Rhesus bops one good.
It drops its bow and attacks with a short sword:
Two others follow suit and gang up on Rhesus:
The remaining three move out of line of sight of the hallway and summon spiritual weapons (halberds) to attack Rhesus (as he's only one in the room at the moment).
Koriah rushes in to help Rhesus and attacks one of the Skulks mobbing him:

Spasi continues his invisible vigilance of the backside, letting others finish off the ambush.
Round 3
Rhesus' thick hide shrugs off the lone hit, he then moves to the archers.
After being hit by three arrows, Clement sticks with Rhesus, closing on the archers and doing the best he can with his small blade.

The skulk takes a beating, but doesn't fall. the spiritual weapons keep attacking Rhesus. The wounded skulk drops his bow and stabs at Rhesus the other two archer shoot at Clem.

Round 4
Rhesus ignores the hammer and continues to introduce the skulks to his.
"Something coming from that hallway!"
Clement gestures down the hall .
"Yeah, remember we knew that'd be happening right?"
As he takes a minor hit from a single arrow, Clement grunts as he pulls it out and drops it. Maintaining his position next to Rhesus, he stabs out twice with his blade, bolstered by Bibic's rousing tale of elven deeds.

Between Rhesus, Clem and Bibic, the remaining 3 Skulks are brought down.
The Skulks coming in from B10 hustle down the hallway and come around behind you.
The plodding footfalls reveals a taiga giant that bursts into the room you are in (B4) and attacks Rhesus:

Koriah doesn't hesitate and rushes at the Giant:

Rhesus steps up and swings at the giant.
"You think you're tough?"
Clement winces as he watches Koriah take a spear in the gut and flinches a second time as he shares another injury as Rhesus charges into melee.
Sighing, he sizes up his own injures which he gauges to be still fairly minor at this point and instead works to prevent the giant's brutal strikes at whomever most angered it.

Bibic continues singing for the good of all (including the rhino) as he shoots at the scum.
Rhesus chokes up on his hammer and swings for the fences.
Clement feels the brunt of the pair of strikes from the giant along with Rhesus.
"I'd say dodge those, but that's like dodging an avalanche."
Realizing he's just a single telling blow from taking a nap, Clement mends his injuries in case it takes Rhesus and Bibic longer than an additional six seconds to defeat their latest foe.
Glancing over his shoulder, Clement is thankful he's not sharing the rhino's wounds.
The rhino misses, but Spasi zaps one of the skulk, though the other dodges the electricity. Bibic fires in some arrows and cuts one of them down.
Rhesus wades in swinging, mising twice, but landing one mighty blow.
The skulks continue on the the rhino, hoping to drop it quickly.
The giant roars and keeps attacking Rhesus:
Koriah stabs away:

Bibic continues singing for the good of all (including the rhino & Koriah) as he fires another volley at the scum.
Rhesus begins to whistle as he attempts to slam his hammer into the giant, unconsciously managing to miss the tempo of Bibics song completely.
"Swing swing swing and down he'll go!"

Clement catches Rhesus's struggles and provides a suggestion for finding his rhythm.
"Try rhyming? Don't the Shoanti have songs that rhyme??"
Seeing the giant almost knocked over, Clement wheels about to evaluate how much he'll be able to contribute to the fight against the skulks.
for
Bibic dispatches two of the skulks and Spasi's spell wounds the last. A mighty whallop by Rhesus brings the giant to its knees and Rhesus crushes her skull in an explosion of bone shards and brain matter.
Clem runs interference, but fails to connect with his dagger.
The skulk swings wildly at Clem,
But the blow clangs against Clem armor.
The giant down, Koriah moves to engage the remaining skulk, landing a vicious cut. With the party's attention no longer divided, the last remaining enemy stands little chance and it soon falls in a spay of blood to join its brethren.
This room is decorated with the frescoed life-size images of singing clerics of different faiths gathered in vaulted chambers. The chanting flowing out of each singer’s mouth in the frescoes is represented by floating notation marks that rise toward the ceiling over the head and fall back around the feet. A flight of stairs leads to the darkness below.
The door to the south appears to be sealed with another Doomsday Lock.
Rhesus gathers the various loot into the giants bag while the smarter types figure out which door he needs to smash down next.
"Not a bad little fight aye? Spasi how come you don't summon up them distractions every time?"

Bibic will collect the arrows, but he already has enough backup bows and lets them go into the bag. He swaps some arrows from his pack to his quiver, and is ready to move on, when he notices Koriah's injuries.
"Do you need some healing?" he offers.
When he's done putting his hands on her, he smiles, and turns to the others, "So, where to next?"
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"Not a bad little fight aye? Spasi how come you don't summon up them distractions every time?"
"That's because *you're* the..."distraction. Spasi almost says, but then realizes that might be the wrong thing to say. After all, Clem is a distraction too. "you're the best. Didn't think you need them. That's way."
Bluff
Spasi will identify the magics, then help pack them up for later sale.
He says nothing as Bibic heals his girlfriend Koriah. Ain't that sweet. He's sweet on her. I think the Spasi magic is working.
* * *
Pushing forward to B5, he pauses at the Doomsday Lock.
"Another one of these Doomsday Dealies, huh?" Spasi smirks at the lock. "Well, we have them Doomsday Keys, don't we? Who has it?" Spasi begins to pat down his pockets to see if he has the key.
When the key is produced, Spasi will wait for the door to be opened.
Bibic roots around the group gear until he finds the key. Holding it aloft, he says, "Found it!"
He'll walk to the lock and check it for traps first.
(heroism)
If he finds nothing, he'll insert the key and turn. If he finds a trap, he'll try to disarm it.
(MW tools, heroism)
Clement nearly steps forward to offer to mend Koriah's wounds, but sees Bibic quickly move in along with Spasi's larger-than-life grin and seems to understand matters fully.
He heads over to Rhesus and lays his own hands onto the Shoanti's wounds before bringing his attention to the conversation of Spasi's summons to pass the time while Bibic works the key.
"That rhino was pretty spectacular... could you do a lion? Or a panther?"
Rhesus
Clem
Koriah grimaces as Bibic's magic mends her wounds, "Magical healing always makes me itch something fierce, but thanks for helping me keep my insides on the inside."
The doomsday lock responds the the key you took from the medusa and the door opens with the soft rasp of stone on stone. A faint, flickering light illuminates the room beyond, coming from an alcove in the western wall. Within the alcove, a luminous globe floats in midair above a stone pedestal. A flight of stairs leads down to the east.
As you approach to take a closer look the globe shimmers and takes on the appearance of a moon with a skull-like face leering from its surface that everyone save Rhesus, identifies as a depiction of the god Groetus.
You notice that the globe seems to respond more strongly to Clem than anyone else.
Know (Religion)
Spasi takes a look at the globe. He smiles, looking quite pleased to explain it to Clem.
"One of them Scroteus Globes, this is," Spasi explains. "I see them in that one Calistrian Temple in uhm...Kaer Maga, was it? Not sure why they had one." Spasi can't remember the night, but he definitely remembers the globe.
He looks at Koriah.
"You know about these, Koriah?"
Koriah grimaces as Bibic's magic mends her wounds, "Magical healing always makes me itch something fierce, but thanks for helping me keep my insides on the inside."
"My pleasure, glad I could help. You know there are probably ointments for the itch, but I've never heard of that particular malady before so I'm not sure which one would be most appropriate. Perhaps when we get to a decent sized town, we could find you something."
Bibic nods thoughtfully at Spasi's description, "That's kind of cool. How do they work? Can we use 'em to look around this place like a Clairvoyance? Might save us some bruising."
He walks around the globe checking it out. If Clem can't figure out how it works though, he shrugs, and suggests they finish searching the floor before descending.
Rhesus shrugs at the itching, having been healed so many times the wounds have formed a thick layer of scar tissue.
"Sure Spasi, whatever you say. Let's go the other way."
Clement looks a little worried as he leans in to observe the skull-face looking back.
"So Groetans could look through this like the Calistrians could look in on all the rooms at the Kaer Magan Temple?"
Clement looks to the others, clearly having little motivation of his own to press a bare hand onto it.
As Clem moves close, the globe brightens, filling the room with light, but that's all.
A faint smell of seasoned birch and a stronger musty smell of dust permeate this room, where large stacks of lumber, together with heaps of billets, boards, and charcoal are stored. A layer of dust covers everything here. This room seems to serve little purpose other than that of a storeroom. The thick layer of dust suggests that it has been overlooked by both the Abbey's original residents, as well as the new invaders.
This area is clearly where the giant had been residing, as a huge mound of furs lies in the south section of the room. The room is furnished with two rows of benches and hangers. Two cloaks, one colored a bright red and the other a dirty russet brown, hang from pegs set in the north wall. The red cloak, embroidered with rainbow-hued spirals and fitted with two golden clasps, is a piece of very fine clothing (180 gp). The russet brown cloak radiates a magical aura.
Bibic does what he can to determine what the brown robe may be. He casts Detect Magic and analyzes the item.
(heroism)
"Good talk, Koriah," Spasi smirks as the Koriah ignores him. He was used to such things. For some reason, women tend to dislike him.
Perception
Spasi also inspects the rooms with Detect Magic.
Spellcraft
Clement is happy to put some distance between the group and the Groetan orb. As they explore their next pair of rooms, Clement aids his hand into searching the room for valuables.
Continuing the survey:
This room is furnished with tables, chairs, and a few sideboards. The chairs are scattered here and there, and the sideboards have been smashed open and emptied. A large cast-iron stove sits in the northwest corner. This looks to have served as a common room for the people that worked on this floor.
A group of simple sleeping rooms are found in this area. The nature of the rooms suggests that they belonged to servants.
This room contains a few sturdy wooden tables and the necessary equipment to work wood, leather, and textiles. The workroom shows signs of recent use. From the tools and scraps laid out, you can tell that whoever used it last was working on traps and golems.
None of the above rooms have any detectable magic.
Bibic considers offering the cloak to Spasi, but figures he'll figure it out for himself as well, and refrains, grinning at the thought.
He searches the rooms casually as they go (take-10 for 27 perception) and collects the golem notes at least.
When the group is ready, he suggests, "Shall we see what's below?" He heads to B5.
Clement stifles a yawn after another trio of fairly uninteresting rooms.
"Yeah, down's good. What do you think Spasi? You ready to go down?"
Spasi explains what he thinks the cloak is, and how it might be sort of effective at some times, kind of like Bibic.
"Yeah, well...does anyone want it?" Spasi offers it around, including to Koriah, figuring it would be better than anything the Pathfinders might offer. He glances over the notes before taking them as well, noting that there is a well-known golem crafters in Kaer Maga.
"Yeah, down's good. What do you think Spasi? You ready to go down?"
Spasi nods. "Yeah yeah. Let's go."
Rhesus rejects the cloak, the words cursed causing him to reject it. He bangs through the tools and notes without really reading them.
"We can get these on the way back. Let's head down."
