Libri the Resolute |
Libri inspects each room and makes note of anything interesting she finds. Libri grimaces as Taran finds that the pit is filled with half-decayed humanoids. "And this is one of the many reason why I worship no god...," she states as she backs away. The smell is appalling.
After Jorac translates the journal to the others, Libri thinks for a moment. "Do any of you have an idea about what "the Source" or "the Prime" could be? I imagine that our travels will eventually lead us below Silver Mount to investigate."
As Libri continues to open doors and explore the rooms in the area, she comes across a set of stairs heading down. "Well, shall we?" she asks the others.

Immediately down the flight of metal stairs you find the outer edge of a partially buried metal structure. A door allows access into the structure from the landing while brilliant lights cast illumination out to the south, into a large, damp cave. Far below, a pool of foul green fluid bubbles and smokes.
Hellion manifests on two of the monitors here beside the door, arrogantly warning you, "Turn back or die!" He sends a confusion effect through the monitors before disappearing!
DC 18 Will save to avoid being confused!
Taran Starmetal |
Taran raises a bushy eyebrow at Libri. "You know lass, they're not all bad. Take Nethys for example; he's all about knowledge and channeling the power o' the cosmos. Although... supposedly he's a bit daft from all the power. Errr, scratch that then." Taran shrugs. "Well, we'll always welcome you if you find yourself courting worship of the Smith."
-------------------------
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
As they push on into lower levels, Taran takes the lead again. When the magic assaults him again, he shakes his head in annoyance. "Enough with the damned parlor tricks, Hellion!"

Mef shakes his head as if trying to clear, the looks up with a crazed, angry look. Fixing a wild stare at Taran, Mef draws his pistol and begins waving it Taran. "What are talking about, you f#%!ing nihilist! You don't care about s!$~, let alone the gods!" Leveling his pistol at the dwarf, his eyes narrow as he slowly pulls the trigger. "See if you care about this, f&+*er."

Likewise, Libri's eyes widen and glaze over as she watches Mef shoot Taran.
"...the F@&$ are you doing, Mef??! I AM THE ENEMY. I MUST BE DESTROYED."
With that, Libri pierces herself in the stomach with her sword.

Eventually, you overcome your confusions and return to normal. What's the plan? Where are you heading?
Taran Starmetal |
Taran presses into the complex, throwing open the first door he comes across, full of sound and fury.
"And what do we have here?"
First door on the right
Taran Starmetal |
Oh, right. Terribad cleric...
Taran pauses briefly. "Ah sorry lass, this whole Hellion thing has got me more then a little worked up. Just about lost my head."
He applies the wand - first to Libri, then himself.
this is totally prompt healing for Libri: 8d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 5, 2, 1, 5, 6, 4) = 31
...and Taran: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
EndlessForms |
Is that a wand? I think you rolled d6s instead of 1d8 + 1. Never matter though and remember you can always roll out-of-combat wand charges for yourself and assume Taran took care of you.
Taran moves to the first door on the right and finds an empty room. The next door on the left requires a green access card and is heavily reinforced. Your gray access cards won't be able to open this door but perhaps you will find a green card somewhere....
The door at the end of the hall leads to a large room with warm and stuffy air which buzzes with energy. Countless blinking lights, wriggling shapes, and unusual strings of writing scroll and wriggle across glass panels mounted on the walls, amid a dizzying array of buttons, switches, dials, wheels, levers, and other controls, the function of which one can only guess.
Six immense pillars lined with glowing panels support the ceiling eleven feet above, and a circular platform to the east sits under a slowly rotating, semitransparent image of a curious contraption with long arms, one of which ends in what appears to be an immense, slowly spinning disk. Beyond this, two windows look out over a metal platform, which in turn looks out over an immense damp cavern lit by brilliant beams of light emanating from unseen sources below and above.
Rubble clutter the room's floor here and there, as if pieces of furniture were once affixed to the ground but had long since been torn free, while to the northeast, the room's walls have buckled downward into a crumbled mass of devastation.
But most immediately urgen in this room is that the place is under guard by a dark slayer and half-dozen orcs.

Libri got one less hp back. Wands used up either way.
Taran takes a look around. "Friends, I suppose one of you is going to tell me that I can't stick a hammer into the face of this Hellion thing. I suppose I'll just have to use these troublemakers for a proxy."
Taran uses a fervor to cast shield of faith upon himself, and then calls upon higher powers to bless the party.
bless, +1 morale to hit and vs. fear
Taran Starmetal |
Can I put in a request for another enlarge?
Jorac Kashtar |
Drawing upon his very last magical resources for the day, Jorac starts casting a spell to enlarge Taran!
Last magic point for the day, and arcane bond has already been used. Back to acid splashing!
Mefindio Chezwezlian |
As they move deeper into the complex, Mef clear his throat and nudges Taran. "Uh, sorry about that back there...."
As they enter the next room, Chez shakes his head and sighs. Moving closer, he fires at the dark slayer.

While the others prepare for the fight, Mefindio wastes no time firing his pistol, although the dark slayer leaps out of the way. The slayer retaliates by rushing Mefindio:

+16/+11 to hit with 3d6+11 chainswords is very... respectable.
Edit: was there a chance for an AoO from mega-dwarf as the h'orcs were moving in, or were the baddies being too clever with cover?
