Ramirez (BrianZ) AC32/20/25 HP 122/122 CMD32 Wednesday July 5th, 2023 6:08:57 PM I'm not sure if I do trust him. Let's stay focused on what we came here for. I wonder if all the creatures here are making treasure hoards? No wonder they all attack each other on sight.

Hmerrin (MikeK)(HP 217/217 AC:32 T:19 FF:28 CMD:41) Wednesday July 5th, 2023 6:09:25 PM
"Lines up with what I was thinking, so yes," Hmerrin answers. The healed fighter (Thanks Nira) heads back over to the pile and picks up as many gemstones as his haversack can handle.
Gaffer - Courtney - HP: 159/159 AC: 32(T:16/FF:25) CMD:39) Wednesday July 5th, 2023 10:39:53 PM
Irblis' words also imply that killing the downed Cyclopes would reveal more treasure, but Gaffer isn't inclined to point that out for the moment.
"So when we saw the wolf die, that creature that appeared was chasing their treasure threads... We should get out of here sharpish then?"

Nira looks at the gemstones that Hmerrin is collecting. "If creatures are so set on chasing treasure here then perhaps we can even use gems like that as a distraction. Get creatures to chase those instead of chasing us?"
She checks to see if the gems continue to have a gold thread above them once they've been collected by Hmerrin.
Fae Skiemir - DM Dan K Thursday July 6th, 2023 9:10:16 AM
He's fully trusted, but the feeling is probably mutual and Irblis scampers over one of the makeshift roadblocks and disappears from view. Hmerrin accepts that the treasure is there for the taking and starts taking. Specifically culling through the large pile and grabbing gemstones. In the first few minutes he figures out there is a good amount of objects buried in the coins, a Cloak, Trident, Bracers and likely more. He has found a Pink and Green stone, several rubies the size of a gamblers die, and a sapphire and white gold ring. Nira adds the thought that is the occupants of Fae Skiemir are so obsessed with treasure, might it be a means of distraction as well.
The scale in Dankos hand gives a faint pulse and grows warm, puling towards the a partially collapsed building at the back of the square

Hmerrin looks up and notes Dez and Danko are already moving out.
With a grimace, he stashes away the magic items, rubies, sapphire, and ring.
After taking all the time that he can, he trots toward the party, aiming to reach the front of that collapsed building just ahead of them. [Perception 40 to grab some good stuff]

Gaffer looks ahead and sizes up the building from a higher vantage. "I bet I could make winds enough to clear the rest of the building away. It's not something you get to try much at home."

Nira looks upwards, specifically to see if there are any of those golden trails above the party. If there are, then stealth may not be an option.
She's not sure how she feels about walking into the partially collapsed building. It just feels like being outside has advantages in this place. Still, if that's where the crystal is then that's where they have to go.

Fae Skiemir Tight spaces- DM Dan K Friday July 7th, 2023 4:17:36 PM
Hmerrin shovels quickly and scores a good bit by dodging coins. Cloak of Resistance +5; Bracers of Armor +5; Ring of Protection +3; Pink and Green Ion Stone +2 Cha; Trident of Fish Command; Gold and Emerald necklace worth 10k Nira has only noticed a gold bead appear upon the death of a creature and her magically enhanced senses does not see any such beads about any of The Tide. Gaffer contemplates debris removal, and could probably get some, but he notes, many of the blocks and stones are several thousand of pounds in weight and it could cause further collapse. The druid then notes something rather extraordinary. Fine debris and cracks in the stone are disappearing! The building is repairing itself! Very slowly, but it is.
The Tide head into the building and the dragon scale leads deep into the collapse. The party winds along, squeezed, and forced into a single file. Climbing over debris, sliding on your bellies, the threat of cave-in is very real. For nearly an hour, you manuever along, the occasional groan of timber and stone beneath your feet, or above you head giving an adrenaline rushed pause. The scale eventually leads to a hole in the floor where a massive beam from above smashed through. The hole extends well beyond anyone's sight. Cool air can be felt stirring below and the sound of water, possibly a river can be heard below.
RobC - Nira Wynvyre -- AC 29/15/25 -- CMD 23 -- HP 122/122 -- DarkVision/ArcaneSight/SeeInvis Friday July 7th, 2023 10:23:16 PM
A big hole in the ground. This feels awfully similar to how the party first found Vyrmix, and it gives Nira an uncomfortable thought. "You know, we're taking his word that we're looking for a crystal. For all we know this scale is directing us to his brother and we're expected to help him break out of this place"
She casts a Dancing Lights spell and sends it down the hole as far as she can (up to 280ft).
Desdichado (Ryan) [HP:157/211; AC:32/15/30 - CMD 34] Friday July 7th, 2023 10:56:52 PM I hate this place, Desdichado thinks to himself, crawling on hands and knees, what are we in for next?
"That is a very good thought," he replies to Nira.
Hmerrin (MikeK)(HP 217/217 AC:32 T:19 FF:28 CMD:41) Saturday July 8th, 2023 1:10:47 PM
Hmerrin's good mood about the treasure haul fades rapidly during the long slow drag through the debris punctuated by occasional moments of terror as the building shifts above him.
He regards the big hole.
The fighter pulls out the Carpet of Flying, hoping it works in this place.
He glances over at Nira's comment and chuckles. "We can try going back without it and see if he'll take a carrot instead."

Gaffer isn't so bothered by the debris, he shapeshifts himself into a small air elemental to get through the smaller spaces and as they reach the hole, he peers inside and if he'll fit as something larger.
"I can give someone a couple hours of Air Walk if you're not clean on the carpet."

Ramirez is glad to be out of the tunnel. At least there's no cyclops coming down here.
Ramirez looks into the hole in the floor. Hmm I wonder if we could summon an elemental and have it scout for us. Not sure if that kind of magic will work here though.
Ramirez offers a feather fall spell if the group decides to jump in.

Danko activates his boots of levitation and steps off the edge into the hole.
Fae Skiemir Down in a Hole- DM Dan K Monday July 10th, 2023 9:37:32 AM
The deep hole gives Nira pause, could the dragon Vyrnix's crystal actually be a dragon to rescue from this city? The bloodwitch casts Dancing Lights and send it 280' down and only more darkness can be seen below. Hmerrin extracts the Flying Carpet As Gaffer and Ramirez contemplate summoning an Air elemental to scout, Danko speaks of pickles and steps off the ledge. Activating his wondrous Boots of Levitation, he starts floating towards Nira's Dancing Lights below...
At about 3' per second those topside have a bit to decide how they want to descend before Danko gets to the Dancing Lights at 280'
How are we descending and who's leading the fall, er..charge
Desdichado (Ryan) [HP:157/211; AC:32/15/30 - CMD 34] Monday July 10th, 2023 2:18:23 PM
Danko's slow descent reminds Desdichado that he also has some Boots of Levitation. He follows behind...er, above Danko on the way down.

Aaand people start jumping into the hole.
Hmerrin glances over at Nira, as everyone else seems to have their own way down.
Once all aboard who's coming aboard, the fighter manuevers the carpet so as to get ahead of...er, below Danko and company. He'll keep himself about 10' lower than everyone else.
Gaffer - Courtney - HP: 159/159 AC: 32(T:16/FF:25) CMD:39) Monday July 10th, 2023 7:29:28 PM "Reckless descent it is!"[/b]
Gaffer would be grinning if he could. He steps off the edge into the hole, wildshaping himself into a Huge Air Elemental as he falls, and following after Danko.

Nira takes one last look around to see if they're being followed, and then heads after Ram using her overland flight. She keeps the dancing lights at a distance to help lead the way.
As they descend she also keeps an eye on the walls. She heard running water, and that could mean a waterfall or something coming in from the sides and she'd prefer not to get wet.

Those in Levitation mode are considerably slower at 20' round than any of the other means. Hmerrin and Ramirez lead the way and the bard has a Dancing Lights spell about them to make it easy enough to see. Next is Gaffer, who nearly fills the entire hole as a Huge air elemental. Behind him are the levitation duo of Danko and Des and bringing up the rear, is Nira.
The sides of the hole for the first 100' are sublevels of the building above and eventually give way to what looks like an ancient tunnel system beneath the city. The scale continues to indicate a descent and so the party keeps going.
At 500' the first signs of water appear. A few natural rivelets running down the side of one of the now rock walls. Gaffer notes the telltale markers of what would be a massive burrowing creature having created this section of the shaft. Possibly the Linhorn seen earlier or some other as of yet unseen creature in the deep below the city.
At 800' the Shaft opens as you move through the ceiling of a natural cave that spreads out all around you and here is where the sound of the water that reached your ears above exits. The Dancing Lights are able to move and illuminate the ground below you, another 200' still, but in doing so, you see a fierce white water of a river flowing through this cavern and disappearing into a far wall.
You land 5 minutes after you started in a very large cavern. The river rushes along at your backs and the scale has increased in warmth substantially and is actually emitting a soft blue-white glow as it is swept before you. The Crystal must be quite close and away from the river.

Hmerrin rolls up and stows the Flying Carpet.

Ramirez sends his lights to the right and Nira does likewise to the left where they both quickly are able to define the width of the cave, varying around 150'. Stalactites and stalagmites hang high above and litter the ground and numerous large natural stone columns have formed. The right side of the cave has a large 10' high shelf running down it and to the left is a 20' high shelf. A deep groove, or gouge tears from left to right between the shelves creating a 10' deep natural trench.
Keeping the lights close enough to the walls to illuminate them in dim light, the pair push the magic lanterns further in...
At the very edge of Nira's light and her ability to see well in low light conditions, movement. A large black mass of...something is coming out of the deep dark of the cave and towards the party. It takes Nira's brain a moment or two to decipher what it is seeing. The huge thing is a horrid mass of barbed tentacles, glaring eyes, and gnashing teeth, twisting upon itself and reshaping into new forms.
A chaos beast of unheard of and unprecedented size.

Hmerrin drinks a potion and moves up, axes at the ready. Des draws his great axe and stands his ground waiting for the monster. Gaffer identifies the horror coming at the party and asks about the scale. The scale is increasing in warmth aand brighteness as the creature closes. Ramirez casts Haste affecting everyone and then begins an inspiring tune. Nira casts Reverse gravity and the beast floats upward and hangs oddly spinning mid air.

Des wonders, and given the reaction of the dragon scale he's right, if the Beast ate the crystal. Ramirez asks about opening up with arrows to take it down while its floating about. Gaffer acknowledges his readiness to engage. Gaffer casts Sunburst at the beast. The cavern glows temporarily and then the magic seems to flow into and be absorbed by the creature. Certainly not the expected affect. Nira lets everyone know the Beast will be right where it is for just under 2 minutes Danko too, is done with chaos magic and sprouts great leather wings from his back to do things the old fashioin way.

ira lets the others who cannot see, know what is going on with the beast Gaffer moves up to support Hmerrin Danko takes flight and moves up to Hmerrin as well Des moves forward and fires the crossbow, it strikes but bounces harmlessly off of the beast Hmerin fires multiple arrows hitting 5 times Ramirez brings the Dancing Lights closer allowing everyone to see the beast easily
The creature is essentially helpless and over the course of the next minute, Hmerrin puts another 40 some arrows into the beast and kills it. It lands with a splat

She then checks two things. First, is there a golden strand above the corpse of the monster. Second, whether the scale is still pointing at it.
She's keen to get out of this place.
Danko Pureheart (Yves) -- AC 26 (30) -- CMD 36 -- HP 132/132 Tuesday July 18th, 2023 6:25:27 AM

He does a quick lap of the cavern while Nira checks for the scale, making sure there isn't anything they've missed.

Hmerrin shakes out his arm. "It's a whole lot different than swinging the axe, for sure," he answers Gaffer. "But I do like 'Pinned to the Ceiling And Can't Fight Back' quite a bit. Nice teamwork all."
The fighter approaches with the others and recovers what arrows he can.
Like the others, he checks with Nira for the location of this crystal.
Fae Skiemir Down in a Hole DM Dan K Tuesday July 18th, 2023 5:46:23 PM
A golden bead does indeed appear above the Beast and glide off into the dark, but being a glowing golden bead, it is not hard to keep track of and seems to come to a rest about 350' away. The scale indicates the remains of the creature, leaving no question as to the location of the crystal.
Gaffer takes off and soon disappears from sight. He soars past the golden bead and deeper and deeper into the cave. As he passes, he can easily confirm a substantial pile of treasure where the bead hovers, almost seeming to call out to him. His vision only extends 60' in the black and the golden bead quickly recedes behind him. The cavern at this point, nearly 1,200 feet from the party has narrowed to 90' across as it tapers.
Back at the dead beast, Somewhere in the 1000's of ponds of amorphous flesh like mass, lies the crystal.
Ramirez (BrianZ) AC32/20/25 HP 122/122 CMD32 Tuesday July 18th, 2023 7:51:03 PM Ugh, what a mess. I guess we start digging? Ramirez gets out a dagger and starts cutting pieces off the beast to get to the crystal.

Nira will circle the creature while holding the scale, hoping to pinpoint the location of the crystal amidst the remains. Had they been anywhere else she might have tried burning it all away, but they don't have the time here to do such a thing.

The crystal found, Hmerrin is gonna take the time to scoop up some of this creature's treasure hoard as well.
"I appreciate the need for speed, but it's also a good idea to have all the upgrades we can before taking on the Majaraja," he points out. "No wandering around the dangerous city, yes. But cash we've already won? Lets not completely ignore it."
The fighter pokes around for the good stuff.

Nira will keep an eye on Hmerrin. If at any point he appears obsessed with treasure and unable to draw himself away she'll alert the party. She's just being cautious.

Ramirez tosses around a few prestidigitation spells to get everyone cleaned up after getting the crystal. Hopefully they won't go awry. Then he'll try some detect magic while the team digs through the treasure, and points out the 'good stuff'.

After the first casting of Prestidigitation, Nira will mention to Ramirez "We're still not sure how the mythal reacts to spells here. Might be best to hold off on casting them unless we need to"
As for the Detect Magic, she offers to use her Arcane Sight rather than chance the spell.

Desdichado (Ryan) [HP:157/211; AC:32/15/30 - CMD 34] Thursday July 20th, 2023 9:33:31 AM
"Well, the Erlking said that the passage we came through is the only way back out, so I don't think any type of magic to get us out will work. But maybe making our travel back to where we came in more quickly would work?"
To Hmerrin he says "It's not that I don't think the treasure would be useful, but the Erlking said we'd be tested of our greed on the way out. That treasure may be cursed, so for myself I'd rather have nothing to do with it."
Fae Skiemir Down in a Hole DM Dan K d100=12 ; Thursday July 20th, 2023 2:09:38 PM
Knowing the upcoming confrontation with the Maharaja and if any of it is to be believed, it's goin to be amongst the most dangerous and powerful opponent the Tide has ever faced, Hmerrin suggests the treasure should be grabbed to better prepare for it. The group moves quickly. Nira strays back a bit to keep an eye on her friends. Was the greed of the the trap within Fae Skiemir the actual guiding principle here, or it it simply as stated by the young warrior? If she is honest with herself, she is unsure. Her senses and experience of expectation tell her there is no outer influences going on Ramirez casts prestidigitation and the spell is as easy as always and there is no hints at the chaos surges that have plagued many other spells cast in and below the city.
Feeling secure, the party gets cleaned up quickly.
Nira's arcane sight flutters as she wills it active, but once that passes, she is able to discern the magic auras quite well. Ring of Spell Storing, Minor (18,000 gp); Amulet of Natural Armor +3 (18,000 gp); +4 Breastplate (16,350 gp); Scarab of Protection (38,000 gp) Scroll of Greater Teleport (2,275 gp); Staff of Necromancy (82,000 gp); 15k gold coins

Treasure is gathered and as the last bit of the treasure is accounted for, the golden bead vanishes. Through various items and abilities The Tide ascend from the undercity cavern. Reaching the top, the group notes all of the Cyclops still lying where they fell, but all 3 are now dead. Three golden beads float over the substantial treasure pile. It is easily apparent that a deep bladed cut at the neck of two of the monsters was the cause of death.
The great city lies before you

Once you have a taste for the treasure here it can poison your mind and become all you can think about." She's not sure what the mysterious voice said to the others on the way in however she's pretty sure it was a warning against this. She tries to convince them to leave and is growing concerned they may have already become afflicted. "We already have enough ".

Fae Skiemir Escape DM Dan K Monday July 24th, 2023 5:11:24 PM
More treasure is better than less right? Hmerrin moves in wondering why someone would kill the cyclops, but not take the treasure. Danko agrees and is with him quickly Nira points out what the Erkling pointed out. This is the city of greed, of Fae Skiemir and it ensnares and traps those of greedy intent and heart. The bloodwitch is concerned. Des backs her up, there are plenty of other times ahead for treasure.
Hmerrin sees nor hears nothing of ambush or a trap. He also notes that he was sure there was more gold coin here. His quick ply through the substantial amount of silver coins reveals an onyx and iron brooch, and 4, no 5 goblets of silver with inlaid pearl. A glint in the darkened partially collapsed building catches his eye. Is that a blade of some kind partially buried? Didn't Ramirez mention some powerful blade. I mean it looks like it's just inside there....
Danko finds a beautiful ruby pendant and another of the goblets, making a set of 6. Odd number, one would expect a setting of 8. Perhaps deeper in the pile of silver, no wait....not all the coins are silver....Why that one looks more like a polished dragon scale, are there more?......

Hmerrin eyes the blade, but Nira and Dez keep carping on greed.

"Fine."
The fighter grabs Danko by the shoulder and moves to join his companions.
"You worry too much," he grouses, taking the lead on the path back to the breach. [Perception 34 for bad guys]

Nira is a little concerned and checks over Hmerrin and Danko (and everyone else for that matter!) for any signs of an enchantment aura. They've come too far to lose anyone now for just a few pieces of gold.

Nira and Des win out and Danko and Hmerrin, though both think the others are overreacting, leave the rest of the treasure. Additional treasure gained Protection: Brooch of Shielding 1500gp set of 6 silver-and-pearl goblets (600 gp each; 3600 gp total) 5,000 gp coin loose Amulet of Alluring Charisma +4: 16000gp
No bad guys in sight, the group exists the town square and begins working their way back. Mostly under the direction of Nira through here keen memory, as the scale that lead you here is not leading you back and the path taken was hardly a straight line.
Back down the streets and dashing down side alleyways The Tide moves purposefully and alertly. Combat in a square ahead freezes the group. The ring of steel on steel plainly heard followed quickly by a great darkening cloud in the sky and monstrous thunderbolt from the heavens. In giant comes a cry Highlight to display spoiler: {Retreat! Fall Back!} followed by a deep laugh, then in giant Highlight to display spoiler: {"You can try fools!} and another great bolt from the heavens lances down. You can tell the fight is moving off and a few more moments the sound of battle is mostly lost in the general din of the city.
Moving quickly the party continues up the street to the intersection. 3 cloud giants lay dead in a blackened area that still smells of ozone. Turning right the party continues away. Another 20 minutes of cat and mouse through the streets and the party finds themselves crossing another square.
Overhead a group of 6 shadows cross the sky, Perception DC 30 Highlight to display spoiler: {You are fairly certain they spotted you....Horned Devils}
Desdichado is glad to be making a good pace at getting out of this city. He glances up as the shadows move past, unsure if it's a cloud, an enemy, or something completely unrelated.
Hmerrin waits out the battle and the lightning, more than happy not to be involved. The next 20 minutes he darts forward, scans about, and darts forward again.
Shadows pass overhead. He glances up to see the lead horned thing staring back at him. We've been spotted. Large flying humaniods with spines and horns.
The fighter pulls out his bow. First Horned Dude flying in gets shot.

Several in the group spot and subsequently identify the flying creatures as Horned devils. Hmerrin pulls his bow as the others discuss alternative courses of action.
The flight of 6 reappear above the rooftops and as Hmerrin sends an arrow skyward, 6 fiery red beads descend.
One simply vanishes as soon as it starts, another strikes Danko, but does not explode. The remain 4 detonate about the party.

Fire rains down and the call goes out to get to cover and several of the The Tide do so. Hmerrin fires a full volley skyward, but none of his shots strike home. Ramirez casts Haste affecting everyone and moves to the side of the street entering a building through a busted window. Nira is with Ramirez and enters the building as well. Des remains with Hmerrin. Gaffer, being too large to get into any building, moves to the side of the street and casts Control Winds The spell flickers into existence and then immediately dissipates. Danko remains where he is as well, muttering nonsensically to himself or some unseen being.
Ramirez and Nira find themselves in what looks to be a small shop of some kind, 25' long and 15' deep. The interior walls are painted in a mural of rolling hills and trees under blue skies and small clouds. So real you almost feel as if you could step into it, but definitely a painting. 2 sets of small rounds tables with a pair of chairs are scattered where Ramirez came in and a small counter is at the back wall with an interior beechwood door.
For a brief moment, a blast of wind strikes the cadre of devils pushing them skyward. The 6 quickly recover however and send another volley of fiery beads. Using the near center of the boulevard, the 20' radius of the Fireball spells engulf everyone who did not get into a building.

(OOC: Oh, Brian is right - Dez actually would have passed that 5th fireball check and would be conscious with 16 HP. He would still have run with Hmerrin into the building.)

Danko bobs and weaves out of the way of the fireballs.
Danko snaps out of his confusion and follows the others in the building.
" Plane shifting out of here is looking pretty good right now doesn't it? "

Nira gets out the healing staff and gives Dez a not so gentle prod with it.
She's still not entirely sure about trying to Plane Shift out of here, so offers some alternatives to get them to the border. "Well, if my spells work I could cast an Etherealness spell. We all become ethereal and head straight to the exit - right through buildings and walls if we have to. Or a Wind Walk spell and we could travel at up to 60mph" she gives a couple of suggestions, but then wonders if she's complicating things "Do teleport spells work? Could we just teleport to where we came in?"
Right now she's happy to go with the majority though on how to get out of this situation.
-------------- Move: Retrieve Healing staff Standard: Use Healing staff (4th charge) on Dez. Dez is healed for 150pts if the spell works.

Gaffer does his best to avoid the worst of the explosions but is still heavily shaken by the residual force. He quickly drops his elemental form and hurries under cover before the next barrage comes down.
"I think any of those options sound good right now." Gaffer agrees between heavy breaths
Fae Skiemir Rain of Fire Round 3 DM Dan K d100=27 ; d100=35 ; Friday July 28th, 2023 1:31:43 PM
Hmerrin Dez and Danko dash for the cover of the building amidst the blasts of the fireball onslaught and leap inside. Des did not go down so Hmerrin can simply run and hold onto his bow Gaffer shifts and get inside as well. Once everyone is inside, Ramirez casts Mass Cure Moderate Wounds and the spell floods the heroes with some needed healing. Party heal 30 Nira produces her Staff of Healing and is successful at healing Des. Des heals 150 The conversation quickly runs the gambit of how to get out of the current situation.
Outside on the street, 3 horned Devils land up the street 50' and 3 land down the street 50'.

Desdichado (Ryan) [HP:196/211; AC:32/15/30 - CMD 34] Friday July 28th, 2023 6:34:57 PM
Desdichado thanks Nira for the healing. "Anyone else need some heaing? I can help top us up."
Thinking about options, he thinks Wind Walk (if it will work) is probably the least risky possibility. "I'm a little worried about what trying to teleport to the exit might do. The Erlking said that's our only way out, which makes me wonder if it's warded somehow."
"If it comes to a fight, I can lend you all some of Domi's power for a bit."
In the meantime, he tries to stay in cover and observe the Devils on the side nearest him. ---------- Active Effects Haste

Danko's eyes stare off into a daze. Without a word, his hands transform into dragon claws and takes swipes with both hands at the person nearest him.

Nira isn't quite sure what's got into Danko. She suspects it's either that bead that hit him earlier did something, or going for that extra treasure did curse him in some way. Her constantly active arcane sight will let her know if he's gained any additional auras, so she quickly looks him over.
She still has the Heal staff in hand so gives him a poke with it.
----------------- Standard: Use Heal staff on Danko (5th charge). If the spell works Danko is healed for 150pts and cures all of the following: ability damage, blinded, confused, dazed, dazzled, deafened, diseased, exhausted, fatigued, feebleminded, insanity, nauseated, poisoned, sickened, and stunned.

Hmerrin stows his bow and turns to face the door. Something moving in the corner of his eye causes the fighter to instinctively bring a mailed arm up, blocking Danko's attack.
"Blast, they got Danko."
He tries to grab the rogue, but the guy is awful slippery.

While the other's deal with an erratic Dranko, Gaffer keeps up efforts at spellcasting, trying to bless himself in preperation for anymore explosions.

Des votes for Wind Walk as the discussions continue on getting out or fighting. Danko, suddenly goes for Hmerrin and the fighter finds the elusive rogue quite hard to simply get a hold of. Nira has better luck and the Staff of Healing cures Danko of his Confusion. Gaffer successfully casts Foresight

The interior of the building catches fire as the table and chairs are incinerated. The counter bursts into flame and the stucco walls smolder and smoke. The Beechwood door at the back of the small shop is likewise reduced to ash. Smoke is fast filling the room
Any Spell cast requires Defensive casting to succeed
Desdichado provides a burst of healing to the group. (Channel energy: 34 healing)
"We're trapped here if we don't do something now," he says. "If we can't use one of those spells to get away, I suggest we use Ramirez's haste spell on us to run like the Unrestful Lands!"

Ramirez does a few rolls avoiding the blasts. It didn't look like they were leaving just yet. Ramirez moves closer to the doorway and tries to cast a spell. (fails) Drat, we need to get out of here. Pick a plan or we start running. It won't last long but may give us a little breathing room.

" Ok. Hold hands folks we're getting out of here. Or at least I'll try. "
Danko defensively casts Plane Shift to take them back to the Prime Material Plane.
Danko is back. Hmerrin grabs his hand and Ramirez and hopes for the best.

Nira hopes for the best but expects the worst. If the Plane Shift spell fizzles, she readies to cast a Wind Walk spell on everyone.

Everything explodes inside the building and Gaffer feels his world go black for a moment before the wave of healing pulls him back to consciousness, barely, reaching for somebodies hand as Danko instructs.
If the Wind Walk succeeds, Gaffer immediately flies at full speed away from the devils.
If both Plane Shift and Wind Walk fail, he shifts his form into that of a crumblind earth elemental and dives into the earth until a next fireball would not reach him.

Des provides a healing burst to the group, or rather he attempts to do so, but nothing happens when he calls upon the normally reliable ability. Ramirez steps forward and tries to cast a spell, but the smoke causes him to choke and he loses it. Danko attempts to Plane Shift.....nothing happens. Hmerrin grabs Danko and Ramirez's hand and hopes.... Nira casts Windwalk and the group becomes translucent cloud like creatures Gaffer immediately flies as best as he can away from the burning building and the devils
Windwalk was successful and DM imagines the PC's want to do something immediately so here is your chance Gaffer and Hmerrin have a full round action Everyone else can take a move action
RULES: Windwalk makes your Speed 300'...600' per round Fly maneuverability is Poor -4 on Check, Armor Check Penalties apply Dex based skill To make the turn down the street Fly Check DC 15 and subtract 10' of movement Failure: You end your move across the street approximately 30' from the devils
If you make the turn you can Rise at half speed (150') at an angle of 45 degrees. Fly Check DC 20 to increase vertical climb
The street is 200' long in either direction, flanked and capped with 3 story building with peaked rooftops at 60' high
Danko Pureheart (Yves) -- AC 26 (31) -- CMD 36 -- HP 132/132 Tuesday August 1st, 2023 1:20:37 PM
With a deep sigh of disgus, Danko follows after Gaffer as quickly as he can.
Desdichado heroically runs away, I mean, flies from the horned devils.

Gaffer propels himself forward without hesitation, trying to escape the next round of explosions that are sure to come, not taking the time to become familiar with the sudden transformation, he instead crashes across the street, next to the very devils he was trying to escape.
Gaffer's vaporous form doesn't prevent the expletive telepathic shout that echoes to the minds of the others.

Nira will bring up the rear of the group. She notices Gaffer in trouble and does her best to provide him whatever cover she can. Nira will fly as far as she can yet remain between Gaffer and the Devils. She wants to shield him, and take any hits that might be coming his way.

Danko and Des exit the burning building and turn hard right, making for the end of the street and gaining altitude to go over the buildings Gaffer is less fortunate and does not make the turn, coming to a stop just past the 6 devils. Ramirez grabs Gaffer and starts to pull him along, getting another 20' down the road. Nira flies out and stops in between the devils and Gaffer and Ramirez Hmerrin, also makes the turn and catches up with Danko and Des at the end of the street
The 6 devils turn as the group speeds out and all smile at what appears to be three victims. They move in, leaping into the air. 4 attack Nira and the other two go after Ramirez.

Nira's cloudy form takes the hits, and wisps of mist get stripped away. She's not sure how this form feels pain, but it does. It's all she can do to keep on flying.

Desdichado feels very awkward in his flight. He considers turning around, but it relieved to see that it looks like the others are helping Gaffer. His flying is barely under control and he has a real fear that if he makes any movements or jerks he'll go considerably off track. He hopes they can make it back to their entryway soon without any more struggle. As soon as they are on the ground, he can help Gaffer with more healing.

Nira and Ramirez are able to fight off the stunning affect and with Gaffer fly off, putting a considerable distance between themselves and the devils. Hmerrin and the others pause just long enough for the last three to catch up. While waiting, they see 6 large black serpentine creatures with the heads of crows 'appear' in the street 100' further back from the devils . Each sends a massive blue-white bolt of lightning into the cadre of devils.
The party is nearly 300' from the combat below on the street behind them standing upon the rooftop of the building row at the end of the street. The city spreads out in all directions with varying tall spires, massive rising structures and sculptures in the distance that reach hundreds of feet into the sky, even to the clouds themselves. Dust and smoke rises in dozens of locations including, of course, not too far behind you. A maze work of streets and alleys twist through towards the great wall that encircles Fae Skiemir.

Desdichado stands on the roof, thankful for a moment of respite from the flying. "There sure are a lot of things flying around this place," he comments.
He takes a look around the ruined city, trying to get his bearings and see if he can tell how far they are from where they came in. (Survival: 18)
Ramirez lands, so he can concentrate better on his spell. Ramirez casts cure critical wounds on Gaffer. Gaffer heal 38hp. Good spot to rest for a moment? So.... did anyone leave a trail of carrot pieces for us to find the way out?

Nira catches up to those waiting ahead. "We've still got things flying in every direction. I'm not sure we have a lot of time to rest up" she advises over the telepathic link.
If the others are dropping their mist shapes, she will as well.
Nira tries to gauge how far they are from the point that they entered the mythal. She assumes that's the direction they've been flying and the landmarks here feel pretty distinct.

Gaffer catches up to the others and his shoulders loose their tension as Ramirez sends healing through. "Thanks, I needed that, and thanks for the back up down on the street."
He joins in the scan of the surroundings and trying to figure out their direction and route back to where they entered.

Hmerrin also tries to work out the route back. [Survival 21]
"Let's keep going. Once we leave the roof, drop down about 10' so that the roofline helps conceal us. Then we can go just over the top of the next roof. Hopefully, that plus the spell effect will keep us from being spotted."

At the mention of "carrots" Danko smiles.
"As a matter of fact, I did! "
and he snickers as he also looks around.

DM: point of order. You cannot cast spell in WindWalk and once you leave the Windwalk form, the spell effect is ended for you and you cannot return to WindWalk form. So if Ramirez wants to try and cast CCW he will no longer be able to Windwalk.

Highlight to display spoiler: {Hi DM! There's this bit in the Wind Walk spell: "A wind walker can regain its physical form as desired and later resume the cloud form. Each change to and from vaporous form takes 5 rounds, which counts toward the duration of the spell (as does any time spent in physical form)"}
Face palm…. Not sure how I missed that! Thanks Rob.

Dropping o out of cloud form, Ramirez successfully casts Cure Critical Wounds on Gaffer Following Hmerrins advice and Gaffers ‘I know where we are going’ skills of direction, the group quickly makes for the edge of the city where they entered.
Far across the city, one of the great spires moves! What appeared to be a tower shimmers and begins to stride across the buildings, a titan! Fortunately for The Tide, the titan is heading generally away from you. All in the party can also sense, even from here, the pull of gold in the direction the titan moves
The flight plan works well and 20 minutes later the party lands where Gaffer knows the Erkling should be waiting and sure enough a hand waves from just inside the gray-white field about the city
Desdichado (Ryan) [HP:135/211; AC:32/15/30 - CMD 34] Saturday August 5th, 2023 7:51:35 PM
Desdichado is very happy to be near their exit. He stands rear guard as the others go through before exiting himself.

That voice might try to tempt us again as we pass through" Nira is really looking to be out of this place and get back to where she can reliably know how her spells will work.
Nira heads in with the middle of the group.
Gaffer - Courtney - HP: 39/164 AC: 37(T:18/FF:32) CMD:35) Sunday August 6th, 2023 1:02:51 PM
Gaffer settles near the ground and shifts back to a more corporeal form, stretching out stuff limbs as he does so.
"Do we need to hold their hand as we step through?"
Hmerrin (MikeK)(HP 86/217 AC:32 T:19 FF:28 CMD:41) Sunday August 6th, 2023 4:28:01 PM
"This city is nuts," Hmerrin observes, watching the titan.
With Dez holding the rear, Hmerrin plunges first through the gray-white field.

The group wastes no time upon arrival and Hmerrin leads the party into the opaque barrier. You do indeed need to join hands and what you find as you pass through is a living chain of various medium sized fae. The Erkling is the nearest in the chain and offers a simple enough instruction. "Don't let go as you move along or you will be lost." Voices can be heard, distant murmurs, quiet whispers on the wind, but this time there is nothing distinct.
Moments later, you are standing at the edge of the woods once again and the fae that guided you through are gathering about. The Erkling shoos them away and gives you an appraising look. "It would seem that all of you are here and no more the worse for the experience. You do the noble races proud. Good luck."
With that he simply fades as a breeze picks up, blowing him to unseen vapor with a final 'wink'. You stand alone at the edge of the plains to Fae Skiemir and a great wood, somewhere in the Lands of Rest and The Twilight Valley.

Hmerrin looks right, then left. He's pretty sure this is where they came in. [Perception 40, Survival 32]
"Uh, possible flaw in our plan," he comments. "Anyone know how to get back?"
Desdichado (Ryan) [HP:135/211; AC:32/15/30 - CMD 34] Monday August 7th, 2023 6:57:42 PM
"It should be a matter of just walking back to the portal, right? I [i]think[/t] these are the woods we came in at. At least I hope so."
"Oh, maybe traveling magic will work now, too!" he adds.
Danko Pureheart (Yves) -- AC 26 (31) -- CMD 36 -- HP 132/132 Monday August 7th, 2023 8:32:09 PM
" Teleportation. I can likely make it work " And with a smirk,
" If you trust my magic that is ? "
Ramirez (BrianZ) AC32/20/25 HP 113/150 CMD32 Monday August 7th, 2023 8:32:37 PM Well that was...interesting. I feel like we should put up some warning signs. Ramirez looks at the magic field containing the city and wonders if there is any way to free those trapped inside. Maybe someday. He turns his attention back to the group. So, I feel like we should thank the Queen for her help before we try and go back to the dragon.

Getting back. That's a good question. Nira has no better idea than anyone else, so is happy to go with the crowd on this.

Free of the city, Gaffer gives a small bow and quiet "Thank you" to the Fae that helped them. Then he turns to his allies and gives the same. "That was about as close it's been for me, so thank you again. And let's get out of here."
He sets about orientating himself in the forest and searching for the path back to Maab's palace.
