[I guess put Pru at around D-3? With the others clustered around? The old man was on the "skinny" side of the wall when we left, so that's the side Pru would aim for.]
Nikolai? Pru sends over the link. Are you okay? Do you need help?
She readies an action to counterspell, which won't help Michael, but might help the next person.

Nikolai runs into the barrier, an unexpected turn of events, however he figures there will be some way to deal with it.
Hearing Pru through the mental link, he answers, "I'm fine, just a bump on my head. There's a force barrier keeping me out. Don't stop just because of me, but if you get the chance, and still pop me in, I'd appreciate it."
OOC: BTW, Nikolai already has one Staff of Healing, so the other should go to someone else that can use it.

Pru looks around and checks on Michael while preparing to counterspell an action the old man takes. Sigvar appears and starts slashing at the creature. He can tell his sword hits, but it doesn’t quite do as much damage as he thought it should (DR bludgeoning). He is quite sure, at this point, that the man is undead. Anna continues napping as Nikolai speaks over the bond that he’s a little stuck, but okay. Michael catches his breath and yells at the man. Pompous steps back from the crowd and lets a group of arrows fly. A number of them strike the man, on fire, but they don’t seem to bother him! The man starts muttering a few words to himself…
OOC: Thank you for the fort save, Michael, that was a save or die, no halfsies, so I’m glad you made it!
Pru has a prepared action to counterspell. The old man is casting a spell (on the defensive so no AOO). Spellcraft DC 24 to identify the spell (free action). If successful, Pru can attempt to cast dispel magic (because I’m reasonably sure she does not have the spell prepared). The dispel is cast, then a dispel check is needed: d20+your caster level (15?). That needs to beat the secret number I’m thinking of… But I’ve got to pause the action because the activity will be very different depending on whether this dispel succeeds…
Prudence Gundle d20+24=34 ; d20+15=34 ; Friday February 28th, 2020 3:31:40 PM
Pru is able to identify the spell [Spellcraft 30].
She doesn't prepare spells, so if the spell is on her list, she can cast it.
If it isn't on her list, she casts Dispel Magic and her dispel check is 34.
An Old Man? Friday February 28th, 2020 3:54:44 PM
The man says a few words, Pru sees what he is doing, and she casts a spell. Her spell crashes into his, and they dissipate into nothingness. He glares at Pru.
OOC: Quite the nice roll there! The spell he was casting was Time Stop. The dispel was enough to break it, so everyone continue along!

[From the PRD: "If you take your readied action in the next round, before your regular turn comes up, your initiative count rises to that new point in the order of battle, and you do not get your regular action that round." We don't use initiative, of course, but the way I read that, Pru's turn is over, and she doesn't get another turn until after the bad guy goes again. So, no rolling dispel checks for me.]
Seeing that his arrows have had little to no effect. Pompous pauses and waits to see what the others do.

Sigvar continues his attacks on the old man, pausing briefly to wake Anna. Sigvar puts all he has into trying to kill the undead. Despite all his attempts, only one attack appears to reach through his robes and chop into him (AC 35). Michael moves forward and tries to grab onto the man. The man squirms and moves, and Michael cannot seem to get a grip on him. Pompous pauses and wonders how he can aid the others in the battle. Anna is finally awakened by Sigvar’s stab of the horns. Nikolai prepares to join the battle, but can’t get past the barrier on his own. Trayvin casts a spell to help defend the group.
The old man bellows, “ENOUGH!” Michael and Sigvar see his face twist and turn. The black of his eyes expands to fill his entire eye socket, blacking out his eyes entirely. The skin on his face tightens and twists, pulling unnaturally taught across his face. He raises his hands and magical power flows out from his body. Four massive balls of fire appear from the man’s fingertips. They fly through the air at Pru, Sigvar, and Michael. They hit Pru and Sigvar and they explode in a massive fireball that encompasses most of the room! Papers, books, and shelves light on fire. Heat absolutely fills the space. A fraction of a second later, a massive yellowish-green cloud appears, obscuring all sight in the corner of the room, filling the room with poisonous gas.
OOC: Michael, Will save, DC 25 or fall asleep. Trayvin’s spell can reach Pru, Sigvar, Michael, Anna, and Pompous. Nikolai is too far away. (Spell penetration rolls made to overcome the SR). Old man spells cast on defensive, so no AOO. Pru: Hit by ball of fire. 12 points bludgeoning damage (no save). -4 penalty to fire save (below). Michael: Missed by ball of fire, but ball explodes next to you. Sigvar: Hit by two balls of fire. 24 points bludgeoning damage (no save). -4 penalty to fire save (below). Fiery explosions: Due to the locations of the explosions, Pru, Trayvin, Sigvar, Michael, and Anna need to make four saves (Michael if asleep, no saves). Pompous will miss one, but will still have to make 3 separate saves. The saves are reflex, DC 30. Damages are: 18, 28, 23, and 17. Successful save means half damage. If you have fire resistance, the spell specifies that you add up all damage first, then apply resistance. Michael, Sigvar, Anna: Fort save, DC 25. Failure means you take 3 points con damage. Success you take 1 point. (Poison) Cloud: obscures all sight beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (20% miss chance). Creatures further away have total concealment (50% miss chance, cannot see targets).
Constitution Damage: Damage to your Constitution score causes you to take penalties on your Fortitude saving throws. In addition, multiply your total Hit Dice by this penalty and subtract that amount from your current and total hit points. Lost hit points are restored when the damage to your Constitution is healed. A character with a Constitution score of 0 is dead.

Pru takes the bludgeoning damage, then enough fire damage to affect even her.
"Jerk," she mutters.

Trayvin's heavy armor is too bulky to avoid the multiple fiery blasts. At least his magic blocks some of the damage. So much for not wrecking the place, I guess he isn't too concerned about that after all.

OOC: You know, I hate when I have to delay things and make combats take a bit longer than one round each day, but with these higher level battles, it seems to be the case more often than not. I hope those who aren’t as directly affected aren’t too put off by the slowness of the battle – I usually end up spending quite some time looking up many rules to ensure we’re doing everything correctly!
For this move: Sigvar has stepped forward, presumably to avoid the 50% miss chance. However, that puts him in the range of the sleep affect: Sigvar needs a will save, DC 25, or he will fall asleep before he can make those attack actions. If that save is made, for each attack there is still a 20% miss chance because of the extensive thick fog. So if you can please add those rolls, I can tell what’s going to happen next!
As a note for Michael, yes, this particular spell description is specific that any time a creature enters the area, even if they have previously saved, they have to save again. As I read more about the conditions, it appears that in the sleep condition, Michael is helpless, and that means he has no dex bonus to the saves and has an effective dex of 0. I think that means instead of a +8 for his reflex saves, he actually receives a -5, effectively -13 overall to his reflex save. And on top of that, the description of evasion says it does not work if the rogue is helpless. I think that means he actually fails all the saves and takes 100% of the damage: 86 points.

"The fight's not going well," Pru tells Nikolai. "Nobody can get close to this guy, nobody can hit him, and he's doing a lot of damage. We need you." Feeling bold, she kisses his cheek. "Let's get back there."
She takes his hand, ready to Dimension Door back to the fight.

OOC Sadly, that is what I think it means for Michael too. OK Will save 15 failed, I am sleeping too, which means that the % rolls aren't needed.but here they are anyway high is good 27%, 23%, 42%,48% all would have hit. Nighty night guys, resting alsdo cancels the smie so even woken up I can do about 5-10 damage / hit we are probably done.

OOC: not sure where Pru will put me but Nikolai has been watching from the door. Wherever he gets put, he should be able to make his Move to the smoky corner then try to grapple the old man. As grappling puts me in the same square as the old man, I don't know if the 20% miss chance counts.

An Old Man? Thursday March 5th, 2020 2:17:47 PM
OOC: Indeed, shifting back the round to prep for Sigvar’s sleep save:
The results of the explosion start to fade, but there are still bits of furniture on fire and scraps on the ground still burning. The scent of burnt wood and paper fills the air. Pru quickly moves and dimension doors back to the stairs to get Nikolai. Nikolai says he is ready to join the fray. Of course, he can’t see much in the room because he hasn’t arrived and the massive cloud of fog is still there.
Sigvar steps up into the fog, trying to finish off the old man. However, as he does so, a spell affects him and he stops, falling asleep. Trayvin launches an attack, but the searing light seems to fall just short and disappears before it strikes him! Anna manticore uses iron body and starts to fly up. The ceiling here is maybe 15 feet high, so she can’t get too high. Michael steps up and falls asleep, but the pain of the fiery explosions wakes him back up. Pompous tries to avoid the flames and starts casting a spell to summon some help.
The old man moves around in the fog and Michael feels a bony hand touch him.
OOC: Sorry, there was no time stop, just an adjustment to check saving throws.

Sigvar falls asleep and Trayvin steps up to try and wake him. He succeeds as the old man reaches a bony hand out to touch Sigvar. Anna tries to find the man in the cloud, but using her scent ability only makes it more difficult as the noxious gasses smell quite bad. She fires off a tail spike, but does not hit him. Pru casts dimension door and brings her and Nikolai back into the room (where?) Pompous finishes casting his spell and the elemental appaears. It heads into the fog, causing all sorts of twisting and swirling winds and greenish fog spinning in all directions.
OOC: Sleep did check the SR and beat it, sorry. The fog says no SR. The old man didn’t have a miss chance on the touch to Michael as it wasn’t an attack, it was literally just touching him…and Michael is helpless.

An Old Man? d4=1 ; Monday March 9th, 2020 4:42:21 PM
Pru appears with Nikolai right in the middle of the poisonous cloud! At least you think that’s where they are, it is very hard to see any distance at all in the twisting, turning vapors and poison. Pru tries to get rid of the green cloud, but her spell just doesn’t seem like it’s powerful enough. Sigvar spins and turns and attacks where he thinks the old man is. He feels like his sword strikes true for some damage, but in the swirling fog, he just can’t be completely sure, though he feels his holy power destroying evil! Anna waves her mighty wings and the clouds of gas spin and twist even more! The smoke hits the walls, tables, and everything around. It does not appear to have anywhere to go, as there’s no openings to the outside world, so there’s no way for fresh air to enter the room (even the stairs have a wall of force over them). Pompous yells at his whirlwind to find and attack the wizard. It spins towards the corner and the fog continues to move around. It is chaos in the corner and with the gas.
OOC: Pru, Sigvar, Michael, and Nikolai: Fort Save DC 25 or 1 con damage, failure: 1 con damage. So 1 con damage. Michael (if not paralyzed): Will save DC 25 or fall asleep. (Previous rounds: Michael: Fort save DC 25 or 2 con damage, success is 1 damage; Fort save DC 25 or be paralyzed; Will save DC 25 or fall asleep).
Pompous: Please make attack rolls for the elemental, just in case it does happen to find the old man.
Re: Smite evil. Yes. It would seem that it would last through the sleep.
Re: Touch attack. After reading and re-reading a lot of rules and FAQs, I think maybe he does need to make an attack roll for that one. In the first case, the attack roll would have been vs AC 2 and since the two were occupying the same square (during a grapple attempt), I don’t think the fog would have obscured the vision. In the second case it would have been AC 3 (I’m reading a -9 to AC for helpless characters, plus an additional subtraction of whatever the dex bonus is because a character has a dex of 0 when helpless).
Cloud: obscures all sight beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (20% miss chance). Creatures further away have total concealment (50% miss chance, cannot see targets). With the elemental spinning in the fog, those numbers will increase to 35% miss chance and 75% miss chances.
Constitution Damage: Damage to your Constitution score causes you to take penalties on your Fortitude saving throws. In addition, multiply your total Hit Dice by this penalty and subtract that amount from your current and total hit points. Lost hit points are restored when the damage to your Constitution is healed. A character with a Constitution score of 0 is dead.

[I assume Pru's 31 Arcana was enough to identify the spell. Is it a Cloudkill?]
Pru takes a point of Constitution damage. She watches the vapors swirl around. "The gasses can't get out," she says between coughs. She looks around. They haven't definitely determined that this is the top floor, but it seems likely.
Pru casts Disintegrate. For this casting, she wants to "simply disintegrate as much as a 10-foot cube of nonliving matter" per the spell description. The 10-foot cube she wants is the ceiling above HI-23. I assume that a 14, while pathetic, is enough to hit the Touch AC of a ceiling. Since the ceiling is not a creature, I assume there is no miss chance. Let me know if I've assumed wrong. :)

Pru casts a spell and light appears from the sun through the hole that suddenly appears in the ceiling. Iron manticore Anna flies back slightly and starts flapping her wings to try and move the cloud out the hole. It looks as if a little is going, but the fog likes to sink, since it is heavier than air, so this is going to take a bit to complete. Trayvin casts a spell from the scroll and gives Sigvar freedom of movement. Nikolai reaches over and heals Pru. Pompous stands back and directs his elemental. Pompous cannot see any sign of the man from his distance, and the elemental flails about in the cloud without making contact with any one. The green cloud continues to swirl and twist.
OOC: Pru, Sigvar, and Nikolai: Fort Save DC 25 or 3 con damage, failure: 1 con damage. Michael is paralyzed! (8 total con dam, 86 hp damage, current hp: 41/127 minus con = 4*15=60; total = -19? Is that math correct?)
Yes, the fog cloud is indeed stinking cloud.
Thanks for the reminder on the guy touching agents!
Cloud: obscures all sight beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (20% miss chance). Creatures further away have total concealment (50% miss chance, cannot see targets). With the elemental spinning in the fog, those numbers will increase to 35% miss chance and 75% miss chances.
A paralyzed character is frozen in place and unable to move or act. A paralyzed character has effective Dexterity and Strength scores of 0 and is helpless, but can take purely mental actions.
Constitution Damage: Damage to your Constitution score causes you to take penalties on your Fortitude saving throws. In addition, multiply your total Hit Dice by this penalty and subtract that amount from your current and total hit points. Lost hit points are restored when the damage to your Constitution is healed. A character with a Constitution score of 0 is dead.

Michael adjusted hp for -8 con is 75 he has taken 86 hp 75-86= -11 with my con now 3 I'm dead, thanks for trying Sigvar.
Michael realizes that he is hitting this guy with his hoopak, but it's all just his spirit doing it. he notices his body when Sigvar lays on hands. while he is dead and can look around in the spirit world he focuses on the old man if he is a lich and does have a phylactery maybe I can see the silver chain holding his spirit to his bones. not that he can tell the others, but he's been raised before, maybe the info can be useful.
perception 25
while looking around he vents his spleen a bit both me and Sigvar mentioned that it would probably be best to just knock the whole bloody castle down on his head, let the magic-using bag of rotten guts spell his way out of that. Warrds fingers! we always use our strengths against an opponent's weaknesses, but not this time...no...we just charge in like we did that first time and somehow expect a differnt result. The cohesiviness has fallen off in this outfit....I wonder if it has anything to do with what happened in Aisildur, Michael turns pensive, Gods that was a disaster, lots of good men dead, even Nikolai. that had to change him. and Pru...it devastated her, but man she held it together when the city magistrates wanted to mess with the fist, we survived it though, and the Fist came through it, bent but unbroken. Gods I wanted to recruit those Gryphons. but! Michael swings his nonexistent hands through the head of the evil lich. there always pieces of scum like you screwing up MY PLANS Michael Yells into the dead things ear.

OOC: the Air Elemental has the Whirlwind special attack. In this form, it can lift creatures off the ground and toss them, per size rules. It does not say that the Whirlwind would dissipate any fog, but being a tornado, it should suck up the fog as it goes and trap it, 'as seen on TV'. If anything, the wind gusts inside the whirlwind should be enough to expedite the expulsion of the fog out the ceiling if the elemental is commanded to direct its wind in that direction.
Just saying.

Pru heals, then takes more Con damage.
"I don't feel so good," she says. Then she casts a spell, turns into a Large air elemental, and flies out through the hole in the roof.
OOC: her intention is to help whirlwind the gas out of the room, but that's a standard action and she already cast a spell this round. Going out through the ceiling will get her out of the cloud, which will help her not die. She'll whirlwind next round.

Pompous casts wind wall centered under the hole in the ceiling and makes it as wide as he can, funneling the gas towards or through the hole. { The wall is 2 feet thick but "While the wall must be vertical, you can shape it in any continuous path along the ground that you like. It is possible to create cylindrical or square wind walls to enclose specific points" so I'm going to try to cread a funnel leading out the hole}

An Old Man? d4=2 ; Wednesday March 11th, 2020 12:20:44 PM
Sigvar fights off the worst of the poison and reaches out to heal Michael. When he touches the body, he realizes that he is indeed too late: Michael is dead. He hovers and looks around the room detecting evil. He scans around the room, but from what he can tell, there is just evil all around the room. There are no clear concentrations of evil that he can detect. Trayvin calls out to Pompous to get his wind wall going while Anna keeps flapping her wings, trying to get the fog to move.
Michael tries to attack, but realizes that he is nothing more than a spirit at the moment. He yells and screams, but no one can hear him, or at least none of the Agents can hear him. Nikolai rushes into the fog cloud and pulls Michael’s body back, out of the cloud. Pru decides to get out and turns into an air elemental and heads out the hole in the ceiling. When she gets outside she sees nothing surprising: it is just the large flat roof of the castle. The sun is shining and the air is calm.
Pompous casts a wind wall and tries to shove the fog cloud up and out the hole. It clearly starts to work, but only in that two foot wide pathway. His elemental spins and twists, but it cannot seem to locate the old man.
OOC: Nikolai, Sigvar: Fort save, DC 25 or 2 con damage. Success: 1 con damage.
Sorry for the confusion: 3 con dam, failure 1 con means that if you fail on the saving throw you take 3 con dam, but if you succeed, you still take 1 damage. I guess I really worded that poorly!

Pru starts spinning like the whirlwind she has become. The noxious gasses start flowing out the hole in the roof. Anna blows fire into the cloud to try and destroy it. It tries to magically stay in place, but eventually the green fog heads out and into the air. Sigvar steps back as the cloud spins away. Nikolai is ready with a small bag, waiting for the old man to appear.
Trayvin reaches down and heals Michael, bringing him back to life again. Michael steps forward to try and look at the old man, but as the fog clears, there is not sign of the old man. There is a lot of still smoldering wood and bits of trash, but no old man in sight. Pompous calls out for Michael and watches as his own spinning elemental spins around, no target in sight.

Heroic adventurers don't puke on the floor, she tells herself sternly.
Still in air elemental form, she comes back into the room. Since she is Large, she hovers near the ceiling to give everybody more room. "Is he even still here?" she asks. "He could have teleported. I suppose I could just flood the whole room with damage spells, wait to see if somebody says 'ow.' But I don't want to hurt you guys."

He looks around, notices the devastation, the damage to his crew and himself. he sighs. guys, lets get out of here, we aren't in any shape to take this guy down, and truth to be told, I don't think we can do it. it's almost like some mad god created that guy just to make us eat humble pie and I for one feel pretty full of it. we need to resupply, regroup and reorganize before we do anything else. right now we are in over our heads. .

Pompous starts looking ariund for concealed or secret doors.

An Old Man? Friday March 13th, 2020 1:40:18 PM
Pru continues spinning and heads into the wrecked room, not feeling well at all. She proposes destroying the room. Trayvin calls out that he cannot see the old man even with true seeing active. Anna-Manticore isn’t sure what to do next. Michael looks around in confusion and smells pie. He feels quite defeated by the old man. Nikolai wonders where the man has gone and suggests there might be a secret door somewhere nearby. Pompous starts looking around the wrecked room for a secret door, but does not see any.
OOC: On the save for half: I have searched rules and FAQs and cannot find a clear ruling on save for half for ability scores. To avoid decimals and fractions, I had always played to round down, but with a minimum of 1. So if the ability score damage was 1, save for half, you end up with 1 no matter what. I see rules for damage saying its 1 nonlethal damage, but I don’t see how to apply that to ability score damage. I’ll ask on the rules board.

Sigvars comment catches his ear, I know what you are saying Sigvar, I felt the same way. but the guy was good, he kept us held out while he punished us with impunity, He had us playing his game, to quote David, one of the men that raised me. or as we would say in the Fist he was dictating the operational tempo , he was inside our decision loop, we were marching to his cadence. or to put it another way,,, he was leading us around like a bull by the nose. I don't like that. I much prefer that he play my game, and that cannot happen here in this place, because he holds all the cards.

"Sorry, no divination spells," Pru says. "I'm more about destruction. Do we want to try to find the lich? Or maybe the phylactery? Or do we need to rest? I think I could magic up a place to rest, with a bit of preparation."

If we hurt him enough to destroy the body, he would have to go to his phylactery. I don't know if the evil sensation would diminish if he is weakened like that or not. If it does, then maybe we can pinpoint his location by following the Evil feeling. Like, it's weaker up here and stronger down there.
I'm thinking there is a hidden basement below the first level. Let's start looking there."
When everyone is ready to head back down and all goodies are loaded up, Nikolai leads the way down, provided the force field is gone. If not, well, they can climb out the hole in the ceiling and get flown down or use ropes t climb down.
This is the first time he's been in a battle where he and his group have lost so badly. Not only was the bad guy not beaten, but he's been hurt to the point of near death and his friend Michael was killed, only to be brought back to life.. but still....
The young ranger feels shaken to his core and now the group wants to continue looking for this same creature, even though they are are exhausted and with spells depleted.
{ I'm not worthy... I'm just not the hero that the others are... oh great mentor... how did you do this? Battle after battle... death after death... how did you battle through the fear? }
An Old Man Monday March 16th, 2020 2:12:44 PM
Sigvar looks around in the sudden calm as a few small fires still burn. He wonders if the creature is gone, if it is coming back, or something else. He feels that he could kill it if he just had a chance. Thinking deep inside himself, he feels the power of Gargul still active inside him. He strongly suspects that the evil creature is still alive, but he has no idea where it could be.
Trayvin checks on Michael who is still not quite sure which way is up. He really feels like the Agents were really outmatched there and that the old man wasn’t even really trying to kill them. Perception, DC 25: Highlight to display spoiler: {If you think about it, the old man actually only attacked in response to attacks. He didn’t try and hurt anyone until he himself had been physically attacked.}
Anna starts looking around a bit as well for a secret door, but doesn’t see anything in the rubble. Nikolai wonders about trying to follow the evil and the evil presence in the entire castle. The castle still feels quite oppressive and dark, despite the large hole in the ceiling. Those detecting evil can still feel the evilness of the entire castle and area. Clearly it was centered on this level of the castle, but it also permeated the entire building. Nikolai wonders if there is a basement. He checks and the field blocking the stairs is indeed gone.
Meanwhile, Pompous sits down in an area not burned to a crisp. He is really and truly feeling the loss in this battle. He knows how close he was to dying and that Michael was killed, at least for a time. He is indeed shaken to the core.

I agree Sigvar, it is unusual. Are we going to keep looking for him, or should we focus instead on whatever this 'source of evil' might be?

The Agents continue to attempt to catch their breath: Sigvar and Trayvin offer into on the evil creature and healing to everyone. Anna wonders where the man could have gone and Pru responds that he could be anywhere with a teleport. Michael suggests that it is the castle and that they should destroy it. Pru says she has some disintegrate spells left. Looking around the castle, she realizes that her disintegrate might take out a few walls, but it will take dozens, if not a hundred of them, to disintegrate the entire castle. Nikolai searches the desk while Pompous sits in misery. When Nikolai opens a drawer, he finds four quite shiny gold and silver rings in a drawer by themselves. He suggests there might be another stairway to a basement.

Sigvar's wounds close up as much as his diminished constitution allows. When he sees the rings his mind starts to work overtime. Questions flood in as he wonders if they could be the source of the evil or maybe a tool to guide the evil along. Was the old man wearing a ring that hr can recall? Was the Orc-thing wearing a ring that he can recall? (remember other than fighting them he also helped burn the corpses.) Are the rings magical?

Nikolai is surprised at finding anything not burned up or sucked out but magical metal rings can take a pounding, so he grins.
"HoHo! Look what we have here!"
He lets everyone take a look at them and try to figure out there purpose.
"Four rings. Silver and gold. how many gold and how many silver? What if these are keys that open a secret door? Hmm...
Michael, I agree that we are depleted of our strength, but so much as to not be able to search the castle for his hiding place. If we DO find it here, then we put our heads together and decide what to do then. He can't do anything while in his phylactery.
As far as the castle itself, well, let's get rid of the evil occupant first, then see what happens. If need be, we can hire some giants to level it, or buy us a trebuchet and get some target practice."
Nikolai searches the bottom area of the stairs as best he can.

Sigvar grunts as he considers the rings. Pru steps up and checks out the rings. Indeed, they all radiate magic and she can identify two of them. Sigvar does not remember seeing any rings on the orc-things, but they were pretty nasty, so he isn’t sure that he’s notice.

Trayvin considers that if they rest, so will the lich. He thinks they should continue searching. Anna sniffs around for a scent of the old man, but in this room all she can smell is burnt wood and paper. Michael thinks that the lich would hide in a lab somewhere, and he still thinks they need to find a way to destroy the castle.

Nikolai is impressed with the rings and shows them to everyone. He heads out of the room and down the stairs to start searching in that direction. He wonders about hiring giants to destroy the place. Sigvar repeats that he can tell that the creature is not destroyed. He is quite sure that the lich has not been destroyed.

Pru checks out the remaining two rings and can tell what they are: a ring of spell storing and a ring of freedom of movement. Sigvar stays wary, knowing that the lich is still out there somewhere. Trayvin also watches with his magical sight, looking for secret passages. He does not see any. Anna heads down the stairs and keeps watch as well. Michael looks around as they descend the stairs and Nikolai isn’t sure where else to look. Pompous joins in the search.
OOC: Remember that the level below the top level of the castle was utter darkness. There are a total of four floors in the castle. There is a portion of the first floor that was blocked off by stone and last time you looked there were some animated suits of armor blocked in that place. Other than “everywhere,” are you searching anywhere specific? If you’d like to just say “everywhere,” it will likely take a day or two to search every wall, floor, and space in the castle (not including the space that’s walled off).

Michael looks at the castle as they search it, he has a bit of engineering, and thinks hard about what it would take to bring it down.
If we are going to bring this castle down, we are going to need ropes, horses, hooks sledgehammers, chisels, and timbers. it will probably take us a week to do it. less if we can get some of the townsfolk to help. but we will need to make sure the place is sterilized before we let the townsfolk near, some of the stuff we fought will go through them like poop through a sick cat. .

OOC: I did not get that the 'darkness area' was a whole floor, it seemed to read that the stairs went through a dark area and kept on going.
IC:"There does not seem to be anything at the bottom of the stairs, so lets thoroughly check out that dark floor just beneath the study. If Light spells won't cut the magical darkness, maybe some Dispel spells will."
He heads back up to the darkened floor.
An Old Man Friday March 20th, 2020 12:26:39 PM
Trayvin asks for light and Pru provides some dancing lights to help with the search. The floor of the dark floor is dusty, dirty, and dark. There are bits of cloth and scraps of wood that you guess might have been furniture many years ago there. Anna sniffs around, trying to track the lich, but on the dark floor she smells mostly the nastiness that was the horrible aberration monsters that attacked the Agents on that floor.
Michael ponders more about the engineering of the building. He realizes it really is going to take a lot of work to try and take down the castle. Nikolai suggests that perhaps some dispel magic can work on the dark floor and that’s when Michael has the insight (with that perception roll) that perhaps instead of physically taking down the castle, maybe they could find other ways to purify the evil. This might actually be a nice castle with a good view if a couple windows were placed in the right places… and now that there’s access to the roof, a nice rooftop garden might fit in place…
OOC: The dark floor was the floor just below the top floor with the lich. It can be seen in page 14 here. The pillar was the stairway to the upper level. This entire floor is covered with deeper darkness and is quite dark. There was little else on this floor when you came through: dead bodies, scraps of wood and paper trash, and the magical cloth that you found in the corner (that I think you identified).

Trayvin takes another look at the bodies on the 'dark floor' to see if he can figure out how they died, or how long ago.
The castle may prove quite useful to the local town, provided it is cleaned out first. Let's try and cleanse the evil before we worry about taking it apart.

The Agents continue looking and searching. Trayvin wonders about saving the castle for the town. Pru wonders about how to cleanse the castle of evil. Sigvar takes a ring and mentions getting rid of the evil. Anna can’t figure out where the lich has gone. Michael suggests stabbing, but of course the lich cannot be found, not even with Trayvin’s true sight. Nikolai wonders if the castle might be better suited for the use of the Agents once the lich is gone from the place. No one can see anything in the room other than what’s been pointed out at this point. The top floor is still a mess from the burning.

The Agents continue to look around the old castle and ponder their options. They have really searched all over the place for the lich, but as Pur pointed out, if the thing teleported away, it might be on the Southern Continent, for all she knows. Sigvar, however, is still quite sure that the thing is still alive somewhere, and his blood aches to destroy it.
Anna ponders getting fully healed up and where they might stay the night. Trayvin looks around the dark walls and still thinks the Agents might be able to make the place usable for someone else. He wonders if they should keep looking for the lich. Sigvar mentions that he and Trayvin can work to heal the party from the ravages of the lich. Pru mentions that she can create a place that is completely secure in extradimensional space. She needs a few items to make it appear, but Nikolai points out that Anna’s bag could probably produce those items rather quickly. Nikolai looks around the winding hall level and pays close attention to the tapestries. Appraise, DC 20: Highlight to display spoiler: {One of the tapestries has historic value and it in excellent shape, worth 10,000 gold. Two others have gold weaved into the edges of them, making them worth 5,000 gold each. If the appraise check was 25 or more, you can tell these are not magical, just normal but very valuable tapestries.} He does not see any kind of gateways or secret entrances of and kind on this level (other than the one you already found with the stairs).

It is just a matter of time before he completes his research and the evil nature takes total control.
Let's rest and get healed as much as possible. My guess is that he has a secret cave or other some sort of place where he's hidden his phylactery. We'll have to start searching outside tomorrow. Let's think of ways we can start pinpointing where that location is. We certainly can't track it. However, the place probable is guarded by more minions. We can look for it from that angle."

Sigvar insists that the lich must be destroyed… if only he could find it. Pru wonders about the capabilities of the well, but from what she might know about such things, the item itself would not be aligned, it would just be capable of being an opening. Of course, now that it’s been moved from the initial location, there’s no telling where it would open up to now; or, indeed, where it opened up to before. Trayvin wonders if the well could be a threat even now, while folded up. He suggests that perhaps the group could head back to town. Michael realizes the folly of taking on the lich at their current status. Nikolai thinks that if the creatures came from the well, that threat is removed. But he is worried about that lich. Pompous really doesn’t like being in the place that was the source of evil for so long and wants to get outside.

I will probably wait to regain my abilities until the rest of you are battle ready."

"If we're going to rest, I think we should all rest," Pru says. "Anna, if you think you can use your bag to create my focus materials, that would be great. I'll pay for them, of course."
"We could rest in the town," Pru continues, "but if the lich or any of his minions come looking for us, it could put the people in danger. I'd rather create the Mage's Mansion." She grins. "Besides, I want to try it out!"

Michael does not know for wells, but he will go along with whatever the party is moving towards. He keeps his eyes open though, it would be bad if they were to get attacked right now.

Outside Thursday March 26th, 2020 3:11:10 PM
The Agents continue their discussion about the lich. Sigvar isn’t sure if he should rest, but Pru thinks they should all rest. She asks for the components for the spell, which Anna points out that she is already holding in her hands. Nikolai suggests that Sigvar renew the smite later and wants to go outside. Pompous agrees and Michael watches carefully as the group heads towards the outside.
Once outside, they can see time has passed and it is later in the day now. The castle and the surrounding lands look the same as when they went inside. Pru steps just a little ways away from the entrance to the castle and starts working her magic. The miniature door quickly expands and the marble and spoon seem to disappear through the door. A moment later the door itself vanishes and in its place is a faint shimmering that is barely visible. The space is four feet wide and eight feet high. The space beckons to Pru, but only those she permits are able to enter it…
Prudence Gundle Thursday March 26th, 2020 4:05:22 PM
Pru casts her spell in a likely spot, then invites her companions into the extradimensional space.
The spell is called Mage's Magnificent Mansion, but Pru has very little experience with mansions. Or, for that matter, with magnificence. So her spell is more like Mage's Really Big Farmhouse. The interior is clean, homey, and altogether wholesome. There is a staff of near-transparent servants, ready to perform any task asked of them.
[The rest of this post is pure self-indulgence, and nobody needs to read it.]
Each person has their own room, with an iron bedstead sized to fit them. The beds have clean, sweet-smelling straw ticks and plump down pillows dressed in snowy white linen. Colorful quilts are piled high on the beds, and equally colorful braided rag rugs are scattered on the scrubbed wooden floor. Aside from the bed, each room has a washstand with pitcher and basin, a writing-desk, and a small shrine to the Gods of the Wold.
The windows overlook a twilight apple orchard, the apple blossoms visible as clouds of white. Muslin curtains flutter in the blossom-scented breeze. (Of course, the apple orchard isn't really there, and climbing out the window to visit it would be a really bad idea.)
The common areas consist of a kitchen, a dining area, and a sitting room. All have scrubbed wooden floors, simple but comfortable furniture, and daylight views of the apple orchard.

Safely inside the extradimensional space Anna drops all her enchantments and is no longer Iron save for those with a long duration.
Instead of being Iron she is now quite green. She adjourns to one of the private rooms and changes out her mithral full plate donning only her explorer outfit, headband and Ma'ab vestments.
She takes the full plate to the nearest servent and asks for it to give the armor a good polishing.
Anna then eschews any food and decides to pull up a seat nearest a window with sunlight so she can feel it on her plant self.

-8 con damage. heal that and my HP will take care of themselves.
To Trayvin : I would have loved to smite that sorry &^%$#@!, but I could not get a flank on him. he was smart, he kept to the corners and held us out really well. If I can't get a flank, I'm almost worse than useless in a fight..
Michael snoops around the large farmhouse, he strips out of his armor and lets one of the servants clean and mend it for him, He also gets a bath and some chow. he then puts on a fluffy cotton bathrobe and cleans his blades himself. after that's done he writes in his journal for a few hours, trying to capture the last few days. in a way, he feels more powerful than he's ever felt in his life, yet in another way, he feels more vulnerable, like now he's big enough that the big boys will notice him, where before he was so small he was below notice.
still, he welcomes the challenge, so he thinks about how they can turn the tide against this lich.
Okay guys...what's the deal with that depression sleep aura he had around him? can we do something about that? Who's the best Wrestler among us? is that you Nikolai? (mine is CMB 16 CMD 30). if you could grapple him, throw him away from a corner so Sigvar and I could double team him we could take him down quite quickly. but the sleep is a deal-breaker, that I don't know how to get around.

Con -6 Con 8 (-45hp) HPs will be back to normal once Constitution is restored.
"Thank you Pru, for this Magnificent Farmhouse. You did marvelously well," Nikolai congratulates Pru.
"It could be the lich had spells like Stoneskin and such as well. I tried to grapple him but he managed to break loose each time."
OOC: Aid Another also works on attacks so if Nikolai tries to grapple him, anyone within melee range can use Aid Another to boost the grapple attack number.
Nikolai finds his room and deposits his gear, then heads back out to the common rooms to join in strategizing.

Micheal muses I wonder if he has that item...what's it called something freedom of movement.?
" What's the chance that we could go get some more gear. Heck, maybe bring back some additional troops with us? "
Deluxe Farmhouse Friday March 27th, 2020 12:08:35 PM
Pru creates the mansion and directs everyone in the opening into the massive… barn. Oh, it’s a nice barn, but those who were expecting a luxurious mansion might be a bit surprised. Anna drops to the ground, then slides a bed in front of an open window where she can relax and soak up some sunlight. Travyin moves in, makes himself at home, thanks Pru, and tries to aid any Agents that are still injured. Many still feel very, very drained from the constitution damage. That was a very tough fight. Michael wanders around the house and relaxes while trying to recover a bit. He cleans up and ponders strategy for when the group faces the lich again. Nikolai also considers strategy and relaxes a little. Pompous moves in and wonders if they can get more troops from the citadel.
OOC: As a side note, the mansion will last 30 or so hours, so you have plenty of time.
Prudence Gundle Friday March 27th, 2020 4:06:05 PM
Pru settles into her room, and makes sure everyone else is comfortable. She makes a mental note to make Anna's room with a sunlight, rather than a twilight, view if she is ever called upon to cast the mansion again.
She goes to find Trayvin. "You had asked about injuries. I'm still...weakened by that fog stuff." [OOC: Pru has taken 4 Con damage, one of which will heal overnight.]
She joins the strategy session. "I wasn't able to take a lot of direct action," she says. "I spent a lot of time blipping people back and forth past that stupid wall. And then I had to blast a hole in the roof so we didn't all die. Or, well, so I didn't die."

Yes he probably has a ring just like the one we found. Despite my size an expert wrestler like Nikolai should be able to take me down, but with this ring on he should slide off of me like water off of oiled metal. The other stuff, Stoneskin, his natural damage reduction, none of that matters in the light of Gargul's power. A smite bestowed by Gargul will pierce any of that and allow you to freely damage him." Sigvar has taken 5 con damage. He is able to heal his own con damage after resting. Rest and rstoring of the con damage will heal his wounds.

Anna says, "When I activate my iron body Morphamancy I am immune to sleep for a little over 10 minutes. I didn't think to activate it before I approached him to fool him into thinking I was a summon because I didn't know about it. I think I might need to sleep tonight to get over that fog after all."
