isn't concerned about rushing because presumably other would be ritualists need what they've collected. He also queries the Custodian regarding Agatha

Sesha thinks they should spend a few minutes on trying to find her but that if they had to leave her behind Agatha would understand.

Bosk looks for signs of her passing.

The Custodian says, “The location of the one known as Agatha is unknown but she left one of her packs and the servants are bringing it.”

The party spends a few minutes trying to find any signs of where Agatha went. Unfortunately the smooth metal floors and walls don’t really leave anything for the party to track so they have little success. She’s not in any of the nearby rooms.

Garret says over the rings, "Ugh. I'd suggest giving her one of our rings to keep up with her, but I think she'd probably never stop talking over them. No idea where she went, should we explore a bit more and make sure she's not off getting killed?" Garret looks around and counts the different hallways.

Tink is in agreement with Restlin - splitting up would be bad.

She gets the impression that the custodian probably knows more than it realises and perhaps it is just waiting for the right question. While waiting for the pack she asks all that come to mind. Not necessarily in quick succession mind you.

"Custodian, are there any other 'beings' in the nearby vicinity? Are your servants aware of anything else unusual near here? Have any servants gone missing? Where was she when you lost track of her? Where could she have gone where you wouldn't be able to detect her? What were her exact words before she left? If she went the way we went, why did we not pass her on our return?"

She looks again to the other trio "How long did she wait before following us?" She then asks them yet again to point which direction Agatha went.

Garret says he'd give push to give Agatha a ring but thinks she'd never stop talking. He asks if they should look further.

Wyaar suggests they should start doing something and suggests starting where they fought and move on from there.

Restlin thinks splitting up is a bad idea

Zane looks for a gnome. (Ooc: Agatha is human, sprocket is a gnome)

Tink agrees that splitting up is a bad idea and then asks several questions.

Beri asks some questions regarding the backpack.

Bosk isn’t sure what to do next and asks a question to the party.

Sesha waits for the custodian’s answers.

The custodian says to Wyaar, “The pack was found past the room where you fought in the same hallway.”

The Custodian answers Tink and Beri, “There are no more unusual creatures in the area. No servants have gone missing, she was in the hallway bead where you were. How she is beyond detection is not known. She was not observed to have said anything. Leaving the pack appeared to be intentional. She left shortly after you did.”

I think Bosk had it. I don't think Agatha was hiding anything though, we were very untrusting if her motives and verified her motives and that she wasn't evil. And she's to start to be swayed by faulty logic. Still, there are countless ways she could have been controlled or manipulated

"... or replaced this whole time with a doppleganger"

Once the bag search is complete Tink is ready to head off in the direction Agatha went.

Restlin asks for everyone to check their bags questioning if Agatha was with the cult.

Garret searches his pack finding jerky.

Zane double checks to see if he has it.

Beri suggests Bosk has the heart and that Agatha was manipulated.

Tink suggests that Agatha might have been replaced by a doppleganger.

Bosk supposes they should go after her.

Restlin presses his luck and manages to pinpoint the direction Agatha went.

Garrett calls out after Agatha

Sesha wonders if Agatha might be trying to use the heart to resurrect her dead god.

Zane starts to get fidgity

Wyarr follows Restlin arrow at the ready.

Beri gives his opinion that splitting the party is a bad idea and then asks the Custodian if Restlin is headed in a dangerous direction.

Tink surmises if Agatha isn’t back by now wherever she went is not safe.

Beri has the bag he was curious about and is free to ponder upon what it means.

Restlin is not for splitting the group he’s just pointing out where Agatha went and telling the others to come this way.

The PC check their bags and find that they still have the recovered heart. They set out in search of Agatha and the unseen servants are able to lead them to where the bag was found. The pack contains the hook shot portal generator device, magic field generator device and some sort of compass-like detector you saw her use previously.
(Sense Motive: 25 for Sesha, 29 for everyone else Highlight to display spoiler: { You get the feeling that if Agatha left her pack she thought you having the contents would potentially aid you }

Restlin then has a brainstorm and uses his press his luck to find the path Agatha has taken. It’s a little winding and meandering but his luck holds and they find themselves in a large anteroom. Imposing double doors are the centerpiece of the chamber and a large bloodstain in front of it.

The Custodian speaks to the group telepathically. ”You have reached the way that leads further up the tower. The way becomes much more dangerous from there - you can see the cultists have run a fowl of some of the traps along the way. If you continue to pursue your lost friend you will likely have to deal with the defenses and the cultists.”

The party faces a choice - they can continue to pursue Agatha and deal with the cult now, before the cult is able to prepare for their arrival. If they do so then the tower may continue to be flooded with the alien creatures from the portal.

Or they could abandon the search for Agatha and go back to the portals. This will prevent the strange monsters from infesting the tower, but it will give the Cultists more time to prepare for the party and leave Agatha to her fate. Whatever she’s gotten into it was of her own choice and the party cannot complete the ritual without the hearts the Custodian has told them they could find in the portals.

It's probably rationalization, but she's okay with that.

Beri shakes his head as they discuss whether they should rescue Agatha first.
We may be putting too much focus on Agatha. I'm more concerned with traps if they know we are on our way. If Agatha knows what she's doing, she may have disabled the remaining traps on her way. And if we wait, who knows what kind of devious trap they will have waiting for us.

Heck, if we finish off the cultists we likely have a safe location to camp out and restore our spells, and can lure the monsters through our own traps before they reach us to help balance out any increase in numbers.

I'm all about the safety of the Wold above all else, but it's the traps and the ones planning for our arrival that scare me most. I can't believe that foolish mage didn't tell Cyberman what was going on or leave us an actual note.
The druid sighs at the unnecessary complications Agatha has caused them.
Oh, Custodian, are you able to talk with us still from here? If so, would the room we are going to be safe once cleared out? Or would we be safe from the cultists for a brief rest after we clear out the monsters?

Garret sees nothing wrong with going after Agatha now.

Restlin is bummed the Dragons are not in agreement so he relents on looking for Agatha first

Wyaar disagrees with Bosk on the definition of honor but figures now isn't the time to argue

Beri laments the fact Agatha didn't leave word and asks the custodian some questions.

Zane reflects on different definitions of honor being against splitting the group as well.

Tink wonders what they should do with Chuck and Dock.

The custodian says, “The telepathy I possess can extend throughout the tower. The cultists roam the section you are heading towards. The traps and monsters grow in power as you ascend higher; the cultists will have cleared many of them but may have replaced them with threats of their own. I will send your friends to meet you, they should be safe enough where you currently reside.”

Soon Chuck and Dock rejoin the group. The invisible servants spread out to watch for danger and help keep the party safe while they rest before ascending.

Garret mutters about cults always wrecking things

Sesha tries to comfort Garret by reminding him that bad people are the reasons the iron dragons exist.

zane looks for potions

Beri also prepares for what is in store

Bosk plays heal and buff bot. It’s been maybe an hour since the fight.

Tink says she’s fine to move on.

Saying goodbye to their non-combatant friends (and Megaman who’s weapons still aren’t working), the party begins to ascend the tower. The first several floors are cleared quickly and easily - the threats were mostly cleared by the cultists and remainder are no match for the powerful party. They occasionally see signs that some cultist got unlucky - torn scraps of black fabric and/or bloodstains - but it seems they are retrieving the corpses of their fellows either out of respect or to fuel the creation of undead.

The first sign of cultists being present is the faint sound of voices ahead. As the party grows closer it becomes clear that a small pack of cultists are arguing about something up ahead (perception 40 Highlight to display spoiler: { they’re arguing about how best to trap the hallway}. Then as the party turns a corner the party suddenly finds themselves looking at the arguing group. There are 4 of them, a dwarf, an elf, a halfling, and a half-elf. They sounded much farther away; the strange material of the building must distort the sound.

They notice the party. ”They’re here already?” one yelps. ”Warn the others!” the halfling cries.

The Halfling casts Prismatic Wall, filling the hallway. The other three run down the hall and turn a corner. The halfling makes it to the turn but is still in sight through the wall.

Garret trudges along with the others, wondering when they're going to find more food. He is as surprised as the others when they suddenly spot the other group. He reacts quickly when he hears they are going to warn others: he steps forward and into nothingness, appearing at the corner beyond the halfling, with the intent of trying to stop the others who are running away. If he can, he will block the halfling from continuing to run, but only enough so he can run after the others.

Garret considers going after the other halfling but the prismatic wall bars his way. Moments later one of his allies brings it down and he successfully damages and stuns the enemy haflling.

Zane admires the wall while admitting he can't do anything about it.

Wyaar isn't sure if arrows can pass through prismatic walls and raises his bow but doesn't draw

Tink casts mage's disjunction tearing down the wall.

Beri chases after the cultists. After he has line of sight from passing the turn he uses wall of stone to try to trap the fleeing cultists.

Restlin follows after Bosk and attempts to grapple the fleeing cultists with black tentacles. He easily snares the dwarf, but the other two have Freedom of Movement active and cannot be grappled.

Sesha prepares to counterspell the halfling. (Was the 26 your counterspell check?)

Bosk charges up and crits the halfling, critting for a good chunk of his hp.

The Hafling, staggered, low on health, and surrounded by foes, casts Dimension Door as his one action. Sesha counterspells, but her check is 1 short. The halfling reappears at the end of the 2nd hallway right before the wall of stone.

The Elf casts Dispel Magic but fails to destroy the Black Tentacles holding his college.

The Half-elf facepalms before quickly casting Freedom of Movement on the Dwarf.

The Dwarf casts Phase Door on the stone wall and goes right through it.

Garret, Beri, Restlin, and Bosk are at the end of the first hall. The cultists are grouped at the end of the 2nd hall that is about 100 feet long.

Garret takes a parting shot at the fleeing halfling before dimension stepping and attacking the dwarf. The attack finishes off the halfling

Zane runs up to the first corner.

Beri turns into an air elemental and moves down hall

Restlin runs after everyone removing the tentacles along the way

Tink flies along dispel at the ready

Sesha hurries to catch up.

Bosk starts to deliver a deadly blow to the halfling but the halfling is already dead (you can have your hero point back).

Wyarr also catches up.

The party is now grouped on one side of the stone wall. The two cultists go through the Phase Door prepared by the dwarf - the parties line of sight is cut off from the enemy now.

On the other side of the wall the Elf gets serious. He casts Time Stop, then uses his two free rounds to cast Mass Invisibility and Obscuring Mist. Even as they fade from view a fog fills the area past the stone wall limiting vision to 5 feet.

The Half-Elf, confident he can’t be interrupted or counterspelled, casts Word of Recall. ”I will make sure the other’s know! Be quick to make your escape brothers!” he says before he is teleported away.

The Dwarf makes his save, casts Quickened Haste, and then books it at a flat run, easily making it 100 feet and around the next corner. Garret gets an attack of opportunity if he has some way of seeing invisible targets.

She's all in favor of stoneshaping a hole in this wall and keeping up the pace.

Tink's not used to being the one looking to rush ahead so quickly. Maybe it's just this place or the tension of having the fate of the Wold at stake? Maybe it's the thought of Agatha in trouble? Hmm.. probably not that last one.

Wyaar peers around to make sure no other surprises are visible.

Beri remarks at how the enemies were surprisingly well prepares and offers to make a hole in the stone.

Zane suggests saving the spell and just using a weapon to break down a wall.

Tink argues that the weapon would take too long and that Beri should use the spell so they can press on while their adversaries are vulnerable.

Bosk searches the corpse of the halfling for loot and clues.

Sesha isn't sure what to think of of a well prepared response to them that includes 9th level spells.

The elf uses the parties indecision as a chance to cast his own word of recall and escape. With no one able to give chase no doubt the dwarf is also long gone.

Bosk searches the corpse of the caster they did catch. There aren’t really any clues, just standard caster gear. It seems the halfling was a sorcerer, as there are no spell components or holy symbol.

potion of cure serious wounds, scroll of mislead, scroll of shadow walk; Other Gear masterwork sling with 20 bullets, masterwork spear, amulet of natural armor +2, bracers of armor +3, cloak of resistance +3, headband of alluring charisma +4, ring of protection +3, diamond dust (worth 500 gp), eye ointment for true seeing (worth 500 gp), 1,848 gp

"Word of Recall returns a person to their sanctuary. I very much doubt it is within here. It would make no sense to have an escape plan for this place that does not allow you to escape. If they have left, then it might be possible they cannot return. Would the custodian of this place allow direct teleportation into the Bone Tower? I'm not sure. If they can leave and return though it would mean we could do the same. That at least would be some comfort. That we are not trapped here"

Garret plays lookout and agrees about pressing on.

[b]Tink agrees with the group and takes the lead.

The party advances quickly through the rest of the floor. There are many turns and forks - it’s very mazelike, probably why the enemy chose it as a place to lay traps.

They eventually find their way to the other side where another ornate door stands. On previous floors these doors almost always marked the way up and had a trap or encounter the cultists had already dealt with on the other side.

Sesha scoops up the diamond dust. She was the most likely to need it, as it fueled her restoration spells, which she could cast as needed.

"I know I have access to both of those spells Tink. Other than that one being a witch, I know that clerics with the Trickery domain can cast both spells as well. Either way, we need to be ready to help allies who lose their senses."

I'm guessing we are in for a at least one trap as soon as we open the door, followed by an immediate ambush. Most likely on short notice they would reuse the traps they fought their way through on the way up. Best plan I have for that is to summon an elemental swarm or something with a strong ability to resist/avoid the traps waiting for us. If you agree I'll summon them prior to our entrance.

Beri thinks back on the traps they saw on the way up so he can summon something resistant to the trap patterns they've seen so far

Tink nods to Beri. Summons might be helpful at this point.

Tink looks closely over the door for any signs of traps - magical or otherwise. She checks to see if it has been disturbed in any way recently. Smudges on it? Dust? Drops of sweat or blood? The party have followed the same path as that invisible dwarf so chances are he escaped through here.

She will direct everyone to take a step back while she looks more closely. If she finds signs of a non-magical trap she will attempt to disable it. If any signs of magic, however, she too will step back.

Garret asks Tink if there are traps.

Sesha scoops up the diamond dust and surmises it could have been a witch or a cleric with trickery domain.

Restlin looks over the door with arcane sight.

Zane picks up the 3 items he mentioned.

Beri expects a trap and starts summoning an elemental storm after consulting with the group.

Tink agrees with Beri's idea while checking the door for traps.

Bosk hands over the items, keeping a choice few for himself.

Restlin and Tink examine the door thoroughly. While it reads faintly of magic it has no magical traps. As far as Restlin can tell it’s just enchanted for extra strength. Tink in turn finds no evidence of a mechanical trap - there are no mechanisms on this side of the door that could shoot out something dangerous, drop something on them, or cause the floor to collapse.

When the party opens the door it becomes a different story. The next room positively glows with power. The entire area seems to be enchanted with something and several other magical auras and protrusions indicate the entire hall is full of dozens of traps. The cultists obviously came through here - corpses litter the hall, some scorched, some decapitated or cut to pieces.

The party only gets a few moments to look however. Opening the door seems to have caused something because all of the lights go out.

(DM note: Ok so here's how this works. The entire area has gone dark - PC's without dark-vision or other special senses are blind. To simulate this we're doing a few things.

Firstly, everyone gets their own copy of the map and only what they can see or are aware off will be on the map. Everyone has edit privileges and I will only add what a PC can personally see. Ergo, if Reslin sees a magical trap and warns Garret, I will put the trap on Restlin's map, but Garret will have to use Restlin's description to put it on his own map. Communication is key!

Secondly I ask that PC's post using Highlight to display spoiler: { }. When I make the DM post I will describe to each PC what they can see of the other PC's actions, also spoilered. Please only look at text intended for you.

Thirdly the darkness affects your ability to detect, disarm, and avoid traps. If you do not have some form of vision active then the DC to detect, disarm, or dodge a trap is increased by 10.)

I have an ioun torch if anyone needs it, I can see just fine without it... though I'm going to look through the gem before transforming again. I'll take the form of an air elemental and float 5 feet above where you can reach me but it will be harder for traps to hit us all at once. Make sure to relay everything you see over the link. Also, before taking a single step forward, let's relay everything we see, no sense starting off stupid and setting off traps.

Beri will look through the gem and scan for traps and enemies, paying extra attention to the ceiling as he will be floating, then hands the ioun torch and gem to the first people that need it (or returns the unused item to his bag). before transforming and floating in line towards the back.

Upon seeing the scorched corpses Bosk casts protection from energy (fire) from a scroll on himself just in time to watch the lights go out. Immediately he slides into the shadows (darkwalk). He then takes a position behind Tink figuring his sight can help aid her, and he can attack over her head.

Bosk has a dark vision 120ft as a spell-like ability that he can use for 8 minutes, if that fails or is spelled he will move his sacred tattoo to gain a 60ft dark vision ability (treat as ability granted from a familiar). Bosk also had the blind fighting feat. He is currently blinking, floating just above the ground, and

"There's a trap 15ft in front of me. Another trap and a pit either side. Corpses next to the walls. Can't see the dwarf or anything moving" Tink then has an idea "Does anyone have an unseen servant spell prepared? Perhaps sending it ahead of us will trigger some traps. Perhaps Alice could help, Sesha?"

"The pit does't look very wide. 5ft perhaps? Flying or jumping over it looks to be possible. I'm going to get a little closer. Diagonal to the right" Tink takes a step.

She would desperately like to use her hide in plain sight ability, however it would make her difficult to see for even her friends. Then it occurs to her. The Dragon Rings. They provide a constant 'status' spell across everyone. Everyone knows where everyone is!

Tink slips into the shadows.

Bosk protects himself from fire then moves up behind Tink

Tink takes a confident step forward. (Since everyone basically said they’d be following Tink I’m moving everyone up as well)

Things seem to be looking up. Everyone has Darkvision active and Tink is able to spot the traps.

Then cultists start unmelding from the stone floor and casting spells at you.

The cultists on the right up ahead pulls something out of a pouch and throws it at the party.

Looks like in addition to active traps a few of the cultists hung around as well. Guess we'll need to do this the hard way.
Beri starts to summon (d3=3) greater earth elemental.

ooc: Beri is a huge air elemental hovering 5 feet above the ground.
also, originally I had said I would summon an elemental swarm (5 large elementals atm) based on the style of traps we see. If floating would avoid all triggers I will to air elementals, otherwise earth elementals as the description seemed to indicate more cutting traps and they have the better natural armor and earth glide to go under trap triggers.

Traps and ambushes are for cowards and eunuchs! With that Bosk reaches 5ft in front of Tink and casts stone shape on the hallway. Only a thin line moved forward for the next 10 ft before it stretches across the hallway, transmuting the surface of the rock. The new surface of identical to the old one, but shifted back slightly.

ooc: Anything still mended into some takes 13 dmg. The point of altering the surface of the floor is to hopefully trigger any traps more then 15 ft from the group or render them inoperable. It is a large area, so the depth in not great... However the total weight of unaffected for pushing buttons down, and Stone is strong and super a fair amount of weight when on the ground.

Tink lights up the darkness… well she at least brings back to the natural darkness. She’s able to identify (and memorize in case the lights go out again) the locations of the next row of traps.

Garret can see again, and wants to advance, but isn’t sure where the traps are.

Restlin is able to find a fist sized rock that must have been what the cultists threw. Rather than waste a counterspell he pockets it, cutting off it’s aura of darkness. Tink’s Sunlight is now making everything normal light.

Sesha casts Spectral Hand and searches for a target.

Zane takes to the air then shoots a cultist. The arrow bounces off his robe and falls to the floor.

Beri casts a summoning spell. The spell automatically fails - the area must be warded against summoning, probably to prevent casters from just throwing extraplanar beings at the traps until they’re all cleared out.

Bosk covers the first row of traps in stone. Unfortunately that activates one of them. Fortunately, it seems to have no effect - Knowledge Arcana 33 Highlight to display spoiler: { it is likely a one of the symbol types of spells, they trigger if read, touched, or covered up. The entire party is strong enough to resist it’s effect unless they take damage}. He does successfully cover the pit trap, rendering it useless.

Wyarr activates his flight.

Cultist 1 casts a spell at Tink - now that she can see she can identify it as Flame Strike. 42 damage or Reflex save 22.

Cultists 2 and 3 cast Obscuring Mist, hiding himself and cultist one.

Cultist 4 advances into the mist. A corpse just outside of the mist stands up, now animated.

Cultists have an AC of 32 and are currently totally concealed (50% miss chance) in the mist.

Highlight to display spoiler: {Cast Gtr Dispel Magic in the square east of the zombie as an area dispel. Dispel check: 40

Area Dispel: When greater dispel magic is used in this way, the spell affects everything within a 20-foot-radius burst.

For each object within the area that is the target of one or more spells, apply the dispel check as with creatures. Magic items are not affected by an area dispel.

For each ongoing area or effect spell whose point of origin is within the area of the greater dispel magic spell, apply the dispel check to dispel the spell. For each ongoing spell whose area overlaps that of the greater dispel magic spell, apply the dispel check to end the effect, but only within the overlapping area.

If an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by summon monster) is in the area, apply the dispel check to end the spell that conjured that object or creature (returning it whence it came) in addition to attempting to dispel one spell targeting the creature or object.

Should hopefully dispel both obscuring mists, the highest level active spell on any bad guy within 20ft of that point, completely remove any ongoing area effect spells with a point of origin within 20ft (inc magical traps - depending on type. some just suppressed - and magical objects), and remove the effect of other ongoing spells with an origination point gtr than 20ft away but only the effect within the overlapping area}

Over the ring Bosk says I do not know about you, but after this I am moving forward and just triggering some traps, unless you all have a better idea.

The horned cleric then tosses a mid strength bead from his Laplace of fireball into the center of the mist with the most enemies inside, far enough back that it avoid any team mates and overlaps the other mist as much as possible.

(Note that Bosk is floating, blinking, has ghost touch, dark vision, blind fighting. and protection from fire.)

Tink looks around the room for information on what could be affecting Beri’s ability to summon. She dodges the flame strike, points out the zombie and sends an area dispel towards the cultists. The mist is unaffected, but her arcane sight sees some of the traps get disabled and she hears some cultists grunt in dismay.

Sesha hits Garret with a stoneskin spell and offers him the ability to fly.

Garret inches forward and replies to Sesha in the affirmative.

Restlin quips about the cultists having self-esteem issues before asking Beri for a gust of wind spell.

Zane points out that the bouncing arrow was odd, putting his arrow away and asking his friends what they want him to do.

Beri looks on in dismay as his spell just fizzles. He sends a single elemental into the hallway trying to figure out if the spell effects existing summons not just new summons. The elemental winks out as soon as it enters the hallway.

Wyarr activates his bow powers.

Restlin realizes no gust is coming and targets the visible zombie with Chain Lightning. The zombie explodes into dust and gore and the chain lightning shoots into the mist. From the cries of agony it seems he hit both cultists.

Sesha turns Garret into a wind elemental so he can fly.

Bosk says that he’s advancing and tries to spot some traps.

Chanting comes from the nearby mist. Suddenly all sound around Tink stops - they must have cast silence (no save, they cast on an area instead of targeting someone)

Darkness envelops the far back of the room beyond the reach of Tink’s Daylight.

Cultists have an AC of 32 and are currently totally concealed (50% miss chance) in the mist

The party don't really seem to be doing much damage against these cultists. Normally those guys would be well and truly dead by now.

"I guess the dark is affecting the party more than I thought"

"So, uh, anyone going to go over there and stab them? I'll run out of spells before long"

She tries to be a bit more direct.

"Right. 30ft ahead of me, 5ft west. There's a cultist there.
20ft ahead of me, 15ft west. Another.
25ft ahead of me, 15ft west. A zombie. That's around 50ft dead ahead of you Zane.
I'm going to reverse gravity the area but you can still target them no problem. Even if you can't see them you can still try to target them.

If you need to you can hug the right hand wall. I think I dispelled some things along the way and certainly debuffed those cultists a little"

Zane activates his ring of invisibility and then flies behind Tink and Garret.

Restlin presses his luck looking for some extra bat guano for fireballs and fails suffering a -6 on his next attack roll for his efforts.

Garret flies a bit forward looking for targets. A trap tries to create a forecage around him - DC 20 reflex to jump out of the way.

Beri sends one of his remaining elementals just short of entering the room and instructs it in Terran to relay anything it sees to him and its brethren. He then clears out any remaining mist using wind gusts.

The elemental scout reports in Terran, Highlight to display spoiler: {“I sense a corpse 15 feet into the room on the left hand side against the wall, another corpse 30 feet into the room in the middle, a cultist 40 feet into the room also in the middle, a zombie 45 feet into the room also in the middle, another cultist 50 feet into the room on the right hand side 5 feet from the wall, and another corpse 60 feet into the room on the left hand side against the wall. I also sense some kind of magic trap in contact with ground squares 15 feet into the room on the left 5 foot from the wall and 45 feet into the room on the right hand side against the wall.”}

Wyaar turns his attention to the rear to hopefully prevent any flanking that may or may not occur.

Tink casts flaming sphere and describes the location of the cultists. The cultist manages to dodge the sphere. She takes a closer look at the zombies and realizes they’re basic, ordinary zombies that probably couldn’t even damage the Iron Dragons. She then fills most of the hallway with Antigravity Field causing all the cultist and the zombie to fall to the ceiling

Bosk finds himself looking up at the cultists. Undeterred, he advances and hits one. Unfortunately he still sets off a Meteor Swarm trap (activates when anyone enters it’s sightline, has true seeing)

Bosk, Garret, Tink, and Cultist 1 are targeted by flying meteors. Bosk and Garret are missed by the flying meteor, but Tink and the Cultist are hit - Tink takes 6 damage.

The explosions envelop the party. The cultists take heavy damage; the zombie is incinerated. Tink, Bosk, and Garret have to make 4 DC 23 reflex saves, damage is 18, 21, 23, 20 (half on save).

Sesha, Zane, and Wyarr have to make 1 save or take the 20 damage.

Cultists 2, 3, and 4 retreat to the back of the room.

Cultist 1 gets a crazed look on his face. ”FOR GARGUL!” he proclaims and then he runs 10 feet and sets off another Meteor swarm (withdraw action, he has true seeing, no AoO).

The second trap targets the cultist, Bosk, Tink, and Garret. Bosk and the Cultist are hit, Bosk takes 5 damage from impact. The cultist dies from the ensuing explosions.

Four explosions hit Bosk, Tink, and Garret; they have to save vs DC 23 reflex four times or take 26, 12, 20, and 27 damage.

Sesha, Zane, and Wyarr have to save twice or take the 20 and 27 damage.

Restlin has to save vs the 27 damage.

If anyone falls under 150 hp they must make a DC 21 Fort save or instantly die from the Symbol of Death activated by the Stone Shape.

and another corpse 60 feet into the room on the left hand side against the wall.

Oh, and it sense some kind of magic trap in contact with ground squares 15 feet into the room on the left 5 foot from the wall
and another 45 feet into the room on the right hand side against the wall.

With minimal options available to the druid, he proceeds cast his own flaming sphere.

Since the cultists are able to walk freely through the Reverse Gravity Tink dismisses the spell to enable the rest of the party to push forward safely.

Tink keeps the flaming sphere rolling, and, unable to fly ahead this round settles with a 5ft step

Restlin dances among the meteor swarm, coming out the otherside unscathed.

Reflex 42 + ring of evasion = no damage

He doesn't want to use any more spells since the cultists are beat down, but when every one of Wyarr's arrows somehow misses, he sighs and gets to work.

Aiming 20' feet past the cultists, he summons a wall of ice across the entire expanse. It should block the entire hallway and is 17" thick. No one's close enough (that Restlin can see) to make a save against it. Each 10' section has 51 hp and takes half damage from anything other than fire.

"There. Now they can't get away. Go stab them or something so we can get on with this."

Bosk walks out of the flames unscathed and asks if any of the others need healing, delaying to provide healing if anyone does.

Zane also is unscathed by all the trap madness that just happened and moves to the edge

Beri informs the others what the earth elemental sensed and then creates his own flaming sphere.

Sesha dispels the silence

Tink moves her fire and advances some. Her Hand of Glory pushes back the darkness and reveals the other two cultists (I assume you have it out shedding light)

Wyarr actually manages to land 2 hits dropping a cultist. (cultist 2 was out of concealment)

Restlin blocks the cultists retreat.

Garret tries to dimension step to a cultist, but finds the he can’t. The area must be warded against magical teleportation effects. Behind him in the Forcecage magical blades appear and start slashing all over the place. Good thing he dodged it.

The cultists retreat into the shadows… and then suddenly appear next to Sesha! Cultists 3, severely weakened by Tink’s symbol, still manages to reach out and touch Sesha. The other easily catches her. Fort save vs DC 22 twice. On a failure she takes 47 and 53 damage. On success she takes 23 and 21 damage.

Restlin scooches to the side so the melee folks can move up and clobber the thugs hurting his girlfriend. Truly, a man of unparalleled heroics.

He's still keen on not using too many spells, but sees Tink heading towards the wall he made, a wall that's now shrouded in darkness.

"Hey Tink, watch your nose up there. I threw up an ice wall to stop the cultists from retreating. You're about to walk right into it. Say the word, and I'll dispel it for you."

Sesha hisses as their energy surges through her. It hurt, but it wasn't unbearable. She resisted the first attack, and Tinks garments allowed her to dodge the other completely. (Blur thingy that Tink does)

Sesha's spite spell activates, and the one who hit her, if he's still alive, is sickened and takes a -4 dex penalty for 24 minutes.

"That will wear off in awhile, but your probably not going to last that long."

She takes a five foot step away from the cultists and casually heals herself, removing the majority of his damage with a simple cure spell.

Tink moves along the right hand wall being careful to avoid traps. She flies over a pit trap and avoids setting off a symbol of death.

Zane attacks the cultists in range, they look fairly beat up but are still standing.

Restlin positions himself in the back so they melee fighters can have a fair shot at the combatants. He then offers to dispel his wall of ice if Tink so wishes.

Garret finds that any items are to damaged by the trap that killed the cultist or gone. His fellows probably just left the corpse to make into a zombie later.

Tink yells back to Restlin not to worry about her and only moves forward about 50 feet.

Beri has his elemental pummel the cultist near it. It hits once for 10 damage.

Sesha shrugs off most of the damage using a cure spell.

Restlin wishes he could see the look on the cultists’ faces when they realize the truth about Gargul and then hurries to use his luck to help Wyaar.

The cultists are incredibly shocked to be alive. They look down at themselves, then each other, then at Zane. Quickly they cast another spell; one pokes at Sesha while the other takes a 5 foot step to get at Zane. Both manage to hit (rolled against your blink this time, both made it) and Sesha and Zane must save vs fort DC 24 (we forgot to add feats to save DC last turn). On failure they take 58 damage, on success Sesha takes only 25, Zane 21.

Tink decides to try to make it to the ice wall and back. She moves 5 feet forward and stops as she notices a prison of blades traps directly in front of her.

Wyaar slays the remaining cultists with arrows leaving corpses where the cultists once stood.

Garret calls back to Tink that he is moving up with her on the left and asks if she sees anything. He stops when she does after moving 20 feet.

Restlin pats Wyaar on the back, waiting to hear from Tink.

Bosk sees himself surrounded by traps and asks if the way is clear or if someone can disable the traps.

Zane takes partial damage from the spell but the cultists are already dead.

Beri asks his elementals to relay if anything has changed then moves his flaming sphere to the next corpse.

Question to DM: How far can Tink see around her? 10ft? 20ft? This post assumes she has seen at least 10ft along the way

-----------------

"Right, so ah, found another trap. Let's see about getting people moving forwards"

Tink is able to tell everyones position thanks to the constant Status spell in effect.

"Listen to me carefully, Bosk. I only saw one trap along this route and it's about 10 ft north of you against the wall. This is the path I took, but you might need to suck your stomach in along the way. Take one step northwest. Then step north 15ft. You should see my flaming sphere to the east of you. Take one step north east. Then north another 15ft. You'll end up standing right next to me.

Garret, I'm about 10ft to the east of you.

Everyone else, hug the east side wall and start moving. 25ft north of Beri's flaming sphere is the trap. Beri and Zane: make sure you squeeze yourself against the walls just to be safe."

Beri tansforms into a medium air elemental and proceeds with the others. He continues to fly above the ground, but lowers his flying height to so he's floating between the range of Bosk's height (to further avoid setting off unseen traps).

Squeezing
(Abbreviated) You can squeeze through or into a space that is at least half as wide as your normal space. Each space counts as if it were 2 squares, and while squeezed, you take –4 penalty on attack rolls and to AC.

If less than half your space's width, you must use Escape Artist. You can't attack while using Escape Artist to squeeze through or into a narrow space, you take a –4 penalty to AC, and you lose any Dexterity bonus to AC. Takes at least a minute.

With the cultists gone and no active threats to force the party to hurry they are able to slowly and carefully work their way through all of the traps. In particular a teleport circle near the end of the room proves interesting, apparently set up to send some unfortunate back to the start of the trapped hallway.

A large stone door stands before them securely locked.

(I updated everyone's map with trap locations, position yourself near the end of the hall and prepare for round 2)

Wyarr advances with the group.

Tink comments that that was fun and that she doesn’t think she can push open the heavy door.

Garret tries to shove the door open but it’s a giant slab of stone set into the walls so it doesn’t budge.

Zane helps pushing but still no luck.

Wyarr detects evil. He sees nothing, though since the room they’re in is clear and the door isn’t open yet that’s not particularly helpful.

Sesha is ready to heal people in case they set off a trap. Fortunately, they don’t.

Restlin just stays out of the way.

Beri examines the traps more carefully. It seems the only thing activated by touch where the pit traps. Almost all of the traps seem to be activated by an arcane eye. If anyone steps in it’s narrow line of sight then the trap is activated. If he wants to risk setting a few off he can find more about it’s limits.

The party carefully searches the door. It has an opening mechanism that looks like it will cause the door to slide into the floor, but the mechanism is locked and will require a disable device check. It’s complicated enough Tink might take a few tries at it and she wouldn’t have been able to do it in the dark.

They can’t find any obvious traps on it, but then again they couldn’t on the previous door either and that’s when the lights turned off. If there’s an arcane eye or other mechanism that activates on the other side of the door there’s no way to reach and disable it from here. The wall has spells of fortification on it to prevent it from easily being destroyed or circumvented without opening the lock.

"So, what do you think is on the other side? Could be anything. Maybe the cult got Kevintar out by themselves and he's waiting to kill us all? How crazy is it that Marteus is going to come and be helpful for once, by the way? Did we ever stop to think about how nutzo that is? Marteus, savior of man. That doesn't sound right, you know?

Restlin gives Tink a touch of luck.

Zane gets ready to jump in the way should some trap go off.

Tink finds it difficult to concentrate again

Wyaar knocks an arrow

To Tink’s frustration she cannot get the door open. She gets very close, but then a block slides back into place and she has to start all over. She realizes that, due to the unusual nature of this lock, maybe her teammates could help. Sure none of them are trained, but she could just hand them a tool and tell them to hold something in place.

(If you want to aid Tink make a d20 roll - no modifier. On a 10+, +2 to her roll. On a 1, you get in the way and she gets -2. On a 20 you’re extra helpful and give her +4. There’s only space for 2 helpers)

Tink does much better on the second attempt, quickly and easily solving the puzzle lock and sliding everything into place.

Garret watches the master at work.

Zane waits patiently.

Restlin plays rearguard.

Beri gets ready to jump out of the way should a trap or enemy occur.

Sesha uses a bit of magic to increase Tink’s chance at opening the door.

With the puzzle lock solved the door slides downward. Well actually it’s more like whatever was holding it up lets go and the whole giant slab crashes downward into the floor with a BOOM.

A simultaneous BOOM behind the party alerts them to the fact that another huge slab of stone has fallen down behind them. It’s covered in mystic runes and the symbol of Gargul is displayed prominently, shining a holy light that illuminates the darkness and radiating energy. With an ominous groan it starts to slide forward…

Meanwhile, in front of the party stretches a long hallway much like the one they just cleared. Alerted by the boom, four cultists arise out of the stone they melded into.

Cultists 2 & 3 cast Obscuring Mist. Cultists 1 & 4 cast Heightened Deeper Darkness and Tink’s light is extinguished. You are strong Dragons, but the darkness will be your end!” one of the cultists snarls.

The teleportation trap fizzles. No getting out that way.

As the darkness drops once again, Zane uses his Blindsense to locate any cultist within 60' and will alert the rest to their current position.
"Hey Look, or rather don't look, more Darkness. That worked so well the last time"

Blindsense Highlight to display spoiler: { Blindsense lets a creature notice things it cannot see, but without the precision of blindsight. The creature with blindsense usually does not need to make Perception checks to notice and locate creatures within range of its blindsense ability, provided that it has line of effect to that creature. Any opponent that cannot be seen has total concealment (50% miss chance) against a creature with blindsense, and the blindsensing creature still has the normal miss chance when attacking foes that have concealment. Visibility still affects the movement of a creature with blindsense. A creature with blindsense is still denied its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class against attacks from creatures it cannot see.}

"We're doing this again are we? Alright then." Tink uses a hero point to recast Mage's Disjunction. She targets the sqaure 40ft ahead of her.

OOC: Mages Disjunction:
All magical effects and magic items within the radius of the spell, except for those that you carry or touch, are disjoined. That is, spells and spell-like effects are unraveled and destroyed completely (ending the effect as a dispel magic spell does), and each permanent magic item must make a successful Will save or be turned into a normal item for the duration of this spell. An item in a creature's possession uses its own Will save bonus or its possessor's Will save bonus, whichever is higher. If an item's saving throw results in a natural 1 on the die, the item is destroyed instead of being suppressed.

The will save for items is DC28

The spell has a 40ft radius so will extend 80ft into the room. Distance show on map.

Highlight to display spoiler: {This should include any Obscuring Mist spells. They're listed as conjuration(creation), which: "if the spell has a duration other than instantaneous, magic holds the creation together" as well as listed in the description as (D) - dismissable.}

Let's hope that the same tactic works as before, otherwise this is going to turn bad fast.
While Beri waits to see if Tink's spell works he starts summoning a whirlwind on top of the location of the farthest back cultist.

Zane comments on how ineffective the darkness was in the previous room.

Tink uses mage's disjunction to successfully dispel the darkness. Just as important, several magical traps fizzle out nearby.
Her symbol of weakness affects one cultist and not by much.

Restlin analyzes the situation. The wall was only just starting to move and picking up speed; he’ll be able to tell how fast it’s going this round. Zane is point out cultist locations for him, so he can actually aim in the right general area.

Wyarr opens up and does 100 damage to the first cultist. The cultist is severely weakened by still standing.

Garret, Zane, and Sesha wait to see what happens.

Beri summons up a whirlwind and sends it to the back cultist (next time list the save when you cast a spell please, we figured it was 28 - 10 + 10[wis]+8[spell level]) the cultist fails to avoid being sucked up in the funnel

The cultists immediately recast Heightened Darkness, the two who didn’t cast it before casting it this time. The other recasts obscuring mist and the last is caught in the whirlwind.

Behind the Dragons the wall picks up speed at an alarming pace, advancing 10 feet this round.

Cultist 4: 14, trapped in whirlwind

"Why are you resisting? We're trying to help you meet your god!" Tink calls back to the cultists.

She casts another Mage's Disjunction spell though this time aims it a little further away.

Tink tries to think of ways that these cultists might have to see through the darkness they insist on casting. She's confident that she removed all of their active spells.

Zane swoops forward to the first cultist and takes an attack....He tries a stunning fist on the cultist, as he's trowing the strike, he tries to remember years ago when he was studying at the monastery and the trouble he had then in getting the strike just right, he tended to destroy rather than stun....

Stunning Fist AC 40, Damage 19 (save DC 15) + 6 Holy damage

He'll continue to give locations of those he detects with blindsense, as he expects yet another round of darkness to ensue.....

Blinking in the alternating light and darkness, Garret flies directly forward to where he last saw a cultist in an attempt to hit it.

Straight ahead, charge attack. I don't know what to roll, I'm guessing concealment, 50% miss? High is good roll: 29. So if 50/50 Garret misses.

I moved Garret on Garret's map, but he disappeared in the darkness.

The whirlwind appears, and Beri picks up a cultist (he will try to grab a different cultist if the one it's over fails to be sucked up), then drags the cultist backwards to the end of the hall,

Beri follows then follows Tink's flight path into the room (assuming no traps were sprung) to get out of the way of the rapidly approaching wall.

The druid looks around the room for any signs of traps and relays the information to the team over his ring.

Tink casts another round of mage’s disjunction, while flying forward 20 feet. The darkness again fades and

Zane attacks the first cultist going for a stunning fist while he resists being stunned he ends up dying from the blow. As Zane moves forward a spear launches itself from one of the walls at the dragon disciple and skewers him for 11 damage and he needs to make a DC 30 fort save or he takes 1d6 con damage per round for 6 rounds with 2 DC 30 fort saves needed to cure the poison over the duration. (OOC: so if you are poisoned each round you need to make another save until you make 2 total)

Garret moves up trying to attack the cultist and finishes off the mostly dead cultist.
Another spear emerges from the wall targeting Garret but he easily dodges the large weapon.

Bosk also flies forward 20 feet.

Restlin wants to figure out who is running the show and try to taunt them to show themselves. Meanwhile he conjures a mage’s sword at Cultist 2 who gets hit by the magic blade.

Beri drags his cultist to the back of the hall and then follows Tink forward careful for traps. The cultist trapped in the vortex takes 6 damage.

Wyaar fires off another volley of arrows at the cultists. His arrows take out Cultist 2 and do some damage to cultist 3 but cultist 3 is still standing.

Two spaces crossed by Zane and Garret start to hiss and an invisible gas starts to fill the area. Bosk, Beri, Sesha, Wyarr, and Zane all have to make DC 36 Fortitude save or be Confused as vivid visions fill your mind (DC 35 will to ignore and act normally). As a side effect if you are poisoned by the gas your caster level increases by 2 for the duration.

The wall advances 10 feet.

The last cultist standing snarls and stubbornly recasts the darkness. ”I’ll join Gargul today but with his blessing I might send one of you with me.”

HP Tracker:

Cultist 1: dead
Cultist 2: dead
Cultist 3: 48 damage
Cultist 4: 20, trapped in whirlwind

Cultists have an AC of 23

Within 10 feet of the wall you take 10d6 damage - half positive and half negative energy. Light is shed making the area normal light within 10 feet, even through magical darkness. Str check DC 24 to slow the wall down by 5 feet. It advances 10 feet per round.

"Darn good thinking, Tink."

Restlin's gonna be in range of that nasty looking wall very soon, but this gas doesn't look too great either. He shrugs and presses his luck, running forward until he thinks he's past the gas. His dare pays off as he emerges unscathed! (Fort save 42).

He directs his sword to cultist 3, hitting AC 45 for 10 damage.

Zane manages to push off the effects of the poison on the blade, but he takes a deep breath of whatever the gas is. Even though he's dosed with it, he closes his mind down to a narrow focus and continues on with his mission....(made will save)
Zane drifts forward still flying until he's in reach of the cultist and he punches at him. Missing him wildly, most likely from being so focused on keeping himd focused on not losing selfcontrol.

Poisonous gas is poisonous, but Sesha just barely resists its effects. She was in a quandary. There wasn't a lot of need for her magic directly, and she can't do a lot about the deeper darkness, other than perhaps try to dispel it in general.

She moves to keep ahead of the wall.

Restlin presses his luck and moves forward managing to avoid the effects of the mist. He then directs his sword to attack the one cultist who is still a threat. In his haste Restlin sets off an an empowered disintegrate trap, luckily for the mage priest the green ray misses him by a hair. (25 vs touch; Restlin’s touch this round was 26...lucky)

Garret finds Restlin in his way so he instead calls out to Tink to let him know how her attempt goes.

Zane resists the effects of the poison from the spear tip but inhales the poison gas. He manages to resist the confusion effect and miss his target. Unfortunately for Zane he sets off another poison gas trap. Restlin and Garret need to make DC 36 Fort Saves or be infected by the new gas. Zane has to make DC 37 will saves each round and the duration of the confusion effect is now a minute and a half.

Wyaar fires off more arrows finishing off the remaining cultists.

Sesha tries to dispel the deeper darkness and succeeds

Beri manages to spot a few spear traps. There are magical traps nearby, but they all seem to have been disabled by the repeated disjunctions.

Bosk tries to slow the wall down by summoning a boat.

The wall advances 10 feet pushing the boat along. Now instead of being crushed by uncaring stone, you can be crushed by a smiling swan boat. Progress!

HP Tracker:

Cultist 1: dead
Cultist 2: dead
Cultist 3: dead
Cultist 4:dead

Cultists have an AC of 23

Within 10 feet of the wall you take 10d6 damage - half positive and half negative energy. Light is shed making the area normal light within 10 feet, even through magical darkness. Str check DC 24 to slow the wall down by 5 feet. It advances 10 feet per round.

"Pantheon's gilded gavel" It's about as close to a swear as Tink can get. "My dimensional step ability didn't work!. Going to have to get there the old fashioned way"

Tink will fly towards the door as best she can, avoiding the traps she detects. She'll call out to the others any traps she sees along the way, advising "don't step there", "go that way", "yep, that's good", and so on.

Restlin fingers a hole in his tunic where the disintegration beam hit. "That almost sucked. Good thing I'm me."

He moves forward, stepping over corpses and squeezing by Zane since he's pretty sure any traps there have already sprung. He through the gas cloud, but his luck's up and the gas does its thing (fort save 31 - fail). Crazy images start appearing, but Restlin's pretty good about seeing through nonsense (will save 41 - pass). He moves through the gas and steps into clean air.

Bosk looks at the approaching wall and weighs good options. Looking at the symbol he attempts to recall anything he can about turning the wall off. If nothing comes to mind he casts meld with stone on himself and looks for an internal shutoff or something in the far side of the wall. If that fails he tries to help with the wall (transmutation) and tried to disarm it. If that falls blink had a 50% chance of letting him pass through the wall.

Perception = 34
Spell Craft to disable the wall = 38
Blink if meld doesn't work = 78, fail, would get shunted to safety

Tink flies to the door and is able to avoid several traps, pointing them out along the way. She finds another large locked door like the previous one.

Zane shows off his linguistic prowess.

Garret proclaims he didn’t cause the gas and flyes onward.. Right into another spear trap and a Destruction trap. The spears he dodges easily, but he takes 190 damage from the destruction, fort save 33 to reduce it to 33.

Restlin advances, getting poisoned but able to ignore it.

Wyarr is able to ignore the gas.

Beri also advances looking for traps.

Bosk thinks about disabling the wall. Unfortunately he put a giant boat in front of it and can’t reach it to do anything to it not even really see much of it anymore.

The wall advances, shoving forward the boat, Sesha, and Bosk. Sesha passes over a trap that shoots her with poisoned spears; she takes 14 damage and has to save vs DC 30 fort to avoid being poisoned (1d6 con damage a round for 6 rounds, 2 successes to end)

Within 10 feet of the wall you take 10d6 damage - half positive and half negative energy. Light is shed making the area normal light within 10 feet, even through magical darkness. Str check DC 24 to slow the wall down by 5 feet. It advances 10 feet per round.

Tink takes out her tools and begins working on the door while advising the others to start rounding up corpses.

Sesha gets jabbed by the spear and then heals away the damage she sustained.

Zane grabs one of the corpses and asks for help while he’s lucid seeing that he is still under the effects of confusion.

Restlin casts detect magic and tries to determine if Zane’s confusion can be dispelled.

Bosk also starts rounding up bodies..

Wyaar knocks another arrow ready to shoot at something if it needs it.

Garret wonder's if Tink can get the door in time.

Zane wonders if he'll be able to counter the poison.

Sesha is ready to delay poison if it isn't otherwise cured.

Tink beats the door on the first try this time. With the door open and all the traps located the party is able to easily escape before being crushed , even recovering several corpses along the way.

A quick search of the corpses proves there isn’t much of value on them - just charred and destroyed items. The cultists likely had time to come back and take anything of value while setting up their trap for the Dragons.

On the other side of the door awaits yet more twisting corridors. The Caretaker reports via telepathy that you have several more levels to go before you reach the top.

Thank you for the update Caretaker. Are you able to detect if there are more anti-summoning fields ahead? And for that matter, is there a safer path we can be taking, or is this the only route to get to our missing friend? And is there a safe room to rest in at some point? The thought of several more levels makes me a little nervous.

With his permanent arcane sight, Restlin can probably make out any magic traps along the way. Really though, he's just a poor-man's Tink when it comes to trap finding. He keeps an eye out, but mostly stays out of her way and lets her do her thing.

At hearing they've a long way to go, he again questions the wisdom of this course of action. He says nothing, though. He hopes Agatha will appreciate this, but he knows better...

Wyaar looks ahead and asks if the trapfinders should be put in front.

Beri looks around for more traps, asking the caretaker if it can detect other anti-summoning fields.

Tink hypotheses that anti-summoned fields could be evidenced if the caretaker’s servants have disappeared anywhere. She ponders the wisdom of taking a breather while remaining vigilant for traps.

Zane hopes he remains in control of his actions until the confusion wears off

Garret offers to play trap sweeper and Wyaar encourages this idea

Restlin prepares to back up Tink with his permanent arcane sight, trying to remain out of her way. When he hears they still have a ways to go he ponders the wisdom in their course of action.

Bosk asks the caretaker about shortcuts and help with the cultists.

Beri asks the caretaker how far the next cultists are.

The caretaker says, “Servants have not been able to get past the trap hallway you are now clear of. It is unknown if there are other such areas beyond it. As far as shortcuts go, you are in a part of the tower that was fairly straight forward in its design as such you pretty much just have to go through the passages and star wells before you to get to your destination. Unfortunately the cultists have been able to neutralize what little assistance I could have brought.”

The party is unable to find any traps in this section of hallway.

Restlin concurs. "If we stop to rest, we've basically chosen the worst of all options available to us. We gotta keep moving." As he talks, he rummages around in his belt pouch, coming at last upon a small red bag that he hands to Garret. "Something to keep up your strength, dude. Try not to eat'em all in one bite."

Tink leads the way down the next corridor.

Zane encourages the others to press on.

Garret indicates he could stop for a snack but suggests Tink lead on just the same.

Restlin reasons that stopping is the worst possible decision they could make and reasons they got to keep moving. He gives some chocolate to Garret.

Wyaar proceeds along with the others arrow at the ready and eyes sharp.

Bosk follows on Tink heals, determined to provide her cover if they end up in another skirmish. (OOC: You rested right before starting the ascent to the tower. It took maybe an hour to follow Agatha’s trail, then a couple hours to ascend the first several floors to the trapped hallway (there were few things in the way so you advanced quickly))

Beri points out he should get his next elementals soon.
(OOC: Where is the portal the elementals spawn from? Per the spell no 2 elementals summoned from it can be more than 30 feet apart and you made the portal before the trapped hallway. How are the elementals going to overcome the corridor that is warded?)

The party presses onward. They ascend quickly with no resistance. Where before the cultists had cleared out most threats but had left behind some traps or monsters they merely avoided it quickly becomes apparent that there was a concentrated effort to clear these floors of dangers. Every trap is disarmed, every guardian construct or monster destroyed. At several points there is evidenced of hastily constructed defenses - stone shaped into cover and fortifications, half finished traps, even hastily scrawled, inactive wards.

Despite the and apparent preparations there is no sign of any cultists living or dead by the time the party is 3 floors from the top. An eerie stillness fills the empty corridors and twisting passages.

Glad we left when we did, can you picture going through two more floors of traps like that? And that was likely before they had completely retrapped the hallway we went through. I don't like this silence though, this doesn't feel like the other rooms.

Beri glances around for traps or signs of an ambush, along with signs that this room hasn't been warded against summoning.

Perception = 44

ooc: For the elemenatals, since they are earth they have earth glide... A burrowing earth elemental can pass through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except metal as easily as a fish swims through water. I believe that covers the walls of the tower and would provide ways to reach us if only the hallway was warded... if the entire tower has been warded it may be a moot point from that spell's perspective, but something your resident summoner really needs to know prior to being thrown into battle again.

Tink jests she cast Time Stop and cleared out the bad guys herself when no one was looking. She then tells the others she may need to ration her spells when next they encounter something.

Sesha pats Tink on the back saying she used hardly any

Zane offers he still has some hastes.

Restlin remarks it was nice of the cultist to do all the work for the party.

Garret eats chocolate as he moves along, thanking the mage priest and ending up with some chocolate goo on his hands.

Beri remarks he was glad they left when they did before the cultists had time to retrap the part of the tower they are traveling through now. (your elementals could pass the room by burrowing deep enough into the ground, but a couple hours passe and the spell ends before you find enemies)

The party proceeds through more empty halls and abandoned room. With no enemies to slow them down they proceed quickly to the next floor, ascending a large stairway.

At the top is a 200x200 room the cultists have clearly been living in. A huge alter dominates the area, bloody and surrounded by the symbology of the death cult. A living area sits on the far left, next to a training area and a dining area in the opposite corner. A library of some sort rests at the top of the room next to a laboratory filled with summoning circles and magical experiments.

Oh, and what looks like the entire cult is standing there in formation to greet the Dragon’s arrival. At least 100 people of all races stand there grimly, warriors clenching weapons, priests clutching holy symbols, and casters holding reagents. Great corpses, a mix of taur, ogre, and other large monsters, float to one side, hollowed out with souls screaming inside of exposed rib cages. Great iron constructs flank the other side, towering and many further enhanced by runic enchantments and weapons. Decrypted crones fill out the menagerie of horrors, cold and wielding wicked magics.

At the center of it all floats a tiny jeweled skull crowned by 10 jewels (Know Arcana DC 41 Highlight to display spoiler: { Apparently the leader of the Death Dragons is a demilich, and not the normal variety either but one of the awakened, possessing the benefits of the advanced decay of a demilich and the knowledge of spellcasting on par with the strongest of wizards. Oh and it can devour your souls if it wants to})

To the skulls right stand Agatha, Sprocket decked out in full cultist regalia. The look down on the Dragon’s cooly, with carefully neutral expressions. On it’s left stands an unknown Human, tall and wearing ornate robes.

The Skull speaks in a deep, feminine voice. ”So dragons, you have finally made it! I must say your eagerness to face us was flattering. But now you face the entire faith of the True Lord of Death. Not even-”

It’s speech is interrupted when the tall human shouts. ”Faithful of Kevintar strike! Now is the time to act, destroy the abominations! immediately followed by a spell targetting himself (spellcraft DC: 23Highlight to display spoiler: {Quickened Etherealness}) and (Spellcraft DC: 24: Highlight to display spoiler: {Power Word Kill}) targeting the demilich. The demilich resists the second spell and does not look happy.

Complete chaos instantly begins.

Complete chaos instantly begins.

The fighters all charge. They don’t spot Tink, but they swarm over Bosk, Zane, and "Garret. The front ones fly over them to provide a flanking bonus, one ones in back getting a charge boost. A few have to hover over the heads of them to get a hit in.

Bosk is attacked 12 times, 8 would have hit but he luckily goes ethereal causing 6 to miss. All 12 use their Lion’s Shield to try to bite him but none of them penetrate his armor. He takes a total of 36 damage.

Garret is attacked 3 times, but none are able to hit the agile monk.

Zane is also attacked thrice and hit twice for 44 damage.

The enemies that hit take damage from their vicious weapons. Bosk, Zane, and Garret get as many attacks of opportunity as they are capable of making (well up to 18, I doubt you can do that many though)

The monks split up; half charge the PC’s, half turn and charge the iron golems and devourers. Five fighters are hit by Stunning Fist but they all make the save. Only one monk hits a Devourer and none manage to damage the thick iron of the Golems.

The iron and rune golems start wailing on each other. The rune golems dish out far more than they take.

The Devourers cleave into the monks that dared attack them. All the monks are hit and take negative levels.

The 3 shadow clerics start casting spells.
(Will Save DC 22 : Highlight to display spoiler: { You see through the cleric that is there, it is an illusion; they must of used mislead }) (Perception: 60 Highlight to display spoiler: { You hear someone moving around near where the cleric is}) (True Seeing / See Invisibility : Highlight to display spoiler: { You see another cleric near where the double is})

The 3 death masters not to be outdone also start casting spells of their own as if choreographed their invocations all cause glowing spheres of cold energy to spring from their hands and land squarely among where the Dragons are gathered near exit to the stairs.

All Iron Dragons need to make the following:
(DC 19 Reflex Save or take 40 cold damage, only 20 on success)
(DC 19 Reflex Save or take 43 cold damage, only 21 on success)
(DC 19 Reflex Save or take 44 cold damage, only 22 on success)

The 3 Dwarf Clerics who are aligned with Kevintar charge the 3 death masters but all 3 of their attempted strikes with their warhammers miss their intended targets.

The 3 True Believers all advance towards the death masters casting implosion against them. 2 of the death masters manage to resist but the 1st one takes 190 points of damage as its body implodes in on itself in a sickening heap.

The 6 crone queens all cast bluish white rays 2 of which targets Garret, 3 of which target Bosk and 1 of which target Zane. Both rays miss Garret. 2 of the 3 rays strike Bosk (38, 31)(63 cold damage, 3 dex drain) (67 cold damage, 3 dex drain). A third would have hit Bosk if he didn’t blink out of sight at the right moment. The single ray misses Zane.

The Devoted Believers all unload on the Crones with Destruction. Crone 5 fails on SR and her save twice and is instantly consumed by holy fire. Several of the rest are heavily wounded, though two avoid the damage.

2 of the Arcane Acolytes take double move actions towards where the melee skirmish is happening. A third wanders towards the Devourers and crones

Meanwhile a 4th, 5th and 6th all move towards the areas where devoted monks are gathering and unleash fire storms on them. Some of the monks manage to avoid the fire storm entirely while others benefit from their improved evasion and only take half damage.

Arcane Acolytes 7, 8 9 and 10 all cast destruction against their devoted believer counter parts amongst the book shelves.

Sprocket whips out a quicken metamagic rod and goes ethereal himself. He then utters his own power word kill against the demilich. The demilich resists the power of Sprocket’s power word as well.

Agatha casts dimension door getting herself away from the Demilich

The demilich casts time stop gaining 3 extra rounds. It uses those rounds to summon an Ice Devil, and 2 Barbed Devils.

Friday February 22nd, 2019 2:40:01 AM

Sesha, shocked by the sudden intensity of this room, stumbles for a plan. She calls out over the rings.

"Who are we fighting here? Kevintaurs emergence is what we are trying to help, right? So that we can fight him? Do we really have to try and bring this thing to a tie?"

She adds a second later.

"Looks like summoning is a go in this room!"

Invisi-Tink grinds her teeth and squints at Agatha "Hey Restlin. Remember how neither of us completely liked Agatha? We should go with that sort of hunch from now on"

There sure are a lot of enemies though.

"Let's deal with the ones in front of us first and then take it from there I guess"

Tink tries to quietly (and sneakily) fly a little higher, say, 20ft in the air. She uses one of her Arcane Trickster Tricky Spells to cast a Still and Silent Repulsion spell.

AoO 5 : AC 34 Damage 32 + 11 Holy

Zane then acrobatics vertically and to the side just a bit, just out of reach of the fighters (37 Acrobatics) and while he's tumbling through the air he pulls out a meta-magic rod of lesser extend and proceeds to cast Haste of himself and his friends.

HASTE on Everyone 22 rounds.

Restlin scratches his head. "This is bananas..." he says to no one in particular. He starts to pace about. "I mean, are we supposed to kill all those guys?" The first ice ball explodes behind him, narrowly missing him. He paces the other direction "Are the Kevintar folks on our side? We're still trying to stop him at the end of the day." The second one explodes where he was standing just a moment ago. "Tink's right, though. No. More. Star Mages. I am so done with their nonsense."

The last cold explosion goes off harmlessly overhead.

OOC: All saves made + ring of evasion = 0 damage.

"Either way. We've got ourselves a target rich environment here." He grins and pulls out his maximize rod. He lets loose a chain lightning at one of the morons attacking our toughest members.

"Hey guys, at least two of those clerics are using mislead. Third one appears real, but I may be wrong..." Restlin can see invisible creatures just fine.

Know, Arcana: 56 - success

"And if you want some more bad news, the lich over there is awakened. If it asks to borrow your soul, you should say no."

***

Maximized chain lighting starts at zealous fighter #8 and hits every single one of the bastards, PLUS monk #1. 102 damage. Reflex DC for half damage is 36 for the first dude, and 34 for the rest. SR check is 27.

Move: Mosey closer to Sesha, cause why not?

Garret stands and stares as the total chaos unfolds. He ducks under the ice balls and yells out, "What in the Wold is going on here?" Then the fight starts and he spins and slaps the row of fighters in front of him, splattering chocolate on each of them. He finishes his spin and decides to try and take care of the one left in front of him, flipping and kicking it over and over again.

(I cant really see the map at all. It's super zoomed in from what I can tell?)

Sesha has little trouble resisting all the spells coming her way, but the worst part is that they still hurt!

(everyone without evasion should have taken about 60 damage!)

She doesn't waste time with a smaller heal, and casts a cure critical wounds spell targeting the dragons.

(all dragons heal 83 hp!)

After that, she focuses, and casts Time Stop, gaining some extra time to set her defenses in order!

Base Round: Standard Action - Cure Critical Mass.
Time Stop 1: Death Ward
Time Stop 2: Greater Immortal Summons
Time Stop 3: Anti-life shell
Time Stop 4: Stoneskin

ooc: What is the SR for the attacks against us?

3 reflex saves made for vs Death Masters. 2 Missed due to blink. 21 Cold dmg taken
Each of the physical attack's damage is reduced by 10 due to Bosk being an outsider. Your rolls are confusing, but I don't think that was already subtracted. if it was I will add an additional 20 dmg.

Nope, all three of them are. I can see through the 1st and 3rd...and I am willing to take your word on the second one.

Bosk is suddenly hit by a wave of attacks, fortunately his reflexes and blinking save him from certain death...(274 damage dealt before modifiers, and another 7 attacks missed from blinking)...still, the damage he recieves is enough to trigger his contingency spell and a wave of positive energy washes over him as Cure Critical wounds is cast followed shortly after by Sesha's healing spell. I was hoping to hold onto that contingency spell a bit longer...the cleric mutters as he goes Ethereal.

He then casts a quickend see invisibility spell on himself and uses a hero point to case Heal from a scroll and restores himself to full health and dexterity.

Actions
------------------------------------
AoO 1: Hit AC 25 for 13dmg+15sneak=28dmg
AoO 2: Hit AC 36 for 15dmg+19sneak=34dmg
AoO 3: Hit AC 36 for 17dmg+9sneak=26dmg
AoO 4: Hit AC 35 for 15dmg+13sneak=28dmg

Standard Action - Darkwalk (SU)
Swift Action - Quickened See Invisibillity
Hero Point - Cast Heal from a scroll

Darkwalk (SU): The grim can partly or completely enter the Realm of Shadow, for a duration of one minute per level per day. This duration may be used all at once or in separate blocks, though any use rounds up to the nearest full minute. To do this, a Grim must make a DC 10 check, adjusted up by +2 for every person that the grim brings along, using either their Concentration Check (including Combat Casting), or 2x their Grim Levels as a modifier. Only willing people can be brought along, and only if they are all holding hands; those with the grim must make a Will save vs DC 20 or take 1d6 points of temporary Con damage as they enter the Realm of Shadows. Those accompanying the grim automatically return to the Wold when the grim does. A failed check uses up a one-minute block for the day.

At 2nd level, the grim can partly enter the Realm of Shadows, gaining concealment, a 20% miss chance, a +2 resistance bonus to saves, and a +8 bonus to Stealth checks.

Sesha is taken aback by the suddenness of the conflict in the chamber. She asks whose side are they on since they ostensibly want to free Kevintar so they can stop him later.

Invisi-Tink grinds her teeth. She points out that Restlin and herself never really trusted Agatha and then focuses on the enemies in front of her. She gains a little height before casting a silent, stilled repulsion.

Zane uses his attacks of opportunities against the on-rushing fighters. He drops fighter 17 and then hastes himself and his friends.

Restlin remarks to the rest of the dragons that things are bananas. He too wonders which side they are on, filling his friends on the mislead and the demilich. He then drops a maximized chain lighting. All the fighters get fried but aside the one that Zane had already downed they are all still kicking. Monk 1 still manages to avoid some of the bolt.

Garret wonders what is going on in the room and then starts attacking the fighters. He kills 4 fighters with his AOOS then takes out Fighter 8 with 2 quick strikes, Fighter 7 with 4 strikes and fighter 18 with the rest.

Bosk takes a turn to go ethereal and heal himself up.

Wyarr buffs himself.

Singed but still up, the fighters continue to assault the Dragons. ”Forget the front line, kill the healer!” a burley half orc says. They all take 5 foot steps up and away from the party before pulling out hand axes and throwing them at Sesha. She’s hit 8 times for 48 damage. Zane gets attacks of opportunity since he has reach (does Bosk? He’s ethereal).

The monks continue to focus fire the Warriors and they manage to kill #10. The monk that got hit with lightning makes an extremely rude gesture at Restlin, but otherwise focuses on finishing off the warrior. The other monks fighting the giant undead can’t penetrate their thick hides and only two do any damage. The ones fighting the Iron Golems hit, but don’t beat the DR.

The Iron and Rune golems continue to smash each other. The iron golems manage to land several good hits this time, but the Rune ones are clearly stronger.

The Devourers continue to cleave down all but 1 of the monks fighting them, undead talons tearing through soft flesh.

The Devoted Believers apparently decide the battlefield is not crowded enough and summon 26 Celestial Gryphons to join the battle.

Shadow Clerics 1, 2 and 3 all send black rays at Garret but the nimble monk easily dodges them.

The 2 death masters still fighting cast 2 flame strikes this time catching Tink, Garret, Zane and Bosk in the cylinders of flame. (DC 20 reflex or take 59 damage; 29 on success; half is flame; half is unholy flame meaning only half is subject to fire reduction)

The 3 dwarf clerics continue to press the attacks on the death masters and continue to miss.

The five remaining crones all unload on Garret with ice missiles (like magic missile but deals cold damage that can’t be reduced; (21, 19, 16 cold damage)

The arcane acolytes that advanced towards the fighters both cast firestorm. Between the 2 of them they manage to target all the monks. Some monks avoid the blast entirely while others only take some of the damage. The arcane acolyte that moved toward the devourers and crones cast mass flight giving them flying.

Arcane acolytes 4, 5 and 6 all launch destruction spells at the devoted believers in the bookshelves.

Arcane acolytes 7, 8, 9 and 10 all cast spiritual weapon targeting the one remaining devoted believer still standing in the book shelves dealing 49 damage from 5 hits.

Sprocket uses his arcane bond to recast power word kill against the lich. The lich makes the save again.

The unknown blood witch uses another power word kill against the lich and the lich also resists this attempt too.

Agatha hits the nearest devourer with a disintegrate.

The demilich flies forward a little and says, “You’ll be trouble little monk” and targets Garret with its Devour Soul ability. Garret must make a DC 25 fort save or find his soul trapped within a gem inset in the demilich’s skull. If Garret succeeds he takes 2 negative levels.

The Demilich’s Ice Devil teleports itself closer to Agatha.

The Demilch’s barbed devils fire off scorching rays at 2 of the Kevintar’s faithful

Some of the bystanders around the edge of the fight join in.

A group of halfling monks who apparently thought eating was more important than the battle get up incensed that their dinner was ruined by a sudden rain of fire. They move towards the bookshelves but don’t make it to any targets.

A bunch of dozing warriors wake up in confusion and attack the newly created summons. They manage to quickly dismiss two of them.

The monks and fighters in the training room decide they don’t want to get involved in this craziness and back up.

"Celestial Griffons? The Devoted Believers must be good natured!" Tink mentally alerts the others "Try not to target them just yet if it can be helped. They may be allies"

Tink is reluctant to bring any more creatures onto the battlefield. Things are already quite packed as it is and the things she wants to summon won't be able to maneuver let along move.

Tink casts a Greater Invisibility spell on herself and moves to make way for the others to push through.

----------------------
Ref Save vs DC20: 42 = Pass. Evasion means no damage.
Ref Save vs DC20: 40 = Pass. Evasion means no damage.

Standard: Cast Greater Invisibility
Move: Use stealth to fly east. Stealth = 58 + 20 Moving Invisibile = 78 + HiPS, Pass Without Trace, Mind Blank

Symbol of Weakness: Anything approaching within 60ft of Tink to make a Fort Save vs DC24 or take 3d6*1.5 Str Damage.

Garret watches the bad guys drop all around him in surprise. He mumbles, “What are these things, cannon fodder?” He can hear the fighting and chanting of magical stuff filling the room. He ducks as the three black rays fly past him. He steps to the side as massive pillars of flame smack into the ground around him. He shudders as bolts of cold slap into him. He looks around and says, “What? Who did that?” He doesn’t see the enemy but thinks he spots some halflings with food. Before he can head off in that direction his soul gets sucked on. He feels a little green and again says, “Wait, who did THAT?” Then Tink calls out about avoiding attacking someone. He yells back, “Don’t attack who, now? If they attack me, I attack them, that seems fair!”

With that, he takes a step forward and starts spinning and kicking anyone in range…

OOC:

Hit AC/Dam: 44/51 40/24 30/20 47/24 43/21 44/25 37/27 42/18

Garret does have spell resistance, 29, I’m not sure if that means anything to these guys, but I thought I’d mention it, especially with that attack from the lich thing.

DC 20 Reflex save x2 (flame strikes): 48, 42 evasion = no damage
DC 25 Fort save vs lich thing: 46 success, 2 negative levels

In effect:
Haste

Zane starts on 14 and will move up in number as they drop with AoO.

AoO 1 AC 35 Damage 29 + 6 holy
AoO 2 AC 27 Damage 22 + 7 holy
AoO 3 AC 23 miss
AoO 4 AC 38 Damage 27 + 6 holy
AoO 5 AC 32 Damage 25 + 3 holy

Zane auto passes the Reflex save and with Evasion, takes no damage from the AoE's.

With the magic that's being tossed around, Zane decides a little extra protection might be useful, he throws a Spell Resistance Spell up on himself, gaining SR 23, it's not much but it might help.

Effects other than standard:

Haste 21 round left
SR 23 11 minutes

The storm giant appears in the midst of unorganized chaos, his eyes wide at the chaos before him.
After taking a second to survey who the good guys and who the bad guys are, he send out a chain lightning attack, hitting all standing fighters/warriors that are attacking the dragons for 66 damage each (are the labels on the map different? I don't see warriors, but I think it's clear I'm attacking the things attacking us). Should there be less than 5 fighters/warriors standing he will hold off on using this attack.

***Storm Giant***
Storm Giant- hp 237 (199 +38 augmented summoning): +4 to constitution and strength

Beri double checks that he is floating 5 feet above the others. He then calls forth a lightning storm.

ooc: Am I the B block in the back?
Also, would it be possible to mark in the legend which figures are attacking the iron dragons and which appear to be on our side?

ooc: Treat Bosk's Dark Walk as concealment, only partially entering the shadow realm.
ooc2: Does Bosk's see invisibillity reveal anything? If so I announce it to the group.
ooc3: I updated my AC. I either never updated it after my armor upgrade way back when, or I forgot to remove a penalty from a previous battle. It is also being effected by 2 spells.

Bosk swings his sword and realizes he needs a little more help if he is going to be effective in this combat. I swear by Gargul's Unblinking Eye that we will stop you. I call upon the sufferings of all you have wronged and those you have killed and offer them up to Jancassis, that she might bathe in your blood as I extract their vengeance from your blackened souls! I AM GARGUL'S PALADIN OF THE DEAD! I am THE GRIM AVENGER!

ooc: If you will let me, I would like the target of me vengeance on all of our enemies, the death dragons and the true believers, as they are both trying to change the balance of the Wold (It also allows me to justify ignoring those that surrender or are helpless after the battle. I did not use this before, because Bosk only uses it when undead like liches become involved or directly asked by a spirit to get vengeance on their behalf. If I must choose a side, I will get vengeance on the Lich's group)

Reflex Save = 25, Pass for 1/2dmg = 29dmg/2 for blinking = 15dmg

Sesha - 202/202. AC 38 
Tuesday February 26th, 2019 1:39:19 AM

Sesha feels heavy thuds as the axes chip away at her stoneskin. With so much happening, she wasn't going to leave a lot to chance. Sesha had never cast this spell before, and well, she just hoped neither Gargul or Bosk were paying a whole lot of attention.

Calling at the power in her blood, the Woldsblood which she needed to craft her magic, she tears open a swirling vortex in the air above the altar. Rusty red drops of woldsblood gush down, drenching those beneath.

Standard: Cast Forbidden Rain.

Area: 40ft Cylinder.
Range: 400ft.
SR: No.

All creatures starting their turn, ending their turn, or moving though the 40ft vortex must make a saving throw DC 10+ their own HD. Fail = Dazed and d3 wis and con damage.

All creatures anywhere within 50ft of the boundy of the vortex must make the same save, but are only dazed on failure and take no damage.

Undead save at -5. Constructs are unaffected.

(put a cylinder on the map.)

Sesha Witchfire casts invisibility on Sesha.

Tink makes an observation that the devoted believers are good natured and asks that they not be targeted. She then goes greater invisible.

Garret watches as the bad guys drop all around him. He ducks the 3 black rays, he avoids the fire pillars, takes the cold missiles and then resists his soul being sucked out but still takes the negative levels. He asks Tink who she means and then wades into the monks surrounding the dragons. He kills 2 of them.

Zane drops 2 of the fighters with his AOOs and then grants himself spell resistance.

Beri’s giant Chain Lightning’s the fighters which finishes off all but 3. Beri himself calls up a Lightning Storm. (Mass confusion is the name of the game, that’s why it isn’t already marked who’s on what side. The fighters/warriors are the brown dots on the map. You are the small B, Bosk is the large one)

Wyarr unloads on the Lich hitting twice.

Bosk goes all vengeance on them

[/b] Sesha[/b] rains on the bad guy’s parade.

The 3 shadow clerics all unload on Sesha with their crossbows at the directive to go after the healer. All 12 bolts miss Sesha.

Death Master #1 shoots a lightning bolt through Griffons 1 and 8, Monk 6 and 7 and Bosk, Zane and Beri. All need to make a DC 16 Reflex Save or take 30 electricity damage. The Gryphons and the monks manage to avoid some of it.

Death Master #2 drops a stilled fireball within the midst of the Griffons 12, 15 and Devoted Believers 1, 2 ,3, 11, 12 ,13.
Gryphon 12 tales the full force and gets pretty beat up by it.
Gryphon 15 takes half the force and only gets partially singed
Devoted Believers 1,2 and 3 take half damage
Devoted Believers 11, 12 and 13 take full damage

Death Master 3 runs over and heals the lich 39 HP.

The 3 dwarf clerics continue to attack the Death masters. 3 of the attacks hit but one scores a critical hit for 17 damage and the stored hold person discharges but the Death Master resists the spell.

The crones decide to switch targets using the ice missile spell like ability against Sesha this time (like magic missile but do cold damage but can’t be reduced (14,16,16,16,17)

The Profane acolytes near the monks unload with flame strikes.

Gryphon 11, 24, 9, 25; Monks 23 and 24 are affected by 1. 2 of the Gryphons perish one of the Monks avoids it entirely.

Monks 4,5,7,9,6,10 are affected by another but any monk standing prior to the attack is still standing now.

The Profane acolyte near the crones flame strikes the gryphons himself.

Gryphons 1, 9, 2 and 8 are hit with a cylinder of flames and some of them die.

Arcane acolytes 4, 5 and 6 also open up with flame strikes at the Gryphons / Monks.
3 of the Gryphons die in the first fiery cylinder. 3 of the gryphons die in the second fiery cylinder. Only one of the monks is even affected by the 3rd cylinder.

Profane Acolyte 7 casts righteous might on himself.

Profane Acolyte 8 attempts a slay living against devoted believer 14 and devoted believer takes 59 damage dying.

Profane Acolyte 9 attacks monk 31 and Arcane Acolyte 10 attacks 33 with scythes.
Monk 31 gets hit twice once a critical and the second a normal strike for 56 total damage

Sprocket uses a teleport to get near where the party is, he is still ethereal.

Agatha tries to dispel the Ice Devil and succeeds at sending it back where it came from.

The Unknown Bloodwitch tries another Power Word Kill. The lich fails to resist this time taking 50 damage.

The demilich says, “Attack my devourers! Tear the betrayers and Dragons to pieces!”

She then fires off a maximized empowered enervation ray at Wyaar (34 vs 20; Wyaar takes 6 temporary negative levels)

The barbed devils continue to pepper the dwarf cleric with scorching rays

The last three Fighters full attack Wyarr since he’s conveniently close to them. Fortunately his tough armor saves him from several potentially nasty hits (almost crit multiple times!) and he is only hit twice for 33 damage. The backlash from their weapons kills one of them. The remaining two use a free action to have their shields bite at Wyarr but those also fail to penetrate his armor.

As Garrett kills some of the monks they looked shocked. ”Same team, same team!” one yells and they all back away from the Dragons.

One, however, is instead enraged at the death of her comrade and he does his best to beat Garrets skull in. She fails miserably, doing no damage.

The monks attacking the Iron Golems realize they’re doing nothing and withdraw. Two are close enough to take 5 foot steps and make full attacks on a Shadow Cleric doing 34 damage. The one fighting the Devourers realizes he’s dead and makes one last futile barrage against it.

Two of the halfling monks move into the bookshelves and attack a Shadow Cleric. One hits and tries to stun but the save is made. The others decide to go for the Ice Devil and Devourer and one hits for 10 damage.

Devourer 4 pokes at the last remaining monk and sucks out his soul. It’s dragged screaming into it’s rib cage. The other three move to tear into the clerics near the rest area. Various other Devourers become active, three moving towards some True Believers and getting a hit in, three others tearing a few Gryphons in twain, and a final one tears apart a monk that attacked it.

The golems continue to pound each other. One of the iron golems looks like it might finally fall in a round or two.

The devoted believers channel energy into the devourers, seeking to destroy them or drive them away. All 4 within 30 feet are incinerated.

The Gryphons all attack various Fighters, but only 1 hits.

I read Mitch's posting time as 12PM, not AM, and thought I could post this morning. My apologies. That's all on me.

***

Restlin shakes his head clear. There was just too much going on. "Ok everyone, COOL IT!" he shouts, and time comes crawling to a stop.

OOC: Boosting time stop with luck points. 8 rounds of stopped time.

Round 1: Mislead on self
Round 2: Repulsion on self. Anyone trying to come closer to Restlin within 170' must make a DC 36 will save. SR check is 41.
Round 3: Secret spell
Round 4: Secret spell - I'm emailing my fellow players what these spells are. Since all enemies are frozen in time, it stands to reason none of them are able to identify them being cast.
Round 5: Mage's sword on the demilich. Will roll when time is started up again.
Round 6: Summon Astral Deva
Round 7: Summon Lillend Azata
Round 8: Restlin nods, then walks back outside the entrance, finds someplace cozy, sits down, and casts magic jar.

When time restarts, Restlin's illusionary double is there making arcane gestures and looking serious, but he's gone.

His mage's sword slashes at the demilich, hitting AC 49 for 19 damage. SR check is 28.

The lillend drops some sick beats. (Inspire courage - +2 to attack/damage rolls and saves vs charm/fear).
The deva flies over and whollops the demilich with his disrupting warhammer, hitting AC 48 for 23 damage. The demilich must make a DC14 will save or be destroyed.

Meanwhile, Restlin's body is cozy outside and his soul is in a gem, waiting to try and cause a ruckus on the battlefield.

Garret stops, surprised that someone is on their side. He holds his hands up and defends against the monk attacking him, saying, "Whoa, whoa! I have meat."

Zane casts Stoneskin on himself, then uses a Hero point to cast Form of the Dragon 2, transforming into a Large Bronze Dragon. (same size)
He then flies out into the room, "Monks, if you arn't going to attack me, move away from the alter, it's a bad place to be....."

While the battle unfolds around her, Sesha takes a moment to herself. She identifies the Ice Devil, and casts Banish Immortal.

Restlin time stops and runs off, leaving behind an illusion.

Garret tries to make peace with meat.

Zane is unimpressed by the enemy’s lightning bolt, turns into a dragon, and suggests the monks avoid the center of the room.

Wyarr wards himself and flies forward.

Beri sends a lightning bolt to finish a fighter off while his giant casts Call Lightning.

Bosk restores Wyarr’s lost levels.

Tink tries to trip the litch. However it is a floating magical skull so she mostly just makes it spin around a little and look vaguely annoyed.


DM Mitch 
Wednesday February 27th, 2019 7:16:40 AM
Fighter 6 chase Wyarr and pummel him again. He hits twice, doing 44 damage and killing himself with his weapons backlash.

Fighter 24 kills another gryphon and 25 wounds another. The other four kill two of the Devoted Believers.

The monks around the Dragons move off in the general direction of the altar, ready to jump on the crones next round.

Garrett’s offer of meat just seems to enrage Monk 12 even farther and she continues attacking him. She fails to hit him at all though (no nat 20’s this round XD)

The monks that were formerly eating move towards the bookshelves. The one already in the bookshelves only manages 6 damage to the caster and the other two do nothing to the devourer.

The golems continue to pound each other. One finally falls, #4. A ghostly figure emerges from it and glares balefully about the room.

The Devourers in the back target nearby gryphons and kill two. One hits a devoted believer. Another cleaves into some monks. The two in the rain are dazed.

The Devoted Believers move away from the fighters and cast Anti-life shell.

The Gryphons attack but fail to do anything meaningful.

They dybbuks in the ritual area finally seem to react to the battle. They start hovering in the general direction of the party.

Shadow Cleric One peels off and channels 26 negative energy into the Demilich.
Shadow Cleric Two does the same and channels 22 negative energy into the Demilich
Shadow Cleric Three starts summoning wasp swarms in the spaces occupied by the true believers.

Death Master 1 casts Flame Strike on the Devoted Believers 2,3,4,5 and 10 dealing 48 to one of them and 24 to the other 4.

Death Master 2 does the same targeting the same Believers. 2 pass the save for 28 damage the other fail and take 56 each. Believer 4 dies.

Death Master 3 also drops a flame strike on 2,3,5 and 10. 2 fail and 2 succeed. The ones that fail take 65 and the ones that save take 32. Believers 2 and 3 also die.

Two of the Dwarf Clerics try to banish the Barbed Devils and succeed. Both Barbed devils summons are now gone.

The 3rd Dwarf Cleric uses stilled dimension door to get near the true believers

2 of the Crones manage to pull themselves out of their stupor while the other 3 are still trapped by the wolds blood rain.

The 2 Crones that can now move unload ice missiles at Wyaar (magic missiles that do cold damage that cannot be reduced for 19 and 17 damage)

Profane Acolyte 1 moves towards Garret and tries to hit him with a Harm spell but woefully fails.

Profane Acolyte 2 moves towards Zane also casting Harm and misses as well.

Profane Acolyte 3 moves towards the Devoted believer 1 and tries to cast Harm on him, succeeding in hitting him in a vulnerable area for 300 points of damage instantly slaying him.

Profane Acolyte 4, 5 and 6 all turn ethereal and move

Profane Acolyte 7 moves towards his master, ready to heal him.

Profane Acolyte 8, 9, and 10 cast Harm on nearby monks and a Devoted Believer, killing them.

Sprocket moves, drops his etherealness, quickly casts a spell that causes the message to flash in the air between him and the horned cleric “Take this sword and use it to kill the lich” at Bosk holding out a large sword that is as big as the silent gnome himself is.

Agatha fires off another disintegrate this time targeting the nearest profane acolyte but the acolyte saves taking only 17 damage

The unknown bloodwitch tries another power word kill against the lich. The lich saves and does not take damage this time.

The lich saves vs the rain and moves out of the storm.

The lich then uses Horrid Wilting targetting the whole party. (Everyone takes 66 damage, DC 29 fort save for only 33; spell overcomes SR 34)

**Restlin attacked the demilich w/ a mage's sword last round. Did it beat its SR and harm it? Also didn't see any mention of the deva's attack.

Restlin is vaguely aware of some dehydration, but can't feel it due to being inside a gem at the moment.

Fort save: 31

He focuses his consciousness around the altar, looking for the beefiest soul he can find. He can detect a difference of up to 4HD. When he finds one, he hopes its a bad guy and tries to take over its body.

Meanwhile, his lillend azata mosies over and stretches out her tail, casting CSW on Garret for 24 damage. She continues her song as she does so.

The deva casts holy aura on himself.

***

Full round action: Try to force most powerful soul he can find around the altar into the magic jar and take over its body. Will save DC to resist is 44. Overcomes SR 45.

Active spells:

Restin's AC is 14/6/14 - let's home no one finds him.

Garret’s eyes blur for a moment as he is hit with the magical wilting quickly followed by magical healing. He mumbles something about magic and then focuses on the angry monk next to him. He jams the meat in his mouth and figures he has to get rid of the distraction, but still doesn’t want to kill her. He flurries again, but this time just trying to knock the monk out for now.

OOC:
DC 29 fort save vs Wilting: 35 success, 33 damage; +24 healing from lilly

Sesha tries to banish the ice devil. Between here and the npcs all devils and demons are gone.

Restlin’s sword is unable to penetrate the lich’s damage reduction

If the Horrid Wilting hit Zane it would miss most of the rest of the party due to the range restriction of the spell. Zane is glad to have it hit him, if it'll miss most of the rest of the party.
Save v Horrid Wilting 35, if the spell hit Zane then Current HP = 203

Zane moves further and unleashes his breath weapon, hitting the first Crone and targeting the point where the 3 fighters are standing. So the line should hit all 3 crone and all 3 fighters. (probably hits devoted believer 13 too)

Lightning Breath, 28 Damage Ref save DC 21 for half.

Bosk quickly looks at Sproket and the sword to determine it is safe and (assuming it is) nods as he grabs the sword form Sproket. I will put it to good use. He then tells the others that he is using Dimensional Door to travel over to the lich and that all those interested should grab on. A moment later he is floating just above the liches head and uses a quickend true strike spell to hit the lich.

Restlin tries to use magic jar against the crowd at the altar and ends up taking possession of one of the Crone Queens in the Wold’s Blood Rain.

Garret takes the wilting and then the healing and then nonlethally flurries at the monk trying to knock her out. He succeeds.

Zane moves up and unleashes his breathe weapon against the Crones (including Restlin) and the fighters.

Wyaar launches another volley of arrows at the demilich. He hits with a bunch of them massively damaging it. (Everything in the entire battlefield is flying; they used mass flight repeatedly before combat started)

Tink spots out the ethereal targets and trips a crone. Unfortunately it’s the one Restlin just possessed. (I changed the number to an R so everyone knows from now on)

Beri’s giant attacks the nearest profane acolyte for 101 damage total on 2 of the 3 attacks. His lightning does 27 damage to Fighter 22 (I think that’s who you meant?) He asks the monks who’s on what side. Unfortunately the nearest one is 75 feet away and cannot hear him over the pitched battle. (great idea, but get in talking range first XD)

Bosk takes the proffered sword and teleports to the lich (don’t forget to save vs sesha’s rain)

Restlin-Crone has to make a DC 21 Reflex save or take 28 electricity damage; he only takes half on success.

The fighters realize the Gryphons are no real threat and move up to throw axes at Devoted Believer 13.

The monks pile onto the Dybbuks and Acolytes moving past, but they don’t have ghost touch and all of the targets are incomporeal or ethereal.

The Devourers in the rain try to save. One makes it, the other fails. The one that succeeded exits the area.

The rest target rebelling cultists. A Monk dies. Two fail to hit a True Believer. The last ignores the Anti-life shell around a Devoted Believer and kills him.

The remaining rune golems take some hits before destroying the Iron Golems. Dybbuks fly out of the remains.

The last 3 devoted believers move forward and channel energy into Crones 1 and two.

The summoned gryphons continue to fail at everything.

Shadow Cleric 1 unloads on Sesha with 3 crossbow bolts missing on all three.
Shadow Clerics 2 and 3 are dazed by the wold’s blood rain.

Death Master 1 fires off another flame strike targetting Devoted Believers 5, 9, 10 Kevintar’s Faithful 3 and Gryphon 7
2 of the 3 devoted believers and the Gryphon take full damage. Kevintar’s Faithful and the last Devoted Believer takes half. The believers and the Gryphons that take full damage die.

Death Master 2 tosses a fire ball targetting devoted believers 6, 7, 8 and 9. Devoted Believer 6 dies.

Dwarf Cleric 1 attempts a mass hold person on fighters 20, 21, 22 and 23. Fighters 20 and 22 are now paralyzed.

Dwarf Cleric 2 attempts to dominate the nearby deathmaster and fails.

Dwarf Cleric 3 attacks Fighter 19 with his hammer missing both times.

One of the Crones is possessed by Restlin, One of the Crones is still dazed by the Wold’s Blood. The 2 Crones that pride themselves away from the Wold’s Blood last round fire off ice missiles targetting Devoted believer 9.

Profane Acolyte 1 tries to hit Garret with a nasty disease but fails to touch the nimble monk.

Profane Acolyte 2 quickly casts dispel good then wanders over to where the lillend it is. It tries to banish her with a melee touch and he succeeds (30 vs touch)

Profane Acolyte 3 casts poison against Kevintar’s Faithful 1 but the spell is resisted.

Profane Acolytes 4, 5 and 6 all move ethereally

Profane Acolyte 7 takes a double move to get closer to the lich.

Profane Acolytes 8 9 and 10 all cast ethereal jaunt on themselves and move.

Sprocket waves at a series of statues along the walls and they come to life.

Agatha casts mage’s lucubration to get a disintegrate back

The unknown bloodwitch tries one last power word kill against the demilich. The demilich fails to resist taking 50 damage and is destroyed. The tiny flying skull splits in 2 and crashes to the ground, inert. (Know Arcana DC 41: Highlight to display spoiler: { To permanently destroy a demilich, holy water must be poured over its remains within the area of a hallow spell. To complete the destruction, holy word or dispel evil must be cast. If the caster succeeds at a caster level check with a DC equal to 10 + the demilich’s Hit Dice, the demilich is permanently destroyed.})

Dybbuk 1 takes a double move action.

Dybbuk 2 flies over to Bosk and tries to do a pain touch against him. The bad touch hits and the horned cleric is wracked with pain (36 vs touch; 28 damage)

Dybbuk 3 flies over to Beri’s Storm Giant and tries to do the same thing but fails to touch the giant.

Dybbuk 4 does something to Monk 26.

Dybbuk 5 takes a double move action..

Restlin finds himself in the body of a crone queen.

"Gross!" he laughs, then slashes at the nearby shadow cleric with his new claws.

The deva takes a step, then unloads on the nearby devourer.

Zane barely makes the save vs the Rain of Wold'sblood.
He drifts 5 feet with his hovering and attacks the Profane Acolytes. Starting on #4 then moving to #5 if kills the first
Zane's attacks are ghost touch, so hitting shouldn't be too much of a problem....

Bosk watches as the Lich is slain and moces over to the crones and continues to fight. Once again, if he sees anything invisible moving around he will relay the location to the group.

Actions:
Miss chance for blink= hits
Miss chance for concealment= 80, attack against Bosk misses.
Will Save vs Rain = 34, pass.

Bosk moves closer to the crone and attacks crone queen #4
Hit AC45 for 14dmg +15 sneak = 29dmg (I did not add any weapon bonuses because I didn't know specifics. Note that Bosk is flanking with Restlin.

That lich went down rather easily however Tink isn't going to complain.

She tries to telekinetically reach out and grapple one of those pesky crones

Standard action: Telekinesis to grapple a crone. CMB:44. SR:38.

Highlight to display spoiler: {Sorry DMs. I've been kind of winging this. I'm color-blind and can't tell good guys from bad guys on the map. Please take your pick of a crone and have Tink attempt to grapple it. Any one will do}

Bosk makes his save versus the rain.

Garret gestures for the acolyte to come a little bit closer when it tries to touch him and then flurries, slaying the acolyte.

Restlin finds himself in the body of a crone queen and then unleashes his claws against the nearby shadow cleric. He kills it with negative levels.
His Deva unloads on a devourer hitting with all 3 attacks but the Devourer is immune to the stunning effect.

Zane starts attacking the profane acolytes in his path. He kills acolyte 4 and wounds acolyte 5

Wyaar unloads arrows on the 2 crone queens near him. He destroys Crone Queen 1 with his first arrow, then moves onto Crone Queen 2 but he only severely wounds her.

Beri has his summons attack the Dybbuks but they’re incorporeal and take no damage. The lightning bolts are more effective, doing half damage to 3.

Bosk hits a Crone Queen and notices his weapon definitely has a powerful enchantment; it strikes more quickly and harder than even his steelgrass sword.

Tink manages to grapple crone 2. (you should have mentioned something sooner; I’ll put an E next to the number of characters the party has identified as an enemy)


DM Mitch 
Friday March 1st, 2019 7:55:23 AM
The fighters pile onto bosk since he’s gotten close. 4 hit (I rolled for blinking) and they do 113 damage.

The monks and iron golems pile onto the nearby profane acolytes. One monk splits off and moves towards the party. A few others target a nearby crone.

The Dybbuks surround Garret and try to touch him, but he’s to swift. Three others go for zane who takes 49 damage.

A devourer goes for Bosk, but misses. The other’s go for True Believers.

The Devoted Believers move towards their monk allies. One channels energy into the three nearby to heal them.

Death Master 1 moves near the monks and then casts unholy blight dealing 20 damage and threatening sickness for 1 round on Monks 3,6,7,8,9,10,11,21. Monks 6 and 7 take full damage and are sickened the rest of the monks only take half damage.

Death Master 2 casts slay living on Bosk but his touch attack misses its mark.

Shadow Cleric 1 casts implosion targetting Bosk. (Bosk must make a DC 25 Fort Save or take 180 points of damage as his body starts collapsing in on itself; Bosk takes nothing on a successful save)

Shadow Cleric 2 is still dazed by the rain.

Dwarf Cleric 1 attacks profane acolyte 3 with his warhammer, missing twice.
Dwarf Cleric 2 attempts to dominate profane acolyte 7 but acolyte 7 resists
Dwarf Cleric 3 shoots a crossbow bolt at profane acolyte 3 also missing.

Crone Queen 4 is still dazed by the rain.
Crone Queen 2 is the only Crone Queen still able to act normally it moves closer to Devoted Believers 7 and 8 and uses frost fall against them. The believers take minimum damage and are not staggered.

Profane Acolyte 2 moves towards Garret and attempts give him the plague but he misses Garret.

Profane Acolyte 3 casts greater command against Kevintar’s Faithful 1 but Kevintar’s Faithful 1 resists.

Profane Acolyte 5 casts spiritual weapon against Zane but the quarterstaff of force misses.

Profane Acolyte 6 casts spiritual weapon against Zane but his quarterstaff misses too.

Profane Acolyte 7 casts dispel good and moves towards the deva.

Profane Acolyte 8, 9 and 10 take double move actions

Sprocket fires off a disintegrate at Death Master 1. He critically hits the death master with the ray causing him to disintegrate.

Agatha fires off her own disintegrate at Death Master 2, the green ray hits, he fails to resist and takes 121 damage

The Unknown Bloodwitch moves, dismisses his etherealness and then casts Irresistable Dance on Profane Acolyte 9. Profane Acolyte 9 starts dancing uncontrollably.

Things have opened up in the room so Tink takes the opportunity to cast TimeStop to call in some more aid.

Her summons attack immediately after the TimeStop spell ends. She doesn't take full advantage of the time difference and chooses to hold back some spells just in case. Tink flies along the wall some more.

Highlight to display spoiler: {Thanks for the 'e' thing. It really helps me a lot but I don't want to make things even harder for you guys when it is taking both of you hours of effort to post one round as is. 'e' or no 'e', I trust your judgement as to where/how Tink's spells go off}

With magic circle against evil, dark walk, and +1 because I forgot to add level 18&19 onto my stats Bosk auto passes the fort save. For damage, concealment was not rolled for, the third attack misses (I subtracted 25% dmg). With damage reduction each attack does ten less damage. I came up with 49dmg taken. Does this sound correct?

Bosk feels he is in his element. Fighting in the house of god, smiting heretics and Avenging the Wold. He smiles as more enemies approach and strike out at them as he absorbs, evades and shrugs off attack after attack. He is about to beat the fear of god into them when the smell of blood hits his nostrils. Quickly he uses his death watch ability to check on his friends only to realize the smell is coming from himself! Hiding his disappointment, he acts responsibly casts heal on himself.

Garret laughs as the enemies come near. He takes out the profane acolyte but the Dybbuks are ethereal.

Restlin-Crone attacks shadow cleric 2 and fells her with negative energy. Meanwhile his Deva keeps attacking the Devourer.

Zane moves a little and attacks the Dybbuk but the Dybbuk is unaffected by the attacks.

Tink fires off a timestop to gain some backup. Her Azata casts chain lightning.
Some avoid some of the lightning, the crone gets destroyed. The Death Master falls to the ground dying.

Beri sends his summons to find something they can hurt and hits a Dybbuk with lightning.

Bosk uses some attacks of opportunity then heals.

Sesha heals some of the party.

Wyarr looks to kill the last Crone but Tink beat him to it. He instead takes out Devourer 5.

Dire Tiger 2 fails to hit the Ethereal Dybbuk.
Dire Tiger 3 hits the acolyte for all 5 hits and the acolyte is now grappled by the tiger.
Dire Tiger 4 misses the ethereal Dybbuk.
Dire Tigers 5 and 6 target the Devourer 11, they wound it horribly and tiger 5 grapples it.

The fighters unleash on Wyarr again, managing to do 41 damage (rolled vs blink, concealment, and included DR)

The Golems move and if they can attack. Golem 1 attacks Devourer 10. Its first slam misses but its second slam does 34 damage to Devourer 10.

Golems 2, 3 and 4 have too much distance between themselves and the nearest enemy

Golem 5 attacks fighter 21 and strikes with both slams for 54 total damage.

Golem 6 attacks devourer 6 and also hits with both slams for 71 total damage.

Golem 7 attacks devourer 8 and slams into devourer 8 twice for 65 total damage

Golem 8 attacks devourer 9 slamming into it both times for 60 total damage

Golem 9 attacks devourer 11 hitting it twice for 55 damage and destroying it

The dybbuks realize they can’t catch the agile monk and instead float down to attack Wyarr. Their ghostly touch passes through his armor and he is wracked with pain, taking 97 damage (subtracted DR already)

Zane is attacked by 3 other Dybbuks and takes 51 damage.

Most of the Devourers try to slay living the True Believers. A believer fails vs a crit and instantly dies. The other two make their saves and take a chunk of damage.

The Devoted Believers channel energy to heal the monks. The monks in turn move towards the fighters as they’re the only targets left the monks can really damage.

The Death Masters are all dead or dying.

Shadow Cleric 1 is still alive. Shadow Cleric 1 uses copy cat as a move action getting an illusionary double. Shadow Cleric 1 then takes a 5 foot step and casts blade barrier.
Tink’s Tiger’s 1, 4, 5 and 3, Garret and Sesha need to make DC 22 reflex saves or take 41 damage.
The Rune Golem’s magical immunity means it is unaffected.
Monk 10 is killed as the wall of blades tears apart his body in a bloody spray
Monk 3 is staggered as the blades find their mark.
Monk 23 dodges out of the way; as does sprocket

Dwarf Cleric 2 attempts a charm monster on acolyte 7 but the acolyte is not charmed.
Dwarf Cleric 3 shoots more bolts at acolyte 3, this time hitting for 8 damage.

Profane Acolyte 3 tries to escape the grapple but fails.

Profane Acolyte 7 is grappled and paralyzed and can’t do anything

Profane Acolyte 8 casts dispel good and moves towards the Deva

Profane Acolyte 9 continues to dance uncontrollably

Profane Acolyte 10 casts dispel good and moves towards the tiger

Sprocket casts a baleful polymorph at profane acolyte 3. Profane acolyte is now a toad.

Agatha fires off an acid arrow at devourer 8

The Unknown Bloodwitch attempts to make profane acolyte 8 dance uncontrollably as well and succeeds.

Two of the tigers get a bit diced up, but still stand.

Tink removes the blade barrier to allow clear passage for the allies. She's starting to run low on useful spells now.

The Azata tries to dispel the held charge of Profane Acolyte but fails. It backs up a little.

With the barrier down the Tigers are free to pounce once more. They split up to attack different targets. Tiger #3 tears into the paralyzed acolyte.

The lilend azata keeps up its performance

-------------------
Tink
Standard: Cast Dispel Magic on the Blade Barrier. Dispel Check: 40 should be enough.

Azata
Standard: Cast Dispel Magic on Profane Acolyte 8. Dispel Check: 16 is likely a fail.

Tiger Ref Saves vs DC22: 22, 14, 26, 21. #1 and #4 passed. #5 and #6 take full damage. (Tiger 6 had been incorrectly labelled as Tiger 3, meaning 2 x Tiger 3s on the field. Fixed it. It still takes full damage though)

Tiger #1 pounces on 8e that is attacking Zane.
-- Full round action: Pounce. Flanking with Zane.
-- Hit AC40 (Nat20) for 14pts. Crit confirm on AC26 for another 13pts. Hit AC30 for 13pts. Hit AC22 for 16pts. Hit AC34 for pts. Hit AC30 for 19pts. Grab:41

Tiger #2 pounces on the acolyte that was coming for the Azata.
-- Full round action: Pounce.
-- Hit AC36 for 12pts. Hit AC21 for 10pts. Hit AC29 for 15pts. Hit AC35 for 13pts. Hit AC26 for 17pts. Grab:42

Tiger #3
-- Free action: Release the grapple.
-- Full round action. Coup-de-grace the paralyzed acolyte #3. Automatic Hit and Critical. Damage=31pts. Acolyte to make a DC41 Fort Save or die.

Tiger #4
-- Move action: Move around the golem to get to 10e
-- Standard action: Attack 10e. Hit AC21 for 14pts.

Tiger #5 circles around the fight to get in a better position

Tiger #6 pounces on 7e that is attacking Zane
-- Full round action: Pounce. Flanking with Zane.
-- Hit AC24 for 15pts. Hit AC26 for 10pts. Hit AC35 for 12pts. Hit AC36 for 12pts. Hit AC24 for 19pts. Grab:42

Made the save for the Woldsblood effect, so acts normally.
Zane mentions over the rings, "Some healing could be helpful if any is available."

Waiting for damage update to post rest of action.

Garret moves forward into the room, looking for a target.

OOC:

Unarmed strikes are considered magical, lawful, cold iron, silver, adamantine

Sesha - 202/202. AC 38  d10=7 ; d10=5 ; d10=8 ;

(Invisibile, Blinking, Moment of Prescience, Magic Vestment, Barkskin, Shield of Faith, Stoneskin, Spite: Bestow Curse, Contingency: Etherealness if needed.)

Sesha sends word via the ring to her scattered compatriots. They were so scattered, mass heals were suddenly not practical.

"We are so spread out I can only heal one or two of you at a time. If you are hurt, swallow your pride and fall back near me so I can administer properly. Remember, I'm not a cleric!"

That said, she heals Wyar for most of his wounds, continuing the life and death tug of war he was suddenly wrapped up in. Then, she uses her spectral hand to heal Zane as best as she can.

Standard: Heal on Wyarr for 150hp, clear all conditions.
Move: 5ft.
Quickened: Cure moderate on Zane for 53.



Restlin (Carl) -- AC +20/+10/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 135/168 (Spells) Luck Points: 23/26  d20+25=37 ; d20+37=46 ; d20+32=35 ; d20+27=46 ; d6+6=12 ; d4=1 ; d4=2 ; d8+16=24 ; d8+16=19 ; d8+16=22 ;
Tuesday March 5th, 2019 8:30:52 PM
Restlin goes 2 for 2. He happily skips over to shadow cleric 1 and claws at him. Deva keeps up the pressure on the devourer.

***

Move: Skip towards shadow cleric 1
Standard: Attack w/ claws, hitting AC 37 for 12 damage + 3 negative levels

Deva full attack/damage: 46/24 35/19 46/22

Zane requests healing

Garret moves forward into the room looking for a target.

Sesha tries to organize her compatriots reminding them over the link that she is not a cleric and that everyone is much too spread out for her to heal them. She then uses a large amount of healing energies on Wyaar and has her spectral hand heal Zane a moderate amount.

Restlin claws a caster, but doesn’t bring them down.

Zane kills another Dybbuk.

Beri has his lightning hit a dybbuk and his summons move towards the enemy.

The fighters continue to pile onto Bosk. He’s hit twice for 25 damage (rolled vs blink and concealment, added DR)

The monks finally catch up to a target they can hit. Still enchanted with flight, they stack 2 and 3 high to get an angle to attack the fighters. 5 hit, none of them manage to stun, but they do manage to kill one.

The Rune Golems slam into the Devourers, killing one of them.

The Devourers continue to attack the Kevintar aligned casters. Kevintar’s Faithful 2 dies to a crit.

The Dybbuks continue to attack Zane and Wyarr. Zane is hit for 32, Wyarr 5 times for 116.

The Devoted Believers channel energy into the Dybbuks and Zane; Zane is healed 35 hp.

Shadow Cleric 1 takes a 5 foot step and defensively casts slay living on Bosk (Concentration: 36 = success) but he fails to hit with the melee touch attack.

The Death Masters are all dead or dying.

Dwarf 1 casts mass suggestion on the fighters, “I suggest you all lay down your weapons, put your hands behind your head and march over to the far wall!” he commands. Three of the fighters succumb to the suggestion.

Dwarf 3 uses a dimension door to get to the other side of the battle field somewhat close to Agatha.

The tigers (less one) seek out targets. Only one is able to attack while the rest take up guarding positions.

The Ghaele casts a Flame Strike near the dybbuks

Tink casts a Magic Missile at one as well

----------------------
Tiger #1 decides to find another target and moves away from the fight (Provokes an AoO from a Dybbuk)

Tiger #2 takes up a defensive position

Tiger #3 takes up a defensive position

Tiger #4. Will Save vs DC22: 19=Fail. Gone back to home plane.

Tiger #5. pounces on 9e
-- Full round action: Pounce.
-- Hit AC25 for 10pts. Hit AC38 for 13pts. Hit AC33 for 12pts. Hit AC29 for 13pts. Hit AC24 for 18pts. Grab:36

Tiger #6 . Move to the east to cover that path. (Provokes an AoO from a Dybbuk)

Lilend Azata: Keep performing

Ghaele Azata: Cast Flame Strike east of the dybbuks. 40pts damage (20pts fire. 20pts divine). Ref Save vs DC19 for half

Tink: Cast Magic Missile at Dybbuk8 for 18pts.

Restlin-Crone notices his friends getting swamped back where his body is, so he uses his dimensional step ability to pop back over there.

"Yea! Let's get these stupid dragons," he yells. "Let's do it for Gargul who's totally not Kevintar screwing with us!"

Meanwhile, the Deva turns around and unloads on acolyte 8.

***

Standard: Dimensional step closer to the party
Move: walk the rest of the way

Deva full attack/damage on acolyte 8, moving to 7 if (s)he falls: 43/24 45/19 37/19. If two of those hit, the target must make a DC 27 fort save or be stunned for 6 rounds.

Deva has holy aura: A brilliant divine radiance surrounds the subjects, protecting them from attacks, granting them resistance to spells cast by evil creatures, and causing evil creatures to become blinded when they strike the subjects. This abjuration has four effects.

First, each warded creature gains a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saves. Unlike protection from evil, this benefit applies against all attacks, not just against attacks by evil creatures.
Second, each warded creature gains spell resistance 25 against evil spells and spells cast by evil creatures.
Third, the abjuration protects the recipient from possession and mental influence, just as protection from evil does.
Finally, if an evil creature succeeds on a melee attack against a creature warded by a holy aura, the offending attacker is blinded (Fortitude save negates, as blindness/deafness, but against holy aura’s save DC).

Zane finishes off the last of the Dybbuks around him.

Tink casts a magic missile at one of the Dybbuks near Wyaar (OOC: adjusted since Zane killed the ones near him)
Her Azata uses a flame strike. (OOC: The Dybbuks being ethereal only take half damage from a passed save or quarter damage from a passed save. 35, 31 reflex saves; also on some of the ones near Wyaar so only 5 fire / 5 divine get through on each)
Tiger 1 moves away from the fight
Tiger 2 takes up a defensive position
Tiger 3 takes up a defensive position
Tiger 5 pounces acolyte 9
Tiger 6 also moves
Her other azata keeps performing.

Restlin-Crone moves nearer to the party while his deva hits acolyte 8. Acolyte 8 resists the stunning (fort save = 32 pass)

Garret watches the monks swarm the fighters, taking a step back to see whose side people are on.

The three fighters that failed saves lay down their weapons and march off as ordered. The other fighters turn on the monks and kill one of them.

The monks full attack the fighters and do about 50 damage to two of them.

Two devourers float around the mass of combatants surrounding Bosk and touch him. One goes right through him as he blinks, the other lands just as he returns to solid form. He has to make a DC 23 fort saves. On failure he takes 56 damage; otherwise 26 damage.

Another tags a golem and the last fails it’s save vs the rain.

Devourers 8 and 10 are pounded into fine past by Rune Golems.

With no one and nothing stopping them the Dybbuks continue to attack Wyarr with their pain touch. One gets him in an especially painful spot and he takes a total of 142 damage.

Shadow Cleric 1 channels negative energy targetting Bosk and the swarming monks.
Bosk must make a DC 19 will save or take 29 damage; 14 on success

Dwarf 1 casts dominate person against the shadow cleric but the shadow cleric saves.

Dwarf 3 casts mass suggestion targetting the 4 acolytes. “I suggest you dance over to far wall while singing the balad of king claudia and making jazz hands.” All 4 acolytes save

Profane Acolyte 7 is paralyzed

Profane Acolyte 8 is dancing away

Profane Acolyte 9 is dancing away and grappled

Profane Acolyte 10 casts righteous might and takes a 5 foot step.

Sprocket casts confusion targetting acolyte 10. Acolyte 10 manages to resist

Agatha fires off a magic missile at Dybbuk 1. It takes 19 force damage

Unknown Bloodwitch uses its last irresistible dance against acolyte 10. Acolyte 10 starts dancing.

The tigers keep circling for opponents. Some grow restless and start making their way through the sleeping area.

The Ghaele Azata heads to the entrance way to provide some protection for those there.

Wyarr isn't looking in great shape. Tink flies closer and uses a Pearl of Power to recast a scorching ray at one of the dybbuk's.

The lilend just keeps on performing
----------------------
Tiger #1 pounces on 10e (dancing?)
-- Full round action: Pounce.
-- Hit AC37 for 14pts. Hit AC32 for 15pts. Hit AC25 for 12pts. Hit AC30 for 14pts. Hit AC26 for 15pts. Grab:28

Tiger #2
-- Double move. Use squeezing rules to start moving through the sleeping area.

Tiger #3
-- Double move. Use squeezing rules to start moving through the sleeping area.

Tiger #5 keeps attacking 9e
-- Rake attacks: Hit AC23 for 14pts. Hit AC19. Nat1.
-- Maintain grapple: 28+5=33. Damage: 15pts

Tiger #6 .
-- Double move.

Lilend Azata: Keep that funky music going

Ghaele Azata:
-- Double move to east wall entrance.
-- Garret, Restlin, Beri and Wyarr (and any other ally that gets close) gain the protection of the Holy Aura
----- First, each warded creature gains a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saves. Unlike protection from evil, this benefit applies against all attacks, not just against attacks by evil creatures.
----- Second, each warded creature gains spell resistance 25 against evil spells and spells cast by evil creatures.
----- Third, the abjuration protects the recipient from possession and mental influence, just as protection from evil does.
----- Finally, if an evil creature succeeds on a melee attack against a creature warded by a holy aura, the offending attacker is blinded (Fortitude save negates, as blindness/deafness, but against holy aura's save DC21).

Tink:
-- Move: Fly south to get in range
-- Standard: Use Pearl of Power to recast Scorching ray at 4e. Hits Touch AC30 for 14pts. Hits Touch AC37 for 18pts. Hits Touch AC38 for 15pts.

Zane moves to the other Dybbuks, He'll then use a heroic action to make a full round of attacks on them. He'll start with the one that looks the most damaged and move on from there....

"Stay standing Wyaar, we got this....."

Restlin arrives to save the day...just to realize the creatures surrounding Wyarr are undead and will be healed by his awesome claw attacks.

"Well, this sucks..." he mutters while pondering what to do. He realizes there's nothing he can do to hurt the dybbuks, and shunting back into his own body just adds a crone queen to the melee. That's the opposite of helping.

He cuts his losses, casting teleport to get him across the room (no material components, so I should be able to cast it).

He appears surrounded by three of the enemy fighters. "Don't just stand there, dummies! Throw yourself at them!"

The Deva keeps up its full attack on acolyte 8, switching to 7 if it falls.

***

Standard: Teleport across the room in the middle of fighters 19,21,22.

Deva full attack on acolyte 8: Nat 1, 47/22 40/21 - If both attacks hit, acolyte needs to make a DC 27 fort save or be stunned for 3 rounds.

Wyaar uses a lay on hands on himself again and still doesn't look it great shape. He flies 5' up again and lets loose arrows at the Dybbuk that hit him.

Sesha watches Wyaar struggle, and remembers a moment the two of them shared not long ago.

"I can heal myself. Help someone else.", was Wyaars gruff reply to Sesha's administrations. With a glower, she snapped back. "I heal whom I please, when I please, Paladin."

Something told her he wouldn't be so resistant to her healing this day. She considers asking Faith to make the Paladin invisible, but the ghost probably would refuse to touch the holy warrior in any capacity. Instead, she orders the ghost to assist in his defense.

Sesha: She casts Heal on Wyaar again, healing him for 150 points.

Witchfire: Aid another, defense. Success. Wyaar is +2 AC.

Tink moves to get in range and then uses her pearl of power to hit one of the Dybbuks with scorching ray. All rays hit but the Dybbuk being incorporeal and the rays being fire not force effect means the Dybbuk takes half damage.
Tiger 1 attacks the large dancing acolyte (OOC: Dancing because he failed to resist the unknown blood witch’s irresistible dance) and kills him.
Tiger 2 moves
Tiger 3 moves
Tiger 5 keeps attacking acolyte 9 killing him
Tiger 6 takes a double move
Lillend Azata keeps playing
Ghaele Azata moves so that Tink’s allies can benefit from holy aura

Zane rushes to Wyarr’s aid and kills a Dybbuk, taking the other to a little below half.

Restlin teleports over to the other side of the room. He yells at some fighters, but they’re the ones who failed a suggestion save and are obliviously walking to the far end of the room.

Wyarr backs up and unloads on the Dybbuks.

Sesha heals Wyarr and her ghost assists his defense.

Garret wanders the hall looking for a fight (I can’t find you on the map anymore, did you get deleted by accident or are you hiding under someone?)

Beri’s summons finally make it to a tangible target and lay into the Devourers. They only hit once each, but the Devourers were so close to dead they are destroyed anyway.

The warriors kill two monks. The monks hit the warriors but don’t kill any of them.

The Rune Golems advance towards enemies but only two are close enough to make attacks the same round. Warrior 24 and Acolyte 7 are smashed into paste.

The Dybbuks continue their assault, Faith’s assistance helping not at all (they went from always hitting to missing on a 2). He’s hit for another 87 damage.

Shadow Cleric 1 channels negative energy again (Bosk 32 damage; DC 19 will for half)

Dwarf 1 casts acid arrow at the shadow cleric.

Dwarf 3 casts acid arrow at acolyte 8

Acolyte 8 is still dancing

Sprocket casts magic missile at the nearest Dybbuk

Agatha follows suit.

The unknown bloodwitch casts flying broom and hops on his flying broom. Moving towards Wyaar and the Dybbuk

The tigers circle around the main fight looking for new target.

The ghaele azata doesn't want to step too close to the dybbuk's for fear of blocking Garret or Zane from entering the fight. Instead it shifts into Light Form

Tink holds back from casting another spell. She instead looks around to make sure no new enemies are entering the battlefield

Considering the magic being consumed to keep healing Wyaar, Sesha takes a different approach.

Fueling her spell with her own blood, Sesha quickly raises her own spell power. She then casts a spell to gain control of the undead, and should be able to control most or all of the pack of Dybbuks that remain after Zane finishes his attacks.

Bosk attacks the shadow cleric he hits 6 times total for 120 damage slaying him

Tink holds back looking for new threats.
The tigers circle around,
The Azata keeps playing
The other Azata keeps the ward up.

Zane attacks the Dybbuks surrounding Wyaar. He destroys Dybbuk 2 with his first attack. He ends up destroying another Dybbuk with further attacks and finally wounds one of the remaining Dybbuks

Restlin skips to the side where the fighters are gathering. His Deva finishes off an acolyte.

Garret moves towards Bosk.

Beri’s summons kill fighter 25. Lightning strikes a dybbuk.

Sesha tries to take control of the Dybbuks. Only 1 fails it’s save.

The Fighters and Rune Golems finish off the last fighter.

The 1st Dwarf casts Haste targeting the monks and Beri’s elder elemental.

The 2nd Dwarf casts Haste tink’s Tigers

Agatha and Sprocket both fire off magic missiles at one of the remaining Dybbuks killing it

The unknown bloodwitch takes a double move to fly near Wyaar. He then heroically heals the paladin restoring 150 hit points.

The battle ends… for now. The remaining cultists look at the dragon’s warily, lowering their weapons and waiting to see what happens next.

"Did we need something from that lich to complete the ritual?"

Tink still has a pearl of power up her sleeve. She readies to cast a Magic Missile should any of these people look to be an immediate threat.

She isn't ready to give up her invisibility just yet.

One thing is for sure. Agatha won't be getting her satchel back.

"Well, that was something," says Restlin the Crone Queen.

He saunters back to his friends, pondering what to do about the demilich.

Knowledge arcana to know what to do about the demilich: 54

He walks up to Bosk and presents the crone's neck. "Finish off this body, big guy. It's evil, it's undead...surrender or no, I'm sure you feel the need to remove it from the Wold."

Bosk tried to recall what he can about looking the lich and makes sure it is not needed to complete the ritual before putting an end to it.

ooc: Wasn't this a special lock that needs to be killed a specific way? Something about holy water?

Bosk will also collect some of its remains, as well as the other decreased for a trophy and spell components. He will also check the dead for clues, loot and traps.

Sesha is very firm with the Dybbuk.

"Dead thing. You will not harm anyone else for the time being. Do not move again, until ordered to do so by me. Do not attack, unless ordered to do so by me."

Sesha grabs the attention of the others over the ring.

"Does anyone have questions for the creature? It's ours to do with as we see fit for a moderate time."

I think the first thing to ask everyone here, including the Dybbuk, is whether this room is now secure, and then to do any prep work needed to keep it secure so we can recover. We should also check in with the caretaker if possible from here.

...by the way, this argument over who is the best looking is kind of pointless when one of us actually has the ability to change their appearance at will.
Beri uses the druid "A Thousand Faces" technique to take on the appearance of a an attractive elf, before returning to his human form (complete with the small crater in his forehead where Gargul smacked him around, knowing he's not winning any beauty contests in his true form.)

Tink doesn't buy into the "who's more handsome" debate. Right now she's uncomfortable. The fight may be over, but there's still some unfinished business with Agatha.

Tink stays alert and keeps her magic missile spell ready to disrupt anyone casting something without announcing it to the party first.

Her greater invisibility spell is still active.

DM Mitch 
Tuesday March 12th, 2019 8:29:36 AM
Tink is still on the lookout for any further enemies and resolves not to give Agatha her satchel back.

Restlin-Crone ponders what to do with the Lich while he wanders over to Bosk asking him to destroy it. No one obliges him yet.

Zane too remains vigilant while in dragon form.

Sesha ponders her pet Dybbuk. She gives it harsh commands and asks if anyone has any questions for it. There are several suggestions.

Bosk too tries to remember about the lich. He collects some of its remains.

Tink suggests asking about other enemies, what the ritual was for, had it been stopped and if anything was overheard before the fight started.

Garett tries to play nice with the monks. None of them seem interested in food at the moment.

Beri asks if the room is secure and joins the debate about how pretty Restlin is.

The unknown blood witch approaches. ”Well met Dragons. I am Gealen, faithful of Kevintar. We know well your mission here, and we wish to aid you in freeing our god. I know you seek to do so in order to ensure his destruction, but know that his long imprisonment has changed him and he is not the evil you think he is.”

One of his followers retrieves the Lich’s skill and brings it to him. He regards it for a moment. ”She was always a cruel and callous leader, yet so convinced of her superiority that she never suspected the rebellion that formed against her. To destroy a Demilich it must be brought to a hallowed area, sprinkled with holy water, and struck with holy magic. We have such an area prepared, but no doubt you don’t trust us to dispose of her. As a gesture of faith I give the remains to you so that you might ensure her permanent death.”

Restlin’s arcana check is high enough to know Gealen speaks true on how to destroy the lich.

Tink shakes her head. Still invisible she speaks up. She's still not happy.

"How can we take your gesture as good faith, Gealen, when we have experienced the deception and manipulation by your associate Agatha. On hearing of her mysterious 'disappearance' we rushed to come to her aid, delaying us from our others tasks. We rushed headfirst through traps and enemies to try and rescue her from what we believed was harm.

As for your god, well, if Gargul says Kevintar is to be destroyed then that is what will shall aid him do unless He tells us otherwise. Let me ask you this: when the time comes, would you do as Gargul asks - whatever that may be? If not, it would be in your interests to leave this place now.

You should speak plainly and openly with us. No more deception. If I sense any hint of a lie or that you are trying to mislead us, well, the result won't be pleasant for you"

Tink has had enough of Agatha and her associates. No more niceties. No more introductions or false friendships. She wants all cards on the table. Now. Tink holds onto her holy symbol and awaits a response.

"I'm going to try and get a read on them. Could one of the handsome people be ready to act, just in case?"

Justicar Truth Test: With a successful Sense Motive check secretly opposed by either a Will save or a Bluff check (target's choice), the justicar can tell when a target creature is lying, just like a Discern Lies spell.

Sense Motive check: 43.

OOC: I'm going to assume Zane can easily dispatch the crone I'm in while I'm helpless, at that he's done so.

***

Restlin walks out from the stairwell in his own body, kinda sore from Zane's beating even though it wasn't even his body. He reminds himself never to upset him.

He has words, but Tink has better words. He gives an approving look and waits for the response.

While he does, he fingers a small gemstone in his pocket. He looks around; where is Agatha anyway? That lady had some explaining to do.

He realizes he has a question.

"Wait a minute. If Kevintar isn't evil, who was powering the cult? Gargul's pretty convinced they were drawing power from him. Why were they able to do that if he's 'not what we think he is' anymore?" He makes little air quotes as he talks.

Garret can sense Tink's obvious anger. He shrugs at the refusal of meat and takes a bite himself. Then he walks over to the monks and tries to compliment them on some of their moves during the battle, hoping for some peace in the tension.

Wyarr keeps his trap shut. This was a serious situation, one that required care.

Sesha - 202/202. AC 30 
Tuesday March 12th, 2019 8:02:12 PM

Sesha looks approvingly at each of the Dragons. She mumbles a bit to herself.

"If it wasn't for the smell, Garret has quite the physique."

She nonetheless has bigger issues at hand. Agatha.

She had always wanted to like the other witch. There weren't many of them. On this point, she is careful to let Tink call the shots, but Sesha herself addresses the other Bloodwitch.

"Well met, sister. I have a question for you." She ponders how best to proceed, then decides to handle the question as carefully as she always does, with the surgical precision of a wooden club.

"If we aren't convinced, and we free Kevintaur together in earnest, it is only to destroy him. Will you interfere? The harsh reality is you would be our next obstacle, but we also likely need you to succeed in our task. Its made you a strange bedfellow."

The druid runs his fingers though his hair as he tries to take in what they are telling him.
I can't help but notice you didn't mention what makes you think he has changed. Is there something tangible we can bring back to Gargul? We still have time before we have what is needed to free Kevintar,

And, I asked before but I don't think anyone confirmed... is this room safe to rest in until we replenish our spells?

Caretaker, are you able to hear us here?

Bosk shrugs. This mission has more twists and turns than one of Restlin's mazes. I suppose if Gargul changed and Kevintar is of Gargul then it stands to reason that Kevintar could change. Either way, we both have the goal of freeing him, and his next actions will be his in. Let's rest up and make the preparations, and see if we can update Gargul.

OOC: Had to look back, Bosk, but yes. Gargul advised that we open the door to release Kevintar so that Marteus can come along and take him out

Tink will look very carefully at Gealen, using Arcane Sight to see if she has any magical auras that would indicate a way for her to deceive.

Tink questions Gaelen’s intentions explaining that Agatha’s deceptions lead them to come running. She asks him what he would do if Gargul says Kevintar is to be destroyed. She warns him to speak plainly.

Restlin joins in, in his own body. He looks around and fingers a gem in his pocket he asks,"Wait a minute. If Kevintar isn't evil, who was powering the cult? Gargul's pretty convinced they were drawing power from him. Why were they able to do that if he's 'not what we think he is' anymore?"

Garret feels Tink’s anger. Eats some meat and goes over to congratulate the other monks.

Zane in dragon form continues to hover.

Wyaar keeps his trap shut stewing over Restlin thinking he was more handsome than he.

Sesha looks at each of the dragons and then gets to the heart of what is going on with Agatha. She asks Agatha if they decide to free Kevinar only to destroy him would she interfere.

Beri asks what makes them so sure that Kevintar has changed and then asks if the room is safe and if the caretaker can hear them.

Bosk points out they were going to free Kevintar regardless; what happens after is up to Kevintar and his actions. He also asks the caretaker if it can contact Gargal or Kevintar. It cannot, though of course Bosk can use magic to contact his own god.

Tink examines Gaelen’s spell auras. He’s covered in layered protection spells, but nothing that would seem to hide his alignment or improve his ability to lie.

Gaelen replies, “I believe one of your number has a pact with Serenbeth. Would she not stand against Lord Gargul himself if he meant to destroy her? I have a pact with Kevintar and Gargul does not realize that he is no longer the implacable enforcer he used to be. His time in the bone tower has changed him. He has become introspective, a force for balance, self-reflection and self-improvement. As for what happened with the death dragon cult, well they were an unintended consequence of him sending his power forth from the cracks in his cell.

Opportunists with their own intentions subverted his intentions and took advantage of what he was trying to do for their own gain. As soon as he learned of what they were doing he asked us to infiltrate them and take them down from the inside. We have done as Lord Kevintar commanded. Agatha is my 2nd but she was telling the truth when she revealed her patron is Janiterri. She believes aiding me in bringing back Kevintar could provide insight into bringing back other lost Gods such as the Serenbeth Sisters.”

Agatha pipes up, “I had to communicate with Gaelen that the hour of the Death Dragon Cult’s demise was fast approaching. I purposely left my pack so that if you needed it, it could aid you. I did not mean for you to think I had been kidnapped nor did I intend for you to rush after me. I intended for you to return to the portal room and deal with that malfunctioning portal before recovering the rest of the artifacts and participants needed for the ritual. Who knows what havoc it may have caused while we were up here? All I’ve ever wanted is to bring back Janiterri and helping Kevintar aids this quest.”

She pauses and says to Sesha directly, “As to your question, if you asked Y’zargo to stand against the Gods themselves would he do it? I am to Gaelen what Y’zargo is to you except where you and Y’zargo share the same patron Gaelen has a pact with Kevintar and my own is with some fragment of Janiterri. Whatever remnant of her that is guiding me lead me to Gaelen and so I joined his Coven. I know that if it came to it, we followers of Kevintar could not hope to stand against you and live but yet we know it would be wrong for Kevintar to be executed instead of being given a chance at true redemption. Although we do not wish to fight you we would have no choice and we would die in the knowledge that we gave our lives trying to do what was right and our deaths would be on your hands and consciences. Gargul fears what the old Kevintar would do if unleashed upon the Wold but he doesn’t realize that that aspect of Kevintar is gone, lost to the ages, replaced with one that as Gaelen noted is a force advocating for balance and redemption. Can you not appreciate what Kevintar is trying to do? Have you not yourself offered your rival Mhalice a chance at redemption instead of outright slaughtering her? Why can’t an immortal power or God be given that same chance? There is precedent, it was extended to Eberyon and he was allowed to atone.

She then addresses the Iron Dragons as a group, “Was it not a group of adventurers similar to yourselves who decided to spare him instead of destroy him? Can you yourselves not make a similar decision now? Have the Gods not blessed you with free will?”

Tink gets the sense that Gaelen and Agatha are telling the truth and are sincere in their belief that Kevintar really has changed for the better and that Gargul is unaware of this.

Tink isn't ready to give Agatha an inch. "Agatha, you purposely left your pack to aid us? Hmm. Ok. Yet you didn't mention one word to the Custodian, Dock, Megaman, or Chuck as to why and where you were going. No note and you told noone. You waited until we left you alone and used that as an opportunity to run off to suit your own purposes. How can we possibly trust anything you have to say now? What can you offer?"

She then responds to Gaelen.

"Unlike Lady Serenbeth... " Tink looks to Sesha to check if the term 'Lady' is acceptable. She has no intention of disrespecting either of them "... Kevintar has proven himself to be capable of 'unsavory' acts. Gargul created him specifically to punish mortals, didn't he?

Eberyon was pardoned by the gods if my memory serves. No such grace has been given to Kevintar as far as I know.

Just as the Death Dragons were manipulated so might you be. Why, it may be Marteus who is deceiving you.

We have been in Gargul's chambers and spoken with him face to face. He has told us what we must do. So, if it comes to Gargul - one of the greatest of the gods AND the father of Kevintar - saying that Kevintar is to be destroyed, what you are saying is that you would challenge him and try to stop us from fulfilling his will. You would attack us?"

Over the rings, "Didn't Gargul say Marteaus would fight Kevintar, our job is to free him. He expects Marteaus to win and kill his brother. We are not expected to take part in that fight, just cause it to come about.
So the decision is not ours to make, we are just going to be witness' to the outcome. I expect that fact is important to the God's of the Wold, so the results can be spread wide and far by people that the population of the Wold can relate to as Heroes not just by Divine Proclamation.
If Kevintar should either Win or fight Marteaus to a draw, wouldn't it result in something different that a Death. Kevintar seems to have Devout followers, other than the Death Dragon Cult. It might give him the edge he needs to survive the fight we are to basically arrange....
Just something to thing about while we are dealing with these people as well."

Ooc: everyone email me if you need healing, have negative levels, etc

Bosk holds up a hand. We are putting the cart before the horse. I have magic that will allow me to communicate directly with Gargul. For now, let us rest and converse as friends. As we rest and I prepare my spells, tell me exactly how you learned of Kevintar and his powers. What has he specifically said or done that leads you to believe he has changed. I will relay this information to Gargul.

Unfortunately, there are procedures that need to be followed. If Kevintar escapes without my getting Gargul's consent things will not look good for him. He will likely have the entire Pantheon after him, as well as several of the gods of testing.

Just as Gargul reformed, it will take time for him to be accepted. However, we have worked with the gods in the past to transition those in situations like Kevintar's. If Kevintar can be trusted then we will use what trust and sway we have to help him.



ooc: Not sure your time line, but I am fine with fast forwarding and relaying the information to Gargul through magic or via Gimp as soon as we have recovered. Also willing to close the portals first of the Caretaker says it is necessary and the others are ready.

Tink opens her mouth as if to speak and then stops.

"Yea...this was never our choice. We're supposed to let Kevintar out, not fight him." He turns to Tink. "...and don't apologize. That one," he points to Agatha, "has betrayed our trust and just said she'd try to kill us if we don't follow their wishes." He turns back to Agatha. "We trusted you. We're here because we felt you were part of our little team here, and now we get to deal with whatever nightmare we've let get out of control."

"Oh, by the way guys, I told you so."

Beri scratches his head.
So, in the event that Keventaur loses the fight, would he then go to Gargul's domain? And Gargul himself could confirm if he's changed and determine whether to grant him new life?

Serenbeth.

Everyone could always get to her through Serenbeth. She tries to compare Agathas actions with those she would take, had Kamali, her own trainer in witchcraft, asked her to perform some unsavory thing. The answer was in her past, she would have complied.

"I understand you, Sister Agatha. I understand you, Brother Gaelen. Though not of the same coven, I understand the gnawing passion to serve well, to be recognized. The pact we form with our Immortals always holds at its core, that our deeds exalt them and gain them power. As we rise, they rise. So rest sure, I do understand."

Then she sighs.

"I suppose the difference then, is that I chose to serve a power that would never ask me to betray my allies. It would never ask me to abandon my love of those who toil and dream, because in almost everything, Serenbeth and I align."

She uncrosses her arms, and taps Gaelen over his heart.

"Where brother, do you and Kevintaur align? What part of his domain, of his passions, speak to you? Serenbeths love of children and dreamers of the future called to my core. What part of Kevintaurs core appeals to you? I know of one aspect of your pacts former aspirations, and that is that Kevintaur enjoyed slaughter. He killed happily on command. Is there some nobility there I am missing? What has grown in to replace the slaughter that once fulfilled him?"

She takes another breath.

"Connect with me and make me see. I promise not to judge too soon."

Tink really lets Agatha have it for running off and betraying their trust. She responds to Gaelan that Kevintar’s followers could be being manipulated by Marteus. She also states that Gargul told them to destroy Kevintar and asks Gaelen if him and his people would attack them.

Zane sends over the rings that their job was to free Kevintar not fight him as Gargul implied that Marteus would finish him. He points out that if Kevintar won against Marteus or forced a draw than that wouldn’t mean he would necessarily die and that the followers might provide an edge.

Garret plops down on the ground as all this talk of Gods is beyond him.

Bosk holds up his hand and points out that he has the ability to confer with Gargul and he will do so as soon as he can regain spells. He asks that for the time being they converse as friends and asks what makes them think Kevintar has changed. He also points out that there are procedures to be followed and if Kevintar should escape without Gargul’s consent there could be many Gods after him. He also points out they have helped with transitions in the past and if Kevintar really has reformed they can potentially help

Wyaar goes over to Restlin and tells him they were told to free Kevintar not fight him.

Restlin points out that this was never their choice and that Agatha betrayed them and would kill them if they didn’t follow her wishes and as such they shouldn’t apologize or trusted her.

Beri asks if Kevintar lost would he go to Gargul and Gargul could confirm if Kevintar changed and give him new life. He also starts securing the room.

Sesha says she can sort of understand and asks Gaelen what aspect of Kevintar most appeals to him.

Agatha looks aghast at Tink and Restlin. She says, “I never said I would kill you nor would I attack you. I would be defending Kevintar against an attack by YOU in the scenario that you yourselves outlined. I also said I didn’t expect to survive fighting you nor do I want to fight you as you all seem like a good lot and I’m not suicidal. I’m a researcher not a fighter anyway. As for leaving abruptly I probably could have left a note and I would have had it occurred to me you would endanger the mission on my behalf. I thought you would put saving the Wold ahead of the concerns on one tiny insignificant seer. I do tend to have a one track mind and I do get absent minded some times. Just ask Sprocket about some of the times I have misplaced things or forgot to eat lunch while working in the lab.” At the mention of his name and Agatha’s anecdotes the gnome merely nods. Agatha continues, “I get that you feel like I betrayed you, but I didn’t see it that way, like I said I left the pack to help you in your mission. I also wasn’t sure how you would react if I told you everything considering how judgy some of you are being now mayhap I was right. Also how do you know that you weren’t the ones being manipulated by Marteus, would it not be in his best interest for those that would align against him i.e Gargul and his champions and a penitent Kevintar and his champions to be at each other’s throats. One artifact blinded Gargul to what was going on, could not another artifact be employed to send false information about Kevintar? Just throwing that out there”

One of the background mooks seems equally upset at the idea that the Dragons were betrayed. ”Hey, if we wanted you dead we’d have just attack with the rest of the cult. Do you really think you would have won that fight? We risked our lives to save yours! Not something that would have happened if Kevintar was as evil as you think”

Gaelen adds, “I’m sorry that you thought Agatha was betraying you. I’m also sorry that she couldn’t be completely honest about what was going on. I honestly believe her heart is in the right place. As to why I believe Kevintar changed well he’s contacted me, we talked of many things and I made a pact with him. The domain that he has blessed me with is Self-Realization. Kevintar has had a very long time to think about what he did as one of Gargul’s punishers and he doesn’t want that to be his legacy. He wants to help others realize their best selves and atone for the wrong they have done. He too wants to atone for what he’s done by taking out Marteus. He figures if he can spare the mortal races the suffering Marteus would inflict then he can make up for the suffering he himself dished out while he was an enforcer for Gargul. He is expecting to do battle with Marteus when he is freed but he also expects to win and then to go on to help mortals find self improvement and redemption.”

"Maybe we wouldn't be this 'judgy' if you didn't keep doing 'judgy' things!" Tink just cannot believe Agatha "And what's with all this 'thought she was betraying you'? When a group of people take you into their care, put themselves into harms way to come save you, and you later reveal you had ulterior motives all along, that's betrayal! Pantheon give me patience. It's like I'm banging my head against a wall here"

Tink takes a deep breath and dismisses her invisibility spell. She turns to address the mook "Actually, yes. I think we would have won that fight. And based on my experience with your second here I wouldn't be surprised if you tried to stab us in the back later. That sounds like a Kevintar thing to do" She looks to Agatha "Just throwing that out there"

Tink points to Agatha and looks to Gaelen. She speaks more calmly now "I have zero trust in her. You should understand that your aligning with her does not give me a good reason to believe anything you have to say"

"I will trust in Gargul's will and do what has been asked."

To the party: "Did we tell Agatha about the artifact?"

Over the rings again, "Yeah, I think we did. We gave her all the information we had as we figured it would help her get the best visions to help us.
Again, remember our job is to free Kevintar. Ours is not to chose sides. I don't even think it's our job to prevent these people from jumping into the fight. Our duty is to free him and we are done."

Garret says over the rings, "Yes, I agree with Zane, let's continue on with freeing Kevintar. But hey, if you want to bring Gimp back into it, I recall he often said that Gargul couldn't see everything, so I'm betting that route will just give us the runaround."

Bosk again holds up his hand as he speaks, his deep barratone rising above the others as only a minoraur's can do. Let me assure you all that while there are some hurt feelings and a sense of betrayal, Kenintar will be judged on his own merits. Jancassis has granted me perfect control over my emotions, and I will not let them cloud things here.

Please, tell me more about this Self-realization domain. I do not know how gods get domains, but from a mortal point of view they do seem to align with interested nature.

Beri shakes his head at Bosk.
I'm not sure it helps to shout above everyone and then say you have perfect control over your emotions, it sends a mixed message.
In any case, I think we are all in agreement that the battle that is to come is not one meant for mortals to partake in, our place is only to set the stage for the true actors to play out their roles.

Anyway, standing around being suspicious isn't going to do us any good. If needed, we can cast some spells to verify everyone is now telling the whole truth, no hidden agendas or ulterior motives, and can get on with the task the gods have bestowed upon us.

Self realization?

It was a start.

"I think at this point speaking to Gimp is the way to go. That said, Gargul seems to like leaving mortals with choices in times like this. Martaeus is anathema to everything Serenbeth represented, and a lot of the reason why my goddess is dead. If we are left to our own decisions, and are forced to act, I'll be picking Kevintaur over the god slayer."

Friday March 15th, 2019 6:39:41 AM
Tink become really aggravated with Agatha and says that stabbing people in the back would be the Kevintar thing to do. She also tells Agatha she has zero trust in her and asks over the rings if anyone ever told Agatha about the artifact.

Zane points out that they did tell her about the artifact and that their job is to free Kevintar not to get involved in the fight.

Garret agrees with Zane but wonders if they would gain anything from bringing Gimp the Imp in on things or if would just end up with a runaround.

Bosk yells that he has complete that while some feel betrayed or have had their feelings hurt he is in complete control of his emotions and that Kevintar will be judged on his own merits. He then asks Gaelen more about the Self-Realization Domain.

Beri sends over the ring that shouting while claiming to have control over your emotions sends a mixed message. He then suggests they stop standing around looking suspicious and if need be they can cast some spells to verify that everyone is telling the truth and there are no more hidden agendas.

Restlin agrees with Tink.

Sesha says that if she has to choose she’d choose Kevintar over Marteas.

Agatha says, “I was clear about my main motivation. I always told you guys that I wanted to find a way to bring back Janiterri. I didn’t think I needed to reveal everything about every single step of my research at all times. A lot of what I found wasn’t really relevant. Besides, I would have told you about my experiment involving Kevintar prior to performing the ritual as that would have been when it was relevant. I’m sorry you feel like you can’t trust me and that I betrayed you but look at all the times I did help you prior to now, that has to count for something.”

Gaelen says, “The self realization domain gives me an ability called perfected form. I maintain an absolute sense of who I am and nothing can change that. While under this influence if I resist the effect of a polymorph, transmutation or petrification effect I get a surge of confidence that makes me hardier and more competent in battle. I also have the ability to become much stronger for a short period of time each day. I understand this is similar to an ability granted by the Strength domain. As for the spells I have access to from this domain they are: enlarge person, bull’s strength, magic vestment, paragon surge, righteous might, primal scream, transformation, clenched fist and crushing hand.

Let me just point out that I wasn’t always the best person. I stole and I had my problems with the drink. I hit rock bottom after having passed out in the tavern only to wake up in an alley without my wallet. I don’t know how it happened but I looked into a puddle and this dark form was there. He asked me who I was and what brought me to where I was. I hadn’t really given much thought as to how I got to where I was or who I had become. Somehow we were able to have a long talk about me and he made things seem like life could be better if I just wanted to become a better person. I decided to take him up on his offer, I quit the drink and tried to make what restitution I could to the people I had stolen from. I helped others I met better themselves too. I’d wager most if not all of the followers of Kevintar have had their own personal demons in the past that Kevintar or faith in Kevintar has helped them overcome. Kevintar really has changed and if you think about it, it is kind of like he is the positive version of Marteus. Where Marteus wants to improve the mortal races on a grand scale through purging them of their weakness using things like plagues and culls, which is twisted if you ask me, Kevintar seeks to uplift each individual making them stronger than they were previously by encouraging them to be better and overcoming their own weaknesses. I owe the man I am today to Kevintar’s blessing and if he needs to overcome Marteus to become his best self, then I intend to help him with that.

With most questions answered the party splits off from the Cultists and get a chance to contact Gargul and talk to the Custodian. Gargul’s response states that he does not know if Kevintar has truely changed and he trusts the Dragons to do what’s best. He also alerts the Dragons to events outside the tower. ”Marteous’s followers have been gathering. He might be becoming aware of his brother’s escape plans; if so expect an assault by his priests to stop the ritual.”

The Custodian reports that the unstable portal has grown worse. Several other portals are starting to act up and increasing numbers of monsters are being pulled through them. Attend to matters quickly and return.”

"Guys, let's get back to the Custodian and start cleaning up that mess. We can figure out the philosophy when the portal situation is done."

Restlin is still reaaaaal salty about all this. He was not ok with the way the followers of Kevintar glossed over how much damage the Death Dragon Cult did with Kevintar's power. Even IF Kevintar didn't intend for that to happen, it did. People died because the god allowed his power to be usurped by the cult. He, and his followers, don't get a pass on that.

...but like he said, there were probably bush demons to deal with right now.

Once the group starts back down, "We're all grown ups here, at least mostly grown up.
We've all seen at various times good people do something that to them was good as well as being good for those directly effected by the deed. But hundreds of miles away, that same action causes harm to another group of people.
An example would be damming up a river, locally is stores water and helps out those people. But down stream, it causes problems. Even nature might have trouble with that example... I'll just say one word, Salmon.
I imagine a God gives power to a worshiper, how it's used is not something he can dictate. He may have more than one domain, but even if he only has one, a Paladin would use those abilities a lot differently than someone who knows he's a criminal, but they both use those abilities from the same source.
Enough arguing, it's our jub to free him and let happen what is going to happen...."

Tink has more than said her piece. If her friends insist on finding an excuse to not be furious, that's on them. She's confident in her knowledge that what those people did was wrong.

...but fixing this demon portal problem was what's important now. She leads the way back down the hallway, making sure they don't stumble over undiscovered traps.

Bosk thinks for a moment. Although our group has mixed feelings on your actions, I think we want to give Kevintar the benefits of a doubt. However, things could get ugly real quick. Do you by any chance know of any weaknesses Mareatus may have, or that Kevintar have? I of course give my word never to reveal them, and only use them should Kevintar not have reformed or the fate of the Wild be at stake...I promise it for Kevintar at least. Marteaus...well, if we free Kevintar and Marteus defeats him...I worry about his wrath.

(OOC: Tink gets a hero point for excellent Role play)

Restlin suggests they go back and deal with the demon situation first before debating philosophy. He’s still really salty about the way things played out.

Garret agrees they should go smash some monsters before burping loudly.

Zane speaks over the rings about how sometimes actions have unintended consequences. He also talks about how if a God gives a power to a worshipper its use might not be something that the God can dictate. Even if a God had one domain a paladin and a criminal would use the power differently.

Beri asks the caretaker if the situation is dire enough that they need to forgo resting and recovering their spells. He also asks the followers of Kevintar for help dealing with the new threat.

Tink leads the way down, checking for any leftover traps.

Bosk asks about weaknesses of the gods.

Gaelen answers Bosk’s question, ”Kevintar has not the power of Marteous. We know nothing of how to weaken the evil god, but we have found a ritual that will empower our god temporarily, hopefully enough he will prevail. Should us and our god fall you will have to face Marteous’s wrath alone.”

The party descends quickly and they meet up again with Dock, Megaman, and Chuck. They clammer for details as to what happened.

For destroying the Death Dragon cult the party gains enough exp for level 20. Take some time to level up, we’ll start combat Monday.

Saturday March 16th, 2019 12:31:41 PM

Sesha has a hard time understanding the feelings of Tink and Restlin. Perhaps she was more self serving than the others, and her neutral bent made it easier for her to find justification in the actions of the other witches.

The fact they were witches, too, could have been part of her hesitance to condemn the pair.

Time would show if she was a fool who was too complacent.

Sesha has a hard time understanding the feelings of Restlin and Tink. She wonders if it is because the others were witches and if she is being a fool. She reasons only time will tell.

Wyaar states that he does not want to face any God reasoning it is not their task. He tries to give an unbiased account to the others.

After filling in the non-combatants on recent events the party hurries down to the portal room. The Custodian meets them outside of the room. ”The malfunctioning portals are pulling random monsters and people through. They have begun fighting each other. My servitors have a way to seal the portal, but cannot make it through the battlezone. Clear out the enemies and assist my servitors in closing the portals.”

On the way down Beri makes sure to grab the elemental swarm that has been waiting for him since they had nothing better to do. three huge earth elemental and a greater earth elemental have added to their numbers since he left.

Beri recognizes that not everyone here is fighting out of malice, and wants to give them a sporting chance... though he is aware they were betrayed last time.
Listen up all you who were pulled in here, anyone that just wants to go home call out your peaceful intentions and stop attacking anyone else that does the same, and we will see that you get home. Obviously, anyone lying to backstab others will meet swift retribution.


Beri then repeats the message for in any languages needed in addition to common, and relays to all who is claiming to be friendly.

If there is a large group of people wishing to be violent, Beri will cast reverse gravity on them as having been randomly pulled in should have no pre-planned defense for it.

The earth elementals pile in, but don't attack until they see who may be friendly ( one large earth elemental is earth gliding under each larger elemental... I didn't place them on the map because I don't plan on using them )

Garret points out what a mess it is in the portal room. He asks more about the portals that suck people in.
(OOC: We meant to take the weekend but yeah this combat had to happen now so if you don’t level up for this combat; there will be future combats we promise)

Zane casts haste and pulls his kama

Restlin throws a slow spell effecting the chicken demons, barbarians and the robot anniliator. The robot is slowed, one of the chicken demons is slowed, all of the barbarians are slowed.

Sesha and Tink ready counter spells.

Wyarr activates the buffs on his bow.

Beri calls out for peaceful surrender. Unfortunately the room is in complete chaos, with all kinds of things attacking each other, and it’s unclear if everyone’s ignoring him, didn’t understand him, or are just to busy fighting for their lives to follow his directions. (the spell lasts 10 minutes per level right? You guys have been running up and down the tower for about 12 hours, it’s been at least 8 since you first summoned those elementals).

Bosk tries to figure out who's on what side. As far as he can tell the Barbarians are trying not to die to the Chicken Demons, the undead are trying to take down the giant robot, and the giant robot is trying to kill everyone. And the bushes are hiding in the back so they can spawn new demons as soon as the current batch dies.

The Robot Annihilator uses suppression fire. Everyone in a 100 foot cone is attacked vs AC 36 for 25 damage - it hits all 6 Barbarians, but the Chicken Demon and Bosk manage to avoid it.

The 2 chicken woman demons fire their exploding wing blade flechettes. The first one hits all of the Barbarians and demon 2. The second one targets the party.

Most of the Barbarians fail their saves.

Everyone in a 40 foot radius behind Bosk has to make a DC 27 reflex save or take 51 damage and 7 bleed damage; 25 damage with no bleed on successful save from the second demon.

The undead fighters move up 40 feet and then start doing dazzling displays with their dwarven urgroshes. 4 of the Barbarians are shaken; the demons and annihilator are unphased.

The undead rangers start firing with their longbows at the Annihilator but they can’t penetrate it’s thick armor.

The 6 barbarians pile into the Chicken demon. WIth so many shaken and all of them slowed they only land two hits though and neither beats the DR.

The portal on the far right crackles and lets out a high pitched keening noise before spitting out some sort of rotting lizard person holding a staff and looking about in confusion.

The Custodian tells the party, ”There is no fear of being drawn in from this side. There are plates designed to cover and suppress the portals; my servitors have lost many throughout the room.”

Now that you’re looking you can see them. They’re strewn all over the place. They look kind of unwieldy, but it looks like they could be scooped up by anyone crossing the room and attached in less than a minute (about 3 rounds). More people helping would make it faster of course.

One of the portals is already covered (the one marked in green).

Annihilator: 3 (slowed)

Chicken Demon 2: (slowed)

Barbarian 1: 78 (slowed)
Barbarian 2: 78 (slowed)
Barbarian 3: 46 (shaken, slowed 3 rounds)
Barbarian 4: 78 (shaken, slowed 3 rounds)
Barbarian 5: 78 (shaken, slowed 3 rounds)
Barbarian 6: 78 (shaken, slowed 3 rounds)

Quickly ducking behind Bosk, avoiding all damage from the wing blade...things. These demons were so weird.

Restlin continues softening up the targets in front of Bosk, this time throwing a confusion spell in the mix.

Cast confusion at the intersection of barb 3&4 and the chicken demon. Should hit both chickens, all the barbarians except #1, and the robot. Will save DC is 28. SR check is 36 (please let me know if this check is needed).

Garret says, "Undead and demons fighting one another? Tell me again why we're stepping into the middle of this?" Then he shrugs and says, "Well, I guess I can go over and try and stop the things that are producing more demons."

The Grim Avenger then lobs a bead from his necklace of fireballs at the bush (assuming it is not yet dead)

Restlin ducks behind Bosk to avoid the exploding wing blades and then throws a confusion spell in the midst of the Barbarians, the chicken demons and the robot.
The robot is immune to the spell, Both chicken demons resist the confusion (Will: 33,38) and the barbarians see number 2 and number 4 fail their saves while the others succeed.

Garret sees the demons and the undead fighting each other and asks what they are doing stepping in the middle. He shrugs and then uses abundant step to pop up behind the bush of love. He hits it with an unarmed strike but the attack is slightly blunted by the Bush’s resistances. (hit but for only 55 damage)

Wyaar dodges most of the attacks and then follows up with a barrage of arrows targeting the first bush of love, utterly destroying it.

Beri starts summoning a giant.

Zane enlarges himself (the link is the same for everyone so everyone should be able to do the same stuff… are you logged into google docs?)

Bosk starts to throw a bead but realizes the bush is dead. The second bush is in range and alive though. (I’ll get back to you on the tech)

He also tries to judge the time. It took them about 7 hours to go up the tower. The trip down after the last combat took only 3 now that the party was familiar with the path and not having to check for traps constantly. Add in combat, food breaks, and other things and they’ve spent about 12 hours just running up and down the tower.

Tink also tries to target the bush that’s dead. Since it’s dead she hits the other one which makes it’s save.

The robot annihilator fires off another burst of suppression fire hitting the barbarians again but missing the chicken demon and Bosk. (35 vs AC; 33 damage)

Chicken Demon 1 uses a full attack against barbarian 6 hitting with all 6 attacks and killing the barbarian.

Chicken Demon 2 fires a second exploding flechette blade targeting the square Bosk inhabits. (Everyone with in 40 feet of Bosk must make a DC 27 reflex save or take 37 damage and 10 bleed damage. If you succeed you only take 18 damage with no bleed)

The 2 undead fighters start attack the annihilator with their ugroshes. The first one hits twice for 18 damage total and the second also hits twice for 21 damage total.

The undead rangers continue their attack with bows against the annihilator. This time 3 of their arrows hit but the creature’s damage reduction is able to shrug off their paltry effort.

The Undead Mage walks up and pokes the Annihilator. It is frozen in an Imprisonment spell, completely motionless and unaffected by time.

The Barbarians attack the demons again but they’re clearly outmatched.

The portal on the left glows and spits out some sort of robot.

Annihilator: 27 damage (imprisoned)

Bush of Love 1 (dead)
Bush of Love 2: 42

Chicken Demon 2: (slowed)

Barbarian 1: 78 (slowed)

Tink keeps an eye on that undead mage. If it can cast spells like that it might likely pose a big threat.

Restlin whips out his maximize rod and channels a cone of cold through it. Both chicken demons are hit head on by the cone but they appear to have a slight bit of cold resistance as they don’t look as damaged as they should by the spell (Resist Cold 20). One of the barbarian makes the save

Garret flurries on the new robot that appeared, it appears similar in build to the robot masters they fought previously but it does not appear to have any special weapons the way the masters they fought did. Still though it is a tough nut to crack as only 6 of Garret’s strike connected, he didn’t get past the forcefield and the robot’s defensives resisted some of the damage. (52 damage total)

Zane avoids one of the exploding wing blades again and then returns fire at chicken demon 1. Only 1 of the oversized arrows hits and the demon regnerates some of the damage (DR 15/good and silver)

Wyarr finishes off the bush.

Beri has his giant cast Chain Lightning

Sesha heals Wyarr and sends her minions to attack a chicken demon. (http://legacy.aonprd.com/bestiary3/dybbuk.html#dybbuk)

Tink prepares to attack the mage should it attack the party.

The annihilator robot is imprisoned.

Chicken demon 1 takes a 5 foot step and then continues to attack the nearest Barbarians. It drops Barbarian 5 with 2 claws, Barbarian 4 with a bite and wings and then follows up on Barbarian 3 with its talons. Barbarian 3 is still standing, barely.

The 2 undead fighters seem to recognize the undead mage. They nod their decaying heads at him and then rush Bosk with their ugroshes. Both would have hit but Bosk was blinking out of the way just as the second spear point lands. Bosk takes 16 damage (44 vs AC; 16 damage; 60 vs 50% on blink)

The 2 undead skeletal rangers are also without their target of choice. They decide to open fire on chicken demon 2. Between the 2 of them they manage to hit her 4 times but their attacks cannot overcome her damage reduction either.

The undead mage notes how many ranged characters there are and casts Solid Fog. The area is filled with a thick mist (vision reduced, ranged attacks that aren’t rays don’t work, -2 to melee)

The portals glow and crackle. The second to the left spits out a Bush of Love.

Annihilator: 27 damage (imprisoned)

Robot: 59 damage

Bush of Love 1 (dead)
Bush of Love 2: (dead)

Those bushes are annoying. Tink waits for the bush to either die or move. She intends to block the portal for herself - even if only temporarily.

Ready action: When the front of the portal is clear Tink will cast a Wall of Force flush up against it. For any Stargate fans, think iris :)

(forgot how much damage the large sized missile launcher does)

"Well, very unimpressive." He drops the bow and pulls one of the rocket launchers from his haversack, it'll be the one that is only half full.
He then launches a rocket at the space between the Bush and the robot. close to the wall, trying to keep Bosk out of the area of effect.
Zane yells out, "FIRE in the the hole!!"

(DM, just roll the damage please, I think it's 12d6 for large, but not positive.)

Bosk unloads on the robot, his weapon clanking off its metal sides, yet doing nothing. Only one attack lands, but it is not the critical strike he was hoping for.

Hit A38 (Nat 20!), confirm crit 21 for 23dmg (40dmg if sneak is allowed, destroyed if 30 somehow confirms a crit)

Tink readies an action to cast a wall of force against the portal as soon as the front is clear.

Zane grabs his missile launcher and fires it between the bush and the robot. The robot dodges some of the blast but the Bush takes full damage.

Restlin swaps out his maximize rod for a quicken one. He quickly turns greater invisible and then casts mage on the Bush. The Bush gets sent to an extra-dimensional maze and Tink fires off her wall.

Garret continues to flurry against the Robot. His blows continue to be partially resisted but he only misses once this time. He slowly is making progress as the forcefield has dropped.

Beri finishes his summoning and his giants attack. The chain lightning does just enough to finish off the robot.

Bosk makes sure the robot is dead.

Wyarr frowns and heals himself, unsure what to do.

The annihilator is still imprisoned
The bush fails to figure its way out of the maze

The 2 undead fighters turn on the giant and start attacking it after taking 5 foot steps.
Fighter 1 hits 3 times ( 40 ;38 ; 33 vs AC for 16, 19 and 18 damage)
Fighter 2 hits 5 times with a critical on the first strike (53 with 50 vs AC to confirm for 49 damage; 43 vs AC for 18 damage ; 34 vs AC for 16 damage ; 31 vs AC for 18 and 43 vs AC for 16 damage)

Chicken Demon 1 charges after Bosk but she misses.

Chicken Demon 2 fires an exploding wing blade flechette targeting Wyaar. (Anyone within 40 feet of Wyaar has to make a DC 27 Reflex save or take 46 damage and 8 bleed damage; if you succeed you only take 23 damage and no bleed)

The 2 undead rangers currently not effected by the fog turn their bows at Bosk. Only one arrow hits (42 vs AC; 90 vs 50% on blink; 5 magical piercing + 1 cold damage to Bosk)

Tink’s wall of force is covering the middle portal. It’s already starting to show damage and will likely only last a few rounds.

Nothing new comes through the portals this round.

Restlin easily ducks and weaves, avoiding all the feathers (reflex save 44). Unfortunately, he's also running low on magic. It's been a long day.

He throws a black tentacles up in the corner, casting it just short of hitting Bosk. He then moves to avoid his voice giving away his location.

Sesha sighs, looking over the battlefield. This wasn't going to feel good at all. She grabs a sewing needle from her pouch, and jabs it into her left eye, muffling a shout of pain with gritted teeth. She blinds her right eye, then uses her pain, and lack of sight, to power a spell.

Sesha casts Living Voodoo Doll, affecting 7 enemies. 2 chicken demons, 3 barbarians, and 2 undead fighters are all blinded, as is Sesha. No save. Beats SR 39

Dybbuk moves to Beriothian, and it casts Greater Heroism on him. If he can't cast, maybe he can shift and fight.

Witchfire attacks UF 1 from a distance with a ranged bolt. Hits touch AC 26 for 29 damage. Will save DC 22 or gain fire weakness.

Beri sees his giant fall and starts to summon an elder earth elementals. The second giant attacks the chicken demon. The chicken demon gets hit twice for 40 damage total (no crit)

Restlin avoids the exploding feather and then casts Black Tentacles grappling the undead rangers.

Sesha whips out a needle and blinds herself as she casts living voodoo dolls taking the sight of the 2 demons, 3 barbarians and 2 undead fighters with hers. Her Dybbuk casts greater heroism on Wyaar and her witch fire shoots a bolt of flame at the undead fighter. The fighter resists the effect.

Tink digs into her pearls of power and fires off some scorching rays at undead fighter 1. She destroys it with her first ray then turns her remaining fire on undead fighter 2.

Zane fires another missile towards the grappled rangers. They both manage to avoid only some of the blast and take 20 fire and 13 bludgeoning.

Wyaar returns fire at the chicken demon hitting twice.

Bosk fixes one of the plates on a portal (no roll, it just takes 3 rounds - attaching 2 plates then properly sealing them. Multiple chars can contribute do it faster)

The bush fails to find its way out of the maze.

Chicken Demon 1 takes a full attack at Bosk. (50 vs AC; 70 on miss chance; 16 damage, 42 vs AC; 71 on miss chance; 13 damage, 44 vs AC 91 on miss chance, 1 damage) (OOC: so 20 damage total; applied your DR already)

Chicken Demon 2 lashes out at one of the barbarians and hits. The barbarian is still alive barely.

The fighter blindly moves North west from its previous position.

The 2 rangers try to escape the grapple but fail.

The mage casts Energy Drain on Wyarr but misses.

One Barbarian babbles in confusion. The others drink potions of invisibility and try to run away.

The portal’s continue to worsen. Two of them spit out enemies this time, some undead on the right and some strange, tiny monkey things from the 2nd to the left.

The wall Tink made holds for another round; it looks like it might last for 1 more.

"Ok guys, we need to close the portals or we're gonna be fighting these things forever."

Restlin rummages around in his component pouch. He flicks a crystal aside and finds a small bit of yak fur he'd forgotten about. "Perfect," he says to no one in particular. He rapidly rubs it against his maximize rod, avoiding any uncomfortable or inappropriate puns, and lets a chain lighting loose against their enemies.

Zane stops shooting missiles and casts a spell.
He casts Shadow Evocation, creating a wall of ice in front of 2 of the portals, the one north of Bosk, at an angle on the map and the the one to the right. He has 22 squares of Ice Wall 10f tall, might only be 1" thick, but it might keep them out. It runs flush with the portal and then along the wall. With quad thickness over the portals, unless they are taller than 10' then only double thickness over the portals.

"Restlin, that help?"

(will get Zane leveled on Wednesday hopefully, recovering today and am on road tomorrow and Thursday)

Restlin points out that they need to close the portals or they will be fighting things forever. He pulls out his maximize rod, pressing his luck successfully and casting chain lightning hitting Undead Rangers 1 and 2 and fighters 3 and 4. None make the save and they all take 90 damage but a spell protecting the Rangers absorbs all of it.
His tentacles grapple all 3 undead creatures.

Garret scrambles towards the plate

Zane creates an ice barrier in front of a couple of portals

Beri also creates a barrier but his is made of stone. His Giant and his elemental turn on the nearby chicken demon. The Giant misses but the elemental hits both times though the attacks are somewhat blunted.

Wyaar unloads another volley on the chicken demon hitting 4 times

Bosk assists Garret and the pair of them are able to seal the portal.

Tink wonder’s how they’re supposed to seal the portals - the invisible servants left large plates lying around that can be used to seal the gates. It takes 3 rounds to do it, less if multiple people work together. She does manage to dispel the solid fog.

The bush fails to get out of the maze

Chicken Demon 1 blindly lashes out at the elemental that is near it. It hits with a bite and a wing (34 vs AC; 95 vs miss chance; 16 damage) (29 vs AC; 68 vs miss chance; 11 damage) (OOC already applied DR)

Chicken Demon 2 blindly lashes out at the nearby babbling barbarian killing him.

Undead FIghter 1 moves around blindly

The 2 rangers and the 2 undead fighters try to escape the grapple but they all fail.

The mage tries to hit Wyarr with a ray again but continues to roll poorly.

The first Barbarian makes his roll and manages to successfully flee the battle and the third hits himself in the head with the flat of his sword.

The strange monkey looking creatures start chanting, “Puppy Monkey Baby, Puppy Monkey Baby, Puppy Monkey Baby.” to a strange tribal drum beat. Bosk must make a DC 36 will save or start dancing with the creatures, taking 1d4 con drain and act as if under the effect of an irresistible dance spell.

With one portal sealed and the other's walled off nothing new comes through. However the forcewall finally fails, and the wall of ice is quickly melted by the wild magic being thrown off by the portal. The stone wall looks like it will last another round.

Tink is surprised that her dispel attempt took care of the solid fog wall. She replaces her wall of force with one made of stone.

Garret yells at Bosk to stop playing with the monkeys and help him seal some portals. He manages to attach one of the plates.

Bosk remarks how cute the monkey creatures are and continues working on sealing a portal. He replies to Garret that the monkeys are mind control monkeys and he has multiple sealed already.

Zane fires another rocket at the undead grappled in the tentacles. Despite the tentacles they all manage to avoid some of the blast. However the weakened blast still kills the fighters

Restlin telekinetically assists Garret with the cover.

Beri points out that he doesn’t know how long the stone wall will last.
His giant attacks the undead fighter hitting once.
His elder elemental continues to attack the chicken demon, grazing it but not critically.

Sesha readies an action to heal whoever comes over and touches her.

Wyarr kills chicken demon 2 and damages 1 some.

Chicken Demon 1 blindly lashes out at the elemental that is near it, hitting with a talon and a wing (90 vs miss chance; 36 vs AC; 16 damage w/ DR applied) (90 v miss chance; 46 vs AC; 8 damage w/ DR applied)

Undead FIghter 2 attacks the giant (95 vs miss chance; 33 vs AC; 14 damage)

The 2 rangers try to escape the grapple but they both fail.

The mage eyes the situation. ”I surrender.” he calls out. He sits down cross legged and lays his staff upon his lap.

Barbarian 3 makes his confusion save and flees.

The puppy-monkey-babies do not get any dance partners from Garret and Bosk but one of them manages to touch Bosk with its laughing touch ability. Bosk bursts out laughing for 1 round. Bosk can only take a move action but can defend himself normally. Bosk is also immune to further laughing touch attacks for 24 hours.

Some more of the small dancing creatures emerge from the portal ( I believe no one blocked it with a wall). The stone wall on the right fails.

Instead, he picks up another cover w/ his telekinesis and maneuvers it towards the open portal by the rangers.

Zane takes to the air, stashes the rocket launcher and flies across the room.

Beri appreciates the surrender of the Mage and asks his help in sealing hte portals. His summons fight the other undead. The giant hits once, the elemental twice.

Restlin uses telekinesis to put a plate on a portal.

Tink points out they need an undead for the ritual and the mage might do.

Garret gets a second plate on.

Sesha waits to see if someone requests healing.

The puppy monkey babies work together to spread their irresistible dance. Everyone except for Bosk and Garret must save vs DC 40 will or begin dancing and take 4 con damage (summons included. Dancing characters can take no actions). It is a mind affecting compulsion.

The bush fails to escape the maze.

Chicken demon seems immune to the dance and lashes out at the earth elemental (84 vs miss chance; 49 vs AC; 12 damage) (96 vs miss chance; 37 vs AC; 10 damage) (59 vs miss chance; 47 vs AC; 1 damage) (OOC: already applied DR)

Zane uses a Hero Point to refrain from succumbing to the vile dancing monkeys. Now if it'd been dancing babies, he'd most likely be dancing right now.

Restlin’s tentacles keep grappling the undead including the new fighters who just showed up. He also attaches a plate.

Beri starts summoning some elementals to help with the covers.
His giant hits once, destroying the blind fighter.
The elemental hits twice but both attacks seem to be dulled by the demons abilities (know [religion] 36: Highlight to display spoiler: { DR / good and silver })

Tink uses her magic circle against evil to help any of her allies should they start dancing.

Zane heroically resists the dance and manages to seal the portal on the right.

Bosk and Garret together manage to seal the other two portals.

Wyarr shoots the demon thrice and gets it lowish.

The bush is still trapped in the maze.

Bosk happened to be protected in case of the contingency where he was actually attacked by magic missiles and the puppy monkey babies all have their spells absorbed by his brooch of shielding which is looking significantly worse for the wear.

Beri summons more elementals only to have them show up too late to help close the portals but not too late to deal with the menace known as the puppy monkey baby.
The Elder Elemental and Giant remain trapped in the puppy monkey baby dance.
(OOC: The puppy monkey baby dance is a communal aura extended from all the puppy monkey babies that is currently still in effect. The new elementals must save vs the dance too or start dancing themselves = will DC 40)

His muzzle changes into a Dragons muzzle and then releases a breath weapon on them....

The black tentacles keep doing their thing, grappling with a CMB check of 43 and doing 6 damage to all held undead.

Restlin is surprised the bush was able to evade his grapple. He felt pretty sure he'd got a good hold on it.. Not that it matters since it's dead now. Anyway, Restlin pulls out Shiny and uses his arcane bond to cast one last chain lightning spell, hitting all the monkies plus the last bush (just in range). Unfortunately, his maximize rod is spent.

Zane breathes lightning on the puppy monkey babies. (OOC: the breathe weapon is only 12d6 per the rules: Whenever you cast a spell with an energy descriptor that matches your draconic bloodline’s energy type, that spell deals +1 point of damage per die rolled. Breathe weapons are listed as supernatural abilities not spells. So the breathe weapon does 12d6 or 40 instead of the 52.

Garret attacks the bush.

Restlin keeps grappling with his tentacles. He then pulls out shiny and casts a chain lightning on the puppy monkey babies and the bush.

Sesha dispels her blindness effect.

Tink starts to scrape for the last of her spells and abilities. She isn't going to quit this fight while she still has any sort of ability up her sleeve.

She uses her Acid Dart ability combined with an Impromptu Sneak attack against Monkey 2

--------------------
Impromptu sneak attack + Acid Dart

Acid Dart Hits Touch AC38 for 6pts damage + 19pts non-lethal sneak-attack damage.

Impromptu Sneak attack: Once per day an arcane trickster can declare one melee or ranged attack she makes to be a sneak attack (the target can be no more than 30 feet distant if the impromptu sneak attack is a ranged attack). The target of an impromptu sneak attack loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, but only against that attack. The power can be used against any target, but creatures that are not subject to critical hits take no extra damage (though they still lose any Dexterity bonus to AC against the attack).

Zane accepts a AoO as he moves directly to where the monkeys are and lands amungst them (if they are tiny or smaller Zane can land per the rules as he is more than 3 sizes larger than they are) He'll take 1 attack on them.

"I'm messed up over here, and that chicken thing latched a claw into me and tore out a chuck of flesh with part of the organs beneath it. My hand ain't doing a thing towards stopping the bleeding, matter of fact, I'm doing a good job of painting the floor a deep shade of red where ever I fly."

Bosk sees Zane bleeding all over the floor and quickly flies over to him. Using a scroll he casts heal on his brother taur. You owe me for this. It is now officially your job to remind me to buy more heal scrolls the next time we are by a shop. Fair enough? Bosk says this only half in jest. He has had a terrible time remembering to restock spent scrolls, potions, and expendable goods and all too often found himself lacking the desired item of late.

Zane Heal immediately ends : ability damage, blinded, confused, dazed, dazzled, deafened, diseased, exhausted, fatigued, feebleminded, insanity, nauseated, poisoned, sickened, and stunned. It also cures 150 hit points .

Tink is starting to run out of abilities so she throws an acid dart at puppy monkey baby 2 combined with an impromptu sneak attack.

Restlin is also running low on spells and he fires off some scorching rays at puppy monkey baby 8.

Garret flurries at the bush telling it to stop making things while he does so. He is successful for in the wake of his aftermath all that remains is a disorganized pile of sticks.

Beri dispel attempt beats the monkeys so the aura is dispelled. He readies another dispel in case the aura returns.
Beri’s giant, elder elemental and huge elementals all gang up on the Chicken Demon. It takes 101 damage from the combined assaults.

Zane moves to attack and comments on his low health. He manages to finish of a heavily weakened enemy (they are tiny and get no AoO).

Beri moves over and heals Zane.

The undead are still caught in the grapple.

The chicken demon attacks the elder earth elemental for 103 damage total (DR applied)

GM Question: AoO's on the monkeys as they ran away? Zane would have 5.

"You expect me to remember? I'll do what I can but no promises."

Zane flies over Wyarr's head, missing him by inches and again attacks the monkey's.....

He misses as he's still recovering a bit and trying to stay on the monkeys, hoping to draw their ire.

Wyaar heals himself and was going to attack the Bush but it got destroyed by Garret so instead he moves down the line of puppy monkey babies taking 2 out.

Restlin imbues Bosk with a bit of luck while his tentacles keep grappling. This time the grappling isn’t enough to keep holding the undead.

Garret moves over to the bush and starts attacking

Zane tries to attack the monkeys but fails.

Tink hits puppy monkey baby 3 (it was already dead, I just forgot to edit HP tracker after deleting it from the map)

Beri urges his summons to attack the chicken demon while readying to counter spell further auras from the puppy monkey babies. His storm giant and elder elementals do more damage.

Bosk attacks! The bush is already dead, but the demon is in range.

The Rangers and the Fighters move to get out of the grappling tentacles.

The chicken demon continues to attack the elder elemental.
Talon 1 (36 vs AC; 15 damage)
Talon 2 (41 vs AC; 16 damage)

Bosk watches as Beri and Wyaar take care of the Chicken Demon, and figures Zane would take it as an insult if he disposed of the monkey for him. Instead he flies over to to the undead and attacks the fighter. (Unless I missed something about them surrendering, then attack whatever is an enemy that is still fighting.)

Hit AC 46 for 20 dmg + 15 sneak dmg = 35dmg

Extra Action: If anyone tries to free the annihilator Bosk will use a hero point to try to interrupt their casting by using his sword (hit AC 40 for 20dmg+12 sneak) or fireball for 17dmg if out of his reach

Restlin imparts a bit of luck into Bosk again and then moves towards Wyaar.

Garret slams into the chicken demon again.

Zane flies at the monkeys.

Wyaar heals himself and then starts firing at the monkeys again. He kills another leaving one more.

Beri’s summons crit and take down the chicken demon.

Bosk smacks an undead, but doesn’t kill it.

Sesha heals Wyarr (sorry, I forgot to post until the last minute so forgot in my rush to post)

The other undead seeing the mage’s calm demeanor and its surrender as well as the fact that they are severely outnumbered also throw down their weapons.

The remaining puppy monkey baby does something unimportant, then dies when someone swats it. (going to end combat now, no point in wasting a day for 1 10 hp mob).

Restlin looks around. Portals are all closed. Enemies are all dead or surrendered.

"So, we got this take care of, yea? All good?" He points to the undead. "What are we to do with those guys? Seems unfriendly to kill a surrendering enemy, even if they are undead." He looks to Bosk, figuring the Grim probably had the strongest opinion on the matter.

Bosk wipes his blade off and places or over his shoulder. Over the ring he says, We need to learn what we can as quickly as possible. From what I can tell, these things are more intelligent than the average undead. If they are from another plane if existence, they might be misplaced and able to be returned as opposed to destroyed. I do no know how Gargul views the undead in other planes. Either way, Gargul gave us a higher priority mission. That supercedes their undeath for the time being.

She looks at her Dyubbuk, then speaks over the ring.

"We don't have a lot of time left with that one. It's not free-willed, just dominated. It's probably time to end it when you brusiers are ready."

There is a place for righteous anger and standing up up to evil. When I was younger, I was Gargul's hand and enforced his will. Then he elevated me to serve as his Grim. He had tasked me with being concerned with trapped spirits who cannot go on to their afterlife in the Lands of Rest -- spirits that are trapped against their will, excluding spawned and evil-aligned undead who have been corrupted and now choose their unlife. These appear to be the former. Grims find these lost souls, figure out what binds them, and then free them. Even among Grims, I am set apart. A paladin for the dead where Gargul's domain overlaps Jancassis'. To my knowledge, I am the only Grim Avenger currently in his service. I cannot full fill that roll if I spend all my time carrying out the tasks meant for his Eyes (clerics).

The Horned Cleric knows Sesha is also referring to the fact that he had a reputation for charging headlong into battle by himself while everyone else took time to buff up.

It might have seemed he acted out of anger, but he also knows how to judge his opponents and the risk. Furthermore, he knows if there is a damsel in distress or the others need him to serve as a meat shield to draw the enemies attacks in order for the group to survive that he likely do so again. Both for their sake, because it is the right thing to do, and because seeing the servant of Gargul being the first to charge in to help and stand against evil will only help build the god's followers on the Southern Continent.

The overseer should be able to keep an eye on these guys, warn us if anything is off. We should probably warn them of the horribly trapped hallways as well.

I know we are in a hurry, but several of us are tapped out, and we've been up for probably 40 hours now. We should take a quick nap now that the building is secure, and refresh our spells. I know we aren't planning on fighting a god, but I expect there to be plenty of fallout and possible a more people wanting to interrupt the plans Gargul has laid out.

Zane, did we have anyone left we need to find besides free willed undead?

Restlin asks what they should do with the surrendered undead considering it seems wrong to kill a surrendered enemy even if they are undead.

Garret relaxes and pulls out a bit of bread.

Bosk opines they learn what they can as quickly as possible and postulates that the undead could be returned to their dimension if they are merely replaced.

Zane points out they need another free willed undead for the ritual

Tink nods at Bosk’s wisdom

Sesha is also impressed by Bosk and then points out that the Dybbuk won’t be dominated for much longer.

Bosk explains how his philosophy has changed over the years and as the only Grim Avenger in Gargul’s service he points out he can’t fulfil this role if he is doing tasks normally reserved for Eyes.

Beri suggests the overseer could watch the undead and suggests they take a nap considering so many people are tapped out he also asks about what they need for the ritual.

Wyaar agrees about resting and then asks about what they are going to do with the prisoners.

Tink agrees they could do with a rest but figures they need some way to keep the mage under control.

(OOC: You need 5 hearts and 5 ritual participants. 2 free willed constructs, 2 free willed undeads and a free willed construct / undead hybrid to complete the ritual. You currently have megaman (free willed construct / undead hybrid) and dock ( free willed construct) and one of the hearts you need.)

The Undead Mage confers with the Rangers and Fighters for a few moments and then steps forward and says, “I do not know how I or my compatriots came to be here but from what I can tell this is a different realm from that of our lord’s. All I want is a way for my compatriots and I to get home. We arrived near that portal. If you unseal it and let us go, then if you ever find yourselves in our lord’s realm, we will do what you can to aid you.” He points to one with structured classical columns.

"It seems they can be rationalized with, which is a good thing. It wouldn't seem honorable to fight them now that they have surrendered. We've had a long day. Shall we just let them go and be done with it, or should we try and persuade the mage to help us for a while?"

Tink takes hold of her holy symbol in case the others have questions to ask the mage

Sense Motive check: 36

With a successful Sense Motive check secretly opposed by either a Will save or a Bluff check (target's choice), the justicar can tell when a target creature is lying, just like a Discern Lies spell. However, the justicar must be holding his holy symbol and concentrating on a target creature for this ability to function. If the target is deliberately lying or trying to mislead the justicar, the symbol glows with a pure white light. If the target is telling the truth, or wins the sense motive check, or unknowingly tells a lie, the symbol stays dark.

"Even if they are evil, we don't get to throw decorum out the window. They probably didn't come here by choice, surrendered, and just want to go home."

Restlin tries to remember if the ritual participants are...consumed in the ritual. They're not, right? These undead could help us out, then return home uninjured?

Detect evil on undead mage. As move action focused on one individual it is as though having studied for three rounds.

It seems the party are mostly in agreement. If Wyarr doesn't detect any evil she will speak.

"Very well. We have no quarrel with you. We will help you return to your homes." Tink gives a polite nod "However we do have a small ask of you before you go. To help us fulfill a task, we are in need of the service of a free-willed, uh, non-living being. Would you be able to assist us? It is your free decision to make. Should you choose not to we will still help you to leave"

Tink points out the undead could be rationalized with and then asks if they should let them go or try to get the mage to help them.

Garret continues munching on his bread and then asks over the rings if the undead are evil.

Restlin thinks about if the undead are consumed by the ritual and then wonders if the mage could be convinced to help them with the ritual.

Wyaar does a detect evil. The mage is very much evil, as is one of the fighters. The others do not register, so they are either not evil or have detection blocking spells active.

Zane suggests they ask politely to see if the mage could help.

Sesha requests that someone dispach her mind controlled monster.

Tink makes the request.

The mage when entretied to help with the ritual says, “I wish to consult with my liege lord before participating in a ritual in another’s service. I imagine he would ascent to this request for someone in his court to be participating but mayhap you would want someone from my lord’s court with a higher standing than myself. There are many blessed in the manner that I and my compatriots have been in service to our lord. Mayhap he may even know where to find one of those artifacts you spoke of. He is very wise and he has reigned for many years, accumulating much knowledge.”

The Custodian returns. "It is possible to return them without risk of more coming through the portal if you are swift."

Beri asks the others a quick question over their rings.
Does standing matter at all from what we know about our task? If not, it may be worth pointing out that someone gravely hurt or ill could may want to volunteer... if hurt and ill apply to undead of their realm.

He then addresses the group before them.
We should have no problem moving swiftly enough to get you home safely if we make sure you are ready to head through as soon as the portal is unsealed.

Garret looks over at Sesha, then at the Dybbuk. He looks back at Sesha and while eating bread with one hand, casually punches the Dybbuk in the head with his other hand. "Mmmff?"

If Garret's head punch doesn't end the dybbuk, Restlin is happy to stick Shiny someplace important.

If Restlin feels these undead are trustworthy, he's willing to go along with their request. Otherwise, he warns his friends via their rings.

With the closing of the unstable portals the tech is all once again rendered useless. The dead Barbarians had some basic gear and nothing they were wearing indicates a location they might have come from, at least not that you've heard of. Three fled and three died, and the dead were carrying:

+1 shadow breastplate with armor spikes, +1 buckler, nine lives stealer, masterwork composite longbow (+5 Str) with 20 arrows, belt of giant strength +2, chime of opening, cloak of resistance +2, hat of disguise, disguise kit, 50 gp

"Ok. What about this: We let them return through the portal to their realm. They might be evil but we aren't. We then reseal the portal behind them and get some rest. If they come from an evil place then we can't just walk through the portal and expect to be safe"

Tink tries to recall exactly what plane they are currently on. Is it the normal material plane?

DM Mitch 
Wednesday April 10th, 2019 5:10:17 AM
Beri questions whether standing matters as to who could participate. He then suggests rather than using standing they ask for someone weak or ill if undead from their native realm can become weak or ill. He suggests that if the undead move quickly enough they can be sent home okay.

Garret splits his gaze between the Dybbuk and Sesha a few times before bopping it soundly on the head.

Restlin helps Garret end the Dybbuk using shiny. He then tries to ascertain if the undead can be trusted. The mage seems to be earnest in his desire to just be back where he came from.

Zane joins in on the Dybbuk bashing

Wyaar informs that 2 of the 5 undead are evil but that doesn’t mean untrustworthy. He opines their may be better options and he doesn’t like the idea of the Mage’s liege lord.

Tink says they should probably just let them return home, then reseal the portal and get some rest. She says if they are evil walking through the portal themselves might not make it safe. She takes stock of her current plane and realizes that yes the portal room in the bone tower exists on the Woldian material plane.

Beri is in agreement and asks the mage more about the liege lord.

The mage responds, "The Dead King rules our land with an iron first. I dare not go against his will, for we exist only by his grace. Come before him and speak your piece and he might deign to aid you."

"Very well. We will follow and ask your Lord for aid, but not before we've had a chance to recover from the many, many fights we've been in today. We'll open the portal so you can return home immediately. Which one's yours, again?"

Keep in mind, it's not just a question of what we might be able to survive, the fate of the Wold has been set upon our shoulders. We can't afford to take unnecessary risks.

Tink proposes a plan.

Restlin agrees, comments that he’s out of spells, and speaks to the undead.

Garret does not like the idea of going to a plane were undead are normal.

Wyarr also agrees, especially with the resting part.

Zane echos the rest.

Beri also agrees and points out about the fate of the wold being entrusted to them so they can’t take unnecessary risks. He also asks the undead about summoning issues in their world.

Bosk agrees with the resting plans and tells the others he will heal them first.

Sesha also likes the plan.

The mage says, “As I said we arrived nearest the portal with the structured columns so I would assume that one leads to our home. As for summoning difficulties I have not had any problems summoning things while home.”

The party quickly takes the covers off the classically structured portal and the undead quickly depart through it. The overseer is on hand to annihilate any hostiles that might come through but his help is unneeded.

After the undead depart the portal is quickly re-secured.

The Overseer says to the party, “The disturbance that destabilized the portals did not come from the portal the undead came from but rather the one those strange bushes and demons came from. While things are contained, the covers cannot hold indefinitely so someone will have to go through the portal the demons came through at some point and put an end to whatever is causing the portals to react.”

Tink rolls up her sleeves

"Right. I'm going to drop all the things we've found off at the Catacombs and pick up a few things while I'm there. Anyone else want to come for the trip? If we're quick we can make it back here to rest. Probably best we stay next to these portals to make sure they don't reopen"

She prepares to cast Teleport. Then it occurs to her. She didn't prepare it today.

Between Bosk and himself, getting everyone back home with greater teleportation spells is easy enough. As soon as everyone's ready, Restlin will teleport himself, plus Garret, Tink, Sesha, Beri, and Wyarr. That just leaves Zane and Bosk.

The party arrives back in the common room of the Iron Tower. Restlin immediately breathes a sigh of relief. "It'll be good to sleep in my own bed tonight. First things first, though..."

First things being a bath, of course. Priorities...

Shower and a nap before catacombs sounds like a good plan.
Also, I am going to make a quick stop of at Master Torm. If anyone call tell me more about those bush monsters that summon chicken demons, it's him. Hopefully he can suggest something to make sure we don't stumble upon a whole forst of those bush things and find ourselves drowning in neverending chicken demons.

Sesha isn't ready to compete for bath space. Instead, she is quick to check in on the coven, fill in Yzargo on the new developments with Agatha, and then spend time with Sister downstairs.

The cold stone floor is relaxing and comforting, and she takes time to reflect (level up finally!) on this whole adventure thus far.

If Kevintaur is the secret to helping Agatha revive her own dead god, Sesha would be next in line for his time.

Sesha continues to ponder their mission. She bounces her thoughts off of Sister, her simulacrum.

"Does there come a point, Sister, where pursuing a dream becomes a detriment? Being driven is a good thing, but if you exclude everything else and everyone else for the sake of your goal, is it still noble?"

Bosk confirms with Restlin. "We should be able to get everyone between us, especially with some reduce person spells."

To Beri he says, "Already done that. Gargul’s response states that he does not know if Kevintar has truely changed and he trusts the Dragons to do what’s best. He also alerted us to events outside the tower. He said Marteous’s followers have been gathering. He might be becoming aware of his brother’s escape plans; if so expect an assault by his priests to stop the ritual.”

Tink prepares to teleport but she realizes she didn’t prepare it today.

Bosk notes he has teleport and greater teleport

Garret comments about the mess and that some days you just want to go home and have breakfast.

Restlin tries to cast teleport…

Wyaar thinks about the bath he wants to have

Sesha plans to fill in the coven as soon as she can

Zane points out the hangers on

Restlin rushes for a bath upon returning to the tower.

Garret rushes to check on his favorite meet vendor.

Beri asks if Bosk could update Gargul.

Sesha debates with Sister about the nature of dreams and pursuing them.

Bosk confirms they can teleport everyone back.

The party cannot teleport inside of the tower; however the custodian shows them a fast way out and they’re home in less than an hour. The custodian also confirms the party has plenty of time to do shopping and take care of things, as long as they get back within a few days - the containment will last that long easily.

Megaman seems to find the place quaint. ”We had stuff like this in my home, but it was all ancient ruins, long abandoned. No magic though.”

Doc seems happy to be back and requests in it’s chiming language to return to ship form until the party goes back to the tower.

Chuck is happy to see civilization, even if it’s very different from home. Finally some place where I don’t have to worry about some demon or robot coming by and tearing my face off!”

Bosk’s return is greeted with special enthusiasm by the Kobolds. One of them was tidying up when they ported in and he or she almost burst with glee at being so close to “THE CHOSEN ONE!” and his companions.

It feels like an age since the party were back home. Tink has a few things she wants to take care of.

She looks out into the street to see if she can find a lad (or lass) who wouldn't mind acting as a courier for an Iron Dragon.

First is to the Inspector to let him know the party are back. She doesn't want to go into too much detail about what has happened and what is yet to come, although does ask for him to come to the Tower when he has time.

Second is to Mara Weaver, just to check in that everything is ok.

With that Tink will give her messenger a few gold coins and ask for them to deliver those messages as quickly as they can.

Tink then sets off to her room, grabs a few pieces of parchment and a quill, and makes her way down to the living room to start penning a note: "Dear Mage's Guild..."

"Hey Restlin! You want in on this?"

Tink tries to find a messenger to deliver some messages to Mara Weaver and the Inspector before sitting down to write a letter.

Zane looks in on the kobolds.

Wyaar freshens up, rests and takes Chuck on a tour.

Garret points out some suitable runners, promising them meat on a stick for helping.

Restlin agrees to Tink’s nasty gram.

Bosk grins at the chosen one remark and thinks about Temujin.

Zane says he’s pretty sure they only call him chosen one. Upon reflection he remembers they also called him “The Bronze One” and “The Savior” though those are less popular.

Tink is easily able to find a messenger and send her messages. Directly afterwards she realizes that now they have a bunch of live in kobolds there’s always a messenger available.

Zane finds that the kobolds have made themselves quite at home. Sapphire gives him a tour and explains everything they’ve accomplished. They’ve taken over the tunnels beneath the tower and turned them into a small town. Those with trades have started selling wares to townsfolk in order to buy things they need. Several have volunteered themselves as servant and the tower has never been cleaner after a long time away. Kip, the sarcastic sailor, has started training a crew on how to use the Dragonship (I specifically made him a sailor so you could use him as crew). He’s one of the few Kobolds not to insist on calling him “The Chosen One!”

At the end of the tour Sapphire looks at Zane expectantly, obviously expecting some response to all they’ve accomplished.

"aaaaand ... done." Tink puts the quill gently down on the table. "Let's see. One... two, three, four.. eight.... Huh. I used 37 different adjectives to describe Agatha"

Tink has learned not to send things out while you're still angry or worked up. She rolls up the parchment and leaves it on the table for now.

"Right. I'm heading off to the Catacombs to take my mind off things. Anyone want anything while I'm there?"

Restlin emerges from his rest once again dressed in the fancy suit Lordmayor WhatsHisFace gave him, complete with crimson and gold top hat. He tags along to the Catacombs as well. He considers his Luck Quest to be at an end and successfully completed. As such, he has a very important stop to make.

"Come on, Tink." He says as they walk. "You need more fun in your life..."

He moseys over to the Temple of Wardd and throws open the front door, shouting "Come look at all this cool stuff I found!" as he does.

He dumps the following on whatever the temple's using as an altar this week:

Rope
Blue forcefield
Gravity grenade
Emergency raft
Blue veemod goggles
Autograpnel
Dart gun with Nanite canister (5 charges)
Dex/Con belt +4

"Pretty sure all that stuff with the buttons won't work here. Comes from a dimension with more technology than science...or reason for that matter. We may not have their scientists, but at least we aren't living in an apocolypse, right?"

He really wants to tell everyone what he's been up to, but they're still on a literal mission from god, so he keeps his mouth shut.

After they leave, he explains to Tink. "It's bad form to keep stuff you find lying around on a luck quest.That belt especially will make someone's day, maybe even save someone's life...or maybe not. Who knows?"

He continues on to the Catacombs...

ooc: Temujin is actually there bringing Bosk a drink. Bosk also took the Leadership Feat in September and has his own cohorts. His followers consist of NPCs the group had encountered, ones I created for other games, and my tapestry characters. Think more loyal fraternity brothers than fanatical kobold.

Sanji – former PC. Works at Five Mile House. Female Rogue. Orphan, she is very loyal but hates bullies. Runs with Hemust and Jillian.

Hemust and Jillian - former Noodle gang members, who now work at Five Mile House and good friends of the Heroes. Jillian has short blonde hair and blue eyes, always suspicious. Hemust is half-elf, also blonde and blue eyed, and is arrogant.

Brodery Family – Team saved family in MudTown and sponsored them to Hook City after their daughter was killed by assasins. They run “Brodery Apothecary” in Iron Tower Square. Jimbim. Now eldest brother. He's a nice guy. Expert herbalist and supplier of Bosk's poisons. Clarissa. Sister. Penetrating stare. Expert alchemist. Katherine and Billy Boy. Youngsters. Very angry and vindictive. Gat. Cousin. Toss a coin to figure out that mans mood. He likes to fight and will take anything said to him as an insult. Expert crafter of common items. This was formerly Heather Brorderys' family (she was a cleric of The Edge before she died, the first spirit Bosk advanced as an Avenger, one of her eyes was removed and is now the eye in the center of Bosk's forehead).

Temujin, a doppleganger with memory loss (now restored) that had an ilithad larva put in his brain that he cut out himself, causing the brain damage. He (unknowingly) took on the persona of a druid he was in contact with and helped hut down the illithid occultists responsible for killing previously menioned druid.

A young un-named witch we saved from the Manfri and their own tribe in the Sargrass after it was discovered she was a witch. She now trains under Magister Alistair with former party member Maikill.
Toby and Rachel, Young kids in Hook City that sneaked among the group and cut off some of Zeoll's fur to create a fishing lure in order to attempt catching a giant goldfish.

Barnacle Jane, a tall and beautiful woman with flowing red hair and captain of Calypso's Cry, known for the unusually high number of women sailors it employed...well not so much the number of women as the captain's willingness and ability to take in young women with little or no skill and make them some of the finest sailors on Rum. (NPC I created in the old Rum game)

Ceri, a large golden haired taur with ivory white horns. Quite large, at over eight feet (including the horns), Ceri is an impressive figure and you see how she earned the respect of the predominately male group. Two bastard swords long as a man cross her back, the hilts carved into sets of silver minotaur horns and you have little doubt that the Captain is more than capable of dual wielding the massive blades. (NPC I created for Rum, Captain of the WLA that I believe was later replaced.)

I also thought about including my old tapestry characters with their levels scaled sown to the appropiate level.

I am working on my Catacombs list. Along other things, I am replacing used potions, scrolls, and necklace of fireballs.

Bosk goes around the tower greeting his friends and giving them updates. Jimbim, how are your herbal extracts (poisons) coming along? I could likely use some for what we are about to face. They speak in hushed tones as Clarissa jumps out from around a corner and takes a friendly swipe at Beri. He then takes a long bath and gathers up his things before heading to the Catacombs and WLA to prepare for an act of Deicide unrivaled since the last cataclysm.

Tink finishes her letter and then rolls it up in parchment before taking a trip to the catacombs to blow off steam.

Garret takes a nap in a precarious place.

Zane chats with Sapphire and then checks in to see how the kobolds are getting along with Starblazer.

Restlin considers his luck quest over and dumps all the things he’s found while on his luck quest at the temple of Warrd.

Bosk receives a drink from Temujin and visits with others he has a history with to see what they’ve been up to.

Beri makes a catacombs list.

Wyaar remarks he hasn’t been there in a while.

Sapphire reports that things are going well. The townsfolk are a bit leery of the Kobolds, but it’s a big enough trade center strange people are relatively normal and there haven’t been any major problems, especially since they've been endorsed by the local heroes.

Kip is in the middle of a conversation with Starblazer about the finer points of the ship when Zane walks in. Starblazer answers the question he asked, ”The little ones have proven quite useful.”

Kip inclines his head respectfully. ”Welcome back boss.”.

Tink is happy to tag along to a Temple of Wardd. She considers hiding her face as they enter but figures the Iron Dragons are that well known that they'd be noticed on site anyway. Still, "a Justicar enters a temple dedicated to the God of Thieves" sounds like the opening line of a good joke.

She keeps a smile on her face and tries not to look like she is on a mission of any kind. Just dropping in with a friend.

After their visit to the Catacombs she catches back up with Restlin.

"What say we gather a few of the others and head to a tavern for a hot meal? We can see whether there is any news as to what has been going on here while we've been gone."

Beri heads out to find Master Torm the awakened tortoise, if anyone is likely to have knowledge of the bush creatures it is him. He heads out to the elaborate gardens where Torm makes his home, checking first at his favorite pond. Perhaps the old guy can provide some insight into how they are calling forth chicken demons, and the nature of their symbiotic relationship.
Upon finding Torm he will pour a cup of tea and settle in for what is always a long conversation.

Garret rolls while he sleeps and falls off the wall flat on his face. He looks up and around a little, but then puts his face back down in the dirt and goes back to sleep again. He is quite exhausted from all the running around and has some pleasant dreams about lots of meat-on-a-stick sandwiches.

Anyways, if you have any trouble, let me know. I think we're headed back out in the morning. I'll do what I can to make sure things go smoothly.

With that Zane leaps off the side of the tower and flies to the Catacombs entrance and will meet up with the others for the meal....

Tink goes with Restlin to the Temple of Warrd, thinking this act sounds like the beginning of a joke and then asks about gathering the others at a tavern for a hot meal.

Restlin said he could go for a delicacy Kyan used to make.

Garret falls off the wall he slept on, wakes for a moment and takes another nap in the dirt this time.

Zane asks Kip about how things are going and tells the kobold to let him know if there are any difficulties before taking a field trip to the catacombs.

Sesha snaps out of her revery involving something called income tax and spends some time seeing to her coven and her similucran.

Kip says he'll take care of whatever needs doing and ask for help if it's needed. "I'm not to familiar with human bureaucracy, but Auslander has been very helpful."

The party does shopping and enjoys a good meal together. Well, mostly together.

"Sooooo..." Restlin starts during a lull in the conversation. "Big day tomorrow. Another new dimension to go explore, this time potentially stuffed to the brim full of undead." He briefly wonders if Bosk will keep it together, but his friend has calmed significantly over the years. He'll probably be fine.

Garret wakes up and looks around. It takes him a moment to realize that it is starting to get dark out. He scrambles to his feet and looks for the meat vendor, only to find that he has gone home for the day. He wanders around a little, still enjoying the outside and the peace and quiet of no one trying to kill him. He ponders if it is time to retire and just enjoy the peacefulness of the Wold.

Garret continues to wander and ponder. Suddenly he looks around and realizes that he has walked all the way to Dirt City without even considering why. He thinks back to the awakening of the strange gods and sighs. He knows they have one more thing they must do to save the Wold. He is tired, but one more mission, well, maybe just one more and then he could really relax. But could he really retire? Only time would tell.

He headed back towards the tower, knowing that the time was coming soon when he would have to get back into action.

Restlin reflects on the big day they have tomorrow with the undead dimension.

Garret wakes up outside in the dark and tries to find the meat vendor only to figure out he went home. He ends up enjoying the peace and quiet for once since no one is trying to kill him at the moment.

Beri asks Master Torm if he is sleeping.

After a long pause Torm says, “I’m………….sorry……..Beriothian….I…...was…...lost…..in……..deep……..meditation. Recent……. Events…...have….given……..me…..pause.”

Zane says bye to Kip and joins the others for dinner.

Tink senses a disturbance in the paperwork.

Garret wanders around town some and thinks about recent events.

"Know what I was thinking about recently? That demigod tentacle thing we fought. Remember that? Remember how we barely beat it and it kept knocking Zane unconscious and almost to death? I be each of us could take it one on one now.

"I mean, I'm not eager to bring it back to life and find out, but it's impressive how we've grown together. What do we do after this, anyway? What tops this debacle we've found ourselves in?"

It'll give time for me to find my Parents, I know my father is out there somewhere and I believe now that my mother didn't perish when The Stormfront wrecked crossing the edge.

In answer to Zane, Tink will need a good nights rest - preferably 2 - before returning to the Tower

DM Mitch 
Saturday April 20th, 2019 11:00:29 PM
Restlin reflects on how a single Iron Dragon could probably fought the tentacle demigod thing they fought in the past.

Zane hypothesizes that this may be their last adventure as active heroes and when this is complete it will be up to future heroes to answer the call next time. He also thinks about finding his parents and how even if they (the Iron Dragons) aren’t there the tower should keep them grounded.

Wyaar jests that he quakes at the thought of domestic challenges.

Beri asks for advice for dealing with the demons from one of the portals.

Tink points out they will always defend the Wold, even if it’s just by training new heroes to follow them. She proposes a toast.

Bosk does more errands.

Tink adds that she needs at least 1 good night of rest, preferably 2.

Torm considers the question for a long moment. “I… see… 4 … gates…. Before….. You…. my …. Child…..Though…..you….may….end….up…. Passing …..

Garret wanders back to the tower to look for the others. As he walks in his body almost seems to shimmer to those who see him. He looks somehow different and more magical, as if he's transcended being a halfling and appears to be something more (Perfect Self: The level 20 monk is no longer humanoid but is a magical creature).

Restlin indeed notices something different about Garret. He whispers in Sesha's ear. "Love, has Garret's odor diminished, or have I gone noseblind to him?"

Anyway, it's probably time to get rest. This little interlude has been lovely, but the Iron Dragons still have a world to save.

"Hey Bosk, you might want to borrow this when we go visit that plane where the undead are... I doubt they'll like it very much." hey shouts out as he walks in. He notices that Garret seems a bit different but since when did any of the Iron Dragons look normal.

Beri reaches out to the others over their rings and relays Torms message to the others as he slowly completes each though

Guys, I'm talking to Master Torm... it sounds like we could be in for crazy time if we are going to the realm those chicken demons were from.

He saw gates before us, we may or may not need to go through all of them... apparently the order will matter.

When we come across them, they must be confronted as soon as possible. The risk of leaving them unchecked is too great.

It sounds like there is a source of these creatures we need to take out. Should the source die, the rest will wither.

Let me know if you have anything you want to ask Torm...

The druid then addresses the awakened turtle, hoping he has more information regarding those gates and why the order is important.

It... is... always... sad... when... creatures... of... the... world... break... the... natural... balance... and... must... be... stopped.

Master... Torm,
If... the... order... of... gates... is... of... grave... importance,
Is... there... something... that... will... guide... us... to... the... source?

ooc: is the Sun Blade the vorpal weapon discussed in the email? Does anyone mind if I wield it? I can deduct it from my portion of the loot.

Bosk joins the others once his order in the Catacombs is placed and examines the blade. I might just have to take you up on that. It is a fine piece of craftsmanship, something I would be proud to wield! Lifting it he hasps, Gargul's Eye! I could dual wield this with my other sword! The cleric is glad he did not spend all his gold and debates buying his own blade.

The cleric then looks at Garret and notices the change in odor. It looks like we now have another non-humanoid in the group. A magical creature and an outsider. I do not think any other set of Dragons has been so diverse.

Garret joins the others a chained being

Restlin notices the change in Garret and suggests they get some rest.

Sesha also comments on this and notices he smells slightly less offensive.

Zane comes back swinging a sun blade and asks Bosk if he wants to wield it when they visit the undead.

Wyaar visits the WLA

Beri informs the others of what Torm told him via rings. To the question he asks Torm replies,
“The…..keeper…..of…...the…….gates…..can…..guide….you….where….you….need…..to….go….”

Bosk notices the change in Garret and remarks about it and the blade the Zane has.

Restlin wonder’s about Sesha’s statement and worries about Beri’s.

A messenger arrives from the Catacombs with all of the gear people have bought.

I'm thinking it's more a warning that when we encounter them we risk getting overrun if we don't take out the source, and not that we need to seek them out first. From what we've seen, they constantly replace fallen comrades, but their numbers don't increase. If that's the case, when we fight them probably isn't an issue, it's just that we need to finish it before things get too bad... but I'm going to confirm with Torm... I'll update you in 20 minutes when he finishes responding.

Also, apparently the gates have keepers that will guide us.

Beri then goes back to To addressing Master Torm .

Thank... you... Master... Torm...
Do... you... believe... we... need... to... hunt... them... down... first...
Or... just... prioritize... them... when... we... next... encounter... them...

Tink makes her way back from the catacombs jotting down all she can remember about those demons.

Garret requests help in navigating the strange place.

Zane says he hates the chicken woman duck things but he guess that means they have to go there first. He asks if the rest of the gate order is known.

Bosk asks how they can best prepare for full contact gardening, ultimate chicken wrangling and possible diacide.

Wyarr suggests they close ranks around him so he can grant everyone smite.

Zane says he picked up a wand of bless weapon.

Torm says to Beri, “I…..am…..not….sure….if…..the ….. Rest … of the ….order….matters….but...whatever….is….happening….in…..the….chaotic….dimension….threatens….all….of….the….myriads….of…..existences”

So, it doesn't look like we need to prioritize the chickens, but it's going to be something we do eventually. I do still need to make a catacombs run, but it's a real head scratcher this time. How do you plan when you aren't even going to stay in teh same dimension... oh, I forgot to mention. Sounds like the chickens may be in something called the chaotic dimension... soooo... I really hate to say it, but we may need to ask Agatha and the star mages guild about that one.

Tink's eyes go wide "No, uh-uh, not the star mages guild. The WLA have great libraries, and you'll find more books in the Sages Guild that perhaps the rest of the Wold."

She really doesn't want to go to the Star Mages Guild. On the other hand though, she'd be able to deliver her message to them face-to-face.

What to do....

Garret wonders into the kitchen to see what is cooking.

Restlin announces that they are ready to go save all of existence and hopefully find some more hearts so they can save existence again.

Wyaar opines that he is fond of existence and he is ready to go.

Beri says he thinks they might not have to do the chickens as a priority and wonders if they should consult the Star Mages about it.

Tink is against visiting the Star Mages, but then realizes she could deliver her message personally.

Zane double checks everything and announces he is ready to go.

Bosk wonders if magic circle against choas would be useful.

Sesha is also ready to go.

Restlin is still ready to go as soon as Tink gets her gear together.

Garret finds some bread and mumbles about how he doesn’t like chaos.

Zane is still ready to go as well and he comments on how sometimes it takes a little chaos to win.

Beri says he’s gotten as much information as he can and he’s ready to go.

Restlin comments how boring the group would be without him… he means choas.

Sesha muses that no one thinks themselves evil.

Tink asks Sesha for buffs.

When everyone is finally ready to go the group steps through the teleportation circle and ends up where they teleported from originally and it is only a short-ish walk through the now cleared traps in the bone tower to get to the room where all the portals are.

The caretaker says to the group, “The portal with the irregularities seems more unstable as time passes. It won’t be long before the cover gives out. If possible please investigate the cause of the irregularities and put a stop to it. Everything should be back to normal as soon as the whatever is affecting the malfunctioning portal is addressed.”

Also, Garret, we have the Starmages backpack that we should be able to use to get back our world. So that's one less thing to worry about. I'm going to transform into an air elemental before we head through, though I may choose a more fitting form once I evaluate the terrain.

By the way, these transformations have gotten much easier with practice. They don't tire me out like they once did, so I don't have to worry about constantly changing every time the terrain changes or if we need to go indoors at some point.

Before they teleport back to the Bone Tower, Tink makes sure to have her letter sent. Should the party not return at least the Star Mages guild will know what Agatha and Sprocket have been up to, and the feelings they left with the party.

-----------

"Are you going to be able to seal the portal behind us?" Tink asks the caretaker "And if it turns out to be the only way back, do we need a secret knock or something for you to open it?" She's half-kidding. In all seriousness though, she is wanting some way for them to signal to have the seals opened.

She pats down her gear and accounts for all her new tools and tricks.

"Say the word team. I'm ready to take point"

Restlin starts prepping for battle.

Garret verifies they have a way back from where they are going.

Zane asks when they’ve ever worried about getting back before.

Beri reminds the others about the backpack and lets them know that wildshaping has become easier for him with practice.

Tink sends off her letter and asks if the portal will be sealed behind them and how they can alert the Caretaker when they’re done.

Bosk wonders if word of recall or teleport will work.

Sesha says she can buff Tink’s shield and asks if anyone wants a weapon buff.

The Caretaker replies to Tink’s questions, ”I will seal the portal behind you and monitor it; should it become stable, I shall unseal it. Should the seal fail, I will assume you are dead and destroy the portal to protect reality. Should you somehow survive and succeed after I am forced to destroy it the machine provided by your ally should provide you with a way back.”

Rested, with new gear and a tight timeframe, the party enters the portal. A swirl of strange light and vague visions flashes before their eyes before they’re dumped in a small clearing. The first impression they get is that everything is to bright. The grass is too green, the tree bark too brown, the metal of their armor to silver. It’s like some artist added an extra, brighter layer of paint to everything.

A portal, like the one in the tower, sits in behind them. It is dark and inactive. They’re in some small forrest, the trees fully grown but not the ancient giants of a thick forest. The clearing they stand is is near the edge of the wood, and a small village can been seen in the distance below, probably a few hours walk away.

Tink takes a moment to get her bearings and get a better idea of where they are.

She takes a look around for some tracks on the ground to indicate what creatures may have been around here to use the portal and what direction they came from.

Assuming it is the village, Tink will take point and fly around 30ft ahead of the rest of the party.

Garret rolls through the portal, making a spectacular entrance that no one actually sees. He springs to his feet and bounces a little, ready to attack and bush that looks lovely. He stops bouncing as he sees there's nothing attacking them. He shrugs and watches Tink look around. He squints his eyes to try and make things look more normal.

Wyaar uses detect evil

Sesha isn’t going to trust this place of the bat.

Bosk keeps his hand on his blade.

The parties various detection spells reveal nothing. Tink can find no signs of any creatures walking up to the portal, though some wild animals have been in the clearing. Other than the odd coloring of everything, which seems to just be part of the nature of this reality, this seems to be a completely normal forest. Whatever the problem is with the portal it originates elsewhere.

I suppose it's off to town we go. My guess is that the bush and chicken monsters aren't there. Still, who knows what we are going to find, so we should be cautious.
Beri looks around the colorful landscape and wonders briefly whether he should try to bring a few tree seeds back with him, but decides against introducing an invasive species into the Wold.
Since we can see the town, we should keep an eye out as we advance, make sure any welcome they may have for is looks like it's a friendly one... or at least indifferent.

Tink doesn’t find any sign of anything so she suggests they heads towards the village. She does her best to stay hidden.

Garret says he hopes the meat on the stick tastes good and not too colorful.

Zane activates his invisibility ring

Restlin wonders what color tastes like and watches Zane fly off. With him and Tink watching he figures they will spot anything creeping up.

Beri agrees that their destination should be the town. He ponders taking some seed samples back with him but decides against it before suggesting they keep an eye out as they move towards the town.

The party approaches the village and as they get close it becomes more and more evident that it’s seen hard times. Buildings are damaged, the ground torn up in places, and a makeshift barricade of cards has been put across the road. There are no occupants in sight, but the ruffling of window curtains and the click of a latch indicates the residents are around, but hiding from you.

A figure jumps out from behind one of the carts to the top of the makeshift barricade. It’s about Garret’s size and looks like a stuffed goat in a chain shirt. It points a blade of raw energy at the party. ”Back, fowl otherworldly creatures! I will let no further harm come to this village!”

Zane circles overhead keeping a lookout

Tink remains hidden waiting and seeing as to how this plays out

Bosk states they’re searching out what’s been attacking their home and they mean no harm.

The goat glares down at the party from his perch. At Restlin’s mention of them being dragon's his eyes narrow and he grips his weapon more tightly. ”Dragons? Come to loot and add to your horde? You will not enter this village!” (Diplomacy might be useful)

Zane continues to circle overhead.

Beri becomes less threatening in an attempt to aid Restlin in diffusing the situation

The goat man glares at Restlin and the party for several more moments before lowering his blade. ”Fine. If you say you’ve come to help I’ll trust you. For now.”

At the sight of the goatman putting down his blade some of the hiding watchers start to poke their heads out. They all seem to be the same stuff-animal looking species, though they represent a wide variety of animals. An owl pokes it’s head out of a barn loft. A Kangaroo looks wearily out her front door, small child in her pouch. A Tiger bounces out of hiding down the street and puts his hand over his eyes, peering at the party. A yellow bear holding the hand of a small piglet gingerly step out together from behind some rubble and a small lean-to made of some sticks collapses revealing a donkey while a gopher raises his head up out of his hole. A rabbit appears near what's left of a garden.

Tink reflects that the animals are an eclectic bunch and wonders if the piglet and the rabbit might be endangered over the ring. She greets the denizens, asking who they are and volunteering that she is Tink.

Zane continues circling overhead thinking that this place looks like a child’s toy come to life and he isn’t sure what is considered out of the ordinary.

Restlin remarks that the assembled animal people are kind of cute and asks which one can tell them what has been going on.

Garret checks the state of the portal.

Beri references blustery days and asks how the villagers are doing.

Bosk goes plush with his glamored armor.

The villagers start emerging from all around the party and crowd about to meet the strange creatures. They’re of a startling variety of shapes and species, though none top Garret in height. Several introduce themselves.

The yellow bear with the piglet says, “Oh bother, they call me Weingart the pah bear. This is my best friend piggy.” he says indicating the piglet. Piggy just says, “Oh d...d...d...dear”

“I’m Howl.” The Owl says

“Kinga” The mother kangaroo says “and this is my daughter, Reux”

“T-Money” the Tiger says.

“Good morning, if it is a good morning, which I doubt.” The donkey says, “my name is Downer by the way.”

The gopher says, “I’m Go-For...can I get you anything?”

The rabbit says, “They call me Wabbit and my garden is utterly ruined.”

The Goat cuts through the clammer to answer the question asked. ”This village has been assaulted by the spawn of the Devourer again and again. I am Toreal and I have been fighting them for over a week to keep this village alive.”

At the mention of the Devourer the villagers grow quiet. Many look about in fear, as if naming the thing might bring it’s minions upon them.

A week ago you say... it's possible that correlates with the time frame our demons started reeking havoc on the portals.

You mentioned the spawn of the Devourer? Does that mean that there is also an original Devourer? I feel like there is a story behind this.

Was that your first run in with the Devourer or his spawn? Tell us about the events leading up to the initial encounter.

There is nothing she can add to the conversation. She takes hold of her holy symbol and listens to the responses.

Sense Motive check: 31
With a successful Sense Motive check secretly opposed by either a Will save or a Bluff check (target's choice), the justicar can tell when a target creature is lying, just like a Discern Lies spell. However, the justicar must be holding his holy symbol and concentrating on a target creature for this ability to function. If the target is deliberately lying or trying to mislead the justicar, the symbol glows with a pure white light. If the target is telling the truth, or wins the sense motive check, or unknowingly tells a lie, the symbol stays dark.

Sesha isn't really certain about these creatures. Something about them was off, to her, but others in the group were far more adept at identifying untrustworthy people.

She stays quiet. It was a bit jarring, one moment to be here with tiny forest people, when not long ago they were considering how best to handle the freedom of Kevintaur, but only before that they were fighting monkey babies.

Then again, before that they were fighting a cult of necromancers, but before that they were helping Megaman fight an army of evil reploids and robots !

What a strange path this quest had taken. She was finding it hard to stay focused.

Bosk turns to the rabbit. This might sound a little odd, but as we have helped people on our travels I began collecting recipes and bottled drinks so that when I enjoy them I can remember those we have helped and what it is that we fight for. Might you have such a token? I work be willing to trade you some herbs and spices from where we come from, and rations of your gardens destruction had caused any shortages.

Restlin thinks they should have brought Chuck before asking about Chicken Demons.

Beri asks about the villages run in with the devourer and the spawn of the devourer.

Zane asks for the others to let the villagers know he is flying overhead so they don’t think he’s a bad guy.

Wyaar relays Zane’s message and spends a little healing energy on the villagers

Tink has nothing to add so she listens to what the villagers have to say. She tries to get a read on them. The villagers seem to be exactly what you’d expect; open, honest village folk out of their depths and scared. Toreal, the goat, seems calm, cold, and calculating. He’s clearly picking his words carefully and probably does not trust you. He does not seem to be lying to you.

Garret is not used to being the tall one and sits down to look less threatening. He asks what the devourer spawn look like and how would one go about defeating them.

Sesha also keeps quiet, thinking about how something is off about the villagers and how strange their path has been lately.

Bosk starts mentioning his collection of potent potables and asks if the Rabbit has anything to trade in exchange for herbs, spices and rations.

Wabbit says to Bosk, “Well...let me check what I have in store. We have a large number of huney bees and Weingart sometimes disguises himself as a raincloud in order to harvest some honey. We tend to make a mead with the huney. I think we still have a pot or two lying around.”
Wabbit walks into what is left of his house and comes out with 2 jars marked huney mead.

Weingart says to Wabbit, “After those jars, is there anymore?”

Wyaar wonders what the Tiger may be good at.

Beri looks over the group. The villagers are unclothed, except for a red t-shirt on the bear, and unarmed. Toreal is heavily armored and armored, at least as well as anyone in the party if not moreso, and seeming to be setup for dual wield sword fighting. There’s no easy way to tell how heavily enchanted the gear is, though at least some of it is judging by the brilliant energy blade he was waving about a moment ago.

Toreal answers the parties questions. Legend says that centuries ago the Devourer came. It was an monster from another realm that fed on the very fabric of reality, and many planes of existence had been consumed by it. Something about ours defied it so that it could not destroy us in an instant, allowing a group of great heroes to gather and seal its power, locking it into a small, weak form. Now it’s prison is leaking, and it’s evil takes the form of chaotic, twisted monsters. I have devoted my life to destroying it’s minions and it and have learned the many forms and their weaknesses.”

Tink, still trying to get a read on the goat, senses that he’s not telling the whole truth as to why he’s been fighting the things.

"A leaking prison. That sounds familiar. Where is the prison?" Tink asks Toreal directly. "It sounds like you know quite a lot about this thing and it's followers. It would be useful information to us if we are to help defeat it"

Tink then speaks with the others over the link "This guy is holding back. There's more to it in terms of 'why' he is fighting them. I don't want to push him on it just yet. Let's see what else we can learn from him first"

Anyone else worry that this "Too Real" guy or one of these cute little animals might be the person? Like the way the Wizard was imprisoned in the necklace Beri put on before becoming possessed?

Bosk accepts the Mead and offers up some if his own drinks from Hook City, rations and spices. He even identifies which spices (Bosk had purchased a masterwork spice kit) go well in honeyed carrots and can be grown from the spices in the kit.

Restlin is getting impatient.

Garret pauses and remains seated.

Wyaar stays a while and listens, knocking an arrow just in case

Zane picks up Garret in case an attack is incoming and says over the rings he doubts they will attack but best to be ready just in case.

Beri mis-names the Devourer and asks about the weaknesses of it’s minions.

Bosk wonders if one of the locals might be like something from a previous adventure. The mead he gets is unlike any he’s seen before, being literally from another reality.

”The Devourer’s prison lays a couple of days away in the mountains. I was seeking it out to end the foul creature forever when I stopped here.” Toreal answers Tink’s question and emphasizes the name to correct Beri. ”They say it takes the form of a strange mix of man, bear, and pig. As it leaks foul energies they take a wide variety of forms, some small but cunning, others large and powerful, all strange mixes of numerous species. You say you’ve fought strange creatures and hope to end extraplanar difficulties?”

The villagers at this point are mostly just standing around and watching the conversation, aware that something important might be going on with these alien visitors.

"A man-bear-pig, you say?" Restlin looks around, wondering how these things knew what men were when there don't seem to be any around.

"Wouldn't be the weirdest thing we've ever faced. We've fought sentient asteroids, giant space whales, tentacle-faced demigods...we've seen stuff. Were you going to continue heading in the prison's directions? Mind if we tag along? I tell a good story, Sesha's nice to look at when she has all her face intact, and Tink here guarantees we won't be caught off guard." He smiles, waiting for a response.

She hadn't resorted to ritual scarification in awhile. Part of that, was she felt she had outgrown its need. Her own magic had evolved, to be sure. The other part of it was that she didn't want to appear ...unsightly.. in front of Restlin.

Restlin asks about the man-bear-pig and asks if Toreal would like to tag along playing up the contributions some of the group members make in a joking manner.

Sesha blinks at Restlin’s mention of her, not having disfigured herself in a while as she felt she hadn’t need to and asks him who needs a nose

Zane drops the invisibility and then regards the assembled animal people with vertical slitted eyes, remembering to smile.

Beri too discusses the man-bear-pig and asks about the creatures that have a chicken's head with duck’s feet and a woman’s face too and the bushes of love.

Wyaar keeps an eye out.

Bosk eyes the crowd with death watch. Surprisingly, none of them register as alive or dead. Judging from their appearance… maybe they’re constructs? If he checks with Sense Spirit they definitely have souls.

Tink asks Toreal about his motives.

Toreal consider’s Restlin’s offer. ”Help would be appreciated. By myself my chances were low. Though it’s minions scatter across the world it would have been difficult to catch it’s prison unattended, and it would have taken days if not weeks for met to whittle it down. With a group as large as yours we might be able to kill it in a single decisive battle.”

The villagers are startled at Zanes sudden appearance. Then Tink questions Toreal’s motives and he seems insulted. ”My motives are my own and none of your business. Just know that I will see the devourer dead, no matter the cost.”

Whatever his reasons, his voice seethes with rage and hate. He clearly has some reason to really, really want the devourer dead.

”If you’re going to help then let us proceed. The longer we dither here, the more people die across the world from it’s spawn.”

He slips his arm around Sesha as they walked. "The nose thing never bothered me.

As long as you aren't going to betray us and we are both looking to stop the Devourer I think we are good. You said that the Devourer’s prison lays a couple of days away in the mountains. Is it inside the mountains, or outdoors? What kind of prison have you heard tails of? I will prepare accordingly for the terrain.

Beri pauses for a moment thinking
How dangerous is the road before us? Should we cast protective spells before leaving or are we unlikely to see trouble any time soon?

Tink reflects on Toreal’s comments and remarks over the rings he could be Agatha 2.0

Restlin tries to put a diplomatic spin on Tink’s behavior. He slips his arm around Sesha as they walk telling her the nose thing never bothered him.

Garret agrees over the rings that Toreal bears watching.

Zane asks if the villagers are more constructs

Beri asks more information of Toreal regarding the terrain on the way to the world prison

Tink requests information on the creatures weaknesses.

Garret eyes the mountains and tries to judge the distance.

The mountains are relatively close it looks like. On foot it would take the advertised 2 or 3 days to reach them, but of course the party’s magic speeds things up to the point where they can reach them in a day.

During the trip Toreal regals the stories of the many strange creatures that pour out of the devourer’s prison. You recognize the puppybabymonkey’s as the tiny creatures that came through the portal and attempted to force everyone to dance. ”Harmless alone, incredibly dangerous in large groups. Fortunately they have an addition to alcohol that trumps everything else. Throw a bottle or casks at them, then pick them off.” He describes the bird-women things as among the worst of the creatures. Impossible to put down unless you catch their bush. Mostly people just destroy any hedges within 300 yards of civilization or commonly used roads. For all the demoness’s ferocity, the bushes themselves are incredibly timid and won’t approach anyplace they can’t flee with their teleportation magic.”

The other creatures described are too numerous to count. He claims to have fought dozens of different creatures, and isn’t entirely confident he’s seen all the possibilities. ”Be ready for anything; it may create something even I haven’t seen.”

In additions to stories of improbable monsters the party has the scenery to distract them during the trip. This realm, whatever it is, seems remarkably inconsistent in how things look. The village was bright and simple looking, but they pass through an area that looks like it was assembled entirely with foot by foot blocks, including trees and plants that are pixelated and blocky. The foothills lose the blocky look are currently experiencing a bought of rain, but the rain falls in big blue dots instead of the normal clear raindrops of the Wold. In the lower mountain area forrest takes over, thick and dark, seemingly absorbing nothing but greys, blacks, and blues to contrast the previous bright, happy look of everything.

None of these changes affect the appearance of the party, who still look like themselves just brighter. Eventually, late in the evening, Toreal calls for a stop. ”We’re mere hours away now. Best we sleep and fight the thing at full strength in the light of day.” he seems to be in a much better mood after the fast day’s travel; perhaps he’d answer questions now?

The puppybabymonkey have a fondness of drink? I would never have guessed that, must be their youthful appearance that hides it. Oh, and we found the same out about the hedges and tried to burn them, but I lacked the spells to take them all out, the best I could do was clear key sections.

As they start to wind down for the night, Beri looks down at the changing terrain that marks the last leg of the journey.

Is that dark grey/blue area before us where the prison is? Oh, I forgot to ask before, do you know anything about gates and gatekeepers withing this prison we are headed to?

As they have a chance to rest, Tink will look over Toreal and try to identify any equipment she can see that has a magical aura. It would be best to know how he plans to attack and defend himself in combat should the party need to come to his aid. She looks over all of his items to see their magical auras, and will also concentrate on Toreal himself. She checks him for the auras of any magical active spell effects.

Spellcraft checks: 32+Take10=42
Knowl Arcana checks: 24+Take10=34
Arcane Sight: "You know the location and power of all magical auras within your sight. An aura's power depends on a spell's functioning level or an item's caster level, as noted in the description of the detect magic spell. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make Spellcraft skill checks to determine the school of magic involved in each. (Make one check per aura; DC 15 + spell level, or 15 + half caster level for a nonspell effect.)

If you concentrate on a specific creature within 120 feet of you as a standard action, you can determine whether it has any spellcasting or spell-like abilities, whether these are arcane or divine (spell-like abilities register as arcane), and the strength of the most powerful spell or spell-like ability the creature currently has available for use."

Zane asks Restlin if he is going to set up a safe house.

Beri is amazed to learn the puppy monkey babies have a fondness for drink and then asks if the dark area is where the prison is.

Tink gives a closer look to Toreal and tries to figure out more about him and his gear. He doesn’t register. Her knowledge of the arcane tells her he must have a non-detection effect up, blocking all scrying or divination. If she wants to penetrate it a caster level check of 34 is needed.

”It’s less of a prison and more of a random cave where it was defeated long ago. Legend says it found crystals there that would let it consume the world from that one location and it was only barely stopped in time. Since then it’s just sat there, leaking out it’s foul spawn.”

He notes Tink staring at him and turns to her. ”Do you have a question?”

Tink keeps her eyes on Toreal. "As Restlin said, we have recently had troubles where those we have trusted ended up betraying us to achieve their own goals. Those were people we had known for months.

As someone we have known less than a day I'm sure you can understand my caution, even paranoia, about being deceived again.

There are also some who believe they are doing the right thing however have been mislead by the one you call the devourer, impersonating another powerful being. For that reason understanding someones motives can be quite important" Tink lays it out on the table

"I can tell you have some sort of protection up to stop me from discerning any information about you. I have the same. As an act of trust I suggest we both reveal ourselves. If we are to fight against such a terrible creature we need to know who it is we stand beside. What do you say? I'm prepared to show who I am."

If Toreal agrees to the proposal, Tink will not immediately recast her Mind Blank spell in the morning. She will give Toreal some time to see her magical auras.

Tink will keep an eye on Toreal when it comes time to morning prep. It will be much simpler to find out what defensive spells he puts in place when she can actually see them being cast. While she rests she will ask one of the others to keep an eye on him for the same reason.

Tink makes a small speech about trust and offers to let down her magical defenses.

Restlin looks interested.

Wyarr prepares to detect evil.

Toreal looks at Tink with a carefully neutral expression as she speaks. ”I have no magical skills, so your offer of dropping your own defenses, while a nice gesture, is pointless.” he replies. ”It is also reckless so near to the enemy. Many of it’s spawn have magical skill and the intelligence to know me and hunt me down. This close they could easily detect us from here. I will not remove my protective amulet; it would risk all of our lives.”

Sense Motive 50 Highlight to display spoiler: {Judging from his slight glance at Wyarr, his reasons have more to do with potential alignment detection than fear of the devourer’s spawn.}

"Only a couple of us are protected from scrying and detection. Not all of us though. This means that - as a group - we can already be discovered.

I also have a detect scrying spell active and can tell you that noone is currently scrying this area, nor has scryed on us since we arrived. The chances of them scrying on you during those specific few seconds would be incredibly remote. Perhaps 1 in 10,000? 20,000?

Still, if you are concerned, we are about to rest. Restlin will conjure a Magnificent Mansion spell which opens to another plane. Even if they could scry on you they would have no way of detecting how we got there, no way of knowing where the Magnificent Mansion spell was cast and no way of knowing our current location on this place. We would be entirely and perfectly safe. How does that sound?"

Tink then speaks to the others via the rings "When we first met him I could tell he wasn't telling us the whole truth and he hasn't done anything to win my trust since. How did he think he could do this alone? Had he been waiting in the village for help to arrive? Why stay near civilians and potentially endanger them too? Was one of them family? Look, I may be paranoid, but with stakes as high as they are now we need to know who we can trust. Does anyone have any divination or commune type spells handy?"

Sesha shrugs.

"I'm sorry about this, but Tink has a point. I've given Agatha a pass, but I don't really know anything about you. Prying is rude, and I know people have their secrets. I'm going to need to know yours."

Sesha starts gathering a bit of arcane power. She had three spells to cast, two of which were high level magics.

"This spell is a bit difficult, but it will last for awhile. It's called Screen, and anyone peeking sees only what I want them to see here for the next 24 hours. It's a potent scry defense, as the scryer literally cannot defeat the effect."

Sesha concentrates hard on her vision.

IF someone was suddenly alerted to scry here, it would be because of a trigger. Showing them a gentle slope with nothing around would alarm them as much as seeing the party, so she instead sets an image of a pair of resting golden dragons, as cartoonish as she can make them, feeding young and resting.

That's a strong enough creature that it might prickle someones senses, but not so strange that someone would want to pry further, she thought. It would also further hide Restlins mansion spell. Sesha explains all this out loud to everyone present.

She then, quite dismissive of Toreals privacy, she dispels his amulets effects, after raising her spell power as much as she can.

(Dispel check = 41. Sesha can raise her caster level to 32. Base 20 + 4 Prayer Beads + 5 Surrender Blood, + 2 Vestments + 1 Ioun Stone)

His amulet, as he advertised it, is inert for 3 rounds. More than enough time for her to pry and Zane to snoop out his alignment.

Her final spell, is the 7th level spell, Visions. She asks with her spell. "Who is Toreal, and what are his motivations?"

This spell functions like legend lore, except that it works more quickly and produces some strain on you. You pose a question about some person, place, or object, then cast the spell. If the person or object is at hand or if you are in the place in question, you receive a vision about it by succeeding on a caster level check (1d20 + 1 per caster level; maximum +25) against DC 20. If only detailed information on the person, place, or object is known, the DC is 25, and the information gained is incomplete. If only rumors are known, the DC is 30, and the information gained is vague. After this spell is complete, you are fatigued.

Sesha cannot fail the caster level check, since Toreal is right here. She is fatigued.

Tink continues to try to convince Toreal to let them scry him willingly.

Sesha decides to just dispel him and scry him without his permission.

Zane casts Haste and goes dragon in case a fight starts.

Garret is impressed by Sesha’s magical skill.

Restlin disapproves, but notes the guy is wary of Wyarr.

Wyarr casts detect evil. And man, he is so evil. At least matching any single member of the party in skill, and molovent to a degree he’s rarely felt. A sheer hatred of all of reality and it’s creatures.practically floes out of this guy.

Beri also gets the hint this might go south and prepares.

Bosk is ready to go invisible if Toreal gets violent.

Sesha is thrown into a vision. A great, empty void. Pinpricks of light, crystals, floating in the nothingness. A great beast, terrible beyond belief, floating there. A small party, standing against the darkness.

One of them charges, screaming in defiance. A lion warrior, judging from his armor, but his stuffed body is faded and shrunken. WIth a gesture from the great beast the warrior falls away into dust, a glowing orb drawn out of him and into the creature, his very soul consumed by the Devourer.

Two stand, all that’s left of a once great team of heroes, both desiccated and falling apart.. One, a fox, turns to the other and mutters a spell. The other, a relatively tall doe, is revitalized at the last moment before her friend falls. With a shout of despair she dives at the fading soul of her friend as it is pulled away. Remarkably, she somehow catches it and holds it inside of herself, sparing it momentarily from oblivion.

”We cannot beat it.” the doe says, despairing. The Devourer seems to agree - it ignores them, turning to the crystals. With a wave of it’s hand one of the lights fades and dies, a stream of screaming souls emerging from it into the thing. It laughs, reveling in it’s victory.

”No… says the soul of the fox. ”But perhaps we can sever it from it’s power. It’s power remains here, but it sends it’s essence through the crystals to consume our reality. If we strike as it reaches through we can cut it off from it’s power, render it helpless.”

It was a complicated spell, and every moment left the Doe weaker. More crystals were consumed and as they worked all of their energies into the most powerful sealing spell possible, more lives were lost. It probably took less than a minute, but it seemed an eternity and the Doe was brought to her knees as her life energies were either stolen away or worked into the spell. With a final shriek of defiance the pair expended everything they had, everything they were, at the exact moment the Devourer consumed yet another city on the other side of the realm.

It’s great form compresses, shrank, forced down into something small and weak. Something that looked like a mix of man, bear, and pig. Full of power and molevence, but with no will to direct it, it sat there, rising only to slaughter those foolish enough to enter it’s cave, adorning itself with the weapons and armor of those that fell to it. Slowly, over time, it began to leak, a black, viscous goo that formed into wild, unpredictable monsters that went out and destroyed everything they found.

And in a distant town, spared the last second by the doe’s sacrifice, a small stuffed goat suddenly fell into existence. The weak, frail construct fell to it’s knees and screamed it’s rage at the heavens, bereft of the reality consuming power that was all it had known for eons. Minutes later, it’s rage spent, the goat stood up. Clenching his fists, Toreal swore that he would regain his power. He may be a small, frail creature, but he was still a construct, immortal unless killed, and no matter how many centuries it took he would master his mortal form and reclaim his rightful place in the cosmos as the Devourer. He would consume this pitiful reality that dared defeat him.

Back in the real world, the current Toreal realizes the jig is up. With a snarl, he jumps up from the log he’s sitting on and vanishes.

Perception DC 52 Highlight to display spoiler: {he held up a sign that said “I’m hiding now”: and walked out of camp. Somehow, this made it nearly impossible to detect him - even as you watch him he seems to meld with the forrest around him. He's about 60 feet away.}

Bosk (invisible) sees where the other are pointing and moves 40 feet towards his prey and then throws a small sphere at the creature to bind it. (Iron Bands of Binding)

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.

"Are we treating goat-boy too casually? He is an eons old cosmic being capable of eating life forms for power."

Tink spots the fleeing Goatman and lights him up.

Restlin anchors him so he can’t teleport.

Garret shadowsteps and grapples him (no freedom of movement).

Bosk puts iron bands on him to be extra sure.

Zane gets ready to attack.

Wyarr make a horrible goat pun (that I approve of) and gets ready to smite

Beri prepares to reverse gravity should the thing prove slippery.

Sesha talks about him being an ancient evil; since she’s the only one who saw the vision (unless I totally misread the spell) no one else has any idea what she’s talking about.

Toreal, well and firmly caught, looks around at the party. ”That turned ugly quickly. So what’d I do to warrant magical assault and manhandling when I tried to flee?”

Bosk waits as he too wonders if the goat man did anything more sinister than try to escape. Silently he prays this is not like Zeoll's calm emotions they always let to the group getting into combat because people were angry he cast calm emotions to prevent combat.

"Uh... what?" Tink just thought Toreal to be another card-carrying Star Mage Guild member, trying to go incognito.

She immediately sets to stripping him of his magical gear.

"Score one for paranoia". A thought then occurs to her. The only reason she became this skeptical and paranoid was because of Agatha. Had Agatha's actions inadvertently helped the party? Tink shudders at the thought.

Bosk prepares to attack the first man if necessary, should he try to escape. (From what I can tell, Bosk would get a crit with his mace of smiting on the third round. Bosk will not attack if the group tells him to stop or he suspects doing so will free or release the devourer)

"So...this is...half the Devourer? It's looking to reunite with this bear pig to become itself again and start eating souls? I say we don't let that happen."

Restlin's guessing he and his companions could just beat the stuffing out of the little goat monster, but would that even do the trick?

"Our tower. We throw him in with all our other evil, unrecoverable artifacts. If killing this little goat thing was easy and would solve the problem, those animal hero things...geez other dimensions are weird...would have done it. Or, maybe it gets cloned a bunch of times and busts out."

Restlin puts his considerable arcane knowledge to the task of figuring this out.

Knowledge, Arcana: 61.

Can this goat thing be killed?
If so, would that solve the problem and end the Devourer threat?
Would the goat-soul just merge back up with the man-bear-pig soul?
How viable a solution is imprisoning goat boy here with the rest of the Iron Dragon's evil artifact collection?

If you wants, I can make additional know,arcana rolls.

"I don't think it's enough. He's a construct. He might just pass his consciousness somewhere else. And there's the problem of Man-bear-pig. It's still eating people that come unwittingly."

Sesha glances about, but Bosk gives her some inspiration.

"Doesn't Gargul have a sect that strictly handles constructs? If we can stop .. pig thing.. with the goat and it's soul accounted for, we might stop any chance of a reunification."

She considers Toreal once more.

"If not, I might have some options. Witches are well suited to sealing up big threats. I have both Imprisonment and Temporal Stasis among the spells I know, and either of those can seal him away for good. Or for a long long time."

the Dragon Zane says( in Draconic), "I asked earlier and I don't think anyone was listening..... Don't we need another free willed construct for our ritual. There must be a way to have him change after such a long time as he is, convince him to do good, rather than destroy. Those other creatures looked upon him as the one who saved them... He must have felt something good while protecting them. If we can get him to touch that feeling full time... I don't know, I guess I just want to see the good the people. And I use that term very loosely."
Dragon Zane's face gets a wry smile on his face....To himself, Zane is thinking, since we became the Iron Dragons, I've obviously changed. From using three or four words a week, I'm now producing full almost cohesive dialog putting forth ideas for the rest to consider and decide on.....

Bosk waits to figure out what is going on with the goat man.

Sesha sighs and then explains the results of her spell

Tink is surprised at this revelation and wonders in dismay if Agatha somehow helped them.

Bosk prepares to attack.

Restlin wonders if killing or imprisoning Toreal would work and applies his vast arcane knowledge to the situation.

Sesha is doubtful, wonders about Gargul’s servants who work to destroy constructs, and says maybe they can stop reunification by killing the manbearpig. If they need to imprison Toreal she has spells that can do so.

Garret gets nervous when hearing the goat might eat his soul.

Wyarr states they shouldn’t trust anything he says and offers to render him unconscious

Zane wonders if Toreal can be redeemed.

As Restlin considers the problem he finds he can come to no clear conclusions. There are just too many unknown variables. What was the spell that sealed him? Was it divine or arcane in nature? For that matter, this is a different reality. How are the underpinnings of reality and magic different here? Similar enough they’ve had no problems casting, but that other reality had tech that didn’t work in the Wold. Spells might be possible here that are nothing like anything he’s experienced before.

Why was Toreal a construct? Was it a form crafted to imprison his spirit? If so killing him might just let him rejoin his sealed power. Or was he just trapped in a mortal form? All the intelligent life here seems to be what would be considered a construct back home. Killing him might just damn him to whatever hell analog they have here.

What was the manbearpig? The seal on the Devourer’s power? If so, killing it would free it and cause it to reunite with Toreal. Or blow up the entire mountain chain. Or was it just the manifested form of the power? In which case killing it might destroy the Devourer’s power forever.

There are a few things he can be sure of. If Toreal could claim the power by just walking into the cave he would have done so long before now. He also came along with the group instead of just pointing them at the Manbearpig and waiting for his power to return, so proximity might be relevant.

Toreal scoffs at the group, interrupting the train of thought. ”You’ve learned much of me it seems, yet you fail to grasp the full extent of what I was. Devouring souls? Child’s play. Reality itself withered before me, and I feasted upon the very planes of existence. Untold dimensions fell before me until this pitiful one somehow baulked my power.

Arrogance, hatred, and molovance drip from his every word. ”So go ahead, kill this pathetic form I’m trapped in or imprison me however you wish. Know that doing so you seal your own fate, for without my knowledge how to you expect to defeat the twisted horrors that spring from my prison?”

Tink picks up her wand and sweeps the rest of the gathered gear into her bag of holding.

She keeps all of the conversation telepathic so as not to show her hand "Well if he is trapped in it then imprisonment certainly sounds tempting. Do we know exactly what he is? An outsider? A construct? We might not be able to knock him out and we need to know what spells will be effective"

Restlin approaches the apocalypse goat.

"He's telling the truth. He genuinely thinks that if we kill him, we're all doomed." He rubs his temples. "Too many unknowns, and being a whole other reality, there's no way I can be certain what the correct course of action is.

"If the death of this goat vessel or the man-pig-bear vessel would merge the two of them, he'd have fought the thing by now. Either way he'd win. Maybe the death of the manbearpig would set him free, but in this form he's no match for it." He shrugs. "But who knows?"

Turning to the goat, he continues. "So, Mr. Toreal, Destroyer of Realities, if you were us and keen on making sure you couldn't become you again, what would you do?"

He doesn't expect a straight answer, but Restlin's good enough at reading between the lines that he hopes something helpful comes out of this horror's mouth.

Garret keeps his hold on the creature and ponders that he is able to keep a destroyer of planes in a headlock.

Beri wonders if they can talk with the dead that defeated the devourer last time.

Tink wonders exactly what he is.

Bosk says it would be difficult to talk to the spirits and suggests legend lore.

Restlin approaches the apocalypse goat and observes that he is telling the truth. He also states that there are too many unknowns and then asks Toreal what he would do in their positions if they were set on preventing Toreal from retaining his power.

Garret ponders that he is able to keep a destroyer of worlds in a lock and then asks if they can’t kill it or take it to the cave, can they leave it

Sesha isn’t sure either but states if the death of the goat would allow him to get his power back he would have tried it a while ago. She asks the others if she can use the goat man as a guinea pig for her witch spells.

Wyaar says not to free it, and that they should try to imprison it.

Zane offers to fly back to the town and question the villagers about the devourer

Run. is Toreal’s only response. Run away, and never return.

Garret thinks about the devourer's advice. He says over the rings, "If we leave it, where does that put us? The portal will still be leaking stuff. But this thing isn't the source of the leaking stuff. It sounds like we're going to have to do what this thing wanted in the first place -- destroy the thing in the caves that's spouting crap.

Restlin rolls his eyes. Maybe this little goat thing really is the most powerful foe the Iron Dragons have ever dealt with, but that doesn't mean he has to be an arrogant little jerk about it.

"I mean, you just said we couldn't hope to defeat that piggy bear without you, and in the very next breath you tell us our only hope is to run?" He gets a little closer and narrows his eyes. "You disappoint me, goat."

He turns back to the others. "If that's all it's got, let's find a way to lock him away forever. Sesha, do..." Restlin stops, realizing he's about to give Sesha an order. She doesn't take kindly to such things. "...I have no problem with you experimenting, especially if you can work out an imprisonment spell."

Yea, that was much better. Restlin carefully watches her do her thing, trying to pick up on anything her spell work reveals about magic in this reality.

Sesha - 202/202. AC 30 
Friday May 17th, 2019 2:00:58 PM

Construct Traits: Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms).

Immunity to disease, death effects, necromancy effects, paralysis, poison, sleep effects, and stunning.

Not subject to ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, energy drain, or nonlethal damage.
Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects, or is harmless).

Sesha will try a few spells, starting with the things constructs are generally immune to. To test its resistance to mind-affecting effects, ability damage, and non-lethal damage, she casts a series of spells that check all of those things.

Sesha casts Ill Omen, Bestow Curse, and Pain Strike, which test against the above resistances typical to constructs.

"Im not testing his immunity to death magic.. because.. well.. if he isn't immune..", she lets the implication explain itself. Even she wasn't about to kill a captive.

She also tries a spell with a will save, that is not within the parameters of a normal immunity that constructs have. Scry. (Not enchantment, necromancy, stat reducing, a death effect or mind affecting.)

With the tests ran, she'll have a better idea of what magic might work for long term subduing of the creatures here.

I can just seal him away, right here and now, until someone who can discern both him and his location comes along with a Freedom spell. I just want to know our options before picking one and trusting it."

Does anybody know how that body transfer thing would work if he dies? Hypothetically if we brought him to that strange world without magic what would happen to him?

Tink lays out some constraints for Sesha regarding what she is comfortable with

Garret asks the others over the rings, if they leave the goat where does that put them. He reasons they either have to destroy the thing in the cave or find a way to seal the portal to this world.

Restlin points out the contradictions in what the Goat just says, informing it of his disappointment. He then instructs Sesha to find a way to imprison it.

Sesha tries some things.

Tink brings up the fact the goat is small and he could fit in her bag of holding

Beri asks if anyone knows how the transfer thing would work if the goat died and brings up some other options for dealing with him.

Bosk wants to contact Gimp

Toreal seems amused by Restlin’s reaction. ”Oh I would have helped you defeat the manbearpig to reclaim my power and devour you and this reality, but now that isn’t really an option is it?

He seems equally amused by Sesha’s tests and their insistence on not really hurting him. All of her tests seem to confirm he’s a fairly standard construct; he's immune to the things he should be immune to and vulnerable to the things that he should be vulnerable to.

"Well.", says Sesha, assuming that Bosk shares Gimps non-reply.

"I'm going to seal it away. Then we should probably be okay killing or defeating man-bear-pig, for the safety of those here. Beating it will earn us their help, and then we can use their sentient undead which are willing to help."

She takes a deep breath, then casts her spell, fueling it with her own blood in the process. She was looking a little pale, she had spent a lot of blood in these tests. (Has paid about 80 hp to surrender blood!)

A small sphere raises from the ground and encompasses the goat-man, expanding as necessary. Then it shrinks again, and pulls his body below ground. She speaks as the magic happens.

"Thus, the tests. He's immune to lots of things, but he's not a golem. He's susceptible to spells that test his will, and immune to spells that target his fortitude. Sorry Mage Priest, he's immune to polymorphs. He will be sealed here permanently, unless someone casts a freedom spell. "

She finishes the sealing spell with a flourish. For the briefest moment, her eyes flash and red lines, the colory of ruddy woldsblood, connect her and the goat-man.

She watches him sink below ground.

"Magic balls and scrying and locate object won't locate him, or reveal he's trapped. Discern location does hint he's trapped, but not where. That takes a wish or miracle to find out, followed by the freedom spell to free him. He should be safe here until we need to take him home to the vault or otherwise move him. It might be best to house him here, and have the local residents built a fort here."

From the construct traits section:

Guys, he seemed convinced that we need his knowledge to succeed. I can cast legend lore and try to learn what I can about the monsters in his prison, but we shouldn't do anything rash until that part is figured out.

ooc: I seemed to have over witten my introductory paragraph, summing it up below:

Beri starts to get a little nervous at the talk of using more permanent magic on him, as the party may still have need of this betraying goat. He silently discusses with the others over their rings

Bosk chews his lip and Sesha magics away the goat man. Beri might be right. Best cast Legend Lore to ensure we can defeat the thing without our new friends.

Tink tries to stop Sesha before she casts the spell "Yeah, I think we might still need him with us at some stage. There might be questions for him, we might need to kill him, and we might even need him for the ritual. He is a free willed construct after all. He may not want to help with the ritual, but he is free willed nonetheless. I think we need to take him with us. We can't afford to leave him here when we might need him. We might not have a way back here to get him"

She makes a few other observations "Given the things we are up against I wouldn't be surprised if we face a few miracle or wish spells too. That would mean they could detect and free him, and we'd have no idea. Ordinarily one of those imprisonment spells of yours would make a person trapped for eternity. Perhaps longer if you're the one casting it. Only thing here is that we might need him."

"I think we were incredibly lucky to have caught him off-guard and shouldn't rely on being able to do so again."

"Could we perhaps go with Restlin's plan of polymorphing him into something a little less tame? Small enough that it could fit in a bag of holding. He'd be trapped and undetectable. Should we need him he would be at hand, and he could be killed by simply piercing the bag"

Tink says she is interested to hear what Gimp has to say even if the consensus is to imprison not kill the goat man.

Zane crosses his arms and waits.

Restlin suggests they polymorph the goat-man into a non-intelligent version of itself.

Garret holds tight and thinks of meat on a stick

Sesha uses mother of all curses to seal the goat man away

Bosk relays the communication problems to the group.

Restlin asks about the creature being immune to polymorph

Wyaar keeps his eye on the goat guy.

Tink makes an argument for keeping him out.

Toreal doesn’t seem particularly worried as he sinks beneath the earth, but soon he is well out of sight and the party doesn’t have to look at him sneering at them anymore.

Sesha watches him sink down, then looks at Tink and sighs.

"I can free him now, if we want to, but it will be really embarrassing. I can almost imagine him laughing at me. I also have the polymorph spell we might want to use."

She glances at Restlin.

"I was thinking of Baleful Polymorph, I suppose. Know it all."

Tink is well aware of how proud Sesha can be. It's that sort of self-confidence that Tink admires. She knows this is a tough ask "Given all that is at stake I think you might have to, Sesha. Besides, he won't laugh long once he sees what you turn him into. Anything that would out-do a pink toy pig?"

I like the idea of a toy pig. I've also heard tale of a cursed creature known as forky that might suit him just fine.

As for manbearpig, I don't know what to expect. If this involves the four gates I was told about, we may have an endurance run in front of us before getting to him. And when we face him, we should focus on him first. Beyond that, really only Mr. Goat would be able to guess what's before us.

Sesha watches Toreal sink beneath the ground and tells Tink she can free him if they want but it would be embarrassing. She tells Restlin she was thinking about baleful polymorph.
Garret watches the goatman sink and ask if they go after his better half.
Zane says he was hoping Sesha would make Toreal a bunny and agrees they should move on.
Tink still thinks that they should bring Toreal back and polymorph him and points out that he won’t laugh long when Toreal sees what they want to turn him into but it has to be better than a toy piggy.
Wyaar suggests a newt.
Restlin suggests a pink toy pig in a dress with a stupid look on its face and their kids can play with it when old enough. He suggests moving on and leaving Toreal in place.
Beri suggests either the pig or something called forky. He voices doubt about the upcoming battle with ManBearPig and suggests that Mr. Goat is the only one who could tell them what to expect.
Bosk asks if they should make any preparation before moving on. He asks about another casting of legend lore.

The party seems to be evenly split between the idea of moving on or potentially freeing Toreal only to polymorph him into a more portable less annoying form. Probably best to come to a consensus regarding Toreal before moving on.

"Long term, I'd feel more comfortable having this ancient evil in a place and form where we can keep an eye on him. Imprisonment is one heck of a spell, but this little guy could be freed using a one-two combo of discern location and freedom. High level magics, but there may be a whole cadre of stupid powerful wizards in this world that we're not aware of.

"For right now, I vote we leave Mr. Goat imprisoned and handle the pigbearman."

Beri considers Gaarret's question.
I am pretty sure he was leading us the right direction before. If his goal was to use us he wouldn't have lied about where we were going. It's everything after we get to the prison that's a mystery.

You know, in the time it takes us to decide what to do, pack up, and cast any buffs before we head out, my legend lore spell would be complete anyway. I'm going to go ahead and give it a shot. For something as major as the Devourer of universes, it's capture and long imprisonment, and leaking power so strong it is manipulating inter-dimensional portals, it would be foolish not to do the extra recon.

Restlin suggests leaving Toreal where he is for now but suggests it should only be a temporary measure as they don’t know if there are stupid powerful wizards running around aligned with Toreal.

Garret asks if anyone knows where they can find the manbearpig

Beri says he thinks that they were going in the right direction as he doubts Toreal would lie
given his goal. He then proceeds to cast legend lore.

Zane takes to the air and scouts the immediate area

Sesha says she’s inclined to agree with Restlin given that the seeming spell will through off onlookers and she doubts he has friends. She ponders what happens if they turned him lose against Kevintar and Marteus

Wyaar advises against another variable in the fight

Bosk waits for the result of the legend lore before buffing

Tink is ready to accept the majority rule.

The party reflects. They had been making camp when Toreal’s true identity was uncovered. As such they have not had a chance to rest. As for the cave with the Manbearpig, all they know is that it is nearby. Toreal said they were close and should rest in the morning. It could be right next to them, or up to a couple hours away.

Bosk’s legend lore gives him the same vision Sesha had of the final fight with the devourer. It seems casting the same spell about the same target in the same place provides the same result (Sesha’s spell was just a higher level version with a faster casting speed).

Restlin's eyes widen at the thought of the devourer joining the fight between Kevintar and Marteus. He really, really wants to see that. Wyarr's right though. He sighs.

"Let's bed down and rest up. It's late and it sounds like the fight we have ahead of us is a tough one. I have a feeling we'll have a better idea of what to do with this dumb goat once we deal with the manbearpig."

He sure hopes so, at least.

Wow, that was crazy, but I'm pretty sure that is exactly what Sesha saw before. I suppose that's all there is to learn. Looks like were still discussing what to donext, did I miss anything while I was casting that spell?

I agree that we should be rested and full strength before attempting this. Other than that, it sounds like we'll be flying by the seat of our pants once we start.

Beri explains to the others he saw what Sesha did. He asks if he missed anything and then agrees they get some rest first. He talks about them flying by the seat of their pants.

Beri stands up after having refreshed his spells for the morning, straightens out his cloak, and joins the others for a cup of coffee and to strategize before heading out.
So, just to summarize, we just imprisoned half of an immortal terror, on our way to free and kill the other half of the immortal terror, so that we can free another immortal threat before he frees himself, so that another slightly less devastating immortal can destroy him... this can't possibly backfire.

Well, if Tink is taking point, I'll take to the air with Zane as an air elemental. I'll stay to the right side and at a slightly different height to make sure we aren't in the same line of sight should we be attacked.

Bosk also casts protection from fire on himself. He suggests potentially waiting until tomorrow if things take too long as he questions the wisdom in risking death from the heat.

With the party protected from fire they enter the cave. The temperature quickly shoots up and as they emerge into a large cavern they can see a pool of lava in the middle of it. Steam and flames periodically shoot from crevasse in the rock and the whole place looks like it it would be sweltering, though the party can’t feel it (if anyone forgot protection of some sort take 1d6 fire damage for breathing the air).

Across the lava, in an isolated section of the cave, sits the manbearpig. It looks about as advertised, a large humanoid figure that looks like it was created by sewing together several stuffed animals, a man, a bear, and a pig. It’s surrounded by Puppybabymonkeys that are singing and dancing about it. Suddenly it stands up, seemingly alerted by something. The Puppybabymonkeys freeze, watching it. It spasms and writhes in seeming agony as black, vicious ichor starts to poor from it’s eyes, mouth, ears, and nose. It streams out at and impressive rate, creating a pile about as big as it is. The pile shifts and moves, forming into a figure before it starts to congeal and change color, forming a new monster. It looks like a frog as large as a minotaur, but it has a limbless torso sticking out if it’s head where it’s eyes should be. One ends in a goat head, grey furred and horned, the other a red dragon head, with scales and fangs.

The Puppybabymonkeys cheer, the Manbearpig falls heavily back to it’s seated position, and the singing and dancing resumes. The strange frog monster speaks, it’s strangled voice echoing through the cave, it’s voice alien and horrible. The heads also speak, the voices combining into a discordant chorus.

Knowledge: Arcana 40 Highlight to display spoiler: { it’s hard to tell between it’s mangled voice, the distance, and the echos, but it’s casting a spell… no wait, all three heads are casting three different spells at the same time. Impossible to tell the specifics from here, probably buffs of some sort since nothing obviously magical happens. }

"This bloody thing can cast three spells at the same time, but it looks like it follows the same verbal and somatic limitations we do. If anyone has a silence spell ready, this would be a great time to use it! Even if we counterspell, we can't do it three times that quickly."

Restlin sighs as Garret pops over and starts punching. "Have we still not learned to let the casters bombard the bad guys before jumping into battle? How long have we been doing this?"

He opts for a maximized chain lightning. He primarily targets the manbearpig, but the bolt hops around and strikes all the bad guys.

Sesha watches Garret, just a little astonished.

"..let me go hit it?"

No plan, just punch the pig-man-bear.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" she shouts in frustration. Somehow, she had thought that Garrets ascendance to something other than mortal would reduce these sorts of happenings.

Not quite sure where to start, she starts off with the tried and true Time Stop. She gets only a couple rounds of respite, and casts both Shield of Faith and Barkskin. In each of those rounds, she also casts quickened spells. Stoneskin and Blink.

Tink takes in the odd creature and surmises they could kill it. She pulls out her quicken rod and hastes the party before tapping herself with the wand of shield as she remembers the puppy monkey babies.

Garret says I’ll go see if I can hit it and he takes an abundant step to show up behind the three headed creature. He hits it.

Restlin catches on that the creature casts 3 spells at once and suggests someone cast silence if they have it because of the fact that they couldn’t keep up with it if they tried to counterspell. He sighs as Garret rushes in and grabs his metamagic rod to use some chain lightning.
(OOC: roll a SR check on your chain lightning)

Zane says he has a bad idea and asks the others to let him know when they want him to pull it before granting Bosk its benefit.

Beri suggests the quicker the better and that he too has a bad idea but he starts summoning a giant.

Zane says that since he can fly without magic that no one should get near him as he could antimagic field himself and then fly over there.
(OOC: DM Suggestion read wings description in Draconic Bloodline and the text of antimagic field with respect to what kind of things are affected by it)

Wyarr prepares to smite.

Sesha yells in frustration and time stops to buff up.

Bosk makes a plan to throw an enchanted tanglefoot bag, but he’s about 200 feet away from the thing and his throwing arm is not that good.

Tink points out the magic field means they can’t heal Zane.

The 9 puppy monkey babies aura effects Garret when he pops out of his step to punch the mage thing. (Garret must roll a DC 48 will save or be caught up in the puppy monkey baby dance as if under the effect of irresistible dance and take 1 con drain)
The puppy monkey babies all open fire on Garret with their magic missiles (79 damage)

The Manbearpig rushes around the other monsters and at Garret, throwing itself at him with mindless viciousness. It smacks Garret upside the head with it’s sword (26 damage & 4 frost & 4 shock) while also clawing and biting at him (two misses).

The Goat head casts time stop. Suddenly it’s a heck of a lot more crowded around Garret.

The other heads, being part of the same creature, also get time stop and cast a variety of buff spells.

"Ok then"

Tink sends a greater dispel magic spell just north of the balor. If her accuracy is as good as she hopes she manages to catch both Frost Giants, one nalfeshnee, the chimera, and PBM1,2,4,5,7,8, all the while safely avoiding Garret.

She then flies westwards to separate herself from the bulk of the group. Chances are some area spells are about to be sent this way.

More bad guys? Two can play at that game...

Restlin digs deep into his well of luck to pull some outrageous shenanigans.

First, he casts time stop, giving himself 6 rounds. He approaches the lava flow as he casts his spells, putting himself within range of the manbearpig.

Round 1: Summon Monster XI - Astral Deva (buffed from conj. school)
Round 2: Summon Monster XI - Astral Deva (buffed from conj. school)
Round 3: Summon Monster XI - Astral Deva (buffed from conj. school)
Round 4: Mage's Sword, attacking manbearpig (SR check 32)
Round 5: Mage's Sword, attacking manbearpig (SR check 34)
Round 6: Repulsion - DC to come any closer to Restlin is 38 (will)

When time stop ends, all his adds descend upon the MBP.

(Assuming the devas need to move into position and therefor don't get a full attack this round).

AD1: Hit AC 35 for 22
AD2: Hit AC 39 for 21
AD3: Hit AC 43 for 18

Fix Garret.

Sesha casts another time stop, and gains another 3 rounds.

Round 1.

She casts summon broom and flys towards Garrets position.

Round 2.

She casts lesser spell immunity: magic missile and gets next to Garret. (have no idea where she is on the map but thats a lot of movement in two rounds.)

Round 3.

She casts stone skin.

------------------------------

As time speeds back up and her immunity ends, she uses a hero point to cast shadow-walk, whisking her and Garret into the shadow realm. She successfully casts defensively.

------------------------------

Sesha's Witchfire casts invisibility on Restlin after his spells go off, then it flies forward towards the fighting.

DM, feel free to tell me what/where is going on with Garret. Does the AM field get rid of the dancing effect? If so, if he steps out of the field, will a new save happen, or will the old effect happen? Does the shadow-walk effect happen if he's in the anti-magic field? And does that have any effect on the dancing effect?

Tink sends a greater dispel magic hitting both Frost Giants, one nalfeshnee, the chimera, and PBM1,2,4,5,7,8. Both Frost Giants and the Nalfeshnee wink out of existence. The auras of PBM 1,2,4,5,7 and 8 are temporarily suppressed so puppy monkey babie’s 6 and 9 only share a 50 foot aura. One of the chimera’s buff spells also is stripped by Tink’s casting.
Zane turns himself into an antimagic field bomb, planting himself acrobatically where he can remove the other 2 summoned creatures.
Restlin casts his own time stop summoning a number of devas and spiritual weapons to spring into action against the Man Bear Pig.
Garret starts dancing to the puppy monkey baby beat.
(OOC: Garret’s SR stopped 7 of 9 magic missiles so he only took 17 damage)
(OOC: Shadow walk won’t work within the field, Garret can’t move from the place he is in all he can do is dance, if Zane moves the field to Garret, then yes the effect would end. This is kind of moot though as the puppy monkey babies are all dead.)
Wyaar unloads on the chimera frog mage
Beri’s storm giant casts chain lightning on the puppy monkey baby, chimera and the lightning hits
Bosk casts silence before dim dooring near the chimera.
(OOC: yes the fire walk is stopped by an AMF)
Sesha casts time stop moves near Garret, giving him magic missile immunity and then stone skin. Her witchfire makes Restlin invisible and speeds towards the battle.

The Man Bear Pig spasms and writhes in seeming agony as black, vicious ichor starts to poor from it’s eyes, mouth, ears, and nose. The stream congeals into another monster. Once again it has created a Chimera Frog Mage

The three devas perform full round attacks on the MBP, and the mage's swords also continue their attacks.

Restlin finds himself invisible, which is really convenient since that was his next move anyway. There aren't many targets, so he takes aim for the manbearpig with a maximized disintegration ray.

Zane yells out to his companions that he’s pretty much stuck where he is so he proceeds to attack the frog mage. He hits it once.

Restlin’s summons and sword continue to attack the ManBearPig. Most of the devas attacks hit as do both magic weapons. Restlin fires off his own disintegrate which strikes the ManBearPig and it takes full damage but it is still standing.

Wyaar unloads on the ManBearPig with his full smite and all attacks hit,killing it.

Beri’s Giants have nothing to target as the Chimera Frog Mage dissolves into a puddle once the ManBearPig was slain.

Tink stands ready to do something

Garret stops dancing and tries to figure out what to do about the blob spewing blob but it would seem that Wyaar beat him to it.

The Manbearpig fails it’s save then is pounded with holy energies. It’s quickly turn apart, black good spraying everywhere. The Chimerafrogmage gives an unholy schriek and spasms, it’s form twisting and fading back into the black goop it came from. The corpses scattered about the room also blacken and disintegrate into more of the black goo and all of it is drawn towards the destroyed Manbearpig.

Suddenly from outside the cavern more of the stuff comes, a thousand rivulets that start to converge into a massive stream. It seems the death of the Manbearpig has caused the scattered power that formed it’s spawn to be pulled back to their point of origin. It forms a great mass of writhing energy, one that twists in the air and is clearing approaching an explosive climax.

"Yep, time to leave. What is about to happen is going to be big, and we don't want to be here. Let's teleport back to that animal village" Tink will grab hold of Bosk, Zane and Garret "We can give them an update on what happened and it's near the portal for us to leave. Restlin? You got Sesha, Beri and Wyaar?"

Tink isn't going to cast the teleport until she can be sure they will all be leaving at the same time.

Tink tells the others that it is time to leave and suggests heading back to the animal village. She grabs hold of Bosk, Zane and Garret and asks if Restlin has Sesha, Beri and Wyaar.

Zane echoes concern for the summoned demons they had to contend with that winked out of existence when he used his antimagic field. He suggests a course of action that will let him get to Tink after the AM field is dropped.

Restlin answers Tink that he has the other’s covered but suggests going to where Sesha imprisoned the goat man instead

Garret nods and holds onto Tink

Beri dismisses his storm giants and prepares to Teleport

Tink agrees with Restlin’s suggestion.

Bosk is ready to teleport.

You arrive in the clearing where Sesha imprisoned Toreal, everything seems to be the same as you left it, with no outword clue as to the Devourer being imprisoned here. You have just enough time to catch your bearings before there is a horrific crash as the mountain explodes and you are all reminded of the events that kicked of the Sargrass crisis. In fact a bit of flaming debris seems to be headed your way. It lands with a deep thud about 20 feet south of your current position. You can't see much from where you are aside from a fairly deep impact crater.

Perception:35Highlight to display spoiler: {It would appear that there is something at the bottom of the impact crater. Improbably enough it appears to be heart-shaped. Could this remnant of the manbearpig be the 2nd ritual heart you were tasked with obtaining?}

Tink does a quick look around to make sure everyone is accounted for.

"Um. There's something in that crater there and it looks vaguely 'heart' shaped."

Not keen on touching it directly or even getting too close to the crater, Tink casts a Mage Hand spell to pick up the remnant.

Lifeless or not, considering Mr. Goat's life pursuit I'd suggest keeping him as far from the vault as possible on the off chance he has one last nasty surprise. Maybe we could cover the ground with a huge slab of stone to prevent anyone from digging him up.

Bosk shakes his head, I have two bags of holding, I try to save one for things like this. I actually do not like sucking enemies into non-dimensional space. I feel like I am polluting a pristine land.
The Horned Cleric makes sure good gloves are on and his buffs are in place before grabbing his "spatula of corpse retrieval" and placing it in the bag of holding.

Wednesday June 5th, 2019 1:25:05 AM
Tink takes a moment to do a headcount and then points out there is something in the crater.

Garret asks if the other part is still here and if they can leave it buried underground.

Zane points out they have another part and says that very bad ideas are sometimes the right idea after all. He thinks it is time someone else had a bad idea.

Restlin asks Bosk to scoop up the item in the crater with one of his bags of holding. He then opines they should free Toreal and put him into some nonliving form.

Beri thinks they should keep Toreal away from the vault whether he’d be lifeless or not considering his goal. He asks if they cannot put a stone slab over his resting place.

Bosk says he only has 2 bags of holding and then proceeds to protect himself as he gets his spatula of corpse retrieval in order to put the heart shaped remains into his bag. He also says he doesn’t like to pollute interdimensional spaces.

Wyaar doesn’t quite believe Bosk regarding holes in space-time continuum but he remains silent.

The object retrieved looks like a heart, black as night, still twitching as if it was alive and pumping blood. Anyone who interacts with it, even if they don’t touch it directly, can feel a gentle pulling sensation at the back of their mind, as if even this small remnant of the Devourer seeks to consume your very essence. The arcane inclined of the group are pretty sure this counts as “The Heart of Evil”.

There is some debate as to what, if anything, to do with Torial.

"I'm ok with polymorphing him and tucking him away somewhere safe. When we leave this place we have no idea if we could get back should we need to."

"That being said, we could probably leave him here for the time being. When we next meet with Gimp we could tell him what happened and let Gargul determine an appropriate punishment - or prison - for Torial. Who knows, maybe Kevintar's prison will become his"

With Tink putting out arguments for both sides, she looks out to the horizon

"Let's not waste too much time on this discussion. I'd like to head back to that village to let them know what has happened. We should make sure Torial didn't do anything there before we came along."

Tink indicates she’s ok polymorphing Toreal and tucking him away somewhere safe as they don’t know if they can get back. She says they could probably leave him here for the time being and suggests ultimately asking Gimp what they should do about Toreal. She suggests heading back to the village.

Restlin agrees on the village but suggests they tell the denizens Toreal died

Garret lets his mind wander to thoughts of Bryn Baraz

Zane suggests letting Toreal out as they are taking the heart with them when they go

Beri argues they leave him locked up where they can find him

Wyaar says they should leave him imprisoned go to the village and see if they can’t figure out what Gimp wants them to do with the goat

Bosk asks if they should tell the animals that their defender was the destroyer of worlds

The consensus seems to be to head back to the village for now, so the party does so. The villagers are in the process of cleaning everything up. The carts are out of the road and doors and windows are open rather than shuttered and locked. When the party appears they start to gather around them again, clearly curious as to what has happened.

"Let him go? Just cause he's not an ancient, reality devouring Power anymore doesn't mean he's not evil as they come. Who knows what he's still capable of."

They arrive, ready to fill in the townsfolk about what happened...but honestly, he's not sure lying is the best idea after all.

Nah, it probably is.

"Good people...err, animals. We bring word that we have hunted down the creature responsible for the monsters that have been roaming lately.

Tink is happy to leave the talking to Restlin.

Zane asks if the animal villagers are what they look like do they have hearts

Garret wanders into town and smiles and waves

Restlin opines over the ring that just because Toreal can’t become the devourer doesn’t mean that he isn’t still evil.
He addresses the town,
"Good people...err, animals. We bring word that we have hunted down the creature responsible for the monsters that have been roaming lately. Not man, not bear, not pig, but somehow all three in one...confusing package. We were able to dispatch it and carry with us it's heart, as black and evil as they come. Toreal...well, Toreal didn't make it. No doubt the capable old goat rests where he deserves. Thanks to his guidance, the monsters that terrorized this place are no more."

Beri asks over the rings if it makes sense to actually warn the town about Toreal should he somehow become freed.

Bosk stays quiet.

The villagers seem very happy that the attacks will stop. They don’t seem to upset about Torial; it seems they really didn’t know him, he just showed up one day and started killing monsters. ”He w-was kind of scary.” Piglet comments.

"If Toreal should show up again, your instincts were correct Piglet. He was not exactly trust worthy. He was not with us when we faced the evil in the mountain,
We wish you all good times, but we have further adventures of our own that we must continue onward."
Over the rings, Should we tell them about the gate and to contact the guardian if they need to?"

"Pretty sure the guardian is gonna close that gate. We're going to use the heart of Toreal's power to free a god. After that, he should never be able to really threaten reality again.

"Still, he's smart, and evil. Those two things have caused a lot of trouble, even without untold power behind it. Part of me still thinks we should take him out, but part of me isn't sure that won't help him in the long run. I think it's best if we just agree to never, ever speak of the Devourer again. Sesha's made sure that only very powerful spellcasters specifically looking for Toreal can find him. Maybe our best option is to erase him from history."

With that in mind, he has one further thing to say to this village.

"Zane is right. He is not to be trusted. He should trouble you no more, but remember that knowledge is power. If you would rather not deal with the little jerk ever again, do not speak of him. Do not write about him in your stories. Let history forget about him..."

He turns back. "Ok, let's get out of this place. It's weird."

Take care, and may your lands enjoy many years of peace and tranquility.

Beri turns to the other as they start heading back towards the gate.
Well, if we are hunting things that Gargul chose because they weren't in our world, I suppose that means the remaining portals are our next stops. I wonder what the caretaker can tell us about each of the realms they contain.

Tink smiles respectfully and says the village will now be safe. She suggests they keep going.

Zane tells the piglet that Toreal wasn’t trustworthy and his instincts were correct.

Restlin tells the others over the rings he thinks the guardian is going to close the gate, he also points out that Sesha’s spell is pretty powerful and suggests to the village they let history forget the goat man.

Wyaar is also ready to move on.

Garret agrees this place is weird and suggests they move on to get the next thing they need to collect.

Beri tells the villagers to take care. He tells the others that he surmises the other portals are their next stops and wonders what the guardian might be able to tell them.

The villagers seem a little confused about warnings of Torial after they stated he was gone, but they just seem happy to be safe and don’t ask to many questions. Soon the party is back to the portal and they are able to open it and return.

The Custodian, Dock, and Megaman are there to greet their return. ”The instability has ceased.” the Custodian informs them. ”It seems you were successful.”

DM Mitch

Tink asks if the portals are normally left sealed and if it would make sense to leave them sealed for the time being.
Zane asks where they should go next and if they should rest.
Restlin asks the Guardian if he ever went through that portal and that it is weird. He then thinks over what they need.
Garret agrees about resting and then suggests contacting Gimp
Wyaar agrees about sealing the portal and resting
Beri agrees with Wyaar and mentions the portal leading to the undead world and asks if they know anything else about the other worlds.
Bosk updates Gimp on the situation and then asks the custodian to tell them more about the other portals.

Gimp receives the parties report and tells them to keep up the good job.

The party reviews their progress and what exactly it was they were doing. To complete the ritual and free the god they needed 5 hearts; the hearts of Order, Chaos, Good, Evil, and Balance. From the cyberworld they retrieved the heart of Balance, a mix of magic, tech, and biology perfectly tuned to work in harmony. From the world they just left they got the Heart of Evil, that of the ancient monstrocity known as the Devourer.

Additionally the party must gather 5 beings to enact the ritual who are the antithesis of Gargul. 2 Undead, 2 constructs, and a hybrid of Undead and Construct must be gathered, all of whom must be powerful enough to channel the energies of the hearts (at least 20th level) and have free will. Megaman, the strange ally you picked up from the tech world, is the hybrid, a mix of reanimated flesh and robotic construction. Dock, the free willed flying boat they found in the Sargrass, serves as one of the constructs, it’s unique construction and material allowing it to survive the energies in question.

Three hearts and three allies remain to be gathered. From various hints coming from Gimp and the Custodian the party has determined they can find them in the three remaining portals. They have hints on way lay beyond the portals due to the chaos of earlier and inhabitants being pulled through unexpectedly. One had several Undead come through, seemingly free-willed. One had a large group of barbarian warriors emerge. The third was sealed before the fight and nothing came through that the party saw.

From what the Custodian tells the party it can glean some limited information from the worlds on the other side. One contains many undead, another whence the barbarians came is trapped in endless war, and the third is calm and peaceful, but a great spiritual battle is boiling up in the background.

"Once everyone has recovered from that last realm we should press on." Tink looks across the options "So three different paths to choose from? I guess we'll have to go through all of them at one point or another."

Unless anyone has a strong preference one way or another, Tink is happy to go with the one the lucky mendicant has a good feeling about.

Beri nods at the talk of getting a quick nap in, between the previously rapidly changing wold of vibrant colors they just left and that transition of the portal itself, he's not even sure it's still the same day, much less breakfast time.

I agree with going to the undead first, especially since the king will likely have been informed that we will be coming soon. That said, custodian, can you tell us a little more about that great spiritual battle that is boiling up? Is it spiritual as the people that live there are being pulled in two directions on some issue, or more literal in the sense that some deities are about to lead their followers into battle?

I'm not sure if the answer will affect our decision on where to go next, but I warring gods is something I wouldn't want to take lightly.

Tink suggests they press on once everyone is rested.

Restlin suggests they visit the undead realm

Garret agrees to visit that realm after breakfast and a nap and asks if they are just talking not fighting

Zane suggests they should be ready for a little of both and makes a comparison to not having to fight would be like Garret eating a single meat on a stick in an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Wyaar agrees with the assessment and to start with talking but to later be prepared for more

Sesha comments if anyone is going to luck them down the right path it is Restlin

Beri nods at the idea of getting a nap and then asks the custodian for more information on the spiritual conflict brewing in one of the other realm.

Bosk asks if anyone recalls any tactics used by the Undead in the brief fight they had.

The Custodian explains that it can’t directly watch the realms on the other side of the portal, it can just sense trends and energy. There is a large amount of the negative energy that indicates undead coming from the portal, for instance, and it can sense a shifting and upheaval in the different spiritual energies of the other, indicating a conflict brewing. It can sense great powers that match the heart descriptions in the various portals, meaning they can likely find the hearts they need, and from indirect observation knows undead and/or constructs are common in the realities making it likely they can find someone who will work with them. Add in a prediction from Gargul that the party will find what they need the party can be pretty confident they’re heading to the right place.

With the decision made and the party rested they head out, stepping through the next portal. The now-familiar swirl of colors and images of the extra-dimensional travel flashes before their eyes. Suddenly there’s a jerking feeling sideways, like they’re being wrenched away from their destination. The swirls of color blur and blend into a sickening pattern and a sensation of falling strikes the entire party.

They crash back into reality in some darkened room. Candles and torches sputter, doing their best to light the space. As their eyes adjust the party can see they’re in some large basement area standing on a summoning circle. Two humans, somewhere in their 20’s and dressed in robes, stare at the party from the other side of a podium upon which sits a spellbook. The young woman turns to the young man and hits him on the shoulder. ”You did it wrong! Those aren’t dragons!” The man pouts, then points at Zane. "That one looks dragony. Maybe they're in disguise?"

If anyone examines the circle closely and makes an arcana 30 check Highlight to display spoiler: {The circle is carefully and skillfully inscribed, but someone made a mistake, repeating a rune in the wrong place, which renders the entire thing useless.}

"Why even fake it? We're dragons..."

Knowledge, Arcana is autopass.

"I'm Restlin of the Iron Dragons, and if you young idiots took us from our mission then I swear...wait a minute. Which one of you chumps duplicated this Boerc rune here? You are the luckiest amateurs I've met in a long time." He pauses to chuckle a bit at how these things work out, then gets his serious face back on. "These are the Iron Dragons. On the one hand, an actual dragon would have slaughtered all of you by now. On the other, we have torn literal dragons to pieces, so think twice before discounting us. Now, one of you start talking real fast."

Just before they step into the portal, Garret says, "Hey wait, did Zane say he has fresh meat on a stick?"

When the arrive, Garret plops down on his rear end and looks around. When Restlin mentions that the runes are wrong, he casually attempts to walk out of the summoning circle to go lean on a wall while watching the summoners.

He is trying to test to see if the circle is stopping them from moving at all, without making it obvious if it stops him. If he is stopped, he will mention that to the others over the rings.

Clarification: a circle normally binds the summoned creature and protects the caster from them. The binding and protecting part is not working (which the arcana check was meant to reveal) but otherwise it should successfully work to summon something. Garret finds he is easily stick a limb out of the circle.

Sesha certainly hopes Zane is wrong. Still, the humans seemed like they actually some some magical skills, even if they were novices. She casts detect magic and takes a quick look about, focusing on the robed folks particularly.

"If it comes down to killing them Restlin, leave me the girl. She's got some sort of magical talent, and she's not afraid to assert dominance either. Some things are put to better use dominated than decimated."

Sesha had quite as much as she could stand lately of being a hero.

The obvious disapproval from some of her colleagues over her handling Toreal had chaffed a little, especially when no apologies or recognition had come from the fact that her rather harsh handling of THAT matter had spared them a battle with a cosmic evil.

She knew she was a good person, and there was a reason she drew the lines she did. It was enough for her.

Tink looks about the room to try to get a feel for the surroundings. She asks, “What’s the play? If they were trying to summon dragons then perhaps they would be more willing to co-operate with us if they think we ARE true dragons in disguise”

Restlin replies to Tink why fake it when they are dragons. He then proceeds to dress their would be summoners down and asks them to start talking real fast.

Garret barely has time to ask about meat on a stick before they find themselves in their new surroundings. He is easily able to limp through the summoning circle.

Zane asks if they are back in Chuck’s world.

Wyaar uses detect evil but none of them register

Sesha hopes Zane is wrong about them being back in Chuck’s world and then tells Restlin to leave her the girl if it does come to a fight. She is really chafing under how the others reacted to the handling of Toreal. She also detects magic and sees no active effects; it seems these two don’t have a collection of magic items like an adventurer might be wearing.

Beri finds that his magic works just fine.

Bosk introduces himself and states his title.

The pair of humans look alarmed when Restlin explains their mistake, especially when Garret so casually demonstrates how useless their protections are. At Bosks mention of his title they both go extremely pale.

The woman rallies first. ”Greetings I-Iron Dragons. We summoned you here for we are in desperate need. A tyrant known as the Dead King rules our city with an iron fist, oppressing us with his fanatical priests and undead warriors. In recent days people have been vanishing off the streets and the guard has been even more oppressive, dragging people in for questioning and taking away our freedoms. In our desperation we sought out help from any source and thus brought you here. We throw ourselves at your mercy, please help us!”

The young man adds meekly, ”Please don’t eat us.”

Restlin looks around. "Looks like we weren't pulled into a different dimension, at least." He tries to get a hint to the level of magic/technology in this place (perception: 57).

Restlin tries to judge the level of tech and magic. Unfortunately they’re in a mostly stone basement. He can see stones, torches, and the already examined ritual circle, none of which provide any clues whatsoever. His magic works fine though.

Zane moves in and starts eating before Garret gets it all.

Garret leans up against the wall and jumps when food is offered.

Sesha makes a show of pouting when things stay peaceful. She finds necromancy seems to work the same as at home, no boost of any sort.

Beri asks some rapid fire questions

Zane needs a sub.

Bosk comments that this seems to be the kind of thing they’re good at.

Tink stays quiet.

The pair seem perfectly happy to answer any questions the party has. Everyone starts heading towards the mansion portal chatting and testing magic, when suddenly there’s a loud crashing sound from above. The two young humans spin about, staring at the stairs to the ground floor. ”This is the UKD, we have detected an unsanctioned summoning! Everyone on the ground, now!” a voice bellows. From the party’s long experience and the unnatural reverb of the voice it’s obviously undead.

”It’s the feds!” the young man yells. The woman doesn’t waste time with words, rushing over to the back wall. A touch on a stone causes a mechanism to activate and a section of wall to move to the side revealing a teleportation circle. ”This is our escape route, it’ll destroy itself after activation so they can’t track us. Everyone get on, hurry!”

It’ll be a squeeze, but it’s big enough the party should all fit if they want to flee.

"Hmmm" It sounds like these people might be criminals on the run from the law. As a Justicar she should really be stopping and questioning them. Since it sounds like the law is some sort of undead Tink's inclined to look the other way. For now...

Restlin wonders what a "fed" is. Chances are they can take on a few feds at least, but if Tink of all people is ok with brushing them off, he will too. He squeezes into the circle.

He checks the circle for defects, especially after they screwed up summoning circle.

He also wonders how they detected a random summoning spell in the first place. Was this entire place under that much surveillance?

Restlin confirms the circle will work as advertised and the party crowds onto it. As advertised they just manage to all fit; also as advertised it takes very little time for these “Feds” to find the basement. As the party vanishes they see a squad of people charge down the steps. A human undead, obviously a spellcaster, leads them, but following him is a living Elf woman who glows with holy power and a strange lizard man in addition to a few other undead. They glare and call out, but the party is already gone.

The party finds themselves in another basement, this one much dustier. The place looks abandoned really, lit only by a pair of magelights the two humans make, though trails in the dust indicate they’ve come here before. Various old clothes and storage bins full of supplies line the walls, some rotting and falling apart, others in better repair and holding new looking sets of gear and preserved food.

”That was great! Did you see the look on their faces!?!” the young man crows. He does a little dance in glee, unable to contain himself.

The woman doesn’t take time to celebrate the successful escape though. ”We can’t stay here, the circle destroyed itself but their spellcasters will still manage to trace us in an hour or two. They’re very good at their job. Now’s the time for your questions while we gather what we can carry and find you disguises, half of you are species I’ve never seen before and we’ll get grabbed for sure in the streets.”

The young man manages to contain himself and soon the pair are digging through the clothing to find local stuff that will help the party blend in, prestidigitating away any dirt and grime. Most of is in remarkably good condition, further confirming that most of the dust is just to disguise the nature of the place.

"Ok. Let's hold on a minute here. It sounds like you are running from the authorities. Why? What's going on? Let's start with your names and take it from there"

Tink folds her arms and looks at the pair. The young man looks like the sort that would crack first. She stares right at him. She'll then have a good look at the woman too.

Bosk nods. Is magic use common in this area? If not, I can stay hidden quite easily. Can they detect invisibility? Bosk will activate his ring of invisibility if they cannot and holds an action to slip into the shadow realm if necessary.

Restlin asks Wyaar for a reading deferring to Tink to do the talking.

Zane asks if being invisible would help to avoid the feds as any attempt to reduce his size would not last long.

Garret looks around nervously trying to find all the exits

Sesha asks if the feds have access to domination

Beri asks if he needs to make any changes to be less noticeable then further asks about the glowing elf woman asking their would be summoners to tell them everything.

Tink zeroes in on the fact the pair are running from the authorities and asks them to explain starting with their names.

Bosk also asks about invisibility.

The pair shake their heads at the suggestion of invisibility. ”This is a crowded city, if you’re invisible you’ll just get trampled or draw attention to it when people run into you.” the young man explains.

He continues ”What we need is something to conceal your form, shape change magic maybe, or just some bulky clothing. We have enough here to cover most of you, including stuff for you bigger folks. It won’t fit right, we don’t have any… whatever you are here, but we have similarly large species around. We also don’t have any children’s clothing though, so I’m not sure how to disguise you. Are you a baby dragon? Only a few decades old?” he looks to Garret as he asks this, clearly having never seen a Halfling before.

The young woman answers the other questions. ”I’m Jane, and this is James. We met by accident when a waiter confused our orders and found we had similar interests. We’ve worked together ever since. As for why we’re wanted that’d be because of you guys. Summoning is strictly prohibited and they have magical detection to track down anyone who does such things. We thought we’d warded the basement so they couldn’t detect it, but I guess we failed. I believe I mentioned the Dead King is served by a small army of priests, wizards, and other spellcasters. Small magical disguises like an illusion or shapechange will work, but if you go flying around town invisibly someone’s going to notice and you’ll be taken in for questioning.”

”You also asked for a history lesson I believe? The Dead King has ruled us for as long as we remember and as long as my parents can remember. His priests claim he saved everyone from some big extra-dimensional war with demons and monsters and that only his strict laws and powerful armed forces protect us from being overrun. I don’t believe it myself, I think they’re just scaring people to keep power.”

James jumps in while holding up a loincloth as big as he is up in front of Zane, trying to judge his size. ”His followers are known as the Dead King’s Disciples and his elites some fancy phrase from some old language. Fraternitas Ex Dominatus I think? We call them Corpse Lovers. In Elvish, for the elites.”

Anyone who knows elvish and puts in some thought realizes that FED can stand for something incredibly insulting in elvish that could be roughly translated into corpse lover. Like, super offensive. Just… wow these guys must really hate the Feds, or heard it from someone who didn’t bother to explain just how offensive it is in elvish.

Garret says over the rings while grabbing the smallest clothes he can find, "I'm not sure what to do here. We're here because we think we need the help of the ruling undead here, but we're quickly taking up with apparent enemies of the ruling undead. Do we need to get away from these folks quickly and just head for the king and ask our questions? I'm afraid if we get caught with these folks that we're going to have a hard time talking our way out of that with the authorities..."

Sesha snickers at the elven phrase. She suddenly liked these two a little bit more. She refers back to the ring.

"We need to remember why we are here. Are we better served bucking authority, or working alongside it? Which one will get us to our end goal faster? Our current quest isn't to liberate people from an Undead King who, strict or not, seems to have built a functioning society."

Beri responds over the ring
I literally haven't heard a single thing that would make me believe they aren't the bad guys in this scenario. They are wanted because the king doesn't want them performing dangerous summons... which they performed... incorrectly... and had they succeeded in summoning a dragon would have overrun them. Things aren't adding up.

Beri addresses those that summoned him
So, I see why he came to power, and such an outrageous claim as his war seems like it wouldn't have been accepted if it wasn't true at the time. While disappearances are a logical concern, you also very nearly summoned an unrestrained army of dragons that would have destroyed the city and you with it, so we can also see why they would be after you.

We've actually fought in extra-dimensional wars with demons and monsters... more than one depending on your definition of extra-dimensional, so we can't exactly doubt that claim. Do you have any reason to doubt him? Any reason to believe he's lying to stay in power? Anything outside you can show us that would convince us of his wrong doings?

Garret grabs the smallest clothes he can find and then expresses his doubt regarding the ruling undead and the fact that they’ve seemingly potentially took up with enemies of the state.

Zane postulates that it may already be too late and then asks if the new rules were setup to guard against Manbearpig because they already took care of that.

Wyaar shakes his head to Restlin’s question and asks if they should just buff themselves and try to summon a bunch of things to lure the feds their and make them answer questions.

Sesha snickers at the elvish phrase warming up to the the two “rebels.” She points out over the ring that their purpose for coming here has nothing to do with liberating people and asks what would better serve their goals to work with the authority or against it.

Beri informs the others that he doesn’t think the two that summoned them are on the up and up and then voices his doubts to them asking if they have any proof that can back up their story.

Bosk wonders what happens if they're caught.

The two can’t hear the conversation, but from the way everyone fell silent and the various hmms and other body language they know something is up. Then the question is asked and they look at each other for several moments before thinking.

Jane speaks up first, looking rather uncertain ”So… there are evil dragons? The only one we ever knew was Lady Brightscale, she’s one of the few servants of the Dead King we generally agree with. That’s why we went for dragons, anything else could break out and kill someone.”

James, on the other hand, looks like he’s about to explode from indignation and rage. ”You have no idea what it’s like here. Undead are everywhere and no one is allowed to rest peacefully after death. As long as your body is intact you’re dragged back, forced to dance like a puppet on his string. They took… they took my mother when I was a child. She was a researcher, there was an accident, and the next thing I know she’s not my mom anymore, just some rotting corpse pretending to be her. I’ll never forgive them.” he’s actually crying now, as much as in anger as in sorrow, clenching his fists and glaring at the party even as tears streamed down his face. Jane gives him a soft touch and a comforting look.

Tink keeps up with the telepathy "Well, the undead mage we met detected as highly evil whereas these people don't. Based on that I'm inclined to go along with them for the time being. Working alongside evil undead wouldn't be my first preference"

Tink observes over the rings that the undead mage they met outside the portal detected as evil was James and Jane don’t. She asks Jane what the plan is.

Garret isn’t sure they stepped in it so he listens and keeps watch.

Zane goes back to his normally grumpy self and isn’t too thrilled about the whole undead thing but reflects that saving the Wold makes him more flexible than usual.

Beri says over the rings that if these 2 are not evil and the undead are evil that is good enough for him and then defers to Bosk regarding the undead.

Bosk expresses his views on the Undead as a Grim.

While discussing what to do you remember that not all of the undead outside the portal registered as evil. It was primarily the mage that the other undead seemed to defer to who registered as evil.

Jane goes into her plan at Tink’s request. ”There are others who agree with us about the undead, though they mostly keep their heads down. Including several people in high positions. There’s enough of us to stage a revolt, but none are strong enough to take out the Dead King. We know someone who can get you in to see the Dead King; if you’re strong enough to defeat him then once he’s gone the people will rise up. Without his power his priests will fall and the undead will be destroyed.”

Tink looks to the others "We've really no other leads here. My vote would be to go along with these people. For the time being at least. If any of them detect as evil along the way we deal with it then"

She tries to hide the fact that she's really uncomfortable with the idea of participating in a revolt or overthrowing a leader without more information. She hasn't done anything wrong yet though. Pretty sure she hasn't.

Beri scratches his head as he takes in the details. He's starting to see what the situation is, but still has questions about the king.
What do the stories say about the undead king and how he stopped the extra-dimensional monsters? Does he have extraordinary magical abilities that he overpowered them with? Did he set some sort of trap?

Tink suggests over the rings they throw in with the two for the time being. She tries to hide that she’s uncomfortable going along with the plan without more information.
Wyaar explains they were already sent here to pay a visit to the Dead King and that he doesn’t trust the mage they defeated.
Zane points out they did say they’d visit.
Garret agrees about going to see the king but suggests the others not make promises just yet.
Sesha tells the two young people they’ve met one of the mages that serve the king and then asks if anyone got a name.
Beri asks how the king handled the extradimensional monsters per the stories.
Restlin needs a moment to catch up.

Jane looks thoughtful. We’ll legend and his priests claim he spent years traveling the world doing his best to gather followers and save people. Everything was falling apart and kingdoms were falling left and right. When he grew old and feared his followers would die without him he sought immortality and godhood. He eventually succeeded and brought everyone here to build the city and seal us off from the outside world.”

She shakes her head. ”I’ve never believed it myself. It just seems too… convenient. No one is allowed outside of the city because of the supposed dangers. How did the Dead King succeed when the rest of the world failed? If he’s a god, why does he need servants and guards to monitor and control his population? I think he’s just a tyrant using those stories to keep us trapped her and not questioning his will.”

James wipes the tears from his eyes and calms down while Jane is talking. ”I think he’s just a monster and a control freak who only keeps the living around to breed so he can make more undead. Anyway, we need to get moving. 10 of us wandering the city as a group will draw attention, so I’m thinking we split up, half of you going with each of us, and we meet up at the bar a friend of ours runs. He can get us the papers we need to get in to meet the king. I’ve got disguises for you all picked out.”

(Everyone make a disguise check. While it’s James who’s picked out the outfits, you’re the one who’s going to have to sell it. Add +4 for the help of the two NPC’s, and if you’re trained you can assist the others for another +2. It should only matter if you draw attention to yourselves.)

Tink goes through the outfits to find the thickest ones she can as well as whatever pair of boots makes her look taller. This is going to take some work to pull off.

She finds anything with vertical stripes to make her look taller, adds some layers, and unties her hair.

In the end, it's actually not too bad.

Tink does what she can to aid the others but Garret looks beyond hope for her skills.

Bosk goes through the clothing, trying to determine what might help him to disguise his race and size. He tries on the various outfits and takes the other's advice. Rearranging his tattoos, changing his hair, etc. He even pulls out his disguise kit (10 uses) and passes it around for everyone to use. He then casts Cat's Grace on himself followed by guidance.

Carefully he trims and blends his hair, mixing it with that of the kit. He then tries several pairs of contacts and prosthetic. Still not looking right, he recalls his armor is glamed. Using that he makes it appear and just so, making it as effective as possible.

Do your people ever put anything over their face? A veil or scarf perhaps?

Garret puts on his disguise backwards with his hairy halfling feet sticking out
Wyaar dons a disguise consisting of glasses and a mustache
Beri uses a thousand faces to make himself a disguise and offers to let Garret use his spindle to be in the bag of holding for a bit.
Tink actually manages to make a passable disguise and helps out some of the others, Garret unfortunately is beyond her help.
Sesha tells Garret his disguise is perfect and plans to polymorph the halfling as a last resort
Bosk has a disguise kit that helps and manages to put together a reasonable disguise.

In the end it does take a polymorph spell to make Garret blend in, but soon the party could mostly pass as locals. The two humans look increasingly nervous at the amount of time everything is taking. ”Good enough.” James declares. ”We need to get moving. It’d be best if we spit up, 10 of us will stick out like a sore thumb, but two smaller groups going opposite ways separated by 5 minutes should escape notice. I’ll lead the first group, Jane the second.”

Once everyone’s picked who they’re going with James leads both groups up a ladder through a trap door. They find themselves in the burned out remains of a destroyed house. Enough of the walls are standing that they’re hidden from the crowds outside, which is about as deafening as you’d expect in a large city. More unique is the smell. It smells unlike any city you’ve been in, with the smell of rotting flesh mixed in with the usual oders of sweat, horse dung, and perfume.

Looking out of the gaping holes where doors and windows used to be, the party can see their first glimpse of the place. The crowds are extremely different from what the party sees at home. For one thing about 1 in 4 people are the walking dead. There’s a skeleton playing with a small child, a zombified lizard-man in a uniform (town guard?) watching the crowd from on top of a raised platform clearly put there for him, and a smattering of people just walking by are in various states of decay. Also, it’s crowded. This looks like it should be a residential area, but it’s about as crowded as the marketplace in your average city. The actual market must rival Hook Cities for crowds if this is what your standard neighborhood is like.

As for those buildings, they seem to be built taller than your average building, all of them seem to be three stories, but they’re otherwise the brick and thatch you’d see in the Wold. Lots of black and yellow in the curtains and decorations on the houses can be seen, as well as most entryways having a crowned skull looking down from them. Probably a symbolic gesture so their god can watch over and protect the occupants, kind of like how people will put up symbols of Alemi to ward off disease or Pantheon to ward away thieves. Anyone who looks up finds the sky is pretty much the same as at home, though if they have arcane sight they can see the swirl of protective magics overhead. Someone definitely doesn’t want unexpected visitors judging from the sight. The whole city must be heavily warded.

Tink relays to the others what she sees with her Arcane Sight.

This whole town is very unusual. She trusts that James and Jane will lead the party to where they need to go.

She tries to get a feel for how the people are moving, acting, interacting, speaking and such in case she needs to imitate them later.

It takes a serious effort for Restlin's face to remain neutral when the smell hits him, but he manages. He also sees the overhead swirls. "Wonder how we managed to get through all that," he asks to no one in particular.

DM Mitch 
Tuesday June 25th, 2019 6:36:42 AM
Four of the party choose to go with James, a few with Jane, and the rest go with Jane since there has to be 4 in each group.
James - Garret, Sesha, Tink, Beri
Jane - Wyarr, Zane, Bosk, Restlin

Tink relies to the others what she sees with her arcane sight while trying to get a feel for the people around her. She follows close behind James
Restlin tries not to react when the smell hits him. He also notices the swirling wards overhead and wonders how they made it through.
Garret tries to look as normal as possible, electing to go with James
Sesha reminds the others to stay in contact over the rings while going with James and Garret
Wyaar goes with Jane, casting detect evil on the denizens as he goes
Beri also goes with James.
Bosk is unhappy but goes along with Jane.

Jame’s group sets out first. They take the direct route, or so James says, though they’ll probably get there second since the direct route cuts right through market town. The already crowded streets become even moreso and the party is slowed to a crawl as they move along with them. Somewhere along the way it becomes evident that this city has a remarkably diverse and unusual population. For one thing while Humans, Dwarves, and Elves are represented there are no Halflings or Taurs of any description. Furthermore many ignoble races seem to be reasonably well represented. A group of Orcs debate with a female Gnoll merchant about the price of dinnerware and a Hobgoblin hawker is shouting over the crowd about how his blades are the finest non-magical steel in the city. Many races are totally alien. A large, imposing species of lizardpeople are well represented, as well as some variety of Elf with purple skin. Others equally strange wander the market, both living and undead, making it a truly colorful and unique place even for the widely traveled Iron Dragons.

Suddenly one of the undead guards causes a commotion. He’s grabbed a small human girl and is holding her up out of the crowd. She screams and yells, calling the guard a monster and an undead abomination and other nasty things. He seems rather bored with the insults and says something impossible to hear over the crowd, which ignores the pair after a brief pause to look over. James gets an angry look on his face and starts shoving his way in the guard’s general direction.

Meanwhile on the other side of the city Jane leads her group through the warehouse district. Here at least the party manages to avoid the seemingly every present crowds. Jane explains as they walk that this area is mostly used to store a mixture of emergency supplies so that the city can survive if for some reason the supply of anything is cut off and supplies for larger projects like construction. ”Some of the richest citizens have private storage, but for the most part if it won’t fit in your house you don’t bother with it.”

With less crowds it is less evident as to the full extent of the exotic and unique races that live here, though this group still catches sight of the occasional unusual race here and there. Wyarr doesn’t detect much evil, which is to be expected since most people aren’t strong enough to register. There is the occasional blip from random citizens, slightly more so then you might expect, though that could mean either that more people are evil than average or just that more people are strong enough to register than average. Nothing really shouts at him as “I’m evil and plotting something!”

The buildings are pretty standard, the giant warehouse types you’d find at any busy trade center. They look rather strange being so normal and familiar when everything else is so odd. There are a lot more magic types then you’d expect in the area, either bringing things in, leading work crews, or doing inventory. Lots of robes, spellbooks, and holy symbols can be seen. About halfway down the district the party hears shouting and curses behind them. Looking back they see a large ogre, heavily burdened with some giant sack, charging down the street. People are cursing and leaping out of the way. To Wyarr he measures as slightly evil. He’s definitely in a huge hurry, and he occasionally checks behind him and shuffles the sack here and there trying to make sure nothing falls out.

Jane gives the party a warning look and waves them to the side of the road out of the way of the Ogre.

"James is going to face a guard. He's going to blow this for us" Tink relays over the link.

She tries to discreetly move through the crowd, not directly after James or towards the guard. She's trying to circle a little to come at the guard from a different angle.

Garret tries to grab the back of James' clothes to get him to pause and consider the group. If he manages to get James' attention, Garret glares at him and gestures in the direction they were going, trying to communicate the urgency in getting the group on task. If James continues on his way to the guard, Garret will slip to the side and try and get the others to move with him instead of James.

Restlin steps aside as Jane does. He gets Tink's warning over their link and sighs a bit. He'd learned the hard way that zealotry rarely pans out well in the end.

Unable to immediately assist, he uses his arcane sight to check out the bag the ogre is carrying. He can't see through it, but maybe can see any auras from stuff inside?

Beri makes sure he stays as inconspicuous as possible and wouldn't appear to be a part of whatever foolish Plan James may have.
[i]Guys, can someone ask Jane what to do if James gets himself killed or zombified? I'm going to trust that James knows what he's doing, but my gut says that trust isn't well placed. [i]

Sesha - 102/202. AC 30 
Tuesday June 25th, 2019 10:53:46 PM

Sesha is less interested in James and more interested in what the little girl did wrong. She didn't want to jump into a giant kerfluffle, but children were the purview of Serenbeth and her flock. She wouldn't let the child get zombified.

She gives her allies a quick heads up on the ring. "Hi everyone. Sorry to be a pain, but if it looks like the girl-child is in danger, in any sense of the word, I'm going to intervene."

She wades into the crowd after James, not so much with him, but following the path he makes.

Tink relays over the link what is going on with James as she circles around towards the guards from another avenue.
Zane backs up against the wall to give the ogre a little room.
Garret attempts to get James to focus on their goal
Restlin steps aside as the Ogre passes and lets out a sigh as Tink gives him the report on James. He turns his arcane sight towards the Ogre as it goes.
Wyaar takes a sidestep away from the Ogre keeping his eyes on it and whatever it is carrying as it goes past.
Sesha is less interested in James and more interested in what is going on with the little girl seeing as children are under the purview of Serenbeth. She apologizes to the others in advance over the rings for if the girl is in danger she will step in.

James starts when Garret grabs him, not used to being caught so low down and by such a strong grip. He looks at Garret, then at the guard, seeming to get the message but being torn. The guard starts searching the small child and quickly finds her coin purse. He then finds another… and another… and another. He finds about half a dozen coin purses in total, all of varying designs and fullness, as well as other odds and ins of high value. Clearly a pickpocket plying her trade in the market. Nodding his satisfaction at his suspicions confirmed, he tucks the girl, who still screaming and calling insults at him, under one arm and slowly starts making his way through the crowd, probably on his way to the guardhouse to book her.

James, lets them go, clearly still upset at the undead manhandling her but not prepared to start a scene when the guy was just doing his job.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, things are returning to normal now the Ogre has passed. Various people are grumbling about it, but that’s about it. Restlin did detect a hint of magic from the sack as it passed. As for the Ogre, it quickly moves out of sight, though as they continue down the avenue they see it again, now busily unloading the pack while an undead elven sorceress examines some of the objects. They’re large, heavy disks. She says a short phrase and it starts to hum softly, floating about a foot off the ground. ”Excellent work Thok. I can’t believe I forgot to bring these along, now we can load up properly.” The Ogre, apparently named Thok, seems pleased that she’s pleased. ”Thok always happy to help mistress.” he says, and as the party moves past they can see the woman and her ogre start loading up the disks with various heavy looking objects from the warehouse.

"If she looks in danger I'll have your back 100%, Sesha. Assuming you beat me to him.. " It's a pity you can't express a 'grin' via telepathy.

Restlin watches, vaguely aware that his girlfriend might be about to blow their cover. She wasn't one to let a girl get punished too harshly for a little pickpocketing. He wondered how Tink would react.

He tries to identify the discs as standard floating discs.

Spellcraft: 56

"That's a lot of floating discs. Wonder what they're for? Probably not worth following to find out, but it's curious." He looks to Jane, waiting to see if this is something they should concern themselves with, or if they should keep moving.

Given the efficiency of the guard and the fact he didn't seem to be harming the child, Sesha lets the matter rest.

"Thanks Tink. Again, I don't think this dystopia is as bad off as it sounds. I wonder if James and Jane are natives to this place? If not, I could see all the undead as jarring. All things being equal, there's a bustling economy, a seemingly happy mortal population NOT cowering in fear, social structure, and everything else that our own world seems to have."

There's a pause.

"I agree. Lets keep moving."

So... it turns out that their guard are far more responsible and kind hearted than those in Hook City. In fact, when this is all done remind me to suggest to the inspector that he send a few groups of guards here for training.

Tink tells Sesha she has her back, then is relieved when James has seen reason and that the girl was a pickpocket caught out.
Zane continues to follow along not trying to draw attention to himself.
Restlin watches, vaguely aware his girlfriend might blow their cover before taking an interest in the floating disks as he wonders what they are for
Garret gestures for James to keep moving encouraging him to blend in
Sesha lets the matter rest given the efficiency of the guard. She thanks Tink for the potential assist then makes an observation about the world’s social structure before also assenting to keep moving.
Wyaar admonishes the others to focus on the task at hand
Beri suggests that the guards here may be friendlier than the Hook City guards and suggests the others remind him to tell Auslander to send some guards here for training. He is also back to not trusting James.
Bosk keeps Jane informed as to what’s happening across town.

James manages to get refocused and resume moving. On the other end Restlin manages to satisfy his curiosity about the disks as they move past. The undead and the Ogre are loading them up with an impressive amount of objects and they seem to follow her commands, including following her en mass. A single disk can’t hold as much as an Ogre, but she has a dozen which is about as good as 4 or 5 large carts.

The party makes it the rest of the way towards their destination without further incident. They seem to be heading towards a bar, though like most of the buildings here it’s several stories and only the first seems to be part of the bar. Jane’s group arrives first as predicted, and she leads the party to sit in a quiet corner in the back to wait for the others. The place is pretty quiet at the moment, it’s still the middle of the day. A few patrons at the bar, a small group enjoying lunch. Notably no one here is undead. The barman is a young elf woman with a cheery disposition.

Jame’s group arrives about 10 minutes later. He goes straight to the barwoman asking, ”Is your father home?”

She smiles at him mischievously. ”Oooh you’ve been getting into trouble. I’ll go tell him your hear, I’m sure he’ll want to tell you off himself.” She heads to the back. James looks over to the party and waves at them to come along, an expression on his face like when a small child knows he’s done wrong and is about to get a tongue lashing for it.

A fat, middle aged elf sticks his head out from a back room, catches sight at James, and scowls, waving them to the back. They enter a smallish office, everyone barely fits, and as soon as the door is closed behind them the Elf starts into James and Jane. ”Now what fool nonsense have you two gotten up to now?!? We just got word the Feds are looking for you for summoning something. What’re you trying to do, burn the town down?!? And who are these people?” He eyes the party and quickly notices something is off about them. His scowl growls deeper. ”What are these people? If you brought some damn fool summoned monsters into my inn you’re going right back out on your ear, I’m not harboring some monster you dredged up from who knows where.”

James and Jane are both looking at their feet, shuffling them a little and seeming to be at a loss for words.

"I'm hardly a monster. Bosk and Zane maybe, but not me. Before you lay into those two too much, we were on our way to your world anyway. James and Jane here just interrupted our landing." He changes his tone to a more serious one. "They're really not qualified to do what they did. They are extremely lucky they got us."

He offers a hand. "Restlin the Mendicant of the Iron Dragons. We didn't come here to save anyone, but we tend to end up near people who need help. Gotta say, though, the undead here seem pretty well behaved and people don't seem too out of sorts. We're not really convinced we should be sticking our noses into any of this."

Garret wanders around the bar and looks to see if there's any "spare" food lying around. He tries to grab a bite to eat if he thinks no one will notice (sleight of hand: 31) before entering the room. When the fat guy starts yelling at James, he just stands there and eats. When Restlin speaks and the entire room gets quite, Garret almost bows to him and lets him introduce the rest.

Tink crosses her arms, resolved to let James and Jane get themselves out of this
Restlin introduces himself and the Iron Dragons diplomatically. He explains what happened, why they came and what they observed.
Garret looks for some food and takes the time to stealthily grab some while the barman is laying into James and Jane.
Zane looks out from under his hood and thinks about saying something to Restlin
Beri asks the barman if he was aware of what James and Jane were trying to do and then asks him for his thoughts on the situation
Wyarr detects evil on efldad and doesn’t detect anything.
Sesha informs the barman they are from the Wold
Bosk remains silent to try to draw less attention

The elf squints suspiciously as the party talks to him. James does seem slightly offended at Beri’s comment.

”You’re dragons from the world and you were expected? That doesn’t do anything to raise my confidence. Summoning is outlawed for a reason. I’m not old enough to have seen it myself but my parents told me stories. Demons and things from beyond terrible to behold that drove the world mad and consumed it. Nothing summonable these days is likely to be friendly and half of them can drive you mad just by looking at them. It was bad enough that my family, devout followers of Sahanine, were willing to follow an undead here to survive.”

Though none of you have ever heard of this god you get the feeling that she has similar feelings towards undead as Gargul from his expression and tone of voice.

Jane speaks up. ”We were careful sir. We made sure to summon something good, dragons like Lady Brightscale. We had wards up and everything, but the Fed came and we had to flee. They can take down the Dead King for us!”

The elf facepalms. ”Dragons aren’t all as nice as Brightscale Jane. Half of them were as bad as the demons and the other half meant well but were just as likely to eat you for trespassing as help.” He looks over the party again, then leans back, considering. ”Still you haven’t driven me mad yet nor have you tried to burn down the town. Do you really think you have the power to slay a god?”

Restlin takes a long moment to ponder the irony of that question.

"I sure hope so, because we might have to do it back home soon. It's not something we'd get ourselves into without an amazingly good reason, which we've yet to receive."

He looks to the two that summoned them. "You should listen to him, by the way. This dude gets how dangerous summoning can be if you get it wrong."

The druid thinks back, trying to remember if anyone they defeated had officially been a god.
We finished off the consumer of countless worlds and their gods, though I know not whether he was a god in his own right. We've fought an entire army of mutated abominations that literally lived within a monster bigger than any city our world has ever known, foes so powerful that they were able to block out the power of the gods themselves.

Though, from what I understand the question isn't whether we can defeat a god. It's whether the king truly is a god and the stories about him truth or rumor.

"Far more important to whether or not we CAN defeat him is whether or not we SHOULD defeat him." She thinks a minute, then adds. "You seem to be a reasonable sort. So how about it. Is there a reason to depose the King of this place? Is he a fair enough ruler?"

"We have been betrayed, double-crossed and hoodwinked so many times that we don't take anything on face value any more." Tink pauses for a moment "Come to think of it, who was the last person we met that didn't end up turning on us?"

If the target is deliberately lying or trying to mislead the justicar, the symbol glows with a pure white light. If the target is telling the truth, or wins the sense motive check, or unknowingly tells a lie, the symbol stays dark."

ATTN Iron Dragons: Time to Talk Retirement

Hey good people!

As you've probably figured out, we're getting close to the end. Your DMs have told me that we will likely finish up sometime in the fall. It might last a bit longer than that, but we'll see and no we're not in a hurry. As your friendly ACDMs, your DMs, and I are busy creatures, we want to get to work on your retirement benefits, so to speak.

There are several things to talk about. The first of these is your restart game. We have set up the Scarlet Tapestry for this purpose. We will use this board for all discussions about retirement. We want you posting there daily and keeping up. No, we're not going to have Sheriff Zach register posts. :) However, if you choose not to post, you are giving up your voice.

The first item is to decide where we'd like the new game to be geographically and any "themes" we we are interested in. To this end, your ACDMs, DMs, and myself have prepared a list of 8 locations for you to choose from. For more info on the whys and wherefores of all this, make your way to the Scarlet Tapestry. Cayzle has already seen to it that everyone has permissions. Yes things there have already been prepared for you.

So grab a snack and beverage, turn on some music, and head over there to read, ponder, and post initial thoughts, questions, etc.

I'll be hanging out in the Scarlet Tap today [well actually I'm going back to bed, I woke up to let the dogs out for a few minutes and thought this was as good a time as any to send this email] ....but I will leave the Scarlet Tapestry open today in a tab and will monitor it through the day to get us off to a good start. :)

No need to reply to this email unless you want to throw on a "Aww Maan" or "Yippee" as we'll continue things there! See ya there!

CDM Jerry

Restlin takes a moment to ponder the irony of the question regarding the irony of the question regarding taking out a God. He answers he hopes they are up to the task seeing they might have to do so once they get back home but he hasn’t seen evidence yet it is necessary here.
Garret continues to eat his food and looks around innocently when the elf says consumed. When they start talking about slaying a God he interrupts the conversation with a burp.
Beri tries to remember if anyone they’ve beaten before was actually a God and relates some of the things they’ve dealt with in the past. He asks if the Dead King is actually a God and if the stories about him are true.
Sesha emphasizes that whether they should defeat the dead king is more important than if they can. She then asks the elf if there is a reason they should depose the king of this place
Tink points out they have been double crossed, betrayed and hoodwinked too many times and then asks who the last person was that didn’t turn on them.
Zane says Doc.
Restlin adds Auslander to the list.
Bosk stays quiet.

”Fair enough.” the elf says. ”You’re new here and have no reason to trust us. I admit my reasons for wanting the Dead King gone are purely religious. I believe that the undead are an abomination that should not exist. People that die should be allowed to move on to the afterlife, not have their souls trapped in a rotting corpse for the rest of eternity. We’ve been stable and secure for hundreds of years and I think it’s high time for a change in command and for those trapped souls to be released to the hereafter.”

James looks rather… petulant that you might not help. ”I’ve already told you why I want him gone. Basically I agree with Aeson here, the undead are monsters that need to go. I think he’s controlling them all like puppets and they’re just pretending to be normal.” Aeson must be the name of the elf.

Jane is more calm about it, like this is just a thought experiment with a teacher. ”I have no real feelings either way about the undead personally, though I think the other two make good points about them. I’ve been helping them because I suspect we’re being lied to and controlled by the Dead King. There are too many inconsistencies with the official story about why we have to stay in the city and what dangers are out there. Supposedly we’re constantly under siege, but I’ve never seen any signs of it. Hundreds of years ago maybe he was needed, but now I think he’s just holding onto power.”

Aeson finishes their pitch. ”Now we could stand here and chat about this for the next decade, but like you said there’s no reason you should trust our opinion and I doubt you want to stay here for a few months to learn all about our society here. I have a plan that will get you in to meet him. With all of your gear, I might add. You can either work with us, meet him yourself, and come to your own conclusions, or you can throw yourself on the mercy of the Feds, who are already hunting you as summoned monsters and will likely execute you before you ever see him. Your choice.”

Tink is pretty certain everyone is telling the truth, though she’s also pretty sure Aeson hopes that even if the party disagrees with his feelings on undead they’ll screw up the meeting with the Dead King and end up in a fight anyway.

"we have already fought some of the Dead Kong's minions and defeated them. while they were not puppets as far as I could tell, they certainly were not on the side of good. I do not think we can promise to overthrow him, but we do need to meet with him and given who he works with and what he does I do not expect that meeting to go well." Wyaar chimes in.

Tink isn't liking the tone of this guy. "Hunting us as summoned monsters because your friends illegally brought us here. The lawful thing would seem to be to hand ourselves over to the authorities and provide them with information to aid them capture the criminals who abducted us."

Jane seems logical and makes some good points. Conspiracies are interesting.

"Ok Jane. What next? What's the plan?" she asks.

Sesha finds the whole situation a bit funny.

"I sort of feel for you James and Jane. You summoned a group of heroes that are like me, just close enough to neutral that we really don't see the big deal with undead who aren't rampaging around. I mean, I have a few that answer to me personally...and Tink here, lawful enough that unless horrors are being commited against the populace she's going to struggle to find a reason to overthrow the local government."

She stretches her arms and wriggles her shoulders.

"I suppose what you need is either some good old fashioned chaotic hero juice, or Bosk here to get up and righteous about blotting out the undead stain on the land. Otherwise there's just no promises."

"I practically run on chaotic hero juice, love.

"Anyway, we were invited here by an emissary of this king after we accepted their surrender, and if we're now fugitives for being summoned I don't think it's him we should be angry at. On the one hand, they may be right and we MAY be turning our backs on innocent people who need our help. On the other, Kevintar's still messing stuff up back home.

"Maybe we start to sort this out by hearing this dude's plan..." Restlin indicates he's at least ready to hear it out.

Beri nods as he gets some confirmation that this isn't just a fringe lunatic that summoned them, even if he still doesn't appear to be the most reliable person.
Considering we already had an invitation from the king, is there a specific advantage to your route? What would we expect to happen if we did try to use the invitation we previously received? Considering the closed in nature of this kingdom, I assume we'd either get the royal treatment or we'd find a lot of heavily armed men giving us the coldest reception imaginable. In my experience rulers don't have much use for the multitude of options between the two extremes, but that may be unique to our world.

By the way, could you please stop referring to us as monsters? It's a little weird considering we're the same race.

Bosk shrugs. I am against the understanding in all their forms. They are a mockery of life and go against the gods will. However, I must admit that the concept of other places and dimensions confuses me. Do our rule and gods have any jurisdiction here? Do they have their own gods? Should they be following ours, and have simply shut them out or ignored them? I am at a loss... But I still dispise the undead on principle

DM Mitch 
Tuesday July 2nd, 2019 7:25:10 AM
Wyaar explains that they have previously fought the dead king’s minions and won and that they didn’t seem like puppets. He explains they were invited back by the minions they defeated and they do not expect the meeting to go well.
Tink admonishes Aeson as them being hunted as summoned creatures is due to his friends and the lawful thing to do would be to turn themselves in and aid the authorities but she is curious with respect to Jane’s conspiracy theory so she asks the girl what the plan is.
Garret asks why they always get stuck in the middle of things and hopes that the Dead King doesn’t prejudge them for hanging with these folks.
Sesha finds the whole situation amusing and explains that they are most likely going to have difficulty overthrowing a government as long as the populace is not in immediate danger unless they can rile Bosk up enough about the undead.
Restlin explains he practically runs on chaos juice and points out that they are torn between not helping potentially people here who need it and not being able to intervene with whatever is going on back home. He points out the least they could do is hear Aeson’s plan.
Beri asks if there would be an advantage to going Aesom’s route considering they already have an invite to see the king. He also wonders if they’ll be given a warm reception or a cold one and lastly asks that they stop being referred to as summoned monsters.
Bosk share’s his own feelings on undead

Jane hesitates when she’s asked to give the plan and she looks over at Aeson. The elf leans back and says, ”I’ve managed to… acquire paperwork and ID that will let you pass as an elite Fed squad. The type of elite that’s given free reign and the authority to request an audience with the king at a moments notice if they’ve discovered enough of a threat.”

Jane picks it up from there. ”With the feds having figured out we did the summoning you could easily pass yourself off as a group of elites that managed to track us down. You can take us straight to the king and no one will question it. Everyone will just assume you got something important out of us that the king needs to know.”

"That does tick all the boxes," adds Restlin. Were these folks so zealous that they were willing to put their lives...no, souls...on the line in the hope that some strangers from another dimension would help them? He keeps coming back to the fact that the Iron Dragons were invited here by those undead who surrendered, but they were also evil, so who knows if they could be trusted either.

"Well, if we're going to throw our potential support behind one of two parties, I think the fact that these folks aren't evil OR undead is a big plus in their favor. I'm fine with their plan."

Garret looks around the room and says over the rings, "Indeed, worst case we get to the king and he asks about our fake passes. If he remembers us, he probably won't care very much about something so minor. However, I don't see a way that these folk get out of this unscathed."

You notice how they didn't answer our questions about what would happen if we entered per our actual invitation. This may be the best way to go if we are sure the King is evil, but probably a horrible idea if this is more of a political revolution than an actual evil king... didn't the overseer mention one realm with a conflict of the soul or something like that? I'm leaning towards the king being evil, but we've just had the devourer deceive us about being on our side, and we know James is a hothead with a grudge against authority from our runin on the way here, so I'm going to take anything he says with a grain of salt..

OOC: sorry forgot about the Scarlet tap, I got side tracked with the Silk tap... too much going on at once.
Also, the overseer is Beri's thoughts, not an actual concern.

Tink says she likes Jane’s plan and she figures if things go sideways they could always turn the criminals in even if it wouldn’t be her first choice.
Restlin says the plan does tick all the boxes and tries to get a feel for the desperation level of the folks they’ve fallen in with. He points out he does like the fact that they aren’t evil or undead over the rings.
Garret agrees and points out that worst case scenario if the king remembers them from their encounter with his servant outside the portal he probably won’t care about the fake passes. He doesn’t think James and Jane will be so lucky.
Zane shrugs and stays prepared in case it all goes wrong
Beri points out their lack of acknowledgement of what would happen if they entered on their own invitation. He says it might not be bad if the king is evil but if this is some sort of political revolution and the king isn’t evil it might not be a good idea. He points out he’s leaning towards the king being evil but they did just face a devourer who tried to betray them and James is a hothead.

With the party mostly agreed to the plan preparations are quickly made. They’re advised to discard their disguises and just go as themselves with the badge on their chest (a shield shape with the image of a skull and text above and below it). ”The Feds are an eclectic bunch and many of them are the last of their species. If you’re in disguise it’s suspicious, flaunt it and your badge and no one will bat an eye.” Aeson says. Jane and James put on some trick manacles, ones that restrain them, but can be released with a specific gesture. Soon the party is ready to head out.

The trip to the castle is pretty quick. People seem to know and respect your badges; they give the group respectful distance so that it’s easier to weave through the crowds. The castle itself is embedded in the wall that surrounds the city. It’s black stone turrets loom over the west end of the city, black banners covering one side and gold on the other.

They reach the gatehouse, a study, squat building of thick stone with murder holes and other defenses. A pair of castle guards stand there, one undead one not, and an Undead woman is talking to what seems to be the guard captain. She glows with an inner light that pours out of the holes in her rotting flesh, golden and pure, and her silver armor is adorned with the skull insignia of the Dead King. She halts her conversation and eyes the party in a way very familiar from their long association with Wyarr; she’s casting detect evil on them. ”Yes?” she enquiries pleasantly.

A holy undead? An undead paladin? This was too much. Restlin takes a moment to make peace with the fact that there's no sure thing here. For a moment, he very seriously considers just telling this thing the whole, unblemished truth.

...then he thinks on it for more than a moment. He's not convinced it's a bad idea.

"Tink, are we seeing this thing right? Any illusion trickery going on, or is this an undead paladin of sorts? I don't feel ok lying to a paladin unless it's Wyarr."

With her Mind Blank spell up, Tink won't detect as evil (or anything for that matter).

"Hard to say, Restlin. She certainly looks real"

With everyone just looking at each other, Tink speaks up: "We're here to see the King. He has invited us for an audience"

Tink isn't ready to sell-out Jane just yet. If they can get through with just the invite, great. If they need to hand over the 'prisoners', well, let's cross that bridge when we come to it.

Garret is wary when they start out, but eventually starts holding it out proudly wondering if people now respect or fear the badge. He remains silent later while others do the talking.
Restlin is a little confused by what is going on. He asks Tink if he’s seeing things clearly. He’s surprised by an undead paladin and starts to feel uncomfortable about lying to a paladin other than Wyaar.
Wyaar returns the favor making a show of it.
Zane raises an eyebrow as he goes along with the others
Beri waits for someone else to speak up, suggesting one of the silver-tongues let the being know they captured the unlicensed summoners.
Tink replies to Restlin that it is hard to say and that she certainly looks real. She replies to the paladin seeming being that they are here to see the king, having been invited for an audience. She decides she isn’t ready to sell out Jane just yet if they don’t need to turn over the prisoners to advance further she won’t.
Bosk stays quiet acting the role of muscle

As far as the party can tell she is the real deal. To those who can see magic she clearly has several effects active and a ton of magical gear, but none of it is of the illusion subschool so it isn’t someone pretending to be undead. Besides it would seem odd for someone to pretend unless they knew someone was coming they needed to fool.

At Tink’s statement the undead woman nods, then she notes the pair of “prisoners” in the back. ”I see you caught them. She walks over and looks at James, who glares definitely. James I understand how you feel. What happened to you and your mother was a tragedy, but when you endanger yourself and the entire city around you you’ve gone to far. There have to be consequences. I’ll do my best for you both, but it’s up to our King now.” she looks very sad about the whole situation. James looks like she punched him in the gut.

WIth a sigh, she waves to the guard captain who opens the gate. ”Come, I’ll escort you all to the King. Did you find what they summoned? I”m not sure if I should be relieved or worried that nothing’s caught fire yet, they either summoned something harmless or something cunning enough to lay low and be far more trouble later.”

Tink asks over the rings if they should come clean as she is starting to trust James even less. She also asks the paladin why James was considered a fugitive.
Wyaar plays it cool, waiting for the audience.
Restlin ponders the chances the paladin is an unwitting pawn of the king and figures it to be unlikely deferring to Tink.
Garret suggests they don’t come clean just yet and should instead wait to get to the king.
Sehsa also begins to worry about all these things connected to James. While she understands revenge she doesn’t want him to interfere with their mission.
Zane is ready to grab James should it prove necessary.
Beri suggests the paladin should feel relieved as James isn’t the type to hesitate or lay low and he’d probably try to wreak havoc with whatever he summoned as soon as he could.

Tink’s question makes the paladin look confused, then suspicious. ”You told me that the king was expecting them.” she points out. She looks over the party again, then nods slowly to herself. Perception 25 Highlight to display spoiler: {”Dragons…” she mutters to herself. “They must have been intercepted.”}

Out loud she says ”Come, the king is expecting us, let us stop dawdling here.” She leads the group inside. James and Jane apparently didn’t catch what she muttered, but they look nervous about going in.

Inside the place is pretty much like any other castle you’ve been in. Stone walls with lots of carpets and banners to give the rooms a little warmth. The occasional portrait or suit of armor. The banners show the Dead King’s sigil, A black banner with a white Skull on it, topped by a flaming candle. The skull has a circle of purple lines indicating a shadowy radiance while the candle has golden lines of light coming out if it.. The main colors of the offshooting hallways are black and purple on the left, yellow and gold on the right. It kind of looks like the entire castle is divided into two halves, one for darkness, one for light.

As you walk the Paladin introduces herself. ”My name is Uthras Voidbane. I’ve served the Dead King for many centuries as his loyal right hand. I’m sure you have many questions about us and our realm; please ask anything you want and I’ll do my best to answer.”

"It seems you may have misheard me. I said the king was expecting us, not James. That James is - in your words - a danger to himself and the entire city, and that his fate is in the hands of the king has made me curious. So... what's his story?"

Perception is autopass.

Restlin's pretty sure the jig is up at this point, and is perfectly fine with that. "Kinda curious about it myself," he adds to Tink's question. "Everybody we've met so far thinks 'the other' is bad news. Think's it's about time we stopped draggin' this out."

Tink tells the paladin she was misheard and points out the king was expecting them not James. She points out that the paladin said James was a danger to himself and the city and asks what his story is.
Restlin says he is tired of draggin’ this out and figures the jig is up at this point. He wants to get to the bottom of why everyone thinks the other is bad news.
Wyaar asks the undead paladin more about herself, explaining that where they come from those don’t exist and asks if she serves a higher power than the king
Zane cracks his shoulders and loosens his neck expecting combat.
Garret looks from Zane to Tink to Uthras. He knows something is about to go down. His stomach rumbles.
Beri asks the others if they just decided to give up all pretences over the ring while he prepares a greater dispel magic in case things go sideways.
Bosk is impressed with Tink’s response, the others not so much. He at least keeps up pretences and guards the prisoners.
Restlin points out over the rings that Uthras seems to have put 2 and 2 together and he’d rather get ahead of this thing.

James glares at Tink and Uthras as they talk about him. Uthras promised though so she tells the story. ”James’ mother was a researcher for the Dead King. She performed magical experiments, and one day things went very wrong and she died. I believe James was only 5 or 6 at the time. We brought her back, but he refused to recognize her as his mother. He was a small child and his mom left one day only to return the next as a walking corpse. It didn’t matter that she was still the same in mind, that she still loved him and wanted to care for him. It tore her up inside, but she sent him to live with her brother. They still don’t talk, he refuses to speak with her and he is outspoken about his hatred of all undead. As long as it was just words it was fine, but we detected an illegal summoning and found evidence connecting him to a plot to summon something powerful enough to kill the king. If he hadn’t got you who knows how many corpses would be piled up by now.”

James looks like he wants to try to tear Uthras apart with his bare hands, but he controls himself and just glares some more. Uthras just looks sad.

Uthras takes several moments to think about Wyarr’s question. ”Well there’s a short simple answer, and then there’s the longer one that gives more context. The short answer is that here being undead is just another state of being. It’s like being… an orc or an elf. It doesn’t define who you are and people of all types get raised. There are other undead paladins, as well as housewives, craftsmen, guards, and just about any other profession you could think of. I’m the strongest paladin here, undead or otherwise, but there are others and I have a half dozen trainee’s as well, some undead some not. All of us serve the Dead King.”

“The longer answer requires a bit of history. Before this city, before the Dead King the world was filled with millions of people and a half dozen pantheons. It had troubles, but nothing world ending. Things slowly got worse though. Beings from outside of our reality started trying to get in, various evil people started plots, and everything started happening at once. Cities fell, then nations, then continents. Demons and Devils ran amok, and worse things started spreading, things that destroyed mind and body if you just looked at them. More and more land was outright destroyed or rendered uninhabitable. The gods themselves started to fall, entire pantheons destroyed.

The Dead King rose to power towards the end, before the last few bastions of civilization fell. He gathered as much power and as many survivors as he could while keeping a low profile. He unlocked the secrets of undeath and used them to insure enough of us survived to defend ourselves. Without the ability to raise dead warriors to protect their loved ones again and again we never would have survived. I’ve died at least… 23 times in his service, each time saving a least a dozen others in exchange. Eventually the various evils destroyed everything and each other, but we’ve managed to save thousands of lives and make a refuge here. There’s nothing left outside of this city except dead land and remnants of the great evils. Of course I'm condensing a lot, it all took hundreds and hundreds of years.

She describes the events as one might describe the events of the end of a previous age; ancient history that is important but has no real emotional connection to her. James and Jane look like they’ve heard it a thousand times and are bored.

”I don’t think young people realize how precarious we are here. If James hadn’t gotten you he likely would have gotten a demon or a twisted one. If we were lucky he would have just died and it would have killed a few people before we got it. If we were unlucky it would have either enslaved him and started a demonic cult or it would have started twisting everyone around it into faceless horrors and started a small war. The entire city could fall because of one moron summoning something beyond their power.”

Sense motive: 45 - Does Uthras seem to be telling the truth?

I'm assuming she is. Ignore the following if she's not.

***

"I don't think she's lying. If she's not, then the Dead King probably is a god, or at least as powerful as one. I know gods don't fit into the same good and evil roles we mortals do, but it sounds like it provides divine power to a number of good-aligned paladins.

She's right about James' summoning, too. "

Restlin's not foolish enough to think he's got the whole story figured out, but he has yet to see anything that suggests this world needs saving. Until he does, he reminds himself they're here for the pieces they need to break Kevintar's seal.

He does wonder if maybe the rest of the world could use some help. He's real interested in maybe peeking outside the city.

Sesha thinks about the situation. When the time came, and she was ready to retire, she might like to return here and study. Necromancy had always been an acute interest of hers, but witches were pretty terrible at it.

She felt like it could be done, in a way, that was the product of its intent, and not so evil in act that intention was irrelevant. This place might be the key to that.

"How? How is it done in a way that doesn't leave the revived a mindless automaton? Why not just use regular ressurection magic to revive as a living being? I don't mean to be rude, I'm asking for knowledge. Not to lead down a path."

Garret smiles and nods at the story about the past. He relaxes a little, seeing that Uthras hasn't called down the guards. He waits patiently to go and see the king so they can request the aid they seek. He idly wonders about what will happen to James, but figures James really did risk a lot of other people's lives, so he's going to have to deal with the consequences of his own actions.

If the gods themselves started to fall, I wonder if something happened to this realms god of the dead during that time, whether they had a change of heart on this matter, or a new power entirely is in charge. It's possible that such a spell is allowed here simply because the power in charge of the dead has deemed acceptable either because they have different views, or because the King himself found favor with he new power. Or perhaps fallen gods have left nobody in charge of the lost souls, so the king is now able to succeed in such attempts where others were blocked... of course, this is all idle speculation. It's possible that this world simply has always had different rules than ours and the king just was the first to unlock the magical secrets that made it possible or to have the sheer power required to make is happen. I would love to know the truth, but I don't doubt the details are a highly guarded secret. After all, they would be on our world.

Bosk nods in agreement. Our world has undergone its own changes over the aeons, however I suspect there is something in our nature that causes corruption in undeath. My personal theory is that it is because beings of our realm are typically at least dual natured. For those of other realms, whom we call outsiders, soul and body form one unit. When an outsider is slain, no soul is set loose. They remain whole. When we die the soul is severed from our body and sent to the Shadowlands. Our undead must fracture their essence to bind part of the soul to their body or are animated instead by a supernatural force. We do not come back whole unless Gargul intervenes or allows it. Otherwise we are broken, incomplete, and corrupted.

There are other layers to or bring as well that can be stripped away or added to in rare circumstances. That is how we have two outsiders in our party, yet that is only possible because the gods allow it, and goes beyond the scope of the conversation. I do not know they outsiders as we define them, but it has been clear since our first encounter that their undead are not the same as ours.

Restlin says he doesn’t think Uthras is lying and that she is right about James’s summoning. He reminds himself why he is here and doesn’t think he’s seen anything suggesting the city needs changing. He would like to see outside the city at some point.
Sesha is real curious about the necromancy of this world and thinks maybe she’ll return when she retires. She asks how the corpse is not left a mindless automaton and why is resurrection magic simply not used.
Garret smiles and nods at the story. He starts to relax a little considering the guards haven’t been called. He wonders what will happen to James.
Zane remembers on edge as it is obvious their cover is blown. While Uthras appears to be an undead paladin not everything is how it seems.
Wyaar too is wary. Uthras is a paladin so he doesn’t fill anyone with arrows or anything
Beri wonders if the Powers driving this realm are absent or if they tacitly approve of the necromancy being used. He points out the rules might just be different here.
Restlin gives Beri credit for his hunch.
Tink is happy they’ve turned James over to the proper authorities.
Bosk offers his speculation about how undead work in their world and stipulates it has something to do with the dual nature of beings from the Wold having both a soul and a body. He points out that in their world one can only come back if Gargul allows it or what comes back is broken in some way. He also briefly touches that the Gods do allow variations to happen as their party has 2 outsiders

Uthras answers Sesha, “At first we did bring people back among the living but the problem was they always came back weakened from the experience and we only had a finite supply of diamonds to use to bring people back without penalty. Furthermore they would still eventually die of old age or other natural causes and then we couldn’t bring them back at all. Even if we tried to bring them back through the gift of unlife what would return would be mindless automaton you previously described. We were essentially at war with the forces tearing this world apart and it was more efficient to just bring folks back as undead who were stronger than a living person anyway. The Dead King’s personal guard have died hundreds of times; with true resurrection they would have been reduced to husks. Also an interesting side effect was noticed from those who died, came back as an undead, died again as an undead and were brought back additional times. No matter how much time had passed or how many times someone died, they retained their faculties when they were reanimated through the gift of unlife if they started out blessed by it in the first place.”

She sighs. ”Also resurrection was granted by the old gods who fell. Since the last god of the dead fell something has become… broken and true resurrection no longer works. We can still bring back fresh, mostly intact corpses, but severe damage like what Jame’s mother had makes it impossible. It’s a huge problem, we barely have enough people to keep our population stable, and they’re of so many races it’s only through shapeshifting magic that we prevent inbreeding and stave off birth defects.”

The party arrives at a pair of iron double doors. Sturdily built and heavily enchanted, it is flanked by what seems to be two statues of skeletal armored figures. Uthras addresses one of them, ”We’re here to see the king. We have the summoners and the guests he was expecting.” The figure nods and reaches out to pull open the door; it’s an undead that was just holding unnaturally still.

The king’s throne room is surprisingly simple. Lit by a dozen brasiers it’s a large room, slightly dim, with a raised area upon which sits the throne. None of the creature comforts like carpeting or banners sit in here, giving it a grey, lifeless feel. It doesn’t help that about 20 undead guards stand at perfect, unmoving attention all along the walls. Sitting on the throne is the Dead King himself. He looks like an ancient corpse you might find in an old tomb, skeletal with plain armor and faded cloth, his bare skull topped by a crown.

The moment the doors close behind you James escapes from his trick cuffs, pulls a dagger from somewhere, and yells ”DEATH TO THE KING!” before starting a charge. Uthras trips him after two steps and pins him to the ground, her expression clearly saying Wow, what an idiot.

An awkward silence fills the room. Jane looks very pale.

In theory he could become the Gargul of this realm, and we could probably get his followers to come over as well providing an influx of new generic material. Lastly, Bosk would like to learn this unlife spell.

He's got questions, he's always got questions, but there's a lot to be learned right this moment from shutting up and paying attention. So, that's what he does.

Bosk takes a second to peer into the Shadow realm and tries to determine if it is connected to this location, or if it has its own realm for the undead.

We apologize for James actions, we were unaware of his past and how he would act. Please tell us about what you know about the changes in the cycle of life your people have experienced. Do you know when or how it came to be that the resurrection spell stopped working? What caused the death of the old gods, and what happens to your spirits if you die now that there is not a god of life and death? I ask because, if you are interested, we might be able to help you in this matter. It is a long story, but recently our realm found itself with a second god of life and death that is looking for a role to fill, seeing as the first god long since filled that role. We very well might be able to convince him to restore the cycle of death and rebirth here, if you are interested. He also has a number of followers who might help to increase the population and prevent the birth defects we heard about earlier.

Lastly, could you please teach me the spell you use to bring the dead back? I am very interested to learn how it works.

Wyaar frowns at James and then detects evil on the Undead King. He is interested to finally see how the king deals with dissidents. He can detect no evil in the room.
Garret tries to stifle a giggle at James’s actions before looking around for the caster they dealt with in the portal room
Restlin is curious to see how the king treats James and Uthras for walking James into the throne room without checking the cuffs. He’s got questions but for right now he’s ok observing.
Tink comments that the insanity defense is coming along just fine. She’d normally pull a real set of manacles from her kit but she thinks it best to not make sudden movements.
Beri asks if they should tell James the flaw in his plan, explaining that the dead king has come back before
Zane plants his left foot on James back.
Bosk makes a pitch about Kevintaur and him coming to this place.

As various people comment on James’ intelligence the corpse on the throne doesn’t move. Beri makes his pitch and there silence for a few moments. Then pinpricks of light appear in the empty sockets of the corpse and the party feels a great presence fills the room. It’s like being in the room with Gargul, or that giant corrupt god in the Sargrass. Something very much more powerful than anyone here is now present and paying attention.

”Ah, our otherworldly guests have arrived. Be welcome strangers.” his voice is deep and hissing, like wind forced through a small opening. He doesn’t move while speaking; only the lights of his eyes indicate his corpse is active. ”I apologize for the poor welcome. We did not expect you to be intercepted, but you have done us a great service in preventing something worse from being summoned and moving through the city without harming anyone. I’m sure these two tried to convince you how terrible I was and that the Undead should be destroyed.”

There’s a pause and you get the feeling of thoughtful consideration. ”You’re offer is interesting Bosk Deox, but before we can discuss it we must deal with your two young friends here.” you feel a hint of anger enter the room. The Dead King seems to be projecting his emotions in the general area around you. ”James Smith. Jane Stargazer. You stand accused of illegal summoning. Though no harm was done that is through no wisdom on your part, merely shere luck. This entire city might have fallen had you succeeded in your efforts. By the law of the land I could have you both executed, raised, and sentenced to hard labor for the rest of your unlife. James in particular might learn a little empathy and understanding from such a fate.”

James goes very, very pale and starts trembling. Jane looks like she might faint. The anger in the room, previously just a hint, is now palpable, making everyone feel warm even though the temperature hasn’t really changed. The Dead King is silent for several long moments and the anger in the room slowly fading back to a low burn. ”You are young and foolish and I am not wholly without mercy. James Smith the death of your mother was tragic and your emotions understandable, but your actions have endangered everything we’ve built here. I hereby remand you to the custody of your mother. You will live with her, assist her in her work, and your every action will be monitored until the day you can shed your racism and hate. You are essentially under house arrest; whether it last 5 years or 500 is up to you.

”Jane Stargazer, while your skepticism and intelligence are admirable but your actions and choices not. You are hereby barred from practicing magic in any form and remanded to Historian Vo’s custody. You will assist him in documenting our history so that you may learn the truth of things for yourself.”

“Know that if either of you attempt to escape your custodian’s watchful gaze then my mercy will be withdrawn and you shall be executed. I am giving you a chance to be useful members of society and learn better. Squander that chance and your lives are forfeit.”

Sesha is more than impressed. This Undead King was both practical and resourceful, both traits that were admirable. Further, they had learned to use the undead for breeding!, which was all of terrible, exciting, and terribly exciting.

Then his handling of James was also spot on in her book. So unless this was all a big show and ruse, which she would trust Tink or Restlin to decipher, Sesha was pleased with how it was going. She turned up her desire to return here one day by a notch or two.

"Color me impressed. I think this King would be akin to a Power back in the wold, perhaps. If this is all one big act everyone has been in on it, from the Paladin to the waifs in the streets. I think we can explain our position fully, without reserve.", she says over the link of their rings.

"Agreed. I like him too. So far everything seems above board. That's proven to be somewhat rare for us, which has me a little wary"

Justice. Tink is more than pleased with the result. No one died (or became undead).

Still, she is facing another moral dilemma. Should the party turn in Aeson?

Beri watches as the sentencing is handed out. It seems extremely fair and almost paternal in it's nature. The druid watches the reactions of those in the room, especially Jane and James. While he's not sure whether the sentences would bring disappointment or relief to the would be assassins, the thing he is most looking for is that of utter confusion and bafflement, as if this is a complete deviation from what is normal. There is nothing the druid has seen that would lead him to expect this but he's not about to let his guard down when the stakes are so high.

Restlin remarks over the ring that he kind of likes the king. He watches and observes what goes on, sensing the king’s motive as he does. He finds Bosk’s proposal to be interesting.
Sesha is impressed in the king’s handling of the situation. She thinks he was practical and resourceful. She also is interested in the fact that they figured out how to use undead for breeding.
Wyaar thinks the Dragons can explain themselves fully.
Zane said the king’s verdict seems like justice but he’s not relaxing.
Tink thinks she too is liking the king as well considering everything seems to be above board which is rare for them lately. She now has the dilemma over whether or not to turn in Aeson.
Beri watches the sentencing reflecting on how it seemed fair and paternal. He remains on guard for anything to suggest whether or not
Bosk waits for an answer to his question.

James and Jane still look pale. They obviously don’t like where things ended up, but they’re resigned to their fates and afraid that if they complain they’ll get far worse. At some unspoken signal one of the guards in the room takes the pair and leads them away to their new fate.

The Dead King speaks. ”To answer your question the outer planes were attacked and destroyed by beings from outside of our reality. The Gods died, the souls of the dead were consumed, and their servants were destroyed or twisted into mockeries of themselves. One of the reasons I turned to Undeath as an answer was to preserve the souls of my followers for a long as possible for there is no safe afterlife for them to reside in.”

Curiosity and wry amusement fills the room. ”Your offer is intriguing, but unless you spare god brings an army capable of destroying the eldritch forces that control the outer planes I’m afraid he’s of little use. You’ll also have to forgive me if I am more than a little wary at strangers passing out free gods. We’ve had more than enough trouble come here from other realities. So far you’ve proven friendly, but I’ve only known you for five minutes and it’s still possible our purposes may be mutually exclusive. Tell me what brings you here. I doubt it was to offer us your spare god.”

Restlin's kinda horrified. "Wait, the souls of your dead who aren't reanimated are just devoured by these eldritch forces? That's...that's terrible." He shakes his head free of the thought. The king asked a question.

"There's a god sealed away in our world. There's a lot of debate on whether or not he's dangerous, but there are a group of very dangerous people using his divine energy to cause trouble. We've been tasked with breaking the seal, but it's a tough seal.

"We need two free-willed, very powerful undead to help break the seal. They should survive the ritual, but if we're being honest I can't guarantee their safety from what happens after it's done.

"We also require hearts of good, order, and chaos. I'm not sure where to start looking, but if you have any wisdom to share on the matter, I'd sure appreciate it."

He thinks for a moment. He doesn't want to come across as someone who just expects these things.

"Maybe these eldritch forces can help. They sound pretty chaotic. Perhaps you can tell us more about them?"

Edit: I put a Quest Items link in my header to track what we're supposed to be gathering since I keep forgetting.

Tink has another matter on which to brief the King.

"A portal opened in our realm and a number of undead came through and attacked us." Tink will describe the undead mage and its cohorts. "Had you heard of this? Is it possible that James had somehow mistakenly managed to send some of your people to our realm when trying to summon something instead? I mention it now in the interest of full disclosure"

Bosk nods. This god is very powerful, as are his creator. I cannot say how they compare to the eldritch, but I would bet on him. He is a god capable of defeating other gods and created by a god that is strong enough to create and defeat other gods. I cannot guarantee he would accept, but it would seem the perfect fit for him.

Restlin expresses horror with respect to the idea of souls being consumed by eldritch forces. He also explains what is going on.
Tink brings up their encounter with the undead from this realm in the Bone Tower
Wyaar explains the ritual some more to the king
Garret starts to sit down then looks over to Sesha to see if this is a good idea
Zane tries to give an accounting of the ritual participants they need. They have Mega Man who counts as a construct / undead hybrid and Dock who is a free willed construct. They still need 2 free willed undead and 1 free willed construct
Beri inquires more about the King’s goals
Sesha also tries to remember what they need seeing as how they are seemingly planning to just wing it
Bosk continues to pitch his idea about Kevintar

The Dead King listens impassively to Restlin’s tale. Well actually he still hasn’t moved at all so he’s pretty much permanently impassive. ”This does indeed sound like a powerful ritual. I can possibly provide you with undead, but I promise you that you want nothing to do with the eldritch. Their artifacts rend the mind and tear reality just by existing. To use one in such a ritual might twist this sealed god into an unstoppable horror and that’s only if it did not drive you all mad first. They are destroyed upon being found and most of our defenses are to prevent any hint of the things from ever coming here.”

To Beri’s question about goals the Dead King says, ”I run a small civilization. By necessity I have many goals, but the largest is to keep my city safe, especially from danger coming from other realms.”

Upon Tinks statement a complex series of emotions fill the room. Anger, annoyance, sadness, frustration, regret, and possibly more. ”Ah yes, “attacked” you. That is not how the report I received described events. There is a portal here that, for reasons to complicated to get into just now, we have been unable to destroy. It connects our two worlds and has been for centuries silent. Nonetheless it is constantly under heavy guard and monitored. A few weeks ago it activated and nothing we did could turn it off again. It snatched random citizens of my city off the streets and pulled them across to your world. None returned. We sent a squad through lead by one of my most skilled wizards with orders to seal the portal by any means and rescue survivors if possible.

Of course he knew it might be a suicide mission and when the portal closed without his return we feared the worse. Shortly afterwards it opened again just long enough to let the survivors of his team through. He reported that the other side seemed to link to a nexus of sorts where creatures from many realms were being pulled. They were immediately set upon my metal monstrosities and strange, twisted demons. They could not stop the flow until a group of strangers arrived and called for everyone to surrender. Fighting for their lives they of course could not lay down their arms, but they focused their attacks on the robotic monsters. Immediately afterwards you attacked them and the Barbarians who were seemingly only trying to stay alive. The entire team would have been wiped out if he hadn’t called for their surrender at the last minute. He witnessed a group of Barbarians in a similar situation slaughtered by your group.

The Dead King is silent for several moments. If the party thinks back then what he’s saying might be true. It was a chaotic battle, but it’s certainly possible that they struck first. Restlin in particular remembers unloading many powerful spells on the Barbarians who were barely surviving against the Chicken Demons and never touched any of the Iron Dragons. They also spent several days climbing up and down the tower, so any civilians pulled through were probably long dead and eaten before they got back.

The Dead King sighs. Sadness now dominates the feeling in the room. ”All too often my servants have been killed because of assumptions that they are evil monsters. You could not know better and at least you spared them instead of executing them out of hand like most others have in the past. I hope you have learned and grown from your time here so that this mistake may not be repeated. As a gesture of good faith I can send aid with you to complete this ritual of yours. In exchange I want your assurance that the portal on your side will be secured so that no more harm comes to my citizens. Explain to me exactly what these hearts are and I may be able to provide one.”

With the destruction of the Devourer’s power the portals should be stable and there shouldn’t be anymore portal problems affecting the Dead King’s world.

Tink starts to feel a little uncomfortable. Something just isn't sitting right.

"It seems we have some differing thoughts on the matter. In the case of the mage I believe the 'assumption' he was evil turned out to be true. He was fortunate that we accepted his surrender at all given the measure of his being. Challenging evil where we find it isn't a mistake. I'm sure it is the same honorable standard that you hold your champions to."

Tink does her best to explain her position "In our realm, undead - ALL undead - are evil and souless creatures. There are no exceptions to this where we come from. It's just how things work there. Should your people appear in our realm again I imagine they will be attacked on sight again - especially if they have evil hearts"

"If your people do find themselves in such a situation, they may declare to anyone they encounter that they wish to speak with the Iron Dragons. Any who hear this will know to contact us and we can intervene to provide security and ensure their safety. "

It is all said respectfully and as a sincere way to try and ensure peace. Still, she does want to make sure the Wold stays safe...

"To prevent repeats, however, I think it would be wise to only send emissaries who are of good heart. Any who detect as evil can expect to be attacked again"

Tink then speaks to the others over the rings: "Anyone else catch on to the fact that the mage was the one that Wyaar detected as 'very evil' - the evilest of the group in fact. Surely someone would have known this, in which case why was he chosen to lead the squad to us? The answer would be that they intentionally sent evil undead. That, or the king is blind to the men who serve him"

I mean, Tink's correct in everything she's saying, but Restlin hopes she doesn't get everyone killed.

He decides to let her keep talking, as he's not sure he could butt in without contradicting her. Instead, he thinks back to that combat...

"The malfunctioning portals are pulling random monsters and people through. They have begun fighting each other. My servitors have a way to seal the portal, but cannot make it through the battlezone. Clear out the enemies and assist my servitors in closing the portals."

That's what the Custodian had said: pulling random people through. Guilt rises in Restlin. Did anyone check those barbarians for evil?

Seriously, Restlin wants to know if anyone checked those barbarians for evil.

"I do regret the loss of life. It grieves me that innocent lives were lost, but battle is chaotic and we did give them a chance to flee or surrender before hand... and make no mistake, Dead King, the wizard that survived IS evil, or at the very least something on him is. The aura of evil around him was very very strong." Wyaar adds in.

I did not get a chance to check the barbarians, but they did continue to fight and made no attempts to flee after we told them to or to communicate their situation with us. The king is teliing us what his team told him, but that does not mean it is the truth.

"That's right," he thinks to himself. He replays the fight in his head. He threw out a slow spell right off the bat on some demons, then Beri said we'd accept any surrender.

Restlin feels better, but makes a mental note to do a better job of making sure his targets were deserving of whatever he was about to throw at them.

Sesha - 102/202. AC 30 
Friday July 12th, 2019 1:41:42 PM

Feeling like things might be more complex than they are on the surface, Sesha chimes in, aloud.

"I see the dilemma, Great King. Or at least, I think I might. Our scope of good and evil is very much based upon the reading of auras that reflect both ones origins and the culmination of their deeds. We have many, who through spell or divine authority, are able to read and measure such things."

Sesha slightly alters Tinks original statement.

"In our realm, all undead generate this aura. There might be some who do not, but we have not experienced such a thing first hand. Its very possible that even a good hearted undead who performs good deeds, might give an aura of evil, just by virtue of the necromancy and undeath that surrounds them."

She considers too, that the wizard gave the strongest evil aura.

"It's also true that the relative power of the undead being magnifies their aura. It is very possible that when examining your ilk, we are viewing a reading that does not necessarily reflect the goodness of being, but the power of the necromancy and reanimation that surrounds them."

She takes a deep breath.

"In which case, it would be wise for any future emissaries, should they be sent to us, to both disguise their appearance and hide their auras. They should appear as close to us as they can, and like Tink suggests, seek one of us out immediately."

Sesha considers what she knows about magic, which to be fair is a considerable amount, to see if her suggestion has any standing whatsoever.

"King, when you arrive in the midst of a massive fight already going on, you may attack those you know are bad first, but when you come under attack, very rarely do you allow your opponent attacks on you without defending yourself and attacking back. Our initial attacks when towards the chicken demons,which we had encountered before and a call was made to put down arms or be attacked. The group form here accepted, those barbarians did not."

There is one more key point that I'm sure would have been relayed to you. They may not have been able to lay down their arms, but they also chose to ignore our plea instead of responding that they couldn't just yet but would be no threat to us. I do understand why they may not have trusted us, just as I'm sure that from their report you understand why our priority had to be stopping the cascading affect of the portals before countless more were sucked in. Once we sealed the portals we were able to track down the devourer of worlds who was causing their malfunction. The portals should be stable and there shouldn’t be anymore portal problems affecting your world.

As for the detect evil, as nice as the thought is I doubt that the rules of detect evil would have changed. In our realm when you die all that is good in you would find itself before the god of death and life, and we don't have a way to bring back the dead along with that goodness intact just as it sounds like you didn't until you lost your pantheon. On that note, I also know you have already cast detect evil on us and know our hearts. We made them the offer of peace immediately and without judgement. We immediately trusted them and accepted their surrender and let them go freely, and would have at any moment would they have accepted our offer. I don't know if it was their mistrust of us or the urgency of their mission, but I can say that we made the effort and they didn't.

But that's in the past. I apologize if we are a little defensive, trying to explain ones actions before a king is a stressful situation, especially before one as powerful as you. You had asked about the hearts. I fear so fear the translation is more literal than we like. I believe we still need hearts of Order, Chaos, and Good.

Something is not sitting right with Tink. She does her diplomatic best to explain how Undead are where they come from and suggest that he only send good aligned emissaries if the King needs to contact the Wold who would then seek the Iron Dragons. She tells her unease with the evil undead mage the King sent over the rings
Restlin let’s Tink continue as she isn’t wrong. His thoughts rest with what the conservator said and those barbarians. He wonders if anyone checked if those Barbarians were evil
Wyaar explained that he didn’t have a chance to check the Barbarians but reminds Restlin that the Barbarians didn’t surrender and that the battle was chaotic. He does explain that the wizard was evil.
Restlin is assured by Wyaar’s observations but still resolves to do a better job in the future of making sure whoever he casts spells on is worthy of what he will throw at them.
Sesha further explains about how auras work in the Wold and explain how necromancy can read as evil and then reinforces the idea of sending emissaries that are close to Woldians as possible with any auras disguised
Zane further explains how they focused on the chicken demons first and then offered everyone else a chance to surrender. The undead took it for the most part the barbarians didn’t
Garret sits on the floor and eats some dried meat.
Beri also explains more with respect to the battle, the portal being stabilized and the hearts needed to complete their ritual.

The Dead King radiates frustration and annoyance, like someone who’s had the same conversation thousands of times. ”Ah yes, the classic ‘Our paladin said he was evil’. I’ve seen good people commit genocide and evil people sacrifice everything to save hundreds. Our world might have been spared from destruction if overzealous fools hadn’t spent so much time finding excuses to kill each other. The law is what matters and the actual history and actions of someone, not a snap judgement made because of a vague magical divination.”

The Dead King finally moves; waving a hand in a dismissive manner. ”But enough of this. I am not going to argue morality with you for the next hour. This is my offer; I will send Uthras with you to help you with your ritual. As a paladin I’m sure she’ll meet your high moral standards. You may also have my heart; it should serve for your Heart of Order, for I have dedicated myself for centuries to the principle of law and order. In exchange you will secure the other side of the portal for me. Ensure that no more harm can visit us here from your side. Post a permanent guard, seal it up, whatever. Just make sure my people are safe.

I don’t want your god or anything else coming here. No doubt the god would decide undead are an abomination, or he would start a crusade to purge evil, or he’d just screw up and let some horror get to him. Our situation here is too delicate to start adding in unknown quantities, especially ones as powerful as a god. That is my bargain; take it or leave.”

"I'm sure the king would be happy to send us through the portal and out of his world. His offer is pretty generous, but leaves us two hearts, one construct, and one undead short. There's still the world where the barbarians came from, but this seems like the ideal place to get another willing undead for the ritual. Do we push it? My gut says no, but what do you folks think?"

He goes over things in his brain, making sure that there IS a way to seal that gate (know, arcana: 47).

Garret chews his dried meat and listens carefully. He starts to offer a piece to one of the undead guards, then figures they probably don't need anything to eat. He's glad that he's not undead. He looks over at one of their rib cages and pictures them eating and the food just falling into the rib cage, then out onto the floor.

When the king says that he will send Uthras with them Garret runs over to her to give her a hug and says, "Welcome to our little group, Uthras!"

Restlin asks the others if they should push to try to get another undead for the ritual while wracking his brain to figure out if the portal can be sealed
Garret continues to eat his dry meat and considers offering some to one of the undead guards only to start imagining pieces of meat falling through their rib cages. He welcomes Uthras to the group.
Zane suggests taking the offer and leaving as he sees law and order here, he points out they did see the judgement as just
Wyaar tells the others not to push it and bows to the king
Beri agrees over the ring with the deal as the caretaker said they could find the rest of what they need over the rings. He thanks the king for his generosity and pledges to keep their end of the bargain.
Bosk thanks the king for his aid.

”The deal is struck then. Go.” Uthras bows to the king and leads them away. She sends someone to retrieve the heart and leads the party through the castle to the gate. It looks pretty much the same on this side, though it’s in a secured room heavily locked with a dozen guards inside and a long hallway full of murder holes leading to and from it. Someone brings the heart; it’s a well preserved leathery human heart. Anyone who touches it feels hyper focused, able to think through a single thing more easily but less aware of other things while doing so.

”I assume you know how to activate it. If there’s nothing else you want to do here then let us proceed.”

This is the third time the party has had to activate one so yes they know how to activate it.

Restlin tries to get a read on Uthras. He has no doubt she will serve the wishes of the Dead King to the best of her abilities, but he'd rather she been an enthusiastic member of the team.

Sense motive: 42

"I want you to know we appreciate your help in this Uthras. Even if you're here on order of your King, it means a lot to us. We'll keep our end of the deal and do everything we can to see you home safely." He then activates the portal so they can all leave.

Garret smiles and waves and the undead king. He bounces along towards the portal and pokes his fingers in the murder holes as they walk down the hallway. He says to Restlin, "I guess we're headed for the barbarians now? Do you think Uthras will want to see them?"

It should be safe on the other side, but as long as we are being catious we should have the first one through send an all clear over the link before the rest pile through.
Beri transforms into an air elemental will wait on the safe side until given the all clear over the link.

"The ring communication doesn't work across planes, Beri. It's one in all in"

Tink's eyes widen as Wyaar heads through the portal first. She doesn't say anything and instead follows behind (or at least as close to the front as she can). Might be nice to have a shield.

Restlin tries to get a read on Uthras. He welcomes her to the team.
Garret bounces along, remarking about the Barbarian world and wonders if Uthras wants to come.
Zane goes to the gate, making sure the others get through safely.
Wyaar heads through the portal first, arrow at the ready
Beri says it will be safe on the other side and turns into an air elemental. He suggests sending someone over first to let them know over the rings how it is.
Tink reminds Beri the rings don’t work transdimension and follows after Wyaar.
Sesha was surprised at the king’s sudden displeasure.
Bosk takes the rear.

Uthras answers Restlin’s questions. Oh it’ll be good to get out of the city. It’s been over a hundred years; of course before now there wasn’t really anywhere else to go. I look forward to seeing your world, even if just a small piece. Also, don’t judge the king to harshly. We’ve had to defend ourselves against those claiming to be righteous almost as often as we’ve fought the great evils. Your little speech about fighting evil always touched a nerve.”

When they reach the other side the servitor, Chuck, Megaman and Dock are all waiting for them. Chuck takes a look at the Undead Uthras and says, “You’re working with straight up zombies now? This just seems too derivative. Once that tv show took off zombies were everywhere and they overplayed zombies, just like how they overplayed vampires after that book with the sparkly ones”

The others just seem happy to see them and interested in the new companion.

Restlin briefly considers taking Chuck back through the portal and asking the Dead King to raise him, but lets the thought go. He wonders if Sesha's personality was starting to rub off on him.

"She's not a zombie. She's an undead paladin, which is never something I thought I'd see, but I'm glad she's here. Her name's Uthras. Uthras, this is Chuck, Megaman, and Dock. We call this one the Custodian. If anyone's gonna make sure we keep our word to your King and get this portal sealed up for good, it's him.

"First things first. That trip didn't take much out of us. We should be ready to go through that other portal without much ado."

"The Barbarians. Did we .. properly dispose of their bodies? Perhaps they would appreciate us bringing back their dead."

Sesha considers for a moment if they ever bothered to clean up a dead body. Now that she thought about it, she was quite sure they hadn't.

"Have you guys ever wondered about.. well.. who cleans up the bodies? I mean, WE don't."

Tink nods to Restlin and Garret. She's ready to go as well.

"I had just presumed that any bodies we left in our wake were left to naturally decompose. This might be one of the few times we've ever had to return to the scene of a battle again and again."

She's not going to step through the portal until everyone is ready.

Restlin considers taking Chuck back through the portal and asking the King to raise him only to scrap the thought before correcting the man on Uthras and suggesting they press on.
Garret agrees at first then defers to Tink
Zane somes up where they have been and where they are going, suggesting they will be left short.
Sesha suggests bringing back the bodies of the Barbarians if they can be found.
Tink nods to Garret and Restlin before giving her own thoughts on the bodies
Beri asks the Custodian to update them regarding any changes in the Barbarian world and how long it has been since they slept
Bosk asks for an update on Marteus, Kevintar and their followers.

In response to Zane’s observations, the Custodian says, “There are still 2 portals you have not visited. The world in ceaseless strife, I believe the one you dubbed the portal with the Barbarians and the world undergoing a religious sea change.”

The Custodian also says it cleaned up the bodies and that it’s impossible to know how long it’s been since they slept. ”Time across realities isn’t always exact. What may have been days on the other side might be hours here and vice versa.” As far as Beri can remember they spent half a day running around town in the Undead world.

Restlin had forgotten about the other portal too. He feels the odds of their success have improved.

He takes a moment to take stock of his physical condition. He had almost all his spells available, and probably didn't feel tired yet. "I think we're good to go. Let's go see what Strife World is like." He offers to hold Wyarr's hand, just in case the paladin is nervous about going to chaos land.

Restlin had forgotten about the other portal as well and feels they have better odds of success. He takes stock, realizes he’s still ready to go and tells the others that he’s ready to go to the world of strife.
Garret says he doesn’t like Chaos and then cannonballs through the portal
Sesha casts a protection from chaos spell before walking through
Zane steps through ready to play bodyguard as needed.
Wyaar is undaunted by the prospect of mud, takes Restlin by the hand and strides through the portal.
Beri observes that it is decided then and turns into an air elemental before flying though

Before everyone leaves Uthras says, “As much as I’d like to see another world it is probably best from a strategic standpoint as far as completing the ritual goes for me to stay here with Dock, Megaman, Chuck and the Custodian. Should any of you fall in battle I could ask my King to bless you with the gift of unlife, though we’d have to return to my world to receive his blessing.”

The party arrives on the other side already for various dangers. They find themselves in a thick forest. A deer, startled by their sudden appearance, bounds off into the woods. The portal is in the middle of some overgrown jumble of stones. Perhaps ruins? The stones seem to be sitting in shapes that may have been buildings once, but so worn down and overgrown that it could just be coincidence. A few mounds of rock there, a few lines of rock here, that’s about it.

”Hrm, visitors. I thought we might get some today.” a deep voice comments from somewhere. No one seems to be around..

Restlin stumbles through the portal, dragged along as he was. "My hero," he quips to Wyarr as he brushes himself off.

He looks around w/ his arcane sight, trying to see where he is and what could be talking. He decides to do the talking this time.

"Hi. I'm Restlin, these are my friends, the Iron Dragons. We're trying to save our world. Do you mind telling us where we are?" He looks around. "And who we're speaking to?"

Wyarr scans for evil and finds none.

Sesha smiles at Garret
Tink tries to hide.
Beri lets the voice know that the portals should be fixed.
Zane prepares to defend his allies.

The voice responds, “Welcome Restlin, Garret and the rest of the group known as The Iron Dragons. I am the Watcher, entrusted with the task of observing the events of this world and the powerful artifact at its center until the end of time. In a world such as this where 3 factions are locked in eternal strife, comings and goings with respect to the gate are a rare thing. I saw some of the barbarians from the nomadic tribe of Humans sucked through the portal as one of your group suggested and figured others could enter the gate from the outside. As to where you are well it has many names Hell, Pandemonium and Valhalla being but a few. There is a large tribe of nomadic human barbarians locked in eternal genocidal conflict with a martial band of Half-Orcs. They have been fighting each other since before I was created and are locked in a stalemate. Each has designs on the Orb of Mercurial Insight, located at the heart of this world and guarded by an order of gnome monks who have sworn to prevent its misuse. The monks and the orb reside in a formidable fortress being assaulted on both sides by each group. As to your question Garret, I think breakfast ended hours ago as it is late afternoon. May I ask why you have come here?”

Restlin thinks "Orb of Mercurial Insight" just might be a heart of chaos, but how to get it?

He decides to be straight with this Watcher. "We're looking for pieces for a ritual we need to complete to stop a rogue god from doing further damage to our world. The one who watches this portal on our side of it said we'd find some of those pieces here." He lefts the rest unsaid for right now. He doesn't want to give the impression that they're here to take what they need.

Garret looks crestfallen when he hears that it is not breakfast time, but perks up when monks are mentioned. He says, "Oh, those are my people! Let's go talk to them, that sounds like fun!" When Restlin mentions the rogue god and all, Garret tries to look serious. He says, "Oh, and that, too."

Beri listens to the Watcher, not quite sure where the voice is coming from, and a little put off by the mention of where they find themselves.
Excuse me Watcher, it sounds like you have been watching this go on for a very long time. If the monks are still protecting the Orb of Mercurial Insight it sounds like both sides are intending to misuse it. What would be the proper use of the orb, and is it's existence here exasperating the eternal strife you mentioned/

Restlin explains what the party is here fore.
Sesha wonders what happens to people who die here.
Garret thinks they should go meet the monks.
Wyarr things monks are also a good idea and suggests flying.
Beri asks what the proper use of the orb is.
Bosk listens carfully.
Sesha reflects on the extremely odd things the party has seen recently.
Zane points out there are different kinds of monks.
Tink advises caution about who they talk to about their intentions.

The Watcher asks Restlin, “What kind of items are you looking for to complete your ritual?”
The Watcher says to Sesha, “When a warrior falls here, there body turns to ash within a few minutes. Their gear remains intact though. Another warrior magically rises to take their place.”
The Watcher says to Garret and Wyaar, “I can help you navigate the battlelines to reach the monks if that is what you wish.”
The Watcher says to Beriothian, “I honestly do not know the purpose of the orb, for as long as this realm existed so has the orb. However if either of the warring factions got their hands on the orb they just might be able to wipe out the other factions for good. While the monks possess the orb they are sworn to never touch it and to guard others from gaining access to it lest they be tempted to wield its power for ill.”

The Watcher peels himself away from the wall, there is a brief shimmering like some sort of magic or technological field turned off and standing near you is a tall metallic looking being with a hardened head resembling an armored helmet. The Watcher’s body is interesting. Some is straight metallic looking while others appears to be glass? Beneath the glass parts their appears to be gears, pistons and pulleys. Some sort of complex mechanism appears to be keeping the watcher going.

"Funny you should ask, Mr. Watcher. We're needing the help of an intelligent, willing construct and a heart of chaos."

"Sorry, Tink. I'm not ok with tearing my way through their world just to fix ours. If we're going to get that orb and this thing's help, we're gonna be good guys about it."

"Not big on just taking what we need though, Watcher, so what's it going to take to earn your help?"

Garret turns to leave when the watcher mentions leading them to the monks. He stops, apparently surprised, when no one actually leaves. He mumbles, "Oh, right, talky-talky time."

Restlin asks what they’d need to do for help from the Watcher.
Garret pokes the Watcher. He feels like glass.
Wyarr thinks they should help the monks.
Zane is prepared to defend Restlin.
Beri wonders if the monks are against specifically the two groups or anyone in general who might misuse it.
Bosk wonders about the army’s armament.

The Watcher says to Restlin, "I have been tasked to observe what transpires here and I have been doing so for a very long time. I honestly would like to observe something else. This ritual of yours seems like it could be different from the ceaseless killing that happens here all the time. On top of that the monks might honestly be happy to be rid of the orb if you can prove to them you won't misuse it. I feel bad for them for while the half-orcs and humans hunt each other for sport the gnomes well they have the smallest force and are forced to hold a position being assaulted on 2 fronts. They don't go looking for trouble. The humans and half-orcs have tried many times to take the citadel from the gnomes and so far the gnomes have been able to beat them back but the tactics used by the humans and orcs are gradually becoming more sophisticated. You might be able to help the gnomes as much as the gnomes can help you. As I said I am more than willing to help navigate the battle lines to get to a place where we can parlay with the gnomes and potentially even gain access to the fortress. Though as I said you would have to convince them. They may be wary as some of your number are human but I can vouch that you didn't come from here"

The watcher leads the party a little ways away from the wall he was previously using for camouflage and finds another wall. He touches something and there is a sound of stone scraping on stone as a passageway reveals itself.

“We’ll take the underground. There is a series of tunnels below the surface that run all over this land. Lucky for you the gate isn’t too far from the citadel that the gnomes guard. The funny thing is the gnomes seem to be the only one besides myself who know about the underground so they are the only ones who post sentries down here. We should be able to pass through these passages unmolested and then when we get to the chamber below the fortress I’ll identify myself to the gnomes and explain from where you came and you can tell them your purpose in coming here.”

The passages wind on and on as the Iron Dragons and mechanical man make their way through a veritable labyrinth. There are high stone walls and the occasional wall sconce containing a torch. Additionally strange symbols in different colors sometimes adorn the wall near where passages branch off. Someone who didn’t know where they are going could easily get lost down here. It’s good you have a guide.

"I'm not suggesting we steal anything" Tink seems shocked that the others might think her first thoughts were to break the law "Just that the barbarians and half-orcs might try and stop us - or fight us - if they knew our intentions. I wholly support speaking peacefully with the monks"

We may want to have one of our non-humans party members do the talking in case the gnomes have developed a healthy distrust for the two opposing forces.
Beri addresses the Watcher again hoping to get a little more information as they travel..
Who is it that tasked you with watching over what transpires here? And do you know how the gnomes ended up being the protectors of the orb in the first place?

Tink tells the others over the rings she wasn’t suggesting they steal anything. She just states that the Half-Orcs and Humans might try to stop them if they knew what they were up to and they should peacefully talk to the monks.
Sesha is a bit lost. She didn’t think the Justicar was saying they steal anything.
Garret wanders down the occasional side passage trying to learn what the runes mean
Restlin says he said nothing about stealing, he just wanted to be honest with the watcher. He can determine the symbols are some language he’s never heard of, but can’t read it without determined study.
Zane wonders if one of the Monks will join the group.
Beri points out the Gnomes might distrust humans so someone non-human should talk.
Bosk has nothing to add.

The guardian says to Beri, “When I was first activated a voice in the darkness said, “Rise now my watcher. Go forth and observe what transpires here. I do not know how the gnomes came to occupy the citadel. For they already held it when I was activated. I have been allowed to travel this world and am known by all factions as a neutral 3rd party. I have been inside the citadel once but the topic never came up.”

After a few more twists and turns the Guardian escorts you into a large chamber. 2 small gnomes, one orange, one magenta guard a formidable looking door at the far side of the chamber. As they notice you approach they raise their quarterstaves and one calls out, “Who goes there? What is your business?”

The Watcher calls back, “It is I the Watcher. You know my task is to but observe, well today I have observed something most unusual. Our realm has been visited by strangers from another world. They would like to meet you as they are on a quest and I think you just might be able to help each other. I’ll let one of them give you more information about themselves and why they have come”

The Watcher says to the Iron Dragons, “Now’s the time where one of you speaks up.”

Restlin very briefly wonders if maybe Garret should do the talking. He has a good chuckle at the thought, then speaks up.

"Hi. I'm Restlin, and this is Sesha, Bosk, Beri, Tink, Garret, Zane, and Wyarr. We're the Iron Dragons, and we're looking for a heart of chaos to help save our world. The Watcher was kind enough to bring us here; he seems to think we could work together to solve both our problems."

Garret holds back and lets Restlin talk. As soon as he is introduced, he can't hold himself back any more. He rushes right up to them and tries to give them a hug. He starts babbling, "I hear that we've missed breakfast, and I'm sorry for that." He pulls out some dried meat and offers it, "But I do have some supplies in case you're in need of a second breakfast."

Beri adds a little to what the others have said, trying to be careful knowing that he is human.
We were told that you have an object that from the name might be what we have been sent to look for. We also know that you are charged with making sure it will not be misused. Can you tell us what the proper use of it is? We are also happy to answer any questions we can regarding the quest we are on.

Restlin introduces the group and their mission.
Garret gives a gnome a hug.
Wyarr detects evil
Zane lowers his hood.
Sesha stays on guard.
Tink raises a hand in greeting.
Beri wonders what counts as misusing the orb.

The 2 gnomes exchange glances when Restlin introduces himself.

They were just about to say something when Garret wanders up and gives the orange one a hug.

The orange one looks down at the dried meat Garret offers and says, "Thank you for the generous offer but we have our own supplies." He gives Garret a few polite taps on the back, as he awkwardly returns the hug and disengages.

The Magenta one who you happen to realize is female says, "Wait here." She executes a series of quick knocks on the door and it surprisingly swings inward quickly. She disappears down the hallway and just as quickly the door swings close.

The orange one says to Beri, "We aren't sure what its proper use is. We just don't think either the humans nor the half-orcs should be allowed to use it given their quest for supremacy with respect to this land. Therefore we have no choice but to guard the orb and this fortress is the most defensible position available to us. What would you use this 'heart of chaos' as you called it for?"

Wyaar realizes that the orange one does not register as evil. Given Monks strong preference for Order over Chaos, either the gnome is suppressing his alignment or he is most likely Lawful Neutral or Lawful Good

Garret smiles and starts to follow the magenta one, but when the door slam he repeats, "Oh, right, stay here." He wanders back to the other gnome and sits on the ground next to him, snacking on the meat. He tries to let it and Beri talk, but then he whispers, "Do you know the quivering palm maneuver?"

Beri is a little nervous regarding how to answer their question.
The short version is that we be using it to save the entire world. We will be using it to unlock a seal designed to be impossible to unseal as our realm doesn't contain the required items, a seal that unfortunately has started to leak. There are three possible outcomes to our world's situation. First, the seal remains unbroken but leaky, and that contained within will continue to contaminate our world. Second, the followers of the one contained within learn how to break the seal and do so. They surely will if they can. Or third, we break the seal and set about a fight that a great power in our world has been preparing for. If we open it the one contained within will be met and destroyed as he steps forth before he gains full power.

Beri takes a breath, unsure how they will respond to the last detail of the story.
And I regret to say it is my understanding that the object will be burned up and destroyed in the process.

"Beri, I think the 5 hearts will be what's consumed during the ritual. I was under the impression that those whom freely enter into the ritual are there to help guide the opening.
It will probably be our job to ensure they survive, right now, I think only 2 of them even have any combat training to fall back on.

Oh, excuse me, My name is Zane Stormfront. I too am at least partially trained as you are your fellow guardians are. Although I found my temper was not suited to the lifestyle my teachers lived. I've molded the training they got me to learn with native abilities into a style all of my own."
Zane then gives a bow from the waist with his left fist in his right palm.... That only took Morgan 6 months to teach him... at least he still uses the politeness, sometimes....

Restlin starts to answer then realizes the gnomes are talking to someone else.
Garret tries to go in with the gnome but is shut out.
Wyarr smiles at Garret
Sesha stretches and comments on Restlin not diving into the story
Beri explains what they want the orb for and that it might be destroyed in the ritual.
Zane points out that itfs the hearts that will be destroyedc which is what the orb will be used for. He introduces himself.
Tink smiles at Garret too.

The Orange gnome says to Garret, gNo, sadly none of our number know that maneuver. Do you?h

The Orange Gnome says to Beri, gMayhap being rid of the orb would be best. If it were taken away and then destroyed then no one will be able to use it.h

The Orange Gnome returns the minotaurfs bow and says, gPleased to meet you Master Stormfronth

In about the timespan of the exchanges between the Iron Dragon and the Orange gnome the Magenta Gnome returns and the door swings open again. She says to the Iron Dragons, gYou may enter but do not touch the orb. We have not decided what to do at this time and you must speak to more of our order.h

The 2 gnomes escort you through the bowels of the fortress gradually taking you upward. Eventually you emerge in a large common room where a number of gnomes are seated. Many are clustered around the edges of the room while 8 gnomes sit upon a raised dias.

The 8 gnomes say, gWe are the council. Leaders of Gnomish Order. Nessa tells us that you have a proposition that would be mutually beneficial to both our people. Please state that now so that we all may hear.h

Garret is excited when he hears that the orange gnome doesn't know the quivering palm maneuver. While they are walking along the passage, he speeds up and slows down and tries to explain bits of the maneuver to the two gnomes. He makes gestures with his fists and tries to show moves, but since they're walking along, it doesn't really work out so well. He looks more like a 5-year old running along while his parents are trying to get somewhere.

When they arrive at the room with all the other gnomes, Garret freezes and looks around. A massive smile crosses his face as he takes in all the monks in one place at one time. He says, "Monks, my people!" He heads for the side of the room, his hand raised, hoping to high-five an entire row of monks.

"Just being polite, dear. Speak when spoken too, and all that. It's important to know your audience..."

He's led along to the council chamber. He was expecting the realm of chaos to have more chaos. He's sure it does, but it's interesting that they end up in a place like this. Guess Wyarr's gonna be ok after all.

Restlin clears his throat a bit, then speaks up.

"The future of our world relies on completing a ritual detailed by our god of life and death. We're searching for powerful objects, as well as willing undead and constructs.

"We believe the object you guard would function as one of the objects, and that the Watcher would function as one of the constructs needed.

"The heart will likely be consumed during the ritual and destroyed. Whether or not that is a good thing depends on your own judgement. The Watcher should survive the ritual, but there may be one heck of a fight on everyone's hands after. I cannot guarantee its safety, but all of us will do all we can to make sure all the participants remain safe."

He looks around, seeing if any of his friends have more to offer. He briefly thinks about how glad he is Garret isn't as stuffy as these folks.

Beri lets those with a more gifted tongue than him fill in the group about their quest before adding anything else. He also makes sure nobody tries to touch the orb just in case somebody wasn't paying attention to the instructions.
I believe that about sums it up. We are happy to answer any additional question you might have regarding our quest.

Garret high fives everyone.
Restlin tells the story of why they’re here.
Wyarr wonders if they monks are using the orb.
Zane wonders how good they are at fighting.
Beri says he’s happy to answer any additional questions.
Tink is curious about the other two groups.

The various monks greet Garret as he comes over to where the monks are gathered.

The monks sit fascinated by the story that Restlin tells.

Zane sees that the assembled gnomes are a fairly proficient bunch, not as skilled as Garret but close and certainly better trained in the martial arts than he is.

The green gnome sitting at the center of the table with slightly pointier ears than normal says, "Help you we can yes? The orb, we do not use it for fear of what could overtake the user. Not sure if you should have it though as lying you could be. Uncertain the future is...." and he is cut off mid sentence as a loud gong sounds

A runner appears and he shouts, "The humans and half-orcs appear to be launching renewed sieges at the exact same time."

"The orb you want?" The green one asks, "Trial by fire, you must pass. Help us defend it. Prove your worth. Do or do not, there is no try."

Restlin casts Wyarr a knowing glance. They've played this game, even if Wyarr did come out on top. They won't be playing it again.

When Sesha and Restlin mention tactics and strategy, Garret pauses and says, "Oh yes, that stuff." He waits impatiently for strategy and direction.

I take it this isn't a common tactic for them to use. Do they know they are both attacking, I'm afraid I don't know the layout of the fortress and the two opposing groups. Maybe we can lure or trick them into having a large chunk of their forces attack each other instead of the fortress. After all, it sounds like the one thing they would want more than the orb is to make sure their enemy doesn't get the upper hand.
The Monks know where to put us to be the most help.

Restlin requests information.
Garret is ready to run off but waits for strategy talk.
Zane wonders if the group should focus on one target or split up.
Beri wonders if they could bait the enemies into fighting each other.
Tink wonders if they’re attacking as a unified force or separately at different locations.

The Green Gnome says to Sesha, “Defend the monastery you must”

To Restlin he says, “Bridge to the east there is, Water to the West. The men, boats they have. The half-orcs, assault the bridge they will.”

“To the ramparts facing the water some of you go, others go to the bridge. Destroy siege weapons, you must, else endless, the assault will be.”

"As Zane suggests, he and Bosk can take quite a few blows and separating them may be to our advantage.

As Bosk has said, both he and Sesha have some healing skills, so it might be best to separate the two of you as well.

Wyaar's ranged attacks would no doubt be able to strike at the boats from a great range and pick off those that happen to make it through. In a pinch he could also supplement Bosk's healing.

Restlin is right that Beri and I can both summon aid that might be able to go after the boats, whilst his fireballs might quickly toast those siege weapons by the bridge.

With all that in mind, how about..."

Bridge:
Restlin
Sesha
Garret
Zane

Boats:
Beri
Tink
Bosk
Wyarr

OOC: Just offering this as a suggestion based on the preferences people have made so far

The party forms teams and are guided up through the fortress to the walls to join the oncoming battle.

The Bridge team find themselves on top of the wall overlooking a large moat or river bellow. A large bridge crosses it, and already a ram is halfway across it, protected by screen of half-orc warriors. A hail of arrows and shurikens is being exchanged by the combatants, and across the moat they can see the enemy army camp, housing hundreds, if not thousands of enemies.

On the boat side of the fortress the party finds themselves showing up in an already fierce battle atop the wall. One of the boats has pulled up to the wall and attached itself with ladders and grappling hooks. Almost a dozen barbarians have already scaled to the top and more are climbing up ladders as you watch. Across the moat the barbarian army rests, equally as large as the half-orc one.

Both parties find a mix of gnome and enemy corpses and notice something odd. While the freshest corpses look normal, several are turning grey and others are half collapses in on themselves as they become dust. From the size of the enemy army and the fact they’re warriors return in minutes the head monk is right - the only way to end this is to destroy all of their siege weaponry so they can’t breach the walls. Their numbers are endless.

Restlin casts a greater invisibility right before he arrives on the battlefield. His overland flight and mage armor spells already being up.

He asks the gnomes before the fighting starts, "So, is there any reason we can't just take out the bridge?"

(I'll post more when I know the answer to that)

Garret looks down, clearly disappointed, and says, "I can go down there and reduce their numbers, but if they keep coming back, I won't really be doing anything. I'm not sure there's anything I can do with that ram there. Can someone just blow it up?"

"Garret, you will be going down there, and you'll smash the siege engine, with me there too..."
Zane casts an extended Haste on those at the wall, and after the "Dragons" he'll include as many of the monks as he can.
"Garret, do me a favor, and pull out one of my beads please, we may need it if things go badly and I won't be able to get to them after the next spell. And we'll be leaving the wall after my next casting, so be ready dragon rider...."
Zane's wings spread, flap once or twice after having been folded for for a few hours.

Bosk looks down at the boats to determine how many ladders there are, how far below him the boats are, and if anyone is currently climbing the ladders.

As the others make their preparations, The Horned Cleric casts blade barrier forming a line running along the wall that is positioned to damage the boat, ladders and grappling hooks.

Tink hovers 15ft off the ground and casts a haste spell covering herself, Beri, Bosk, Wyarr and as many monks as she can, whilst drawing her summoning staff.

The group look like they are going to be outnumbered soon so it is essentially to try and even things out.

It looks like Zane, Garret, Restlin and Wyaar have made their way to the ramparts facing the bridge.
Restlin asks if there is any reason why they can’t just destroy the bridge.
A gnome says to Restlin, “You can try to destroy the bridge if you can but it’d probably be harder than destroying the siege weapons. If they break the gate in while you’re doing that we’re in trouble.”

Garret makes an observation that he doesn’t think he’ll be much help.
Zane limbers up his wings and tells Garret he’ll be going down there and smashing the siege engine with the Dragon Disciple. He also slips a bead off of his necklace of fire balls and gives it to the halfling as a contingency plan.
Wyaar activates his divine bond and suggests maybe they try to incapacitate their enemies instead of kill them it will buy more time.

More Half-Orcs approach the bridge and the ones that are already their adjust their positioning somewhat as the Ram moves forward 15 feet.

The gnomes and Half-Orcs continue to exchange missile fire at each other.

bridge map

Meanwhile facing the boats…
Wyarr posits that unconscious enemies may stay down longer.
Beri in air elemental form begins summoning a pair of water elementals in the water to deal with the boats directly.
Bosk gets a quick headcount of ladders, hooks, and barbarians coming up them. There are 5 ladders, a dozen hooks, and half dozen barbarians climbing up them. It looks like they have spares in the boat.
Tink hastes the party and as many Monks as she can.

The blade barrier shreds the ladders and hooks easily. The half dozen climbing barbarians scream in pain as they’re cut. The boat farther out, filled with archers, notice the horned cleric (he kind of stands out amongst the gnomes) and send a half dozen arrows his way. A few bounce off his armor but he takes no damage.

The boats then sail down the wall to a section not covered in blade barrier. The front boat is getting the spare ladders ready even as they pull up to the wall again. ”Go!” one of the gnomes says. ”We’ll handle this group!”

Zane casts Form of the Dragon 2, waits for Garret to get on (if he wants) and flies to the Siege engine, then dumps him off (free action) when they reach there.

"Hold a moment, Zane. I'm about to make things messy over there."

Deciding on a course of action, Restlin casts time stop, granting himself 7 rounds.

Summon Monster IX: 7 elder earth elementals
Summon Monster IX: 6 elder earth elementals
Summon Monster IX: 7 elder air elementals

All earth elementals are summoned 50' off the ground above the half-orcs and their ram, frozen in time until time stop ends.

Grease: Under the ram's wheels, right in front of the wall
Wall of Force: blocking the area directly in front of the ram, but allowing smaller creatures to move on the sides of the bridge
Summon Monster VI: Lillend Azata

Restlin spends the last round finding something comfortable to lean against. He quickly looks to his Azata and asks her to play Yakity Sax as his elementals fall and 780,000 pounds of living earth and stone come crashing down on the hordes with their rams and the bridge. The earth elementals ignore the half-orcs and pound the ram.

Elemental 1: 17 + 20 damage
Elemental 2: 32 + 28 damage
Elemental 3: 25 + 28 damage
Elemental 4: 28 + 25 damage
Elemental 5: 19 + 22 damage
Elemental 6: 34 + 18 damage
Elemental 7: 18 + 24 damage
Elemental 8: 23 + 20 damage
Elemental 9: 22 + 23 damage
Elemental 10: 21 + 25 damage
Elemental 11: 23 + 27 damage
Elemental 12: 19 + 21 damage
Elemental 13: 21 + 25 damage

Meanwhile, the 7 elder air elementals spin up into whirlwinds and try scooping up all the half orcs. They can each move 100' in a single round, so they should be able to hit all of them and veer off the bridge. Each half-orc will take 20 slam damage, DC29 reflex for half. They must also make another DC29 reflex save or be scooped up in the whirlwind. Each whirlwind will end its turn over open water and drop its passengers as a free action.

***

Yea, this is a pain, but it's too fun not to do. At 40' each, the elementals should cover the entire bridge area in the map easy. At the least it would prevent the half-orcs from pushing anything anywhere, wall of force or not. Technically the earth elementals will get hit by the air elementals as well, but they're too heavy to get picked up.

Going strictly by the rules, they're huge and do 6d6 damage each when they fall on something. I rolled 17.

EDIT:

So, it's been brought to my attention that I can't actually summon earth elementals in mid-air. If that's the case, I make the following changes:

Wall of force BEHIND the current ram on the bridge.
Earth elementals show up on our side and form a 4 deep, 3 wide column that advances until they hit the ram, then pound it.
Air elementals are unchanged.

Garret jumps on Zane with the bead held carefully in his hand. He flies down and waits when Restlin pauses. He looks down on the absolute mass of earth elementals on the bridge. He says to Zane, I don't think there's room for us down there at the moment! Nice one, Restlin!

Tink stops time for a moment to bring in some aid.

When times resumes, the lilend azata tries to paralyze one of the barbarians, and then starts a performance to bolster the attacks of the monks.

Tink follows Bosk's example and has the Astral Deva extend the blade barrier. It mightn't destroy the ships but it should stop the ladders and give the monks a reprieve.

The Ghaele Azata tries to assist the monks already in combat

Sesha watches the others jump into action and decides how to best help. She figures for right now, her best bet is to prepare herself to find and remove enemy captains and leaders. The bridge itself should be easy to defend.

In the moments leading up to the fight, she casts her basic defensive spells. Once the battle begins, she gets serious.

First, she casts time stop. With ample time, she makes some decisions. (5 rounds)

Round 1: She summons some help, and casts Greater Immortal Summons.
Round 2: She casts Greater Polymorph, and takes the form of a Silver Dragon. There were more
powerful forms.. but she was feeling nostalgic of the ride on the back of a silver when she joined the consortium.
Round 3: She casts Stoneskin.
Round 4: She casts Spectral Hand.
Round 5: She casts Bloodwitch Lore.

Spells in effect: Contingency, Word of Recall, Stoneskin, Spectral Hand, Bloodwitch Lore, Barkskin, Divine Shield, Moment of Prescience, Shapechange, Ring of counterspells: dispel magic, Ring of Counterspells: Greater dispel magic, Mind Blank, 3 Fold Aspect, Magic Vestment.

Restlin casts timestop summoning a bunch of elementals, an azata, a wall and some grease. When time reverts to normal. His air elementals swoop in and clear the bridge off all but one half orc and the ram. The earth elementals then swarm the bridge completely destroying the first ram.
Zane uses form of dragon, waits until Garret gets on and then buzzes the bridge. He would have let the halfling off but Restlin made it really crowded.
Garret points out there is no room on the bridge.
Wyaar hangs back and activates his boots of flying waiting for choice targets to appear.

A new ram and a number of half orcs start flooding the bridge to take the place of their displaced comrades, while the half orcs in the water start swimming towards the shore they came from.

Half Orcs 12 and 29 beat against the wall of force in futility.
The other half orcs on the bridge start beating on the nearest earth elementals. All hit (26 vs AC 23 - 16 damage ; 37 vs AC 23 - 16 damage; 33 vs AC 23 - 12 damage; 39 vs AC 23 - 15 damage; 27 vs AC 23 - 16 damage ; 35 vs AC 23 - 7 damage

bridge map (OOC: you should all have the ability to edit this map)



Boat side

Bosk tries to judge the size of the wall. It’s about a half-mile across (over two thousand feet) and the boat can move about 360 feet per round (180 movespeed, it can double move). Aditionally the fortress is pretty much square, so even if they chased the boat to the end of the wall it can just round the corner. The batter was taking place near the middle, so there’s about 800 feet before the boat runs out of room and turns a corner.

Tink calls some summoned creatures and the liland azata extend’s bosks wall as best it can. It is only CL 13, so it can cast it’s blade barrier 230 feet away. With a 260 foot wall she extends the total barrier from 320 feet to 490 feet long. Long enough to impede the barbarians, not long enough that they can’t just sail past the barrier again. The boat is looking pretty roughed up.

Beri order’s his elemental to chase. At a dead run the elemental just manages to catch the boat (90 movespeed, 4x on a run, just enough).

Wyarr hangs back.

Bosk tries to cast blade barrier to extend his wall, but at this point the boat is beyond even the extreme range of the spell (cast range is 100+10 per level - you need CL 26 to cast in front of the boat again and caster level 39 to cast at the end of the Azata’s wall). Even if he did double the length of his original wall it wouldn’t be far enough the barbarians couldn’t just sail past it again.

The barbarians, foiled again by the barrier of blades, continues to sail away from the party. At this point they’ve reached 720 feet away and the party probably needs to catch up before they can do much to stop them. (I won’t bother to track barb health since everyone is probably leaving this section of wall. The monks can easily clean up.)

Restlin continues leaning, whistling along with his lillend summons. He calls out in auran for two of his air elementals to clear the line of half-orcs that have approached his wall, then decides that wall of force is getting in the way more than it's helping. He dismisses it as a standard action.

The earth elementals plod onwards, attacking the ram.

***

Standard: Dismiss wall of force
Move: None

Two air elementals sweep over that new line of half-orcs on the bridge. First elemental does 24 slam damage, reflex DC 29 for half. They must make another DC29 reflex saved or be swooped up in the whirlwind. The elemental then drops them in the water as a free action. If any remain, the second elemental will swoop over them, doing 20 slam damage w/ the same saves.

The rest of the air elementals swoosh over the half-orcs swimming for shore. They'll try to pick them up and drag them back away from the shore before dropping them again. Figure the two southern most elementals on either side swoosh the bridge, the rest swoosh the water. Slam damages for the other 5 as follows:

1: 18 damage
2: 25 damage
3: 22 damage
4: 23 damage
5: 16 damage

Meanwhile, the earth elementals move forward. The front four attack the ram:

Garret cries out to Zane in the wind whipping past as they fly and says, "Well? I don't really want to be dropped in that pile of orcs. Maybe we should see how the elementals do holding the bridge?"

Beri gives up on casting spells and takes flight, closing a little more than half the distance to the boats.
The water elementals continue to chase down the boats.

Over the ring Bosk says, Wall team, gather to me. I will teleport us closer to the ship.

Beri had an interesting idea. Think we can route the two armies next to each other? Let them fight themselves?.

Tink goes along with Bosk's teleportation. Once at their destination she uses her staff to start another summoning spell.

The Astral Deva is already halfway along the wall, and with it's fly speed can run at 400ft in a straight line. Starting at 160ft, it ends up at 560ft - still 160ft short of the ships.

The Ghaele Azata may not be able to fly in this form, but it has something better: greater teleport at will. It teleports 360ft past the ships.

Bridge
Restlin dismisses his wall of force while his air elementals divebomb the half-orcs on the bridge again. After the first one swings through all but 2 half orcs are cleared from the bridge. The second one knocks the other 2 off. While others still harass the half orcs in the water.
The air elementals manage to set many of the half orcs far back. The 4 front most earth elementals slam into the ram, but after their attack the ram is still standing.
Zane continues to hovering keeping watch talking with Garret.
Garret agrees that there is no place for them on the bridge so the 2 keep lookout for the boats.
Sesha has her witchfire makes her invisible as she watches the bridge.

The ram slams into the nearest elemental. (33 vs AC; 44 damage after DR)
The 3 half orcs on either side of the ram also continue to attack the front most elementals. All miss save for 1. (23 vs AC; 12 after DR)

Boats

Beri informs the other team they might be heading their direction.
Bosk wonders if they can chase the boats all the way to the bridge. The fortress is generally square so they’d have to chase it about a mile around two corners (quarter mile to corner, half a mile down side of fortress, quarter mile to bridge). He then uses magic to help everyone close in on the boats.
Tink summons more help.

The party has caught up with the ship again. A few barbarians have already scaled the wall, but are caught in a fight with the monks who were guarding this section. They’re still in the same formation; one boat right up against the wall, the second one further back providing ranged assistance with archers.

(I’m throwing out the map, it isn’t particularly useful for the running battle this has turned into)
Everyone’s currently at the same position as the boats, except for Tink’s summons who are 160 feet behind and 360 feet ahead of the boat.

Restlin's earth elementals pound the ram into splinters (there's zero chance the 8 attacks from the elementals don't cross the 200HP mark). His air elementals keep up the same routine as last time and swoop the new line of half-orcs off the bridge.

Air elemental 1: 24 slam damage
Air elemental 2: 22 slam damage

All attacks get reflex DC 29 for half, and another DC 29 reflex or they get swooped up and dropped.

The other 5 air elementals keep harassing the half-orcs in the water.

3: 18 damage
4: 16 damage
5: 22 damage
6: 20 damage
7: 19 damage

Restlin casts a silent image spell, making the following message appear in big, black letters above the battle:

"KNOW WHEN TO CUT YOUR LOSSES, DUDES. WE CAN DO THIS ALL DAY."

"Hovering here is pointless, want us to go find the others and the ships they're chasing around?" Over the rings, because the smashing taking place below them is making a load of noise.....

Depends on response, either continue hovering or flying off at "run" speed to reach the other side at 360'.

I will summon more water elementals to attack from below, unless someone has a better idea. At least if the boats flee the elementals can follow, but if someone has an idea of how we can anchor these boats I'm all ears

Beri starts summoning three more elementals, unless someone has a better suggestion that would keep the noats stationsary

Tink finishes her summons and brings an Elder Air Elemental into play. She directs it to position itself in front of the top of one of the ladders (to prevent anyone from climbing past it).

The Astral Deva flies 100ft closer (to be only 60ft away from the 2nd boat) and casts Holy Smite on the deck. The Azata places an invisible barrier in the way of the ships.

Tink then tries to slow down ship #1 by taking out its mast.

------------------
Astral Deva
Move: Fly 100ft
Standard: Cast Holy Smite on the deck of ship #2. 20ft radius. All evil creatures take 23pts damage and are blinded for 1 round (Will Save vs DC20 halves damage and negates blindness). All neutral creatures take 11pts damage (Will Save vs DC20 for half)

Ghaele Azata
Standard: Cast Wall of Force 300ft ahead of the ships. 130ft long sticking out perpendicular to the wall, 5ft off the top of the water. Invisible. Hardness 30. HP 260

Tink
Move: Put staff away
Standard: Cast Disintegrate on the bottom of the mast of Ship #1. Hits ranged Touch AC41. "When used against an object, the ray simply disintegrates as much as a 10-foot cube of nonliving matter. Thus, the spell disintegrates only part of any very large object or structure targeted."

Sesha continues to watch the gate, looming over it in her silver dragon form. Still invisible, she watches for magic threats just a little longer. Right now the elementals had it covered, but she would hate to leave only for them to be dispelled.

Her witchfire throws a ranged touch attack against the battering ram, hitting touch AC26 for 29 fire damage.

(What is the construction of the ram?)

New Ram: -

Beri summons more water elementals.

Bosk goes underneath the ship.

Tink sends in her summons, puts up a barrier, and disintegrates the mast. The sail falls to the deck, sending barbarian sailors scrambling.

Wyarr isn’t sure what to do.

Between the lost mass, the blade barrier damage, and the pounding the water elemental is doing the first ship starts to founder. It isn’t destroyed, but it’s in pretty bad shape; those in it are mostly focused on bailing water and it will probably sink with another good hit.

The second boat has all hands on deck rush to the side and fire a stream of arrows at the elemental in the water. With about 20 barbarians firing they manage to bring it down.

Three more water elemental appear under the water. Their job is clear and they join the others in demolishing any boats that they see If the first boat sinks they will move to the second boat, keeping deep enough to obscure vision and making it harder to hit while moving. Meanwhile, Beri starts summoning another set.

Restlin is disappointed in these half-orcs. I mean...know when you're beaten, right?

Anyway, he decides not to mess with a good thing. His elementals keep doing what they've been doing.

Two air elementals swoop new half-orcs off the bridge. The rest harass the ones in the water.

The earth elementals advance on the new ram. I'm assuming they'll need to move forward, so I'm just rolling single slam attacks for the front 4 elementals.

1: 20 damage
2: 21 damage
3: 17 damage
4: 21 damage

The rest of the earth elementals are backup/living wall.

Restlin briefly wonders if the half-orcs can read. Maybe he's going about this the wrong way. He doesn't have an illusion spell that includes audio, and surprisingly neither does his azata summons. Oh well. Guess these half-orcs get to figure things out on their own.

Sesha has her witch fire attack the ram with fire. (OOC: it is made of wood)
Garret hangs back as they fly around the castle, waving at Restlin and the monks.
Zane opines that they should hang back for a bit in case Restlin runs out of spells.
Restlin keeps up the tactics that were working. He wonders if the Half-Orcs can’t read and realizes neither he nor his Azata have auditory illusion spells.

The Half-Orc that avoided getting sucked off the bridge is joined by 5 other Half-Orcs. He makes a full attack on the nearest elemental while the other 5 make single attacks.

Half orc with full attack (33 vs AC; 12 damage; miss; miss)

The first of Restlin's elementals fall (#1 is dead). Another moves up to take its place. The three elementals up front perform a full attack, the one who moved up performs a standard attack.

Damage from earth elementals to ram: 21, 29, 29, 25, 24, 28, 24

Meanwhile, the air elementals keep up their shtick as well.

Two on bridge do 20 slam damage each, reflex DC 29 for half and another to avoid being sucked up in the whirlwind. They continue dropping picked up half-orcs into the water.

Five air elementals over the water continue picking up and dropping half-orcs away from the shore. It's a dirty move, Restlin realizes. He'll call the air elementals harassing the swimming half-orcs off as soon as they indicate they're retreating or surrendering.

Damage from air elementals: 17, 17, 23, 20, 27 - Reflex DC still 29

The far wall.. meaning the one on the other side of a fortress a half mile away, and a full mile if we have to run around the circumference? Any chance you have some short cut for us to get there? Oh, and is that where our friends are already fighting?

With Bosk being underwater, Tink relays over the link: "More boats attacking on the far side. We'll see you there". She's quite sure he has all manner of ways of getting over there "If you have a teleport prepared you might even be able to bring some of those water elementals with you"

Tink has a teleport spell ready to so can quickly transport herself, Beri, Wyaar, air elemental, deva, azata and gnome to the destination provided.

Bosk grins under water. You know we too well. Beri, have your elementals come to me. I will teleport them over and then they should still be able to attack while the enemy is off guard (this round).

I will wait until you all arrive before I make the jump. When you get there, tell me where the ships are relative to the original ship that was against the wall so I know where to safely land that will provide the greatest tactical advantage.

ooc Assuming it is deep enough, I will position us under the closest ship.

One of Restlin’s elementals falls and another moves up to take its place. Between all the attacks the 3rd Ram is destroyed.
The 2 air elementals manage to sweep the bridge clear of half-orcs this time while the others keep pressuring those in the water. Several more half-orcs in the water die.
Zane continues to hover.

Sesha looks to join the boat party. There are no boats visible, since there’s a fortress and walls between her and the boats, but she knows generally where they are and can fly in that direction (It’s about 1000 feet away).

Garret pretends to control the half-orcs as they die

A new ram moves up to take the place of the old ram and 6 more half-orcs fill the bridge. The 6 half-orcs continue to attack the 2 lead elementals.

Boats

Beri asks if there’s a fast way to get there.

Tink is all ready to teleport, but then realizes she’s never seen the other side of the fortress even in passing. The only description she’s able to get from the gnome is, ”Um… just like this wall but on the other side?” Eventually she’s able to get enough details but it wastes some time.

Wyarr is ready to be teleported.

Bosk is all ready to teleport precisely under one of the ships, but the vague description isn’t anywhere close to accurate enough for that.

The party arrives to an already pitched battle on the walls. About 20 monks are fighting about 30 Barbarians; the enemy army has a camp on the far side of the moat and one of the ships is shutting troops back and forth while another maintains the ladders and the third provides covering fire.

"You guys wanna go help with the boats? I've got this under control. Maybe leave Garret to watch my back in case they're sending in sneaky folks too."

The front four elementals attack the new ram.

1: 25 & 29 damage
2: 27 & 23 damage
3: 30 & 25 damage
4: 24 & 25 damage

Meanwhile, the two bridge air elementals continue sweeping.

1: 24 damage, reflex DC still 29 for half + to avoid being swept up
2: 19 damage

The ones in the water also continue making sure the half-orcs don't make it back to shore.

1: 21 damage
2: 19 damage
3: 25 damage
4: 17 damage
5: 25 damage

He continues to be ready to call off the air elementals as soon as the half-orcs surrender or retreat.

When he arrives he sends his water elementals into the water and under the boats, making sure that at least one is completely covered under the center of each boat.
In any case, he will summon another set of 3 elementals to aid in the battle

Tink has her Air Elemental immediately start to do fly and attack one of the ladders. She asks it to position itself across the top of the ladder to prevent no more barbarians from climbing aboard. It may put the elemental in harms way however.

The Ghaele Azata casts a flame strike down on one of the ships, positioning it close enough to strike the mast. The Astral Deva targets the same ship with a Holy Smit

Ooc: I do not see a link to a new map, so I am going to assume Bosk teleported somewhere in the right vacinity.

The invisible Bosk holds his breath and swims under one of the ships and attaches a feather token anchor underneath it. ( If two or more boats are close by he places it under the furthest of the boats).

If Bosk is too far away or for some reason did not teleport over he moves as close as he can as quickly as he can.

Garret asks how the others are doing over the rings, observing Restlin’s elementals are doing their jobs against the half-orcs.
Restlin suggests Zane and Sesha help with the boats but that they leave him Garret as a back-up just in case
Zane drops Garret off to play bodyguard duty for Restlin. The dragon takes off full speed to the boat.
Sesha teleports using her boots to where the others are.
Restlin continues to direct his elementals. The frontmost elementals attack the ram but it is still standing. His air elementals sweep the bridge and then buzz the water, killing many of the half-orcs in the water.


The Ram takes aim at the nearest elemental (nat 1 = miss)
The Half Orcs on the bridge all make single attack against the front most elementals

Boats
Wyarr flies over to the boats

Beri sends his water elementals to the water.

Tink has her summons destroy ladders and flame strike the nearest boat.

Bosk dives into the water and tries to anchor one of the boats.

The barbarians on the wall closest to the ladders immediately turn and attack the elemental as does the ship of archers below. They’re able to destroy it, allowing the boat by the wall to replace the destroyed ladders.

Boat 1 (at wall with ladders) 48 damage
Boat 2 (archer boat) 0 damage, anchored
Boat 3 (reinforcement boat) 0 damage

Zane continues to fly towards the Boat side.
If he reaches the area, he'll unleash a lightning breath weapon down the length of a ladder, trying to destroy it and kill the climbers.
If not, He continues to fly at the 360' speed

Haste for 13 more rounds for those Zane cast it on.

Restlin's earth elementals destroy the ram (even with all nat1s on damage it'll be a pile of splinters).

The two whirlwinding elementals on the bridge do 22 and 15 damage. Reflex for half damage and to avoid getting swooped is still 29.

The elementals in the water continue their harassment campaign.

1: 16 damage
2: 16 damage
3: 24 damage
4: 27 damage
5: 13 damage

Ditto on the reflex 29.

Restlin reaches into his pocket and fishes out an elven-bread sandwich Zeoll gave him recently at the Sea Dragons' party. He breaks it in half and hands one to Garret. He munches on the other one.

"I told Zeoll it'd be better with bacon. There's enough sprouts on this thing to make it more of a salad than a sandwich. Not bad, though."

Restlin's keen eyes sweep the battlefield, making sure he's not missing anything.

Perception: 53 (Restlin has permanent see invisible and arcane sight)

With one elemental having fallen getting into place the other three proceed to attack their ships while maintaining cover underneath the center of the boat. The new three elementals spawn in the water behind the farthest ship so that only that ship would have line of sight to them and start attacking (elemental 3 attacking ship 3, elemental 4 attacking ship 4, and elementals 5-8 attacking ship 5... assuming ship 3 is closes and ship 4 is farthest)

Beri then proceeds to summon a lightning storm.

The Air Elemental has gone back to where it came from. That's ok. It did an alright job.

The Ghaele Azata shifts into a light form.

The Astral Deva sends a holy smite onto whichever boat looks to have the most barbarians aboard.

If any of the boats are still floating Tink will cast a disintegrate spell just above the waterline

---------------
Astral Deva: Cast Holy Smite on the deck of the same ship. 20ft radius. All evil creatures take 27pts damage and are blinded for 1 round (Will Save vs DC20 halves damage and negates blindness). All neutral creatures take 13pts damage (Will Save vs DC20 for half)

Disintegrate: When used against an object, the ray simply disintegrates as much as a 10-foot cube of nonliving matter. Thus, the spell disintegrates only part of any very large object or structure targeted.

Restlin breaks out an Elven sandwich and shares it with Garret while his elementals do their thing.
The 4th ram gets destroyed. The air elementals clear the bridge yet again before seeing their brethren attack those in the water, a few more half-orcs die and the elementals keep the rest from reaching shore.

A 5th ram wheels itself up to the bridge but the half-orcs try something else this time. The ram does not advance to where the earth elementals are and instead stops just short of the bridge. 8 half-orcs advance to meet the elementals and attack them.

Garret accepts the sandwich noting he was about to ask for snacks.

The 8 half orcs attack the lead elementals. 2 attack elemental 2 while the others attack elemental 3.
Elemental 2 takes (38, 24 vs AC; 17, 16 damage after DR)

Sesha arrives and breaths on the ladders and boat by the wall.

Zane does the same.

Bosk does…?

Beri’s elementals tear apart boat 5.

Wyarr pegs the ladder boat with an arrow.

Tink puts a big hole at the waterline of one of the boats.

Between the breath weapons of two dragons and the elemental boat 3 is looking pretty bad. Wyarr’s arrow thunks into it with enough force to make the whole thing start to fall apart. The final boat, now with a hole in it, mostly has the barbarians desperately try to seal it, bail water, and generally try to keep the boat afloat. The barbarians on the wall realize their siege is over and try to kill as many of their hated gnome opponents as possible.

Boat 1 (at wall with ladders) 48 damage
Boat 2 (archer boat) 0 damage, anchored, flooding

"Well look at that. They can learn after all..."

The elder earth elementals also have a 15' reach, so they should get AoOs as the half-orcs advance. Probably should have noted that earlier...my loss!

#1: Nat 1
#2: Hit AC 31 for 25 damage
#3: Hit AC 37 for 22 damage
#4: Hit AC 39 for 17 damage

The air elementals attack first, but this time they sweep the bridge until every half-orc is gone.

Reflex DC still 29. The elementals will sweep the half-orcs off the bridge until they're all gone. The remaining air elementals continue to harass the ones stuck in the water.

The earth elementals hold position. The four in front ready full attacks on anything that comes in range.

Zane does a fly by attack on one of the Barbarians on the wall....

He misses and over the rings, "Guess I should have practiced that, for a first try, it was ugly..... I think I'll drop that from my regular style."

Really truly the first time Zane has tried a fly-by attack....
Zane stops above a group of the barbarians, with in his reach, but out of normal reach for them....

Now that the ship is anchored Bosk once again casts blade barrier (using a level 7 pearl of power to recall it, if that isn't allowed he will use a hero point) and casts it is a radius the hits both boats.

Hit both boats for 53 damage.

Restlin has his elementals do their bridge sweeping / harassing of the half-orcs in the water strategy that has been working so far. The first 2 manage to clear the bridge and the rest manage to kill some more of the half-orcs floating in the water.
Garret wonders if the Half-Orcs are suicidal or learning.


8 more half-orcs step up to the bridge taking full damage from all the readied attacks and AOOs before focusing their attacks on elder elemental 3 and 4

All of the boats are destroyed. The monks are holding against the barbarians on the wall; the rest float in the moat.

Restlin decides to not sweep the bridge. If these half-orcs were so desperate to fight to the last man, he'd help them along.

All the air elementals swoosh around the water harassing half-orcs

#1: 20 damage
#2: 21 damage
#3: 19 damage
#4: 19 damage
#5: 20 damage
#6: 21 damage
#7: 19 damage

All air elementals can double-move as whirlwinds, giving them 200' of movement. Reflex save for half and to avoid being sucked up is still 29.

An earth elemental moves up to replace the destroyed one and makes a single attack, hitting AC 37 for 26 damage. The other three up front make full attacks.

#1: Hit AC 32 and 36 for 16 and 22
#2: Hit AC 43 and 48 (nat20, confirm 39) for 18 (36 if crit) and 28
#4: Hit AC 42 and 38 for 29 and 27

Restlin also decides that those half-orcs in the back are no longer safe. He finds the biggest clump of half-orcs he can see, then pulls out his maximize rod and sends a chain lightning spell down on them. The lightning does 108 damage to up to 19 targets. Reflex save DC 40 for half damage to the first target. DC is 38 for the rest.

"Garret, I'm not sure, but I think we're about to find out," is Restlin's reply to his friend's question.

Beri, still in whirlwind form, starts to pick up the barbarians and toss them into the water to clear the wall, while his elementals clean up any remaining water threats. Beri will also throw a lightning bold down on any target still standing on the wall.

Bosk surfaces for some air before diving into the water to retrieve whatever he can from the bottom, including the anchor, warriors weapons, other worldly ale, etc. It might only be temporary, but the last time the Iron Adventurers used a feather token anchor it killed a demo god.

The Astral Deva gets ready to smite again, but Tink is quick to interject "The monks might be neutral and be injured by it!"

Garret realizes that his sandwich is gone so he starts looking around the battlefield for anything new coming towards the bridge. He sees just a seemingly ceaseless army of half-orcs approaching.

Restlin decides to change up tactics. He doesn’t sweep the bridge and instead just sends his air elementals to harrass the fighters in the water while the earth elementals engage the half-orcs on the bridge. He also Hurls chain lightning at some of the advancing half-orcs.

Some of the Half-Orcs in the water die. None of the ones on the bridge do nor did any who were hit by lighting.

The 8 half-orcs on the bridge all make full attacks against the earth elementals they are facing focusing their fire on the lead 2 like usual. Both Elder Elementals are still standing after the attack though the 4th one looks much worse for the wear.

New Ram: -

Zane throws a barbarian off the wall.
Beri does the same, but as a whirlwind.
Wyarr makes the point that they should take a prisoner so that they can prove the orb is gone.
Bosk dives underwater to collect things.
Tink call for surrender.

None of the barbarians listen to Tink’s call; it seems when you just respawn there’s little reason to surrender and be stuck in prison. There are still some on the wall, but now heavily outnumbered by the Monks and they’re getting taken down.

Respawn? Restlin feels like he missed something important.

"Where are all these things coming from, anyway?" He ponders Zane's question and inspects the bridge. Anything he can destroy to bring the thing down, or at least weaken it to the point where 700k+ lbs of earth elemental will bring it down?

Knowledge, Engineering: 29

Meanwhile, elementals keep doing what they're doing. The air ones swoosh around in the water, smacking and vacuuming:

#1: 23 damage
#2: 13 damage
#3: 24 damage
#4: 21 damage
#5: 17 damage
#6: 16 damage
#7: 22 damage

Reflex DC still 29

Then, the front four earth elementals full attack the half-orcs in front:

#1: Nat 20(confirm 38) and 30 for 24 (40 if crit) and 22 damage
#2: Hit AC 37 and 42 for 28 and 27 damage
#3: Hit AC 46 and 44 for 25 and 22 damage
#4: Hit AC 46 and 38 for 25 and 25 damage

He hopes there's a way to bring the bridge down, but if nothing else he can delay these guys a long time until his friends destroy all the boats/barbarians on the other side. At least their forces won't be split.

In the meantime, he swaps his maximize rod for a swift one and sends two fireballs out. His targets are the rams (two different ones) since fireballs catch stuff on fire, but he'll be happy to catch as many half-orcs in them as possible.

Both fireballs do 34 damage each. Reflex DC is 32.

Restlin's still invisible and hovering just off the ground. The poor Lillend Azata is still playing Yakity Sax.

Tink just tries to steer clear of the mess that the others are making of the barbarians.

She looks out over the ocean to see if any more ships are approaching.

Zane asks Restlin if he can destroy the bridge.
Garret points out that it is a nice bridge.
Restlin looks for something that would help him take down the bridge while swapping his rods and sending 2 fireballs down on the ram. (OOC: there appears to only be a single ram left amidst a sea of Half-Orcs) Restlin figures if he can do enough damage he could bring down the bridge but the stone will be resistant to damage.

His air elementals continue to harry the half-orcs in the water. Only one remains after this most recent pass.

Meanwhile his earth elementals tear into those on the bridge. Half Orc 49 dies as does 51 but 2 more show up to take their place.

His fireball hits the ram twice and 30 half orcs surrounding it. A number of the Half Orcs die including 5 of the ones leading the charge. 5 new half orcs show up to take their place.

3 of the Half Orcs make full attacks, while the 5 newcomers make single attacks.

Elder Elemental 4 (5 hits - 37 vs AC; 32 vs AC; 25 vs AC; 30 vs AC; 27 vs AC; 6 , 12 , 8 , 11 , 9 damage after DR)
Elder Elemental 5 (3 hits - 25 vs AC; 37 vs AC 37 vs AC; 6; 15 ;9 damage after DR)

The remaining half orcs around the ram start beating on it putting out the fires.

Restlin counts 33 dead half-orcs. What a waste of life.

"Ok, think that's enough Yakity Sax for now," he says to his Lillend summon. "Seems gratuitous now." He sighs a bit when he sees the half-orcs cluster around the ram, trying to put it out. "Does everyone in this world refuse to learn from their mistakes? Guess they don't have to when they just keep coming back to life. Sooner we get home, the better."

He swaps out his swift rod for his maximize rod again and sends his last fireball at the ram w/ the clustered half-orcs. 60 damage, reflex 38 for half.

One earth elemental steps forward to take the place of the fallen one. It makes a single attack, but whiffs it (nat 1).

The remaining three earth elementals make full attacks.

#1: Hit AC 33 and 35 for 29 and 27
#2: Hit AC 38 and 33 for 30 and 26
#3: Hit AC 39 and 39 for 22 and 28

The air elementals finish off the one in the water, then get back to swooshing them off the bridge and into the water again.

#1: 26 damage
#2: 25
#3: 19
#4: 19
#5: 18
#6: 22
#7: 20

Reflex DC still 29.

Gather round, and I will take everyone over to the bridge and we can regroup. Before we go, can someone give the monks a way to communicate with us, in case the need us to return?

Bosk quickly checks with the monks to make sure they do not need anything else and explains to them how the group can communicate before reuniting the Iron Dragons by the bridge.

Zane flies back to the bridge side.
Restlin signals for his Azata to can the Yakaty Sax. He asks if everyone in this world refuses to learn anything and wishes be rid of this world as fast as he can.
He drops his final fireball on the ram and the half-orcs.
Between the earth elementals and the air elementals all the half-orcs on the front line of the bridge die. 2 of them get finished off after falling in the water.
Garret dangles his feet over the side, clapping as Restlin sends another fireball screaming into the Half Orcs below.
Wyarr asks how things are going over on the bridge side.
Beri offers to join bosk in going to the bridge.
Bosk teleports everyone over to the bridge. He was able to find items from the barbarians, but they were already turning to dust - it seems their gear is considered part of them and vanishes with the corpses.
Tink has no way for the gnomes to contact them remotely.

The leader of the siege crew manning the ram manages to make his Reflex save and the ram only takes half damage. (natural 20)
A number of half-orcs rise up to take the places at the head of the battle lines facing off against the elder earth elementals. They all make single attacks and both elementals are still standing afterward though elder elemental 5 is looking fairly worse for the wear.

3 attacks hit Elder Elemental 5 (34 ;30 ;40 ; vs AC; 12 ; 8 ; 9 - damage after DR)

When the others arrive at the bridge side, they find Restlin directing the battle below and throwing magic while Garret sits on the edge of the parapets, feet dangling over the side. He waves to the others and says, "Did you come to watch Restlin, too?"

Obviously attacking these half-orcs wasn't accomplishing much. Restlin takes aim at the ram and uses the last charge on his maximize rod to send three scorching rays at it.

Hit touch AC 27, 32, and 26. Each ray does 24 fire damage, no save.

He directs the air elementals to clear the bridge again. As many elementals woosh over it as needed to gather up all the half orcs. The rest harass the ones in the water.

Damage from each air elemental: 25, 22, 19, 20, 17, 21, 18. Reflex DC still 29 for half damage and to avoid getting swooped up in the whirlwind. Picked up idiots are dropped off the bridge.

With the path clear (hopefully), the earth elementals all charge at the ram, though only the first four can attack.

Beri looks across the bridge and sees a pile of half orcs.
Hmm, looks like they have a few more people than we do. How about we get a storm giant out here to help?
He then calls forth a storm giant to aid them.

Garret continues to sit with his legs dangling. He asks his friends if they came to watch Restlin too
Restlin alters tactics. He sends scorching rays down at the ram. He then has his air elementals attempt to clear the bridge again. All the half-orcs formerly on the bridge die. Whether when they were picked up initially or in the water later. Restlin then commands his earth elementals to charge the ram. They destroy the last ram. On its destruction there is a change in the half-orcs. A single clarion call rings out from somewhere below and the half-orcs begin to beat a hasty retreat.
Wyaar sends some arrows into the retreating half-orcs attempting to deal nonlethal damage.
Beri begins summoning a storm giant.
Sesha wonders if they’re missing anything important.
Zane watches.
Bosk helps Sesha look about and consider the situation.

One of the gnomes on the wall turns towards the main keep. Anyone who looks with him sees a flashing light blinking in a pattern - it must be how they pass messages across the fortress. ”There is no sign of further assault by either faction. They’ll spend time rebuilding their siege weapons before they come again. Thank you, strangers. The elders want to see you.”

Restlin takes a moment to thank all his summons, including the Lillend, before letting them return home.

"Would that all our enemies just line up like that, our jobs would be much easier," is all he has to say on the matter, but he's sporting a pretty big grin. "Let's go see what those elders want."

Beri changes back into human form and joins the others.
Looks like we missed quite the fight over here. I'm surprised that the humans and orcs didn't try to stop eachother. Well, if the elders want to see us we probably shouldn't keep them waiting.

Beri instructs the summons to assist in any way they can before they disappear, figuring that their size and strength may come in handy.

Is there any chance you could teach them the spell you used to trap enemies and bury them undetectable underground? Then might not fear death, but the threat of eternal imprisonment might just have an effect.

Wyaar offers healing to the monks and channels 27 hp into those that take him up on it.
Beri reverts back to human form and notes they missed quite a fight. He also remarks about how the half-orcs and humans didn’t fight each other. He uses his summons to help with some minor repairs and moving debris. He remarks that he doesn’t want to keep the elders waiting.
Sesha shrugs and wonders if things will calm down once the artifact is taken away.
Bosk asks Sesha if she could teach the gnomes the spell she used to imprison enemies underground suggesting that might be an appropriate deterrent.

The gnomes escort you to a smaller chamber than the one before. The old green skinned gnome sits alone on a chair by a small fire. The rest of the gnomes give you your space.

The old gnome beckons for you to sit down. He says, “Apologize I must. Asked of me what the Orb of Chaos you did. Forthcoming I wasn’t but Trust had to be earned.”

“Worth, you have proven. Wars not make one great yet great warriors you all are. What’s more spare the lives of your enemies you tried and regret the pointlessness of the assault you did.”

He pauses for a moment to stare into the fire and then sets his gaze on each one of you in turn.
“Orb of Chaos it is called...What is more chaotic than disrupting nature’s course? Death is a natural part of life yet prevent the natural order the orb does. Not possible to die from natural causes while the orb remains here. Those that fall in battle will never rest either. Turns the fallen to ash the orb does. Uses the energy released to reincarnate the fallen as well. Endless waves of bodies for the meat grinder the orb produces. Not meant to be this way, things are, therefore decided to grant your request I have.”

He takes another pause and says
“Ask me what you will before you go. Soon will I rest, yes, forever sleep. Earned it I have. Twilight is upon me, and soon, night must fall. That is the way of things or at least it will be, once gone the orb is. When 900 years old, you reach...look as good, you will not.”

Beri thinks of whether he has any questions for the elder.
As you didn't tell us everything at first, are you able to tell us more now about why and how this place came to be? Was this set up as a punishment or an experiment to see if peace would ever be attained? And who would have set this realm with such rules? Is there a greater power here that created this Wold?

"I mean, I won't look that good in 879 years, but I'd bet money that Sesha will be much better looking..."

"The Watcher had mentioned he may be able to come and assist with the ritual we need to perform." Restlin looks around. Is The Watcher still here?

900 years was an astounding number. Even Elves died of old age. Sesha grins at Restlin.

"By that point, I think the only one of us who would still be around is Garret. Aren't you effectively immortal now?"

DM Hugh - The claiming of the orb 
Friday August 23rd, 2019 10:54:31 PM
Beri thinks if he has any questions before asking more about how the place came to be and what the point of it all was.

The gnome looks at Beri and says, “Said it has been, that long ago and far away 3 tribes existed in constant strife. Disruptive to all others they were so isolated from the rest they became. Perhaps someday they can return to the rest if tolerance can be learned. All I know of what you ask this is.”

Restlin comments over the rings about how he wouldn’t look that good in that period of time but Sesha is probably another story. He then asks about the watcher

As if on queue the Watcher does the trick of disengaging from a wall and becoming visible.

“I’m ready to depart whenever you are.” The watcher says to Restlin

Garret remains quiet but ponders the fate of those who dwell in this world once the orb is gone.

Zane waits to see if anything is asked of him. Usually he lets the others handle this sort of thing.

Sesha grins at Restlin. She points out that Garret may be the only one around in 900 years asking the monk if he is effectively immortal.

With no more questions and those that are asked answered the elder rings a small bell. The two gnomes who were guarding the gate when you first approached from the underground take you to where the orb of chaos is housed, sitting on its pedestal.

The female gnome looks at you and says, “The elder has said the orb is to be entrusted in your care and you are going to be taking it far from this place. Who among you will carry it?”

The watcher says, “I’ll guide you back to the portal through the underground paths once you are ready to go.”

Bosk shrugs his shoulders. I honestly do not know how long I will live. I fundamentally changes when I became an agent of vengeance. Unlike most living creatures, an outsider does not have a dual nature—its soul and body form one unit. When an outsider is slain, no soul is set loose. To my knowledge, there are no reports on one of us dying of old age...

I think we may be overthinking this. Elders, you have been with this orb for centuries what would you suggest is the best way to transport the orb safely? If I understand the orb's properties, am I correct that the watcher would be unaffected by it as they are outside the influence of natural life and death? And that the watcher by their very nature is trustworthy? That they couldn't have fulfilled their roll here if this wasn't the case?

DM Hugh - The orb 
Monday August 26th, 2019 10:55:31 PM
Tink looks at her hands and then at the orb and then to the others.
Bosk shrugs his shoulders and makes an observation about not knowing how long he will live considering his soul and body have become one.
Restlin volunteers to bear the orb
Zane says he was going to carry it but it seems opposed to his nature. He differs to Restlin as he is smarter.
Sesha says that it is a shame the orb will be consumed in the ritual for with it her and Restlin's lives could flame together.
Beri also has no idea about when he will die but given his ability to change appearance he figures he'll look good when it happens well up until the last 5 minutes. He then observes they may be overthinking things. He suggests the watcher may be uneffected by it and trustworthy so why couldn't the Watcher carry it.
Wyaar says he doesn't think the orb and he would like being in contact before abiding by what the group decides
Garret says that he wouldn't say he doesn't age he just doesn't feel it as much as the others do

One of the gnomes standing by the orb speaks up, "The watcher could bear the orb yes. However the death altering power of the orb seems to be related to where it is currently. When you move it from this realm it will still have power but it won't resonate the way it does here. One of you could take it or you could trust it to the Watcher. Either should work."

Restlin confirms he's willing to carry it, reasoning the Watcher is too valuable.

Tink assumes it is probably safe to touch or hold.

Garret steps back from Restlin, waiting to see if the mage priest will explode.

Sesha doesn't think Restlin will explode but has the healing spells ready to go just in case.

Beri suggests taking the orb should be ok as long as no one dies.

Wyaar detects evil on Restlin as he grabs the orb.

Restlin reaches out to take the orb and Restlin only: Highlight to display spoiler: {Holding the Heart of Chaos makes you feel vaguely angry and anxious. Thoughts are slightly more disorganized and odd tangents/associations happen, sometimes leading to novel new ideas.
}

With the heart of chaos in hand and the Watcher recruited you are able to quickly make it through the underground to the clearing with the gate where you originally arrived.

You activate the gate and step through to find Megaman, Chuck, Dock, the Custodian and Uthras waiting for you where you left them. You have collected the hearts of order, chaos, balance and evil. One final heart remains, 1 arch remains un-visited and 1 ritual participant remains unidentified.

The Custodian asks your group as you arrive, "What now?"

"It's the last one we have to find. Couldn't hurt to be a little extra cautious"

"Well, Custodian, it seems we must adventure into the final gate in search of the last two parts of the ritual. We need to locate the final Heart and the last participant to complete the Ritual to open the Prison so that the Power leak can be closed off, or rather opened up so it can be controlled rather than uncontrolled.
There have not been more troubles have there?"
Zane pulls out a couple Taur sized meals and offers those who have volunteered to help the Iron Dragons to help themselves. He then digs into one himself, sitting cross-legged as he starts to rest and recover....

Restlin holds onto the orb. His eyes flit about a bit as his thoughts rearrange themselves. He would love to sit and experiment with this thing. Who knows where it could lead? It's too valuable, though. He puts it with the rest of the orbs.

OOC: We're leaving the orbs behind, not taking them with us, right?

"I could use some time to regain spells too. I burned through most of my high-level ones to summon that army." He casts Mage's Magnificent Mansion to give everyone a comfy place to stay, sleep, eat, whatever. Obviously all their collected undead & constructs are invited as well.

When they arrive back, Garret starts to walk towards the other portal, but then turns at the last minute when Bosk mentions resting. He says, "Oh yes, of course." He starts salivating as Sasha prepares "the usual."

Beri eagerly agrees with the others on resting and recovering some spells
I agree, with all the moving around and giving chase I burned through summons faster than normal. Watcher, what can you tell us about the last portal? Has there been any change since we last talked? We don't want to unexpectedly end up in a war zone.

Bosk suggests they take some time to recover before heading out to the last arch.

Tink decides to check on the hearts to make sure nothing happened to them.

(OOC: As far as I knew you guys were carrying the hearts with you as you journeyed to the other realms once you started collecting them. Please tell me otherwise if that isn't the case)

Zane answers the Custodian's questions and asks a question of his own about anything changing with respect to the final world. He then starts pulling out some food.

Sesha contributes to Zane's offering by preparing a Hero's Feast

Restlin considers experimenting with the heart of chaos but figures it is too valuable so he puts it with the other hearts. He too echoes the calls for rest that others in the group have made. He does provide a magnificent mansion for his friends and allies to spend the night in.

Garret being a nonspellcaster is ready to hoof it to the next arch but seeing as everyone else is going to wait he salivates at the idea of partaking in the "usual" instead.

Beri also agrees about the need to rest and asks the Custodian some questions of his own.

Wyaar listens to what the Custodian has to say before partaking in the food and praying

(OOC: NPC recap - Watcher = construct man with gears from chaos world; Custodian = intelligent sphere of annihilation; Megaman = half undead / half construct from balance world; Chuck = human author from strange universe; Dock = formerly flying intelligent construct turned into a golem to help with the ritual; Uthras - undead paladin taken from order world )

The Custodian responds to Zane and Beri.

He says to Zane, "Nothing has really changed in the tower or the final portal of late."

To Beri he says, "There isn't really anything to report. It seems like things have been relatively calm for about 30 odd days and nights. That is really all I can tell."

The party has a feast and stay in Restlin's magical dwelling getting a good meal and a good night's rest. The next day you awake refreshed and ready to tackle whatever lies ahead.

Any last preparations before entering the final portal you have yet to visit?

Tink is happy that the hearts are staying with the party. Leaving them at the tower - virtually unguarded - would be asking for trouble.

When the nod is given, Tink will step through the final portal. The party are nearing the end of this challenge.

Garret eats the magical food, then eats some more. He lets out a huge belch and says, "Now there's room for more!" He starts eating until he passes out in a nice food coma, safe inside the mansion, but still at the massive table of food. His head falls into a plate of mashed potatoes, fortunately to the side, and he starts snoring.

Restlin smiles at his sleeping friend. He casts a quick telekinesis spell and picks up the sleeping halfling before guiding his sleeping body to one of the bedrooms. He casts a prestidigitation to clean the potatoes off his face, then pulls the blankets over him. Tomorrow may be tough. Best if the little dude is properly rested w/o a crick in his neck.

Beri finishes up his daily spell preparations, grabs a cup of coffee, and joins the group.
I think I'm about as prepared as I'm going to be. I wonder what kind of spiritual upheaval we are about to walk into. Somehow I doubt this is going to be a simple matter of right and wrong, and no doubt the last heart is somehow at the center of all this. If I recall, the last heart somehow embodies goodness, that might be worth considering as we see how things unfold and the roll the heart plays in this struggle of ideas..

That night Garret eats, eats some more, lets out a belch and then eats some more. Eventually he falls asleep in his mashed potatoes.
Restlin smiles at his sleeping friend telekinetically moving him to one of the bedrooms and then cleaning his face with magic.
Sesha observes Restlin interact with Garret and observes that one day he’ll have to deal with a half-drow that will be half his

The next morning…
Tink is happy that the hearts have been traveling with the party and they won’t have to worry about them being undefended. She stealthily and with sharp senses steps through the portal when the nod is given.
Zane steps into the portal, ready to play bodyguard once again.
Restlin wakes up, limbers up, casts all his dailies and follows Zane through the portal
Beri grabs a cup of coffee, finishes his spell preparations and joins the rest of the group. He says he’s prepared as well as he can be. He suggests that this won’t be a single matter of right and wrong and wonders what kind of upheaval they are about to walk into.

One by one you step through the portal…

When you emerge you are in a wooded area. You notice a little path near wear the arch exits out of.

Following it down you see a well, with a dim light at the bottom of the well.

You hear a chorus of voices of varying timber calling out.

"Do it!!!" a high pitched child like voice says

"You know you want to!" A rich silky feminine voice says

"Think of what you could achieve if you just reclaim what is yours." a man's voice with a tenor like timbre to it says

"Take it and become whole" A baritone chimes in

"Save your people." A very deep voice finishes.

Another voice responds to the chorus. "No, I created that artifact in order to gain peace for myself and my kingdom. I'm not going to throw everything away."

What ever could be going on at the bottom of the well?

Restlin wonders what ever could be going on at the bottom of the well. He looks down, trying to gauge the distance and see if anything's visible. Can they fit down there, or will they all need to shrink?

Garret looks around, steps closer to the well and away from the well. He is trying to determine if the sounds are really coming from inside the well or if it is some sort of distortion (Perception: 48).

Beri peers down the well to get an idea of how deep it is and whether he can see the sources of the voices, then addresses the rest of the party over their rings.
The way I see it, we have two options. We can announce our presence, or we can wait a minute or two and get a better idea of the people and their motives before becoming a third party to an already tense situation.

I suppose if we wanted to keep our presence unknown, it would have been better not to drop a skin and lights down the well. Still, the people sound distracted, and he mentioned an artifact.

Restlin wonders what is going on at the bottom of the well. He tries to gauge the distance in order to see if anything is visible.
Sesha casts dancing lights and sends the orbs of light slowly spinning down the well.
Garret looks around, stepping first closer to the well and then away from the well. He confirms the sounds are coming from the well.
Zane suggests they send Garret down to see what is going on down there as he is the least threatening looking.
Wyaar fishes a coin from his pocket and tosses it down. He tells the others he’s making a wish.
Beri says over the rings they can either announce their presence or wait a moment to get a better idea of the situation.
Bosk comments that if they wanted to remain hidden they probably shouldn’t have thrown things down the well.
Tink offers to go down and check it out.

As the light slowly glides down the well it reveals what appears to be chamber stretching further into the darkness, roomier than the shaft of the well itself. The well shaft is medium so large folks would have to be reduced to fit down it but the chamber at the bottom looks roomy enough.

Apparently some of the voices from the conversation you overheard at first have noticed Sesha’s dancing lights.

"Interlopers!!!" the high pitched child like voice says

"Who dares disturb us?" the rich silky feminine voice says

"I thought you agreed to come alone? You assured us your people would not be here" the man's voice with a tenor like timbre to it says

"Are they going to get in the way?" the baritone chimes in

"Just ignore them and proceed. You can deal with them after in the same fashion you used to deal with all who opposed you." the very deep voice finishes.

The other voice responds to the chorus, “I don’t see anything. Are you sure someone’s there? As you asked I did come alone so if someone is there they are not with me. With that being said, even if I did reclaim the artifact why should whoever they are perish for being in the wrong place at the wrong time? The only reason I’m even entertaining your offer is because of the threat to my city, but there has to be another way, right?”

I can be pretty much any size needed, but let's give them a beat before heading down to make sure we don't make things worse.

Beri calls down the well.
We aren't here to cause trouble and have no intention of opposing anyone. We were just passing by, and heard people stuck at the bottom of the well.

Would you feel more comfortable if we were to send someone down so you can see we are no threat, or would you prefer we keep our distance up here?

If our presence here is going to lead to problems we can also leave. That said, if there is a threat to a city, perhaps we can be of service? In our homeland we've been called on to protect the people of several different cities form all kinds of threats. As long as we are on the side of good we try to led aid where we can.

"Think that thing where we stomp loudly at first, then do it quieter to make it sound like we walked away is a good idea? I bet we could pull it off."

Over the ring, she adds.

"I can send down some prying eyes. Its a nifty spell that makes little invisible peepers. Worth it?"

Monday September 9th, 2019 7:07:07 AM
Garret asks if anyone sees any evil otherwise they might have happened upon a wheat transaction for all they know.

Restlin suggests the reasonable person needs help and they go down and investigate.

Zane looks to Bosk and asks about becoming smaller. Ensuring that his fellow taur has the ability to shrink to go down there.

Beri calls out down to the well. He explains they were passing by and heard voices down the well. He explains they were just passing by and were planning on opposing anyone. He asks if the people down the well would be happy if they sent someone down or would they like to come up. Beri also offers their help explaining some of what they did before.

Sesha suggests sending some prying eyes down or using subterfuge to make it look like they go away

Bosk disagrees with Sesha’s suggestion saying he doesn’t want to start their interaction off with lies and deceipt

Wyaar waits for a response to Beri.

Tink nods in approval to Beri’s statements.

The chorus does not seem to like what was shouted down.

The high pitch voice cries out, “Go Away. We don’t want any.”

The silky seductive voice says, “Yes, you would be a hindrance to what we are trying to accomplish here.”

The tenor says, “Everything’s perfectly alright now. We’re fine. We’re all fine here now. Thank you. How are you?”

The baritone says, “We have things in hand. I suggest you go help someone else.”

The deep voice says, “Your presence is problematic. Please vacate.”

The female voice says, “If you folks are who you say you are and not some kind of trick then maybe you are the other option I’ve been searching for. Please, come down. I’d like to learn more about the cities you’ve protected in your homeland. We don’t get many foreigners so it never occurred to me to seek help from abroad as we’ve cultivated a difficult reputation in the past. Though if you haven’t heard of it then maybe you are from a long way away.”

It sounds like it's the person in need is requesting our assistance, so we are sending a representative down. While we are happy to tell you about our past deeds, please know that we will also want to know both sides of what is going on, as well as what exactly you mean when you say you "cultivated a difficult reputation in the past."

Beri addresses the rest of the party over their rings.
Hopefully by adding that last part the others down there will be more willing to hear us out, as well as make sure nothing is left out regarding their reputation. We don't want to find out that they have a history of backtracking on promises or of deceiving people.

The druid then transforms into an air elemental and prepares to take the dimensional door down should things go bad.

Tink surmises that one of them is seeking aid. She suggests they venture down and see what is going on. She alternately offers to scout down first and report back. She looks down over the edge of the well and then slowly descends.
Restlin has faith in Tink’s ability to remain unseen. He lets her do her thing and prepares to dimension door down there should Tink get in over her head.
Garret was prepared to walk away when the last voice asked for help. He points out that the one person asks for help and they are clearly outnumbered but he’s willing to wait for Tink before heading down.
Zane reduces himself and Bosk when he asks for it. He prepares to drop down and give a lift to anyone else who needs it.
Wyaar clicks his heels together activating his flight and prepares to head down with the others.
Beri explains to the people in the hole that they are sending a representative down. He says they’ll tell them about their past deeds but he also wants to know both sides of what is going on as well as what was meant by that difficult representation. He explains to the other Iron Dragons over the rings why he was saying what he said and then prepares to descend the well in Air Elemental form.
Bosk makes sure his air walk is active and follows the others.

Tink descends the well.

She is joined by the others. Garret simply jumps down the well, excusing himself while the others fly down. Wyaar calls out, “Watch for falling halflings!” Beri puzzles over the rings if the people of this place know what a halfling even is. Zane curls his wings right before hitting the ground. Sesha returns to her normal size and feather falls down the well.

When they get to the bottom they see a medium human-sized woman on the shorter side with 4 gossamer wings coming out of her back. She has dark brown hair worn in a pixie cut. She is wearing a green outfit with a silver tiara. Near her on a pedestal sits what appears to be a heart carved out of stone inset with a gold locket.

Opposite her is: a tiny bug eyed being; an unnaturally beautiful long legged buxom woman with dark black eyes, pale skin, red lips and crimson locks; a creature that is unnaturally tall and slender with sharp claws and an unsettlingly blank face; a bald muscular creature with red eyes, sharp teeth and a scowl that crawls about on 4 limbs that bend in an unnatural way; and a massively obese creature that locomotes using many small legs and has two obese arms. It also has a grotesque face with a large prehensile tongue that occasionally darts out. It spits a glob of something on the ground.

The voices react to the Iron Dragons’ presence.

The tiny bug eyed creature says in a high pitch voice, “We told you to go away!”
The black eyed unnaturally beautiful woman says in a seductive tone, “Well they’re here now. I don’t think this is one of those instances where it’s the more the merrier.”

Somehow the unnaturally slender creature with the blank face says in a tenor tone, “I don’t suppose you’d believe we’ve got a reactor leak going on down here and you need to give us a few minutes to lock it down. It’s a large leak, very dangerous.” The creature has no mouth or face to speak of.



The creature with the unnaturally bent limbs and red eyes says in a baritone, “Just what we need. Some kind of tiny creature putting its nose where it isn’t wanted. We already have one tiny one down here and it is annoying enough as it is. I don’t think its friends will be any better either”

The obese creature says in a deep voice, “This is an invite only gathering. As we’ve previously informed you, your kind are not welcome here.”


The woman in the tiara with the gossamer wings says, “I, Queen Esmerald do formally invite, what’s your name dear (to Tink) and her companions down here to our discussion.”

She continues, “I’m more than happy to give you all an explanation as to what you just walked in on as well as why my land might not have the best reputation as the 2 subjects are intertwined. However I would like to know more about your past exploits.”

Tink smiles and gives a little bow "I'm Katinka, but most people just call me Tink. These are my friends..." Tink gestures to each of the party as she introduces them by name.

"Our past exploits? Well, your typical adventuring things mainly. Lots of travelling, meeting new people, fighting evil. That sort of thing"

Over the rings Tink lets the others topside know what is going on "Pssst! Restlin, there's a bit of an introduction session happening down here.

Wednesday September 11th, 2019 10:26:12 AM

Sesha considers the others coming down. Restlin couldn't see in the dark, so she maneuvers her dancing lights spell, spreading it out to make sure everyone can see just fine.

"Humans.", she says with a gruff demeanor, and spits a gob of phlegm right into the middle of the other creatures gob of phlegm. She winks at the Queen.

Garret is intrigued by the interesting creatures. He looks to each one as they speak, trying to respect them, but he bounces along and looks closely at the creature with four limbs and the obese one with many legs.

Restlin can see in the dark just fine, thank you (permanent darkvision).

With a poof, the Mendicant appears in everyone's midst. "Our past exploits? I don't think this room has the patience needed to hear all of them, tough crowd and all, but I can give the highlights! I am Restlin, Mendicant and servant of Wardd, god of luck. You've met Tink, our hard-nosed Justicar. We also have Bosk, Sesha, Zane, Garret, Beri, and Wyarr, noble paladin of Maab, the fey queen."

"Figured that might have some weight with this bunch. Don't let it go to your head."

"We are the Iron Dragons. We have slain illithid demigods, fought off undead invasions, cleansed an entire land stolen out of time of its corruption, and cured a giant space whale of her stomach ache. We have guided the richest city in the Wold back from economic collapse, sacrificed our favorite robes, befriended giant turtles, restored the honor of murdered parents, made friends of our enemies, been objects of worship for an entire crew of kobolds, and turned an evil, intelligent asteroid's brain into this!" He pulls Waddles out of a belt pouch, showing the rubber pig that was once a nerve cluster.

"We have ridden on the backs of dragons, wrestled dragons, slain the oldest and most powerful dragons, and even reunited a dragon with their grandma after attacking it with a straight razor." He puts Waddles away. "We are recognized everywhere in our world as a powerful force for all that is good and right, and we have a great time doing it.

"In short, we are kind of a big deal."

And I am Beriothian Galanodel, druid of Hook City. Hopefully we can find a way to be of service to everyone here.

The druid watches closely for any signs that what they are being told is anything other than the truth. He also keeps an eye out for the other party, and readies an action to cast reverse gravity should any of them decide violence is preferred to talking.

DM Hugh - Introductions all around 
Wednesday September 11th, 2019 10:56:02 PM
Tink introduces herself.
Sesha spits, then winks at the queen.
Garret shows great curiosity towards the strange creatures.
Restlin regales the group with the feats of the Iron Dragons.
Zane looks scary.
Wyarr admits they’re something of a big deal.
Beri joins the others and add his introduction to the rest.

Wyaar: Highlight to display spoiler: { all 5 of the strange looking entities radiate overwhelming evil. Queen Esmerald does not register as evil.}

Queen Esmerald seems to perk up a bit and asks, “That is an impressive introduction. With all those accomplishments I don’t suppose something like negotiating peace between a beleagured city and the army of undead who are threatening it be beneath you?”

The bug eyed creature calls out in a high pitched shout, “You don’t want their help.”
The black eyed beauty says seductively, “We can solve your problem in a way that is much more satisfying. Don’t you remember the way things used to be? Noone would dare stand against you. You could have that again and more.”

The blank faced horror says in his tenor, “So they call you guys Dragons and you’ve wrestled dragons, ridden dragons, reunited dragons and slain dragons. Seems like you guys got dragons on the brain. How are you guys against I don’t know Demons?”

The bent limbed baritone says, “A Justicar? I knew the tiny one would be trouble and they have a paladin too? This just keeps getting better and better. Your highness are you sure your current plight is one that can be solved using lawful means considering the reputation you’ve cultivated in the past?”

The obese creature says in its deep voice, “This place is getting rather crowded. I’m beginning to think maybe we should pull our offer. These folks may sound impressive but you know first hand what we are capable of Esmerald. Maybe you should be sure these newcomers are who they say you are. You wouldn’t want to regret betting on the wrong horse with so much at stake.”

Zane, does 2 things; first he designates the Queen as his target for Bodyguard and second, the more impressive one.
"Nah... We don't have Dragon's on the Brain....While we are collectively are known as The Iron Dragons. Personally, I'm known as the Bronze One."(Reduce Person is suppressed by dragon form, but still running) He finishes his spell and turns into a Large Bronze Dragon.
"And I don't think you really want to make us mad. And until we know the entire story, She falls under our protection since you outnumber her. If the numbers were the other way around, it'd be different."

"First hand what we are capable of? That's sounding like a threat to the Queen"

"I've been called far worse than trouble. But then again, only by troublemakers" Tink responds to the bent limbed one. She then looks to the Queen "We would happily lend our services to aid in peace negotiations"

Garret moves over and stares at the creature without a face that talks. He wonders how it does that.

Sesha - 102/202. AC 30 
Thursday September 12th, 2019 3:39:24 PM

"If anyone can see through a fair deal, its a Justicar, o' Queen."

Sesha thinks for a moment, then considers the fact they are a party of casters and large creatures squeezed into a small space literally right next to the enemy.

"We might be at a disadvantage. We are on their lands, and they know our measure, but we do not know the same."

She turns her gaze on the queen. Does she have adventuring gear? Weapons? Magical equipment? A component pouch? (Tink is always detecting.) She pokes a finger at Baritone. "Don't threaten ladies with their reputation. It's not proper. And among royalty, that goes double."

If something goes crazy and they are attacked, Sesha readies an action to teleport, with the Queen, to the top of the well.

Bosk turns to look at the other party. We have killed daemons and demigods, and we have worked with them. In our world daemons are inherently evil, yet we have also come across the exceptions and are capable of keeping an open mind. Although not daemons, two of us are outsiders.

I am Bosk DeOx, Agent of Vengeance for the goddess of revenge, holy servant to the god of life and death, dual citizen of the land of the living and the land of the dead, and an intermediary between the gods where death and unfulfilled vengeance overlap.

Although I do not know your situation, it sounds like we are uniquely qualified to help.

Demons... have we? I don't.... maybe? Bosk, do you remember? I suppose it's possible, when you start defending realms from evil demigods you start to lose track of things like that. But I can assure you that we are exactly what we claim to be. One of the perks of being a good guy, you don't have need of bluffing. Fortunately, that's also what makes ideal if you are serious about negotiating peace.

Beri listens to the others trying to persuade the queen to their side, and to what they choose not to bring up.

It seems to be we are tiptoeing around the obvious. It was asked whether your current plight is one that can be solved using lawful means considering the reputation you’ve cultivated in the past, yet nobody has mentioned either your past or why it wouldn't be solvable through legal means. Well, if that's the case we have no problem admitting we aren't the group for you. As pointed out we have a paladin and a justicar with us, we aren't about to go against what is righteous. But it is always better to walk in the light, and if anyone can help you though lawful means it would be us. So why don't you fill us in on what is going on, and we will let you know if we are the ones that can broker your peace.

Thursday September 12th, 2019 11:41:44 PM
Zane shows off his dragon form and declares the queen under their protection.
Tink offers their services.
Restlin is amused by the implied threats.
Garret continues to stare.
Sesha tries to take the measure of everyone and prepares to flee in case things go badly.
Bosk further introduces the group by means of explaining their dealings with Demigods and Daemons. He further explains that 2 of their number are outsiders and that he himself is a Grim Avenger and that their group is uniquely qualified to help.
Beri backs up that they are who they claim to be. He also questions the mysterious past of the queen and why the current predicament can’t be solved through legal means. He suggests she just tell them all what is going on and the dragons can figure out if they are the ones to broker this peace. He also thanks Bosk for filling in the details regarding their demonic encounter.
Sesha / Detect Magic : Highlight to display spoiler: {The queen radiates an aura of sanctuary}
Sesha notes that the queen does not carry any weapons nor component pouch. Her raiment looks like it was made to move around in but that it doesn’t even provide the protection that cloth or padded armor would. She also doesn’t appear to have anything magical on her save for the aura the bloodwitch noticed previously.

Esmerald looks at you and says, “Well this is rather embarrassing. You see I wasn’t always as I am now and neither were my people. How to put this, well this land was one of constant conflict. Those who dwelt here lived in constant conflict with one another in a brutal struggle of kill or be killed. My house led both my people and an army of the undead against the forces of the other beings that used to dwell here. My grandfather and father made a deal with the creatures you see before you in order to gain the power to turn the tide of the “Forever Wars� as we called them in our favor. When they died in combat, no less, I inherited their mantle, the undead army, their demon enchanted weapons and at the time I’m ashamed to say that I was hell bent on revenge. From a young age I trained in one thing, Combat and I was good at it. Tactics, Strategies, Martial Arts, you name it and I could handle it. With my training, my army, my equipment and my natural talent I was able to wipe out the other factions. At first I did it one by one but as some of the sides started falling those that were left formed an alliance of sorts to try to stop me. They failed and I broke their forces and put an end to their threat leaving my people the sole inhabitant of this island. The problem is we had adapted to being a warrior race and we were starting to turn that same aggression that won the war against each other. I knew that if I didn’t do something we would be destroyed by the same foul drive that had enabled us to win. I considered moving beyond this island, but the question remained could we hold the expanded territory we would win in the future when we couldn’t hold the territory we had won in the past? It didn’t seem like we could, so in order to save my people I did something drastic. I ordered the undead army to stand down and to seal themselves away in a tomb, then I removed my heart. You see I was the last of my line and I didn’t take a spouse or have children so if I died the deal would be null and void and my people would be free or so I thought. The conflicts that were occurring between members of my people seemed unnatural and I think being in proximity to the undead army and weapons granted by the demonic pact fueled them on. The thing is I removed my heart and I didn’t end up dying somehow but the pact was physically separated from my being and sealed away in the organ which transformed into the stone artifact with the gold locket on the altar right there. I don’t know why I didn’t die but I wonder if some force opposed to evil blessed my sacrifice because I developed new powers that replaced the ones I had lost. I became protected by an aura that made it hard for me to be attacked and I could calm people’s emotions as well. I also found the plans for the city I ended up building nearby and the walls of the city resonated with my emotional calming ability to blanket the area and aid in my people changing as well. We took our swords and turned them into plowshares, seeking peace and prosperity instead of war and ruin. Things were going remarkably well until the undead army escaped their tomb and started attacking my city.
The walls are holding for now but I don’t know how long they will last. My people are defenseless. They no longer bear weapons. The demons contacted me and asked to meet with me in this well where my heart resides. They want me to use my heart to gain the power of the pact in order to save my people once again, but if I do that that will destroy all the progress we’ve made and probably us all in the end. I don’t think the undead necessarily want to destroy us all. I think it is possible they feel betrayed by me for having sealed them in a tomb for all eternity. I mean they are skeletal in nature but they are very cunning and while they had to obey my every order while the pact was in effect they do seem to have a will of their own, now. I think if they can be treated with respect and some sort of apology delivered for using them and tossing them away then maybe a peace can be had with them and the pact does not need to be renewed.”

The bug eyed tiny creature shouts to Esmerald in her high pitched voice, “You can’t trust the undead. They’d soon as kill you the moment you tried to have a peace talk with them.”
The black eyed woman chimes in, “Why take the chance? Your heart and the promise it contains are within your grasp. Take it and be done with these games. Crush the leader of the uprising as an example to any who would dare question your authority.”
The faceless clawed entity adds, “Suppose they do meet with you? What then? Who’s to say the undead won’t demand your death as an apology? Would your fancy walls still work if you were no longer there to resonate with?”
The bent limbed creature says, “I will tell you what will work. The pact. It saved your people in the past and it will save them now. Why gamble on some outsiders you just met and undead killing machines being reasonable when you could trust in us and be done with the threat they pose in the time it takes to reclaim your heart?”
The obese creature says, “We saw greatness in your bloodline. That is why we made the deal with your sire and grand sire in the first place. You can surpass them and gain an even greater power than that which you used to command. You said it yourself. Your people have grown soft and defenseless. You may be able to negotiate this threat away but what happens in the future when a new threat emerges that you can’t negotiate with? Your instincts were right the first time. You should take our power and move beyond this island. Bend this entire world and then the worlds beyond it to your will. Things will only be well and truly safe for your people when there are none left standing to possibly threaten them.”

Garret backs away from the demons, now that it appears that they really are demons. As he eyes them, he says to the queen, "This doesn't seem like a deal. This seems like they're trying to make you do something bad. That seems kind of clear to me, but I like things simple."

Beri scratches his head as he takes in the queens story.
Ahh, I think we understand your plight. As it turns out, we have actually worked with an undead kingdom in the past, they were people who's kindness and understanding were far beyond any mortal rulers I've met.

While I don't know the skeletal warriors you talk of, it sounds to me that your intuition and ability to read people and situations has been very keen. I know what you are saying is possible, and if you believe the warriors would listen then we would be honored to assist you in negotiating a lasting peace.

"What you want sounds quite noble. Much better to seek a peace than to dominate over others" Tink nods to the Queen "We haven't met these undead you speak of so I can't speak to their motives, however I fear that the demons here might be trying to coerce you into a path of conflict. I think it best we proceed without their interference"

Tink is giving a not-so-subtle suggestion that either the demons leave, or the party (along with the Queen) do. She has some thoughts for the Queen but is wary about revealing them.

Bosk scratches his head. I do not see what the problem is. It sounds like you have to options.

Option one: we aid you in seeking peace. If we fail, option two is always an option.

Option two: you form a pact and things can never go back to how they were and one group is lost.

In my experience, peace is always the better option, especially when it is the one that does not eliminate the other options.

Garret backs away from the demons and advises against taking any sort of deal.
Restlin defers to TInk.
Beri explains they’ve worked with an undead Kingdom in the past who had a very high amount of kindness and understanding. He says while he doesn’t know who the undead are she speaks of but he’s willing to defer to her insight and will help if she thinks it is possible.
Zane nods his dragon head while Beri talks.
Tink says the queen has noble goals and that while she doesn’t know what the undead want she says the demons are trying to coerce her into a path of conflict and it is best to proceed without their interference.
Wyaar nods at Beri’s words.
Bosk points out the only two options he sees.

Queen Esmerald says to the Iron Dragons, “Do you mean it? Will you really help me in my pursuit of a peaceful solution? What do I do about the Demons? I don’t want to see them dealt with them violently, either. That isn’t the way I do things anymore. Plus they seem very persistent. They also raise a valid point about what happens in the future with the next threat after the Undead.”

The tiny bug eyed demon shouts, “Hey Esmerald. You don’t get to decide when this is over. We get to decide when this is over.”
The black eyed woman says, “Yes you’ve agreed to the terms of this discussion although you invited these interlopers into it who I might add are ruining it.”
The faceless entity says, “You just can’t leave...at least without giving us an answer that is.”
The bent limb entity says, “You know what answer we want and the answer that will save your people not just now but into the future as well: the pact.”
The obese creature says, “Iron Dragons is it? How do you know Esmerald won’t betray you in the same way she betrayed our pact, our wishes concerning this discussion and the undead forces she once commanded. This isn’t your world and it isn’t your fight. Clearly you’ve come here seeking something as you’ve said it yourself you aren’t from around here. I’ve got a proposition or deal for you too. Let us have Esmerald and we will aid you in finding whatever it is you are seeking here so you can get it and be on your way. In this way we can all get what we want. You get what you came for, Esmerald gets to save her Kingdom, and We get a very powerful agent in this world once again. What do you say?”

Restlin lived a life with few hard and fast rules. If he had more, he's positive that not making deals with demons would be one of them. He looks incredulously at the obese demon.

"What part of anything I just said makes you think we'd be ok with a deal like that? Making a deal with a demon because something bad might happen in the future is...well, that's not a solid idea. Of course there's going to be a next threat. That's just life." He puts his hands up. "We've offered our help, but the choice isn't ours, your highness. Our word is solid. You want our help pursuing peace, you've got it."

"Let me get this straight.
You made a deal a long time ago to solve a problem back then. And right now, the solution you came up with to solve that problem back then is now the problem you want to offer yet another deal to fix the last solution. What will you offer as a deal in the far future to correct whatever problem your current solution will fix for now?
As I see it, you have a never ending problem that lets you garner more and more power away from those who would use it for the Betterment of everyone, where you just want it for yourself and really don't care what the Queen gets out of it, as long as eventually you get everything.
That about sum up your deals?"

Wait... are you trying to bribe us into not doing the right thing? And after making such a big deal over who is in our party? Do paladins and justicars have some different roll in your realm? I'll save you a little time, in our realm we are all people that do good. We strive to only do good. And as far as we can tell, you aren't even attempting to hide the fact that your proposal goes in direct opposition to that one simple principle.

It also sounds like you are pretty afraid about letting the queen confirm a peaceful solution will work.

Beri turns to address the queen.
Your highness, you said that you think if they can be treated with respect and some sort of apology delivered for using them and tossing them away then maybe a peace can be had with them. The actions of the others seems to indicate that they fear this is true as well. Can you tell me more about why you believe this is the case. And about why you think they feel betrayed, that they are cunning, and what you see that makes you believe have a will of their own now? We have been to other realms where the undead behave thusly, and it seems to me that this is the most important piece to confirming we can broker the desired peace.

Garret asks the demons why they specifically can’t just walk away and then why all involved can’t just walk away.
Restlin looks at the obese demon incredulously and asks it why it thinks they would be okay with a deal like that. He says the next threat isn’t a good reason because that is just life and then offers his help in pursuing peace to Queen Esmerald.
Zane uses his Dragon Voice to question the never ending cycles of deals the demons are pursuing to get power at the expense of others.
Sesha prepares to abscond with Queen Esmerald if things go pear shaped.
Beri asks the Demons if they are trying to bribe them into not doing the right thing and asks them why they think a Justicar or Paladin would go along with it. He says they strive to only do good and points out it seems like they are scared of the queen confirming a peaceful solution will work. He then asks Esmerald more about the undead and why she believes they can be reasoned with.
Bosk agrees they have no guarantee she’s worth their trust but it’s the right thing to do.
Tink agrees with everyone else and says they should discuss further in private.

The bug eyed Demon yells out to Garret, “Because thems the rules of this parley. No one leaves until straight yes or no answers are given to any offers made.”
The black eyed woman says, “Yes and we have 2 pending offers on the table though it looks like the offer we explicitly made to the Iron Dragons has been practically rejected by Beri and Zane. ”
The blank faced entity says, “Yes and while Queen Esmerald seems to be wanting to go with your offer, she hasn’t outright rejected ours. As to the question, life being the next threat eventually coming along, that doesn’t have to be life if one is strong willed enough to shape their own destiny. One can chose to be the threat and not the one who is doing the threatening.”
The bent limb creature says, “You ask why we don’t want a peace treaty between Esmerald and the undead, well we are demons. We thrive on chaos. Lasting peace is bad for business, of course there are other jokers on this rock. We could just try to find someone more receptive to our deal and come back with our new friends. That could make things mighty chaotic.”
The obese creature says, “We don’t have to limit our selections to this rock. Obviously the Iron Dragons aren’t from here. We can recruit from beyond this world. If the Iron Dragons are such a strong force for good there has to be strong forces for evil to balance them out as well.”

Queen Esmerald says to the Iron Dragons, “Do you really think the demons will offer their power to someone else and have them come back here to get revenge? Is there anyway to send them back to whence they came? I suppose it might be easy for them to get here?”

To Beri specifically she says, “Well the skeletal troopers started out as fae folk who fell in battle. Granted my people have light hollow skeletons so it took multiple remains to craft each trooper. The personality of each skeletal trooper is similar to but different from the remains used to craft it. They also retain some of the skills and abilities the corpses they were crafted from knew in life. So since the skeletal troopers used to be of my people I think they still are motivated by the same things my people were motivated by in life at least in part. It could be interpreted that we cut them off from a touchstone to their past by sealing them away from what parts of them knew when they were alive. I honestly do regret what was done to them and would like to atone for it if I could.”

"Yea, probably," is Restlin's simple answer to the queen. He was kind of annoyed that she wasn't seeing the enormous amount of good luck that just landed right in her lap. They were her chance to get out of this mess. He hopes she realizes that soon...

Looking towards the Queen, "Most likely. But that'll be because you are unwilling to accept their solution to your current problem. And the Current problem is a result of the previous solution, isn't it?
Like I just said, in another few hundred years, they'll offer you a solution to the problem that what they offer now to fix your current problem has yet to create.
It's like one of those carousel rides that some carnivals travel with. You get on, and all you do is go around and around.
Its a decision you are going to have make on your own. We will offer our help and do what we can. Afterwards, if you can assist us with our quest we will welcome it. But we won't demand it. But you already know we are here for our own reasons."

Beri considers what the demons have said.
Well, I'm not sure what the demons abilities are in this realm. As they said, they thrive on chaos. It seems to me that there has been little chaos since you turned away from them. Keeping power within your family also seems to have been the path of minimal chaos, whereas giving power to those that were trying to oppose you seems to be more in line with their style. And they seem to have more interest in this deal than the details we've been told would naturally lend themselves to.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are somehow bound to you and your family in a way that prevents them from making a deal elsewhere. Possibly there was something in the original deal that keeps them bound to your removed heart, and keeps them from bringing others against you. In fact, by your own words "the pact was physically separated from your being and sealed away in the organ"...

That gives me an idea, you asked if we could send them back to whence they came. If I am right that the pact binds them to the heart, then I believe we can do just that. Do you happen to know the exact terms of the pact?

"Well, we are demons" That pretty much sums up the situation for Tink. She doesn't trust these demons at all. She has some ideas for how to help with peace negotiations and coming up with some sort of mutually agreeable terms, but again, anything she suggests now would give the demons time to find ways to counter it. No. Best to wait until they aren't in earshot.

DM Mitch 
Wednesday September 18th, 2019 8:08:27 AM
Wyaar frowns at being between Demons and Crafted Undead from Fae remains as paladins weren’t known for their love of lesser evils.
Garret looks around the “rock” they are on and isn’t sure how to convince the queen that Demons are evil and should be avoided.
Restlin informs the queen that the Demons will probably be back and is starting to get annoyed that she can’t see the good luck that just landed in her lap.
Zane agrees with Restlin that the demons probably will be back but points out it is only because she is unwilling to accept their solution to the current problem. He suggests that if she did accept their offer then down the lane she’d have to make another deal to fix the problem that would arise because she’s accepted this solution. He makes a comparison to a carousel that some of the traveling carnivals have and then states plainly that they will do what they can to aid Esmerald and then afterward if she can assist with their quest they welcome it but they won’t demand it.
Beri suggests that there has been little chaos for the demons since the Queen turned away from the deal and that keeping power in the Queen’s family was also a path of minimal chaos. He also suggests that they are unnaturally interested in the deal. He further suggests that they might be bound to her in a way that prevents them from making deals elsewhere. He further suggests that if the pact binds them to the heart they could potentially send the demons away. He asks for the exact terms of the pact.

Bosk listens.

Tink thinks there’s not much else to discuss; you can’t trust demons.

Esmerald says to Beri, “I’m sorry but the exact details of the pact are rather hazy. It is like when my heart got separated from my body everything that represented the pact got physically separated including some emotions and memories tied to the pact. As I said I’m fairly convinced that something, maybe a Deity or Archon intervened on my behalf but you do raise a good point about maybe the presence of the heart is acting as a blocker for any future deal they would make with anyone else and Garret, Wyaar and Tink seem earnest. Furthermore Restlin shows wisdom with respect to future threats just being the way of life. One can’t sit by thinking about what danger might be lurking out there while ignoring the clear and present one staring you in the the face.”
Esmerald is further moved by Zane’s statement and says, “Then Iron Dragons I accept your offer and 5 Demons I reject yours.”
A gong sounds. Whatever the rules of the parley were it seems like the sentiments the Iron Dragons expressed previously and the Queen’s outright rejection of the offer ended whatever hold the parley had.

The bug eyed demon screams, “You’ll regret this!” and disappears in a puff of angry smoke.
The black eyed woman says, “We could have been so good or rather so evil together again...such a pity. We will be back...with new partners in the future. Don’t be too jealous. Ta Ta.” and she blows a kiss before slinking away in a curl of seductive smoke
The slender blank faced entity says, “To come away empty-handed after all that. I’ve got a bad feeling about this...for you that is” and he too vanishes but doesn’t leave a trace.
The bent limbed creature says, “I suppose thems the breaks. At least for us for now. I imagine they’ll be a whole bunch of breaks in your future when we return and you probably won’t like ‘em.” He disappears in a mushroom shaped cloud.
The obese creature says, “We tried. You could have been Queen of many realities, feared and revered for many years as a conquerer who scoured whole existences in order to keep her people safe from any who would dare harm them. Instead you’ll be forgotten after we return as a temporary ruler of one small insignificant city on one small insignificant continent on one small insignificant planet amidst many vast and promising realities. You really blew it. We won’t make you as sweet an offer ever again. The next time you hear from us, it will most likely go something like submit to our new pact partner or die. Your choice.” The obese creature exits in a mini tempest complete with lightning crashes.

Sense Motive 45 : Highlight to display spoiler: {The black eyed woman seems to not quite be telling the truth related to the regret shown at not being able to partner with Esmerald again. There also seems to be a hint of uncertainty about being able to find a new partner. }
Sense Motive : 62 Highlight to display spoiler: {The Obese creature is outright lying with respect to the offer not being made again. It seems like the offer is still on the table. Furthermore it seems like the talk of finding a new partner is rather blusterous}
Sense Motive 62 + Know Arcana 50 Highlight to display spoiler: { It would appear that Beri’s surmization that as long as the queen has access to her stone heart the offer is still technically on the table as the queen is physically capable of reabsorbing the artifact and the pact it represents. The pact isn’t so much as turned off as it is suppressed. Might Beri also be right about the demons having so much of their energy tied up in a suppressed pact that they don’t have much to offer a would-be future partner?}

Beri watches as the demos disappear in a flash of sound and fury, but their motives are inscrutable to the druid, who has apparently spent so long studying the living that the nonliving leave him puzzled.

He turns toward the queen and bows.
Thank you for putting your trust in us and for continuing down the path of goodness. We promise we will do all we can to broker a lasting peace.

It seems that your people acknowledge the code of parley, and that the skeletal warriors remember at least part of what they used to. Do you think they would agree to hold one so the mistakes of the past could be addressed and a peaceful path forward for both of you can start to be worked out?

Tink is keen to get down to business. Peace negotiations and treaties often involve some form of paperwork, right?

"We'll need to understand a little more about these undead enemies. What sort of things they might want as part of a lasting peace, and what you would be prepared to offer. It is often the case with these things that deals need to be done"

Garret reaches a hand out to touch the stone heart but then quickly removes his hand on the off chance that Sesha is watching.
Beri watches as the demons disappear in a flash of sound and fury but he doesn’t know what to make of the demons motives. He thanks Queen Esmerald for putting her trust in them and then asks if the undead would be open to parley.
Zane reverts back to his taur form still reduced and stretches the cricks in his neck out.
Restlin points out demons aren’t likely to give good deals.
Bosk compares demons to children and asks the queen if she has questions.
Tink asks several questions.

Queen Esmerald says to Beri, “Well thank you for giving me an alternative to something I knew to be wrong but I felt due to dire circumstances I might have been left with no choice. As to your question with respect to the Skeletal Troopers, they might be compelled by the rules of parley, though I’m not sure if the result will be as impressive as it was here with respect to the demons. This well is technically a revered place. It is why I came here to remove my heart and why I chose it to remain the resting place for the artifact that it became. I don’t know if whatever fell energies the demons use interacted with the parley and the well to give us those interesting exits the demons gave or what. It is possible we could do a parlay and they wouldn’t be as heavily bound as the Demons were. Furthermore the possibility exists that some of their number might take an initial approach by myself as an opportunity to end my existence so perhaps a messenger who isn’t me bearing the flag of truce approach to make the offer for a talk?”

At the offer of information from the Dragons she pauses. ”I’m sure I'll think of a thousand, but I need a moment to consider. There are rather a lot of things on my mind.”

Beri looks around the shadows of the well,and while it feels infinitely safer now than when the demons were here he does agree that it is best to head out right away now that parley appears to be ending.

Yes, it would be a good idea to return. Besides, I any plans we are making would be better servered being completed away from the corrupting influences that seem to be leaking out of the heart and the pact that is bound within it.

If you believe a neutral flag bearer would be best, I see the silver tongued among us are already offering their services.

Tink suggests they retire somewhere to discuss matters as a well is no place to stay.
Garret reaches out and touches the heart, confident Sesha isn’t watching him.
Restlin considers conjuring up his mansion but figures that the queen must have a place they could talk that is more comfortably than the well.
Zane suggests that they could get the undead talking at least as they are a group of unknowns. He echoes the other’s sentiments about going somewhere else to talk things over.
Wyaar agrees.
As does Sesha.
Beri suggests they get away from the corrupting influence of the heart and observes there already appears to be volunteers to be neutral flag bearers.
Bosk offers to cook food.

GarretHighlight to display spoiler: {The heart feels like a smoothly polished stone but not quite. It isn’t so much that it is beating but that it is kind of pulsating but faintly.}

Queen Esmerald says, “Of course. Where are my manners. I assume you all have some means to fly or climb. Let me know if we need to arrange a lift out of this well. Otherwise follow me.”
The 3 sets of wings on her back start flapping and she moves up the shaft of the well.
The rest of you follow the queen.
She says, “We can go to Crystal City, though given the infrequent nature of the undead attacks we might have to sneak in depending on how things look when we get there.”
She leads you down a long winding forested path. After several minutes she turns off onto a branch and you end up on a hilly area that pokes up above the surrounding forest. A decent ways away down the path that you departed you see a rather large city surrounded by high walls that appear to be made out of a cloudy crystal. While the city appears to be in locked down with no one entering or exiting at the moment there doesn’t appear to be any undead attacking it at the moment.

Queen Esmerald says, “Well looks like the Skeletal troopers aren’t attacking right this moment but it probably wouldn’t look good for the Queen to walk up to just walk up to the gate and be let in in case they have spies.

She looks around for a moment and then spies a large oak tree. She places her hand against it and the tree starts glowing. “Hurry, the tree portal won’t be open for long. It will take us directly to the city before sealing behind us and the oak itself will turn into the sapling it was originally before temporarily storing this portal power.”

She steps through the glowing tree.

Garret ponders pocking the heart for just a moment before the queen leads them out of the well. He decides against it and follows along with the rest.

One by one the Iron Dragons enter the tree portal some warrier than others regarding potential threats. Garret informs the others over the rings that the stone heart feels like it is still beating.

The Iron Dragons and Queen Esmerald emerge in the courtyard of a rather large castle through a tree growing in the orchard. Queen Esmerald says, “A well is no place to be, especially in the middle of a warzone. Why don’t you take some time to freshen up. Please avail yourselves to my hospitality.”

She claps her hands and 2 liveried servants magically appear stepping from a nearby tree. She says indicating a slight, snub nosed fairy woman, “Ladies, please follow Magentia here to quarters where you can bathe, change clothes and partake in light refreshment if you so desire. I will be having a dinner for us to discuss the matter of the Skeletal Troopers this evening. My Hand, Minister of coin and Minister of agriculture will be in attendance”

Magentia smiles and says to Sesha and Tink, “If you will please follow me.”

Queen Esmerald then addresses the male members of the Iron Dragons, indicating the platinum haired male fairy servant with a strong jaw “Gentlemen, Geodio will see you to your quarters. As with the ladies there will be baths, light refreshments and clean clothes provided if you need them. We will reconvene this evening for a dinner meeting with my small council. I trust this is agreeable?” She asks.

Geodio says to Wyaar, Restlin, Garret, Beri, Zane and Bosk, “If you will follow me gentlemen I will show you to your quarters.”

Garret's eyes light up at the prospect of staying with the queen. His shoulders sag a little when he hears that there are only "light" refreshments.

Garret gets his hopes up at the prospect of staying with the queen only to have them dashed when he hears that there will only be “light refreshment.” He makes inquiries as to how light refreshment will be.
Restlin follows close on Geodio’s heels. He tells Garret he’ll just have to eat more and offers the halfling his share of the food not being that hungry. Still the mage-priest will not turn down the opportunity to freshen up.
Zane says over the ring that the queen must count as an undead too since her heart is in that well. He hopes they aren’t being used as pawns and follows along not letting his guard down.
Beri says it is unlikely they were being used as pawns considering they came in unannounced. He also hopes the Skeletal Troopers are open to a peaceful path forward.
Bosk appreciates the bath. He did not detect that the queen was undead.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Magentia leads Sesha and Tink to a richly appointed set of rooms. Each has a large canopy bed, a wardrobe full of beautiful dresses, full length mirror, fireplace, wood panelling and an oaken chest at the foot of the bed that you can store things in. Each also is connected to the female communal baths. While there are several large communal hot tub like structures there are a few smaller individual tubs behind curtains too. The rooms are connected by a common room with a harp, spindle, easel and table laden with cheese, crackers, small portions of smoked meat, pastries, little cakes and dried fruit. There is also an urn full of coffee, decanters of wine, sherry and water. A chilled caraffe of heavy cream and a sugar bowl.
Before Magentia leaves she hands you a hand bell and says, “Ring if you need anything. Dinner will be at 7.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geodio says to Garret as they are walking down the hall, “There are small morsels of smoked meats. However, I’d save room for dinner later if I was you. I’m sure the food at the Queen’s dinner meeting will be delicious.”

Geodio leads Restlin, Wyaar, Garret, Zane, Bosk and Beri down a hallway that ends in a terminal common room like area with pairs of suites diagonally adjacent to each other. In the common room there is a chess set, backgammon board and some cards. There is also a table laden with nuts, small bits of smoked meat, crackers, cheese, pastries, little cakes and dried fruit. There is also a small keg of ale, decanters of wine and water as well as a chilled carafe of heavy cream and a sugar bowl.

Each room has a large canopy bed, a fireplace,a wardrobe full of fine outfits, full length mirror, wood paneling and an oaken chest you can store things in at the foot of the bed.

In the common room a corridor opposite from the one you entered from leads to the male communal baths. There are several large hot tubs and several small individual tubs behind curtains in the bathing area.

Before Geodio leaves he gives you a hand bell and says, “Dinner will be at 7, good sirs. Please ring if you need anything.”

You have several hours before you meet with the Queen and her council for dinner. What do you do in the mean time?

Garret runs past Geodio as they enter the room. He runs to the table and grabs a handful of nuts. Then he heads over to the chess set and moves a piece. A moment later he is back at the food, shoving some meats in his face. Next he heads to the ale and gestures to see if anyone wants any. He takes a drink of water, then jumps on the bed, lying down. He smiles and says, “It might just be nap time…”

Restlin chuckles at the thought of Garret saving room for dinner. "That won't be a problem, Geodio. Garret always eats for two anyway."

He takes a quick bath. Towel around his waist, he goes and grabs two glasses of wine, then heads back to the baths. The towel gets tossed aside as he hops into the hot tub. He sighs happily.

"Why don't we have one of these back in the tower?" he wonders aloud. He stays until he starts to prune, then goes and whoops Wyaar in chess a bunch of times.

"Oh, I have a lovely bath, but not a big hot tub like this." Restlin has an idea. He summons a small water elemental and tasks it with creating a small whirlpool & stirring up the water.

He gets on the ring to Tink and Sesha. "I've invented something brilliant. You should eschew gender norms and come soak."

"Yeah... that's not going to happen" Tink relays back to Restlin. She's quite content to stick to the ladies quarters.

Tink decides to go with one of the small individual tubs behind a curtain. She'd be too self-conscious to be able to relax in the water in front of Sesha.

After a long and pleasant soak she will sit by the table with a small glass of sherry. What a great way to end a day.

Beri looks over at Restlin's "invention" and smiles. He then proceed to transform into a water elemental himself and soaks in the tub. Using his elemental body's natural currents, he sends the water flowing over ever sore muscle... or whatever you would call the equivalent on an elementa;,.

Sesha is down to her under-garments, preparing to bathe, while also sniffing the cheese left out for her and Tink. Restlins invitation catches her imagination, but she figures being naked next to Restlin, in public, wasn't in her immediate plans.

"Not at this moment, Mage Priest. I think I'll take the female company for now."

She is partly impatient for the bell, partly content to sit in her bath, and partly ready for this whole ordeal to come to a head. For an elf, patience wasn't in her short list of virtues.

Bosk asks if he could arrange to purchase a couple bottles of wine and spirits to bring back with him (purchasing with gold or barter for some he brought with him) in addition to assume local recipes.

"I think we should all stick together for now... What are you taking about Restlin? Our bath had three tubs, the largest of which could easily fit ten men, and the smaller ones could easily fit two with room to spare... and that was before the remodel! Still, I still have the ability to make some changes to the structure. I can further enlarge the bath when we get back."

Wyarr takes a bath and loses some chess.
Garret rushes ahead to eat himself to sleep.
Restlin takes a hot bath and wins some chess. He suggests the ladies join him in the hot tub and that they put one in the tower.
Zane drinks and meditates.
Tink declines Restlin’s offer and sticks to the lady baths.
Beri baths as a water elemental.
Sesha also declines and is somewhat impatient.
Bosk is incredulous at Restlin’s desire for more baths at home.

As dinner approaches Geodio and Magentia come to collect each gendered group and escort them to the chamber where the dinner meeting is to occur.

You arrive at the chamber at about the same time to overhear a heated exchange between Queen Esmerald and someone. A man’s voice says, “I’m telling you I don’t think they can be reasoned with. Aside from you I’ve been around the Skeletal Troops more than anyone. I was the second best living warrior we had aside from you your highness and I lead the killing machines on several sorties so I’m fully aware of the brutality they are capable of. I asked you to make me Minister of War but you said we were moving beyond that. I tolerated your suggestion and accepted the role of Minister of Agriculture but I at the end of the day I am a fighter not a farmer. Let me start requisitioning the blacksmiths to make some fine blades instead of plows and it won’t take me long to train up a group of soldiers capable of defeating the Skeletal Troopers if we are smart about it. They are not invulnerable and can be destroyed despite their resilient nature.”

The Queen says, “I appreciate your counsel old friend, but my mind is made up. I almost gave in to the power of the pact earlier today. I can assure you that I was prepared to lead my people myself against the Skeletal Troopers but this group I met, the Iron Dragons they walked me back from the ledge. Allow me to do the same for you my dear Mercutio. You’ve always been my most trusted adviser and I admire your passion but I think you need to calm down now.”

Mercutio says with an exasperated sigh, “I suppose you are right your highness.”

As you turn the corner you see an older bearded fairy man sitting at the Queen’s right hand. He has chestnut hair and the 6 wings common for his kind and is dressed in very fine courtiers clothes and has an air of command about him. The table at which he and Queen Esmerald sit has been set for dinner with plates, bowls, forks, knives, spoons but it doesn’t look like anything has been served yet. There is enough space for all of you plus 2 more beside the Queen and Mercutio.

The Queen says to Mercutio, “Here the Iron Dragons are now. We just need Isabelle and Corgan and we can begin.”

Queen Esmerald smiles at you and says, “Please take a seat. We will start serving the meal once everyone has gotten here.”
A few moments later a dark haired fair skinned fairy woman enters. She says matter of factly, “Forgive my tardiness my queen but I was personally seeing to the matter that you requested of me.”

Finally a portly fairy man enters. He says, “My apologies your highness but you do realize it is hard to be Minister of Coin when we don’t know when the Skeletal Troopers will attack our merchant caravans or lay siege to the city. The uncertainty is playing havok amongst the people and I’m doing my best to assure them we have things in hand but it gets harder and harder to keep up appearances. I pray there is good news and that is why you called for this meeting.”

Queen Esmerald smiles at Corgan and says, “There is good news. Today I have found folk from afar who will help us end the conflict with the Skeletal Troopers. With their help we can hopefully set the stage for a parlay where we can reconcile with the Skeletal Troopers and end the attacks. They were once some of us so I never should have been selfish and discarded them like I did. I’m convinced that there is enough left of the fairies that they once were in them that we can reason with them.”

“I also believe that the Iron Dragons themselves said they had some ideas with how to deal with our current situation. Hopefully they will elaborate now and then we can get to dinner.”

She looks at you expectantly


Sesha - 102/202. AC 30 
Wednesday September 25th, 2019 10:25:20 AM

Elaborate on their plans?

"Usually, our plan is to apply overwhelming magical force to any situation. There's always a spell for something. In this case, if we cannot convert your skeletal troops, we will destroy them. If we cannot destroy them, we can seal them away or exorcise them. If we can't do that, Restlin will just turn them into a childs toy of some design and keep them in a backpack for the rest of his mortal life, before we store them in our vault."

She takes a sip of whine.

"We found the less complication in the plan, the more likely all of us are on the same page."

Garret wakes up from his nap and follows along with G. As they walk, he checks out side passages and anything else that looks interesting between the chambers and the dining room. When they arrive, he resists the urge to jump up to his seat, realizing that he IS in the dining room of royalty. He looks around, wondering where the food might be, hoping there will be enough to feed everyone.

If there is a solution, we will find it.. and if not, we can end the threat through other means."

Restlin's dressed in his best for dinner. First thing out of his mouth, after linking arms with Sesha, is "obviously we would have covered up. You two missed something grand. Bosk says there's a big hot tub in the tower I've somehow remained oblivious to all this time. I'll re-create it when we get home."

He sits, and listens, and takes it all in. Sesha and Wyarr speak up. He chuckles a bit, thinking about Waddles in his backpack right now, though he's still firm on the fact that the thing is never, ever going in the vaults. It's one of his favorite keepsakes.

"What they're saying is true, of course, but that doesn't mean we're not skilled diplomats. To do that, we need to be sure we know the whole story. Entering negotiations only to discover they've been wronged more than we've been lead to believe will throw a wrench into everyone's plans."

He aims for a tone that says "I just KNOW you'd never be anything other than totally honest with us, because that would be a foolish idea. Sorry I even have to say it!"

Diplomacy: 64

"Though I'd wager a better target for our...abilities would be those demons. They're undoubtedly already working on plans to use the undead against you. A show of force against the demons would be useful in talks with these troopers."

Beri takes a sip of the wine and listens to the others.
Yes. And my apologies Queen Esmerald that we are starting this conversation confirming our ability should we be called upon for the worst case contingency. We've found that leaders are often less averse to try a peaceful path forward if they know they that position is backed up by a strong offense and an impenetrable defense.

The first part of our plan is both the simplest, and the most crucial.

Beri tries to choose his next words carefully to avoid mentioning the heart, not knowing if any at the table besides the queen know of the heart, the pact that permeates it, and the evil seeping from it.

First we need to arrange a parlay with the warriors.
Our small group with a group that can speak for them.
We should meet in the open with a clear view all around, far enough from the castle walls and from their main force that both sides can be sure there is on ambush planned.
Is there a suitable location away from the castle in that direction?

Beri points in the direction opposite of the heart, and farthest away from the evil spilling from it, hoping it will maximize the chances of being able to broker a peace.

This is of course assuming your customs and rules of warfare are similar to those from our land.
If there is something your customs would dictate we should change please let us know. We want to make sure that we are doing all we can to engage in a fruitful discussion toward peace.

On that note, your highness, I believe you said that the negotiations would go more smoothly if you weren't physically there. If that is the case I believe a letter written in your hand would be the next best thing, confirming we are there on your behalf to discuss a lasting and permanent peace, relaying your heartfelt regret for what happened, and your hopes regarding moving forward together into the next chapter of your countries history.

Bosk follows the conversation, agreeing with the others. Where I come from there is an old saying, Walk softly and carry a big stick. We will use every skill at our disposal before considering more extreme measures.

If you could please tell us everything you can about the history you all share. How they were created. What their motivation was. Their strength, weaknesses and numbers. Are they religious? Do they have complete or limited free will? The more we know about them the more likely we are to fund a peaceful resolution

"If you don't mind me saying, m'lady, I think your trusted advisor Mercutio may have a good point"

Being outsiders it is important not to usurp the advisor from his position. It would be best to keep him on side as well.

"Allow me to explain. There will always be threats to your kingdom - if not from the skeletal troops then potentially from those demons. Noone can predict what the future may bring. I believe there is a good middleground between a fully armed populace and a city with no means to defend itself. I'm not saying by any means that the people here should launch any attacks or go on the offensive, however I think there is wisdom in preparing a small contingent to defend yourselves if necessary"

She nods in acknowledgement to Mercutio.

"Beri has a good plan for the meeting. I would only suggest the addition of making sure the meeting place is in a neutral location. Neither side should hold the upper-hand"

Sesha comments on their overwhelming magical power.
Garret resists the urge to jump on his seat.
Wyarr agrees with Sesha.
Restlin asks for the full story and hints with his tone that it would be foolish to leave anything out.
Zane says he has no ideas at present.
Beri lays out a plan for the negotiations.
Bosk quotes an old saying.
Tink points out that other threats might exist so total disarmament is probably unwise.

Esmerald says to Sesha, “I appreciate the fact that you do have those abilities to bear as I and my people once had something similar but I am trying to move myself and my people beyond savagery. I am trying to bring about prosperity through peace and I have not committed a violent act since I removed my heart. I really nearly did lose all that I had worked hard for and I thank you all for coming along to prevent that from happening.”

Esmerald says to Wyaar, “Again I appreciate your magical aptitude but I do not wish the Skeletal Troopers put down if we can help it. They were victims of the war essentially. We used the knowledge we gleaned from the pact to create a new type of soldier with our dead. Although they couldn’t couldn’t fly like we can they were tougher, stronger and capable of accomplishing goals. Some kept some of the skills and memories the fairies they were made from had in life. I made the decision to lock them away as I was scared. They are owed an apology for being discarded and hopefully we can build upon our commonality to reach a lasting peace.”

Queen Esmerald says to Restlin, “I have laid out the whole story about the Skeletal Troopers. We fashioned them with knowledge from the pact out of the remains of the fallen. They were excellent warriors capable of intelligent thought and apparently free will when not bound by the magic of the equipment the pact granted to control them. My last command to them was to seal themselves away in a place I didn’t think they could escape from. I did it to try to save my living people from what I thought was a corrupting element. When you encountered the demons in the well we essentially were under a banner of truce. They have since disappeared and as far as I know no sightings have been reported. There are other continents in this world perhaps they’ve grown tired of mine. Regardless if I am blocking their power by eschewing the heart I have to wonder if destroying them would interfere with whatever we have going on here with my gifts and the calming power of the walls. You may not run into them a second time and I question if chasing them down would only make things worse with the undead.”

Queen Esmerald says to Zane, “I pray that diplomacy does not fail. I don’t see much difference between myself crushing the undead uprising or those I have designated to try to broker a peace doing so. I gave the orders to use you to help if it just ends in them getting destroyed have I really shown myself to be any better than I was in unison with the pact?”

Queen Esmerald says to Beri, “You don’t seem to understand. I’m not like most rulers. My people were burned by the kind of strength you exhibit in the worst contingency. I do not seek a blunt instrument. I want an olive branch. I do admit I like your non-violent plan. As for a location where you can probably meet I will have you refer to Corgan or Isabelle. My Minister of Coin is intricately familiar with the Caravan routes and My Hand has had dealings with cartographers. Our warrior traditions were probably similar up until the point where I ended my people’s use of warrior traditions. As for a signed note is there anything specific you think I should include or am I free to draft the missive myself? I will of course defer to your collective wisdom if you think my draft missive needs to be adjusted.”

Mercutio says, “Though I admit I am starting to like the style of this group, your highness I am not sure if they are the kind of people you are looking for. Restlin, that guy dressed in spiffy clothing might be able to act the part of the type of person you are looking for but that other guy Zane, well he’s large, has bronzed horns and just seems like the kind you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley. As much as I want your dream of a peaceful tomorrow to be a reality for you your highness if this is the group you are sending can I at least start working on my own contingency preparations? If we are going to build weapons of war again then I would like to at least have a guard force and in order for them to be effective they’ll need training. Let me draft the men and have the equipment ready and if their plans fail well me and my men can back up the Iron Dragons as we mop up the Skeletal Troopers.”

Corgan replies to Mercutio, “There has been no such authorization from the treasury for weapons of war. The Queen was quite clear as to what markets we would not be doing business in and arms was one of them. Furthermore there is nothing in the budget that stipulates a salary for guardsmen so as things stand from a monetary perspective and you don’t even have to go to the queen for this one, the answer is no.”

Isabelle says, “I think if anyone is getting a budget increase for staff expenses it should be the Hand. The undertaking that Queen Esmerald has me doing is not cheap, especially when the folks I am working with do not have the kind of protections those normally in their field would have with a typical ruler. Hazard pay is expensive.”

Queen Esmerald says, “Shall we break for supper, Finish eating, then formalize the plan by hammering out where the Iron Dragons can meet with the Skeletal Troopers and what my note should convey? It seems like we should have a unified front moving forward but perhaps it is hunger that is driving a wedge between the members of my council?”

Restlin's eyes narrow slightly at Mercutio's words, but he says nothing. Zane's not a maiden in need of defending.

Once dinner's mentioned, there's no stopping Garret, so he goes along. He nods at the Queen's suggestion. "You know your world better than us, your highness. Those demons didn't seem like the sort the shrug their shoulders...if they had shoulders...and walk away. I hope you are correct, but I'm still glad we have a paladin in our ranks should they prove troublesome."

"I may be big and bronze, but I believe in Peace before Power. But I'm also a realist, when Peace fails to win the day, then other means are needed to achieve the goals.
As an example, Our home tower now houses an entire clan of what at first look by most would be a large group of evil creatures. I am, I guess their primary champion and protector.
I am not just a brute force solution looking for a place to pound that solution into place. While I have stated others are more suited to being diplomatically oriented, I also said I am not unfamiliar with the process, just that I'm not as proficient as others of our group and that's why I let them do most of the speaking."

Thursday September 26th, 2019 2:30:32 PM

At dinner.

Sesha considers the important, final bit mentioned by the queen. Her note. The skeletal troopers would be a problem, but somehow, she empathized with them just a little.

"I imagine, as you put it, you should convey they are not monsters nor enemies to your people. They are victims of a war time decision, heroes of a sort that were needed at the time, and perhaps they should be treated as such." She pauses. "Like my ancestors, the twilight elves."

She thinks a bit more.

"Maybe they are the ones you should appoint as your trainers and peacekeepers. You can extend them the olive branch of trust, inviting them into your unarmed populace."

She sighs.

"The downside is if they are bent on hurting you, they will. With us gone and your people unarmed, they could wade through and burn your kingdom to dust, perhaps. That's a choice for you as a ruler to make, I suppose. Trusting them without condition, or trusting them only when they are surrounded by swords."

She pauses.

"If they demand your life, in exchange for peace and a promise to guard your kingdom, would you take it? Would you trust them?"

"Yeah, our path would be one of peace before war. It is why I stressed our groups magical talents. If there is a solution that way to be had, I am certain that we or at least they, can come up with it. I do not want innocent souls lost even if their forms have been corrupted." Wyaar adds in.

Beri can smell the food and agrees that a break to eat and think would be best.

I agree with you that it would be best to break for supper. With any fears dealt with regarding worst case scenarios it would be best if we come back afresh after dinner focused just on a peaceful resolution and let all thoughts of other tactics dissipate along with our hunger.

It would also give you time to think of your letter. The specifics of the letter I leave to you, the more the words truly reflect your thoughts the more weight it would carry when they read it and hear your voice and authority in it. I would, however, suggest including a few specifics regarding re-integration and how you view the lasting peace we are bringing them. Make sure they see that these are not just words, but that we are creating an actual blueprint to move forward on. Something they can respond to and build off of.

Don't just tell them you want to make things right, show them that you are already preparing that way forward for your people. We've been to realms where the dead and living have built a peaceful community together, we know it can work and are happy to share what we saw if it helps. I would also suggest you offer to add some of there ranks to your counsel so they know they have a voice and are still a part of your world you are rebuilding.

After thinking a moment Bosk asks, What is their hierarchy like? I hate to push the "how far will you go" aspect, but you should be prepared anything. How would you handle the topic of reintegration into society? Intermarriage? Political marriage into the court? What would their role in society be, and is there a guarantee this will not happen to them again? You do not have to answer these now, but you and think about them.

Tink tries to get a read on the advisors. Hopefully there is nothing more than just bickering. She tries to throw in a little flattery and keep the advisors on-side.

"It's wise to keep people of differing opinions as your advisors. Always better to have others speak their mind and offer suggestions rather than just agreeing with everything you have to say"

Restlin is insulted for Zane and isn’t so sure the demons will stay away so easily.
Zane offers counterpoints to Mercutio’s statement.
Garret is all ready for food
Sesha empathizes with the skeletons and offers some suggestions.
Wyarr stresses that they want peace.
Beri gives some advice.
Bosk asks about their hierarchy and what happens after.
Tink tries to get a read on the advisors.

Queen Esmerald says to Restlin, “My hand keeps me appraised as to conditions in the field with respect to Skeletal Trooper movements when we get information. She also has a feelers out with respect to the demons. If they do show up again I will share the intel with you but as for now there has been nothing.”
Mercutio says to Zane, “Perhaps I owe you an apology. I meant no insult I just thought you looked like you could handle yourself and my words might not have been as carefully selected as I wanted them.”
Esmerald says to Sesha, “I am not sure if full integration is possible at least from the beginning. I was thinking we could offer them the resources to build a separate city nearby Crystal City that could be their own. We would of course extend trade to the Skeletal Trooper city and let them visit Crystal City. As for your suggestion of having Skeletal Trooper Peacekeepers and trainers, I have not necessarily authorized a guard force. As for their demanding my life in exchange for peace, I cannot accept that offer. I do not know if I can be killed since removing my heart didn’t do the trick nor do I know that if I am killed if the protections that my people enjoy would stay. The aura of calm the walls exude is currently being rationed but when I turn it on it is very hard to commit violence inside the walls. The problem is if the walls fall then there goes the field.”

Queen Esmerald says to Wyaar, “Glad to hear it. Hopefully we can make the peaceful solution work so it won’t come back to plan B.”

Queen Esmerald says to Beri, “I will take your counsel in mind.”

“Indeed even if we acomplish peace there will be many more challenges.” she replies to Bosk.

The advisors nod at Tink’s comment.

She claps her hands and dinner starts. The first course is a rich cauliflower bisque. The second course consists of meat pastries. The third course is a salad. The main course is a tiny warbler stuffed in a bunting, inserted in a lark, squeezed in a thrush, thrown in a quail, inserted in a lapwing, introduced to a plover, piled into a partridge, wormed into a woodcock, shoehorned into a teal, kicked into a guinea fowl, rammed inside a duck, shoved into a chicken, jammed up in a pheasant, wedged deep inside a goose, logged into a turkey, crammed up into a Great Bustard. The 17 bird monstrosity is of course carved and shared amongst the diners.
Dessert is chocolate mousse in a dark chocolate edible cup.
To drink there are several wine and ale options as well as water and a chilled apple juice.
Everyone is able to eat their fill.

As the mousse is being served Esmerald says, “I trust everyone has had enough to eat and drink? Isabelle and Corgan please share your information with the Iron Dragons with respect to neutral meeting grounds go.”
Corgan says, “Yes well the caravans are being extra careful lately so I don’t have recent information regarding some of these towns and settlements but here, here and here are places where a meeting could potentially happen. I’m not sure if these settlements are still standing though.”
Corgan points out several points on a map

Isabelle says, “2 of those settlements have fallen to the Skeletal Troopers. The third is currently being held by a different faction of freesteaders that previously have indicated distrust and acted aggressively. I do have an idea where you could meet. There is a cave on the western end of this forest or there is a shrine to the north. Both places appear to be neutral and out of the way of settlements. Which one is the better option I can’t say. The choice is ultimately yours.”

Garret eats and eats, then eats some more. He tried to be polite while at the royal table, and he is for the most part, but he just continues to eat. He even manages to cover his mouth (one time) when he burps. Sure, some food misses his mouth by a little bit and slobbers down the front of him, but he either doesn't notice or doesn't mind. He slows down after a lot of bird, but gets a second wind when the mousee shows up. He eats every drop and then picks up the cup and licks the bottom to ensure he's gotten every drop. He slumps back in his chair and it is mere moments before his eyeslids are drooping, the food coma setting in already. His butt starts to slide in his chair and he nearly falls out of it. He burps himself awake, but you can see that's not going to last long.

As Garret mostly passes out, he waves his fingers and casts Prestidigitation and cleans him up.
"I think he eats enough for everyone one us, I've almost come to the conclusion his stomach is a portable hole.
As to where to meet, that settlement of Freesteaders will need to be included as well. The undead may only see them as living and blame your city."

Restlin was leaning towards that cave, but Zane makes a good point. He decides to keep quiet for the moment to see where it goes.

As for the bird...good gracious. He separates the birds out and eats each in turn. It takes a lot of wine to get through it, and he's very glad for dessert when it arrives.

"The shrine? What god does it serve? I would not much like the idea of meeting created undead at a site that might bolster them."

Beri finishes the meal, marveling at how they were able to combine so many birds into one dish and have each layer remain distinct. As they eat and talk Beri considers the possible options for meeting places.

The shrine would likely provide less danger of ambush and add more feeling of it being a sacred place. Assuming the shrine is dedicated to something that wouldn't go counter to what we are trying to accomplish and is a shrine to something generally viewed as good then I think that may be the best option.

Garret eats himself into a food coma.
Zane cleans up garret and says the settlement seems like a good place to meet.
Restlin thought the cave was good but also thought Zane had good points.
Wyarr agrees with Zane and points out the Freesteaders should be included.
Sesha is concerned about meeting in a shrine that might empower the undead.
Beri likes the shrine option
Tink also likes the shrine.

Isabelle says to Zane and Wyaar, “You don’t seem to understand. Some of our people split off after we vanquished our enemies but before the city was founded. Some came to their senses later but opted to not return to the city. They founded free settlements and it was them we traded with for the most part. The others we trade with are people who came from other continents, but they are a smaller group. Some of those who used to be counted amongst our number lost their way and never left the ways of violence. If they attack us we retreat and pretty much avoid the area. That settlement is one such area. It is possible the Skeletal Troopers will either ignore them or seek common cause with them. We used to try to bring the violent ones back into the fold through the use of the Queen’s calming abilities but that was before our current difficulties.”
Corgan says, “The shrine is a wayfarer’s shrine. It isn’t necessarily dedicated to a deity per se but to the idea of safe travel. Travelers stop by their to seek a blessing of safe travel. It is a neutral place.”

Queen Esmerald says to Bosk, “It occurs to me I didn’t answer your question fully before we started eating. The Skeletal troopers used to be divided into regiments but it seems like Wenzel, their leader was elected from what we can gather. I’m not quite sure if we could marry the Skeletal Troopers as one of the goals of marriage is procreation and the Skeletal Troopers can’t bear or sire children. As for a guarantee that it won’t happen again, I have no magical authority anymore to order them around, therefore that is a foregone conclusion. I have given up the pact, surely they must know this considering I haven’t used its power to stop them. As for having their number among court, I would be open to including a representative or two from their number amongst my Small Counsel. As I’ve previously indicated ideally I’d like to treat them essentially like favored free steaders to start. I’d cede them land and help them found their own settlement. We would have open trade and they’d be welcome to visit Crystal City. Ideally as time wore on and we’ve proven to each other that things have changed they could migrate from their settlement to Crystal City and those that wanted to could migrate from Crystal City to live with them.”

Mercutio adds, “If the queen can successfully sue for peace then I’d like to work with the Skeletal Troopers to form a guard force. Obviously there is some things that Corgan, Queen Esmerald and I would have to work out with respect to finances but if the Skeletal Troopers are living weapons then I wouldn’t have to commission new weapons to be built.”

Esmerald says, “Ideally we’d help them move beyond their warlike ways, Mercutio. I think a guard force with you at its head would be too much like old times potentially. I don’t think we should hold authority over them in that way. We can discuss this later, if and when we successfully negotiate a peace and of course the Skeletal Troopers themselves would also have to weigh in on this proposal but I think it is a bad idea to do things that would encourage people to think of them as walking-weapons in the vein of not allowing what happened the first time to happen again.”

Queen Esmerald then says to everyone, “I would like some time to collect my thoughts and write the missive to the Skeletal Troopers. I will return shortly when I have written it and you can tell me if it will suffice or how I should change it. In the meantime, please finalize the other details with Corgan, Mercutio and Isabelle”

The Queen leaves, and Zane looks at the Councilors, "Even so, they still need to be part of the peace, or there will be no peace. The foreigners will need to be talked to as well. A well rounded treaty amungst everyone will be enduring, not even trying will result in a total collapse and those Demons will be offering someone else a bargain to regain their foothold on this world."
Over the rings, "I had a thought about things... Her heart was transmuted to create the non-death of the fallen and thus creating the undead. if we take the heart with us, will that make the undead mortal, destroy them outright or something else?"

The druid accepts a cup of coffee as the discuss their plans over their rings, at least the parts relating to the queen's pact..

I think the heart is just the embodiment of the pact with the demons. The skeletons survived the ending of the previous two ruler's pact, and the removal of her heart. I don't get the impression that the lives of the skeletons are entwined with it, just the ability to control them.

I also don't think the demons are able to simple make another pact with anyone else, otherwise they already would have. It would seem they are somehow bound to the queen's bloodline, likely something tied to the initial pact that was made.

DM Mitch 
Tuesday October 1st, 2019 7:18:42 AM
Garret mumbles ideas in his sleep.
Zane points out that peace might require everyone at the negotiating table. He wonders about the heart and the undead over the rings
Restlin stays quiet.
Wyarr points out the benefit of treaties.
Beri makes some points over the rings.

Isabelle looks at Zane and sighs, “You can try to bring the violent separatist to the table but they probably will attack you on sight. As for the foreigners, they are allowed to lease their coastal trading settlement farm, mine and lumber yard at the pleasure of the Queen. While they are affected by the events that are happening they don’t necessarily have a say in them. Whether they should be included is ultimately Esmerald’s call as she has currently not given them any privilege save for the ability to pay the lease and reap a taxed bounty from the land. She has temporarily extended to the Captain of one of their trading vessels diplomatic immunity as he negotiated the original lease / tax deal but he isn’t always present at their settlement.”

Mercutio adds, “They are required to abide by our rules with respect to weapons while on our shores. I’m fairly certain they do have some weapons stashed about the ships they anchor off the coast and row ashore in row boats but any ship that docks at the dock near the settlement is subject to searching and any ship that has been searched has proven to honor our traditions so far.”

Corgan says, “I can tell you that their coin is good. Granted they haven’t been producing as much food, lumber, or metal since our conflict with the Skeletal Troopers started. They are in the process of building wooden fortifications for their settlement. They are very industrious. The queen does not have a problem with this.”

Mercutio says to Wyaar, “Aye, lad. Good man. That is why I pressure her so to let me develop a plan B in case her calming effect fails but she fears becoming who she was so much that she won’t even contemplate the idea. Perhaps if she no longer had to deal with the temptation of the pact she’d allow our people some means of being able to defend themselves if they needed it. I do think if we can pull off peace with the Skeletal Troopers then they could be our defense force potentially. It might make for a compromise we could all live with, still there would be that artifact that would allow her to resume the pact hanging over all our heads so she probably won’t allow it.”

The Queen has still not returned. It has been about 20 minutes since she left the table.

She returns shortly later and passes around her letter it reads:

Dear Wenzel and the rest of the Company of Skeletal Troopers,

Words cannot convey how terrible I feel about the way I betrayed you by giving you an order to imprison yourselves indefinitely. I know that you are angry with me and that is why we are in our current state of conflict. I want to change things moving forward. You were heroes of our people, our fallen given new life and instrumental in winning this land for us. It is time that you too benefited fully from the victory we won. To that end I would like the bearers of this note to meet with you in neutral territory to discuss a peace treaty. If you agree to the standard terms of parlay then I too would be willing to be present but I need assurances I will not be attacked on sight. In the interest of a lasting peace between our people I would like to use the resources of Crystal City to help you build a city of your own. You would have full autonomy if you so desired and could be your own city-state or you could become an extension of the Queendom if you would prefer but the choice is ultimately your own. I made a decision on your behalf to both our detriments in the past so moving forward I would seek to always obtain your consent in anything that we do together. It would be my hope that we could move beyond this current state of conflict as equals with a common past and maybe one day the Crystal City and your new city state could become one again if we all agree to it. In the interest of seeing a better future for our 2 peoples I would open with your approval new seats on my Small Council that would be representatives of your people in Crystal City. If we can put this conflict behind us I would like to see us becoming trade partners with your people being given special status within Crystal City if any of you decide to visit. I would like any members of your number added to my Small Council to focus on how we could improve the relations between us. I await your response to the bearers of this letter and it is my sincere hope to be able to meet with you in person to discuss terms.

Esmerald

Garret falls out of his chair. He hits the ground and rolls onto his side. He opens his eyes and looks around, seeing nothing but chair legs and Iron Dragon legs. He moves to rest his head on part of the table, curls up, and closes his eyes again. A moment later, snoring can be heard from under the table.

Zane understands emotions well, having spent a lifetime trying to remain in control of his own, but he's also sure that if everyone doesn't have peace, then there will be no peace for anyone, but explaining this has reached a point of diminishing returns, so he just lets the rest deal with it, and relaxes his shoulders and takes a very deep breath, calming his center....

Everyone seems to like the letter and agree that they have a decent plan. The Queen seeing a sleeping Garret says to all gathered, “I think we should adjourn for tonight.

"Well then, we shall prepare for war and hope for peace. Thank you for being a wonderful Hostess."

Sesha, as usual leads her preparations with a Heroes Feast. (Everyone gets 11 temp hp in addition to the regular effects, lasts 24 hours). She makes the meal, but has Bosk sample it, especially the drinks. Those are his specialty!

She renews her contingency spell. If something goes wrong, it will bring her back her, instead of to her lab with her grown clone. She then renews all of her 24 hour spells, but still feels listless.

"What would you do here, Little Spirit?"

Sesha thinks for a minute, then realizes how long its been since she talked to Serenbeth. She takes the time to set up silver candles, and find a quiet corner of her room. She arranges a few items that bring her closer to her Power, a bit of incense that smells like Byrn Baraz, dusty and rustic. A bit of a funeral gown, and a childs block, carved with pictures of cartoony monsters.

Ready, she casts her divination spell.

"Hello Little Spirit. It's me again, your doting child. I've been gone so long from the coven, and my travels have brought me far from our little church. Are you well? Are you getting along with the other witches? Hopefully Y'zargo isn't up to too much trouble."

Sesha continues on thus for a long while, feeling the need to anchor herself spiritually once more. Finally, she comes to the point of the spell.

"Serenbeth, thus I ask, are the Skeletal Troopers going to inflict violence no matter what we do? Can they be swayed?"

Then she will cast a second divination, and ask the same question, relating to the seperatists.

"Thank you, Little Spirit. Good night."

In the morning, she also casts the greater magic weapons and enhanced armor spells, as requested for the others. (Nab a +5 if you need it!)

Sesha prepares for war and hopes for peace. She casts a divination spell to gather more information as well.
Wyarr prepares for the day.
Restlin watches Sesha skeptically
Tink thinks divination is a good idea.
Beri asks who should lead the talks and reminds people not to be threatening.
Garret is carried off to bed by some servant or other.
Restlin votes for tink to talk.
Bosk asks about the magic abilities of the other groups.

In response to her first question regarding the Skeletal Trooper inflicting violence no matter what they do the answer is, "They have free will."

In response to the second question regarding the Separatists the answer is "They are highly territorial."

The next morning Isabelle, The Queen's hand is there to greet you. She bears a map. She points to a spot on it and says, "This is where the separatist freeholders are. I'd advise you to steer clear of them as they generally attack all who would approach. She then points to another area closer to where you are than the freeholder's outpost and in almost the opposite direction says, "The latest intel we have on Skeletal Trooper movements is there is a contingent of them here. If you approach them under the flag of truce they should hear you out. What they do after they receive your letter from the Queen is anyone’s guess but Esmerald seems to think they’ll consider it"

Where to? (OOC: I only ask this question as Sesha's divination had her ask about both the Skeletal Troopers and The Separatists; therefore it seems like you want to try to go after both?)

Garret wonders how skeletons talk.
Restlin answers: magic.
Wyar makes a bare bones pun
Beri asks for a flag of truce.
Zane and Bosk follow up with more rib-tickling humor.

A flag of truce secured and several bad skeleton related puns later our heroes set out. You travel in the direction that Isabelle said will put you towards encountering the Skeletal Troopers.

As you near where you think the Skeletal Troopers should be you think you see something in the distance.

From 350 feet away
Perception DC: 19 Highlight to display spoiler: { You have found a column of large creatures }
Perception DC: 24 Highlight to display spoiler: {The large creatures appear to be made of bone }
Perception DC 29 Highlight to display spoiler: {You see the sun catch the gleam of something one of the Skeletal creatures appears to be holding up to their face. Mayhap it’s a spyglass}
Perception DC 34 Highlight to display spoiler: { Looks like the creature with the spyglass said something to some of its buddies. You notice several of the creatures near the one with the spyglass shifting positions and harmlessly lowering what appear to be projectile weapons of some kind. Looks like they saw the flag of truce }

What do you do now?

"They've seen us" Tink raises her hand above her head as a sign of greeting and acknowledgement of their presence "Large bone creatures. One with a spyglass. I think they've lowered their weapons"

Tink lets the others know they’ve been spotted.
Garret munches on food and wonders if the undead would like some or get offended at the offer.
Restlin comments they’re bigger than he expected.
Zane says they’re only bigger then some and mentions his bodyguard training.
Beri says they should make sure to keep their weapons away.
Sesha casts shapechange early so she’ll be ready.
Tink suggests any holy weapons be hidden away.
Wyarr hopes his presence won’t be offensive.
Bosk reassures Restlin and checks on his mace of disruption.

Our heroes approach the contingent of Skeletal Troopers, Tink in the lead. As you get closer you see that the Skeletons have lowered their ranged weapons as you originally thought.

As you get within shouting distance, one of them calls out to you, “Halt and state your business. We see your flag of truce and under the rules of combat we recognize your group as those who would engage us in conversation with no hostilities by either side until the flag is lowered. What brings you out this way? The nearest settlement is far away and you don’t appear to be from around here judging from the look of you, yet you do know our customs with respect to flags of truce so that is curious.”

Tink stops at the appropriate distance and raises her hand in greeting "Well met. We come bearing a message of peace from Queen Esmerald to Wenzel.

Sesha considers their surroundings. If they aren't surrounded by weapon toting undead, then she wouldn't worry. As it were, they had a number of defenses against such enemies.

She herself, had once considered the path of necromancy. She had sought knowledge of raising undead, mostly animals and beasts, never humanoids, but decided to abandon the pursuit when she got a grasp on just how many worshipers of Gargul existed, and thus, how short lived her pursuits would have been.

Well, it may be to early to tell what their feelings are on the subject, but so far it seems the queen was more than correct about them having retained who they once were and about the possibility of them listening to what we have to say.
Beri lifts up the letter in one hand, the seal facing outward where they can see it. Most places he'd been the royal seal has a distinct color so it was easily recognizable. Per their request he calls back.
In short, it is our understanding that the queen has broken from a generations old cycle that has left her filled with regret and has asked us to meet with you and help chart a new path forward. A path that she regrets not taking long ago, but hopes you are still willing to be a part of.

Bosk let's the others speak, but adds I just want to make one thing clear. Peace of our goal. Should something knock or force our flag down, or cause it to be lowered, we still wish to avoid hostilities. If a rogue undead attacks us, we still wish to seek peace. We know there are those who seek chaos and want to see these talks fail and may try to sabotage them. You have my word as Paladin for the Dead that we will give you the benefit of a doubt should something disturb our talks, and we hope you will show us the same courtesy.

Tink gives the message of peace from the queen.
Restlin appears non-threatening
Zane stays quiet.
Garret is amazed Tink is being visible.
Sesha reflects on her own long abandoned interest in necromancy
Beri reflects that the undead seem to be intelligent and holds up the letter from the queen.
Wyarr wonders about different weapon types.
Bosk tries to make it absolutely clear that they’re after peace.

The speaker calls out, “Wenzel you better take a look at this.”
He then turns back to Tink and says, “My name is Skelter. I do have a question. Just how committed to peace is the queen? Some of us want nothing more than to see her dead. I don’t think any lasting peace can be had as long as many of our number seek the death of the leader of the other side.”

In the span of moments since Skelter asked the question an imposing figure appears with a keen glint in his eye. He says, “Skelter what do we have here? Guests from a far off land? Under a flag of truce? Interesting.”

“Lord Wenzel. Sir. These emissaries bring a missive for you from Queen Esmerald. Apparently she seeks to treat with us in order to put an end to hostilities. I must say sir, I thought she’d return to the pact and you’d be destroyed and the rest of us enslaved. I’d say I think we have their backs to the wall.

Wenzel responds to Skelter, “Perhaps we do, perhaps we don’t; let me read that missive.”

He stands there for a long moment reading and then he says, “Well we can meet to discuss terms.” he indicates himself Skelter, a few other Skeleton Troopers and you, “...but the Queen is not invited. I don’t trust her. Some of our number want nothing more than to see her dead and if she isn’t prepared to sacrifice herself for her people I’m not sure if she can pay a price dear enough to end this war. I will however keep an open mind and hear you out. Where are these talks to take place and when?”

Restlin's brain starts turning. Not happy while she's still alive? She took her heart out, she wasn't alive NOW. He doubts that will mean much to these guys; there's not really a gotcha moment here. Did she say something about not being sure she can even die in the first place? He missed the Wold, where undead were always bad guys.

He breaks his silence. "If you don't mind, we're only working with one side of the story here. That's no way to begin talks. Maybe you can tell us your story in your own words? Can't very well claim we're neutral if we're only backing up one horse, right?"

Beri points off in the direction that he believes the shrine is in

We were told that there was a wayfarer’s shrine not far from here that would be a safe neutral location, if that would be acceptable to you.

One quick note, you had said that you do not trust the queen. We know here past actions were deplorable, but we witnessed her turn down renewing the pact. I know she is trying to make amends, but I'm also one to be overly cautions to make sure I'm not being manipliated. Is there anything beyond bad blood that would make you not trust her actions? Again, I do trust her or we wouldn't be here, but as Restlin mentioned, we have only her side of the story.

Sesha - 102/202. AC 30 
Tuesday October 8th, 2019 10:39:30 PM

Sesha isn't particularly amused at the responses.

"I mean, sure we are happy to talk about it. But whomever leads you needs to ask themselves the same question. Are you willing to do anything for peace and survival?"

She looks around.

"The queens willing to go so far for her people as to have created you. She's willing to treat with devils. She's willing to trust us, extraplanar outsiders who have a long resume of being good people, but that's all."

She takes a break, then continues.

"So all in all, I think that means that if you DONT treat in peace, she can probably find a person to play the agent of your destruction, even if it isn't us. It's what she, as a responsible ruler, is willing to do."

And finally, she connects the dots.

"So are you, or whoever is in control here, willing to preserve your kind? Are you willing to pacify, render harmless, or persuade your malcontents and accept the olive branch? Sure, it is difficult having to trust someone you hate, or did you wrong once, but...well...that's what rulers and leaders do, you know. Is ensure survival of their charges as long as possible."

She lets her mind settle, and curses her impulsiveness for not the first time.

"If everyone is on the same page, then real discussion can happen."

Bosk shakes his head. The queen still has the ability to return to the pact. Indeed, they are the ones of whom I spoke, those whom I fear might attempt to force us into conflict so that the queen will be forced to return to them. The queen wants peace and the safety of her people. She would prefer to reconcile with you over returning to the pact...I cannot see how forcing her back into the pact would be in your best interest.

Tink doesn't have much to add. She certainly wants to hear the other side of the story before passing any judgement. No, best to hear both sides of the case first. It's what a responsible Justicar would do.

I would like to clarify Bosk's comment. The queen appears to have no desire to have anything to do with the pact ever again, and she has learned from the mistakes of her past. That is the reason we are here instead. She is refusing to entertain the pact as an option unless all other options have tried and failed, but we also were told by her advisors that we may well be at the last option for peace.

Restlin hides his smile

Wyaar watches

Zane remains ready

The nearest Skeleton Trooper to Garret accepts the gift. Sniffs it. Then asks Garret, "What am I supposed to do with this?"

Wenzel says to those asking for 'their side of the story', "Well we were made from the remains of their dead to fight a war on their behalf. In all fairness we probably shouldn't exist and yet here we are. When the war was over the queen decided she didn't want us around anymore and ordered us to seal ourselves in a tomb and stay there. We did just that. A torpor took over us after we had followed the command to bury ourselves in there. One day the torpor left and we could move again. We discussed amongst ourselves what to do next and we decided we wanted to come out, so that is what we did. Lo and behold we found the war really was over, our side had won and the Queen had supposedly gone all peacenik. We had another discussion and we decided that she might not be using the pact now and she may not want to use it now, but as long as she and whatever artifact the pact is bound to exist we are one bad day away from her taking the pact up again and being disposable. Some of us feel that as long as she exists and has the capacity to re-enter the pact we are one bad day away from being her slaves."

To Sesha Wenzel replies, "We'd rather be destroyed as free beings than see a peace that is one bad day away from enslaving us all. If there is to be peace then the pact can never be engaged in again. The only way we currently see to ensure that is if the queen is no longer able to partake in the pact because she no longer exists. Can you guarantee another way that does not involve the destruction of the queen to ensure the pact cannot be entered in again?"

To Bosk and Beri Wenzel says, "She says she doesn't want to use the pact unless all other options have failed, therefore the power of the pact is still on the table with respect to this conflict albeit as a move of last resort or so she says. What happens in the next conflict? Will she really be so hesitant to use it then? Is the only reason we aren't under her thumb now because you lot showed up? We would prefer peace to war as we are tired of this constant warring though what other aptitudes we may have besides war given our nature we'd have to discover but we prefer the freedom of being our own masters and knowing that nothing can change that to a peace that is only as good as the Queen's willpower holds out. She might be tough but she has a breaking point."

Restlin is heartened. "Wait, that's the problem? We just need to find some way to make sure the Queen can't use you again instead of hoping a piece of paper she signs will hold up? Shoot, we can work with that!" He thinks a bit. "So, if we were to find a way to make that happen, would she still need to die before a peace could be worked out?"

Over the link, "Well, we know we need that heart eventually, we get her to give it to us, and since we are leaving this realm, wouldn't that fix the problem? and since it's the focus of the Demons, they'd be starting from less than zero, because they'd lose everything they had already invested into that heart.... We can also possibly get one of these guys to help us and by doing that, verify that the heart is in deed taken away from here.
Three effects, with one action...."

Garret agrees over the link, saying, "Indeed, this seems like an easy solution. I wonder if the queen will be so willing to give us that heart."

Bosk chews his lip. You do know that killing the queen will not free you, but rather it is the artifact that must be destroyed...not impossible...but more difficult than you imagine. The necromancer's necklace required a god's staff to destroy it, but this one could be taken to the place realms over lap and destroyed...we have the ritual needed... Though the risk to us is likely greater than facing an undead army.

Restlin asks for clarification with respect to the Skeletal Troopers problem with the Queen and if they can figure out a way that prevents the Skeletal Troopers from being used if the queen still has to die.

Zane points out how they can get three effects with one action if the queen agrees to give them the heart and they take one of the troopers to make sure.

Garret agrees with Zane over the rings wondering if the queen will just give them the heart. He then explains the soldier he gave the meat to should chew it.

Bosk points out that killing the queen will not free them but destroying the artifact would and they have a way that should accomplish that it would just be more risky than facing an undead hoarde.

Beri asks if destroying the artifact would accomplish the goal as an alternative since he thinks that could be accomplished.

Tink asks the Skeletal Troopers about the demons they encountered in the well paying attention to their reaction.

Wyaar points out over the rings that the queen should be willing to give them the artifact if she wants peace.

Sesha is pleased with the answers she received. She lets the others handle things.

Wenzel says to Restlin, "There may be some who yet lust for her blood, but if you could ensure that our freedom from pact enslavement is guaranteed then I think those holdouts could be made to see reason and accept an alternative solution."

The soldier starts chewing the meat and says, "I wish I could taste the meat like my constituent bodies could when they were alive."

Wenzel says to Bosk, "The way we understand things there is the artifact and there is the queen and the 2 of them combined constitute the threat of the pact. We don't really know where the artifact is or what it even looks like so going after that would be difficult. The queen is but a fairy, one skilled in battle but she is physically weaker than us so in theory we could end her if ever engaged in a pitched battle and she did not invoke the power of the pact."

Wenzel says to Beri, "If you can facilitate that that should work as I said We'd have to work on the hold out but the majority should be able to live with that deal."

Tink gets the sense that about 1 in 5 skeletal troopers are more militant towards the queen in their demeanor than Wenzel is. 2 seem to be as open as Wenzel and the other 2 seem to be ambivalent.

Wenzel says to Tink, "We have been newly freed from the imprisonment the Queen inflicted. We have not seen the demons you spoke of recently. We were aware they were the entities that the pact was with. Although from what we understand their knowledge led to our existence, we bear no love for them. If you are seeking them out to end them and we knew aught that could help you we would share it but sadly we don't."

Tink senses no deception in the statement.

Wenzel says to the group, "Do you have any other questions? I will need a little time to gather those I need for the parlay at the wayfarer's shrine. Our moratorium on the queen being present stands until we can guarantee the pact has been defeated. Once she no longer holds the power to enslave us with a whim then we will treat with her directly. Until that time we are comfortable dealing with you. This is our condition. Take it to the queen, secure whatever additional power you need to make the negotiations. The same goes for members of the Queen's council save for Mercutio. He seemed like an honorable sort. We would not object to his presence. Is there anything else you feel we need to hash out before the meeting?"

Garret shrugs at his new friend and says, "But maybe just chewing it could be enjoyable? Some people like that kind of thing. Me, I'm all about eating, but that's probably just me." He looks at the skeleton ribs and continues, "I can't even imagine what it's like to never be hungry."

Restlin nods. He says nothing, allowing Tink to do her thing, but he's happy with how this turned out.

Of course, he had a very good idea about how to deal with the Queen's heart...

I believe the queen will agree to those terms.
Beri considers the ritual that they need to do.
Actually, one more thing we may be able to offer to aid in peace, would it help if one of you were to be the one to destroy the object of the pact?

"Interesting. These demons seemed very determined to widen the rift between the Queen and yourselves. They wanted a war and were very unhappy that we offered to help find a peaceful solution. I daresay they will try to meddle further and that we should all be alert."

Tink nods in agreement with Beri "I think that's a good idea. Once terms have been agreed then some sort of public display would be a good way to show the commitment from both sides."

"Should there need to make further preparations before the meeting and we need to discuss things with you, would this be the best place to find you?"

Zane again lets the others make the arrangements... He just stays quiet, but over the rings, "Garret, ever think that he might be permanently hungry?"

DM Hugh - Of Skeletons and Diplomacy 
Saturday October 12th, 2019 1:18:24 AM
Garret suggests chewing could be enjoyable to his new skeletal friend but says he's all about eating.

Restlin says nothing happy with how things have turned out. He has an idea how to deal with the queen.

Beri suggests the queen will accept those term and asks if it would help if one of them destroyed the object of the pact.

Tink suggests they all be on guard for the demons. She thinks it is interesting they have not contacted the skeletons. She then agrees with Beri and asks how they may contact them should further arrangements be necessary.

Zane suggests to Garret that his skeletal friend is permanently hungry.

Sesha has nothing else to add.

Wenzel says to Beri, "Now that you mention it, if that is possible then yes we would like to be the ones to end the pact by destroying said object. I think that would go far in convincing the hold outs to accept the terms."

In reply to Tink Wenzel gestures to a nearby Skeletal trooper and he takes out a small chest. Inside of it are 2 coins. He grabs one and holds it up to Tink, "This coin has been magicked to allow for the person holding it to be able to communicate with the person holding its twin even over great distance and vice versa. I will hold the twin, and one of you will hold it. Should you need to reach us just use the coin. Not that I think I have to tell you this as you seem honorable but we will know if you attempt to use this coin for any type of spy craft or treachery. If one seeks to communicate with the holder of the other the coin will vibrate. Speak the command word "Moshi Moshi" and the connection will be established. This command word answers the call directed at the coin or causes a call to be made on the other coin.

Plans are made, an agreement to meet at the wayfarer's shrine is set and you can return to the Queen having made plans for a parlay at the shrine.

The return back to the Crystal City is uneventful and the gate is thrown open at your return. "Enter Quickly!" the guard calls out and you oblige.

You are ushered to the palace grounds and taken immediately to the Queen's council chamber. She is sitting with Mercutio, Corgan and Isabelle.

"What news have you to report of the Skeletal Troopers? Will they accept the parlay at the shrine? What of my presence? Will they treat with me directly or do they still demand my head?" She says looking expectantly at you.

Tink gives a small bow to the Queen "Wenzel was very receptive to peace, your highness. He would prefer not to interact with you directly until after peace has been agreed. Given the feelings of some of the warriors I think is wise to keep you apart. They are happy to meet with Mercutio however"

"Regardless of other details they were clear on one thing: for any peace to be achieved, any possible methods you have for controlling them must be destroyed."

Over the rings he adds, "As good a cause as this is, let's not forget why we're here. If the skeletons destroy the heart, that kinda leaves us boned. Also, if the queen has no heart, she probably qualifies as undead herself."

Garret makes a wrong turn when being escorted to the queen's chamber. He does not realize it until he is completely out of sight of the group. He wanders around a bit and looks for tapestries or anything else depicting some history of the place. Eventually he wanders around long enough that he finds his way back to the chamber and tries to slip into line with the others, hoping his absence was not noticed.

Beri responds over the link.
If the skeleton destroys it BEFORE the ceremony there would be a problem. But I believe they meet our needs for the ceremony, and if I remember the queen did not seem to qualify.

DM Hugh - A meeting with the Queen 
Monday October 14th, 2019 10:42:40 PM
Bosk stands back and lets the others do the talking.

Tink points out how Wenzel seemed receptive of peace but that some of the warriors would prefer not to interact with the Queen and Tink agrees. She does point out that Mercutio would be welcome at the negotiations.

Wyaar points out that some of the Skeletal Troopers are worried that the queen won't make any concessions but they are willing to talk and listen.

Restlin points out that in order for peace to be achieved any possible means of controlling them must be destroyed.

Zane suggests the queen could willingly help them over the rings and it would go a long way toward convincing the skeletons.

Garret took a wrong turn and is slightly late to the meeting.

Beri suggests if the Skeletons destroy the heart too soon it would be a problem for their ceremony.

Queen Esmerald says to the Iron Dragons, "What is it they are asking me to do? Destroy the pact artifact that was once my heart? I tried that once and it would not break. Granted the Skeletal Troopers possess a strength beyond my own but I don't think brute force will work. Perhaps some magic can be brought to bear against it. Have you any idea? I'd gladly be rid of the cursed thing if it would secure peace."

To Mercutio she says, "What say you old friend? Will you go in my stead with these Iron Dragons to the negotiation table? As previously stated I will not give my life for peace for I feel my death would imperil the Crystal City. I will cede to the destruction of the artifact if it in fact be destroyed. I am willing to give them resources needed to establish their own home, whether they seek full autonomy or a place in the Queendom the choice is theirs. If they want autonomy I'd offer them trade and travel to the Crystal City and spots on my council will be reserved for their emissaries. These are the things I have authorized."

Mercutio says, "If you trust me to be present at negotiations I would be honored my liege. The thing is diplomacy and negotiations were never my strong suit unless you count aggressive negotiations with swords. I will bear witness and provide moral support but I believe Restlin, Katinka and the rest of the Iron Dragons should take the lead here as they seem much more diplomatic than myself."

The Queen replies, "So be it."

She looks back to the Iron Dragons and says, "What say you then? Will you escort Mercutio my royal witness to the negotiations that you will carry out on my behalf. You know what I have authorized. If they demand anything else, I would wish to be consulted as I think I'm being more than fair. Some things requested may seem innocuous but their could be implications to what they ask so I would prefer to be consulted."

She motions and a potted sapling is brought out. "If you need to contact me say No-ky-a into this plant and it will open up a communication channel between us. If I need to contact you the leaves will russle and you can say the same command to receive my sending. Is there anything else you need prior to negotiations or anything you'd recommend with respect to offering the Skeletal Troopers?"

Tink is very pleased with the result "This is excellent news, your majesty. Finer points may come up in the discussions, so we will contact you should anything come up that Mercutio is not authorized to negotiate"

Tink pauses for a moment.

"Uh, if we have the coin that allows us to communicate with Wenzel and his troops, why not start the negotiations right here and now? We can hash out the details via the coin and when terms are agreed we take it from there? No need to journey out in the open or be at risk, and we can take as long as needed to reach an agreement"

Sesha - 102/202. AC 30

Restlin speaks up about the heart. "Your majesty, we may have a solution for dealing with your heart.

"We came to this world looking for two things: a heart of good, and a willing and powerful undead to help us complete a ceremony to stop a rogue god from wreaking havoc in our world. We think he's a rogue god...jury's still out on that one. Either way we need to bust him out of his prison and deal with him. You seem to be a good and just ruler. Your heart would serve us well and would be destroyed in the ceremony. Seems like a win-win to me."

Tuesday October 15th, 2019 11:38:24 AM
Garret nods to Restlin and says over the rings, "I wonder if we should take the heart with us now to show to the skeletons? We could let them try and destroy it, and they would likely fail. And then if she's willing to let us take it away, we can show the skeletons that we've taken it?"

"Letting them try still has a chance of success and if they succeed then we fail or mission. So I am against that, sorry Garret.
I still say offer them the chance to send one of their number along, joining us, with our full intentions informed to them. Explaining our mission to them as well so they get to decide.
Then state that by helping us with our ritual, they will get to be involved with the probable destruction of the Queen's Heart and thus ending her ability to exert control over them.
I say probable, because we assume the hearts will be destroyed and the "people" assisting will not, but there is a chance of both or neither....."

I agree. We should also make sure that we tell any would be volunteers the same thing we told our other volunteers. I believe it was something along the lines of confirming that the ritual was safe, but that we can't guarantee their safety after it's complete. Though something tells me that after all they have been through that there we be someone who thinks that stopping a second corrupting force that is a danger to life everywhere is just icing on the cake of destroying the talisman of their own pact.

Bosk notes that the most important aspects are covered and lets others direct the conversation.

DM Hugh - A meeting with the Queen 
Wednesday October 16th, 2019 12:51:11 AM
Tink is most pleased. She agrees to contacting the queen via plant and suggests the start the negotiations using the coins.

Sesha thinks that some people prefer negotiating face to face.

Restlin suggests they have a solution to the conundrum of destroying the heart and tells the queen what their goals are.

Garret suggests they take the heart with them so the skeletons will fail at destroying it but they can demonstrate the queen's good will."

Zane advises against Garret's suggestion as a small chance of success could still see them losing the heart but instead they inform the skeletons why they came and seek out a volunteer for the ritual amongst their number.

Wyaar agrees with the others.

Beri agrees and suggests that they tell their would be volunteer that safety is not guaranteed after the ritual but that seeing a second corrupting force destroyed might be an icing on the cake.

Bosk notes the important parts have been covered.

Queen Esmerald says to Tink, "You may try to contact Wenzel with your suggestion, but they might suspect a trick in the changing of the terms. As long as the Skeletal Troopers keep their word the only thing really out there of any concern is the occasional wild beast and territorial freesteader fey folk who have left the fold. The shrine is not near any rogue freesteadings so you should be ok there. I'm sure the 8 of you and Mercutio are enough to hold the shrine from any beast. Mercutio, being away from the calming effects of the Emerald City would be free to engage in combat in the event that you were threatened by a beast. It may be wrong for me to encourage it, but I've had your old armor and sword removed from storage in the treasury and seen it polished. I know these things are technically banned but your armor and sword were such nice pieces I couldn't bear to see them destroyed. I"m a sentimental fool in that way. I've had the sword slightly altered to be bejeweled so that it looks ceremonial but I can assure you it is quite functional still. Corgan will accompany you outside the gate with Isabelle and they will give you the crates containing these items outside the gates of the city. They will also meet you outside the city on the way home to take possession of them again as your armor and weapon are only being released to protect you on this mission, should things turn hairy."

To Restlin she says, "Secure peace with the skeletons and you may have my heart to take with you when you go. As to the heart itself tell them that you have seen with your own eyes where it is stored and it is securely away from the Crystal City. Assuming you negotiate a peace and you have a ritual participant in tow on your way back you may stop at the well we met in and claim your prize,"

Esmerald says, "Contact Wenzel if you wish regarding long distance negotiations and then make any preparations you need for the journey to the shrine,"

The Queen makes some good points.

This was going surprisingly smoothly. Restlin is torn between accepting good luck, and wondering what's going to inevitably muck all this up. In the end, he shrugs and figures they'll find out soon enough.

"Yea, I think we're good, Tink...actually, wait. Your majesty, just how well can Mercutio handle himself? Do we need to be overly concerned with protecting him, or can he take care of himself?"

*Restlin asks under the assumption that Mercutio is not present. If he is, he just sizes the man up instead.

Tink asks if everyone has anything they need to head out.
Restlin sizes up Mercutio.
Garret looks and nods at the queen
Wyaar says he is ready.
Zane indicates his readiness
Sesha quips that even with her near him he has queen’s offering him their hearts.
Beri is ready to head out too.

Mercutio while seemingly older has the look about him of someone who does know how to handle himself in combat though it has been awhile since he had seen any. Still though it doesn’t take that much to get back into it.

You get a hold of Wenzel using the coins and he is eager to begin negotiations face to face. He has assembled the officers he would like to be with him and is enroute to the shrine himself.

You set out for the shrine. Corgan and Isabelle meet up with you outside of the city and Mercutio puts his plate mail on and tests his bastard sword with a few strokes. He grins and says, “This is much better. Who knows maybe once the threat of the pact is gone Esmerald will relax and let us defend ourselves again. I suspect it is only her fondness for me that let me have my arms and armor released as it wouldn’t do for me to be caught unawares.”

You make good time reaching the wayfarer’s shrine and the trip is uneventful.

You have beaten Wenzel’s contingent to the shrine.

It is a small open structure with an altar a light bauble and a few tables. A statue of a traveler is near the structure with various small offerings at its feet.

What if anything do you do to prepare for the peace talks?

Restlin sighs at his paramour. "Whatever did you do in previous lives to warrant having such a philanderer as your betrothed?" He smiles and wraps an arm around her waist as they set off.

...time passes!...

He makes small talk with Mercutio as they walk, trying to get a read on him. Everyone's seemed so nice; he's curious to see what they're like outside the city-wide no violence zone.

"What's the story with these offerings?" he asks. "Does someone collect them, or are they here for any travelers who need them?" He notes with some appreciation how similar that sentiment is to Wardd's. He pulls off his pack and digs through his things. He pulls 50' of rope from it, and places it in front of the statue*.

*Assuming that's an appropriate offering. If not, he doesn't.

Zane give a nod to the statue as they arrive, then takes a look around getting an idea of the layout the area.

We should be prepared just in case they attack, I'd also suggest we alert the Skeleton contingent of those worried when they arrive, so it'll not be a surprise to them."

DM Hugh - The Shrine 
Friday October 18th, 2019 12:09:10 AM
Restlin makes small talk with Mercutio as they travel. He tries to get a read on the man outside of the effects of the Crystal City. When they reach the shrine he asks about the offerings at the foot of the statue.

Garret takes a seat at one of the tables and looks around expectantly for a waiter.

Wyaar searches the area for traps and other hidden things.

Zane suggests they be prepared in case of an attack and also to warn the skeletons so they aren't caught unawares.

Tink lets the skeletons know they are at the shrine and ascends 40 feet to get an aerial view.

Beri also ascends to the air and looks out for any threats like the demons. He suggests that Tink be ready to warn the skeletons in case they get attacked.

Sesha compliments Beri and uses some low level buffs.

During the trip to the Shrine Mercutio regals Restlin of tales of exploits from the war as well as bawdy tales from his youth. When Restlin asks about the statue the man says, "Good eye. Yes the statue acts as a kind of leave what you can, take what you need area. Rope is a good offering."

No waiter ever shows up at Garret's table.

Wyaar does not find any threats on the ground nor secret passageways or hidey holes. This is a rather WYSIWYG area.

Wenzel responds to Tink that his contingent should be joining them shortly.

Tink observes the statue tradition is similar to Waard's back home.

Beri and Tink do not observe any threats from the air and are able to get a birds eye view of the Skeletal contingent approach.

Wenzel is joined by Skelter and 7 others.

The contingent arrives at the shrine and Wenzel says, "Hello again Iron Dragons and Mercutio. I thought it fitting our numbers were matched and beside my second Skelter here we have elected 7 representatives to negotiate the peace. I believe you know Skelter. These are Aerin, Piper, Blade, Sly, Cujo, Wilkins and Ouivel" at each of the skeletal troopers he brought with him.

Wenzel places a small canister at the foot of the statue. "I think leaving an offering is the least we could do to thank this place for being here so that we could meet."

"Mercutio, it is nice to see you again. How long has it been?" Wenzel asks

Mercutio says, "Too long. I wish things could have been different. We did see some action during the war together. I'm mereley here to act as a royal witness and lend some authority to the Iron Dragons. You know me Wenzel, I'm more of a blunt instrument than anything else. The Iron Dragons will take point in the negotiations and should you request something we aren't authorized to approve we do have a way to contact her majesty quickly in order to discuss. Shall we get to business?"

Wenzel replies, "Yes I'm interested in hearing more about your proposal to destroy the artifact by the hands of one of our number. What can you offer on that front?"

He looks expectantly at you.

Restlin's heartened by Wenzel and Mercutio's friendliness. He decides to start talking. "Right, pleasure to meet you all, first off. We do have a way of destroying the heart for good. Stroke of luck really, since it's exactly what we came to this world to find.

"We have a rogue deity of sorts back in our world. He was locked away many years ago with a...well, with a pretty convoluted scheme. We've spent a great deal of effort tracking down the who's and what's that we need; one of those what's is a powerful heart of goodness." He puts up his hands. "Philosophy of and reaction to the Queen's actions over your shared histories aside, the heart does fit our needs. It will be destroyed in the ritual. Plus, if for some reason it survives, we have a specifically tailored demiplane in our tower we use to dispose of cursed and evil magics. We throw it in there, it is never coming out.

"Her majesty has already agreed to let us remove the heart from this world should these talks prove fruitful, so let's assume it's a done issue. What other impediments to peace need to be handled?"

Garret sits at the table, his legs swinging back and forth since his feet don't reach the ground. When the group shows up, he smiles at them from the table. When each is introduced by name, he waves at each skeleton. When they are done, he waves to the seats next to him at the table and gestures for them to join him at the table.

Exactly. It is our understanding that much has been tried in this realm to destroy the heart, and all attempts have failed. As for having one of your number destroy it, this is actually a requirement. You see, the ritual was designed such that the required components and actors could not be found within our realm. Per your question, what we offer is to bring one of you with us to destroy the heart in the ritual, then we can return you afterwards.

Full disclosure, after the ritual there will in all likelihood be a battle between the rogue deity and his counterpart. The short version is a battle between good and evil, though the full story is much more complicated and nuanced. While the ritual itself will be safe, we can't guarantee what will happen after. However, the alternative would be to let the rogue deity escape unchecked at full strength, and that would result in death to any realm he reaches.

One more thing, I believe the coins we used before should be functional. We have used similar communication between the realms. So you should be able to stay informed as to the status of the ritual and have confirmation as soon as the heart is destroyed. Would that satisfy you on this front?

Bosk lays his own offering at the shrine.

Restlin explains the reason why they came and that the queen has agreed to give them the heart and the ritual they need to perform requires one of the skeletons. He asks what else is needed for peace.

Garret gestures for the skeletal contingent to join his table and they are soon seated with him.

Beri further clairifies Restlin's point and explains the risks involved but that the coin technology should work for communication between realms.

Bosk watches the reactions of the other group

Zane comments over the rings.

Wenzel strokes his chin and says, "Interesting and convenient," To Mercutio he says, "You trust these Iron Dragons when they say they have the ability to destroy the heart?"

He then says, "What of the other ritual participants and presumably any other accouterments that you need. Have they all been gathered? How long would we have to wait before one of us can be done with the pact once and for all?"

Mercutio says to Wenzel, "They've been nothing but honest with us since they got here and they helped talked her majesty off the ledge with respect to actually using the pact, so the way I see it you kind of owe them."

Skelter says, "I volunteer to be our representative assuming we make this deal."

Aerin says, "Can you tell us more of this contingency vault should the ritual itself fail to destroy the heart. Ideally we want it destroyed but if there is a chance the ritual won't work then we need to be extremely sure that locking it up in the vault will prevent anyone from ever recovering it."

Piper says, "We would need to do everything we could to assure the troops that the ritual would work. Remember some are calling for the queen's head as the only way to be truly sure the pact is not a threat."

Blade says, "Assuming we go through with this sticking point what of the resources to build our own autonomous city? What is the queen offering and what guarantee does she provide that we would be sovereign?"

Sly says, "Is the queen going to try to forcibly disarm us the way she has you folks for the most part once we are settled down? Granted we are walking weapons but there are things that can be done to make us less formidable and we do have a natural right to defend ourselves that should be recognized"

Cujo says, "Yes any deal we strike with the queen has to include 3 things. 1) The destruction of the threat of the pact. 2) A guarantee we will never be conscripted against our will and 3) some recognition of our right to bear arms."

Wilkins says, "Mayhap we draft a formal document outlining the rights we wish the queen to recognize with respect to our people?"

Ouivel says, "Tell me more of the positions reserved for us on the Queen's council. What responsibilities would be expected and what privileges granted? If we have this guarantee of rights would the queen respect the rights of our representative in her city or would our representatives be expected to follow the local custom?"

It seems like there are other details to iron out before peace can be achieved after all.

"Well," Restlin starts. "We do have need of a powerful, willing undead to complete the ritual as well. They won't be killed by the ritual, but there's likely going to be some fireworks when it's complete. We can't guarantee anyone's safety, but you'd get a front row ticket to the ritual. You could confirm yourselves that the heart's been destroyed."

Tink tries to address some of the concerns

To Aerin: "Our vault houses many dangerous objects that we have procured. It remains secure and stores the objects in such a way as to protect the world around them"

To Blade: "I am not sure as to what sort of resources the Queen would provide for the construction of a city of your own. What is it that you think you will need? We can then put that back to the Queen"

To Sly: "I don't believe she will try to forcibly disarm anyone. As free people I expect that sort of decision to be your own"

To Cujo: "What sort of guarantee would you be looking for in terms of never being conscripted against your will? What is it that the Queen could offer that would be satisfactory to you?"

In response to Ouivel: "Mercutio? What do you know of the positions the Queen is offering on her council?"

"Once an Item goes into our storage hole, it's keyed to only us. As in we are the only ones able to open it. and in our years together, I've never had a reason to even open it.
And remember, that option would only need to be used, if somehow the Heart survives the Ritual. Which we've been assured won't happen.

As to help building your city, I would expect if you asked The Queen for assistance, it would probably be given.

But remember respect and assistance go both ways. The Queen has disarmed her City, When you are invited to visit there or for any reason, I'd volunteer to leave your weapons behind. Seeing as you are like myself, you are the weapon, extra weapons are mostly redundant.

From meeting her, I believe the Queen wants to make this peace work.
This peace will take effort from both sides, it won't be handed to either side on a silver platter. If both side have to work together to achieve a peaceful resolution, it will last longer and mean more to both sides.

Here's a thought, Since both sides are going to end up working together, you could make part of your offer as being responsible for everyone's safety by becoming Guards of the Land.
There are a lot of things both sides can do to promote this peace.

Well, I've said what I need to say."

DM Mitch

Restlin offers a front row seat to the destruction of the heart.
Wyarr nods along
Tink addresses several points the undead brought up.
Sesha is worried things are going too well and something might show up to mess things up so keeps alert.
Zane explains about their storage, the disarmament of the queens city, and muses on how they two sides might work together.

Piper Aerin and Skelter all reply with some level of affirmation to what Restlin, Tink and Zane said regarding the ritual and the contingency plans should it fail.

Blade says to Tink, “We need the resources to craft our own fortified position. I’m not sure what we want to make the walls out of, the crystal city was shaped out of the surrounding mountain. I don’t think that will work for us so we’ll have to build our own walls whether they be stone, wood or some other option I’m not sure.”

Sly says to Tink, “Does the queen not expect her people to go unarmed? How long before she tries to do the same to us without some guarantee?”

Cujo says to Tink, “I don’t know. Do you have some spell that will bind the queen by her word that she won’t disarm, conscript, detain or enslave us?”

Mercutio says to Ouivel, “Well if you decided the route of autonomy then your advisor roles on the council would serve as goodwill ambassadors between our people. They would advise the queen on matters pertaining to your people and hopefully foster the sort of free trade and travel we are looking to see between our peoples. If you decide to rejoin the queendom then again you’d be tasked with improving relations between the Skeletal Troopers and the fey but you’d have more formal titles.”

Ouivel says to Mercutio “Interesting and what kind of recompense is the queen offering these advisors.”

Mercutio says, “The ambassadors or ministers of fey / skeletal trooper relations would be eligible to draw the same salary that I and the other council members draw. You would serve at the Queen’s leisure but we could try to alter the terms so that there is a more representative way for determining who your folk are and what their terms should be. We can iron out the details later but this is technically a better deal than any other advisor role currently on her council when you factor in the fact you could have your own autonomous city.”

Wenzel says, “I’m not sure we need magic perhaps an old fashion treaty with some type of document recognizing our rights appended to it would suffice?”

"Geas can be broken. Not easily, but it is possible." Restlin keeps his doubts it would work on the heartless queen to himself. He also notes no one volunteered to help w/ the ritual, but he decides to hold off until the other details are worked out to bring it up again."

Under the circumstances I think that paper would suffice. It seems to me the biggest issue for this meeting is making sure everyone's concerns are addressed. We know trust will take a long time to be fully restored, but I believe destroying the heart will do more dispel concerns about people's motives and to cement a lasting peace than anything we will do here. Once the biggest promise is carried out I believe everyone will be able to respect the treaty we are working on, and the trust generated from that action will foster stronger bonds of friendship then one that feels forced by magic.

Tink, too, is in agreement that some sort of non-magical treaty would best serve. "Magical binding would seem like forcing a certain behavior. For this to succeed everyone needs to actually desire peace off their own accord"

She looks about and nods "I think we've made some real progress here today towards ensuring a peaceful future"

DM Mitch 
Tuesday October 22nd, 2019 8:26:33 AM
Garret goes for a high five.
Wyarr agrees that a regular treaty would work best.
Restlin points out geases can be broken and wonders who will come do the ritual.
Zane has had his say.
Beri also agrees that a paper treaty is best and talks about the task of building trust again.
Bosk lets the others settle the details.
Tink thirds the agreement on no magical binding.

Skelter high fives Garret back and says, “You heard me. We collectively agree to this and I’m in. I’ll do your ritual, destroy the heart, help you with your deity problem and then if the heart somehow survives the ritual, see it tossed into your vault of no return.”
Cujo says to Restlin, “There needs to be some sort of contingency in case the queen decides to get tyrannical. That is why we must keep our arms and that right must be guaranteed if magic will not bind her behavior.”
Wenzel says to Beri and Wyaar, “We tentatively have your ritual participant in Skelter, my second. While he is free to undertake this task, all I ask is that he try to come back in one piece. I think I’ll need his council in the times ahead. It seems like Mercutio and Blade can hammer out the details regarding city construction. I’m sure that old skinflint Corgan will want to have a say with respect to our request if Mercutio has to consult the Queen but that can’t be helped. Also it seems like Mercutio and Ouivlet can hammer out the terms of the council positions and if we do decide to formally accept the offer. With that being said I guess we can do a preliminary poll to see how we are feeling with the prospect of a tentative rough agreement where we front one Skelter, the Queen fronts one artifact embodying the pact and Skelter, the artifact and you go complete your ritual. We can have a ceasefire while we wait for you to return and tell us the outcome.”

Wenzel looks at the others and say “Aye”
Skelter looks at the others and says “Aye”
Sly looks at the others and says “Nay, we need to hash out the respect of our rights first”
Cujo says, “Nay, I agree with Sly”
Blade says, “Abstain, I cannot vote while the defense of our people in their new home is up for debate.”
Ouivel says, “Aye but I would like a council seat should we accept the queen’s offer with respect to her council”
Wilkins says, “Nay, I too would like to have at least a draft document recognizing our rights in process before we agree”
Piper says, “Aye and lets speed Skelter and the artifact on their way”
Aeren says, “Nay. While I have hope for Skelter and the ritual Sly raises a good point.”

Wenzel says to all assembled, “So that is 4 ayes, 4 nays and 1 abstainment. We are well and truly split.”
To the Iron Dragons he says,”What can you do to help us reach a quorum? The larger majority we have for this decision the easier it will be for any potential holdouts amongst my people to accept. It is quite possible that if this outcome is contested it could spark a revolt amongst our ranks and then I couldn’t guarantee any peace we may have thought we won.”

"I'm sure that we can get a document,with the Queens signature assuring everything that has been agreed to, with the proviso of the hearts destruction of it's placement in our storage facility on a different plane.
I also would like to add a suggestion to be added. That we arrange a way for both sides to be able to reach us, The Iron Dragons if either side should happen to think the other side has violated the agreed upon terms. We do not have a side in this dispute, other than seeing a just and peaceful solution for everyone. And as I said before, I think that your side being responsible for over all safety on the land makes sense. Those Demons that made the original bargain with the Queen are still out there, and I doubt very much if they will just give up trying to take over. Either from this continent of by starting on another and bringing their evil here."

Tuesday October 22nd, 2019 10:32:30 AM

Sesha listens.

She understands they desire to take and take, to fill the hurts from the past. She's willing to try and ask them to give.

"I'm sure the Queen could probably acquiesce to quite a bit of this, but you are asking for the world. While you have that right, how about something else to bind both sides."

She considers the attitudes at the table, before settling on Blade.

"I like that you are considering the wellness of your people. The queen is considering hers. How would you feel then, adding a clause that weaves both sides together? Should the demons return, with any force or threat, led or allied by either side or an outside party, lets decree that any forces under the command of any party signing the treaty is obligated to fight against them."

She points at the commanders.

"Break your military arm up into smaller branches, each of you leading an equal force. The queen shall do the same, such as it may exist. There is a consideration for Mercutio to lead a peace keeping corps, so there's that."

She shrugs.

"This way, should anyone dishonor the treaty and attack the other side, especially aided by the demons, there is a credible threat immediately ready to restore the balance."

She doesn't even bother to hide the obvious flaw.

"If you all decide to rebel against the peace and overthrow the queen...which is FAR more likely than her gathering a force and doing the same.." She shrugs. "Such is diplomacy."

Restlin ponders on Sesha's complex plan.

"Or, we could just draft the document a few of you asked for. We've got some big brains in this gathering, surely we could hash something out."

He takes off his pack, and pulls out a small box and paper. He opens the box, digs through his crayon collection until he finds a pen, then closes it. He finds someplace comfortable to sit and start writing, then he does so. He starts off with a lofty preamble about putting aside past differences and coming together for the good of all and the combined protection of their shared lands. He specifies a few specifics in the meat of the treaty:

The skeletal troopers will have rights equal to the living citizens of the land.
Two troopers will serve on the council with rights and responsibilities of all other council members. The method for determining these two members is left to the troopers to decide.
The heart the queen used to bind the troopers will be destroyed before the treaty takes effect. If it cannot be destroyed, the Iron Dragons will confiscate it and seal it away in their dimension, subject to confirmation by all parties.
Borders will be open between the two, though visitors are subject to local laws.
Both parties will enter into a defense pact with the other, requiring military assistance in the event one side is attacked by outside forces.

Diplomacy check to write a suitable treaty: 65

He puts his pen down. None of this solved the issue of insurance against the queen double-crossing these skeleton folk. Then, he remembers the great equalizer in diplomacy: money. He picks up his pen and writes down one last point:

Free trade will exist between the two parties.

He puts his pen down again. "No treaty is fool-proof, but this sets both parties up for success. If you want further insurance against betrayal, tie your economies together. Let any hostilities from any party come with huge economic costs. Magical confinements can be broken, but large numbers of starving, unemployed citizens cannot be ignored." He pushes the pen and paper forward, "thoughts? suggestions?" he asks.

Ah, a third party mediator clause is a good idea. I get the impression that the queen is trying to be more than accommodating and don't foresee any big issues, but knowing that there is an impartial group that can aid in disputes.

Also, Sly, would it address your concerns regarding protecting your rights if some of your people were placed in key law enforcement and court positions? ... I would offer a more specific job title, but I really don't know the law enforcement structure here.

Zane suggests they add a way for the sides to contact the party as a neutral third party if needed.
Sesha suggests ways to insure the treaty is kept
Garret agrees with Restlin
Restlin suggests they go ahead and write down a rough draft of the treaty.
Beri likes the idea of a neutral third party. He suggests that some of the undead be placed in key jobs
Tink looks over Restlin’s shoulder as he writes.

Wenzel says to Zane, "You would serve as neutral third parties with respect to the enforcement of the treaty? How long does your group expect to live? We don't know about the queen and unless we are destroyed we believe we will last for a long time to come. If you folks aren't as long-lived as we whom in your world could we turn to in your stead or would your guarantee last as long as you were alive only?"

Sly says to Sesha, "That is why we must not be disarmed. I'm not saying we go immediately to armed revolt but if she becomes Tyrannical there has to be an option of last resort."

Cujo points to the first point of the treaty and says to Restlin, "Why not spell out certain rights in this document? Please specify our right to bear arms and our right to be no ones slaves or conscripts in the part detailing where we the Skeletal Troopers become citizens of this land."

Aeren says, "I like your idea Cujo."

Wilkins says to Zane, "Could we have your part of neutral third party arbiters enshrined in the treaty as well?"

Sly responds to Beri, "I think that would be a good idea, let's add it to the treaty."

Blade says to Restlin, "Also formally recognize the queen's offer to help in the construction of our own free city."

Wenzel says, "It would appear that if we can hash out these last few points then everyone may agree and as long as you are successful in your mission on your world we would see peace."

Restlin sees zero concerns with the troopers' requests, but isn't in a position to detail the specifics of the queen's assistance in the construction of their city.

"Mercutio, I need your input on construction assistance. What is your kingdom willing to offer?"

Assuming he provides an answer, and the troopers accept, Restlin will include that decision on the document as well.

The requests for the right to arm themselves and avoid slavery and conscription are included as well.

He pauses before he enshrines their responsibilities to serve as arbiters between these two people to the end of their days. "We can certainly act as arbiters to a point, but I think there needs to be a limit. How about we agree to serve as non-binding arbiters for a period of five years?"

"I'd recommend 15 years, that'll give them time to get their feet under themselves as a new combined civilization. That would be the extent of our Arbiter duties, but They could contact us or our Successors in the Consortium if they need help, but the Consortium would only give suggestions to both sides as a way to reach a solution. They would be a source of external advice, sort of like what they do for us, but most of the time when we ask, they just rephrase the question and let us answer our own questions...."

Wednesday October 23rd, 2019 9:20:21 PM

Sesha frowns.

Fifteen years was a short amount of time as far as nations were concerned. As far as elves in general were concerned. But Restlin? Fifteen years would put him well into his thirties, and on route to his forties.

For not the first time, she wondered if there was something she could do to expand his short, but bright and vibrant life. At least if something came up, she could maybe leverage her House into trade with this realm.

It wasn't much for compensation, but it was the most she could get without feeling like she was shirking her responsibilities here. She would try for five though, before agreeing to 15.

"I think five years is significant. After all, patching up relations here might be a great way to involve junior dragon groups. Just the same way Valdor and his ilk are using us.. to handle things.. that they should probably be doing..."

Suddenly, Sesha is cross.

Beri nods towards Zane and Restlin.
While I respect that you want to encourage them to work together, I get the impression that this won't meet their concerns, after all they just asked about our life span. Would it make more sense to say that we will be the arbiters, but have the addendum that a court system equally made up of both sides should be established within that time frame? That both encourages both sides to work together, but also addresses concerns stemming from the fragile trust that exits. Arbitration may not always be necessary, but knowing there is accountability behind these words will further strengthen the treaty, and give everyone confidence that the push for peace is being made in good faith.

As for how long our guarantee lasts, I will need to get approval but I believe the Dragon Consortium will always have someone willing to arbitrate even long after our mortal lives have passed.

Tink is still a little distracted by the legal document, terminology, and basically all of this negotiation stuff. When things are ready to be formalized she's certain she can find an Oathbound somewhere in the Pantheon temple back home to certify it all.

Bosk explains what the Dragon Consortium is.
Garret helps Garret with spelling, grammer, and penmanship.
Wyarr isn’t so into writing things.
Restlin documents the requested features and asks about limiting the arbiter clause to 5 years
Zane suggests 15 years.
Sesha prefers 5 years.
Beri suggests they make it temporary while a court system is set up.
Tink is distracted by the legal document.

Mercutio says to Restlin, “The queen is willing to offer construction / settlement assistance. On that she was quite clear as to the specific materials or the amount on that she did not say. If you would permit me to contact her royal highness on the plant she gave you I will get back to you in a moment.

Mercutio reaches out on the plant and you can kind of hear part of his conversation. “The skeletal troopers are asking for specifics regarding building their own city my liege. They want to know the type of building materials and amounts we will help them acquire.”

He pauses as if listening to something. “Ok, so that is enough of the material they desire to build a city that can house all the skeletal troopers and provide them with fortifications on par with that of the Crystal City.”

“Thank you for sorting that out your majesty.”

After ending the communication he says to Restlin and Blade, “That good enough for the treaty.”

Blade says to Restlin, “That is more than I had hoped. Yes. Quick right it down what is it they call you? Mage Priest is it? What an odd title”
Wenzel says to Zane and Restlin, “Considering you are not as long lived 5 to 15 years seems like a fair amount of time to continue to serve as arbiters between our 2 people considering you are not of this land in the first place. If you are a part of a larger organization of your caliber than I would be okay dealing with any replacement they would send should you be unable to perform your duties during that time.”

Sly and Wilkins both agree, “Seems fair” they reply.

Wenzel says, “Well with that lads I think it is time to call another vote on our treaty and sending Skelter on his way to deal with the artifact. Aye”

Skelter looks at the others and says “Aye. Now let me away with this hungry little one and his friends.” (he indicates Garret)
Sly looks at the others and says “Aye. The treaty spells out our right to keep and bear arms and not be anyone’s slave or conscript”
Cujo says, “Aye, I agree with Sly”
Blade says, “Aye. We will fortify our new home with walls of stone”
Ouivel says, “Aye, but I get one of those council seats we negotiated”
Wilkins says, “Aye and we finally have all we were looking for”
Piper says, “Aye and I’m jealous that Skelter beat me to volunteering”
Aeren says, “Aye and I’d like to know as soon as you can that the artifact has been destroyed.”

Restlin decides to split the difference at 10 years, but commits the entire Dragon Consortium rather than just the Iron Dragons. He decides it's a prime use of asking forgiveness instead of permission.

It also lets him shuffle the responsibility off to the Sea Dragons. Heh...

Aeren, I not sure, if there's anything that says you couldn't travel with us as a witness. You wouldn't be able to participate, because Skelter already volunteered for that job. Just remember that after the Ritual is complete we expect there to be a massive fight between to God like beings, so it is doubtful that it will be a safe location to be around afterwards.
We, as Iron Dragons are expected to be there, and we've warned those who are willing to assist us, as well as promised to do our utmost to insure their safety.".

Of course we'd have to sign it too, though he's curious as to why we're doing it first.

Everyone signs the document. Mercutio nods after seeing the Iron Dragons leave their marks and then dips a feather pen in an inkwell before signing his name with a flourish.

The contract is passed over to the skeletons and one by one Wenzel, Skelter, Sly, Cujo, Blade, Ouivel, Wilkins, Piper and Aeren each sign their names.

Wenzel and Aeren walk over to where the Iron Dragons are and ask, “Shall we go now? The artifact isn’t going to destroy itself.”

Agreed. We hopefully don't need to be too paranoid, the demons seem to have strong restrictions caused by the pack. I get the impression that they are bound to only carrying out the will of the Queen, or at least something along those lines. After all, they didn't carry out their threats to attack us and we got the very strong sense that they were bluffing to the queen. If they were going to attack, it would have been more likely before a treaty was made and the queen saw without a doubt that peace was an option. I hate to say it, but at this point nothing changes if something happens to us. The queen would see the heart delivered and our skeleton friends would see to it that it was destroyed in the ritual.

That said, I'm all for not making stupid mistakes. Do you want me to summon any support before we go in?

Bosk nods in agreement. As a backup, I can place the heart in a bag of holding or portable hole.

Tink agrees with Zane.
Bosk proposes a way to keep the heart from being taken from him.
Sesha smiles at Bosks suggestion.

Without much delay you set out for the well you investigated shortly after you arrived. (OOC: Please post a marching order)

Luckily for you Isabel’s map did provide the location of the well in reference to the wayshrine where you had the treaty signing at.

It should take you a while to get there depending on if you fly, or walk. Of course teleportation is an option if you have enough spell slots to cover 10 people. Just remember if you are going to fly, you are going to have to provide means for Aerin and Skelter to fly as well seeing as they are large and flightless despite being constructed from the bones of fairies.

Beri transforms into an air elemental of a size that will have no size issues withing the well, and will fly above the group and offset slightly to the left.

Between Tink, Restlin and various reduce spells you have the ability to get everyone you need teleported to the well. The Queen responds to Tink’s message with an affirmative.

The ground shifts and where you were once in the vicinity of the wayshrine you find yourself near the entrance to the well.

The well itself is fairly narrow going down the shaft and you can remember it isn't large enough to accommodate a large being but then spreads out to be big enough to accommodate all of you and your two skeletal guests. The altar with the heart rests a little bit to the back of the large chamber from what you remember.

Tink will head in first. There have been no indications of a problem (so far) and her gut tells her to trust the Queen. It's just those demons she doesn't trust.

She tries to hide in the shadows as she descends into the well. She'll report back to the others if she sees anything untoward or if it is safe to follow

You descend to the bottom of the well sending your scout elemental there first.

No one detects anything evil or otherwise and the altar sits to the back of the chamber, the stone heart with the locket resting on top of it where last you had left it.

Things stand in stark contrast, empty save for yourselves in comparison to the crowded well full of the demons and the queen when last you had been here.

All that remains is for you to claim the “heart” from the altar and with Wenzel and Aeren as a backup in hand you have everything you need to complete the ritual back in the Bone Tower where the rest of the participants await.

Bosk is thankful for his dark vision and blind fighting abilities. As Restlin moved forward he prepares to cast shape stone from a scroll to encase one or two powerful enemies, or, in the case of a larger group, to cast blade barrier among them and then to create a wall to seal off the group trapping them within the blades.

Just in case Bosk says [b] We know you are there. Come on out.[b]

Restlin is ready to go
Garret watches
Wyarr knocks an arrow, just in case.
Zane plays bodyguard.
Tink remembers a time when she might have tried to slow the Medicant down.
Sesha is embarrassed she can’t remember a ritual.
Beri prepares for an ambush.
Bosk says something just in case someone is listening.

Skelter and Aeren see the heart at the back of the cave. Skelter says,”After all this time it was hiding down here?”
Aeren says, “I’d have to imagine we could destroy it here and now, but if the Iron Dragons have need of it then we should wait.”

Restlin approaches the altar and claims the heart. Nothing pops out in ambush.

Restlin only Highlight to display spoiler: {As he holds the “heart” in his hand Restlin can feel a pulsing. Grasping it he also feels a heavy weight on his shoulders as if merely holding it makes him responsible for what happens to many people. Is this some side effect of the artifact or just the impression he gets from what this item symbolizes for both his people and the fairies / skeletons he can’t say}

From there it is a fairly easy ascent to the top of the well and the nearby gate that one can reach from following the path away from the well.

You did tell the queen you’d be returning but I’m sure she would understand if you reached out to her via plant and let her know of your change in plans.
Is there anything else you want to do before entering the gate and returning to the Bone Tower?

Restlin is suddenly very eager to get out of this well. He flies up and out, landing on his two feet before taking a deep breath of the morning air. "This really is a beautiful world. I'm so glad we were able to come to a peaceful solution that doesn't get anyone hurt. And those demons! SO GLAD we stepped in before their filth spread further, you know?"

He smiles warmly. "This is going to be a good day for all of us, I can tell." He waves everyone over to him. "Come on folks, group hug time. We've spent a long time getting all these parts together for Gargul. You too, skeleton folk! I really hope everything turns out ok for you. Just remember we're here to help with whatever you need."

He wipes a single tear away. "Really, really beautiful world they have here..."

As tempting as it is to just head out, we did tell the queen we'd head back and we don't want to start this treaty off by having someone break their part of the deal in the first few hours... especially if it's us.

That said, the queen will feel safer with the demons out of the picture, and everyone will feel better when the first part of the pact is solidified. Let's check in with her and see if she would rather come in first or complete the task. It's probably the wiser course, wish we thought of the before hand. As long as she's okay I'm ready to go.

Restlin starts a group hug. The undead seem hesitant, but join in.
Zane joins in the hug, as does Garret and Wyarr
Tink tries to contact the queen to appraise her of the situation.
Beri points out that they did promise to go back to the queen.
Bosk agrees with Beri.

Tink does get a hold of the queen and she waves away the idea of them heading back. ”You’re report fills me with hope. Go with my blessing back to your home and accomplish your own task.”

With nothing keeping them there further the Dragon’s return home. The familiar swirl of the portal occurs and they find themselves back in the portal room. Waiting for them are all those gathered for the ritual; Dock, Uthras, the holy undead, Megaman, the strange undead/construct futuristic hybrid, and the Watcher, mysterious ancient construct. The Custodian watches over the proceedings, animate orb of destruction set to guard this place.

...and Agatha is there, in full ceremonial garb. ”The ritual area is prepared for you. We must hurry; the armies of Marteous come.”

Tink purses her lips. Agatha.

Anything Tink has to say to her right now would likely not be constructive.

"We could always, you know, go perform the ritual ourselves and ask her to slow down the armies. Perhaps by standing in front of them"

Sesha seemed to have been the one with the best rapport with Agatha so waits to see her take on things.

As long as Agatha is being discussed, Beri keeps his thoughts limited to being shared over their rings.
Let's not play games with this one. When a god gives you a mission to complete and the enemy is knocking at the gate, you don't waste time. Let's buff, make sure our new allies know both how to reach the exits once the ritual is complete, and let's have a backup plan to keep them safe if they can't get out after the ritual, then let's make Gargul proud.

Garret wants breakfast first.
Wyarr says there will be time later.
Restlin tells Agatha they’re expected.
Tink wants to suggest Agatha go fight the army on her own.
Zane tells the others they’re not being very nice.
Beri suggests they act quickly and proffesionally.

Before the team can head for the ritual room, one of the portal flashes and a seemingly half surface-drow steps out from it. The Half-Surface Drow is impeccably dressed in a white robe reminiscent of Restlin’s fancy getup though it is cut much differently. The drow also has a pendant in the shape of Serenbeth’s holy symbol around its neck.

It calls out to the group, “Don’t mind me folks. I come in peace. I’m just here to observe the saving of the world. It isn’t something that you get to see everyday and I was fortunate to find a ritual that would allow me to come here and observe. Think of me like Chuck, Aeren, or the Custodian. I’d aid you if I could but let’s just say I’m not qualified to given the strict parameters of the ritual.”

Sesha and Restlin : Sense Motive 25 Highlight to display spoiler: { Something about this half-surface drow seems familiar but you can’t quite put your finger on it}
Perception: 40 Highlight to display spoiler: { You see a signet ring of the house of Avon? on the half-drow’s finger.}

Megaman asks, “Shall we go to the ritual room?”

Agatha leads the way up in silence, either to concerned or to aware of the dislike from several members of the party to say much. They find themselves back in the room where they first fought the Death Dragon cult; no wonder they were set up there. The detritus of the battle has been cleared, along with many of the objects and living space, giving everyone a clear range of fire for the coming battle. With all of it gone the design on the floor is much more evident; an intricate pattern of arcane and divine runes swirling across the floor, the walls, even the ceiling - this room, the entirety of it, must be the lock, dormant, but no doubt impossible to crack without the powerful tools they’ve gathered. You might be standing on top of the prison even now.

The remnants of the cult are scattered about the room, moving things out of the way and otherwise preparing. Gealen and Sprocket approach, Sprocket going straight to Agatha’s side. The leader of the cult bows to the dragons deeply before speaking, ”We have done what we could to prepare the area. The enemy will know as soon as the ritual is started and throw everything they have at us. There will be no seige or climbing the tower; Marteous made his home here long enough to know it’s defenses and bypass them. Expect constant arrival of enemies from all sides. The longer we wait, the more forces they muster. Marteous himself shouldn’t make an appearance unless his followers fail; may the gods have mercy on us all if he comes early. Once the ritual is complete, should you let us, we will perform one of our own to empower our god and give him a chance to survive against his foe. All our hopes rest with you Iron Dragons. We will give our lives to see you succeed, and we pray that you will find it in your hearts to give our god the chance he deserves.”

Set up in the center are 5 unlit braziers arranged at 5 equidistant points. A large bowl of silver dust rests near the braziers and an aged tome with newer annotated pages alternating with aged one sits near the dust. There are torches within easy reaching distance of each unlit brazier.

The old tome has a diagram on one page of a number of lines connecting the 5 braziers to each other and what appears to be instructions for how to carry out the ritual that have been translated in some of the newer pages interspersed with the old. It would seem that the silver dust is needed to trace the rune patterns between the 5 braziers. Then someone starts reading from the incantation in the tome.

While that is going the brazier at each of the five points is lit in turn and the heart is either tossed into the fire or consumed by the ritual participant.

When each heart has been consumed by participant or fire and the incantation finished the ritual is considered to be complete.

It would appear the ritual still has some assembly required. (OOC: If you are drawing the lines in silver, make a spellcraft check)

Gealen answers any questions before moving off to arrange his forces in a defensive formation. Agatha stays behind to make one last plea to the party, “We did our best to try to get everything set up for you, but you and Marteus’s forces arrived before we could quite finish. The runes need to be drawn connecting the braziers and then the ritual can begin. I know we didn’t get off to the best start and maybe Kevintar wasn’t the best being in the past, but he has changed. Give him a chance to prove himself like another adventuring group gave Eberyon once upon a time when he woke from his slumber. He won’t let you down.”

Both skill checks are autopass.

The ring, the lineage, the undeniable fashion sense, the unmitigated gall to just show up and watch at a time like this? Many, many thoughts flutter through Restlin's mind, but this situation with Agatha means he doesn't have time to indulge them.

I mean...who do these people think they are? "Agatha. Sproket. Gealen. WE ARE ON A MISSION FROM GARGUL FOR PETE'S SAKE. Maybe, JUST MAYBE if you'd been honest from the start we wouldn't have to just trust you, or Kevintar. Maybe we could have had a chance to discuss all this with Gargul."

This is all made much more difficult by the fact that deep down, Restlin's got a hunch they're right. Something with Marteus wasn't adding up here. Why would his forces be trying to stop this ritual? Frankly, doing anything that involved being on the same side as Marteus didn't sit well with him, even if it was at Gargul's request.

Then there was the matter of Bosk being asked to disregard his god's orders. If the Iron Dragons had shown anything over the years, it was that they put their relationships with each other above everything else.

"Bosk, what's your call here, dude? You've got the most to lose if we get this wrong."

Sesha observes the half-drow. Whereas Restlin is able to put his thoughts away and focus, she cannot. She lets Bosk and Restlin and Tink navigate the spellcraft and ritual for now.

She notices neither his ring, or his familiarity. But that he is a drow in Serenbeths rainment is enough for her.

She elects to speak in her suface drow tongue, as far as she knows, only she speaks it.

"Who are you, that wears the pendant of Serenbeth? How did you know this point in history was one to observe?

Tink notices the ring on the drow's finger and, speaking the language, knows what Sesha is saying. Who is this guy? It seems to be one more surprise addition to the ritual and it makes her a little wary. "If you are here to aid us then you are welcome. However, who are are you? When the battle starts, what should we call you?"

She turns to face the party "I'm prepared to help draw the lines if you can cover me". She's hoping one of the muscle will stand beside her.

She won't begin until Bosk gives the nod.

If they are able to round up more troops by the seocnd let's not waste time. Roughly how long do you think the ritual is going to take to complete? And you said to expect constant arrival of enemies from all sides... I only see one entrance, please point out where else they would be able to come from. Is it possible to block other entrances and funnel them through one route?
Beri does a quick review of his surroundings to determine how much warning they will have prior to the arrival of each new wave. In preparation he will summon 3 small earth elementals to hide in the walls... they will not fight, just alert people to incoming people. Prior to starting the ritual or at the first sign something is coming, Beri will cast Call Lightning Storm and summon a storm giant

Restlin takes in the half-drow, a bunch of thoughts flying through his head, however he doesn’t have time to deal with the half-drow at this point and instead focuses on Agatha, Sprocket and Gaelen. He’s torn by how things went down with them contrasted with appearing to be on the same side as Marteus. Still though Bosk is a direct follower of Gargul so he asks Bosk his thoughts on the matter.

Garret concentrates on the friendlies so he can know who is on his side when things go down.

There is Dock, Megaman, Uthras, Skelter, The Watcher, The Custodian, Aeren, Chuck, the mysterious half-drow, Agatha, Sprocket, Gaelen and the rest of the survivors from Kevintar’s faithful. It would appear that Megaman, Uthras, Skelter, The Watcher, The Custodian, Aeren, and the cultists can probably handle themselves. Chuck and Dock are most likely non-combatants and might need some protecting. You don’t really know enough about the mysterious half-drow to know if they need help or not but by their own admission they came here seeking a show using powerful magic so they probably can handle themselves.

Sesha’s attention is drawn by the mysterious half-drow. In the drow tongue she asks who the mysterious half-drow is, drawing significance to the Serenbeth pendant and how it is the half-drow knew this point was significant.

The Half-Drow replies to Sesha in the same tongue, Highlight to display spoiler: {“I am a follower of Serenbeth as was my mother before me. As to why I knew today was important, well I grew up hearing stories of it, that made it sound too fantastic to be true from my father who had a penchant for exaggeration but was a good story teller nonetheless and just had to see with my own eyes if the tales were true. Luckily for me I can wield the type of magic that can accomplish this feat, unfortunately for me as I already stated I am merely a witness to what transpires here today, but I mean that is only fair because this isn’t my story, this is the story of the Iron Dragons.}

Zane surmising the same as Garret’s assessment asks the construct to be careful and then starts getting his preparations ready.

Dock makes the chiming noises at Zane indicating the affirmative.

Wyaar knocks and arrow and opines that he doesn’t serve Gargul but he opposes Marteus on principal but they have been given a mission and they should see to it.

Tink notices the half-drow, his pendant and his ring and asks who the half-drow is, welcoming aid, asking what they should call the half-drow when the battle starts. She then volunteers to start drawing the sigils using the silver powder.

The half-drow says to Tink, “Let’s just say I’m a big fan of all of you and if I could aid you I would but the ritual I used to get here was very strict about not altering the outcome, needless to say I can look after myself so you don’t have to worry about protecting me when everything goes down. As to what you can call me, call me Spectator, you already have a Watcher and a Custodian.”

Beri plans to summon 3 small earth elementals to use as scouts and a giant before turning into an air elemental himself. He asks Gaelen how long he thinks the ritual should take and why he expects enemies to show from all sides if they only have one entrance.

Gaelen says to Beri, “Remember, the Bonetower was once Marteus’s prison as well. If stopping the release of his brother is that important to Marteus then Marteus would do what he could to empower his followers to take shortcuts that might not necessarily be what you would call conventional. It will take several minutes to complete the ritual.”
Bosk replies that Gargul trusts them to do what’s right so they should start the ritual and look after those that came with them.

I'll protect the area around where Dock is going to be for the Ritual, as well as the general area on that side. If we have a chance I'll refresh haste between waves, so i'll leave my extend rods with Dock, because once I become a Dragon, I won't be able to access them if I keep them with me.

Bosk's statement seals the deal for Restlin. Looks like they're fighting Marteus.

He joins Sesha, looking the newcomer up and down. He doesn't speak surface drow, which will probably be an issue soon. He makes a note to learn the language. He looks the half-elf in the eyes and smiles. "Chronomancy is a dangerous game, kid. Hope the show's worth it." He puts an arm around Sesha and kisses her on top of the head. "Let the boy have his fun, love. We've got to get things ready for those poor fools who are about to burst in here." With a wink and quick pat on the arm, Restlin heads back to the ritual area and starts helping Tink prepare.

Sesha eyes the boy, her gaze intense. She studies every part of him that she can commit to memory, and her mind is a good one.

"I pray to Serenbeth you stay safe, child of House Avon."

Sesha had an idea at least, in her mind, of who he might be. She was certain he knew exactly who she was.
=----

She allows Restlin to lead her back to the ritual. She finds Agatha, and takes the Witches hands in her own.

"I feel like I've always understood you, Agatha. As best as one Witch can understand another. I still trust you, and pray you give me a reason to keep that faith. I have no trust for the Kevintaur, but no love for Martaeus."

She thinks for a moment.

"Our original position was that we would not interfere with your interference once Kevintaur was freed and forces arrayed against him. As long as it does not put me in conflict with my loved ones here, I am willing to adjust my stance to being more proactive. You've got my support, in exchange for your aid in finding a way to call back Serenbeth, when that time comes."

Sesha, at the critical last moment, will cast a round of spells.

Then she hands out some gear.

Tink: Potion of Heal
Zane: Potion of Heal
Restlin: Potion of Heal

Then she casts a Divination.

"Little Spirit, I think today I found a gift, perhaps from you. I've seen a thing, that I think maybe, is a reminder of why we do the things we do as Dragons. Is there any advice, my loving patroness, that you would impart upon your most faithful?"

She pauses.

"I seek to aid another Witch in her restoration of the Kevintaur. While he was a beast in his past, she swears to me that her dream is to see him reborn, where he can affect a new domain and be helpful to those who need him. While I honestly don't care one whit about him, I always seek any aid I can in your own restoration. Through him, or perhaps Agatha, I might come a step closer. If this thing I am to do repulses you, and you prefer that Martaeus re-slave the Kevintaur, I shall make your will my own."

(To DM: I am not looking for a scene breaker here. Anything is helpful. Perhaps advice on energy resistance, or perhaps the name of a couple of spells to use with Spell immunity?)

By this stage Tink is quite focused on finshing the drawing of the lines. There will no doubt be time concerns and she needs to get it done as quickly as possible.

She's grateful for Garret to watch her back while this gets done.

Spellcraft check: 42

OOC: In terms of the map I'm not sure if the lines are in the "Ritual Area" or around the "Seal". Can you please move Tink and Garret to where they should be and I can then take it from there? Thanks

Sesha - 230/230. AC 40 
Wednesday November 6th, 2019 8:41:08 PM

Taking a moment to catch her breath, Sesha considers her two summoned guardians, Alice and Hope.

She always felt a pang of regret when she looked at Alice. Headstrong and young, she had taken a doll made of a young girls flesh as a trophy from a dark and evil tomb. Tinkering with magic, she had unbound the soul of the child from the doll, and to herself by accident.Alice never complained, but also never spoke. She went about her tasks like a sulking, chastised child. Head down, tears in eyes, and shuffling quietly. Sesha suspected that every moment that Alice was in her corporeal form, she was in great pain. And of course, she hated herself for that. She would often sit among her strange menagerie of friends... her animated cauldron, her simulacrum, her ragdoll guardian, and her ghostly champion, and do what she could to make them feel loved. It was a strange family, but it was hers.

Hope was another story altogether. Given to her as an aid by Serenbeth, originally there were four spirits, all young drow priests murdered in the darkest times of her ancestors past. There was .. something.. that happened to the Witches of the wold, and next time she summoned them, they were one being. Sometimes, a different child held dominance and determined the physical appearance and personality of the ghost she summoned, but there was something of all of them in there now.

Both had served her often and well in her service to Serenbeth and the Dragons. She only hoped now they could serve her once again.

Sesha gives Hope her flaming, speed tear. It helped the Witchfire in combat greatly. She casts Unwilling Shield on Alice, feeling guilt again. Alice would share her pain, and help her in the battle to come.

I'm surprised Gargul set this up in a manner where enemies could just be brought in... I suppose we aren't exactly talking about normal mortal's abilities though, and the real effort would be spent on the lock itself.

Beri considers what he was told about the enemies and decides to summon a second storm giant prior to the start of the battle so that they will have more coverage. He also tells both of them to cast call lightning as the spell Call Lightning as soon as they arrive.

[b]Marteaus is not just any god. He has the knowledge of how each of the Cult Gods achieved Godhood and what it would take to remove any of them from godhood. He is made of Gargul's own essence and can elevate those he deems worth to godhood. He is not an easy one to keep out.[b]

As the ritual commences Bosk casts more spells. (Continue with those listed above, and if there is a jump forward he also casts air walk, fly, freedom of movement, and hide from undead)

Zane suggests that Chuck should take cover and makes plans to protect the area where Dock will be. While doing this after he goes dragon mode he’ll give Dock his rods for safekeeping.
Garret stands by Tink protecting her while she draws her lines
Restlin finally gets to the mysterious half-drow “Spectator.” He makes a mental note to learn the drow language and cautions the kid on chronomancy while hoping the show was worth it. He then rejoins Sesha briefly before helping Tink finish the ritual silver lines.

The “Spectator” says to Restlin, “Well Chronomancy sure is restrictive that is for sure and being able to see you all like this is definitely worth it”

Wyaar keeps watch as things progress.
Sesha prays to her patron the mysterious child of house Avon stays safe.

The “Spectator” bows to Sesha in response to her prayer for his safekeeping.

Sesha then approaches Agatha telling the other witch that she’s willing to not interfere in Agatha’s aiding of Kevintar as long as it doesn’t endanger her friends reminding her of their deal regarding help with Serenbeth.

Agatha squeezes Sesha’s hand and says, “Thank you. Though I serve Janiterri, Gaelen has convinced me that Kevintar has changed and through helping him return in a redeemed form we will be closer to bringing back some of the Serenbeth Sisters.”

She plans out her defenses both for herself and her companions going so far as to hand out some gear.
She casts a divination explaining the situation as best she can regarding Kevintar, Agatha and Marteus.
Her little spirit responds, “Trust your feelings. As to the upcoming battle perhaps be wary of Polar Rays, Firestorms, Disintegrates and Delayed Blast Fireballs”
Sesha then summons Hope and Alice casting spells and giving them items too.

Tink finishes the lines closer to the tome while Restlin is able to get the ones farther out. She should be able to read from the tome should she wish when she finishes the lines.

Beri wonders why Gargul set this up in a manner where enemies could just be brought in and decides to shore up his own defenses with a second storm giant.

Bosk explains to Beri that Marteus is not some normal God having been constructed from Gargul’s own essence and having the knowledge to undo each cult God. He then also buffs his own defense.

Gaelen says, “Yes Marteus is formidable but so is Kevintar. They were once in balance of each other while they served Gargul’s desires before Gargul reformed in his own way. Kevintar like Gargul his father has seen the error of his ways and wishes to share with people who have experienced hardship that redemption can be had if you work at it. It’s interesting because it is almost like a balance on Marteus should Kevintar return successfully. Marteus wishes to shape his followers through the use of hardship and purging diseases applied externally while Kevintar seeks to help his followers really improve by changing things from the inside out, empowering them to realize the best version of themselves in their mind’s eye and manifest that outward. I wonder if Marteus is more threatened by Kevintar for old time’s sake or for the fact that what Kevintar now preaches is a sort of positive alternative to the path Marteus offers.”

With the ritual lines drawn the only thing left to do is get started. Is everyone prepared? (tip: enemies will come from all directions, you may want to spread out to cover the ritual from all sides like the Kevintar Cultists have)

Alright. Now to get to the pointy end of things.

Tink takes the time to cast Resist Energy (Fire), Resist Energy (Cold) and Invisibility. She then alerts the others to the spell she is about to cast

"I'm going to cast a Shadow Evocation spell to create the illusion of darkness. It's just an illusion. Trust me. You should be able to see through it. To everyone else though who doesn't know it is an illusion, it will appear to be a darkness spell. They won't be able to tell the difference unless they come and interact with it"

She casts Shadow Evocation (Darkness) centered on the seal.

"Let's do this."

Sesha - 230/230. AC 40 
Thursday November 7th, 2019 9:38:22 PM

After thanking Serenbeth, Sesha shares the information with the others. Pleased that once more, Little Spirit is in her corner, Sesha can't help but smile. Overlooking the defense plan, Sesha pulls a small cube out of her pocket, and sets in on the ground near the grand priest of Kevintaur.

"Woldsblood.", she says in her surface drow language.

The cube grows instantly, 20 feet square and 30 feet high, with arrow slits on all sides and a crenellated battlement atop it. The metal walls extend 10 feet into the ground, rooting it to the spot and preventing it from being tipped over. The fortress has a small door that opens only at the command of the owner of the fortress—a word which Sesha shares with everyone.

"Wyar, High Priest, Mage Priest, Megaman... anyone who primarily is a ranged fighter, this might be a good location for you. You can hide behind the slits and fight on the battlements. It should help you not get swarmed by enemies."

Sesha herself shapechanges, briefly taking the form of a raven, making her way into her tower
tower, where she again resumes her natural form. She casts a couple more spells with her new knowledge, then waits for the chaos.

To break the seal, a breaker must stand at each point. At the apex, the undead construct. In addition, two other undead and two constructs, also intelligent and free willed, must aid in the ritual. Each one must stand at a point of the pentagon and praise my name. Then the undead must each consume a heart while the constructs burn them. One heart of virtue, one heart of sin, one heart of order, one heart of chaos, and one heart of balance.

Garret looks around and activates his tattoo.
Zane uses a lesser extend rod to haste the group and 2 of the storm giants. He hands the rod to Dock and starts turning into a dragon before buffing himself with displacement and spell resistence.

Dock pulls out some rope and ties the rod to his body as he is getting ready to do the ritual.

Wyaar protects himself against fire, cold, electricity and then tosses up a death ward.
Restlin also wards himself against fire and cold before standing near Uthras and Megaman ready to kick some butt.
Tink also protects herself against fire and ice before opting to turn invisible. She also throws up a shadow invocation of darkness making her teammates aware of this subterfuge.
Sesha gives thanks to Serenbeth after sharing her divination results with the team. She then takes out a cube of Woldsblood and pops up a reinforced battlement suggesting the ranged fighters in the group take advantage of it. She shapechanges briefly to a raven on her way to the tower herself and then resumes her normal form casting more spells.

Megaman says “as soon as the ritual’s done I’ll advance to the tower. Agatha has figured out how to use something in her backpack so that I can use some of my weapons for a short period of time in this tower.”
Gaelen says, “I’ll have myself, Agatha, Sprocket and the rest of our casters head there provided there is room”


Beri follows Restlin’s lead in warding himself against fire and cold. He then gives his giants orders on how to proceed while readying some lightning strikes of his own for when enemies appear.

(OOC: Yes they do the actual action part and praising part but there is some accompanying chanting that goes with their parts)

The lines are drawn. The Ritualists take their positions; the hearts are placed. Tink begins. Immediately the runes around the seal began to glow, a glow that quickly spreads throughout the room. Soon everything is brilliantly lit by the glowing runes, so tiny and numerous that they form a uniform glow from every centimeter of the room as the words of power from the ritual echo throughout the room. There’s no turning back now; everyone can feel the power emanating from the lock, power enough to easily obliterate the ritualists should they fail to breach it.

For a long minute nothing else happens. The Kevintar Cultists shift about anxiously awaiting the enemy. Only Gealen looks unruffled by the wait.

Then suddenly the room is full of enemies, appearing out of thin air in every direction. There is no cry, no order to attack, just swift, effeciate, and coordinated magical assault as they appear from nowhere.

The Knights all cast Meteor swarm - two fail, but the other 6 kill the remaining Kevintar warriors and monks. The Golems are unaffected, and the storm giants both die. Zane and Bosk must make 8 reflex saves vs DC 27; 36 damage for every fail, 18 for half on success.

The Archmages cast Polar Ray on Zane, Agatha, Bosk, and one of the Kevintar Preists. Only the priest is hit, it narrowly missing the other 3 (missed by 1 AC on all 3 XD)

.Sesha.

It might only be the first wave, but the sooner the ritual was secured, the better. In a hurry, Sesha doesn't bother messing around.

She begins by casting timestop, using her greater extend meta-magic wand, Sesha finds herself with an exceptional amount of time in which to act. As time slows to a crawl, she withdraws six vellum scrolls and arranges them before her.

As she begins chanting, the first scroll starts to glow, emitting soft blue light. Soon after she begins, it burns itself into ash, and the next scroll does the same. Two scrolls are read, and two great allies are summoned. Four scrolls remain.

"A bloodwitch is not constrained by the pettiness of good and evil, thus neither is my vengeance. You shall not interfere.", she whispers to her unmoving foes.

Sesha then reads the next four scrolls. With each ones completion, a tiny bead of orange energy is deposited near the archmage. They hovers there, waiting for time to snap back to reality. Sesha walks lightly to the archmage and whispers in his ear. "You picked the wrong target.", and in a flash, she is back to the instant fortress.

She looks over the crenelations, and watches with grim satisfaction as four explosions, backed by angelic and demonic fury, assail the trio of foes.

------------

(Roll result, 5 rounds. 10 rounds with the greater extend meta-magic rod. Sesha autopasses all the scroll checks, which are DC 29 vs her UMD of 36. I made the base d20 rolls just to be accurate. Also DM, I'm aware this is a strong trick, but Sesha can't do it again. It literally cost her about 120,000 gp to pull off. Plus, all her scrolls got used except 2 of her summon monster 9s.)

Delayed Blast Fireball Damage: 71
Delayed Blast Fireball Damage: 65
Delayed Blast Fireball Damage: 65
Delayed Blast Fireball Damage: 73

Reflex Save DC: 23 for half. 20ft radius blast will reach all 3 foes, and can be placed to avoid the Angel. The Demon doesn't care, since he's immune to fire.

.Hope.(Incorporeal, undead, haste.) Link

Knowing that Alice is going to be key to Sesha's survival, Hope makes the ragdoll sevant invisible, using her spell like ability. It has no limit to the number of uses.

.Alice. (construct, DR5, FH2, Shield Other Sesha) Link

She uses the fortress for full cover and blocks line of sight to herself. Full defense.

.Astral Deva. (protective aura, dr10/evil, uncanny dodge, DR 10/evil; Immune acid, cold, petrification; Resist electricity 10, fire 10; SR 25 - possibly holy aura) Link

Though displeased to be summoned alongside an ancient enemy, she cannot ignore the commands of her summoner. If any enemies survived the Fireballs, she will attack them. Otherwise, she will cast Holy Aura, affecting herself and the Ice Demon.

Attack if needed: Move and single attack hits AC 43 for 20 damage.

.Ice Devil. (regeneration 5, DR 10/good; Immune fire, cold, poison; Resist acid 10; SR 24 - possibly holy aura) Link

Unlike the Deva, the Ice Devil finds great glee that the Deva is being forced to assist it. Summoned into the middle of the enemies, as its immune to fire, it will full attack any surviving targets. If none exist, it will cast wall of ice, and shield itself and the Deva from line of sight and line of effect.

Ice Devil attacks if needed: Spear Hits AC 25 / 31 / and 20 for 22 (6 cold) 18 (5 cold) and 15 (1 cold) damage. Bite his AC 24 for 13 damage. Tail his AC 26 for 21 damage. (6 cold)

Any spear or tail hits cause a DC 23 fort save or be slowed for 1 round.

Zane catches the edge of one of the swarms and takes a little damage.

He then flies closer to the Eldritch Knight and bites at him.

Attack Bite 26 (assuming a miss)

Restlin decides to stagger the summons, thinking this may be a drawn out battle. Instead, he hunkers down out of line of sight in this thing Sesha summoned and casts magic jar.

Monday November 11th, 2019 3:42:15 PM
Garret pauses at the appearance of so many, but remains concentrated on his task with Tink. He stays right by her side, occasionally reaching a hand out to ensure she's still next to him. He is ready to intercept anything that comes near, and will throw himself in the way of any spells that come this way to shield her.

OOC:
Ready action to attack anything that heads towards Tink? Can grab projectiles...

Beri watches in dismay as his giants disappear without a chance to contribute.
That's exactly the reason why I only summoned two giants. Well, arrows don't work, I'll need to try something with a little more heft next time.
Beri starts to summon a new storm giant, hopefully this one will survive a little longer.
Beri also holds his lightning bolt and will strike the next enemy he sees attempting to cast a spell in an attempt to interrupt them.

ooc: Bosk is invisible and blinking, can all of the enemies see Bosk to attack? Did any attacks miss due to this? What about SR 20? What are their races and alignment, these matter for dmg and saves

As the enemies appear Bosk quickly casts a quickened entropic shield....and quickly realizes that the spells being flung at him are not subject to miss from that spell (is it too late to cast righteous might?). Bosk turns and charges the arch mage.

Reflex Save = 22, 26, 21, 28, 29, 37, 27, 25 (4 succeed, 6 succeed if my protection from chaos spell was effective) =216 or 180 dmg. With evasion = 144 or 72 dmg. 1/2 damage for blink = 108 or 90 dmg. Fire resistance = 36 or 18 dmg. With protection from fire = 0 dmg.

Charge attack arch mage Hit AC 44 confirm crit 47 for 21 or 39dmg if crit plus 11 sneak (due to blink and invisibillity) = 50dmg

(OOC: Beri’s storm giants fired their arrows at the knights near them but none of their arrows got through their defenses. The lightning bolts did strike and do damage)

Tink keeps up the ritual. (OOC: you can take a swift action while participating but otherwise it takes a full round action to maneuver the book with its old script / notes )
Sesha uses timestop and summons some heavy artillery in the form of archons and devils before delayed blast fireballs.
The fireballs completely wipe out the cluster of Knights and Archmage she targeted.
Zane takes a bite at the nearest Archmage, missing completely.
Restlin hunkers out of sight in Sesha’s tower and begins casting magic jar.
Garret stands ready to protect Tink from projectiles.
Beri starts summoning another Giant saving his lightning for the next time someone casts a spell.
Bosk wonders if the enemy can see him before realizing most of the fireballs were just targeting near him and he got in the splash. The polar ray did target him, so presumably the archmage can see him. (both of these enemies are Neutral Evil, mages are elves knights are human)

Gaelen, Agatha and Sprocket all teleport inside of Sesha’s pop up tower.

The Iron Golems charge the eldritch knights and slam into them full force. The lesser priests spread out and cast repulsion to stall any enemy charges. The Greater Priests cast Implosion and start targeting the Archmages, but both make their saves.

The surviving knights cast spells (Spellcraft 24 Highlight to display spoiler: {Timestop}) emerging from their temporal bubble all flying and with mirror image duplicates. Some have floating shields of force.

The surviving archmages cast time stops of their own.

Archmage 1: 5 rounds - empowered delay blast fireball (Garret, Tink, Wyaar, Greater Kevintar Priest, Golem 9 + Golem 7) 93 damage; DC 26 for half, delayed blast fireball (Garret, Tink, Wyaar, Greater Kevintar Priest, Golem 9 + Golem 7) 75 damage; DC 26; reverse gravity (Garret, Tink, Wyaar, Greater Kevintar Priest, Golem 9 + Golem 7) DC 26; Wall of Force - between Sesha’s Tower and the arch mage. Prismatic Wall protecting himself; Shield protecting himself
Archmage 2: 3 rounds - empowered delay blast fireball (1, 2, 3 - lesser priests), golems 4 and 5 - 97 damage; DC 26; delay blast fireball (1, 2, 3 - lesser priests), golems 4 and 5 - 70 damage; DC 26; prismatic wall protecting himself
Archmage 3: 2 rounds empowered delay blast fireball (zane) DC 26 - 106 damage; Delay blast fireball (zane) DC 26 69 damage

The room and the ritual are fully started now. The entire thing thrums with energy and the chants of the participants rise over the battle. The first heart is ritually sacrificed.

Surrounding the ritual area the air seems to swirl and twist as more enemies magically appear to assault the defenders, three sets of heavily armored warriors wielding great bows with deadly precision.
Two see through Tink’s Shadow Evocation and target her. Four arrows find their mark (how many can Garret catch? 27, 21, 22, 21 damage, minus whatever Garret catches).

The others target the Iron Golems tearing up their kight allies, destroying one and taking another to it’s last legs.

"Those shield spells will stop magic missiles."

There's really not a lot Tink can do but try and brace herself for the hits. This ritual has to be done. That's all there is to it.

If things start to get really serious though she's happy to tap out and pass it over to someone else.

She looks to Garret "I got this. You can go get in the fight. Don't worry, I'll yell if they start to swarm me. The others need you now"

Garret reaches out and slaps one of the arrows down that was headed towards Tink. When she mentions that the ritual is complete and he should go, he dodges the fireballs, then dimensional steps over to help Zane’s corner. He appears just behind the mage and swings a fist at it.

OOC:

Off in the north-east corner are three bad guys and three constructs. Restlin can't tell the bad guys apart, but guesses the golems don't have souls and aren't valid targets for magic jar. He'll try taking over one of the bad guys.

Will save DC 25.

Not seeing himself or his prey Bosk Shadowalks and casts a quickened Magic circle against evil focused on himself.

ooc: Can I assume I was accidentally deleted? Iw I was teleported somewhere I will teleport, planeshift, etc back.

Wednesday November 13th, 2019 8:28:25 AM
Tink tells Garret to go help in the fight.
Wyar kills an archmage and destroys 2 mirror images on a knight (the yellow fields are repulsion, not reverse gravity)
Garret punches an archmage, but they make the save.
Restlin tries to take over an enemy (you just said northeast corner, so I rolled a d3 and got the 3rd enemy, knight 4). He succeeds and finds himself in the body of a martial master of magic. (he is now black and marked Rk for Restlin Knight)
Zane tears into an eldritch knight but gets mostly mirror images, destroying 3 and hitting once
Sesha goes dragon and flies out to fight with her summons (put results of saves with enemy actions)
Beri summons another giant which destroys 3 mirror images (enemy AC on the bottom so you can see if you attacks hit)
Bosk takes a round to buff (the archmage you were attacking died)

The ritual proceeds at a good pace. The second heart is burned. The whole room rumbles and shifts; the ceiling starts to open, cracks forming lines across it, letting in sunlight from outside.

The magical disturbance in the air increases, shedding a sickly brownish light over the outer area of the room where Marteous’s followers are arriving. Small vermin start to appear, rats, roaches, worms. More appear, Mages and Tested and join the assault.

Sprocket casts disintegrate at the wall of force automatically destroying it.
Agatha casts disintegrate at the remaining archmage using her theurge ability to combine it with truestrike cast as a level 2 witch’s spell. Her ray strikes true and the last archmage was turned to a pile of dust.
Gaelen uses the mother of all curses against eldritch knight 1 using baleful polymorph, suffocation and irresistable dance. The knight fails with his lowest save and turns into a dancing, suffocating toad.

Eldritch Knight 1 is a suffocating dancing toad.
Eldritch Knight 2 takes a 5 foot step then casts a quickened phantasmal killer following up with disintegrate against Zane.
(Zane - phantasmal killer = DC 22 will save; followed by DC 22 fort save;
Disintegrate = 29 vs AC; miss)

Eldritch Knight 3 - takes 5 foot step towards golem 6 and makes a full attack missing on all accounts.

Eldritch Knight 5 takes a 5 foot step back and then fires disintegrate at Beri (33 vs touch; DC 24 fort save - failure = 134 damage; success = only 17 damage)
Eldritch Knight 6 takes a 5 foot step back and fires his own disintegrate at Beri (37 = nat 20 vs touch ; 26 vs touch to confirm critical = DC 24 fort save; failure = 241 damage; success = only 42 damage)

Archmage 5 casts Finger of Death against Zane. The dragon must make a DC 26 fort save or take 200 points of damage, if saved only takes 31 damage)

Archmage 6 uses greater dispel magic against Sesha targetting 5 effects on the Bloodwitch.
(Dispel rolls = 24,40,30,40,26 = CL 13, 29, 19, 29, 15 = 2 effects dispelled starting with highest caster level and going down)

Tested 1 & 2 make their will saves but only 1 makes the reflex save. They activate their boots and rain arrows on Sesha the Dragon, doing 83 damage to her (I did roll for the 20% miss chance and their +5 bows trump your DR)

Tested 3 & 4 make all of their saves. In an instant their bows disappear and shields appear, which start dancing around them, before they draw greatswords, tearing into the summons. The Astral Deva is crit with all 4 attacks and is torn asunder. The Ice Devil fairs better and is only crit once and brought to 2 hp.

Tested 5 & 6 turn their gazes on the enemy archer Wyar, who doesn’t have cover against their angle of attack. He gets hit 6 times (well 4, but double hit from first arrows) for 154 damage.

The new tested target the lesser and greater priests, killing two lesser and damaging two greater.

The Iron Golems continue their attack, though this time the DM remembers the mirror images and they do less damage.

Lesser priest 2 adds his repulsion to the others, fully surrounding the ritual sight with the defensive fields. The two greater priests continue their implosion efforts. This time one of the archmages fails and instantly dies.

Garret moves over behind the nearest Eldrich knight, but stubs his toe as he moves, trying to keep his feet and not crash into the knight.

Wednesday November 13th, 2019 10:33:27 AM
Eldritch Knight Restlin finds and drops the spell component pouch/bag/whatever the knight uses. He then takes a running charge at EK3. "Hey buddy! Great fun being a stupid evil guy, isn't it?" he asks as he attacks with...whatever the knight's weapon is.

Attack roll 34 + the EK's strength & any magic weapon bonuses. I'll let you roll damage.

Edit: forgot to add +2 to hit from flanking.

.Sesha. (Polymorphed, Huge, 20% miss chance, Stoneskin 70/150, Cloak of Dreams: All creatures within 5ft at the beginning or end of their turn must save vs DC 28 or sleep for 1 minute. 1/24 rounds used.)

AoO: Sesha snaps out at Tested 2. She misses.

With a roar, Sesha thrashes against the arrows now sticking out her stone-like wings. She feels the energy slip away from one of her Ring of Counterspells, the one that counters Greater Dispel Magic. She has two such wards remaining, and those only stop regular dispel attempts.

She turns to the direction of the archmage. Magical interference was NOT necessary to her plans. She casts Bouncing Dominate Person. A bound-wizard was far more useful to her than a dead one, if she could get lucky.

Archmage 6 must make a Will Save, DC 28 or be dominated. IF HE PASSES, Bouncing Spell Metamagic will move it to Archmage 5, who must make a will save DC 28 or be dominated.[/b]

Sesha then digs into her magical reserves, and defensively casts Cloak of Dreams. Tested 1 and 2 must save vs DC 28 at the start of their turn or fall asleep for 1 minute.

------------------

.Hope.(Incorporeal, undead, haste, higher than enemy.) Link

Hope, incorporeal, throws blasts of witchfire at Tested 2. These hit touch ac 32 and 25 for 23 and 32 damage, all fire. Willsave DC 22 x2 gain SICKENED and FIRE VULNERABILITY.

------------------

.Alice. (construct, DR5, FH2, Shield Other Sesha) Link

She uses the fortress for full cover and blocks line of sight to herself. Full defense.

---------------------

.Ice Devil. (regeneration 5, DR 10/good; Immune fire, cold, poison; Resist acid 10; SR 24, Holy Aura) Link

Suddenly gravely injured and all alone, the Ice Devil is no longer amused. He casts Ice Storm over enemies 3 and 4.

At Will: Ice Storm, No Save. 15 damage to each person. THOSE IN AREA OF EFFECT: Suffer -10 to perception checks, -6 to ranged attacks, and 15ft movement = 1 square.

AoO if he needs it: hits AC 41 for 17 damage. Fort save DC 22 or be slowed. (Fails to confirm)

Fear aura: 3 and 4 must save again, Will DC 22 or be panicked.

Zane auto passes the P-Killer saves and ignores it. Zane also makes the Finger of Death save and takes 31 damage.

Over the rings, "Good thing I'm as tough as I look or that could have done some serious damage. Any luck on handling this Archmage guy over here?"

Zane attacks the E-Knight 2 again.

Over the ring, Sesha replies to Zane.

"As soon as I can handle my own issues, I'll be there! There's an archmage and two Tested over here. And so far, I don't have any golems helping!"

She casts a worried glance towards Wyarr.

Wyaar is close enough to Tink that she could rush over to him and hand him that heal potion that Sesha gave her. It pains her to see him get that hurt but he still stands.

She turns her attention back to the ritual. No matter what happens, it has to be done.

"Almost there"

Bosk curses under his breath as he has to leave the fight unfinished. He quickly dimensional hops (move action) over to Wyaar and casts heal on him, restoring him to full health. He then casts a quickened divine favor on himself for good measure.

ooc: Bosk has death watch. IF it appears the others in the group (Sproket, Agatha, the priests helping the group, megaman, etc are low on health he will instead cast mass heal on every healing them for 160HP.

Restlin attacks one of the other knights. (for future reference: +3 str, +3 weapon, crit on 17-20, 1d8+8 damage)
Sesha roars in pain at the arrows (DM note: their +5 bows ignore you stoneskin DR). She casts cloak of dreams and tested 1 fails his save. The first targeted archmage fails his save and is dominated (is now sa on map). Alice hits twice, but he again makes both saves. One tested fails the fear save and runs away.
Wyaar uses lay upon hands and then fires off some more arrows.
Zane hits with 5 natural attacks.
Tink wishes she could pass a potion over to Wyarr, but focuses on the ritual.
Beri finishes his summons and both of his giants attack the knights with their swords. Storm Giant 3 attacks Knight 6 striking for 69 damage. Storm Giant 4 attacks Knight 5 hitting only once and popping one of the doubles.

Tested 1 is asleep
Tested 2 is stuck dancing.
Tested 3 kills the demon then draws his bow.
Tested 4 is still feared (I think?)
Tested 5 & 6 continue to assault Wyarr, hitting four times for 100 damage.
Tested 7 through 10 focus on the golems, killing one and taking another to half (they make amazing damage sponges don’t they)

Archmage 5 casts chain lightning targeting Zane and Garret. (Zane needs to make a DC 27 reflex and Garret needs to make a DC 25 reflex save. On success take 30 damage; on failure 60)
Archmage 6 is still dominated by Sesha

The iron golems continue their assault and manage to kill knight 3, otherwise destroying many mirror images.

The lesser priests moves over and casts Cure Light wounds healing Wyarr 59 hp

The greater priest continue their magical assault on the archmages. 5 fails his save and is killed.

8 more archmage teleport in from the 4 corners of the room. 2 in the NE, 2 in the NW, 2 in the SE and 2 in the SW.

Archmage 7 casts a spell (spellcraft DC 24: Highlight to display spoiler: { Timestop})
After a brief moment 2 delayed blasts fireballs explode in Garret and Zane’s midst (DC 26 ; 115 damage; DC 26 ; 67 damage) and the archmage has his own prismatic shield
Archmage 8 follows suit (spellcraft DC 24 Highlight to display spoiler: {timestop}) drops 2 delayed blast fireballs on Zane and Garret (DC 26; 108 damage; DC 26 86 damage) as well; protects himself with a prismatic shield, starts flying and spellcraft DC 18 Highlight to display spoiler: {hastes himself}.
Archmage 9 also (spellcraft DC 24 Highlight to display spoiler: {timestop}) drops 2 delayed blast fireball on Restlin’s knight(DC 26 - 117 damage; DC 26 - 67 damage) and protects himself with a prismatic shield
Archmage 10 also (spellcraft DC 24 Highlight to display spoiler: {timestop}) then drops 2 delayed blast fireball on Restlin’s possessed knight (DC 26 - 109 damage; DC 26- 67 damage)
Archmage 11 also (spellcraft DC 24 Highlight to display spoiler: {timestop} and then drops 2 delayed blast fireball on Dragon Sesha (DC 26 - 114 damage; DC 26 67 damage) before throwing up a prismatic shield.
Archmage 12 also has that similar pause (spellcraft DC 24 Highlight to display spoiler: {timestop}) before dropping 2 delayed blast fireballs on Sesha (DC 26 - 100 ; DC 26 - 65;), throwing up his own prismatic shield and then starting to fly.

The third heart is burned. The roof fully opens, sending a blinding ray of sunlight down on those doing the ritual. It seems focused at the center on the center of the ritual area and, presumably, the lock.

At the edges of the room the distorted, brown light starts to swirl and twist. Vermin now appear in great numbers, forming a carpet of worms and insects near the walls while mice and rats scramble to hide under discarded furniture.

Eldritch knight Restlin opens his arms wide and embraces all the fireballs, taking full damage from each of them. At 357 damage, the knight is probably dead.

Before he dies, he scopes out the battlefield. He spies a group of tested just north of the ritual area. He attempts to take over one of them.

Will Save DC is 38.

.Sesha. (Polymorphed, Huge Brass Dragon, 50% miss chance, Stoneskin 150/150, Cloak of Dreams: All creatures within 5ft at the beginning or end of their turn must save vs DC 28 or sleep for 1 minute. 1/24 rounds used.)

Previous Round: AoO vs Dancing Target: Misses.

Previous Round: At the end of its turn, Tested 2, while dancing, needs to save vs Cloak of Dreams. DC 28 or sleep for 1 minute.

Saves owed to DM: Reflex save vs Fireballs: 39,38,27,39 - All Pass. Damage taken, 0. Brass Dragons have fire immunity, per Form of the Dragon III.

Bookkeeping: Adjusted total HP and stoneskin.

With all the starting and stoppage of time, Sesha wasn't quite sure how long had passed anymore. Still, this was high level arcane combat, and it was something she she had been trained for by her many teachers. Larien, her mentor in Ust Delmah. Talia, her teammate in Bryn Baraz. Restlin, her soon to be husband. All of these people had taught Sesha how wizards fight, and what to expect in these sorts of battles. She wasn't about to let them down now.

A surge of fireballs erupt around her, but the scales of her Brass Dragon form keep her safe, for now. She silently thanked Serenbeth for the warnings vs Fire and Ice.

There was so much left to be done. She had to hold down this corner, protect Agatha and the priests, and hold her own for the ritual. But there was such an overwhelming influx of enemies to the north east...

Sesha, Draconic focuses her magic power into a glowing blue sphere, and send its through the heavens. It pierces the sky, inviting down a ruddy, red rain on those below. This thing she did.. it was the most powerful manipulation of Woldsblood she could manage. She felt no remorse, as needs must be fulfilled.

All in the area of affect (Archmage 9, 10. Tested 7, 8, 9, 10) must make a will save, DC 10+Hit Dice. Failure = Dazed and d3 wis and con damage. Must save every round in the rain. Those in rain get partial cover. Constructs, demons, devils and fey are unaffected. Dazed = no actions, but not helpless.

That handled, She streaks across the field, (fly check 31 vs dc 22) hovering to stare down the archmages. She inhales, then breathes a line of fire once more. It catches both Archmages 11 and 12, as well as Tested 3. (100ft line of fire, 49 damage. Reflex DC 30 for half)

She casts a final spell, forces it really, quickening past the usual requirements and manifesting the magic to her whim. The effects of a Blink spell take hold, and Sesha begins to stutter between realities. She snarls at her dominated Archmage.

"Use your magic to destroy my enemies, and you shall be rewarded. The tested are your first priority, followed by the mages."

Archmages 11 and 12, at start of turn save vs DC 28 or fall asleep.

------------------

Archmage 6 follows Seshas commands. (Please either Hugh or Mitch, either do what you think is best, or send me his spell list and I'll take it off your hands. Thanks!)

.Hope.(Incorporeal, undead, haste, higher than enemy.) Link

Hope, incorporeal, throws blasts of witchfire at Tested 1. These hit touch ac 18 and 29 for 32 and 27 damage, all fire. Willsave DC 22 x2 gain SICKENED and FIRE VULNERABILITY.

Garret blinks as the area around him explodes in fire and lightning. He looks down and notices that the fire burned his last piece of saved up bread, but also nicely toasted some of his leftover meat-on-a-stick. He looks around for the things he was fighting, but bodies are dropping all over the place. Instead he steps forward into the ether and appears behind the knight that struck Zane. He aims where the kidney should be and punches at the monster.

The light from the split roof focuses in the center of the ritualists. The magic of the ritual seems to focus it in to a burning beam of enormous power that begins to melt through the floor. The runes, previously glowing a pure white light, start to turn golden in a slow wave through the room. The fourth heart is burned.

At the edges of the room the vermin squirm and writhe in agitation. The worms start together and form into several figures that assault the party with powerful magics!

Agatha has her Greater Air Elemental come into being. She then starts Casting Greater Immortal Summons to bring forth her Marid friend - Aqua
Agatha’s Greater Air elemental charges Archmage 12 missing due to the prismatic shield and then getting hit by a red ray for 51 damage
Gaelen moves around the tower before using another focused curse this time targeting Archmage 11 with a baleful polymorph. Archmage 11 fails becoming toadified also believing he is a toad.
Sprocket casts scorching ray at tested 7 launching 3 rays. 2 rays strike home dealing 39 damage.

Tested 5 and 6 abandon their bows and charge the greater priest, both hitting, one critting, doing 55 damage.
Tested 8 fails his save against one of the repulsion fields, forcing him to charge to the side at one of the golems, which he finishes off.

Knight 5: casts greater dispel magic on SG 4 (34 - 11 = 23 highest CL dispelled = SG4 is gone) overpowering Beri’s spell to send his giant packing.
Archmage 7 casts meteor swarm at Zane (OOC: is Zane’s touch AC really 37?)
Archmage 8 also casts meteor swarm at Zane
All Meteor swarms miss Zane but Garret and Zane are caught up in the blasts.
(8 reflex saves vs 28 for 24;20;23;19;24;22;19;21 damage)
Archmage 9 is dazed
Archmage 10 moves out from the rain and casts fly.
Archmage 12 casts greater dispel magic targeting Agatha’s elemental but fails
Archmage 13 targets Beri’s SG3 with his own greater dispel magic (40 on dispel check = succeeds) causing the Giant to blip out of existence
Archmage 14 casts a meteor swarm at Wyaar. (24, 30, 23, 16 vs touch of 20) 3 of the missiles strike Wyaar causing him to take (5, 7, 5 bludgeoning damage) they then explode (ooc: Bosk and Wyaar to have to make 4 DC 28 reflex saves or take 15, 21, 29, 21 fire damage respectively; success is half; Wyaar takes a -4 penalty to the first 3 saves for getting beamed)

Worm that Walks 1 casts Energy Drain on Sesha Dragon. (OOC: can’t see Sesha’s current touch AC; 29 vs touch for 4 negative levels; 87 vs 50% miss chance = succeed)
Worm that Walks 2 casts mage’s disjunction against Sesha’s woldsblood rain ending it
Worm that walks 3 forms in the middle of Zane and Garret and casts Storm Bolts. Lightning spreads forth from his body blanketing the area in a 30 foot radius. (DC 27 fort save or take 83 electric damage and be stunned for 1 round; success means only 41 damage; OOC this is a fort save effect so evasion does not apply)
Worm that walks 4 casts earthquake (brown circle) causing the ground to shake and part of the roof to collapse. (Gaelen, Agatha, Sprocket, Restlin’s body, Dragon Sesha, Sesha’s Archmage, Agatha’s Air elemental, and Golem 1 and 2 need to make DC 15 reflex saves or take 24 points of bludgeoning damage and become pinned under rubble from the roof; Sesha’s tower takes 100 points of damage; per spell should still stand I think; anyone casting a multi turn spell needs to make DC 20 + spell level concentration check or lose it)
Gaelen manages to avoid getting buried
Agatha manages to avoid getting buried and continues to cast her summon spell (OOC: she’s really good at concentrating)
Sprocket manages to avoid getting buried
Agatha’s air elemental avoids getting buried
Worm that walks 5 casts implosion on Beri. (DC 28 fort save or take 200 points of damage) attempting to make the druid’s body fold in on itself
Worm that walks 6 casts disintegration on Beri (25 vs touch = hit; Fort save vs 26 or take 134 damage; success means only 19 damage; if reduced to 0 hp; Beri becomes ash)

Iron Golem 3 attacks the knight that just charged his buddy.
The Iron Golems 5 & 6, immune to the worldsblood, wade into it to attack the helpless Archmage.
Golem 7 finishes off a knight.
Golem 8 attacks an archmage.

The lesser priest heals Wyarr another 57 hp.

Greater Priest 1 implodes tested 6 and finishes him off.
Greater Priest 2 fails his concentration check.

"Anyone got eyes on Restlin?" It's been a while since Tink saw the mendicant "Is he ok?"

Tink keeps up the ritual but is a little concerned about the melting floor. If it starts to get close she's prepared to take a step back from it

Restlin's totally fine. I mean, his body's trapped under rubble. That's not ideal, but he's been through a lot worse.

His mind is inside a huge orc with a huge sword. "HEY, STUPID FACE!" he screams at Tested8 as he unleashes a full attack.

Zane again avoid most of the Meteor Swarms, taking very very little damage. (10 points) He also takes only half from the Worm that Walks #3.

"Well, that's different.....Garrett, can you flank it?" Zane quip's over the rings.

He lays a full round of attacks into the Worm,

Bite 41 to hit 31 Damage + 7 Holy
Claw 31 to hit
Claw 42 to hit 28 Damage + 8 Holy

Beri sighs at the sight of two more giants poofing away into nothingness.
If anyone needs a wind wall or healing, seriously just call out, otherwise I'll call on another elemental.
Beri will summon a second elemental and hopes that the first elemental is able to hold it's own.

Tink asks if anyone has eyes on Restlin. She continues on the ritual concerned about the melty floor.
Beri survives the implosion but gits nicked by the disintegrate. Luckily the druid can resist so he only takes minor damage.
Restlin’s body is buried under rubble. (OOC: he has taken 24 damage and each minute he takes 1d6 points of nonlethal damage; if Restlin is considered unconscious he takes 1d6 points of lethal damage unless passing a DC 15 con check or dead)
Restlin’s mind in the orc he is possessing makes a full attack at tested 8 hitting once for 30 damage.
Zane comes away with not much damage from the exploding meteor swarms. He also only takes some of the electricity. He turns his attention to the cleric. He hits 3 times. The attacks don’t seem to do as much as expected (Knowledge Nature: 30 Highlight to display spoiler: {DR 15/-})
Beri sighs and starts to summon an earth elemental. His current one manages to land two hits.

The orange glow starts to spread more rapidly. The 5th heart is burned and the final passages of the ritual begin. It will soon be complete!

Agatha’s Merid pops into existence. It charges walking worm 3 with its trident but misses.
Agatha’s Air elemental slams into Archmage 12 hitting once for 14 damage.
Agatha starts summoning another greater air elemental
Gaelen turns into a Jotund Troll and starts working at unburrying Restlin’s body
Sprocket helps Gaelen try to dig Restlin out

Tested 5 moves to attack Uthras. She grunts in pain, but manages to continue the ritual uninterrupted.
Tested 7 charges Garret but just misses him.
Tested 8 kills iron golem 3.
Tested 10 hits iron golem 5.

Archmage 7 uses a polar ray against Zane (32 vs touch; 64 cold damage plus 1 point of dex drain)
Archmage 8 also shoots off a polay ray at Zane (25 vs touch; 74 cold damage plus 3 points of dex drain)
Archmage 9 moves away from the golems and fires off a meteor swarm at Bosk (20 vs touch; 52 on blink roll; 10 bludgeoning damage plus -4 on a save for last save). One of the missiles hit and the horned cleric and Wyaar need to make 4 reflex saves vs DC 28 (20 fire; 17 fire; 19; 22; Bosk takes -4 penalty on last save)
Archmage 10 fires off a meteor swarm of his own at Bosk (32 vs touch, 54 vs blink - 4 bludgeoning plus -4 on one of the saves; 26 vs touch, 52 vs blink - 6 bludgeoning plus -4 on one of the saves; 28 vs touch; 82 vs touch - 10 bludgeoning puls -4 on one of the saves) the subsequent explosions DC 34 with -4 penalties to bosk on the first 3(16, 15, 17, 34)
Archmage 12 uses dispel magic against Agatha’s elemental but fails to dispel it.
Archmage 13 casts a spell warding itself, Archmage 14 and worms 5 and 6 with a flaming rune (spellcraft 23 Highlight to display spoiler: {Firebrand})
Archmage 14 fires off a maximized magic missile at Wyaar striking the paladin for 25 force damage

Worm that Walks 1 casts destruction against Sesha (OOC: She has to make a DC 26 fort save or take 200 damage; but only 40 damage on successful save)
Worm that Walks 2 takes a double move action
Worm that walks 3 channels negative energy. Garret, Wyaar and Agatha’s Marid must make Will save vs 23 or take 35 negative energy)
The marid saves.
Worm that walks 4 casts banishment on Agatha’s elemental sending it packing.
Worm that walks 5 casts a second implosion on Beri (OOC: another DC 28 fort save or take 200 damage)
Worm that walks 6 casts energy drain at Beri (29 vs touch; 8 negative levels; 93 vs blur; 99 vs blink) and hits dealing the druid 8 negative levels

Both greater priests target Tested 5 with implosion. He fails one save but survives.
The lesser priest continues healing, hitting Wyarr for 51 more hp.
The golems all attack archmages killing two of them.

.Sesha. (Polymorphed, Huge Brass Dragon, 50% miss chance, Stoneskin 150/150, Cloak of Dreams: All creatures within 5ft at the beginning or end of their turn must save vs DC 28 or sleep for 1 minute. 1/24 rounds used.)

Saves owed to DM: The Energy Drain does hit Sesha, but she is protected by Death Ward and suffers no ill effects. Save vs Earthquake, pass.

Bookkeeping: I turned Archmage 6 over to DM's last round but he didn't get an action it seems. I'll take it this round too now that I have his sheet.

Sesha is starting to get concerned. The new enemies just keep coming. The point here is the ritual, not the combat, but with so many foes she would prefer they survive to see how things shake out in the end!

Using one of the spells she leeched away from Yzargo, Sesha casts Cone of Cold, catching both worms and the Archmage. They must make a reflex save, DC 28, or take 42 damage. Own Blink Chance, passed.

She turns, and flies back over her instant fortress. Zane has been asking for help, and more Tested were on the move.

------------------

Archmage 6 follows Seshas commands.

(I checked the log. This archmage has cast no spells so far other than Greater Dispel.)

Last Round: It casts Greater Invisibility.

Following the orders of the great Brass Dragon who now commands it, Archmage now seeks to destroy her foes.

This Round: It casts Time Stop: 4 rounds.
Round 1: Empowered Delayed Blast Fireball.
Round 2: Delayed Blast Fireball.
Round 3: Casts Haste.
Round 4: Moves north.

Archmage 12, Worm that Walks 4 and 1 must save vs Delayed Blast Fireball or take 78 damage, save for half.

Archmage 12, Worm that Walks 4 and 1 must save vs Empowered Delayed Blast Fireball or take 109 damage, save for half.

.Hope.(Incorporeal, undead, haste, higher than enemy.) Link

Hit AC 44 for 30 damage
Hit AC 41 for 21 damage
Hit AC 40 for 22 damage

Understand if you don't feel like ret-conning, though.

Restlin continues to be not too worried about his body. He presses his attacks against Tested8.

Hit AC 45 for 25
Hit AC 42 for 30
Hit AC 35 - miss

Restlin makes no effort to dodge any attacks; treat any attacks against his borrowed body as flat-footed.

He shifts targets to the Worm 2 and Smites it before sending arrows its way.

Tink keeps up on the ritual. It looks like it is getting close to completion now, and she's a little unsure what precisely will happen once it is done.

Two extremely lucky attacks manage to pass through Beri's earth elemental and somehow find their way to hit the druid despite a lack of line of site from either of them that he had been very diligent about maintaining, thankfully the first has no affect but the druid feels a massive reduction to his power.

Bosk, I have no idea how they managed to do it, but they seem to have negated a third of my levels... anything you can do about this?

Beri adjusts his height and makes sure the the second elder earth elemental further makes it impossible for the attackers to have a line of sight on him.

Bosk hears Beri's call out and reaches out to him, casting greater restoration. He then curses the fact that he did not prepare death ward. Worried for his friend he digs deep and prays and somehow manages to cast it on Beri despite not preparing it in advance.

ooc: using a hero point to cast Death Ward on Beri. FYI, I am running low on Hero Points and plan to save 2 incase I need cheat death.

Sesha uses a leached polar ray against 2 worms and an archmage. One of the worms saves but the other 2 targets take full damage.

Archmage 6 follows Sesha’s commands. Each worm fails one save but makes the other.

Hope continues to blast Tested 1 with Witchfire

Zane attacks Worm 3 only landing a single blow.
Restlin continues to use his borrowed body against Tested 8.
Wyaar launches arrows at Worm 2 slaying it with the first 2 then moves onto Tested 5 slaying him as well.
Garret uses abundant step to get to Tested 7 and lays into it.
Tink finishes reading as the ritual ends wary of what comes next.
Beri gets hit by the draining ray and then asks Bosk for help. He has his earth elemental attack once and then defend again. One elemental strikes 5 and one misses 6.
Bosk casts greater restoration followed by a heroically casted death ward targeting Beri.


The final words of the ritual are said. The golden glow spreading through the room speeds up as the climax is reached until the entire room is bathed in a blinding golden light. The beam of sunlight that was burrowing into the floor intensifies before a wave of energy and light expands outwards engulfing all of the combatants, blinding them.

As everyone’s vision returns they feel a soft breeze. The walls and ceiling of the room are gone, obliterated by the wave of energy and the destruction of the lock. They now stand in the open air, atop a spire towards the top of Bone Tower.

A miasma of green noxious smoke comes streaming in from on high and then condenses into the form of Marteus. (OOC: If anyone gets too close (20 feet of the ritual area) to the chief god of testing they must make a DC 35 fort save or be wracked with a coughing fit / nausea for 5 rounds)

Marteus says, “Little brother I never thought I’d see you again. Time for me to put you out of my sight for good. You should have remained in your cage.”

To The Iron Dragons he says, “Normally I’d end you but you did me a favor in hastening the escape of my brother. Leave now. Don’t make me change my mind.”

The dust clears from the ruins of the cage and out steps an aged but spry looking bald man in gray robes. He exudes calm and serenity -- perfect, sublime serenity. He takes a confident bow and says to Marteus, “My imprisonment has taught me a discipline I could never have attained as the enforcer I used to be. You should be proud brother for I have faced my own personal testing and come out much stronger for it. Though this self actualization was a focus of my inner self while you seem to be more of a blunt instrument favoring crude external forces to shape your clay. Care to test your old ways against my new ones? We can see who is the superior brother once and for all. Isn’t that what you are really afraid of and why you had to rush over here? That I could defeat you and my ways of building my followers up by teaching them to plumb the depths of their inner strengths would rob you of followers of your own? For who would willingly subject themselves to brutality if enlightenment was at hand?”

Marteus snears in response. “Enlightenment? Self actualization? Foolish weakness, easily washed away by the harshness of reality. Only those that face true suffering can truly grow and master themselves. You’re solitude has left you weak and easily crushed brother despite your fancy words. You should have stayed in your prison.”

The two gods begin to circle each other, gazes locked. With each step the rise higher, yet everyone can see them just as clearly as if they were standing right next to them. Soon their high above, gathering their power for the coming clash.

The surviving cultists of Kevintar look to the dragons. ”He’ll never survive without our help. We’ll start a ritual to empower him and give him a chance. Our lives are in your hands; there are too few of us to do both our ritual and hold off Marteous’ men.”

Marteous’s followers indeed seem quite intent on slaughtering the remaining Kevintar cultists, but they seem to be waiting to see if the Iron Dragons take their gods offer to walk away.

Restlin did not like Agatha. She was a Star Mage. She'd deceived them. She was a Star Mage. She was holier than thou, and she was a freaking Star Mage.

...and Restlin was 100% certain he'd rather fight alongside a hundred Agathas than a single follower of Marteus.

"Ok folks, let's keep these idiots safe. Gargul can sort things out if he really wants Kevintar dead."

"It was Gargul that initially told us to let Kevintar and Marteus fight it out. In His words 'If Kevintar escapes, another Year of Ascension will occur.' True, later he said he trusted us to do what is best. Are we willing to risk the entire Wold on it? Has Kevintar reformed?"

True to her nature, Tink wants to overthink things (over-Tink?)

"Can anyone detect evil on him, or have a divination spell up their sleeve?"

There are two ways she can see this going down: fight the Marteus followers AND the Kevintar followers, or, align with the Kevintar followers against the Marteus followers.

Either way, the Marteus followers are a target and Tink is ready to join the fight.

Tink dips into her spells and casts Time Stop. When time resumes she has a few summons on the field and is safely away from the ritual area.

Saves owed to DM: None.

Bookkeeping: Last round was technically a cone of cold. I think the template makes enemies take double damage from area spells and no damage from single attacks?

First, Sesha waits on Hope. Once hope throws her witchfire, Seshas heavy wingbeats take her northwest, where she pivots and sends a line of fire across the two archmages there.

Beri isn't foolish enough to stand too close to two gods about to duke it out. He backs away, careful to not allow the worms line of sight, and uses the last of his high level summons calls forth another storm giant.

Zane takes a moment to think about what to do before playing with the worm that walks he was fighting and misses each time.
Restlin really doesn’t like Agatha, he can list her numerous faults forwards and backwards and yet he would still stand with a hundred of her versus Marteus and his followers. Unfortunately Restlin can’t use his spells so he continues to fight Tested 8 some more. He strikes twice in vulnerable areas but it keeps standing.
Garret watches in amazement as the brother Gods start to square off and then flurries at the tested he was fighting again. He slays 7.
Wyaar uses another smite against 5 dropping this worm like he dropped the second one last round. He moves on to worm 6 but it remains standing.
Sesha delays a moment to incinerate 2 archmages with her dragon fire after hope hits one with witchfire. Her dominated archmage hits its brethren with a meteor swarm finishing off the fire vulnerable one.
Beri starts calling forth another storm giant while his elder elementals rip into the worm before them. Only a single attack lands.
His Storm Giants move into position and ready their bows.
Tink dips into her spells figuring that Marteus is the bigger threat.
She casts timestop then casts greater invisibility, moves, summons some celestial T-Rexes and Ghaele Azatas before retrieving the staff of burning. The Azatas cast death ward on her friends. The T-Rexes try to grapple Tested 10 and Worm that walks 2 but neither is grappled because Worm that walks 2 is dead.


Agatha, Gealen, Sproket, and the two other high level priests move into the ritual area just used to release the lock and begin their own ritual.

Dock, The Watcher, Chuck and the Custodian move behind cover (insert individual actions for them/pithy comments from them here)

Dock makes his trademarked tinkling sounds from behind the barrier.
(Zane Highlight to display spoiler: { You guys see to the battle, we’ll take cover here})
The Custodian is silent
Chuck says, “I need to be able to see everything! This is going to make for one heck of a comeback novel.”

Uthras moves out to support Zane and Garret with a “For the Dead King!’ warcry.
Megaman pulls out his rocket launcher but hesitates, unable to find a target that doesn’t already have friendlies right next to it.
Skelter and Aeren take cover and pull out ranged weapons. They pepper Worm 1 with arrows and bolts and finishing it off.

The iron golems, no longer able to reach the archmages, move to the walking worms. They manage to finish off a badly wounded one.

The knights are all dead.
Archmage 8 flies into the air out of the reach of golem and then casts greater dispel magic on the Archmage dominated by Sesha. (24 on CL check = fail)
Archmage 10 flies out of the range of the golems and then tries to cast dispel magic on the TRex but fails to overcome Tink’s CL.
Archmage 12 flies out of the range of the golems and then teleports to be near Archmage 10
Worm 1 casts banishment targetting Beri’s elementals. They must make DC 25 will saves or be banished.
Worm 3 casts banishment against Agatha’s Marid. Agatha’s Marid is dispelled
Worm 4 casts true seeing on himself.
Worm 6 casts heal on itself recovering all the damage

Tested 3, who the DM totally forgot existed, exits the ice cloud he was hidden in refreshed from his nap.

Tested 8 and 10 attack the possessed Tested controlled by Restlin with sword and bow, killing him (Tested 10 avoids being grappled with his CMD 45)

High above the gods continue to pace each other. The elements around them seem to react to their tension and movements, clouds darkening and beginning to swirl about them, the wind howling. Marteas strikes first, suddenly shooting out a bolt of greenish, sickly energy that Kevintar barely manages to dodge. He grimaces and rubs his shoulder where he was clipped; Marteas smiles, pleased at getting first blood drawn.

Tink heads northwards to take on one of those Archmages.

The Ghaele Azatas each turn invisible, and then move about to get better angles on the enemies.

Even if it's not his body, being stabbed sucks. Restlin's not so tough that he can just laugh off being killed. He grins through gritted teeth as the body he's in dies.

"In a few minutes, I'm going to stop toying with you chumps, and you're going to wish to that idiot god up there you worship that I'd taken you instead."

..and just like that, he's back in the soul gem. Restlin tries to take over a body in the NE corner of the map, figuring that the Tested and Archmagi up there will be easy to differentiate from the dinosaurs.

Will save to avoid Restlin's mind jar attempt is 22. Poop.

Zane attacks away again, hoping Garret steps a bit to give flanking....(If so all attacks are +2)

Claw 37 to hit (if flanking 24 Damage + 10 Holy)

Sesha: (Polymorphed, Flying (10ft up), Huge Brass Dragon, 50% miss chance 2/24 rounds, Stoneskin 150/150, Cloak of Dreams: All creatures within 5ft at the beginning or end of their turn must save vs DC 28 or sleep for 1 minute. 6/24 rounds used.)

Saves owed to DM: None.

Bookkeeping: None!

Considering her soon to be husband, trapped under rubble, dying in a foreign body, and still threatening their enemies, Sesha can't help but giggle. Well, perhaps it would have been a giggle. In her draconic form, it was more of a cough or a wheeze.

Sesha waits for Tinks T-rex to grab an archmage. Whichever one is left ungrabbed, becomes the target of her focused curse of suffocation.

Archmage must make a fortitude save, DC 29. If success, staggered. If fails, he begins suffocating and falls unconscious, rendered to 0 hp. If he fails the same save next round, he drops to -1 and is dying. If he fails the next round, he dies.

------------------

Archmage 6

Spells Used: G. Invisibility, G. Dispel, T. Stop, DB Fireball, Emp. DB Fireball, Haste, M. Strike.

Following the orders of the great Brass Dragon who now commands it, Archmage now seeks to destroy her foes. He uses a quickening diamond to cast a quickened, maximized magic massile at Tested 8, followed by a second barrage of regular magic missiles.

Quickened, Maximized Barrage: 25 force damage.
Regular Barrage: 15 force damage.

40 Total Damage to Tested 8

------------------

.Hope.(Incorporeal, undead, haste, higher than enemy.) Link

Hope, incorporeal, throws blasts of witchfire at Tested 8. These hit touch ac 27 and 16. (nat 1) for 24 fire damage.

------------------

.Alice. (construct, DR5, FH2, Shield Other Sesha) Link

Leaves the enclosure, moving closer to Sesha.

Unsure of who best to target Wyaar flies a little higher (20'? Not anywhere close to the gods) to get a better view of the battle field.

Bosk shakes his head. It appears his role is less combative this battle. Getting as close to the ritualists as he can he brings them into his Dark Walk to grant them extra protection (both by magic circle and Dark Walk). He quickly explains it to them and asks them how deep he should go so it doesn't interfere with their spell and calls the others to him. (I rolled high enough that 12 people can come with me). He then casts a quickened CCW on lesser priest 2 (assuming I am correct and he is on our side)

At 2nd level, the grim can partly enter the Realm of Shadows, gaining concealment, a 20% miss chance, a +2 resistance bonus to saves, and a +8 bonus to Stealth checks.
At 4th level, the grim can fully enter the Realm of Shadow and can then see but not affect those who remain in the Wold. This is treated as Etherealness.
At 6th level, the grim can fully enter the Realm of Shadow and also affect those who remain in the Wold. This is treated as Incorporeality.

Beri's earth elementals continue to pound on the worm 6, the storm giant draws his sword and joins in.

Restlin tries to get a new possessed host but the save is made and he’s stuck in his own body under rubble.
Tink northward to take on one of the other archmages. The 2 Ghaele Azatas turn invisible and then try to get better angles. Her T-Rex 1 tries to grab Tested 10, T-rex 2 heads towards the archmages and tries to grab one of them.

Tink casts Finger of Death at Archmage 12 but it resists (OOC: rolled 27) taking the lesser damage
T-Rex 1 fails to get a hold of Tested 10 (Spellcraft 22 Highlight to display spoiler: { appears to be under a Freedom of Movement effect})
T-Rex 2 jumps up at Arch Mage 12 who hovers just of it’s reach. The Archmage sticks his tongue out at it

Zane attacks worm 3 some more.

Sesha sees Tink’s T-Rex struggle to grab an archmage and fires off a focused curse of suffocation at the one that stuck it’s tongue out. Archmage 12 fails the saves and starts choking on his tongue.
The dominated archmage casts 2 barrages at Tested 8. Despite the brutal amount of damage the Orc has sustained it remains standing.
Hope hits that same tested with one bolt of witch fire finally finishing it off.

Wyaar flies a little higher to get a view of the battlefield.

Bosk takes the ritualists with him on a shadow walk as their ritual seems to be streaming energy to Kevintar. He then heals one of the lesser priests.

(OOC: Turn order is PC’s; enemy NPCs; friendly NPCs. The worm was killed by a friendly NPC so the worm still got its turn; elementals could be banished; however the disjunction kind of makes that question moot doesn’t it?)
Beri regains a 9th level spell using his pearl of power. He then tries to summon another Storm Giant. His surviving elemental and his giant team up against worm 6. The elemental misses. The storm giant hits with its first sword swing but the latter 2 are turned aside by the Worm’s weird nature.

Despite the godly battle above it seems Marteas has the attention to spare to notice the Dragons have not taken his gracious offer to leave. His voice fills the area, not shouting but low and sinister. ”If you will not leave then accept these fine gifts of my most tested warriors.”

Everyone has a Tested teleported on top of them with flight and haste that full attacks them.

Zane is hit twice for 54 damage.
Garret also takes two hits for 55 damage.
Sesha is hit thrice for 84 damage
Tink is hit once despite her invisibility and takes 23 damage.
An armored figure stands over Restlin’s empty body. With a grunt the orc kicks aside the remaining rubble, freeing him. ”Stand and face your final test Dragon.”
Bosk is crit twice and hit a third time despite his invisibility (ghost touch weapon ignores your blink and incorporealness) for 118 damage
Wyarr is hit 4 times, two of them crits, for 138 damage
Beri is also hit 4 times, two of them crits, and takes 150 damage.

Tested 3 heavily damages an iron golem.
Tested 10 does 118 damage to TR 1

Archmage 10 casts suffocation at TR1. It must make a DC 24 Fort Save or start choking. If fails next round it must make a second 24 fort save or fall unconscious and start dying.
Archmage 12 is choking and can’t do anything else
Worm that Walks 3 uses a heal spell to fully recover lost health.
Worm that Walks 6 casts a Mage’s Disjunction targeting the area containing the 2 summons bearing down on it. The summon spells end meaning both the Giant and the Elemental are sent packing.

Uthras runs over to give Garret flanking and hit the Tested attacking him.
Megaman switches to melee and run to help Wyarr.
The two skeletons continue their ranged assault, also on the one attacking Wyarr.

High above, Marteaus quickly follows up his magical strike with another, but this time Kevintar is able to deflect it. He seems to be standing taller, stronger; the ritual is working! Marteaus snarls and prepares another strike while Kevintar stands defensively, waiting for his power to build. The swirling clouds darken and thicken, a storm brewing with the god above as the eye of it.

Wyaar growls in surprise as the Tested appears beside him and slices and dices him up pretty good. He drifts away while brushing his arm over himself and sending arrows at the warrior from point blank range.

What a nice fellow! I mean, Restlin was just going to dimension door out from under the rubble, but this chap just let him go. Sure, the Tested dude meant to kill him, but he aimed to do so honorably. That counts for something in this world.

Restlin didn't have any problems using cheap shots against bad guys, though.

Still tucked safely away in the soul gem, the only body he can really detect with certainty is his own. Suddenly, though, there was a really powerful soul standing over him. Restlin targets the new enemy and tries to force himself into its mind.

Saves owed to DM: None.

Bookkeeping: Tested 13 ended his turn in Sesha's Cloak of Dreams and owes her a save vs DC 28 or fall asleep! The suffocating Archmage is now dying at -1. If he saves next round, he goes to unconscious at 0. If he fails, he dies.

Sesha screeches, furious that the new tested has suddenly appeared so close! She feels his wounds, but half of them are transfered to Alice, who moans loudly, clearly in pain.

"You dare!?", she challenges aloud. "KNOW YOUR PLACE, SERVANT!"

--IF THE TESTED STAYS AWAKE FROM HER AURA--

Using her greater headband, Sesha automatically passes her concentration test to cast defensively, then casts Dominate Person on the Tested 13, (DC 28 or be dominated) before flying through his range (and drawing an AOO probably) to her fortress, hiding behind a crenllation, and taking the form of a tiny magical beast. (Would have full concealment behind the walls.) AC would be 40 if he managed to get line of sight to her.

IF THE TESTED FALLS ASLEEP AT THE END OF HIS TURN

Sesha will instead move near Wyar, use spectral hand and Cure Critical Wounds to heal him for 45, and cause Tested 15 to save vs sleep when his turn starts.

Beri's summon finishes and a storm giant appears. He calls out int he Giants native tongue
Make that unholy fiend bleed, and buy me a few seconds
He then calls out over the link
Sesha, I this isn't going well, I need some time to regroup. Please open the door to the fortress momentarily and let me in?

Beri runs into the the fortress while his storm giant prevents the orc from following. Upon reaching it's safety the druid sommons as much herico strength as he can muster (hero point) and casts heal on himself before having to take a moment to catch his breath.

The storm giant raises his sowrd and does his best to lay a blow on the orc.

Tink takes a step back from the Tested that just appeared and unloads a charge from her Staff of Burning directly at it.

Ghaele Azata 1 no longer has any targets to the south, so turns back north. Both Azatas target the Tested that has appeared beside Tink with Searing Light spells.

T-Rex 1 takes a big hit, but manages to avoid suffocating to death. It is staggered by the spell and bites at the air in response

T-Rex 2 isn't happy about not being able to reach the Archmages. It looks about and can see that this new Tested is in reach. It turns and tries to attack it, missing once more.

These T-Rexs are having a bad day.

Bosk is upset that the tested need to use so many cheap tricks with their god putting them in the perfect position and making their weapons appear and disappear.

Actions Full Attack Tested
Given that only my first round attacks and extra attack from haste can possibly hit him short of a natural 20, Bosk will instead use the remaining attacks to destroy his armor, shield and weapons (or if an item appears to be storing his weapons start by attacking this. Note that You don’t use an opposed attack roll to damage a carried or worn object. Instead, just make an attack roll against the object’s AC. ).

Bosk then takes a 5 ft step to the west and up in the air to hide his location from the tested.

I have ghost touch, blind fighting, see invisibility, etc/ I included +2 bonus for invisibility.

Bosk is surprised when the Tested appears in his midst. While the Tested seem well prepared The Grim Avenger thinks that he is more so.
Wyaar uses a swift lay upon hands to recover a little and then fires point blankly at the Tested.
Restlin takes a moment to reflect upon the honor the Tested standing over his empty body exhibited before attempting to take over its body. (OOC: The Tested rolls a 21) The Tested fails to resist and Restlin now has a new body.(OOC: naming it RPT)
Sesha is incensed at the Tested in her midst. Alice cries out in pain as she takes the damage. The Tested resists the cloak of dreams (Will Save 33) so Sesha attempts to dominate but that too fails so she moves behind her fortress and changes shape. The attack of opportunity she draws from the tested as she moves fails to hit.
Hope and the Archmage Sesha is dominating gang up on Tested 11 but it remains standing.
Zane attacks Tested 12 hitting 3 times. He sends a warning out to his friends that he has lost a third of his health.
Beri has his storm giant show up asking it to buy him some time before retreating to the safety of Sesha’s fortress letting the team know his moves over the rings. The giant misses on all 3 attacks.

High above Marteaus seems to realize that he needs to win quickly before Kevintar is empowered enough to stand against him. He fires another series of magical bolts and charges his adversary summoning a black Scythe to his hand that he swings with power and grace. Kevintar is able to deflect a few more bolts but is struck by others. The scythe clips him twice, leaving blackened wounds. He cries out in pain, in trouble but not down yet. Below his followers intensify their efforts.

Bosk calls to Wyaar in the shadow realm (Bosk is part in both realms right now) You can beat this. Draw upon your strength.

Ooc: use a hero point to interrupt the action and move backwards, two + to cheat death, etc. Characters get one at level up, and it looks like you haven't used hardly any.

Tested Restlin breathes a sigh of relief. He's pretty sure this orc he was in would have killed him outright if he'd failed.

Of course, he'd still be in the soul gem and able to take over something else, but it would really limit his options.

His relief is tempered by seeing Wyarr go down. Red floods his vision and before he knows it he's charging over to his friend.

"HEY DORK BUTT!" he screams as he slashes at Tested15.

Saves owed to DM: None.

Bookkeeping: Archmage 12 is dead from Suffocation.

The last few had failed their will against her so easily...and now they were all resisting. These Tested were tougher than she liked. She felt more of Alices life for leave, taking damage meant for Sesha. It was necessary, but made her feel terrible.

She hears Bosks request for everyone to gather. She didn't like the idea of them all in one area for enemy spells, but healing was necessary too. She reassumes her Dragon forme, now that the breath weapon is ready, and burns a line of fire down through Tested 11.

Tested 11, 62 fire damage, reflex DC 28 for half.

Archmage 6

Spells Used: G. Invisibility, G. Dispel, T. Stop, DB Fireball, Emp. DB Fireball, Haste, M. Strike, M.M. Missile, M.Missile.

Following the orders of the great Brass Dragon who now commands it, Archmage now seeks to destroy her foes. He casts Chain Lightning, and crushes a quickening diamond when he does.

Worm 3, Archmage 8, Tested 11, and Tested 12 take 73 electricity damage. Worm 3 can make a reflex save DC 25 for half. All others only need make a reflex save DC 23 for half.

Then Archmage 8 casts Dominate Person on Tested 3, and orders him to slay the enemies of Sesha and the Iron Dragons. Will save, DC 24

------------------

.Hope.(115/115, Incorporeal, undead, haste, higher than enemy.) Link

Hope, incorporeal, throws blasts of witchfire at Tested 11, unless Seshas flame breath killed it. In which case, she throws them at Tested 12.

Hits touch ac 28 and 24 (adjusted for not having point blank shot), for 67 fire damage. Will save DC 22 or become sicked and fire vulnerable.
------------------

.Alice. (construct, 16/53, DR5, FH2, Shield Other Sesha) Link

Covered with rips and gashes in her fleshbound stuffing, Alice continues to moan pitifully. She throws herself into tested 13, hammering on its armor ineffectually.

Bosk curses under his breath as half the group flees to the fortress while leaving Wyaar behind....but seeing as the human took his advise and told death he wasn't ready to die just yet, the cleric of life and death fulfills his promise, even if catches fewer Iron Dragons in his healing spell as he would like. Bosk digs deep and prays to his god (uses a hero point) to cast a spell normally outside his ability...but if Marteaus can aid his followers Gargul can aid the Iron Dragons. Calling forth increased healing power he heals Kevintar's priests 1&2, lesser priest 2 Wyaar and RPT (assuming they are all on our side and W=Wyaar) for 200HP and curing them of most negative conditions. Next he casts a quickened divine favor on himself.

He then takes a 5ft step up and east to hide his location.

Tink has no intention of leaving Wyaar on his own. The poor guy has taken quite a beating and needs some respite.

She gives up on her attack on the tested and makes her way to his side.

"Come on. Let's get you some cover"

Tink quickly teleports Wyaar into the fortress.

She isn't ready to get our of the fight though. Tink digs deep to keep going, summoning additional aid.

The Azatas light up Tested 15, while the T-Rex chomps at Tested 14.

High above the battle Marteus and Kevintar continue to square off. Kevintar is starting to be enshrined in a golden aura and his wounds are starting to heal. It would appear the ritual might be finally taking effect.
Marteaus attacks! Kevintar is the willow in the wind, and dodges or deflects every attack. He never attacks back. Bolts of sickly green energy blow huge chunks out of the tower below Kevintar where they are redirected as Kevintar bats some away with the back of his hand. Marteus brings his scythe to bear as well and Kevintar is always just out of reach of the wicked blade. In some cases moving so fast he appears to teleport out of its path. Perhaps the tide is starting to turn...

Restlin is done being in any body but his own, but he can't very well let this brute he's taken over run amok. Although...he was really close to Agatha...

No, that's not very heroic of him. He puts a plan into action, hoping it pans out. He books it over to those rune golems, dropping his greatsword, short sword, shield, bow, and any other weapons he can find on him while he runs. He pops back into his body, then instantly starts casting time stop, hoping that dumb orc won't have time to react. He nails it.

Press your luck: 11 - I choose an extra standard action. Time stop = 1d4+4 = 7 rounds

He breathes a sigh of relief, then gets to work.

He moseys back to Sesha, casually leans against the building next to her, and waits as time catches up. "Hey love. Miss me?" he asks as his summons do their thing.

Trumpet archon casts heal on Wyarr. 140 HP healed to Wyarr.
Deva1: Full attack on Tested10. Hits AC 39 for 17, Hits AC 42 for 17. All other attacks miss. Both hits require a DC27 fort save or he's stunned for 2 and 5 rounds, respectively.

Mage's sword1 hits AC 41 for 16 damage.

Wyaar is moved! And then healed! Maybe twice!

No longer dead, he rises up and moves over to one of the very convenient arrow slits in the fortress to send an arrow arcing outwards one of the tested.

"Thank you, my friends, for once again bringing be back from the brink." he sends over the rings.

Sesha whips her neck around, coming face to face with her consort. In a flash, she is in her elven form again, lithe and graceful and covered in blood and ash. Grasping Restlin by the shirt, she sets her feet and dips him backwards, kissing his face, the embrace full of passion and vigor. She shoves him away and gives him a wry smile, her face smudged with soot. And likely now, his is as well.

"There's a very good chance Mage-Priest, that neither of us will ever feel more alive than we do right now! Burn it into your mind, your heart, and never forget it. I've centuries to live, and I may never top this moment!"

She reassumes her dragon forme after a hearty laugh, which turns into a deep, bass roar.

She uses one of the spells gained with her ritual of leeching, Chain Lightning, and casts it into Tested 12, where it bounces to the Worm that Walks.

70 damage / Reflex Save, DC 27 for the Tested, 25 for the worm.

She then casts a quickened spell, Bestow Curse, on Tested 16. Will Save, DC 25, or suffer –4 penalty on attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks until he dies.

Restlin dumps his borrowed body and time stops for some summoning fun.
Garret remembers he exists and hits someone (I totally tried to kill you last round but everyone rolled poorly XD)
Wyarr thanks his friends for the healing and shoots an arrow.
Zane gets in position to haste and try something new.
Sesha is feeling very lively at the moment and shares it with Restlin before going back into battle.
Beri finishes summoning and starts another.
Bosk attacks and sunders a tested.
Tink's summons bombard the battlefield.

Marteus continues to go all out in attacking Kevintar with his scythe and energy beams. Kevintar ducks, dodges, weaves and deflects. No matter what Marteaus does he just cannot touch Kevintar. In frustration, Marteaus charges and...Kevintar paralyzes him with a touch. Marteaus is immobile on the ground.

Kevintar walks over to his immobilized brother and says, “You shouldn’t have underestimated the path of enlightenment and self-actualization.” He bends down and claims one of the Rings of Ascension from his brother’s hand. He places the Water Ring of Ascension on his own hand and says. “To the victor goes the spoils” As Kevintar moves away from his paralyzed brother, he waves his newly ringed hand and an icy barrier starts forming around Marteus. “We’ll catch up some more later, Brother.”

His foe defeated, Kevintar floats towards the dragons. The black storm clouds that had gathered around the battle begin to disperse. With a wave of his hand he halts the combat below, immobilizing Marteaus’s followers just like their god. ”Enough bloodshed on my account. Enough of it has been spilt over the last few centuries.”

Gealen and three other remaining priests gather around and bow deeply. Agatha and Sprocket hand back, Agatha looking aside a moment to beam over at Sesha. ”My faithful. Much have you suffered to free me, and so few remain. I will remain forever in your debt. May my former master guide the souls of our lost numbers to true peace. I’m afraid a long, hard journey still remains if we’re to build a true faith for my teachings.” The priests nod solemnly, still surrounded by dead friends and colleagues. A few of them cry silently, though they keep their faces composed.

Turning, the new immortal power addresses the party. ”And you, Iron Dragons, I owe as much. You purged my faith of the evil I so foolishly reached out to long ago and despite seeing the true horror of what I now regret you found it in yourself to give me a chance. Your names will forever be praised by any who follow my teachings for as long as my teachings exist.” he bows to them. The priests follow suit.

Bosk stops shadow walking with the priests. You must thank Gargul as well for this second chance. After we explained the situation, it was he that agreed to trust our judgement and trusted you had the ability to evolve into something better than you were.

I pray you will continue on this reformed path which you have demonstrated for us.

Garret looks around as his foe suddenly stops fighting. Finally he looks up and notices that the big guy is talking to them. He nods in agreement with Kevintar and says, “Yeah, evil sucks.” Garret hasn’t been good with figuring out how to act in from of immortal powers, so he looks around to try and take clues from those around him. Then he looks around to see if there’s any food left in the leftover areas where the kitchen had been shoved aside for the massive battle.

Restlin's head swims as Sesha's exuberance is expressed. Hope's words sneak into his ear and he breaks his embrace just temporarily.

"Lady, when I start trying, you'll know it."

***

And just like that, it's all done. He looks up at Kevintar, still wondering if they made the right call.

"Well guys, at least we got a god that owes us a favor now. That'll come in handy. So...we're done, yea? This mess really over? There are a lot of seriously powerful followers of Marteus here still. We just gonna let them walk and go spread their nonsense? Their brand of nonsense gets people killed."

He walks forward and looks up at Kevintar. "Ok dude. My legacy is super important to me. I'm gonna be real sore if we end up being known as the Dragons who brought about ruin." He pauses. "You seem pretty cool, though. A little ascetic for my tastes, but so is Zane, and we get along just fine. What exactly are you going to be the god of, anyway?"

Zane remains flying, and crosses his arms, as Restlin makes his comment, he nods in his direction. Little does the Mage know just how hard Zane struggles to maintain his calm.
"Aye, just what domains are you planning on accepting some of the responsibility for. I see you've used the Water Ring to proceed with your Ascension."
Zane wonders how this will affect sailors and those who ply a trade involving the Seas....

Ooc: Is there a second ring of Ascension on Marteaus hand? With a tricky DM I could read it either way. If not, disregard. If so...

I could no help but notice that there is a second ring of Ascension on Marteaus hand. Are we going to leave that with him? I would feel better bringing it to Gargul. I worry about retaliation from Marteaus if he retains his power... otherwise, I have a couple ideas for its use.

Ooc: (As much as I would love to see Bosk use it to become an immortal power, wouldn't it be amazing if our Iron Tower became a sentient immortal power! Safest base in the World!)

Wyaar is in the tower when all of this ahppens, but when the fighting stops he lowers his bow and watches the remaining followers of Marteus with a wary gaze, I do not like the idea of letting them go free he puts over the ring

"Guardian.. could you detain these followers of the bested God? Let Gargul judge them as he will." he asks of the tower guardian, thinking it best to turn them over to the local powers that be.

Tink is still quite wary. After all, should a Justicar feel good about a prison break? Based on how many times Kevintar's followers have lied and manipulated the party, she isn't ready to believe the head of their faith straight away. Only when Gimp or Gargul say things are ok will she relax... a little.

She gives a very slight nod of her head to Kevintar "It is our duty to fight evil. Wherever we find it" Tink looks about the room and then back to Kevintar "What do you plan to do now? How do you plan on making amends for past misdeeds?"

Calling the Second Cataclysm a 'misdeed' feels quite generous.

Sesha - 305/320. AC 37 
Tuesday November 26th, 2019 8:28:38 PM

Sesha isn't quite sure that she and her allies aren't being a little too casual. Yes, they did Kevintaur a great favor, but only because Gargul set them down the path and gave his approval later.

"Perhaps we shouldn't play fifty questions with deities and powers.", she says over the ring. She isn't even certain that a deity ever owes amends to mortals.

And besides, if the divine power... not even a god... who just smote down Marteus in twelve seconds says the battle is finished.. well, in her book it is finished. So instead, Sesha finds her way to Agatha.

"It's encouraging, isn't it? To think that mortals can put gods back on their feet with enough effort?"

Beri floats down and returns to his human form, trying to not look too out of sorts after the many days they've spent completing the quest Gargul laid before them. He looks at Bosk pondering the ring.

You can disapprove of Marteus and his followers, but they were following Gargul's instructions. I don't think it's our place to interfere. The real question is what is in store for the Wold at this point. I can't imagine such a power shift won't have an affect that ripples across the Wold for ages to come.

Wednesday November 27th, 2019 5:13:52 AM
(OOC: There are 3 more Rings of Ascension on Marteus’s fingers)
Bosk stops shadow walking with the priest. He explains to Kevintar he should thank Gargul for them being there and then prays Kevintar remains reformed. The horned cleric then asks after the other Rings of Ascension on Marteus’s hand, explaining he has some ideas with how they could be used.

Kevintar says to Bosk, “Although my father did imprison me; I do owe him my thanks for without him doing that I would never be where I am today. Also he did put you on the path to aiding me and for that I will be grateful.” he takes a pause and then says, “Regarding the Rings of Ascension...I don’t think any individual should possess more than one. I am not intending to let my brother keep the rings of course but I haven’t decided what exactly should be done to each of them. Perhaps one could be placed in that vault of yours or we could consider your suggestion after I talk with my brother later. He isn’t going anywhere right now though as he is currently paralyzed and on ice.”

Garret looks around when everyone suddenly stops fighting. He looks up and notices Kevintar is talking to them and says, “Yeah, evil sucks.” before doing the typical Garret move and looking for food.

Kevintar just nods at Garret’s sentiment.

Restlin looks up at Kevintar wondering if they made the right call. He addresses Kevintar explaining that his legacy is important to him and says he is going to be sore if Kevintar brings about ruin. He then asks what Kevintar is going to be the God of as he remarks on how the Power’s asceticism reminds him of Zane.

Kevintar says to Restlin, “Given my history you are right to be wary. As Gaelen can attest I am a power dedicated to the ideals of Self-Realization and Redemption.”

Zane crosses his arms as Restlin mentions him. The Mage Priest has no idea how hard Zane struggles to deal with his dragon blood. Zane asks Kevintar what domains he will have association with and wonders what Kevintar’s possession of the water ring of ascension means for the sailors of the Wold.

Kevintar says to Zane, “I will have association with the domains of Self-Realization and Redemption (OOC: Good and Strength subdomains) which I was able to offer to Gaelen and the rest of the faithful. I think this ring, which called out to me may also perhaps open up the Water domain as well but I’m not sure about that.”

Tink is still quite wary. When should a Justicar feel good about a prison break? Also considering how many times they’ve been mislead by Agatha and the rest she isn’t ready to believe the head straight away. She is waiting for Gargul or Gimp to say things are okay to relax. She explains they fight evil where they fight it and then asks Kevintar what he plans to do now and how he will make amends for his past misdeeds.


Kevintar says to Tink
“I can understand your wariness. As for what I am going to do now, well I’ll work with my remaining followers to grow our number; making pacts and teaching others how to overcome their circumstances and become better versions of themselves. Perhaps we’ll see if any of Marteus’s people are interested in turning over a new leaf. I plan to make amends for what I did in the past by helping others to do the same. I’ll also help Gaelen's Cohort, Agatha in her quest to bring back her patron if I can. ”

Sesha feels a little uneasy with her party members casualness towards Kevintar. She suggests over the rings that they shouldn’t play 50 questions with Deities and Powers. She also thinks about how Kevintar is a power not a God and goes over the Agatha and remarks how encouraging it is that mortals can put Gods back on their feet with enough effort.

Agatha says, “I know and he says he’s going to help us bring back Janiterri and Serenbeth.”

Beri floats down and returns to his human form not trying to look too out of sorts. He looks at Bosk and says that you can disapprove of Marteus and his followers but they were following Gargul’s instructions. He remarks that the real question is what is in store for the Wold as he can’t imagine this power shift won’t ripple for ages to come.

Suddenly the party hears cackling up above. It seems Beri’s words were prophetic as above a figure stands next to the fallen Marteas holding a ring up in triumph. Her pale white face fades to a black body with a red hourglass, six arms raised in the air in triumph and a scorpion tail behind her. Jancassis.

Stowing the ring, she kneels down to caress Marteaus’s cheek. ”It seems our dear leader has gone and lost to his pathetic brother. How… pathetic. For to long have you held your power over your fellow gods Marteaus, promising us power but lording your own over us. Now here you are, alone and helpless, and vengeance is mine.”

With a sudden motion her tail whips forward and into the fallen god causing him to scream out in pain. The attack seems to break whatever spell Kevintar had him under; the crystal that enveloped him shatters and vanishes to nothing and he rolls away from Jancassis, clutching the wound in agony, before vanishing. His followers below also vanish.

She then looks directly at Bosk and says, "You have served your mistress well. My Avenger. For without you I'd never have this fire ring."

Kevintar was not idle through all this. As soon as her presence was known he started to fly swiftly towards Jancasis. She bows and speaks down to him as he ascends, ”Vengeance for both of us. Enjoy your freedom.”

Kevintar starts to reply but she vanishes as swiftly as Marteaus had. Looking troubled, he rejoins his followers and the dragons.

Restlin blinks as Beri makes a really, really good point.

"Didn't think of it like that, dude. You may be on to something."

Then Jancasis shows up. He knows Bosk pays her no small amount of homage, but eeeeesh. He's not sure THAT whole scene was a good thing. He lets loose a low whistle and waits to see how Bosk reacts.

Beri watches as the balance of power shifts among third god.
The druid notices that Bosk seems to be a little in shock over what he just saw.
I... I didn't see that coming. I hope that this ends up being a fortunate turn of events, but I agree we should head to Gargul. He should be able to tell us more about how this shift in power will play out upon the inhabitants of the Wold.

Sesha watches Jancaissis leave with no small amount of pension. Why couldn't THAT one have been the one trapped? Serenbeth owed her one, and as today taught them, gods can lose to powers.

Jancassis. As if Marteus wasn't enough. The ring will make her even more powerful, and with her directly opposed by Pantheon, this day is just getting worse for Tink. What have they done?

"Let's get out of here"

DM Mitch 
Thursday November 28th, 2019 8:22:03 AM
Restlin agrees that Beri has a good point then Jancassis shows up and he’s not sure that what happened was a good thing.
Garret goes to remark on Jancassis being there and before he knows it; its over. He then observes Bosk.
Bosk wants to lead the rest of the group in a direct line to Gargul
Zane becomes defensive as things go down. He stays ready but relaxes a little as things get discussed.
Wyaar says that he guesses that is that and agrees they should head to Gargul.
Beri watches as the balance of power shifts amongst a third God and then agrees they should seek out Gargul.
Sesha watches Jancassis leave with no small amount of pension and laments that Jancassis is not the one trapped. She knows her patron owes her one and that Gods can lose to powers if the circumstances are right.
Tink sees Jancassis gain power and things just get worse for Tink. With Jancassis opposed to Pantheon this day is just getting worse for the Justicar. She agrees they should get out of there.

However before the Iron Dragons can travel to Gargul...with a Thwump and a puff of smoke Gimp the Imp appears. “Hey Iron Dragons! I hope I’m not too late!”

He does a 360 surveying the remnants of the Bone Tower and the site surrounding it that was just a battlefield and lets out a low whistle.

He says, “So I guess the band formerly known as the Gods of Testing is splitting up. With Marteus weakened by his defeat with Kevintar he no longer has the power to keep all of them under his thumb. You just witnessed Jancassis’s reaction to what went down. Ga’al and Caeroldra have sought to strike out on their own as well. As you know The Bossman was the only God who was a member of both The Gods of the Wold and The Gods of Testing because He wanted to act as a balance but it looks like that balance is shifting. Marteus will likely be less active for a time, Jancassis might be more so, emboldened by her new acquisition. Who can say what Ga’al, Caeroldra and Warrd will do? The Bossman will remain a member of the The Gods of the Wold Pantheon at least despite the dissolution of The Gods of Testing as a unit. While unexpected, the Bossman is hopeful that this change will actually serve to weaken the harsher aspects of the Gods of Testing for the most part and hopefully turn out to be a good thing. Even if Jancassis possesses one of the rings of ascendency, she is no match for the unified front of the Woldian Pantheon and its allies among the immortal powers. Were Jancassis to attempt to make a grand move against the Wold and its people, Alemi, Domi, Pantheon, Flower, Ffloy and the Bossman stand ready to counter her.”

He then says, “Things aren’t all that uncertain, though. At least it turns out The Bossman and I may have been wrong about Kevintar. It looks like his imprisonment actually changed him for the better, but looks like you figured that out on your own. Hold on a minute I’m getting something from the boss man.”

Gimp looks off into the distance and says “Mm hmm, okay, okay. I got it.” before turning back to the Dragons, “So the boss man wants me to tell you that you made the right decision in aiding Kevintar in his battle against Marteus. With everything out in the open and Kevintar free again; He has looked into Kevintar’s heart and saw that one of his sons, at least, is earnest in his desire to move beyond what he used to be and become better. There is nothing to fear from Kevintar with respect to another year of Ascension. Although the boss man is leery of immortal powers and the pacts they forge with witches (he scowls looking from Sesha, To Gaelen, To Agatha) he seems to think that Kevintar may prove to be the exception to the rule.”

He looks to Sesha directly and says, “The bossman says he isn’t pleased with your use of Wold’s Blood but you get a pass as you were trying to save the world in an adventuring party, this time, but he might not be so forgiving in the future, especially if you are retiring.”
He looks directly to Agatha and says, “The bossman also isn’t pleased with you magicking the undead construct’s weapons to work during the battle but you also did it to save the world so he will spare you his ire this time. However if you keep pushing the envelope, your time in the afterlife may be unpleasant.”

To Kevintar he says, “You got a second chance, kid. The Bossman says don’t squander it as even if your intentions are good, you still have to work at it each and every day, but you know that. Good luck.”

To the Iron Dragons he says, “Make sure you get the undead and constructs and the er undead / construct back to the places they came from. Their presence is kind of giving the boss man a headache.”

Garret stands there, mouth agape, as Gimp tells all about the power and their petty squabbles. He says, "Huh, guess those, uh, people? are just like everyone else."

When he mentions the constructs, he looks around to see who and what might have survived the battle. In all the chaos, he wasn't able to keep track of his own party, never mind their invited guests. He pulls a turkey leg out of a hidden pocket and mumbles, "I was saving this one, never thought I'd be so far from food for such a long time." He takes a bite and looks to see if there's anyone else nearby that looks hungry.

Zane lands next to Dock, then looks around.
"Well, we'll get you back to Hook City Dock and after we get the rest of our guests back to their homes, it'll be time to take time off I guess.
When you get bored of hanging around Hook, You'll be welcome to sail with me and the crew onboard Starblazer. The crew may be devoted, but they are rather little.
And Chuck, if you write anything about The Bronze One, I'll visit you with a few corrections..... got that?"

Sesha...gets a pass? "Here that, love? You helped save the world from Kevintar's cult and weaken the god of disease, and now you get to continue living with a target on your back." Restlin's had enough of dealing with god issues for a while now, that's for darn sure.

OOC: Can't find time for a big post today, despite important stuff. I'll make up for it tomorrow.

Beri looks around at everyone that helped perform the ritual, knowing that some he may never see again once they return home.

Before everyone departs there is one promise I wanted to confirm before it is too late. If I remember, we were asked to make sure the gate to the realm of the undead king was permanently sealed. As you may have noticed, we have since found a second realm with sentient undead. We are happy to carry out the task as promised, but I feel it would be dishonorable not confirm with his representative first as it seems this might be the one group of people he might have a strong desire to establish ties with. If isolation is still preferred we understand and will carry out the task as promised and without hesitation. If you think this may be of interest to the king, we can hold off until the king confirms his thoughts. You have helped save our realm, and we promise to do what he feels will best protect his own.

A pass.

She REALLY needed Serenbeth back and kicking. Then again. An ally up there in the heavens is hard to find, apparently.

That was the second time Gargul judged her followimg unfavorably. Divine powers for the win.

Sesha pats Alice on the head, then mercifully dismisses her. She thanks Hope, then sends her home as well.

"Till next time..."

Somehow a second turkey leg appears in Garret's hands. He is now eating from two turkey legs at a time, alternating from one to the other. He sits down, quite focused on the turkey legs...

DM Mitch 
Friday November 29th, 2019 12:40:29 PM
Garret stands there with his mouth agape as he comes to the realization that deities and powers are people too. He then looks around to see who survived the battle and snacks on a turkey leg he was saving for a special occasion.

Looks like everyone survived the battle (Dock, Uthras, Mysterious Half Drow Stranger, The Custodian, The Watcher, Chuck, Megaman, Aeren, Skelter, Agatha, Gaelen, Sprocket) except for some of the remaining Faithful of Kevintar who fell in battle.

Zane lands next to Dock and says they should return him home to Hook city after they get the others home. He offers to let Dock come with him on Starblazer and tells Chuck there will be corrections to be done if he writes about The Bronze One

Dock tinkles at Zane, Highlight to display spoiler: {”Are there any plans to make me ship shape again?”} and then Chuck looks up at the Draconic Minotaur and says, “How about you just tell me what you want written now and we can skip catching up later?”

Restlin is a little perturbed that despite saving the world Sesha gets a pass (OOC: Well per the wiki writeup on Wold’s blood it seems like the Gods disprove of it being used so I thought it was appropriate) He has had enough dealing with Gods for a while.

Beri looks around at everyone who performed the ritual and realizes that some he may never see again once they are safely home. He asks Uthras if she thinks the Undead King still wants his portal sealed despite the fact of the sentient undead that exist in the form of the Skeletal Troopers from Queen Esmerald’s land.

Uthras says, “I’m not sure if their presence changes anything. I could take the matter to my liege and see what he thinks but the thing is I’m not sure if he would be be interested as the Skeletal Troopers are different from us considering they are a construction of several souls becoming a new creature while we are a transformation of a single being from life into the gift of eternal unlife, but perhaps my king may feel differently. He is a mage afterall and mayhap he feels he would gain something through interacting with and studying their race.”

Sesha is a little miffed and sends her two companions home.
Bosk thanks the group for their help.
Garret eats lots of turkey.

Kevintar and his followers thank the Dragons and their companions for the help again then vanish off to establish a new religion. Gimp says something about catching up with them later and also vanishes. With the Custodian’s help they’re able to send everyone home. Then it’s just a short teleport to their own home. Everything seemed quiet, with no sign of the Wold shaking events that just occurred.

21? That's a thing?

Restlin is sure to thank the four participants from other realms before they're sent home. He hugs the half-elf stranger goodbye and tells him he'll see him later. He has nothing to say to Agatha's crew.

Between the emotional bond they all share due to Sesha's coven, and the fact that he's a master of reading people, he can tell Tink's bothered by all this. He finds some quiet time when everyone else is saying goodbye to speak to her.

"I'm not sure giving Lady Vengeance more power is worth Marteus losing some of his own...a lot of his own, really. Does that dude have anything left? Might have to bump him down to demigod or something. Still, if we found a way to stand up to him, we can find a way to stand up to her, should we need to. I know Bosk digs her, but I trust him to do the right thing if she starts threatening good people, ya know?"

When all is done, he's very ready to go home and sleep in his bed. "OK everyone, gather round for teleports. Tink, you got half, yea?"

Zane lets Chuck know that he doesn't mind being called The Bronze One, just that he has no god like tendencies.
To Dock, "If you want to be your old self again, of course we can arrange that. You've helped us, we will help you, or did you think we wouldn't." Zane passes on Dock's wishes as to the shape he wants to be.
Then he's ready to continue, either adventuring, mentoring or searching for his Parents, He's now sure his mom is alive somewhere and with his Father being a Dragon, he doubts that he's dead either.

"Yep. Ready to get out of here" Tink takes her half of the group and teleport back home

Highlight to display spoiler: {By my reading of the post we're already home, Restlin}

It's nice to see the tower still stands. She can't hear any screams or see any fire, so we'll call that a plus.

"I wonder if the rest of the Wold realizes what we just did?"

As the group catches up Bosk ponders what this could mean for the future. I can sense your conflict through Sesha's bond. You all know I support Gargul first and foremost and serve Jancassis just where her influence overlaps his... and though I cannot picture how that role might change with respect to the dead, should her motivations or influence change, rest assured that I will side with the god of balance.

Ooc: As a side note, Bosk caused Marteaus to lose power, my tapestry character Napalm may have brought him great power in the future.

Beri looks at Tink and realizes that she is right, odds are that most people haven't yet heard what transpired. The Dragon Consortium and Star Mages Guild will no doubt spread the word in short order, along with every Woldian temple dedicated to the gods of testing.
Do we want to tell the people of Hook City what happened? I'm not sure if it's better to let the news flow from more official channels, or if it's better that we do it now so we can make sure the details are correct... there has been a lot of deception and I'm not sure I trust all parties involved not to fudge the truth a bit.

I suppose we should tell the city officials and head representatives of the various temples. They would not appreciate having to hear it second hand, and it would build relations. We should also include the WLA sages guild and star mages... You get the idea.

Sesha - 305/320. AC 37 
Saturday November 30th, 2019 4:56:14 PM

Sesha has her own reasons for not being a fan of Jancaissis.

"She just... she represents the worst of my people, and its what people think of when they think of us as a race. Bitter, angry, driven by revenge and hatred of those who wronged us. And she just stood by when her sisters were killed. One of those sisters of course, was Serenbeth."

When the conversation turns to reporting their deeds, she isn't sure.

"I don't know if that's the sort of thing we report to others, other than the consortium. If it is, fine, but religious circles tend to spread their own version of events."

DM Mitch 
Monday December 2nd, 2019 8:11:35 AM

Wyaar is glad to reaffirm his choice of patron in Ma’ab
Restlin says his farewells to some and ignores others but gets the feeling that Tink is really perturbed about the way things shook out. He isn’t sure himself if weakening Marteus in exchange for empowering Jancassis is a good thing.
Zane passes Dock’s sentiment about wishing to return to his normal ship shape and then starts thinking about what preparations will be needed for him to look for his parents.
Tink is happy to be out of there and wonders if the rest of the Wold knows what they’ve done.
Bosk reinforces to the others that he serves Gargul over Jancassis and should she use her newfound power to challenge Him with respect to the dead he will remain aligned with the God of Balance.
Beri suggests they spread the word about what happened
Sehsa is apprehensive for her own reasons regarding Jancassis.
Bosk, Sesha, Wyaar and Beri agree with respect to getting their tale on the record but before they can do that they have to deal with 2 visitors…

The first visitor is somewhat Mundane. He is a halfling man with spikey blond hair pushing a cart. He says, “Hello Iron Dragons! I would like to give you all a free sample of my latest creation. Perhaps you may have heard of me I am Guilfoyle Ferrari, some may call me a celebrity chef and I’d like to spread the celebrity around so I have come to hook city to ply my trade.”

The halfling man has a small fire set up on his car and a number of meat patties roasting on sticks. He also has a grill set up. He takes a rough country bun, slices it in two, butters the inside and then sticks it on the grill. He lets it get golden brown before adding one of the meat patties on to the grill as well. He has some red sausage links as well and slices one of those down the middle putting it on the grill to join the patty. After it has sufficiently cooked he assembles the burger putting the patty, the sausauge, a slice of pepper jack cheese, jalepenos and a red sauce on the burger. He gives the first one to Garret and says, “well what do you think?”

In short order he has assembled one for everybody and then says, “I would like to call this burger the Garret for it is short but it has a lot of kick and I was hoping you all would endorse it.”

While people are eating their burger the second visitor arrives and it is by unconventional though normal for that visitor.

With a [i]Thuwmp[/b] Gimp arrives again, “Hello Iron Dragons, I didn’t mean to drop in on you soon, but I kind of was being melodramatic and misread the situation.” He sniffs the air and says, “Can I get one of those?” indicating the burger.

Guilforyle Ferrari makes the imp one and then Gimp says between bites of burger, “You see it’s like this. Hey this is pretty good. Spicy, just the way I like it. The Gods of Testing may eventually break up and Jancassis, Caeroldra and Ga’al are certainly chaffing at the bit to go their separate ways but these kind of things take time. Gods they have all the time in the wold, literally so their time tables are a lot longer than those of mortals. While I think they are headed towards splitsville it might take a while for that to officially manifest itself in the Wold. I guess be vigilant for now and prepared for when things officially go down but I’m sorry I kind of jumped the gun on everything. So any questions before I head back again?”

Garret looks over to Tink after they're home and says, "Honestly, I'm not completely sure what we did or what the long-term ramifications are going to be of what we did..."

Garret runs out the door, knocking over a chair on his way outside to check on this guy with meat cooking in the open air. He dances from one foot to the other waiting for the sausages to cook. He takes a bite before the meat has time to cool and he closes his eyes to enjoy the taste. The first one disappears before everyone has one and Garret tries to wait his turn before he has a second.

Now? This dude was asking them to endorse his stick food now? Restlin's about to skip the whole ordeal when Gimp shows up. THAT was something that needed attention.

"I'm ok with all of those gods not working together. I'm also ok with not dealing with any of their nonsense for a long, long time."

The fact that his own patron was a god of Testing is not lost on him. He's never considered Wardd an ally of Ga'al, Marteus, or any of the other "evil" gods.

"I'm a...I'm gonna go soak. Gimp, glad things worked out." He heads up to his room and sits cross-legged on his bed. Restlin was a terrible priest. He'd accepted that, but he was also the Wold's most powerful Mendicant. Surely that earned him a bit Wardd's attention. He prays.

"Hey Wardd, it's me, Restlin. Looks like we boned things up over there with your pantheon. Not sure where that leaves you. I'm not one to give advice to a god, but I'm pretty curious where you're gonna fall in all this.

"Also, we still cool?"

Beri is actually a little happy that they have a moment to breath before any changes take place. It's been rough few weeks and his body could use a good rest before the chaos of such changes takes place.
Can't say I'm surprised. At the very least I would expect any change to take place during some big flashy gathering where they can have the most impact and attract followers to their name.
Then the druid responds over the ring.
I'm not sure what alternatives we have... but I've already been killed by a god once, not something I'm eager to repeat. I think it's best we let the gods figure out among themselves what is going to happen.

Bosk thanks the cook for the food, and if Garrett approves, then so will he. He also thanks Gimp for the clarification. Turning to the others he shakes his head at the ideas of changing their plans.

"Yeah I'm in agreement with Bosk on this one. We say what we did and what we saw and leave it at that."

Tink sniffs at the burger and tries not to act too repulsed by such strong spices. Unlike Garret she takes just a small bite and gives a smile to the vendor.

"Wow. I had such a big breakfast this morning I'm not sure I'm going to be able to fit this in as well. You want mine, Garret?"

DM Mitch 
Tuesday December 3rd, 2019 7:05:45 AM
(Note from DMs to PCs: As you may have guessed we have finished the planned endgame for Hook City. We have nothing planned for the next 2 weeks, after which we’ll do a retirement party for the group before the break occurs. As such we’ll try to create interesting follow up things for people to check out and everyone should feel free to do any activities they want their character to do before retirement.

Garret replies to Tink that he is not sure what they did or the long term ramifications is going to be. Garret wolfs down his Garret before it has even had time to cool and he tries to wait his turn while Guilfoyle is serving the others to grab his second.

Restlin is incredulous about the guy wanting the Iron Dragons to endorse his stick food now of all times but when Gimp shows up. He personally is ok with the Gods of Testing not working together. He also is okay not having to deal with them for a long time. Restlin says he is going to go soak and then sits on his bed praying to Warrd. He mentions the recent uncertainty with Warrd’s pantheon and then asks if they are still cool.

To Restlin’s shock he actually hears a response in his head. ”I wouldn’t worry about my Pantheon, let’s just say there is going to be more parity and I think we’re more likely to stick together than wander off in our separate ways; though only time will tell. Also remember how Marteus had 2 rings when he left you? Well now he only has one. I had to test my luck against Marteus and what do you know it's true what they say, it really is better to be lucky than good but I’d like to think I’m a bit of both. You already know that. I couldn’t have gotten this sweet sweet air ring without you my most powerful Mendicant. Well done!”

Zane suggests letting the Wold find out whatever is going to happen with the Gods of testing on their own when the time comes.

Beri is happy they have a beat and says he isn’t surprised and that he would expect any change to be announced at a gathering where the Gods of Testing would have a chance to attract new followers. Over the rings he tells the others he isn’t sure what the alternative is but he’s already been killed by a God once and doesn’t want to repeat it.

Bosk thanks the cook and pending Garret’s endorsement he at least will sign on as well. To the others he says over the rings that he feels they should put everything out in the open lest someone else twist whatever happens later for their own ends.

Tink agrees with Bosk and just tries a small bite of the burger.


Gimp says, “To be clear, it’s possible The Gods of Testing don’t actually break up. Only time will tell what will happen and if something further happens to alter the balance of power maybe they’ll stay together; Marteus just won’t lord it over the rest of them. So if you tell people what happened you might just want to say the Gods of Testing may change because of what happened with the rings but you don’t know exactly how in the long term. Sorry I listened in on your party line by the way”

Guilfoyle makes Garret another edible Garret and prepares to hand out more of the burgers for anyone interested in having seconds, thirds or nths; whatever the case may be. He looks abundantly interested in what Garret has to say and asks his fellow halfling, “So what do you say? Will you endorse the burger that bears your name?”

Gimp has a second Garret of his own and asks Guilfoyle to make him one to go to take to Gargul.

So what will you do now? Some of you have already taken some time to rest while others are advocating you go … somewhere? Presumably to the Hook City government and the heads of the different religions about what happened between Kevintar and Marteus at the Bone Tower. Do you have a place you’d like to head first? Maybe take the evening to rest and start fresh in the morning? Who knows maybe you can convince Guilfoyle to stay the night and cook you guys a fine dinner? The choice is up to you...

Tuesday December 3rd, 2019 10:57:03 AM

Sesha still isn't convinced there's much worth announcing. She's said her piece though, and is done with it. Restlin leaves the commons for a bath and his room, so she does the same.

She had a lot of things to consider.

As she walks barefoot towards her caves, she stops to breathe in the moist air. Her eyes adjust to the darkness, and she smiles at Sister, who is sitting on the edge of her furs waiting for her to return. Sesha sighs, then joins her simulacrum.

"Hello master.", Sister quips.

"Not master. Anything else but that."

"So sorry. Hello sister. How was your adventure?"

Sesha groans and plops into her own furs. In a moment, she feels smooth, ebony hands on her back, working through her tension. She purrs, then closes her eyes and begins to drift to sleep. Only a question pulls her, against her will, back to consciousness.

"Have you seen Y'zargo and the others? They were agitated with worry. Y'zargo in particular was very aggressive."

Seshas sudden start startles Sister, and her massage falters for a moment. Something... there was always something to do, Sesha thought sadly. And sometimes "something" was dealing with lecherous apprentice warlocks.

Garret is happy with the food. He accepts a third sandwich and is asked if it is good. He says, "Oh yes, it..." He pauses a moment and says, "But let me try one more just to make sure..."

"And just another because there was a flavor I was noticing..."

"Here now, I'm sure with one more that I can taste that flavor..."

Soon Garret is all but drooling as his stomach is truly filled for the first time in a long time. He takes a seat and tries to cram yet another sandwich in. Some smears on his face and some dribbles down the front of him. He tries to keep his eyes open as the food coma sets in. "I thhhin...Ugh..."

"Well, if we are going to confront the PTB and inform them of what happened, We should arrive there in style at least.
Why not have everyone get cleaned up and dress up a bit, then we'll hop on Starblazer and sail across the city to where we will have already told those leaders to meet us. Somewhere basically neutral, not here, and not at their power center. Thus maintaining a balance among them and us. We didn't go crawling to them, and none of them are hosting such an important meeting, thus balance.
We will be having a bit of advantage, because we declared where the meeting will be, but by not holding it here, our base of power, we are not demanding they look like they are submitting to us either.
We craft the letters to be delivered phrased such that we will be laying out first hand knowledge that should be known by many. And declare the location where will we be telling the information. If said invitees wish to learn what we have to say, they will be there at a time we set, as we will not be repeating the meeting. And at the bottom of the invite we list all who are invited to the meeting, thus those who fail to show up can not accuse us of not telling them all the same information.
As Dragon Disciples, we are slightly above, but we are also sharing.

Hoe's that sound. I can have members of "Clan of the Bronze" deliver the invites to those we invite here in Hook City."

I think a stop at home first to clean up is a good idea. It's been weeks since we had a quality bath, and that last fight was pretty intense. I think every nose in Hook City will appreciate us taking getting cleaned up first... and it will take a while for everyone to get the news.

Sesha returns to her own quarters. She is greeted by Sister who refers to her as master before Sesha tells the construct not to call her that. She then decides to go in search of Y’zargo and the rest of her coven for she is concerned about what her apprentice warlock could have gotten up to.
Garret samples several of Guilfoyle’s Garrets becoming more full than he has in a long time. He gives Guilfoyle a little bit of feedback along the way before finally passing out in a food coma.
Bosk smiles at Garret’s antics and observes that Guilfoyle has his endorsement
Wyaar enjoys the burger as well and agrees that the Garret is a good name.
Zane comes up with a grand strategy for planning a meeting of the veritable whose who in the Wold at a nuetral territory where the Iron Dragons can inform them of the outcome of their most recent adventure. He suggests they take time to bathe and dress nice and have invitations made that list all who are invited as well as outlining that they will not be repeating the meeting. He also suggests that he could have the Clan of the Bronze act as curriers for those they invite from Hook City.
Beri agrees they should bathe first too before arranging any meetings.
Tink sighs and says they’ll have to invite the star mages

Sesha and Restlin have retired, Garret is asleep in his food. Zane, Bosk, Beri and Wyaar and Tink are still gathered near Guilfoyle’s cart.

At the hearing of the meeting Zane suggests Guilfoyle perks up and says, “What is a meeting without some refreshment? How many folks are you expecting? Perhaps I could cater the affair? Don’t worry it won’t all be Garrets in fact I might have to adjust the recipe and make Garret sliders if you are expecting a large number of people to show up.”

Who specifically do you intend to invite besides the Star Mages and on what neutral ground will you have your meeting on. Will anyone help Garret prior to attending the meeting because a halfling asleep in the remnants of the burger bearing his name is probably not the kind of impression you want to give at such an important meeting.

Restlin is a little honored to get direct contact from Wardd. He considered it a violation of his ethos to pester and rely on his god, but it was nice to be recognized.

Also, did he just say he snagged one of Marteus' rings too? Heh, that scamp...

That done, he'll head back to discover there's meeting planning going on. Restlin performs his duties as Chief Garret Wrangler, using a telekinesis spell to carry the sleeping monk upstairs. He makes sure the rest of his food is on a plate within arms reach for when he wakes up, then prestidigitizes off what's smeared on his face.

"I agree on the whole Star Mage thing, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. Other than that, can we get away with just inviting the heads of all the temples in Hook City?"

Restlin is honored to be contacted directly by his patron. He’s also happy that He managed to snag his own ring. He sees to his Garret rangling duties, cleaning the halfling up and putting him to bed.
Zane suggests the heads of the various religions and the star mages as invitees as well as the bridge as a meeting place. He asks if anyone has any other invitee ideas.
Garret starts snoring and squashes another Garret into his mouth while he sleeps
Wyaar agrees that the bridge is a good spot and suggests they proclaim their message to whoever will hear it. They could also spice things up with some projections in the sky.
Beri agrees that the bridge will be a good choice and suggests some voice amplification to go with the moving pictures.
Bosk also agrees and says to make sure no one changes the message.

Guilfoyle bids you all ado and says, “I must get my ingredients if I am going to cater your astounding bridge meeting with moving illusions and amplified sound. This sounds like a spectacle that will be spoken of for the ages and thanks to you the Iron Dragons I will be a part of it. I will have to come up with dishes to represent all of you in the future. Garret of course bears a special spot for me because he is a halfling who truly loves eating food but the rest of you should also be honored in that way.”

You have decided you are going to invite the Star Mages and the heads of all the religions in Hook City. Guilfoyle Ferrari will cater the affair and you are going to arrange to have a picture show with amplified sound. Do you want to extend an invite to Inspector Auslander, the Weavers or any other Hook Citizens you know? Will you take the night to rest and then dispatch the clan of the bronze as runners with the invitations? Any other preparations you need to make before the gathering?

Then, Restlin does just that.

Garret, when he wakes up from his food coma, looks around and wonders where the food cart went. He doesn't notice that he's been cleaned up, but he follows along with Restlin because he just likes to see Auslander's reactions to the Iron Dragons. He's considering putting up a side bet that Auslander asks the Iron Dragons to fill out a form to get a permit to use the bridge...

Beri thinks back on the huge list of Hook City laws and shrugs.
So... we may have re-broken the second law we were yelled at for breaking, though I'm not sure it's still in place after Hook City lost it's magic. Thankfully we didn't re-break the first one we broke, no kings were spit on today. It's been a while since anyone spit on a king, we must have matured quite a bit since then.

Bosk is about to say they should invite everyone until he hears Beri... I do not think they will arrest us, especially since there are few who could detain us again our will...and they would look pretty silly if they asked us to go willingly and we refused.

I jest. If you recall, that law does not apply to us. We were given free access when we became the Iron Dragons. We even have our own teleport, just like the Children of Chaos before us.

Restlin remembers Auslander and decides they’ll defer to the inspector as to which folks amongst Hook City leadership should be invited. He extends an invite to the Inspector and seeks his advice as to who to invite.

Garret wakes up from his food coma and looks around wondering where the food cart went. He tags along with Restlin to see the man’s reaction.

Wyaar asks if they are sure they haven’t broken any laws and that they won’t be arrested. He muses on their history.

Zane observes that if they didn’t get trouble at the end of their adventuring life it wouldn’t be them.

Beri thinks back on the huge list of Hook City laws and shrugs. He suggests they broke the second law but not the first one as no Kings were spit on. He notes the Iron Dragons maturity.

Bosk notes as dragons they’d be immune to being prosecuted anyway.

Auslander greets Restlin and Garret and says “ What’s all this then? A meeting for a veritable whose who of Hook City? Well we will need representatives from the religions, the mages, the city government, the nobles and the merchants.” He pulls out a record book and starts listing off names. Before you know it you have a pretty big invite list and you create the invitations you talked about. The clan of the Bronze act as couriers and Guilfoyle is appraised of how many guests to expect.

You set a time of day when you should have good weather and full visibility since you wanted to do an image show.

Guilfoyle has brought an even bigger cart and has sous chefs in tow. Pretty soon a variety of pleasant food smells is drifting over the gathering. Besides Garret sliders there is a variety of small plate style cuisine. Ramekins full of pasta with melted cheese, braised pork served on a pancake like offering with sprouts and a tangy sauce, a brick oven cooked flat bread smothered with red sauce, cheese and a variety of toppings. Other small sandwiches in slider forms featuring a plethora of different meat and topping options.

As your guests start getting their food everything seems to be lining up. The day is clear, the sky is sunny and you have a very good chef catering. Among those gathered you see Auslander (of course), Mara Weaver, Torm, Flea, and Agatha. Various high profile figures are present from the different religions, factions and bureaucrats that call Hook City their home.

They seem to be all waiting for you ...

The reason for this is to be sure you get the entire story, not just one side of it, or a slanted version told so as to someone's favor.(he glances towards Agatha and the Star Mages) It is important to Us and to the Wold as a Whole.
Now, that everyone's attention is upon the Dragons, Let me hand off the telling to another."

If Garret starts forward to speak, Zane will pull out a meat on a stick to gather his attention elsewhere.

He swallows, carefully places the rest of the burger into his belt pouch and starts to step forward. He says, "Good people of..." Then he spots Zane's meat on a stick. He looks at the crowd, then over at the meat again. He puts up one finger to the crowd indicating that they should wait a minute, and then quickly scampers over to grab the meat on a stick.

Restlin sighs quietly. "Fiiiiine. I'll do it."

He steps up. "Ok, Hook City bigwigs, listen up! We've been busy, and our latest adventure has pretty radically shook up our world's Patheon. I know a lot of you are more into powers than gods, but you should probably still be aware.

"Point the first: Kevintar is free of his prison." He moves his hands up and down, palm down, in the universal symbol of "shush, already!" if there's any murmuring. "Fortunately for those of us not looking forward to another god war tearing the place apart, he's spent his time in isolation well, and is determined to be a force for self-realization and redemption. Beats the heck out of being Gargul's muscle.

"Point the second: Marteus has been stripped of some of his power by Jancassis." He makes sideways glances to Tink and Bosk. "Feelings are split on this matter. Time will tell."

He has kept the tidbit about Wardd's acquisition of another ring to himself so far, and continues to do so. Fair? Maybe not, but it's his call.

"Anyway, the Gods of Testing are about to go through some big reorganizing. They move on god timelines, not mortal timelines, so we're not expecting any huge changes right away." He looks up, briefly. If something major was going to happen right away, this would be the moment it did.

Saturday December 7th, 2019 11:05:31 AM
Bosk steps up to the podium. For those that do not know, in the First Age of the Wold, when Alemi first rose to power, he made Gargul the god of death and the feelings and mind set that one would. At that time people viewed balance as evil vs life, but with Gargul's help we evolved with him and learned that true balance is that of life and death... Of good and evil. As he traveled the Wold to unravel these mysteries he had Marteaus oversee all that dealt with evil and Kevintar oversee all things dealing with death.

This realization that life and death were separate form the issues of good and evil shook the understanding of the gods of the Wold, who had previously sent evil and life opposite sides of the same coin.

Just as Gargul evolved and showed us a true path, so too has Kevintar evolved. After several ages of reflection he has come to embody a new type of rebirth. Where as Marteaus sought a new form of rebirth...to strengthen people and make them their best possible self through trials designed to overcome their weaknesses, Kevintar has found a better path through enlightenment and self-actualization.

As for what will happen to the organization of the gods of testing, we might never know. The gods are immortal, so the have the luxury and time to change slowly. It might take days, years or generations to see the resolution if these changes. But we thought the people of this great city deserved to hear the accounts if what happened first hand rather than through the filter of someone who was not there and may have an agenda.

Bosk then reveals a statue he created using every ounce of his skill. It is a marble carving depicting the great battle of Hook City against the Zombie Hoards with the citizens prominently displayed in foreground, doing battle with whatever last on have and the Iron Dragons bravely fighting in the background. The relief is designed to inspire courage in all who seek it.

Ooc: If possible, I would like this placed outside our tower and to grant a +1 morale bonus to saving throws against fear to all who view it for 20-30 minutes per the spell bless. (I haven't update my sheet, but I should have +27 to crafting wonderous items without any magical enhancements, so hopefully this isn't asking too much or have breaking)

"So, any questions?" That was probably a lot for everyone to take in and understand. Tink doesn't want to publicly call out the Star Mages Guild in front of the crowd. That might come across as a little petty. There's no doubt a few good people in the organisation, but they do need to be aware of any poison apples.

Wyaar nudges Garret and suggest the halfling give a speech.
Beri waits for someone else to start speaking
Zane explains the reasoning behind the gathering and then prepares to hand speaking privileges over to one of the better orators. He then prepares a meat on a stick distraction should Garret try to listen to Wyaar’s suggestion.
Garret goes to speak his mouth full of Garret Burger but only gets so far as “Good People Of…” before going for Zane’s stick meat.
Tink starts up the picture show using a silent image spell high in the air
Restlin address the crowd, letting them know that Kevintar is free but that he has changed. He also lets it be known that Marteus has been weakened by Jancassis and that there could be some change to the Gods of Testing Pantheon in the long term. (OOC: are you not sharing that Warrd further weakened Marteus as well?)
Bosk puts things in perspective by putting what happened in the context of history. He also reiterates the timeline for a God change is unknown and reveals a new statue meant to embolden and inspire the good people of Hook City.
Tink asks if anyone has any questions.

There is a chattering amongst the gathered crowd at the news of things being shook up. You hear things like: “A new immortal power?” “Diametrically opposed to Marteus? Jancassis weakened Marteus? Infighting amongst the Gods of Testing? That might not be good...”

Torm is actually the first person to raise a question, “Greetings…...Iron….Dragons….You....raise...an...interesting….point…...the...majority of us…..do….worship….the….immortal...powers...in...some...form...or…….another….might...it...make...sense...to….offer...the….head...of…………..Kevintar’s faith…..a….plot….of….land...within...the….city….”

Auslander says, “Yes well, that is all well and good but they need to fill out forms 107 aught c in triplicate and get a certified notary to noterize documents 7806 strike f and 8306 stike j. If the paperwork is in order than the head of Kevintar’s church may have a parcel of Hook City land tax exempt per ordnance e2d5 paragraph c.”

Agatha says, “Well I’m actually the cohort of the head of Kevintar’s faith, Gaelen Mercurious. Although my pact is with Janiterri, Kevintar has indicated he is willing to work with Sesha and I to try to bring back some of the Serenbeth sisters if possible. Anyway, I also happen to be a certified notary so I’ll work with Gaelen to get the proper forms in place and then I’m sure Kevintar’s faithful would be more than happy to join your city officially.”

One of the Guard Captains speaks up, “How pray tell did Jancassis weaken Marteus? Might the technique she used be adapted to vanquish him once and for all? A wounded animal becomes a desperate animal so might it be worth it to mount an expedition to vanquish Marteus while he is weakened?”

At the guards question there certainly is a lot of murmuring among the crowd.

Auslander says, “I think that one is above my paygrade. Iron Dragons I think this metaphysical question about slaying a God albeit a weakened one is for you.”

Restlin is not in the god-slaying business. No sir.

"I won't speak for my friends, but I'm not too interested in slaying Marteus. Even if it is possible, should we? That sounds like a great way to kick off another Cataclysm or Year of Ascension.

Garret chomps on the meat on a stick and nods in agreement with Restlin. He mumbles through his still-full mouth, "Yeah, I've had enough of dealing with gods. Perhaps it's time for something a little... less involved."

Zane looks directly to the Guard Captain that asked about slaying Marteus,"We may be The Iron Dragons, Representatives of the Dragon Consortium but, we deal with what happens on the Wold and the sphere around it. We may act on behest of the Gods, but the Gods will determine amungst themselves the out come of the actions we were requested to take.
Talk about being above one's pay grade, that's not something I even want to consider. We mortals, have enough troubles of our own to take care of without borrowing any from the Realms of the Gods.
Now, since the question about giving Kevintar space here in Hook City has been dealt with, any other questions?"

"I don't mean to step on toes, Inspector, however there is also form 13 dash 6 of the lands act that needs to be completed" Ahhh... paperwork and laws. Tink is indeed home again "Perhaps we can also have a quiet word later about a related matter?"

No. Just no. There is no way that Tink will be sitting quietly and letting Agatha take any further part in things here. She's still waiting for Agatha to reveal her allegiance to Marteus. It seems like the sort of thing she'd do. If Tink could think of just one law that Agatha had broken, just one, she'd have her in chains so fast that... that...uh... "Shoot, I thought I had something there"

Sesha - 305/320. AC 37 
Monday December 9th, 2019 7:31:24 PM

Sesha makes a point to stand with Agatha during most of the preceedings. She knows Agatha is very disliked, but Sesha understands and forgives her, probably because the way she sees it, she would have handled a group like the Iron Dragons exactly the same way Agatha did.

Sometimes, needs must. Even if you know the good guys will .. probably help you ... its prudent sometimes to manipulate them into helping you for sure. And if Serenbeth was at stake? She'd do it in a heartbeat.

She gives Agathas hand a comforting squeeze now and then.

"If you need anything, be sure to come to me. It will probably have the best result."

Beri looks at Tink's frustration. Agatha hasn't exactly been on the Dragon's side, and her actions had put them in very real danger. He reaches out to Tink over the link:
...So, Agatha wants to play the role of a notary? And she's a cohort of the head of Kevintar’s faith? Sounds like a conflict of interest to me. I would suspect that most places would have some sort of law against such conflicts... and Hook City sure likes it's laws...

Restlin is not in the God Slaying business and conveys this to the assembled group. He speculates that killing a God could cause another cataclysm and that it is better to have Marteus around in a weakened state than a potentially worse alternative.
Garret chomps on his meat on a stick and suggests he’s had enough of dealing with Gods
Wyaar suggests that direct conflict with Gods is not the job of the Dragon Consortium and explains he’d only go directly against Marteus if Queen Ma’ab asked him to
Zane echoes what the others said about taking on Gods. He asks if there are any other questions.
Tink mentions form 13 dash 6 with respect to forms that need to be filled out to set Kevintar’s followers up with land and asks if she can talk later quietly. Tink is still dubious of Agatha.
Sesha stands with Agatha during most of the proceedings. She can empathize with why Agatha made the decisions she did and if she was put in Agatha’s position dealing with a group like the Iron Dragons she could see herself behaving the same way. She tells Agatha to come to her if the woman needs anything.
Beri looks at Tink’s frustration and asks if Agatha being both the cohort of someone forms are being filled out for and the notary of said forms is a conflict of interest.

A child responds to Zane, “Were you scared to travel through the gates and oppose Marteus to his face?”

Auslander says, “I think this one is for you also since I wasn’t there.”

After the child has been satisfied another person raises their hand. He is a tall elf with a hooked nose who says, “Jelatheon Oewellion with the Hook City Herald; May I have an exclusive interview with the Iron Dragons? I want to do a retrospective of your adventuring careers culminating in your most recent adventurer and this meeting on the bridge.”

Auslander says, “I’m not your manager. If you want to grant the reporter an interview you are more than welcome too.”

Zane crouches down and gets almost to the child's level.
"I was more worried that scared while we traveled through the gates. There were a couple encounters on the other side of the gates when I was very nervous that we might not succeed at our mission.
As to facing Marteus, we weren't there to face him. He leans in closer to the child, then stage whispers, "Now, between you and me, yes, I was scared, I'm only me, a Man, Marteus is a Divine being, he is a God, and a God has awesome amounts of power. I was scared he'd snap his fingers and I'd be gone. Remember this, just because you are scared, doesn't make it so you can't be Brave at the same time. Be brave, Be the Best you can be, and be honest to yourself."
Zane stands back up, satisfied with what he's said. Over the rings, "I could have the reporter talk to Kip...."

"Yes, Mr. Oewellion, we can arrange that. Meet us at our tower at noon tomorrow. We'll discuss terms then."

This was a big deal to Restlin. How his legacy is committed to paper is really important to him, so he's going to make sure he gets it right.

Yes, it would be best to meet tomorrow to discuss it. It is a far more complicated tale than you would believe, and we want to make sure we hit all the important points. Or perhaps you would believe it, I know that a lot of our tale is already permanently recorded in the records of Hook City, though I'm sure the full tale you would tell is far more interesting than the summary in any bureaucratic records.

Zane crouches down and answers the child. He tells her about being nervous during some of the encounters and explains that they weren’t there to face Marteus but whispers that he was scared. He encourages her to always be brave and then offers over the ring to have Kip talk to the reporter.

Garret offers the little girl some meet on a stick.

Bosk lets the others answer the questions

Restlin suggest Oewellion meet them at the tower the next day at noon. He feels that this is important as he wants to make sure his legacy is captured correctly.

Beri agrees it is bet to meet tomorrow to discuss tomorrow the interview. He suggests the story is more complicated than someone would believe but they want to make sure all the important parts get hit. He says a lot of their adventures were recorded in the records of Hook City but the reporter probably wants something more interesting than bureaucratic records.

The story done, the question answered the catered gathering of people at the bridge turns into a block party-esque atmosphere. Guilfoyle continues to produce small plates well into the evening and everyone is able to have their fill even any halflings in the audience. Some musicians happen to be in attendance and they start serenading the crowd.

As things start to wind down Auslander seeks out Tink and says “There was some matter you wanted to discuss with me.”

How do you spend the party and the evening after the party? Do you throw and afterparty at the Tower after the bridge gathering? Who do you invite?

The next day around noon Oewellion shows up. He knocks at your door and says, “I believe I am expected?”

After being ushered in he asks, “So what are you looking for exactly in order to grant my interview request? I have no intention of doing a hatchet job if that is what you are worried about and as pointed out yesterday the official records are rather dry. The retrospective I want to write is a noble/ignoble race interest piece.”

Tink briefs Auslander on the events with Agatha. The deception, running off without warning, putting the party in danger, and everything else she can think of. She is very serious throughout her report.

"After all the trouble she has caused us I would advise against having her act as a notary for Kevintar's faithful. In fact, based on her actions, I would advise caution dealing with her at all. I can't say I trust her nor will again. She put her secretive goals ahead of the dangers and risks to others. Not the sort of person I would trust in terms of looking out for the people of Hook City.

If a notary is to work with this ... organisation ... I would recommend Robert. He seemed an honest fellow. I'd be happy to mentor him if he needs assistance."

Restlin's not there with Tink, but he is in spirit.

He does keep the party going for a while on the bridge. After all, they gathered Hook City's dignitaries and catered it. It would look foolish to just wrap it all up in 10 minutes. He puts on his public face even though he's just bone tired and ready for some downtime.

The next day, he's prepared to meet with this Oewellion bloke. "What are we looking for?" He ponders for a moment. "Make us look good, make sure to highlight how different we all are and how we use that as a strength, make sure we seem like fun people. Because we are...even Bosk."

Zane will stay for most of the party, but heads back to the Tower, stopping at Starblazer to check in on Kip and get a report from his First Officer. Then afterwards heading down to the now clan housing level (the old stable area) to find out if the clan needs anything or if there is any trouble with Hook City or it's people.

I think I'll stay out a while. With such a colossal change in the pantheon I am sure there will be a lot of talk going on. I doubt anything is going to happen until the gods sort things out amongst themselves and the results get relayed to their temple heads, but it never hurts to be informed of the way things are shifting within the walls of the city.

Beri heads to the Drunken Lyre for a few pints, reporting back any interesting rumors over the rings, but will return in time to be rested and presentable for the interview.

When he discusses the terms of the interview Beri has a few thoughts as well.
Also, make sure any discussion of the gods involved is respectful. I've been killed by a god before and I really would prefer not to have that happen again. With a shift in power like what happened, it can be easy to let one's feeling towards certain ones slip through, especially when it comes to the gods of testing.

Tink airs her suspicions regarding Agatha and says "Yes well if she is Gaelen's cohort I think she cannot be his notary as well per the city bylaws
I would quote the exact paragraph but seeing as how I'm off duty now I'll had a few rounds. Why don't you send my clerks copies of your notary's resume and we can register him with the selection process."

Garret parties late and can be heard snoring when Oewellian shows up.

Restlin also parties though not as late as Garret. The next day he tells the reporter that they want to look good and how the Iron Dragons though different use that as a strength and lastly he says to make them all seem fun even Bosk.

Zane leaves the party to check in on his Clan of The Bronze followers in the old stable area. He is greeted with cheers of "All hail Ths Bronze One!" and other adorations and he learms from kip that the courier service they've been running has taken in enough revenue to keep them provisioned.

Beri spends the night of the party at the Drunken Lyre. He tells the others of rumors he heard. Supposedly some golden eyed menace is causing problems in Dirt City and The Mailed Fist sent a unit to investigate rumors of a lich. Asife from those bits of info the rest of the convo ks rather boring. The next day the druid is prsssntable for the reporter and suggests that any discussions involving the Gods are repectful.

Oewellian says "killed by a God eh? That sounds like an interesting story. Don't suppose you would like to talk about it?"

As to Restlin and Beri's request Oewellian says I can make you look good and as for fun that party you threw speaks for itself. I can also be tasteful with respect to the Gods. For the part about highlighting how your differences are a strength can you give me some examples? Assuming this interview is happening I would like to start with how you all met and move forward in time from there.

"Most of us weren't there when the Iron Adventurers formed. Bosk was, I think Beri was, or at least joined soon after?" He looks to Beri for confirmation.

"I joined early in the group's history, but the rest of us have shuffled in and out. Bosk can tell you about the founding, as well as how we got this tower. He loves telling that story.

"As far as examples, that's tough. We've been together so long, that we just know when someone's going to do something. If a group of bad guys charges us, our melee folks back off until we casters throw area effect spells at them. If someone asks us a question one person's particularly well suited to answer, we all just stare at them waiting for them to answer it. When there's a story to be told, it's assumed I'll be the one doing it, for example."

Restlin's purposely not turning on his storytelling mode. He's not here to impress this guy, he's here to make sure what gets written is appropriate.

"It's respect, really, that defines us. We are all ridiculously capable people, and we don't waste time second guessing each other. We disagree constantly, and have had tempers flare, but we speak plainly, figure it out, and move on without grudges.

"Though I am still kinda sore about the time Bosk wouldn't let me save the world by taking a bath."

"As for myself, I joined up with the group soon after they had formed, A few years later I got some information about a lead that might lead to my Parents, so I went off to follow them. After exhausting those leads and the leads that I uncovered, I returned and slid back into the group, like there was almost no changes. I even still today, when we have time, I continue the search for my Parents, whom I no longer believe to be deceased."

I joined up with Bosk shortly after he started his adventure, and indeed I was one of those that signed the initial paperwork to form the Iron Adventurers... because, in Hook City there is always paper work.

As for the time I was killed by a god, now that's an interesting story!

You see, we were called upon by Gargul himself to deal with a danger that could mean the end to all life in the Wold. A danger that was being brought about by a cult, and we had found out that even Gargul's most devout had been deceived into believing they were serving him. Well, naturally I asked how we could tell we were serving the will of Gargul and not the imposter when the imposter was able to fool those who have devoted a lifetime to Gargul.

..You no doubt have seen the dimple in the middle of my forehead

Beri brushes aside his hear to give the reporter a clear look.

I watched in terror as the god transformed into a giant eye 100 feet tall. I was helpless as I watched the eye crash into me with a force enough to kill a man a hundred times over. I learned that day that Gargul isn't one for subtlety.

I am told that my soul rose like mist from my corpse, my spirit unable to interact beyond sending a feeble whisper. That there is the mark left where the Rolling Eye of Gargul first touched me. It twinges painfully whenever in the presence of the God of Life and Death, but thankfully not if he is absent. It is also a reminder of why I worship Queen Maab and not Gargul.

ooc: Sorry, I feel asleep posting last night.

"There he goes!" "Get him!"... That is how it all began. Hard to believe it was only a few years ago. Let me start at the beginning.

It had been raining for the last three days, and the best thing that may be said about the drizzle that continued into the new day was that it was not the downpour that had been occurring previously. I surved the scene before me: the vast, muddy expanse of space that is right outside the northern gates into the City of Magic-- Mudtown....and I was the newest visitor. The pace was brisk and the action a bit lively, but anyone looking to hire themselves out as guards to the merchants had been directed to this area of Hook City--which the city guard did not regard as part of the city proper, so (short of a murder occurring within sight of the gates or the guard towers of the huge protective wall that surrounds the city) any people who occupied Mudtown were largely on their own.

I had left the bad memories of my hometown behind me and was concerned with staking a place in this locale--specifically the track that was called "Hire Road." The "road" was a muddy, wide swath cut between several rows of wooden buildings that were lined with adventurers seeking positions with the merchants that have to wait outside the walls of the city until their number is called. There were several people that traversed the road, obviously merchants, as they all seemef to peer at the various mercenaries with intent eyes. The easiest way to tell the difference between the merchants and the mercenaries was that most of the merchants were being carried over the ever-muddy ground, usually in specially-crafted litters or chairs mounted on horizontal poles, although there were a few who seem to be levitating. Occasionally one or another of these merchants beckoned to one or another of the mercenaries and began to speak in earnest with them about becoming "gainfully employed".

As I scanned the chaotic scene, I heared a yelp and turned to see a running little boy of about 3ft. in height being pursued by several people, who are shouting to each other: "There he goes!" "Get him!"

Myself and several other strangers stepped in to prevent the murder if the little boy....well... He ended up being a handling thief disguised as a little boy, but because of how we handle the situation a merchant hired the lot of us and the rest is history.

I believe I am the only remaining member of that party, but we together formed a protection group. We faced a well know group known as the Iron Band, and Beri joined our group at this time. After our next job we officially became know the Iron Adventurers. This was in no small part due to a half-orc in our group known as Maikill. He figured that Iron was strong, and the Iron Band was strong. Therefore we needed Iron in our name to be strong. No amount of arguing would change his mind....

Anyway, since then members have come and gone until the final group you see before us came together. I will let the others tell of their addition.

DM Hugh - The interview 
Friday December 13th, 2019 1:03:06 AM
Garret continues to sleep as the wold is not at stake for once.
Restlin explains that aside from Bosk most of the group wasn’t there at the group’s inception. He explains that he had joined early but the rest have shuffled in and out and suggests Bosk can tell about the founding and how they got the tower.
The Mage Priest then starts talking about how the group members complement each other listing off how when they are attacked the meleeists hold off until the casters can get off their area of effect spells, that if someone knows the answer to a question they just look at that person till they do and lastly explains he’s the designated storyteller but he doesn’t turn up the charm. The mendicant explains they are all capable people and while they disagree they speak plainly and figure things out. He then mentions the time Bosk wouldn’t let Restlin save the world by taking a bath.

Oewellian had been jotting things down in a journal while Restlin was talking. He looks up from his writing and says, “The time Bosk wouldn’t let you save the world by taking a bath? Don’t think I had heard that one. Also follow up question, were you and Matron in Waiting Sesha an item at that time and how did she feel about your bath plan if she was?”

Zane explains he joined the group, left to search for his parents then came back. He still believes they are no longer deceased and is continuing to search for them.
(OOC: I thought the cult had a guy who turned Zane’s parents remains into Bone Golems or because the golems are destroyed was their evidence the parents were resurrected?)

Oewellian says to Bosk, “If you can give me any information you have on your parents I can do what I can to put the word out in the Herald that you are seeking them out.”

Wyaar explains he joined because his queen told him too then mentions the time Restlin got stuck in a rope trick when every one else was muddy and wet.

Oewellian responds, “Could you elaborate on that story, Wyaar?”

Beri gives full details of the time that Gargul killed him for questioning the God including the resulting dimple that was created when the giant eye of Gargul crushed the druid. He explains that it aches when in the presence of the god of life and death and that that is the reason he too worships Ma’ab and not Gargul.
Oewellian says, “Well that is certainly a one of a kind mark. Not everyone can say I was killed by a God and brought back to tell about it. I’d understand if you didn’t want that part entering the record.”

Bosk explains how the group first formed by stopping the murder of what appeared to be a young human boy running through a local road where mercenaries gathered. He explains that the boy turned out to be a handling thief but a local merchant was impressed with how they hired the situation and they were given a job. He also explains that they became known as the Iron Adventurers when they defeated a group known as the Iron Band and a former member of the Iron Adventurers, a minotaur named Maikill was adamant they had Iron in their name because it was strong and nothing could dissuade the Taur from the notion so it just stuck. He defers to the others to tell how they joined.

Oewellian notices how some of the members appear to be missing and says, “Are the others not coming? I’ve heard interesting things concerning Garret and I’d like to converse with him more if possible.”

He says, “If they are coming while we wait perhaps in addition to elaborating on some of your anecdotes that were brought up could you tell the Herald about your most difficult adventure and your most rewarding one?”

Tink returns from her discussions with Auslander. The poor man had obviously had a little too much to drink. Robert - Auslander's notary - is who Tink had recommended. Perhaps Auslander had a different Robert in mind?

Oewellian has asked some interesting questions.

"I'm not exactly sure what it is I can provide that hasn't already been said.

There was one fight that I was quite proud of. We were fighting some colossal inter-dimensional monstrosity that was attacking the Hooks of the city. Garret managed to deliver the fatal blow but since it was in the air at the time it would make a huge crater when it hit the ground, potentially causing many injuries. I was able to get to it in time, slow it's fall, and ride it's corpse to the ground and assuming the landing pose. It would likely have been more impressive if anyone could have seen it at the time. Unfortunately I was invisible for the whole thing"

Garret stumbles into the room looking quite bleary eyed and with hair sticking out in all directions. He looks like he has just been sleeping, and he has. He wanders through the main room where people are talking without really opening his eyes and stumbles into the kitchen. He crashes around a bit as he seeks out some bits of bread and leftover meat.

He makes his way back into the main room, munching on the stale bread. He looks around and perks up a bit when he realizes that they're telling stories. "Hey, have you heard about the time I rode on a dragon? Actually, it was more than once, and I'm not talking about a nice, sort-of tame dragon like Bosk over there..."

Restlin hand waves the bath issue away. "It's a personal grievance, not one for posterity. As for Sesha and I, I think she was still feeling me out. Our relationship took some persistence, but we clicked right away.

"That whole adventure was a big deal to Sesha, seeing how it ended up culminating in her current title. I'll let her elaborate if she'd like it on the record.

"If you want to know about the most dangerous adventure I think we've faced, that was a time before most of us were here. I think just Zane, Bosk, and Beri are the only ones besides myself that were around for it. There was an illithid demigod that had..." He looks to Bosk. "Well, it had caused some past trauma with us. I'll leave it at that unless Bosk wants to elaborate. That's not my story to tell.

"Anyway, we were stuck in a pit with this gargantuan, tentacled beast. That pit was crazy deep, too. Took us over an hour to walk down into it. Looking back, the fight didn't last too long. They rarely do. It was able to knock several of us out, though. We'd get everyone healed up just long enough to press the attack before the beast would put us down again. I got the bright idea to fly far above it's head and drop an anchor feather token on it. It was a stupid idea, but that must have been a lucky token because it turned into the biggest anchor I've ever seen. It crushed the illithid right before Zane ripped its heart out.

"Another minute and we would have been out of healing magic. We'd just be 8 more souls consumed by it. I've fought liches, ancient dragons, intelligent asteroids...none of it scarier than that demigod."

Zane thinks back....
"I first met the Original group when I was on my way to Hook City from The Monastery. That's where I was raised, a temple of sorts, but not to any God, a Temple to personal perfection. They taught me from when I was found floating at sea by a fisherman who dropped me off there. I still have some trouble keeping what they call balance, but I'm happy with what I've achieved.
Well anyways, i was almost to the edge of Mudtown when I fell into a hole that opened up beneath me. When I stopped sliding down the slick tunnel, I was in a tomb like place with a group of strangers, by the time we fought our way out, I had been accepted as a part of the Iron Adventurers. After that we were tasked with clearing out some ratty old Tower.
As to what Restlin said about the pit, I will also add, I think was a HUGE spider creature before we got very far in."

Beri shrugs his shoulders.
You can tell that story, being killed by Gargul is a big part of my story. Besides, if Gargul wanted it kept private he wouldn't have left his mark square in the middle of my head. However, that's also the reason I'd be careful to respect the gods in the article, next time he may be in the mood to bring someone back afterward.

Sesha smiles a little, reminiscing.

"It took a lot for me to decide that even pursing an adult relationship was okay. I was attracted to the mage priest, but not fully in love. Not yet. I don't even know when that happened."

She thinks a moment.

"I'm still incredibly young for my kind. To put it in perspective, it would be something like Restlin here dating a fifteen year old human in his twenties. Also, I aged quite a bit... to this point.. in a matter of hours. When the Chaos Bell pulled my party through it, I was still very much a child. Even by human terms, I was twelve."

She grins.

"Thats what the hard part was. Figuring out my age, surrounded by short lived noble races. I've figured out a lot in the few years since, but if Hook had interspecial dating laws, Restlin here might have been picked up by the authorities."

Bosk laughs at the mention of the Illithid. I remember that. The cursed thing was not even worthy a death by my blade. I pulled a rock hard fruitcake out of my bag and beat it with that before Restlin crushed it...I also had an old bet with someone who dared me to use it as a weapon. I figured beating a demi-god with it would make a better story than your run of the mill criminal.

As far as respecting the gods, everyone must remember that they are just like us in that they have friends and enemies as well. Should you overthrow a god they have thousands of followers and other gods who might choose to exact their revenge. You might also create an opening for an even more strict power to rise up in the ranks. As a general rule it is better to let the gods handle the affairs of gods.

When it comes to our other adventurers, the newer members had their own group before the gods brought us together. They might not have been Iron Adventurer's at that time, but their stories are are still an important part of our formation.

DM Hugh - The interview 
Monday December 16th, 2019 1:28:27 AM
Tink brings up a fight they had with an interdimensional monstrosity attacking the Hooks where although Garret delivered the final blow, Tink was able to get to it, slow its fall and assume the landing pose all while being invisible.

Oewellian asks Tink, “Do you find being invisible the most useful status to have on a battlefield?”

Garret crashes into the room chewing on some stale bread looking like he just rolled out of bread. He asks Oewellian if the elf had heard about the times he road dragons and not the nice kind like Zane. Oewellian looks at the halfling, sniffs, puts on a polite mask and says “Well, there were some dry accounts in the historical texts from the archives, but I’d love to hear the tales from you in your own words.”

Restlin waves away the bath question, explains a little bit about his relationship with Sesha eluding to the adventure that culminated in her title being hers to elaborate on and then tells about the time they fought an Illithid demigod. He tells about how it would knock some of them out, they’d heal then it would wound them again before Restlin dropped an anchor feather token on its head and crushed it.
Oewellian says, “A feather token you say? Fascinating and what an unorthodox strategy. Did you use any other unusual means to prevail in other battles?”


Zane explains that he met the original group when he was on his way to Hook City from the monastery. He explains he fell down a hole and when he stopped sliding he was in a tomb with a group of adventurers and when he exited he was part of the Iron Adventurers. He also mentions the huge spider on the way in to the illithid battle.

Oewellian says to Zane, “Just how big was this spider? Have you encountered larger spiders since?”

Wyaar brings up the time Restlin tried slaying a dragon with a shaving razor but it turned out to be a good dragon.

Oewellian says to Wyaar, “could you elaborate more on that story?”

Beri gives Oewellian permission to leave the Gargul story in there.
Sesha explains it took a while for her to decide that persuing a relationship was ok. She doesn’t know when she fell in love with him. She also explains that she is young for her kind and that she aged quite a bit in a short time when interacting with the chaos bell and that it took her awhile to figure out her age surrounded by the short lived races.

Oewellian looks at Sesha with an odd expression on his face, he finally says, “Oh cousin I’m so sorry for you. I know that there exists a schism between my people and yours but to grow up as you did must have been difficult.”

He then says, “Do you want me to strike that scandalous bit about your age and Restlin from the record? Given this city it is possible in some corner somewhere there is some forgotten interspecies dating law and probably better not to chance it.”

He then says, “I don’t suppose you could tell us more about the Chaos Bell?”

Bosk elaborates on the Illithid encounter explaining he used some hard fruit cake as a weapon. Encourages the respect of the Gods by explaining they have friends and enemies too and lastly reminds that the newer members had adventuring groups before they joined the Iron Dragons.

Oewellian says, “Yes, Bosk raises an excellent point. For those of you who were parts of other groups besides the Iron Dragons what were some of your more memorable adventures from your other groups and how did your former groups compare to the Iron Dragons?”

Restlin narrows his eyes in mock aggravation with Sesha. "Lady, you were twice my age and had gone through a lot more in your life than I had. If anything you were robbing my cradle."

He leaves the story of the Chaos Bell for his companions. It was more their story than his.

"Unorthodox strategies? Well, there's this little guy..." Restlin digs around in his pack until he finds what he's looking for: a small rubber pig that squeaks when you squeeze it. "I named it Waddles. The Death Dragon Cult...guess we can talk about them now...had an intelligent asteroid they'd made named Soma. This pig used to be its nerve cluster. Its brain, basically. This spell's not supposed to be permanent, but magic's weird in Jericho space.

"We were in Jericho space, by the way. Not that you'd have an easy time flying an asteroid around on the Wold proper.

"As for that dragon, it was on my luck quest." For this, Restlin slips into storytelling mode.

"I'd gotten it into my head that I was gifted with good luck, so I got turned on to worshiping Wardd. I knew I'd have to prove myself, so I decided to go on a luck quest. One of the items I picked at random to take along was a straight razor.

"We met this blue dragon. He wasn't nice, but blue dragons rarely are. We made a deal that one of us would fight him one on one. At that point in our careers, it would have killed us all. Bosk or Zane stepped up to fight him, but the dragon said that he got to choose. So, he chose me.

"I hadn't thought this whole one-on-one thing was a good deal in the first place, so this made me pretty cross. I knew I was going to die; won't bother telling you otherwise. It was the most one-sided fight I've ever been in. Decided to go out true to the luck quest, though, and attacked it with this..." He walks over to the mantle and takes a wooden case from it. He opens it to reveal an unassuming razor. "Got one good shot in that bounced off his scales before he casually sliced me open and carried me off, very dead.

"Next thing I knew, I'm in his treasure room very not dead. Then this dragon has the gall to ask for a favor: it wanted me to fix his grandma. She was a gold dragon that had been turned into a gold fish. All it took was a greater dispel magic spell. Could have saved everyone a lot of trouble if he'd just asked up front.

"I did get to ride him, though. I think that puts me as the first dragon to do so. Also gave me Shiny here." He motions to the chromatic, gleaming sword on his hip. "Used to be an umbral blade. Helped a lot with that demigod I just mentioned, but it was a real bummer. Always going on about following me into darkness, calling me master, so I fixed it. It doesn't talk much, but it's always in a good mood when it does."

"I haven't adventured with any other group, I've done a few walkabouts while they were on various adventures without me.
As to the spider's size, I seem to remember it being BIG, the body being 10-12' long and 8-9' high, then you add on 12' long legs. Let me tell you this, I made sure there were no spiders in my room after that, and it took me a couple years to get past killing every spider I saw after that.
Two years ago, that changed right around this time of year actually, I was visiting the Giggling Ghost and opened up a random gift."
Crawling out of one of Zane's pouches on his belt, comes a fuzzy spider that climbs up onto his shoulder and sits there.
'Meet Skitterz."

Later that night, long after this nosy reporter's gone, Restlin exits his room and descends. He climbs down the smooth stone steps he carved years ago, until they become rough and lead to the grotto Sesha calls home in the Iron Tower.

He'd pondered doing this at the Ghost, but quickly realized making it so public and thrusting Sesha unexpectantly into the spotlight wouldn't be her cup of tea. He announces his presence by clearing his throat and tapping on the cave wall. He calls on the rings if she's out of earshot.

"You know I dabble in jewelry as a hobby," he starts when she decides to acknowledge him. "Did you know I've spent years in every civilized destination we've gone to looking for flawless moonstones? Common ones are everywhere, and cheap. Flawless ones are very difficult to find." He produces a sandalwood box, well oiled with a golden hinge. He opens it, producing a small, platinum band with a single diamond solitaire surrounded by flawless moonstones. It's carefully designed to not snag on pockets or in pouches, and is sturdy enough to take several hits without scratching or breaking. It looks unassuming, but anyone with skill in appraisal or jewelry can tell it's worth a great deal of coin (in no small part due to it being a hand-crafted original made by everyone's favorite Iron Dragon). It also has 10 luck points stored on it.

"It took a while, and we've had a lot on our plates with saving everyone's lives. I think time may be on our side now, though." He kneels and presents the box. "So I'm hoping it's a good moment to ask if you'll do me the honor."

Bosk recalls the spider all too well. "Let's just say it was large enough to attempt to swallow a Minotaur whole."

DM Hugh - The interview 
Tuesday December 17th, 2019 3:07:34 AM
Restlin suggests it was actually Sesha that robbed his cradle before deferring the tale of the chaos bell to others. When asked about unorthodox strategies Restlin introduces Oewellian to waddles and explains it used to be the brain of a nerve cluster in a living asteroid in Jericho Space.

The mendicant then goes into more depth concerning the story of the dragon and the razor explaining that he was on a luck quest and had found the razor so when pitted against a dragon in single combat he figured he might as well test his luck. Luckily, it was all a ruse and the mendicant ended up in a treasure room where he could help the dragon by dispelling a curse that turned its gold gramma into a goldfish. The Mage Priest demonstrates he won shiny as a reward and also explains that he was actually the first Iron Dragon to ride a dragon.

Oewellian says, “Interesting. So did you folks get to go to Jericho space often in your adventures or even places stranger than Jericho space? Besides waddles wasn’t that trip where you guys picked up the Starblazer? And then later you acquired that other crystalline transport?”

Garret accuses Oewellian at not being that good of a story teller.

Oewellian looks at Garret and says, “I am a fine story teller and would direct you to the Hook City Herald back issues to see evidence of my skill. However, I’m not in story telling mode write now. I am in fact finding mode. I’m trying to make you guys look good as your Mage Priest friend Restlin asked me too. In order to make you folks look the best I’m trying to compile all sorts of interesting notes about your adventures. I am writing a noble / ignoble interest story about you all from your humble beginnings to the others who joined along the way. It will of course culminate in your saving of the Wold but I’m trying to pepper it with interesting points along the way. Now you mentioned you rode not nice dragons a couple of times. I have dry historical texts from the hall of records that talk vaguely about the times you lot have tangled with dragons but it doesn’t say on such and such date in such and such place Garret Goodbarrel wrestled a dragon or anything like that so if you want to elaborate on your dragon wrangling prowress now would be the time to do that and it can get added to the record.”
Zane explains he hadn’t adventured with other groups but he had went on walkabouts several times. He then explains that the body of the spider was 10 to 12 feet in length and 8 to 9 feet high with 12 foot long legs and that for a stint of time the Taur had made sure he got rid of all spiders in his vacinity at least until he opened up a gift of a fuzzy spider named Skitterz that rests on the his shoulder.

Beri explains that he too hadn’t been with other groups as he was with the Iron Adventurers from the beginning.

Oewellian says to Beri, “As a druid who has been adventuring with the Iron Dragons from the beginning was it especially hard to be based in this urban setting? I mean you folks obviously built this tower castle to suit your tastes as part of your dragon ceremony but before that when you were coming up and making your way in the world was it hard to feel that connection to nature in a magical city?”

Bosk elaborates the spider was large enough to swallow a taur whole.

Oewellian checks his notes and says, “Oh yes magical city; Do you have any memories or stories from your run-ins with the various magics, teucri artificacts, etc. this city happens to be home to? What of your run-in with the chit machine?”


========================================================================
Later that night, Restlin proposes to Sesha using a ring he crafted with a platinum band, a single diamond, several flawless moonstones and 10 luck points.

Garret keeps squinting at the fellow, not sure if he believes him or not...but then he gets excited and tells all about the time he jumped on a the dragon and made it fly where he wanted it to fly...

Sesha - 305/320. AC 37 
Tuesday December 17th, 2019 11:51:39 AM

Sesha watches Restlin quiety for a moment, then takes the moonstone ring from the box. She holds it up, admiring it. Then she looks down, and admires him.

Their whole relationship he had been perfect. When she needed space, he respected it. When she needed attention, he gave it. When no one else understood her impetuousness and anger, he not only understood it, but accepted it as a part of who she was.

She takes a knee, across from him, and slips the ring onto her finger. She places her hands in his, locking her slender fingers through his.

"I accept your token, Mage Priest, and will do you this honor. In return you have my heart, for as long as yours beats, and likely much much longer."

She smiles and stands, then retrieves a small cloth wrapped packet from under the pillows in her bedroll. She returns and offers it to him, unwrapped.

"It's a much more macabre trinket than yours, my husband, but I do wish you would treasure it. It quite literally nearly cost me my life."

The ring is quite clearly carved from bone, jointed in some areas, carved with dancing runes scrawled in undercommon. There is a small ruby set in what appears to be the divot of a knuckle.

"Red is the most ostentatious color I can think of, so it fits you Restlin. The ring itself.. well.", she hesitates for a bit, not entirely sure of her gift. "There was an old spell bloodwitches used to know, forgotten to us now. We could remove our own little finger, preserve it magically, and it served as a phylactery of sorts. Now that the old magic is gone and things are different, it serves no real purpose, but I still consider it important. It symbolizes my life, in a tiny, delicate way. So there's no one else whom should hold it, but you now."

She blushes a little, and looks up at the door. Closed, and secure.

"We've got some time, husband to the Matron of House Avon. And heirs don't produce themselves..."

Zane, the next morning, "I'll meet you all at the Ghost, I'm taking Starblazer and making a few stops, I might be late."
He packs a duffel and walks out on the "sternwalk" at his rooms level, where the ship and Dock also moors himself most of the time.
As he goes out, "Hey Dock, I'm headed out for a while, got a few stops to make, if you need me, just let the Tribe Leader know, she knows how to get a hold of me. Just becareful, oh, and I like that change at the prow, I think it makes you look more you." Zane says as he walks by to Starblazer.
"All ship shape Kip?, we got places to go." Zane yells as he approaches around the tower.
He tosses his duffel aboard and 3 of the Kobolds quickly grab it and start trying to drag it to his cabin.
"We're headed to The Brothers of the lotus and the Way of the Dragon, it's east along the shore about 40 miles or so." Zane says as Kip gives him one of those, WHERE? looks.

Actually, I started life as a rogue so that wasn't an issue. But one day I looked around and realized that the old ways were no longer a part of this Wold. There just wasn't a way to keep doing what I had been doing. When it was brought to my attention that my old job role just wasn't possible anymore I figured as long as I was going to retraining myself for a new role I'd go all the way and try my hand at being a druid.

Beri's ears perk up at the mention of certain artifacts.
Teucri artifacts... the chit machine... I am sure that any stories involving such things would have resulted in a stern warning from that they are never to be spoken of and would need a signed statement from Auslander to discuss... but I'm guessing anyone asking such pointed questions has already permission. Is that correct?

"Dock? More Zane's thing. Not trying to minimize Dock, mind you. It's a remarkable device and was instrumental in our last mission. Zane really took a shining to it, though.

"As far as weird spaces, the weirdest had to be that fight with Korrine. Physics didn't behave itself during that battle. We basically only existed in four physical spaces at any given moment, but that space was large enough for an ancient umbral dragon. It's hard to explain. Two ants could stand at opposite corners of what should have been a 50' long platform and been able to smack each other. There are probably arcanists who could spend their careers experimenting with that space, but we made sure it wasn't accessible anymore. It was for the best."

***

Restlin briefly considers the fact that Sesha, very literally, has him wrapped around her little finger. He chuckles to himself and admits that it's more or less accurate in a metaphorical way too. He puts the thought aside as the lights dim and the music swells.

DM Hugh - The interview 
Wednesday December 18th, 2019 4:31:08 AM
Garret keeps squinting at the elf journo not sure if he believes him before finally relenting and telling about the time he made the dragon go where he wanted it to go.

Beri explains to Oewellian that he started out as a rogue and later converted to Druidaism. The man’s ear perks up at mentions of the Chit machine and Teucri artifacts and the Druid brings up that discussion of that topic generally come with stern warnings and a written order from Auslander in order to even discuss.

Oewellian reaches into his satchel and takes out an envelope stamped with Auslander’s seal. He hands it over to Beri and says, “Go ahead. Open it. You will find I have been granted permission to discuss your run-ins with the Teucri artifacts. Things have been relatively quiet here for a while, life has settled down with the end of the chit machine and the Sargrass crisis kind of put things into perspective a little. The authorities are starting to think that maybe secrets aren’t all that they are cracked up to be and it might be time for transparency in some things.”

Restlin explains that Dock is more of Zane’s thing and that while not trying to downplay the remarkable nature of the construct that Zane really took a shine to it.

Restlin then explains that the battle with Korrine was probably the oddest space they had ever been in, going so far to describe it as best he could.

Tink sits back quietly while the group reminesces.

Oewellian says, “Well if you can answer my question about the Teucri artifacts and Chit Machine I will not take up more of your time. You folks have been more than helpful and I think I can write a piece that will be worthy of your legacy.”

(OOC: assuming someone will answer the question tomorrow and we will conclude the interview; besides Zane taking off for visiting the monastery and Sesha and Restlin making it official with an exchange of rings anyone else have any unfinished business to attend in game?)



========================================================================
Sesha accepts Restlin’s token and offers one of her own. Her’s is made of bone, jointed in areas with undercommon scrawled in places. It has a single large ruby set into it. She explains that it is the remnant of a spell that no longer functions when things changed for bloodwitches and that for her it symbolizes her life

The next morning Zane tells the others he will meet them at the ghost. He explains to Dock that if Zane is needed the ship should let the Tribe Leader know. He then stows his duffel and tells Kip to set course for The Brothers of the lotus and the Way of the Dragon

Kip says, “Aye!”

While Garret wraps up his story, he wanders into the kitchen, still talking about flying on a dragon, and returns with meat on a stick. He offers a half-eaten one to Oewellian.

Later, as the others are considering and doing... things... Garret wanders back outside to look for his favorite meat on a stick vendor. He looks up at the stars and wonders if his path should take him back to a place oh so far away and if that statue still stands of him and the crazy group of adventurers...

Restlin agrees that it's time to retire for the night. The Ghost awaits. He bids the reporter farewell and heads out with his friends.

As he closes the tower door behind him, he wonders just how many forests have been felled keeping Garret supplied with sticks.

As the Starblazer begins to settle to the ground just outside of The Temple of the Lotus and the Way of the Dragon temple, Zane leaps from the rail and spreads his wings, landing lightly, for such a weighty 'Taur. At least he doesn't break any of the paving stones.
As he approaches the Temple's head monk, Zane calls upon his training in his youth, and greets him in as a respectful manner as he knows how. As he givers his Bow the ancient Monk, raps him between the horns with his cane.
As Zane reaches up and runs his head, the old man says, "I expected you months ago, where you been you ungrateful whelp?" This said by a hunched over bald old man.
Zane replies, "I've been a bit busy the couple years, first In Jericko Space, then with my new Tribe, I guess. I already informed the guards they're with me. Then we had that darned Red Grass stuff and an Escaping God to deal with. But yes, I meant to be back sooner...."
One of the monk trainees brings in tea and performs a ceremony, one Zane knew, but could rarely pull off without making a mistake. At one point Zane catches one of the cups as it was falling and puts it back where it should have been, and nods for the youngster to continue. The Old man almost smiles...
Afterwards the youth leaves the room, slightly embarrassed. "There are things which must be taken care of, they are your responsibility as will others once I continue my journey. I have a list."
Leaving things unsaid, he produces a scroll, on with is written a lot of tasks.
Zane bows and heads out, a few hours later the tasks are done and The Starblazer is one crew member shorter.
"Kip, set sail for the Float, The Iron Dragons, at least those that go in person, may need a quick get away."
Zane stays behind at the Temple because he knows there's more at hand, not the least of which is getting the Kobold Youth settled in and the Brothers used to the Idea that a Kobold is not target practice....

Well, the chit machine is a sad story. You see, there was an attempt to steal it and she was "damaged beyond sanity" . In the end we were able to talk her down and she realized she needed to do something she referred to as "rebooting" and to await repairs. We haven't heard the latest news, clearly we still don't have chits in circulation, but hopefully enough repairs were made that the poor thing's sanity has returned. Being the strictly confidential nature of the chit machine, news hasn't even reached those of us that were helping that night. If Auslander filled you in on that for your article, an udpate on her sanity's recovery would be appreciated.

OOC: Tink has no unfinished business left. As long as Agatha doesn't get a position of power, she can retire in relative peace

DM Hugh - The interview 
Thursday December 19th, 2019 10:03:47 AM
Sesha heads out for the Giggling ghost.

Garret wonders into the kitchen and returns with meat on a stick. He offers a half eaten one to Oewellian.

Oewellian looks at the halfling’s offering and says,”No thank you, I ate before I came.”

Later on Garret wanders over to his favorite meat vendor thinking about the statue that captured his group of adventurers

Restlin agrees it is time to retire for the night and head for the Ghost.

Beri explains the story of the chit machine and that she was the victim of a robbery attempt and this damaged her sanity beyond repair. She said she had to do something called rebooting while awaiting repairs. The druid asks for an update on the Chit machine’s recovery if the elvish reporter was privy to more information.

Oewellian says, “I’ll do what I can”

He then says, “I bid you all good evening. Hopefully I will have something to share with you all soon.”

====================================================

Zane meets with the head monk of the temple he studied at. The old master asks the Taur why it took him so long to return. Zane fills the monk in on his most recent adventures.

He then sees to the list of tasks the old master has set for him before ordering Kip to take Starblazer to the Float.

Kip says, “Aye, sir”

Zane stays behind to see to the settling in of the Kobold youth.

====================================================

Meanwhile back at the Tower Torm and Auslander show up to visit.

Auslander says, “I hope the interview with Oewellian went well.”
Torm says, “HOW...Is...THE…...RETIRING...LIFE….SUITING...YOU...ALL?”

Restlin catches Auslander on the way out. He's never been close to Torm, though he respects the turtle, but Auslander's been a steady ally for years.

"Auslander, my favorite bureaucrat. Interview went fine, but my throat's all dried out from answering so many questions. Come to the Ghost with us. Drinks are on me."

Beri turns to Master Torm
I don't think retirement has really set in yet, but I've been planning to start work on my own Druid grove once things settle down. I'm also hoping I can do something about that barren muddy waste outside of Hook City, plant some grasses with a good root network that can be a foundation for other plants and wildlife to return to it.

He then addresses Auslander.
Good afternoon, the interview went pretty well. He did bring up an interesting question though, has any progress been made with the chit machine? Is here sanity starting to return? Or is she still shut down?

Zane goes about re-acquainting himself with the Temple and it's workings.... He introduces the Kobold to the other initiates and when asked what name he wanted to go by, the Kobold said "Maak". Zane handed him over to those in charge of that part of the place, and is glad it's not him.
The enthusiastic kobold might make it, but each must discover their own path.
As he is headed back to the Old Man's rooms, he's dumb struck....
A mural, or rather A MURAL in lettering 3 times the size. In the middle is a picture of Zane, starting near the bottom left and going up, over and down the other side is Zane's story, at the bottom right is a spot left unpainted as if his future has yet to be decided.... Next to the mural is a door over which is written Beyond is The Way of the Dragon and he can see there are full contact combat areas, something the Temple never had before, it had been all defensive training when he was a young boy here.
He rejoins the Old Man and they chat well into the night. Afterwards Zane retires to a guest room that's been set up for him and as he falls asleep, he enters the Giggling Ghost.....

Bosk laughs. It is not retirement so much as a changing of roles and giving the next generation their turn in the lime light.

Garret says, “oh...Torm”
Restlin catches Auslander on the way out and invites the stalwart ally to the Ghost.

Auslander says to Restlin, “If you insist.”

Torm says, “CAN…………..I……………….COME………..TOO?”

Beri informs Torm that they haven’t really had much time for retirement to set in though the man is hoping to start his own Druid Grove and hopefully do something about the nearby wastes. He then asks Auslander about the Chit machine.

Auslander says to Beri, “She’s still rebooting. Honestly I’m not sure how long it will take for that process to end or when we can expect a technician to appear. We found some leads in the ancient texts about some things called ‘autorecovery’ and ‘boot disk.’ Autorecovery sounds like what we want but why anyone would want disk shaped boots and what they have to do with the Chit Machine is beyond me. Those Teucri were a strange people”

Torm says, “THE…………….CHIT…..MACHINE….IS….UNNATURAL….STILL…...THOUGH….LOSING….ONE’s…..SANITY…...IS…...TOUGH”

Bosk laughs at Torm’s question telling the turtle it isn’t retirement so much as giving the next generation their turn in the limelight.

==================================================
Meanwhile...at the monastery Zane sees that Maak the Kobold gets where he needs to be. He notices a new tapestry that is partially unfinished and partially of him before eventually settling down for sleep and entering the ghost.

OOC:

So, hey, is that it? Will this board be archived, or will the next thing start in here? And when was that? I should do something towards that...

Zane rolls over and continues to Snore.....

Sesha does stop and give a wistful look towards the tower. She hadn't known it yet, but there won't be much more time spent here. At least not for her.

There was a family to raise, house to run, and a goddess to revive. Elves were long lived, but there was a lot to do.

Bosk gives everyone a final wave. We should be headed to the Giggling Ghost for our retirement party, but the can always reach us at our tower. Thanks to the portal Hook City provided us, I will be here for the Dragon Consortium or working at my vineyard in the Taur Isle. It has been a blessing serving this city, and we look forward to guiding the next generation of Adventures.
