Echoes of Things that Once Were

Sensing something wrong in the ether, Farmer casts sanctuary, warding himself from attack.

From the walls by the group, three creatures - broken, ripped apart but possibly once humanoid - wretches of a foregone age slip out from the rock to lash out at the second rank - Aka, Pasara and Maffei. Although the shadowy outsider just manages to dodge the touch, both Aka and Pasara feels the chilly touch. Aka takes 2 points of Wisdom damage and Pasara takes 3 points of Wisdom damage.

"Sunlight at Dawn" Akatsuki mutters under her breath, her eyes narrow and a silvery aura springs to life, glistening around her, "Begone, foul creature, it is past time you saw yourself to Pharasma's Boneyard." Aka's first arrow tears into the creature that attacked Maffei, but the second breaks against the stone wall.

Willem drops his pack, scurries back, and blasts the monsters that attacked Aka and Pasara. The one damaged by Aka's arrow takes a swing at Willem but just barely misses. The ratkin's pellets tear through the other two incorporeal creatures.

Echoes of Thing that Once Were - Round 1

Farmer adopts a familiar cadence. Well protected by the aura of non-violence emanating from him like alcohol waves.

The babbling creature closest to Farmer seems to be fascinating by Farmer's cadence, so much so that its attack against Pasara instead attacks the wall. The same can not be said for the ones that attack Aka and Maffei - the mental discophany of their touch visibly drains both. Aka takes 4 wisdom damage, Maffei takes 4 wisdom damage and 1 wisdom drain.

Aka launches two more arrows, the second arrow hits dead center, the creatures essence reacting with the flaming energy explodes in an incandescent burst of spiritual energy. Aka's eyes swivel to the next. Maffei looks relieved that the one hounding her as been destroyed.

Pasara winces at the chilling touch of the foul creatures, but pulls herself together enough to respond. She splays out the fingers of her right hand, and with a word sends a fan of flames at the nearest things. (Pasara Concentration Check to Avoid AoO DC 17: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17)

Fenyx attacks the closest target, his first arrow breaking against the wall, but the second tearing the ectoplasm of the creature's existence.

"Oooh. Don't they exshplode pretty?" Aka says happily, almost clapping her hands, if it wasn't for the fact she's carrying a bow she might have succeeded. Luckily she does not stab herself with the arrow. The silver glow seems to have faded away to nothingness, but her bow is still burning bright. It momentarily distracts her. She puts her fingers through the flames, wiggling them back and forth until she spots another of the undead through the wreath of fire.

Ygrec the Earth Elemental flows out of the walls. "באַפאַלן יענע קריפּי זאכן." Farmer says, pointing to the Allips.

Echoes of Things that Once Were - Round 2

Ygrec the Earth Elemental flows out of the walls. "באַפאַלן יענע קריפּי זאכן." Farmer says, pointing to the Allips. The elemental flows to the point between the two allips, one fist slamming into the one damaged by Pasara, Willem, and Fenyx, but the vile creature clings to its unlife.

Terran:
"Attack those creepy things."

Farmer then shifts to a different cadence. More of a vodka to the prior bourbon.[spoiler=Farmer]*nice* roll for embrace destiny :)

Desperate to spread their madness as much as possible before being permanently banished to the darkness of destruction. One sticks a claw through Willem's armor and the other takes another swipe at Pasara - this one successful. Willem takes 1 point of wisdom damage and Pasara takes 4 points of wisdom damage.

Two more arrows from Aka, both tearing through the undead... but it stubbornly refuses to be banished from this world.

Willem fires, more pellets, sulfur and fire ripping at the existence of the ghosts. One of the allips is destroyed, but the other remains - only wisps of its former self but still in existence.

Fenyx fires at the final undead, his arrow finishing the job, banishing it into another form of existence.

Aka has taken 6 points of wisdom damage and has a -3 penalty to all wisdom-based rolls and checks. Willem has taken 1 point of wisdom damage, but has no penalties to checks. Pasara has taken 7 points of wisdom damage and has a -3 penalty to all wisdom-based rolls and checks. Maffei has taken 4 points of wisdom damage and 1 point of wisdom drain and has a -2 penalty to all wisdom-based rolls and checks.

Once it is clear that all of the undead are gone, Maffei looks around. Her voice quiet, smokey, and dry, [smaller]"Well, that was incredibly unpleasant."

"Ow. My head."


Male Ratfolk Gulch Gunner 6

"I feel slightly more foolish than normal," Willem grumbles.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Once the group has a chance to recover from the allips as best they can, they move on - cautiously and senses alert for more ancient and current dangers.

The next door reveals a narrow stairway down.

A) Perception DC 20:
And your ears pick up no sounds of movement or talking from the room below.

After that is a burnt out husk of a door, the room beyond another dormitory - this one scorched and burned. And based on the smell currently used as a bedroom and living quarters for a number of grioth.

Fountain Courtyard

The next door - now heading back up too where you came, is a courtyard surrounding a dry fountain. A statue of a woman wrapped in a flowing robe stands in the center of the fountain, her arms extended as though reaching up to touch the sky.

B) K:history/religion DC 18:
The woman depicted in the statue is Saint Kyerixus, the founder of the order that built the monastery.
C) Perception DC 20:
Right near her feet there seems to be a crack in the stone, tiny letters etched almost invisibly into the stone - 'For those who study sometimes need solace.'
C and choosing to investigate:
Applying pressure to the crack causes a small hidden niche in the leg to be revealed - an old cracked vellum page.

Detect magic and a half-way decent spellcraft will reveal it to be a page of spell knowledge bearing the spell lesser restoration.

After the garden, the next room has a door that opens easily as if it has been used a great deal in the previous months...

Assembly Hall

Eight pillars painted with faded quotations and prayers from Irori’s teachings support the ceiling of this large chamber. A statue of a man with a long braid stands to the south. On the northern side of the room another staircase spirals to the floor above.

D) Perception DC 20:
From near the base of the stairs, you can hear something heavy pacing on the floor above.
E) Perception DC 20:
There is a bone scroll tube carelessly tucked behind the statues legs - inside a scroll of marionette possession.


Male Ratfolk Gulch Gunner 6

Fountain Courtyard
Willem pokes around the statue by the fountain. His powder-stained claws quickly find a catch, and releasing it, a small compartment. He removes a vellum page and squints at it. "The more magically inclined might be able to make heads or tails of this," he says, handing it to Pasara.

Assembly Hall
Willem reaches behind one of the statue's legs to find a bone scroll case. He hands this over to one of the spellcasters as well. At the base of the stairs, he pauses, his saucer-like ears twitching. "Something heavy above us. Pacing. Approach with caution, and ready yourselves for blood."


Pasara/Fenyx:
The magic item from the fountain courtyard is a page of spell knowledge containing lesser restoration.

The scroll from the assembly hall is marionette possession.

Farmer points in the vague direction the group is traveling, and says to Ygrec, "ביטע פאָרשן און לאָזן מיר וויסן אויב עס זענען קיין וואַמבאַץ כיידינג ין די שטיין אין אַז ריכטונג."

Terran:
Please investigate and let me know if there are any creatures hiding within the rock in that direction.

He shrugs and turns to the group. "Can't hurt, right?"

After a bit of time Ygrec returns. The elemental points vaguely west. "עס זענען עטלעכע נאַריש ראַקס אַז וועג אַז קוקן ווי מען אָבער טאָן ניט וויסן ווי צו רעדן ."

Terran:
"There are some stupid rocks that way that look like people but don't know how to talk."

Then he points slightly north, "א מענטש גייט אין אַ גאָרטן מיט אַ רויט היטל . ער ווייסט די געהעריק שפּראַכן . און איז גוט מיט כאַגז ."

Terran:
"A man walks in a garden with a red hat. He knows the proper languages. And is good with hugs."

Then he waits, stone patient if Farmer needs anything else from him before he returns to the crushing embrace of the plane of earth.

Farmer nods to the elemental. "דאנק איר, יגרעק. איך זאל רופן איר ווידער שפּעטער הייַנט. געבן ובונטו אַ אַרומנעמען פון מיר."

Terran:
"Thank you, Ygrec. I might call you again later today. Give Ubuntu a hug from me."

"I asked Ygrec if there were creatures hiding within the rock in the direction we're going."

Farmer points vaguely west. "Stupid rocks that look like people but can't talk."

And then North. "A man walking in a garden with a red hat. I assume that's Azmur, but it might not be."

Before the group heads upstairs, someone remembers those doors right across the hallway - checking them they find a...

Courtyard

The vegetation in this quiet, open-air courtyard has been lovingly tended. Small purple berries grow on the nine plants in the middle of the area. A small brass bowl sits near one of the bushes, a few bright berries within it.

A) Detect Magic:
The tweleve berries in the bowl have been transmuted by a goodberries spell.

and..

Hall of Serenity

Narrow pillars painted blue and gold support the ceiling in this shrine. At its west end is a large statue in a mother-of-pearl-lined niche. The figure sits in the lotus position, hands clasped and eyes closed in prayer.

Aka:
From the moment you step into the room a sense of peace and order seeps into you, your breathing is easier and world seems a better place.

Which gives two paths up - one in the allip room which was quiet above and the other in the Assembly Room, which has a pacer above - and one path down. The spiral staircase only allows single file movement, so if you guys are planning to head up that way a general order would be appreciated.

"Goldaryth guard the books. Goldaryth kill the intruders. Goldaryth obey me because I dragged you here. I swear I look forward to pulling the still beating heart out of that damn lizard's chest."

When the group finishes ascending, Willem in the lead, they find a twenty-foot-high ceiling painted with scenes of scholars at study. A polished wooden statue of a woman sitting in the lotus position, eyes closed in meditation, hangs from the center of the ceiling on several lengths of twine in order to give the impression of levitation.

And pacing back and forth amid the ruins of many tattered and destroyed books is a grioth. A grioth that would tower over any of the creatures you have seen thus far - his frame thick with muscle where the others were wiry - a falchion of voidglass held in one six-fingered hand.

As he spots Willem's whiskered nose, his wings beat the air, raising the creature to the ceiling, still grousing. "అని ఒక మంచి రక్తపుటేరుల్ని కోసం తగినంత పెద్ద కాదు."

Aklo:
"That one isn't even large enough for a decent bloodbath."

Even someone with a negative sense motive would sense the creature's hostile intent.

Auran:
"What? I can't understand you."


Female Human Paladin 6

"Are you sure you don't want to just run back home? I mean, it would be a whole lot less painful." Aka is hesitant to fire the first shot despite the creature's obvious hostile intent, but...

Farmer holds back on the spiral stair until everyone who wants to pass him has done so. Then he starts casting. The summoning cadence.

"ఇది గోడలు పేయింట్ మీ రక్తం ఉంది," scoffs the creatures, leering at Willem. "మరియు మీ మనస్సు యొక్క అరుపులను నా నరములు ఉధృతిని ఉంటుంది ."

Aklo:
"It is your blood that will paint the walls."

"And your mind's screams will calm my nerves."


Round 1:

Fenyx will cast Mage Armor on himself.
AC = 19 after cast.
Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Fenyx will move one five foot step up the stairway if possible.


Female Human Sorcerer/6

Round 01:

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Hearing the grioth's hostile words, decides to start with a more powerful spell than she normally would use. She extends her hand towards the enemy and with a mystic phrase directs a beam of fire at it.

Scorching Ray Damage: 5d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 3, 4) + 5 = 22
Saving Throw: None (This is a ranged touch attack)


Hulking Bat in the Library - Round 1

Willem airwalks to the monster and gives him a face full of lead. The pellets shred through the grioth rending flesh and causing the bat-creature to bleed until the bits of mangy fur beneath the armor catches fire. (1d6 ⇒ 4)

Hearing the grioth's hostile words, decides to start with a more powerful spell than she normally would use. Once she moves up to the top of the stairs, she extends her hand towards the enemy and with a mystic phrase directs a beam of fire at it. The magical fire just barely manages to tag the large monster, the burn added to Willem's more mundane fire.

Farmer holds back on the spiral stair until everyone who wants to pass him has done so. Then he starts casting. The summoning cadence.

Willem:
1d6 ⇒ 1Reflex DC 15 for no more fire next round: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
The large grioth, who had been looking at Willem as if the small ratfolk were a food morsel, but between the bite of metal and the burn of fire, the creature does not quite seem to be able to focus. Instead the creature flies (1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17) forward just a tad, his crystalline falchion rising and (1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 181d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25) falling, missing the nimble and well-armored rat.

Aka moves up the stair, moving to get a clear shot. "Sunlight at Dawn," she intones, and fires and arrow that bursts into flame. Her arrow is stopped by the grioths heavy armor.

Fenyx moves slightly up the stair, just past Farmer, and casts Mage Armor on himself.

Maffei moves up the stairs, intones a few words in a whispering tongue - then swears in her more natural tongue as nothing happens.

The grioth spits a bit of blood, the red flecked mucus splating against the wooden statue. "మీ అదృష్ట ఎలుక పరిగణించండి . తదుపరి దెబ్బ మీ ఆత్మ మచ్చ మరియు ముదురు యొక్క haunter తీపి రక్త పాడే కనిపిస్తుంది."

Aklo:
"Consider yourself lucky rat. The next blow will scar your soul and sing sweet blood to the haunter of the dark."

Heal DC 10 (no take-10):
Although the grioth is greatly injured by Willem and Pasara, he seems to take joy in the pain. Grimly fighting on, nihilistic.

GM:
grioth -48,-70,-71,-86

"ఒక తిరుగుబోతు మాట్లాడుతూ, మీరు అగ్లీ కుమారుడు ఉంచండి. ఇది మీరు పోరాట కంటే ఆ వద్ద మెరుగైన ఉన్నాము స్పష్టమవుతుంది," Willem sneers at the monster.

Aklo:
Keep talking, you ugly son of a b+@+~. It's clear you're better at that than fighting.

Round 2:
Willem reloads and gives the monster some more lead.
