OoC that's not how the staff recharge works BTW IC Sigvar starts his day casting Greater Magic Weapon on his sword as usual, only he has more power now, and so does his blade.

[There are no bunnies--or indeed any animals at all--in the meadow view. Just flowers.]
Pru is ready to go. A trip to the Catacombs may be nice eventually, but she's still getting used to the orange pearl orbiting her head.
"We should go," she says. "There's no telling what that dragon might do if we give it enough time."
[OOC: Pru is leveled up to 17.]

Trayvin wakes refreshed after resting in the mansion. He hopes today is the day they will be able to rescue the Commander.
Nikolai (JonathanT) AC 25 Tch 23 Ffted 22 HP 65/106 CMD 34/36(Grapple/Trip/Disarm) Thursday October 1st, 2020 1:10:32 AM
OOC: woa! Pru at 17th level? I thought we were just moved up to 16th. Nikolai was at 15th, was he still a level behind?
Recharging Staves: Each morning, when a spellcaster prepares spells, or regains spell slots, he can also imbue one staff with a portion of his power so long as one or more of the spells cast by the staff is on his spell list and is capable of casting at least one of the spells.
SO all I need is Cure Serious Wounds spell energy imbued into the staff to get one charge back per slot.
Do I misunderstand how it works? However it works, if you got any spell energy of that slot left before we rest, please use it to recharge the staff of healing.
IC: Before Nikolai goes to bed, he tries on the Monk Robe he picked up. He feels extraordinarily more monkish than when he takes it off. It is of some comfort that those dwarven monks weren't all that much better than he without those monk robes and those belts of giant strength.
"There's bound to be sentries, but let's see if we can get Michael up close, invisible, to sniff them out. Any other ideas on how best to tackle the cave entrance?"

She says to her fistmates, "If you guys think Eidnith is burned then I'll turn into someone who doesn't look like one of us and go in alone as a potential convert to their cult. If Pru casts telepathic bond, then I think we are ok."
Sigvar Ironhorn (David F) AC 37 (T 14, FF 35) CMD 37 HP 185 / 185 Character Sheet Thursday October 1st, 2020 10:27:59 AM
OOC Yes you do it seems. We cannot recharge it at the end of the day with 'leftover' spells. So no " If you have spells left over add a charge". The recharge needs to be deliberate and done when memorizing spells in the morning and thus sacrificing that spell slot for the day. Especially for Sigvar since he can not just turn any 3rd level spell (4th level spell for him) into a cure serious like a cleric, he actually needs to memorize the spell. Trayvin would need to recharge it with his memorized spells in the morning, not leftover spells at the end of the day. Also I believe we can each only restore one charge per day.
IC "On taking the cave we need to be a bit ruthless. No runners, no calls for help, I almost think we might want a silence spell on us as long as we can maintain it. Our strength here is that we overwhelm each group we meet quickly and not let them summon aid and draw out the fight." " My main question is do we go in primed for the dragon or do we save those defensive spells until we see if he is there. My defensive spells will last almost three hours, but is that long enough to secure the cave and find the dragon?"
OOC#2 I think I have enough gold for some last minute solutions to chinks in my defenses, do I have time to hit the catacombs still?

Yep, looking at that last bit of the paragraph, it's just 1 charge per day, and must be specifically set aside for that from the beginning of the day, or when you pray to regain your spells.
Big Bummeroo. :(
DM Warren - "Duck, Weave, Rest, Heal" Thursday October 1st, 2020 5:30:38 PM
The divine casters hash out how to properly recharge the staff with Nikolai while preparing for the day ahead.
Pru acknowledges her struggles with math. Good thing her power comes from the force of her personality rather than book learnin.
Sigvar finishes his inventory of his gear (yea, finish up your orders) and Pompous makes sure that he's familiar with his new sword.
Anna and Nikolai finalize plans to get some intel, but Michael seems extra sleepy and may need some coffee before he's ready to spy.
They've been scoping out the entrance, and have seen nobody going in or out. However they're proceeding, they just need to pull the trigger.
Prudence Gundle Thursday October 1st, 2020 5:48:11 PM
"Do we need a plan of some kind?" Pru asks. "I mean, I'm no strategist, and I usually follow the same plan. Haste all of you guys, then blast the enemy until they stop moving. But maybe we need something more advanced than that."

OOC Big Bummeroo. :( Yeah, it is possible to recharge it, and it did come in darn handy but it kinda needs to be a downtime thing. Sigvar's ticket is in at the catacombs, just waiting to be served
Trayvin AC 30/12 touch Hp 161/161(BrianZ) Thursday October 1st, 2020 8:46:34 PM Pru, seems like that is our usual plan, and then where we shine is adapting after meeting with the enemy. I think we should hold off on the dragon specific defenses until we know for sure it is there.

Michael slept as hard as he has ever slept, when he hit the hay he didn't even think to set his traps or sleep beneath the bed as is his habit. when he awakens he has been sleeping so deep he does not know where he is for a moment.
He gets out of bed, grabs some coffee and breakfast. boy that fight really took it out of me, I've not rested that hard in ages. Yeah turn me invisible and cast silence on a rock. that I can carry with me. (YAWN!) Oh my...anyway since I'm going to be silenced do we have some form of telepathy we can use so I can communicate with yall while I scout? scratch that...I'm not leading an assault, I'm looking over the territory so Nikolai and Anna can enter and know what's going on. Sorry still a bit muzzy from the sleep. can Pru teleport us in to where Nikolai and Anna are once they call for us? or are we going to have to assault to their location? .

DM Warren - "Two Acolytes are better than one." Friday October 2nd, 2020 1:50:10 PM So it sounds like we've got an Altered Anna, Hatted Nikolai, and invisible/silenced Michael, all telepathically linked to Pru. Please give me stealth, perform, bluff, perception, or whatever rolls relevant to your approach to the cave.
All others, where are you staying? The mansion will be around all day if you're staying inside, or give me stealth, perception, etc if you're observing the others.

Pru casts extended Mage Armor on herself and Nikolai.
She casts Telepathic Bond to include...wow, everybody. There's six of us, right? Pru can get herself plus five, so yeah--everybody.
She casts Invisibility on Michael.
"I have the spell slots," she says. "How about I make everybody else invisible, too? I mean, not the ones in disguise, obviously. But me and Sigvar and Pompous and Trayvin. We could follow along invisibly at a distance."

Anna says, "Being that those Dwarven monks were with the cult they obviously have Dwarves among their ranks; therefore I'm going to adopt for my disguise the form of a male dwarf with a big red bushy beard."
Anna uses her Alter Self At Will SLA to adapt the form of a dwarf gaining +2 to her Strength and Darkvisio but reducing her base speed to 20 feet. She also gains the +10 bonus polymorph adds to her disguise
Her armor adapts to her slightly smaller form and she keeps the buckler she just acquired and the bow strapped to her back.

The Agents begin their infiltration with a few furious rounds of casting from Pru. She armors up herself and Nik for the day, provides all but one a psychic link (who's left out?), and makes a certain small man invisible to the naked eye.
Sigvar has cast his enchantments for the day, ready for battle. Trayvin is ready to follow, either invisibly or not. Pompous also likes the idea of sneaking up on his enemies unseen.
Nik has his new gear ready to go, then camouflages it all beneath his hat. Anna shrinks down to dwarfy stature and tries to get used to seeing the world from this angle. She and Nikolai proceed to the cave entrance, and after a few deep breaths, step inside.
An eccentric dwarf and a elven cookware merchant look around a dark corridor, alert for any danger. The tunnel entrance is narrow, but opens up to about 10 feet wide after a dozen strides. Down the corridor they can hear some sounds. There is someone here, and they're not trying to keep quiet. The tunnel opens up about 30 feet in front of you, and there is a glow akin to some torches that may be spread around the space.

Trayvin knows he's not stealthy, so he stays back until he hears the call to enter. Luckily for Sigvar and the others, being invisible makes up for a lot of things. Any other noise is handily covered up by Anna's playing as she and Nikolai stroll confidently into the cave.
Pompous and Michael are stealthy enough to come right up with the front crew. At the sounds of feet and music, the noise from the cavern stops for a moment.
You can bet that there are only lights in here for the sake of potential converts, as none of the folks in here need them. You see a group of seven dwarfs scattered about a fair sized cavern. They seem normal, except for their skin is an ashy gray colour.
The one holding the guitar speaks up as you enter. "Who's this that comes to us in our home? New converts? Or intruders?"

Michael thinks about his conversations with Tinker, "Aye lad, now seeing as how I was raised by gnomes, I've had to learn about things a dwarf should know. Did you know that like Halflings there are different types of dwarves? hill Dwarves, Mountain Dwarves, and then the Dreaded Dugar.'
never heard of Dugar, Tink, what are they.
nobut the most evil creatures alive, worshipers of strange evil gods. fans of blood sacrifice, and perverted in ways you do not speak about in polite company.
when the memory finishes, Michael sends a message to Pru via the link. "I think these are Dugar, Pru, bad evil dwarves. and the fact they are asking if we are converts...well I think they have pretty much admitted they are part of the group that attacked us.".

Sigvar slowly reaches out around himself, looking for the others that stayed back. When he finds an armored shoulder he is sure that must be Trayvin. The squishy shoulder must be Prudence. It'll hinder his ability to draw his weapons and fight quickly, but he keeps a hand on each of their shoulders. When Michael gives the word that there are Grey Dwarves ahead Sigvar very quietly whispers this to Trayvin, so that the Half orc has some clue what is going on up ahead. Aside from that he stands still and waits for instructions to move up.
DM Warren - Rimli and Cegolas Wednesday October 7th, 2020 7:08:01 PM
Trayvin does some brainstorming about protocols for invisible group movement. They would come in handy if they have more of these infiltration style missions. Sigvar makes sure he knows where his companions are, and fills in Trayvin quietly on what's going on.
Michael strives to recall some conversations with Tinker, though since his stories were secondhand already, he can't be sure they're true. knowledge local skill 15 to confirm any information regarding these dark dwarvesHighlight to display spoiler: { or Duergar }
Pru hangs out and makes sure that her spells are still functioning properly.
Nikolai "plays" along with Anna, though it works better as a disguise for any extra noises his invisible teammates may make. It may even be intentional.
Anna shows off her gear and wishes she could join the camaraderie of this group.
Be you welcome, here. I'm called Aratorn. How did you find your way to us? Usually Eidinth brings new converts to us personally. You can come to our waiting area while I go fetch the high priest to meet with you.

Anna as Rimli says, "Oh yes Eidnith. She gave us quite the sermon with respect to Ma'ab and friendship with living things and keeping an open mind and true forms. It was very impressive. A paladin of another deity who happened to be present for the sermon even was swayed by her arguments concerning true forms and wanted to seek out the truth for himself. The whole sermon started when a green humanoid plant woman who claimed to be a 'champion of the queen' (her words) showed up and started asking a bunch of questions. The two women got into somewhat of a heated philosophical argument. We weren't sure how long their debate would last so Cegolas and I thought we'd check things out for ourselves and now we are here. You don't think that humanoid plant woman meant Eidnith any harm do you?"

The loud invisibles form a chain. Pru lets out a little telepathic 'oof' to remind Sigvar how strong he is. Michael gives him some stealth pointers too, and comes just short of physically holding up his foot to help him place it more gently on the ground.
Nikolai and Pompous look around the room, but see no place they could think of to hide. The tunnel "Rimli" and "Cegolas" are being beckoned towards has a matching one on the west side, but there are no convenient ledges for snipers or hideyholes for surprise ambushes to help either party.
Aratorn chats easily enough with you as he walks towards the eastern tunnel mouth, idling playing his guitar while he walks. You can tell he's quite proficient with it. He's picked up on Anna's melody and has embellished and refined it already. There's no light coming from the tunnel, and you can't see much past the opening. You can tell though that it's dwarf sized, and anyone taller or wider will have limited mobility. Are you following?

"Well, you were there before me, so all I heard was about going to the caves for initiation. She seemed anxious to get on with this special ceremony so she didn't give us any time but to get directions. And bad ones at that. It took us a whole day clambering around out there to find this place.
Anyway, Aratorn, you may be able to see well enough in these dark caves, but not us. I don't want to stumble around in here and look like a fumbling fool. Can we have some light? Can I borrow a torch for the two of us to see by?"
Nikolai holds Anna back until some light can be provided and waits for an answer.

Aratorn cocks his eye at Niko.... Cegolas. Hmmn, could have sworn I could see some elfin features about you, but if your eyes aren't up to the task, you can take a light. Your friend can hold your hand of course, but it would be a shame to stop that music!
He leads you down the dark tunnel, which bends to the north and back around west to a much larger cavern. This one has rows of benches and an altar at the far end. Aratorn directs you to sit at the back and heads off, ostensibly to find the high priest he mentioned.

Anna and Nikolai continue their performance while seated at the back of the large hall. They can see a few people coming and going at the far end, but the duties don't seem to be anything out of the ordinary for a place of worship. Tending candles, cleaning pews and altars, and the like.
Their host seems gone a long time, and their eyes occasionally start to lose focus, as if from boredom or drowsiness.

Michael leaves Sigvar, Pompous, and Pru at the other end of the tunnel as he follows Nikolai and Anna into the "temple. he finds a place to observe that is hidden, even without invisibility, and sets to watch whats going on. he suspects a trap, then again he always suspects a trap so he tries to focus on what may be signs that this is a trap. it's boring, and as always staying awake on a watch is a challenge, but it's a challenge Michael knows well.

Nikolai, alert despite the awful 'music' he is trying to make, pauses for a breather and notices a smoky wooziness attempting to take hold. His elven blood and strict monk training fights it off. He puts away his kazoo and nudges Anna to stop playing as well.
"Listen," he whispers. "I hear footsteps nearby but I don't see the source."
He sends a message through the link, "Did one of you invisible guys follow us in? Let us know quickly, 'cause there's someone lurking around in here that I can't see!"

Pru, Sigvar, and Trayvin hold themselves alert, waiting for the notice to come assist if necessary. Pompous keeps his eyes on the visible group members.
Nikolai's keen senses is the only one to pick up on the possible dangers. He quickly ascertains that it's not his party invisibly around them. Or at least it's more than just Michael. He can't read exactly where people may be, but he can tell there's at least a few of them.
As they're worrying about being burned, Aratorn comes back in the room. I hope you didn't get too bored waiting, the high priest will see you now. Come right this way!

Anna knows that Arathorn just tried something against them she doesn't know what but that she managed to resist it.
She sends out over the mental link Arathorn just tried to do something but my knowledge of magic isn't that great being that what I do aren't spells so I didn't catch what he just attempted. I don't know if Nikolai resisted it too or not. If he didn't I'm going with him and I'll play along like I didn't resist until I perceive a threat at which case I'l react accordingly. It may finally be time for me to Dragon depending on how this shakes out. The rest of the Fist might want to be ready - things might be about to Get Real
Anna will see what happens with Nikolai. If he fails to resists or plays along she will go with him with a readied action use Queen's Shape as soon as she perceives a threat.
If the jig is up and Nikolai reacts now as if it is up then she will activate her barkskin SLA

With anna's admission that something was tried upon them, conditions for an attack were satisfied for Michael.
Pru as soon as they get to the place he is taking them I'm going to need you to get yourself, Trayvin, Sigvar and Pompous to them. I am going to hang back and en place a few surprises for our invisible friends. Come out swinging, there's some bad juju going on.
Michael downs a potion of darkvision. he puts the bottle back in his pocket to prevent detection.
he creeps ever so carefully over to where Nikolai and Anna went with the Durgar. since he cannot set pitons to attach string to, he looks for places to tie sting to. it's dark in the tunnel so the dark vision comes in handy.
he sets up trip lines 3 in all. the first one drags a taglefoot bag underfoot, the second one busts a bottle of acid and the third just trips them. he has fine wire, fishing hooks and glue. something can be done.

Nikolai - Continued:
Nikolai shrugs off the seemingly innocent command but had a pull on his mind that was definitely an attempt to force him to follow. What must have saved him was his mindset to be inquisitive as much as possible to buy his Team some time, and the fact that he was aware of some invisible lurkers.
Nikolai's hair on the back of his neck stood out as he sensed danger closing in. If they didn't play along, those invisible ones would probably strike!
"Ah indeed. Every experience is different. But wait a moment. Let me divest of all these clanking pots and pans before we go in. I want to be presentable and I'm sure I'll need to remove them anyway. No point in making the High Priestess wait and suffer all this clanking."
Nikolai starts plucking off pots and pans strapped to his backpack and belt and jacket and laying them, rather noisily, in a pile at his feet. While doing so he mentally signals the group, "This is it folks. We need to catch all these in here while the area favors us. Strike NOW!"
At the signal, Nikolai takes his last pot and flings it mightily at Aratorn:

Aratorn casually leans out of the way of the thrown pot. Bad choice my friend. We would have gone easy on you, but now you'll join Rimli with the other dwarf slaves! His music turns sinister, and all of you cannot resist being shaken to your core All are shaken unless you're immune to fear (-2 to most rolls) - no save as far as I can tell.
To each side of you, another Duergar suddenly becomes visible. But it seems their attacks are waster, as none come close to hitting even flatfooted opponents.

Pru casts Maze on one of the Duergars, and promptly becomes visible.

Nikolai makes a note to self to practice tossing pots more, then dodges, more instinctively than true skill, a blow from a used-to-be-invisible attacker. However the rocks were easy, they were thrown as bad as his pot was.

Aratorn has probably never seen true combat, used to letting his words overwhelm and control people. He looks briefly surprised as sword wounds crisscross his body before falling over. As easy as that, his music has ended. moved Michael on the map to where he said he was.
Sigvar steps up, appearing out of nowhere to cut down the duergar trying to stab Nikolai. Even Nikolai is surprised a bit at the sudden replacement of gray dwarf with red mist.
Since Aratorn has already fallen, Pompous can easily switch targets to one of the rock throwers, who is cut down just as quickly.
Nikolai is able to step up to the second melee combatant, deliver a solid punch to the face and then knock him on his back. He is now staring up at an angry monk and a black dragon head.

She says, "That certainly was anti-climatic. If I knew they were going to be such pushovers after the ones we fought at the Temple I would have just clocked one of them with my darkwood guitar and not potentially wasted my Beast Shape IV morphamancy."
"Too bad that other guy escaped. Had I not activated my morphamancy I could have used my verdant vine ability to trip him up as ran past.

It would appear that the runner was frightened enough to not worry about his downed companion and caught him with the blast full on. He lolls in Nikolai's grip as he folds him into a shape not unlike a pretzel to hold him down.
Most of the Agents wonder if they expended too much power on these few. Aratorn obviously thought that his covert group could take the 2 converts with not many problems. Instead, he and 4 of his allies now lie dead on the floor, and another is wandering through some infernal maze. He thought he had found the exit for a second, but it led to another dead end. int check 19
Still, it is simple to tell that these quickly killed duergar aren't the ones from the entry cavern, and the size of this cavern would indicate that they have quite a few people that regularly attend services. If you plan to question the one here, you'll have to wait around a few seconds while he comes back to his senses.

Sigvar looks around at the walls and ceiling. The caverns are carved directly from the rock - you don't see any other supports.
Trayvin starts compiling a list of questions and plans to keep them from being surprised by reinforcements. Michael spends a few moments catching up. He'd like to move some furniture to impede reinforcements, but it's much too heavy for him alone. Filling up a tunnel with ice or causing a cave-in is floated.
The dwarf looks like he's been listening the whole time. His ears and eyes seem to have kept working though he wasn't able to do anything else. He doesn't bother struggling against his bonds, instead choosing to spit on his captors.
You will all join that old woman in a cell soon enough! At least until the master decides to make you his dinner!

Not able to help himself Sigvar taunts the dwarf. " Oh, Slartanus has a cell here, with our commander in it? How refreshing being told what you want to know without asking? Did he bake us a cake? Surely he knew we were coming." " I wonder, has he told you how he deserted the last two sets of Minions he recruited to try and kill us? Yup, left them to dangle when he realized that we could finish him before he even got to breathe on us. Ah, no matter. You'll be fine I guess. I won't kill a helpless prisoner, however I am the good guy here. The others are somewhat more attached to our commander and may have an axe to grind with you." " Oh, how long until your buddy drags some more followers to jump on our swords and die? Is the corridor very long or will they be along presently?"

Michael thinks of tormenting the dwarf some more but decides that his time will be better spent setting up and ambush on the oncoming reinforcements.
how high is the ceiling? is there wall above the entrance to this tunnel where the guard ran out? if there is Michael spends a bit of time getting up on the wall, the better to jump down behind them once they enter. he even takes time to drive a piton into the rock to give himself something to hold onto.

Nikolai opens the door, but rather than the office space he was expecting, it's another corridor leading off into the darkness. It's as cramped as the one that they walked through to get here and bends off to the west after 30 feet or so.
Michael might be a little jealous of Anna as he climbs the wall to find a vantage point. He tries to position himself above the corridor, where there is indeed room to maneuver. This space is well vaulted (20 feet high).
Pompous keeps ever vigilant, while Sigvar goads the small man, and Pru turns on the charm.
Those others were just chattel, there to die for the cause. He looks like he's going to answer Pru when the mazed Duergar pops back into the room. He shouts to him instead. Alert the barracks! Go!

OOC; this means we have two of the enemies who have ran off? I was going to place me ambush positon above the door that they left out of. if that is the northern door I may be in position to get him when he passes through. but if the other dwarf left out of another door then I would be either above the east or west door. I need to know this info before I can move.
basically I need clarification.
DM OOC: first dwarf threw out a stunning shout and ran out the west door, which is where I figure you were camping out.
second dwarf popped in from the maze, got hit, cast invisibility, and ran north.

Sigvar is oblivious o where the duergar went after he smashed it with his sword. Perception 7 (So I get the impression that people other than me on the map may not be where they really are, which makes it tough to decide what to do. Sigvar has dust of Appearance, but without a decent idea of where the guy went or who if anyone is between him and freedom he can't really use it. Of course if he can get it off likely Pompous will staple the guy to the wall. This leaves me with a bunch of 'if then' statements for you, sorry) IF Sigvar is given an approximate whereabouts of the Deurgar he will move that way and either bump into the guy or get close enough to dose him with dust of appearance (10' radius burst). If he bumps into him he will dose him with the dust as well and hope for Pompous to murder him.

Nikolai takes a gamble. He calculates that the duegar will run towards the exit the other one ran through. Calculating the probable speed of the duegar and the obstacles that are in his path (benches, Fist members, etc.), he activates his new tatoo of Faerie Fire, casting it in the appropriate square where he thinks the guy will be.
Faerie Fire: Burst 5' radius (10' diameter) centered on the most probable location calculated from the above calculations using Perception +22+1(Luckstone) +1 (Prayer) = 40
OOC: that is, Nikolai will guestimate where the dwarf will most probably be, so if he is even in an adjacent square, he'll get got. Now that 'guestimate' is left up to the DM to abjudicate using Nikolai's guess (Perception 40 roll). I say this because I (the Player) don't know which square he started in but Nikolai does.

Michael, where he is positioned cannot meaningfully effect where the north dwarf is going, so He just hopes that the attack comes from his door instead of the north door. thinking about it a bit he figures he might need to suggest some things just in case they don't catch him.
if he makes it out the door and we do not catch him. Michael says: we might need to block off that door that way we don't get flanked when the guys come through this door.
if the do catch him. good catch, we still might need to block off that door so we don't get flanked.

Pru identifies the spell, but keeps her focus on the interrogation. She seems to be getting through to him too. I'm pretty new here, and not super into the whole Maab thing anyway. The others, they're more diehard. Let me go, I can get my buddies from the entry hall to shove off. Back in the barracks though, they will fight to the death for the dragon, and they won't be the pushovers we were.
Sigvar and Anna can't make hide nor hair about where the dwarf went, but they prepare for responding if they find him.
Michael and Trayvin keep at their posts, making sure that no one will be able to surprise them coming in from the entry corridors.
All things considered though, the duergar wasn't that stealthy to begin with, and Nikolai and Pompous's keen senses pick up his footfalls. He's quickly limned by ghostly light from Nikolai's tattoo.
He isn't sticking around to get caught though, and sprints directly east to head out the northeast corridor.

Sigvar hears Trayvin's words and pauses. These guys were evil, but like the dwarf had said, pushovers. There was no honor in killing fodder that would flee given the chance. Besides, the goal here was the commander, not stamping out pissant little evildoers. He sees Trayvin's look of 'if the others agree...' and speaks up. " I can live with them getting out of here, provided that layout gets us to the commander on the double. I would add that they try to do good in the Wold or things like us will happen to them but I doubt it would do much good. So what I will say is don't come back and don't cross us. Second chances are for taking, not squandering." The paladin hastens to the other side of the room, trying to get to where they say the runner went. He sees nothing but remains ready.

Nikolai is not about to let that duergar get away. Using a Ki point, he speeds himself up a bit more. Base Speed 60' + 20' (Ki pt for 1 round) = 80' for one round Ki pts 8/9
Nikolai sprints after the sprinting sparkling duergar. Nikolai will spend another Ki pt for another 80' speed next round if it looks like he'll catch him within reasonable distance from this room. Improved Grapple att +24 = 36 +1 (Prayer if still active) vs CMD

Or that would have happened, had Pompous not run up behind and but an arrow right through the grappled, invisible, faerie-fired duergar. Combined with the hit from Sigvar earlier, it's enough to take him down, leaving one less enemy for the coming fight.

Nikolai hears the duergar start reciting some arcane words then gurgles up some blood as an arrow pierces him and he goes limp. Well, Nikolai can't complain too much about not having another prisoner to question. At least there's another reason for the remaining duergar pawns to abandon ship, uhm, cave.
He drags the dead invisible sparkly duergar back to the temple room and plops him down with the other dead.
Nikolai wonders about the sincerity of this duergar. He knows little about this offshoot of the dwarves, except they were willing to partner up with an evil dragon and falsely parade around as worshipers of a distorted version of Maab. He remembers having found some gnolls that were willing to put away their evil nature, so maybe a duergar can too.
"You just don't really know how lucky you are to be alive at this moment. That sparkly friend of yours thought he could get away and I had all intentions of bringing him back here alive. Well, you see how well that worked. And yet, here you stand, a bit bruised but otherwise in good shape. And it isn't because whomever you serve prevented your death. It is who WE serve that had us keep you alive. And we serve the side of GOOD! So, it would be a very good idea to honor that goodwill by choosing Good at all times. Just saying, 'cause theFates may come calling on you if you treat your fortuitous survival in a trivial manner.

"Let's find you something to write with," Pru says to the cooperative duergar. "And you can sketch the complex for us, and tell us where our commander is being held. Then you need to gather whom you can and escape before the action starts up again."
If all else fails, Pru has some chalk in her haversack, and the duergar can make his drawing on the floor.

@Sigvar - I've been trying to keep things going in combat rounds, so probably 5-6 additional rounds passed by now. Since there's not any more imminent threats, we can drop from round tracking now.
Trayvin and Pru continue to play good constable, providing their captive with ink and paper and loosening the bonds on his hands to put down what he knows about the layout.
Michael request some burly assistance to use some pews to block off some of the entrances to the cavern while Pompous and Anna keep vigilant on their watch. Pompous worries about taking down the other duergar, but has a feeling that he had plenty of tricks to try to escape, and is better off taken down.
Nikolai makes sure their captive knows what's what, with a stern lecture on decisions he should make in the future.
The duergar sketches out what he can (map is updated to show the full complex). There are two large barracks' on the east and west where teams like mine are garrisoned. There's 3 eleven man teams still in each side, but from how you handled us, they won't be much of a problem, and you could probably convince them to leave.
The back room though guards the entryway to the prisoner cells. The team back there calls the shots. Any one of them is worth our team on his own, and I don't think you'll have much luck convincing them to give up this cult idea.
You all came in the large entrance in the south, and the two side tunnels there lead off to other hidden exits in the cliff face. There are no traps that he knows of - their defense relied on numbers and small tunnels.

Nikolai assumes that the barracks where the screamer went will be warned and know some of what has transpired, however the other barracks may not know what's going on, so, "Thank you for your help. We will keep our word that those of you who reject the dragon we won't harm. Go to those barracks over there", pointing to the one the screamer went to, "and get them out of here. And don't turn back. If those in the other barracks don't resist, we will spare them too. We give our word we will give them a chance to surrender. Now go on. If we find any lingering behind, we will pile their corpses here and you can claim them in a few days or so."
Once the duergar leaves, Nikolai directs a quick search of the dead duergar for any valuables and then heads to the barracks opposite the captured one goes to. If any duergar come passing through from the other barracks while they are still in here, the Fist will be more than ready for them if they give any trouble, but otherwise will let them escape.

Think our quiet boys can stay hidden until then? I am just keen on avoiding the massacre we had here and the possibility that one or two of the weak guys in the barracks is committed and flees to warn the tougher guards. Not so much a problem that we would end up killing the guards, they are evil and had a hand in taking Commander Palance, they can die in a fire, slowly, for that, but it will weaken and delay us to face them and I don't want her whisked away again. On that note we also need to remember she may not be herself. She is, from what I recall, a talented swordswoman and I have no desire to face her if she is being controlled by the dragon. We need to get and extended protection from evil on her ASAP or to knock her out so we can deal with her later.

With danger managed for the moment, the Agents take a few breaths to plan. As far as they can tell, there were 3 shifts of mooks, one of which has been dispatched or fled, one is probably asleep in the barracks, and the other barracks may be awake, but not on duty.
No enemies got out that way to warn them, so Pru may be able to block them off while they handle the real threat.
Still, Pompous wonders why they're taking time now for loot, and whether they can really trust a duergar. They do easily notice several sets of shortswords, crossbows, an amulet and headband, and several potions. There's also a quite nice guitar if someone can repair the damage Michael did to it.

If it isn't magical mending or a normal scroll of make whole should work. If it is magical we will have to figure out the caster level of the the magic guitar in order to figure what caster level we need for a make whole spell to repair it."

The Agents grab the easy treasure and stash it away for later. Anna starts chatting about magic guitars and such, confident that she can repair it in one way or another. Pru starts getting whiplash about which bit of reality she's being asked to manipulate with her arcane might.

Sorry for lateness - can you put a dot on the map where you intend to drop your dimension door? Sounds like you're intension is to go into the prison area, Sigvar won't fit in any of the tunnels (or at least not be able to move once he's there), so if you're teleporting him it has to be to an open area.

Nikolai will lead the way towards Barrack 1. This way they can bypass the barracks without a fight, unless they are still there on their way back. For those who can't see well in the dark, he uses his Everburning Torch but shielded on the left to block the light from going down the tunnel to Barracks 1.
He pauses at the intersection of the Elite Barracks and gives everyone the chance to catch up.

Pru finishes casting Invisibility, gathers the "stealthy" group, and Dimension Doors them to the blue dot on the map. Note that the spell specifically says what happens if you try to materialize in a solid object.
The stealth agents pop in with a slight woosh of displaced air. Nikolai is leading a second stealthy prong up the western corridor with Anna. They can both report back to the rest of the group what they're seeing.
Nikolai is a little bored with empty hallways, other than the occasional bit of discarded trash or scrap of food. You want Ankhegs? Cause that's how you get Ankhegs. But their informant must have told them true, since all you can hear from the direction of Barracks 1 is some faint snores.
Invisible Pru (and Pompous and Michael I think?) have a much more distressing scene. For those that can see in the dark Highlight to display spoiler: {there are 9 beds and trunks in here, as well as a small table which is occupied by 3 duergar playing cards and snacking. 3 of the beds are empty, and a quick glance can show you a few musical tools and sheets of music that leads you to believe this belonged to Aratorn. 3 of the beds have occupants, one dozing, one reading, and one fiddling with something small and metallic. }

The darkness is a problem, but somebody else is going to have to solve it. Pru casts another Dimension Door, and blips back to get Sigvar, and anybody else left behind. Possibly including people who started through the barracks but changed their mind. :)

They chalk it up to normal bodily functions of their bunkmates and the laughter of people losing money to a bad hand of cards who fully intend to steal it back soon after.}
Michael immediately gets low to the ground and is lucky that he didn't skooch himself into some dangling legs, since he can't make out anything in the room. (unless you have some source of darkvision?)
Sigvar and Trayvin prep themselves for the next teleport, wishing that they had some idea of the situation they were about to pop into.
Anna picks up no invisible enemies around and Nikolai puts on another disguise, hoping his acting has improved over the last few minutes.

Michael continues to scoot his way around the room. The first pair of boots he comes across get tied together. Unfortunately, they aren't attached to a dwarf right now, but they won't be much use if someone tries to get them on in a hurry. The next bed he comes across has a crossbow leaning up against it, and he manages to foul that mechanism.
Then a light blooms at the cave entrance, giving some light to Pompous who is surprised at the appearance of a smallish gnoll and his shoulder bat.
The look is spot on, but Nikolai doesn't quite have the acting down. Something to do with the fact that his knees aren't backwards, perhaps. The occupants all sit up quick. One at the table says Who are you? You don't belong here! Barumon - Hold him! One of the lounging duergar points almost lazily at Niko-gnoll and casts a spell. Nikolai - Will Save 22 (enchantment/mind-affecting) or you are paralyzed spellcraft 20 Highlight to display spoiler: {Hold Monster}

Confusion reigns in the first moments of combat. Gnoll-kolai's light disguises Sigvar's shining blade long enough for him to get in a surprising strike, but he almost gets skewered by Pompous before he notices he's too short to be anything other than his commanding officer in disguise.
Sigvar uses his surprise to great advantage and scores a solid blow on the closest foe.
Anna jumps in to assist, growing back into her favourite combat shape.
Nikolai avoids the spell and readies his wizbang.
Michael pops up from under the bed with lightning speed and shows Barumon what happens when he tries to ensorcell his commander. With all the free sneak attacking, Barumon quickly goes down in a bloody mess.
Trayvin summons in some help for this battle and Pru hastes most of the party.

The duergar that Sigvar slashes now has a chimera in his face. He isn't phased though as he disappears in a twinkling and reappears near the back of the room. A chair comes flying from the back at Anna, but it shatters on her chimera scales.
The duergar he's hiding behind stands up and pulls an oversized crossbow up from the floor. He sends the huge bolt sailing down the center of the room to punch a hole into Sigvar. AC37 for 24 damage

Hasted, Sigvar narrowly avoids the incoming fence post fired from the crossbow ( Haste makes his AC 38).

when the gravity goes all wonky he catches himself on a wall sconce and then follows the beds to the ceiling using them as cover as he moves closer to the group of Drugar.

Pru gestures toward the duergar rising from the bed. "Stoneskin," she alerts her companions.
She recognizes the Mass Hold Person being cast as well, but it doesn't help her make her Will save.
And, she recognizes Reverse Gravity, but, still caught by the Hold Person spell, there's nothing she can do about it.

The world turns upside down as gravity spins on end. Pompous quickly and nimbly secures himself before firing a volley at the closest spell slinger ( likely the one south east from him)

[Oh, wait, Freedom's Call lets us ignore the paralyzation? If that's the case, Pru would cast Feather Fall as the group starts to fall toward the ceiling.]
DM Warren - MAP d20+15=35 ; d20+9=26 ; Tuesday November 10th, 2020 6:07:32 PM
An unexpectedly speedy Sigvar avoids the volt, but then is held fast and flung up to the ceiling. He feels Trayvin's aura free him briefly, but once he flies forward out of the aura, it seizes him again. (You were able to move forward, but the spell took effect again when you got 30ft away). He does get far enough forward for gravity to work right again, so he's on solid ground at least.
Michael catches himself and parkours his way forward, eventually getting himself out of the strange gravity area.
Trayvin plops an earth elemental into the mix which double bludgeons a duergar before suppressing the paralyzing effect on his closer teammates and also hitting the ceiling. (30foot range, should cover everyone but Sigvar at the moment.)
Pru knows all the spells being tossed around, and while she and Nikolai both feel the spell take hold, they also feel Trayvin suppressing it for them. Pru realizes in time to slow the effect, nullifying the damage from falling up. (Nikolai should still be able to act)
Between not being a person and being able to fly, Anna isn't affected by any of the spells and goes to work with her breath weapon. The far duergar manages to flip out of the way and the other resists the worst of the damage.
Agile Pompous secures himself against the back wall and fires a volley at the closest caster. This was the one that Pru said had stoneskin, so while he does chip away, he does not quite as much as he had hoped.

Not being up to the task of damaging Anna, the dwarf who threw the chair goes after the elemental instead. He steps up into a spot just cleared for him and grows large.
The one in front drops his overlarge crossbow and pulls out a wicked looking axe. Even paralyzed, most of Sigvar's defense is his armor and hard to get through. Only one axe strike hits (14 damage)
The one that got smacked around by the elemental pulls a trick out of Pru's book, barely avoiding losing the spell for fear of getting hit again. A sickly green ray shoots out of his finger, striking Anna manticore. (130 damage, Fort Save DC23 to only take 14.)

[OOC: As I read the Hold Person spell, it allows a save every round, but that requires a full-round action. To, like, focus your will or something. Do the DMs concur with my interpretation? Assuming they do, Pru will forego her save in favor of actually doing something this round. :) ]
DM ooc: I agree with this interpretation. So long as you could touch all three, then that DD should work fine.
"Wall of Force," Pru calls after the first spell. "....aaand, that's a Cloudkill. We need to be elsewhere. All aboard for a Dimension Door."
Assuming Nikolai, Trayvin, and Pompous join her, Pru Dimension Doors them all to where the blue dot is now. She can't see the spot now, of course, but she would have been able to see it before the cloud went up, so she'd have some idea where to go.

Michael makes his super speedy attack. Unfortunately for Michael though, Sigvar is paralyzed at the moment and not able to help him flank. He hits, but not hard enough to crit or bleed his target.
Trayvin's elemental keeps smashing away, then he's whisked behind the wall of force with Pru.
Nikolai at first bounces off the wall of force in the center of the room, then get's grabbed along with Pompous by Pru's spell, and kicks the dwarf with the axe.
Sigvar is once again under the effect of Trayvin's aura, so he takes full advantage on the surprised duergar. Luckily for him, he is able to take advantage of the flank that Michael couldn't, which makes several more blows connect and results in one dead dwarf.
Anna tries to fly forward but is also stymied by the wall of force. Luckily, she's made herself immune to the poison which floats a little bit down the room, but that doesn't get her through the barrier.
Pompous keeps plugging away at his first target, shedding multitudes of stone flakes away.

Pru tries to tell everyone about the Baleful Polymorph, but then suddenly she is a bat and can't talk. She can't do much of anything else, either. [Fort save 20, Will save 19]
Then she takes sonic damage, and is stunned and deafened.
She does not take all the cold damage, but she is effectively out of the fight.

Michael watches Sigvar absolutely destroy the Durgar in front of him, then a dragon screams behind him, funny how when you are deafened the only thing you hear is a buzz. Michael senses the air suck back and then push forward as the cone of cold expands out and handily ducks behind one of the beds as the frigid wave passes to the side of him.
seeing the blanket on the bed gives him an idea.
He grabs the blanket, bounces off the table and engulfs the drugar at 7 top. (the one closes to him.).

Pru likely takes some action once she realizes that she's still invisible and not actually a bat.
Nikolai throws his stone, and amazingly manages to deafen 2 of his targets. His next hit misses, but the last chips away some more flaky stone.
Anna turns into yet another amazing creature, but since she can't fly, she pops up to the ceiling again. Likely her armor keeps her from taking damage (4), and luckily she can still hit the force wall from the ceiling.
Sigvar steps up, and thanks to the previous several barrages from Pompous is able to cleave through the last of the protection and kill his target.
Michael pulls a clever trick, wrapping a blanket around the duergar's head.
The spells easily overcame Pompous' resistance, so since Pru was invisible, he should roll that Fort Save or become a bat. If he succeeds, then all but his last shot hit his target (no crit though).

Pru was never a bat, but she was stunned and is now deafened. However, the Telepathic Bond is still up, so she can still "hear" Anna needing to get through the Wall of Force.
"I'm not your taxi service," she mutters. Well, she thinks she mutters. Actually, it's pretty loud.
She attempts to cast Disintegrate at the Wall of Force. Since she is deaf, she has a 20% spell failure chance, but she manages to get it off. Per the spell description, Disintegrate destroys Wall of Force.
Realizing she'll probably be dead next round, Pru tries for a Quickened Magic Missile at the visible remaining duergar. This time, however, her spell fails.

Being deafened means Nikolai can't use his perception very well to sense where the invisible guy has gone. He does take a liking to Michael's tactic and takes a 5' step off the bed, forward, grabs the blanket and tosses it in front of him.
Move: grab blanket Action: toss the blanket in the square in front of him d20 +20 +1(haste) vs AC5 = 24 OOC: as this is not an attack per se, just flinging the blanket like a net, should it be considered an improvised weapon like Michael's use?

After almost being batified, Pompous says no thanks and his arrows blasted away his target, which Sigvar was able to finish off. He doesn't run into anyone invisible. Neither does Nikolai's blanket find anything.
Anna takes a swing at the wall, but Pru has kindly gotten rid of it for her. For a moment, nothing is left except a cloudkill slowly drifting away.
That is until that presence that Michael felt reveals itself to be a dragon! Not the one you were expecting, as it's red and spewing a giant gout of fire into the room. Nikolai, Sigvar, and the elemental feel the heat, but are out of the cone. It sweeps over everyone else though.
DC27 Reflex or take 53 fire damage
In addition, everyone (but Sigvar) must make a DC23 Will Save or be shaken due to its Frightful Presence.
Knowledge Arcana 28 Highlight to display spoiler: { This is quite possibly the effect of the Duergar casting the spell "Form of the Dragon"}
Michael lets the Dwarf fight with the blanket while he guts him. He's so focused on killing this dude he does not even notice the dragon in the room.
I'm guessing he's flat-footed while he deals with that, so I get precision damage.

Suddenly there is a dragon right next to Sigvar! The Minotaur takes it in stride. While this IS the most unusual thing that has happened to him today, the day is young and something more fantastic might yet happen. Sigvar Smites the dragon as a matter of cause and then starts killing it.
SMITE EVIL: a paladin can call out to the powers of good to aid her in her struggle against evil. As a swift action, the paladin chooses one target within sight to smite. If this target is evil, the paladin adds her Charisma bonus (if any) to her attack rolls and adds her paladin level to all damage rolls made against the target of her smite. If the target of smite evil is an outsider with the evil subtype, an evil-aligned dragon, or an undead creature, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 2 points of damage per level the paladin possesses. Regardless of the target, smite evil attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess.

Nikolai figures that at least if that invisible duergar shows up in front of him, he'll see the blanket shift and move a bit, but the appearance of the dragon throws all thoughts of this happening to the winds. Fortunately, he's fought a dragon before, or perhaps he does not believe this is a true dragon but a polymorphed duergar. In either case, he feels no fear of its presence. Of its talons and jaws, maybe yes, but not of it just sitting there.
Oddly enough, he's so close to the dragon that its belching of fire is to high and goes over his head. He is staring at it's belly though, and as tough as it may seem, he pummels it.

Unfortunately for the Duergar sorcerer, he had already taken quite a beating before calling on his dragon power. Michael's flurry and the flank from the elemental finish him off, and he shrinks back down to just a bleeding dark dwarf again. Everything is quiet for the moment as the gas finishes dissipating out the hall and the ringing in your ears dies down.
Your injuries are pretty sever, but for the moment it seems you've won the day. Though there is no sign of the other duergar that disappeared, and counting bodies, there's one of two of the elite team that probably aren't accounted for.

Michael is raring to go, feeling very close to their objective. He doesn't want the commander to languish in a cell any longer than possible.
He is briefly stymied by a locked door.
Trayvin does what he does best and patches up the more heavily damaged Agents. Pru is especially thankful. Nikolai and Anna get back to more familiar forms since most any need for subtlety is past.
Pompous turns his attention to the bodies, thinking that it may be a good source of information. What he finds depends on how long they spend, but the first body he glances over is obviously stocked with high quality gear. Besides the arbalest, there is some nice armor and bracers, his axe and shield, and probably some more things in his pockets.

Pompous would still like to loot the bodies, since there are several more he hasn't checked plus each of their trunks. He rifles through some pockets and does come up with a key! Maybe it'll even work in the door, since Michael didn't quite get the tumblers to click open. Maybe because of the tear in his eye thinking about an old friend.
Trayvin makes sure the Agents are ready for anything while Sigvar covers some more bases for the next expected fight. Pru catches several auras to check out among the bodies.
Nikolai and Anna keep on track though, and if the key or the lockpicks don't work, then a huge hippo will soon make short work of the door.
However they break through, they are met by a long, dark passage heading north, that bends west just at the end of the torchlight.

Trayvin is reminded that he should look after his own wounds. Sigvar starts looting a body as well, finding a couple of potions and other sundry items. He gets pulled away by new information from Michael.
Michael has snatched the key from Pompous' hand almost before he mentioned finding it and set his sniffer working on the hallway. There are no traps to speak of, and he can't smell any fear (though who knows if he could smell fear whether or not it's there?)
He finds that once he gets to the bend in the hallway, the torch and dancing lights are no longer necessary. What seemed like a lingering effect of the deafness reveals itself to be the sound of the ocean, which you can hear through gaps in the stone wall. Presumably it is a cliff face that drops down to the sea.

Pompous, Pru, and Sigvar keep searching through the bodies and have now added several pieces of gems and jewelry, various scrolls and potions, and an assortment of magic glowing weapons and armor. It's quite the haul! Let me know when you want the full accounting.
Michael and Nikolai finish squeezing through into the open area. The sea is much clearer now, but more worrying is the huge green dragon flying around outside! and despite his care and the reduced vision, he has still noticed Nikolai!
What seems like a miniature sun is blinding in its brilliance after being so long in the darkened caverns. Nikolai and Michael - take 16 damage and you're blinded. DC24 reflex for half damage and no blindness. You hear the echoing of the dragon's laughter as he swoops around, enjoying taunting you from outside.

No damage for me thanks I have evasion! so , At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Michael sees the Dragon and dodges back around the corner when the "sun" comes out. deftly avoiding the blinding heat.

I was initially waiting on a full loot list as you were kinda still in combat rounds - if you want to assume Michael and Nikolai come back to strategize, we can get a full list. If not, then you can look for something specific and identify a couple per round. But it sounds like you're buffing up?
There is quite an assortment of weapons, armors, potions, scrolls, and other magic items. I'll assume you've done a couple items that people mentioned specifically:
+3 Unholy Heavy Crossbow The bag full of potions is a bag of holding 1
As for the cave layout, you're approximately 50-60 feet up from the ocean. No beach to speak of, just some painful rocks to potentially fall on. The wall of the cave is stone, but there are several small gaps in it so you can see out / he can see in. Spells are easy enough to target, arrows would need to be pretty close to the wall to fire through the gaps, and you would have to deal with some cover.
The hallway is like the others have been - large can squeeze through slowly, huge cannot fit without the squeeze feature.

Nikolai climbs up the wall and along the ceiling proceeds past the fissures in the tunnel to the other side. he crouches as best he can in hopes that with the dragon outside, flying around, it won't be able to notice someone on the ceiling with such a low profile.

Now that they've found their nemesis, the Agents take a breath to do some planning. Trayvin makes sure that everyone is topped up and ready for whatever comes next.
They know that they can't let the dragon remain unchecked to do more evil on the land, especially since that now involves creating dangerous cults of followers do to his bidding. But they also can't leave the commander to languish any longer than they can help.
Nikolai gets out of dragon view by slithering along the ceiling. There is enough light that he may change his mind before dropping to the floor. Down the hall, he sees several barred doors, and in front of one of them he sees the caster that disappeared from their earlier fight, as well as another heavily armored duergar. He must have been back here doing the rounds while the Agents carried out their ambush of the barracks. They are currently doing some hushed arguing, which is helping to cover the small sounds that Nikolai may be making.
The others continue to ready themselves, and start getting into position to annoy and/or engage the Dragon.

Nikolai quickly relays what he sees to the others in the mental message spell. "Get your butts over here, quit dilly-dallying!" he finishes his message.

With a sound that makes the ears of hounds bleed miles away, Sigvar continues to ram himself through the hallway. His armor makes the unholy noise as it scrapes and sparks off the rock walls. " Captain Magic Missile is here? I bought a little something for him at the catacombs. Can anyone make me smaller? I know I said I would never want to be smaller, but right now I think my size will hinder us all in getting in there and quickly dispatching those guards.

While they hadn't noticed before, lobbing a spell does get their attention. The mage points Nikolai out on the ceiling to the other duergar, who quickly sizes him up before speaking.
Drop yourself, that bag, and any other weapons you have if you want to keep your commander safe and sound.
Everyone else is making their way to the corridor with the prison cells, but so far they have only seen and are speaking to Nikolai.

Nikolai easily hits his target with a sticky bag, who is slowed up by it, but not glued to the floor. reflex save - pass
Anna and Sigvar finish squeezing their way into the larger cavern with Pru, Trayvin, and Pompous following closely behind.
The dragon chortles with evil glee as Sigvar finally gets into the open, putting his eye and maw up against the openings in the wall. He breathes his cone of acid into the room, giving Sigvar a corrosive bath.

Trayvin grunts and rolls with the acid, saving himself a bit of pain. Too late, he covers himself with a spell, hoping it won't be needed but experience screams that it will.

Reflex save 20+2 22 fail Sigvar basically had his mouth open when the dragon blew a gout of acid into his face and the burning is intense. If not for the Acid resistance he had put on himself before squeezing in this chamber he would be seriously hurt. As it is he has had better days. Sigvar is right on the other side of the latticework of stone that the dragon is using for cover so once the acid is done he begins trying to hack away at the dragon. ( Since Sigvar got the cover bonus to his save I am going to assume that the dragon gets the +4 AC bonus for cover as well. Sigvar has put the Speed enchantment on his sword using his divine bond so he is effectively hasted. No power attack here just straight up swings.

Trayvin sees the acid happening and takes some cautionary measures with a defensive spell.
Pru knows that they need a little time though, both to rescue the commander and get into battle formation. She pushes past the Dragon's innate resistance (SR31) and sends him off to who knows where. He's probably just as angry in the maze, though at least they can't hear him for now.
Trusting his teammates to keep the dragon occupied, Nikolai keeps on his main objective. The already bruised duergar eats the fist right in the face and spends this round seeing stars.
Sigvar is hurt, but not so badly as it could have been without his quick thinking. He goes to the wall to try to stab through the slits, but the dragon is currently in a magic labyrinth, thanks to Pru. Pompous also finds himself missing a target for the moment. You can both change or ready an action if you like.
The glued duergar fights through the goo to get up to Nikolai, but he is hindered too much to connect with his weapon.
Being rather smart, and also somewhat lucky, the Dragon reappears, having found his way out of the maze in moments. (If Sigvar and Pompous decided to ready an attack, I'll count your first attack each as going off, plus any single attack bonuses you may have)

Pru is able to take advantage of the dragon's absence to scoot through the room and come up behind Nikolai.
She's kind of done messing around at this point. She points to whichever Duergar seems least injured and casts Baleful Polymorph. The Duergar must succeed at a Fort save of 22 or be turned into a turtle.

With a missing target, Sigvar turns instead to offer Pru some acid protection as well. Pompous keep his aim steady though and looses one arrow that sinks into the dragon's cheek as soon as he reappears.
Trayvin hustles up and begins casting a spell. Summoning some more extra-planar help? Highly likely.
Anna also gets herself situated in the room, but she does have a target since the maze was no match for the dragon.
Nikolai promptly removes any plans of the short wizard escaping again, and pummels him into the ground.
Sigvar is ready for the reappearance, and the cover from the rocks seems to make little difference to his holy sword. The dragon screams in defiance as he suffers a plethora of wounds.
Pru's target manages to resist being a turtle, and tries to unload on Nikolai again since his only means of easy escape has just been killed next to him. He does get one lucky lick in, but doesn't see himself getting many more. 14 damage
The dragon, not ready to be face to face with a Paladin, offers one parting slap with his tail before flying up the cliff face and out of sight. 39 damage

Trayvin finishes the spell, and an elder air elemental appears outside. Trayvin directs it to follow the dragon and attack. That should give him something to do for a bit. And nice hit Sigvar, that should keep him from sticking his face where it don't belong.

He doesn't have many options, being wrapped up in the clinch by Nikolai. He does still have weapons, and he doesn't seem concerned about breath weapons with Nikolai and Pru being in the way and all. He tries to slug Nikolai in the gut several times with a spiky gauntlet, but can't get the leverage.
The Air Elemental gives Trayvin a little salute and flies up the cliff face to follow the instruction as best it can.
For now though, the only sound is the quiet struggles of an inexpert grappler still trying to beat up Nikolai.

Luckily for Prudence, this fellow doesn't seem to know enough about magic to know turtle power when he almost feels it. He settles down enough to let himself be tied, harrumphing loudly about it, but admitting defeat.
Sigvar points out mentally that she forgot to include Michael, likely because he's so stealthy in general.
Trayvin looks out for the wand, knowing they still have a dragon to deal with, even if he's disappeared for the moment.
Pompous isn't sure whether his joke landed or not. Maybe he'll set aside some of his usual target practice time to work on his tight 5?
Anna slinks up farther into the corridor, where she sees a bedraggled form lying on the ground in the back of the cell. She is delirious and unresponsive, but alive. Heal DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: {She appears to have taken substantial constitution damage from some sort of poison.}

Do not open her cell yet, but we will need to remove that poison from her system. I can attempt that Trayvin if you want to save your spells for the dragon or don't have it prepared. I need to examine her aura first though, and hopefully we can remve the mind control she seemed to be suffering from when she was taken."

Palance doesn't look to be in any immediate danger. The poison has run its course and she's suffered all she will from it. Still, she'll need some strong magic to cure its effects.
For now, there is no sign of the dragon as time slowly ticks by.

Nikolai, assessing the situation, suggests some options. "Using a Heal spell would bring her back to normal? Can we all teleport her back to the Citadel, then tackle the dragon when Pru gets back? If we have the Heal capability, let's do it and make it quick unless you know the Heal won't bring her mind back to normal as well."

Nikolai whispers to Pru, "You don't happen to have a Magnificent Prison do you? Under the circumstances that would be better, huh?"
When Commander Constance begins to revive and ask questions, Nikolai is in a quandary on how to answer. But he is the Thumb, so he figures he'd better answer, something. "Your fear of this dragon is alarming. However, if we DID kill the dragon, what would that mean for you? What hold did this dragon have over you? What was his name?"

Anna waits for the commander to answer Nikolai's question. She thinks his reaction seems a bit harsh and she is worried about the fact the dragon is at large too but if the possibility exists that the commander has been compromised then they need to figure out what to do in that case too. She hopes the commander hasn't been and that the dragon isn't raining acid down on Wedding City but she is really worried."

Commander Palance is still a bit disoriented, but she doesn't show any signs of evil under Sigvar's scrutiny.
I see why you're concerned. And yes, I was not myself for a while. There is a longer story for you, but the short of it is that he cast a spell to dominate my mind to carry me off and set this trap. Once here, that pretense was gone, and I was so weak from poison as to put up no resistance.
He claims to be Slartanus, but if he is the same Dragon as from your earlier reports, something has greatly accelerated his growth and power since you fought him last. He doesn't fit down here, obviously, but from what I could tell as he flew me over, he has some sort of lair secreted among the trees on top of the cliff. It wouldn't surprise me if he had gone back there to lick his wounds before facing you again.

Sigvar is ready to fight right now, and like the others, his buffing spells are slowly ticking down. However, many of the Agents are down on resources right now. To fight now? Or hope he will still be in his lair after a rest?
There have been a couple other prisoners in and out of here, but most have been put to work or taken away for some other purpose. As far as I know, I'm the only one here right now.

If he finds any he will scan then for evil and if none is found, cut them out of their cell to teleport out. Once they are in wedding city he will go down to the market and purchase a sword for the commander ( I assume we know what kind she uses regularly) and bring it back to her room so she is not left unarmed (no one would ever call her defenseless).

But if the group would rather she take Palance back to town, and get her a room at the inn, she'll do that instead, and make sure the commander is well situated and Sigvar buys her a sword and everything.

We can get a sword from one of the dead duergars if the commander needs one. Let's take a minute and make sure we are ready to face the dragon.

The Agents are finally organized after their trip through the duergar caves. Palance is safely tucked away with a stockpile of magic items from their slain foes in a mansion. This both protects her and saves on some of Pru's quickly diminishing spell slots, which she'll need to take on their draconic foe.
Sigvar has been ready for what seems like ages, so other than taking a break, he spends his time squeezing slowly back through the tunnels to the entrance, encountering no resistance along the way. All the duergar are either dead or fled. Anna follows along in her dragon form, and hopes that someone can give her some resistance as well, since she'll likely be up close and personal and in the way of acid breath.
Trayvin spends his breather making sure everyone is topped up and ready to go while Pompous checks his gear.
Everyone gets their last minute buffs prepared while Michael and Nikolai squeeze quickly through to the entrance. They get to the entrance and spend a moment deciding the best way to scale the cliff and begin their search. please roll stealth and perception/tracking, plus whomever else may be joining at this stage.

Sneaky and Perceptive is Michaels middle name. but this is a dragon, so cockiness is contraindicated at this point in time. invisibility would be nice, but knowing a dragon, he's probably prepared for that.

Nikolai assures Anna that he can help her resist acid. "I'll cast it when we are all outside, it will only last 20 minutes though."
Nikolai lets his eyes adjust to the outside for a moment before he starts working his way up the cliff. At least he does not have to worry about slippery hand holds this time. He hopes he has plenty of rope though.

The trees and underbrush are almost unnaturally thick on top to the bluffs. However, Nikolai's training and Michael's sheer aura of slipperiness guide them through. Anyone else would likely need to cut their way in or fly overtop to get there.
It is difficult to see anything, but an errant ray of sun strikes what must be an enormous amount of coinage in a deep depression on the forest floor. This can only be the dragon's lair - and he must be nearby. Fee, Fie, Foe, Felf, I smell the blood of halfling and elf!
The dragon's voice rings through the forest, and Nikolai's trained eyes can catch hints of scales coiling around the trees. One tree begins to move as its trunk splits into dendritic eyes and mouth. knowledge arcana dc30 Highlight to display spoiler: {old green dragons are able to awaken up to 4 treants a day, and conceal themselves in natural terrain, even if too large to normally allow such}
It looks Slartanus knows you are here, but has not precisely pinpointed you. He's harder to see among the trees than you would think, but Nikolai is too keen on the forest to be fooled.

With Michael and the Rangers giving precise locations over the bond, you're able to skim low over the trees to get into optimal position, just out of sight. Half+ of the team is in position - Pru is casting again to get the others battle mobile.
Meanwhile, a second tree pulls up its roots and begins to threaten the area.

Instead of Sigvar, then, Pru starts with Trayvin, since having the cleric available is probably a good thing. Then she casts Fly on herself, then looks around for anybody else who needs it.

Now that their forces gathered to finally rid the Wold of the Slartanus menace once and for all, Sigvar leads the charge to begin the assault, engaging before he has time to summon any more reinforcements.
The rest of the Agents follow after, eager to have done with the beast that has terrorized them, their commander, and the countryside for far too long.
As Sigvar flies in to engage, Slartanus' scaly neck shoots out and his jaws snap down (AoO for 43 damage). Then, the holy sword connects, but Sigvar can tell that he just barely got through the beast's scaly hide.

Glug, glug, glug. The Cats grace potion has subtle hints of cilantro and ammonia. Bulls strength tastes of salty beef stew and Shield of Faith is harsh like cheap whiskey going down, but with a refreshing wintergreen aftertaste.
Ready when you guys are, I can run out and draw aggro, I'm figuring he'll try the breath weapon and I can prolly dodge it that may let you all get close, well except for the Treants...hmmm..might need to rethink this I wonder if he would use a breath weapon on his own minions. Eh..he's evil, they probably don't mean that much to him. even if he doesn't I might be able to draw the Treants away while you all deal with the Dragon. Then you can come to save me cute little tushie from becoming plant food. let's call that plan A.
Plan B. we all of us ground pounders, screen for Pompous, Pru, and Sigvar. let them get in close and unleash hell on the dragon. then come back and help us take out the Treants.
Plan C. Draw the Treants out and defeat them in detail, and hope the dragon doesn't come to the rescue. fighting withdraw if you will.
Plan D. everybody just charge and hope for the best. I think we can all the problems with that one.

Trayvin has entered the fray! With his positioning, it looks like he can give his aura's benefits to Anna, Michael, and Pru, possibly Pompous as well.
Pompous, electing to stay on the ground at the moment, is mostly stymied by the undergrowth that's giving cover to Slartanus (unless he has some feature to get around that?) He does get one lucky shot off that somehow manages to wend its way around trees and vines to pierce the scaly hide.
Michael spends a round spinning battle plans through the telepathic link, but all good soldiers know that any plan will start coming to pieces once battle has commenced. It seems like Plan D at the moment.
Nikolai drinks up and compares the taste to Michael's potions and Anna brings some good draconic energy to the field.
Enemy Turn Slartanus just growls under his breath at the Minotaur in front of him, which he might recognize as a spell, but probably doesn't. Anna may be close enough to hear though. Defensive Cast success Spellcraft 18 Highlight to display spoiler: { Displacement - all attacks have 50% miss chance}
Sigvar finds himself battered by tree limbs as the treants crash through him where he hovers. 25 and 20 damage, reflex save DC25 for half damage on each. You can make an AoO on one of them with a -4 if you choose

Reflex saves 28 and 17 so 32 damage taken. Sigvar again swiftly lays on hands 33 damage healed AoO misses nat 1 He then flies up and over the dragon , provoking an AoO from everything around him, hopefully allowing his fistmates access to the dragon's flank. He then Vital strikes the dragon. He tries to hover above(?) the reach of the Treants once on the other side. Vital strike hits AC 46 for 43 damage +2 holy +4 flaming (74% miss, so hit)

Michael grins and moves out from behind cover. activating his celestial armor to fly in the straightest possible route to the Dragon.
fly 60' not sure if you can "run" while flying. but if you can then Michael is going 240'.
Michael does this as a full round action. Trying to close the distance to the Dragon while avoiding the Treants. success is weighted towards reaching the dragon, 2nd is avoiding the treants. so fi I have to fly through treants to reach the dragon I will, if I can avoid the treants and still reach the dragon I will.
since this is a full round action. I will attack next round.

Sigvar is just taunting Slartanus now. He feels confident zipping around the trees, since they're normal attacks have only the slightest chance of connecting. Even Slartanus seems confused by the flying minotaur, since his great jaws only close upon air. please mind the spoilers though - no one actually id'd the spell
Michael and Trayvin and Nikolai keep getting into position, while Pru lights up the sky with a tremendous blast of lightning, punching through Slartanus' defenses. The treants take damage too, slightly reduced for natural reasons.
Anna zooms in and does a chomp of her own, and connects mightily! Only it's with an image of Slartanus about 2 feet removed from the real thing.
Pompous decides to fly up, since it's too hard shooting through the trees.
Enemy Turn
It seems that Slartanus does not like enemies at his back, and unleashes his full fury on Sigvar, scoring 5 out of 6 strikes of tooth, tail, wing, and claw. AC 46, 42, 45, 50, 39 32, 29, 24, 18, 32 damage (135 total)

Pru frowns a little when she realizes that the treants have a natural defense to electricity. Still, the spell seems pretty effective, so she casts it again.
Chain Lightning again, same targets. SR check 38. Damage is 58, DC 23/21 Reflex save for half.
Now with an unobstructed view of the dragon... Pompous fires again....

The Paladin, Sigvar, His teammate, and his Friend has drawn the Dragon's full attention towards himself. a Foolhardy action if ever there was one. Michael is on the dragons 6 like a shot. The Treants blows do not stay him and like an arrow he flys towards the wym killing his friend. Michael has studied dragon anatomy and knows the the lungs and lots of jucy veins are positioned near the spine. so Michael lands on his back, between his wings and goes to work. he just prays he is in time to keep Sigvar from visiting Gargul.

Pompous is having no luck today. Even his lucky shots are finding the fake double dragon.
Pru isn't phased at all though and keeps her lightning striking most effectively. Sigvar too, even being on his last legs, manages a strike that practically severs one of the dragon's legs!
Trayvin focuses on taking down the dragon's spell defenses (need an SR check from you though).
Anna shows that she can do that same trick, but between the armor and the spell (that may be dispelled), none of her blows connect.
Michael, suddenly in the middle of the fray and full of concern for his large friend leaps gracefully onto the Dragon's back . gonna ignore your acrobatics other than flavour, because unless you use a hero point, the jump would take your move action and you would only get a single attack). You could hit him from where you were though, so let me know how you want to play it. A flurry of stabs later, Slartanus' spinal column is severed in several places and his wings flop around weakly before he collapses down, bleeding out.
Nikolai, ever practical, knows that the fight isn't quite over, since the Treants are somewhat dangerous in their own right. One was blinded when it hit Michael, but he manages to zip under its thrashing branches and cut it down, and it turns back into just a normal tree leaking some singed sap.
The second treant, though blind, manages to connect once on Trayvin through some wild flailing, but it is not much longer for this world. 16 damage, 80% connects
well done - without those good SR rolls and some crits, that could have been a much different story

OOC: I had Activated the Fly SLA on his Celestial Armor, it wasn't so much jumping on his back it was ending the move phase on his back with style. I was unsure of the distance represented on the map and also if 60" fly speed had a "run" component to it. which would have made it 240" I'll take whatever gets the dragon dead and Sigvar alive. I guess I should have moved my sprite on the round before last. but not knowing fly or distance I felt it was better to let the DM do it. I'll just use the Hero Point.
Michael had more "feel" with his rapier. The thin blade transmitted what was happening along its path better than a thicker sword. but standing on a Dragons back....his bare feet tell him all he needs to know though. There is first a ripple of tension in the muscles, from the pain of impact, then as the spinal column parts it all relaxes, then as blood pressures drops and the body is starved for what the blood gives it, a tremor runs through the body, first fast and weak but as the process evolves, slower but more powerful. feeling it through his feet, the experience is strong and strangely personal. he puts his hand on the Dragon and bows his head. Gargul, I've sent many a creature to your lands of rest, and I've tried to only send the ones to you who were a danger to the peace of the world. Please take this magnificent creature into your embrace, explain to him that I had no choice in the matter, he had left me none. Still, I would not have taken such beauty and majesty from the world had i another choice.

The treant is well and truly gone, especially now that Pru had exploited its weakness to fire. But it feels good for the rest of them to vent their fury, breathing cold, slicing, striking, and making sure that the tree won't get up again.
If the dragon is faking, he's doing an awfully good job with the not breathing aspect. You're pretty sure that he won't be kidnapping anyone or starting cults ever again.
Once your breathing has slowed, you have the chance to assess the truly staggering pile of wealth that his body had been coiled around. There are litereally hundreds of thousands of coins of all denominations, and while there are some empty potion bottles that would seem to indicate his battle preparations, there are several more stones, jewelry, and arms that light up under magic detecting eyes. Not to mention the trove of items that they didn't have time to strip off the elite team they defeated back in the caves.

Michael looks over the Huge dragon and the Huge amount of Wealth
Guys...I'm at a loss. I think I'm going to need to buy some extra-large bags of holding to fit all this stuff. I'm also afraid to waste any of the dragon. I don't want to do a ham-handed job flensing the skin from its bones, but I also feel it's a waste to let it all go to rot.
I'll tell you what. I'ma take about 20k gp and go to the Catacombs, buy 2 type IV bags of holding, that should do for the treasure. while I'm there I'll see if they can spare a crew to come to take possession of the Dragon carcass. I'm certain we will get good value for it and they should know how to properly prepare it for whatever we want to do with it. unless anybody has any other plans at the moment?

Nikolai sits back and wonders if it really is over. Over with this dragon's fixation, that is. But true indeed, the green dragon that had bit off more than it could chew, and bit off more than it could chew again, and again, is finally dead.
"We can always use a couple of extra bags of Holding, so I go along with your idea, Michael."
Then he sighs and adds, "As far as the dragon hide, we can't just cut into it. We'll ruin it. That's what I've heard. It takes special skill at skinning to be able to get the most out of it. We probably have someone in our Citadel Town that could do that, a Master Butcher. Meanwhile, he could also make use of the bones and other organs, as any decent mage guild would probably pay a good price for those items. We'll have to do some marketing AND keep those parts from rotting. Got any good preservations spells?"

Sigvar looks to Prudence. " The commander will probably want to return home ASAP, couldn't you port the dragon along with her back to the Citadel? That would solve the issue of getting the person that can skin it to the body."
DM Warren - MAP Monday January 11th, 2021 3:49:50 PM
Most of the crew is exhausted after several fights back to back, culminating in a fight that almost ripped the normally impervious Sigvar to pieces. Luckily, Pru left them a safe spot to rest back in the caves with the Commander.
Michael and Nikolai show their practicality by scooping up a few armfuls of coin and procuring some bags they can use to bring back the rest of the treasure (not to mention the darkwood they left back in the forest on the way here).
Trayvin does know of a simple spell to prevent the body from deteriorating until they can get it back to the Citadel for a competent butcher can harvest the useful parts. Dragon materials are exceedingly rare though, so it will be dodgy going for even the most skilled artisan. Unless they act quickly too, they will lose out on harvesting any dragon humours. They can watch the blood dripping onto the forest floor, where it is quickly revitalizing the flora broken during the battle.
Dragon hoard:

"The Teleport spell is basically for people and the stuff they're carrying," Pru explains. "The only way I'm teleporting the dragon carcass is if somebody picks it up and holds it."
She eyes Sigvar. He's pretty strong. But she doesn't think he can pick up a full-grown dragon.

Michael scoops up a little over 20k worth of gold and pockets it.
I'll be back in a bit.
He stops and does some quick figuring.... 860,000 gp....that's about 17,200 lbs of gold. I think a type iv can hold about 1,500 lbs. two bags aren't going to get it all. we will need at least 12 bags to hold all this. 13 if for all the items. that's 120 to 130,000gp in its own right. just buying the bags is going to reduce the number of bags we need by one. but if we leave this stuff here its going to walk off if we leave it alone. Heck even if we go with wagon and mules this is going to take close to 25 wagons. 110 mules 27 droves and probably 100 troopers to guard the load. it would be easier to just get the BOH, but it's probably going to more than quadruple our cost vs wagons.

The COMMANDER of the MAILED FIST sits a few hundred feet away and there are no less than a dozen reputable churches within an easy walks distance. Commander Palance could easily walk into those churches and ask for a writ for an amount of money and have the church drive a few carts up here to pick it up. At a later time we simply call in those vouchers, likely in the catacombs who are quite likely to have the means to move large sums of gold easily. We would need to clean up the magic Items and any loose gems that we do not wish the churches to make off with and them simply check their math when they happen by to pick up the amount on their voucher. Based on the fact that the DEAD DRAGON lies within sight of the pile they are drawing from and they will know that WE killed it I doubt there will be any dispute we can not clear up without even raising our voices. " "Something we need to settle in our minds and in our demeanor very quickly is that we are in a pretty exclusive club right now. We just faced and defeated a Great Wyrm dragon in close combat. In less than 30 seconds, the dragon went from 'Rawr I am being worshiped as a god' to 'I am lying dead on the ground feeding daisies'." " Let that sink in. " "The Mailed Fist's asking price for the Agents to help someone out just went up. We as a Fist could probably come close to floating the Fist's coffers with our contracts, and there are hundreds of soldiers in the Fist that are looking up to us right now and will grow up to BE us in a few short years.

DM Warren - Slartanus feeds the Daisies Wednesday January 13th, 2021 5:24:03 PM
The Agents stand around a bit trying to figure out how to successfully monetize the colossal sized dragon. Any method will have its pitfalls. Anna quickly spritzes the corpse so it won't decompose.
Michael suggests doing some trips with some new bags of hauling. Pru starts stretching her magical muscles again in preparation for a bunch of teleports. It only remains to see who will stay behind to watch the loot.
Nikolai rearranges the body a bit to prevent the loss of more precious fluids. There are also several empty potion bottles about to catch some of the drips. they will have to ask the catacombs about dragon harvesting if they don't figure out a way to get it home. because the DM doesn't know if the catacombs does services like that!
Sigvar, who needs the cash more than anything else, hopes for a method that won't eat into the value. In a destination town of so many reputable churches though, he's sure you can find one that can provide a writ for the amount of coinage, though you would expect them to take some amount of tithing for the service. Even better though, they've added a huge, bolded item to their resume, and expects that they shouldn't have any financial woes ever again.
Commander Palance, on her part, is ready to go home and have a nice hot soak in the comfort of her chambers.

Pru can bring three people with her on a Teleport. She has enough spellcasting left to make multiple trips back to the Citadel.
She does not, however, have enough to bring her companions one at a time, so she waits until three people are standing still enough for her to grab, and brings them. Then she returns and repeats the process. (Sigvar counts as two people.) Eventually, the only people left in the cave are the ones who want to remain there. The Mansion is available to anybody who wants to rest.

Nikolai offers to stay and guard the treasure and dragon body. "Sorry Anna, but a corps is not an object. It is still flesh and blood and bones, even though the life force is now gone. On the other hand, if you could turn it into stone, then it would be an object. Repair it, then turn it back into flesh. That might work. Don't think that's ever been done before. I'd want to try it on a bug first." Nikolai grins. Then he adds, "Stay here with me and help guard the place. If you'd like, go ahead and look like the Commander, however I don't think anyone of the cult will want to bother us. The cult was based upon Slartanus' influence and promises. Now that he is gone, the purpose and motivation of the cult is gone. But, never hurts to remain cautious and vigilant." He adjusts his Hat of Disguise to look like their Commander. "This is just too weird. I just don't feel like a woman," then adjusts back to his normal self.
[b]'We will probably be needing those extra bags of holding in the future anyway, so go to the Catacombs and get what you need, Michael. I don't want to get any church here involved. It might create some tension between the faiths if we showed some favoritism. I also rather not proclaim too loudly that we killed a dragon. A good reputation never hurts, but dragons of the chromatic types might take it as a challenge to take us on. Yes, we brought this one down, but I don't want to have to do this every other day either."

OOC: at this rate, it will take a month just to decide who's going back with Pru and who's staying. Unless there's some other plot about this area, I'd rather just jump ahead and get this over with. We know that given a day's time we can have enough normal chests from the Citadel here via teleport, to get all the stuff back. Maybe two days. At worse three? why piddle around discussing who might or might not be coming around to check things out? whoever does, those staying behind to watch can take care of them.
IC:"Pru, Take the Commander back with Pompous Trayvin and Sigvar. Get some chests from the quartermaster and come back. We'll do that until we have everything, including the dragon carcass, back at the Citadel. At Wedding City there's bound to be a Master Butcher, given all the wedding feasts they have here. Michael and I will go look for one to get the hide and inner parts of the dragon. We'll also pick up some big jars to hold the heart, blood, liver, whatever.

OOC I agree with Nikolai.
IC Sigvar posts up in the lair and starts bandaging his wounds. I will stick around and keep an eye out for looters. You guys do what we need to to get things moving. He will put on or pocket as many of the magic items as he can so that they do not wander off (also so thieves can't get past his miserable perception score). All in all go get done what needs doing and Sigvar will hold down the , um, lair.
OOC2 From what I read, the Catacombs does nothing with dragon bits dragon hide or anything to do with dragons. All of that needs to be done in game and in character. While dragon armor might be great, even a colossal dragon can't be made into plate for a large creature by the Wolds rules so really it is useless to me. A shield is meh resistance so not worth dumping my own highly magiced shield for. I suggest we keep it and further the knowledge of the Fist as a whole with it or see if someone from another organization like the Wizard's college wants it. Overall it is pretty underwhelming for such a tough creature to beat, but it is what it is.
Did this bump us near a level up?
DM Warren - Slartanus feeds the Daisies Friday January 15th, 2021 10:59:28 AM
Between your guard rotations and Pru's teleport trips, all the loot is guarded safely until it can be brought back to the Citadel. Pru bring the Commander back first, along with a couple of her fistmates, all their arms loaded with as much booty as they can hold.
The staff at the Citadel may be used to seeing Pru pop in to the teleportation area by now, but it's not usually accompanied by multitudes of coins spilling out in every direction.
The commander stumbles into the arms of her pages, who immediately begin helping her to her quarters, while Pru has to ward off a million questions so she can go about her business. She commands the Citadel staff to clear the circle, since there will be more people and loot coming. She also thinks to bring back the archivist and master leatherworker on one trip to assess the dragon for useful components. Between the assortment of things that Michael and Nikolai procured, there's enough chests and jars and bags to bring the pieces back home.
After all that, they're going to need a long rest. There are forms and reports to prepare, but the Commander won't be wanting to see those for a while, not until she's had the chance to recover herself.
Everyone go ahead and level up to 17. Congratz!
Also, I do agree that the amount of hide is a little silly. If you're the only one interested in the dragon armor, I'm gonna see if I can swing it so you can. If more people are interested, you'll need to decide amongst yourselves how to split it up.
Prudence Gundle [AC 23; HP 124/124] Friday January 15th, 2021 3:34:30 PM
Pru makes sure everyone is safely teleported from the dragon's lair, and the loot is safely stashed someplace safe. Then she heads off for a bath and a nap.

OOC I am not that interested in it, but thank you. I am leaning more towards what I can do to mitigate damage right now and that looks like selling my current armor and buying adamantite, again. I did want to see if maybe Sigvar could trade his current magical armor into the citadel to get an equivelently priced, lower plus adamantite armor for it though. IC WHen Sigvar returns to the Citadel he adjourns to his room and peels the damaged and acid spattered remains of his armor off and after donning a robe, heads to the baths and then to the medics. He knows that he could use Gargul's power that the God of death has invested in him to heal his wounds, but there are healers at the hospital that may never see wounds like these again. Let them hone their skill and make the Mailed Fist that much stronger, besides, he has the time to let the wounds heal while he plots how to improve his kit for the next mission. Commander Palance will need to come up with something special to top fighting an elder wyrm and it's minions, but the Wold is a dangerous place, surely she has jobs tough enough.

Nikolai is glad to finally be back with their commander in one piece. He is worried though. This could happen again, and again, and again, and again, and....
He has lost confidence in the ability of their commander. How could she have been dominated? How are they to prevent such a thing happening again? Could she be dominated to take the Mailed Fist into another war?
A lot of questions and no answers.
For the time being, things will go back to normal, but it won't be the same. If Commander Palance will divulge how this happened, they can work on preventing it from happening again. Or try to. But their enemies will know that if it can happen once, it can happen again.
Just a year ago this would not have happened. Slartanus would NEVER have tried something like this against the old Mailed Fist. But now, anyone with a vendetta against the Mailed Fist can copy-cat what Slartanus did.
With those thoughts, Nikolai gets cleaned up and starts on writing up their report.

since 17500lbs / 4000 = 4.375 lbs of gold shrunk, he has more than enough room in the bag for all the magic items as well. he starts looking at the Dragon.
maybe if we turn it to stone? eh.. let's get it to the Citadel then we can figure it out.
a shrink charge later and the dragon is in the bag.
cu/ft of gold loose jumble 36,108, 10cu/ft bags 361,080 839000/361,080 = 3 charges of the Shrink wand. +1 for the dragon. =4.
I make sure all the swords, spears and arrows, and daggers are in scabbard and quivers or have something tied around the heads so that they won't puncture the bag. I have 50 extra-large sacks 47 after the gold is all put up that I can use for padding. I even make sure the dragon's claws are padded and its jaws tied shut. then richer than a Fargunian lord, Michael retires to the mansion to await Pru and the teleport to the Citadel.

[Pru does make sure that all people and loot have been transported back to the Citadel before she goes for her bath.]

Anna makes sure she has everything in order with the citadel before taking her leave for her pilgrimage and 2 days of meditation in a sacred grove. All she needs is a sunny grove and she is good not needing to eat or sleep or anything.

OOC: I saw some things that Nikolai might be able to make use of. I'll look over the loot list again tomorrow.
IC: Nikolai, cleaned up, heads to the Last Assignment for a bit of liquid that will strengthen his quill fingers for the report, as it will be quite a long one.

SIgvar sits down and starts to work on his gear and what he would need for the catacombs.
DM Warren - Slartanus feeds the Daisies Tuesday January 19th, 2021 3:24:56 PM
Sigvar gladly takes some spa time, and donates his body to science for a couple of days. Who knows what the medics will come up with? (I don't see why the fist couldn't accommodate trading in your armor for one of equal price. I see that as being consistent with the weapon trade)
Anna takes the time to get her head right, asking Pru for assistance to visit a grove for a few days of quiet contemplation.
Nikolai begins his reporting, but knows that the Fist has to learn from this experience. How can they prevent it happening again? The Fist can't afford to have its commander be vulnerable like this.
Pompous, not really needing to recover from any serious wounds, takes pencil to notepaper. He seems to be designing some mysterious trap or other. And is that an ACME order form?
Trayvin check in on the commander for a checkup. She's still not really feeling up to visitors, but she knows she has to show that she's improving. Trayvin determines that she's healing as well as can be expected, the poison damage is a thing of the past, and there is no outside influence on her.
Michael tidies up all the loot as Pru performs several trips back and forth. She may need to take a rest to recover spell slots before she gets it all, but she gets it all in the end. She finally is able to kick off her shoes and take a good long soak.
Everyone goes over the gear in some free time. There's lots of gold to go around, and probably some nice finds that someone is going to want to keep. But like good mercenaries and adventurers, their thoughts are always on upping their game for the next epic fight. Q has put it all in the vaults for storage until it is claimed or sold, and Michael certainly enjoys his time in and out, maybe even making excuses to see the plucky quartermaster a few more times than is absolutely necessary.
anything else that you're looking to do in your downtime?
Prudence Gundle [AC 23; HP 124/124] Tuesday January 19th, 2021 4:53:26 PM
Pru does not need to rest and recover spells in order to get everybody back. She is a sorcerer, and high-level sorcerers are simply lousy with spell slots.
She spends her down time relaxing. A few times, she thinks about writing her family, but somehow she can't muster a lot of enthusiasm. She realizes she has a new family now, and they are all right here.
Trayvin AC 33/15 touch Hp 126/161(BrianZ) Tuesday January 19th, 2021 7:51:40 PM
Trayvin spends the downtime checking in on the various officers at the Citadel, making sure they are performing as expected but mostly focused on keeping morale high.
He sends a few letters and minor gifts to his family.

I'm cool with my armor at present. but I think we need a taxidermied dragon head in the Agent's quarters!
also now that we have some downtime. let's buy a herd of cattle and head out to where those Griffons were. lets see if we can entice them into Fist Service. We might be better served by teleports and such now, but I still think they should be in Fist service for the next groups who shall come on.

Anna spends time in the grove reflecting on the dragon cult pretending to be Ma'ab and Eberyon and how he repented and also comes to gain 2 levels of cradled while being there. (OOC: I'll add the second level soon)
Nikolai (JonathanT) AC 32 Tch 30 Ffted 29 HP 95/111 CMD 39/41(Grapple/Trip/Disarm) Wednesday January 20th, 2021 12:39:23 AM
Nikolai writes up his report but does not hand it in, yet. He pays a visit to his commander to see how she is doing.
"Commander, it is good to see that you are recovering. Although it may be a bit to ask, in order for me to finish my report, I need your account. I need to know how all this happened, and anything you can remember from your imprisonment. It is best to put all that down while it is fresh on your mind, even if painful to relive the events. The report will not be complete without it."
DM Warren - Slartanus feeds the Daisies Wednesday January 20th, 2021 3:11:12 PM
The Agents continue to go about the more mundane tasks that have built up around the Citadel. There's shopping for bling, armor, cattle, talk of crafting a ceremonial set of dragon-hide leather for Commander Palance, and catching up on relationships with the officers, recruits, and retainers that make the Fist function.
Nikolai has been doing his job as thumb, and now comes to the least pleasant part. He searches for Commander Palance in her office, but doesn't find her there. Asking around with her pages, he eventually comes to find that she is in contemplation on a bench outside the chapel.
It was only a matter of time, right? I guess I've had enough of a chance to recover. Back to business, right!?
She still looks a bit strained. As much as Nikolai is concerned, Palance is probably moreso regarding her own role in these matters.
If one thing is to be learned, don't let anyone patrol by themselves, even if you think you're not straying far enough from the walls of the Citadel to be in danger. If only I'd had backup, this whole mess could have been avoided.
It was one day beyond the walls, I was out to enjoy to fresh air and sunshine. There was an attractive young man out as well. I didn't think much of it, but he seemed harmless enough, and quite charming. Little did I know, this was really the Dragon in disguise. He beguiled me, with his natural wiles, and then magical compulsion. We kept meeting in secret while he learned more and more about me and the Agents in particular. It seems that even I didn't know more much stronger you had grown. Lucky thing too, or likely he would have waited until he had more overwhelming forces at his disposal.
The time in the dungeon is mostly a blur though.
Prudence Gundle [AC 23; HP 124/124] Wednesday January 20th, 2021 6:07:29 PM
Pru tests out her new powers. She can now summon an elder fire elemental, whom she nicknames Scorchy.
Sigvar Ironhorn (David F) AC 37 (T 14, FF 35) CMD 37 HP 74 / 185 Character Sheet Wednesday January 20th, 2021 7:49:15 PM
Sigvar goes to see the soldier that watches over the Fist's Armory portal and checks to see that he would be able to exchange his +4 armor and +4 shield for +3 Mithril armor and a +3 Mithril shield. If this is doable he proceeds and does so. Michael shows up and gives Sigvar the news on his Split and the Paladin starts the rest of his work to decide what items the catacombs holds that he needs. He also agrees that the head needs to be mounted.
Trayvin AC 33/15 touch Hp 126/161(BrianZ) Wednesday January 20th, 2021 7:57:30 PM
Trayvin works with the Citadel's priests, teaching them some of what he has learned over the past few months.
Pompous (Yves_B) AC 31/ SR 20 CMD 30, HP 170/170/ Wednesday January 20th, 2021 8:41:42 PM
Pompous sits in the Catacombs waiting to be served. He's really looking forward to getting some new swaggy swag.
Anna Morphling (Hugh C) -- HP 173/173 (75 con bonus) -- 48/18/43 CMD: 41 Thursday January 21st, 2021 1:09:57 AM
If it has been 2 days Anna returns, if not Anna keeps meditating on Eberyon and Ma'ab
Nikolai (JonathanT) AC 32 Tch 30 Ffted 29 HP 95/111 CMD 39/41(Grapple/Trip/Disarm) Thursday January 21st, 2021 1:11:56 AM
Nikolai listens patiently. She has all the right to find an attractive mate and fall in love. However not telling anyone about the affair jeopardized the Mailed Fist.
"I thank you for your honesty. I don't think the report needs to detail your time imprisoned. Most importantly is how this happened. Everyone will agree that one's love affair is a private matter, as the Commander of the Mailed Fist, your have responsibilities to the Mailed Fist that do indeed make such matters our concern. There is no need to be ashamed or embarrassed being seen with one you've found true love."
Nikolai wishes her a speedy recovery and returns to his quarters to finish up the report. He'll next take a look at their loot. He is particularly interested in the Eyes of the Eagle and Pale Green Ioun Stone.

Michael returns from the Catacombs. he gives everyone their split. (you should have received and email to that effect yesterday.
he makes his way around the citadel, Domi it seems like they have been gone for years. but it's actually only been a few days. he drops by the last assignment and has meal and a beer. he talks with old companions and gets the skinny on what's going on in the Mailed Fist.
Sigvar Ironhorn (David F) AC 37 (T 14, FF 35) CMD 37 HP 74 / 185 Character Sheet Thursday January 21st, 2021 8:28:19 AM
Sigvar heads to the quartermaster's office to chat with Q about the mounts that she can acquire that are large enough to carry him without being sqooshed by his weight. He stops by the cafeteria and gets some mugs, a pot of tea and a pie to bring with him. Pie almost always makes people happy and a happy quartermaster might be able to get him a better mount than a harried quartermaster, or at least he hopes so.
