Those looking through the scrying pool can hear what's going on.

As the wall of stone goes up, you hear a muffled, "ALARM! ALARM! INTRUDERS HAVE THE PRISONER!"

At your words to Gelik, he pauses for a moment to take in what could be going on, and gives a slight nod.

Are you going to do anything else here, or should we roll initiative?

On Griffs next turn, or whatever
Gelik I'm invisible, and I'm going to cast Dimension Door to get us out of here, are you ready to go?
when Gelik gives the OK, Griff will pick up Gelik & D.Door the group away. Aiming 800' North, & 200' up. and head back to the camp.

Mik will cast Fly on Gelik, grabbing him in the process. Mik will then grab Griff.

Let's go. Mik calmly says.


Male Gnome Bard 16, Storyteller (aka DM)

This is what the Scrying Pool shows as well, as its still centered on Gelik, not the location.

Mik casts Fly on Gelik and Griff Dimension Door's them out of there, guiding Gelik to cover and unbinding him. Then Flying back to camp. Griff, Mik, and Gelik get back to camp about the time the scrying spell fades. Kieyanna tends to Gelik's wounds, and in a minute or so he's healed up.

While Gelik is being healed talking to the group.
Well "A" mission accomplished, now do we head straight back there to finish the job, or shall we wait a little bit so as to let their buffs run down? Now that we've freed Gelik I'm not sure if the red mantis will stay in that place. Gelik did you overhear anything?

Is Goro going to rejoin the campain or is he going to go off and do his own thing? Also not sure if you're ready but we could sure use those new toons.


Male Gnome Bard 16, Storyteller (aka DM)

Jyord starts to gather the components for reincarnation.

Gelik: "I haven't properly thanked you yet. Thank you. I'm not sure why they kept me alive for so long. As far as I can tell, they killed all the other prisoners when they moved me underground. Honestly, I haven't heard much of anything about the Red Mantis's plans, as I'm pretty sure I was in a separate room. The only questions they kept asking it's what you guys were up to," motioning toward the party, and, to be honest, I don't know what you are up to. Maybe it's better that way. The only thing I did hear was something about their bi-polar leader."

I'll give Rob the opportunity to post, and cast the spell. I'm pretty busy the first half of today. If Rob hasn't posted by later today, I'll post.

Turning to Griff, Mik says in Sylvan,

Sylvan:
Do we have to fly back or can you teleport us there? If we fly, I may not have enough spells if things go bad and we will have to walk through the front door, which I don't want to do.

Shape-shifter... it could be, Either way their a threat.

Sylvan:
I don't have another Teleport memorized, & walking in the front door might be the best way to stop any of them from escaping. The last time we got split up, and our fire power was reduced. If we go in, and focus fire on one target at a time we should do much better.

sylvan:
I haven't used any advanced spells yet. I've got up to 3 dimension doors available. Granted we'll have to start out much closer, but I can get us back out at least


Male Gnome Bard 16, Storyteller (aka DM)

I'm going to say that Griff, ZAO, Mik, Kieyanna, and Jyord are present for this.

Jyord goes into the tent where Goro's body lies and he starts the ritual. A cocoon forms. I'm not sure if this actually what happens, but I think this is what we said happened for Mik, so we're going with it. You can see the cocoon take form and see that there may be something forming inside. After 10 minutes, the cocoon hardens and dries, then cracks open.

Lying before you is a female with shimmering, pale-blue skin. She has long, straight black hair with a bit of curl at the end. At the base of her neck is a birthmark that looks somewhat like an angel with her wings spread, back lit by the sun. She sits up and looks at everyone in the room.

Knowledge Religion 12:
The birthmark looks remarkably similar to that of the symbol of Saranrae.

Na'la sits up and looks around. She feels as though she has just woken from a dream. She is only half aware of the people near her. Then as much to herself then anyone else she says "Well that was new..."

He says as an aside, I hope I never die. We always come back as a different race and gender. I know the gods will curse me to become a female 3/4 elf. Probably unattractive to boot, considering my transgressions.
To Na'la, Hell-ooh

After studying her surroundings for a few moments Na'la returns her gaze back around as she focuses on the smallest of the group. "And you are?"


Male Gnome Summoner-Spirit/Brood 8 Gunslinger-Mysterious Stranger 1 Rogue 1

Ah ha ha. Such a simple question it seems and yet... I am Zenkrikk Azler Oz, Prophet of Iydersial the Monkey God and Snake's Bane, a leader of Charau-Ka and trainer of their elite force the Sardaukar Charau-Ka, Master of Eido and Krom, purveyor of brothels and invention, myth-slinger, firearm phenomenon, and known by many names, but you may call me Zao. makes a small bow that seems larger because of his short stature.

@Mik; The way I understand how divine casters cast spells is that they close their eyes and hope really hard that something useful happens. You see from my understanding of that spell it shouldn't have worked, BUT Kieyanna's god said it would work, She didn't say that it would work the way we want it to. Remember when you came back, you thought you were someone else, I now believe that when the spell brings you back it also gives you brain damage... Notice the vacent look in the eyes, Goro doesn't know what is going on. Griff will gently place his hand on "new Goro's" sholder and speak in a gentle voice It's all right Goro we are your friends, and once you drink from the fountain you should be right as rain.

Griff:
She's a Samsaran.

Na'la gently twists the arm of Griff as she nimbly climbs/jumps out of the pod like object she was laying in. She lets go of the arm and steadies her legs, as if she hasn't ever used them. She says almost to herself "This is most unusual". She turns to the group and with a bit of confusion and sternness she asks Griff "Goro...Who is...What magic did you use to bring me here"

I...I... Griff's eyes wander up and down, then snap up to Na'la's eyes I did nothing Griff crosses his arms pointing fingers at Jyord, and Kieyanna. They are the ones who said that the spell would bring a dead friend back to life. with arms still crossed, Griff brings one finger up to stroke his chin with a look of contemplation on his face, and stares at the birthmark. What...hmmm... what did you say your name was?


Male Gnome Summoner-Spirit/Brood 8 Gunslinger-Mysterious Stranger 1 Rogue 1

... And Goro was a comrade who was killed by the Red Mantiss, but we thought he should come back.

Griff you shouldn't stare at birthmarks. It's rude. Even when it looks like Sarenrae

Kieyanna watches the interaction between the group. I never did fully understand this group. She reaches into her haversack and pulls out a shirt and a pair of pants and tosses them to Na'la. "Put these on." Then to the group, "I've got other places I need to be. Best of luck to you all." She then takes a drink from her flask, says a short prayer clutching her holy symbol, and vanishes.

Griff recognizes the spell as teleport.

You can't leave like that, come back here and explain what the "GODS" did! Griff looks more disturbed than normal
@Zao; Rude?... I was hoping to get Goro back not...Griff waves his hands open fingered at Na'la, then stops and looks up If she is here to help us you could put a more comprehensive sigh on her than a birthmark of Sarenrea. Griff starts to walk out of the tentI have red mantis to kill, and can deal with this mess later.


Male Gnome Bard 16, Storyteller (aka DM)

FYI: Goro's body is in the tent as it was part of the spell.

I would just like to mention that I "COOP" have no problems with anyone or anything. I'm not sure if I am conveying very well the fact that Griff is having a hard time with the loss of a comrade. so he is trying to do the only thing he can...


Female Samsaran Reincarnated Life Oracle 10 [HP:89/89] [AC:20 T:12 F:18] [Fort:+7 Ref:+6 Will:+11] [Per:+3] [Init:+2] [CMD:21]

Na'la looks at the clothes on the floor and nimbly puts them on, all while seeming to whisper to herself as she tries to figure it out. She looks over at Goro's body and closes her eyes in realization. "I'm afraid I'm not who you think I am." She walks over to Goro's body and lays a hand on him. "Your friend is dead. I passed him in the fields of the afterlife. He had a choice to make and he made it. His soul is at peace." She walks back to Griff and introduces herself " My name is Na'la. A little while ago I died too. In my realm when a Samsaren is killed we are reborn anew as children. The sacrafice of your friend must have opened a way for me to return to this world without having to start over again. Yes, I must have been granted a reprieve from the goddess Sarenrae. I have journeyed...so far" she looks away as if lost in a memory but her face comes alive with a sense of dread and urgency. " I must leave. If there's still a chance...yes there must be. I must leave...NOW!" Na'la rushes past Griff out into the open.

Mik will follow her at a distance, 30' unless visibility is less, knowing all too well the confusion that can follow. He will have his bow out but not in a threatening manner.

As Na'la steps out of the tent, into the morning light, she sees what looks like a small village bustling with people inside the ruined walls of an ancient fortress. There are tents scattered throughout the camp and a variety of people; from militia to bards to historians and explorers. Those who see her, stop and stare for a second before moving about their business. The most notable creature of all, is the giant 500 pound badger lying down right outside the tent about 5 feet away from her. The badger cocks his head a bit and looks at her quizzically as she burst out of the tent.


Male Gnome Summoner-Spirit/Brood 8 Gunslinger-Mysterious Stranger 1 Rogue 1

Seeing everyone has left, sniffs his armpit, shrugs. Hmm, well it wasn't me. Hey Griff, wait up. and exits.

Griff stops, and listens to Na'la. as she leaves Griff looks back at Goro's body and says with a heavy heart Rest Goro, and hunt well... Griff will then follow Na'la, ruffling Francises ears as he passes. lady could you please explain yourself? if you plan on going out there dressed like that you'll probably die again.

Na'la stops when she sees the Bustle of city life around her. The light shines brightly in her eyes as she attempts to block it with her hand. This isn't right she thinks. I was in a field before.. Turning she asks the group "Where are we?"

"It's not who I need to save but what." Na'la says with some force. Then more calmly she says "As a Samsaran, our memories and journeys are recorded in sacred scrolls and stored in a vault of remembrance for when we come of age. We aren't supposed to reincarnate with our memories so the scrolls stay in the vault, forever protected, so we may never forget the lessons we have learned. But for centuries each of my reincarnations have been haunted by the same dream. I need answers! I took my scrolls and sought to complete a journey I began more than a millennia ago. Without those scrolls my journey is lost and I will be doomed to the never-ending madness that are my dreams." Turning she walks a few feet trying to study her surroundings then stops and turns again facing the group. "None of this is familiar to me. The last thing I remember I was standing on a clearing overlooking the lost city of the seven spears. I had just passed a fork in the river when I heard a sound..." Na'la looks down and to the right as she remembers. Once more she looks around studying her surroundings. "That must be near here somewhere, if only I could get a look at a map". And these clothes simply will not do, I must find something else...

Griff will stand up grab his map from his pack, walks over to Na'la Here take a look at this. Griff will scratch his chin in thought, Na'la, were you traveling alone?... and what year was it when you died?

I'm not sure what year it is in the game but I'm just trying to determin if there is a difference in time.

Na'la takes the map and goes to a nearby empty table. While she walks she tells Griff "I passed your friends soul in the fields of Sarenrae. Not that much time could have passed..if I'm lucky." She sets the map on the table and unfolds it. Looking closely at it she smiles in a small almost smirk. "The goddess truly favors me today. We are not that far from where I was before." Na'la points to a spot on the map.

If you look at the map(?) this should be marked with an x I believe.

Straightening, Na'la tells the group "I can not ask any of you to come with me, you have clearly been through much already. I fear, however, that I will not make it far as I am now. The goddess has given me a second chance today, I truly doubt there will be a third. If you can find it in your hearts to loan me some provisions I swear on Sarenrae I will return the favor to you." Looking at Zao she adds "With interest of course."

To himself, Everyone always assumes I'm greedy. To Na'la, Were in he spends a minute to summon Eido (who he climbs aboard) and Krom (who climbs aboard him).

"You have my utmost compliments on your willingness to help others. If we survive this day, I will make sure your names are recorded with the memories of my people. We must hurry soon though. If anyone has a staff and some armor, that is all I require at the moment. I can defend myself from there."

Male Gnome Bard 16, Storyteller (aka DM)

While ZAO is summoning Eido and Krom, Mik and Na'la head over to the Pathfinder Society provisions tent. The provisions officer is a short, squat, happy-go-lucky human (you'd almost think him a tall dwarf if he kept his beard groomed), gladly loans Na'la a quarterstaff, dagger, and studded leather armor. "They're not very fancy, but they're all we got for now. With more and more folks showing up to help explore the city, pickins are a bit slim."

Anything anyone else wants to do before heading out? I'm assuming Griff, Mik, and ZAO are all going.

Mik will take point, moving with Stealth, 30' in advance of the group unless the terrain is too dense for us to see each other. Mik will do a 30' move with Stealth (Silent Hunter so no penalty, although I'm interested in how much you can move normally with Stealth at -5 as the rules say more than half but less than normal. Does that mean max is 25' for Mik? Some of the forums suggest the wording is poor and you can move 30' with the normal -5 penalty), and then Mik will take a Standard Action for Perception, looking for activity. Mik will take 10, if allowed, giving Stealth = 28 and Perception = 25, unless "It's a Trap" then 27.

ZAO:
Cerberus, doesn't see much else. He doesn't see the source, but as he hears others coming from a distance and detects chaos; Cerberus notices ZAO flying from where the sound is coming from, but also notices an aura much closer, but can't see the source. I'm going to post the scene to the rest before I go to work today so hang tight.


Male Gnome Bard 16, Storyteller (aka DM)

The trip to Na'la's body is uneventful. Mik scouts ahead, ZAO and Eido fly above keeping watch, and Griff walks with Na'la.

The location of the body is the blue X north of the lake on the Saventh-Yhi map.

As you approach your destination (Mik and ZAO see this first at about the same time), There is a humanoid figure crouching over what looks like a corpse with pale blue skin. The humanoid seems to be of above average build with broad shoulders slightly straining the simple robes he is wearing. His face is mostly hidden under the hooded cloak, his eyes fixed on the group heading his way.

Mik:
He eyes seem to be scanning in your direction, but you're not sure if he actually sees you or not.

ZAO:
I'll let you give the full description when he stands up.
