Poke. You guys ready to activate the portal?


HP 93/93, AC 26/17/26, F +6, R +13 (+3 vs. traps), W +5, Init +9, Per +15 Feral Rogue 12

I am.


HP 25/150; Init +0; AC 21, T 10, FF 21; CMD 25; F+132, R+9, W+9; Perc +9

Krojun stands ready, his axe held loosely and his head held high.


Telekinetic Fist: 8/8|Male Elf Wizard (Transmuter) 12|HP: 50/55|AC: 13/13/10|Saves: Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +8|Init: +5|Perc: +2

Ready to go.


Male Dwarf Barbarian 12 [ HP 62/185* (0 NL) | AC 28 Tch 13 FF N/A (23) | Fort +18* Ref +10* Will +10* | CMD 33* | Init +4 Perc +15 | Effects: rage, 2 negative levels ]

No, I'm busy soliloquizing.

... Just kidding. Lez do it.


One by one the keys are placed inside the pillars where they immediately vanish from sight and the pillars themselves begin to hum and glow softly. Once all seven pillars are activated, the central pillar begins glowing and ripples with a vortex of light that combines all seven of the surrounding colors.

At the pillar’s base, the vortex whirls in on itself like a vertically aligned whirlpool, opening into a 7-foot wide circular portal through which can be faintly seen a long tunnel. The stink of stale air drifts from the colorful portal.


HP 25/150; Init +0; AC 21, T 10, FF 21; CMD 25; F+132, R+9, W+9; Perc +9

Krojun sets his shoulders and steps into the portal.


Krojun emerges from the portal into an enormous chamber.

This domed chamber is nearly two hundred feet across. A large pool of bubbling prismatic liquid occupies the center of a raised dais in the middle of the chamber. The spiky flanges of the seven-pointed Sihedron are engraved into the marble floor. Each tip of the enormous rune points at a twenty-five-foot-tall statue facing the pool with its back approximately ten feet from a partially concealed arched opening in the wall directly behind it. Each statue depicts a different figure, but all are imperious and finely detailed.

We've graduated to real maps! The statues descriptions are listed below.

D1: A towering man with gems set in his forehead and hands, dressed in robes and wielding a burning glaive.

D2: A short smiling man with a hooked nose and beady eyes, wearing robes and wielding a spear.

D3: A heavyset woman with a sneering visage and an imperious stance, dressed in a flowing dress and wielding a halberd.

D4: A voluptuous woman with a seductive look, large eyes, and long flowing hair; this statue is nude and wields a double-headed guisarme.

D5: A strikingly handsome man adorned with a close-cropped beard and a charming expression; his form is dressed in extravagant clothes and wields a lucerne hammer.

D6: A gothic beauty with wild hair and a somewhat insane expression, this woman wears a long flowing dress and wields a thorny ranseur.

D7: An obese man, his flesh rotten in places so that the bones show through, wearing a ragged robe and wielding a scythe.


Male Gnome Cleric 12 | HP 86/86 | AC 19 | T 11 | FF 19 | CMD 16 | Fort +12 | Ref +7 | Will +17 | Init +4 | Perc +6 | Sense Motive +20

Ensu steps through the portal as soon as he can follow Krojun.


HP 25/150; Init +0; AC 21, T 10, FF 21; CMD 25; F+132, R+9, W+9; Perc +9

Krojun gawks at the statues, his eyes lingering on the nude woman.


HP 93/93, AC 26/17/26, F +6, R +13 (+3 vs. traps), W +5, Init +9, Per +15 Feral Rogue 12

Oooh, fancy!

"Ew!" Jessamy says as her eyes travel to the last statue. "Who are these people?" Note sure; would we recognize them as Runelords? Don't want to meta game here. She lets her eyes drift back to the nude woman, an easier sight than the rotting man.

Once everyone's entered the portal, she cautiously moves forward, looking for any possible traps.

Perception (+3 vs. traps): 1d20 + 15 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 15 + 3 = 27


That would certainly be a logical assumption. You'd need an arcana or history check to recognize which is which.


Telekinetic Fist: 8/8|Male Elf Wizard (Transmuter) 12|HP: 50/55|AC: 13/13/10|Saves: Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +8|Init: +5|Perc: +2

Siolad's teeth are still tingling from his jaunt through the portal.

He blinks in confusion as he takes in his surroundings, idly trying to remember if he recognizes any of the people immortalized in stone here.

Knowledge *Arcana*: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36


Male Dwarf Barbarian 12 [ HP 62/185* (0 NL) | AC 28 Tch 13 FF N/A (23) | Fort +18* Ref +10* Will +10* | CMD 33* | Init +4 Perc +15 | Effects: rage, 2 negative levels ]

Dorf and Jess would recognize Karzoug (since we've seen him before), right?


Dorf and Jess recognize Karzoug. Siolad recognizes the rest.

    Karzoug, Runelord of Greed
    Krune, Runelord of Sloth
    Belimarius, Runelord of Envy
    Sorshen, Runelord of Lust
    Xanderghul, Runelord of Pride
    Alaznist, Runelord of Wrath
    Zutha, Runelord of Gluttony


HP 93/93, AC 26/17/26, F +6, R +13 (+3 vs. traps), W +5, Init +9, Per +15 Feral Rogue 12

"These are the Runelords," Jessamy says, as she realizes Karzoug's identity and Siolad explains the others.

"So now what? I guess we need to see what's behind them? Maybe we should make sure they don't have any hints first, though."

She cautiously moves forward, checking out each of the statues, starting and finishing with Sorshen's.

Perception (+3 vs. traps), Sorshen: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35
Perception (+3 vs. traps), Xanderghul: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
Perception (+3 vs. traps), Alaznist: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18
Perception (+3 vs. traps), Zutha: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
Perception (+3 vs. traps), Karzoug: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Perception (+3 vs. traps), Krune: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Perception (+3 vs. traps), Belimarius: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Perception (+3 vs. traps), Sorshen: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27


A careful examination by Jessamy uncovers no hidden traps or treasures on the elaborate statues.

You've got a bunch of hallways to explore.


HP 93/93, AC 26/17/26, F +6, R +13 (+3 vs. traps), W +5, Init +9, Per +15 Feral Rogue 12

"Well, which one do we want to check out first?" Jessamy asks, looking around. "Maybe this one?"

She points to the passage behind Sorshen's statue. Not sure it makes any difference what order we go in, so let's just pick one and go. Pretty, naked woman seems good to Jessamy.


HP 25/150; Init +0; AC 21, T 10, FF 21; CMD 25; F+132, R+9, W+9; Perc +9

Krojun tears his eyes away from the pretty naked woman statue and nods. "Good as any."


Telekinetic Fist: 8/8|Male Elf Wizard (Transmuter) 12|HP: 50/55|AC: 13/13/10|Saves: Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +8|Init: +5|Perc: +2

Siolad shrugs. "Eh, why not."

He makes sure to cast his extended stoneskin spell before setting out.


The party follows the long hallway for a while before it opens up.

This grand cathedral can be called nothing less than opulent. The floor is covered in polished red and white tiles. Thick pillars carved into the likenesses of the same beautiful nude woman with long flowing hair circle the room and support a ninety-foot-high domed ceiling, where a gargantuan mural depicts men and women engaged in all manner of carnal acts. Numerous plain ten-foot-by-ten-foot cubes line the outer ring of the cathedral, while at its center stands a pavilion of opaque silk sheets. Near the walls of the cathedral stand several delicate-looking cages, their sides more decorative than practical. Some of them contain what appear to be long-dead bodies, although one body in a cage in the chamber’s northern corner seems to be clinging to life.


HP 25/150; Init +0; AC 21, T 10, FF 21; CMD 25; F+132, R+9, W+9; Perc +9

"What strange hell is this?!?" Krojun mutters, holding his axe carefully. "What sordid soul devised a place like this, where bird cages hold men?"


Male Dwarf Barbarian 12 [ HP 62/185* (0 NL) | AC 28 Tch 13 FF N/A (23) | Fort +18* Ref +10* Will +10* | CMD 33* | Init +4 Perc +15 | Effects: rage, 2 negative levels ]

Pirknok growls, the tone of it matching Krojun's outrage.


HP 93/93, AC 26/17/26, F +6, R +13 (+3 vs. traps), W +5, Init +9, Per +15 Feral Rogue 12

"Oh my," Jessamy breathes, breath coming a little more quickly.

"Oh, yeah, the cages!" she says, snapping back to attention. "Maybe we should go talk to the one that's not dead?"

Walking carefully lest she somehow end up caged, she pads toward the one living captive.

Perception (+3 vs. traps): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Stealth: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35


Male Dwarf Barbarian 12 [ HP 62/185* (0 NL) | AC 28 Tch 13 FF N/A (23) | Fort +18* Ref +10* Will +10* | CMD 33* | Init +4 Perc +15 | Effects: rage, 2 negative levels ]

Pirknok waits grimly, knowing that he cannot match Jess in stealth and yet wanting to be by her side. Sword-kin ought not walk alone. The dwarf watches intently, one hand ready upon his katana as he scans the area for threats.

Perceptidorf: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31


Telekinetic Fist: 8/8|Male Elf Wizard (Transmuter) 12|HP: 50/55|AC: 13/13/10|Saves: Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +8|Init: +5|Perc: +2

Siolad visibly cringes at the sight of the murals, and his face pales at the sight of the cages. "...oh dear..."


HP 25/150; Init +0; AC 21, T 10, FF 21; CMD 25; F+132, R+9, W+9; Perc +9

Krojun follows, much less stealthily.

Stealth: 1d20 ⇒ 16


The party reaches one of the cages without incident. The man inside is pale and emaciated, clearly near death. What little clothing he's wearing are filthy and tattered.


HP 93/93, AC 26/17/26, F +6, R +13 (+3 vs. traps), W +5, Init +9, Per +15 Feral Rogue 12

"Hello?" Jessamy asks tentatively.


Male Gnome Cleric 12 | HP 86/86 | AC 19 | T 11 | FF 19 | CMD 16 | Fort +12 | Ref +7 | Will +17 | Init +4 | Perc +6 | Sense Motive +20

Ensu checks the man

Heal: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 Sorry dude, Nethys is an uncaring master, sometimes you win..sometimes you lose..


Male Dwarf Barbarian 12 [ HP 62/185* (0 NL) | AC 28 Tch 13 FF N/A (23) | Fort +18* Ref +10* Will +10* | CMD 33* | Init +4 Perc +15 | Effects: rage, 2 negative levels ]

Take 10! :P


The man doesn't wake but he stirs and groans at the sounds of Jessamy's voice.

Ensu can't determine exactly what's wrong with him but he's very ill and very weak.

The party's inspection is interrupted by the sound of flapping wings. From the north four women approach. They are all striking beautiful except for the horns on their brows, their fangs, their taloned feet, and their batlike wings. Each wears little more than a few pieces of magical jewelry and flimsy garments.


HP 93/93, AC 26/17/26, F +6, R +13 (+3 vs. traps), W +5, Init +9, Per +15 Feral Rogue 12

Jessamy's eyes widen at the new arrivals.

Anyone have Knowledge (planes) before we say hello?


Telekinetic Fist: 8/8|Male Elf Wizard (Transmuter) 12|HP: 50/55|AC: 13/13/10|Saves: Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +8|Init: +5|Perc: +2

Siolad cringes again when he sees the approaching winged women.

Knowledge (Planes?): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33


Male Dwarf Barbarian 12 [ HP 62/185* (0 NL) | AC 28 Tch 13 FF N/A (23) | Fort +18* Ref +10* Will +10* | CMD 33* | Init +4 Perc +15 | Effects: rage, 2 negative levels ]

Knowledge (Planes) to assist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Warn't none of these in Mister Brodert's books.


Male Gnome Cleric 12 | HP 86/86 | AC 19 | T 11 | FF 19 | CMD 16 | Fort +12 | Ref +7 | Will +17 | Init +4 | Perc +6 | Sense Motive +20

Knowledge planes: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15


HP 25/150; Init +0; AC 21, T 10, FF 21; CMD 25; F+132, R+9, W+9; Perc +9

Krojun sighs at the state of the man. In Common he murmurs, "Friend, please awaken. We are here to help. Are you in pain?"


Siolad recognizes the women as alu-demons, the direct descendants of succubus demons that have bred with humans. In addition to fiendish strength, they share their mothers' beguiling magic.

The man doesn't stir at Krojun's urging.


HP 93/93, AC 26/17/26, F +6, R +13 (+3 vs. traps), W +5, Init +9, Per +15 Feral Rogue 12

"Did you do this?" Jessamy asks the approaching women, suspecting she knows the answer, but wondering if they might still be able to avoid another fight ... or at least get some answers first.


HP 25/150; Init +0; AC 21, T 10, FF 21; CMD 25; F+132, R+9, W+9; Perc +9

Krojun moves to stand slightly ahead of Jessamy, freeing his weapon to swing if needed.

Hello! For the next week I will be at Gen-Con and/or decompressing after Gen-Con. If you're there, I'll be around the Sagamore Ballroom running PFS all through the Con. Feel free to look me up! However I will probably not be accessing the boards much so feel free to NPC me if needed! Thanks! James


At Jessamy's speaking, the winged women stop advancing and hover in place. They glance at each other briefly before addressing her.

"You are flesh and blood? It's been centuries since we've had new play things", one says in a sensual voice. "Do you come willingly or do you need convincing?"


Male Dwarf Barbarian 12 [ HP 62/185* (0 NL) | AC 28 Tch 13 FF N/A (23) | Fort +18* Ref +10* Will +10* | CMD 33* | Init +4 Perc +15 | Effects: rage, 2 negative levels ]

"We ain't no play-things," growls the dwarf, his katana already half-drawn, his face grim.


HP 93/93, AC 26/17/26, F +6, R +13 (+3 vs. traps), W +5, Init +9, Per +15 Feral Rogue 12

"What he said!" Jessamy adds. "We're heroes! Come to stop these Runelords!"

She can feel her fingers itching for her blades, but holds off for the moment, knowing they're just a quick twitch away.


Telekinetic Fist: 8/8|Male Elf Wizard (Transmuter) 12|HP: 50/55|AC: 13/13/10|Saves: Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +8|Init: +5|Perc: +2

"Alu-demons. descended from succubi. They've got demonic strength and their mother's flair for beguiling magic--don't let your guards down for even a second." Siolad whispers to the others.


The alu-demons seem displeased with the party's answers as they attack!

Krojun: 1d20 ⇒ 20
Ensu: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Jess: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Pirknok: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Siolad: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Badguys: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

The party is up.


HP 93/93, AC 26/17/26, F +6, R +13 (+3 vs. traps), W +5, Init +9, Per +15 Feral Rogue 12

HP 93/93
Touch of good: 0/5; Hunter's Howl: 1/3

Jessamy lets loose a primal scream as she throws a pair of daggers toward the closest of the demon women.

Using hunter's howl as a swift action, then throwing two daggers before taking a 5-ft. step south, behind the cage.

Dagger: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 14 - 4 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 6 = 8
Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 3) = 12

Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 6 = 8
Sneak attack (+2 Str damage): 6d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 4, 3, 1) = 15

Male Gnome Cleric 12 | HP 86/86 | AC 19 | T 11 | FF 19 | CMD 16 | Fort +12 | Ref +7 | Will +17 | Init +4 | Perc +6 | Sense Motive +20

Ensu blesses the group. Blessing of Fervor, see spoiler in profile if you need a reminder of the bennies


HP 25/150; Init +0; AC 21, T 10, FF 21; CMD 25; F+132, R+9, W+9; Perc +9

Krojun begins to chant the litany of heroes, recalling Hangar the Swift, who slew demons at the Battle of Many Claws. Inspire Courage +2!

As a standard action, he casts tongues on himself.


Telekinetic Fist: 8/8|Male Elf Wizard (Transmuter) 12|HP: 50/55|AC: 13/13/10|Saves: Fort +5, Ref +7, Will +8|Init: +5|Perc: +2

Round 1: Actions

Siolad throws a protective ward on himself.


Pirknok, where you at?
