I wouldn't waste the quill on it. But how has no one found this place? It's huge.. Boom says as he checks his magazine is loaded with shot


It's at the near top of one of the highest mountains in a remote region, and is hidden by a dimensional rift.

I find these things are better if you don't think about them. For example, what happened to Aroden? Why does the Maelstrom exist? Why do the Gebbites uniformly depict Rovagug with a blue clown nose? These are questions whose answers help no one. Well, maybe the cause of the Maelstrom in case another one opens up around Absalom but that's a problem for Absalomians isn't it?

Well didn't those...whatever...back at the dungeon think it was pre-Earthfall? I don't see why these folks wouldn't be similarly mistaken.

I dunno I just figured common wasn't their first language


If you're done with witty banter, you ought to pick a new destination. The road is rather uninteresting since I'm skipping random encounters.

Onwards to G then?


This section of the ruined city has been cleared of rubble, leaving a roughly circular courtyard about a quarter-mile in diameter. Many oversized tents and crude shelters have been erected in the clearing, turning it into what looks like a giant-sized refugee camp. The place is full of giants of various races (hundreds).

"We might not wanna go this way.."

Maybe try and make our way around to the right and up towards H?

H is fine though

Actually the 26 is enough to identify types. You see stone, cloud, and frost giants. You know frost giants to generally be of an evil disposition. Stones are usually neutral, and cloud can be good or evil.

Anybody bring a great big cannon that I somehow missed?


Moving on towards H.

An immense dome of stone rises at the end of an elevated road here. The structure towers five hundred feet in height and is capped by a smaller dome that brings its total height to nearly seven hundred feet in all. Numerous arches and openings decorate the building’s sides, all allowing access to its cavernous interior.

"Guess we should probably check it out.."

There's an entrance at the bottom?


Male Keleshite Fighter (Trench Fighter) | Level 17 | HP 170/208, AC 34, T 21, FF 26 | F 20 R 19 W 16 | CMB 18 CMD 40 | Init + 11 | Perc +22 | SQ: Clustered Shots

There is a ground level entrance (a few in fact).

"I say we scout out that closest ground level entrance."


Scout? You mean try to be sneaky in all your armor? Give me stealth rolls.

Even if me, Boom, and Yap can stealth in there's no way Obi and Jan can so might as well just move in together. I suppose I could burn invisibility on everyone, but won't last long..

"Perhaps not every being here is evil. Let's just move in and see what's up.."

"Wheee! I'm flying."


You waft your way into the massive building. It's rather odder on the inside than the out. Inside the huge dome is an immense open area with a pile of rubble mounded up in the middle. This is the size of a hill.

Moving around inside are a number of furry humanoids.

1d20 ⇒ 7 they are not paying much attention at the moment though and don't notice you.

They are Yetis. You get 2 questions.

It should always be understood that knowledge checks only tell you about a standard member of a race. It will not reveal templates or class levels (unless there is something really obvious like wings added).

Bo whispers..

"Yeti's, probably not to much trouble but we should avoid combat for as long as we can.. Let's fly up and check out some of the higher entrances.."

He moves to do so..

"I think we should stay low in order to avoid attracting attention."


The lack of random encounters is making you miss something. If you get into a fight here, you can trigger a helpful encounter, so go ahead and murder hobo.

On of the Yetis hears you, yells "Bree Yark!" and charges. The rest hear him and join in (in waves most likely).
