A haunting howl and slithery chanting voices can now be heard down the hallways as a very low rumble of deep voices pierced by a womans scream.


M Human (Greek) Paladin of Athena 5 7/ Knight of Athens 4 6

"WE MOVE. NOW!"

Astinos' voice takes on a tone designed to carry over the din of a battlefieldas he breaks into a trot that begins to build into a run.


"June?,..." Kemnebi says softly as he looks down the hall, wide eyed at the echoing sound of the woman's scream. He shakes his head when Astinos yells, frowning, and leaps forward with the rest of the group,...

Nebibit picks up the pace in order to keep up with the rest of the group.


Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD

will send it out soon; just putting some finishing touches of info on the player map; maybe one of you can link it so those who dont have access/personel email or whatever, will be able to see it too as well as any lurkers who read along.


Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD

the party travels down the hallway; the dead walking without sound; eerie it is.

Llvenoc

Spoiler:

with your superior vision; you can see a group of abberation snakemen at the corner of the hall right where it turns; you havent an idea how many; but they are obviously guards, but dont seem to good at it; they are big and there are enough to fill the hallway; roll for more info

Kosan

Spoiler:

This area of the dungeon has stone construction very different than the other parts; the crypts were 10,000 years old; the recent earth tunnels; a few weeks old; this stonework is ancient; the stone imported from somewhere you are not familiar with; you estimate the age of this dungeon to be Pre Dwarf, perhaps even Pre Elf and perhaps older; roll for more info.

Those with +10 arcane or +10 knowledge other planes.

Spoiler:

roll for more info about inherent magic in this area

Knowlege planes

Spoiler:

This is from an elemental plane, best guess Earth or Fire.

Knowlege Arcana (Nebebit fails to gain any further insight)

Spoiler:

This material would seem to dampen air or cold effects and additionally makes travel or displacement effect more difficult and is resistant to illusions. True seeing might be a bad idea to your sanity.

Those with items or senses that detect evil:

Spoiler:

This area is evil; strongly so; so paladin need not have to look and concentrate; though such concentrate or a spell might give more information


Male Drow 5th lvl Fighter/2 Order of the Bow (Crossbow) Initiate

In hindsight I am really glad I have been eating those cloves of garlic.

"So you all ready to cover me?"


M Human (Greek) Paladin of Athena 5 7/ Knight of Athens 4 6

Detect Evil

Astinos tilts his head slightly, studying his surrounding.


BTW, My home Inet is going stoopid. Keeps losing service. Supposed to have a tech out monday to fix it. So If I disappear for a bit, it's not personal! ;P

Kemnebi peers intently around him as the group travels. He idly rubs a fingertip against a wall and sniffs at it distastefully.

'Fox, I suspect that this environment is going to hamper fire spells, and probably enhance cold-based ones. It's also going to hinder displacement and illusions. I'm loathe to try transport spells unless desperate. And I'm fairly certain that True Seeing would be hazardous to our sanity!'


"Are you sure? It seems to me that air effects and cold effects would be hampered here..."

I think we interpret the spoiler differently, sir. Maybe your connection flipped some bits on you... ;-)

I roll 15 on 1d20. In case it matters I have a Dungeoneering plus of 11. Shades offer +4 to search and enhanced vision. and Search +9 Adj. If any of this helps me decipher the age.

Val did the maps go Out. Sorry I have been busy with work and School.


Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD

yes they did; sent to your Steve and Jennifer account.; Anyone not get the maps; will certainly make things easier to explain if and when you guys get in that room; just imagine it like a flowerpot in shape complete with a hole at the bottom.

AS for your roll; this stuff is totally ancient; like before calendars were invented and peeps kept track of time; maybe before peeps; so any guess is as good as any other; older than the Collossus; probably not as old, but nearly, as old as a story Kosan told you about the Table of the Gods down in the Southern Continent, where the various dieties met while creating the world to work out how everything was going to fit together. Something this ancient might be why the current dieties dont have much influence here or able to see this place.

School? do tell.

I am waiting for the leaders to decide on when to plunge in. I finger the fireball candy in my pocket and think today might be the day when I finally use it.


Valegrim:
I'm assuming the temporary benefits that Fox gained from Jewel's potion and such have all expired with the night's rest, correct? She never used any of them, but I thought they were limited to a matter of hours.


Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD

Yes, potion in general are short lasting; though they vary by power the creator and purpose. I dont remember any you took offhand; will you remind me please?

The scene is a follows; long hallway going to a bend; Llvenoc has spotted and reported several Abominations; ie Large sized manlike snakemen at the bend.

what does the party do?


Male Mountain Dwarf Fighter 8th Level (Dwarf Variant)

After remaining quite for many moments studying the area, terrain, architecture, stone work, and remembering ancient stories I was told as a beardless dwarf by the elder priests of Dumathion and by my brother, Kojan, of lost and hidden places throughout the realms. I Stammer in the Mind Link louder then I intended: By DUMATHIONS SECRETS AND MORADINS SACRED HAMMER, IT DOES EXIST
(going lower in volume to a normal tone as if he was deciphering a riddle) That explains so much, All the Gods helping from a distance, yet none giving direct aid.
The one place that this vile deed could have been done while all including the very gods themselves shake in fear and anger unable to empower a worm within this vile ancient area to do their bidding.
The reason for the differing pantheons converging into a common folly of a plan to send a group of inept, under powered, diametrically opposed pairing of misfits to save the realm.
Not even the most vile evil in the darkest reaches of hell would have thought to make a concentrated effort to stop us, we were thought by them all to fail miserably.
Yet here we are below the crypts of the Gods champions from many pantheons that are over 10,000 years old if a day.
Then into the fire of this ancient arena, with stones from I know not where they were cut from or their composition.
This place is older than the first mighty Dwarf or pointy eared elf. Nay even before the Colossus of legend. This be the Table of the gods as told by me brothers tale.
The very place where the first gods of all aspects, races, and desires sat to decide what was good, bad, elf, dwarf and even what was evil. This is why the Deities all look on only if they can even see within this area at all.
None have power here this is the place where they were given their powers, dreams, and desires as prime beings.


Male Mountain Dwarf Fighter 8th Level (Dwarf Variant)

In the mind Link: We will get no aid from the Gods here. Fight for you life and soul for if you fall here I know not if your god can retrieve it. Fox the mages are yours do your best. Wreak Havoc, keep daemons and devils at bay and cause a lot of casualties. Astinios, Caerwyn, and anyone else who wants to fight GET LLEVONIC TO THE GODDESS. He alone can free her. AAHZ Stay by Me side I will protect you till I fall. I need you by me side to do , what ever you can But stay close I intend for you to live. Do you wish a hammer instead of those knives if so You may have one of mine.

Lord Pharaoh this be the Table of the gods we stand in The place at the beginning of time where the gods decided it all.
No gods hand will help us here. You have been given the greatest honor to fight for your gods with out their interference. If we succeed you will all sit at your gods table as heroes without peer.
I need the pointy eared one (pointing to Llevonic) to get to the middle of the arena where the Goddess is being held.
I need fighters clearing a way, engaging, and moving on till our goal is reached. Utilize the the lava for ending battles quickly if needed. Have your priests and (Looking at the mad mage) you magi to cause havoc to aid us in getting to the Goddess. Please have them follow the instruction of Fox (pointing to fox) so that we can concert all our efforts.

Out Loud to everyone: We are out numbered, out powered, there is not a hope of living through this, those that still breath anyway, and the fate of this realm lies in our hands. If we fail the realm dies, If we succeed we have accomplished the impossible, no bards will sing our tales but our gods will smile upon is and make us welcome at their table. DUMATHION I thank you for giving me the chance to die in battle making a difference.

Out loud: WE Move

I loosen my armor, twist the compartment on my Hammer/Axes shaft and take the potion Jewell gave me (growth) and down it.


M Human (Greek) Paladin of Athena 5 7/ Knight of Athens 4 6

Astinos reaches into his belt pouch drawing a vial of amber liquid, which he quickly downs, his skin taking on a cast like polished wood. He sets spear and shield preparing for the charge that is only seconds away.

Potion of Barkskin, AC now up to 31


Female Drow arcane/divine/mentalist

"nay, Dwarf, I say thee nay; Three have power here; the Primes who spawned all; My Great God of the Dark is all and everywhere and holds sway here as does Light and the Grey Shadow of in between; their child who is the progenitor of all Gods. <keep in mind this is blasphemy to just about everyone> Though we are so far below them as insignificant; Mighty Balfic has taught us to channel their power, in in only insignificant maginitude; it be far greater than our enemies expect. Sadly, we have not the two emissaries with us any longer. But know you this, I know magic and I know ritual. They cannot stop the cant or the binding upon the goddess fails and she will break free; so, most in the chamber are fuel for the ritual or its guidance; it is doubtful very many have the capacity to act and only several handfuls of guards. It is only after we free her that the backlash of their ritual will be unleashed and then those whom survive will be able to seek the deaths of those of us who survive. Taking this Icon of this Diety into this space; that I cannot account for; but I believe his power will be unleashed against the evil there in for he acts through his faithful and those of his faith come with us. I wouldnt count on other diefic magic working but true arcane magic should as it is older than creation and spawned from a Primal Source that prevades all dimensions."

"I say go forth and Unleash the Dogs of War! Dear Llvenoc; I am with you to the End of Things. Together we shall teach these snakes why the world fear the power of the DROW!"

"Well, casters, most of my magic targets individuals. We need to coordinate to get the best coverage. Have you many spells that target several?"


Sorry too, Been busy with work. I have rehearsals and shows all this week. I might be scarce.

Init:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Kemnebi, distracted and flipping through his book, almost doesn't hear Fox. He finally replies, [i]'I'm afraid most of mine are individual targets too. I have a wand ofr Color Spray, but that won't help much here I'm afraid. I do have one or two tricks though. Including a powerful rainbow that will blast anything in it's path." Line spell


Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD

ok; is there a plan? how is the party going to approach or initiate combat with the abominations; any orders or whatnot to your allied npcs?

Llevonics the key. Follow him and ensure he has a chance to unlock the chains.


Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD

Ok; post actions; before init 12

Top of Round 1.


Opening Night tonight (The Mikado) and run through the weekend. If I'm silent that's why. :)


Break a leg! I'm silent because I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything that's going on and I have precious little time to do so. Sorry.


Male Drow 5th lvl Fighter/2 Order of the Bow (Crossbow) Initiate

"Guess I'll start this dance."

Looking at our undead allies.

"I will pull the snakemen guards back to here. Hopefully we can eliminate them with minimal use of force, and save the majority of our strength for the fight ahead."

I move to within 30ft, and fire twice, then start backing away from the enemy as they close toward the party.

Attack Rolls d20=17+13+1(point blank shot)+1 (hand crossbow focus)=32, d20=15+8+1(point blank shot)+1 (handcrossbow focus)=25; Damage d4=2+5 (if flat footed)+1 (point blank shot) +5(ranged precision)=13, d4=3+5 (if flat footed)+1 (point blank shot) +7 (ranged precision)=16

Good Luck Rag!


How many of the undead did we end up with after the surprise closing of the gate? Magus Kalan, the High Priest, and...?


Male Efreeti, advanced manthing 45HD

16 total; 8 bearers 6 guards; and the priest and magus

Aazh throws a dagger which sticks into an abomination

Mentally to Llvenoc
Jewel "sprint back; jump when I say jump; try your best to clear 30ft"

verbally to the party; "I will lay down a spell to cause the pursuiers to slip and fall"

The Jewel holds forth a scroll with two spells; and begins reading the enchanted paper outloud.

any other pre init 12 actions?


Male Mountain Dwarf Fighter 8th Level (Dwarf Variant)

Init 23 I go back out of the spell range. Hammer/Axe and shield at the ready incase one of them slides my way.
