Vanius (DM MikeK) d4+4=5 ; Monday November 18th, 2024 7:24:46 PM
Armalad calls Joker away from the Portal. The Water Mephit was already thinking along those same lines. It quickly moves away.
Armalad plucks the Scepter from the statue's hands, then casts a spell.
The T-Rex quietly waits and digests.
Bart changes to a huge earth elemental and offers to take Drall.
Stohp holds and waits.
Suspecting the worst, Stock drinks a potion and positions himself to face what is most likely bad news. He asks about more healing.
At Zanderallen's call, Delia moves toward the paladin. She waits with an arrow nocked.
Zanderallen channels positive energy, healing his friends some more.
Hawky keeps working over TA. Yes, I'd say an animal can coup-de-grace. However, this being a troll, they just keep regenerating.
-------------
All the trolls' wounds heal a little bit. Drall opens his eyes.
------
The soft rain continues with an occasional far off flash and boom.
------
The portal opens again.
Stepping through are five figures. At first, the rest are hard to bring into focus, given the gargantuan red tinged twin of Armalad's TRex.
But it stops after emerging. Beside it, one hand laid protectively on the T-Rex's kneecap, is a human in a chain shirt and wielding a greatsword (F).
On the other side is a female human wearing no armor (R) She carries a longsword in her right hand and a crossbow in her left. She's been mirror imaged, as 5 images of her float disorientingly about.
Behind R stands a female catfolk (C) She wears chainmail armor and a Warhammer hangs at her hip.
And finally, behind the fighter is a figure familiar to the longer tenured PCs (Stock, Stohp, Bartomus, Zanderallen). It is the vampire Lord Vanius. (V)
A very pale, very good looking, male half elf, armored in breastplate and with a longsword sheathed at his side. Though shorter than an average human, he has a very commanding, regal presence about him. He speaks ever so politely in a clear, cool baritone. “Ah, my young mortals, we meet again.” Vanius glances at the lightning filled sky, a hint of amusement crossing his features. “A portal. A storm. A prize.” His gaze falls to Zanderallen. “A group of over eager young pups in my way. Quite nostalgic, really.”
"Shall we chat awhile, for old times sake? Or don't you do that anymore?"
Armalad (Hugh) HP 134/154 AC 25 / Touch 19/ Flat 18 CMD 27 d4=1 ; 2d8+11=21 ; Tuesday November 19th, 2024 12:47:26 AM
Joker continues moving towards where Armalad's disembodied voice came from (fly to AD28 while rising 10 feet above ground)
Armalad never dismissed her greater invisibility and has been greater invisible the whole time she was flying around, inspecting the statue, plucking the sceptre and summoning the celestial tryke.
She completes the rest of her full round summon spell she started last round causing the Celestial Tryke to appear (Standard Action) X-Y-Z-31, X-Y-Z-32, X-Y-Z-33
She is still greater invisible now and uses a move action to stow the sceptre in her handy haversack. Unless the other party has someone who can see invisibility right now it should appear to them that the sceptre was nowhere to be seen when they entered the chamber as she was holding it while greater invisible at the time and now with it in safely in her handysack presumably they won't know where it went either.
She calls out to the Tryke, "Protect the celestial T-Rex especially from the Fiendish T-Rex"
The Celestial Tryke moves in front of the celestial T-Rex so as to interdict any threat coming at it
It is now at UVW 35 UVW 36 UVW 37
The T-Rex continues to have the swallow whole damage happen against the swallowed Troll (2d8+11 = 21 + 18 from smite evil)
Armalad calls out to the guy she doesn't recognize as she wasn't here last time they met him, "What should we talk about? The weather? It is honestly annoying in this place. Who has better the better Dinosaur accessories? We have 2 and you have 1"

“Quite poetic, Vanius. You are too late though. If you are after the scepter,it has disappeared…” Stock eyes the newcomers with Vanius, trying to decide what to make of them.
Stock pulls out a potion and drinks.

Zanderallen unconsciously clenches and tightens a strap on his gauntlet as Vanius comes into focus. He takes a deep breath as the vampire lord greets them, hoping to buy time to continue channeling healing. He nods his head slightly in greeting, "Lord Vanius, meeting through portals seems to be our thing. I must offer apologies for visiting your realm without calling on you. We're been a little pressed for time. I trust you have been well?" While his words are friendly there is no warmth in Zander's tone. His best diplomatic graces keep the ice out though. ================ Divine Bond - 17 minutes Smite Evil TF2

Stohp (Mitch) HP: 105/147AC: 27/15/23 CMD: 26 (+4 vs grapple,+6 disarm, trip) Tuesday November 19th, 2024 9:56:44 AM
After so many years and so many bad guys Stohp just can't keep them all straight. She knows Zander knows and he told them about their last encounter but even with that she's just blanking. Also, she's in no mood for banter. "We're leaving. Move or die."
Delia (Hannah) HP: 112/187; AC 34/21/28; CMD 44 Tuesday November 19th, 2024 6:46:22 PM
Delia minutely shifts her body, targeting onto Vanius. She keeps half an eye on Zanderallen and Stock because if they charge, she releases.
She was out in the Wilds during the Sargrass event, but she's heard stories of what happened in the Float from her friends, old and new. If Vanius casts a spell, she also releases.
========================= Readied action to fire on Vanius if combat begins: Potential crit, 37 to confirm, 41 vs undead: Non-crit damage: 30 damage, 34 vs undead (27 piercing, 3 cold) Crit damage: 96 damage, 108 vs undead (78 piercing, 18 cold)

More Complications (DM MikeK) Tuesday November 19th, 2024 7:44:42 PM
Joker moves closer to the statue and farther from the bad guys.
A Celestial Triceratops appears on the field. An invisible Armalad calls out instructions to it, while tucking away the Scepter. The dinosaur dutifully takes up position.
Celestial TRex waits and digests.
Stock tells Vanius he's too late, drinks a potion, and eyes the others. None look familiar.
Zanderallen is willing to banter a bit, as long as he can use the time to keep healing his friends. The paladin sends another wave of healing out.
However, at the mention of visiting his realm, everyone hears a chuckling over the wind. The whispers are back, but this time audible to all. "Oh, this isn't his realm", they remark gleefully.
Vanius' expression finally changes, to one of irritation. His companions also pause for just a moment. Sense Motive DC20 Highlight to display spoiler: { This not being Vanius' realm is of importance to them. }
Stohp is less willing to banter.
"Too easy," declare the Whispers. The portal vanishes, a development that surprises Vanius and company though the vampire remains merely irritated about it.
Delia keeps a steady aim on Vanius.
Hawky works over TA some more.
-------------
All the trolls' wounds heal a little bit. Drall is definitely conscious.
------
The soft rain continues with an occasional far off flash and boom.
------
Vanius turns with a sigh from the now missing portal back to the Shields. A look of recognition crosses his face as he spies the trolls. "Grantham Drall? Oh that is too rich." Back to Zanderallen. "I have also found good use for you, paladin. And now you have found for the me the prize I seek most. As your reward, if your invisible friend by the statue to hands over the Scepter of the Dead, we can all go our happy ways.

Bartomus froze when he saw the Vampire. That was not anyone he expected to see and it literally frozen him in his tracks. He felt himself trying to remember the last time they saw the Vamp, but all he could think about was how much he hated this place.
When the Whispers disheveled the Vamp, Bartomus snickered.
[b]"So what deal can we make with you all to keep the Vamp preoccupied and us to leave here with the sceptre?"[b] Bartomus whispers as he bends down to help Zander with the tied up troll lord.

Sense Motive: 20
Armalad knows a lot of languages and she thinks she knows an expression in an archaic form of common that is oddly appropriate to the situation.
"Molon Labe" Armalad replies to Vanus, "It's an archaic common expression that roughly translates to come and take it. But before you try to do that what's wrong Vanus? Did you lie to your henchmen that this was your realm? Why not have them read the signpost and learn otherwise?"
Armalad tells Joker, "Take cover behind the statue and use the wand for fog. but be ready to move"
Joker does as Armalad requests flying up and behind the statue and then using his wand of silent image to create the illusion of fog in a up to 17 10 foot cubes
AA-AB 26 and 27 20 feet up in the air - 2 cubes total AC-AD 26 and 27 20 feet up in the air - 4 cubes total AE-AF 26 and 27 20 feet up in the air - 6 cubes total AE-AF 28 and 29 20 feet up in the air - 8 cubes total AC-AD 28 and 29 20 feet up in the air - 10 cubes total AA-AB 28 and 29 20 feet up in the air - 12 cubes total AB-AC 30 and 31 20 feet up in the air - 14 cubes total AD-AE 30 and 31 20 feet up in the air - 16 cubes total
Armalad passes the will save vs the illusionary fog so she can see through the illusion and out into wherever they are.
She tells the Tryke, "Keep backing up your dino buddy and be ready to attack anything that comes it and your way."
Armalad then readies an action to counterspell the next hostile spell the opposing group casts against the Shields. If she has the spell prepared and uncast she'll cast her own to negate the effect otherwise she'll fall back on her lower level prepared dispel magic slot to attempt to counterspell if she doesn't have the appropriate spell prepared
Spellcraft: 46 vs DC 15 + Spell level to identify spell Dispel Check: 32 if she has to counter the spell using Dispel magic vs 11 + spell's caster level

Zanderallen grins just a little at the clarification of where they're at and the pause from the vampire's companions. He hesitates just a moment as the portal disappears. "Well Stohp, it appears we have to modify your statement a little. Whoever runs this particular plane seems to want us to fight to the death. In other cases I would resist such things. But Vanius, it will give me no small pleasure to remove such an evil from the Wold. SHEILDS ATTACK!!"

Like Stohp earlier, Bartomus also tries to recall Vanius. The taurs recall the Sargrass Event in which a vampire appeared at a gateway on the Trash Level and caught them in a Reverse Gravity spell. It was also revealed Vanius was behind the kidnapping of Zander's girlfriend, to lure you into Koshe Marr the first time.
Bart asks the Whispers what deal they want this time. The reply is immediate - Highlight to display spoiler: {"We require a new Dark Lord of Varun. We will help the rest leave if one remains. Forever."}
Armalad challenges Vanius to come and get them. Joker retreats behind the statue and covers the statue and the arcane archer in a cloud bank, which only Joker and Armlad know is an illusion.
She readies to counterspell.
The Triceratops stands ready, as does the TRex.
Stohp wishes she was a wizard so she could fireball the vampire in response. Since she's not she'll just spread out some to prevent the same being done to the party.
Delia misses any additional reaction to the disappearance of the portal, eyes and muscles locked until the next step is decided.
Hawky works over TA some more.
Stock checks in with Zanderallen and responds to Vanius. "You can’t have the scepter, Vanius. Now that is established, do you know how we get out of here?" Then he asks the voices how to get out. They respond - Highlight to display spoiler: {"We require a new Dark Lord of Varun. We will help the rest leave if one remains. Forever."}
Zanderallen hesitates just a moment as the portal disappears. "Well Stohp, it appears we have to modify your statement a little. Whoever runs this particular plane seems to want us to fight to the death. In other cases I would resist such things. But Vanius, it will give me no small pleasure to remove such an evil from the Wold. SHEILDS ATTACK!!" With that Zander gives himself a quick healing boost before charging the fiendish T-Rex.
-------------
Reacting to Zanderallen's charge, Delia launches an arrow. It hits Vanius, but not critically.
Also reacting to Zanderallen's charge, the enemy fighter doubles in size.
------------
The TRex bites at the paladin as he approaches, but misses
The paladin chops at it, scoring a hit. Though he does notices the dino has some DR.
-------------
The catfolk casts a spell, which Armalad identifies as Greater Dispel Magic. Armalad counters with her own Greater Dispel Magic.
The catfolk then quickly casts a second spell. The summoned TRex disappears (Dispel Magic, rolled 35 on CL check), leaving a very unconscious TW behind.
The TRex bites at Zanderallen, missing again.
The fighter launches into Zanderallen with his huge greatsword. As the sword blows hit, Zanderallen realizes he is dealing with his antithesis. The antipaladin, smiting good with an unholy greatsword, hits hard with two powerful blows stinging of unholy energy. Zanderallen takes 46 and 45 hp damage.
The woman with the longsword and hand crossbow (R) swings in behind her allies to get to the fighter's side.
Vanius quickly flips a set of magic missiles at Delia. The five green beads strike unerringly. Delia takes 20 hp damage.
He then steps back and casts a spell, bringing up a 30' tall wind wall around himself (blue squares)

Armalad orders the celestial Tryke to Charge the T-Rex and unload its smite evil on the fiendish dino
The Tryke charges to XYZ 41 - 43 and attacks with its powerful charged gore 32 vs T-Rex's AC and if that hits the T-Rex takes 43 + 14 from smite evil
She encourages Joker to concentrate and he obliges
Armalad seeing the other caster has different metamagic at her disposal decides to do what Armalad is good at which is firing arrows imbued with spells and ideally hitting multiple foes
so she decides she'll take a full attack to fire some arrows prioritizing the T-Rex, then the fighter, then the caster meaning if at anytime the T-Rex dies or disappears from damage her next target is the Fighter which would be against his FF AC then C also FF AC
manyshot,Rapid shot+1 Merciful, Flaming Burst, Icy Burst, Thundering Composite Longbow + enchant arrow and will imbue one of her first many-shot arrows with Lightning Bolt
+23 many shot - 26 vs T-Rex's FF AC is (1d8+1d6 fire +1d6 ice + 1d6 shock +4) x 2 plus lightning bolt hitting T-Rex, C and F if that hits = 16 + 7 fire + 9 ice + 7 shock plus DC 20 Reflex Save or T-Rex takes 41 electric damage from the lighting only 20 on successful save
C + F also need to make DC 20 Reflex Saves or take 41 electric damage (only 20 on success)

Zander roars his defiance at the anti-paladin engaging with him. Calling forth more of Domi's power he matches the Smite of his counter part. "DOMI TAKE YOU!" Somewhere in the back of his mind the extent of his injuries register, but he ignores them.

Bartomus looked down at Drall and decided to keep a close eye on the troll that was one of the focus points for their being in what ever this place was.
His fingers moved quickly and then scanned the stormy sky.
"Let's give this a try," he thought to himself. He pointed at the catfolk and at the T Rex. He dropped his finger. A bolt of lightning came from above with a loud sound.

The Celestial Triceratops charges the T-Rex. However, just before impact, the summoned creature is stopped short. Some kind of protection is preventing it from touching the TRex.
Joker keeps concentrating on the illusion.
Armalad fires a series of arrows at the fiendish T-Rex and discovers it has DR, SR, and some resistance to fire and cold. The first arrow hits, causing a lightning bolt to cascade through F and C F is affected, but both the TRex and C have SR - DM rolled caster check for Armalad - failed.
The rest of the arrows also hit the TRex, though not critically. They don't do very much damage.
Stohp moves forward and attempts to disarm the fighter, but is unable to do so.
Stock is caught off balance by Z’s charge and goes running in after the guy. The TRex chomps on the dwarf as he closes. Stock takes 36 hp damage.
Zander roars his defiance at the anti-paladin engaging with him. His body and blade glow faintly with radiant light as attacks his enemy with fury. The paladin strikes in righteous rage, connecting once, twice, and ultimately five times. With the fifth massive blow, the antipaladin drops dead.
Bartomus glances at Drall. The troll doesn't seem to be doing anything. Bart calls down lightning from the storm. It is most definitely outdoors and stormy Unfortunately, he is unable to overcome the TRex's spell resistance.
Delia seeks out the fighter, but Zanderallen has emphatically ended that threat. DM decision that she goes for the giant meat eating dinosaur instead. Her arrows hit, but like Armalad she notes the creature's hide is very tough. But even the DR can only blunt a portion of the ranger's attack
-------------
The is a very brief, but noticeable pause when the fighter goes down.
Roaring in outrage, the TRex bites at Zanderallen, but misses again.
The catfolk casts a spell, and bellows a Command - "Halt" Stock, Zanderallen, and Stohp make Will Save DC 24 or unable to take any actions for 16 rounds. Can make a new Will save check at the beginning of each round.
Longsword/Handcrossbow lady (R) moves over her fallen comrade to engage Zanderallen. She also misses.
Vanius makes a quick hand gesture. A fireball explodes between Armalad and Bart, catching both of them. Armalad and Bart take 38 hp damage. Reflex DC23 halves.
The vampire follows with another spell. Delia and the unconscious form of TF2 shoot skyward, coming to a halt 180' in the air oscillating slowly. The ranger can twist around to get more shots off but will take a -2 penalty on attack due to the difficulty, plus any range decrements.
----
All the trolls' wounds heal a little bit. Vanius also heals some of his wounds.

The skies erupt. The eastern quadrant of the platform is pelted by hail. The hailstones slam into Armalad, TA and Hawky
Armalad and Hawky take 15 hp bludgeoning damage and 10 hp cold damage.

He reached into his pouch and swallowed a potion. Then he called down another bolt of lightning at the ugly TRex. He smiled.
Lightning Bolt - SR 31; Reflex save against 22 to reduce the 30 pts damage by half.
She still takes damage from the hail which is severely annoying.

Stohp does not stop (will 33). She throws a tanglefoot bag at the vampire after taking a 5 foot step south. 31 to hit vs touch.
Stock looks down amazed that he is mostly untouched after one round. He feels a tickle in the back of his mind trying to force him to do…something. But he’s raging and a dwarf so such simple spells don’t touch him.
He tries to go to town on the Dino with his trusty hammer.

Delia whistles the Heel command as her feet leave the ground and Hawky Runs to her. She mutters something extremely uncharitable about Vanius and spellcasters in general, but is out of anyone's earshot. She is thankful for her magical quiver that summons arrows to her hands only when she needs them and aims for the many forms of the human woman. She glances at Hawky when he arrives, "Ok buddy. You're a big boy right now. If I fall, Fetch me. Ok?"

Bartomus retrieves a potion (a Move Action) and drinks it down (a Standard Action). Calling down another bolt requires a Standard Action as well, and Bart used up his actions drinking the potion
Per Armalad's command, the Tryke charges the Catfolk. The TRex rips out a chunk of at it as it passes. Tryke takes 40 hp damage (evil, overcomes DR) in AoO attack.
As the Tryke reaches the Catfolk, it comes to a halt. Like the TRex, she is also under some protection that prevents the summoned creature from touching her.
Joker keeps concentrating on the illusionary cloud bank.
Armalad sends more arrows at the TRex, with the first one erupting in a lightning bolt that also arcs to Vanius. Vanius is on the ground. The wind wall is 30' high. Just an FYI as no impact to results.
The TRex avoids the brunt of the lightning bolt. Vanius does as well.
One more arrow hits the TRex for minimal damage.
Stohp ignores the catfolk's command. She takes a step and tries to throw a tanglefoot bag through the wind wall in front of Vanius. The wind diverts the bag, but not enough, and it explodes on impact. Vanius is able to avoid most of the goo. He can move, though not well. The vampire glares at Stohp.
Stock can't quite believe he's (mostly) intact. The dwarf batters the Trex. The dinosaur falls, then disappears.
Delia calls Hawky back to her. Despite oscillating upside down, 180' in the air, she still fires off a volley. One arrow makes contact, destroying one of the images.
Zanderallen is in the zone. Healing himself, he turns on the mirrored lady. Despite wearing no armor, she's got a lot of protections. The paladin only hits once. But he makes it count as the blow lands true.

Mirror Woman (R) backflips away from Zanderallen and retreats next to Catfolk. (Withdraw Action) Like the others, the Celestial Tryke finds itself prevented from touching her (no AoO).
Catfolk casts spell, healing some of R's injuries.
Ignoring the goo, Vanius casts a spell. concentration check with a DC 22 or be unable to cast the spell. A wave of negative energy flows over Stock, Zanderallen, and Stohp. Stock, Zanderallen, and Stohp are exhausted - An exhausted character moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –6 penalty to Strength and Dexterity.

The hail stops, replaced by a gust of wind blowing east to west. Medium or smaller creatures are unable to move forward against the force of the wind unless they succeed at a DC 15 Strength check. Everyone takes a –4 penalty on ranged attacks.

Bartomus looked at his finger...and then back at the scene. The TRex was gone. Weird, he thought to himself.
"Let's try this again," Bartomus snapped his finger at where the cat folk was as a giant dinosaur moved in on the creature.
Spell resistance check - 30 against Catfolk's 20; oh, Strength check - 21; Reflex save against 22 reduces damage by half. Damage - 29

Armalad tells Joker to keep concentrating she then moves to AD31
She orders the Tryke to take the aid another action for the first shield that closes to melee range against R (34 vs AC 10 = success; that shield gets +2 to hit against R)
Armalad then casts dispel magic targeting the mirror image effect on R and uses a heroic effort to re-roll and gets an even worse result (OOC unless the mirror image was cast at CL 3 or less the effect isn't ended)

Bartomus calls down lightning on Catfolk. She cannot avoid it, but does have some kind of resistance, diminishing the attack.
Per Armalad's instruction, Joker continues concentrating on the illusion. Armalad flies forward and attempts to dispel the Mirror Image, but fails in the attempt.
The Tryke prepares to assist on any melee attacks on R.
Stohp sags as the magical exhaustion hits her. She takes a moment to consider her options.
Stock pulls out and drinks down a potion, enlarging himself again. The dwarf steps forward.
Zanderallen also steps forward. The paladin digs deep to find the energy and heals Stock. "Vanius, you messed with the wrong followers of Domi."
Delia marks R as her quarry. Hawky soars around and pecks at the unconscious TF2.
-------------
Flippy Woman (R) seems reluctant to take on Stock. She maintains her position, longsword warily in front of her. She appears to be soundlessly talking to herself.
Catfolk snarls at Bartomus, and casts a spell of her own. The taur writhes in unholy fire. Bartomus takes 160 hp damage. Fort Save DC 25 reduces damage to 10d6.
"Perhaps", Vanius replies to Zanderallen, unperturbed. "Perhaps not." He casts another spell. A lightning bolt slams into Stock, then arcs to Zanderallen, and then to Stohp. Stock, Zanderallen, and Stohp take 62 hp damage. Ref DC 26 (Zanderallen and Stohp have DC 24) halves.

All the trolls' wounds heal a little bit. Vanius also heals some of his wounds.

The wind stops. A hailstone burst drops on the western quadrant, buffeting the unconscious TW.
She orders the Tryke to aid the next Shield's attack against the mirrored R woman
She then figures even though she is no longer greater invisible she should have total concealment by virtue of being in the illusionary fog cloud. Therefore if she fires at the Catfolk caster it should still be against the Catfolk's Flat Footed AC

Despite the exhaustion Stohp dives out of the way avoiding the lightning completely (31). She'll move to AD/AC 47/48 (I think, right under Stock) and she'll try to grapple R, rope in hand. R had seemed reluctant to fight, so maybe she'll let Stohp overpower her and tie her up. 30 to grapple.

Zanderallen starts moving to dodge the lightning, and in his head his reaction speed is sufficient to make it out of the worse of the bolt. But his exhausted body doesn't keep pace and he takes the full brunt of the blast. He staggers and blinks to clear the white flash from his eyes. Bolstering himself with a quick touch of healing he feels a warmth as the exhaustion clears from his limbs, just a moment too late. He then walks around Stock to Vanius calling out,"This is for Pepper!" as he finds an opening in the vampire lords defense. ======================== Divine Bond Smite Evil on Vanius: +7 to hit and AC, +18 damage

Joker continues concentrating on the illusion.
The Tryke waits.
Armalad launches a volley against the catfolk. She is concealed and so catches her flatfooted. Unfortunately, despite being a cat, the catfolk has no dexterity whatsoever (flatfooted ac 30)
Her first arrow misses. The second hits for some damage. The next two arrows also miss.
Stohp avoids the lightning bolt. She moves forward, between the two fighters and Vanius and tries to grab R. The Tryke tries to aid. While the taur does succeed in touching the actual woman, rather than an image, the woman slips away. CMD43 (miss)
Bartomus singed and gasped as the infernal flames went out. He felt that he had gotten lucky and tried calling another lightning bolt down at the catfolk, but it seemed to just fizzle about her. He decided to move closer to the fray.
Stock swings around Stohp. The wind wall has no impact on the dwarf's melee attack, and Vanius has no resistance to magic hammers. The blow lands solidly.
Delia launches a volley at R. The first arrow draws blood. The next two pop images.
Hawky successfully stays in place, keeping the troll down.
Zanderallen takes a hit, then heals himself. The paladin slips past the large dwarf and gets in a strike on Vanius.
R calls out. "I accept!" Without another word she pivots and drives her longsword through the catfolk's heart. Both R and the catfolk disappear. The Voices chuckle audibly. "Varun has a new Dark Lord"
"NO!" cries Vanius, enraged. "You can't do that!
The vampire moves, stepping away from Zanderallen and toward Stock. With a quick spell he slaps his palm onto Stock's stomach. His wounds heal, using Stock's life force. Stock takes 60 hp damage.

Bartomus continued to move forward and when he got a glimpse of the vampyr lord, he flicked a lightning bolt at him. Bartomus sighed loudly. He wasn't sure if the bolt even made it down through the wind.

Well that takes care of two of them, though she suspects that catfolk will greatly regret that decision eventually. For now the vampire is in reach - she grabs him. 30 and 46 to grapple (can grapple as a move action due to feat). If the first attempt somehow succeeds she'll use the 2nd grapple to pin, otherwise just a grab.

Zanderallen was half expecting Vanius to try and negotiate after the betrayal of his companion, but any chance of that dies as he watches him drain Stock. "Seems evil never pay, Vanius. You serve a fickle power, and now you pay." He quickly steps to follow Vanius, his blade a flash.

Down goes Vanius! (DM MikeK) d20+17=34 ; Thursday November 28th, 2024 10:57:05 AM
Joker continues concentrating on the illusion.
The Tryke swings around the combatants. It is unable to touch Vanius and waits to aid another.
Armalad casts a spell, summoning more aid.
Bart closes and sends a lightning bolt at Vanius. The wind wall has no impact, but the druid is unable to overcome the vampire's spell resistance.
One to go. Stohp grabs at Vanius, missing. She grabs at him again. And this time, the minotaur latches on. With a quick tug, the startled vampire is drawn into her clutches.
Stock and Zanderallen hammer and slice. Grappled by Stohp, Vanius loses some dexterity and both the dwarf and the paladin score another hit when they would have missed otherwise. It takes every blow, but with Zanderallen's final strike, Vanius falls.
As soon as he falls, the body turns to dust and blows away.

Delia releases tension on her arrow and, unsure how much longer the spell will last or if she can be removed from it, instructs the Animal Growth-ed Hawky to Fetch her to Stock. She will keep an eye on Drall and the storm for signs of combat picking back up. If Hawky's efforts are in vain, she will ready another Pinpoint Targeting arrow at Drall.
Hawky will latch on to her and do his best to comply.

Bartomus moved towards his left and tried to get in a position where he was closer to Delia and remained relatively close to the other Shields that had defeated the Vampire. As he moved, he began the chanting to call forth the energy needed to extend a healing power.

As his final blow lands Zander is almost thrown off balance by the lack of resistance as Vanius turns to dust. Seeing his foe gone fills him with a rush of emotion. Vanius had made him feel so little and powerless all those years ago, which could have been forgiven but the vampire couldn't leave well enough alone. And now he was gone, "It is finished" Zander whispers as he watches the dust blow away.
His attention is immediately grabbed by the snapping of ropes as he pivots to watch Drall stand up. But he notes the previous aggression and bloodlust don't seem to be dominant at the moment, so he takes the opportunity to try and avoid more bloodshed. "I am Zanderallen, servant of Domi, member of the Silver Shields, and tasked by Gargul to bring you from this place. Will you come with us?"

The summoning of the lantern archon is rather anticlimatic as Vanus was already slain.
Armalad tells Joker, "You can stop concentrating on the fog cloud."
"Let's fly back to the others and take the archon with us, maybe he can cast some spells that can make us heartier for a bit"
Armalad, Joker and the Lantern Archon all fly back to the others.

That vampire wasn't even the strongest of them; more are coming. If we wanted the scepter, or your death, we would already be taking it. Instead I ask of you and your fellows - come with us.

Delia finds hitching a ride with Hawky easily extracts her from the reverse gravity effect and returns her to solid ground safely.
Everybody, including a newly summoned Archon Lantern, get together to face Grantham Drall.
Zanderallen and Stohp once again work to convince the troll guardian to return with them.
This conversation takes about a minute.
During that time - apply whatever healing is appropriate over ten rounds - the other trolls continue to heal, but none regain consciousness - the portal does not return

Armalad thanks Bartomus for the potion and quaffs it then returns her barrel from the haversack to normal size and tells Joker to get in, use the decanter of endless water and allow the fast healing to close his damage up from the environment mostly.

He turned look at Drall. "Stock is right. Having a god take a personal interest in you is a pretty big deal. So, let's do this without a lot of drama and just see what HE wants from you."
Getting down to adamantine tacks (DM MikeK) Sunday December 1st, 2024 7:07:58 PM
Zanderallen, Armalad, and Bartomus provide some much needed healing to the Shields.
While Zanderallen and Stohp continue peaceful discussions, Stock and Bartomus chime in with some hard facts.
Stock also finds Vanius' gear in the pile of ash. Whoops. DM backtracking to provide loot. In fact, there is quite a bit under there: Scroll of True Seeing, Scroll of Wall of Force, Potion of Inflict Serious Wounds (3) Glamered fortified(heavy) Mithril Shirt +5 Unholy Longsword +3 Greater ring of Energy Resistance (fire) Ring of Protection +5 Headband of Mental Prowess (+6 Int, +6 Cha) Belt of Physical Might (+6 Str, +6 Dex) Cloak of Resistance +5 Amulet of Natural Armor +5 Lavender and Green Ellipsoid Ioun Stone Orange Prism Ioun Stone
In the meantime, Delia is keeping her eyes open. The sharp eyed ranger spots a stationary circular shimmering 100’ above the statue.
Grantham Drall considers, then acquiesces. "If you leave my companions here to heal, I will go with you to see your god."
Armalad (Hugh) HP 127/154 AC 25 / Touch 19/ Flat 18 CMD 27 Monday December 2nd, 2024 12:21:55 AM
Armalad sees the headband in Vanus's remains and says, "I'd really, really, really like Vanus's headband to replace my own headband. It has a better Intelligence bonus than mine and a Charisma bonus that would benefit an ability I may yet learn"
The archon goes poof and Joker heals 2 more hp from his fast healing from being in the water barrel which Armalad plans to shrink again when her familiar is done
Armalad says to the team and Drall, "Drall's offer seems fair to me. Our mission was for him and him alone well and the scepter but that has been taken care of. The only question is how do we get out of this place seeing as how the portal vanished after Vanus and company got here? Also is there the possibility of potentially camping here before we leave or do we think we can make it to the tavern without too much trouble? I pretty much cast the most spells I've ever cast in those last 2 battles and while I have a few spells up my sleeve still a lot of my more powerful magic is tapped out at the moment"

(I think you meant Vanius's remains XD)
Stohp agrees instantly. "We never wanted to fight or kill any of you. Given how many are after the scepter, it might be best if we get them on their feet before we leave, in case others show up so they can defend themselves. At least, as long as you can keep them from attacking us again."

Stock nods at Drall and offers him a hand to help the troll stand up. "For what its worth, I'm not sure any of us like being at the beck and call of a deity either...After all, why do you think WE are here. Let's get this over with. First thing's first though, do you know how to get that portal back?"

Zander nods at Drall's request, "I have no problem with that. As long as they case no further trouble, I have no further trouble with them. But how to get our of here is the question." Zanderallen kinds of looks around sheepishly, finding something useful to do in offering his bag of holding to transport Vanius' gear, or whatever is left of it after it's picked through.
Delia (Hannah) HP: 162/187; AC 34/21/28; CMD 44 d20+31=37 ; Monday December 2nd, 2024 4:24:10 PM
Hawky - full HP
Delia points out the shimmering circle, "Anyone know what that is and if it could be a portal?" She will pull her spyglass out of her handy haversack and get a better look and share the spyglass with any who are magically inclined and could more easily figure out what's there.
Perception 37 if needed again, no arcana/spellcraft training
Anyone know what that is? (DM MikeK) Monday December 2nd, 2024 8:54:49 PM
Drall shakes his head in response to Stohp. "They will not understand why I am leaving and will try to prevent it. Best to leave them be. They will heal soon enough."
It is Vanius' loot the team discusses.
But mostly, the question is how to leave.
Delia points out a shimmering circle some 100' above the statue. "Anyone know what that is and if it could be a portal?"
She has a spyglass she shares with anyone who'd like a look. It certainly has the same look as the last portal the Shields used.
Drall nods his head in confirmation. "It is a Gateway," he states.
Armalad (Hugh) HP 127/154 AC 25 / Touch 19/ Flat 18 CMD 27 Tuesday December 3rd, 2024 12:04:52 AM
Armalad asks, "Can anyone else fly besides Joker, Hawky and I? Or are the three of us going to have to go through first and then lower a rope for the rest of you or something?"
"I guess we can wait on the treasure but as I've said I really really want the headband."
Joker heals up to full hp in the barrel and emerges "Nothing like a bath to rejuvenate oneself"
Armalad casrs shrink item on the barrel then empties the tiny amount of water from the tiny barrel

Stock checks his pack…”I have 2 potions of Fly…Armalad, Joker and Bart can make it up there….still not enough though. Yeah we will need to climb out unless we can convince that portal to come down here. Where are those creepy voices when you really need to ‘em?
Hello??? Voices??? Can you bring that portal down here?”

Bartomus had lost himself in his thoughts and snapped out of it when the question of flying came up.
"I can change into something huge that can fly - maybe an albatross? We put everything in the bag of holding and I could carry Stock for sure. Maybe also Delia?" Bartomus suggested.
He nodded at the rope idea too.
"Recon flight might make sense," Bartomus added.
Sorry, thought I posted yesterday - I am blaming this fever and fatigue loving bug I got on Friday. I am on the mend, but apparently not seeing all the details, lol.
Hawky and Delia have an awkward shuffle where he tries to land on her shoulder, but almost knocks her over instead. He sulkily perches on the nearest Taur's shoulder instead, having been banished from hers. "Hawky could fly me up while he's still enlarged and we could drop a rope. He's pretty buffed up right now, so he might be able to ferry more of us up. Definitely not Bart or Stohp though, sorry. Or uh, Drall since he's coming." She eyes the heavily armored and heavily built Zanderallen and Stock, wondering if Animal Growth magic is powerful enough to allow Hawky to carry them.
She looks between Zander and Stock, "I can go up first, but who wants to try it next?"
========== Hawky - 25 strength, Medium sized, carrying capacity: 0-266 lbs./267–533 lbs/534–800 lbs. He'd be reduced to 55 ft. at med or heavy loads, so it seems like he could bring the medium sized friends up with some effort

She volunteers as she stows the tiny barrel back in the haversack

“Oh yeah-Hawky is quite big. I forgot about that…it seems we should be set then.”
——- Bartomus, Armalad, Joker, Delia and Hawky have a solution That leaves Stohp, Stock, Z and Drall Stohp and Drall should get the potions since they are heaviest I’m sure we have 100+feet of rope so either Hawky makes multiple trips or Z and Stock climb the rope.

Zander looks up at the portal, "I can fly as well." He clicks the heels of his winged boots.

Stohp will go ahead and get rope out to start tying together to make one long enough to reach.
I can fly! (DM MikeK) Wednesday December 4th, 2024 10:15:38 AM
The Shields discuss how to reach the gate.
Drall shakes his head at suggestions of a rope being lowered from the other side. "Once through, you're through," he intones.
This is a depressing thought, until all the Shields note their capabilities. Armalad, Joker and Zanderallen can fly. Hawky is still big enough to bear Delia. Bart can change to a creature big enough to also bear Stock. And Stock has two potions of Fly, covering Drall and Stohp
Once the group has figured that out, the Voices don't bother answering Stock.
The loot from Vanius is gathered up, with some tripping over the body of the fighter who accompanied him..... Armalad asks the group if she can have the headband.
Delia (Hannah) HP: 162/187; AC 34/21/28; CMD 44 Wednesday December 4th, 2024 10:18:45 PM
Delia is fine with Armalad snagging the headband and will go up with Hawky right after Zander or Stock, bow in hand, just in case something is waiting for them.
Ooc (am I remembering right that Drall had demon-y bat wings or was that another creature we faced? If he does, can he fly with them?)
Armalad (Hugh) HP 127/154 AC 25 / Touch 19/ Flat 18 CMD 27 Thursday December 5th, 2024 12:17:28 AM
Armalad grabs the headband and temporarily stows it in the haversack.
"I'll swap once we are out of danger since it takes a short time for the bonuses to kick in." She reasons
Armalad and Joker are okay either going up with Delia and Hawky or right behind. Armalad has her bow and some spells left and Joker has some SLAs or magic ittems that could potentially help

Stock drinks a potion and flies upward with Drall…keeping an eye on the guy. On the way up he says, “I’m glad we came to an agreement. I still don’t trust you. I just thought you should know…”

Zanderallen activates his boots, gaining flight. "I'll take rearguard, right behind you Drall. Let's get moving, this is not a good place to stay." Zander takes position close behind Drall, motioning him to get moving once the fly potions are distributed.

The Taur shook out his limbs and transformed into a large eagle in a type that he had seen fly about the plains and even about the great lake. With a shimmy and then a screech in delight, he turned an a golden eye on Stock and winked. When he realized Stock was flying with the aid of a potion, he shifted back and then pushed hard into the sky. A few full flaps, he followed up after the others. He waited till everyone was through before he turned and flew through.
Perception 31 for coming through the portal.
Let's fly (DM MikeK) Thursday December 5th, 2024 4:43:39 PM
By various devices, The Shields get themselves and Grantham Drall flying for the shimmering gateway.
Stock and several others keep a close eye on Drall, but he does nothing untoward.
The party flies up through the gateway. There is an odd pulling sensation and then a change of gravity. The party is ejected sideways into a tavern room.
Once everybody comes to a halt and gets their bearings, the room seems familiar.
The main tavern is cozy. There's a fire to warm the bones. One end of the room holds a large window, where one can look out into the lavender twilight of the land. Past the bar, at the opposite end, are two large, dwarven statues. Both statues carry swords. The left statue sword hilt is engraved with the words "Giggling Ghost", the right statue sword hilt is engraved with "Wold Catacombs".
The tavern hall is empty but for a male elf behind the bar and a female elf regarding you with very little curiosity.

Stohp is surprised. Getting out of Kosh Mar was supposed to be hard. She was aware this place straddled most everywhere, but maybe now they can contact Gargul and be done with the quest!
Delia (Hannah) HP: 162/187; AC 34/21/28; CMD 44 Thursday December 5th, 2024 9:15:27 PM "Do you think the Lord of Death would mind if we stopped for a hot meal before returning?

Bartomus flew in and came out into a tavern room. He shifted as quickly as he could and was pretty sure there wasn't a squawk as he did so. He looked about and nodded at the two elves. He shifted and looked at Delia.
"I plan to drink and eat something. Can always carry it with us if necessary. Drall, what is it you drink?" Bartomus asked as he patted their guest on his shoulder and continued towards the bar.
"Sorry for the abrupt arrival, but we could use some good food and drink. I am hoping, almost praying, that you have a wonderful stash of a very cold, very sweet, honey mead. Plus, something good, full of flavor and delight to eat."

"Anyone else think this is too good to be true?"

The Inn (DM MikeK) Saturday December 7th, 2024 11:34:50 AM
Having tumbled into what the group collectively recognizes as the Inn produces several reactions.
Stohp and Armalad are suspicious. Armalad checks the place over with her Arcane Sight. The entire inn is artifact level magical. But the arcane archer detects no illusions. It's here and it's the same as last time.
Delia asks about maybe getting some food. Bartomus asks the bartender the same. The elf passes over a tankard of sweet, cold mead. "A dinner pie, perhaps?" he offers to the taur with a completely straight face.
Stock asks if they've been recognized. The bartender nods. "You were here earlier with the halfling, Brennan Proudfoot."
He nods toward Drall. "This is a place of refuge. We know he will not do harm."

"We'll need something sweet and savory after that of course."
Bartomus then glanced about.
"Come on Drall, time to eat and drink. We know we have an audience soon, so let's fortify ourselves for what ever lies ahead. Better to meet it with a full stomach and a smile, right?"
Bartomus fished out ten gold and sat the pieces on the bar.
"Let's make this be the start of our tab. Sheilds, let's eat!'

Before Stohp orders anything she wants to confirm if they can contact Gargul here and end the quest, or if they will have to return and get Drall out of Kosh Mar the hard way. She'll talk to the staff, explaining the whole situation. She's figuring one of them might know and doesn't to go breaking their magic summoning stick prematurely.

Stock listens closely to the conversations. He orders a glass of milk, as cold as they can find. “Been here before, Drall?”
Let's eat (DM MikeK) Monday December 9th, 2024 7:14:56 PM
Several of the Shields relax to the point where they can order some dinner. The meals come out quickly, hot and delicious.
Bartomus encourages Drall, who merely shakes his head. Stock asks the troll if he's been here before. Drall again shakes his head. The reticent fiendish troll does at least sit down. At last he lifts a hand, beckoning the elven waitress. She takes an order and returns in short order with a mug.
Stohp interrogates the bartender about Gargul. "He holds no sway here," the elf replies.
Armalad (Hugh) HP 127/154 AC 25 / Touch 19/ Flat 18 CMD 27 Tuesday December 10th, 2024 1:05:09 AM
Armalad says, "I guess after we eat we need to move on to activate the item Gargul gave us in order to reach him. Presumably we take the path by the statue that says Wold Catacombs and we can exit on The Float then we can go to Gargul right?"

Stohp suspects that this is just a break, not an end to the journey. For the moment there's nothing to do but take this chance to relax from the terror realm. It's nice to know you aren't being watched by creepy voices that offer you stupid deals that will clearly end badly.

Stock stands up and heads outside. He comes back in a moment later looking at a small smooth stone that while dark in color seems to have a constantly shifting iridescence. “Forgot to grab a keepsake before…”
He sits down again and asks Drall, “so in your mind, what is this scepter that Gargul sent us to retrieve? I make it a habit not to fully trust Gods I meet in person.”
Delia (Hannah) HP: 162/187; AC 34/21/28; CMD 44 Tuesday December 10th, 2024 11:30:35 AM "Sounds right, Armalad. Either to the Catacombs or Giggling Ghost, then off to break our magic stick and return to Lord Gargul."
She then lapses into silence, wholly absorbed in the hot meal. She feeds the now normal sized Hawky bits of her meal in relatively peaceful quiet. They both do make sure Drall is in their sightline at all times.

Zanderallen is at first overcome by the reaching a familiar place but eventually settles down to a meal. "Once we eat we should be able to step right outside and activate the item to return to Gargul. Maybe the spirits of whatever pocket realm we entered were happy to send us on our way after we killed Vanius. It still seems so strange that he's gone. He's been a specter in the back of my mind ever since we met him just down the road so many years ago."

Stock steps outside the Inn and finds it and he are situated on a bluff overlooking a wide swamp of water, fern and moss covered trees. A single full moon shines brightly in a night sky. The moon and its reflection light up the area in a soft glow. The howl of some animal drifts over the water below.
The dwarf is able to find a stone or two of interest near the inn's foundation.
He joins the rest of the Shields inside, where the party enjoys the food, wine, and peace and discuss next steps.
Stock asks Drall about the Scepter. Some in the group may recall that Gargul sent the party to retrieve Drall. He never said anything about wanting the Scepter.
Drall answers tiredly. "The Scepter grants the user the ability to provide themself or one other escape from any condition or circumstance. Poverty, imprisonment, death, disease, age, infirmity, a curse. Anything. That vampire could have escaped Koshe Marr, or his undeath. Whereas some wishes are interpreted by the grantor quite narrowly, the Scepter grants the spirit of the request, perfectly aligned with the user's intent."
Armalad (Hugh) HP 127/154 AC 25 / Touch 19/ Flat 18 CMD 27 Tuesday December 10th, 2024 9:25:48 PM
Armalad says, "So the Sceptre must be the key to defeating Karkasan once and for all if we could just phrase the request right? I mean its obvious why Karkasan wants it. I wonder if he even needs the armor and the crown if the sceptre alone would free him from his imprisonment."

Huh. Could they just use that to complete the quest? Stohp would have to think about it.

He looked about as he finished his last bite of the delicious meal. With a sip of mead, he downed it and sat back in his chair.
"So, we ready to go see Gargul?" Bartomus asked. He was getting up, mind you, but he was contemplating getting up and continuing on with their quest.
Delia (Hannah) HP: 162/187; AC 34/21/28; CMD 44 Wednesday December 11th, 2024 11:19:12 AM "Could we... Free Karkasan from his power? His evil? His madness? His... Lifeforce?" Delia adds into the mix as she finishes her food. She gets up, ready to return to Gargul.

Does anyone know if we're still somewhere else or have we made it back to the Wold proper? If we haven't resting here in the Safety of the Ghost is probably a good idea."
we ready to go? (DM MikeK) Wednesday December 11th, 2024 9:44:34 PM
The meal is finished.
The Shields ponder Drall's description of the Scepter and the various possibilities that introduces. In response to the discussion, the troll adds one more nugget. "Once used, the Scepter takes centuries to recharge."
Zanderallen asks once more if the group has made it back to the Wold.
Stock doesn't think so. The bartender also shakes his head. "The Inn is part of Koshe Marr".
Armalad (Hugh) HP 127/154 AC 25 / Touch 19/ Flat 18 CMD 27 Thursday December 12th, 2024 1:34:57 AM
Armalad says, "So we're still in Koshe Marr?"
"Innkeep or Boniface however you prefer to be addressed do you know how far it is to the giggling ghost or woldian catacombs by way of the paths by the statues?" Armalad asks
"Is one path shorter than the other?"
Stohp (Mitch) HP: 105/147AC: 27/15/23 CMD: 26 (+4 vs grapple,+6 disarm, trip) Thursday December 12th, 2024 9:09:42 AM
Huh. Long recharge time. "Assuming it's charged now, should we use it to so it can't be used again? We know the villain's are after it, and if the worst happens and they kill us or otherwise take it they won't be able to free their master with it. Heck, maybe there's some way of wording the wish to end the threat altogether."

Bartomus stretched, got up and headed over to Boniface with his mead stein.
"Let's have another please and what more do we owe you for this wonderful meal?
Zanderallen (Zachary H) 174/238 AC: 38 T: 15 FF: 37 CMD: 36 LoH 5/16 SE 1/6 Thursday December 12th, 2024 4:20:15 PM
Bummer, Zanderallen thinks as he learns that the inn is still in Koshe Marr. "We should not spend it without purpose. Freeing the world of Karkasan's taint seems like the best use. But we can't do any of that until we get going. Thank you for the food. Everyone ready?"
Delia (Hannah) HP: 162/187; AC 34/21/28; CMD 44 Thursday December 12th, 2024 7:07:19 PM
Delia does a quick check of her equipment, just in case something is waiting for them outside of Koshe Marr. "Ready."
Ready (DM MikeK) Thursday December 12th, 2024 8:34:52 PM
Stohp ponders using the Scepter now to remove the opportunity for anyone else. Bartomus and Zanderallen council patience.
Armalad asks about the quicker path. The bartender shrugs. "I do not know" However, the Shields recall the last time the dwarves pretty much acted like a teleport spell. Last time you stepped into the dwarf and stepped out of one of the magical fireplaces of the Giggling Ghost.
Armalad (Hugh) HP 127/154 AC 25 / Touch 19/ Flat 18 CMD 27 Thursday December 12th, 2024 11:43:41 PM
Armalad says, "I vote for the Ghost. Since last time we stepped into a dwarf we stepped out of one of the Giggling Ghost's fireplaces and we can see their yule preparations while we pass through."

(I misread a post a while back and though we were in the giggling ghost already XD. Thus my wonderings if we could just summon Gargul and be done with it).
Stohp nods, the Giggling Ghost is a good place to go for now.

He then walked over to the dwarf and stepped into. Fingers crossed, he thought to himself.

The Giggling Ghost (DM MikeK) Sunday December 15th, 2024 5:00:40 PM
Armalad pays for the meal, earning a respectful nod from the bartender.
The Shields, with Drall in tow, step into the arms of the Giggling Ghost dwarf.
No one feels anything. One step, into the arms of the dwarf statue. Next step, there is a flash of green and one is emerging from one of the Wold famous magical fireplaces within the Giggling Ghost.
As Armalad suspected, preparations for the Yuletide celebration, beginning a week from now! <-----shameless plug), are well under way. Half of the Ghost has been cordoned off and is undergoing a good cleaning. Space for the tree has been readied. And a steady parade of delivery persons carries in boxes and supplies of all shapes and sizes.
As the Shields get accusomted to the sight, a familiar voice booms out, "Ladies and Gentlemen! The Silver Shields!" Happy bellows enthusiastically, before trailing off, "and, uh, guest."
The Ghost erupts in cheers and toasts to the famed adventurers.

"This here is Drall. We all have an appointment to make, but I bet we could have a bit of pastry if you have them."
Bartomus looked at the others and then at the crowd. He nods, smiles, and waves at those who's greetings were extremely welcoming.
Stohp (Mitch) HP: 105/147AC: 27/15/23 CMD: 26 (+4 vs grapple,+6 disarm, trip) Monday December 16th, 2024 8:24:43 AM
Right. This is the place that touches all planes and Stohp was hoping would mean the end of the quest. Still there's a chance this won't be that easy, so she'll again inquire if they can contact Gargul here, walk out the door to their own homes, etc., or if the way they arrived precludes them from leaving or contacting anyone not already here. She rather expects the latter.
Zanderallen (Zachary H) 174/238 AC: 38 T: 15 FF: 37 CMD: 36 LoH 5/16 SE 1/6 Monday December 16th, 2024 5:20:54 PM
Slightly befuddled by the sudden rush of yuletide prep Zanderallen waves to Happy and motions to the door. "I'm a big fan of controlled spaces when performing extradimensional travel. Let's head to the HQ and open Gargul's portal from there. And Drall welcome to the Float. Let's go."
Delia (Hannah) HP: 162/187; AC 34/21/28; CMD 44 Monday December 16th, 2024 5:29:04 PM
Delia quickly ducks out of the Giggling Ghost and out of the sudden cheers to take a look outside before they all burst out.
She agrees with returning to HQ.
Armalad (Hugh) HP 127/154 AC 25 / Touch 19/ Flat 18 CMD 27 Monday December 16th, 2024 5:41:35 PM
Armalad is impressed by Bartomus's appetite, "We just had that fine dinner at that inn in Koshe Marr and you're telling me you still have room for pastries?"
She then agrees with the others about heading back, "Yes, let us be back home and get this quest for Gargul completed so we can ponder how we can use the crown, the armor and the sceptre to stop Karkasan once and for all."
Bartomus(Rod) 3/15 // HP: 153/153 AC 21; Glv +18 2d8+2 Slng +15 CMD 14 Melee 13/8/3;Perc+18;Heal+12 Monday December 16th, 2024 6:36:39 PM
Bartomus having picked up a hot apple turn over as be left a few slivers before beginning to eat it looked at Aralad confused.
"What have you got against pastries?"
He waived at Happy as he continued to chew and walk out of the Ghost.

Stock shakes a few hands of well wishers, fans and friends on his way out of the Ghost. “Some days I remember just what a good choice I made in settling here…”
Zanderallen (Zachary H) 174/238 AC: 38 T: 15 FF: 37 CMD: 36 LoH 5/16 SE 1/6 Tuesday December 17th, 2024 5:15:17 PM
Zanderallen has a moment as they're travelling to think about what people would think about Drall walking the streets with them. Hopefully flanked by two taurs he won't stick out that much. Plus walking in the middle of the Silver Shields should stop any concerns.
Lord Gargul (DM MikeK) Tuesday December 17th, 2024 5:40:39 PM
Stohp braces herself for possible disappointment. Unfortunately for the pessimistic taur, there isn't any.
The Shields exit a cheering Giggling Ghost, after helping themselves to whatever pastries and drinks they wish (more than enough is offered by staff and customers alike).
They move with ease to Shield HQ and get themselves into a controlled environment with no issues.
Zanderallen breaks the rod.
Without any warning at all, the Shields again find themselves on a wide but shallow deck jutting out into a small pond. Glades and woods border the forest. A small dirt trail leads back from the deck to a small wooden cabin, where a tendril of smoke lazily rises from the lone chimney. It feels like early morning, just after dawn. A mist rises above the pond. Crickets chirp and birds call.
Reclining in a wooden Adirondack chair is a handsome older gentleman. He has a fishing pole in left hand, which flicks the pole occasionally. In his right is a champagne glass filled with an orange bubbly liquid.
Gargul rises and faces the Shields. The god of death is beaming from ear to ear. "Well done, Silver Shields. Very well done indeed."
In the fiendish troll's place stands a male elf, decked out in mithril plate with the High Woldian symbol of Gargul etched in its chestplate in gold. A greatsword is strapped to his back. His piercing green eyes blink several times, as if emerging from a fog. His eyes clear. He takes in the scene. And he collapses to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably.
Gargul watches silently, but a brief flash of anguish crosses his features before he resumes his placid norm.

Bartomus had made a deep bow towards Gargul and then glanced over to see what Drall was doing. He gasped when he saw the knightly elf in armor that would make Zander envious. When the elf fell to his knees sobbing, Bartomus raised himself up and glanced at Gargul.
He kept looking from the troll turned knightly elf to Gargul and then back at the elf. He did this a few times and tried to figure out what was actually going on.
Armalad (Hugh) HP 127/154 AC 25 / Touch 19/ Flat 18 CMD 27 Wednesday December 18th, 2024 4:16:19 AM
Armalad asks the party in a whisper, "So did Grall used to be an Elf worshipper of Gargul?"
Stohp (Mitch) HP: 105/147AC: 27/15/23 CMD: 26 (+4 vs grapple,+6 disarm, trip) Wednesday December 18th, 2024 8:27:31 AM
Stohp doesn't answer, allowing god and follower to have a moment in respectful silence.
Zanderallen (Zachary H) 174/238 AC: 38 T: 15 FF: 37 CMD: 36 LoH 5/16 SE 1/6 Wednesday December 18th, 2024 4:53:45 PM
Zanderallen is almost getting use to this plane shifting. Taking a moment to bask in the tranquility of the place. He bows in respect to Gargul in response to the praise before noticing the troll in their midst is no more. He notes the elf's garb and Gargul's pain and unable to stand and do nothing he makes an assumption and providing a supporting hand on the elf's shoulder says, "Welcome back, friend."
Delia (Hannah) HP: 162/187; AC 34/21/28; CMD 44 Wednesday December 18th, 2024 5:21:01 PM
Delia stands by silently after a respectful nod to Gargul, letting the elf take as long as he needs. She reflects on Gargul's reputation and the unease she tends to feel about him in contrast to the care he's revealed to them and the generous second chances he actually gives.
Reunion (DM MikeK) Wednesday December 18th, 2024 6:43:54 PM
After a few more moments, elf-Drall composes himself, reaches up, and places his hand over Zanderallen's own. Rising to his feet, he clasps the paladin in a fierce hug. "Thank you," he whispers into the man's ear.
Letting go, Drall faces Gargul. The expression on his face and the steel in his eyes are pretty clear indicators of what he's about to ask.
The old man shakes his head. "No, my Grim. You have earned your rest. Go and take it."
Drall hesitates a brief moment before accepting with a bow of his head. The elf dissipates and is gone.
Gargul turns back toward the Shields. "A soul for a soul, Silver Shields. Your debt is fulfilled."
He sits back down in his adirondack, and casts out a line. "Oh, I also left a pile of diamonds on your dining room table. For your preparation for your next chapter. I will also give you a few minutes more here, should you have any further questions?"
Armalad (Hugh) HP 127/154 AC 25 / Touch 19/ Flat 18 CMD 27 Thursday December 19th, 2024 3:22:47 AM
Armalad says, "Forgive my ignorance and intrusion into this, m'lord, but just what exactly is Grantham Drall's full story?"
Stohp (Mitch) HP: 105/147AC: 27/15/23 CMD: 26 (+4 vs grapple,+6 disarm, trip) Thursday December 19th, 2024 8:51:49 AM
Stohp was about to answer Armalad's previous question, but she asks Gargul so she lets the god tell it.
Zanderallen (Zachary H) 174/238 AC: 38 T: 15 FF: 37 CMD: 36 LoH 5/16 SE 1/6 Thursday December 19th, 2024 4:50:20 PM
Zander returns Drall's hug with equal ferocity. He turns his head to hide wiping his eyes. His thoughts wander to Domi as Drall disappears into the Lands of Rest, silently praying someday he may earn that same praise from his patron. He then bows to Gargul, "Thank you Lord Gargul. You have done my heart good to be part of returning Drall to where he's supposed to be." He listens with interest if Gargul chooses to share Drall's story.

"We didn't get our Nemesis, bit we have denied him the scepter, we think."
Bartomus shrugged.
Delia (Hannah) HP: 162/187; AC 34/21/28; CMD 44 Thursday December 19th, 2024 5:34:30 PM
Some unknown tension releases in Delia's chest. Somehow, doing Gargul a favor made it easier to feel she deserved this second chance. And she knew she wouldn't waste it, even if it only lasted until Karkasan was permanently put down, she would make good on his generosity.
Reunion (DM MikeK) Thursday December 19th, 2024 8:43:45 PM
Gargul casts his line again, considering the Shields' request.
At last, he decides to offer this, "As I had told you, Koshe Marr is a land of great evil and temptation. Most find themselves being tempted beyond their ability to withstand. Grantham Drall was one such. He was a Grim, one of my best. He entered Koshe Marr....and was lost."
"The powers there, knowing my affinity for him, took great pleasure in subverting his mind."
"This is all I wish to say on the matter."
There is silence.
Bart adds, ""We didn't get our Nemesis, bit we have denied him the scepter, we think."
Gargul responds, "Yet. With the Scepter, you have the means."
Armalad (Hugh) HP 127/154 AC 25 / Touch 19/ Flat 18 CMD 27 Thursday December 19th, 2024 11:35:39 PM
Armalad responds to Gargul's observation, "It is funny you mention that. I was speculating over dinner that if we were to word our request to the sceptre correctly we could be rid of Karkassan once and for all. Do you know any pitfalls concerning the use of the sceptre? Is it literal in the interpretation of wording of requests or do you get what you ask for but it includes an unexpected negative unless you word the request in such a way to prevent it like the mythical monkey paw?"
Stohp (Mitch) HP: 105/147AC: 27/15/23 CMD: 26 (+4 vs grapple,+6 disarm, trip) Friday December 20th, 2024 7:41:48 AM "We were told that the scepter honors the spirit of the request, not just the letter, so no monkey paws. Perhaps we ourselves can use it to extract the evil of the woods and destroy it safely, denying the lizard folk their scheme and ending the danger of the woods. It'll take some thinking."

"I wonder if there might be a way to remove that evil. We know that some aspects of the wood were bound and created for long forgotten purposes. Could the evil be the same? Could it be living it's own tormented reality like Drall?"

Zander queries Gargul, "I know you are not fond of those who would cheat death. Karkasan has avoided answering your judgement for a very long time. Do you know if the scepter has the power to end him or merely make him vulnerable?"
Delia (Hannah) HP: 162/187; AC 34/21/28; CMD 44 Friday December 20th, 2024 10:43:27 PM
Delia waits to see if Gargul will/can answer their questions. It would be great if they could use to scepter to completely end Karkasan, but things never seemed to be that easy. Still, she was curious.
