I look around and see Tink up in the crow's nest and Sesha on her broom and am relieved to see someone from our party where they can keep an eye out for danger. Seeing that they have things under control I allow myself to be guided from party to party to listen to the various parties tell their tales. I do my best to keep an ear out for anything related to our quest or the wind.
DM Mitch Monday April 9th, 2018 6:33:49 AM Tink grins at Hilgrace, reflecting that a child’s head should be in the clouds and on the future but should not be counted on as the sole lookout. She is relieved to notice other lookouts at strategic points of the gathering. She then enjoys the peace and quiet of the crow’s nest.
Restlin has spent many an evening in company worse than this. He figures it’s a fitting end to the day they’ve had and resists the urge to make himself the center of attention when the tales are being told. He’s curious to see how Tink will interact with the girl in the crow’s nest.
Garret tells Wyaar he thinks he might be related but he’s still gathering food errr information. The halfling enjoys the stories and company of his potentially distantly related kin and eventually when he’s had his fill of food and stories he loosens his rope belt, lets loose a loud belch and grins from ear to ear.
Sesha takes to the air on her broom looking for other threats after having eaten some of the feast. Aside from 2 reptilian creatures giving the gathering of Iron Dragons and halflings a wide berth their don’t seem to be any threats in the area.
Beri grabs a pint of ale and joins in the conversation hoping to glean something useful. Beri’s hears of rapkes and tall men some creatures native to the Sargrass. A particularly old halfling woman tells a tale of queen ma’ab taking powerful items and suspending them in case of future need. Supposedly many ventured in search of these items for their own gain only to find their own ruin. Perhaps the first wind is one of these items that Ma’ab hid away? If so how many souls were ruined looking for it before you.
Zane leaves the girl to her watching, and sets out to find the captain. Zane learns that the job of captaining the Grasshopper rotates between the elders of the tribe. Right now it is Gopher’s turn to captain the ship. “What can I do for you?” Gopher asks Zane.
Bosk is relieved to see Sesha and Tink keeping watch so he goes around the party socializing. (OOC: Make a DC 15 Diplomacy check to gather information)
The party continues further into the morning.

She looks over Hilgrace more closely to see if she shows any signs of being injured, scars from previous injuries, and basically trying to get a feel for the girl's health. She isn't planning to judge the family or their care for the girl - simply get a feel for how hazardous a life she leads.

Garret rolls out of his chair and looks for a nice, comfortable pile of rope. As he reclines, he hears Restlin mumble something about moving on. He starts to reply, but instead decides that it is nap time...

Zane speaks with Gopher, quietly. "I assume that you keep lookouts. At least that what I think that girl up in the Crows Nest does. I just hope that you keep more than one, heaping the responsibility for your entire families safety on one so young will most likely stunt her growth into a great look out. I'd recommend keeping to one hour shifts, it'll keep their attention on watching for dangers, rather than daydreaming. I know when I was a youth, everything else other than what I was supposed to be doing drew my attention. But then again, Garin, my primary teacher at the monastery, cured me of it, but since I'm 3 times the size of any of your family, I wouldn't recommend letting a yearling hippo try to eat your learning guard. I believe Garin said, "If you see it coming, it's less likely to chew your arm off." I paid a lot closer attention after that."

Beri listens to the old halfling woman's tale with, eyes wide and soaking in every detail. I fear that the day Maab forsaw has indeed come at last. Did the tales include any details on what befell the poor souls who went to find these items? Was it their selfish desires that lead to their ruin, or do the tales tell of guards protecting the items Maab has suspended?

DM Mitch Tuesday April 10th, 2018 5:34:12 AM Tink points out a cloud that looks like Garret and then tries to gauge how hazardous is life the Sargrass is. Hilgrace seems like a hale halfling lass. She doesn’t seem to be suffering from any lingering injuries but you literally saw Greta bring people back from the dead so what trouble would be a broken bone be?
Restlin tries to nudge the others over the link that it is time to move on.
Garret ignores this suggestion and curls up amidst some ropes for a nap.
Zane expresses concern over the lookout situation amidst the clan to Gopher. Gopher listens politely and then says, “Hilgrace, is not our only sentry. I’ve posted lookouts there, there, there and there in addition to her.” He moves his hand indicating where the lookouts are and from Zane’s experience the placement seems like a sound one. “Rapke’s are probably fiercer than a hippo and we teach our warriors in training to respect the threats they pose.”
Beri listens intently to the old halfling’s tale. He theorizes that the day Ma’ab foresaw has come and asks what fate befell those who went to look for the items and if the cause was their greed or some guard.
She tells Beri that accordingly to legend magic, traps and guardians were used to protect the suspended items. However, it was said that some traps could sense the intentions of those approaching the item. The monks of the crystal mountain sought out the items so that they alone would be able to dictate how the items could be used. They sent a delegation to one of the rumored sites and no one ever heard from them again. They even hired their own spellcaster mercenaries in case magic was needed, 2 powerful magicians who drew upon the power of fire and ice. Whatever fate befell them even magic couldn’t save them not one of the 6 monks nor their two mages were ever seen alive again.
Bosk offers to take late watch and then tries to make small talk and gather additional information. Bosk hears that supposedly one of the sites where Ma’ab suspended an item is supposedly in a valley between 2 hills decorated with large stones bearing runes and wind chimes suspended by rope. He also hears rumors of powerful spell casters existing who have figured out a way to subvert the power of the blood grass to grant themselves unnaturally long life and additional power. He isn’t sure if the latter is real or something to scare children with but the first bit of information could be promising.
The food is mostly consumed and the flow of stories is finally starting to slow. Greta interrupts Gopher’s chat with Zane. ”It’s time. she tells him. Nodding and excusing himself, he advances to the front of the ship to look down at the party now winding down.
”Brothers, sisters.” he calls out loudly. Immediately everyone turns their attention to him. ”We have feasted in honor of the fallen and told tales of remembrance of their time on the Wold. Now is the time to see them off on their journey in the next world and go our separate ways.”
Gopher and Geta lead the gathered halflings and Dragons to a pyre’s made of grass. The structures were made with great skill, using several varieties of grass from the plains to make a structure capable of cradling the deceased. There are nearly a dozen dead, perhaps a quarter of Gopher’s clan. From the shocked, sorrowful expressions on many faces it’s evident that until now the full impact of the morning’s events only just now hit for many.
Gopher himself makes no effort to hide his emotions. Tears flow freely down his face as he speaks. ”We have lost many of our number this day. Life on the plains has always been perilous, but rarely have we seen so much tragedy in so short a time. All of us have lost brothers, sisters, children, and friends.” Momentarily overcome, he closes his eyes and bows his head. Looking up, he turns to the dragons. ”Only through the help of Maab’s chosen have we survived this hardship. We all thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Without you, many more would have perished.” He nods his thanks to the dragons and a mutter of other thankful comments comes from the crowd.
He signals another halfling, standing nearby with a torch. With proper solemnity the torch bearer advances and sets one, then the other pyre alite. Greta and the other seer, just behind and to either side of Gopher, start muttering and making small motions, causing a breeze to blow across the pyres and lift the ashes aloft. Knowledge, Arcane DC 23 Highlight to display spoiler: { It’s some variation of Gust of Wind or Wind Wall, providing a sustained breeze. Probably a local spell designed to keep sails full on still days.}
”We now free our family from their worldly forms. May their ashes scatter to the four corners of the plains so that their spirits may journey always across their home as they did in life.”

Tink stays silent to show reverence for the fallen. There is nothing she can add to convey her sympathy for the families, nor help the sorrow they all must feel.
She lays a hand on Hilgrace's shoulder to help give her strength.
It's a somber moment that she doesn't wish to interrupt.

Garret wakes up when he hears the announcement and stands with the others. He heads to the rails of the ship to watch and carefully looks at others to see what he is supposed to do. When the others stand reverently, he stands as well, trying to look the part as best as he can. When they mention heading their separate ways, Garret carefully looks over the now-smaller clan. He seriously considers staying with them, with his own people, knowing he can help them. He thinks about it and realizes that his duty is with the dragons now and he prepares to leave once again.

Beri listens as the old lady tells her tale. Spells of fire and ice, could that mean that they learned something indicating that those spell would be needed, or does that mean that those spells were ineffective against whatever the were up against.
The druid watches in sadness as the funeral pyres are lit. They were able to save many, but still many had fallen this day, and after spending the night hearing their stories he feels almost as if he had known them himself.

After the ceremonies I approach Gopher. I must thank you for including us in today's ceremonies. As a cleric if the god of life and death I am often called upon to help in such situations when no other is available. This is the first time I have seen this particular ceremony, and I greatly value this experience. If it is not asking too much, could you teach me this spell or sell me some scrolls or something callable if casting it?

DM Mitch d20+1=19 ; Wednesday April 11th, 2018 7:36:10 AM Tink remains silent to show reverence for the fallen. She lays a hand on Hilgrace to lend her strength. She also compliments Zane on his thinking.
Restlin stands next to the Sesha during the ceremony and then tells everyone it is time to go their separate ways.
Wyaar remains silent and then says we need to be off.
Garret wakes up and stands with the others. He considers staying with the clan of halflings he’s distantly related to but decides his duty is with the Dragons.
Zane tells the captain it is good to know they are well sentried and when the wind is stirred up later he suggests they inquire about the spell used as part of the ceremony to help with the wind.
Sesha gives Restlin’s hand a squeeze and posits over the ring that whatever they may face may not be susceptible to fire or ice. Sesha points out that a witch doesn’t have the ability to learn other’s magic but if they can get her a scroll she could probably make it work.
Beri also ponders the bit about the mages with fire and ice abilities and wonders if they would need those abilities too or if those abilities proved ineffective against whatever the group faced. He watches in sadness as the pyres are lit as they did manage to save some of the halflings but not all of them.
Bosk thanks Gopher for allowing him to see the ceremony and asks if he can be taught the spell they used or given a scroll.
Gopher is a little surprised at Bosk’s request. ”Sure, I don’t see why not. Do you need any provisions? We have spare supplies.” He hesitates, then adds, ”If you need a way to cross the plains easily we could give you a boat. We have a couple of smaller ones for scouting and short outings.” Sense Motive vs DC 19 Highlight to display spoiler: { he seems pretty reluctant to offer the boat and probably is only doing so because he feels obligated to.}
Greta, who had listened to the conversation, goes to the ship and disappears inside, returning shortly with two of the requested scrolls.

I appreciate your offer of a boat however we already have powerful magic that allows us to travel quite quickly." Tink tries to be polite in declining Gopher's offer. She doesn't want him to lose face in front of his clan.
"Hold your horses Restlin. We'll be gone soon enough. I want to see if they have anything that may further help us."
She is curious about the supplies. These halfling obviously have ways to make scrolls and Tink is interested in scroll scribing materials - specifically to copy this new spell into her book. Why rely solely on scrolls when she can memorise it herself, and who doesn't want to learn new spells? Tink doesn't want to hold the party up too much but the chance for knowledge should not be passed up.

As the Captain offers a small boat for the group to borrow, Zane laughs, and it's a belly laugh. "Captain, putting one 'Taur in a dingy would be bad enough, but two of us? Are you wanting us to sail across the Sargrass or plow a furrow through the Sargrass. I think I can speak for us when I say we'll pass on your offer, but we do appreciate it though. There aren't many who'd offer something that I imagine is hard to come by out here." Zane says after he's stopped chuckling....

While one of the boats being offered probably wouldn't be the best method of travel for party, the druid can't help but miss their sentient ship back home. It could fly over the grass, and was able to defend itself in battle, at least to some degree.
Oh, I do have one more question, what would be the nearest settlement from here? I want to make sure we have our bearings straight for when we finish up our task.

With Restlin and Tink chomping at the bit to learn a new spell, Sesha is fine with leaving them to the management of that particular task.
As for herself, she is starting to also feel the weight of their task urging her to action. She makes her thoughts known through their dragon consortium rings. "We probably shouldn't dally here much longer."

I thank Gopher and Greta for the scrolls, but turn down the offer for the boat. Thank you for offering to loan us a boat, it is very generous of you. However, we have other means of magical travel that we are more familiar with and which I think would suit us better in our task. The only other thing I can think to ask is if you have any idea what my might expect to encounter traveling this way. I say point in the direction of our expected travel. Any dangers we might wish avoid or landmarks we should keep an eye out for?
Over the ring I add, If any of you can transcribe these scrolls, I think it would be a good idea to learn it or at least make more copies. ooc: Can clerics learn this spell? It appears to be used in death rituals and is a derivation of Windwall which is a cleric spell. If so, I would like to add it to my spell list and likely prepare it in the morning depending on the level.
DM Mitch Thursday April 12th, 2018 7:23:14 AM
Tink thanks the halfling for his generosity but declines the offer of a boat. She then tells Restlin to be more patient.
Next she examines the scroll more closely. The paper is a light purple color, light enough that it’s easy to read whatever is written on it. It’s rather thicker and a bit heavier than normal parchment. The runes on it are spidery and intricate, unfamiliar to any you’ve seen (Knowledge: Arcana or Spellcraft DC 28 to decipher that it actually does: Highlight to display spoiler: { The spell creates a sustained wind for duration of concentration. The wind is strong enough to fill the sails of a ship, but stay in a fixed position set by the caster at the time of casting and cannot be used to deflect projectiles or flying enemies. Concentration checks start at DC 10, occuring once every five minutes, but go up by 2 every check. The direction of the wind can be altered, but that increased the next check by 5 instead of 2. The spell is of a magical discipline you are unfamiliar with and cannot be learned by any other class.}
Wyarr accepts some meats and wonders if they should windwalk or just do regular flight.
Garret wanders around a little and gets lost in thought.
Restlin uggs at the delay, but is interested in copying the spell himself (Feel free to take a crack at the spellcraft/arcana check too)
Zane laughs at the thought of the party trying to fit in a tiny dingy.
Beri knows that they don’t really need the offered boat, but it makes him miss the dragon’s actual boat. He asks about the nearest settlement and is told that it’s two weeks away and further west; that’s two weeks by sailing ship.
Sesha lets Restlin and Tink handle the spell and begins to worry about their own task.
Bosk wonders if clerics can learn the spell and asks about the road ahead.
Gopher scowls at Zane’s laughter and waves to a fairly large boat hanging from some pulleys on the side of the ship. Far from a tiny rowboat, it seems to be a sleek, serviceable boat fully capable of holding a large party. ”We can hardly send a dingy to retrieve downed trees for wood or carry a whole pack of us to town for supplies, nor would I make such a useless offer.” Tinks polite decline softens the edge of his scowl slightly, though he’s still clearly upset in general by the recent events. ”Enough. We need to get going before more of those things show up and kill more of my family. Thank you for all of the help, and may the gods bless your quest.”
The halflings quickly bring out the requested supplies to the shields and lift off. Their ship soars elegantly and quickly, vanishing into the distance.
WIth the halflings gone nothing prevents the Dragons from quickly packing their own things and resuming the journey west. Soon after they start moving again they see some hills in the distance. As they get closer it becomes evident that they’re more like very small mountains, tall, imposing, and stony. Very little grows on the rocky surfaces jutting out of the flat plains. They almost lean into each other, not quite towards the top.
The hills seem to be positioned in such a way that they catch the wind between them, causing a stiff breeze to constantly blow through the narrow entrance. The party can hear the howling of it from a good distance away, leading them right to it. Large stones flank either side, covered in long-faded runes, with ropes stretching overhead covered in small chimes that jingle and sing in the breeze. The sun, near noon now, shines directly down into the channel, lighting up the scene.
Does the party dare advance, or rest first and regain lost strength and used spells?

Restlin looks at the scroll. He tries reading it backwards, then upside down...he can tell it does something, but he also knows the discipline behind casting it is not one he shares.
"Well, it's magic, but not my kinda magic...and I do two kinds, so that's a big deal. A more studious wizard would find this fascinating, but that's not me."
He claps Zane on the back while heading back to Sesha's side. "Now that we've got the obligatory 'Iron Dragons Alienation Protocol' out of the way, let's go..."

Garret flies along with the others, quiet except for the occasional burp from the massive meal. When the windly areas is spotted he says over the rings, "Well, that looks like as good a place as any to find a wind. Anyone have a box to put it in?"

The druid looks at the path before them. Mountains... stone... lifeless... I think the real question is do we want to rest and prepare new spells first? Those exploding crystal golems, or whatever they were, are pretty formidable. If there is an even larger variety hiding in the mountains we will want to be ready.
DM Mitch Friday April 13th, 2018 6:32:08 AM Restlin tries reading the scroll every which way but loose and says it is magic but it isn’t his magic and a more studious wizard might find it interesting but not him. He then claps Zane on the back and says it is time to move on since they got the Iron Dragons Alienation protocol out of the way.
Zane suggests the halfling was looking for a way to be insulted and has an oh well attitude about it.
Garret flies along w/ the others burping occasionally. When they spot the hills and the entrance he says that looks like a good place to find a wind and asks if anyone has a box.
Wyaar theorizes they could have someone try to inhale wind the wind comes at them and them cast a spell where they don’t need to breathe afterward. He then asks if anyone wants to rest.
Beri suggests the real question is if they want to rest considering the golems were formidable and if there are even larger versions they should probably be ready.
The party debates the pro’s and con’s of resting and tries to decide what to do.

Garret says, "I'm glad Restlin is ready." He looks over at Sesha and continues, "Do we have any healing capacity at the moment?"
Sesha [AC 35 /23 To/35 Fl] | HP 109/129 | CMD 33] Friday April 13th, 2018 6:14:57 PM
"We do. A few stronger ones and plenty of items and smaller spells. I could heal us through another conflict of similar scope as before. Other than that, I don't have much that even affected the golems."
She pokes Restlin.
"Want to share some of your damage spells? I haven't leeched any magic from you today."

My only concern are the ones that we prepare each morning. I wouldn't want to be mid battle and drop out of the sky"
By Tink's reckoning (and the DMs email) the party have been travelling for close to 12 hours now. Pushing ahead would certainly be a drain on running spells as well as the will to push on through a forced march and potential effects from loss of sleep.
The more she thinks about it the more she wants to have an 8hr rest.
Beriothian -- AC:38/18/36 HP: 247/231 CMD = 23 Friday April 13th, 2018 10:43:20 PM
The druid shakes his head. I have a good amount of spells left, but the fate of the Wold is in our hands. Do we dare advance, or rest first and regain lost strength and used spells? I can't help but feel this isn't the time to be cavalier and charge in. It's almost as if there is a higher power whispering in our ears on this one... when that happens, only fools don't listen.
Sesha [AC 35 /23 To/35 Fl] | HP 109/129 | CMD 33] Saturday April 14th, 2018 7:35:01 PM
Sesha finally finds herself with an opinion.
"Rest, if available, is worth taking."

DM Mitch Monday April 16th, 2018 7:29:46 AM Restlin says he has a bunch of spells ready and is at 50 percent capacity so he feels they can press on.
Wyaar asks if that means they should press on. He is fine going with what the spell slingers want.
Zane just says “whichever.”
Garret says he’s glad Restlin is ready and then asks how they are set on healing capacity.
Sesha tells Garret they do in the form of stronger spells and magic items. She points out she doesn’t has much that affects the golems and asks Restlin if he wants to share some of his spells. She eventually comes to the conclusion that rest if available is worth having.
Tink says she held back last combat to have spells left but she’s worried about their daily spells. She decides that the more she thinks about the more she wants to have an 8 hour rest.
Beri shakes his head and says he has plenty of spells but do they want to take the chance of not resting with the Fate of the Wold on their hands.
Bosk agrees with Beri that they should rest if the fate of the Wold is in their hands.
The Dragons rest, taking similar precautions to earlier (Please list buffs and stuff you cast after rest in your post so we can track).
Fully recharged and ready for (hopefully) anything, the Dragons head into the passage, It’s about 300 feet long. At the end it opens up into a wide open area that forms a perfect circle. Unlike the narrow, dark passage the area is full of sun, a stark contrast to the grey stone that makes up the area. It’s about 100 feet wide, and at the center rests a 50 foot double ritual circle formed of standing stones, each draped with those same ropes and chimes that sing in the wind, dark marble pathways connecting them all. 8 stones make up the outer edge, while 4 make up the smaller one. In the center of the circle stands a swirling vortex of energy (Knowledge: Arcana DC 27 Highlight to display spoiler: { It’s a Forcecage}).
There is one sign of life in the bleak area. Against the far wall sits a large mound topped with an overgrown building of some kind. It’s hard to tell from all the vines and grass covering it, but it probably provided living space for whoever cared for the shrine in the past, though it’s now long abandoned. It would be picturesque if not for the fact that all the plants are the familiar blood red of corrupted blood grass.

As part of her morning prep Tink changes a few of her memorised spells around and casts/changes her Contingency spell.
When the party arrives at the chamber she does a quick look around.
"Force Cage in the middle" Tink relays over the link "See that red grass at the other end? That looks like the stuff that corrupted the creatures by the hooks. We should be careful around it. Perhaps some long range manipulation to poke around it? Mage hands and unseen servants?"
She casts an Unseen Servant spell and directs it to walk across the room towards the red grass and try to uncover whatever lies beneath.
Standard Action: Cast Unseen Servant. Tink casts it 75ft away from her. It then has another 15ft it can move. It will take a straight path forwards across the two circles whilst avoiding the forcecage. Assuming it makes it that should get it right next to the red grass this turn. It will try and clear away the grass to see what is underneath as its standard action.
Move Action: Fly a short distance into the room, blending into the shadows (flying 2ft off the ground)
Spells in effect on Others: Greater Magic Weapon on Garret's fists - Tishe's Weave Elements on Restlin, Zane and Wyarr have a 'Water' version, Bosk a 'Fire' version, Beri and Garret an 'Air' version
Perception: Can automatically see invisible, ethereal, magical auras, and any object/person being scryed upon. Dark Vision & Low Light Vision. Auto check for Secret Doors with 5ft
Immunities: Immunity to harmful vapors and gases, possession, mental control, spells from the divination school, scrying, bodily contact by evil summoned creatures, and grapples.

"Oh yea, this is going to go smoothly," quips Restlin.
Ritual magic was not really his thing, but he gives the area a once over, trying to make sense of what this setup was.
Knowledge, Arcana: 55 - nat 20! What's all this setup for? Is it protecting something from us? Protecting us from something? What use could those stones have? Any markings mean anything to me?
Sesha [AC 35 /23 To/35 Fl] | HP 146/129 | CMD 33] Monday April 16th, 2018 12:09:26 PM

Zane casts extended Mage Armor as they finish resting.
When they get to the "cavern shrine"
"You said there was a life sign over there somewhere and a force cage in the middle. As well as that there's more of the spreading grass stuff too? What if this in the "home" of the first wind. And that life over there has imprisoned it in the cage to prevent it from preserving the Sargrass and thus the entire Wold by it's touch."
(Sorry for late post, got home from Convention, took 7 hours because of storm, had to wait for plow to make a hill's last 50 feet, so last 1 hour took almost 3 1/2. woke up but my brain is still fried from the weekend.

Beriothian -- AC:38/18/36 HP: 247/231 CMD = 23 Monday April 16th, 2018 10:05:55 PM
Beriothian, being outdoors with open sky, proceeds with the others in his typical air elemental form. He maintains a height where he can still be reached should something crazy happen, but tries to stay high enough to keep line of sight and to make it harder for a splash attack to hit multiple people. He glances up at the hill. If this is one of the items Maab has suspended, I would be hesitant to take on faith that whoever she asked to guard it has left or died of old age. With a little luck, she selected a guardian who can see our hearts and knows we are here to save the Wold and not out of greed. The druid readies a reverse gravity spell in case another horde of the crystal golums show up

DM Mitch Tuesday April 17th, 2018 8:08:15 AM Tink changes her spells around then proceeds to take a look around. She points out the forcecage in the middle and the red grass before summoning an unseen servant and blending in the shadows. The servant tries to dig a hole, but can’t penetrate the tough red grass that covers the mound to reach the soft earth bellow.
Restlin says a sarcastic quip then takes a look at the setup of the valley. It looks like the forcecage was setup to protect something as there are telltale signs of some sort of arcane trap being sprung. There seems to be some relation between the sigils on the chimes and the rocks.
Sesha renews her normal spells and then also examines the stones and the chimes. She concurs w/ Restlin that the symbols are related.
Garret looks over the area and says that it is at least sunny.
Wyaar refreshes his spells after they finish their rest. When they get to the valley h then detects evil. When he gets to the forcecage he can sense 2 distinctly strong evil auras inside of it.
Zane renews his extended mage armor then asks about the sign of life, the forcecage and the grass. He theorizes they could be in the “home” of the first wind and theorizes the life trapped the wind in the forcecage to prevent it from preserving the Sargrass and Wold w/ it’s touch.
Beri turns into an air elemental and thinks that if Maab selected the guardian it is doubtful that left or died of old age. He hopes it can see they are out to save the Wold.
Bosk makes sure everyone is at full health before casting false life on himself. He bows his head prays to Gargul for strength and guidance. He casts greater magic weapon.

Tink cautiously continues her circle around the room. The Unseen Servent keeps poking, prodding, and otherwise trying to move the red grass out of the way.
She is wary of some sort of creature - good or evil - appearing from somewhere.
Tink searches her brain for any sort of detail that may be tucked away that may give a clue to this structure, it's layout, and the symbols upon it.

DM Mitch Wednesday April 18th, 2018 7:02:52 AM Garret nervously flies around looking at the spellcasters. He isn’t sure what is going to happen next nor how he should best prepare.
Wyaar knocks an arrow and then indicates there is evil in the forcecage after activating his holy bond.
Bosk indicates it is decision time where they either let Tink scout or start casting defensive spells. He prefers to let her scout then begin casting after a delay or an update.
Zane asks if haste is wanted now or if they want to wait. He says if they wait it will be the first spell he casts. He then asks if anyone else wants a lesser extend rod.
Beri says he’ll keep a reverse gravity spell ready and examines the writing more closely. Each stone has been covered in magic writing, clearly some complex spellwork, but each also has a single rune carved on it, very large. It seems fairly evident the runes are important and that nothing much is going to happen until the party interacts with the stones in some way.
Restlin states they should assume that they’re going to be in a fight soon.
Tink continues to cautiously circle the room. Her invisible servant prodes ineffectively at the red grass. Perhaps it if had some sort of digging tool it could make progress; then again the grass has proved incredibly resilient before.
The wind howls. The chimes chime. The lonesome, infected hit sits. Everything waits in stillness for something to occur.

With nothing happening (so far) Tink gets a little bolder.
"I'm going to approach the pillar on the west, whilst having the servant try something else" she relays over the link
The servant will keep repeating it's actions until given a new direction, so Tink does just that
"Try and push the stone nearest you" she calls aloud and then blends back into the shadows. She moves closer to the stone on the left/west and looks at it more closely.

Unsure what to do, I cast magic circle against evil on myself. (If there is more time I will also cast resist energy acid, protection from fire, and huge from undead.)
DM Mitch Thursday April 19th, 2018 7:28:18 AM Garret turns his attention to the cage upon hearing it contains evil.
Wyaar waits while Tink and her servant do their thing.
Sesha prepares to summon her own servant if something happens to Tink’s.
Tink indicates she’s going to approach the pillar towards the west while she orders the servant to push the stone nearest it.
Beri suggests interacting with the runes but preparing preemptive spells before touching them.
Restlin asks if this is like a puzzle and then says he isn’t a fan of puzzle.
Zane casts heroism on himself ready to haste the group.
Bosk ponders how to best use his resist and protection from energy spells. (OOC: We are okay w/ having multiple protections)
Upon Tink’s touch, the rune on the stone immediately starts glowing. The glow spreads along the small stone path that connects the nearby stone and those also start glowing. Her servant's touch causes no reaction.

Beriothian -- AC:38/18/36 HP: 248/231 CMD = 23 Thursday April 19th, 2018 9:05:18 PM
The druid thinks about how the stones light up. This reminds me of a tavern game I once played. In that game, the goal was to turn over all the tokens from the black side to the white side, and every time you flip over a token it also flips over all tokens touching it. It's possible the ruins are based on that game... or the other way around. We'll likely know more after our next action.
If we think we need to hit them all at once, let me know and I can summon an elemental swarm to assist.

As the others touch the stones I can protection from for on myself. I do not suppose anyone can read those rune? I never learned them, but I remember tales of others using them to magically secure things. In the stories heroes usually had it set up that if you activated a bad word there would be consequences, less mature casters required you to select the bad word.
Thinking to myself I still cannot believe that thirteen year old girl did not select RAFT as the secret word.

Tink doesn't want to go around touching more stones just yet. She sneaks back to the wall and waits to see what happens now with other stones being touched. Her unseen servant keeps up it's mindless - and seemingly useless - prodding of the northern stone.

WIP Post: Garret moves up and to the left when the runes begin to light up.
Wyaar also readies when the runes light up but when nothing appears he suggests summoning enough creatures to press all the glyphs at once.
Zane says without more clues don’t look to him to figure out the puzzle.
Sesha takes a deep breath and then touches the symbol in front of her.
Beri says the runes remind him of a tavern game and then agrees with what Wyaar suggested offering the aid of an elemental swarm if needed.
Restlin touches the n with the tail.
Bosk casts protective spells on himself as the others touch stones. He asks if anyone knows how to read them and tells the others of his experiences and how runes have been used to magically secure things and were set up that if a bad word was used there would be consequences. He also offers to use his tattoos to trigger the runes.
Tink pulls back to wait and see what happens. Garret and Wyaar join in watching.
Beri apologizes to Bosk and says the runes most likely need to be interacted with.
As Restlin and Sesha touch two other stones they cause he nearby ones to light up, except for one already lit, which turns off, and the one between the stones they touched, which turns on, then off. A faint, tingly feeling fills the area.

Suddenly all of the stones go dark. A voice speaks, ”The mountains burn. The grass spreads. The time has come for the wind to be free. Defeat those who came before you with ill intent and claim your prize.”
The dome collapses revealing a both a smaller dome and 8 figures spread out. 2 of the figures turn into ghostly translucent red and white dragons and take to the air while the other 6 figures disappear into the stones. 6 of the stones become animated, moving on their own possessed by the figures.
A different voice speaks, “I am Master Oyonchol together with my brethren Masters Junyoshi, Rieza, Saramusa, Nomura and Tietsu and our sorcerer mercenaries Sakura and Yojimbo we set out to ensure the bloodgrass would be allowed to evolve. We cannot let you stop the bloodgrass.”

Before Sesha acts, Tink uses her Tricky Spells ability to cast a Silent Still Mage's Disjunction 10ft east of Sakura
The Unseen Servant is blown to smithereens.
--------------------------------- Other skill checks above
Standard Action: Cast Silent Still Mage's Disjunction in the square 10ft to the east of Sakura's bottom square. Range: 50ft = A-ok At that square a 40ft radius burst catches Sakura, Yojimbo, JU, RI, as well as the stone that looks like a B, the one that looks like an O with a line through it, the one that looks like an X, the one that looks like a crown, the one that looks like a W, the red thing at the top of the map as well as the pink circle. All spells and spell-like abilities in effect are unravelled and completely destroyed. No Save. No SR. Any items in their possession must make a Will Save vs DC28 or have their abilities supressed for 20mins. A Nat1 on this roll destroys the item. 20% chance of bringing down an anti-magic field.
Spells in effect on Others: Greater Magic Weapon on Garret's fists - Tishe's Weave Elements on Restlin, Zane and Wyarr have a 'Water' version, Bosk a 'Fire' version, Beri and Garret an 'Air' version
Perception: Can automatically see invisible, ethereal, magical auras, and any object/person being scryed upon. Dark Vision & Low Light Vision. Auto check for Secret Doors with 5ft
Immunities: Immunity to harmful vapors and gases, possession, mental control, spells from the divination school, scrying, bodily contact by evil summoned creatures, and grapples.
Tink then casts Mage’s Disjunction. It obliterates her Unseen Servant, causes both of the dragons to revert to humanoid ghosts, disables a majority of the enemies magic items, and causes the stone circle to shudder, though the stones resist the spell.
It also engulfs the smaller Forcecage, causing it to vanish. A glowing, swirling green wind soars out of the cage and fills the ritual area, kicking up dust and dirt as it forms a cyclone that starts to shoot up and out through the hole in the ceiling! If the PC’s don’t stop it this round, it will escape.
(Tink, gain a hero point for using a spell neither DM expected in a powerful manner… even if it came with unexpected consequences.)

As Restlin entraps the wind with his force cage I quickly cast shape stone and encase it in 16 cu/ft of stone. I have a couple more scrolls of shape stone. Once the battle is done I will reshpe the stone to have a spout we can use as a funnel to force the wind out of. I should be able to pour it into my portable hole or empty bag of holding as long as the opening of the stone and the container are the same size. as long as there is nothing sharp inside the wind should have a hard time escaping.

Beriothian keeps an eye on the others to see if they are successful or not. Should it look like the wind is about to escape, he will use wall of stone to seal off the exit (or stone shape if more appropriate). Assuming that trapping the wind was successful and no further action was needed, the druid will summon an elder air elemental.
DM Mitch Monday April 23rd, 2018 7:34:58 AM Wyaar moves near Garret and Zane and uses his aura to grant them the ability to smite.
Restlin casts force cage attempting to recapture the wind.
Bosk wraps 16 cubic feet of stone around the force cage that Restlin created giving it an extra protective layer.
Beri watches the other's efforts and, when he's sure they've succeeded, summons an elder air elemental.

A glowing red medium incorporeal creature emerges from the structure on the overgrown hill and flies about 10 feet forward, it then unleashes a terrible soul chilling scream. Everyone in the party (OOC the gold circle was the area of the spell) must make a DC 24 fort save or take 140 damage (Spellcraft DC 24 Highlight to display spoiler: {Wail of the banshee SLA})

Another one of the stones also tramples the wizard (Restlin can either take an AOO and take 10 damage or attempt a DC 18 reflex save to only take 5 damage)
A third stone tramples the wizard as well (Restlin can either take an AOO and take 11 damage or attempt a DC 18 reflex save to only take 5 damage)
Sesha and Tink get trampled by another stone (OOC: it can only see Sesha but Tink is in movement path (Sesha and Tink can either take AOO’s against the stones and take 13 damage or they can attempt DC 18 reflex saves to only take 6 damage)
Sesha gets trampled by a 5th stone (Sesha can either take AOO’s against the stone and take 13 damage or she can attempt DC 18 reflex saves to only take 6 damage)
Wyaar gets trampled by the last stone (Wyaar can either take an AOO against the stone and take 11 damage or they can attempt DC 18 reflex saves to only take 5 damage)
The formerly dragon sorcerers seem incensed that you managed to capture the wind again. Yojimbo pounds the stone sphere with a Meteor Swarm and manages to make some holes; Sakura casts a disintegrate through a hole to destroy the force shield inside. The party can hear the wind howling about inside now; though it has yet to escape it soon will unless the holes are patched or some other form of containment is attempted.
The 2 sorcerer dragons also cast quickened spells. (Spellcraft: 16 Highlight to display spoiler: {Mage Armor}
Whooooooo boy. Restlin is unhappy. Not only did someone just take out his forcecage, but now these stupid rocks were trying to smush him.
He shrugs off the wail and dodges all the rocks without anything landing a hit because Restlin is awesome.
OOC: Ring of evasion. Zero damage.
Whoever was trying to hurt the Iron Dragons was going to be in a world of pain real soon, but right now that wind was more important.
Step one was getting away from these stones. He conjures himself back into the tunnel. Then, he pulls out one of his rods and seals the exit behind everyone.

Zane makes the save against whatever the effect was. He declares the White Incorporeal Dragon as the target for Smite and with Haste he uses a hero point to move up to just within range. With haste He then unleashes a series of attacks against it.
All Attacks, Magic/Ghost touch

* If nothing else, I bet I have attention now.* Zane quips over the ring.
Sesha resists the spell, and avoids most of the trouble from the rocks. Her stoneskin spell chips a little, but she takes no real damage.
She figured she might as well try to go for the quick finish. She targets Yojimbo with her magic, Control Undead. She can control up to 40HD, so hopefully he falls within that requirement. He needs to succeed on a Will Save, DC 27 to resist.
Her Witchfire, also incorporeal undead, hones in on Sakura, charging her and hitting with her flaming touch. 19 damage and Will Save DC 22 or be affected by Witchflame.

ooc: Can you put a key on the map showing which enemies are where? I am confused.
The banshee's wails pierce my ears, but other than the irritating noise reminiscent of fingernails on a chalkboard, I find myself unaffected. Immediately I (charge if possible) towards the white incorporeal form and place myself so that I am flanking him with Zane and unleash my attack.
Actions: Fort save = 24 = pass Charge/move to white incorporeal (if possible, if not red) and place myself in a flanking position Hit AC 43 (Nat 20) Confirm Crit = 42 for 24dmg + 18 sneak = 42dmg Smite atk hit AT 42 (nat 19 confirm crit = 33) for 10dmg (+11 if crit) + 14 sneak = 24dmg (35 if crit)
Also, if the enemy breaks through our barriers and the wind is about to escape I will use a hero point to cast shape stone and reseal it.
(Note that Bosk is flying and has both fly an overland flight activated and has a fly speed of 60. Bosk has magic circle against evil in effect, smite, ghost touch on self weapons and armor, blind fighting, blur, blink, tremor sense 20ft, and dark vision.

Forgot to mention that my weapons are +4 magically enhanced before the other spells incase the enemy has DR.
DM Mitch d4=2 ; d20+16=33 ; 15d6=40 ; d20=16 ; d20=6 ; Tuesday April 24th, 2018 5:57:20 AM Restlin is not happy with the recent turn of events and he not only shrugs off the wail but he manages to avoid the trampling of the animated rocks. He dimensional steps over to Sesha, pulls out a quicken rod and summons an ice wall behind the party.
Garret makes an abundant step to show up behind the white dragon blooded sorceress ghost Sakura. He then flurries a smite evil using a ki point to get an extra attack and proceeds to destroy her even with her ghostly nature reducing the halfling’s damage by half. (OOC: ghosts take half damage from non-ghost touch weapons this is not DR)
Zane attacks the red dragon sorcerer using his smite ability and proceeds to destroy it.
Wyaar has no dragon blooded sorcerer ghosts to target. (OOC: You can re-reroll for the phantom or the animated stones subtracting smite damage and we will retroactively apply it)
Sesha goes to cast control undead but alas all the targets presented are either outsiders or constructs. (OOC: you can cast a new spell and we will retroactively apply it) Her witchfire goes to attack the incorporeal red shouting creature but the incorporeal creature is very nimble.
Beri holds off on summoning more creatures and instead seals the ceiling with stone shape. The area the party is in immediately darkens (OOC: your arena is now an area of darkness what this means is anyone without darkvision is blinded; this means no precision damage, must make a DC 10 acrobatics check to move faster than ½ speed or fall prone, can’t run or charge, 50% miss chance and you must pinpoint a target square before attacking, lose dex to AC and take a -2 penalty to AC, -4 penalty to perception and most str and dex based skills, automatically fail checks relying on vision, you can make a perception check as a free action to hear an unseen assailant to get the general area but if you beat the check by 20 or more you know its square, you can grope about to find assailants as a standard action, 50% miss chance but if a creature is there you have pinpointed it. If you are struck by a foe with a 5 foot reach you have pinpointed that creature until you move ) Beri’s earth elemental attacks the incorporeal red thing but it too misses with its attack.
Bosk charges forward to flank with Zane, but the enemy he targeted has died. A ghost monk is within his reach and faces his wrath instead,
The wind whips around the area having freed itself from the broken cage. (OOC: The environment is now under the effects of heavy wind. Ranged attacks are impossible, large creatures or smaller are unable to move forward unless succeeding on a DC 10 str check if on the ground or a DC 20 fly check if aloft, medium creatures and below on the ground are knocked prone and roll 40 feet taking 16 points of nonlethal damage unless a DC 15 str check is made, flying creatures of medium size or below are blown back 60 feet taking 8 nonlethal damages from the buffeting and fly checks are at a -12 penalty)
The red incorporeal creature retreats back to the shelter of the overgrown structure. (OOC: witchfire + earth elementals get AOOs)
One of the animated stones moves towards Zane and a ghostly monk emerges from the stone attempting to strike the dragon disciple with its touch but Zane is too nimble.
Another stone follows suit and a second ghostly monk emerges. This second monk is successful at touching Zane and Zane takes 3 Con drain.
A third stone tramples Wyaar (Wyaar can either take an AOO and take 12 damage or attempt a DC 18 reflex save to only take 6 damage)
A fourth ghost pops out of the stone adjacent to Wyaar touches the Paladin for 3 Con drain before reciding back into the cover of the animated stone.
The stones by Tink, Restlin and Sesha move a little and 2 more ghosts pop out one trying to touch Restlin and the other trying to touch Sesha. Both ghosts manage to touch our heroes and Restlin takes 1 point of Con drain while Sesha takes 3 points of Con drain.
A deep rumbling sound fills the area, as if something massive was moving. Bosk and Zane are so close that they can feel the ground shake. It’s hard to tell in the darkness but… did that hill just STAND UP?!?
A voice yells out in the darkness. ”FOOLS! You have done my work for me! Now die so that the bloodgrass may thrive and the Wold be reborn!”
A line of fire that almost looks like a snake extends out of the overgrown pavilion, shooting down the hill (Yes, it is standing!) and burning Bosk and Zane before twisting around to rush at Garret. All 3 of you take 40 damage, reflex save DC 27 for half.
There’s a loud twang, almost as if someone is firing ballistas at you, followed by a tinkling sound as the shots are caught in the wind and fall to the ground. Suddenly Bosk and Zane are swarmed with tiny shardlings and some strangling vine creature (8 of each on each PC).
The grass on the moving hill comes alive. It reaches out and tries to seize the two nearby taurs, all the while the small swarming creatures tangle them up and make it even harder to avoid the reaching tendrils (It beat both of your CMDs, but I don’t know if either of you have Freedom of Movement).

Things just got real. Tink dodges past the rock and begins casting a few spells.
2 Astral Deva's appear as do a few Bralani. 2 are instantly hit by the wind and get pushed towards the wall.
They all can see clearly in the dark and unload some spells.

ooc: between blink and blur and protection from fire the spell will cause Bosk little dmg.
I do not think I have freedom of movement at this time, but I am blinking between the shadow realm and the material plane, so I assume it cannot grapple me.
I also have an ability that will allow me to ignore difficult terrain when moving.
As for the creatures, I have magic circle against evil cast on my self. Does this have any effect in the enemies attacking and grappling me?

Garret blinks when the lights go out. He sees the flame coming at him and ducks under it. Then he calls out over the links, "Hey, who turned the lights out? I can't see a thing!"

ooc: More to come. Updating my header. I realized my AC was never updated with my armor upgrade and I was giving myself 3 too many hp. Hp was reduced.
The fire scorches the air around me. I am able to dodge the worst of it, and before I can be baked by the remaining heat I blink into the cool of the shadow realm.

Zane twists completely out of the fire blast, avoiding any damage at all. (evasion) With his Water element vest, he also has freedom of movement, he shakes the shardlings off and takes to the air..... (fly check 22) Hit points adjusted for Con damage.
Zane casts displacement on himself, extending it as well.

When the ghosts seem unaffected by control undead, Sesha is thoroughly confused. (Will retroactively cast Death Ward)Thanks to her darkvision, she can see just fine, but now there's other issues.
She was good and flabbergasted with this encounter already, and she was sick and tired of constructs. She casts blink, and gets a little distance in the air.

I feel the crystaline creatures crawling on my skin and in my fur, like a dozen tiny beetles. I quickly fly 5ft up towards the south east (1 5ft step 3 dimensionally up, south and east). As I blink between the physical and ethereal plane I feel those clinging to me drop away as gravity pulls them down and I slip from their grasp.
All around me I hears gasps as people's constitution fails them. You Fools! Do You Not Know By Now That All Life Hangs By A Thread? I AM THAT THREAD!!!! I look to see if I can reach the ghost monk Ri or No (I cannot tell if I can hit him or not. I have a special ability granting myself and all my an at will gear ghost touch.) If I can hit him I will try to take him out first and send him to meet Gargul. If not I focus all my attention on the Collossus.
Action --------------------------------- Saves made in above post, no dmg taken. Fly (Bosk is large sized. I by your description I don't think I need to make a check. If I am wrong, he has the agile feet ability that allow him to ignore difficult terrain and move freely through it. If the wind counts as difficult terrain Bosk will cast quickened air walk as a swift action. If not and Bosk is effected by the wind he will use a hero point to cast it as a free action. With that I should be able to treat it like I am walking on the ground. With that Strength check = 19) 5ft step 3 dimensionally up, south and east

(OOC: First off the ghosts have the ability to possess the stones and turn them into animated objects. If the blue ghost monk is on top of the stone the stone is animated otherwise the ghost monk is outside the stones. Currently only the 2 monks by Wyaar are in the cover of the stones as the other monks had to move the stones to get in range to attack.)
Previously Tink turned the stone Ti was possessing into an archway. The animated stone is now an animated archway but that seems to have slowed it down. (OOC: ruling that the archway is more awkward to move than the stone so movement speed is reduced)
Tink dodges past the rocks and summons some Astral Devas and Bralanis after time stopping. The Devas proceed to cast holy smite dealing 11 points of damage and 9 points of damage to the animated stones Tietsu and Saramusa are possessing. Tink’s first Bralani drops a lightning bolt going after Junyoshi and the chinese character stone Junyoshi dodges the bolt but the stone takes full damage. The rest of the Bralanis all either cast their own lightning bolts immediately or wait for the monks to emerge from the stones either way the bolts miss sadly as the ghost monk’s are very nimble and have improved evasion.
Garret blinks when the lights go out and unfortunately he isn’t in range of anything at the moment but he does manage to dodge the fire snake.
Wyaar casts death ward on himself.
Zane also avoids the fire snake shaking off the shardlings and casting extended displacement on himself as he takes to the air.
(OOC: regarding death ward, only the 2 sorcerers were visible targets at the time of your casting and they already were destroyed. The 6 monks were possessing the stones meaning the stones were constructs at the time and not susceptible to the control undead, if the ghost is outside the stone you can cast control undead; sorry for confusion)
Sesha had previously cast death ward and now casts blink and gets some air distance.
Beri summons a storm giant. His elemental’s AOO misses against the fleeing phantom. (OOC: Yojimbo is destroyed but it can attack the collosus) Unfortunately the attacks against the collosus also miss.
Restlin backs up towards Wyaar and starts casting summon monster.
The stone Rietsu rode in on took 18 damage from Bosk’s AOO. The AOO against the colossus missed. Bosk goes after Rieza after ridding himself of the things swarming him. Rieza gets destroyed by most of Bosk’s attack before following up against the collusus on the haste attack but that misses.
Nomura flurries at Zane with ghost touched shurikens before retreating into the stone all the shurikens miss their mark.
Tietsu and Saramusa attack Wyaar with their corrupting touches both miss and retreat back into their stones.
Oyonchol flurries at Sesha with ghost touched shurikens before retreating into the stone. All the shuriken miss Sesha too.
Junyoshi attacks Restlin with a touch before retreating into his stone. Restlin takes 81 damage and must make a DC 91 concentration check or lose his summon spell.
The sounds of the lich spellcasting echoes out before all of Tink’s summons simply vanish, sent back to whence they came. ”Your summoning will not help you fools! You fight alone here!”
The phantom that earlier darted out to use wail of the banshee re-emerges from the overgrown building and charges Zane. It is much bigger and no longer a ghost, but a rolling ball of ectoplasm. It tries to slam Zane, but fails, and emits a frightful presence (everyone in 30 yards make a DC 22 will save or be Shaken)
The packs of shardlings run off away from Bosk and Zane, vanishing into the dark (you get an AoO to kill a few as they go).
The collosus advances and more rounds of shots firing and being knocked down by the wind are heard. Unable to find Tink, the packs of enemies all cover Wyarr (Do you have freedom of movement or other abilities to prevent grappling? If not, you’re grappled.)

In the flashes of casting spells and things, Garret gets a glimpse of the battlefield, but darkness soon quickly appears again. He drops the foot or so to the ground to keep his footing against the howling wind, puts his hand along the wall, and then quickly moves in the direction where he had seen Sesha.

Holy moly. That hurt. One more hit like that & Restlin was a goner. He uses what's left of his dimensional step ability to get the heck out of dodge.
Still gripping his swift spell rod, he casts a quick greater invisibility spell.
***
Standard: Dimensional step away. Doesn't trigger an AoO. He's about 60' in the air. Swift: Greater invisibility Move: Get blown around by this stupid wind, I assume.
AC is 33/24/30 this round. CMD is 37, and Restlin has freedom of movement.
That's one ghost monk down. Careful of the Colossus, it shrugged off a pretty solid hit (hit AC 42). This is going to be a fun one! There is a note of excitement in my voice as picture pummeling the creature back into ground. (seven attacks a round means a natural 20 about ever thee rounds :)
Everyone, remember to communicate. Let the group know if you need healing or assistance. As I say this I unleash another dozen blows as enemies move towards and away from me. I can feel my attacks getting sloppy, but hopefully the phantom is squishy and used to relying on his incorporeal nature to save him...unfortunately for him I am a dual citizen of the land of the living and the land of the dead.
Action --------------------------------- Air walk treats it as if I am walking on the ground. With that Strength check = 25 Frightful Presence: Immune to fear
AoO from last round actions (rolls we done in previous post)Bosk has reach and can make AoO while flat footed AoO 1 vs fleeing Crystaline Enemy 1 with Bastard Sword hit AC 28 (nat 1, miss) AoO 2 vs fleeing Crystaline Enemy 2 with Bastard Sword hit AC 43 for 16 dmg + 12 sneak dmg = 28 dmg AoO 3 vs Colossuss with Bastard Sword hit AC 34 for 19 dmg + 14 sneak dmg = 33 dmg AoO 4 vs Lich (or if not in range Phantom) with Bastard Sword hit AC 40 for 19 dmg + 5 sneak dmg = 24 dmg
Full Attack (start with phantom Note that my weapons and armor have ghost touch) Main Hand Atk 1 Hit AC 27 for 23 dmg + 16 sneak damage = 39 dmg Off Hand Atk 1 Hit AC 22 for 11 dmg + 10 sneak dmg = 21 dmg Nat Atk Horn Gore Hit AC 32 for 16 dmg +11 sneak = 27 dmg Main Hand Atk 2 Hit AC 22 for 26 dmg + 16 sneak dmg = 40 dmg Off Hand Atk 2 Hit AC 26 for 12 d mg + 9 sneak dmg = 21 dmg Main Hand Atk 3 Hit AC 29 for 24 dmg + 14 sneak dmg = 38 dmg Off Hand Atk 3 Hit AC 6 (Natural 1, miss) Extra Attak from Haste Hit AC 33 for 19 dmg + 11 sneak +7 bane from embryon's tear = 37 dmg
AoO If needed this round (Reach, ghost touch, combat reflexes, can make AoO while flat footed, blind fighting, dark vision and tremor sense)) AoO 1 with Bastard Sword hit AC 45 for 20 dmg + 09 sneak dmg = 29 dmg AoO 2 with Bastard Sword hit AC 31 for 17 dmg + 20 sneak dmg = 37 dmg AoO 3 with Bastard Sword hit AC 38 for 18 dmg + 15 sneak dmg = 33 dmg AoO 4 with Bastard Sword hit AC 31 for 21 dmg + 13 sneak dmg = 34 dmg
(Attacks have +1 haste, +1 hero's feast, +2 blink, +2 flank. Bosk has a 10ft reach.)
(Note that Bosk is flying and has both fly an overland flight activated and has a fly speed of 60. Bosk has magic circle against evil in effect, smite, ghost touch on self weapons and armor, blind fighting, blur, blink, tremor sense 20ft, and dark vision.

She had some grand plans for those divas too. Not only that but there's a huuuge 'thing' next to her. At least it hadn't seen her yet.
She teleports herself safely away to stand over near Garret (can someone please update the map for me?)

Garret moves along the wall counterclockwise towards where he remembered seeing Sesha.
Zane pounds away at the Phantom, destroying 3 mirror images and almost killing it.
Beri summons some fire elementals to help light up the room.
Restlin retreats and casts greater invisibility on himself.
Bosk unleashes a huge flurry of blows, most of which miss. The two blows that land are enough to finish off the heavily weakened Phantom.
Tink is really annoyed at her summons vanishing. She teleports away in a huff. (Updated!)
Beri’s fire elementals light up the area. This allows the party to get a full view of their enemies, including the former hill.
The creature looks like an small blood red mountain with short, thick legs. Dirt and dust covers it from when it was disguised as a hill, but it still glows with reflected the light off it’s polished hide. It has no clear front or back and grass writhes over every inch of it like a living carpet, searching for things to seize and throttle. On each leg juts a contraption, like a crossbow as big as a Taur, the source of the frequent clicking and twanging noises. Rather than single, large bolts it’s filled with jagged crystals and small pods with more writhing, tentacle-like grass.
Everyone within 30 yards of the golem (Tink, Beri, Bosk, Storm Giant) must make a DC 16 Fortitude save or be dazzled.
Even as you watch the crossbows fire, sending a cloud of shards and pods flying outwards. They’re immediately caught by the wind and thrown to the ground, where they stand and rush to the Storm Giant - though they are to small in size and number to grapple it. The writhing grass around each crossbow twists about, pulling more ammo from within the fold of the thing and quickly reloading the weapons to fire again.
The ghosts Oyo and Ju seem somewhat annoyed at their opponents fleeing and their shuriken doing nothing to Sesha. After a moment they burst out of the stones they had been possessing and fly after Sesha, taking refuge inside the wall behind her and touching her with their spectral hands doing 3 con drain to her.
The ghosts Ti and Sa take advantage of Wyarr being grappled and flurry him. Enough of their many attacks land to do 61 damage to him (already subtracted your dr/5 - don’t subtract again). However in doing so they make themselves vulnerable (they have partial cover instead of total cover this round)
No, realizing he’s in trouble with several powerful enemies nearby tries to trample Zane and flee. However the Tuar is so big that it merely slams into him, doing no real damage, and goes nowhere.
The enemies grappling Wyarr pin him down and start stabbing at him. This is… incredibly ineffective and does nothing due to his magical protection. More dangerous are the pods - they wrap their long, vineline limbs around him and throttling him for 8 damage (already subtracted DR).
The shardlings on the northeast side of the map are nowhere to be seen. With the light now shining on the area they should be visible, but they aren’t.
Now that there’s light the party can see the Lich’s refuge. The small building on the Colossus is still sitting there, but now that it’s mobile and active it’s evident that it’s a intentionally designed defensive fortification. It’s made of the same material as the golem, and the grass and vines growing on it are writhing just like everything else on it. There are 4 tiny arrow slits in it and no other openings.
The sound of his casting occurs again - 2 of the 3 Elder Fire Elementals vanish. The other remains though, spreading light through the area).

Sesha's witchfire changes targets, picking on the relatively slow reflexes of the colossal creature, but is distracted by something in it's rocks. (nat 1)
Sesha casts True Seeing, so she can spot her injured lover. She flies (Oyu and Ju get Aoos if they can reach her in the air), to Restlin, and casts a quickened cure serious wounds spell. (Restlin heals 47hp)

Restlin moves quickly, throwing up a repulsion field around himself and Sesha. Then, using his swift rod, he knocks a glowing red ball over his shoulder towards Wyarr. He moves a bit to throw off any attackers.
***
Standard: Repulsion - 160ft radius. Will save DC 33. Spell penetration check is 40. Swift: Selective fireball near Wyarr. I should be able to hit the lich, colossus, Sa, and all those things badgering Wyarr. 25 damage, reflex DC 23 for half. Spell resistance check if applicable is 32. Wyarr is not affected. Move: Move
Note: Repulsion basically covers this entire chamber and prevents any creature from coming closer to me. It's gonna be tough for those two jerks on the left with their stupid rocks to move around if they fail their check.
Greater invisibility: 15 rounds

Garret looks around in the brief light and figures he's not going to be able to do a lot out in the open with all the ghosts and darkness. He spots the hut on top of the monster and decides to just go for what appears to be the creature in charge. He says over the rings, "Ok, I am going in!" He steps forward and disappears.
OOC: Abundant step to inside the hut with the hairy lich. Is the lich hairy? Well, it's probably dark in there, too, but I figure the space is small enough that Garret can figure out which part is not Garret and which part is lich. Flurry!

Beri manages to summon three full fire elementals, only two see two of them immidiately snuffed out (was that a held action, since the elementals wouldn't spawn until the start of my turn? ) Hmm, looks like this is not going to be a good fight for a summoner... The druid orders the fire elemental to keep out of view of the slits for the time being, he is more valuable giving light at the moment then risking his life. Suddenly insipriation hits the druid... it's a long shot, but why not? He calls out to the wind in his best Auran. If by any chance you are a sentient wind and can understand me, we are the good guys. We have been sent to free you and to seek your aid in saving the Wold from one of the greatest dangers it's ever known. We thank you for blowing the projectiles away, and if you could blow some of these monster stones into the COLOSSUS's leg weapons it would be greatly appreciated.
Realizing the summons are not the way to go, the druid casts transmute rock to mud on the ground under the COLOSSUS's feet.

Tink decides to try a little more debuffing. As soon as she sees the Lich through the arrow slit she send a Greater Dispel magic his way.

Wyaar lays a hand on himself to heal a little before stabbing away at the masses of stranglepods on him. He kills one of the creatures swarming him but alas most of his attacks miss.
Zane hovers and readies an action to attack the spectre or the stone being possessed by it.
Restlin thanks Sesha for the healing, throws up a repulsion sphere protecting himself and Sesha before hurling a selective fireball towards Wyaar’s position. The fireball clears the stranglepods off of Wyaar, damages the stone Saramusa is taking cover in, hastes the golem and doesn’t hit the lich.
Garret tries to uses his abundant step to get inside the structure shielding the grass lich, but the structure is so small he won’t fit and he pops out right outside an arrow slit. Not about to let that stop him, he smashes into the crystal wall separating him from his foe. Only a few blows deal solid damage to it, but those quickly spread cracks through the structure, then cause a hole to collapse inward around the arrow slit, giving Garret clear view of the very surprised lich who doesn’t appear where he should be (displaced = 50% miss chance) and there appears to be 7 copies of him in the cramped space.
Beri attempts to reason with the wind before ordering his elemental to stay away from the line of sight of the Lich. He then casts Transmute Rock to Mud under the ground of the Colossus’s feet. The colossus sinks 10 feet. Beri’s air elemental attacks the stone sheltering Nomura for 12 total damage. (OOC: The stone has hardness) The giant kills 3 of the creatures swarming him.
Bosk gets on top (or is he hovering over it?) of the colossus and casts Shatter. The wall hiding the lich cracks and bows inward, but doesn’t quite break.
Tink flies up a bit and asks how everyone’s doing before trying to remove the liches buffs.
The wind does not respond to Beri’s attempt to talk to it. A quick mental review shows that none of it’s howling has been intentional words in any language that he can tell - if it does have intelligence it is a very simple one. Or it is very stubbornly ignoring you.
Nomura pops out of the stone to attack Zane but before he does Zane attacks and destroys the spirit.
The ghosts in the wall do not emerge. Perhaps they’re kept away by Restlin’s repulsion, or maybe they’re up to something.
The grass lich casts again using a scroll and this time magic hits Garret suppressing his ring of freedom of movement for 3 rounds.(Spellcraft 21 Highlight to display spoiler: {greater dispel magic}) Garret becomes grappled by the vines he is standing upon.
Wyaar is struck by Saramusa’s touch (drains 3 more con) and by Tietsu’s touch which comes with a flood of images (DC 22 will save or be stunned for 1 round). Wyaar sees the 6 monks and 2 sorcerer’s set out on their quest to secure the wind, get trapped die and become ghosts with unfinished business. Tietsu is imposing on Wyaar a curse which wants Wyaar to stop anyone (his party included) from capturing the wind. If Wyaar does not fulfil the charge of guarding the wind by 12 days Wyaar will take 1d4 con drain per day. (Know[religion] DC 27 Highlight to display spoiler: {}the curse can be removed with remove curse, thus preventing Wyaar from having to face turning against the party or taking more con drain) Both Tietsu and Saramusa recede into the cover of their stones after touching Wyaar.
The colossus’s tendrils also try to wrap themselves around Bosk now that he’s on it. If he’s actually flying at least 10 feet over the top or if he has freedom of movement he’s fine, otherwise he is grappled.
The click of the colossus’s crossbows sound again and more shardlings swarm over the Storm Giant. Even as big as it is, there are over 60 of the things all over him now. The Stranglepods form a great ring around it’s neck and begin to throttle - others tangle and impede his movements (giant is now grappled).
Something hits Sesha on the head. It tangles in her hair and thrashes about. Then another and another land on her… the shardlings are dropping on her from the roof. Their aim is pretty good to - only about a quarter of them miss their shot and fall to the floor, immediately detonating as the fall kills them. If Sesha has freedom of movement she’s fine, otherwise she is now grappled by the 24 or so shardlings and pods that now cover her head to toe.

Confident that those stupid shardlings are no bother to Sesha, and hopeful that those two stupid ghosts were kept at bay, Restlin tries to help Bosk do what the dude was born to do: deal with uppity undead.
He swaps his swift rod for one of his maximize rods. A few gestures and muttered arcane phrases, and a giant gong appears in mid-air. He smacks it with the rod as hard as he's able, directing the resulting noise towards the walls protecting the lich.
***
Move: Swap swift rod for maximize rod Standard: Maximized shatter on the walls surrounding the lich. 60 damage.
Reaction:Sesha is extra glad to be incorporeal and ethereal right now, as shardlings fall through her to the floor level.
Witchfire: Sesha's Witchfire hones in on one of the ghosts. She makes a charge against the closest. Also incorporeal, she has no trouble making contact. Hits AC 25 for 25 fire damage and her magical tear activates, for another 2 fire damage.. Target must pass a DC 24 will save or be lit up with faerie fire and gain fire vulnerability.
Sesha watches Restlins shatter spell with some appreciation for his flair and love of magic.
"...."
With a slap on the forehead, Sesha again casts Time Stop. The spell wont hold for long, but it will last long enough.
Round 1: Quickened Divine Favor. Draw Weapon, Read Scroll of Giant Form 2. Select form of Storm Giant. Sesha is now a huge creature with a 15 ft reach and occupied space. In form of giant, her gear does NOT meld. (autopass UMD)
Round 2: Activate Shillelagh tattoo. Hero Point cast Disrupting Weapon. Move within range to smack the crap out of the next ghost that pops up into her threatened space. Sesha is now out of Hero Points.
AoO: Hits AC 30 (even against ethereal creatures because of blink), Miss % success, for 29 damage. If it hits an undead with HD 20 or less, they need to save vs DC 24 or be destroyed instantly.

Tink checks to see if any of the Lich's magical auras have disappeared since she cast her Dispel. Hopefully she has disarmed him of further things.
She notices the attack on Wyarr and can immediately tell he in under the effect of a curse (Knowl Religion vs DC27: 36=Pass). Tink will attempt to remove the curse with a greater dispel magic.

With the walls coming down I have a clear shot of the lich I quickly attack the lich, trying to land as many blows as possible.
Actions ------------------------------------------------------- Taks a 5ft step towards the lich (I cannot see where it says he moved, but the map shows him having moved. I assume this is prepping for the next round. I believe a 5ft steps south and east will put me in range.) If for some reason I cannot reach the lich I will attack the crystaline giant.
AoO from lich casting from scroll (Reach, ghost touch, combat reflexes, can make AoO while flat footed, blind fighting, dark vision and tremor sense)) AoO with Bastard Sword hit AC 36 for 19 dmg + 14 sneak dmg = 33 dmg (I do not see the lich moving in the last post, but if he did move Bosk gets a second AoO. Please use the AoO from the below section for that. Also, do I get AoO as the collassas splits into giants and moves laterally? If so I have rolls at the bottom of my post.)

You notice that following Tink’s dispel The lich still has 6 copies of himself but he doesn’t appear to be in a different location anymore, he doesn’t appear to be moving as fast, and the lich’s skin is no longer stony looking. It would appear whatever the other 2 effects were they didn’t leave obvious indicators he was affected by the spells.
Restlin destroys another wall around the lich, leaving it exposed on two sides.
Sesha sends her witchfire after the ghosts and grows giant, prepared to attack any ghosts that zoom out to attack her.
Garett wiggles and struggles but doesn’t manage to escape from the grasping grass.
Beri’s summoned giant attacks the Colossus - unfortunately the fire elemental is so far away that the colossus is actually in darkness. Several of the giants attacks glance off the colossus when they might have otherwise been hits
Tink casts greater dispel magic attempting to remove the curse the ghost placed on him and successfully does so.
Wyarr activates his flying boots and flies up and away from the flanking ghosts.
Zane makes an epic charge and slashes heavily at the things leg.. Only for the blow to glance off due to the total darkness the thing is in.
Bosk lays into the lich destroying 3 images and hitting the lich once. The lich is rather surprised as his protective walls suddenly collapse around him. Narrowing his eyes, he speaks again, his voice echoing in the sealed chamber. ”Well fought, but I have many more tricks up my sleeves!”
The Colossus suddenly glows like the sun, power building up inside of it. Within moments, barely enough time to react, it detonates. Razor sharp blades of crystal fly everywhere - everyone except for Tink, Sesha, and the Fire Elemental takes 55 piercing damage. Reflex save DC 36 halves it.
Two Crystalline Giants rise from the pieces directly under Garett and Bosk. They tear off pieces of themselves and drop them near the wall where they rise as shieldbearers.
The lich, who had gently fallen to the ground (giving Bosk and the Storm giant an AoO) runs over and takes cover behind the shieldbearer’s tower shields before casting another Firesnake. It weaves past and through the crystalline minions, which seems to energize them and make them move faster, before hitting Bosk and Garret for another 50 damage (reflex save DC 27 for half)
The 4 remaining ghosts all swarm Beri flanking him. Junyoshi uses the con drain ability (24 vs AC; 3 con drain), Onyonchol, Saramusa and Tietsu all use unarmed attacks against the druid. Onyonchol misses, Saramusa attacks Beri with a scorpion style attack (38 vs AC; 25 damage and DC 27 Fort save or have speed reduced to 5 ft for 7 rounds) Tietsu uses Gorgon Fist (18 damage and DC 27 Fort save or be staggered until Tietsu’s next move if you failed vs Saramusa)

Tink is running really low on tricks. She still has a few up her sleeve though.
She uses her spectral hand to deliver a Greater Invisibility spell to Bosk.

Restlin stares wide as the shards fly towards him. With no where to go, he curls himself in a ball as they pass. He opens one eye when he hears them woosh by & feels all over himself to assess the damage, only to find he's untouched! What luck!
Relfex save 39 w/ ring of evasion = 0 damage. Woot!
He decides he is just done with this darkness. Whipping his quicken rod back out, he summons a large number of lantern archons and asks them to start lighting the room up.
He then throws a copy of Shiny at the Tietsu, hoping to stave off Beri's impending demise.
***
Move: Swap maximize rod for quicken.
Swift: Summon monster VI - summon 10 lantern archons. Whoa, Carl. How'd you do that? The mendicant rules say I can add five to any roll. 1d4+1 is a roll.
Standard: Mage's sword on Tiesto. Hit AC 51, crit confirm 41. 17 damage, 35 if crit. As a force effect, mage's sword has no trouble hitting ethereal or incorporeal creatures.
The lantern archons spread out and cast continual flame on small stones or whatnot throughout the room. That SHOULD be enough to light the whole place up, but that's your call.

The shards slam through Garret as he tries to escape the grapple. When the lich decides to run, Garret decides he's not going to let the lich hang out and attack the Iron Dragons. He quickly disappears again and appears behind the lich again, launching another flurry of an attack.

(More to come. Traveling today and only had time to make/fail saves)
I do my bet to imitate Restlin's deft movements, but feel the shards piercing my sides and penetrating my armor. One large shard flies towards my eyes, just missing as I blink out of existence. As I blink back into the physical realm another shard pierces my arm, my body ignoring much of the damage and stitching the cut back together. [i]Well that is new. I think that is the first time I have been hit by physical since becoming an outsider. I could get used to this.
Before I can reflect on the matter a wave of fire washes over me. I can feel my blood begin to boil and can only imagine what the heat would be like if I was not blinking into the cool of the ethereal realm every couple seconds. Although uncomfortable, my earlier protection spell prevents my from taking any serious damage.
Shard Explosion. Reflex save = 24, fail. Half damage for blinking = 28dmg -10dmg from Avenger's dr = 18dmg

Sesha sees an opportunity, and takes it. She moves towards Restlin and Beri, and calls down bright columns of healing energy, into friends and undead alike.
Move: Moves southeast towards Restlin, Beri, and the Ghost monks. Standard; Mass Heal. (Targets any number of creatures, as long as no two are more than 30ft apart.)
Affects: Sesha, Beri, Restlin, Bosk. (Heal up to 150 hp and immediately ends any and all of the following adverse conditions affecting the target: ability damage, blinded, confused, dazed, dazzled, deafened, diseased, exhausted, fatigued, feebleminded, insanity, nauseated, poisoned, sickened, and stunned. It also cures 10 hit points of damage per level of the caster, to a maximum of 150 points at 15th level.)
Also affects: All 4 ghosts surrounding Beri. It deals 150 hp, will save DC 28 for half.
NOTE: If these guys are doing ability damage, it heals it. If they are doing actual ability drain, which is a different thing, Heal does NOT fix that. Please offer guidance dear DMs!"
Sesha's witchfire attacks the any of the remaining ghosts.
(3 attacks if its within a 5ft step reach, just one if its not.)
Hit touch AC 20, 24, and 18 for 36, 48, and 37 damage respectively. Will save DC 24 or gain a fire vulnerability.

Standing so close to the explosion, Zane takes it in the face. He uses a move action to fly up and around to reach the the area where the shield bearers are, staying far enough above them to remain out of their reach, but still within his. He then uses another hero point to take a full attack action. He'll start on the closes bearer and then move on to the other it he kills the 1st.

The druid finds himself being attacked on all side, as he blinks in and out of this realm he does his best to withstand the attacks coming his way.
Blink/blur/fort rolls for attacks (assuming blink and blur apply to all attacks)
Shards d100=57 (pass); d100=23 (pass) -> hit (reflex save = 35, fail)
Tietsu stagger d100=59 (pass); d100=86 (pass) fort -> hit (fot = d20+27=46, not staggered)
If possible, the druid flys over the ghosts and out into the room, and hopes that the ice wall will not be removed. He is now about 30 feet in the air (above the shardlings he shares squares wtih), and channels his earthquake spell to summon 3 large fire elementals for additional light.

Restlin manages to avoid the shards before swapping his maximize for a quicken rod and then summoning 10 lantern archons. Restlin then uses spiritual weapon against Tietsu.
Wyaar does not avoid the shards but he uses lay upon hails to rid himself of the damage. Wyaar then flies a little higher and casts Restoration on himself.
Bosk takes damage from the shards but not the fire. Bosk’s AOO takes out one of the Lich’s mirror image. Bosk attempts to attack the lich from his position of invisibility but his attack just misses. He follows this up with a silence spell against the wall the golems and lich are by. The golems are not affected because of their magic immunity. The lich also makes his will save..
Sesha uses Heal targeting herself, Beri, Bosk and the ghosts. (OOC: It is ability drain not damage) 2 of the ghosts make the save and the other 2 do not. Tietsu is destroyed but the other 3 ghosts are still around. Her witchfire touch misses Oyonchol.
Zane takes the explosion to the face and then proceeds to attack the shield bearers. After 3 attacks the shield bearer explodes dealing 11 damage to Zane and Bosk (reflex DC 23 half) and leaving behind 8 crystaline swarmers. His remaining attacks damage the other shieldbearer.
Beri tries to flee the ghosts (See e-mail; you have to roll vs the slowing effect to see if you can actually get away.) His summons try to clear the giant of shardlings (The giant is not in fact grappled - even with their group grapple they can’t grapple huge creatures). The shardlings they kill form tiny explosions (9 damage, reflex save 19 for half).
Garret attempts to shadow step to the lich and attack. However, the lich’s back is to a wall and he’s surrounded by Zane, Bosk, and shieldbearers. He ends up in front of the lich underneath the hovering Bosk and lands several powerful blows.
The Lich engages Bosk with a flurry of blows from it’s staff, seemingly unbothered by the invisibility. Now that there is light shed upon it and Bosk is up close and personal he can see that it is not a standard undead lich. Rather, it seems this person has bonded himself with the bloodgrass. His body seems to have the stuff growing in and through him (plant subtype, not undead).
”Unholy am I? Ha! Tell me, why do you fight this Grim?” his blows rain down on Bosk, but mostly bounce off his armor or just miss due to blur. ”Look at what I have achieved! The bloodgrass CAN be tamed, used to improve so many things! Only fools destroy what they do not understand!” he emphasizes his last point with a blow to Bosk’s jaw, the staff glowing with power as he does so (Crit for 25 damage (Yes I rolled for blur)).
One of the giants breaks off another piece of itself to spawn a new shieldbearer replacing the one Zane killed. The other defends it’s master, slamming it’s giant fists into Bosk’s back twice for 26 damage (after blur and DR reduction).
The shieldbearer bellow Bosk attacks the halfling hitting it’s master with an explode head. Take 33 damage, fort 17 for half, and get an AoO. The other shieldbearer can only raise it’s shield to give the lich cover vs Zane this round.
The shardlings from the dead shieldbearer try to jump on Zane and grapple him (beat his CMD but they miss if he has freedom of movement or blink)
The shardlings covering the giant give up their futile attempts to grapple it and start stabbing with tiny limbs or whipping it with long tendrils for 5 damage.
If Bari made his save and could in fact flee (Not slowed to 5 feet MS) then the ghosts are kept away by Restlin’s repulsion. Unable to close on the fleeing druid, they’re forced to use their telekinesis to throw random things at Sesha, none of them damaging her.
If Ber failed his save then he could only move 5 feet away. With repulsion that gets him safely away from the southern ghost, but the other two flurry him, missing with every shot.

"What is it with liches and always thinking that destroying the entire world to match their extremely narrow goals is a good thing? Like we're the morons for not thinking it's a great idea to kill almost all life on the Wold so that this grass can take over."
Restlin moves his sword to attack the lich, figuring the ghosts were basically neutered for the moment thanks to his repulsion spell.
Meanwhile, the archons' focus fire on the lich as well with 20 beams of light.

Witchfire attacks on Oyo, no miss chance because both are ghosts, hits touch AC 34 and 34 for 32 and 25 damage. Will Save DC 24 or gain fire vulnerabilty (which means the attack damages would be 33 and 39.)

Sesha is eager to bring down Serenbeths angry judgement on these creatures. Satisfied that at least one of them the wrath of her patroness, she puts her disrupting staff to work. (Blink states she can attack incorporeal creatures with no negatives.)
Full attack on Oyo. If witchfire kills him, she will step up 5ft and hit the next one. (Has 15 foot reach from being huge)
Hit AC 22, 30, and 20 for 23, 32, and 29 damage. Undead hit must make a will save DC 24 or be destroyed.

Tink starts casting another Summoning spell. There looks to be a number of summons going on now. Perhaps it's safe to do so again?

Three large fire elementals appear on the seen adding their light. They recognize that they won't be able to do much damage against such foes, but they do what they can, with elemental 1 attacking the shrdlings on the storm giant, elemental 2 attacking the top crystal giant, and elemental 3 attacking the bottom giant.

No matter how many sharlings fall, more seem to appear... no matter thinks the giant. They will all fall under his blade in the end.

I laugh as the lich moves its jaw and no sound comes out. Silence really can be an amusing spell! I think to myself, wondering if its words were anything significant. Probably another spell of sore sort.
Although I cannot dodge my attackers I do my best to get in an extra thrust as the giant breaks off a piece of itself and thrwos it and a shield bearer attacks with an explode head. I then return the damage back upon the lich responsible for this mess.
Actions ----------------------- Fort Save = 37, success...and it was for the creature below me, not attacking me. Please ignore.

ooc: Missed the lich made his will save. Please ignore my making fun of his moving lips with no words coming out.
Restlin sends his sword to stab the lich in the face. His mass of arcons shoot rays of light at the lich which seem to do absolutely nothing to him.
Sesha and her witchfires work together to kill the ghosts. Garret flurries again, pounding into the lich. It’s hard to tell from the unusual form of the lich, but the wet smacks and the redish goo all over his fists indicate he did a hefty amount of damage.
Zane again kills the shieldbearer in front of him.
Tink begins a summoning.
Beri is glad he managed to escape the ghosts and he begins another summoning. His summons attack, mostly focusing on the shardlings on the Storm Giant.
Bosk turns into a small whirlwind as he strikes out at all the nearby foes.
The lich is clearly seriously injured. Rivulets of red, sappy substance dribble down him and he clutches his staff to stand. Still, he doesn't seem to terribly upset. In fact a manic grin spreads over his face.
”You may have won this battle, but the war has just begun.” With a sudden motion he snaps his staff over a knee. At the same time all the golems glow like the sun much like the colossus did moments ago.
There is a tremendous explosion as the staff and all the golems explode at once. The golem explosions generate more golems that also immediately explode. Zane, Bosk, and Garret make the following reflex saves for half damage:
Zane, Bosk, Garret : 1 DC 17, or take 180 damage Zane, Bosk, Garret: 2 DC 31, or take 11 and 13 damage Zane, Bosk Garret: 10 DC 23, or take 14, 8, 10, 14, 6, 12, 15, 15, 11, and 7 Garret only: make 4 saves vs DC 19 or take 4, 3, 1, and 3 damage Zane only: make 3 saves vs DC 19 or take 4, 2, and 4 damage
The cave shakes and then the wall nearest to the explosion caves in on itself burying Zane, Bosk and Garret (Make a DC 15 reflex save or take 34 damage; half damage on success) regardless of whether or not you make the save you are now buried (Characters take 1d6 points of nonlethal damage per minute while buried. If such a character falls unconscious, he must make a DC 15 Constitution check each minute. If it fails, he takes 1d6 points of lethal damage each minute until freed or dead; Characters who aren't buried can dig out their friends. In 1 minute, using only her hands, a character can clear rocks and debris equal to five times her heavy load limit. The amount of loose stone that fills a 5-foot-by-5-foot area weighs 1 ton (2,000 pounds). Armed with an appropriate tool, such as a pick, crowbar, or shovel, a digger can clear loose stone twice as quickly as by hand. A buried character can attempt to free himself with a DC 25 Strength check.)
The 3 large elementals, elder elemental and the storm giant are all in the slide zone (They need to make a DC 15 reflex save or take 11 damage and become buried. If they succeed they take no damage and are not buried)
Cracks start forming along the top of the gaping hole and spreading up towards the top of the dome as various rocks of size small, medium and large start falling from the ceiling.
As the rocks fall, sunlight begins to pour in through the newly created holes, Tink gets struck by a large rock (DC 15 reflex save or take 21 damage; 10 on successful save). Wyaar gets pelted by 3 small rocks (3 DC 15 reflex save or take 7, 11 and 4 damage; 3, 5 and 2 on successful saves). Restlin gets struck by 1 small rock (DC 15 reflex save or take 10 damage; 5 damage on success) and a medium rock (DC 15 reflex save or take 12 damage; 6 damage only on success). Sesha becomes a rock magnet getting pelted by 1 small rock (DC 15 reflex save or take 4 damage; only 2 damage on success) and 3 medium rocks (3 DC 15 reflex saves or take 10, 7, 12 damage; only 5, 3, 6 damage on successes). Lastly Beri gets dinged by 1 small rock (DC 15 reflex save or take 9 damage; 4 damage only on save). There is now enough area exposed in the ceiling for the wind to attempt to escape again.
If that wasn’t bad enough the 2 surviving ghosts start flurrying with shuriken against Sesha at range. The first ghost Junyoshi at 2 range increments strikes Sesha twice, once hitting her in the face (10 damage and 4 damage). While The second ghost Saramusa at 3 range increments misses completely.
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 35/19/30, CMD 40 , HP 150/153, DR 5/Evil d20=14 ; d20=2 ; d20=7 ; 7d6=20 ; Wednesday May 2nd, 2018 8:52:37 AM
Wyaar bobs and sways as the rocks fall and neatly avoids them all as he finally completes the casting of his spell to Restore his drained constitution and immediately starts looking less like a man about to expire. Another press of his hand against himself seals most of his remaining cuts and bruises so only a few remain and he flies southward.

Restlin swoops away from the falling stone (ring of evasion - no damage). He casually motions his mage's sword over to Junyoshi and lands on Sesha's shoulder.
"That wind's probably going to escape in a moment. We should finish these guys up quickly."
As if on cue, 20 light beams arc towards Junyoshi, moving to the other ghost if he dies.
***
Standard: Mage's sword on Junyoshi - Hit AC 34 for 16 damage
"Agreed, Mage-Priest. I will expect some compliment on my martial prowess later. I think only twice in my entire life have I dispatched enemies with a weapon other than magic."
Sesha shuffles her stance just a bit, and brings her Disruption enchanted quarterstaff back down into the ghost monks still offering some resistance.
Hit AC 30, Crit AC 40 (confirm vs 35), Hit AC 26 for 33, 32 (61 if confirmed), and 29 damage respectively.
All hit enemies must make a willsave DC 24 or be destroyed.

Garret looks at the goo and laughs at the lich. When he sees the lich turn the rod, he says, “Uh oh.” Then the explosions start.

Zane avoids almost all of the explosion damage, from the staff he avoids it all, but some of the resulting explosions catch him from the back. (failed the 2 DC 31's, and takes 1/2)
Zane finds himself buried under all of the rubble, he tries to stand up, but causes himself to pinch something. (the non-lethal damage for being buried.)

There is a flurry of movement as the half dozen summoned creatures try to avoid being covered. Most succeed, but two large fire elementals get caught and buried in the stone.
The free fire elementals and the storm giant start to dig out the iron dragons. The elder air elemental transforms into a whirlwind. It will attempt to catch the wind that is flying around and hold it in place while the dragons determine how to hold onto it..
Meanwhile, the second storm giant the Beri had been casting appears and casts chain lightning on the remaining foes JU damage=66 SA (secondary target) damage=47 ;

Garett skillfully dodges all the explosions but can’t a rockslide - he’s buried and fails to get out own his own.
Zane also avoids most the explosions and is buried in turn.
Beri seals up the hole in the ceiling and his summons start digging people out. The giant sends some lightning at the surviving ghost.
Bosk insures that there is no gaps in the covering Beri made for the holes in the roof.
Tink finishes summoning some rocs and then casts reverse gravity on the rockfall. About half the rocks fall upwards, almost like the original fall played in reverse. She’s careful to target only the top layer, else the buried PC’s would just be reburied in a rockfall on the ceiling.
With a large portion of the rocks moved the summons are able to get the PC’s out of the rockfall.
The holes in the roof are successfully sealed between Beri and Bosk.
The last ghost, clearly outnumbered and outgunned, still stubbornly throws shirkens at Sesha. Two hit, doing 8 damage.

Watching the wind swirl around, Restlin tries re-casting forcecage. Maybe since the last one got destroyed so quickly it didn't count? Sure that makes sense.
It works, to his surprise.
"There. Caught the wind. Finish off this last poor soul with your astounding martial abilities, love, then we can get our poor melee folks clear and get out of this place."

Garret feels relief as the massive rock pile is lifted from him. He is intrigued and distracted as he watches the rocks gently float up towards the ceiling.

Restlin points out that the lich has a pylactery around somewhere.
Bosk casts cure serious wounds on himself and then grabs his spatula of corpse retrieval to try to scrape up some of the remains of the blood grass lich but the blood grass lich has been vaporized by the power of the explosion of the staff of power. He can find the 2 broken halves of the staff though. Bosk also says to Restlin that this lich is different.
Tink takes stock of the situation. There is no targets for her Rocs and it would appear that Zane is still buried somehow.
(Know [nature] DC 41 : Highlight to display spoiler: {You saw that he was a plant not an undead. You remember hearing obscure tales once of spellcasters who extended their lives unnaturally by becoming a mossy plant and this process was similar to a lich but different. Instead of needing a phylactery this type of lich used a rejuvenating seed and if it got destroyed it would regrow again in a number of days. If this lich has a seed it could be anywhere the sargrass pocket dimension is a large place })

He casts telekinesis and assists in lifting all the stuff off Zane to free him. "How are we going to transport this wind, anyway? I can't open a hole in the forcecage, and it will only last another minute or so. Got any bag of holding tricks up your sleeve, Bosk?"

Garret quickly dodges as the massive rocks around him start responding to gravity when Tink dismisses the spell. He kicks a rock or two as they pass by him on the way down.

I was gonna suggest the same thing, but use the portable hole as it opens larger, but you'd need a wall or floor or something to open it onto. I could create a shadow Ice Wall, and then open the hole on the wall, then we just move the wall over the force cage. I'd expire while we headed back where we need to be... The bridge in Hook City, right?, but then opening the hole, the wind would be at ground level where the blood grass is."

"I think Sesha's telekinetic sphere idea is a winner, provided that when we blow that whistle or whatever it was to get us out of here, it can come with us. If not, we'll have to go with that portable hole idea."

Before they leave Tink will encourage everyone to gather any items dropped by the ghosts or necromancer. You never know.
DM Mitch Monday May 7th, 2018 7:25:30 AM Garett suggests the party shrink the cage and put it in a bag of holding to capture the wind.
Sesha suggests a telekinetic sphere and wonders if they can teleport back to the Manfri.
Zane is shocked at Garett’s suggestion and makes his own about using a portable hole and an ice wall.
Restlin asks for ideas on moving the wind and is also impressed by the idea, but points out that he can’t alter the already created forcecage. He thinks the telekinetic sphere is the best idea, and also remind the party about the magical whistle that will take them home.
Tink also likes the sphere idea and points out that their enemy is probably still very much alive. She advises caution with the wind and gathers any dropped loot.
Beri agrees with the rest and suggest summoning some elementals so they have extra eyes on the field. He wonders if the trap is disabled.
Bosk digs through the rubble and finds part of the staff of power from the Lich. He tries to determine if the lich died in the explosion, but between the magical remnants of the many explosions and the giant pile of rubble it’s impossible to tell for sure if the corpse is just buried or if he got teleported away. He offers his bag of holding for the wind as well.

Garret looks around and says, "You don't have to know much magic to know magic can shrink stuff. But that shows how much I know, because you can't actually shrink that thing, whatever it is."
He wanders around a bit and watches Bosk pick up the staff. He says, "Hey, you know that think is broken, right? I mean, are we just picking up all the trash we find now?" He winks at Bosk, then uses his toes to dig through some of the rubble, looking for anything useful.

Tink holds up her hands and steps back from the whistle "We just had a huge fight and used up a lot of resources. I for one have less than half my spells left. One more big fight and I'll be throwing sling bullets"
"If we are heading back to that Manfri guy, then yep, sounds like a plan. There's a place to rest. If we're heading back to the Wold I'm pretty hesitant. We've got a good defensible position here. We put the sphere forcecage in a bag of holding. That will contain it until we open it again. We take some time to heal our wounds, and as Bosk says, make sure we are prepared for what we have to face"
OOC: Sorry guys, but another combat like that would likely have Tink sidelined half-way through
DM Mitch Tuesday May 8th, 2018 7:35:34 AM Wyar helps gather any items that can be found.
Restlin hates to let the lich go, but figures destroying the grass will ruin it’s day regardless.
Sesha casts the telekinetic sphere and lets everyone know they have 20 minutes.
Garett points out the staff is broken so why is Bosk taking it? Then he wonders who has the whistle.
Zane is still a bit uncertain about the plan.
Beri summons some elementals as planned.
Bosk points out that even broken the staff is valuable and he gets out a bag of holding to to the wind into.
Tink objects to leaving, pointing out they’ve had some tough fights and should probably rest.
On the one hand the party could use the rest - on the other who knows what’s going on back home. Can the afford another rest? (See e-mail)
Regardless of resting or not, eventually the party uses the whistle and finds themselves back in Hook City on the bridge. Or at least that’s probably where they’re at; it’s hard to tell with the field of bloodgrass covering everything.
The blood red grass stretches as far as the eye can see down both directions from the bridge. It’s hard to tell exactly how far it has spread on the ground, but it’s clearly spread in a much farther area than it should have in the time you were gone. It’s either accelerated it’s growth rapidly or you were gone far longer than expected.
The crystal sits about 40 feet away. It’s glowing and pulsing with power, so much so that the party can feel it even from this far away.

Restlin's spell selection is still pretty strong, but knows what it's like when everyone insists on going forward & you know that you're almost useless.
"Tough call." He thumbs through the ritual book that Manfri gave them. "Says here we just have to perform this ritual, but who knows what bloodweed mad nasties are terrorizing Hook City. Of course, if there are bloodweed mad nasties terrorizing Hook City, the heroic thing to do would be go help as soon as we're able..." And just like that, Restlin's talked himself into leaving. "I say we go, but if you guys think we should wait, I won't argue."

"I am more than able to continue as well.. hopefully that wind stays locked up and I'll be of more use if any bloodweed mad nasties come out, but while delaying may make things harder, having our spellcasters sidelined would make things far harder still.
Bosk AC: 40/18/36 (+1 Air Mastery) blur, blinking, DR10/magic, CMD: 35 133 hp /169 (18 are temp) Spells Tuesday May 8th, 2018 12:41:24 PM We are talking about delaying part of a day in a scenario where there might be an angry lich waiting for us at our destination. I vote for resting up first.

Garret, flying in place, just stares, open-mouthed, at the massive spread of the weed.
Zane (JCC) AC 46(33), CMB 22, CMD 38, HP (4nl)202/268, Blindsense 60' Character Tuesday May 8th, 2018 3:22:32 PM "I have enough to enhance us, but prolly only enough for a single fight. Whichever you all decide I'll go by, I'm good with." Zane takes a look to the sky, hoping to lay eyes on the ship, or possibly even the Inspector or one of his men, keeping watch for the Dragon's return....
Beriothian -- AC:38/18/36 HP: 166/231 CMD = 23 Tuesday May 8th, 2018 9:17:04 PM
Beri shakes his head at the thought of what may be waiting for them. I agree with Bosk. What we dealt with was a long string of safeguards that have likely been in place for a long time. And there were likely several similar locations to protect the other items. It's possible that everything was divided among the various stations, but assuming there was a backup plan in case one of the items was retrieved, we should assume the final effort to defeat his plan is going to be the strongest. And everything we've seen about this Lich suggests it won't be a single fight. The first attack resulted in endless waves of diseased enemies invading our city, and unless I miss my guess the last fight was actually multple traps we set off at once. I believe resting is the wisest course of action at this time, because if something is waiting for us we need to be ready for it..
Sesha [AC 35 /23 To/35 Fl] | HP 146/129 | CMD 33] Wednesday May 9th, 2018 2:13:49 AM
"Well, we seem to have a consensus. Heroes can't help anyone if they are dead."
Sesha lets go of her Giant Form spell, and rests with the others.

"Well, that's a thing."

Tink is quite relieved that the party agree to rest. She's confident they could overcome any obstacle they may face, but if something should happen to one of them and she couldn't do anything, well, she couldn't live with that.
Now fully rested she is ready to go.
DM Mitch Wednesday May 9th, 2018 6:06:55 AM Restlin debates the merits between staying and going but decides to cast his vote for leaving.
Wyaar says he can continue on but questions the wisdom in having their spellcaster’s sidelined.
Bosk votes for resting as an angry lich might be waiting upon their return.
Garret floats starring open mouthed at all the grass.
Zane says he has enough magic to enhance the party for a single battle and leaves the resting decision to the rest of the party. Zane then takes to the sky hoping to see either Auslander or Starblazer.
Beri says he agrees with Bosk and postulates that there could be a backup plan enacted if an item was retrieved. He suggests the Lich won’t be waiting for them with a single fight since the first attack was waves of diseased creatures attacking Hook City and the second fight was multiple traps they set off at once.
(Know Arcana 23 + Detect Magic) Highlight to display spoiler: {You detect a strong aura of abjuration emanating from somewhere near the crystal }
Sesha rests with the others and comments on the crystal the next day.
As Zane flies up he gets a better view of the city. It seems that almost the entire town has succumbed - grass spreads as far as the eye can see and tiny dots of movement can be seen here or there.
Restlin’s consultation of the ritual book gives the party more insight as to what exactly they have to do. It seems that someone will have to make a performance - the type of performance doesn’t seem to matter except it can't be comedy, only that some type of performance occurs. As the performance begins the ritual object must make contact with the meteor.
There is danger in the ritual. The crystal will give off powerful negative energy and the grass being spread will resist being purged. The other party members can use raw ability checks to assist the party member with their performance, for example fighting back the grass using strength or raw will power, warding it away with incense while not touching it, or assisting the performance with a Charisma check.
Once the ritual is completed the Bloodgrass in town should die off, and any local infected be cured of the infection.

"What I lack in talent I will make up for in enthusiasm with whomever does the performance," Wyaar offers and spends a few minutes scanning over the area around the crystal with Detect Evil just to be sure there are not nasty surprises about.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +16/+7/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 168/168 (Spells) Luck Points: 9/22 d20+22=24 ; Wednesday May 9th, 2018 9:59:17 AM
Restlin tosses the ritual book in his pack and turns to Zane. "I've been practicing for this for a while now, think I've got it." (Perform: storytelling +17, more w/ luck points)
"Hey rock!" he calls out. "Let me tell you why this plan of yours is nonsense. You see, me and my friends here..."
Perform: 24 - a disappointing start, but it happens.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:43/37/35; +4 vs AOO; Blur: 20% miss; HP: 206/232 Ki:9/17 CMD: 49 SR: 28] d20+7=9 ; Wednesday May 9th, 2018 11:31:28 AM
When the performance is mentioned, Garret leans to the side, preparing to "perform," but then Restlin says it can't be a comedy bit. Garret stands back up, then lets one slip and he smiles. "Sorry, that's all I've got."
As the others make offers, Garret says, "Well, I'm not sure what else I can do, but I can try and keep those grasses and vines away from you performing types." He goes up to attempt to pull some vines away from the rock, but slips and falls on his knee.
OOC: Garret does actually have a stinking 40 in acrobatics, but that's nowhere near as fun as I imagine Restlin's storytelling will be! Strength check: 9
During their time with the Sultan and his people, Sesha had shown she had some skill in performing dances. They were a regular past-time of her life-kin, the barbarians who raised her, and so now she danced one of the dances of her people.
She dances the Story of the Snake, the animal which she as a drow was named after. Her movements are lithe and limber, and tiny beads of sweat accumulate as she slowly moves and twists her small body.
Perform: 35 - Nat 20.

The druid shakes his head when he hears mention of a performance. The party's adventures have taken him across the Wold, and he can transform into many creatures people have never even heard of, but to actually perform is another story. Beri digs through his pack looking for inspiration.
Well I have this hand puppet that I suppose I could... maybe.. Oh! Did you just say that I can fight back using raw will power, well that's a whole different story. I'll just put away this little guy then and leave the performing to the more talented members of the team.
The druid puts the puppet back in his bag, and transforms into an air elemental so he can hover above the plants, and fights the plants back using raw will power.
