It's okay, I got it wrong too! I mean, I got it right. Nilus is just worshipping the wrong goddess. Also, I had the peryton come out of the wrong door. I'm going to change history to keep things consistent. You just had a fight out of the NORTH door, which revealed a conference room. Isn't that fun?

The conference chamber reeks of death. A long table engraved with a relief map of Mendev stands to the east in this long room. A dozen bodies lie scattered about the room, each bearing a gaping empty hole in the chest, an obvious relic of the peryton's brutality. It does not appear to contain any valuables.

Meanwhile, Irabeth has wandered over to the northeast war room, and calls out.

"You should come have a look at this! This is the entire battle plans of the incursion in this region. This is priceless information!"

Gather it if you must Lady Irabeth, but our time is short...we must get to the Wardstone before calamity befalls us! Nilus says as he begins hammering at the door again

Ayesha pushed past Nilus, who was vainly hammering on the door, and slammed her scimitar into it. A flake of wood chipped out as she wedged the blade free. "You have a weapon, use it!"

Chop it down!"

Nilus smiles at the Kelish woman's straightforwardness Indeed..

Nilus hacks at the door Radiance: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 Damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Sarkast watches as Nilus and Ayesha work at the door, and holds up the magic chime ...

If the current assault doesn't open the door, Sarkast will use the chime to open it.

Irabeth patiently puts the documents in her pack as the group wail on the door. She walks over as Nilus beats at the door with Radiance.

"Sir, although we are unsure of the exact time Areelu Vorlesh will arrive, these documents could save countless lives. Do not presume to instruct me in the priorities of the mission I organized."

She draws her sword again. "Now let us get that door down."


.

The group all get together and start hammering at the door to the south, hacking at the lock, and doing what they can to destroy it. Finally, the door splinters and bursts open, revealing several zombies within!

The southern portion of this room holds a wide alabaster basin filled with bloody entrails. The outside of the basin is carved with images of warriors around a raised sun, holding longswords aloft. A flight of stairs ascends to the west. Six zombies, presumably once crusaders, stand around the basin, their own entrails partially spilling out of their stomachs into the basin.

As the door bursts open, the zombies turn to attack!

Initiative:

Nilus: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Dejik: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

"This day just keeps getting better and better," said Ayesha as she slipped into the room, aiming for the eastern wall. She lashed out at the zombie there, aiming for the head.

Ronan makes his way next to Jinxx touches him and A shimmer of protection is once again around Jinxx (mage armor)

Nilus steps into the room and slashes at the Orange zombie Radiance: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 but he fails to hit the despicable undead. Such desecration! Undead in a place dedicated to Iomedae

When it's Dejik's turn, she'll channel to harm--1d6+1


.

Actually, zombies have 12 AC.

Nilus' Damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Nilus chops down a zombie neatly while Jinxx and Ayesha badly damage zombies themselves. Jinxx finds the zombies' leathery hides difficult to bite through.

The zombies lunge at the group in turn! Jinxx is badly battered by two zombies while Ayesha takes a brutal claw swipe across the face.

Irabeth roars out a battle cry and charges in, swinging hard at the yellow zombie.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Dejik then steps in, and sends out a burst of holy energy. Three of the wounded zombies vibrate rapidly in the healing magic, and collapse to the ground as smouldering husks!

Sarkast glides into the room between Irabeth and Ayesha to the far side of a zombie and jabs his spear into it while it is still turning around.

Acrobatics vs CMD, penalty for full speed: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 12 - 5 = 26

Ayesha cringed at the blow, then smiled as she felt the life link with Dejik take hold. I'm going to kiss that woman! Then, she spun once more, aiming for the nearest zombie.

attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
damage, BBAP: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8

The group descend on the zombies, easily dispatching them and ripping them to shreds.

End of Combat


Female Magus 12 | AC 26 T 16 F 21| HP 102| F +9 R +9 W +8 | Init +11 | Perc +18

Ayesha cleans her blade, and holds it in her hand for a moment before sheathing it.

GM:

I apologize for using you on that door as if you were a common axe. Unfortunately we are in a hurry, and Nilus looked like he was simply going to try and slap that door open for the next hour..."

Hands free once more, she began searching the room with the others, looking for any signs of the wardstone, but fairly certain they were once more in the wrong room.

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23


Female Half-Orc Paladin 5 | AC 21 T 9 F 21 | HP 39/42 | F +7 R +4 W +7 | Init -1 | Perc +1 | LoH 2d6 4/4 | Spells Lvl 1: 2/2

Irabeth looks sadly at the scrying basin. "A great weapon in the war; it was said the scrying basin could only be used by the truly blessed of Iomedae." The holy scrying basin lies filled with the entrails of the zombies.

Ayesha takes a look over the room and does not find anything of value. However, she does find stairs leading upwards.

Ayesha:

I hadn't decided whether or not I would have a sense of dignity. I think I shall, and will forgive you for affronting it.


Nilus' Consumables Nilus' New Friends Paladin 7 Sentinel 5/MT 5 Guardian | AC 27 T 16 F 26 DR 5/EPIC | HP 166 | F +18 R +13 W +17 | Init +8 | Perc +13

The Wardstone lies above? Nilus says gesturing with Radiance. He prepares himself to move forward.

Nilus will head up as soon as everyone is ready.


Male Kellid Rogue (Unch) 11 / Urban Bloodrager 1 / Trickster 5| AC 29(32 w/Cmb Exp) T 18 F 22 | HP 122/122 | F +7 R +14 W +5 | Init +11 | Perc +21

"Should we check the remaining rooms on this floor before going up? I worry of leaving an unknown behind us."


Female Magus 12 | AC 26 T 16 F 21| HP 102| F +9 R +9 W +8 | Init +11 | Perc +18

GM:
My thanks, then. Can you sense the wardstone in any way? I hate to waste time here, when it seems that up is the way to go. But, it's guardian could be hiding in a broom closet for all we know.

Aloud, she said, "The guardian of the fragment could be hiding in a broom closet for all we know. Unless we know it's not on this level, we should be both cautious and thorough"

Sarkast, can you get these last three doors open quickly? The First People and I can stand guard in case anything comes out.


Male Kellid Rogue (Unch) 11 / Urban Bloodrager 1 / Trickster 5| AC 29(32 w/Cmb Exp) T 18 F 22 | HP 122/122 | F +7 R +14 W +5 | Init +11 | Perc +21

Sarkast nods and checks the locks on the remaining doors.

Take 10 for 19 Disable Device on any of them that are locked. Opening a lock is a standard action, so it should go pretty quickly.


.

With Nilus and the mongrels in tow, Sarkast begins exploring the remaining rooms. The southeastern room is opened to reveal a barracks.

Six cots sit in two orderly rows in this room. The bedding has been tossed on the ground, and an iron lockbox lies on its side, empty. A lidless box holds scraps of moldering food, while a pair of large barrels nearby look to be filled with water. It has no valuables of note.

The group make their way to the west door, and a strange gnawing sound is heard from within. The group gathers, and Sarkast throws open the door to reveal a goat-headed demon gnawing on the end of a halberd. It lets out a fearsome roar and attacks!

Knowledge Planes DC 14:

This is a schir demon, it is noted for the vile disease known as gray pox which is spread from its halberd.

Initiative:

Dejik: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Nilus: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Jinxx: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Sarkast: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Irabeth: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Round one, and everyone can go!

Nilus moves into the room probably provokes and attacks the creature with Radiance. He gives an annoyed grunt as he misses. We are here to destroy the Wardstone, not search the Garrison!

Radiance: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10


Female Magus 12 | AC 26 T 16 F 21| HP 102| F +9 R +9 W +8 | Init +11 | Perc +18

Ayesha grimaced as she saw the Schir demon, and invested her blade with a bit of her power.

If the bless weapon spell is still active, Ayesha will use an arcane point to boost her blade. If not, she will use the dragon's scale to align the weapon to good

"So ask him nicely where the wardstone is and we can be on our way. Of course, it doesn't look as if he is interested in talking at the moment. Oh, and watch out for that halberd. It looked like he was chewing on it, making it a potent source of disease."

.

Ayesha's skilled knowledge of demons also tells her that the schir has moderate spell resistance and is resistant acid, cold, and fire.

Ayesha:

I can still feel the eyes of someone on us. I think that scrying basin is important, it is a holy relic and should be treated with respect.

Ayesha and Nilus both charge in to attack with Ayesha getting into melee before the demon can react to her presence. Although Nilus misses, Ayesha's black blade sinks in deeply, drawing a howl of pain.

The archers, all prepared for something nasty on the other side of the door, all fire at once. A full three arrows hammer into the surprised demon, which looks around with panic as it is quickly overwhelmed by the group.

Spiderbeard, are the squares that show bookcases useable around the edge, and would they be considered squeezing? I would like to get into flanking with Nilus, but can't tell if that's a legal position or not.


.

Yep, they're legal and not squeezing.


Male Kellid Rogue (Unch) 11 / Urban Bloodrager 1 / Trickster 5| AC 29(32 w/Cmb Exp) T 18 F 22 | HP 122/122 | F +7 R +14 W +5 | Init +11 | Perc +21

Sarkast continues the conversation, despite the combat. Running past Ayesha, ducking under the demon's weapon, and moving around it, he says, "As she says, we can't be certain where it is. Also, I am loathe to leave a door unchecked behind us, for fear we might leave ..."

As he gets into place, he jabs his spear at the demon's exposed backside, punctuating his final comment. "... something unfriendly that could attack us from behind."

Activate daredevil boots for +5 Acrobatics, then move action to get into flanking, taking the -5 penalty for moving full speed. Attack from flanking.

Acrobatics vs CMD: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

.

The poor schir demon is flat-footed, so no AoO's needed.

Sarkast neatly slips in behind the demon and stabs out, but a spinning glaive deflects his attack.

Dejik and Jinxx are up!


Male Kellid Rogue (Unch) 11 / Urban Bloodrager 1 / Trickster 5| AC 29(32 w/Cmb Exp) T 18 F 22 | HP 122/122 | F +7 R +14 W +5 | Init +11 | Perc +21

Ah, is that something Sarkast would have been able to know in-character? If so, that saves a use of his magic shoes... ;-)


.

Yeah, your shoes can save the charge.

Irabeth and Jinxx both charge in at the demon. Irabeth calls out to her goddess as she lunges in, and the demon's head comes off with a single sweep of her newly-reclaimed sword. Jinxx paws at its corpse for a moment.

End of Combat

Irabeth looks around miserably, not bothering to give the corpse a second glance.

"The shrine, the temple, even the library. They do nothing but destroy."

She looks over at a shelf with a few books intact, sighing.

Female Magus 12 | AC 26 T 16 F 21| HP 102| F +9 R +9 W +8 | Init +11 | Perc +18

Ayesha searched the demon for useful items, then turned to the others. "Does anyone know how big the remnant of the wardstone is? Or what it looks like?"

To Irabeth, she replied, "In my time in Qadira, I learned to read from the histories in Khamil's house. There were many on demon wars, as the sand there seems to vomit up the beasts much like the Worldwound does here. The books spoke of this form of warfare, where the demons would destroy, violate, or despoil everything they came across. Not because they took particular pleasure from it, which they apparently do, but because it destroyed the hearts of the defenders. Don't let this defilement destroy your heart, Irabeth. Let it ignite the fires of righteous wrath instead!"

The voice of the sword in her mind spoke to her of the scrying basin, and she stood suddenly. "The scrying basin! Come on!"

Ayesha ran back to the room with the zombies, passing Nilus by as she ran past. Once there, she heedlessly used her arm to scrape the entrails and offal clear of the scrying basin. She pulled out her waterskin and used it to wash the bloody remains clear of the basin. "Another waterskin, quickly!" she barked, scrubbing the blood from the relic. Not even at the befouled shrine did she feel this strong of a desire to scrub away the impurities.

Yes, we need to destroy the wardstone, but I suspect as soon as we touch it, all the remaining demons in this place will descend on us. I'd much rather take a minute to deal with them one at a time rather than get flanked by a demonic horde.

Dejik considers the last room. But I suppose there can't be that big a horde in there, not worth worrying about. Let's go upstairs and--

Dejik stops and stares at Ayesha. Ayesha, are you possessed? What are you doing?

Our allies are distracting the horde at this very moment! At great cost to themselves no doubt. The sooner we destroy the Wardstone, the sooner our purpose here is complete and we can join the Crusaders at the Defender's Heart to retake this city! Nilus heads up the stairs Radiance at the ready.

"Nilus, it does no one any good if we get ourselves killed because we exposed our flank. Yes, we should be quick, but we should be thorough as well. Please don't rush off ..."

As Ayesha rushes to the basin, Sarkast joins Dejik. "What is it, Ayesha? Is there something about this particular basin?"


.

Ayesha pours out the entrails, scrubs the basin a bit, and pours some water within. Suddenly, the water within the basin begins to glow and those present see a vision within.

A woman, who appears to bear the rudimentary features of a half-elf has been twisted and warped to be some bizarre blend of demon, human, and insectoid. Her foot is twisted and her arm is deformed, and like that of an insect. She bears a wicked-looking scythe.

The room she stands in looks like a trophy hall. A low stone pedestal sits on the floor in the middle of the chamber under a domed ceiling. Atop the pedestal is an iron, barbed cage-and within the cage sits a chunk of softly glowing white stone.

The field of vision suddenly pulls out of the room to show a wide hall which stretches thirty feet before ending in a door. Within the hall is an enormous, fearsome minotaur with blood-red fur and yellow eyes. It lies in wait, watching the stairs.

The field changes again as it swoops down the stairs to show Nilus charging up to face the minotaur, and settle in on the group spying the basin.

Irabeth looks up, shouting out a warning to Nilus as he reaches the top of the stairs.

"Nilus, no! Get up there now! EVERYONE!"

Nilus hears the warning as he nears the top of the stairs.

The group has seen a vision that shows the upstairs of the area and the minotaur lying in wait. Everyone can take an action before any kind of combat starts.

"Dejik, if you know any blessings, we would be grateful."

Sarkast pulls out a potion and drinks it, then prepares both of his weapons.
