Heading Out (DM Cayzle & DM Michael) 
Tuesday March 19th, 2019 10:03:30 PM

Edson Kazil asks someone to cast a spell from a scroll he purchased into his ring of spell storing.

Emrys Myrridanmyl continues his research but falls to the ground in what seems to be a seizure. He is taken care by Angus and Daemon. [OOC: In the morning, Emrys, do you need to make any rolls for your chosen bloodwitch rituals for the day, if you choose to perform any? Do you automatically draw your woldsblood with no chance of error?]

Tishe awakes to join her companions and shares with them her new spell Daylight.

Brom the Barbarian heads to the homestead for couple of days. He spends time training with the kids and by himself. He later heads back to the party.

Lanliss has some interesting thoughts and wonderments, but he keeps his own counsel as he joins the party for another go at the mine.

The newly ensmartened Barratore prepares diligently as only a true minotaur can ... by laying in a solid supply of imbibables.

The morning dawns. The party gets ready and heads out. Brom and Barratorre in front, followed by Valerin and Tishe’, then Emrys, and Edson and then Lanliss.

You do not get far out of town, maybe a mile, when you notice something ... With party perception checks in the plus-twenties, these amateurs have no chance to evade detection. You see two people from the town following you as walk. They are not dressed as adventurers.

Brom leads the way as they head back to place they left not so long ago. Brom thinks of the last few days and the time spent at the farmstead specially of the oldest girl (I think she was 18.) Even with the distraction, Brom notes, as do others, the two following them. He holds up to wait for them to catch up.

Tishe’ stops when Brom stops and turns to look where he is looking. She rolls her eyes. “That can only be the Sages”, she exhales in frustration, “WLA would at least be dressed appropriately!”

She turns to Velarin, suggesting brightly: “I can Rainbow Pattern them and have them wander about looking for pretty colors for a while.”

As they walk out of town, Emrys can't help but say, "Walking is so pedestrian!" Looking back, he begins to notice they have attracted a following. "Now what is the meaning of this?"

Barratore strolls along at a casual pace with Brom when a glance over the shoulder to answer Emrys causes him to spy the two following them. Barratore sighs and stops.

He will wait until they catch up and he too believes it will be the Sages.

When they arrive, Barratore points them back the way the came. "Thought we settled this." You're not coming. If and when we decide the area is safe, we'll let you know."

Edson sighs loudly at the announcement of the sages following them. " Let them come.. I am sure they would love to describe what death is like to their guild. " he jokes a little too morbidly.

" honestly... they want to know what is going on, but they're gonna end up dead."

Velarin prepares in the morning and casts his Mage armor and Endure Elements with his Lesser Extend Rod. The wizard nods to Edson, "Of course." and a quick read later, he casts the spell into Edosn's ring.

As the group walks Velarin mentally starts going over the runes, where the obelisk might be and what they might encounter. Brom and Barratore stop and turn and so he does as well. "For the love of Domi." the wizard sighs. Tishe's comment receives a grin, but it is short lived. " As delightful as that sounds...We may need to take an alternate stance.

We don't know if they are hostile or not yet....but whoever they might be they are certainly not good at stalking us professionally.
Right Edson ? Lanliss asks Edson rhetorically.

Two Sages (DM Cayzle & DM Michael) 
Wednesday March 20th, 2019 11:06:27 PM

Brom the Barbarian leads the group. In the meantime he thinks of the time spent with the oldest girl at the farmstead. He notes the two following and stops to wait for everyone to catch up.

Tishe notes that Brom the Barbarian sees something and looks back as well and notes that these two must be sages from the WLA -- as indeed they are! She suggests to Velarin that she can rainbow pattern them in order to distract them from the journey.

Emrys Myrridanmyl muses how ‘walking is so pedestrian.’ He also takes note of the followers they have behind them.

Lanliss seems a bit more ... hesitant? About the followers, but it is soon plain that they are the sages you met before.

Barratore notices the two followers and confronts them with a Minotaur’s stare and let’s them know they aren’t welcome till the danger is clear. The sages protest that they will be okay on the trip ... but Barratore’s stare shuts them up.

Edson makes a couple morbid jokes, and the sages’ faces pale further.

Velarin does not cast any spell on the sages, but the threat of it makes them flinch.

Sure enough, you know the these guys. They are two very stubborn and persistent members of the Sages Guild that you met before. You notice that though they have backpacks, they are academics and are ill equipped for the journey on which you have embarked.

The two look at each other, shrug, and sit. “We’ll just wait here for you guys to come back,” one says.

Tishe’ is relieved they aren’t making a fuss, but looks about on the open road. “Here?” She gives a jaundiced eye, not convinced they are actually thinking of stopping. Maybe give them another type of Grass... “You may as well accompany us to the last farmstead in Cinnamon Valley and wait there. While there, you could learn the local practices for... well... everything. The Valley is such a diverse group, you are bound to gain more knowledge while you wait.”

Barratore smirks as the pair get closer. Tishe was money on, the sages. The pair sit on the ground and Barratore starts to feel that tell tale pressure building behind his eyes. Tishe's suggestion was all well and good, but the fighter can't help himself and takes a slightly different tact.

Barratore snorts loudly and his hand clenches one time before resuming its natural state. Taking one step, one that happens to put him closer to the pair but where Brom or Edson could 'stop him', he growls, "Did you just call me stupid? taking a deep breath, he continues, [b]"Sounded like you just implied we are going to be dumb enough to believe that you are going to camp here in the middle of the road outside of town for the next several weeks with nothing but a day pack and no shelter waiting for us to return and not just wait until we are out of sight and continue following us. That type of bold declaration of your opinion of us insults my honor which damages my calm."

Barratore will agree to Tishe's proposal if others bring it up and decide perhaps they were not intentionally insulting his honor and therefore he had no need to defend it through personal combat...this time

He could scare them but decides to not to.
Lanliss keeps his mouth shut not wanting to tell the guys from the Sages guild that the place they are going is the place they think they going to, It's gloomy and dangerous, assuming the weird effects of hatred or some suspicious and horrific things won't make them go mad first.

Velarin picks up on Barratore's attempt at humor and smiles to himself. The minotaur might be hilarious among other minotaurs, but he is likely to give these poor men heart attacks right here on the spot.
"Gentlemen, fellow sages and those of the noble race who seek knowledge." The elven wizard begins. " I lend my voice to the very reasonable offering of both Edson and Tishe. Everyone knows is it not wise to upset a minotaur and I believe your accompaniment with us to the far village will expand your knowledge of our valley in ways you have not thought of before. Expansion of learning and the Wold is far greater than what we think are the great mysteries about us. Understanding and knowledge of where and why we are and what we do that affects our Wold is too often overlooked. The Wold is a living thing where the very lands are imbued with the energies of the creatures that dwell upon it. Walk with us and stay at the last homestead."

In a low tone, Emrys continues to muse, "I could bury them both deep within the earth, encased in crystal and frozen in time. I can release them when we're done ... if I remember to!" Where those his words, he wonders! Emrys just realized he could do that ... easily. It was very tempting to give it a try. The Sage Guild wasn't so accepting of him when he tried to join the Guild. He sat in that sitting chamber all day ... no one spoke a word to him. 'Yess, it would be nice to afford them the same courtesy,' he thinks.

Brom just rolls his eyes at the methods used to scare the sages. He turns and continues walking.

Enter ... the OBELISK (DM Cayzle & DM Michael) 
Thursday March 21st, 2019 11:43:42 PM

Tishe attempts to encourage the two WLA followers to travel with them to the last farmstead in Cinnamon Valley and wait there, hoping that what they can learn there will keep them occupied.

Barratore takes a more aggressive stance against the two sages and shows them his anger through his words and his stare. He steadies himself from combat thinking on Tishe’s idea to the sages.

Lanliss decides not to threaten the sages and decides to be silent.

Edson attempts to hold back [Barratore[/b], knowing full well he could never really hold back a Minotaur.

Velarin attempts to remind the sages that you always let a minotaur win and encourages the sages to follow Tishe’s plan.

Emrys Myrridanmyl considers the thought of encasing the sages in crystal.

Brom the Barbarian rolls his eyes at the methods used to scare the sages and continues to the path.

In the end, the party’s ire (or eye-rolling indifference) is too much for the sages, and they just run off back the way they came -- after begging you to send word to Witchspawn when you know more and can help them make a report.

You retrace your journey, eventually coming again to the area inside the former border of the Dreadlands, where there are several villages that surround that central obelisk -- an obelisk that you have a firm idea is actually an ancient Tecuri artifact. Is it tied to this place? What does it do, exactly? The Tuecri were a magical and mysterious race, maybe the ones who brought arcane magic to the Wold. Their artifacts are endlessly fascinating -- just ask the sages who were willing to follow you into this realm once governed by undead.

So ... obelisk ... and surrounding villages. Your next step?

Tishe’ is pleased to see that the path north through the swamp hasn’t been reinvested with evil plants or undead like last time. If it comes to a vote, she would rather just ignore the Villages and come directly to the Obelisk. “If it is still affecting them, we really won’t get much from them, although it may be proper to just inform someone that we are back and in the area.”

Once at the obelisk, the Spellweaver wants to make a careful examination. Detect Poison, Detect Magic, and assist with any translations.

“What did the writing in the Cave say again?”

Barratore does not want to engage the villagers at all. "They're worthless, lets go the mines. See if the orcs have killed themselves yet, and do the obelisk thing. V and Emrys I thought wrote it down. If not we go in, write it down and then Emrys can say the magi words and phrases."

Emrys hears Barratore's remark and a derisive eyebrow curls upward. His pointed ears become slightly pointier as his elven heritage becomes blatantly obvious. "Dear Barratore, I needn't commit the Tuecre words to paper ... I remember them perfectly!"

He gives himself a slight touch of Guidance before answering (Witch Ability), and he then says most of the phrase, ending it with "yadda yadda, yadda," not wanting to set something off. Just in case the Tuecre words of magic had some effect on the outside world, away from the shrine.

He takes a looks at the words or whatever it is that written there.
Is it some celestial language or maybe elvish ? he tries to find some sense but alas he can't read this, his mind blank.
Emrys what did it say again ? Anyway I can help ?

Friday March 22nd, 2019 11:50:05 PM

Tishe determines it would be best to avoid the villagers and wonders what was the writing on the cave again?

Barratore communicates his readiness to move on towards the goal and suggests that someone had probably wrote down the writing in the cave.

Lanliss attempts to help with the text but has difficulty remembering the words.

Emrys Myrridanmyl reminds Barratore of his sharp memory and then recites the words when appropriate.

Edson worries not about all that, but does keep a very sharp eye aroundabouts. He sees no sign that the villagers are restless.

A reminder: in what was once the town square, now mostly a worn ruin, there is an obelisk, showing fewer signs of wear and tear than the town aroundabouts, for all that you imagine the obelisk to be much the older. Veins of strange red ore run through the stone that makes up the obelisk.

A further reminder: after defeatng the guardian within, you found that the floor of the inner chamber hides a passageway down. You also learned that to open the way down, you must touch the obelisk and pronounce a very odd mouthful of sounds not designed to be spoken by a human mouth. Nonetheless, Emrys (with some very nice rolling) is able to wrap his lips around the troubling words: “Cahf ah nafl mglw'nafh hh' ahor syha'h ah'legeth, ng llll or'azath syha'hnahh n'ghftephai n'gha ahornah ah'mglw'nafh.”

Did that open the way? You will have to go in and look!

Emrys Myrridanmyl muses over the saying. He then thanks you Tishe and Lanliss for their assistance.

As you approach, you note that the large metal doors to the mine entrance have been closed. You spot a couple humanoids ... villagers, clearly ... peeking out at you from around corners, posing no threat, but watching.

He turns his greater attention back to the door as Lanliss and Edson disarm it so they can go back into the caves and mines. he is reminded of the thought they had last time and agrees, should have simply destroyed the door right off.

"Brom your adamantine blade and knowledge at sundering could be put to use against the door. As it is an object like any other. When Lanliss and Edson are through, perhaps a few test swings."

Tishe decides that a bit of caution is needed and attempts to look around for anything dangerous at hand. The onlookers are cautious and stay well back.

Brom pays no attention to the onlookers and eagerly awaits a challenge ... one would think he will not be disappointed ... eventually.

Lanliss attempts to unlock the door and hopes to peek first through the door.

Edson assists Lanliss with unlocking the door and checking for traps. [OOC: Edson, if you want to Aid Another, you either have to roll or mention that your bonus to the skill check is more than +10 please.]

Together, they successfully detect and disarm the trap, then enter ...

Barratore declares that once these doors are open that the party should take these doors off for good. If so, how? And is that really a good idea to let random villagers walk in here freely?

Velarin suggests Brom's admantine weapon and sunder attacks would take down the doors. Yeah, you conclude, that would work. Do you do it?

You find yourselves without too much trouble back in the ancient Teucri “temple” or “arcaneum” or “reflectory” or whatever you want to call it. You see two things you may not have expected ... first, an actual HOLE in the floor, a pure pit, going straight down. The opening to the shaft is very odd somehow ... it is a perfect circle, about 20 feet across, but something is disturbing about it.

But maybe more disturbing is a presence you recall ... a swirling cloud of reddish-yellow vapor, maybe about 10 feet across. The Time Elemental! “Sooooooo yooouuu reeetuuuurrnnnn.” it says.

Tishe’ agrees to destroy the door; it makes more sense than having people get killed!

The mines are as she remembers; several tunnels to the food fungi, the forges, and the mining tunnels. Past the forge area, they travel to the underground, anti-magic lake and cross in two boats and one big raft (for Barratorre). On the other side... they meet not a Time Elemental, but THE Time Elemental! At least it remembers the Keepers! She considers how it is here: maybe it was a summoned creature?

“Um, yes, we have returned, and we have the knowledge from the obelisk to use this place too.” She lets the Elemental to process her words. “So, if you are tied to this place, we’d like to free you.”

once through the caves and across the lake, Barratore is taken a bit aback by the return of the creature supposedly destroyed. Perhaps it will be more reasonable this time around.

When it comes to the destruction of the door, Emrys begins to offer a Break spell, one of his favorites, but the door is too large. He satisfied to watch the more brutal approach that the others suggest.

When they come to the shrine, he is vexed by the time elemental's rejuvenation .. however not completely surprised. While the others interact with the creature, he casts a pair of preparatory spells.

(Emrys casts a quickened Spectral Hand. 1d4=2 points of damage. Duration: 17 minutes.)

He then scans the area in and around the time elemental. (Perception: 41, natural 20)

Emrys Myrridanmyl gives Lanliss an insightful gaze as he works his mechanical magic. He is excited to see if any Tuecre magic has been activated.

Brom with V's suggestion used his sword to destroy the door. Brom waits for some interaction between the brainy guys and the elemental before doing anything.

Tishe agrees with destroying the doors. The mines are as she remembers; several tunnels to the food fungi, the forges, and the mining tunnels. She says to the Time Elemental, “Um, yes, we have returned, and we have the knowledge from the obelisk to use this place too.” She lets the Elemental to process her words. “So, if you are tied to this place, we’d like to free you.”

It answers her, "IIII aaammm allreaaaddyy freeeeeeee."

Barratore lends Brom his blade to for the destruction of the door. Once through the caves and across the lake, Barratore is taken a bit aback by the return of the creature supposedly destroyed.

Lanliss trusts his friends to handle the elemental, if need be. He looks around. There is definitely something wrong with that hole in the floor. It hurts his eyes to look at it.

Emrys casts two spells. While often one might expect a monster to take this as a hostile act, the Time Elemental does not react. Even with the potent divination, Emrys does not see much at all unusual -- though like Lanliss, something about that pit makes his brain hurt.

Velarin too is ready to fight ... but there is no need.

The Time Elemental speaks again. “Ahhhh. Yoooou haaave reeeeturnnnned. Iiiinteeeresssting.

When Lanliss reports the ‘eye-bending ‘ blackness of the hole, Tishe’ looks at a Emrys and jerks her head in the direction of the hole. Think we could figure out a mystery of our own?

Following Trish's lead, Emrys moves over to the pit and begins with trying one of his lesser divinations to explore the Hole of Horrors. As he chants the words of magic for several minutes, the lids of a third eye opens on his forehead. The third eye floats out from its socket and hovers above the pit before it fades from view like a ghost.

(Emrys casts Arcane Eye. Cast time: 10 minutes. Duration: 17 minutes. Creates a sensor that moves up to 30ft per round.)

"I have many eyes ... there's not much that escapes my gaze, if I choose to look." Aided by his true seeing, Emrys sends the sensor into the hole.

Barratore moves over to the opening as Edson heads over to begin his inspection. Barratore does not want to let the little man get too far ahead and all. Lanliss offers to help Edson too.

Edson finds no trap, but looking into the pit makes his eyes ache. The pit is black incarnate. Are you looking at a matt painted circle, or an actual vacancy? No light, no image penetrates the opening. It is DARK.

Lanliss shouts for the team to be careful. “My eyes hurt just by looking this.
Is there a chance it leads to another place or another dimension?” he asks everybody -- Actually, speaking of dimensions, he thinks something is off with the pit-mouth’s physical dimensions.

Emrys Myrridanmyl casts his magical floating sensor and sends it into the pit. It does not bounce off, so presumably it is not a painted circle. Instead, it vanishes as it descends into the dark -- and Emrys can with his true sight that the pit walls fall straight down more than 150 feet. It descends 30 ft ... how long will you let it descend?

How will our heroes approach this challenge?

Barratore looks at the pit. 150' is a pretty good distance, but not all that to the spell casting power of Emrys, Tishe, and V. Still he has a thought and takes his Everburning torch out and gives it a toss into the hole.
"It will provide a landing light, prove if the darkness is magical and or possibly set off anything at the bottom."

Barratore watches it fall, or not, depending on the type of darkness in the hole, and says, "Don't like the sound of being turned into a member of the undead club. How are we on restorations and incorporeal battle?"

V thanks the Time Elemental for the information and then waits for the results of the torch throw by Barratore.
He will then cast a detect magic and use it's results with his knowledge of the planes and the arcane(32 for both) to attempt to detect more information about the hole and it's properties.

"I picked up some extra lesser restoration potions, and have 9 now. That's not all that much if we meet plenty of undead. I am also not a fan of undeath, either being it or fighting it. I have a sunburst on hand, but if time permits, I would definitely prefer to swap out a lot of spells. I would take more fire, less lightning, and definitely more sunbursts. Pretty sure I won't need to bother with a cone of cold either. I may need more fly spells depending on the depth of the hole, and the number of fly potions in the group."

V waits for the groups thoughts, and if agreed, will take the time to rememorize before going into the hole.

Emrys continues to go deeper and deeper. Words of undeath has peaked his curiosity; not just for his interests in necromancy, but also for the practical reason of gathering rare spell components for potions. Of course, he would never tell his friends this. They'd never again desire to quaff one of his potent potables!

Edson notes that if no one sees anything, he will start to climb down. He reaches into the pit and touches the side. Per the rules, though, a perfectly smooth, flat vertical surface cannot be climbed.

Barratore inquires about restoration and incorporal battle.. He takes out an everburning torch and tosses it down the pit. It vanishes the moment it falls more than a foot in.

Emrys only please: Highlight to display spoiler: {With the True Sight you can see the torch falling in the darkness.}

Velarin thanks the Time Elemental for the information and then waits for the results of the torch throw by Barratore. He then cast a detect magic on the pit. Velarin then says in response to Barratore that he picked up extra lesser restoration potions. He expresses his concerns about undead. Velarin determines that there is a very powerful magical darkness in the pit.

Tishe’ casts detect magic as well and retells a story she heard about a Sphere of Annihilation. Tishe’ expresses caution. She confirms what V says, and agrees that the effect is Darkness, not Annihilation. [OOC: LOL, That would have been amusing!]

Brom Brom stands over the abyss staring into the darkness wondering what lurks in the darkness and wondering if somehow the abyss is staring back at him.

Lanliss expresses his concerns about fighting the undead.

Sending the sensor deeper, Emrys determines that the pit is 500 ft deep.

In her very odd accent, the time elemental explains that she is an eternal guardian here. She was defeated by you all and so offers no further resistance -- that is unless the party simply wants to fight her and the temple guardians again for sport?

Then the Spellweaver gathers the Keepers and casts a Featherfall spell. “Ready to go?” She waits for Velarin’s affirmation, then simply steps off the edge of the pit. Even if the Dispel didn’t work, she hopes her magical Faylight cancels the magical Darkness to make it just dark, not Dark.

"The majority of my spells will have little effect on the undead. Let's not rush ourselves. There also could easily be an antimagic effect in this pit, and when we hop in. Splat. Let's investigate what we can before going down, rememorize for the undead and then go down. I think we should start by me attempting to dispel the magical darkness, and then summoning an air elemental to send down first. After that, and learning whatever else we can, we rememorize spells for the undead and hop in after throwing some long lasting prep spells.

Barratorre snorts as his torch vanishes. The spellcasters confirm a powerful darkness spell. Barratore listens to Tishe nodding, but himself agreeing more with V.
“We should set up here. V is right and unlike Tishe and Emrys his greater repotoire is a planned thing. We would hamstring ourselves by not letting him reset. “

Barratore thinks Emrys can solve the possible anti magic thing by simply sending his arcane eye to the very bottom. If it makes it no anti magic. No need to waste summon spells

“As to getting down, is Feather Fall or Levitate an easier and more plentiful spell to use”

Emrys will continue to send his eye down the pit. If it winks out, that will let them know if this is an antimagic splat trap.

V waits for the results of Emrys' magic eyes reaching the bottom, and unless any sort of antimagic is detected, he will cast a greater Dispel to try and remove the magical darkness before camping and re-memorizing spells. V targets a point as far down the edge of the hole as he can see( at least 30', or he will back everyone away 30' and hit just inside the edge). V hits it with an area Dispel(greater) which any spell effect that touches a 20' radius burst has a chance of being Dispelled. (DC is a 31, Dispelling everything by a 20th caster level or less)

V also casts Edson's scroll into his ring for him

Enter ... the TEMPLE (DM Cayzle & DM Michael) 
Monday April 1st, 2019 9:30:38 PM

Tishe’ tries to dispel or at least suppress the magical darkness with a Dispel Magic Counterspell. It works! Then the Spellweaver gathers the Keepers and casts a Featherfall spell. “Ready to go?” However, after hearing Barratorre and Velarin, she agrees to wait.

Velarin tells the party that to not rush so that they can make sure they have the right spells for what comes next.

Barratorre snorts as his torch vanishes. The spellcasters confirm a powerful darkness spell. He agrees with V and says “we should set up here. V is right and unlike Tishe and Emrys his greater repotoire is a planned thing. We would hamstring ourselves by not letting him reset. As to getting down, is Feather Fall or Levitate an easier and more plentiful spell to use”

Emrys will continue to send his eye down the pit. If it winks out, that will let them know if this is an antimagic splat trap -- but it does not wink out, and after a total of just about two minutes, the Eye reaches the bottom. "Your torch just fell past my eye, I will see if I can keep up with it."

As the Eye descends, Emrys wonders if he should tell the guardian that the sand of his previous remains was used to make an hourglass. An hourglass he uses as an egg timer. Well, maybe not.

Edson agrees with the party and says, "That sounds good. Camp now ... be ready to bang tommorow. Before nap time, can one of you spellcasters cast this scroll into my ring?” Velarin is happy to help out with that. Edson will take his watch when offered.

Brom sits down facing the elemental after setting up camp. While it seemed to be a being of its word, Brom wasn't taking any chances.

Lanliss thinks about the consequences of resting, thinking about what might happen if they go unprepared. I think it's better if we rest for tomorrow, Lanliss says. He then sits near Brom but with the face opposite to him whispering to him, “I understand, better to keep an eye on the surrounding rather than be surprised by who knows. Lanliss decides to take double of the guarding duty as he needs less sleep than the others.

Tishe’ uses dispel magic on the pit and the first 120’ turns from Darkness to regular dark. Emrys’s eye travels down to the bottom of the pit in two minutes. With its True Sight, Emrys reports that there is a big space, say 200 ft in diameter, at the bottom.

Velarin sees that Tishe has dispelled the magical darkness to a depth of 120 ft. So V tries to dispel the darkness under that, and fails. Since V hit a DC31 and T hit a DC39, you deduce that the CL of the Teucri Darkness is greater than 20 and less than 28.

After concluding these investigations, the party attempts to be cautious with the pit and to set up camp to prepare better for what comes. At this point the party prepares to bed down and tackle the pit the next day. Brom and Lanliss are cautious towards the Time Elemental.

Spending time at the pit-edge, you may notice something disturbing about the dimensions of the pit ... if you make a raw Intelligence check of 20 or more, then Highlight to display spoiler: {You note that the pit is PERFECTLY circular, 20 ft across, 60 ft around, exactly. You may even measure it precisely. Those are the dimensions!}

Morning has come. Nothing unusual has happened in the night -- although the dispelled Teucri darkness resets at dawn. Also, the time elemental serenades you through the night with its sonorous sayings. What do you do, come the dawn?

Tishe’ is pretty intelligent for a spontaneous spellcaster, but aside from the disturbing dimensions, she can’t see a further pattern. Once awak and complete with her ablutions and breaking of her fast, Tishe’ goes about casting spells.

Endure Elements, Detect Scry, Extended Daylight are the immediate concerns. Then, when Velarin is ready, the team is enchanted with Extended Featherfall.

Tishe’ tried a different tack with the Tecuri Magical Darkness: she casts Daylight as a Counterspell! If the Tecuri Magic is Deeper Darkness, this should be an automatic Counterspell instead of the more iffy Dispel Magic.

V observes the perfectly symmetrical hole(26 int check), and points it out to the rest of the group. "You know, I have heard of a thing called a sphere of annihilation that disintegrates everything it touches, and can be commanded to move. I being a sphere, would seem to be something that could create such a perfect tube."

V waits for the results of Tishe's daylight spell(and possibly the incorrect number i gave the Dm's for mine)

He will then call forth his Extend Rod, and cast an extended see invisibility, and hang onto the rod. "First sign of trouble, I will throw an extended haste on all of us, so don't charge off until I do. Shall we float to the bottom?"

Brom is up shortly after Barratore. He decides to take the opportunity to chat with the elemental. He's interested in the land it comes from, and he learns (to the extent that standard tenses allow communication with a timeless entity) that the elemental was created for this place, and will always be in this place.

Once awake and complete with her ablutions and breaking of her fast, Tishe’ goes about casting spells. Endure Elements, Detect Scry, Extended Daylight are the immediate concerns. Then, when Velarin is ready, the team is enchanted with Extended Featherfall. Tishe’ casts Daylight as a Counterspell!

Alas, the Daylight fails to penetrate the Darkness. It seems likely that it was cast at a heightened level of power, one that the Daylight spell cannot overcome.

Edson is happy to have his ring enchanted. Thanking Velarin he plops it on his finger. " Whenever we are ready to go, I'll go first. " bumping Brom in the ribs " you know, if any baddies are there, I can use my body to shield you guys who need it. "

Over the night, Velarin puzzles over the incredible power of Tishe’s dispel. As it turns out, Tishe is a spellweaver, a Woldian art [a house rule prestige class] that grants bonuses on Dispel checks. [OOC: I’m assuming these are greater dispels? IIRC, standard dispels are capped at +10]

The entire group jumps down into the pit, and Tishe casts feather fall. You all float down 500 feet. You find yourselves in the vast chamber that Emrys “saw” yesterday with his True Sight Arcane Eye. But for now, you are in the potent, magical Dark.

You reach the bottom. Only V and E can see freely, thanks to their True Sight, a spell that has a target of “creature touched.” Does anyone else wish to be the target of this spell?

V and E do see that the chamber is circular, 200 ft in diameter, with two doors on opposite sides.

Tishe tries to dispel the Darkness, and succeeds. From the way that the dispel works, you deduce that four deeper darknesses, each about 120 ft in diameter, cover this room. One of the four is now dispelled. It reveals one of the two doors.

At this time, two figures appear, a half elf and a half orc. The appear on either side of you, flanking the group, call it 50 ft in front of each door. All can see them. The two casters with True Seeing understand that they are illusions.

It looks like they are about to speak, but I’ll give you good heroes a chance to act at this point if you like, before the images deliver ... whatever it is they are there to deliver!

The party awaits what the two illusions will deliver to them. The party is cautious of what the images may have for them.

As they eagerly await, the half-orc image says to the party, “Greetings. I am Brealla the Bold. You have come unbidden to a fell place, but that may also be your good fortune. You see over there a door.” She gestures to one of the doors. “Through it, you will find the domain of Kelsandria, a place of seeming tranquility. But do not be deceived or let down your guard! There are three items I need from there to be free of this place. In there are three crystalline roses. These roses are constructs, not plants and are items of great power. Bring them to me and you shall be handsomely rewarded. You may also spare the Wold a cruel fate in the process.”

Just as the half-orc finishes, the next starts. The second image is of a of a male half-elf clad in green armor decorated in leaves and vines. He wears a large sword and a bow. He says, “Nay, do not listen to her, for her words are lies. I am Axendur, and my mistress Kelsandria is a goodly woman, seeking only to create places of peace and tranquility. She cares for her creations.” He points at the other image. “This one serves a cruel master named Maegos, in a place of blasted heaths and plains. In fact, it is he that would wipe out the life above given the chance. Heed my words that we may protect the Wold from his plans. Bring me Maegos’ armor, for it is the source of his power. Kelsandria alone can control that armor and save your people from a terrible fate.”

Then another thought come to her. “If we revealed one door and two illusions appeared, what is in the other corners? This is Teucri-made, so why something as straightforward as a retrieval job that would appeal to adventurers? It may be the illusions are programmed to appeal to our natures, though I did not detect any scrying or other divination to collect information.”

Lanliss tries to tell which is speaking true. But these are illusions; there are no motives to sense, and divination to sense veracity has no grasp over the recorded words of an image.

Tishe’ sees the cleverness inherent in this system. Perhaps she also deduces that these are illusions heightened to level 9, so that they will outshine the magical darkness without actually illuminating anything.

Velarin considers casting another Darkvision. Note that the Darkvision from yesterday’s post definitely allows vision in the quarter of the room from which the Darkness has been dispelled; the other three quarters of the huge chamber, still covered in Darkness, is impenetrable to Darkvision.

Edson wants to check for traps, but one door is covered in magical darkness and the other is just dark. The party has ways of making light, so your DM assumes Edson looks at the door not covered in magical darkness --- and he sees no traps.

Has anyone TOUCHED a door (both are "illuminated" by the illusions)?

Has anyone SPOKEN to the illusions?

Has anyone ENTERED an area of magical darkness in this chamber?

Tishe’ looks about. Lanliss has asked the elf illusions a quiestion, so the KeeperPack will soon find out if they are Programmed Illusions or something more... Teucri: as in beyond the ability of today’s arcane magic. She watches the illusion closely, trying to discern the magical nature of the illusion.

To the orc illusion, Tishe’ then poses another question, again looking for clues to the craft is this spell. “Why are these roses so special? Where do the loyal peoples of Magyar reside?”

To Velarin and Emrys, “Can you use your True Seeing to see if there are other doors in the Darkness?”

Barratore looks about, the Darkvision does not penetrate the magical darkness, but if does help and he retrieves his Everburning Torch sliding it back into his belt. "I agree with V, and we should remove the other magical darkness areas to see if there are more then the 2 choices and doors we see right now. When you get a moment Tische.

Barratore wants the room undone before engaging illusions or doors and certainly is not going to wander into an area he cannot see

A Tale of Two Images (DM Cayzle & DM Michael)  
Monday April 8th, 2019 9:19:53 PM
Lanliss ponders on this thought for a moment "Do both choices lead the same way? The Door ?! " He thinks for it for a moment and asks the elvish illusion in confusion. "How do we meet Maegos or steal his armor?" Lanliss still doesn't touch anything for fear that something might happen somewhere in the shadows if he touches something.

When Lanliss speaks to the male half-elf, it speaks: “What fate would Maegos bring to the Wold? He would bring machines to subjugate and destroy your people. You would live to service him - if you were allowed to live at all.”

“Why trust me? I tell you the truth. Is there any other reason?”

After speaking these words, the illusion fades away.

Barratore looks about, the Darkvision does not penetrate the magical darkness, but it does help and he retrieves his Everburning Torch sliding it back into his belt. "I agree with V, and we should remove the other magical darkness areas to see if there are more then the 2 choices and doors we see right now. When you get a moment Tishe. Seems like you have a handle on unworking the spells."

Barratore wants the room undone before engaging illusions or doors and decides not to wander into an area he cannot see. He does not move close to the door or the walls.

Tishe’ looks about and awaits the question that Lanliss has asked the elf illusions so the Keeper Pack will soon find out if they are Programmed Illusions or something more... Teucri: as in beyond the ability of today’s arcane magic. She watches the illusion closely, trying to discern the magical nature of the illusion.

To the orc illusion, Tishe’ then poses another question, again looking for clues to the craft is this spell. “Why are these roses so special? Where do the loyal peoples of Magyar reside?”

The half-orc answers: “What fate you ask? She who lies within that place would remake the Wold above in her own image, bending the Wold to her cruel will as she spreads a pestilence across the Wold.”

“Why should you trust me? You should not, for you do not know me. But my words are true just the same.”

After speaking these words, the illusion fades away.

To Velarin and Emrys, Tishe asks, “Can you use your True Seeing to see if there are other doors in the Darkness?” Tishe’ casts three more Dispel Magic spells with her Spellweaver abilities, focusing on a different corner of the large room.

Tishe is able to dispel the darkness in the circular chamber completely. You are at the center of the room, which is 100 ft in diameter. Darkvision can see 60 ft. The everburning torch illuminates 20 ft clearly, 40 vaguely; 40 ft / 80 ft with darkvision. However, the True Seeing has a range of 120 ft! Who has True Seeing up? If you do *cough*Emrys*cough*Velarin*cough* then you see that the walls are graven.

Velarin will wait to see what the interaction with the illusions results in and whether or not Tishe' is able to Dispel more of the magical darkness spells. She is!

Emrys says to the party, "The half-human woman, a prisoner of this place apparently, offers a reward of either power or riches. While the half-orc ranger only asks for our help to protect his domain, and that of his mistress, from destruction. If I had to choose between the two, the request of Axendur sounds the most noble."

Emrys scrutinizes the two figures: items and clothing worn and searches his mind to see if he recalls any lore about them and the names and places they talked about. Perhaps he sees a hint of ancient fashions and styles, hundreds of years out of date.

SO, you are in a circular chamber, 200 ft around. You are at the center, so, 100 ft from the wall. With your current lighting, no one can see the walls or the two doors, except for the two mages with True Seeing. Actions?

Edson nods to Barratore. " This one" and moves towards the door. He stops for a second, looking back and forth between the doors. " You sure?" . He looks back to the rest of the group looking for more confirmation. If everyone agrees, he checks the door. (Trap Finding 30)

Once a check for other regresses are made and Emrys has the chance to read the glyphs on the walls, Tishe’ agrees the half-Orcs door just sounds more plausible to her.

All this was done to create two choices? Seems a little unnecessary to me since the best choice might be to make no choice, and leave things as they are. If it's not broke, why try and fix it?

Before we even touch either door, we should definitely search for secret doors. On top of that, the walls are graven, and should also be investigated. Perhaps the Tecuri have something to say about all this and left a message.

V will also look at the glyphs on the wall

However, the glyphs are something special. With the Daylight and no more magic darkness and your reported activities, everyone gets a look at them. That happens BEFORE any door-investigation or glyph-reading. Therefore, ALL PCs Please Make A Will Save vs DC30 and report your roll -- and mention contingent modifiers you have that may or may not apply -- as your complete post!

Save Fails: Tishe, Lanliss, Edson, Barratore.
Save Passes: Emrys, Velarin, Brom.

Before the illusions popped out, Emrys astutely comments, "The clothes of the two illusions are of a fashion that was in style only a few hundred years ago. With so little time having passed, you'd think the names mentioned would be fresh on one's memory. Why would the Teucri, an immensely ancient race long removed from the Wold, have any involvement with people so recent? I feel we are being toyed with. As if this is some kind of game in which we all play a role."

Emrys attempts to read the glyphs along with Velarin, who also looks at the runes on the wall. Formidable in lore, the two deduce that these runes are part of some complex spells of some sort, somehow related to space and time and extra-dimensional travel. The actual spell can neither be read nor cast without years of study and effort [OOC: consider this to be the equivalent of 10th level spellcasting.]

Tishe, Please Highlight to display spoiler: {you realize that an evil monster has teleported Barratore away and teleported into the spot he had occupied! It is a hairless ogre with orange skin and horns like an elk’s -- it swings at you and misses! Please post your attack on the monster. }

Edson, Please Highlight to display spoiler: {you speak, but only nonsense comes out of your mouth. Please do post your words! You can make no other actions this round.}

It is a furry medium-sized troll with four arms and fangs like a snake’s. It swings at you and misses! Please post your attack on the monster. }

Emrys sways as he feels a power magical roll over him like a stiff breeze. He goes numb for the briefest of moments, but his will's tenacity fights it off.

Suddenly Barratore takes his weapon and mutilates poor, poor Velarin! "By the gods...!"

Emrys immediately rushes over to Velarin and delivers a Living Touch (witch ability), to the most solid portion of Velarin's carcass that isn't the consistency of hamburger.

(Living Touch on Velarin: same as Breath of Life... empowered by Spiritual Healing. 5d12+17: 4+7+8+7+9+17 = 52 points of health. Returns to life if performed within a round.)

If Lanliss understand that he speaks nonsense.
Lanliss looks around him confused, first at Tisha casting a spell and then shouting piggies for some reason.
Only to look a moment later at Barratore and what he has done and shouts, "barratore krip dola bild niap?
{Barratoe what are you doing?}
He seems confused by the fact that he speaks nonsense.

His face expression shows partial madness as he looks at Velarin's body as Emrys (hopefully) tries to 'repair' what is left from Velarin and shouts to Emrys " Emrys Yii esla bin cola!"
{Emrys help me too, I speak nonsense }

If Lanliss doesn't understand that he speaks nonesense.
Lanliss looks around him confused, first at Tisha casting a spell and then shouting piggies for some reason.
Only to look a moment later at Barratore and what he has done and shouts, "barratore krip dola bild niap?
{Barratoe what are you doing?}

His face expression shows true disbelief, only to become more maddened.
He look at Velarin's body as Emrys (hopefully) tries to 'repair' what is left from Velarin and shouts and screams "Gargula Yii gkaiosdf lkoaaaa !"

Poor Lanliss' tortured expression is heartbreaking, and it helps him gather his mettle to resolve this unfortunate turn of events. He understands what he must do ... he only needs to survive the next few moments.

Brom notices everything but his body refuses to act. Barratore cuts down V. Tishe throws spells and the rogues...he never understood what they do anyway.

Brom moves to intercept Barratore and places himself between V and Barratore. Then with powerful shout intent on calming down the situation he shouts " Everyone back down, NOW!" while channeling his rage into his voice.

With wide eyes and fearing the worst, Emrys gulps as he watches Brom approach ... not knowing what his intent. Thankfully it's his bark and not his bite.

"This madness has got to stop!" he mutters. He begins to speak words of power, the likes he has never done before. His body begins to glow with divine energies. The energy builds and then bursts sending a wave of light in all directions.

(Emrys is casting Mass Heal on Everyone. Range: 65ft. Everyone heals by 250 points. Everyone is also cured of a long list of conditions, including Confusion and Insanity.)

Emrys appears pale, weak and withered after the spell. The outer layer of his skin seems to have turned to ash as it trickles down to the floor. Then he too begins to heal like the others, returning to normal and looking refreshed.

V returns to consciousness, and looks up at Emrys standing over him. "Thanks Emrys", the wizard says as he looks down at what's left of his body, hoping that most of his insides are still on the inside. V quickly stands up and casts fly upon himself. "You and Brom appear to be normal. I am normal. Barratore, Edson, and Lanliss are definitely not normal. What of Tishe'? This is obviously some sort of spell, and I would guess it's basis is the spell on the walls. I can try a break enchantment spell on all of them, but I'm not sure if it can overpower the Tecuri magic, and it takes a minute to cast."

"Brom! they are effected by some sort of spell. I think you, me, and Emrys are unaffected. Help prevent anyone from killing anyone else in their madness. If anyone needs to take a nap for awhile, help them take a nap!

Barratore cocks his head a bit as the events about him unfold. It looked to be a mess

V was back, but wherever he had disappeared to looks to have killed him, unless whatever Emrys was doing worked.
The troll thing was gone, but that could be like the Time Elemental and other extra planar creatures that disappear when destroyed on this plane.
Tishe was now gone though, and the fighter hopes she is not in the same place V just was.
Lanliss and Edson? He was not sure what to make of that. The strange vibes of this place looks to have gotten to them. Edson might be trying to say something with the pointing at his mouth and all, but. The fighter shrugs off that line of thinking.
It was Brom he was more interested in than the rogues. The man was obviously very upset. What gave him pause was that his posture was directed at him.

Barratore had been nearly killed by Brom before. Barratore gently taps forth with his sword and encounters the wall of the sphere and nods. OK he was indeed captured in something and that had to be the source of his inability to hear the group. The dangers he could deal with were done and so now he simply needed to wait for Emrys to finish saving V and take down the barrier. After that, the priority would be to get Tishe back.

Barraoter sighs in relief as Emrys is able to pull V back from the brink. He sheathes his blade and gives a minotaur toothy grin and wave to his friend. He then taps the bubble with a finger and shrugs. V was smart, he should be out in a jiffy

Edson attacks Lanliss, inflicting 41 damage! He is clearly confused.

Tishe, still invisible, hurts herself. So confused!

Brom tries to intimidate his friends, with mixed to no effect. A few may be a little scared, but that won’t cure confusion. [OOC: In a case where a hero point would not help a situation, I allow you to not have used it. Please save your hero point, good Sir Brom!]

Emrys decides that enough is too much. His Mass Heal removes the confusion from everyone in its area of effect. Whew!

Velarin casts fly on himself just in case and stands up. The caster is totally cured after that Mass Heal, by the way.

Barratore sheathes his weapon, waves, and uses sign language to say that sound does not penetrate the Resiliant Sphere.

Lanliss, free of the confusion and cured of the damage he just took, is not confused any more.

“Oh! There you all are!”, exclaims the invisible Tishe’, when Emrys’ healing removes her own damage and clears her mind. It doesn’t take her long to put the clues together; “Confusion spell, and a powerful one.”

She dismisses her Invisibility, then cocks her head. “Barratorre is in a force bubble, he may still be affected. I recommend everyone be ready before I remove the spell.” She waits until the others are ready then dismisses the Resilient Sphere.

Edson comes in on Lanliss, and Barratore instinctively steps forward, the barrier stops him and he cringes as the rogues weapons find their marks. Then Emrys, casts another spell and everyone not only seems cured, but they appear to be shaking something off. At least some of them. Perhaps that is how he came into the sphere to begin with. Odd, Barratore leaves his weapon stowed, and resumes the wait. it looked as if Tishe was approaching to do something...

The sphere vanishes, or at least all sound resumes and the fighter assumes the sphere is gone. He grins and gives his horn a tug and looking to those of the arcane arts, "Any insight on what that was all about? Should we still commence the search for secret passages?"

To answer Barratore, Emrys says, "Our minds were assaulted with magical Insanity ... Confusion. As Tishe had said, the most powerful variety we had ever seen. We will need iron our wills if we are to continue."

Emrys wants to detect if they are still under the effects of the magic and begins to cast Detect Magic, but quickly stops before finishing the incantation.

"I fear to even check your auras at the risk of being overwhelmed by the magic of this place."

The bloody wreck of a mess known as Velarin moves 20' in the air and looks at the others, making sure to keep a good distance from Barratore, and readying a teleport spell in case anyone pulls a bow.

"We should not have come to this place. I am probably the most learned Wizard in many hundreds of miles and this magic is beyond my grasp. It affected most of us, and this is just the entryway. Barratore cut me down without hesitation. Edson attacked Lanliss. It affected Tishe' as well. If not not for Emrys, most of this group would likely be dead now. Thank you again Emrys for bringing me back from the dead. Standing before Gargul once again is not on my bucket list."

"Why are we here? Our own curiosity? There is no threat to the world or the valley that we know of. No one has been here for centuries. The greatest danger posed to the world from this place is us continuing on and unleashing something that we cannot stop. The Sage's will likely seek to come here one way or another, and the word will spread of this places existence, and those less powerful or power hungry will seek it out. We should leave this place and seal it."

Brom moves steps between Barratore and the others. "Back up." He says not taking any chances.

So he did, what he thought anyone would.
Getting away ( take some distance/5ft) from anybody that might go suddenly berserk and be ready for any surprise that might arise, violence wise (total defense action).

Barratore looks a bit uncertain at V. They were here for their own curiosity true, but it felt wrong to him to pack it in so easily. Brom catches him a bit off guard, “do what now?” The fighter takes a 5’ step back and considers what he knows for a moment Emrys through a big spell and both he and V say Brom is ok in the head. So Barratore decides he will trust his life to them. Barratore pulls both swords and gives them a mild toss. He also pulls his Efficient Quiver off and tosses it as well

“Emrys, V, Tishe? What can we do to make sure everyone is all right in the head”

Tishe comes to the logical conclusion: A potent Confusion effect! She releases Barratore from the force bubble, but warns that he may still be affected.

Barratore tries to figure out the gist from within the bubble, and in a moment of lucidity after the bubble comes down, tries to figure out how to know if one is still affected.

Emrys fears to detect magic, perhaps wisely, given the beyond-mortal level of power revealed so far.

Velarin too is wary of the power revealed just here in the beginning of the adventure, and suggests that discretion -- and retreat -- and a solid plug for that pit -- is the best way to go.

Lanliss is cautious too -- and backs off.

Brom stands between Barratore and the group in case there is yet to fear from the powerful combatant. He asks Barratore to stand down and disarm.

Barratore nods and disarms. Still, a minotaur naked to the Wold remains a formidable threat ...

... and in fact, Barratore is still confused at his mental core ... as the DM rolls a 73 for his mental state ... and the minotaur bends over to gore himself! Barratore inflicts 8 damage to himself! OOC: Barratore, feel free to RP as you like, but please take no other actions this round other than the self-inflicted wound.

What to do about Barratore? What to do about this eldritch horror of a pit, perhaps better left undisturbed by the likes of you!?!

Emrys still isnt sure what to think. He knows the darkness that occupies soul. He understands the effects of insanity and the potential for chaos to tip the fragile balance.

Knowing the great power of those present doesn't give him security like it once did ... in fact, quite the opposite.

"Emrys, do you have another heal spell available? It worked on everyone who wasn't surrounded by a force bubble. I think it was the resilient sphere that prevented it from working on Barratore."

Tishe' thumps her head. "Of course! Insanity is an 'Instant' Spell, there is no magic on Sieur Barratorre for me to dispel! Only greater restoration, heal, limited wish, miracle, or wish can restore him! ... Sieur Emrys, you can Heal, please take care of our Minotaur."
The Spellweaver Readies Another Resilient Sphere if Barratorre tried to attack anyone, just in case.

The babbling confirms his suspicions. Emyrs gives a nod to both Velarin and Tishe and casts a Heal spell on Barratore. If he has the movement to get to him, he will deliver the touch himself ... otherwise he will use witchcraft hackery (metamagic).

(Casting Heal on Barratore, enhanced by the Reach Spell metamagic feat, if required. Heals 150 points and cures confusion and insanity conditions.)

"I got him." Brom says. "Just make sure ya handle whatever messin' with his mind."

At last! Barratore's mind, damaged by the merest glimpse of the potent runes on the wall, is restored to health.

You have two doors -- the half-elf's door, and the half-orc's door.

Once its acknowledged that Barratore is okay, Edson moves up to the minotaur... " This close Barry" the elf says, holding his thumb and finger an inch apart. " This close to me having to take you out. "

Edson moves to the doors... " pick one... ".

Barratore exhales, that was not a pleasant experience. Like watching someone else in control and being locked in a trunk. But that was the point of having a clan, picking each other up. "Thanks Emrys."

Barratore is still game to continue and the Half Orc's door was the last thing he remembered the group wanting to investigate further.

Giving a slight smile to Edson and a pat on the shoulder, "I appreciate your restraint my friend, you're truly a role model in stressful situations. Now what can you tell us about these doors?"

Barratore settles in for the few moments that it will take Lanliss and Edson to make their magic happen

Tishe’ sighs, relaxing, then focuses on the half-orc’s door. “The half-Orc provides more justification, while the elf said ‘just do it’. I’m not a Winged Victory to move at another’s imperious gesture, so I think we go to the half-orc’s door.”

She pauses in thought and then declares, “and if we’re wrong, we then go through the elf’s door and make things right!”

"You're very welcome, Barratore. Good to have you back. I was beginning to get somewhat concerned," he says dismissing the severity of the event. "Especially after you cleaved Velarin in two. I thought that was a slight overreaction... at first ... to his mispronunciation of the Tecuri script."

Once it’s acknowledged that Barratore is okay, Edson moves up to the minotaur ... "This close, Barry," the elf says, holding his thumb and finger an inch apart. "This close to me having to take you out." Edson moves to the doors. “Pick one ... "

[OOC: Note that the doors are on opposite sides of the chamber, 200 ft apart.]

Barratore exhales -- that was not a pleasant experience. Like watching someone else in control and being locked in a trunk. But that was the point of having a clan, picking each other up.

""Anyone knows what just happened and why?" "What was the creator's intention by 'granting' us, this craziness?"

Velarin is uncertain ... "Once again I ask, what is the upside of entering either door? If we pick the wrong one, terrible things could happen, and if we pick neither, things will likely remain as they are and have been for centuries. Currently I'm only seeing a downside to doing anything. Let us discuss this before touching either door, and I shall search my memories for any useful information."
V thinks about the names Kelsandria and Maegos given by the images as well as Brealla the Bold and Axendur. (know arcane 44, religion 23, history 29, planes 45)

Velarin seems to recall, after deep thought, rumors of powerful (20th level) mages in the second age known as Kelsandria and Maegos, partners, maybe, who were shy and retiring. Perhaps others have taken their names in this fifth age?

Brom and Emrys are glad to see Barratore back, and have not given much thought to the dilemma of the doors.

[OOC: It’s been 14 posts since you entered, and I’ll assume that we spend two combat rounds per post on average. Call it three minutes since entering. Please mark off durations as appropriate. AS FOR DECISIONS ... We have two for the half-orc, one for retreat, and others with no clear preference. Your kindly DM wants at least 3-4 of you to agree. Here is a reminder.]

As you stand deciding, you might recall the words of the illusions.

Brealla the half orc urges you to enter the door opposite her. She urges you to pass through into a seemingly tranquil realm, defeat the deceiver Kelsandria, and return with three roses. Bring them to the door behind her.

Axendur the half elf urges you to enter the door opposite him, to the blasted realm of Maegos, and retrieve cruel Maegos’s armor. Then return and enter the door behind him.

Barratore thinks for a bit on what V is saying and finds that he cant really argue with it. The wizard was right. The best choice is neither door and apply the considerable resources of the group to bring down the mountain and seal this whole thing away.

"Seal up, disguise and otherwise make the obelisk untouchable and no one else, whether they figure out the runes or not will ever be able to open the portal and come down here. I think we could render the route to this area unobtainable by others. Another possibility is to enter either door, but not be errand boys. Us going in to investigate does not compel us to deliver the armor or roses."

"On which direction we should go first, if indeed we continue for our own curiosity, now that i have thought about it a bit more. The blasted realm of Maegos sounds far more fun."

The party decides to open the door to Maegos’s Realm. It opens easily, abd it is like opening an oven. The heat coming off the thing makes your eyes water. You get the idea of a flat dimly lit land beyond, but with the heat rising and the wavy air, it is hard to see more than that.

The door is open. You have yet to step through.

Please try not to make my task too difficult. We can learn much from this place ... but death teaches only one lesson!"

Barratore has his shield animated before him and weapons away so that he can just as easily use his bow or blade depending on what is presented.

Lanliss is glad for the magical heat relief.

Edson toughs it out ... for now.

As you pass over the threshhold, you have an odd feeling, similar to entering a Rope Trick spell or hopping into a portable hole or entering a mage’s mansion spell. Any magical detection effects you have currently active fail. You sense a “fzzzzt!” and you note that your bags of holding or other extra-dimensional spaces become inert and inaccessible.

As you enter this place, you are struck by the smell of smoke and sulpher. And the heat. Whew. You see a lifeless landscape of broken rock, gravel, and sand. There are mists and fumes rising from rifts in the earth, rising into a sky of roiling low-lying smoke and cloud.

50 feet before you stands the figure of the half-orc woman you saw in the darkened entry room. 20 feet to either side of you are a towering (size huge) man made of a green metal.

She glares at you grimly. “I set you to a task for the lord of this place. You may leave the crystalline roses here if you already have them, and accept your reward. Otherwise, go fetch them. Now.”

Tishe' freely casts Endure Elements for Barratorre and Lanliss, and enters with the others. The distortion feeling confirms they are in another dimension or pocket dimension, and a quick try of her special pockets in her Pants O Plenty confirm they are closed. "Piggies!", she curses.

Yet she has no time to lament over how much of her repertoire is locked from access, for the half-orc illusion is standing there with two green giant guards. "Wanna bet the other door held an identically irate elf?"

"So, are you You, or are you just another illusion? We need a little more than 'do this' for us to do something, Madame. We came for answers." TIshe' lets those who are more convincing to be, well, convincing.

Brom turns his head slightly at the attitude of the half-orc woman. "Go fetch it yurself. I'm no one's errand boy, woman." He says hoisting his sword over his shoulder.

Brom didn't pay much attention to what was going on outside of this place. So he has no idea what he's here for other than he might get to fight stuff. Because of that, he doesn't have much more to add to his retort to the female.

Barratore snorts loudly and multiple responses move through his mind and in the early days, he likely would have at her with many of them. Instead, "You set nothing to us and your wishes mean even less than that. You need to go fetch your lord like a good little lackey so we don't have to go get him ourselves." He pauses a moment and then gives her a backhanded wave, "off with you girl."

Emrys goes ahead and shares Roses Temperature Control with Daemon. The viper feels instant relief. Emrys remarks, "I thought reptiles grew larger and thrived in hotter temperatures."

Like the others, he isn't particularly fond of the woman's tone. He sighs with displeasure that he no longer has access to his backpack. "I've been trapped in a pocket realm before ... this feels like a pocket realm."

Tishe’ responds directly, as the half-orc spoke to you. She asks if she addresses an illusion, and declares she has questions. The half-orc woman, clad in beautiful plate and sword, grins. “I am no illusion, as you now know since I am answering what you ask. As for answers, shall we trade like for like? I am Braella. Who are you? I will answer your questions if you answer mine.”

Knowing his friends, Velarin waits to see how others in the group react.

Brom Is curt and declares that he is no errand boy. The half-orc frowns. “To achieve a noble quest is not the work of an errand boy,” she says plainly.

Barratore is actually rude, and dismisses her with a wave. At this she frowns, and asks him if he has so little honor, to treat so poorly with a knight. “You call me girl?” she is astounded. “You do not know me. Is that how you treat all women, with so little respect? Ptah!” She spits on the ground, and it sizzles.

Emyrs, having determined that the party is in an alternate dimension, likely sustained by Teucri magic, focuses on the arcane rather than the diplomatic.

Lanliss and Edson both follow suit and remain quiet, for now.

Barratore folds his arms, knowing she is simply attempting to bait him. Honor runs deep with the minotaur race and it is common knowledge and he has encountered this play many times.

"And you do not know us...knight. To think we have come to yours or your lords bidding is nothing more than ignorant arrogance. Born from station of happenstance of your birth no doubt."

Barratore spits on the ground before him.

"You challenged, I returned the favor. If your self worth is too fragile, perhaps you should begin conversations with unknown parties in a more stately and knightly manner."

Edson pulls at the collar, the sweat already dripping down his chest. " Barratore.. easy my friend. I don't think she is challenging our honor. She hasn't set her giant into motion, so perhaps she means what she says. "

Stepping away from the pack, Edson moves closer to the half orc. " Where are the roses? Close?"

Tishe' is taken aback for a moment by the reasonable if unbending words of the orc-lady almost "as if she is a Paladin", she says aloud. "I think we should tone the note of belligerance down, Sieur Barratorre. And Sieur Edson, the illusion said the Roses were through the other door. It's the Armor through this door. Yet, it may be better to know the pattern of this tapestry before we start using the shears."

Then the middle-aged short human woman tucks a brown lock behind one ear and addresses the Orc-woman directly. "Madame Braella, I am Tishe' Weaver, and we are the Keepers of the Vale. We found Teucri artifacts that led us here. Your turn." And then Tishe' pauses, not being able to think of a nice way to ask if Braella is 'good' or 'evil'.

She whispers to the other Keepers "can anyone Detect Evil"

Barratore folds his arms, knowing she is simply attempting to bait him. Honor runs deep with the minotaur race and it is common knowledge and he has encountered this play many times. "And you do not know us...knight. To think we have come to yours or your lords bidding is nothing more than ignorant arrogance. Born from station of happenstance of your birth no doubt." Barratore spits on the ground before him. "You challenged, I returned the favor. If your self worth is too fragile, perhaps you should begin conversations with unknown parties in a more stately and knightly manner."

The half-orc knight stands silent and at parade rest, giving every indication that she sees no purpose in continuing to bandy words with the minotaur.

Edson pulls at the collar, the sweat already dripping down his chest. "Barratore.. easy my friend. I don't think she is challenging our honor. She hasn't set her giant into motion, so perhaps she means what she says. " Stepping away from the pack, Edson moves closer to the half orc. "Where are the roses? Close?”

Brealla sighs. “They are in the other dimension, the Gardens of Deceit. Pass back the way you came and find them through the other door.”

Tishe' is taken aback for a moment by the reasonable if unbending words of the orc-lady almost "as if she is a Paladin", she says aloud. "I think we should tone the note of belligerance down, Sieur Barratorre. And Sieur Edson, the illusion said the Roses were through the other door. It's the Armor through this door.

She whispers to the other Keepers "can anyone Detect Evil?"

Braella nods to Tishe and says simply, “You have shown that you are capable heroes. Now leave the realm of the honorable Maegos, defeat the liar across the way, and return with the crystal roses.”

Lanliss whispers "not me" regarding any detection -- and continues to look at the half-orc hoping to not having the same crazy thing happen to them again. He wouldn't be afraid to fight, but he is afraid of the crazy things that happened to most of the Keepers.

"Detection spells have fizzled Lanliss. It will likely not work if cast." Velarin gives her a quick look over for holy symbols or insignia that might give clue to her religious origin. (perception 25, know religion 34) -- but fails to recognize any sigil or sign.

Then Velarin decides it's time to chime in. "As a Knight, why have you not completed this task yourself my lady? Axendur would likely make the same claims as you, wishing us to perform a very different task. Yet, how would simple adventurers as us know the truth of either of your words? If both of you claim that the others request will lead to horrible things, then would it not be logical that we do neither thing?"

"Those of this dimension cannot enter the other, and likewise the reverse." The half-orc frowns as the dilemma of trust is made plain by Velarin. “I am Braella, champion of Maegos, standard-bearer of Heat and Metal. Look in your heart! Will you aid me, or thwart me? Choose swiftly!”

"I believe we should strongly consider Braella's request, and go across the way to see about these roses, back through the main chamber. where it's not a pocket dimension" says V, hoping at least some of the group gets his inference that leaving this location is the best option at the moment

Once outside in the "lobby" between the two dimensions, V will share his thoughts. "Both parties will likely sound convincing in the same sort of way. Rushing a decision on what to do or who to believe may be reckless. As I don't see a rush for time since this has stood here for centuries, perhaps we should address the matter of Kelsandria and Maegos with the sage's guild. They may actually be able to provide us some useful information, and are chomping at the bit to learn what is here."

Choose swiftly? She's been standing here for hundreds of years. Barratore tunes into what V is saying without taking his eyes off of Braella and wants to say something until V gets to the part about not being in a pocket dimension. At that point it makes sense.

"Agreed V." He will take Lanliss and Edson by the shoulder and usher them out in the door Barratore will wait for Emrys and Tishe to exit as well and follow either last, or directly before Borm leaves

Once outside, "so we can seal the place up and I don't think we need to destroy anything to do it. To get hear we had to cross the anti magic lake, decipher the runes, find the obelisk and pronounce them correctly while touching it. So if the obelisk was encased in stone and the landscape altered to appear natural. No one is touching it to get down here. A layer of mud across the surface of the runes which is then turned to stone masks the runes and no one is reading them. Collapse the mountain and mine and no one is crossing an anti magic lake."

"Or we pick one and hope it is the right choice."

"Or we get the Roses and Armor and not deliver either. Simply remove them to our wold and perhaps destroy them. Neither side gets them."

"Those are the options I see. For my part, I'm not a fan of option 2."

Barratore also muses over another option internally. If they cannot leave their locations, what would happen if the doors were destroyed and I engineered to drain the anti-magic waters down here I wonder. Barratore will give the door a closer examination from the outside

He whispers to Edson in the language that usually only rogues speak
"So what do you think will happen?, Does anything here makes sense?"

The Door Into HEAT (DM Cayzle & DM Michael) 
Saturday April 27th, 2019 11:22:37 AM
Velarin cleverly shepherds the group backwards through the original door and back into the room of darkness and runes of madness.

Barratore helps Velarin and pushes Lanliss and Edson by the shoulder and usher them out in the door. Barratore waits for Emrys and Tishe to exit as well and follow either last, or directly before Borm leaves.

Once outside in the "lobby" between the two dimensions, V will share his thoughts. "Both parties will likely sound convincing in the same sort of way. Rushing a decision on what to do or who to believe may be reckless.

They may actually be able to provide us some useful information, and are chomping at the bit to learn what is here."

Barratore seems to agree: "so we can seal the place up and I don't think we need to destroy anything to do it. To get here we had to cross the anti magic lake, decipher the runes, find the obelisk and pronounce them correctly while touching it. So if the obelisk was encased in stone and the landscape altered to appear natural. No one is touching it to get down here. A layer of mud across the surface of the runes which is then turned to stone masks the runes and no one is reading them. Collapse the mountain and mine and no one is crossing an anti magic lake."

Barratore lays out other choices: "Or we pick one and hope it is the right choice. Or we get the Roses and Armor and not deliver either. Simply remove them to our wold and perhaps destroy them. Neither side gets them." "Those are the options I see. For my part, I'm not a fan of option 2."

Barratore gives the door a closer examination from the outside. It appears mundane, and easily opened. It seems it is not the door, but the shimmering heat wave that is the entry to the dimension.

Brom listens, discerns no immediate danger, and waits.

Edson adds another option -- Split up and “Get Both items and give them at the exact time."

Lanliss wonders if anything here makes sense.

Tishe and Emrys are quiet, pondering.

Standing in the dark round room, it seems the party is at a crossroads.

"As much as it pains me to say it, I fear Sieur Barratorre is correct; we need to make it even harder for anyone to discover this place. The pattern is becoming more clear. That these two seem to be factions that are in a contest against each other. They can't enter the other's dimensional realm, so they need a neutral party, powerful enough to get this far, to decide which prize to go after. My biggest worry with this scenario is both could be dangers to the Wold if the contest is lifted and they are free to pursue their own agenda."

"We could verify this by going into the other door, (once I empty my dimensional pockets), and see if we can't get any more information from the elves?"

Barratore agrees with Tishe that before the group moves on to do any of the options, they should step into the other realm and see what they have to initially say. Barratore will have his shield animated and sword sheathed. The extra dimensional issue will only impact his ability to attack at range and draw out a potion or two. Both scenarios do not worry him too much.

As you open the door from the large room, you see a mist falling across the doorway. Stepping through the mist you enter a vast expanse of rolling hills. There is a sweet fragrance in the air. Birds fly high above and the sun shines warmly down. All around you for about a hundred feet are crimson flowers.

As you step through the door, you see that the door seems to stand without walls or support amidst the flowers. After you enter and look behind that standing doorway you entered, you see a lone figure standing in amidst the flowers about 100 feet away from you. It appears to be the same figure as the image of Axendur, clad in green armor decorated in leaves and vines.

Before Tishe’ goes through the door to the forest realm, she takes a little time to remove her wands, scrolls, potions, and Immovable Rod from her dimensional pockets to the various other normal pockets on her Pants O Plenty. “Thank the Powers for pockets!”, her says to herself. Once in the land of leaves and vines, she waves a greeting at Axendur and tries to sense his motives. “Many Shadows! I am Tishe’ and we are the Keepers of the Vale. Your illusion doubles didn’t give us very much information to go on, so we came to find out more.”

Brom heads in the door and leads the way. He keeps his sword on his shoulder as they encounter the Field's inhabitant. He stands between Tishe and the woman.

Lanliss looks at the scenery and at the figure ahead. He immediately looks for anything suspicious that might lead to clues about an ambush. He then comes a little bit forward to take a closer look at the figure ahead.

Velarin says, "Sorry Edson. I am definitely not a fan of splitting up unless absolutely necessary. Especially when dealing with powers such as these." V follows in behind the others, and takes a look around. "Places like this that seem all peaceful and what not, rarely are." V then waits for Axendur's response to Tishe'.

Edson nods to Velarin, but otherwise keeps quiet. He follows the others into the rolling hills area.. looking back at the door and wondering if it is gonna disappear. Taking out his bow he cautiously awaits anything out of the ordinary.

Barratore moves in with the others and takes up a position just to the right and slightly ahead of V and Emrys. Tishe has made introductions and the fighter awaits the response

Emyrs thinks, This new venue is more his style. He makes a deep sigh when he steps into the forest setting. His Forest Walker sensations come alive ... his senses become more keen. He closes his eyes and takes in a deep breath. The wood-like grain of his skin becomes more visually apparent ... especially within the shadows of the trees. He lets the others deal with Axendur as he adjusts to their new surroundings.

The male half-elf clad is in green armor decorated in leaves and vines, as he was as an illusion outside. Axendur wears a large sword and a bow. He nods to the group and bows to Tishe.

“It is as you heard in the antechamber. Cruel Maegos seeks to turn the Wold Above into desert. My mistress opposes him. With his armor, she could thwart his plans. So we ask you to bring that armor here to us -- the lives of many innocents are at stake. Are you with us?”

Tishe’ doesn’t respond immediately, but looks a question at her companions. “Any hunches?”, she asks, “anyone able to cast detect lie or detect evil?” Tishe’ sighs. Really, without those weapons of information, the team is no better off than talking to programmed illusions.

She purses her lips, hoping the others have questions of their own. She nods and speaks. “It is the innocents that often get hurt when opposing powers fight”, she agrees, then makes an assumption to see if she is corrected, “is that why both Margo’s and your mistress left the Wold in the Second Age? To preserve your lands and people while taking their battles to another level?”

"Simple detection spells are likely not reliable in a place like this, or with powers such as these Tishe'"

V poses the same question to The elf that he had previously asked the woman to try and gauge the response.

"Braella makes the same claims as you, wishing us to perform a very different task. Yet, how would simple adventurers as us know the truth of either of your words? If both of you claim that the others request will lead to horrible things, then would it not be logical that we do neither thing?"

" This lady is asking us, playing to or heart strings teying to get us to feel and therfor do her mission. Its a ruse. We used to do it all the time at the .... at the... ehh... back where i am from. Women would butter up the rich fat cats to get them to do what they want. "

Lanliss keeps quite and just tries to see if he can detect something about the half-elf that might suggests lying.

Lanliss looks at the elf mouth as he speaks and looks at the movement his body and his body stance.

"Is he lying?", Lanliss asks himself as he looks at the figure in front of him.

He tries to see if the figure is lying.

Tishe’ is not sure what to say, and hopes her friends have a hunch. Then she thinks of a gambit: “It is the innocents that often get hurt when opposing powers fight,” she says, then makes an assumption to see if she is corrected, “is that why both Maegos and your mistress left the Wold in the Second Age? To preserve your lands and people while taking their battles to another level?”

The half-elf smiles. “Ah, you have heard of Maegos and Kelsandria, lovers of reknown, who escaped the bonds of time through Teucri magic. Alas, eternal youth does not lead to eternal love. Yes, Telsandria’s heart broke when her lover turned to cruelty, and they are enemies now who once were so devoted to each other.”

That gives all reason to pause, and into the break, Velarin whispers arcane guidance to Tishe: "Simple detection spells are likely not reliable in a place like this, or with powers such as these.”

Velarin then poses the same question to the elf that he had previously asked the woman to try and gauge the response. "Braella makes the same claims as you, wishing us to perform a very different task. Yet, how would simple adventurers as us know the truth of either of your words? If both of you claim that the others request will lead to horrible things, then would it not be logical that we do neither thing?"

The male half elf, Axendur, gestures. “Truly, the dimension takes on the aspect of the owner’s soul. Kelsandria’s realm is green and living. The other realm is dead and burning, as is the cruel and malicious heart of Maegos. The choice seems pretty easy to me.”

Nonetheless, Edson seems to have more faith in the brusque, straight-forward female half-orc, rather than the fancy male half-elf here. Perhaps Edson thinks a servant of the Enemy would look fairer and feel fouler?

Lanliss has the intuition that the speaker here is telling the truth ... in a way so as to convince you to help him and his mistress.

Axendur pleads with the heroes. “I beg you, return to the other dimension and bring to us the armor of Maegos!”

Mercurial, a bit of an old popular song pops into Tishe’s head.
This is the story of Kelsand as. Maegoo
Two young lovers with nothing better to do
Then sit around the house all day and hear the news
And here’s what happened when they decided to cut loose...


She sternly disciplines her thoughts to get to the matter at hand, and absently responds. “Armor of Margo’s. Right.”

And goes back to the antechamber to have a private conversation with the other Keepers.”

Barratore frowns and then snorts. "You got to be kidding me." he says softly and then straightens. He was not ready to leave just yet. This story just about solved itself to him

"Maegos and Kas were lovers?" Barratore starts and then shakes his head. "And it would appear that there was a falling out and, surprise to no one who has ever met a woman slighted, let alone the one we encountered, that she now is in a state of eternally ticked off."

Barratore spreads his arms slightly an exagerated look of disbelief on his face. So her realm, the realm of she who is if full on venting a fiery hot hatred towards you is one of fire and ash? I would guess these pocket dimensions of yours are a lot like the Wold. Shaped and influenced by the energies of those being dwelling in them."

Barratore then squares a bit, "So what did you do? Your fault or not, this is your fault. Time to man up."

"He seemed so convincing", "he speaks in a with persuasion in mind", Lanliss says when they enter a safe place from prying eyes and ears.
Lanliss shakes his head to Edson, showing agreement with Edson stance/view/thoughts.
(It might not be known that in a secret language that only rogues understand, some body movements/language or gestures of some sorts can mean something in a totally different meaning than in the normal day to day context)

Lanliss tries to remember a saying about the current situation.
About how sometimes people try to convince you a little bit too much and too good in their way.
Even if their way means death to all.
It was a quote about persuasion or manipulation.

Emrys takes another deep breath in and finally opens his eyes after hearing what has been said ... he hears everything. Yes, his eyes have been closed the whole time .. as if in silent communion with the woods. He turns his gaze to Axendur. A knowing smile forms across his face.

(Sense Motive on Axendur: 23)

He stares at him for a little too long ... to the point of discomfort for Axendur. Emrys then turns and follows Tishe and Velarin out into the antechamber. He stops at the door and hesitates before finally stepping through. "Very curious indeed," and he tells them his impression of Axendur (sense motive). "What do you think?"

Barratore spreads his arms slightly an exagerated look of disbelief on his face. “I would guess these pocket dimensions of yours are a lot like the Wold.

OOC Note because this gets confusing!

The Garden is ruled by half-elf female Kelsandria, whose servant is half-elf male Axendur. You have not met Kelsandria!
The Heated Waste is ruled by half-orc male Maegos, whose servant is half-orc female Breanna. You have not met Maegos.
It is Kelsandria and Maegos who were reportedly lovers back in the day, according to Axendur.

An old popular song pops into Tishe’s head. But she sternly disciplines her thoughts to get to the matter at hand, and absently responds. “Armor of Maegos. Right.” Tishe’goes back to the antechamber to have a private conversation with the other Keepers.

Tishe’ is unhappy. “Three choices; all potentially bad.
One. Help Kesandria by bringing her the Armor of Maegos, probably only by killing him, this probably destroying his pocket and setting an unknown but powerful wizard free to pursue whatever they want to do in our part of the Wold.
Two. Help Margo’s by bringing him the Three Roses of Kesandria, and etcetera. To help make our decision, we have been told they were lovers (or rivals) that used Teucri artifacts to save their love for eternity (or save their skins from the Cataclysm) then turned on each other (found they were trapped) and need a group of heroes to kill the other for revenge (break the spell). And we don’t know which version or which person is telling the truth (or if both are lying!)
Three. Obscure and destroy this Teucri entrance to keep both of them bottled up as they have for two Ages of the Wold.” For this one, do we have the ability to make it harder? Sieur Emrys? Sieur Velarin? Do we have StoneShape, Guards and Wards, and other permanent Magic’s? I have very few that last more than an hour or two. “

Tishe’ sums up the situation as she sees it, but waits for Velarin to make a decision and then decide with the elf. P

Barratore agrees with Tishe on the options, but does not think getting the armor or roses will set loose some powerful person from the ancient past, since to get said items, the group would be killing said wizards.

"A fourth option would be to get both the roses and the armor and return neither to the interested parties. What if if simply ask for them and if the party is not forthcoming, we beat them senseless and remove the items. Thus we leave the powerful wizards alive and so the pocket dimensions remain intact. Unless the items of course are the power source for the dimensions."

Barratore shrugs, he curiosity on the pair and doing anything is rapidly waning. "We have a lovers quarrel and they are acting like children. We have zero ability to determine anything for certain. I'm in favor or telling each of the parties that we will be sealing and burying this particular entrance and effectively destroying the Tuceri components here about and they can sit and stew in their sad little worlds for all time."

"I have stone shape Tishe', and I have heard of a spell called move earth, which I am capable of casting, and could acquire. There is also a spell that makes some spells permanent that I could acquire. I could also summon a snot load of earth elementals to assist in reshaping the terrain as needed. If people come looking for this place, they will likely be powerful, and like we have been able to bypass Tecuri, magic, they may be able to bypass ours."

"I hate to say it, but I think that Barratore may be right. If we take both items, and safeguard them, where is the threat? Unless doing so unleashes something we are unaware of as pocket dimensions collapse....":

I once again, I think that since time is on our side, we use resources that are available to us and not make a hasty Decision. The Sage's guild lives for this kind of stuff, and for things of this magnitude, they might pull out all the stops to find out everything ever known about all four parties as well as the information on the armor and the roses. Let us learn all we can and use the knowledge of those that came before us to determine the best course of action and possible repercussions."

Lanliss closes his eyes and covers his face with his hands, "We need to choose, too many choices."
He thinks to himself.
He stays like this for a few moments as these moments pass, he breathes deeper.
He then opens his eyes and moves his hands from his face.

He exhales very deeply and then breaths normally.

Calmly, he begins speak.
"We are the Keepers of the Vale, we fought countless enemies and managed to outwit some of them"
"I Think we have another option which only the most beautiful, romantic and charismatic witty of us can probably do ", he pauses.

"Make them fall in love again, if they were lovers perhaps there is a slight chance that we can bring them together "

"One of them went to being cruel, but at times even cruel hearts can not resist the power of love", He then finishes speaking and looks at no particular order at the Keepers.

Too Many Choices! (DM Cayzle & DM Michael)

In the vestibule, the party debates.

Velarin explores some magical options and mentions that as a wizard, he can go get whatever spells they need. There is no reason to rush. Maybe the party should leave and find out more.

Lanliss complains that there are too many choices, but then adds a new one: Try to make them fall back in love again!

As you are deliberating, a small incorporeal creature appears, maybe a ghost of some kind? It is of a race you do not recognize -- smaller than a gnome, with pointy ears. Maybe it is a Teucri?

It bows and offers you advice in an archaic dialect: "Choose wisely, you must! There is no try! Only do!"

It fades away, smiling.

Emrys continues to try and tell his friends what motives he sensed (sense motive) from Axendur (from the previous round ... still waiting), but something mysterious and powerful isn't allowing him to speak his words. What is causing this inability to progress his thoughts ...this, this involuntary mutism! This inability to continue this thought is maddening. He begins to consider that he is possibly under the affects of a spell. How can he respond without the ability to communicate his perceptions ... that continue to remain a mystery.

Then Tishe's question causes him to disregard the barriers to the previous thoughts he was stuck upon.
"Yes, I have access to several magics that can manipulate and reshape stone. I can polymorph most objects into anything I wish, but the effects only remain permanent if the essence of the object remains close to what it once was ... like a tiny, granite pebble becoming a large, granite millstone, for example."

He continues, "As I stated before ... If I had to choose between the two, I would much prefer preserving the forest realm. However if either realm is unable to harm the other, then why not keep them both contained ... they made their beds, let them lie in them."

As adventures we always go with destroy first, but in this case I think the only course would be getting them together. That seems to be what they want. The rose and armor are just from the hurt.

V raises an eyebrow in contemplation as Lanliss suggests a very unusual course of action, followed quickly by his jaw falling open as Brom backs it with what appears to be romantic sentiment. The Wizard doesn't know what to say for a moment as Tishe' voices agreement.

"For the love of Alemi! The Keepers of the Vale reduced to matchmakers because a couple of super powerful lovers are having a spat. So be it. Touchy-feely connections at not my strong suit unless fiery explosions are involved, but why not. Sounds like we have a plan. Sort of."

"You all realize we are likely gonna have to kill the golems right? From my recollection, they pretty much ignore spells, which means our warriors get to play with them, while us spellcasters get to deal with Braella and assist elsewhere as we may. I would suggest we throw what prep and boost spells that we can ahead of time. especially ones that last longer."

"This sounds like a task more befitting the Muse (the previous Emrys - the bard). Out of the four of us, he had a far greater understanding of romantic love.

Barratore shrugs. Ok let’s do this then. Lady is the realm of the garden and the man is in the realm of fire. Garden of deceit he called it. So I think we have a starting point. He thinks there was some big lie. Let’s find out what it is. Don’t worry about the golems. Brom and me can speak golem


Mission: Romantical! (DM Cayzle) 
Monday May 6th, 2019 11:45:36 PM

Emrys is inclined to seal the hole.

But Brom has a different idea: "We have to reunite the lovers." Brom's words confirm Lanliss' thoughts. "I think she is the key, the scorned. We need to talk with Maegos to learn the slight that started this."

Tishe’ nods. “I agree. To Maegos’ realm! We need to speak with him directly, and if we have to fight his whole army to do it, than so be it!”

Velarin raises an eyebrow in contemplation as Lanliss suggests a very unusual course of action, followed quickly by his jaw falling open as Brom backs it with what appears to be romantic sentiment. At least the party should prep for a fight.

Edson responds, "I’ve trekked through sewers, slept in filth, begged for meals ... but never have I been so embarrassed as to play matchmaker to the powers from beyond.” He suggests that if matchmaking fails, the party needs to be ready for more direct measures.

Emrys says, "Love not being a language of which I'm fluent, I will simply do my best to keep you all from killing each other." He chuckles.

"Velarin, I don't see any other way that doesn't get us almost killed"
"It should be safe," Lanliss says. He then takes a look at Edson and speaks "We should give it a go, think it as a heist, if all fails ... we will have to use a probably rather violent means ... unless you have another cunning plan ?!"

Barratore shrugs. “Ok, let’s do this then. Lady is the realm of the garden and the man is in the realm of fire. Garden of deceit he called it. So I think we have a starting point. He thinks there was some big lie. Let’s find out what it is. Don’t worry about the golems. Brom and me can speak golem.”

The party has reached a remarkable consensus and decided on a bold course of action! The door to the Realm of Heat is opened, you enter again, and you encounter again Braella, the female half-orc servant of Maegos.

“So, have you brought the crystal flowers?” she asks.

Tishe’ ensures her magic items are in regular pockets and not her dimensional pockets and walks through the door. There is Maegos again, almost like she is locked in time. Tishe’ tried the direst approach.

“No, we have not brought the Crystal flowers. We are here to speak with Maegos. You may lead us, or move aside, thank you.”

Like Tishe, Emrys makes sure all his important items not left in his handy haversack. All his wands and rods on in their trusty pouch. He now ties his tiny, masterwork cauldron to the outside of his backpack. With the rest, he enters the realm of Maegos. After Tishe asks to see the master of the realm, Emrys adds, "Yes, it's very important."

Brom calmly reminds everyone of the power of love, "Not sure what the problem is, some challenges don't always require weapons. Besides there's some satisfaction from helping two lost souls." But in a moment he will recall the value of weapons, too.

Barartorre moves up to stand with Brom right next to the half-orc and her golems.

Tishe’ responds to Maegos, “No, we have not brought the Crystal flowers. We are here to speak with Maegos. You may lead us, or move aside, thank you.”

Velarin puts his trust in Tishe’s ability and remains about 10' behind Brom and Barratore and waits for her response

Lanliss moves next to Tishe, in case she needs protection.

Emrys and Edson stand prepped to support their friends at need.

And need comes.

========== ==========

VERBAL MAP: Braella stands in her golden armor between her two huge green-metal golems. There is five ft of space between each golem and Braella.

Right in front of Braella are Brom and Baratorre.

Ten feet behind Brom and Barratore are Tishe, Velarin, and Lanliss.

Standing behind them are Edson and Emrys.

========== ==========

Braella quickdraws her longsword and makes a full attack. Four slices at Barratore -- only the first two strike true. The first strike hits AC43 for 29 damage plus 15 fire damage plus two negative levels. The second strike hits AC37 for 34 damage plus 11 fire damage plus two more negative levels. The last two swings miss.

Green Guy One swings both its massive fists at Barratore. Both land vs AC52, inflicting 32 plus 47 damage and casting two dispel magics on Barratore: His Darkvision and Endure Elements spells are sucked into the Green Guy, strengthening it.

Green Guy Two swings at Brom, but only one fist connects. Brom takes 38 damage, but loses no magic.

========== ==========

Braella: AC38, no damage.
Green Guy 1: AC32, +10 temp hp.
Green Guy 2: AC32, no damage.

NOTES:
It is important to list any ongoing magical effects.
The golems emit an anti-magic aura. Make a concentration check (DC 25 + the level of the spell being cast) to cast successfully.
Barratore, please take your readied attack and then your normal round of actions.

Tishe’ turns to respond to Lanliss, and then Braella attacks! “Piggies!”, she curses, the obvious answer to the rogue being ‘no’.

The Spellweaver feels the magic suppressing effect of the golems and tries to push through. She casts a Silent Slow Spell, targeting Braella and both golems. She then follows up with a Quickened Grease Spell, trying to target Braella’s Sword!

Emrys doesn't like this response at all. Not at all what he was expecting ... and she was asked to nicely as well. However his attention turns to Barratore. He can tell that he's lost much of his vitality and essence from those attacks. He then works to correct that.

He carefully begins to cast his spell, not knowing the reach of these giant, green constructs. He then reaches out and touches the minotaur.

(Defensive Casting: Concentration: d20+29 = 35, success. Casting Death Ward on Barratore, enhanced by Quicken Spell. Duration: 17 minutes. +4 saves against death effects. Wards against energy drain and suppresses the effects of energy drain.)

Emrys then casts a second spell in an attempt to put some distance between the party and the constructs.

(Defensive Casting: Concentration: d20+29 = 44, success. Casting Reverse Gravity under both Green Golems. No Save, No Spell Resist. Duration: 17 rounds. Area: Seventeen 10-ft Cubes. I only want to capture the golems and no one else. I don't know their space. I just want to use what Cubes are available and lift them as high as I can go with 17 10-ft cubes.)

"And so it begins" V thinks to himself as he uses his quicken rod in hand to cast a haste spell upon the Keepers.

He then casts an empowered chain lightning at Braella which then arcs to her two metal constructs, and V hopes that these golems are effected by electricity in the same way as normal iron golems. (reflex save 29 for half damage to Braella, reflex save 27 for golems if they get one. 90 pts of damage on a fail, 45 on a save)(55+27+8)

"I will try and wall of force one of the golems out of the immediate activity next round so Braella and the other golem can be focused on."

Lanliss moves a little towards the danger (moving 5 feet head).
Lanliss takes his short sword out, ready to fight but waiting to see how the others react.

He will try to stay hidden, moving in place to perhaps, be hidden from enemy attention.
But not hidden attention and vision wise from the Keepers.

As Brom and Barratore move, Lanliss will be as a shadow in their movements.

The woman's attack takes Barratore by surprise, he was too focused on the green golems. He spins left and draws his blade as one of the golems moves to strike. Fire burns across his skin and blood sprays from multiple wounds. Barratore''s blade twists awkwardly and deflects harmlessly off of the golem

Readied attack hit AC 31 miss

Emrys' spell washes over him and while it does not help the severe wounds he just received, it does push down the drained and tired feeling that was pulling at him.

Spells fly about him, possibly taking the golems out of the picture for the moment. Barratore takes a 5' step back and left from Braella. Barratore shifts his attack posture to a more defensive stance. Barratore had friends and could wait her out. Mentally he also activates his clan torc.

Important! List your current hp in your post!

Tishe’ attempts to respond to Lanliss, but is interrupted by Braella attacks. “Piggies!”, she curses. Tishe’ casts a Silent Slow Spell, and then follows up with a Quickened Grease Spell, trying to target Braella’s Sword!

Braella saves vs the Slow with a 28. The two golems are unaffected.
She saves vs the Grease too.

Emrys not liking the response determines to assist Barratore with a death ward spell. And then casts reverse gravity on the green golems.

The Reverse Gravity works like a charm, and the two golems “fall up” 20 ft, out of reach.

Velarin wants to cast two spells, but the Golem Aura requires a concentration check (DC 25 + the level of the spell being cast) to cast successfully. The DM makes those two checks for Velarin: both pass easily. Velarin haste on the party, and then casts chain lightning at Braella, then arcs to her two metal constructs.

Braella rolls a 29, exactly what she needs to save, and takes 45 damage. After arcing, the two constructs seem slowed!

Lanliss attempts to stay hidden in the shadows of Brom and Barratore. OOC: I’ll allow it for this battle, but my interpretation of the stealth rules require either concealment or hard cover. Soft cover from allies is not enough.

Edson shoots at Green Guy 2, hitting twice. It is not immune to fire damage, but it has DR 15/adamantine, so the actual damage from the arrows is 0 and 3, and the 7 hp fire damage applies. 10 damage total.

Barratore attempts to attack Braella, but hits only once, and the 35 damage he inflicts is reduced to 30 with DR. He steps back and falls into defensive position.

Brom fails to act this round.

========== ==========

Braella takes a five ft step forward and attacks Barratore again. The taur’s defensive stance helps a lot, and instead of three hits, she lands only one. Barratore takes an additional 35 damage plus 13 fire damage.

========== ==========

Verbal Map:
Braella stands front and center. Her two golems had been flanking her -- they still are, but they are 20 ft up.
Brom is next to Braella.
Barratore is five ft back, next to Emrys. Lanliss is hiding next to Barratorre and behind Brom.
Ten feet behind Brom and five ft from Emrys and Barratore are Tishe, Velarin, and Lanliss.
Standing behind them: Edson.

========== ==========

Braella: AC38, -75 damage ... LATER EDIT: +29 damage = 104 damage total.
Green Guy 1: AC32, +10 temp hp. Slowed, 20 ft up
Green Guy 2: AC32, -10 damage. Slowed, 20 ft up

(Sorry, I am horrible at math (dyscalculia), I thought Barratore was a lot healthier than what he is.)

As Emrys closed with Barratore, he realizes his friend is far more injured than he had expected. He digs down and wrestles heroically to gather more power for one more spell.

(Hero Point: To get another action. Defensive Casting: 34, success. Casting Heal of Barratore. Heals 150 points. Plus cures a long list of conditions.)

Cayzle Comments: Stephen, I'd rather ignore this after-midnight post. Save your hero point. It DOES emphasize the importance *cough*DAN*cough* of tracking your hit points in your header!! If Barratore slips into the negatives or worse, I'm sure you can drag him back to life. :-)

He looks up at the floating metal giants with great satisfaction. Now Emrys considers what else he can do.

V nods appreciatively at how effective a team he and his friends had become. It seems the tide had, for now, turned in the Keepers favor.

Knowing he can't do much to the iron golems, V continues to target Braella. Having expected undead, his spell list was not quite complementary to a normal battle. If this was actually one. Although true sight would likely show the wizard if something was amiss.

He therefore throws an empowered scorching ray at Braella, followed by a quickened magic missile (concentration checks 36 and 34) (ranged touch attacks of scorching rays 29, 15, 19 for damage of 18, 24, 23) (magic missile damage 23)

Lanliss looks at Tishe and says " keep safe".
He moves out of cover and safety of Brom's and Barratore's backs and moves even farther to the dangerous side of the battle.
His heart pounding, there is no more hiding.
"I am at disadvantage, it's dangerous now ", Lanliss thinks as he takes a closer look at the green guys/golems.
He moves near the golem on the right side and starts to attack in a measured way a defensive one.
His attack fast enough to seem to hit the golem but alas he missed.
Lanliss hopes that the fast and inaccurate attack that he just did won't make him an easy target now.

Emrys touches Barratore with healing and follows it with more and bone knit, skin and hide smooth over and blood replenishes itself. Barratore gives his head a shake and snorts.

"We are not here for you but your lord and we do not even mean him harm. We have come back to aid in ending this torment for him and her."

Barratore parries another thrust and moves to an even more defensive posture.

Seeing that Braella is resistant to magic, Tishe’, “so I’ll try weaving a different pattern”, she mumbles, and casts a Sonic Scorching Ray, then a Quickened Magic Missles, both aimed at the armoured orc. The missiles inflict 19. Her touch AC is 14, so all three hit, for another 40 damage.

Brom reluctantly decides the only way to end this is destroy both. Brom rages and strikes the woman but misses her with his attacks.

Edson fires again at the green golemish creature. Connecting twice for total 27.

Emrys' next move is somewhat predictable. He gives Barratore a healing touch! (Casting Heal on Barratore. 150 points of healing.) He looks up at the floating metal giants with great satisfaction. Emrys takes his Rod of the Quickening and casts a very quick spell. (Casting Quickened Cure Serious Wounds on Barratore, empowered by Spiritual Healing. Cures 26 points)

Velarin continues to target Braella. Velarin throws a scorching ray at Braella, followed by a quickened magic missile. ALAS, she is immune to fire, so that has no effect. The magic missiles land for 23!

Lanliss moves near to the green guy on the right side and starts to attack in a measured way a defensive one. He attempts to attack the green guy but misses. [OOC: You know it is 20 ft in the air, right? What missile weapon are you using? Is it adamantine or have a high enhancement bonus?]

After receiving some healing, Barratore gives his head a shake and snorts. "We are not here for you but your lord and we do not even mean him harm. We have come back to aid in ending this torment for him and her." He uses his full defense to deliver this message.

========== ==========

Braella scowls as Barratore is healed and scowls again as he delivers his message. She takes a five ft step back into the anti-grav, falls up, drops her sword (which also falls up), quickdraws her bow, sets her eye on Emrys the healer, and shoots twice.

Emrys is AC20. She hits ACs 37 and 41 -- the 41 is a confirmed critical. The first arrow inflicts 19+9 fire=28. The second arrow inflicts critical damage of 20+26+24=70+9=79 more damage. Those two arrows together inflict 28+79=107 damage. Emrys has 109, so he is still standing.

Braella fires a third time at Emrys. It hits AC34. It inflicts 25 damage plus 14 fire damage. Your Evil DM estimates that the third arrow brings Emrys to -37 hit points. Is Emrys dead?

Braella fires her fourth arrow at Tishe. It hits AC20, a miss.

She barks a command to the golems. They shift a bit, giving Braella cover. Her AC increases to 42.

========== ==========

Verbal Map:
Braella and her two golems are 20 ft up at the top of the anti-gravity zone. The golems are giving Braella cover.
Brom and Barratore are at the base of the AG zone. Emrys is right behind them (maybe dead). Lanliss is next to Emrys.
Ten feet behind Brom and Barratore, five feet behind are Tishe, Velarin, and Lanliss.
Standing behind them: Edson.

Tishe’s mercurial attention, focused but mutable, is on the battle and she barely hears Lanliss’ protective admonition. And then Braella uses the antigravity to her advantage and kills Emrys!

Dashing forward defensively, she moves to touch the fallen Witch and release the magic from her Ring of Spell Storing. “Breath of Life”, she intones, and heals Emrys for 25 damage (and brings back to life If cast within one round)

She then touches Brom, casting a Quickened Fly Spell on the Barbarian. “She has chosen her fate”, she says sadly.

V sees Emrys go down, and Tishe' move quickly to save him. "That's what I get for having happy thoughts" he reprimands himself.

the wizard casts another quickened magic missile, sending it at Braella(concentration check 35, damage 27)

V then casts a wall of force between Brom and Barratore and the rest of the party. The wall is 30' high and 55' long.

V then calls out the wall to the rest of the Keepers "I put a 30' high wall between Brom n Barratore, and the rest of us. Brom and Barratore can fire away, and the rest of us are protected from her arrow fire until we choose to move around it. Remember you have haste up fellas"

Emrys feels the searing sting of multiple arrows piercing his pale skin. The final arrow is the tipping blow. He slumps to the ground. Daemon instantly slithers over his body in an attempt to shield from more arrows.

Tishe's touch may or may not have ripped his soul (if he had one) back from the nether ... however he remains motionless on the ground.

Lanliss starts to feel it, panic.
They are, yet again in troubles.

Lanliss begins to move fast, hoping to flank the enemies, or at least be behind their back.
He looks up, closing the distance.
"Too far", Lanliss thinks.

Sunday May 12th, 2019 11:38:12 PM

Bookkeeping from last round -- As Braella rose through the AG field, Barratore took an AoO and inflicted 27 damage!

Emrys falls to the ground from the multiple arrows that had pierced his skin. A touching scene occurs where Daemon attempts to shield Emrys from any further attacks.

Seeing the Emyrs has fallen, Tishe’ casts Breath of Life, from her ring, and heals Emrys for 25 damage (and brings back to life If cast within one round). She then touches Brom, casting a Quickened Fly Spell on the Barbarian.

Velarin casts another quickened magic missile, sending it at Braella, inflicting 27 damage. V then casts a wall of force between Brom and Barratore and the rest of the party. The wall is 30' high and 55' long. V explains to the party his plan with the wall and the haste spell.

Edson activates his extended greater invisibility from his ring. [OOC: Sorry, the Wall of force blocks those arrows.] He moves around to the side so that the wall of force is not blocking his missile attacks (He can shoot next round).

Lanliss starts to feel some panic. Lanliss begins to move fast, hoping to get around the Wall of Force to reach the enemies, or distract them. He then he screams, "Helllo!, you have beeeeen flankeeddd"

Brom steps into the reverse gravity zone and falls upward using the fall as a charge. Rising/Falling 20-ft, he strikes hard against the woman.

The two golems take AoOs against Brom as he ascends. The two AoOs hit and miss. Brom takes 39 damage and the Fly spell just cast on him is dispelled.

Brom charges Braella -- but he fails to hit her high AC.

Barratore steps 10 ft forward into the AG Field too (That’s a standard action). He rises to attack her (avoiding AoOs because Brom just took them). This final attack does the trick, and kills her!

The golems become statue-like, and do not move.

Combat is over!

OOC: Please do not forget concentration checks vs DC 25 + the level of the spell being cast. The anti-spell aura from the golems is still active, even if they are inactive now. Please list all active spell effects.

Daemon looks all around with fangs drawn ready to defend Emrys with his life. He then feels something. He puts his head down to his chest and then up against lips. His eyes immediately widen. He immediately begins to jab and bite at Emrys' belt pouch.

He then barks at anyone nearby, "HEY! I could USSE sssome HELP over heres! I DON'T have HANDSSS!!"

Lanliss gets closer to Barratore.
He searches for some interesting things that might prove useful to the Keepers.
He quickly looks at Braella, making a sigh as he inspects any pockets or items of interest.

"What a shame, we didn't want to fight", Lanliss thinks.
"Hi Edson, come here,", Lanliss speaks loudly in halfling.

With Velarin's help, Emrys' belt pouch is opened and Daemon goes to digging around, slinging about multiple vials filled with liquid. A few of them are labeled with 'CMW'. "There theyss are," the viper declares!

Barratore reaches out and grabs Braella with one hand and flails about somewhat at the top of the anti gravity field. Though he has no training, he does what he can to see if she is only mostly dead. If so he attempts to help
“Little help here.” He calls out. “If someone could turn this off, that would be great.”

Barratore prepares to land

Monday May 13th, 2019 11:19:31 PM

The bloodwitch spirit companion, Daemon, begins to jab and bite at Emrys' belt pouch, and then barks at anyone nearby to assist him getting something out of Emyrs’ pouch.

Velarin sees Braella die, and moves to Emrys, to retrieve whatever it is that daemon wants, and if possible, assuming it is healing of some sort, will use it as soon as possible on him. It turns out to be Cure Moderate Wounds. [OOC: Go ahead, Emrys, and roll your healing.]

Barratore reaches out and grabs Braella, only to find that Braella is in fact dead. With one hand he thrusts the corpse out of the AG Field to send it down to the ground.

Lanliss gets close to Braella -- who is now dead, of course -- and searches her after making a sarcastic remark towards her. He motions for Edson to join him.

Oddly, Braella’s body crumbles into dust.

On Braella’s body you find: adamantine full plate (that she had been wearing), a buckler, composite longbow with 40 arrows, a longsword, an amulet, a belt, a headband, a ring, diamond dust (worth 50 gp), and 168 gp.

You have some rounds left of antigravity, and the golems are still and guideless. Will they remain passive when they return to the ground? If you cancel the spell, Barratore and the golems will all come down.

Brom, Tishe’, and Edson are left catching their breaths after the fight.

Tishe’ is worried that Emrys isn’t moving, but Daemon’s actions convince her the Witch is only knocked out and roughened Up. As Velarin retrieves the ‘whatever’, Tishe’ pulls a Wandof Cure Light Wounds and begins applying it to Emrys. Two casts are enough to wake their good friend. “Many Shadows”, she says while smiling in relief at the half-elf. “I thought your threads were cut for a moment there!”

“Sieur Brom, I gave you a Flying Spell. Why don’t you fly up there and push one of the golems out of the field? Your strength should be enough to drag a near ton, and that thing is floating in air so...”. She gives a pushing motion. “Sieurs Barratorre, Edson, and Lanliss could be ready to hit it from all sides when it falls, and that would allow us to manage them one at a time.”

She looks to Velarin for confirmation of her plan.

(CMW potion 2d8+5: 8+2+5 = 15 healing + Tishe's 14 healing from her wand.)

Emrys' eyes quickly open as he grunts and winces in pain. Daemon quickly slithers off of him ... his weight obviously causing him more discomfort. His agony quickly gives way to anger as he recalls what had happened to him. He scrambles to his feet, not knowing the woman had been slain ... readying himself to continue the fight. He casts two critical cure spells on himself in the process.

(Casting Cure Critical Wounds x2 on Emrys, empowered by Spiritual Healing. Concentration: 41 and 35, success. Heals 8d12+34: 4+4+5+3+7+5+3+5+34 = 70 healing ... crappy rolls continue!)

Seeing the woman's body on the ground, Emrys coldly draws his dagger ... he's determined to claim his pound of flesh ... but he walks directly into Velarin's force wall. He growls loudly in frustration!

"My mansion will do us no good here. We will need to rest out in the open if or when we do. another fight like that, and we will definitely need to rest."

"Once we see what happens with the golems, Let us heal up as best we can for now, and begin a search of the area after. I think the golems will remain inert unless commanded by an authorized user."

Brom catches his breath. He waits for a decision on what to do next. There are two golems and Barratore at the top of the AG Field.

Tishe’ pulls a Wand of Cure Light Wounds and begins applying two casts to Emrys. “Many Shadows”, she says while smiling in relief at the half-elf. “I thought your threads were cut for a moment there!”

She encourages Brom with a flying spell to push the golems out of the field so that the others can attack it. Will Brom push out a golem first, or a taur?

Emrys' immediately jumps up after being healed and readies himself to continue the fight. He casts two critical cure spells on himself in the process with 70 hp. And reminds the rest of the party that the Wall of Force is still there.

Velarin dismisses the Wall. Recall that no spells that futz with dimensions work in this place -- no Rope Trick, no Bag of Holding, no Mage’s Mansion.

Lanliss positions himself to flank (with whom? With Barratore? He’s still in the AG Field) IF Brom does push a golem out of the AG Field.

Edson has bow ready to use.

The party is poised for action ...

Note: To move a golem will take two grapple checks or a single bull rush or equivalent. And note that the golems have a CMD of 52.

Brom accepts the spell and flies up. First he helps Barratore out of the area. Then he pushes a golem, he pushes, and he pushes, but he cannot move the golems (the best Brom can get to is 50. He's not moving them.)

Not sure what to do, Brom returns to the ground. "Things are too rooted fer me ta move."

Tishe sighs, yes a pattern is forming The this will be the most challenging adventure yet. Two encounters and twice the Keepers are nearly wiped out before they have even rightly begun. Why should moving golems be any different? Tishe’ steps back to give the warriors melee room, and urges Emrys to do the same before the anti-gravity is dismissed.

She Readies... what do you ready against anti-magic golems?, she wonders... Dispel Magic, and waits.

Emrys rage is tempered for the moment as he turns his gaze to his floating teammates. As he backs away, he says, "I fear dropping the Reverse Gravity spell would cause you great harm if one or both of those iron giants crashed down on top of you."

Emrys considers possible alternate plans after he reviews what is being suggested so far.

Brom accepts the fly spell and flies up. First he helps Barratore out of the area. Then he attempts to move a golem but fails to do so. Brom returns to the ground.

Tishe considers the challenges the party has faced and steps back to give the warriors melee room, and urges Emrys to do the same before the anti-gravity is dismissed. She Readies Dispel Magic, and waits.

Velarin says, "I can put a Bulls Strength on you Brom, if you think it may do the trick to push one of them out? " He waits with the others for the end of the anti gravity spell.

Emrys’ cautions everyone about golems falling from the sky, and then adds, "Tishe ... Velarin ... do either of you have a simple Feather Fall spell prepared?"

Tishe casts Feather Fall on Barratore.

Lanliss encourages his friends and gets ready for some shooting.

Barratore floats down, asks for restoration of his ievels, and suggests leaving.

V is about to answer that he doesn't have a feather fall ready to go when Tishe' casts one.

When Barratore lands, V hands him a potion of lesser restoration. "Here. drink this for the negative levels. It might not get them all, but I have 8 more if needed."

"Yes Tishe'. I am also concerned that if we leave and return, everything here may reset. Let us all back most of the way toward the exit door, and when the spell ends, and the Golems fall, we can exit if they come to life, or continue on if they don't"

"Fair enough of a concern, but as we let them strike first and won, I think taking that chance is fine. We go out rest up, prep and come back in. But we cast prep spells outside, like Death Ward and Resist Fire. If she is back, we immediately attack, Reverse gravity the golems and The rest of us get in close and wipe her out."

Barratore helps pick up her stuff and leaves. Lesser Restoration does not help with negative levels, so Barratore declines the potion. "Need a Restoration spell, not the lesser version."

Hopefully Emrys can produce that small miracle on the outside.

Emrys answers Barratore, "I know only the Lesser and Greater versions of the Restoration spell, but I will invoke the power of the Great Culverwood (Divine Appeal ability) and be granted access to the magic we need. Otherwise, I'd need to craft an actual Miracle.

When the time is appropriate and Barratore is ready and prepared to receive the blessing of Culverwood, Emrys will make his Divine Appeal and cure the Minotaur of his negative levels.

"The Great Culverwood requests that you plant a tree in a place that's special to you." Emrys hands him a small pine cone.

(Emrys casts Restoration on Barratore, using Divine Appeal: 4th level Cleric Spell.)

He agrees that the woman's belongings be liberated before they take their leave. Emrys had considered raising her in undeath, so that she would be cursed to roam the lands forever ... never granting her her eternal rest. That would be an appropriate curse for what she had done to him. If he were alone, he would have indeed done much worse to her. There are worse things than undeath!

Brom thinks Barratore's idea to depart is probably the best idea at the moment.

Edson keeps the bow ready just in case the golem becomes active.

Tishe’ recommends, “Go back out, recover, and try again? We will have to be prepared if everything doesn’t reset when we leave. Braella May be there again when we return.” Tishe’ gathers an adamantine full plate, a buckler, composite longbow with 40 arrows, a longsword, an amulet, a belt, a headband, a ring, diamond dust (worth 50 gp), and 168 gp.

Velarin agrees with Tishe’ concern of Braella coming back, but suggests backing up to the exit door to let the golems fall and see what happens next.

The party moves to the exit and waits a few more second for the AntiGravity to end. It does, and the golems crash to the ground. They pick themselves up and stand at attention.

The party then leaves -- back to the antechamber. Emrys appeals to his patron to restore Barratore to full health.

There is talk of resting. Here? Or back outside? For the night?

Tishe’ feels relieved that the gate worked. She casts Identify and looks at the items and finds: +5 adamantine full plate, +4 buckler, +1 composite longbow with 40 arrows, +3 LifeDrinker (This +1 long sword is favored by undead and constructs, who do not suffer its drawback. A life-drinker bestows two negative levels on its target whenever it deals damage, just as if its target had been struck by an undead creature. One day after being struck, subjects must make a DC 16 Fortitude save for each negative level or the negative levels become permanent. Each time a life-drinker deals damage to a foe, it also bestows one negative level on the wielder. Any negative levels gained by the wielder in this fashion lasts for 1 hour.), amulet of natural armor +1, belt of physical might +2 (Str, Dex), headband of mental prowess +2 (Int, Cha), ring of protection +2. She then casts fly on everyone.

Lanliss rests with the others and decides to trust the party with what to do next.

Velarin suggests resting outside of the antechamber to be safe.

Edson agrees with Velarin about heading outside.

Barratore accepts the fly spell from Tishe’ to head out of the shaft.

The party decides to rest outside the antechamber and casts fly for everyone to get out of the room. The party flies up 600’ through the shaft and exits to the temple area. There they see a time elemental looking at them. After getting adjusted, the party decides to rest here for the night.

Emrys looks forward to taking advantage of the mansion's amenities ... good meal, wine, bath and possibly a masseuse. If the mansion doesn't have a resident masseuse, he will summon one of his invisible servants for the task. He will look over the items taken from Maegos' 'wench'. "How odd," he thinks ... at how his own thoughts were censored. The name he wanted called to call her wasn't 'wench'! Emrys will have to consider this enigma at another time.

Before going to bed, Emrys decides to prepare a Contingency spell. He doesn't want the same thing to happen again. That was a close call.

(Emrys casts Contingency on himself. The spell that will activate upon his death is Breath of Life (Life ability), enhanced by Spiritual Healing (5d12+17).)

“Do you know of what happened between Kelsandria and Maegos? I had thought that they were mages in the second age partners, maybe, who were shy and retiring.”

Tishe’ snorts. “Everyone knows time is like weaving a tapestry. The past is done and the story can be read for those with the skill. We weave the present, the threads of all the Wold, and what happens next is the more malleable the further away from the tapestry are the threads to wool to sheep.” It does make Tishe’ wonder, however, if ‘everyone’ may not have different concepts of time like this Time Elemental.

The Spellweaver nods at the wisdom of the Elemental. “True. I am no longer a child or a young woman. I have been the leader of a group without second-guessing every decision like the first time I had to lead the Bloodpack. I have changed, no reason they couldn’t.”

Refreshed, reenergized, and magic items in non-dimensional pockets (how inconvenient, she thinks), Tishe’ waits for the signal to cast Feather Fall on all the Keepers before stepping off the side of the pit into the darkness.

Did something corrupt them just like what happened when we (keepers) first found ourselves in Cinnamon Valley when we first arrived after a short stay in Floating city ?

Or....Is it just a lovers quarrel that can't be repaired, doomed to fight forever ?
Sometimes power corrupts.....as well

Time after Time (DM Cayzle & DM Michael) 
Tuesday May 21st, 2019 11:45:43 PM

Tishe’ speaks with the time elemental and ponders the nature of time. The next day, refreshed, reenergized, and magic items in non-dimensional pockets, Tishe’ waits for the signal to cast Feather Fall on all the Keepers before stepping off the side of the pit into the darkness.

Velarin thanks the time elemental, and moves into the mansion with the others. After food, drink, and a good nights sleep he re-memorizes his spells, casts endure elements, and prepares himself to return to the pit.

Edson expresses frustration with the time elemental’s response. Once rested, Edson asks if they are going back.

Lanliss has deeper questions: what is the relationship between these two beings? Is this a permanent rift, or a wound that can be healed?

Brom, Barratore, and Emrys are quiet this morning. Do they wish to return to the bottom of darkness? Look for answers to Lanliss’s questions? Or is it time to call it quits, cast Wall of Stone to seal this pit, and skeedaddle home?

The elemental seeks to reassure you. “Fffeeeaarrrr nnnooott! Yyoouu ssstiiilll hhaavve tiiimmmme!”

"I believe the plan was to finish one side before going to the other Edson. I am curious to see if Braella has returned, or if it's just the golems, and what the golems will do if Braella is not there."

"Does anyone have a darkness spell? It would be wise to cover part of the spell on the walls to try and prevent the insanity curse. If not, I could try and disintegrate a section of the wall."

V waits for an answer on the darkness spell, and then for the feather fall, and steps off with the other keepers.

Emrys reactivates Rose's Temperature Control on both Daemon and himself.

To Tishe's offer of Feather Fall, he replies, "Just for Daemon please, I have a ring for that." Emrys shows a golden band on his finger in the shape of a coiled feather.

Emrys answers Velarin about Darkness spells. "I don't have direct access to Darkness or Deeper Darkness spells but I could ask the Great Culverwood for such things ... but I don't wish to bother my patron with a frivolous request (The Divine Appeal ability can only be used once per day). I think we'll all be fine as long as we just don't attempt to read the runes. We've wander through the room several times without incident."

Thursday May 23rd, 2019 12:00:43 AM
Tishe’ waits for the signal to cast Feather Fall on all the Keepers before stepping off the side of the pit into the darkness.

Velarin suggests the party uses a darkness spell on the walls down in the pit and responds to Edson about finishing one side before going to the other. He then waits for an answer on the darkness spell, and then for the feather fall, and steps off with the other keepers.

Emrys reactivates Rose's Temperature Control on both Daemon and himself. To Tishe's offer of Feather Fall, he replies, "Just for Daemon please, I have a ring for that." Emrys answers Velarin and suggests that so long as they don’t read the runes they should be fine.

Brom is ready, and declares that he wants to reunite the lovers.

Edson, Lanliss, and Barratore are quiet this morning.

The party makes the leap. The darknesses have all grown back. There is no danger of seeing the runes -- unless you have True Seeing to pierce the dark? You land in the round antechamber. The programmed illusions of Braella and Axendur appear as before. The doors are outlined by glowing illusions. What’s next?

Tishe’ smiles and nods. “As I suspected, the Darkness reset, as did the illusions. Let’s step over to the Braella illusion for a little light and prepare our tactics when going through Maegos’ Door. We shouldn’t cast many spells since most will be dispelled as we walk through to the... did you call it a Pocket Dimension, Sieur Emrys?”

With her magic in non-magic pockets, Tishe’ awaits tactics instructions from those who know better than she, and the Spellweaver is ready to step through.

"Agreed tishe'. Not much point in casting prep spells, and we will not even be sure as to whether or not Braella has returned. Out of curiosity... before we go in, would you be so kind as to check and see if her gear is still in your bag? If not, we likely have our answer."

"If it's just the two golems we face, isolating one while letting the fighters tag team the other would seem to be the most effective. I will start with a haste spell, and lightning to slow a golem.Unless I should throw an anti-gravity on one of the golems first?"

"Yes, pocket dimension indeed," answering Tishe.

After hearing Braella's name, Emrys mutters, "She better hope she's not alive!"

"Velarin, if we have too act immediately, you can hit them with the lightning ... I can reverse the gravity. A nice one-two punch! If Braella is back ... she'll regret it! I'll make sure her final moments are excruciating!"

Thursday May 23rd, 2019 11:22:17 PM
Tishe’ suggests for the party to walk to the Braella illusion for light and prepare there before going through the Maegos’ door.

However, the illusion only creates the ILLUSION of light. It does not, of course, illuminate anything. Because it is of the illusion school, not the evocation school, and therefore does not actually create light.

Velarin agrees with Tishe’ and asks her to check if her gear is still in her bag. Velarin goes over his tactics he plans against the golems with the group.

Barratore lets the party know that he will have some difficulty accessing his bow and arrows. He then asks for an Endure Elements spell.

Edson agrees with Velarin’s plan, and takes mental note of what he will do once in battle with the golems.

Tishe’ nods and opens her Portable Hole to see if Braella’s items are still there...little did they know...

Tishe and Velarin -- and everyone else -- check over their gear and make sure nothing is in an extra-dimensional carrying space. When Tishe is feeling around the looted gear from Braella, she makes a disturbing discovery. In the darkness, you cannot see to be sure, but it seems like ... BONES ... are regenerating slowly within the armor!

Presciently, Emrys expresses his discontent with the idea of Braella coming back to life. Are those HER bones slowly regrowing in her armor?

Of course, you make these discoveries while you are essentially blind ... in the dark ... and even if you could see, you are still surrounded by runes of madness!

Friday May 24th, 2019 5:28:32 AM
Tishe’ continues to be surprised at the Teucri magic; it doesn’t seem to match with any of the known rules for magic that she knows! First, her Daylight Spell doesn’t work in the Teucri darkness at all, then the Teucri illusions can illuminate the images and the doors, but doesn’t allow any other sight. “No wonder the Teucri went crazy.”, she mutters to herself.

“And what would have happened had anyone attempted to wear Braella’s armor?”, she asks rhetorically. “I identified no curse or other magic other than what I reported, but it appears if Sieur Brom had donned the suit he could have been possessed, deposed, or had excruciating pain as Braella reformed. Magic doesn’t work the same here, and we must be very, very careful!”

To her carefulness, Tishe’ decides to be extra careful and separate Braella’s armor. The body armor goes through the Door to the green land, leg armor into her two dimensional pockets along with the sword and bow, arms lay about the Darkness, and the helm and neck protection stays in the Portable Hole with the other equipment. “Even if she forms from one piece, she will be less armed and armored.” At least she hopes.

Ready at last, Tishe’ waits for Velarin to give the signal before walking through Maegos’ Door.

Lanliss agrees with the plan to separate the armor and volunteers to help.

Edson feels disgusted at the idea of Braella reforming.

Baratore, Emrys are silent on the matter and so they follow the party.

The party is able to determine that if the rate of regeneration stays the same, Braella will be whole again within days. The party opens the Maegos’ door and enters through the mist. Before them they see male half-elf clad in green armor decorated in leaves and vines, who they know to be Axendur. Both Velarin and Lanliss determine to toss the armor before Axendur. Axendur examines the armor and tosses it back. “Excellent effort, my friends, but this is not Maegos’s armor. Please do continue your efforts, and your reward from my lady will be great.”

What do you do?

"On second thought, perhaps we should keep her armor with us. If Braella reforms out here, she may be free of the pocket dimension if she was confined there intentionally. It may actually set her free upon the world or cause other such havocs if we set her loose unintentionally. If it takes a couple days for her to reform, I could always disintegrate her before we next rest."

"We should probably still continue with finding Maegos armor, and hopefully speaking with Him. First we should see if we have a couple golems to deal with."

"Perhaps I could take her armor to the Shadow Realm and leave it there," Emrys offers. "Possibly in a stream of Woldsblood," he says sarcastically. "Of course, we needn't go to such lengths.

Velarin suggest keeping the armor and letting her reform in the antechamber and then that they should continue to find Maegos armor.

Lanliss recommends heading back to the room Braella was in.

Emrys throws out the idea of destroying the armor.

Barratore, Tishe’, Brom, Edson remain silent on the matter.

The members of the party discuss frankly what they should do, and clearly this is not a conversation for Aexandur’s ears, so the DMs assume that you all have moved back to the antechamber. There you pause, in the dark, to discuss options.

Barratore scratches his head over the past few minutes. He was under the impression the entire time that the plan was to go back to the blasted realm where they had just incapacitated Brealla and possibly destroy he golems and then move on to find Brealla's boss.

"Fortunately Aexundurs reaction was not the same as Brealla's and we did not find ourselves in another immediate pitched battle. So back to the original plan right?"

Barratore heads in, "V, can't you just pile on some fire or acid damage and take care of her. Trolls regenerat, we don't get all panicky with them,."

Velarin follows Brom and Barratore.

Barratore is pleased to be headed back to Maegos’s demiplane, and he is ready to end Braella’s regeneration with flame or acid, as need be.

Edson suspects that the regeneration will not be as easy to stop, and therefore that imposes a deadline on the party. Better to get a move on.

The heroes enter the realm of heat -- the environment is unchanged, and the scene is similar, except that Braella is missing. The two golems are standing in their usual spots. You are just inside the door, about 50 ft away from the golems. You can attack ... approach ... circle around ... something else?

Brom has his sword drawn ... is he looking for a fight?

"Yep Barratore. Original plan. I have no shortage of fire on a normal basis, so if it simply functions like a trolls regeneration, then no problem. If not, being "Tecuri magic", then who knows"

V looks at the scene inside the fiery realm. "Shall we just avoid the golems if we can? Or do we want to eliminate them now? They may come into play some time later at the call of Braella or something else. may be safest to eliminate them. But if everything in the pocket realm starts putting itself back together in order to maintain the integrity of the realm, we would just be wasting resources that we may need ahead for a pointless battle."

Plain of Cracks (DM Cayzle & DM Michael) 
Wednesday May 29th, 2019 11:05:59 PM

There is a quick common consensus to avoid the golems, and so you skirt around and circle past. That seems to work fine -- so long as you are not within reach, they seem to have no orders to attack.

The temperature is hot hot HOT! And the terrain is a blasted ruin of slag heaps, chasms, and boulders. Soon the golems are out of sight. An hour passes. WHO DOES NOT HAVE HEAT RESISTANCE of some kind? make a DC15 Fortitude saving throw each hour or take 1d4 points of nonlethal damage. Characters wearing heavy clothing or armor of any sort take a –4 penalty on their saves.

At last the terrain flattens, and you find yourselves looking over a flat plain. There’s something out there say a quarter mile out. A building? A giant? You’ll have to cross the plain to get there. The plain is flat, but cracked and strewn with rocks. It is difficult terrain.

Tishe’ walks and sweats. She is experienced with hot conditions, but not acclimated, and thanks her forethought to have her Endure Elements Spell active. (Ooc: rolled in case that is not enough. 14 fail)

At the sight of the very difficult terrain, the Sorceress decides to take to the sky, casting Fly Spell. And then she has another idea, suspicion really. “We’ve been told, whether we believe it or not, that the land is a reflection of the wizard. What if it is not just passive? Could Maegos be watching us and testing our tactics? When I was first in Cinnamon Valley, the villain Skalipy often did scary upon our group.”

And with that thought, Tishe’ casts Detect Scry.

Brom leads the way across the barren plain. The heat is ridiculous but he handles it fine. He sees the structure and points it out to the others. He keeps his sword over his shoulder as he moves.

"Let's go say hi." He says.

Edson is sweating bad as he makes his way along the blasted path. His shirts and pants are soaked, and he can't even get enough spit in his mouth to wet it.

Seeing the "thing" in the distance, he cups his hand on his forehead to kill off some of he sun.

Sweat begins to linger on Lanliss forehead.

Emrys and Daemon make their way along the hot barren wasteland as cool as cucumbers. The magic keeping them comfortable is working like a charm ... no, an evocation. Emrys looks down at Daemon as he slithers through the sand and considers a thought ... a thought he had never considered before.

Daemon looks up and says, "I can hear your thoughts."

"Then what do you think," asks Emrys. After a short pause, "Ohhh, excellent choice!"

Barratore gives a shake of his head to scatter the sweat every so often. He was glad for the Endure Elements from V. Staring out across the the blasted terrain, Barratore snorts. "About 1500 feet. Bit far for a scouting mission Edson." Barratore falls in stride a few feet to Brom's right and just a step back to easily keep him in his visual field.

"Can we all fly in once we get a bit closer. I have a potion."

Tishe’ is fine with her Endure Elements. Suspicious, she casts Detect Scry. OOPS! That fails. Recall the DM Post of April 24 -- all dimensional and divination magic fails in this demiplane.

“As you pass over the threshhold, you have an odd feeling, similar to entering a Rope Trick spell or hopping into a portable hole or entering a mage’s mansion spell. Any magical detection effects you have currently active fail. You sense a “fzzzzt!” and you note that your bags of holding or other extra-dimensional spaces become inert and inaccessible.”

Velarin says, "I already cast an Endure elements upon myself and Barratore.” He has one more left.

Brom leads the way, ignoring the heat.

Edson is hot but dealing. He offers to scout ahead invisibly.

Lanliss is ok with the heat too.

Emrys and his spirit companion use witch magic to stay comfy. They commune telepathically and consider a potential surprise ...

Barratore discourages scouting at the moment, and offers flight later on.

After about 100 feet of travel into the cracked broken plain, you find that you have moved into an area of unstable ground, and the surface beneath your feet cracks, releasing a vent of steam that scalds and burns. Please make a Reflex Save vs DC25 for 29 damage or 14 (Evasion gives no damage on a save)

If you make a Perception check vs DC20, then Highlight to display spoiler: {you hear a metallic buzzing.}

Tishe’ is actually surprised again at her Detect Scry failing. “I had thought it was moving into the realm that canceled active divination, not that new divination would not be able to be set up. Still, if we can’t Dim Door or Scry, then, hopefully, neither can anyone else?” The Sorceress shakes her head. “I just can’t be sure of that,” she moans, “because of Teucri Magic.”

V moves quickly to the side as a blast of steam burns him, but fortunately he avoided the worst of it (reflex 26). As quickly as he is able, he casts fly upon himself and moves 15' into the air.

"That was lovely. In response to your question regarding flying in Barratore....I agree." the wizard says from 15' above the group.

"And yes Emrys, I hear the buzzing as well." V looks to the skies(perception 39) for an airborne threat. "A clever trap would be one that made you move off the ground so that the real threat from the air had an easier target."

Barratore pauses as he recovers, and hears a metallic buzzing. The fighter starts searching about for the source of the sound. "I hear a metal buzzing sound, could be a swarm of something. If so, we're gonna need some area of effect damage and I got nothing like that."

Barratore does rummage through his backpack and get a potion of Fly, and drinks it.

Emrys is not able to avoid the steam and attempts to warn the others of a buzzing sound. Daemon avoids some of the blast.

Tishe continues to feel confounded by the teruchi magic

Lanliss was close to avoiding the steam but still gets hit by it pretty solidly.

Velarin avoids the steam and then casts fly on himself. He then moves 15’ into the air.

Barratore partly dodges -- Brom and Edson are both hit by the steam full force.

[OOC: The DMs ask you to keep your headers up to date!!]

The party looks up to try to find where the noise is coming from. Emrys and Velarin see four swarms of insects crawling out of the cracks in the ground and homing in on the party. These are indeed swarms, as you deduced! They are large insects, like hornets or bees, but either coated in or composed of a silvery metal.

As these swarms attack, they provoke AoOs from those attacked -- however, their immunity to physical damage means there’s no reason to roll unless you also inflict energy damage as part of your attack.

A swarm flies out to cover Emrys, inflicting 10 hp damage. Please make a Fort DC 17 save; if you fail, please take 4 points of Dexterity damage. Spellcasting and other actions in the swarm require a concentration DC17 check.

A swarm flies out to cover Edson, inflicting 10 hp damage. Please make a Fort DC 17 save; if you fail, please take 3 points of Dexterity damage. Spellcasting and other actions in the swarm require a concentration DC17 check.

A swarm flies out to cover Lanliss, inflicting 8 hp damage. Please make a Fort DC 17 save; if you fail, please take 1 points of Dexterity damage. Spellcasting and other actions in the swarm require a concentration DC17 check.

A swarm flies out to cover Velarin, inflicting 16 hp damage. Please make a Fort DC 17 save; if you fail, please take 1 points of Dexterity damage. Spellcasting and other actions in the swarm require a concentration DC17 check.

[DM Reminder: A swarm is immune to critical hits and flanking. A swarm composed of Fine creatures is immune to all weapon damage. Reducing a swarm to 0 hit points or less causes it to break up, though damage taken until that point does not degrade its ability to attack or resist attack. Swarms are never staggered or reduced to a dying state by damage. Also, they cannot be tripped, grappled, or bull rushed, and they cannot grapple an opponent. A swarm is immune to any spell or effect that targets a specific number of creatures (including single-target spells such as disintegrate). A swarm takes half again as much damage (+50%) from spells or effects that affect an area, such as splash weapons and many evocation spells. Swarms made up of Diminutive or Fine creatures are susceptible to high winds.]

Tishe’ rises vertically 30’ higher into the air. “I’ve got a pick, but it’s warped! I can cast Freezing Sphere on all of the swarms, but everyone in the swarm will be affected too!”

The Sorceress delays her action to enable the others to get ready or deal with the Swarms in a less... drastic... way. Any Swarms that are still attacking (and the Keepers in the swarm) after everyone else has their actions gets a Freezing Sphere Spell! (Unless Velarin tells her not to)

V curses under his breath as the flying swarm surrounds him. "[B]"Oh sure. Go after the skinny Elf ya stupid bugs. Don't go eat the giant all you can eat buffets wearing heavy armor.[B/]

Velarin avoids the main onslaught of the bugs attacking him(fort 28)

"Tishe', Edson and Lanliss are good at avoiding area of effect spells. You should be able to use those on their swarms. I'm about to relocate from mine and do the same. It's Emrys we will need to be careful with, but he can usually handle himself with spells."

V casts Dim Door(concentration 28) and relocates himself 60' back in the direction that they just came from, and still 15' in the air. He than casts a quickened fireball, trying to get as many swarms as possible, but making sure not to hit Tishe' or Emrys. Everyone else could handle a basic fireball with little to no effect on them.(42 damage, reflex 24 for 1/2)

Lanliss feels some drops of blood and tingling sensetion where his intact skin was.
"No burns so far !", Lanliss thinks positively and closes his eyes.

As he opens his eyes he sees the four swarms that are on track to collision with the party.
He sees Tishe planning something and gets distracted.

As the first swarm hits Lanliss.
Lanliss screams in agony and curses "Gragul Bats !".
While being in the swarm, Lanliss feels a suspicious feeling in his legs as if he got cut in the tendons or joint, a really uneasy feeling.
He keeps trying to avoid the swarm and manges to avoid a second one.

Lanliss then feels cold energy as he turns his head to Tishe.
Only to get a blast of ice to the face and the rest of his body, he can only feel the agonizing overwhelming pain of ice COLD ICE.

Swarm- fail def

Tishe Attack- Lanliss ice blasted

Emrys and Daemon are assaulted by countless bites and stings. He instinctively activates his Bramble Armor (free action) and the hard, sharp thorns deal damage to the swarm (Damage: 12).

He heard their mechanical buzz, he feels the metallic skin ... he has an idea. Both him and his viper scramble back out of the swarm and Emrys immediately begins casting. A swirling cloud of antimagic fills the area of the swarm that had attacked him. If the swarm is a construct, then the magic giving it life will be deactivated. If they are magically summoned, then they'll return from where they came. He hopes for a good result.

Flying Tishe’ rises 15’ higher and delays.

Flying Velarin casts a dim door spell to move 60’ back and away from the swarm. He then casts fireball at the swarm. He discovers that the swarms are immune to fire. However, the friendly “fire” may affect Edson and Lanliss -- you two, please make a reflex save DC24 for 42 fire damage, half if you save (no damage if you save with Evasion).

Flying Barratore grimaces as the swarms attack the others.

Emrys activates bramble armor and attempts to move at a distance and casts greater dispel magic on the swarms. The bramble armor is useless against the metallic bugs. And Greater Dispel Magic does not stop constructs from functioning ... unless you can find a rule your DMs don’t know?

Tishe’ rises 15’ higher and casts a freezing sphere spell at the swarms. It affects all four swarms as well as Edson, Lanliss, Brom, and Barratore.

Tishe’s magic penetrate’s the monsters’ SR21 with a roll of 27. The swarms save ... Damage 75. Reflex DC 23 for half. The swarms roll ... swarms 1 and 3 take half damage, swarms 2 and 4 take full. That’s 112 or 56. Swarms 2 and 4 are destroyed.

Edson, Brom, and Barratore -- please roll a reflex save DC23 for 75 cold damage. Not Lanliss -- he rolls his below.

Lanliss yells out “Gargul bats!” as he is attacked by the swarm and hit by friendly area spells. He takes a little damage, then moves away from the swarm. [OOC could you email me to go over your rolls and damage, thanks! Not that you are wrong, just that I’m confused. -- Cayzle]

There are two remaining swarms.

The swarm (#2) now on Edson continues to attack, inflicting 16 hp damage. Please make a Fort DC 17 save; if you fail, please take 4 points of Dexterity damage. Spellcasting and other actions in the swarm require a concentration DC17 check.

A swarm (#4) that used to be attacking Velarin now moves over to a closer target after Emrys flees. It flies over to swarm Brom, inflicting 8 hp damage. Please make a Fort DC 17 save; if you fail, please take 1 points of Dexterity damage. Spellcasting and other actions in the swarm require a concentration DC17 check.

Lanliss, since you failed your poison save, please try again. Please make a Fort DC 17 save; if you fail, please take 3 points of Dexterity damage.

Finally, the steam blows out again, affecting those near the cracks -- ie, those landbound. Emrys, Edson, Brom, and Barratore -- please roll a Reflex Save vs DC25 for 42 damage or 21 (Evasion gives no damage on a save)

Only Swarm 2, on Edson, and Swarm 4, on Brom, are now alive, Each has taken 56 damage. Each has SR21 and other construct traits.

Emrys was able to dodge most of the steam this time, but it wasn't any less painful. Daemon makes it look easy ... he avoids it completely. Emrys casts a cure spell on himself and they both retreat further away from the swarms and steam geysers.

Plain of Cracks (DM Cayzle & DM Michael) 
Tuesday June 4th, 2019 11:39:49 PM

Two lightning bolts later, the last two swarms are dispersed. Your kindly DMs even allow that the path of the bolts can be angled, in this mapless fight, to avoid the PCs within the swarms. Metal hornets defeated, the heroes may sigh in relief. Or can they?

After all, there is quarter mile of this rugged cracked terrain ahead of you. You just travelled 50 or so feet in, and these steam issuances proved a hazard. Looking across the plain, now that you know to look, you can see steam blasts at random times and locations all throughout this plain.

Emrys has backed off and is out of danger. Tishe’ and Velarin and Barratore are flying above the blasts and are out of danger. Will that magical flight last long enough to cross a quarter of a mile? Edson and Brom and Lanliss are exposed to future blasts ... and the future is only a moment away!

How will you make it across this terrain, oh heroes? And do you suppose that there were only these four swarms lurking within hives under the cracks?

Also note that two heroes are poisoned, and you know what they say about poison and making another save a little in the future ...

[OOC Note 1: I am assuming that you good folks are tracking hit points and spent resources accurately. Per Emrys’s note, yes, I am not surprised at all to hear that some PCs are actually quite injured ... and a quarter mile of this terrain lies ahead. Good luck!

OOC Note 2: Looking back through the archive, it seems like the DMs have not awarded any experience points at all for this adventure so far. That’s not cool. For scene one, please accept 120,000 xp. For scene two, please accept 150,000 xp. (The cracked plains is scene three, and you have not yet completed it!) Also please email us any nominations for hero point awards.]

He is relieved to see the metallic swarm defeated. Emrys is surprised to see several members of his fellowship appear more injured than he had expected.

He waves everyone to move in close ... he wasn't wanting to shout at everyone from a distance, and he didn't want to cast a dozen or spells to heal everyone up.

"We don't need to keep walking over this volatile wasteland ... it's proving more troublesome than expected. I say we take to the air and avoid it as much as possible. There is only one spell that would best accommodate all of us over an extended period of time ... Wind Walk." With a little magical hackery, I can cast it on each of us and it will last 21 hours."

"BUT first ... I can't have you all injured!" He begins a series of casts, each tailored for the severity of injuries.

(Emrys casts Heal on both Barratore and Brom. They are healed 150 points. A long list of conditions are also removed.)

(Emrys casts Cure Critical Wounds of Lanliss, empowered with Spirtual Healing. Cures 4d12+17: 4+2+10+7+17 = 40. Emrys casts Cure Moderate Wounds. Cures 2d12+10: 5+8+10 = 23.)

( Emrys casts Lesser Restoration on Lanliss. Restores 3 Dex. Thinking that Lanliss is poisoned, Emrys will Treat Poison using his Heal Skill. Heal Check: 30 vs Poison DC.)

( Emrys casts Cure Moderate Wounds on Velarin. Cures 2d12+10: 8+9+10 = 28.)

( Emrys casts Cure Serious Wounds on Edson. Cures 3d12+15: 7+6+4+15 = 32.)

Emrys then begins casting a sadistic little spell where he uses his own lifeforce to empower a spell. A spectral dagger appears in his hand and with a sigh, he slashes it across his throat. He immediately goes pale and a ghostly wound appears on his neck. He places his hand against the wound and his fingers become stained with a black ichor. The wound fades.

(Emrys casts Surrender Blood. Deals 20 points of damage. +4 Caster Level on his next spell.)

As he casts his next spell, the 'blood' on his hand disappears and everyone can feel they have the ability to turn to mist and take flight at will.

( Emrys casts Wind Walk on Everyone. Cast as Caster Level 21 ... enough for 8 recipients.)

Feeling depleted from the Blood Magic, Emrys then casts a Cure spell on himself.

( Emrys casts Cure Critical Wounds on himself. Cures 4d12+17 = 3+10+10+4+17 = 44.)

Once we are ready, I can cast Extended Fly spells on everyone who doesn’t have their own flying capability, and we can get over this treacherous ground.”

Emrys' heal restore Barratore completely and he calls out that the steam blasts from the cracked ground have occurred far more often than the spellcasting plans of the bloodwitch. "I think having the ability to fight while airborne is our better course. Wind walk gets us there, but we still end up locked to the ground and potentially additional dangers."

To that point, Wind Walk or no, Barratore asks Tishe for an Extended Fly spell. The fighter is in constant motion, making a large loop about the party. Flying, magical or otherwise, was not second nature to the Minotaur and he has to rbe main in motion or fall

First, Emrys takes care of his friends with cures. He restores all three points of dexterity damage to Lanliss and ensures that Lanliss and Edson no longer take more damage. Edson is still down seven dex, though.

Then the party debates: Extended Fly spells or Wind Walk?

Tishe’ wants to casts extended Fly on anyone who needs it. She is supported by Baratorre.

Emrys wants to boost his caster level with a blood sacrifice, and then to cast Wind Walk on the party. He is supported by Edson, Lanliss, and Velarin.

Brom is just happy to be cured.

The DM pushes the plot forward with the Wind Walk spell. The spell is a bit like a mass Gaseous Form, so your action choices while wind walking are limited. Then again, you are immune to swarm attacks while you travel, a benefit the Fly spells would not provide. And you fly high above the stem blasts, so its all good.

You arrive at a small open air domed temple. It looks something like this, but without the people or plant life or railing. Hovering above, you see in the floor under the dome spiral stairs going down.

Tishe’ acknowledges Velarin and doesn’t cast any Fly spells. But she is able to continue to use her own (remembering the last time everyone was in a Wind Walk and was ambushed upon trying to solidify. )

At the temple, she hovers and looks for what’s wrong with the picture. “Everything else in this place has tried to kill us; why should this be any different?”

She tries to use Detect Magic. Maybe a low level divination will work?

He hopes that everyone understands that a blood witch isn't a healer. His magic doesn't come from the 'happy thoughts' and 'giggles' of holy sources. He's explained that fact enough, but no one seems to take heed. Never mind that they're already beginning to reek of blood, peat moss, damp earth and rotting wood. Though among all the deep, earthy scents is a marvelous hint of pine! 'The Great Culverwood does care,' he thinks with a smile. "Oh well," he mutters, he doubts they'll have to serve as Shamblers for Culverwood for very long. Brom is already looking a bit mossy ... or is that normal for the barbarian?

"Edson, my eyes are still spotty; adjusting to all the magic that's been cast ... I didn't notice you were still corrupted by poison. Here let me help. The Great Culverwood has great plans for us all!"

(Emrys casts Lesser Restoration on Edson, three times! Cures: 1+4+2 = 7 Dex. Horrible rolls... unless the reroll of 1's also count for Restoration spells ... please, please, please!)

Barratore lands nearby and becomes solid. He activates his animated shield and draws his sword. "Are we still in the talking and find out mood or are we now just going to be destroying everything as fast as taurically possible?"

The healing part always seemed to take a bit of a toll on Emrys. Some connection the fighter didn
t really understand. He gives the bloodwwitch a 'slight' pat on the back ,"Hey this time, it was not Brom an me's fault."

If Emrys and Lanliss give the all clear, Barraoter heads down as the point of the The Keepers spear.

Note that under the effect of wind walking, as with gaseous form, you cannot speak or cast spells with components. Since your posts include both, your DMs are assuming that you are landing in order to take the actions you have mentioned.

After the wind walking is over, Lanliss checks for traps, while Velarin waits, and Tishe’ attempts to detect magic on the visinity of the open air temple.

You find no traps, but the divination spell fails.

Emrys needs to use three Lesser Restorations to cure Edson’s dexterity damage, sorry no reroll on 1.

The downward stairs await, with only room for one medium size person at a time. Large Baratorre will have to use the squeezing rules.

One step ahead of the rest of his friends, Baratorre volunteers to go first, and he is already looking around alertly. In other words, marching order for everyone else, please. Single file.

The party is feeling a bit frustrated with the lands and questions why everything is trying to kill them (maybe it’s just in their imagination after all). Meanwhile, a floating Tishe’ suggests a marching line with Baratorre in the front. Then Brom, Edson, Velarin, Tishe’, Emrys, and finally Lanliss -- all march in their places. Baratorre plans to “swing first, ask questions later” -- and he squeezes forward.

You all walk down ... down ... about 100 steps, you figure. There is plenty of light to see by. There is a reddish glow coming up from below. The walls grow warm. The red light carries heat with it, heat rising up the circular staircase.

You cannot see the bottom yet, but the red glow is getting brighter. The heat is growing more intense. If you continue, you will definitely start taking damage. You pause just before getting to that point. Your plans for this increasingly dangerous environment?

Barratore pauses in his descent to check on the others "If things go past the Endure Elements spell, we will all need something, but for me, for now, I'll hold off Tishe."

Velarin protects himself with resist fire, and gets ready to cast one on Barratore.

Edson asks for a spell from Tishe’ The elf keeps scanning for traps.

Sweating profusely, Lanliss looks over to Tishe’ would you please?

Lanliss decides to wait to cast Resist energy until it becomes too much, hoping endure elements will be enough for now.

Brom falls in line with the rest.

Emrys casts planar adaptation on himself which shares with Daemon.

Brom and Barratore take 9 hit points of fire damage, then each accepts a fire resistance. That’s two resist fires from Velarin, four from Tishe’ and a Planar Adaptation from Emrys.

After the party makes appropriate preparations, you enter a large area that has bedrock covering the ground and lava flowing in different spots. Without resist fire or equlvalent, you would be taking significant damage on a round by round basis. The fumes are unsafe to breathe, probably, but for now you’re unaffected.

There is a band of lava spanning the room and halting your progress. Magma elementals sport and play in the lava, leaping out, touching the 20’ ceiling, and splashing back down. Beyond this river of lava, you see a waterfall, or curtain of lava ahead of you.

Please consider The Map!

Tishe’ casts Extended Resist Fire Energy on Edson, Lanliss, and Brom as well as herself, giving them each nearly six hours of protection. “We are on the hourglass now”, she considers. “If we can’t find Maegos by the time these run out, we’ll need more spells to get out and try again.”

At the magma pool, the Spellweaver moves to her right to make the Keepers less of a OneBigTarget. “I’ll be ready with my Ice Spell if anyone wants to talk to the magma creatures. Are we even on the right path or is this a side quest?” She looks around at the apparent dead end.

From the back of the group, Emrys prepares to cast a spell if the elementals attack. He expects they may take offense to Velarin's thick, elven accent ... causing their language to sound overly flameboyant. However, being equal part of earth and fire, they may like that!

Tishe’ casts Extended Resist Fire Energy on Edson, Lanliss, and Brom as well as herself, and warns the party of its limits. At the magma pool she moves to the right and prepares an ice spell.

The kindly DMs note that you will want to mention the amount of protection bestowed by the spell.

Edson thanks Tishe for the spell and falls in line with the others. Once down in the lava room, Edson moves away from the pack (To c11). He activates his invisibility, and pulls out his bow.

Velarin speaks to the elementals. They are just Int 4 -- basically like dolphins. To get any info out of them, please take a minute and make a Diplomacy check. One of the playful elementals shouts “CATCH!” and tosses a magma ball to Velarin, but it is easy to avoid. There might have been some splash damage, but with Resist Fire, no problemo.

Lanliss looks around carefully. He sees that the curtain of lava falling from the ceiling up ahead is gloppy, sometimes thick, sometimes thinner. He has the feeling that there is open space behind the curtain.

Barratore takes a step forward, ready to fight.

Emrys is ready to cast.

So far, the magma elementals -- there are about ... eight of them? -- are just playful, not attacking.

While he hopefully awaits a response, V says to his companions "Should this fail, we will likely need to go through the lava curtain. Since I've failed to bring my fire proof umbrella, anyone have any ideas? the resist energy should hopefully give a decent amount of protection, but I'm not sure how much damage something like that would inflict."

Emrys explains how the Wind Walk spell works [OOC: To both his friends and to the multiverse at large, lol!].

Tishe’ takes this lesson to heart. She moves to E6, next to Barratore. She spends five rounds changing to gaseous wind walker form, then flies at speed 10 across the stream of lava. Taking two move actions, she ends her hustle 20 ft across.

As she crosses, five of the magma elementals shout (in Ignan) “Dodgeball!” They throw balls of magma at Tishe. Of the five, only one hits, for 1 hp plus 3 fire damage, and the DR10 bestowed by the gaseous form and the fire resistance means no damage for Tishe.

Velarin and Lanliss follow suit. They too attract the attentions of the playful magma creatures, and another five balls of lava fly out ... one is a crit threat on Lanliss, but it fails to confirm. Again, the DR and Resist Fire effects mean no damage for the two gaseous fliers.

Barratore waits to see what happens ... the DM assumes he waits to start assuming gaseous form (takes five rounds).

Edson and Brom wait too!

On the other side, the heat coming off the curtain of lava and the heat from the stream of laval behind are very intense. Tishe’ takes 34 hp of fire damage; Velarin takes 36 hp of fire damage; Lanliss takes 21 hp of fire damage. Of course, your fire resistance takes 30 off the top of that, right? There’s still some damage coming through -- it is THAT hot. Well, not for Lanliss because 21-30 means no damage this round.

All three are in gaseous form, and it takes five rounds to condense back into normal form. We’re round by round because of the damage. And the dodgeballs.

The lava curtain is thick and gloppy. You see that there is some open space beyond. If those next to it make a perception check vs DC25, then Highlight to display spoiler: {The space behind the curtain is open at least 20 or 30 feet forward, and there’s a wall or obstacle or something beyond.}

You cannot pass the curtain in gaseous form -- you would have to physically push or swim through, and per the spell, you “can't enter water or other liquid.”

Lanliss enjoys the moment as the elementals try to throw fireballs at the keepers.
In his gaseous form he feels lighter, and more...free, the heat is intense he can't think very clearly making it a little bit dangerous.
He wish he could dodge the fireballs easily but the heat effects him.
"Lucky me the fire resistance spell is working very well here " , he thinks as finishes crossing the 'playfield'.
"See you in a second", he tells the elementals and moves further near the wall (L3 or M3) and tries to move a hand through the curtain but is unsuccessful..
He takes a long peek at the curtain.
"I can't pass", He shouts to the keepers.
"There is some sort of a open space with wall or something at the other side" ,he shouts even louder.

Friends, we’re going round by round so long as anyone is taking damage.

Velarin looks through the lava waterfall to see what is there and then flies back across the lava river to where the others were still waiting. He considers the need for another plan.

Tishe’ moves back to the side where the Keepers came down. We’re in round-by-round, so changing back has to wait.

Lanliss stays near the curtain of lava and tries to shout to his friends across the lava stream. However, you cannot make any noise while using gaseous form, so no sound emerges from his mouth. It is still very hot over there, and Lanliss takes 35 hp damage (Resist Energy subtracts 30 of that).

Edson, still invisible, starts changing to gaseous form. It will take him five rounds to change.

Barratore and Brom are waiting. Emrys too, the DMs guess.

Still round by round so long as Lanliss is in the hot zone taking damage, unless he says he is willing to push a few rounds forward. I just do not want to surprise anyone with a lot of heat damage.

Action explanation: Lanliss will move to a random place near the keepers and will commence a change to normal form so he will be able to speak.

"I could attempt to Polymorph the stone floor (Polymorph Any Object) to form a tunnel through the fire curtain and redirect its flow ... and I can do it from here without getting singed. If successful, we can windwalk through with little trouble."

Tishe’ thinks out loud about which spell might work, but can not seem to come up with the answer.

Emrys questions whether they are in the right place as it “seems to be a nursery for elementals.” He then suggests a polymorph spell on the floor to create a tunnel to make it past the curtain.

Brom awaits for the group’s decision.

Velarin agrees with both Emrys and Barratores plan.

Edson has the good idea to check for cracks or narrow ways the party can go before creating their own. Alas, he finds no egress.

Emrys casts his spell, with the clever idea of changing the floor into a tube that passes through the laval curtain. Your rules-lawyering DM is noit positive that you can polymorph a portion of a floor ... but the spell does polymorph ANY object ... and it is both clever and cool ... so it is allowed!

Using his witchy REACH, Emrys shapes a tunnel, 5 ft in diameter, 20 ft long, with a 1 ft bore. It extends through the lava curtain to the other side.

The party takes the time to assume gaseous form and floats across the lava. The elementals shout for joy and pelt you with molten stone. Ten throws ... there’s even a critical hit! But your DR and fire resistance makes that all moot.

On the other side, you each take 7 hp damage after fire resistance. The tube has begun to heat up, and passing through that, you each take 3 more hp fire damage after resistance. 10 hp damage each total (including Daemon, of course).

On the other side, the room extends another 30 ft beyond the lava curtain. There IS a fissure here, a big one, bisecting the far wall and extending into the ceiling. To go further will take climbing or flying. You have not yet returned to regular form.

Tishe prefers not to wind walk over ... but she had no choice. The tube through the lava curtain was too narrow. And your kindly DM has not told you about the invisible poison gasses between the curtain and the stream, considering that you are immune to poison in gaseous form. Do let’s advance the action ... all PCs have used gaseous form to go through the narrow tube, and are now on the far side.

[OOC: If that’s not ok, well, we can back up and play it out. Your call.]

Lanliss and Velarin are content to remain silent and gaseous ... they are set to float up into the fissure.

A climb/float of about 15 ft up and 40 feet along brings you to another chamber, this one a natural cave, albeit with a worked solid flat floor. The temperature is cooler. You see in the cave a large lever. It is parallel to the floor, and the slot in which it is set suggests that you can push it either up or down.

As you enter the cavern, about 20 feet from the lever, you see two translucent humanoid shapes step out of the wall. They stand at attention, looking at you.

Emrys and Daemon turn gaseous and fly through the opening in the fiery, molten curtain. The trip stung quite a bit but they both make it through. Emrys suggests mentally that Daemon stay gaseous for now, that the form could prove useful. Daemon agrees and only Emrys materializes. He continues to mentally communicate with the vaporous viper, 'keep an eye out for anything, alert me if you notice anything from above.'

Daemon replies, 'I am your eyess and tongue!'

After seeing the translucent humanoids appear, Emrys mutters, "Crooks and Hooks, what now?"

The party enters the cave and goes through the process of changing from gas to solid, without changing to liquid in between.

As you look around the cave, you see that the two figures look a lot like ghosts ... like identical twin human male warrior ghosts. You hear a voice from the ceiling.

Know Arcana check 25: Highlight to display spoiler: {Permanent Magic Mouth}

The voice says: “One forever speaks the truth. The other always lies. Make your choice and quickly now, or everybody dies.”

The ghost on the right says, “Heed me, I speak the truth. Mine is the correct course.”

The ghost on the left says, “No, he lies. His advice will lead to your death! Your death and eternal doom!”

“Of course you’d say that, you lying liar. Don’t be fooled by his lies!”

“No he lies! The true path comes from my advice!”

The liar, knowing the truth-Ghost would point the way to avoid, would lie and point at the certain doom.”

So Am I overthinking this, or is that the answer?”

Edson nods in agreement with Tishe.

Lanliss and Velarin agrees with Tishe’ and V wonders what the worst could happen…

Tishe’ shares with her friends a concrete way to reason out this puzzle. She wonders if she is overthinking things, or if thinking about whether she is, is overthinking? And as if hearing V’s thought, Tishe’ wonders...what really could happen?

Barratore agrees with Tishe’, grabs the bull by the horns, so to speak, and asks the ghost on the left “What would the other being say would be the way to avoid certain doom?”

The LEFT Ghost says, “Let’s ask him!” He looks at the RIGHT Ghost and asks it, “What would you say, to avoid certain doom?”

The RIGHT Ghost says, “Pull the lever DOWN, of course.”

The LEFT Ghost looks at Barratore and says, “Of course, I say push the lever UP!”

Tishe’ smiles wryly at Lanliss. “It is a classic tale told in the Woldian League of Adventurers, Sieur Lanliss. And I suppose it was a well known tale even the mage’s time, because he has added a twist: there is no guarantee they HAVE to answer our questions!”

She thinks for a second, offering ideas for the other Keepers. “Maybe there are scratches showing wear to be a clue as to which way the lever goes. Or maybe neither door is correct, and there is a secret door. Like a carny’s cup-and-ball game, where every choice is wrong if you play by the rules provided. We have no guarantee that the Magic Mouth is telling the truth.”

While her pack mates do their thing, Tishe’ turns to the ghosts, “Maegos is certainly a waxed beater, isn’t he? Cut your threads and trapped you in this undying state. You poor pitiful creatures!”

Tishe’ carefully watches the two ghosts, seeing if she can get a hunch as to which is the liar.

Emrys decides to revise his way of thinking in this twister of logic.

"The left ghost asks the right ghost which direction to avoid certain doom. We can assume by asking the question, the left ghost doesn't know the answer. The right ghost gives a definite answer to this question, down, of course ... without any doubt. Then the left ghost addresses Barratore, without being questioned about either outcome. Is the left ghost's answer referring to certain doom or not, or is he simply being oppositional? If the left ghost is simply stating the opposite, then he is lying.

Lanliss hits his head with his right hand as Barratore and Velarin (hopefully) find an easy solution to the problem, a rather very simple solution.

As a backup, Lanliss tries to find something in the Lever or in the area that might give a clue to the existence of either a trap or a rigged game (both choices are doom)/

Tishe’ investigates in her mind for clues. She engages the ghosts in conversation and attempts to see if she can read anything from them. She has the vague idea that something is not on the up and up.

Emrys tries to figure it out, but does not say anything to the ghosts.

Barratore the bold steps forward to speak. He asks the LEFT ghost. "Is the other ghost to my right?" The LEFT Ghost says, “Well, ya got me. YES, he is to your right!”

Velarin holds up his hand with two fingers in the air and asks each of the ghosts "How many fingers am I holding up?" The LEFT Ghost says, “Two.” The RIGHT Ghost says, “Three? Four? Some number other than two? And by the way, make sure you pull the lever down.”

The LEFT Ghost just rolls his eyes.

Lanliss takes a really close look at the lever. He sees that clearly it CAN go up or down. He also perceives that it can TURN, like a key. And that it is connected to a trap.

Tishe’ mumbles. “Something is sunbaked about this”, and is relieved Velarin and Barratorre seem to have the easy figure out which ghost is shady and which is bright. It is Lanliss’ discovery that is the thread that makes the tapestry. “Shady picks, Sieur Lanliss! There are not two directions, but a potential combination of three! Can you determine which way is not trapped?”

She readies a magic missle spell for the first ghost that attacks… just in case.

'Great,' he thinks, 'I just doomed the party with my choice of liar.' His inclination to overthink everything would have gotten everyone killed. Thankfully there are clearer minds present.

Lanliss takes a closer look at the lever, he sighs with frustration and makes a circular move around the lever.
Ignoring some of the stimuli Oaround him he says after a few moments
"I think if we take it up like Velarin said we will get the result intended by the designer" he makes a move with hands pointing his hand to the lever "of this 'thing'..... "
He then says calmly, referring to the lever "It can go up and down like everyone would say but it can also turn..twist like some sort key or trigger"
He then goes on to look for his trusty tools, looking for a rather rare one he didn't use for a long time, the one with the pointy edge that look a a small version of a serrated dagger and axe.

"I am going to try to find a way to disarm the trap or rather disconnect the triger"
He exhales and continues "or rather... I am going to make the wrong choice not work"

He then goes on to disable the device or rather thee connection to the trap.
He looks above the lever and a little bit underneath it looking for visible or invisible trigger or something that is connected to the trap.

“Push the lever up,” Velarin encourages.

Tishe’ asks Lanliss about the least trapped option ... of ... three? She readies a magic missile.

Barratore draws his sword and imbues his weapon with the Undead Hunter spell Ghost Touch. He then encourages Lanliss to figure out which way the lever goes.

Emrys, deep in thought, grapples with new information

Edson is ready for a fight.

Lanliss explains how the lever can be utilized to the party and agrees with Velarin about pushing the lever up. Lanliss then attempts to disarm any traps connected to the lever. After his very skillful efforts, the lever will not go up or down. It will still turn, though ... that seems safe enough.

Brom puts his sword over his shoulder ready to attack either of the ghosts. His keen eyes notice that the ghosts seem disturbed at Lanliss’s findings and pokings -- they do not look as carefree as they did. More nervous like.

The RIGHT Ghost says “Just turn it, the secret door opens, and you can leave.”

The LEFT Ghost says, “Liar! Turn it WHILE you push up, and you’ll be safe.”

Lanliss is poised to just turn the lever. He could FORCE the lever up or down, but then the trap would trigger. He is poised to act ... [OOC: But his post ended dramatically in mid-sentence! The DMs don’t know how that works!]

Edson sympathizes with Lanliss’s hesitation and hopes his friend will choose correctly.

Lanliss turns the lever uttering with anger "Gragul's luck!".
As Barratore tries to turn the lever, Lanliss feels some feeling, a feeling of anger.
He only shouts "I know !" and makes a more forceful motion to twist and turn the lever trying not to let Barratore touch it.
He only manages to shout as Barratore hands touch the lever as well.
"If you Break it !"

Is it anger that Lanliss feels or perhaps some kind of jealousy.
the feelings from the academy, that feeling of uselessness, unable to decide quickly and taking too much damn time to do almost everything an adventurer might need to.
How many traps did he disable ?, How many things did he outrun.
How many magical and non magical machinations did he blow up or mess up upright... or downright.

Velarin encourages the party to take some action on the lever, and reminds the party that time is ticking (in the form of a body reforming itself).

Barratore moves up to the lever and grabs and twists it, going neither up nor down. "No Bull no black chips Lanliss, for Warrds sake."

Lanliss taking on what Brom would call rage, yells out to the group, after pressure from the group, “I know” and then “if you break it,” to Barratore. Did he get all of the traps??

Brom and Edson watch the arm wrestling match between Barratore and Lanliss.

Tishe’ keeps at the ready, but thinks that sometimes Barratorre talks weird.

And as both Barraore and Lanliss move the lever everything quiets for a second. One can’t help but wonder what will happen next and just as that surreal moment passes…

The ghosts bow and, with a rumble, a section of the cave in front of you pulls back, secret-door style. Beyond the cave is a huge chamber, part throne room, part forge, part museum. To the right is a glowing furnace and many tools for smith-work. To the left are several armor and weapon racks with fabulous pieces of work on display.

Ahead, Maegos is seated on his throne, flanked by four golems. He has the appearance of a suit of armor with glowing eyes. A perception check DC30 might show Highlight to display spoiler: {a glimpse of bone under the armor.}

He greets the party warmly. “Welcome heroes! You have succeeded with remarkable grace and mental prowess. You have pleased me well and brought joy to my heart as I watched you progress towards this chamber. Please, come close and talk. I have questions for you!”

The suspense is getting to him. He tries to prepare any possible act to pull his friends free from oblivion. It's a full time job with this crew, he thinks. All the dream conditioning hasn't seemed to be working on them. There is only so much he can do ... can contribute. He must let them choose their own fates every once in a while. It's good for them. He can't protect them from the countless hordes of demons forever.

'click!'

"Ahhh," sigh of relief.

As he enters the throne room with the others, he is surprised that Maegos is so cordial. A being of fire is usually more 'hot' tempered. Of course, that could be soon to come!

Emrys greets Maegos with similar pleasantness, including a short bow. "Greetings Lord Maegos. My name is Emrys Myrridanmyl." At first glance, he notices the hint of bones under his armor, but he refrains from drawing any attention to it.

Tishe’ readies an Ice Wall Spell to block the combat approach of anything in the armory on the left in case anything decides to animate and attack. Tishe’ introduces herself and the crew and then proposes a question per question sort of system.

Velarin suggests that perhaps it is a Liche. V stands by and watches Tishe' fire the first volley of questions, but he doesn't move forward unless Brom and Barratore do.

Brom muses as to what will come. Reunite them? Fight them? Brom doesn't care anymore. These lovers have issues.

Barratore steps forward 5’ to protect the group as the first target.

Emrys greets Maegos with similar pleasantness, including a short bow. "Greetings Lord Maegos. My name is Emrys Myrridanmyl."

Lanliss considers what he would have to do to fight an undead creature and thinks perhaps he has something that might work.

Edson stays invisible and attempts to sneak in. Is he noticed? Maybe no, or maybe yes, but your host does not choose to say anything?

Maegos chuckles, and agrees readily to Tishe’s proposal. “Haha! A question game! Excellent. You young heroes have already given me much both for wonder and for thought, and you continue to please me with your wit! Of course, let us exchange questions!”

“Here is my first query. Why did you not attack the magma elementals when they attacked you? Did you have any hint as to what would happen if you had?”

Since V was one of the ones that was attacked, he will take a couple steps forward respond to Maegos question, and then step back, and wait for Tishe' to continue her questioning.

"We did not attack them Lord Maegos, because they meant to do us no actual harm. That which could have been interpreted as a threat by some, they merely saw as a fun game. Since our lives were placed in no actual danger, attacking them would have been a vengeful reaction to a minor slight."

Barratore tries to stand casually. A style he had been working on for quite some time. Well at least since V pointed out that straight backed, shoulders square and arms folded was not the stance that told others, 'I'm a friendly fully armored and armed minotaur that won't try and rip you arms off as soon as you say something that displeases me'. So he has been experimenting with other styles, but shifting hi weigh to one leg always made him feel antsy as he shifted to the other in time. One foot in front of the other was awkward, off balanced and so feet firmly shoulder width apart was always how it would be. His hands were just as hard. Of course here he had a weapon and so one was basically occupied and it simply felt right to put the other on his hip.

Barratore keeps his focus to the left and right of Maegos, on the golems. V, Tishe and Emrys could freely engage with questions and the like and he would listen for the answers.

Agreeing with Velarin, Emrys adds, "Yes, the magma elementals seemed less like attackers and more like playful children. We walked in on their games and frivolity ... and they only wished to include us. No harm was meant."

Velarin answers the question: "We did not attack them Lord Maegos, because they meant to do us no actual harm. That which could have been interpreted as a threat by some, they merely saw as a fun game. Since our lives were placed in no actual danger, attacking them would have been a vengeful reaction to a minor slight.”

Lanliss and Emrys add detail.

Maegos laughs and smiles. “Well done! You out-thought me! It looked like you were talking with them. What a good one it would have been if you had attacked -- and funny on them too!”

Brom, Baratorre, and Edson keep alert and watchful. Brom notices that the two ghosts from the outer room are standing -- floating? -- in the short passage connecting the two areas.

Tishe’ asks a question: “Why the elaborate contest between you and Kalesandria?”

Maegos smiles, but his mien seems more serious. “This is a timeless place, as you have experienced, but time still passes, after a fashion. With so much time having gone by, we make such entertainments for ourselves as we can.”

Tishe’ makes bold to ask a second question. “What would you do if you had Kalesandria’s Roses?”

The ancient being’s smile broadens. “What would I do? Why, I would WIN! That’s enough for me!”

“My turn,” the armored lord says. “Tell me, how did you know to turn the lever instead of pushing it up or down? I tried my best to prime my ghosts to trick you! You devilish scamps! I was so looking forward to seeing the look on your faces when the trap was sprung, but you were too clever by half!” He seems pleased to have been thwarted, as a chessmaster might be delighted at a clever opponent’s checkmate.

V once again answers Maegos' question. "Well Lord Maegos, our friend Lanliss is quite gifted with levers, doors, and anything that can be trapped. Once he found and disabled the trap on the lever, it would only turn, leaving us to believe that up and down were both traps. The ghosts were a very clever ruse. Had Lanliss not discovered and disabled the trap, we would have likely pushed the lever up."

V once again waits for Tishe' to continue the questions, for at the moment, he found himself void of relevant questions.

Brom sees the ghosts. As he listens it becomes apparent the ghost lied from the beginning. A game of wits with an ancient being... definitely not in Brom's wheelhouse.

Tishe’ accepts what Maegos says, but is feeling that the Keepers are getting the short end of the stick on the answers. Not only is Velarin providing much more complete answers, there is no mechanism to ensure what Maegos is saying is the truth! Still, the Spellweaver feels the game must be played out, especially since she was the one to have suggested the parameters.

“THEN what happens, Sieur Maegos? Come now,” She chides with a wry smile, “We have given you complete answers that you may use to your benefit in altering your challenges, but you have provided us with nothing but the barest minimum and useless information. Be complete or we shall not offer more information! Are you only making a tally against Madame Kalesandria? Do you get to escape into the Wold? Or is there some other value for you? Once you have won, what then?”

Lanliss makes a small short bow as Velarin Mentions his name.
Lanliss feels dizzy as Velarin explain eveything in detail.
He tries his best to maintain a viligant appearance and not appear weak one as Velarin explain more and more.

"Thanks for the honesty", Lanliss thinks, "You just told him who is the trap expert"
"I hope it won't affect us in the upcoming moments"

Lanliss then thinks for a moment, "Where in Gragul's shadows is Edson ?"

Lanliss would have to have his question answered another time as Edson stays invisible. He watches the ghosts make their way in, and is starting to feel like a pincer attack is in place.

Edson continues watching, hoping this doesn't unfold like he thinks it will.

Wednesday July 3rd, 2019 11:43:48 PM

Barratore turns to look at the ghosts, on alert to them, and suspects they would be surprised at his capabilities.

Brom thinks about the ghost lying and also thinks about his strengths being in damaging foes with his weapons and strength rather than with his words.

Lanliss wonders about Edson, bit the invisible fellow is hoping to keep his presence a secret and an advantage.

Velarin responds to the ruler of this pocket realm, "Well Lord Maegos, our friend Lanliss is quite gifted with levers, doors, and anything that can be trapped. Once he found and disabled the trap on the lever, it would only turn, leaving us to believe that up and down were both traps. The ghosts were a very clever ruse. Had Lanliss not discovered and disabled the trap, we would have likely pushed the lever up."

Tishe’ considers what truths have really been told to them, and responds, “Then what happens, Sieur Maegos? Come now,” She chides with a wry smile, “We have given you complete answers that you may use to your benefit in altering your challenges, but you have provided us with nothing but the barest minimum and useless information. Be complete or we shall not offer more information! Are you only making a tally against Madame Kalesandria? Do you get to escape into the Wold? Or is there some other value for you? Once you have won, what then?”

Maegos puts on a sad face. “What, me? Minimum and useless! No, please do not say it! I am transparent and clear!”

“Look, I do not know for sure, but I suspect that if I set foot outside this Temple to Time, then I might well just wither away to dust as the years catch up. So no, I do not seek power beyond my realm, nor to rule above. It is enough to have visitors come from time to time to brave my challenges and entertain us with antics and tales.”

“And as I have said, of course I contest with my lady in the other dimension. What else have we to do over the ages? I will say that she hates me more than she finds me amusing, while I find her amusing more than I hate her. She would likely kill me were she able. I would not do so, but holding her flowers, I would have the mastery over her that would enliven the years as little else has so far!”

“I will say that I know she has drawn dwarves and others from the upper Wold from time to time to use in her own experiments. But she is concerned with living things, while I am a craftsman working in steel, not in flesh and wood.”

“Ha! I am even willing to suspend our game, though I long to hear news of the Wold above. Instead, ask me your questions until you are satisfied, and then we will perhaps exchange some gifts.”

Tishe’ looks at Velarin, then Emrys and the others. Barratorre, Brom, and Lanliss (and presumably Edson) seem alert and while interested in the answers, not interested in making any questions of their own. And so far, the two others who are good at speaking diplomatically don’t seem inclined to take the lead either. So Tishe’ gamely moves on. There are so many questions, (it really does seem all just a game to him. Antics? Really!) but most are really frivolous, so she forces herself to think about their immediate problems.

“That is generous of you Sieur Maegos. Yet while my friends may have others, I have no more questions for our game.”

(Sorry I didnt post last night ... I had no internet.)

Emrys had been considering a theory that he's been mulling over this whole time. With the players involved in this little contest between dimensions, having met the champion of Kalesandria (the half-orc ranger), he wonders if he resembles Maegos at all. Emrys scrutinizes Maegos to see any resemblance. He thinks that Kalesandria constructed him to look like Maegos, but in a way she would find him more favorable; more idealized in her eyes. If there is proof of this, then the same can be said about Maegos' champion, but having not seen Kalesandria, Emrys can only speculate.

V sees that Tishe' has run out of questions, but the ones she did ask reminded him of a couple things that he was curious about. V reminds himself to ask about the time elementals warning in a moment, that those who enter seldom return, and those who do are changed...undead. but first he was curious about Braella

"I, Lord Maegos would ask about your champion Braella. How did she come to serve you and why was she so quick to turn to deadly force when none was offered? It seems with only a short glimpse as if your temperament and hers are almost opposite."

Tishe’ considers who is taking the lead on the questions at this time and then replies, “That is generous of you Sieur Maegos. Yet while my friends may have others, I have no more questions for our game.”

Emrys wonders about whether the guardians resemble the other’s masters. It is a clever thought, but a moment of reflection dismisses it. Kelsandria and her guardian are half-elves. Maegos and his guardian (who you defeated) are half-orcs. There is really no resemblance.

Velarin has a clever question about Braella. “How did she come to serve you and why was she so quick to turn to deadly force when none was offered? It seems with only a short glimpse as if your temperament and hers are almost opposite.”

Maegos says, “Yes, I was just about to ask about her. She is my gatekeeper -- any who cannot get past her are not going to be powerful enough to be interesting. Thus she keeps the commoners out. She herself came here many years ago, almost dead of old age. I gave her youth and immortality in my service here.”

“And indeed, I would appreciate you returning her to me. Well, her armor. And if you do, I will thank you by granting you a wish.”

Invisible Edson rolls his eyes. No one notices.

V raises an eyebrow at Maegos offer to trade a wish for Braella's armor. Granting a wish, while something he himself could now do, was no small thing. In addition to his claims of transforming Braella, Maegos power in this realm appeared to be rather hefty, and taking him on would likely not be pretty.

V does not carry Braella's armor, and will leave that matter to Tishe' and the others to quickly discuss while he asks his final question. V is slightly torn regarding the matter as returning Braella to a hostile maegos would add another very formidable opponent to the opposition, but returning his defeated guardian to what appears to be a reasonable and neutral Maegos would likely prove beneficial.

V continues his discussion with Maegos, and believes Maegos may have already alluded to the answer to this question when he spoke of Kalesandria and her tendency to play with the living instead of metal.

"While my companions discuss the armor, I would ask another question Lord Maegos. Before we came down here, the time elemental guardian gave us a warning. That those who come down here seldom return, and those that do are changed, that they become unalive. Obviously Braella is no longer of the living Wold, but part of this realm. To what was the time elemental referring, and what are your plans and intentions for us while we are in these realms?"

Barratore had a question as well and was inclined to provide a story as well. According to V and Emrys Meagos had been gone a very long time.

"I will offer you some news and a tales of the Wold now come since you have departed it. The wards and protection upon the entrance to this place were created by a group of beings known to us as the Tuecri. Are you one of their number or are you from before or after them? The Glyphs, the lake, the obelisk and ancient passages are a great deal of protections layered to prevent anyone from getting here. But if you cannot leave or even wish to, it seems unlikely that you or her had anything to do with their construction.

As to the tale, the Fey king has awakened this age and returned to the lands of the Living Wold, an immortal power sought after by worship and adoration in exchange for divine power and magic."

Velarin asks about the time elemental warning.

Maegos says that Kellessandra has been calling mining folk from the upper realm into the Pit, and using them to make her villages of plant-folk. Sometimes she has sent them back out for information, after twisting them into something else.

Brom watches.

Tishe’ informs Maegos that they will be leaving Braella’s armor at the entrance of Maegos’s realm. She then also inquires with V about the time elementals warning.

Maegos replies that he will see the party to the exit, and then they can deliver Braella and recieve their wish.

Barratore inquires of the Tuecri from Maegos and of his relationship with them.

Maegos tells you all that once upon a time, in the second age, he and Kellesandra were partners, and together they did a service for a Tuecri, who told them about this place. The two former lovers did not make it, but they have studied it and claimed it.

Lanliss looks around. He notes that the forge is especially well equipped with many tools, some made of admantine. Oh, look, that’s a magma elemental in the forge! The display area on the other side has some amazing armor work on display.

Perhaps forever is simply too long, but he felt it a shame that it would come to such and then it pops into his head. He had one last question

"Would you want us to try and broker a reconciliation between the 2 of you?" It suddenly occurred that none of them had actually asked.

Emrys listens and watches as things progress. Many of his theories have been proven wrong. He really beginning to question his judgement. Talk of a wish has entered conversation. He considers many things. He wonders the limitations of a wish from one like Maegos.

Again, he wishes he wishes there werent so many holes in his perceptions. Much of his limitations of his unique heritage and supernatural birth has not equipped him for certain experiences that come naturally to so many people. Maegos' relationship with his partner perplexes him. While he is well-read on the subject of relationships and romantic love ... the whole concept eludes him. He's never experienced such a thing, nor has he needed to. Just one of many reasons why he wasn't supposed to exist. His short family line will die with him. There's no chance that his magical bloodline will live on ... unless he used that very magic to make it so.

Velarin considers the need to investigate Kellesandra possibly enslaving and twisting people from our world and then wonders what wish they should wish for.

Tishe’ is surprised to hear Maegos’ offer to accompany them back to the entrance. She distrusts the wish offer from Maegos.

Barratore asks, “Would you want us to try and broker a reconciliation between the two of you?”

Maegos laughs and says that he appreciates the offer. But there can be no reconciliation unless is it by acquiring her flowers. Only then would she be willing to talk without fighting. If the party would go gather those flowers, then he would be truly grateful.

Lanliss considers stealing a masterwork armor. Could he get it without offending Maegos? He decides against doing so.

Also, Lanliss considers that Maegos does seem to know a lot about what goes on in his realm ...

Edson is suspicious about the so-called wish.

Emrys is puzzled too, not knowing what to make of the situation.

Maegos tries to make some conversation. He strikes you as eager for more news. He asks about the Fae King, about the new gods of testing, and if they have heard any rumors about ... Kevintar? The new regional powers, like the Culverwood?

[OOC: Feel free to roleplay conversation with Maegos, or cut him off, or we can just elide over it and be done.]

When your conversation is done, Maegos asks if you are ready to depart, or if there is anything else he can do for you?

Tishe’ isn’t comfortable with speaking with Maegos, but everything he has said so far has matched the experiences the Spellweaver has had in the Teucri Artifact. And while she doesn’t want to give information about local geography or people in case this being can use it later, things further away in time seem safe-ish.

The woman surprises herself with what she remembers of History and Religion. “I don’t know much about Kevintar, other than he was created by Gargul as twin to Marteus in the Second Age. Marteus, well, here in the Fifth Age, Marteus leads the Gods of Testing, a pantheon of six deities that oppose Alemi and five others who are Gods of the Wold. Most of the other gods of the Second, Third, and Fourth Ages are no longer about.” She is willing to name each of the gods and their purview, including that Gargul is actually in both panthenons. “What seems to be happening since the Year of Ascension and the start of the Fifth Age is a resurgence of Immortals. Eberyon has awakened, as has the Saar from the Sargrass Plains in the Southern Continent.”

After talking, Tishe’ is ready to leave.

Barratore rubs his chin, his knowledge of history was actually quite deep. Not like Emrys or V or Tishe likely, but more than one might think. Barratore decides to elaborate on the history of the Fey King’s return from his brief earlier. He includes how the awakening has seemingly brought the Cradle closer to the Living Wold. He includes the choice the heroes of the Wold made and how the king became repented

Tishe’ shares with Maegos some information about the Fae King, and about the gods of testing.

Barratore adds to the conversation.

Velarin asks to Maegos, “One last question Maegos, should we choose to retrieve these flowers where would we be likely to find them? Will she have them with her, as you have your armor with you?" He then whispers to Tishe’ the idea of wishing that no harm come to any of the party.”

Brom muses about the conversation and remains silent, and vigilent.

Edson is still waiting too.

Maegos enjoys the conversation. He is especially interested in the Saar power, and he hints that there is more to this Kevintar business coming down the pike. “Even down here, sometimes I hear things, just you see!” he teases.

“Whelp, let me show you ‘the short cut’! Right this way.” He gestures to the forge, which parts into two places, and a HOT path can be seen. That leads to a hidden exit in the cracked plain, and after walking up some hidden stairs out of a crack, you are in the field where you fought Braella. He walks you to the door.

Maegos laughs. “You young heroes have offered me more fun than I’ve had in a month of months!” he says. “Now leave free my Braella, and I’ll grant you your wish.”

“As for those flowers, I cannot say, but from what I know of the lady, she will be proud of them, so I do not think they will be hidden. Do expect them to be heavily guarded.”

Do you return Braella’s armor? What do you wish, if anything?

As they go out he whispers to Tishe and Velarin
"I am trying to think why Maegos wants Braella's armor, but I think it is very valuable to him "
"Important enough to warrant a wish in return".
"He has many masterpieces of armor and if I could I would take some I would but it is too risky for us, for me to even try"
He comments for a last time about this armor subject.
" He seems to know too much about this place", he whispers as he goes a little bit away from the group as not to cause too much suspicion from Maegos.

Tishe’ ponders Lanliss’ comment, ‘he seems to know too much about this place’ as the Keepers and Margo’s go through his hot secret door area to get back to the entrance. The warning about Kevintar, that there is more to that business, makes her worried, but the woman is wracking her brains to see what is bothering her.

The first problem hits her. She apologizes to Maegos. “We put Braella in my Portable Hole, but can’t open it here. I’ll have to go out, remove her armor, and then bring it back.”

And then the second pattern hits her. “You have access to the Wold through the mountain!” It’s not a question, but a statement. “The dwarves had golems as well as veggy-helpers in their mines, so YOU must have called and warped the dwarves too!”

Tishe and V's conversation is far more interesting and troubling. Barratore turns to Meagos and nods his agreement, "She makes a very valid point on the dwarves and the golem artifacts they possessed without the craft to construct them."

Emrys is deep in thought as they walk. He doesn't say much. He hears a bit of conversation, and he raises an eyebrow as if to add something to the conversation, but there was too much delay from hesitation and decides to keep it to himself.

Lanliss expresses his concern to the party as to why Maegos would want the armor.

Tishe’ apologizes to Maegos. “We put Braella in my Portable Hole, but can’t open it here. I’ll have to go out, remove her armor, and then bring it back.” She continues with the statement, “The dwarves had golems as well as veggy-helpers in their mines, so YOU must have called and warped the dwarves too!”

Velarin responds, "Yes Tishe', brilliant conclusion, the Dwarves had furnace golems, and they were guarding the way down here."

Barratore answers Lanliss about why Maegos would want her armor back. He then turns to Meagos and nods his agreement, "She makes a very valid point on the dwarves and the golem artifacts they possessed without the craft to construct them."

Emrys is deep in thought as they walk. He doesn't say much.

Maegos chuckles and motions to the four golems that have follwed the party from the forge. “You got me red-handed! I make golems. Sure enough. I work in metal. I need metal. I trade golems to dwarves for metal. And I would have gotten away with it if it had not been for you clever heroes.”

He grows more serious. “Yes, I summon dwarves to negotiate with them for mining. And I give them golems for their trouble. That’s not the same as abducting them and warping them into plant things to play with. Your complaint is with Kelessandra, and the way to stop her is by getting those three flowers.”

"I'm not keeping you here. Step out, and maybe you'll come back with Braella's armor -- and you can get your wish. Maybe a nice golem?"

Tishe’ is non-plussed, and has a sudden image of a cartoonish black duck full of righteous anger confronting a very calm grey rabbit. “Um, erhm, huh”, she replies intelligently. So things and people can leave, but if you stay too long, mortals can’t because all the time may catch up to them. Makes sense.

“So why are the dwarves and humans all messed up? The Teucri Artifact is sending out waves of suspicion that seriously mess with people’s heads. How can we stop that so people can just live normal lives?”

Whatever the answer, Tishe’ is still ready to leave. She steps out, opens her Portable Hole, removes Braella’s armor, closes her hole, gathers up the pieces, and goes back through to deposit them with Margo’s.

She lets the others ask for whatever wish.

V steps out with Tishe' and the others while she retrieves Braella's slowly reforming corpse. "Anyone have any brilliant wish ideas? I would only suggest wishing that no harm come to us while in Maegos' realm. Other than that, I got nothing. Don't really care to make wishes with beings I'm not too sure of. But all in all, he doesn't seem all that bad. His biggest issue is probably being Bored and likely lonely. It's no way to spend eternity......Now that I'm digressing...it leads me to think that both of them are in the same boat. Stuck for eternity with little by way of fun, or goals, or anything tangible. If they have had numerous centuries to realize this, then it's likely that they are both looking for a way out. A way to remain immortal, but be free of the pocket dimension."

"What if the flowers and the armor are the keys? Neither can leave their realm, but if they find a way to acquire the others most valued possession, they can somehow use it to release themselves from their dimension without time catching up. Perhaps a question that the time elemental guardian may be willing to answer as it involves time."

Barratore is satisfied with the response and nothing Meagos has done or said since the group arrived at his location has given him any pause or issue.
Barratore will step out with the others, "He seems to be very much on the level with us. He is also correct on the plant things being more insidious. At least that is my take between them and the dwarves. and well we eliminated both parties in the mine. "

"to the wish, I think you are over thinking this. I was going to see if one of the active spells could be made permanent. Not sure how far his spell can go. Can anyone cast Telepathic Bond and we could then ask for that spell to be made permanent?"

Barratore steps back into the dimension to Maegos to deliver the armor and he for one, was going to ask for a wish

Tishe’ asks, “So why are the dwarves and humans all messed up? The Teucri Artifact is sending out waves of suspicion that seriously mess with people’s heads. How can we stop that so people can just live normal lives?”

Maegos cocks his helmetted head and looks at Tishe’. “You are perceptive, miss, and I suppose in this I cannot be held blameless. There are many many years of bad blood and anger between me and my ex. That negativity, amplified by the time temple, has permeated the land above. I’m sorry, I cannot think of a solution other than for the breach between us to heal. Getting me the flowers would let that process begin.”

Tishe’ then steps out, opens her Portable Hole, removes Braella’s armor, closes her hole, and gathers up the pieces.

Velarin steps out with Tishe’ and responds, "What if the flowers and the armor are the keys? Neither can leave their realm, but if they find a way to acquire the others most valued possession, they can somehow use it to release themselves from their dimension without time catching up.

Brom’s patience has been worn from these immortals. Lanliss, too is frustrated.

Edson follows the others and once out of eye sight turns back visible. "That was tense, to say the least ..."

Barratore and Tishe’ -- and perhaps others of the party? -- step back into the dimension to deliver the armor to Maegos. Barratore, for one, intends to ask for a wish

Tishe’ ponders Barratorre’s intention to ask for a wish, and considers the ideas of Velarin, Emrys, and Lanliss too. Then she come up with her own idea. “Sieur Barratorre, what if you wish for something that can help the Keepers for the future? The Dragon Consortium gets these rings that enable them to have Telepathy and Status with the group. Could we not ask for Mass permanent Telepathy for the Keepers?”

Tishe’ put out the suggestion, and waits for Barratorre or someone else to do the actual asking.

Once the armor is delivered, assuming he does not find himself under attack, Barratore addresses Meagos.
"The armor is yours once again and I have decided to accept your exchange offer of a wish. My wish is that The Keeperes of the Vale have a permanent Telepathic Bond between all of us."

Tishe asks Barratorre, “what if you wish for something that can help the Keepers for the future?” and suggest that they can get mass telepathy in other ways.

Emrys asks Maegos,”Pardon me for asking ... why would acquiring her flowers help begin the mending process?"

Maegos looks at Emrys and responds, “do they not know love in this time? Holding the flowers, I am immune to her attacks, and she would be forced to listen for the first time in aeons. Without violence as an option, maybe hearts can be mended.”

Velarin follows back in as well, and agrees with Tishe' and Barratore regarding the wish

Edson warns the party, " Just be careful, those wishes are easily corruptible... and thats something we don't need chasing us around."

Barratore shrugs in response to Tishe’ one could only watch and wonder if the telepathic bond would help them communicate better than this moment and then he addresses Maegos, "The armor is yours once again and I have decided to accept your exchange offer of a wish. My wish is that The Keepers of the Vale have a permanent Telepathic Bond between all of us."

Maegos nods thoughtfully. “Very doable. Permanent is the kicker here, but doable. You have had a long day. Go visit the sun and moons, sleep, rest, come back tomorrow, and I will fulfill your wish.”

“Take the armor with you or leave it with me, as you prefer. But do come back tomorrow for your reward. Of course, this is but a token compared to your reward for the flowers! Farewell for now.”

Hiding in my room
Safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me...

Tishe’ leaves the armor, as she promised she would. The party heads back to the mansion and time elemental to get some rest. Once out, she muses on the bards talk of roses as symbols of love and armor as symbols of those not willing to get close because of some youthful hurt.

Velarin heads back with Tishe’ and asks the time elemental, "You are the guardian here, and of time. If Maegos or Kellesandra were to leave their dimensions, would time catch up with them, and age them in accordance to the many centuries that they have been there?"

“WWWEEEELLLLLL,” the elemental slowly says, ”Ttiiimmmmmee caaatcchhheessss uuuupp toooo uuuss aaaalllllll.” Patient listening to an hour of aphorisms and vowels leaves Velarin with the idea that maybe the temple’s power of preservation is strongest deep in the pit, and then lessens here in the temple proper, and likely has no effect farther outside the entrance. The elemental seems uncertain, though.

Afterwards, Velarin asks Tishe’ "Are the roses and the armor the keys for allowing the other to leave the pocket dimensions that they are in?" That’s a mystery you perhaps can only speculate on for now.

Lanliss begins to sleep soundly after Velarin makes some nice adjustment for the keepers. He sleeps well ... dreams of traps and professors lecturing about dungeons occupy his dreaming time, oh the days of being a fool in the academy of heroes, he thinks subconsciously while dreaming.

The remainder of the party remains quiet as they rest.

In the morning, after you prepare your spells and rituals and the usuals, you return to the pit and enter the realm of Maegos. The lord of the realm himself is nowhere to be seen. A golem seems to have orders for you however. It accepts the armor, if you hand it over, and it hands you a box. Inside is a handwritten note (in an old style of common script), as well as a magic item for each of you. Each one looks remarkably like a common nail, though of a metal you do not recognize, with barbs to ensure it is not easy to pull out once hammered.

My dear new friends, pleafe accept thefe unique new items in fulfillment of your wifh. And do analyze them to enfure your fatiffaction. The ufe of thefe is fimple: Like an iron nail, drive one into each of your fkulls. Thefe permanent magical items will not interfere with any other item you may wifh to ufe. And unlike a Permanancy Fpell, these cannot be difpelled. Fear not! No harm will come to you in the ufe of them, but they will be permanent, per your wifh, so there is no removing them once placed. Enjoy your rewards with my beft wifhes.

Barratore takes full advantage of the magical accomodations, bath, food, drink and a comfortable bed. Yes, magic was indeed fabulous.

Returning to the realm and finding the means of fulfilling the wish, the fighter is unsure at best. Metascar never expressly said, 'don't pound nails into your head', but Barratore was pretty sure that was implied during the 'don't do anything stupid' training from his youth

The fighter looks to Tishe, V and Emrys on this one. "If you think this is on the level by practice or spell confirmation, I'll be the first."

Tishe’ smiles wryly. “And this is a twist, for which I was looking.” No, she is definitely NOT going to drive a nail into her head! At least, she speculated, not without further research and consideration... No! That’s insane, and ... “no telling what other spells may be part of this nail even if it works as promised. Margo’s is an artificer, and the possibility that we become his automaton, or the nail is a Golem itself... no, the risk is too great. And I don’t think Kalesandria would be easier to deal with if we are wearing tokens of Margo’s.”

“Let’s keep them in the box, and perhaps offer to Kalesandria as a gift?”

V smiles an awkward smile as the note is read and a quote from his mentor rolls through his mind. "There is no such thing as a free lunch."

"We should definitely hang onto them, but not even consider to use them now. Once we have some time for me to research and prepare, I believe I can create a telepathic bond amongst all or most of us that is permanent. I can guarantee that whatever I come up with will not require the pounding of nails into skulls. I wonder if the catacombs would buy them? if they have value, then they may be worth something to us."

"For know, shall we go have a chat with the Lady Kellasandra? our greeting will likely be the same as when we were met by Braella."

Emrys' eyes widen at the realization of driving a spike into his head. "I see, we are to become a party of blockheads," he says jokingly? "I've employed such magic like this on many occasion, where I must strike a mortal wound to my body ... like slitting my throat or wrists, spilling my blood and so forth. I did yesterday when performing that bit of necromancy to give everyone Wind Walk."

Emrys makes sure he has everyone's attention, "Hear what I say." He remembers that Maegos revealed in conversation that his scrying on the party was only visual, that he couldn't hear what was being said, but he didn't want to take that chance. The golem himself could be providing him his ears. Emrys tries to non-verbally convey that Maegos' could be listening to them right now (Bluff: 15 to Convey Secret Message to the group).

"This is surely a gracious gift by Maegos. Such powerful wonders shouldn't be taken lightly. We should wait until a time we can properly nail them in. I'm afraid I don't have a proper hammer." He hopes his gestures, expressions, eye movements and tone isn't lost on his friends.

Quiet Brom waits to see what the rest of the party will do.

Barratore has reservations -- can a caster use a spell to see what if these “nails” are on the up and up? -- but the taur bravely declares that he will be the first to test it out.

But there seems no chance that the items will be “donned” immediately. Tishe’ says, “The risk is too great.” Velarin will not even consider that one of his friends should use one.

Diplomatic Emrys and cynical Edson are also skeptical.

Forward-thinking Lanliss is already pondering the party’s next move. Tishe too is ready to go forward, or rather, back, to Kelsandria’s realm.

The magical nails are stowed away, and the party turns to the door to the garden realm. Within, over the sill, you see Kelsandria’s realm again: It is a land populated with peaceful plants and fungi in an eternal state of different seasons. All is in eternal youth and health. This eternal garden is a vast open space of rolling hills and forests. The endless sky has sun, moon, clouds and stars.

Before you stands the half elf champion of Kelsandria -- Axendur. He is a lone figure standing in amidst the flowers about 100 feet away from you, clad in green armor decorated in leaves and vines. Axendur calls out, “Ah, at last! And this time I am *sure* you have brought Maegos’s armor!”

Tishe’ casts Featherfall for the team in the morning, along with Extended Daylight, Extended Fly, and Endure Elements for herself. This ready, it is down the dark hole, listen to the illusions, and step through to Kalesandria’s realm.

Once through and spoken to by Axendur, the Spellweaver looks about: Braella had golem helpers, and her mind is certain some of the vegetation is not as peaceful as it seems. “No”, replies the woman, “we spoke with Maegos and left him where he was in his armor, and now we have come to speak with Kalesandria.”

She waits for the attack.

V casts an extended fly upon himself, telling Tishe' to save the featherfall for the others. He then positions most of his magical necessities outside of his extradimensional spaces so he will have access to them. He holds his extend rod in hand as they approach Axendur, planning on casting an extended haste once attacked.

V says nothing as Tishe' states the facts of the matter, and the group waits to see the reaction of Axendur

" Thanks Tishe" Edson says after receiving the feather fall spell.
Heading into the other realm, the surrounding area doesn't let him drop his guard. Sure the other realm wasnt hospitable, but this place reaked of an ambush.
Edson steps off to the side from the group, bends down and scoops up a flower. He twiddles it between his fingers waiting for the attack.

Emrys gladly excepts Tishe's Feather Fall, unless she needs to spend an extra slot to do so. "I have a ring of feather fall, but Daemon would benefit from your help."

As they make their way down, he wonders if the ranger will act in the same sudden, unexpectedly violent matter, like Maegos' champion. He tries to look as relaxed and pleasant as the ranger's greeting. However he is prepared to act the very second things turn sideways. He expects it to come from all directions, knowing the plants around them will probably join the fight. He looks around to survey what varieties of hostile vegetation are present ... they're not always obvious.

Barratore prepares carefully for the day and is armed and ready for the nature-oriented realm.

Brom mentally prepares for battle after a long deserved bath. He sees that not all the plant life aroundabouts is simply plant life. Some of it is more ... move-ish.

Tishe’ calmly asks to see the warrior’s mistress. She predicts the answer will not be as calm.

Lanliss supports Tishe’s diplomacy.

Velarin waits to see what happens.

Edson picks a flower. Funny, do plants usually flinch when plucked?

Like Brom, keen-sighted Emrys notes that some of the plants nearby are not as sessile as plants normally are.

Axendur frowns. He quickdraws a scimitar and a hand ax. He twirls them and swings them in a more proficient and intimidating fashion! This is a Dazzling Display indeed! His Intimidate check is a 50. The DC is 10 +17 (your hit dice) +5 (your average wisdom modifier) is say 32. What the heck, round up to 35 because I am a very nice DM. Everybody is shaken for the next four rounds. That means a -2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

He shouts, “GET OUT! GET OUT NOW!”

Emrys shrinks a little from the intimidating posturing of the ranger. It took every once of mettle not to turn and run. He turns to Edson and holds out his hand in an attempt to calm him. "Edson, lets just leave. There is no need to escalate tensions."

As he backs away for the door, Emrys tries his best not to stutter and calls out to the Ranger in the most soothing tone he can muster.

"There is no greater torment than Love. No amount of time or vengeance will cure it. I think you know that ... judging by your reaction." (Diplomacy: 36-2 = 34)

Tishe’ is shaken, that was impressive! And with Barratorre, Edson, and Lanliss all leaving, there really is nothing to do but leave as well. And she does so.

Once in the darkness with only her Daylight and the illusions giving the barest grayness, she tries to talk to the other Keepers. “It’s not just the guardians and the two quarreling wizards”, she says, “but remember what we have learned from Maegos? They send emissaries into the mines, and their feelings is suspicion poison the people around here. The villagers aren’t surly and suspicious by nature, they are enchanted to be that way. We can help! That’s why I started adventuring in the first place, to help with problems the common folk can’t handle themselves. This is one of those problems. Let’s help.”

Tishe’ isn’t sure she will be able to convince any of the other Keepers, but she had to say it and wait for their reaction.

Like the others, V was taken aback by the impressive display of swordsmanship. V prepares to cast a spell when Barratore says the forget it and walks out. V turns and follows him, planning on leaving the room with all of the party. "Come Tishe', let us all discuss this outside. here and now is not the place."

"Once outside, V will start the discussion. "I agree with Barratore on this one Tishe'. These two powers in their own little eternal realms should be sealed forever. Fighting against Ranger boy, and then having a chat with the lady of the land probably won't get us any further than it did with Maegos. And, even if we did decide to do something, whatever action we take down here may cause unexpected calamity above. The safest course of action for the Wold is to make sure nothing changes with the two of them."

"Instead of expending resources in a fight that could cost someone their life, let us expend our energy doing something to help those above. We have the resources and the power to relocate every person up there to a place that they would be happy with. It might take some delicate negotiating with the villages, but we should certainly be capable of that."

"We then collapse the whole damn cavern complex in upon itself, and leave them buried for eternity. Even if somehow they get their message of calling to someone up top, if we bury it deep enough, it would take a lot of Dwarves a lot of years to unearth. And for safe measure, we destroy the Obelisk key as well."

Tishe’ shakily admits there is danger plenty, too much so if all they want to do is talk. Why, some of them nearly died, and with Emrys DID die every step of the way! And... “Relocating and caving is a good idea, but there are some problems to that. First, the people don’t want to move: we tried that already. Second, while I know we have the power to do the caving, not really a problem, the ‘lovers’ can send minions out to tunnel out again, so problem number two. The third problem is the obelisk is a Teucri artifact, and has survived more than one Cataclysm: I doubt we could even scratch it.”

“Forcing the villagers isn’t a problem, just like restraining someone charmed or cursed. I just want to think the whole problem through before beginning. Where do we force them? We need to find a place for them first that is safe, welcoming, and won’t be overcrowded.”

V frowns momentarily at Barratore's plan. "As I am generally a huge fan of the scorch and burn method of action, We should still let them begin the hostilities. We have nothing to go on regarding this realm and it's master other than a few hostile plant creatures above, and the word of Maegos, which I do not trust. I have little doubt that they are both playing a game amongst themselves, and harming the people above with it, but as we proceed, evaluate the situation as it presents itself. That being said...Let's have some fun storming the castle."

"Fortunately, I am a fan of making a poop ton of scrolls. Most are for blowing things up, but I do have a few others. V first corrals everyone into a tight circle, with Barratore at the center and casts a scroll of magic circle Vs. evil. "There, everyone has protection from evil. It will help resistance and mind control from evil things. I have 2 stoneskins left on scrolls for later if we need them, or we start really getting tore up, I'll use them. For now, I have two memorized for the big fellas."

V then casts Stone skin on Brom and Barratore (17th level). "Hopefully his blades aren't adamantine"

"I got 2 fly spells left. Who wants them?"

"That's the prep I got. Anyone want to throw a few things as I do, go ahead. I'm throwing an extended haste right before we go in."

Once V casts the two fly spells he follows that up with an extended haste upon the group, but the haste will be the last thing cast before they walk through the door.

The ranger didn't react at all to his words of love and torment ... especially set within an timeless eternity. He thought that he would have been especially moved by that ... judging his devotion and care he shows to his mistress. He didn't even blink. Emrys just doesn't this whole romantic love thing ... he's glad to be spared from it.

Upon talk of preparation, he adds, "Would any of you have a collection of diamonds, worth a 1000g or more each? If so, I could place a ward on 4 of you that would protect you from spells (Protection from Spells, +8 bonus on all saves vs spells and spell-like abilities). Would we be so fortunate to have such gem stones?"

"Why don't we talk about it over lunch?" Upon uttering the words, a magnificent feast appears before the party. A great dining table filled with Woldly Delights.

(Casting Heroes' Feast for the group. Everyone gains +16 temporary hitpoints. +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and will saves. +4 morale bonus on saves against poison for 12 hours.)

"Every little bit should help ... I'm certain there are many poisonous things skulking about in there."

Barratore nods to the others, He knew for the most part this was not their thing. He and Brom were practically born to it, the others not so much. He looks at V, "I have no intention of letting him or anyone in there make the first move. We need a plan of attack and I have one, attack."

The feast is done and V casts several spells of protection. Barratore lets Emrys know that he does not have that type of gemstone count on him. Money-wise, Barratore carries only a little more than 100 in silver and gold.

Barratore prepares at the gate, drinking a Toros Philter of Mirror Image and activating Freedom of Movement from his spell storing ring.

Rising into the air 5', Barratore heads in when the others are set

Tishe’ nods to Barratore’s ‘storming the castle.’ She nods, she’s ready.

Edson agrees and says, "Let do it. "

Lanliss makes a fast gesture to Edson in thieves cant, which looked like he his rising an imaginary hat while jumping momentarily with no reason. He knew Edson might have a momentary second or two to understand this.

Velarin suggests that if they are to ‘storm the castle,’ they should let them initiate the hostilities. He then suggests that he will make some scrolls and casts magic circle vs evil.
V then casts Stone skin on Brom and Barratore (17th level). "Hopefully his blades aren't adamantine" "I got 2 fly spells left. Who wants them?" Once V casts the two fly spells he follows that up with an extended haste upon the group.

Emrys offers his friends the benefit of a Heroes’ Feast.

Just before the assault, Velarin casts Stoneskin on Brom and Barratore (17th level). "Hopefully his blades aren't adamantine" "I got 2 fly spells left. Who wants them?" Once V casts the two fly spells he follows that up with an extended haste upon the group.

Barratore nods to the others, He knew for the most part this was not their thing. He and Brom were practically born to it, the others not so much.

Barratore prepares at the gate, drinking a Toros Philter of Mirror Image and activating Freedom of Movement from his spell storing ring. Rising into the air 5', Barratore heads in with the rest of the party.

The party takes a round of action to enter the garden and pass through the entrance veil.

Axendur is standing 50 ft from the door. He uses a full round action to perform his Dazzling Display! His Intimidate check is 41. That means everyone is shaken for the next two rounds. That means a -2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Tishe’ sadly shakes her head. “Axendur must be like Braella, a Door Guardian. No one without Maegos’ armor will pass without slaying him. All talk will do is give him the first attack. We go in and it is a battle.”

Luncheon and preparatory spells complete, the Keepers once more enter the breech. Tishe’ is shaken, it resolute. She rises 15’ in the air, and targets Axendur with a Greater Dispel Magic, attempting to strip up to four spells on the Guardian!

Once again the skill at which Axendur displays his prowess is mighty. Barratore wonders if any of them will survive this, but he leads the charge nonetheless.

Barratore activates his Haste and charges flying slightly up as he approaches to end up 10' above the human. Out of Axendur's reach but well within his own.

(Who took a fly spell besides Barratore? Emrys choose the recipients of the protection from spells please)

Pre battle responses and actions:
V reaches into his backpack and pulls out one of his diamonds used for limited wish. He tosses it to Emry's. "I use these for limited wish spells, but I have three more. It's worth 1500, and we can replace it after we get back. Put your spell on whomever you wish."

V then nods at Barratore's statement of intent. "So be it."

Battle has begun:
V moves in as well, and rises 20' into the air, and starts scanning the area for the Rangers backup.(perception check 23). V feels relatively confident that with all the prep spells, the fighters should be able to deal with the Ranger. He was concerned about where the Rangers helpers were. The Golems of Maegos were out in the open, but nature liked to camouflage it's threats, not parade them around. (should V observe a threat before it gets to the party, he will drop an empowered fireball on the threats or use a wall of force to prevent them from engaging the group, whichever is more appropriate to the situation.)

(Pre-battle:

During lunch, Emrys accepts the diamond from V and says, "You can have them all back afterwards, they're not consumed by the spell, they're the focus!" And he will ask for the other three if V doesn't mind loaning them for a short time. (Let me know how many more, you'll allow me to take.)

(Emrys casts Protection from Spells and infuses each diamond with the magical ward. +8 resistance bonus to all spells and spell-like abilities. Duration: 170 minutes. Depending on how many diamonds (1 to 4) V allows him to have, he will hand each diamond in this order: Lanliss, Edson, Brom and Barratore. just before heading in.)

Once through the door, Emrys tests a theory about the inhabitants of these realms. The time elemental eluded to it, and what he witnessed of Maegos and his champion, he wonders if the same applies here.

(Emrys casts Control Undead on the Ranger. Will save: 31. Duration: 17 minutes. Can effect up to 34HD of undead.)

Emrys gives the Champion a request, "Please surrender and submit peacefully! I don't wish to harm you."

Tishe’ casts her dispel, possibly removing buffs? Hard to say for sure.

Hasted Barratore flies above Axendur, attacks, and crits! But Axendur is wearing fortification armor! Does that negate the crit? The d100 roll is an 11, so there is no crit. Axendur still takes 62 damage. Barratore, please do not forget the DC15 fly check to hover!

Edson moves up, swings, and misses.

Lanliss takes a moment to look around carefully. He sees that the vines on the ground next to Axendur are actually two plant creatures! The terrain is otherwise clear for 100 ft or more aroundabouts, aside from the ground cover, basically grass and leafy plants.

Velarin readies an action to fireball or wall-of-force Axendur’s friends, but by the time Lanliss sees them, Edson and Barratore are in melee range, so Velarin holds off with the spells.

Emrys casts Control Undead on Axendur. It has no effect.

Brom charges. Unlike Edson, Brom does not try to dodge attacks of opportunity as he moves. Both vine plants launch viney attacks on him as he advances. Both miss. Brom attacks Axendur and inflicts 64 damage.

Axendur regenerates 2 hp. He already has both weapons drawn, axe and scimitar. He tries to trip Brom and fails. He tries to trip Edson and succeeds. Edson falls and is prone!

Axendur uses his remaining full attack on the prone Edson. He swings twice more with his scimitar and once more with his ax.

The first scimitar swing hits AC42 and is a crit threat. It confirms vs AC43, so that’s a critical. The damage is 17+19, plus 11 cold damage.

The second scimitar swing hits AC45, also a crit threat, confirmed vs AC37, so that’s confirmed too. Damage is 18+16, plus 12 cold damage.

The last attack is with the hand ax. It hits AC34, a hit but not a crit. Damage is 13 plus ten cold damage.

Total affect on Edson: Prone plus weapon damage of 36+34+13=83 plus 36 cold damage. TOTAL: 119 damage

Axendur’s two vine pals use their long tendrils to attack Barratore. That’s three misses and two consecutive natural 20s for a confirmed crit. Damage to Barratore is 13 damage plus a grapple check (fails due to free action) and a DC18 will save (vs domination poison) please as its sap enters Barratore’s bloodstream.

VERBAL MAP: Axendur is at the center of the fight. Flanking him are two vine plants to the north and south. Also flanking to the east and west are Edson (prone) and Brom. Barratorre is hovering overhead. Lanliss is 30 ft from Axendur
to the west. Velarin, Tishe’, and Emrys are 40 ft away to the west (near the door).

Tishe’ flies higher and closer, hovering for a good view. Edson looks staggered, and so the Spellweaver casts Ice Wall, a north-south Line to separate Edson and Axendur.

(Pre battle: VB handed Emrys 3 of the diamonds, hanging onto the fourth for the limited wish spell that he memorized)

If Tishe's ice wall failed in separating Edson from the other combatants, V will use a wall of force 30' high and almost 60' long to accomplish the separation.

I can correct later. Does the 13 damage take the DR 10/Adamantine into account and did the hit take the Mirror Image into account?

The Poison enters the Fighters system and incredibly starts to overcome his senses. Barratore refuses to let Warrd have the last laugh here and Heroically overcomes the poison. Knowing his flying skills are questionable at best, Barratore lands 10' from Axendur on the South west point.
At the beginning of the next turn, you can move in a different direction than you did the previous turn without making a check.

Lanliss moves more closely and shouts to the party "Should I open the door ?",
He stops left to the critter and Axendur.
A split look at the door, A thought crosses his mind, but the door is too far.
The last thing he wants is to draw attention to the lesser strong keepers.
He moves even more close to Axendur, trying to find a more easy spot for him to have an advantage.
"Fight that is", Lanliss thinks.

Making a stop close to Axdendur and old idea from the academy comes to his mind.
It was a stupid idea, improbable one, but could he do it?
If he can take Axdendur attention, the keepers would be able to land a more precise strike against their enemies.

Lanliss then shouts as a way to divert attention to him and shouts in a tone that even he doesn't know or recognize

"Barratore !, Keeep him busy"
"I am going to drink the potion that Maegos gave us"
Lanliss then looks at Axdendur and takes a flask, the flask of oil to bless the weapon" and makes a motion of drinking and drinks it.

Tishe’ flies higher and closer, hovering for a good view and then casts Ice Wall, a north-south Line to separate Edson and Axendur. That works fine. Then she starts in on the south-plant-creature, casting Quickened Scorching Ray and hitting for 37 fire damage.

Velarin casts Chain Lighting on Axendur and then on his plant minions. The bolts blast home! 59 to Axendur, 29 to each plant. Axendur is down!

Barratore, deprived of his main foe, attacks a plant and inflicts 66 damage!

"Hooks and crooks!" Emrys begins to weave a bit of witchy hackery to deliver a touch a Edson from a distance. His nails, hands and arms extend slightly in a wickedly macabre sort of way. (Emrys casts Heal on Edson, with the Reach Spell metamagic feat. Heals 150pts of hitpoints. Cures a long list of conditions. Range: Close 60ft.)

Now healed, Edson activates his invisibility from his ring. Using a move action he tries to get up while invisible, and takes a 5' step. (Acrobatics 50 to negate aoo -- which is good, because the plants have tremorsense and could have taken AoOs. Usually if you are invisible, you do not provoke AoOs.)

Lanliss distracts the enemy with a bluff and a pretense of using a special potion. He moves a step closer. (OOC: can’t do all that AND move up to flank AND use total defense. NEXT round you can move to flank and use total defense)

Brom pauses, amazed at these events!

Vine 1 flails at Barratore, needing nat 20s, and missing four times.

Lanliss’s ploy succeeds, so Vine 2 flails at him, hitting Lanliss once, trying to grapple, and failing in that. Lanliss takes 8 damage and a DC18 will save (vs domination poison) as its sap enters his bloodstream.

Tishe’ heaves a sigh and smiles, “better prepared and less problem. Now remember, Maegos was able to watch us even when we couldn’t use our own divinations, so we must assume She can too. I wonder how close their two defenses look like the same thread?”

She looks about surveying the area for other foes, watchers or paths.

(OOC: I believe Emry's put protection from spells on Lanliss, Edson, and Brom. Don't forget to include that +8 in your saves)

"Yes Tishe' we are much more impressive when prepared, and definitely need to assume that Kellesandra now knows that too. Hence the reason we should keep moving as best we can. The quicker we find our destination, the more of our spells will be active."

"Good job not dying Edson. I don't want to see Gargul again."

"And fellas" looking toward Brom and Barratore "Most of my stuff is area of effect, so if you can just give me a few seconds to annihilate their general area before you charge, I can do a much better job of softening them up."

"We ready to roll?"

" I am good to go, staying invisible."

"Then we should Windwalk the rest of the way and avoid the dangers on the ground. Or ... we can all take the form of a native animal, preferably a bird, and blend in with the forest. However, Animal Shapes magic does not persist after you change back. Once you assume your natural form, it's done."

Emrys prepares to provide whatever the group chooses ... wind or wild ... both have their own advantages.

(Emrys will cast what the group chooses. If Windwalk, then he will also cast Surrender Blood to empower it. If they want Aniimal Shapes, he will simply cast it, he can give the entire party the same Beast Shape III form.)

Barratore deactivates his Haste and sheathes his weapon after Brom tears through the plant creatures. "A reasonable assumption Tishe. And V" Barratore grins his toothy mintoaur grin, "Surely a bright wizard such as yourself has ways around us headstrong fighters."

"No animal forms, I do not think it would fool the mistress and her directed guard of the realm at any rate. I'd prefer to remain with Flight and not have to worry about forming and reforming if things get hostile"

Barratore is ready to use the Fly spell from V to get up about 20' and go from there

Tishe’ thinks about how Maegos was able to watch us even when we couldn’t use our own divinations, so we must assume She can too. I wonder how close their two defenses look like the same thread?”

Velarin agrees with Tishe’ on being prepared and congratulates Edson on not seeing Gargul again." He makes suggestion of strategy to Brom and Barratore and then says, "We ready to roll?"

Edson nods to Velarin. " I tried to help, but it was the timely healing the prevented another date with Gargul." He walks around the wall with the others, keeping the invisibility up. "I am good to go, staying invisible."

"Then we should Windwalk the rest of the way and avoid the dangers on the ground. Or ... we can all take the form of a native animal, preferably a bird, and blend in with the forest. However, Animal Shapes magic does not persist after you change back. Once you assume your natural form, it's done."

Emrys presents two choices to assist the party with the dangers ahead. He then prepares to provide whatever the group chooses ... wind or wild ... both have their own advantages.

There are pros and cons with all choices, as Barratore points out ... the Animal Shapes are not likely to hide the party, especially seeing as there are NO animals in this realm so far, only plants ... Wind Walk has the five round transition period fore and aft, which poses its own challenges. Maybe just flying or walking?

Maybe more info will help you make this decision. In the distance, say a quarter mile off, you see what may be a village on a muddy plain.

Plus, it is in a sealed glass box that seems affixed to its pedastal. He’s have to open or break the box first. On reflection, he decides to leave well ehough alone, for now.

Alas, your DMs missed responding to that, sorry! Here is a full accounting (since we DMs dropped the ball, we'll just enumerate it fully, no identification checks needed): feather token (tree) x3, Amulet Nat Armor +3, +1 light fortification breastplate (special), +1 human-bane scimitar, +4 str longbow, masterwork handaxe, belt of physical might +2 (Str, Dex), cloak of resistance +3, charisma headband +2.

BTW, Tishe' did discover that there were odd plant-like aspects to the fellow ... but not your traditional green growing plants. More like fungi maybe? Or something only half alive? Very odd.

And since your DMs are making amends, do let's award some XP. The last award was June 4, if you are keeping track at home. For your heroism since then, please accept another 175,000 xp. Thanks!

"A crystal rose in the center of the village. Very interesting. They probably aren't just going to give it to us. The question now is...do we go down and take it? Do we go down and try and communicate with the plant folk who seem to be living their lives much like a village of humans at home. More worried about remaining fed, tending their offspring, and not dying than anything else. I could probably wipe out most of the village from up here in short order, but without even speaking with them, or knowing anything about them it seems the wrong thing to do."

"The fungus inhabitants do appear friendly ... much like the elemental neighbors in Maegos' realm. The molten elementals did harm us unintentionally, but they were merely playing, not knowing any better. I would bet these plant creatures are ignorant of our mortality."

He prepares to fly on with the group as they assess the situation. However he can't help but be tantalized by what sorts of potions he could brew with these special and rare 'ingredients' walking about.

Velarin discusses with the group their options on taking the rose and whether or not they should attempt to talk with the plant folk. She then asks, "Thoughts or ideas?"

Barratore responds, "We could also fly on and take a look at the other stuff you said you saw ahead V. The main goal here is to find the wizard woman isn't it? If we talk with her and either come to some sort of agreement, or end her, we can pick up the roses after. I'd be betting the next village ahead that you saw has a rose also."

Tishe’ ponders. “We shouldn’t get lured in, but also not assume Kalesandria will be identical to Maegos. The Flower seems too easy, so it probably is. I agree to look around some more, but be prepared to come back here.”

Emrys suspects that the plant villagers are friendly and harmless. Large vines, huge pods, whatever ... we’re all people, right?

Lanliss agrees to bypass this place, for now. There may be more under the surface, but there is even more ahead!

Edson is still keep on sneaking in and stealing the Crystal Rose. Your DMs approve of clever solutions, but they note that there is no lid or lock or obvious ways to open the clear box the flower is in.

The DMs also note that more of the odd plant-farmers are waving friendly greetings, and several have moved over to the crystal rose and set themselves next to it.

But your DMs take the consensus, or at least plurality, of the party’s intent and offer some more information about the area beyond the split-village. You note a large orchard in the far distance. Some trees seem familiar, others less so. Investigate the village, or fly over/around to the orchard?

Velarin responds, "Ok, so we move on then for now, keeping this place in mind. If they are friendly, they could be a valuable source of information at some future point. Shall we check out the orchard from a relatively safe distance?"

Edson suggests grabbing it on the way back if needed. Edson adds, "I am staying invisible, and like Barratore said, I can go in and check again first.

Lanliss agrees they should head to the orchard.

The orchard is quite large, and the trees are not all in rows. Consequently, you cannot see right to the center. From above the greenery and open patches show no particular pattern. Hanging from some of the trees are ripe and attractive fruits. Some you recognize as pears and apples and oranges. Others you do not -- smooth, blue fruit; red-veined yellow fruit; large green fruit covered in soft spikes. They all look SO delicious.

V stops and hovers, trying to get a better look into the heart of orchard.(perception 34)

"This is so looking like a trap. Come down into the innocent grove of trees and let yourselves be surrounded before we start attacking you. If we knew for sure, we could start exploding it up from up here, but we can't waste a ton of resources starting a forest fire if we aren't exactly sure. Ideas besides letting Edson go take a look? If he gets caught alone in there, it would likely get ugly fast"

Lanliss starts to go near the trees and fruits looking for anything suspicious.
He sniffs around with his nose and tries to look for something more sinister or in a way something that might look more unnatural that might indicate a trap as in something that will either lure you to something or make you forgot to look around.
While looking for this he remembers some of the rules of Stagjkin, the professor of Traps 101.

The first rule was and still is that, a successful trap will always be unexpected one.
Therefore it will always be hidden in some way.
You might not see it, smell it, or feel it but it can still be there.
The second rule was that sometimes the trap sort of... Persuades you to trigger it, as a treasure chest or mysterious door that just make you want to open it.... or in this case as a seductive fruit.

Lanliss shakes his thoughts away and continues to keep all his senses sharp as some of the things might not be as good as they seem.

Velarin stops and hovers, trying to get a better look into the heart of orchard. He expresses his concerns of a trap. He asks the party to consider ideas that don’t involve Edson getting caught in there alone.

Barratore responds, "Can't think of a better way to check it out at the moment. Anyone have a way to give Edson a quick exit? If you do go in Edson, you probably want to make sure not to touch or disturb anything. If that Orchard is alive, they would know you were there."

Lanliss starts to go near the trees and fruits looking for anything suspicious. He thinks about some of the rules of Stagjkin, the professor of Traps 101, and thinks there may be something here that is more than meets the eyes.

Lanliss discovers that some of these fruits are truly remarkable. Some glow faintly. Others thrum with power. If you make a Knowledge Arcana DC23: Highlight to display spoiler: {Some of these fruits are magical, and eating them will bestow some magical power to the eater!}

Edson makes a joke that involves mushrooms. After a discussion takes place of Edson’s safety, and once ready the invisible Edson heads into the grove. He keeps his hands to himself, and makes sure not to disturb anything.

As Edson slowly makes his way through the orchard, he sees in the center of the orchard, a green woman who wears something around her neck (perception check 35) Highlight to display spoiler: {a green-tinged crystal rose.} She does not seem to have noticed him!

Lanliss tries to remember old lessons from the academy.
Some old lessons about magic and nature.
He overslept most of the time, the rest of the time he tried to understand what the various professors tried to teach the class.
Pictures of nature and some strange colors come to his mind, "yes", he tells himself as he remembers some very old dreams.

He tries to say some random words that he remembers from the lessons.
He begins to recite some of them.
Some sound funny, some sound....as if the words themselves got out of the Necromancy Manual for Beginners.
He tries to make some movements towards the fruits.
Hoping maybe to do something positive, reveal some dangerous trap.

He scans around her for any potential ambushes or traps and doesn’t find any. He turns and heads back to the others -- once close he discloses about the woman with the flower.

Lanliss thinks about an old lesson about magic and nature and attempts to do something. He’s not quite sure what he’s doing, but he’s really going for it. Acting on instinct, he pulls out a magic dagger and a flask of acid, and starts juggling both along with a glowing pulsing blue fruit, He carefully takes a taste of the fruit as it passes, trying his best not to accidently bite the dagger or the acid. He successfully “activates” the fruit, and feels magic coursing through his body ... Lanliss’s skin turns blue and he feels more nimble (+5 on Acrobatics checks).

Brom watches along side Barratore, turn to maintain his altitude. He drifts down with Tishe, the spellcasters have a knack for being in the wrong place when dragon dung his the fan. While he does he switches back to his sword for a quick descent.

Watching Lanliss take a bite of the forbidden fruit, Brom rolls his eyes.

Tishe’ snorts and mumbles under her breath “honey and flies” and “I can use that gift like a nail in the head”. She believes that the garden holds hidden dangers, and that the direct approach (her approach) may not be best suited in this circumstance. And so, the inquisitive but mature Spellweaver keeps her trap shut and looks to Velarin and Emrys to explain the visit.

Velarian folds his hands together and gives a short bow, The wizard has decided to take a different approach. "We are here from the lands beyond your domain and that of your former love Meagos and we are here on matters of ours and the Living Wold. Yours and his intrusions into our world is no longer to be available and we are here to secure a treaty or otherwise safe guard our realms." Velarian decides to not answer about Axendur, as he saw no good outcome from engaging her about him

Brom watches along side Barratore, turn to maintain his altitude. He drifts down with Tishe, the spellcasters to protect her if needed. While he does he switches back to his sword. Watching Lanliss take a bite of the forbidden fruit, Brom rolls his eyes.

Tishe’ considers the dangers that may be hidden in the garden. And so, the inquisitive but mature Spellweaver keeps her trap shut and looks to Velarin and Emrys to explain the visit.

Like Tishe’ and Brom, Lanliss, Edson, and Barratore are silent and let others step forward to speak with the green lady.

Velarin steps forward to declare that no further incursions will be allowed into the Wold Above, and that the group is here to negotiate.

The green lady’s eyes flash and she replies sharply, “And how did Maegos reply when you told him he would no longer be able to mine the earth above for his precious metals?”

Emrys doesn't fully understand the hostility between these two. You'd think in this place outside of time, it would be in their better interests to get along. Eternity is a long time to be in a quarrel. However, now doesn't seem to be the proper time to ask personal questions. Tempers are flared and need to be defused.

"Madam, then please enlighten us to what will make you happy. After talking with Maegos, the situation you two find yourselves in is most unique. You have an eternity ahead of you. That's a long time to be hostile toward one another. He didn't state it outright, but I sensed an aura of regret."

Barratore inhales to provide a retort and end this, but Emrys speaks first and the minotaur simply exhales with a loud snort. This is precisely what he did not want to do. The group had no other option. These 2 beings could reach out beyond their dimensional worlds and pull in innocents of the Wold. corrupt them, turn them into slaves and worse and here she is saying that she plans to continue to do so.

Barratore thought it was time to begin aggressive negotiations. The others had already made their points about sealing the mines. These beings have been doing this since the great Cataclysm. Mundane and magical forces the Keepers could bring to bear simply don't compare to that.

Barratore had the same questions, he expected the same answers and he expected the same no win situation to play out. If so, he had decided to force everyone's hand. For now, he would let Emrys continue the charade on any other solution

Velarian inwardly sighs. They were like children, toddlers and if she answers Meagos' armor, the wizard truly believes his head might physically explode. But, Emrys had a way with words certainly and should have been leading all of these discussions. Diplomacy is a practice the wizard should have to look into, he decides, but for now.

Brom seems eager for the fight ... and his satisfactions is indeed mere moments away. [OOC: For a true readied action, please reroll your attacks -- see Tishe''s and Barratore's posts above.]

The lady of plants does indeed mention that she seeks the armor of her former lover, and Velarin’s head explodes.

“If you will not get the Maegos Armor, then you are no good to me.” The green woman attacks.

First she tries to cast a quickened barkskin. She is caster level 20, so you need a 31 to succeed ... Tishe does! The quickened spell fails.

She then walks up to Velarin and attacks! Barratore’s readied attack of 41 misses against her AC44. She punches Velarin, hitting AC51: Velarin takes 17 damage AND dispels Velarin’s Haste spell!

And the Map. Please let me know where you want to be positioned! The green circles are tree trunks in the orchard. The Gr is the Green Lady!

As V's head splodes, so does his jaw as the woman walks over and attempts to break his jaw. The Wizard steps back 5' and uses the quicken rod in his hand to quicken a mirror image spell, and create 6 more of him.

Emrys is both surprised and dumbstruck at her reaction. He said nice things and a nice way. He expressed things he thought she would want to hear: regret, remorse of past deeds from a jilted lover. What would YOU like?! Augh! ... he's sickened by all this sappy, sentimental dribble. It's brought his bile to a boil! The words left a bad taste in his mouth as he spoke them. He has bent over backwards trying to understand this pair. All his effort has given him is nothing but confusion and frustration. Emrys has had enough ... he doesn't care anymore. The gloves are off. Shadows creep across the land as the sunshine of good intentions becomes shrouded by dark, storm clouds. Emrys fears no evil ... it's merely the breath of his words. His Rod of the Quickening crackles to life in his hand.

(Emrys casts a Quickened Surrender Blood. +3 caster level to next spell. Inflicts 20 damage to Emrys.)

Tishe’s brain stumbles for a moment, then she shakes herself. “Get it together girl!”, she mumbles, and starts looking about and weaving spells.

First, she takes a look at Kelasandria and her orchard: is there a magical connection? Perhaps drawing naturistic strength from the land?

Not ready to act on any hunch, she works to define the battlefield. Still hovering, she casts Ice Wall to prevent her from retreating into the orchard. Then a Scorching Ray or three to target the nature wizard!

And finally, as only a Spellweaver can, she Readies a Dispel Magic as a Counterspell to attempt to counter K’s next Spell attempt!

(It appears Barratore's weapon is not adamantine, but he has greater penetrating strike, and his attacks with his sword ignore the 1st 10 points of DR. So by the way I'm reading it, she has DR 5 to him.)

That was a very potent spell he had cast. She should be choking for air on the ground. The magic simply washed over her. Her resistance is strong ... which he had no doubt, but not to that extent. He did however get a taste of her essence ... minty humus, he knows this earthy sweetness. She is more like himself than he thought. Their powers have deep roots ... Culverwood being his ... and this grove being hers; he is certain of it. He could destroy her entire grove of trees but he doesn't wish harm to his friends in the process. For now, he chooses to focus on her.

To recap how our heroes attack ...

Velarin steps back 5' and casts a quicken mirror image spell, creating 6 more of himself. V then casts a maximized cone of cold at the green lady, but he fails to penetrate her spell resistance. He notes that he is unlikely to do so, actually, and perhaps he ponders spells to help his friends ... and maybe he looks to spells that bypass spell resistance entirely?

Barratore attacks as he activates his Torc. He swings and hits for 27 damage, of which the lady actually takes only 22, due to her damage resistance.

Lanliss moves quickly to flank the green lady. He moves to N7, with total defense.

Emrys casts a Quickened Surrender Blood and then Suffocation, enhanced by Focus Curse and Surrender Blood, on the Green Lady. Caster Level: 19/+3 to DC and Spell Penetration. Spell Penetration: d20+24=29. His spell penetration is impressive, but every dog has her day. His spell fails to penetrate.

Brom moves to O9 and seeks to destroy the green woman. He thinks, what’s love got to do with it. Attack (pa, gvs, rage): AC 37; damage 59 ... he swings and misses, even with a flanking bonus.

Tishe’s, till hovering, casts Ice Wall to prevent her from retreating into the orchard -- it appears behind her. Then a Scorching Ray or three to target the nature wizard. [OOC Please Roll Penetration vs SR 44] And then she readies a Dispel Magic as a Counterspell to attempt to counter K’s next Spell attempt!

The enemy tries to cast a quickened Wall of Thorns, but the spell is quickly countered by Tishe.

Edson rushes in with the others to flank the woman... (Acrobatics 50 to dodge a.o.o). He slashes, but misses all three times.

The Green Lady punches at Barratore. She hits ACs 50 and 55 for 16 damage and 20 damage ... please apply your own DR if any (stoneskin?). In addition, her punches are anti-magical ... by my reckoning he has Magic Circle, Stoneskin, Fly, Heroes Feast, and Freedom of Movement. Rolling randomly, the punches take down the Fly and the Heroes Feast.

IN ADDITION, the very strands of her hair are revealed to be magical vines! Six vines grow wildly out, assailing the rest of you! They have a reach of 30 ft, so everyone is in reach -- miss on a 1, crit threat on a 20 ...
Brom: 19 damage
Edson: 20 damage
Emrys: 21 damage
Lanliss: 21 damage
Tishe: 24 damage
Velarin: 22 damage

Green Lady Stats:
AC44

Tough as anything, both in Magic and Physical defenses!, Tishe’ knows they are in for the fight of their lives when the vine slashes her, removing most of the benefits of Emrys’ Heroes Feast.

We’ve got to get through those defenses!”, she exclaims, and weaves one of her most powerful spells, Greater Dispel Magic! She targets Kalesandria to strip 4 spells on her, knowing there is very very little chance of breaking the god-like spell resistance (need nat 20. Fail.)

Then she Readies another Dispel Magic to counter the next Spell K tries to cast.

Velarin's stoneskin absorbs most of the damage that Barratore would have received, but at the rate that his spells were getting stripped away, it probably wouldn't be there long.

Barratore goes to work with his bastard sword, and decides to forgo the power attack, and try and get multiple shots in now that he had some flanking help. (41-miss, 50-threat and confirmed crit, 40-miss, 27-miss, hasted swing 43-miss.)(this die roller sucks)( damage 50)

Green Lady Fight End Round 2 (DM Cayzle & DM Michael)  d20+22=23 [NAT ONE TO SAVE!];
Thursday August 15th, 2019 1:31:28 AM

Tishe’ casts a spell that fails, then readies a dispel to counter ... She tries to cast a quickened dispel magic on Barratore, but Tishe’s counter stops it!

Velarin steps back, casting quickened Haste on all friends, and True Sight as well. The True Sight reveals that there are no tricks here; all is as it seems to be.

Barratore attacks and hits well! He inflicts 45 damage (after DR).

Lanliss swings thrice and misses. He notes that plants and leaves and even the trees around in the area, give her some vitality and even animate to protect her; that’s part of why she has such a high AC.

Brom also swings and misses. He notes that her tough viny exterior offers greater protection than steel plate!

Edson strikes and misses as well.

Emrys casts a powerful spell to control the green lady, one against which her spell resistance is useless. The potent WIll DC is a 30. The lady has a WIll save of +22. She fails the save, and the battle ends, if she rolls a 7 or less.

The Green Lady rolls a NATURAL ONE!

Huh. You guys know that I’m not one to pull my punches. But sometimes the dice gods smile on ya. This is one of those times. Nat one.

The Green Lady kneels and looks at the ground.

You got ... what? 17 minutes to order her around!

Emrys tries not to look surprised. He is confident of his powers, but he knows that his chances were not in his favor ... not with such potent adversaries. However he can feel a growing tension ... the tug and pull of forceful minds. He won't be able to maintain control for too long.

"It didn't have to come to this, but YOU forced my HAND!" He shakes his fist in anger, not realizing at first that his hand was fully wooden and covered in thick, serrated thorns (Wooden Fist SU, free action). He quickly retracts the thorns and replaces it a more fleshy and flexible hand.

He turns to his friends and explains what's happened. "For now, I have her under my control. I won't have it much longer ... I'd say for the next 17 minutes. Don't consider her truly surrendered. This submission is purely by my command alone. She is still very much hostile towards us. If you want to take advantage and end her existence, that would be the very prudent decision. She is long overdue a meeting with Gargul! However, she being a plant ... I wouldn't be surprised if she grew right back!"

Emrys then addresses Green Lady, "Please disarm yourself. Remove all weapons and items of magic and place them on the ground. Answer my friend's questions truthfully, to the best of your ability."

" Glad I could help with that distracting swing and moss routine that I planned out. " Edson half jokes. " now what.. ?"

Tishe’ relaxes, and then activates her Detect Magic abilities and concentrates on Kalesandria. Not only is she looking for what magical defenses K has, but if there is any special magical properties that connect her to the local nature around them.

OOC: Note that the True Sight detected nothing, and the Detect Magic this round also detects nothing. All divination spells fail in this realm, remember?

Barratore is about to try once again to connect with the woman until he sees her kneel and surrender. And looks to Emrys. and expresses his frustration with not wanting to attack an unarmed prisoner.

Velarin responds, "Can you force her to answer questions truthfully? If so, we may be finally able to get some of the answers about her, Maegos, what had happened, what is happening, and who's doing what to who as well as what happens if one gets the others item."

"Folks something about this tress and fruits", Lanliss says and points to the surroundings.
"It is as if the forest and fruits are part of her", he says with amusing tone. Lanliss then proceeds randomly to one of the trees and throws the alchemist fire flask he has on the trees from a safe distance. OOC: somewhere a druid experiences a disturbance and sheds a tear.

Brom is impressed with Emrys's power. Not wanting to break his control, Brom stands ready and let's the talkers talk. He does keep an eye on their surroundings.

Emrys"It didn't have to come to this, but YOU forced my HAND!" He turns to his friends and explains what's happened. "For now, I have her under my control. He then continues to explain the nature of this spell and that she is still hostile. Emrys then addresses Green Lady, "Please disarm yourself. Remove all weapons and items of magic and place them on the ground. Answer my friend's questions truthfully, to the best of your ability."

OOC: However, Emrys knows that any suicidal or self-destructive commands will be ignored.

The green lady has no possessions. She motions to the fruit and indicates that you may have it. She looks up to answer questions.

“Piggies!”, shouts a frustrated Tishe’, stamping her foot on the airl where she hovers for emphasis. “But there is more than one way to water the Grass”, she continues. “Sieur Velarin! Sieur Emrys! Anyone who has studied the Arcane arts knows that one can Identify a spell effect that is in place without magical divination spells. But it is difficult for me since I haven’t studied enough. Can you check her over for all her spell effects?” (Know Arcana 20 + spell level)

Now that Emrys has K answering his friends’ questions, Tishe’ let’s the others ask the tactical questions, and she leans into the first round of strategic...

“Where are Kalesandria’s Roses?” (To Ensure the ones we saw weren’t a trap)
“What would happen to you and the inhabitants of this realm if we took them out of this realm?”
“Would Maegos be able to escape his realm if he had Kalesandria’s Roses?”
“Would Kalesandria be able to return to the Wold if she had Maegos’ Armor?”

And another thought just to make sure...

“Are you Kalesandria?”

In a low and soothing tone, the best he can produce, Emrys talks to the Green Lady. "I am truly sorry it came to this. We are very similar, you and me. I was hoping to learn from you. I was attempting to engage this encounter from a purely enlightened approach. For reasons that are too many to say in the short time we have. My interests dwell primarily in life and death, light and shadow; and I try and walk that fine line between the two. Much of the gray in the between are beyond my comprehension. I don't feel a connection to others, like what you and Maegos had. I don't understand love and how it breaks. I don't see beauty ... music has no sway. These seemingly simple things, that all people experience, makes to sense to me. I was hoping one of you could explain this so that I could understand. Answer me, do you still love Maegos? Pity."

Emrys' voice then takes on a more sinister tone. "Then there are times I must favor the shadow's path. You must tell me the source of your powers. How does your grove empower you? Tell me now ... or you'll force my hand again! Do you want your grove to run red with Woldsblood?"

Green Woman with Envy (DM Cayzle & DM Michael) 
Sunday August 18th, 2019 10:30:47 PM
Tishe’ is frustrated that she could not check her spell effects and urges her friends to use Know Arcana. She then asks questions of the green woman:

“Where are Kalesandria’s Roses?” Here in this demiplane, behind you and before you. You’ve seen two of the roses already I’m sure. One is here on my person.

“What would happen to you and the inhabitants of this realm if we took them out of this realm?” I do not know. It would depend on your intent and what you did with them.

“Would Maegos be able to escape his realm if he had Kalesandria’s Roses?” No, there is no escape for either of us on this side of the veil. But if he had my roses then he could rule both our realms and enslave me and mine.

“Would Kalesandria be able to return to the Wold if she had Maegos’ Armor?” No

“Are you Kalesandria?” I am one of her avatars. I am but an aspect of Kalesandria.

Velarin does as Tishe' requests, and uses arcane knowledge(30) to look at the green lady and her spell effects which should determine any spell 10th level or lower. There are none!

He then waits for her to answer the first round of the questions

Barratore moves behind her with his sword at the ready. He prepares to end her when she breaks free of the spell or is given the go.

Magic was nowhere close to his workload, so Edson moves next to Barratore and stands behind the woman. He draws out his kuhkri and awaits her to wake up. "Just in case you need some help Barry."

Lanliss looks around him and is disappointed, " My idea was a total miss", he thinks for himself as he sees no signs of weakness or painful expression from the lady.

Emrys nods to Tishe's request. He takes a knee down next to the Green Lady. He scrutinizes her intensely and attempts to check for the tell tale signs for spell effects and links to a possible source. (Knowledge [Arcana]: 49) He sees no spells or magical effects on her.

In a low and soothing tone, the best he can produce, Emrys talks to the Green Lady and considers the nature of love and his experience with it ...
"Answer me, do you still love Maegos?" No ... Love? Love and hate can both coexist. I love him, and yet I hate him.

Emrys' voice then takes on a more sinister tone. You must tell me the source of your powers. How does your grove empower you? Tell me now ... or you'll force my hand again! Do you want your grove to run red with Woldsblood?" I am sworn-bound to die before revealing my secrets. I cannot answer. I will say that my flowers bind my soul to this plane, so that I cannot die while they last. Just as Maegos with his armor.

Tishe’ tried to calm herself and emulate Emrys; the BloodWitch seems to have the right approach, and no use getting angry at answers that might as well come from an Oracle!

“It depends on what we did with the Roses? Explain yourself, provide examples, please.”

“Both of you love and hate the other, and that hate spills into the Wold causing others to be affected. Is there a path where we, the Keepers, may end the hatred? What is that path?”

“We have seen two roses? The one between villages and the one on you? How many of your roses are there?”

The tactical questions about her powers and connectedness with the plane she forgets to ask, concentrating on her piece of the tapestry.

V listens intently to her answers and frowns as it becomes more and more apparent that the only resolution is likely going to be killing both the green lady and Maegos. unfortunately, the result of that course of action was unpredictable. How would it affect the beings living in this realm. Would another avatar appear to replace the vanquished one....Too many unanswered questions.

Barratore stays right where he is, they had some time still.

She's just an avatar! the fact they were lucky to have won the day against just a representation of the being did not sit well with Barratore. Even if they took the flowers and the armor, wouldn't the near immortal powers of these realms simply will another avatar into being? Snort!

Love and hate were so very close to each other, what the Keepers best option would be is to gain apathy by each for the other. A complete uncaring would cease this conflict, but like they were in love with each other and thus hated each other, or perhaps the other way around. Like those couples that marry and divorce every few years.

"Her flowers bind her and sustain her to this place as does the armor for Maegos. To give either the other is to declare a winner of a war of pain we are ill equipped to fathom or declare victors in. For the good of our realm, I say we remove the flowers and armor from these places to be held securely away from them both."

Brom listens to the questions asked of the Green Lady. He is in agreement with Barratore. Perhaps it was not about reuniting the scorned lovers but letting them pass to the Land of Rest. But if she were only a representation of her true self, would they even be able to fall that giant?

"A flower is on your person. Hand it over please."

"An aspect ... tell me, which aspect are you? What part of her do you represent? I am an aspect as well. Of the known four, I am the Magus."

Since his creation, there have been four known aspects of Emrys split across multiple threads of time. This group has known two aspects of Emrys ... the Muse: pure inspiration and creativity. His friends knew him as the bard ... musician, poet and stylist. Then came the Magus, the current incarnation. He is everything the Muse wasn't. Others include the Mentor and the Monster ... pure logic and intellect and the other unrestrained chaos and madness.

Tishe’ tried to calm herself and emulate Emrys

“It depends on what we did with the Roses? Explain yourself, provide examples, please.”
If you keep them safe and admire their beauty, then no harm befalls. If you destroy them, you doom me to death. If you know how, you can use them to enslave me.

“Both of you love and hate the other, and that hate spills into the Wold causing others to be affected. Is there a path where we, the Keepers, may end the hatred? What is that path?”
Bring me his armor. I will bend him to me, and the hatred ends.

“We have seen two roses? The one between villages and the one on you? How many of your roses are there?”
Yes, you have seen those two. She says no more, since to tell you the total number would be self-destructive.

They are powerful and potent, and you would be better served by leaving than confronting them. She says no more than that.

Brom listens to the questions asked of the Green Lady. He is in agreement with Barratore

Emrys asks for the flower on the person fo the green woman. She does NOT hand it over. He then asks her, "An aspect ... tell me, which aspect are you? What part of her do you represent? I am an aspect as well. Of the known four, I am the Magus." He then muses about the four known aspects of Emrys.

Tishe’ looks sadly at the other Keepers. “She says Doom, but is it not the doom of all mortals to die? The Sarr was ever for a balanced life and rebirth. Those who have followed Gargul would see both Maegos and Kalesandria as abominations akin to a lich. And then there is this hatred and suspicion that permeates the Wold above. It is a danger that only we can handle.”

She looks at the temporarily subdued Kalesandria avatar and shudders. “And yet we were so very lucky in this fight. I don’t think we were affecting her but 1 in 20, and she was able to strike us with impunity. And I don’t think trying to wrestle her with her natural armor and weapons would fare any better. So if we start fighting again, how do we win?”

Tishe’ thinks hard, and then invoking her patrons of Maab, Sarr, and Gargul, she hopes for heroic inspiration. (Use Hero Point for Inspiration)

"You are all right. This aspect is the gardener, and we were having a heck of a time with her. What if we bump into the warrior avatar next, or the woman scorned. None of them will give up the flower without us killing them, and even if we manage that, there are three more of them running around out there, possibly all holding a flower."

"I fear that this mission has become such folly as to make it an impossibly unlikely task....

The flower in the village back there id not seem to have an avatar hanging about it, but you're right. We are in a no win situation.

Tishe’ looks sadly at the other Keepers. “She says Doom, but is it not the doom of all mortals to die? The Sarr was ever for a balanced life and rebirth. Those who have followed Gargul would see both Maegos and Kalesandria as abominations akin to a lich. And then there is this hatred and suspicion that permeates the Wold above. It is a danger that only we can handle.”

Tishe’ expresses her doubts of beating the green woman again and notes their luck with her so far.

Tishe’ thinks hard, and then invoking her patrons of Maab, Sarr, and Gargul, she hopes for heroic inspiration. (Use Hero Point for Inspiration)

Inspiration: There is a lot you can do to her short of death. Gag her to stop spellcasting. Tie her hands and legs (but she would balk at fully binding her). Blindfold her. Lay her prone. All gather around and make full attacks. She’ll try to escape, of course, and the control spell may break, but you will have her in a very tight spot while you attack. In addition, look for touch attacks, fire attacks that bypass SR, other attacks that bypass SR. Hope that is inspiring.

Edson moves closer to Tishe, putting his hand on her shoulder. "Let us know what to do ... "

Lanliss scratches his head as he is not sure what do to or ask. He then asks, "Let us assume that you get the armor.... what would happen to us ? what would happen to the armor? what happens then?"

You give me the armor, I reward you, you go your way and I go mine. With power over Axendur, I promise I will prevent any negative seepages going up toward the sun.

Velarin agrees with Tishe’s concern of fighting the green woman and what aspect may come next. And then expresses his concern, "I fear that this mission has become such folly as to make it an impossibly unlikely task.... The only option I see at the moment would be to find the other three avatars and see if any of them would be willing to assist us. Another horrible possibility is that when one Avatar is destroyed, it's power is split among the remaining avatars, making them near un-killable."

Emrys expresses his frustrations out towards the green woman, "Your goal is to do the very thing I've done to you. Consider this ... has my domination of you ended your hostility ... your hatred? Hatred is a weed in the garden that you're allowing to fester and spread. Once you regain control, you will try to kill us again, wont you? Do you really think Maegos will ever truly submit? He would wait his time until he discovers a way to break free ... just like how you are planning to, right now! You're scheme is pure folly!"

She scowls and simple says, I disagree, child.

Barratore cocks an eyebrow to Velarin, "All possible and possibly none of it as well. We don't know how many flowers there are, we don't know if more than one avatar exists at a time, we don't know if another avatar can appear when 1 is defeated.

If we leave it is certain our people will suffer. at some point in the future, the portal will be uncovered and more evil will befall our lands."

And just as things couldn’t get any more tense, Barratore steps a pace back and makes a decision to inflict a coup de grace. However, that is not possible. You can only make that attack against a helpless foe. The rules say: Helpless: A helpless character is paralyzed, held, bound, sleeping, unconscious, or otherwise completely at an opponent's mercy. She is none of these; she is not helpless.

At Barratore's action Brom immediately readies himself should she not be felled by the strike.

(assuming Barratore doesn't attack alone without being able to coup de grace)(and of course, V currently has no touch attacks memorized)

"We should at the least bind her hands and gag her while we try and come up with other ideas."

As V talks, he moves around behind the green lady so that Barratore is between V and the woman and she cannot see him. The Wizard then pulls out his immovable rod and shows it to the others while holding up 4 fingers, and hoping they get the idea of using the 4 the group possesses as immovable restraints in some configuration to hold her mostly helpless against the ground or a large rock.

Velaron moves behind the green lady and takes out a rod.

Patience at an end, Barratore hits thrice for 117. He notes that all of her prior damage had regenerated.

Tishe casts a cantrip for 2 damage and readies a counterspell.

Lanliss voices a note of caution and waits.

Edson attacks. Like I was saying, you cannot coup de gras her because she is not helpless. You can attack at +4 because she is prone and +2 flanking to hit her AC44. I think you may still be hasted ... PLEASE ROLL YOUR ATTACK AND WE’LL RETCON IF YOU HIT!

Emrys pulls back and observes.

Brom watches too.

The Control Plants spell is still in effect, but it lets her ignore self-destructive orders. The order to surrender and kneel is clearly a self-destructive order, so she ignores it. Instead, she rises to her feet, and then moves to the nearest tree and climbs it. Her climb skill is high enough (+40, climb speed 40) that she does not need to roll.

Barratore, Brom, and Edson can make AoOs from her rising from prone.

She uses Acrobatics to move 20 ft to a tree and then 20 ft up the tree. (Acrobatics 40) She sets herself with the tree between herself and Tishe, so that her Quickened Cure Serious Wounds cannot be countered (Tishe’ has no line of sight). She cures herself 34 points.

"Tishe', we are going to need to counter everything she tries to cast, and hope the others can come up with a way to kill her. stay on opposite sides of the tree. You all let me know if you want me to try and disintegrate the bottom of the tree and drop her in an unknown direction."

[OOC: DM Error and Correction. When I (Cayzle) put the wall of ice on the map, I put it on column L, although SteveK had positioned it at M/N. Not sure why, so I’ll assume DM error. It’s too late to go back and retcon everything, so to make things right, Tishe’ gains three hero points and the note that hero points in general can be used on spell penetration checks. Sorry for the error.]

Brom takes his attack as the green woman gets up.
AC 42, damage 30 (slashing, adamantine) (with the bonuses for flanking and prone, that’s a hit).

Velarin silently laments the fact that every single spell he has memorized takes spell resistance into account. The wizard drops his rod and moves to the side of the tree opposite Tishe' and readies to counter any spell the green lady throws with a greater dispel magic(dispel check of 36 when used)

"Tishe', we are going to need to counter everything she tries to cast, and hope the others can come up with a way to kill her. stay on opposite sides of the tree. You all let me know if you want me to try and disintegrate the bottom of the tree and drop her in an unknown direction."

Tishe’ flies until she is on the ground, looking up from O,7 and opposite from Velarin.

Tishe and Velarin move so that at least one of them can keep the green lady in sight.

Barratore follows the green lady as she scampers up the tree and activates another of his clan Torc's powers. [OOC: which power? Enlarge of some kind?] Barratore then moves to his left and closer to the tree she is hiding in, moving to NOPx10,11,12. With his size, she is currently in reach, though she gains cover from tree branches and the trunk.

Lanliss shouts " I can try and jump to where our green lady is". Lanliss then starts to run frantically as if possessed by a Woldian entity. He leaps and climbs to end his round in the tree right next to the green lady. Lanliss is in melee range.

“We have to see her first, or else can’t target her with Counterspells,” Tishe’ says, “But maybe I can help with that ...” Even if Tishe’ can’t see Kalesandria, she can see a long ways up the trunk. “Do you have good balance too?”, she wonders aloud, and casts Grease to coat the trunk and branches in a slippery area spell bypassing spell resistance. [OOC: The DM assumes that the spell is positioned to exclude Lanliss.] She makes her save.

Green Lady Acts!

She tries to cast a quickened cure. Both Velarin and Tishe can see her now. I do not see a counter roll from Tishe’, but Velarin’s is fine for the job. The spell fizzles.

She then reaches into her hair, pulls out six thorns, and throws them at our heroes. Her thorns are ranged touch attacks with a range increment of 120 feet. If you are hit, you move at half speed and can’t take 5-foot steps, fly, or use air walk, either naturally or magically, until you or another creature pulls out the thorn as a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity.

Velarin - Hits Touch AC41 for damage 23

IF YOU HAVE DR, APPLY IT YOURSELF PLEASE.

[OOC to Emrys: Highlight to display spoiler: {She is still under the effect of her spell. Ordering her to stop spell casting and to stop attacking is fine. Those are not self-destructive orders. Ordering her to stand still while being attacked IS self destructive and will not be obeyed.}]

[OOC: You can see her clearly -- she just has a 20% miss chance vs ranged attacks from the leaves of the trees.]

He is surprised by the level of freedom the spell allows ... of course, this spell was meant for plants!

He wishes his friends weren't in the grove, otherwise he would make good on his promise and drench the grove with a storm of Woldsblood.

V is pleased that one of his spells was actually useful, even if it was just stopping her healing spell. The wizard watches in relief as it appears that Emrys still has some control over her.

"She regenerates, so we can't take too long with whatever we do."

V then reaches over and spends the round pulling the thorn from Barratore's hide while Emrys has control. "There you go my friend. that should make kicking her butt easier."

Edson swaps his kukhri for his bow, hitting twice.

THE GREEN LADY -- who cannot attack or cast spells -- takes a double move. Barratore can take an AoO against her. Lanliss takes off in hot pursuit. Note that she has 40 move and was able to leap 40 ft across and 20 ft down easily from the tree to the ground.

Glad he spent the last few seconds freeing Barratore of the thorn in his hide, Velarin flies 60' after the woman and Lanliss and with little else he can do, throws a spell and hopes. He heroically casts an empowered cone of cold at the woman, but heartbreakingly fails the spell penetration check by one!

Emrys shouts, "Stop running!," he commands the Green Lady. Emrys also moves out of the way (R3), not to be in the way of the combatants ... Daemon follows. He adds a few more commands, "Do not eat or drink! Consume nothing."

As the Green Lady leaps from the Tree, Barratore swings his now huge blade, missing by inches. The fighter chances a glance skyward to see if he spies Ward laughing from behind one of his namesake moons.

Then Barratore turns on his heel and moves after the Green Lady. He can’t quite get where he wishes what with Velarin and Lanliss getting there first. Still, with his reach it is not a problem. The huge taur takes another downward arching swing - a miss. A curse is hurled towards Warrd and a near promise to reduce one of his shrines to rubble if the god does not start minding his own business.

No word from Brom or Edson.

The Green Lady does not attack, cast spells, or consume anything, as ordered. However, the order to “stop running” seems to her to be clearly suicidal. She starts running. Lanliss and Barratore gain AoOs. Since she is running, her AC drops to 34.

A string of Elven curses fly from the mouth of the clearly ticked off wizard who flies 60' towards the green lady and then unleashes the hells upon her now that nobody is close to her. As V begins casting the spell, he feels the awesome power of the spell fill him with vast magical energies, which he then redirects through his outstretched hand causing four 2' diameter spheres of fire and brimstone to rocket toward the woman. Upon reaching their target, they explode in a magnificent fiery explosion that encompasses everything within 40'. "Let's see her ignore this"

Brom takes his shot at the fleeing woman, inflicting 46.

Barratore slashes the fleeing the lady as well. He hits for 32. He chases her.

Lanliss also attacks, but misses.

Edson fires four times with the haste. Three find their mark, inflicting 29 damage.

A string of Elven curses fly from the mouth of the clearly ticked off wizard who flies 60' towards the green lady and then unleashes the hells upon her. Careful to avoid Baratorre, Velarin uses the awesome power of the spell to send four spheres of fire and brimstone to rocket toward the woman, which explode in a magnificent fiery explosion that encompasses everything within 40'. "Let's see her ignore this." The potent meteor swarm penetrates her spell resistance at last! Three of the four hit the green lady’s touch AC. She rolls a reflex save of 32, which fails. Does the bludgeoning damage get past her DR15? The rules say “Spells, spell-like abilities, and energy attacks (even nonmagical fire) ignore damage reduction.” So the DM rules that it all works. She takes 17 bludgeoning damage and 111 fire damage.

Having taken 419 hp of damage, the green lady is defeated! She dies with the impacts of the meteor swarm!

There doesn’t appear to be any treasure on the green lady other than the encased rose. And there is of course all of the fruit in the orchard. The Green Lady seemed to have been heading towards a stand of giant mushroom but she never made it there. What could have been so important that she was dashing over to in such a hurry, one may wonder?

He moves closer to Velarin.
After a few moments, he is back, not at shock, he shakes his head and says "That was a spectacular" to Velarin.
He then proceeds to move to the direction the Green lady was heading to.
He tries to look at the Mushroom from different angles, "Is this Magical ", he asks and points to the mushroom.
"Surely she would escape here for a reason" He concludes and taps his foot on the ground.

Tishe’ tries to keep her head on a swivel, but the grey murk makes it difficult. “Good thing my Daylight Spell is still working to give us strong light!”, she says with false gayety. She makes careful assessment to see if the murk is affecting her Daylight Spell, to see if the murk is magical or not.

The feeling of impending attack, makes her Ready a Scorching Ray Spell, to cast at the first thing that attacks any Keeper hero. (Because Tishe’ is flying, she feels she can keep up with Barratorre using one move action, and ready with a second and not slow anyone down.)

"Yes, I have Death Ward, but it only last minutes at a time (17min). Are you wanting it now?" If Barratore says yes, Emrys will cast it on him immediately. Otherwise, he will save it for later when necessary.

Emrys casts True Seeing upon himself. (Duration: 17 min.)

Tishe’ tries to keep her head on a swivel, but the grey murk makes it difficult. “Good thing my Daylight Spell is still working to give us strong light!”, she says with false gayety. She makes careful assessment to see if the murk is affecting her Daylight Spell, to see if the murk is magical or not. ... The daylight does work, but its effectiveness is lowered by one light level. The feeling of impending attack makes her Ready a Scorching Ray Spell, to cast at the first thing that attacks any Keeper hero. (Because Tishe’ is flying, she feels she can keep up with Barratorre using one move action, and ready with a second and not slow anyone down.) The daylight spell creates light that helps everyone to see forward. The light from the spell slowly becomes more dim as you continue on.

Velarin also moves in with the others, hovering 15' off the ground. He uses his true seeing to attempt to pierce through the colorless gray murk -- but no divinations work in this demiplane, so the spell fails to offer new information.

Lanliss tries to stay alert , but he starts shaking as they go further deeper inside the grove.

Emrys offers a death ward, but notes its limited duration.

Barratore and Edson remain silent and continue forward.

Brom advances alertly, watching carefully. His senses are so good that he is the first to notice that up ahead there is a clearing. It seems large, like 100 ft in radius. And there is something very BIG in the center.

All creatures in the globe are blinded and take 6d6 (22) points of damage. A creature to which sunlight is harmful or unnatural takes double damage. A successful Reflex save negates the blindness and reduces the damage by half. (reflex save 29)
An undead creature caught within the globe takes 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 25d6), (64 damage) or half damage if a Reflex save is successful. In addition, the burst results in the destruction of any undead creature specifically harmed by bright light if it fails its save.
The ultraviolet light generated by the spell deals damage to fungi, mold, oozes, and slimes just as if they were undead creatures.
Sunburst dispels any darkness spells of lower than 9th level within its area.

If you enter the clearing, you will not have any cover or concealment, and note that invisibility will not work against blindsense.

=====

The party moves forward. Velarin casts the sunburst. The burst of light destroys the very fine floating pollen and spores that you now realize had caused the dimness in the air.

The burst illuminates a large clearing in the mushroom forest (100 ft radius). You see clearly floating in the center, about 20’ in the air, is a colossal, tentacled bulb, like a tulip bulb or a garlic bulb, only 30 ft in diameter. There are three glowing eyes in the bulb, spaced evenly on all sides. As the bulb floats in the air, four root-like tentacles dangle under. Directly beneath is the only source of color in this area - a deep red crystalline rose.
A Know Nature or Religion DC28 reveals Highlight to display spoiler: {This plant thing is both undead and plant. Expect a spore attack as well as tentacle attacks, as well as a hidden mouth underneath.}
A Know Arcana DC38 reveals Highlight to display spoiler: {This thing could swallow you whole. You have heard a story about something like this with eyes granting wishes.}

You also see eight large mushroom-men spaced evenly around the clearing.
A Know Arcana DC20 reveals Highlight to display spoiler: {These are eight golems. As such, they are immune to almost all spells that are affected by SR.}
A Know Arcana DC30 reveals Highlight to display spoiler: {These things likely have a spore-based breath weapon. Spells that might affect them include transport via plants, control plants, and finger of death.}

The sunburst does not affect the mushroom-men. It does affect the gigantic bulb, who screams in pain when the spell is cast -- a decidedly feminine scream. Her reflex save of 26 is not enough ... she takes 64 damage. Although her eyes are blinded, her other senses, which grant her blindsight, compensate for the loss of vision with no problem.

After the flash of the sunburst fades, a high-pitched but rumbling laugh comes from the bulb-creature. “Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You think you can defeat me in my realm. You are mistaken. Come -- serve me. All must serve eventually, and only I can offer you immortality in my realm.”

Tishe, you are not in scorching ray range for the Bulb-creature. Do you want to unleash it at a Mushroom-man? If so, which one?

=====

The bulb-plant-thing releases a cloud of spores. It is a cone with a range of 100 ft. By my reckoning, that’s good enough to affect Baratorre, Brom, and Edson. For you three, the burrowing spores deal 74 damage, reflex save DC26 for half.

The eight mushroom men rouse themselves and “activate” -- they will act normally starting next round.

As soon as the Bulb attacks and rouses the Mushroommen, Tishe’ launches her Readied Scorching Ray against the MM at K,10

“Immortality is overrated”, then quips Tishe’ as she also rises further into the air and moves to get a clear shot of Bulby-eyes. Enhancing her weaving, the Spellweaver throws a Stilled Freezing Sphere at Bulbosaur!

She then turns back to the wounded MM and, if still moving, casts a Quickened Scorching Ray to fry it again!

Emrys steps into the clearing and assesses what he looks upon. An eyebrow rises upon realization of what he observes. "It's an Undead Plant ... an abomination to nature!"

Addressing the giant, undead tulip, he shouts, "I warned you! Did you actually think this day wouldn't ever come? Has your long existence taught you nothing?"

Emrys had stated before that the gloves were off. So like his fellow casters, he brings hell down on the unfortunate fiend in the center of the clearing.

"Unless someone has a better plan, here's mine. Tishe' and I lighting up the the garlic bulb. Brom and Barratore start working on the golems, because Tishe' and I can't hurt them. Edson, Lanliss either help Brom and Barratore with the golems and flanking, or turn the bulb into a pin cushion. Emrys, you are the only one with healing....monitor who needs it, and apply as necessary. When not saving the rest of us, destroy something.

V flies 60' straight up, putting him 75' off the ground and then casts a maximized fireball onto the bulbous plant (68 damage, reflex save 27 for 1/2) followed by a quickened regular fireball (47 damage, reflex save 24 for 1/2)

Tishe’ casts a scorching ray at a Mushroom-man and learns that as a construct it is completely immune to that spell. She does not waste another on it. She moves to J14 and casts a freezing sphere at the Plant-Bulb-Undead monster. She has no SR, so please save that hero point. She fails the save and takes 59 damage.

Edson shoots at the green bulb. She is AC37, so the first and last arrows hit. Edson’s +4 bow bypasses her DR10/admantine. She takes 31 damage.

Emrys casts his potent forbidden rain. The green bulb is dazed and takes a point of Wisdom damage. The area of the rain is shown on the map.

Velarin offers info and then blasts out two fireballs. She makes a save and fails a save, taking 91 damage.

Lanliss draws his weapon and waits.

Brom hustles toward the bulb monster. Since part of her is sticking out of the rain, he could attack that part and avoid the Woldsblood ...

The Green Bulb is dazed and takes no actions.

The Mushroom-men ...

A mushroom man moves to Barratore and breathes a cloud of spores on him. Fort save 19 or take 4 points of Con damage.

Immune! Tishe’ heard Emrys and Velarin, “Thank the Sarr they are well-read!”, she exclaims to herself. And Velarin is correct, there is little she can do to a Golem, “but I can try to slow it down, I can, so the Keepers don’t get too many at once!

Tishe’ rises in the air higher to avoid any lashing vines or spores from the MM, then weaves a Quickened Grease Spell at S,T,10,11 to make the MM fall down!

Edson holds his breath long enough to not be effected by the spores. He rolls away( acrobatics 43 to avoid AOO). He moves to 17 J, helping Barratore and Tishe flank the golem there. He still fires at the bulb, seeing it the best chance.

Hits twice, 6 dmg + 3 fire, and 9 dmg + 2 fire

The spore cloud smacks Barratore and elicits a grunt as they burrow in through his armor and magical protection. Barratore is able to avoid the brunt of the attack by quickly getting closer in behind his shield, Reflex 35

The fighter uncharacteristically pauses though, but a Mushroom golem attacks and snaps him back. The sporecloud. normally no threat at all is blessed by Warrd. Barratore is blessed by Imod, a true hero of the lands and pushes the spore affects from himself

Brom had the big one and he would protect the others still on the ground. Barratore steps 5' to the south and closer to Edson before attacking the Mushroom golem that attacked him. His Torc activates and Haste enhances the formidable fighter

V smiles slightly at he and Tishe being able to rain destruction from the air upon the bulb creature. The thought of a squadron of flying wizards raining fireballs upon targets crosses his mind. Wishing to hit the bulb as hard as possible while it's still dazed, he will count on the fighters being able to handle the golems for a bit. "Death from above!" he says to himself as he unleashes another volley.

V throws an empowered fireball, followed by another quickened fireball at the aspect, being careful to keep Brom out of the blast. (66 damage, reflex save 26 for 1/2)( 40 damage, reflex save 24 for 1/2)

Emrys is satisfied with his Woldsblood storm ... and there are no signs of it ending just yet. The longer the Aspect remains dazed in the blood storm, the more her awareness is drained away. The grasp on her reality and resolve is eroding away with each and every drop.

He then turns his attention to the approaching mushroom constructs. He has full confidence is Barratore to quickly dispatch the ones that had already engaged them. He looks to slow or strangle the others as they approach.

(Emrys casts Entangle and centers it on square X11. Range: Long. Area: 40-radius spread, this should get the two from the north. Reflex Save: 23.)

Tishe’ rises in the air higher to avoid any lashing vines or spores from the MM, then weaves a Quickened Grease Spell at S,T,10,11 to make the MM fall down! It fails the save and falls! Then she turns her attention to Dead Bulb Girl, and lashes her with a Sonic Lightning Bolt! She saves and takes 13 damage.

Edson holds his breath long enough to not be effected by the spores. He rolls away (acrobatics 43 to avoid AOO). He moves to 17 J, helping Barratore and Tishe flank the golem there. He still fires at the bulb, seeing it the best chance. Hits twice, 6 dmg + 3 fire, and 9 dmg + 2 fire. [OOC: How can you move and make a full attack? Let’s use just one of those attacks, for 9 damage.]

Barratore saves through a heroic effort! Then he steps 5' and attacks. His Torc activates for Hasty purposes, and he hacks at the mushroom-man. A few effective blows later, the enemy is defeated -- in several pieces on the ground.

Velarin smiles slightly at he and Tishe being able to rain destruction from the air upon the bulb creature.. "Death from above!" he says to himself as he unleashes an empowered fireball, followed by another quickened fireball at the aspect, being careful to keep Brom out of the blast. She fails both saves and takes 106 damage!

Emrys is satisfied with his Woldsblood storm ... and there are no signs of it ending just yet. He then turns his attention to the approaching mushroom constructs. He has full confidence is Barratore to quickly dispatch the ones that had already engaged them. He looks to slow or strangle the others as they approach, so he casts Entangle. Two mushroom-men fail their saves and are entangled.

Lanliss hustles northeast, angling for a better position.

Brom risks the falling Woldsblood. He feels it tug at his soul ... he feels compelled to enter the rain, let it bear him away ... Maybe that is why he swings at the green bulb and fails to hit.

==========

Kelsandra fails to save again. She remains dazed and takes a second point of wisdom damage.

Mushroom-men 1-3 are dead or trapped. Numbers 4-8 get closer to attack. One moves 30 ft and breathes spores on Edson and Barratore. Both please Fort save 19 or take 3 points of Con damage.

Tishe’ carefully gauges the battlefield. The golems seem to be staggered well enough for the Keepers to deal with them if only they can keep Dead Bulb Lady our of the fight. “We need to take Emrys’ weaving at full opportunity to end this undead pattern!”, she calls to Velarin, and pours her whole concentration to do just that!

The Spellweaver takes her time to cast a Maximized, Enlarged Scorching Ray, followed by a Quickened Lightning Bolt! Fiery and electrical lines reach out to touch the Undead Bulb!

Emrys decides they may need a little more help and he calls on a few friends from Culverwood.

(Emrys casts Shambler. Range: Medium. Effect: d4+2 Advanced Shambling Mounds = 6. Duration: 7 Days.)

Suddenly the ground erupts with six giant mounds of tangled and twisted vegetation. The form arms and legs and standing tall at 9 to 10ft high. Emrys directs them to attack the Mushroom Men that have closed in on them. They form an almost defensive wall as they lash out with slam attacks.

(Placement: All 6 Shambling mounds can be no more than 30 feet from each other. I want them in flanking positions behind the Mushroom men that have already engaged the group. ... and provide a defensive line for the approaching Mushroom Men.)

The Spellweaver takes her time to cast a Maximized, Enlarged Scorching Ray, followed by a Quickened Lightning Bolt! Fiery and electrical lines reach out to touch the Undead Bulb! She fails the save and takes 107 hp.

Velarin declares: "Between this fight and the last fight, I'm running out of potent offense, boys and girls. And most everything else as well. And I'm down to my final quicken spell." Velarin throws his last empowered fireball (44 damage, reflex save 26 for 1/2), followed by a quickened magic missile at the aspect (28 damage). SHe saves this time and takes 50 damage.

Lanliss still assess the situation not knowing if he should run to deal with the enemy or not.
After hearing Velarin, he asks. "What do you want me to do then ? any clever ideas?"

Edson unleashes 4 arrows; one is almost a perfect shot. The green bulb creature takes another 10 hp damage. HOWEVER, there are two mushroom-men right next to you, and you’ve provoked AoOs from them! They hit ACs 30 and 31 for 19 and 8 damage, total 27, PLUS make two DC19 Fort saves for 2 con damage and 4 con damage.

Emrys creates SIX advanced shamblers! They surround and attack a mushroom-man, destroying it.

As for the gigantic green bulb, she has taken 353 points of damage already. Another 168 pushes her to 521 total. That’s enough to destroy this aspect! She collapses.

A mushroom man attacks Edson with two slams, hitting AC34, a crit threat that fails to confirm, and AC31. Two hits. Edson takes 21 and 17 hp damage, total 38 damage (total total 38+27=65 damage) and has to make ANOTHER two DC19 Fort saves for 3 con damage and 3 con damage.

Three of the closest Shamblers move to flank and attack the Mushroom Man in combat with Barratore. The other three move to greet the Mushroom Man to the south.

(Attacks on Mushroom Man across from Barratore) One Shambler is already in reach of the Mushroom Man, the other to move around to attack from behind.
(Attacks (5): 19, 22, 34, 23, 29 = 4 hits, (+2 flanking). Damage: 15+14+18+18 = 65 damage. - DR)

Emrys seeing Edson fall, he shouts, "OH NO YOU DON'T ... NOT AGAIN!" Emrys rushes over and delivers a Life touch.

Tishe’ hovers and does a slow circle, looking for other threats to her team. Aside from the obvious mushroom-men, she sees no danger.

Velarin yells down to Lanliss "I don't know. Shoot something? Help Edson?" Velarin casts reverse gravity on the two mushroom men between the rain and entangle spell, hopefully launching them 60' to 80' into the air -- and this works fine, seeing as there is nothing to grab onto! V calls out, "Brom! help Edson out!"

Barratore fends off the effects of the spore cloud. And attacks the golem creature. He kills it! "It hurts less if you don't block their fists with your face Edson" the minotaur chides.
"Get behind me for a few moments."

Edson gets knocked back from those fists. He feels weak, sluggish, sick.. all at the same time. " But Barry.. If i move fast enough, They can't....." the words trail off as the elf face plants into the ground. [OOC: per Emrys’s calculations, Edson is in fact dead!]

Lanliss picks up Edson and brings him out of battle.

Emrys uses his patented witchery to bring Edson back to life!

Three Shamblers have no target after Baratorre kills a golem.

Three other Shamblers move to engage the last golem standing.

At this point, the battle is effectively over. Three golems are disabled, stuck fast, and easily dispatched. A fourth is quickly destroyed by the shamblers, not to mention the party warriors. Edson has been yanked from the precipice of death.

Battle is over!

Barratore deactivates his Haste from the clan torc about his neck and checks on Edson. "Move fast enough indeed." Finding him alive he shakes his head a bit at the small human. "It would do my heart a great deal of good if you did not continually test Emrys' ability to catch you."

The creatures defeated, Barratore searches the golems for any hidden treasures while Brom or someone else handles the bulb and getting the flower there. "after this, we still need to secure the other flower from the village back there. Maybe Edson and Lanliss could sneak that one away and we spare a frontal assault."

Lanliss instinctively reaches for a wand he kept for less serious injuries.
He tries to point it at Edson, Trying to feel a magic from the wand and saying some words who to the occasional listener would seem he is trying to cast a healing spell.

If success- Lanliss is happy to know he got to help Edson a little bit and says "So now we just sneak out take the flower and run for our lives as fast as possible"...."especially when that aspect can't get out of this place"
If fails- Lanliss frowns as the magic thing he bought didn't work and says "Edson needs help" after a moment or two he asks rhetorically "So the only safe option is to steal and run for our lives?"

Use magic Device 16: action- use wand of cure light wound on Edson.

The elf takes the healing, thanking Emrys and Lanliss. Assuring the others he is okay. He picks his weapons up, and waits with the others patiently.

Barratore deactivates his Haste from the clan torc about his neck and checks on Edson. "Move fast enough indeed." Finding him alive he shakes his head a bit at the small human. "It would do my heart a great deal of good if you did not continually test Emrys' ability to catch you." The creatures defeated, Barratore searches the golems for any hidden treasures. There are none.

"We can't quite collect the one on the dead garlic bulb until Emrys' woldsblood stops raining on it," Velarin notes.

Tishe’ waits for the Mushroom-men to be put down, then moves down to reunite with the Keepers. “We need to search the Bulb-Aspect for a Rose,” she says. Does that mean some magical way to move tons and tons of dead/undead garlic-flesh? Or is the only way the messy way?

When the group goes to the dead Bulb -- after the rain has stopped -- Tishe’ searches both physically and with Detect Magic, taking her time. Unfortunately, divination magic does not work in this demi-plane. She thinks the flower is likely right under the dead thing, under its center, 10-20 feet in.

Brom volunteers to handle the bulb ... by sheer muscle and mess?

Lanliss heals Edson and suggests sneaking back to the village to get the last/first rose.

Edson thanks his friends for yanking him back through the Veil.

After everyone has had a chance to catch their breath, the Woldsblood rain storm ends (14 rounds later, about a minute and a half).

Emrys explains, "The Woldsblood will instantly evaporate and returns to the Shadow Realm. The area should be safe to walk through."

He helps Edson up off the ground and scrutinizes his condition. "You can use a little healing." Emrys gives a short sniff of the air around Edson. He mutters, "Hmmh, already giving the scent of a shambler. It's nothing to worry about." Emrys then casts a Cure spell on his friend.

(Emrys is casting Cure Moderate Wounds on Edson, empowered by Spiritual Healing. Cures 2d12+10: 12+8+10 = 30 points of healing. This should heal Edson to max.)

Emrys then turns to Barratore and does the same.

(Emrys casts Cure Moderate Wounds on Barratore. Cures 2d12+10: 3+2+10 = 15 points.)

"That spell casting was substandard ... allow me to touch it up with another."

"Emrys casts Cure Light Wounds on Barratore. Cures 1d12+5: 12+5 = 17 points.)

"Now that's better!"

Emrys then cures Lanliss of his wounds, which are minor thankfully.

(Emrys casts Cure Moderate Wounds on Lanliss. Cures 2d12+10: 2+2+10 = 14 points!! The worst possible rolls!)

"Oh my word ... what is wrong with that spell ... I think it's broken!" He follows it up with another.

(Emrys casts Cure Light Wounds on Lanliss. Cures 1d12+5: 6+5 = 11 points.)

Looking at Brom, he calls out, "Brom, do you need healing ... it's sometimes hard to tell with your many scars."

Lanliss starts picking some random stuff from the ground.
Some grass, some flowers and a handful of leaves and a shortbark or small sticks of wood.
He tries to make some alterations to his clothes to make him more in color and atmosphere of the place.
Sticking some leaves to his boots and a few flowers on pants and pockets.
He then starts taking some of the grass and mixed it with some dirt from the ground and rubs some of it on his head and hands

"That's more like it", he says as he looks at the color of his hands now.
"How do I look now ?", He asks as he puts a sort stick of wood on his belt.

The minotaur glances at Tishe as he walks to the north end of the thing. Barratore takes one last deep breath of clean air and begins wading in, his blade slashing and hacking its way through as if blazing a path in a thick jungle

V waits and watches with a slightly grossed out look as the task of cutting through the bulbous body commences.

"As i see it, we have two choices. try and get another rose or two and then get out of here and then rest. We don't know how many there are, and we think there are at least 2 villages. We may actually need to find a way to speak with someone to find out the number of roses. In doing this, I don't have enough left for another major fight, but will do what I can."

"Other option is to leave now and come back at full strength, but the risk of another avatar showing up or something returning makes that the less than optimal choice. I'm thinking we go to the village and get the rose, and if we have the opportunity to get a hold of a villager and ask about the number of roses we should"

"If divinations functioned in this realm, I'd tell you exactly where to cut." He knows his words are no comfort, he just wanted to say he'd help if he could. Using his knowledge of nature and necromancy, he at least tries to offer the best advice where he'd consider the best locale to start digging.

Emrys looks at the Rose they have taken already. Are they gem encrusted or made from rubys or other gemstones. If so, he will try and determine their value ... not for greed and gold, but to set a trap. He takes his magnifying glass, gives himself a knowing glance (Guide: bloodwitch ability) and scrutinizes the magical Rose they took from the Gardener. (Appraise: 20)

Velarin feels tapped out, and wonders if it is time for a strategic withdrawal, or to check out the villages.

Emrys offers his hard-working friends lots of “advice” on where to hack. :-) He takes a close look at the green flower you got from the Green Lady. It is crystalline, that is, formed as if from a crystal. Only magic cast on a huge gem could have made this. It is unique and priceless -- that is, it is worth as much as the best price you could find for it.

HACK HACK HACK ... an hour later, you “unearth” both the red crystalline rose and three billiard-ball size spheres that were the creature’s eyes.

Emrys' interest is peaked when he see's the three black spheres. He then takes his magnifying glass and applies it to them. He tries to identify and appraise them as well.

(Knowledge [Nature]: 47 to identify what the orbs are made of. Appraise: 31 to determine their quality and value.)

"The crystaline roses appear to have been magically created from a massive gemstone. It would be interesting to know where that jewel might be. These orbs are quite interesting as well. I believe they might be Onyx, which I'm trying to determine. Onyx is often used in Necromancy for the creation of undead. Onyx is placed within the eye sockets as a material component.

Emrys studies the eye-balls. His deep well of nature lore comes in handy: They are polished spherical wishing stones, the finest ones he has ever seen.

The party travels away from the mushroom glade, past the magical orchard, and comes to the two villages, close side-by-side. The clear crystal flower, in its clear case, is between the two villages. The two kinds of plant people see you, and a couple nod or wave. You are a few hundred feet from the rose.

“I think we start flying together. Sieur Velarin, Sieur Emrys, and I hover 50’ above the Rose and provide aerial cover. Sieur Barratorre and Sieur Brom Fly straight to the Rose Box and smash the box. Sieur Edson and Sieur Lanliss right behind them for a grab. Then fly up and out to the Door back to the Wold. “

Sunday September 15th, 2019 11:09:04 PM

Tishe’ waits until the Keepers are within sight of the Rose between the two villages. And then she sets to work. Extended Fly Spells are woven for Barratorre, Brom, and Lanliss (If don’t already have capability); Coalesced Extended Fly Spells are woven for Emrys, Velarin, and Edson (If same)

“I think we start flying together. Sieur Velarin, Sieur Emrys, and I hover 50’ above the Rose and provide aerial cover. Sieur Barratorre and Sieur Brom Fly straight to the Rose Box and smash the box. Sieur Edson and Sieur Lanliss right behind them for a grab. Then fly up and out to the Door back to the Wold. “

She looks to Velarin for the Keeper’s leader to agree or modify the plan.

Velarin answers, "In principle i agree with the plan Tishe'. I still think it would be beneficial to try and communicate with them to see if they know how many roses there are, but the risk at this time outweighs the reward. There likely won't be time for Edson or Lanliss to check for traps either. I have two walls of force left.

Edson activates his invisibility. " I am gonna follow right behind B and B. Once smashed, Lanliss grab and I follow, or I grab and go, Either works for me, your choice Lanliss."

With this consensus, the party flies to the space between the two villages. Directly below is a clear box, with a crystalline flower within. It sits on a pedastal the foot of which is sunk into the earth.

As you approach and scout, you see that villagers on both sides are gathering, curious. A couple call up greetings and ask what you are doing. On one side are huge pod creatures; on the other, large vine creatures.

Tishe’ takes an assessment of the situation. The viney and pod creatures are gathering... how close are they to the Crystal Rose? How fast did they move? (Perception 38)

The intent of the plan is to swoop up and down going 120’ every 6 seconds, supposedly much faster than any of the villagers can get to the Rose. The Keepers definitely DONT want to fly high or hover or make a scene before the theft: that defeats the purpose! If they have already gathered or can move fast enough, the smash-and-grab is defeated before the Keepers even start.

Before they all take to flight, he will make sure Daemon isn't forgotten about. He casts Wind Walk on his reptilian spirit guide. He tells him to stay in mist form and follow along with the group. "Keep an eye open for danger and let me know about it," he says mentally. Daemon answers back, "CCertainly."

Emrys moves with the group ... he walks when they walk ... he flies where they fly. He keeps his eyes and ears alert for those little surprises that always pop up out of no where.

Tuesday September 17th, 2019 10:36:33 PM

The party hovers over the glass box. The nearest villager is 60 ft away, another two are 100 ft, another two are 150 ft way ... likely one or two will arrive on site every round starting next round unless you act now to stop them.

Brom attacks the glass to break it. It has AC0, so the hit is inevitable. However, the glass has Hardness 30 and is immune to admantine. So I need a damage roll to see if it is yet broken.

Is anyone else acting? I seem to recall a wall of force plan to use if the villagers got closer. If you want to use it, now might be the time.

Barratore swings and ... CRACK! A line appears on the clear box. But it is still intact.

Meanwhile, the party casters delay the villagers ... Tishe’ with a Wall of Ice, Velarin with a Wall of Force, and Emrys with a Wall of Thorns.

Caster Friends, please put your heads together and give your DM an idea of the radius formed by the barrier formed by these three walls. Or the sides of the triangle.

Edson stands ready to snatch the flower.

Lanliss keeps watch: He sees that there are three plant creatures at the walls; that’ll be six by the end of the round. You hear voices: “Hey! Get out of there! That’s against the rules! You better stop that!”

Brom, at the last second, gives a mighty whack! A net of cracks splinters around the box. One more blow will surely shatter it!

Tishe’ keeps watch and ignores the calls of the Veggie-Villagers: she is a horrible bluffer and would only rile them up (is what she tells herself). The Spellweaver considers the situation. Her wall is 40’ south of the Cube. Velarin did his opposite so it is 40’ north of the cube. Emrys did his to close one of the gaps in-between, so that is 20’ high and closing the west side between the Ice and Force just 40’ to the West of the Cube. (80’ feet separate the Wall of Ice and Wall of Force)

That leaves one 80’ gap to the East of the Cube that is still open. “I’ve got the gap”, she calls, and casts another Wall of Ice, 80’ long and 20’ high.

The ‘Snatchers’ are now surrounded by magical walls, all 40’ away from the Cube they are trying to break, and all 20’ high (except for the south side which is 15’ high).

“By the plan!” , she calls. “Quickly!”

Emrys is flying along (at 60ft, like the rest), Daemon is Wind Walking in mist form (he can travel as fast as 60mph) but maintains a short lead, not getting too far ahead of his master.

He sees the pod creatures between them in the exit. The wall summoned by Tishe would be most effective, but he decides impede their movement as well. He decides to invoke a Miracle ... a powerful gift in which he can choose from all sorts of powerful effects. However he decides not to abuse such a gift with an overly powerful request when a simple effect would be sufficient.

(Emrys casts Miracle to duplicate an Entangle spell empowered with the potency of a 9th level spell. Range: Long. Area: 40' radius spread (80ft diameter spread) in the area of the pod creatures. Save: Reflex 32. Duration: 17 minutes. Area is now difficult terrain.)

With everybody flying at 60, plus two more walls and an entangle, the party is able to win through to the exit first!

You burst out into the dark antechamber. The door slams shut and you have escaped the realm of the undead-plant-things.

AND you have escaped with all three of Kelsandria's crystalline roses, clear, red, and green. And you have the wish-eyes!

You are back in the Wold, albeit at the bottom of the Pit of Darkness. Your divinations work again, whew. What do you do?

Black in the black, Barratore can now access his Haversack and produces his Everburning torch, even though he knows a great deal more magical light is surely about to be created.
"1 down, 1 to go. V. Lets get that sweet mansion of yours up and plan out our assault."

Assuming the magical mansion is shortly created, Barratore enters, gets a bath and finds the grand dining room for some food and drink.

When the others gather to join him, Barratore lays out what he sees as what is coming
"Fire protection, a bit more fire protection and a heap of fire protection. I don't think things will be drastically different upon entering. Which means we won't need all of that Fire protection until after the first battle with the anti magic golems and the girl. And as they destroy active spells, we should probably not have too much going on in the first place. At least us front liners. Though her blade conducted negative energy, so Brom and I should have Deathward going in. After her, we hit those swarms, so some nice non fire based area spells would be great. Then we have the elementals and the lava falls. Need some walls or shaping of stone to give us a tunnel and then it will be Meagos and the other golems

Seems to be better than hanging down here with major magical spells of confusion and insanity still sticking to the walls. And we all already have fly up. I am assuming tomorrow that I should prepare another couple of stone skins? I only have 2 left until i restock up on components"

Unless it's decided against, V will fly up the tube back to the lair of the time elemental and cast the mansion.(ooc making new spell list now as i will have very little time tomorrow.)

As they did the day before, the heroes fly up the pit and "camp" in a Mage's Mansion. They discuss what will be needed to assault the Burning Land of Maegos. Is it then a straight-up fight that you seek? Will you bring the crystal roses with you? If so, who will carry them, and in a dimensional container? If not, where and how will you stash them?

Any divinations of other spells you guys wish to cast before heading back in?

Are you bringing the permanent telepathy head spikes with you?

Emrys and Daemon fly up and out of the pit with the rest. The doorway to the magic mansion is a most welcome sight. He is more fatigued that usual. Never has he cast such powerful spells; their drain was more than expected. He now understands how his father tried to described the feeling; and that there was no good description. He collapses into a comfortable chair and signals for one of the servants to bring him his wine. "Don't move with that bottle ... I'm not done yet!"

After the first bottle, he begins to ponder the things he saw today .. the things they collected. The fact that Luck Stones, extraordinary and of exception quality they were .... "why were they the eyes of that undead garlic?!"

V sits back and relaxes in a comfortable chair. looking forward to a tasy meal he doesn't actually need to eat, a glass of wine he definitely wants to drink, and a bath he absolutely needed.

"Do we want to undertake a full out assault right off the bat? I'm not sure if that's the wisest course of action. I think perhaps we give Maegos the same option we gave Kelesandria. Cease all activities outside of your realm, or will do it for you. We may have a much more difficult time with Maegos, as his golems are not likely effected by spells as the plant people were."

"Do we take the flowers? I'm not keen on taking them in, but at the same time i would not feel secure leaving them out here while not in our possession....Unless I teleport them back to the Manor and leave them there."

She considers Barratorre and Velarin’s ideas, and reluctantly... sides with the Minotaur. “No use if we are just gonna take his armor at the end anyways. Maybe after we beat Braella, Sieur Edson and Sieur Lanliss can find the secret entrance so we can bypass everything and jus get to the throne room?”

“And a Wind Walk Spell we can bypass the geysers and Swarms.”

“And Sieur Velarin, are there any Spell changes you can do to your normal study for better effect against constructs?”

Barratore listens to V, but he's no longer inclined to talk to anyone. "Talking compromises us." He turns to Lanliss, "Sure, we totally tell him as we carry out the plan. Put an end to him and take his armor"

Barratore nods as Tishe talks, "That's right the secret passage he showed us to get out quickly. Bloody brilliant Tishe." Barratore does inhale and sour look crosses his snout, "Nothing we have thought seems to really carry through and I am nervous about bringing in the flowers in an extra dimensional space with the premise that we think there is no way to access it. We can't, but can he?"

Barratore continues, "What if we left the roses inside a mansion. The spell lasts over a day, and only those V says can go in can. Thoughts?"

Wednesday September 25th, 2019 11:43:23 PM

Safe in the magical mansion, Emrys unwinds and ponders the imponderable. He considers the three magical gem-eyes, and detects that they are each tied to the three crystalline flowers. While the flowers last, the gems cannot be destroyed. Once the flowers are destroyed, each eye can be used once to cast a Wish spell.

Velarin suggests an alternate approach to Maegos, and he wonders what the party should do with the crystal flowers. Maybe leave them at the party Manor?

Lanliss relaxes and worries at his dirty garb. It seems hard for your Dungeon Master to honestly believe, however, that such mundane concerns are at issue for a hero of the 17th level of puissance. Surely the invisible master servants of the mansion would clean and mend and buff and shine as needed, from boots to buttons! But be that as it may, Lanliss also worries at the plan for Maegos, wondering what to tell the master smith.

Tishe’ thinks that Braella will have to be beaten again, and that the dungeon will need to be re-run, unless you can find the back door. And put the flowers in an extra dimensional space?

Barratore suggests leaving them here in the Mansion, and heading in for a fight and the secret passage.

Clean (yes!), fed, and resting, Tishe’ nods. “I think if we put it anywhere, it is not completely safe. I mean, if he can get minions out and detect the magic emanations of the Mansion, they could dispel it and capture the Roses that way. Even the Powers are not completely safe when you remember Margos’ comments about Kelivar and Marteus! Having them with us at least means Maegos has to go through us to get them in the first place. “

“I thought about announcing we have the Roses and get escorted to Maegos, but we never seem to have good luck with hidden threads. Most likely, we would just have to fight everyone at once!”

"I will have to agree with Tishe' Barratore. The safest place for the roses is back home or with us. I could teleport back with them leave them safe there...For that matter. We could all teleport back. Time is not of the essence in this instance for a change. We actually have the time, for the first time I can remember, the option to go back, purchase some additional potions, scrolls, anti-golem stuff, update Lord Hmitri as to what is going on in case it goes bad, and then return when ready. If we all get wiped out, the Cinnamon Valley has no idea what is going on here. I would definitely like some more potions and scrolls before attempting this. Maegos is likely to be more difficult than Kelasandria."

Barratore agrees with the keeping of the roses with the party. "I am not concerned about a minion being summoned to the mountains, who penetrates the mines, navigates the lake of magicless death, defeats the time elemental and then is powerful enough to dispel one of V's mightiest spells, but I see no reason to press it. No way we leave them at the manor. They go with us. I agree with Lanliss the only drawback i see to the time is on our side idea is that is seems to me, in order for those two to have hated each other so much, they have to be aware of the other. We just killed her correct? I think we should operate under the impression that he knows that and is putting precautions and defenses in place. Even though us bringing him the roses and thus putting an end to her is what he wants. He knows we are highly capable and will be on the highest of alert when we go in.."

Barratore pauses, "Which then leads back to what V was saying, returning for some special supplies for what we know of his defenses seems prudent. I think we should follow that course. Maegos is not 'going' anywhere. We should be at the top of our game."

Emrys informs the rest what he learned about the crystal flowers and their connection to the Wish Stones.

"Very enlightening indeed! While the flowers exist, these Wish Stones can not be destroyed. Once the Flowers are destroyed, each of the tree Wish Stones can be used to grant a Wish. This opens new doors of possibilities, wouldn't you say?! Perhaps something quite useful against the 2nd evil ex."

Emrys gazes deeply into the marvelously crafted wish stones and says, "Afterwards they would make fine paper weights, a nice conversation piece ... a lovely gift."

Daemon then chimes in ... "Why not wissh for a giant gemsstone worthy of an immortal ... and make a SSoul Trap for Maegoss. You were sscheming that tactic earlier!"

"Spoiler, Daemon! I was about to get to that. Yes, if done properly, Maegos merely touching the gemstone would complete the casting of the spell and his resistances would be useless. He'd be trapped within the gem for eternity ... for as long as the gem exists."

Let us return home for a short bit then. I can teleport a total of 5 people plus me in one shot, or 3 plus barratore and me, because he's so big he counts as two. Therefore, I come up one short for a single trip. I have a scroll someone else can use to get a couple people home, or i can just make multiple trips, assuming that I can teleport back to this location once I study it for returning purposes. If i can teleport out, I should be able to teleport back.

Unless opposed, V will carefully study the lair of the time elemental and then take everyone but Emrys and Barratore on trip one, then immediately return for Emrys and Barratore for trip two.

A Chance to Regroup ... WHEN? (DM Cayzle) 
Monday September 30th, 2019 11:07:50 AM

With the caster power in the group, two teleportish magics are no difficult matter. Velarin takes everyone but Emrys and Barratore. Emrys thus moves himself and his large friend to the designated refuge that is your manor. Velarin, please roll the standard Teleport chance for error ... on a d100, that's 98-99 for being off target, and 00 for going to a very similar location.

[OOC: Your DM does not see any name for it other than "The Manor" -- are there details I am missing?]

However, teleporting from the Temple of Time, near a place where dimensional magics are disrupted, proves problematic. Maybe it would have been better to have open sky overhead when the spells were cast ...

Emrys leading one group, and Velarin leading the other, find that their paths diverge as the dimensional magics warp and weave.

Each of you, also please roll separately for WHEN your group arrives. 2d6-7 ... -5 to +5 days from the present. 0 = arrives the same day the spell was cast. Roll a d2 and a d12 to see the time of day you arrive.

Keep in mind that you have been underground for several days, and may or may not be surprised when you arrive. But Velarin's group may be surprised that Emrys' group does not immediately follow, and Emrys's group may be surprised not to find Velarin's group when you arrive. Unless Velarin's group finds Emrys's group waiting?! Or maybe Velarin's group will be already there when Emrys's arrives? Hmmm ... confusing!

Note that attempts to teleport back to the Temple always fail. The only way to return is through the front doors.

Barratore has nothing to give on this one. They were underground, in and out other dimensions and spent multiple days in V's magical mansion. The fact that it is night does not phase him, he'll never know about time travel.

Tuesday October 1st, 2019 12:07:52 AM
So let's say you all have regrouped, at midnight two days ago. You will probably rest at the Manor? Maybe you do not even know that it is the past. Though that hour delay before Emrys and Barratore arrived is troubling?

What do you do in the morning?

Barratore would like to divide any treasures gathered thus far and sell them in the Catacombs.
"I'm not a fan of using wishes to create an elaborate trapping gem to try and trap Meagos. We don't know if he has a soul as we know it. His life, like the woman's could be tied to the armor and the demi plane. I don't like our chances in getting him to fall for the rouse in the first place. He almost certainly knows Kasandra is dead and we are the only candidates to have done it. He is a pretty bright, nearly immortal mage. My vote he knows the spell and wont be accepting any big gems as gifts."

Barratore shakes his head, "Far better uses of wish spells, like bringing back the dead or changing such psychotic joke inflicted upon us by Warrd."

"I need to hit the Catacombs regardless and get a few things."

Barratore heads out, one because he does need some stuff and two, he figures last one without something to do will have to play paige boy and report to the council

V chides himself for having the intelligence of an Ogre and not thinking that teleporting from the time elementals lair might not be a great idea once he realizes that it should not be night. He will inform the others. "I perhaps made a miscalculation by not leaving the elementals lair before we ported. It would seem that time and space were likely warped somewhat. We will give the others some time to arrive before we start the search for them."

After everyone is back, relaxed, and cleaned up, V agrees with Barratore regarding the catacombs. And then Seeing Barratore exit stage left, he quickly volunteers to assume his usual role of dealing with the catacombs, and allowing others to go chat with the council.

The party pauses to split up loot. Let us assume that all transactions are complete, so that there is no delay of game.

Note that you also have the head-spikes from the metal lord, which supposedly connect everyone who has implanted them via telepathic communication.

Also note that the wish-eyes are worth 80,000 gp each once the flowers are destroyed.

You also mentioned connecting with the local ruling council? Who is doing that, and to whom are they reaching out?

Tishe’ doesn’t realize anything is amiss until Velarin Points it out, they lost a couple of days. That, however, makes her excited: “We have 2 days to prepare and teleport back before Maegos knows we are gone!”

Tishe’ composes a short letter to the leader of Magpie Crossing and the local member of the Pitchfork council: Lord Hmitri. In it she tells him that the Keepers are home for a couple days and have important news on their whereabouts. Would he be interested in coming to the Manor for dinner? She seals the note and gives it to One of the Flett boys to deliver, and asks Glenda to get the food and preparations for the Keepers, Staff, and about six guests. (Anticipating Hmitri will have an advisor and a bodyguard or two).

At the Manor in Magpie Crossing, there is no relaxation for the Spellweaver. It is off to maya’s treasures and the secret entrance to The Catacombs! She speaks friendly-wise to old Maya, but tries not to let her tongue get the better of her until they are able to speak with Lord Hmitri.

Then it is cleaning up and helping to set the table. Tishe’ knows the only thing that someone can trust her with when it comes to preparing food is fetching the water to boil, so she tries to stay out of the kitchen in preparations.

Emrys isnt interested in any of the gear. He already has more powerful versions of what is available on the table.

Barratore makes an interesting point. The nails that Maegos had given them could be used as censors to scry on them. He should probably perform some magical tests and divinations of his own. But it is probably best if we keep them in a lead box for the moment.

Barratore heads to the Catacombs and picks up some potions and a scarab for fighting golems. Upon returning, he's delighted that Tishe and the others have taken care of reporting to the council.

"Unless anyone has anything, we should port back to the mine entrance and make our way down. Emrys's recall wont work, so transit is on you V. Once we get back across the lake, we make a mansion and plan our assault."

Wednesday October 2nd, 2019 10:00:31 PM

Tishe's message is sent to Hmitri, and the fellow you send to deliver it returns with a reply: "Of course, I would be pleased to dine with you noble heroes."

The Manor is a hustle-bustle of preparations. Meanwhile, you visit the Catacombs and make purchases. Barratore cleverly buys an anti-golem item.

[OOC: Please keep in mind that you HAVE to break all three flowers before using or selling the wish-eyes. Do not go to the Catacombs to sell them, please. They are nonstandard fate items, not the kind that stick to you, but also your usual Catacombs item. You have to find a buyer in game.]

Emrys spends some time analyzing the Telepaspikes. They cannot be used for scrying, because scrying only finds creatures, and clairvoyance only finds places. Locate Object and equivalent would find them, without scrying ... but with wishes on the table, almost anything is possible. There's the old standby of the paranoid hero, Detect Scrying, if you have that available ...

With time and full divination available, it is clear that the Telepaspikes work as advertised: Tap one into your skull, and then you have perfect private telepathy with everyone else who has a spike. But a thought may occur: what if Maegos did not give all the spikes in the set to you? What if he held one or two back?

The Teucri artifact that keeps them alive also is projecting their suspicions and hate to the mountain communities. This both turns people crazy and attracts evil things that like that feeling. We are gonna go back and stop those wizards which should enable Good things to return to the mines and villages.”

And in the morning, she is ready to return. “I have 4 scrolls of Acid Arrow at 15CL, and 2 scrolls of wind wall. Just in case!”

Emrys needs to know if they are being spied upon. He doesn't know a spell that detects scrying or other divinations ... only to redirect or hide from such prying eyes. However he has learned to manipulate powerful magic energies to anything he possibly desires. It's an awesome ability and he fears the corruption of wielding such power, but he sees no other course of action. He's been given the gift ... he might as well use it.

Velarin heads off to the Catacombs.

Tishe’ shops too.

Edson lends a hand with the chores around the Manor.

Baratore compares shopping experiences and offers advice.

Paranoid or perfectly practical, Emrys uses mighty magic to ensure that if anyone scries on the party, he will know of it.

That evening, the heroes have dinner with Hmitri, and Tishe’ takes the lead in explaining what the party has learned.

“I have no doubt,” Hmitri says, “that many foul ageless things found refuge in the Dread for many years, sheltered by the liches and evil magicians among the Sons. Now that the Dreadlich is gone and the Sons dead or dispersed, it is good to see heroes such as yourselves purging that land. Maybe more honest folk will start to settle there, and eventually cure the land of its contagion. It is the gods' work you are doing here, my friends.”

He has one more suggestion: After you are done, do what you can to bless the land and consecrate it for the cause of life.

Tishe’ thanks Lord Hmitri for both the insight on why the secrets of the mountain (and many other things in the Dread) have been lost or unknown. Why, from stories the original group of Keepers say, this isn’t the first time they have ventured into the Dread to do some cleansing!

Although a trained performer, Tishe’ isn’t in the mood for song nor dance, her mercurial attention for the moment focused on a clear objective!

“Sieur Emrys, I hadn’t thought about it, but I know the spell ‘Detect Scrying’. I can even prevent Scrying (and she casts Mages Sanctum now). That white-handed treadle Skalipy was so tricksy, My magics morphed to the needs of the Sunrise Song”

Prepped with rest, equipment, and knowledge, Tishe’ is ready the next morning for Velarin and Emrys to ‘port them back to the mountain entrance.

I assume we shall leave on the morrow. Following Breakfast of course."

The wizard then returns to his room to clear his mind and focus on the task ahead, planning his spell preparation before meditating to prepare for memorizing the new spell list.

"The lands do feed off of the energies of the creatures living within them." Barratore nods as he comments on what Lord Hmittri says. "Once we put an end to Meagos, we might be able to do something, the burden lifted from the villages and the Land might start healing."

Barratore thanks Hmittri and any other guests that stopped in.

Barratore thinks the flowers, the roses should be destroyed sooner rather than later. "the existence of the flowers could be allowing her to reconstitute herself."

If the group agrees, he also feels it should be done well outside of town. He and or Brom could have a few protections upon them, Deathward, Fire, cold and such and then set to destroying the crystal flowers. The rest of the group could remain at medium range, say 120' feet and assist if needed

The next day -- still a day BEFORE you teleported home, you guesstimate -- the party gathers outside of town on the road north.

Tishe', Emrys, and Velarin cast a range of protections on Barratore and Brom. Edson and Lanliss stand guard. The two hulking brutes of the party step forward to shatter the crystalline flowers. They seem to have a very deep innate hardness. But with sufficient hard thwacks, even these magical creations crack and then shatter.

The wish stones now glow, you see when you check them.

V eyes the destruction of the flowers warily until the task is done. "Maegos will likely know or sense that the flowers have been destroyed. If that is the case, he will likely know that we are coming for him."

V casts detect magic, and examines the stones closely to learn all he can about them(spellcraft check 50)

Once the group is ready, he will study the groups current location, and teleport half the group to the front doors of the mines, and then return, get the other half, and take them as well. (teleport rolls 2,76,73)

Emrys thanks and congratulates Brom and Barratore for dealing with the flowers. And yes, their destruction ensures that Kelsandria cannot come back from death. At long last she is ended.

Typically, Brom does not revel in kudos. He is already thinking about the next challenge.

Lanliss watches carefully as Velarin confirms what Emrys discovered. Each glowing fist-sized stony eye can be used to cast a Wish. The value is 80,000 to the right buyer.

Edson is ready for the fight against Maegos.

Velarin teleports the group successfully to the mine entrance. You make your way to the Temple. The Time Elemental seems highly amused to see you. You notice the entrance to the Mage’s Mansion here at the top of the pit. Indeed, you realize that although you went back in time three days, only two nights have elapsed since you came back. Indeed, “you” are likely battling Kelsandria at this very moment. What will happen if “you” of the present are here when the “you” of the past emerge from the pit?

Barratore wants to head down and into Meagos lands immediately. "If V and Emrys are right and we are here before we left, then Meagos may not know we destroyed her. Our twist of fate in teleporting home might be our greatest advantage. I say we get down there, DeathWard Brom and I and go in and get this done."

Tishe’ nods at Barratorre’s suggestion. “Down, in, out and not linger. The chances of crossing threads if we don’t stay put is small. Let’s weave! But,” she suggests, “a quarter of the circle around.”

Tishe’ has everyone that wants move a quarter circle to the right from the path the heroes normally take, touch in a circle for one cast of Feather Fall, and she waits for Velarin’s nod before walking into the pit.

"Agreed Barratore. And if we are fighting Maegos while we are also fighting Kelsandria, there is a great chance that Maegos will not be expecting us yet, and less of a chance of running into ourselves. Not sure if that would be a bad idea or not, but definitely one I'd like to avoid testing."

V moves his gear to non-dimensional locations, and casts an extended fly and an extended resist energy upon himself. He offers a fly potion to any that might need one depending on what Tishe' and Emrys cast. "I have three more resist energies, and then Tishe' or Emrys will need to cover the last three of us.

Emrys then adds something that he hasn't heard anyone yet comment on ...

"Things could become strange if we run into our future selves. If we are unable to convince us that we are actually they, then we could be in for a fight with ourselves! I fear the paradox could unravel the weave of time and space! I admit Ive never prepared for or considered such occurrence.

You heroes are clever indeed! You decide to descend the pit and enter Maegos's realm while your past selves are still dealing with Kelsandria! And by avoiding yourselves in this way, you avoid the dangers of paradox.

You make your way down, and you enter the realm of heat.

Through the door again, you see the two hulking golems -- but no Braella.

The golems bow to you. Evidently you are expected and welcome?

The whole idea of arriving before you left and two of the group at the same time made Brom's head hurt. He did have a thought he shared with V. Would the immortals be able to see into both realms? Did this guy know of our earlier arrival and the effects of time here? And so does he know we beat her already? Or maybe this was always to happen this way?

Again Brom's head hurt.

Barratore is a bit taken aback by the reaction of the golems. "Don't like that" he says gesturing to them. "We might have quite a group in the throne room, Brealla and Meagos's construct guards"

Barratore thanks V for the spell, and nods to the Stoneskin as well. Not being sure how long the Deathward lasts, he refrains from asking about that

"When we get to him, I agree with Emrys, we give him a single opportunity to stand down and remove himself completely and forever from the Wold. Anything other than compliance, we attack in full measure."

Emrys can't help but be a little nervous when they are greeted by golems. He gives a smile and nods in greeting... knowing full well that Maegos was surely watching.

"Ah! My friends! You have returned quickly!" says the lord of this demiplane, smiling. "Do you have flowers now? I hope you have succeeded in your quest."

V says nothing at the moment, not quite sure if he should begin casting, or allow someone a little more diplomatic to begin speaking to Maegos. Attacking Maegos doesn't feel quite right at the moment so he waits on Brom or Barratore's lead, or another to begin the discussion.

Maegos Smiles (DM Cayzle) 
Thursday October 10th, 2019 11:58:38 PM

Recap: You entered the realm of heat two days ago, saw the golems, and they bowed. Yesterday you looked for the secret entrance to Maegos's throneroom -- recall that's how he showed you to the exit last visit. You found the secret way, found it relatively easy to navigate, and followed it to the throneroom.

Maegos's throneroom is a huge underground chamber that has one corner devoted to his forge, one corner devoted to his "museum" of things on display ... looks mostly like stuff he crafted, weapons, works of art, a ... a spoon? and is that a metallic chess set?

The last corner of the chamber has the throne. It looks quite comfy and lived in, even a little shabby, and there's a folding table built into it, looks like.

In addition to Maegos himself, an armored medium person, you are in the throneroom with the two golems from the entrance (they followed you) as well as Maegos's four bodyguard golems.

Meagos looks disappointed when Emrys says they have not had a chance to use the telepathy items. "Well, I hope you find time soon. They really are among my best creations. The hardest part was how you asked for something permanent. One nailed, those babies are truly permanent, just like you asked for."

"So ... the flowers?"

Tishe’ had good intentions to keep her mouth shut, but the lack of discussion from the other Keepers, Maegos’ eloquence, and her own mercurial attention combine to make her inner promise moot.

“Maegos, we have them but in a safe place. You and Kalesandria have wrecked the region of the Wold with your animosity, so we are going to resolve the issue. We have the Roses. You give us your Armor and we will take it from this Teucri Artifact, so neither of you have the possibility of being controlled by the other. We are giving you this chance to agree.”

Unconvinced that Maegos will agree, She waits for the violence to begin.

That you won't kill me? I thought heroes like you guys did not use extortion and threats? Or is there a side of this deal that would make me happy?"

"Also, what do you mean, 'Wreck the Wold?' Sure Kelsandria had her little kidnapping games, so you might take issue with that, as I did. But all I do is sometimes send golems out to mine. What wrecking do you mean, seriously?"

Barratore has nothing further, though he does not believe the 'armor' being handed over is of the same nature as the flowers from K. Unlike K, Meagos is accepting the terms and therefore the hero in him wants to believe Meagos and so he is fine but wary. At this exact moment, The Keepers are battling K, or at least moving through her realm and within a day or so from now, Meagoes will surely know of her destruction. How he reacts will be something to keep attention on. For now, Barratore is happy to accept the armor and exit the realm.

Farewell ... but not too well! Forgive me if I lock the door after you depart."

Barratore gives Meagos a head nod of respect and seeing Brom looking to take the rear guard, falls in at the point and leads the group back and eventually out. Once beyond the realm Barratore flies up and out of the pit and into the caverns with the Time elemental.

"I think we set up camp on the far side of the lake for a day or two. See if Meagos changes his tune when he learns of Kasendria. Do we have a way of creating some type of alert if anything comes out of his pocket realm?"

Lanliss thinks for a few moments but he feels fear.
'He just might have a card up his sleeve...there might be something that can be done'
'Maybe an artifact, a spell or an hidden ally....'
Lanliss is torn apart between telling his friends about this feeling...this hunch of his....
A thought comes to Lanliss as they go out.

Before they go, Lanliss bows to Meagos and says "Farewell Meagos, Armor Lord, Master Craft-smith of ore"
After they go out Lanliss will rapidly tell the group about his hunch that Meagos might have a card up his sleeve...that he might have an advantage on them or he has an idea of how to beat them or have a revenge.
"It can be anything, and hidden ally, or maybe possible a secret passage for an army or some magical thing or ancient artifact.", Lanliss says.
"It can be anything !", He emphasizes again.

Bluff: Lanliss tries to bluff in case Meagos tries to see if someone suspects him about his intentions.

The heroes and the lord of this pocket dimension part on non-hostile terms. Maegos is gracious as you depart, and does not reveal any anger or negativity. The golems escort you to the exit.

Outside, at the bottom of the pit, Lanliss reveals his suspicions -- but there seems to be little to do about it today.

Barrtore wisely encourages the group to get well away from any potential paradox by gathering outside at the lakeside.

Velarin raises the issue of how to purify the lands around the diverse villages, considering the atmosphere of gloom hereabouts and the long history of dismal relations among peoples.

Will you wait a couple days, as Barratore suggests?

With a very worried look upon his face, V speaks. "We have a bigger concern. After pondering on this, We are going to have to deal with our past selves, and soon. In two days, they are going to walk into Maegos realm. What if somehow, Maegos knew of the time discrepancy? Why would he fight us if he knew that another us would shortly follow, and he could be ready for them. Already knowing what they wanted and how they would act, he could prepare a very nice trap."

"On top of that, our two day ago selves are about to go back home, and do the exact same things that we did two days ago. Including calling on Lord Hmitri. The people there are going to think we have lost our minds. I am not quite sure how to deal with this, but I think we might need to intercept ourselves as we come out of Kelsandrias realm. This is completely screwed up. Us and them are not supposed to exist at the same time. We are probably going to have to chance some sort of paradox, or never be anywhere for more than two days, when our past selves show up and make everyone wonder if we are crazy."

Stay here in at the top of the pit, or go ride out the paradox in a mage's mansion in the Culverwood?

Barratore wants to confront the paradox.

Tishe' and Velarin are undecided.

Considering you are pondering whether to shake the very fabric of space and time by forcing a paradox, your DM chooses to wait for more voices. Please, pick one course of action or the other and we shall see what happens!

"This is how I see things. On Friday we destroyed K and that afternoon we teleport home, arriving Wednesday night. We did things on Thursday and Friday morning we teleport back here and visited Meagos. It is now Friday about noon. In about an hour or so, other us pop out and teleport home to last Wednesday night. We need verify that it happens and the only way to do that is to have eyes on the portal. None of us are so perceptive that we would notice an invisible Edson over 100 feet away. Heck, we wouldn't notice me. Edson could be in the pit with us and not be noticed. We came out of K's with Light, Edson looking down the shaft will not be noticed and he can verify the conversation we had about teleport and Word of Recall to get everyone and that other us leave. We wouldn't even notice an invisible me, let alone Edson."

Paradoxical Encounter? (DM Cayzle) 
Monday October 21st, 2019 11:38:21 PM

Emrys and Edson hesitate, thinking it wise to NOT encounter your past selves.

Baratorre and Lanliss are willing to at least SPY on the past, but not confront.

But "you" have not yet emerged from the pit after defeating Kelsandria ... although you will doubtless emerge soon ... so Velarin suggests consulting the time elemental, and Tishe' agrees with that.

You seek out the time elemental, and you find it in a nook, quiescent. When you approach and call out, the swirling cloud of reddish-yellow vapor emerges, but then flinches away from you.

"Nnoooooo," it howls as it perceives you. "Yoouuuu aaarrreee paaarraaddoooooxx! Iiiitt iiiss taaabboooo!"

Evidently it can sense that you exist in Simultaneity, and the being of Time does not like the situation. It almost seems hostile, but it hears you out.

Velarin explains the situation. The elemental evidently thinks poorly of the idea that you might be close, even if out of sight, to your doppelgängers. Its advice is (for once) unambiguous.

"Yyooouuuu wwwooouuulllldd rrriiisssskk rreeewwrriiitttiinnngg tthhheee ppaaasstt? Ffooorrr iiddlle cuurriiooooosssiittyyyyy? Aaaarrre yyooouuuu mmmmaaadd? Bbeeeggooonnnnnee! Ddeeeeppaaarrrt! Bbbeefffooorrre yyooouuuu caauuussse ttiiimmme aaannndd ssppaaacce ttoooo wwwaaarrrrrpppp!

There are things Brom understands and things he doesn't. What is going on is confusing to him. His instinct tells him to stay away from the mine, the pit, all of it. He doesn't wish to spy on the place or be within eye or ear shot.

He points out to his large friend that while he couldn't see an invisible minotaur from 100-ft he could most definitely be heard. And it is that risk he doesn't want to take.

Brom only sums up his thoughts on it. "It's happened already. And will happen. Nothing happened when we did it before to make us make the decisions we made so watching it unfold only creates risk."

If the group will not stay clear, Brom heads off into the wilds alone. He cannot take the risk his instincts tell him is bad and forcing them would draw too much attention.

Barratore snorts and spits. "Smells to me like we are trying to have it both ways. It's not idle curiosity it is verification that there is indeed another group of us and that they will emerge down there and then immediately teleport and begin an infinite loop."

There are two things that can happen. Our other selves can either have to act as we have or they are free to act completely independently. If the former, then other selves HAVE to teleport out and go into the past, that is what we did. They will then come back talk to Meagos and do precisely what we have just done down to this conversation. If so, there is an infinite loop and our lucky friend here, the time elemental, gets to enjoy this conversation every 2 days." he looks over at the creature, "You enjoy that, I'm sure it'll never get old and you have to do it because if you don't, paradox or whatever." Barratore waves him off

"Oh and bonus. We have a nearly permanent guard here as every 2 days, we will effectively be here."

"If our other selves do not have to act as we do, we can never go home or anywhere familiar ever again because they surely will and, 'Ta-Da', Paradox. Or worse yet, If they teleport from the pit and the time shift is not predetermined and they bounce forward making us the other selves, paradox. of Course even if we do watch them go, we don't know and can't know really about the time shift and so if bumping into ourselves is time ending and all..." Barratore pauses as Brom exits and shrugs the rest of his sentence.

"I'm off to the southern continent." Barratore scoots after Brom. He had heard some good tales of glory from the south and so it wasn't so bad. He would have to leave his name and clan behind, that would be the hardest part...

A thought comes to Brom's mind as he starts to head off. "I think we've started an endless cycle. The group behind us will most likely repeat the same things we did going back in time but their current selves will be the as our ahead in time selves. This will repeat until fate changes something. So we've created something that must now be fixed."

Emrys gives a sigh of relief ... having realized he's been holding his breath. He gives a nod to the Time Elemental before leaving with this friends. The idea of getting so close to causing the paradox has caused his hands to shake. The weight of the situation weighs heavy on this nerves and he is eternally grateful they are finally on the move.

Barratore walks along outside and agrees with Brom, "That is what I see. There is an endless loop and another us 2 days behind us, always. If we stay in the same place for any longer than 2 days, the other us will show up."

Barratore has no solution to the issue, other than to always be on the move "But i want to put as much distance from those i love and care for as I can, so when I catch myself the regional effect will have minimal impact to the noble races. For me, that is the southern continent."

Some in the party have fears -- although both Emrys and the Time Elemental seem to think that the loop will end without repetition. Time will tell.

The party leaves the area, presumably to lay low. A retreat to the Culverwood has been discussed, as well as the use of a mage's mansion. What exactly are your plans, and do you still have the goal of purifying or cleansing this village of the taint of hatred that has infected it?

Or will our heroes reboot their adventures far away in the Southern Continent?

[OOC: Honestly, heading off in a random direction, such as to the Southern Continent, while not something your DM has expected, is perfectly fine! I love the idea that the Wold is your sandbox, and what you are inspired to do is A-OK!]

All the really smart and learned types seem to think everything will be fine now and Barratore is ready to go. The group was going to attempt to bless, sanctify or otherwise assist the natural Wold with reclaiming itself and purging the evil influences that linger.

"Far as I know we don't have magic like that though, do we? That is all on You three." Barratore gestures to Tishe V and Emrys

"No Offence Em, but going to hang out with your dad is not really high on my list. I currently have a heck of a headache and a powerful need to smite some evil. No need to hang in the Mansion, I was only thinking that to see if other us existed and all that. If we're going to do some evil land festering purge stuff, we should sweep through the villages as a start. Get a lay of things, sweep through the mine on our way out, see if anything is alive and if not, give it a good collapsing. Meagoes said he wouldn't but we should make this place hard to get into."

The party moves off, out of line of sight of the mine, and discusses the next few days.

Now there are only one set of you in the present instant, so you are safe and no longer in danger of walking into your past selves. Whew.

You talk about purifying the land, but who in the party can do such a thing? And how?

"Between Emrys and I, we could probably cast most every spell there is. Unfortunately however, I know of no spell that would cleanse an entire large area. There is a cleric spell called Hallow that makes an area holy, but it's expensive and covers a relatively small area. The best we could probably do is ask Emrys to detect evil around the villages and see if he can find something that's a source of bad mojo. Other than that, I believe the cleansing will need to be by hand. Unless anyone has a bright idea?"

The collapsing might have to wait until tomorrow though. I didn't prepare a lot of disintegrates and elemental summoning spells for Maegos"

On the way through the mine, especially near the lake, Barratore pays special attention to the structure of the mines and caves for weak points that would aid in a large scale collapse.

If the mines are empty now of the orcs, they were not doing well last the party saw, Barratore poses not collapsing the entrance, but just multiple deeper access points. "Let the villages have the resources the mine can provide, but take steps to prevent deeper penetration as well as taking out the obelisk and the glyphs that lead you look for the glyph."

As the party plans and surveys the mine, Emrys pipes in on several observances and opinions.

"The more I think of it, caving in the mine won't do anything to help the surrounding lands. The act would be no different than sweeping dust under the rug. It will only allow a false sense of security. This Cavern of Time, a shrine of the Tucre, will remain a font of immense power that will continue to influence the surroundings. Maybe the better course is to get the Pitchfork Council involved so that the mine can be maintained and studied. What could be learned is immeasurable."

"As for removing the corruption from the land, there are many spells that can help. Velarin mentions several good ones. How about we commission several shrines, stone circles and a grove to Culverwood. Holy and Hallowed Ground works very well at influencing the land around them. I could bless the land, but that would only make it more fertile and it will need to be maintained annually."

"Barratore, that is why I recommended going to Culverheart ... I wasn't suggesting a holiday. My father would know a thing or two about how to succeed in this endeavor ... being an Archdruid, a Knight of the Realm and a retired Gold Dragon."

"Those of you who don't possess the gift of magic, don't think you're not an influence. We all carry with us the divine spark, the blood of the Living Wold. The Muse called it a Voice ... a single voice in the Grand Choir. That all our voices are part of the song. I'm not a musician, but I like the way he describes it. It's that spark why the gods crave our worship ... there's power in it. Your presence and good works will bring the change you seek."

Paradoxical Encounter? (DM Cayzle) 
Sunday October 27th, 2019 11:58:57 PM

Velarin suggests a look through the mine, and in fact a sweep shows no occupancy, not even an orc is to be seen. That opens the way for a collapse ...

Barratore suggests closing access to the deeper areas, but allowing the mine to remain functional, seeing as others might use it for their livelihood.

Lanliss suggests seeking help, perhaps among the Star Mages, or from a druid.

Edson agrees that seeking outside help is a good idea.

Emrys agrees as well, and that makes a good enough consensus!

Over the next week, if the DM may be excused for advancing the action, you use your magic to seal off the deeper and more dangerous parts of the mine, so that the Time Temple is no longer accessible. You also get rid of the obelisk, most likely with a couple well-placed Disintegrates. You sense that the guild researchers are not entirely pleased, but they do not actually object. In your earshot.

You seek out a high-level druid, who is pleased to bless the area and agree to come back every year for four more years to do the same. Please mark off six grand gold for the service.

You keep the Pitchfork Council up to date, and Dulcet herself suggests sowing the blessed ash of Mount Glitterox over the area. After all, that's what keeps the Cinnamon Valley so blessed. That might prove a slightly greater challenge, so your DM will not assume it done, but see what you do with the suggestion.

Note: There is some talk of loot. I believe all has been resolved except for the telepathy spikes and the wish-orbs. You would need to find a private NPC buyer for those, probably among the rulership of a small country or among the wealthy of a large city. You have not indicted that you wish to sell these unique items yet.

The paradox seems to have avoided.

The spikes - Brom doesn't plan on nailing anything into his skull. They'll be permanent and you'll be dead. That's his opinion.

There is talk of land purification, which is all beyond the young barbarian. Magic is not barbarian and big magic even less so. But a trip to Culverwood would be a nice change of pace and some place Brom had never been.

He does ask V to put a teleport spell in his ring. While things are decided, Brom wants to do a patrol around the valley.

Paradoxical Encounter? (DM Cayzle) 
Monday October 28th, 2019 10:56:00 PM

Velarin takes the time to do a deeper analysis of Maegos's Armor. It is the equivalent of +6 magical full plate. Yes, your DM typed "+6"! However, you determine that its primary magic is that if Maegos dies, this armor restores him while circumventing the power of Gargul to determine one's fate after death. If you destroy this armor, then Maegos will not be able to come back from death.

Moreover, you determine -- now that you are outside the demiplane -- that the magic that allows Maegos to evade Gargul's judgement is very evil in alignment.

Tishe' suggests destroying the armor and keeping the wish-stones and the telepaspikes.

Brom makes it clear that he will not be spiking his own head any time soon. He would not mind a change of scenery, though. Maybe the Culverwood?

You resolve to disintegrate the armor, and Velarin does so. It is no more.

Edson and Lanliss want to sell the spikes. That triggers a deeper look at them, especially vs permanent telepathic links.

The spikes are NOT evil. Note that they are a very useful item ... every person linked to one can use telepathy to communicate with every other person linked to one. That's just like the Telepathic Bond spell - it links all those affected so that they can have conversations.

The Telepathic Bond spell make lasting with Permanency only links two people. Even cast multiple times, if only links two each time. Unlike the spell cast alone, there is no group conversation possible, just pairs of people.

As for Barratore, he is okay with destroying the spikes and keeping the wishes.

All this talk of wishes and magic items may possibly prompt some deeper introspection ...

If you make a Know Arcana check vs DC20, then Highlight to display spoiler: {You can use a wish to alter magic items.}

If you make a Know Arcana check vs DC29, then Highlight to display spoiler: {You could use a wish to change the telepaspikes so that they function on POSSESSION, not IMPLANTATION.}

If you make a Know Arcana check vs DC25, then Highlight to display spoiler: {Heck, you could use a wish to find the name and location of the person who would give you the best price for the telepaspikes.}

Tishe’ keeps involved with all the helpings at the Obelisk and Magpie Crossing. She can’t Disintegrate, and she’s not a trained diplomat, but she tries to talk to the villages after the obelisk destruction. The compulsion is gone, she tells them, but it will take hard work in changing past patterns. On the good news, the evil magic is gone and gives everyone the chance to make their own decisions for their own lives.

"Whatever you guys choose. Im cool with it. Sell them, use them, wish them away... whatever works for us all. As for the armor.. can we send them to another plane. Like a good plane where angels and like live? Somewhere no evil will go?"

[OOC: Discussion of the armor is moot. It is destroyed, per yesterday's DM Post.]

Tishe' does the hard work of talking with the locals. That's not easy because as a cluster of villages recently ruled by the Dread, the people here tend to resist authority or cower in fear. Those negative emotions will need to be unlearned, and you heroes have done a good bit of the job toward shifting things that way. Now it will take time.

Velarin explains the minutia of magic, and suggests using a wish to fix the Telepaspikes so that they work if you just have one on you, in a pocket, not lodges in your brain.

Easy-going Edson is happy to go with the flow.

Lanliss asks, what to do next? Use a wish on the Telepaspikes? Think of way to sprinkle several tons of volcanic dust over the area? Declare victory and go home? Enjoy some R&R, shopping, training, or other down time?

Tishe’ fawns over Velarin and tells him how magnificent he was in solving the Maegos ‘gift’ using the Kalesandria ‘prizes’. “That is some shady picks as good as Trellus could ever do”, she tells the wizard sincerely.

The Spellweaver is all for destroying the armor for all the reasons Lanliss says. “ That will take a wish. Then we use the second wish for altering the spikes that become a tattoo of a spike when laid on the skin instead of implementation. That will take a wish. Then we wish that each time Glitterrox erupts, it also covers the Mine and Villages area to help heal that land, and that’s our third wish. All three weave the tassels for this tapestry, and we call this a job well done.” Unsaid is that this solution also dismantled arguments on who-gets-a-wish.

She looks to the other Keepers for at least a majority agreement.

(ooc: V already disintegrated the armor. DM post 10/29)

V graciously accepts Tishe's compliments, and then returns the favor, completely agreeing with the brilliant idea of using two wishes to make the telepaspikes tattoos that still function as intended, and the glitterox erupt over this area.

"That will give us group telepathy, and leave one wish orb remaining for emergencies that we should put in the hands of someone not named Emrys or Velarin, as we can already pull it off if needed.

"youre right Lanliss... thats why we pay you the big bucks" Edson jokes to his friend. " The tattoos is a good idea, plus think how nice it'll be, with me or Lanliss sneaking around and being able to tell you what we see without speaking. It'll make our lives much easier."

"Excellent, that sounds like an exceptional plan," he says in all sincerity. He realizes that he will need to have better control of his thoughts. Daemon listening in has been awkward enough at times. He doesn't wish to give the others nightmares..

With a little thought, two wishes are made.

First, the blessings of Glitterox will now fall on this area.

And each of you now has a tattoo. Please add this to your PC sheets:

Tattoo of Telepathy: The bearer of this magical tattoo can communicate telepathically with any other bearers of the identical tattoo, across any distance. Value of this fate item: 70,000 gp.

Tishe’ places her tattoo spike on her left shoulder, excited not because it is more power but for what the Keepers can do to help people better with them.

Back at Magpie Crossing, she continues her habit of wandering the town and countryside and helping anyone who needs it; a friendly greeting, a bit of magic, or a helping hand depending on the person’s wishes.

V places his tattoo on his right forearm. Once everyone is together and relaxed, he will stand and speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Now that we have unlimited communication, I would like to make a proposal. Any one of us is capable of doing what a hundred men can not, by spell, or strength, or stealth, we are the best this land has to offer. These abilities we have earned by hard work, and strength of character, and very few beings are able to achieve this level of power, no matter how bad they would like to. Let us use this power to give back to all the people of the Wold who cannot fight for themselves."

" Let us first throw a party in the Vale to thank those who gave us a home, and made us welcome. Then, let us split up and wander to the corners of the Wold, and seek out evil wherever it may hide. Now that we can communicate with one another, over any distance, should any of us find a significant threat, the rest of us are a thought away. As much as i would like to sit in my study, and drink a magnificent Elvish wine for the years to come.... I feel as if a debt needs to be paid to the gods and to fate.

“Only issue I see with that plan is that you are the only one that can teleport V. If I’m stomping through the Scab and you need me in the Emerald Kingdom, I’m weeks away. And if we are all spread out how do we all get back together quickly. I do like the idea of moving on. We could use the WLA to get some rumor info on where the best places might be. “

Barratore will do just that spend some time at the WLA to work the network and what is going on about the Wold

Edson gets his tattoo on his left pectoral muscle. He heads back, listening to Velarin's proclamation.

" split up.. why? The lot of us can take anyone on.. lets go clean the planes of demons. "

Tishe’ looks worried at Edson. “Clear the planes... by the Powers! Let’s not go borrowing trouble, sweetie. It is enough for me to know that people are able to weave their own tapestries and making their own picks in peace.”

“As for temporarily splitting to pursue our own threads, it’s not completely sunbaked, but I”ll stay within a day’s walk of Creasant Valley.”

Tishe’ also makes many visits to the WLA at Jarlswolf, visits Witchspawn and Merrydale, and the crofters and farmers in between. Well, you know, besides Magpie Crossing and environs....

A Well-Earned Respite (DM Cayzle) 
Monday November 4th, 2019 5:07:31 AM

Mission accomplished, our heroes take the chance for a small breather. Tishe' spends some time visiting with the people of the Cinnamon Valley. Pretty much everybody knows her, and she is greeted with smiles and handshakes everywhere she goes.

Velarin proposes throwing a party here ... and then moving about the wider Wold, wherever their talents are needed. Maybe even splitting up, since these new tattoos allow for instant communication.

Edson is not sure he sees a reason to split up, when the group is more potent collected together. He seems pretty confident in the group's ability to face down any threat.

Barratore is open to the idea of seeking out even more heroic deeds, but why split up? In the meantime, he hoofs it over to Jarlsworf to visit the WLA chapterhouse. The adminstrator of the post, Hmartin, is well known to you, and he immediately drops his other business (mostly furniture making) to have a sit-down with Barratore [and any others of the party who may have come too. I think Tishe', Brom, and Edson are members?]

He has heard word from the Pitchfork Council about your news in the Dread. Well, the former Dread. "Probably we need a new name for our northern neighbor," he says. He asks about the final resolution, and declares the wish magic to extend Glitterox's reach is genius.

Barratore asks about what's going on in the Wold. Hmartin tells you about some news he has heard ...

"There was an invasion of giants into the halfling lands between New Elenna and the Scab," he says. "I hear there was a pitched battle, but the halflings used their magic towers to pulverize the giants, like they did in the past."

"Speaking of the Scab, I hear there's a dragon making trouble up that way, and the Wardens of the southeast Culverwood have gone off to deal with it."

"Usually we chapter houses get news from each other on the regular, but it's been super quiet up north on the coast. I thought about sending word to the Sea Dragons, who so far as I can figure are sitting on their laurels and commissioning trading cards of themselves, I hear. You didn't get that story from me, but some folks just let this Dragon stuff go right to their heads. Trading cards!"

"Eh, you are right Barratore. I'd skipped over the fact that I'm the only teleporter. Emrys can wind walk, But it would still cause problems. So after a little R&R, where to? Wander up the coast and check in on the lands of the sea dragons? Give the Wardens of the Culverwood some back up?"

"I really have no need for visiting the catacombs. Between the wish gems and stoneskin components, my available resources have diminished of late. But I can't think of anything I'm really needing, so no biggie there."

"I have several teleports and multiple types of expeditious travel. Word of Recall has an unlimited range, will allow multiple travelers and return you back to our sanctuary instantaneously. Then there is Wind Walking, Shadow Walking and the like. Which is your favorite flavor? We all have Spell Rings don't we?"

(Emrys had applied this tattoo to his forearm as well.)

"Should I help these halflings? Or maybe go to see the sea dragon s?", Lanliss thinks for a moment.
He throws a coin in the air.
First choice Halflings.
Second choice Sea dragons.
Lanliss says aloud, hoping to get some attention to his idea.

After seeing the result.

Lanliss looks at Hmartin and explains.
"I just throw this coin and it tells me to go North..."
Lanliss explains...
"So tell me more about the cards....are they magical? Is it some sort of a game?", Lanliss asks Hmartin in a voice with a hint of humor.

Tishe’ listens to Hmartin as she does her WLA exercises. “It sounds like the giants and dragon-making are being dealt with, although dragon-Making sounds very dangerous and maybe we should look into that.

And I’m sure the Sea Dragons have their own priorities that aren’t statues and lunchboxes,” she says with a smile. “But don’t they live in the islands south of New Elennia? What part of the north coast? Zarthmoor, that Swamp place, the Windborne Hills, or the Scab. There is a lot of ‘north coast’ to the Elennian Penninsula!”
