Kithan nods, "I'll have to stay within range of the whisper spell, but I can do that." He adds, "If we don't want to risk Aara's familiar, I could take on some of the aspects of an otter, giving me the ability to swim well... but not so much in terms of fitting well in the pipe."
GM Blood |
The tiny familiar crawls into the machinery and is able to move down the pipes easily. It doesn't take long for her to report back that her way is blocked by a green light and there is a horrible sight ahead.
I'll just post the room description from her view, as she describes what she sees
A huge, vaulted chamber lies ahead, dimly illuminated by a green light. There a colossal, disgusting behemoth similar to a gigantic, greenish yellow grub lies on a heap of rubble, bones, and rotting foulness. The creature seems immersed in a magic slumber, and its horrid body seems to pulsate with an abominable, ever-increasing power. Access to the room and the creature is blocked by a green sphere of force equal in diameter to the size of the room itself.
Knowledge (religion) Cieslx: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
Cieslx recognizes what the creature is, it is called an Ulgurstasta a gargantuan undead worm like creature
Knowledge (religion) Aarakess: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
Knowledge (religion) Rohara: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
Rohara knows that an Ulgurstasta is intelligent but has no language. It typically will bite and swallow everything in range. Inside its body it will bathe a creature with necromatic acid until it turns into an undead creature. It can later spew up the acid as a breath weapon and release those undead to aid it in attacking.
Aarakess knows this and that an Ulgurstasta can extend millions of tiny tendrils in a 40' range around it to stop non magical ranged weapons from hitting it, damage everything around it, and make it harder to aim with melee weapons while in the tendril aura. Also it is immune to acid and cold, resistant to magic spells, and resistant to damage from anything but magical piecing weapons.

Kilthan says, "Do we think there's another way in? Can't help but think we need to kill that thing before it's evil can spread... or spread any further, at least."
Aarakess Halcorn |
Aarakess looks to the others.
I can get myself and three others in there. But, that does not move us all. I can also get the same three out as I have learned several spells to teleport us this day.
Memorized Teleport and Dimension Door. Can move Aarakess + 3 others.
Skorhald Warsong |
"So the creature is bein' imprisoned in some kind of force cage? If so, perhaps we best not be setting it free. And somethin' like that we'd want to be fully prepared for and sneakin' up on. I don't know that three of us would be enough."
Aarakess Halcorn |
Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 <-- not sure what the save is as you did not list it.
Somehow Cieslx's hp were way off. She should have had 1/2 my hp, which is 42, not 22. Her AC and Will was not updated. I assume I have not been leveling her for a while.
Does Spell Resistance (13) affect the Force Shield?
------
After getting blasted from the force shield, Cieslx flies back.
Aarakess, after hearing what is there, relates it to the rest of the party.
Some type of force shield. Looks like it is constrained, but the fact that it is here is very bad.
Justin D'Rite aka Sluuth |
"Well, we can attack it when we go all together. Wouldn't do to have casualties now. Especially when we bet lots of money on ourselves."
Justin adds:
"We have other places to poke around. Let us keep going and see what we find."
Kilthan Hammerstone |
Kilthan shrugs, "No, but it wouldn't do to have this thing feed on those that fall in the arena, either. If it's an evil that spreads, then I think we're best to stop that spread -- 'specially since we have the magic to heal up today."
He sighs, "Still, you're right, never hurts to check the other way first."
Kilthan Hammerstone |
Kilthan starts back toward the other door, "I didn't hear anyone, but given what Cieslx saw, I'd say we should be alert.".
Arriving at the door, he takes a moment to search for traps, "Best make sure."
Perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
Aarakess Halcorn |
With Cieslx meekly returning, Aarakess quickly heals the small dragon, if a little.
Healing Hex: 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (3, 8) + 9 = 20
Although not completely healing the small dragon, it does mend most of the familiar's wounds.
HP: 35/42
Whatever is protecting that thing, it is a powerful shield. A mighty deterrent to any who might wish to invade the area.

Kilthan opens the door. The air in this large hall is particularly noisome. The northern wall is almost completely covered by the remains of a wooden bookshelf, whose contents have long ago crumbled to dust. The southern part of the aisle is occupied by dusty pieces of ancient, ruined machinery that may have once comprised sets of semi-automated combat dummies.
Inside the room are six more Spawn of Kyuss and another creature that has a thick tangle of discolored entrails that clings to this lurching skeleton’s torso and winds upward to loll from its jaw like a clawed tongue.
The writhing intestines in this skeletal horror mark it as a mohrg. It is undead.
Mohrgs are the animated corpses of unrepentant mass murderers and similar ilk. The touch of a mohrg’s long, clawed tongue paralyzes living creatures.
These powerful undead latch onto foes with their bony hands, then continue to attack them while grappling.
People killed by mohrgs rise from the grave several days later as mindless zombies under the mohrg’s control.
Aarakess Halcorn |
Aarakess' Will is +8+4, so auto-save.
Seeing more of the vile unholy creations, Aarakess once more calls upon the strange powers of her strange patron, causing the pleasant smell of an elvish glade to pervade the dank underground room.
I cannot see the map. It appears all black on my computer.
Standard: Aura of Purity
Move: get behind someone with armor, but close behind so that the others are still within 10'
Stay close, I should be able to cleanse some of their putrid disease ridden auras.

Kilthan and Jag have been able to resist single Spawn of Kyuss so far, but the combination of six of them and the Mohrg is too much for the pair. They flee back into the first room, ready to slide back down if needed.
Justin however is immune to their fear and moves in chopping into one leaving a large gash.

As the cleric watches two of her companions flee back the way they came and only herself, Aarakess, and Justin left to battle the undead, Rohara moves up behind her dwarven companion and displays her holy symbol, "May the Lady's power consume this unliving taint!"

All the undead are within range of Rohara's blast, though only one took the full blast of positive energy.
Justin hacks at the one by Aarakess and damages in enough for it to fall dead, then hits the original one he hit and causes that one to fall as well. He then steps towards Aarakess to block the corridor. Then he smites the Mohrg in anticipation of fighting that once the spawn are dead.
Aarakess up if she makes her Fort save, then the Spawn and Mohrg
GM Blood |
At the command of the mohrg, two spawn move into flanking while the another one moves into attack but clears a path for the Morgh. Despite the flanking, they are unable to land a blow on Justin. However the Morgh swoops in and moves back out without hitting Justin with its tongue. Spring Attack, good thing you already smite evil'd it. One spawn leaves the room to the north instead of attacking.

I think no AoOs. Just don't know how much grabbing Aarakess cuts into the 40' dbl move.

Rohara will channel twice in quick succession quick channel again to destroy the undead She has labeled 7d6 as damage, but I believe at 9th it is 5d6. Rohara when you see this please review it. At this point I am changing the earlier 20/10 damage to 13/6.
Rohara Channel #1 (5 of 7 left): 5d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 4, 5) = 16

Rohara channels twice in quick succession after the first channel barely injures the Spawn. The second one is devastating and wipes out all three spawn leaving only the mohrg. Rohara yells down the hall for the others to come back now that the Spawn are dead.
Justin you are up.

School evocation [good, language dependent]; Level inquisitor 3, paladin 2
Casting Time 1 swift action
Components V, S, DF
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target one creature
Duration 1 round
Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes
Calling down a litany of anathema, you make an evil more susceptible to the attacks of good creatures. If the target is evil, it takes double damage from attacks made by creatures with a good aura (from a class feature or as a creature with the good subtype). If the target also has the evil subtype; when it is hit with attacks made by creatures with a good aura, it is also dazzled for 1d4 rounds. If this spell targets a nonevil creature (or one that lacks the evil subtype), it has no effect, and the spell is wasted.
While subject to this spell, the target cannot be the target of another spell that has the word "litany" in the title.
