Mavaro moves forward and takes the disk.
As soon as Mavaro touches the disk he sees the shadowy form of a burly cyclops straining against a massive serpentine creature. The serpent strikes at the cyclops’s face, and the target is struck blind.
For one second but he can shrug the effect off. Using his ability he discerns that the disk emits darkness. Also this disk is warded against theft, so you can´t pick up two disks at once.
In addition to the darkness warding disc at the room’s west end, the shelves contain two onyx animal carvings and a mithral wand of bull’s strength with 16 charges remaining as you quickly find out. Areletta, who has been with you offers you now another disk, she was carrying. It emits light.
Only one room is still left.
You carefully enter it.
The walls of this large, vaulted room are carved with stylized astronomical symbols. The south wall contains a pair of
immense doors made of stone. Smaller doors on the east wall have been battered inward. The north wall contains four large
panels, each eight feet above the ground with a central gap about seven inches wide and an inch deep. Above the four
panels are blocky letters, and below them, mosaics featuring sway-backed cyclopes. The chamber’s floor displays a stylized
depiction of Golarion and its moon traveling around the sun.
As you look closer you can see something written on the wall.
There are four slots. What disk in which slot?
Mavaro you would say that it means the following.
"The MOON set within the VOID reflects the SUN but does not obscure the STARS."
The light in the sun does nothing. The dark in the moon does nothing.
You have maybe 6 more rounds till the construct breaks the door.
You manage to secure the darkness in the void slot and it glazes over.
3 more rounds to breach.
Mavaro prepares to put the disk into the moon as safeguard.
"If it doesn´t work, give it to me and I put it into the moon."
As you put the light disk in the moon slot, it glazes over. But at that moment the door breaks and somehow the golem is now beyond the door. And you share a room with a huge snake demon with three tails.
Beyond the golem, in the other room you can see two more disks.
The snake looks at you and hisses, but the golem manges to grapple her.
[ooc]To get to the two disks you have to cross the snakes place. And she seems intent on hurting you!"[/B]
Mavaro will expand one point of Focus for sudden speed to dash into the room and out grabbing the left disk.
Did Huny drink from the well?
Empowered by the insight of the well, Huni manages to escape the tails coil. But still Maravo and Huni manage to escape the beast.
The Snake demon is unable to stop you from bringing the two disks to the warding room and putting them in their slots.
Once you have put the four warding discs into their proper places, the panels fuse into a single piece that, like the walls of the warding room, cannot be broken short of millennia of work. At the same time, a wave of magical energy washes through Starwatcher Tor, automatically dispelling any ongoing spell effects created by the xacarba and pushing the xacarba back into her cell along with the Azlanti monolith. The doors her cell immediately repair themselves and reseal, allowing only a momentary glimpse of the Azlanti monolith raising its fists to fight the xacarba.
Also, the ivory sphere dims, as the xacarba’s prison is renewed.
After being freed from the xacarba’s charm, Juliet Dias thanks the heroes profusely for coming to her team’s rescue.
As you brought her the equipment that Happ gave you in the basecamp, she insists that you can keep it.
Additionally, she shares some of her Azlanti research notes with the heroes.
