"Otyugh. Careful for it's tentacles and bite. The tentacles reach far and the bite can deliver diseases."
Initiatives etc?
Ennoia |
"Can these creatures be reasoned with?"
Not waiting for an answer, the paladin takes out some food out of her bag, and throws it at the creature.
"There's more coming for you, if you let us pass unhindered. We have no wish to harm you."
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Shel Whispertongue PFS |
Shel waits to see if the others have any luck. It looks dumb. I doubt our words will have any effect on it whatsoever.
"Nice to see you, big fella. We just need to get by you. We won't bother you...you won't bother us. Easy peasy."
Auto aid on Diplomacy check.
Dalton Bodhi |
"Such a creature can be reasoned with? I do not believe I have ever encountered such a thing before." Dalton looks on with some skepticism.
He rummages through his pack. "Ennoia, did you offer it some food? I can offer it a day's worth of rations." Dalton chucks the rations over by where Ennoia's landed.
EndlessForms |
The otyugh snatches the food out of the air as Ennoia tosses it up. "Mmm! You give Tog good food. Good food, no harm. Easy-peas. Easy-peace. Easy-peasy." The otyugh smiles as much as it can for such a strange and disgusting creature.
You are able to pass by the otyugh safely!
The small opening ahead exposes a precarious-looking crawlway sitting a few feet above where the waterline is marked. The shaft leads into the darkness beyond.

Again everyone but Ennoia notes that the passage is trapped! There is a pressure plate a few feet into the tunnel and a tube sticking out nearby looks like it would release something nasty. There is, however, a small socket next to the tunnel. It looks as though a small plate might fit in it....
Shel Whispertongue PFS |
Shel takes the strange looking metal object that everyone decided might be a key, and tries to plug it into the wall there. "Everyone stay back. Let me fiddle with this. If it goes wrong, you all stay far behind."
Ennoia |
Oblivious of what's happenening, Ennoia nonetheless complies.
Delphine Tarrasquel |
"If needed I can summon a creature to set off the trap. And we can pass without issue."
EndlessForms |
Shel puts the metal plate into the slot and nothing appears to happen at first but when you move closer, you see that the pressure plate has been locked in position and you are able to crawl through the tunnel without issue.
Ahead, the qanat tunnel opens into another well shaft. Propped against the side of shaft is a crudely lashed ladder of dried planks.
Shel Whispertongue PFS |
Shel peeps at the ladder, wondering if it looked sturdy enough to hold her weight.
Perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
Sir Terramor the Blue Knight |
Terramor stays close behind Shel, prepared to rush past her and defend her.
Use Aid Allies, Bodyguard and Intercept. , I can burn an Attack of Opportunity whenever an adjacent ally is attacked to give that ally a +4 to AC.
EndlessForms |
Shel thinks that the ladder looks old but should suffice for your purposes. That is, until the ladder comes to life and tries to slam into her! Luckily Shel is too quick and dodges out of the way!

Shel, Ennoia, and Brachus are up!
They are immune to acid damage. Their adhesive automatically grapples victims when the mimic lands a hit. Strong alcohol or universal solvent dissolves the adhesive, but the mimic can still grapple normally. Attacking the mimic with weapons risks getting the weapon stuck to the mimic.
Shel Whispertongue PFS |
Shel jumps quickly enough to avoid the attack. Like a flash, she pulls her magical kukri and slices at the strange used-to-be-a-ladder.
Attack 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Damage 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Ennoia |
Ennoia moves into the room (incurring an AoO), then takes one of her durable adamantine arrows and shoots it at the ladder!

"Thanks for clearing the way, Shel."
Dalton enters his Snapping Turtle Style and runs at the sentient ladder, trying to grapple it.
Grapple: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17
Cannot alter map at the moment.
Ennoia |
Ennoia steps aside and shoots a volley of durable adamantine arrows at the ladder.

White Fang roars loudly and bares his long fangs at the ladder.

Shel digs her kukris into the ladder but gets the first one stuck to its sticky surface in the process! Dalton misses the ladder but Ennoia quickly finishes it off with a pair of arrows!
Out of combat!
Ennoia |
Following the ladder's demise, Ennoia gets back her durable adamantine arrows and cannot help but wonder, "Was that a hallucination or have just been attacked by a ladder? "
-Posted with Wayfinder
Shel Whispertongue PFS |
Shel takes her time and yanks her kukri out of the ladder thing. "I'm not sure what that was, but my weapons are sticking to it like crazy!". Once she gets it clear, she again takes point and continues to search the way.
Perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Delphine Tarrasquel |
"I have never seen a curious creature like that. But it went down soon enough, so that is good." Delphine comments.
She approaches the well and looks for another possible way down.

Just as you are about to descend the shaft, a woman with a small crossbow turns the corner just behind you. "I've found you at last! Dirty scum, you'll fall to the might of Lamashtu before you go any further!"

White Fang meanwhile roars menacingly at the woman.
intimidate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
though apparently a cat got his tongue
In her off voice she commands the woman
"Stay down. You are outnumbered."
Ennoia |
"You had better listen to her. Surrender your weapons."
Ennoia moves behind Delphine and gets ready to shoot an arrow should their ambusher choose to continue the fight.
Brachus |
Brachus moves back a bit and tries to get the woman to see things our way
"I think it might be better for everyone involved if we just keep nice and relaxed and talk about this for a minute"
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
EndlessForms |
Delphine puts the woman on the ground. She shouts back to Brachus, "Death would be welcome rather than fall to you scum!"
Sensing that the woman's words are infused with divine magic and that she is up to good, Ennoia looses her bow and puts an arrow in Zahrah's side!

Brachus |
Brachus is unaffected by woman intimidation (and therefor doesn't take fire damage) (10+7HD+5wis)
Brachus then casts guidance on Sir Terramor
"I've tried it my way..now it seems time to try a different method."
Delphine Tarrasquel |
Delphine is slightly taken aback by the woman on the floor.
reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

she reaches for a wand in her handy haversack and touches herself with it.

Dalton Bodhi |
Dalton nods slowly in agreement with Sir Terramor. "I fear that something worse than slavery is going on here. Judging by the strange, living ladder and this zealous woman - just strange."
Delphine Tarrasquel |
"Let us split up her gear and head down. Time is pressing." Delphine says in her odd voice and ties down a knotted rope to aid those going down.
If it is possible I would like for White Fang to come down with us. If needed I have a scroll of carry companion I could cast.
EndlessForms |
You eventually find some rope nearby and let yourself down that way, now that the ladder is no longer an option.
This passage bears signs of visitors from the world above in the form of scribbled lines of graffiti that gradually evolve into full-blown murals portraying twisted, nightmarish caricatures and jumbled rants against the city’s Pactmasters. Farther along, the corridor becomes littered with broken bottles, scraps of paper stained with brownish resin, and the stink and stains of urine.
