"Great, jussst great," Dwight mumbles before he manages to stop himself. He was ready to cast enlarge person on Mac, but given that it might be a bit before combat he holds.
Dwight hovers on his broom looking in each direction, sitting on the back of his broom, is Whisk, a small eagle the gray knights haven't seen in a bit.
Grabbing two normal arrows, Dwight pinches their fletches and shoots them into the ground, marking the general location of the gateway that cannot be seen.
He then looks to the others to pick a direction.
Jass of Downs AC:27 CMD: 22 HP: 197/178 d20+20=34 ; Friday April 29th, 2011 10:13:03 AM
"Save your magic, Monthor. No one could see on the other side which would make your magics not work. Besides, this place appears to be another dimension, and lesser transportation magics do not work across dimensional barriers."
Jass sounds monotone, feeling the death in the land about him calling seductively the negative energies that haunt him since he first died. Was it only a few weeks ago?
"Be ready. I am sure the Dread Lich could feel when the Soul Gems were gathered. It knows we are here."
He looks about, searching for an enemy.

Into the Dread Sunday May 1st, 2011 12:02:09 PM
As you decide to set off, and look for something a voice comes to you. It seems to come from everywhere, yet nowhere at the same time. "And so you are here. I can feel you, see you, I know you...and I will devour your souls. Know that through your deaths, I will be propelled to the next realm. I will take my rightful place among the gods of Testing. Too long has Gargul wavered, too long has he sat softly upon another throne. Through your deaths a true god of Death will arise and your lands will be unmade. My vassals have honed you, prepared you, tempered you, raised you above all others. They did all at my bequest, all as I have planned for time and time again, but finally the mortal wold has produced a crop of souls worthy of my last design. And so here in the void of no Wold, beyond reach and reckon of all. Here beyond the taint of Life, here is where I can finally bring your lives to an end. Here where the pathetic shell of Gargul cannot reach, his glacomic eye cannot see, his limited faculties cannot concieve. Here I will tear your very souls from you and here I WILL BECOME A GOD!
The voice then leaves you in the silence of this desolate wasteland to continue wandering.
Starting now I will need a Perception check every time you post.
Also, I need a Will Save.

"...but I don't mind not taking the stroll if it means I can listen to more of this." But Machesthai has long since learned his lessons on the matter of talking in a forthright, frank and fearless fashion to beings who hold or covet the role of God of Death. Besides, that he makes no claim to the mantle now is heartening indeed. "Does anyone else find it odd how we have suddenly gone from being inconsequential one moment to sole conduits to God-dom then next?"

Jass feels uneasy about the land, the slow maisma and death that surrounds them. The VOICE out of nowhere doesn't help his morale either.
The sorcerer quickly checks his Detect Scrying spell, making sure it is still operating, and checks to see if the Dread knows they are there by any scrying, and tells the others. "The alternative is that it is in complete control of this pocket dimension, which can be a very bad thing indeed."
A strong will and stronger senses let the once-dead sorcerer to percieve things around him, and he uses that in conjunction with his vast knowledge in things to try and understand where they are and what they are going to do. Anything he can surmise he also tells the other heroes.
"Give me some minutes, and I can send out magical Prying Eyes so we do not have to wander aimlessly", says the thin sorcerer.

Jass takes a minute (10 rounds) of casting to create 21 small 'eyes'. He quirks a grin then speaks to the eyes. "surround me and go out one mile and then return to show me everything you have seen".
The eyes zip in all directions like 21 equi-distant needles on a compass, able to see things as if possessing True Seeing, after a mile, they return and play their recording to Jass.
If nothing has been found, Jass has them go out 2000 feet and surround him as they walk to get advance warning of any unusual structures or any living, moving thing.

This plane weighs heavily on some of the heroes, or maybe it's the ill effects from the horrible contagion of a portal, but nonetheless, some of you are feeling less than wholesome.
Vedik takes 2 points of Constitution damage.
Jass takes 2 points of Constitution damage.
If either of you have Disease or Poison Immunity, or Adaption, let me know.
Dwight, if we went with your first roll and your will modifier, bad things would have happened to you. You get the benefit of the doubt though...
This plane seems to go on forever, or at least as far as any of you can see. While you are all being rather attentive, the plane seems so different from anything you have seen before, and thus, you still are uncertain what you are looking for.
The group searches for nearly an hour and finds... nothing.
The prying eyes find... nothing. Not even the magical eyes with their True Seeing seem to be of much help.
You can't help but feel that wandering and looking some more will help you find a way to the Dread. Of course you could be wrong. Dead wrong.

The sorcerer feels the demi-plane draining his energy, his life. Perhaps the negative energies already inside him make him more vulnerable? No matter, it only makes it more vital to find the Dread and end its existance before succumbing to death as the Voice had said.
Is there anything in this plane that can give him a clue? Jass searches his knowledge for an answer.

To Jass, everything in this realm feels as if it allows the Dread Lord to spy on you. You can not detect where it is coming from, but it is obvious he is watching you. Your knowledge of the Arcane allows you to gather that this... plane, was created by another, very powerful caster.
Vedik struggles to maintain a grip on his sanity, but realizing what is at stake, he refocuses himself. He thinks he sees something, off to the west. It could be his eyes playing tricks on him, but he thinks... thinks, he sees something to the west. It was at most just a flicker, and he doesn't see it any more, but it "might" have been something.
Mac strikes the ground and isn't to surprised that nothing happens. Well aside from the fact that the ground is utterly destroyed. It was after all very brittle and dry wasteland type dirt.

Jass relays his speculations to the Gray Knights and Crimson Shields. "This dimension is a Prison for the Dread, but it has been here so long, the entire dimension reflects its evil." The sorcerer coughs, and looks in the direction Vedik indicates.
"Eyes! Go one mile in that direction, in three lines of seven Eyes. Each Eye is 100 feet away from every neighbor. If Seven Eyes are destroyed, return and report. If nothing happens, return in 10 minutes."
He bows to Monthor and waves in the direction of the image Vedik spotted. "Lead the way, Fearless Leader." And the sorcerer waits to walk with the group.

Vedik points out that he saw, or might have saw something to the west and Belkior encourages the group to investigate.
Jass sends the Prying Eyes off in that direction to see what can be found. The do indeed find something. A column of sorts that seems to stretch as far as the eye can see.
Dwight paranoid about keeping an eye on his arrows and an exit is the first to succumb to the madness that this dreary and desolate land can wreak upon a mortal.
Mac soon follows Dwight into the madness and insanity that now grips them both.
Dwight and Mac are both plagued my madness and babble incoherently in a perpetual state of confusion.
Dwight and Mac ONLY: Highlight to display spoiler: {You are confused as if by the spell Insanity.}
Vedik, I need a Will save for last round.
Everyone else who is not babbling incoherently, I need another will save for this round.

The arrow pierces Jass from Dwight's bow, but being good, and having both Stoneskin and protection v Fire on himself, the wound is negligible. It is Mac the sorcerer is more worried about. Much, much more worried about.
To try and hold the great minotaur's axe, Jass holds his actions to see if the 'protection' spells have any effect. Jass readies a strong spell to put Mac temporarily under his control if the minotaur tries to attack himself or his friends again.

ooc: with Jass' Readied spell, he casts before Mac actually attacks anyone. If Mac fails the save, Jass is now in control of Mac and the minotaur's insanity can't control his actions. Jass does.
As soon as Mac raises his axe again, Jass casts his Readied spell and Dominates the minotaur's mind. Seeing Monthor also falling victim to the demi-plane, the sorcerer tries to temporarily take care of two birds with one stone "Grab Monthor and do not let him go until I tell you otherwise", is the mental command, and should start the minotaur and dwarf wrestling and stop them from hurting anyone seriously.
Then the sorcerer turns to the floating Dwight who shot an arrow at him. A bit of shadow magic, and Jass conjures a Greater Shadow Conjuration: Resilient Sphere to trap Dwight and keep him from shooting people.
Thinking hard, Jass tries to determine if the sudden craziness is a curse, magic, or something else. He looks at Vedik and his dead-looking eyes are without his usual humor. "Can we restore our companions or do we leave them and continue on ourselves?"

Mac's Will Save vs Jass: 21 (3rd Natural 1 on a Will Save this combat, and we haven't met our opponent yet!)
This is Madness!!! Monday May 9th, 2011 8:12:57 PM Mac looks around acting as if nothing has happened.
Belkior contemplates the best way to help his friends. From his experience he knows that it is mostly likely just natural effects from spending time on this plane. The only way you can this of helping your friends are with greater restoration, heal, limited wish, miracle, or wish.
Vedik cast Good Hope on the party hoping to instill hope that the party will succeed in all of them.
Jass uses his readied spell on Mac dominating him, he then commands him to grapple Monthor and pin him to the ground. Jass then casts another spell on Dwight, effectively imprisoning him. Jass talks to Belkior and you both decide that either greater restoration, heal, limited wish, miracle, or wish are the only way to reverse the confusion your friends are experiencing.
Dwight gets imprisoned in the resilient sphere of [b]Jass'.
Monthor has a large minotaur trying to restrain him.
Mac, I need a grapple check from you.

Dwight motions to load his bow again, as habit dictates, only to find he is imprisoned. It seems as if he had just awoken from a dream -- only the arrow near Jass' foot shows the reality of what he had done. "Jassssss, I'm not sssure what happened, I couldn't control myssself."
Dwight then attempts to move about, but find his path blocked in all directions, and instead looks about.

Jass divulges his information. "I can cast LImited Wish three times to free our comrades, though it will use up much of my diamond dust that I have for just such an occasion."
The sorcerer suggests that Tratain, Belkior, and Jass each cast one spell to free one of the group. If the others can't, Jass will cast enough Limited Wish spells to free all three companions; Monthor, then Mac, then Dwight.
Once freed, Jass will explain to them that they were under an enscocellment, and only the great power of the sorcerer was able to get them to stop killing each other and be cured. "What can I say, I'm just that good.", he concludes modestly. His everything-is-right-with-anyplace-that-has-Jass-in-it smile is back and intact.

The halfling cleric considers what he and Jass have determined.
"If Tratain is able, and has it memorized, why not cast Mass Heal once? Perhaps once we are engaged in combat?"
Belkior looks around at his companions, trying to determine how many of them are still actively engaged in this battle.
"Besides, what is the point of curing the weak-minded if they only fall subject to the nature of this place again? Let's press forward, and you keep them under control until we're actually engaged in combat. Otherwise, we're likely to just do this again."
OOC - Who actually is still posting? In the past month, I only see Belkior, Jass, Dwight, Mac, Monthor and Vedik.
Mr DM, Sir - is it time to re-calibrate this battle considering that a significant portion are AWOL?

For the past few seconds, everyone seems to be... back to normal. Although you are rather certain it is just a momentary break in the madness.
As all put their thoughts together, it seems that the insanity slowly creeps upon you after you have been in the area for a while. Namely about an hour or so.
You also know that Mass Heal would be the most cost effective way to counter, if not protect from the insanity.
Being somewhat hyper vigilante and standing very near the column that reaches up into the air... it seems odd somehow. The column seems to be made of the same dry material as the ground.

Column, where did that come from as Dwight tries to put together the small amount of time that he doesn't recall. If he were able, he'd fire an arrow into it, but the sphere prevents such action. Instead he sends Whisk around to inspect the column.

(since there were no mass heal identified, Jass cast 3 each Limited Wishes and I recorded them. Once the three are cured, Jass dismisses the Domination and Resilient Sphere. Everyone is happy! :-)
The column is massive and reaches to the sky. Jass calls his Greater Prying Eyes together and tells them to look at the column for a mile up to see if there is any change.
"Failing anything else, I say we experiment with the column. Hitting it, casting a heal spell on it, and the like. If this is the only thing on this demi plane, there HAS to be some connection between this column and the DREAD."

Attacking the column... does little aside from put a slash in it. However as you get close and stand near the column, gravity begins to shift so that you are are able to walk on the column if you so desire. The column seems to go up as far as you can see.
You are unable to tell what or how this change in gravity happens, it just... does.

Jass agrees with Belkior. "Time to move upwards, eh?" Still, the sorcerer takes the precaution of casting a Fly spell on him first just in case the gravity suddenly shifts.
"Everyone has a method to control your own velocity in case of a fall?" he jests.

The group sets off, following the column up... It seems to go on for quite a while.
After walking for several miles all magic items, buffs and protections cease to function. For those flying, they fall to the column. You notice if you take a few steps back your items begin working again. When you move back forward, the items fail again. It most certainly seems as if you walked into an anti-magic field.
Ahead, maybe 1 mile, maybe 3 miles, that the column turns into a flat surface, almost like an island on top of the column.
What to do?
Dwight hp 207/218, ac 33/25/34)) Saturday May 14th, 2011 3:48:01 PM
Dwight, floating on his broom, attempts to find the boundaries of the field (height wise), by sticking his arm out and feeling the effect. He does this as the group continues, not wanting to hold the group up any, and feeling the answer is likely trivial anyways if he can't fly to get above it once inside.
Being somewhat limited, Dwight suggests the prying eyes attempt to stay out of range, while looking ahead. Otherwise, Dwight is forced to hoof it, something he is unaccustomed to.
OOC: How thick was the column? Does it seem to be load bearing, as in tree-like - thicker on the bottom than the top?
Otherwise, Dwight has nothing significant to offer. :-(

Pushing forward, the group goes nearly two miles before the anti-magic wears off and your magic items begin functioning again. You are roughly a 1/4 of a mile away from the large shelf on top of the column. It is obvious you are on the bottom of the platform.
Jass of Downs AC:27 CMD: 22 HP: 174/178 (-2 CON) Monday May 16th, 2011 10:25:25 AM
Uneasy in the anti-magic field, Jass is looking at the set-up of this demi-plane; the plane, the column, the anti-magic, the platform, the knowledge that this was all built by something else other than the Dread. "It is like this is one, big prison for the master lich. Yet after eons of incarceration, the evil of the lich has slowly been seeping into the plane and it has been able to work with the outside wold. If it escapes, it may need the powers to go to war, for it will be beyond the ability of mortals."
The sorcerer continues to follow, waiting to see if the unusual gravity of the column extends to the underside of the platform.

Dwight's taunt is diliberate in the hopes of bringing the walking to an end.

Entrance of the Dread Tuesday May 17th, 2011 3:49:51 PM
Doubting that you would ever reach the dread, as you make your way to the top of the platform you see a large sphere. The sphere is roughly 400ft in diameter. in front of you is a large door, 15ft wide and 30ft tall.
You neither hear nor see anything inside the sphere, but you feel a presence, a presence of pure evil in its most deadly form. As you near the door, you hear the voice of the dread again.
"Enter so that I may destroy you, and fulfill my destiny and take my rightful place as a god."
Dwight hp 207/218, ac 33/25/34)) Tuesday May 17th, 2011 4:18:37 PM
Dwight looks to the others and thinks of his past encounters culminating in this final battle. He finds it a fitting end, a it ends where his adventure began.
The thoughts drift through his mind as he recalls being witness to the birth of a small child in Crescent Valley. The birth was unusual, and within moments changed the Wold, for the birth was not the birth of a normal child, but the rebirth of Ebryron. The magick's and knowledge was beyond Dwight at the time, though his compassion and quick thinking preventing Ebryron from destroying the valley. Oddly, his first attack on another being happened to be a god, and he was defeated mostly by the timing and position of a knife thrown knocking a powerful necklace from his hands.
Now, having gained in knowledge and precision he finds himself before something that believes itself to be a god. Dwight's precision and timing will decide it's success. He shall either have tales beyond belief to tell to any who will listen, or be lost beyond the aid of even Gargul; though his link with Ebryron seems to exist through Whisk still.
While all these thoughts filter through his mind, the only words that are uttered are, "Bring it"

Jass sees the object of what looks like the end of thier quest, but the sorcerer's mind moves in different circles from Dwight. The once care-free man has always been a traveller, moving from place to place, letting his powers take care of him and letting the Powers take care of themselves. And then he was whisked away to Floating City and met up with Syr, Belkior, Brahmah, Mac, and the others. And they had some strange notions; didn't know anything about the Powers and talked about all-powerful beings as gods. Huh. Weird name for powers. And then he died, and met Gargul, and was given back his life. Good power to know, eh?
And this dead creep is thinking he'll be a Power like Gargul? "Not likely," Jass says aloud to himself, "Gargul the Power is in charge of the transition of death AND life. And you are long overdue for that transition."
Jass casts a Shield to give him a measure of protection.
Jass thinks and looks at the sphere. Is it a prison like he is certain, trapping the Dread, or is it of its creation and a recepticle to help it control this demi-plane?

The old dwarfs' mind goes back to his early days. A simple potter, until that fateful flood that revealed his true calling to serve Alemi in a new way. Those early years as the Fixer sect organized. And then the fuzzy details of his death, and the ten years he spent in Gargul's realm until he was called forth into the land of the living once more. He smiles as he remembered learning how far the Fixers had come while he was gone, a full blown Sect now.
"Bah, I'm getting sentimental in my old age. " he says suddenly, snapping out of it.
"Let's end this."
He casts a summoning spell.

The only spells you have are those cast with permanency, and those cast in the past two rounds.
If it is a permanent item, it still functions.
Jass contemplates this plane and decides, this is less of a prison and more of a sanctum. Jass can't tell what spells are being cast, but there is a remarkable aura of necromancy permeating from inside the sphere.
It seems the Dread is preparing for the big finale.

Vedik | HP 197/199 | AC 33/14/30 | CMD 31 Character SheetSpells and Effects Monday May 23rd, 2011 11:06:47 PM
Vedik follows behind the heavy hitters, braced for the worst. He sends his elemental in first to take the initial onslaught and scout the area. He knows that whats beyond that portal will be brutal, savage and show no mercy.
The Big Finale Tuesday May 24th, 2011 6:55:03 PM
The time for talking has come to an end and you assault the sphere.The elementals make their way into the sphere and... nothing happens. You make your way through the doorway and see only two things of interest. The first is a diminutive skull glowing green 200ft up (in the perfect center of the sphere) hovering. The second is a glowing sphere of utter darkness and pure negative energy. It utterly sucks the light out of the surrounding area. Without out even thinking, it is quite obvious this is a sphere of annihilation.
You prepare to unload all of your big spells, but before you can, all hell breaks loose.
One second everything seems normal, the next the battlefield has changed drastically.
First, your skin begins to crack and turn brittle as it dries out. Everyone take 120 points of Damage Fortitude save DC 34 for half. Spellcraft or Knowledge: Arcana DC 26Highlight to display spoiler: {Maximized Horrid Wilting}
Secondly Vedik, Monthor and Mac are stuck in a fog of sort (20ft radius) Will Save DC 29, Spellcraft or Arcana DC 21 Highlight to display spoiler: {Mind Fog}
Also, there is a Wall of Force in that extends above Jass and Dwight (roughly 50ft up and out 100ft wide and 100ft in length. (it essentially covers half the radius of the sphere.
There is a Wall of Fire going from the ground, up to the Wall of force in front of Monthor and Mac preventing them from going towards the middle of the sphere.
There is a Wall of Ice separating Vedik from Monthor and Mac. Jass and Dwight are stuck in the same area as Monthor and Mac. Vedik is essentially trapped as the entrance to the sphere has closed up solid.
Oh, and also, a Prismatic Wall sets itself up between the fliers Jass and Dwight and their friends on the ground, Monthor and Mac.
The skull has some protection around it as well, as some sort of force field: Highlight to display spoiler: {Sphere of Invulnerability} as well as some more Fog Highlight to display spoiler: {Mind Fog}
More bad news, though, Vedik needs to make a Fortitude DC 34 or else Highlight to display spoiler: {Lose 12 Levels per Energy Drain}
Last but not least, a huge Fireball goes off, doing 120 points of Fire Damage, Reflex DC 33 for Half.
You guys get the idea that somehow the Dread stopped time... quite possibly more than once.
OOC: OK guys, this is it... go big or... you won't have a home to go back to.
Belkior - HP 156/156 - AC 27 (Touch 16, Flat 24) CMD +24 - SR 33 - Resist Energy(x5), Protection from Energy(x5), Death Ward Tuesday May 24th, 2011 9:44:58 PM
The halfling cleric follows the others through the portal after activating his Celestial Armor. He doesn't know where he is in relation to the others.
OOC - No mention of Spell Resistance (which almost everyone has) checks ... do we assume that the opponent bypasses?

Jass flies into the sphere and he is slapped strongly with... "Horrid Wilting!" he shouts in agony, the same spell that killed him only weeks ago far below the lake of Floating City. (Fort 30 fail; 120 damage, Spellcraft 28 OK)
He runs into a Wall of Force, and is isolated by a Prismatic Wall from the ground and is only in a small flying area with Dwight. He is easily able to see what is protecting the skull of the Dread; "A Sphere of Invulnerability and Mind Fog is protecting the demi-lich!" (Spellcraft 37, 39 OK)
And then a huge fireball burns in the sphere. Amazingly enough, Jass is able to avoid half of it, and his Fire Protection absorbs the rest so he is not fried outright. (Reflex 35, half, 60 Prot =0)
Trusting in the clerics to start throwing mass healing spells to keep him alive, Jass works to remove the obstacles for the others. Jass flies over to Dwight and touches the Witch, casting a Quickened Dimension Door to get just above Mac and Monthor.
Then the sorcerer focuses on opening the battlefield a little by casting a greater dispel magic on the wall of ice to enable Vedik and Belkior to join them, but fails to dispel the wall. (Dispel 23; Hero point 27)

The veteran dwarf faces the onslaught, thankful for the protections of his friends.
With an instant gesture, a green ray shoots from his hand to the Dread.
He then casts a timestop of his own, which ends with an attempt to dispel the wall of force.
OOC: I had missed that we had both resist and protection from fire going...whee. not dead. Vedik takes 120 damage from the horrid wilting, 77 hp remaining Vedik saves vrs the mind fog Vedik fails the fireball save. 120 damage is absorbed by his Protection from Fire, destroying it.

OOC: Yikes, so much going on. I've read the postings 4-5 times and still a bit lost on what I can see (and what remains). Here is my attempt.
Saving throws: Fort Save DC 34 -- 31 + 2 GH = 33 FAIL - lost 120 hp, at 98hp (dang, so close) . ---spellcraft: 25 + 2 GH = 27 PASS (I don't think I like that spell.) ---Does spell resistance apply? 65% -- failed to resist
Reflex Save DC 33 -- 43 + 2 GH PASSED (Evasion, no damage)
Dwight manages to remain floating, though a little worse looking that mere seconds ago. He tries to gather all the information that seems to have suddenly appear. (Spellcraft to see what is around skull: 23 (sphere of invul.), 17 (fog) -- doesn't matter since Jass has informed us)
OOC: Just a thought -- The fireball was cast last. It's blast went through the walls (ice and prismatic), and didn't melt the ice wall?
Now onto the "if's" Should the wall of force be gone, Dwight opens fire at the Lich.
IF the wall of force is still in the way. OOC: Can I activate boots and fire one arrow in the same round? Assuming yes.
Dwight activates his boots of teleport, appearing behind the lich, 25'. And fires his arrow. (use att #1, with an additional +3d6 dmg --- 10 dmg from point blank and sneak attack)

ROSEBUD! Monthor attempts to teleport himself - with the helm of teleportation- ( and Mac if there's enough room) IN the sphere with the skull.

Belkior nearly succumbs to the Horrid Wilting but reaches deep inside himself for the strength to withstand it. Fortitude = 24 (natural 1), Hero Point to re-roll, 37 (half damage) Spellcraft = 37
He withstands the mind-sapping magic and recognizes it, also. Will = 39, Spellcraft = 35
After all that, Belkior takes the full force of the Fireball, which completely strips one of his protective spells.
Belkior decides to heal himself and his companions, he channels the energy granted him by Alemi.

Interesting... If Mac sees the skull in reach he makes every effort to strike (and strike, etc) it down - intensely focused to the point of ignoring the fact that he may now be some 200' in the air with no visible means of support. Though, gravity has been more than a little unusual already... 1:[Miss]/Haste:[40|55]/2:[35|58]/3:[30|56}]/4:[Miss]***
Of course, if the teleportation did not work then Mac looks to breaking through a suitable wall (ice looks good, and it is hard to miss a wall), and enjoying the Healing from Belkior.
Highlight to display spoiler: {For those who weren't paying attention that was five d20 rolls that SUM to 17, including two natural 1s!}
The Big Finale 20d6=73 ; 20d100=870 ; d100=81 ; d100=70 ; d100=90 ; d20=17 ; d20=6 ; d20=18 ; Thursday May 26th, 2011 5:16:32 PM OOC: Just a note, inside the sphere, gravity functions as normal with the area you came in being oriented so that if you walk in your feet are on the floor. The top of the sphere is the ceiling, the dread is in the middle.
Also, I rolled for Spell Resistance, and the Dread overcomes on all three spells he cast this round (yes three, one is a standard, one a swift, and the other a free.)
Also, Ignore the 870... that was a typo for sure. =)
A note regarding maps, I would, but the layout of the sphere is nearly impossible as this will mostly be a 3-D battle anyway. If you need an explanation, ask here or shoot me an email at zsramage at yahoo dot com
Vedik casts Time Stop and, accomplishes quite a bit as everyone else is in a limbo of sort. He is able to cast Mirror Image, causing numerous Vediks to appear, and also casts Dimensional Anchor on himself. He thinks to cast Dimensional Anchor on the dread but can't because the Wall of Force is in the way. He then tries to Dispel the Wall of Force but is unsuccessful.
Jass casts Dimension Door on himself and the Dwight, moving them both to the same area as Monthor and Mac. He hopes to dispel the wall but is also unsuccessful as was Vedik.
Dwight teleports to 25' behind the skull and let's fly an arrow at the skull, which strikes it, doing a bit of damage to it. You notice your arrow moves oddly, almost as if, gravity in the vicinity of the dread is in reverse of that elsewhere in the sphere.
Monthor teleports to within 5' of the Dread and immediately falls... up. You fall up about 40 feet and just hover at what appears to be the end of a spell. Reverse Gravity perhaps.
Belkior heals himself and his companions for 32 points before everyone splits up going different ways.
Mac is transported to within 5' of the Dread and, just like Monthor, falls... up. You don't have time to get a hit on the Dread before you are shuffled 40' above the dread. You are about 15' from Monthor.
The Dread laughs as it gets struck by the arrow from Dwight. "You think a mere arrow will stop me... You are nothing but a sneaky, little rat. Perhaps you will enjoy truly becoming one."
Dwight feels himself beginning to change. To keep from turning into a tiny rat for the rest of your very short life, I need a Fortitude Save DC: 33,Highlight to display spoiler: {Polymorph any object.}
The Dread then looks up at the two floating warriors, Monthor and Mac. A bolt of negative caresses the Dread healing 150 points of negative energy and then unleashes a fireball, slamming into the both of them for 73 points of Fire Damage, Reflex: 23 for half (36)
The Sphere of Annihilation begins moving at break-neck pace upwards in the general direction of the dread. It moves about 40' and is still about 160ft. away.
OOC: Never give up! Trust you instincts! - Peppy, from Star Fox.
I'm stupid, forgot range of harm. I was in the shower, shampooing my hair when I said, "Idiot... what were you thinking." I ran down stairs, half wet to edit this post. As an aside, maybe that's why I shouldn't post right when I get home from work after getting up at 230am.

Vedik flies upward, going around the wall of force and trying to get sight on Dwight, while getting within control range of the sphere. He flies 60 feet closer, then casts a quick spell of his own.
A dispelling beam strikes Dwight, hopefully stripping away the polymorph.
He then turns his attention to the sphere, his eyes narrow and he focuses all his intellectual might at it.

The fireball engulfs the Taur, but he is barely singed. [Reflex:36 for 32, less Resist Energy (30) is 6 damage] He makes a quick calculation and yells out "Enlarge Me!".
Actions to come after work.
Jass of Downs AC:31 CMD: 22 HP: 86/178 (-2 CON) Thursday May 26th, 2011 7:39:48 PM
Jass feels Belkior's small healing, and looks around, suddenly finding that Mac, Monthor, and Dwight have all teleported closer to the Dread and bypassing all the walls. "Looks like everyone else needs to get there too, eh?", he calls and looks back to Belkior and Vedik.
A Quickened Dim Door pops the sorcerer next to Belkior and Vedik (assuming Vedik has not flown upwards and through the Prismatic Wall. Touching his two allies, Jass shouts out another Dimension Door to pop 30 feet in front of the skull, thus bypassing all the bothersome walls and bringing the two clerics within healing distance of the Dread.
"OK, start some mass healing or we are all dead. Again.", he smiles with just a little cheek.

Delayed action until the Dread ends his actions for this round. The hasted Monthor switches out his cloak of resistance for his wings of flying. He then flies straight towards the dread.

Polymorph -- hopefully stopped by one of the following 1) stopped by Vedik's dispell?, 2) spell resistance (88% - failed) 3) lavender and green ioun stone should absorb (up to 8th level spell, 50 slots available) 4) fort save: 24 -- failed (let's hope it doesn't come to this roll)
Assuming one of the above protects him, Dwight fires his bow again hoping to keep him distracted as the rest of the ground positions themselves. (If not, Dwight transforms.)

Vedik attempts to dispel the polymorph on Dwight as well as control the sphere. You attempt to control it, but do little better than slow it down.
Jass Dimension Doors next to Belkior and Vedik then Dimension Doors all three of them near Dwight.
Belkior heals everyone except Mac and Monthor, including the Dread, who easily makes his save. Heal: 46
Dwight's Bacon is saved by his Ioun Stone. He then releases a volley at the Dread, dealing a decent bit of damage.
The Dread casts Maze on Monthor, hoping to lock him away in a in an extra-dimensional pocket. SR is overcome, Will Save DC 32
The Dread then drops a Stinking Cloud on Vedik, Dwight, Belkior, and Jass. Fort Save DC 27. Failure results in nausea and you also cannot see.
Finally the Dread heals himself via Harm. .

Not being able to see, the sorcerer Flies up out of the cloud and up to Mac hanging in the air, some 40 feet in the air. A Quickened Fly spell cast on Mac followed by a Dim Door with Mac brings the minotaur fighter within 10 feet of the Dread skull.

The Big Finale 40d6=147 ; d20+27=35 ; d100=39 ; 20d6=75 ; Wednesday June 1st, 2011 5:17:10 PM
Monthor is able to quickly find his way out of the Maze and back into the fray. It's almost as if he was the Minotaur and not Mac.
Jass lets fly spells to shuffle and jockey people into positions of his choosing. Dropping Mac on the dread for some Serious Damage. (233 is what I counted with no crits)
Belkior is to busy gagging to continue fighting this round.
Vedik holds his action to heal the group until the dread goes.
Dwight unleashes a volley of arrows upon the Dread... combined with what Mac did, comes close to finishing the dread, but never one to leave things to chance, has a contingency enact, Healing (harm) him.
The Dread then drops ANOTHER Horrid Wilting, this one Maximized as well, dealing 120 points, (60 With Successful Fort Save, DC 34). It hits Dwight, Vedik, Belkior, and Jass.
He then follows it with a Quickened, Maximized Fire Ball, for 120 points of fire damage, Reflex DC 26 for half. He then finishes with his customary Harm spell on himself.
Assuming he isn't dead, Vedik heals everyone near him for 170 points. (Assuming they are not dead.)
Finally, everyone notices the Sphere of Annihilation is only about 50 feet below the bulk of the group.
OOC: Don't think I am arbitrarily addidng Metamagic's. This guys has some special abilities that let him add metamagics and to also get some applied for free.
Also, I initially rolled 40d6 because I was contemplating dropping another spell on one of you... I changed my mind.

Finally luck is on Vedik's side. He shrugs off the Horrid Wilting, and much of the Fireball's effects. The healing scroll washes over the party, healing those that remain.
He calls out to Belkor "Mate, we need big heals, best you got!"
He then tries to buy a round of healing for the party with a maze spell of his own, but it fails against the Dread Lord's resistances.
OOC: Actually its 170. The scroll is CL 17, and mass heal is capped at 250, not 150 like heal :)
Take 60 damage from Horrid Wilting Take 60 damage from Fireball (reduced to 30 from Resist Energy: Fire) Leaving him at...9 He's then healed 170

OOC: 233, meaning the last blow at AC39 was a miss (but given AC41 was a hit, Mac at least has a good idea how tough it he is to hit).
Mac sees the sphere, and only hopes that it will stop if the Dread is stopped. He takes a flying 5' step for position (flanking with Monthor or Dwight), and hopes to better his last effort against the foe.

The halfling cleric withstands the worst of the Dread's necromantic spell and then avoids most of the magical fire, too. Still, Vedik's healing spell is welcome as it also removes the nausea. Fortitude = 35, Reflex = 33
The halfling cleric decides that an attempt to strip some of the Dread's protective magics may be in order.

The Big Finale 10d6=31 ; Thursday June 2nd, 2011 3:26:34 PM
Between the healing, the arrows, the spells, and the axes, the dread begins to shriek, "NOOOO!!!!! You fools! Do you know what you have done?!?!?! I was to be a god!!![
Both Monthor and Mac's axe whistle through the air in almost slow motion, taking what seems an eternity to strike the dread, but when they do strike, Mac's axe swing from left to right, and Monthor's from right to left, at almost the exact same time, they cause the Dread Lords head to literally explode in a burst of negative energy. A green light pulsates outwards enveloping the enitre sphere. Everyone takes 31 Negative energy damage.
The Sphere of Annihilation pulsates and begins sucking the sphere into it. It a matter of seconds the sphere is no more and the entire realm of the dread begins to be sucked into the sphere.
The next thing you know, you are all back in the floating fortress where you saw Bas' Anut just hours ago. He is no where to be found.
Congratulations!!! You guys did an amazing job... I thought I had you guys on the ropes for a second there. 40,600xp for defeating the Dread.

Keep your guard up and your wits about you!" He looks to Monthor with the faintest edge of a smile before posing a question to all, "Two to rescue - holding the line, and after that... is there anywhere else that we should investigate before we consider the 'remnants'?" It is apparent he is referring to Bas'Anut and his accomplice.

Dwight shudders as the field of negative energy hits him. He swivels on the broom eager to launch another volley only to find himself transported out of the dread-prison realm. He scans about, (perception:36), looking for something that may have changed. (Are the Lich's guards positioned around the room or are they gone as well?)
"And?" Dwight mumbles out not believing that is really the end of the matter.
Dwight flies higher and lets Whisk land on the back of his broom.

Aftermath Saturday June 4th, 2011 10:48:39 PM
The Grey Knights find themselves back within the Parthanon. The great building is completely empty, the skeletal creatures, the altar, the great hanging braziers and Bas Anut are all gone. All that remains is the mold and grime covered marble floor. A stillness permeates the area, nothing stirs, no sound is heard. Looking out onto the bleak and dead landscape and into the gray ashen sky it would seem the once constant foul wind is no more as well. As the party casts about a single shaft of sunlight suddenly pierces the sky and alights the party, and perhaps for the first time since this quest began you feel warm. Just to the south, perhaps 40' away a small black sphere begins to materialize. It starts as a speck no larger than a fly and soon grows into a ball of nothingness 2' in diameter where it simply sits, hovering 2 feet above the ground.
Dwight and Whisk move upwards and beyond the confines of the open aired Parthanon. The desolate island appears deserted. Neither can detect even the slightest hint of movement in any direction.
The feeling of constant movement just out of sight and of pure hatred and malice is gone.

On the arrival of the ebony sphere, Jass floats a little away from it, knowing it is a Sphere of Annihiliation, and tries to think about how to get rid of one.

Jass can think of no way to destroy or affect an arifact such as this
Vedik begins thinking on what to do with the floating island and what the group may need to do
An overpressure wave ripples across th group and MOM is suddenly standing before the group "Knights, with your success in whatever endevour you embarked upon I am capable of monitoring this loaction and transfering my systems. As we had discussed assisting the local population below to become more independant I feel the removal of my influence to be prudent. With your permission i will fully transfer to this location and assist in defence netowrking and reorganization.

"You will be able to assist us in controlling this flying castle MOM? I think your assistance would be appreciated.". He looks towards the other Knights for confirmation.
Having been snapped out of his fixer reverie, the old dwarf turns his attentions to the matters at hand.
"Friends, we have responsibilities to see too. That sphere is one of them. We must also reach out to our Dragon contact, and let them know the mission is done. We have to get this place fully under our control, and fixed up, and then get it moved closer to our home. So much to do.."
Jass of Downs AC:31 CMD: 22 HP: 178/178 (-2 CON) Tuesday June 7th, 2011 9:59:58 AM
"Whoa! That's a sweet pick you have there", Jass tells MOM. "I take it that the arrival of this treadle means the other lichs have left the building." His black eyes take in the sights of the castle and the feeling of 'relief' that is in his pale skin. "I think I could use a little time off."
He lazily waves at Vedik to go ahead an contact thier contacts, Dragon groups not being much interest to Jass.
The sorcerer casts Unseen Servant and Prestidigitation to clean himself up and be fawned over in a manner that he wants to become accostomed to. Cleaning up and boring talks are not his cup of chai.

Monthor agrees. The addition of MOM will be a great asset to the group's new home. Monthor however, knows deep inside that he won't be sticking around. He misses his family in Dirt City and the simpler life. He will want his share of the remaining treasure to buy his Ma's tavern, allowing the matriach to retire with pride and honor due her station. He knows that he will miss his friends. They may not be the same crew that he joined 12 years ago... but these lads all have brave hearts, strong hands and kind souls. A dwarf couldn't ask for better friends.
A Messenger Arrives (ACDM Cayzle) Wednesday June 8th, 2011 8:11:58 AM
MOM makes the remarkable offer to "fully transfer to this location," and Vedik immediately catches on to the implications. Jass is, typically, distracted by creature comforts, and Monthor's dwarven thoughts turn to the hearth, and to kin. Vedik is also about to contact the Dragon Consortium, but as it turns out, that detail has already been accomplished.
For in that moment, there appears before you a pure white humanoid figure, in a white robe, with white wings, and his eyes are also white, so that you see no iris or pupil. In one hand the figure holds a greatsword, and in the other, a long golden horn. This he puts to his lips, and a joyful triumphant and vastly loud fanfare both assaults and delights your ears.
Rejoice and Listen! Oh, ye heroes of the Wold! Great honor comes to you this day! Even as I greet you, a great festival of celebration begins, for dragons and heroes the Wold over, past, present and future! But before you descend to your well-earned reward, prepare you all for the presence of the God of Life and Death!
HE COMES!

Seemingly unimpressed, Monthor roles his eyes.
The "God of Life and Death"???? Justin Beiber is visiting us?
Jass of Downs AC:31 CMD: 22 HP: 178/178 (-2 CON) Wednesday June 8th, 2011 9:10:38 AM
Jass likes his magic to make life comfortable, but a heraldic angel can hold his narcissism at bay.
"The Life and Death Power?" (Jass stubbornly refuses to call them anything but), "I've already met him once, and not really interested in seeing him again until I'm ready... say, in about 60 years, eh?"
Nevertheless, Jass is glad he is cleaned up, and he tries to put on a serious air. I wonder if Gargul will be upset about my affinity with the undead now. Ever since he has allowed my return to the living, I have been ... marked. Jass keeps his darker thoughts to himself.
Vedik | HP 179/199 | AC 33/14/30 | CMD 31 Character SheetSpells and Effects Wednesday June 8th, 2011 9:57:31 AM "Is this it, is my time here done. So much do to, so much to fix."
Vedik draws himself up.
"We are ready to meet your Lord herald of the God of Life and Death."
A God Arrives (ACDM Cayzle) Wednesday June 8th, 2011 3:58:10 PM
Very soon after Vedik declares the party's readiness, the angel bows low, and if you follow his gaze, you see that a man stands among you. He is worn, with full black hair streaked with grey. He is a big man, with a blacksmith's build that his black robe only partly conceals.
"You have done well, Heroes," he says. "Where my hands were bound, you bravely stepped forth, putting an end to a greater threat than maybe you knew. For this, you have earned my thanks, and a great reward."
"Please follow my minion to a gathering of the greatest in the Wold, who have come from all over to honor your achievement."
As soon as he utters these words, a small mis-shapped creature bounds out from behind him. "Sure! Sure! The party! I'll take them, master! It'll be fun!"
Gargul speaks one more time, smiling. "Go, and enjoy your rewards."
And then he and the angel are gone. Only the imp remains. "So are those your party clothes?" he asks impudently.
MOM Wednesday June 8th, 2011 6:20:20 PM
With Gargul gone, MOM addresses the group again. "I will transfer my systems here while you are elsewhere." The constuct glances over at teh Sphere of Annihilation and with a gesture brings it swiftly to its side. "I will destroy it if you wish, or it could be incorporated, for its basic design is not one of destruction but of a bending of space and your linear concept of time."
Dwight hp 218/218, ac 33/25/34)) Wednesday June 8th, 2011 7:30:15 PM
Dwight nods at Gargul hoping his silence is respect enough, knowing that is the best he can do to keep from getting himself in trouble. He also always gets a weird vibe from Whisk when Gargul is mentioned.
Once he disappears, Dwight looks at his ever shabby patch of clothes. It looks worse than usual having waylaid through refuse, disease, blood, undead, etc. Still, a halfling stomach waits for no one, so he is ready when it's time to depart.
"MOM, that'sss a great idea. We could certainly ussse the sssphere if it can be controlled easssily, wassste removal for example comesss to mind as we can't actually bury it. Perhapsss one of it's firssst usssesss could be usssed to get rid of the undead moat?"
Mac | HP:286 | Dam:164 | AC:33/T20/F28 Thursday June 9th, 2011 6:01:45 AM
Mac very happily watches the departure of Gargul. "Wisdom... ...Ye-up, that went well."
He is less sure about MOM, except that something in her/his/its manner reminds him a little of Grand Maw. OOC: Did I miss a description somewhere along the line? But he is happy having Dwight as his barometer on this matter.
To the imp he replies, "No, these are my going-to-a-meeting-of-dissidents-and-getting-hurled-halfway-round-the-Wold-to-face-off-against-the-harbingers-of-and-actual-Wold-changing-evil clothes. Do you have a problem with that?"
The taur pauses for a response, then opens his backpack and carefully extricates and dons his Eagle mask from the previous Mask Day in the Float and adds, "Now I'm in my party clothes!"

Jass can only laugh helplessly at Mac's impudent (and accurate) statement on the affairs of clothes, and he starts all over again as the minotaur dons an Eagle Mask. "Well I've been done seen about everything when I see a minotaur fly!"
A little Prestidigitation and the sorcerer is clean. A quick dip into his Pants O Plenty reveals Jass knows how to make an entrance. His pants themselves are a light beige and cut like pantaloons with balloon bottoms. A thigh-length tunic of brilliant green with embroidered designs of red, blue, and gold are heavy on cuff, hem, and neck. Close inspection reveals Jass' Arcane Mark of a Celtic "J" is interwoven in the embroidery. Red shoes and a red pillbox hat complete the ensemble.
"Now, little imp of the Gray One, I'm ready."

The imp laughs at the assembled Grey Knights, and bows to Jass. "Then awaaaaaay we go!"
In a whirl of ultra-divine magic, Gimp sketches a large square with his hands, which outlines a fireplace with a fire of cold green flames. From within you hear the sound of many voices raised in celebration. "Step right up!" urges Gimp. "Join in the fun!" He steps into the fire and is magically transported to the Giggling Ghost.
If you have not already, please join in the party on that board. And congratulations!
