DM Mitch Wednesday January 16th, 2019 8:44:00 AM Garret sees nothing wrong with going after Agatha now.
Restlin is bummed the Dragons are not in agreement so he relents on looking for Agatha first
Wyaar disagrees with Bosk on the definition of honor but figures now isn't the time to argue
Beri laments the fact Agatha didn't leave word and asks the custodian some questions.
Zane reflects on different definitions of honor being against splitting the group as well.
Tink wonders what they should do with Chuck and Dock.
The custodian says, “The telepathy I possess can extend throughout the tower. The cultists roam the section you are heading towards. The traps and monsters grow in power as you ascend higher; the cultists will have cleared many of them but may have replaced them with threats of their own. I will send your friends to meet you, they should be safe enough where you currently reside.”
Soon Chuck and Dock rejoin the group. The invisible servants spread out to watch for danger and help keep the party safe while they rest before ascending.

Restlin takes a look around here at the base, trying to see what the cult did here and if they left anything behind.

If we are healed and have plenty of spells I agree we should head out before things get worse. Beri is ready to head out when the others are, but will agree to wait if anyone feels they need a rest first.

DM Mitch Thursday January 17th, 2019 8:12:28 AM Restlin resolves himself to the path they've chosen.
Garret mutters about cults always wrecking things
Sesha tries to comfort Garret by reminding him that bad people are the reasons the iron dragons exist.
zane looks for potions
Beri also prepares for what is in store
Bosk plays heal and buff bot. It’s been maybe an hour since the fight.
Tink says she’s fine to move on.
Saying goodbye to their non-combatant friends (and Megaman who’s weapons still aren’t working), the party begins to ascend the tower. The first several floors are cleared quickly and easily - the threats were mostly cleared by the cultists and remainder are no match for the powerful party. They occasionally see signs that some cultist got unlucky - torn scraps of black fabric and/or bloodstains - but it seems they are retrieving the corpses of their fellows either out of respect or to fuel the creation of undead.
The first sign of cultists being present is the faint sound of voices ahead. As the party grows closer it becomes clear that a small pack of cultists are arguing about something up ahead (perception 40 Highlight to display spoiler: { they’re arguing about how best to trap the hallway}. Then as the party turns a corner the party suddenly finds themselves looking at the arguing group. There are 4 of them, a dwarf, an elf, a halfling, and a half-elf. They sounded much farther away; the strange material of the building must distort the sound.
They notice the party. ”They’re here already?” one yelps. ”Warn the others!” the halfling cries.
The Halfling casts Prismatic Wall, filling the hallway. The other three run down the hall and turn a corner. The halfling makes it to the turn but is still in sight through the wall.

Garret trudges along with the others, wondering when they're going to find more food. He is as surprised as the others when they suddenly spot the other group. He reacts quickly when he hears they are going to warn others: he steps forward and into nothingness, appearing at the corner beyond the halfling, with the intent of trying to stop the others who are running away. If he can, he will block the halfling from continuing to run, but only enough so he can run after the others.

Once Tink destroys the wall before them, Beri casts wall of stone down the hallway and blocks off the retreat of all of the enemies.

Restlin thinks to throw up his own wall, but Beri beat him to it. Good on him.
Instead, he drops a black tentacles spell on them to help make sure they really do stay put.

DM Mitch d20+11=20 ; d20+12=24 ; Friday January 18th, 2019 3:42:24 AM Garret considers going after the other halfling but the prismatic wall bars his way. Moments later one of his allies brings it down and he successfully damages and stuns the enemy haflling.
Zane admires the wall while admitting he can't do anything about it.
Wyaar isn't sure if arrows can pass through prismatic walls and raises his bow but doesn't draw
Tink casts mage's disjunction tearing down the wall.
Beri chases after the cultists. After he has line of sight from passing the turn he uses wall of stone to try to trap the fleeing cultists.
Restlin follows after Bosk and attempts to grapple the fleeing cultists with black tentacles. He easily snares the dwarf, but the other two have Freedom of Movement active and cannot be grappled.
Sesha prepares to counterspell the halfling. (Was the 26 your counterspell check?)
Bosk charges up and crits the halfling, critting for a good chunk of his hp.
The Hafling, staggered, low on health, and surrounded by foes, casts Dimension Door as his one action. Sesha counterspells, but her check is 1 short. The halfling reappears at the end of the 2nd hallway right before the wall of stone.
The Elf casts Dispel Magic but fails to destroy the Black Tentacles holding his college.
The Half-elf facepalms before quickly casting Freedom of Movement on the Dwarf.
The Dwarf casts Phase Door on the stone wall and goes right through it.
Garret, Beri, Restlin, and Bosk are at the end of the first hall. The cultists are grouped at the end of the 2nd hall that is about 100 feet long.

Garret takes a parting shot at the staggered halfling. He looks up at the next hallway and again dimension steps to get beyond the dwarf who has passed the stone wall, attempting to block him from heading further down the hallway. He will make another attempt to stop this guy, too.

Bosk starts to deliver a deadly blow to the halfling but the halfling is already dead (you can have your hero point back).
Wyarr also catches up.
The party is now grouped on one side of the stone wall. The two cultists go through the Phase Door prepared by the dwarf - the parties line of sight is cut off from the enemy now.
On the other side of the wall the Elf gets serious. He casts Time Stop, then uses his two free rounds to cast Mass Invisibility and Obscuring Mist. Even as they fade from view a fog fills the area past the stone wall limiting vision to 5 feet.
The Half-Elf, confident he can’t be interrupted or counterspelled, casts Word of Recall. ”I will make sure the other’s know! Be quick to make your escape brothers!” he says before he is teleported away.
The Dwarf makes his save, casts Quickened Haste, and then books it at a flat run, easily making it 100 feet and around the next corner. Garret gets an attack of opportunity if he has some way of seeing invisible targets.

"Well bother," sighs Restlin as the half-elf makes his escape. He can see invisible creatures just fine, but that doesn't matter much with the mist in the way too.
He doesn't want to use too many of his spells right now, so he sticks close to the group and offers a bit o' luck to any takers.

Let's keep pushing before they have a chance to regroup and prepare for us!"
She's all in favor of stoneshaping a hole in this wall and keeping up the pace.
Tink's not used to being the one looking to rush ahead so quickly. Maybe it's just this place or the tension of having the fate of the Wold at stake? Maybe it's the thought of Agatha in trouble? Hmm.. probably not that last one.

Ooc: Bosk instead uses AoO to grab the halfling as it falls dying to the ground. (I don't want to leave any loot or clues behind.
As the others plan what to do next Book searches the corpse and relieves it of it's treasures, as well as using his spatula of corpse retrieval to collect some sort components from it.

Wyaar peers around to make sure no other surprises are visible.
Zane says , “ok now what?”
Beri remarks at how the enemies were surprisingly well prepares and offers to make a hole in the stone.
Zane suggests saving the spell and just using a weapon to break down a wall.
Tink argues that the weapon would take too long and that Beri should use the spell so they can press on while their adversaries are vulnerable.
Bosk searches the corpse of the halfling for loot and clues.
Sesha isn't sure what to think of of a well prepared response to them that includes 9th level spells.
The elf uses the parties indecision as a chance to cast his own word of recall and escape. With no one able to give chase no doubt the dwarf is also long gone.
Bosk searches the corpse of the caster they did catch. There aren’t really any clues, just standard caster gear. It seems the halfling was a sorcerer, as there are no spell components or holy symbol.

"Word of Recall returns a person to their sanctuary. I very much doubt it is within here. It would make no sense to have an escape plan for this place that does not allow you to escape. If they have left, then it might be possible they cannot return. Would the custodian of this place allow direct teleportation into the Bone Tower? I'm not sure. If they can leave and return though it would mean we could do the same. That at least would be some comfort. That we are not trapped here"

Beri] does just that . [b]Tink agrees with the group and takes the lead.
The party advances quickly through the rest of the floor. There are many turns and forks - it’s very mazelike, probably why the enemy chose it as a place to lay traps.
They eventually find their way to the other side where another ornate door stands. On previous floors these doors almost always marked the way up and had a trap or encounter the cultists had already dealt with on the other side.

"Tink, what do you think? Is it trapped on this side?"
Sesha scoops up the diamond dust. She was the most likely to need it, as it fueled her restoration spells, which she could cast as needed.
"I know I have access to both of those spells Tink. Other than that one being a witch, I know that clerics with the Trickery domain can cast both spells as well. Either way, we need to be ready to help allies who lose their senses."

Best plan I have for that is to summon an elemental swarm or something with a strong ability to resist/avoid the traps waiting for us. If you agree I'll summon them prior to our entrance.
Beri thinks back on the traps they saw on the way up so he can summon something resistant to the trap patterns they've seen so far perception = 39

Tink nods to Beri. Summons might be helpful at this point.
Tink looks closely over the door for any signs of traps - magical or otherwise. She checks to see if it has been disturbed in any way recently. Smudges on it? Dust? Drops of sweat or blood? The party have followed the same path as that invisible dwarf so chances are he escaped through here.
She will direct everyone to take a step back while she looks more closely. If she finds signs of a non-magical trap she will attempt to disable it. If any signs of magic, however, she too will step back.

Bosk hands over the items, keeping the scroll of shadow walk and the potion for himself.
Ooc: Did the traps have any specific element associated with them? I would like to cast elemental protection and resistance spells accordingly, based on what we saw cast and what the traps reveal.
DM Mitch Thursday January 24th, 2019 7:05:31 AM Garret asks Tink if there are traps.
Sesha scoops up the diamond dust and surmises it could have been a witch or a cleric with trickery domain.
Restlin looks over the door with arcane sight.
Zane picks up the 3 items he mentioned.
Beri expects a trap and starts summoning an elemental storm after consulting with the group.
Tink agrees with Beri's idea while checking the door for traps.
Bosk hands over the items, keeping a choice few for himself.
Restlin and Tink examine the door thoroughly. While it reads faintly of magic it has no magical traps. As far as Restlin can tell it’s just enchanted for extra strength. Tink in turn finds no evidence of a mechanical trap - there are no mechanisms on this side of the door that could shoot out something dangerous, drop something on them, or cause the floor to collapse.
When the party opens the door it becomes a different story. The next room positively glows with power. The entire area seems to be enchanted with something and several other magical auras and protrusions indicate the entire hall is full of dozens of traps. The cultists obviously came through here - corpses litter the hall, some scorched, some decapitated or cut to pieces.
The party only gets a few moments to look however. Opening the door seems to have caused something because all of the lights go out.
(DM note: Ok so here's how this works. The entire area has gone dark - PC's without dark-vision or other special senses are blind. To simulate this we're doing a few things.
Firstly, everyone gets their own copy of the map and only what they can see or are aware off will be on the map. Everyone has edit privileges and I will only add what a PC can personally see. Ergo, if Reslin sees a magical trap and warns Garret, I will put the trap on Restlin's map, but Garret will have to use Restlin's description to put it on his own map. Communication is key!
Secondly I ask that PC's post using Highlight to display spoiler: {}. When I make the DM post I will describe to each PC what they can see of the other PC's actions, also spoilered. Please only look at text intended for you.
Thirdly the darkness affects your ability to detect, disarm, and avoid traps. If you do not have some form of vision active then the DC to detect, disarm, or dodge a trap is increased by 10.)

Upon seeing the scorched corpses Bosk casts protection from energy (fire) from a scroll on himself just in time to watch the lights go out. Immediately he slides into the shadows (darkwalk). He then takes a position behind Tink figuring his sight can help aid her, and he can attack over her head.

Zane leaps into the air and unfurls his wings as he does so, "I'll be hovering so I don't trip any traps." Zane says over the rings. He pulls out his bow (the smaller of the two bows) and if the deeper darkness is quashed, he'll shoot one of the cultists. if it isn't he'll shoot anyways, using his blindsense feat to help locate the target.

Guess we'll need to do this the hard way. Beri starts to summon (d3=3) greater earth elemental.
ooc: Beri is a huge air elemental hovering 5 feet above the ground. also, originally I had said I would summon an elemental swarm (5 large elementals atm) based on the style of traps we see. If floating would avoid all triggers I will to air elementals, otherwise earth elementals as the description seemed to indicate more cutting traps and they have the better natural armor and earth glide to go under trap triggers.

With that Bosk reaches 5ft in front of Tink and casts stone shape on the hallway. Only a thin line moved forward for the next 10 ft before it stretches across the hallway, transmuting the surface of the rock. The new surface of identical to the old one, but shifted back slightly.
ooc: Anything still mended into some takes 13 dmg. The point of altering the surface of the floor is to hopefully trigger any traps more then 15 ft from the group or render them inoperable. It is a large area, so the depth in not great... However the total weight of unaffected for pushing buttons down, and Stone is strong and super a fair amount of weight when on the ground.

Garret can see again, and wants to advance, but isn’t sure where the traps are.
Restlin is able to find a fist sized rock that must have been what the cultists threw. Rather than waste a counterspell he pockets it, cutting off it’s aura of darkness. Tink’s Sunlight is now making everything normal light.
Sesha casts Spectral Hand and searches for a target.
Zane takes to the air then shoots a cultist. The arrow bounces off his robe and falls to the floor.
Beri casts a summoning spell. The spell automatically fails - the area must be warded against summoning, probably to prevent casters from just throwing extraplanar beings at the traps until they’re all cleared out.
Bosk covers the first row of traps in stone. Unfortunately that activates one of them. Fortunately, it seems to have no effect - Knowledge Arcana 33 Highlight to display spoiler: { it is likely a one of the symbol types of spells, they trigger if read, touched, or covered up.

Highlight to display spoiler: {Cast Gtr Dispel Magic in the square east of the zombie as an area dispel. Dispel check: 40
Area Dispel: When greater dispel magic is used in this way, the spell affects everything within a 20-foot-radius burst.

For each object within the area that is the target of one or more spells, apply the dispel check as with creatures. Magic items are not affected by an area dispel.
For each ongoing area or effect spell whose point of origin is within the area of the greater dispel magic spell, apply the dispel check to dispel the spell. For each ongoing spell whose area overlaps that of the greater dispel magic spell, apply the dispel check to end the effect, but only within the overlapping area.
If an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by summon monster) is in the area, apply the dispel check to end the spell that conjured that object or creature (returning it whence it came) in addition to attempting to dispel one spell targeting the creature or object.
Should hopefully dispel both obscuring mists, the highest level active spell on any bad guy within 20ft of that point, completely remove any ongoing area effect spells with a point of origin within 20ft (inc magical traps - depending on type. some just suppressed - and magical objects), and remove the effect of other ongoing spells with an origination point gtr than 20ft away but only the effect within the overlapping area}

Restlin realizes no gust is coming and targets the visible zombie with Chain Lightning. The zombie explodes into dust and gore and the chain lightning shoots into the mist. From the cries of agony it seems he hit both cultists.
Sesha turns Garret into a wind elemental so he can fly.
Bosk says that he’s advancing and tries to spot some traps.
Chanting comes from the nearby mist. Suddenly all sound around Tink stops - they must have cast silence (no save, they cast on an area instead of targeting someone)
Darkness envelops the far back of the room beyond the reach of Tink’s Daylight.
Cultists have an AC of 32 and are currently totally concealed (50% miss chance) in the mist

The party don't really seem to be doing much damage against these cultists. Normally those guys would be well and truly dead by now.
"I guess the dark is affecting the party more than I thought"
"So, uh, anyone going to go over there and stab them? I'll run out of spells before long"
She tries to be a bit more direct.
"Right. 30ft ahead of me, 5ft west. There's a cultist there. 20ft ahead of me, 15ft west. Another. 25ft ahead of me, 15ft west. A zombie. That's around 50ft dead ahead of you Zane. I'm going to reverse gravity the area but you can still target them no problem. Even if you can't see them you can still try to target them.
If you need to you can hug the right hand wall. I think I dispelled some things along the way and certainly debuffed those cultists a little"

Zane uses his blindsense (60' range) to pinpoint any Tink doesn't spot....
DM Mitch Wednesday January 30th, 2019 7:48:32 PM Zane activates his ring of invisibility and then flies behind Tink and Garret.
Restlin presses his luck looking for some extra bat guano for fireballs and fails suffering a -6 on his next attack roll for his efforts.
Garret flies a bit forward looking for targets. A trap tries to create a forecage around him - DC 20 reflex to jump out of the way.
Beri sends one of his remaining elementals just short of entering the room and instructs it in Terran to relay anything it sees to him and its brethren. He then clears out any remaining mist using wind gusts.
The elemental scout reports in Terran, Highlight to display spoiler: {“I sense a corpse 15 feet into the room on the left hand side against the wall, another corpse 30 feet into the room in the middle, a cultist 40 feet into the room also in the middle, a zombie 45 feet into the room also in the middle, another cultist 50 feet into the room on the right hand side 5 feet from the wall, and another corpse 60 feet into the room on the left hand side against the wall. I also sense some kind of magic trap in contact with ground squares 15 feet into the room on the left 5 foot from the wall and 45 feet into the room on the right hand side against the wall.”}
Wyaar turns his attention to the rear to hopefully prevent any flanking that may or may not occur.
Tink casts flaming sphere and describes the location of the cultists. The cultist manages to dodge the sphere. She takes a closer look at the zombies and realizes they’re basic, ordinary zombies that probably couldn’t even damage the Iron Dragons. She then fills most of the hallway with Antigravity Field causing all the cultist and the zombie to fall to the ceiling
Bosk finds himself looking up at the cultists. Undeterred, he advances and hits one. Unfortunately he still sets off a Meteor Swarm trap (activates when anyone enters it’s sightline, has true seeing)
Bosk, Garret, Tink, and Cultist 1 are targeted by flying meteors. Bosk and Garret are missed by the flying meteor, but Tink and the Cultist are hit - Tink takes 6 damage.
The explosions envelop the party. The cultists take heavy damage; the zombie is incinerated. Tink, Bosk, and Garret have to make 4 DC 23 reflex saves, damage is 18, 21, 23, 20 (half on save).
Sesha, Zane, and Wyarr have to make 1 save or take the 20 damage.
Cultists 2, 3, and 4 retreat to the back of the room.
Cultist 1 gets a crazed look on his face. ”FOR GARGUL!” he proclaims and then he runs 10 feet and sets off another Meteor swarm (withdraw action, he has true seeing, no AoO).
The second trap targets the cultist, Bosk, Tink, and Garret. Bosk and the Cultist are hit, Bosk takes 5 damage from impact. The cultist dies from the ensuing explosions.
Four explosions hit Bosk, Tink, and Garret; they have to save vs DC 23 reflex four times or take 26, 12, 20, and 27 damage.
Sesha, Zane, and Wyarr have to save twice or take the 20 and 27 damage.
Restlin has to save vs the 27 damage.
If anyone falls under 150 hp they must make a DC 21 Fort save or instantly die from the Symbol of Death activated by the Stone Shape.

Beri repeats over the link the information the elemental is relaying him: My elemental is reporting that it sees.... a corpse 15 feet into the room on the left hand side against the wall, another corpse 30 feet into the room in the middle, a cultist 40 feet into the room also in the middle, zombie 45 feet into the room also in the middle, another cultist 50 feet into the room on the right hand side 5 feet from the wall, and another corpse 60 feet into the room on the left hand side against the wall.
Oh, and it sense some kind of magic trap in contact with ground squares 15 feet into the room on the left 5 foot from the wall and another 45 feet into the room on the right hand side against the wall.
With minimal options available to the druid, he proceeds cast his own flaming sphere.

Since the cultists are able to walk freely through the Reverse Gravity Tink dismisses the spell to enable the rest of the party to push forward safely.
Tink keeps the flaming sphere rolling, and, unable to fly ahead this round settles with a 5ft step

Restlin dances among the meteor swarm, coming out the otherside unscathed.
Reflex 42 + ring of evasion = no damage
He doesn't want to use any more spells since the cultists are beat down, but when every one of Wyarr's arrows somehow misses, he sighs and gets to work.
Aiming 20' feet past the cultists, he summons a wall of ice across the entire expanse. It should block the entire hallway and is 17" thick. No one's close enough (that Restlin can see) to make a save against it. Each 10' section has 51 hp and takes half damage from anything other than fire.
"There. Now they can't get away. Go stab them or something so we can get on with this."

Beri informs the others what the earth elemental sensed and then creates his own flaming sphere.
Sesha dispels the silence
Tink moves her fire and advances some. Her Hand of Glory pushes back the darkness and reveals the other two cultists (I assume you have it out shedding light)
Wyarr actually manages to land 2 hits dropping a cultist. (cultist 2 was out of concealment)
Restlin blocks the cultists retreat.
Garret tries to dimension step to a cultist, but finds the he can’t. The area must be warded against magical teleportation effects. Behind him in the Forcecage magical blades appear and start slashing all over the place. Good thing he dodged it.
The cultists retreat into the shadows… and then suddenly appear next to Sesha! Cultists 3, severely weakened by Tink’s symbol, still manages to reach out and touch Sesha. The other easily catches her. Fort save vs DC 22 twice. On a failure she takes 47 and 53 damage. On success she takes 23 and 21 damage.

Restlin scooches to the side so the melee folks can move up and clobber the thugs hurting his girlfriend. Truly, a man of unparalleled heroics.
He's still keen on not using too many spells, but sees Tink heading towards the wall he made, a wall that's now shrouded in darkness.

Sesha hisses as their energy surges through her. It hurt, but it wasn't unbearable. She resisted the first attack, and Tinks garments allowed her to dodge the other completely. (Blur thingy that Tink does)
Sesha's spite spell activates, and the one who hit her, if he's still alive, is sickened and takes a -4 dex penalty for 24 minutes.
"That will wear off in awhile, but your probably not going to last that long."
She takes a five foot step away from the cultists and casually heals herself, removing the majority of his damage with a simple cure spell.

Zane attacks the cultists in range, they look fairly beat up but are still standing.
Restlin positions himself in the back so they melee fighters can have a fair shot at the combatants. He then offers to dispel his wall of ice if Tink so wishes.
Garret finds that any items are to damaged by the trap that killed the cultist or gone. His fellows probably just left the corpse to make into a zombie later.
Tink yells back to Restlin not to worry about her and only moves forward about 50 feet.
Beri has his elemental pummel the cultist near it. It hits once for 10 damage.
Sesha shrugs off most of the damage using a cure spell.
Restlin wishes he could see the look on the cultists’ faces when they realize the truth about Gargul and then hurries to use his luck to help Wyaar.
The cultists are incredibly shocked to be alive. They look down at themselves, then each other, then at Zane. Quickly they cast another spell; one pokes at Sesha while the other takes a 5 foot step to get at Zane. Both manage to hit (rolled against your blink this time, both made it) and Sesha and Zane must save vs fort DC 24 (we forgot to add feats to save DC last turn). On failure they take 58 damage, on success Sesha takes only 25, Zane 21.

Beri asks the elementals to relay any changes on the battle field and transmits them over their rings. Beri then moves his flaming sphere over to the next corpse and again torches it to prevent a future possible zombie attack.
DM Hugh - The Hallway of DOOM d8=1 ; d100=59 ; Monday February 4th, 2019 11:31:00 PM Tink decides to try to make it to the ice wall and back. She moves 5 feet forward and stops as she notices a prison of blades traps directly in front of her.
Wyaar slays the remaining cultists with arrows leaving corpses where the cultists once stood.
Garret calls back to Tink that he is moving up with her on the left and asks if she sees anything. He stops when she does after moving 20 feet.
Restlin pats Wyaar on the back, waiting to hear from Tink.
Bosk sees himself surrounded by traps and asks if the way is clear or if someone can disable the traps.
Zane takes partial damage from the spell but the cultists are already dead.
Beri asks his elementals to relay if anything has changed then moves his flaming sphere to the next corpse.

-----------------
"Right, so ah, found another trap. Let's see about getting people moving forwards"
Tink is able to tell everyones position thanks to the constant Status spell in effect.
"Listen to me carefully, Bosk. I only saw one trap along this route and it's about 10 ft north of you against the wall. This is the path I took, but you might need to suck your stomach in along the way. Take one step northwest. Then step north 15ft. You should see my flaming sphere to the east of you. Take one step north east. Then north another 15ft. You'll end up standing right next to me.
Garret, I'm about 10ft to the east of you.
Everyone else, hug the east side wall and start moving. 25ft north of Beri's flaming sphere is the trap. Beri and Zane: make sure you squeeze yourself against the walls just to be safe."
Move action1: Move flaming sphere Move action2: Move west 10ft
Sesha follows Tinks instructions, after using another small cure spell to heal away another bad touch from a cultist. She watches Restlin, a little bit curious.
"It's not like you to save your magic so efficiently. Something have you spooked?"

What's up with that, by the way? Since when do the underlings of the folks we fight have access to magic that powerful?"
Restlin hugs the east wall like Tink said. He has overland light active, but is only a few inches above the ground.
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 38/20/33, CMD 44 , HP 169/169, DR 5/Evil Tuesday February 5th, 2019 2:19:46 PM

We still haven't found a way to allow my elementals to travel right? I'll just have them guard the entrance for now.
Beri tansforms into a medium air elemental and proceeds with the others. He continues to fly above the ground, but lowers his flying height to so he's floating between the range of Bosk's height (to further avoid setting off unseen traps).
Bosk AC:34/17/30 blink, DR10/magic, electric/10, CMD: HP 172/172 Spells Tuesday February 5th, 2019 11:33:33 PM
Bosk sucks in his gut (squeezing) and flys forward according to Tink's directions.
Squeezing (Abbreviated) You can squeeze through or into a space that is at least half as wide as your normal space. Each space counts as if it were 2 squares, and while squeezed, you take –4 penalty on attack rolls and to AC.
If less than half your space's width, you must use Escape Artist. You can't attack while using Escape Artist to squeeze through or into a narrow space, you take a –4 penalty to AC, and you lose any Dexterity bonus to AC. Takes at least a minute.

DM Mitch Tuesday February 5th, 2019 11:42:01 PM
With the cultists gone and no active threats to force the party to hurry they are able to slowly and carefully work their way through all of the traps. In particular a teleport circle near the end of the room proves interesting, apparently set up to send some unfortunate back to the start of the trapped hallway.
A large stone door stands before them securely locked.
(I updated everyone's map with trap locations, position yourself near the end of the hall and prepare for round 2)

Garret flies over the last pit trap, looking down into it. He says to Tink, "I can try and give the door a nudge if you think it's safe to do so."

Wyaar waits by the door while the strong ones go to push on it and does a detect evil through it, just in case.
Sesha watches her teams sacrifices .. er, scouts, attempt to inspect for traps in a deity-level dungeon. She keeps a healing spell or three at the ready, just in case.

Beri examens the traps to see if they are all activated by stepping on them, and how sensitive they are. Do you think we can set of a few of the farther off traps before we get to them in the next room?
DM Mitch Wednesday February 6th, 2019 10:56:10 PM Wyarr advances with the group.
Tink comments that that was fun and that she doesn’t think she can push open the heavy door.
Garret tries to shove the door open but it’s a giant slab of stone set into the walls so it doesn’t budge.
Zane helps pushing but still no luck.
Wyarr detects evil. He sees nothing, though since the room they’re in is clear and the door isn’t open yet that’s not particularly helpful.
Sesha is ready to heal people in case they set off a trap. Fortunately, they don’t.
Restlin just stays out of the way.
Beri examines the traps more carefully. It seems the only thing activated by touch where the pit traps. Almost all of the traps seem to be activated by an arcane eye. If anyone steps in it’s narrow line of sight then the trap is activated. If he wants to risk setting a few off he can find more about it’s limits.
The party carefully searches the door. It has an opening mechanism that looks like it will cause the door to slide into the floor, but the mechanism is locked and will require a disable device check. It’s complicated enough Tink might take a few tries at it and she wouldn’t have been able to do it in the dark.
They can’t find any obvious traps on it, but then again they couldn’t on the previous door either and that’s when the lights turned off. If there’s an arcane eye or other mechanism that activates on the other side of the door there’s no way to reach and disable it from here. The wall has spells of fortification on it to prevent it from easily being destroyed or circumvented without opening the lock.

Restlin taps Tink on the shoulder before she starts and whispers, "That looks pretty tough, Tink. Think you can handle it? I'm sure you're good for it. You're awesome under pressure. Remember that time, when you did that thing? That was awesome. Everyone was super impressed by it.
"So, what do you think is on the other side? Could be anything. Maybe the cult got Kevintar out by themselves and he's waiting to kill us all? How crazy is it that Marteus is going to come and be helpful for once, by the way? Did we ever stop to think about how nutzo that is? Marteus, savior of man. That doesn't sound right, you know?

Garret watches, half expecting something bad to happen.
Restlin gives Tink a touch of luck.
Zane gets ready to jump in the way should some trap go off.
Tink finds it difficult to concentrate again
Wyaar knocks an arrow
To Tink’s frustration she cannot get the door open. She gets very close, but then a block slides back into place and she has to start all over. She realizes that, due to the unusual nature of this lock, maybe her teammates could help. Sure none of them are trained, but she could just hand them a tool and tell them to hold something in place.
(If you want to aid Tink make a d20 roll - no modifier. On a 10+, +2 to her roll. On a 1, you get in the way and she gets -2. On a 20 you’re extra helpful and give her +4. There’s only space for 2 helpers)

Beri slowly makes his way closer to the team I had some practice with this kind of thing when I was trying my had at being a rogue. The trick is to apply tension to the rotational lever there as you slide each tumbler in place. For a door this old, they should have enough play in them that they stay in place when you move to the next tumbler.

Tink grits her teeth and glares at the lock. There is no way this little thing is going to stand in her way. There is no way something so simple as this is going to get in the way of the Iron Dragons saving the Wold.

Beri readies an action to jump out of the way should the door side open, expecting either a trap or an attacker waiting for them.
Sesha watches Tink, and encourages the Halfling. Witches had a way of making people feel really good, or terrible, and in this case she chose the former.

Tink does much better on the second attempt, quickly and easily solving the puzzle lock and sliding everything into place.
Garret watches the master at work.
Zane waits patiently.
Restlin plays rearguard.
Beri gets ready to jump out of the way should a trap or enemy occur.
Sesha uses a bit of magic to increase Tink’s chance at opening the door.
With the puzzle lock solved the door slides downward. Well actually it’s more like whatever was holding it up lets go and the whole giant slab crashes downward into the floor with a BOOM.
A simultaneous BOOM behind the party alerts them to the fact that another huge slab of stone has fallen down behind them. It’s covered in mystic runes and the symbol of Gargul is displayed prominently, shining a holy light that illuminates the darkness and radiating energy. With an ominous groan it starts to slide forward…
Meanwhile, in front of the party stretches a long hallway much like the one they just cleared. Alerted by the boom, four cultists arise out of the stone they melded into.
Cultists 2 & 3 cast Obscuring Mist. Cultists 1 & 4 cast Heightened Deeper Darkness and Tink’s light is extinguished. You are strong Dragons, but the darkness will be your end!” one of the cultists snarls.
The teleportation trap fizzles. No getting out that way.

Blindsense Highlight to display spoiler: { Blindsense lets a creature notice things it cannot see, but without the precision of blindsight. The creature with blindsense usually does not need to make Perception checks to notice and locate creatures within range of its blindsense ability, provided that it has line of effect to that creature. Any opponent that cannot be seen has total concealment (50% miss chance) against a creature with blindsense, and the blindsensing creature still has the normal miss chance when attacking foes that have concealment. Visibility still affects the movement of a creature with blindsense. A creature with blindsense is still denied its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class against attacks from creatures it cannot see.}

An item in a creature's possession uses its own Will save bonus or its possessor's Will save bonus, whichever is higher. If an item's saving throw results in a natural 1 on the die, the item is destroyed instead of being suppressed.

While Beri waits to see if Tink's spell works he starts summoning a whirlwind on top of the location of the farthest back cultist.
Tink uses mage's disjunction to successfully dispel the darkness. Just as important, several magical traps fizzle out nearby. Her symbol of weakness affects one cultist and not by much.
Restlin analyzes the situation. The wall was only just starting to move and picking up speed; he’ll be able to tell how fast it’s going this round. Zane is point out cultist locations for him, so he can actually aim in the right general area.
Wyarr opens up and does 100 damage to the first cultist. The cultist is severely weakened by still standing.
Garret, Zane, and Sesha wait to see what happens.
Beri summons up a whirlwind and sends it to the back cultist (next time list the save when you cast a spell please, we figured it was 28 - 10 + 10[wis]+8[spell level]) the cultist fails to avoid being sucked up in the funnel
The cultists immediately recast Heightened Darkness, the two who didn’t cast it before casting it this time. The other recasts obscuring mist and the last is caught in the whirlwind.
Behind the Dragons the wall picks up speed at an alarming pace, advancing 10 feet this round.

RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 34/24/25* (Blur, +2 vs Evil) -- CMD 26 -- HP 208/214 -- Spells -- Active Effects d20+24=39 ; d20+41=42 ; Tuesday February 12th, 2019 3:10:40 AM "Why are you resisting? We're trying to help you meet your god!" Tink calls back to the cultists.
She casts another Mage's Disjunction spell though this time aims it a little further away.
Tink tries to think of ways that these cultists might have to see through the darkness they insist on casting. She's confident that she removed all of their active spells.
Knowl Arcana 39: To work out how the cultists are able to "see" their way around Perception: 42
Mages Disjunction: All magical effects and magic items within the radius of the spell, except for those that you carry or touch, are disjoined. That is, spells and spell-like effects are unraveled and destroyed completely (ending the effect as a dispel magic spell does), and each permanent magic item must make a successful Will save or be turned into a normal item for the duration of this spell. An item in a creature's possession uses its own Will save bonus or its possessor's Will save bonus, whichever is higher. If an item's saving throw results in a natural 1 on the die, the item is destroyed instead of being suppressed.
The will save for items is DC28
The spell has a 40ft radius so will extend 80ft into the room. Distance show on map.
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 247/268, Blindsense 60' Character d20+23=40 ; 2d8+11=19 ; 2d6=6 ; Tuesday February 12th, 2019 10:30:44 AM
Zane swoops forward to the first cultist and takes an attack....He tries a stunning fist on the cultist, as he's trowing the strike, he tries to remember years ago when he was studying at the monastery and the trouble he had then in getting the strike just right, he tended to destroy rather than stun....
Stunning Fist AC 40, Damage 19 (save DC 15) + 6 Holy damage
He'll continue to give locations of those he detects with blindsense, as he expects yet another round of darkness to ensue.....
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:48/48/40; +4 vs AOO; HP: 221/207 Ki:16/20 CMD: 51 SR: 29] d100=29 ; Tuesday February 12th, 2019 11:31:31 AM
Blinking in the alternating light and darkness, Garret flies directly forward to where he last saw a cultist in an attempt to hit it.
OOC: Straight ahead, charge attack. I don't know what to roll, I'm guessing concealment, 50% miss? High is good roll: 29. So if 50/50 Garret misses.
I moved Garret on Garret's map, but he disappeared in the darkness.

Bosk also flies forwards, careful to avoid any traps

Restlin (Carl) -- AC +20/+10/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 168/168 (Spells) Luck Points: 11/26 d20+33=37 ; 4d6+3=16 ; Tuesday February 12th, 2019 8:33:28 PM "Hey guys, this is important: I need to find out the name of the dude or dudette running this ridiculous show. Try'n taunt it outta them or something."
Over the ring, not aloud.
Restlin takes Shiny and motions like he's hurling her. A replica flies out and starts attacking the closest cultist.
Mage's sword: Hit AC 37 for 16 damage.
Beriothian -- AC:38+4/18/36+4 HP: 246/246 Blink: 50% Blur 20% miss, CMD = 23 d20+33=34 ; Tuesday February 12th, 2019 9:15:47 PM
The whirlwind appears, and Beri picks up a cultist (he will try to grab a different cultist if the one it's over fails to be sucked up), then drags the cultist backwards to the end of the hall,
Beri follows then follows Tink's flight path into the room (assuming no traps were sprung) to get out of the way of the rapidly approaching wall.
The druid looks around the room for any signs of traps and relays the information to the team over his ring. preception = 34
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 38/20/33, CMD 44 , HP 169/169, DR 5/Evil d20+29=41 ; d20+29=41 ; d20+24=44 ; d20+28=44 ; d20+19=23 ; d20+14=21 ; d8+19=24 ; d8+19=20 ; d8+19=26 ; d8+19=21 ; d8+19=21 ; d8+19=26 ; 4d6=13 ; 4d6=11 ; 2d6=5 ; 2d6=7 ; 2d6=10 ; 2d6=10 ; 2d6=8 ; 2d6=5 ; 2d6=9 ; d6=5 ; d6=3 ; d6=4 ; d6=4 ; d6=1 ; d6=3 ; Tuesday February 12th, 2019 9:18:23 PM
Wyaar continues to fire arrows at the cultist that are still standing and can be seen.

Zane attacks the first cultist going for a stunning fist while he resists being stunned he ends up dying from the blow. As Zane moves forward a spear launches itself from one of the walls at the dragon disciple and skewers him for 11 damage and he needs to make a DC 30 fort save or he takes 1d6 con damage per round for 6 rounds with 2 DC 30 fort saves needed to cure the poison over the duration. (OOC: so if you are poisoned each round you need to make another save until you make 2 total)
Garret moves up trying to attack the cultist and finishes off the mostly dead cultist. Another spear emerges from the wall targeting Garret but he easily dodges the large weapon.
Bosk also flies forward 20 feet.
Restlin wants to figure out who is running the show and try to taunt them to show themselves. Meanwhile he conjures a mage’s sword at Cultist 2 who gets hit by the magic blade.
Beri drags his cultist to the back of the hall and then follows Tink forward careful for traps. The cultist trapped in the vortex takes 6 damage.
Wyaar fires off another volley of arrows at the cultists. His arrows take out Cultist 2 and do some damage to cultist 3 but cultist 3 is still standing.
Two spaces crossed by Zane and Garret start to hiss and an invisible gas starts to fill the area. Bosk, Beri, Sesha, Wyarr, and Zane all have to make DC 36 Fortitude save or be Confused as vivid visions fill your mind (DC 35 will to ignore and act normally). As a side effect if you are poisoned by the gas your caster level increases by 2 for the duration.
The wall advances 10 feet.
The last cultist standing snarls and stubbornly recasts the darkness. ”I’ll join Gargul today but with his blessing I might send one of you with me.”
HP Tracker:
Cultist 1: dead Cultist 2: dead Cultist 3: 48 damage Cultist 4: 20, trapped in whirlwind
Cultists have an AC of 23
Within 10 feet of the wall you take 10d6 damage - half positive and half negative energy. Light is shed making the area normal light within 10 feet, even through magical darkness. Str check DC 24 to slow the wall down by 5 feet. It advances 10 feet per round.

Tink uses her Dimensional Step ability to teleport to the other end of the room.
"I'm going to check out the door at the other end. It might take some effort to open and I don't want anyone to get squished by that wall"
