"There is no way to know what might be waiting for us on the other side of this portal," the pixie says, coming to rest on the ground and glancing at the sleeping woman, "perhaps we should wait until we are at full strength before we rush on."


Perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17


"Not particularly," the pixie relies, hovering in front of Lureene, "but perhaps the magic is only strong enough to keep someone asleep."


"If the gem is radiating sleep magic, might it not be related somehow to our slumbering friend here?" Luff asks, fluttering around the chamber.


"This way looks promising," the pixie speaks softly, fluttering before the newly opened passageway, "at least the way seems more... reliable, than trying to navigate the bowels of whatever creature we currently occupy."


"Found something interesting?" the pixie asks, floating beside the lizardman's shoulder, paying more attention to the bones than the items adorning them.

After several long heartbeats staring at the remains of the lupine creature, he turns to face the still conscious member of the group rescued from the sacs. "How exactly did you find yourself being digested by this creature?" he asks the half-troll.


Fort save 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19 and SR16

Luff hovers in place and holds out his hands, sending out a pulsating flash of sickly green light towards the base of the intestines.

Eldritch blast 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24, 1d6 ⇒ 2


Seeing where Al points, the pixie darts to the centre of the room and hovers above the group. His dark eyes lock on the mass of fleshy tendrils and a similarly dark cloud forms around them.

Initiative 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Warlock's Curse (2 Tokens), trying to target the massed group of intestines as though they were a single creature. If it works, it needs to make a DC16 Will save or suffer a -2 luck penalty to its Ability Checks, AC, Attack Rolls, Damage Rolls, Caster Level Checks, Saving Throws, and Skill Checks for 2 rounds.


"Though, perhaps these are stomachs..." the pixie muses, "although I have no idea what might pass for food to this creature"

Floating over to one of the full sacks, he observes it passively while waiting for the others to ascend into the chamber.


Luff propels himself up through the opening, following the lizardman and looking around at their surroundings.

"What is this?" he asks, his voice coming from near Zissaren's shoulder, "a hatchery perhaps?"

Knowledge(nature) 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23


Reflex save 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15


Luff launches another blast at the creature, then darts aside as he wracks his mind for anything that might help identify the slimy assailant.

Eldritch Blast 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15, 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Knowledge(Nature) 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11


The pixie waves his arms up towards the slimy creature, unleashing a wave of stomach churning energies, relying on his invisibility to aid his attack. Flitting back down the tunnel to conceal his location, he looks back to gauge his options.

I'm assuming this is an ooze creature so I'm not including the bonuses for invisibility.
Eldritch Blast (ranged touch attack) 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14, 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 +living target must make a DC 18 Fortitude save or become sickened for 1 minute
Flies 20' back down the tunnel, stealthily 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22(of course, it won't work if the creature has blindsight).
EDIT: sorry, I've just noticed the attack bonus on my sheet is one to high, I've changed the post (and surprisingly, the dice roller kept the result- I'm impressed!).
Double Edit: never mind, I'm an idiot - I was missing the small size bonus!


Luff beats his wings vigorously to throw off the burning slime, then turns his attention to their attacker.

Initiative 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21


Luff quietly fades from view as he floats alongside the group.

Perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15 Only 13 if not sight/sound based (+ see invisibility)


Luff wrote:
"this one looks the most promising."

"After all, we have been following the smell of sugar this far," he finishes.


"Very well then, we shall follow the black veins." The pixie hovers for a moment looking at each of the four black veined tunnels, briefly suppressing his invisibility before moving towards tunnel number 1d4 ⇒ 4, "this one looks the most promising."

EDIT: Perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 Only 28 if not sight/sound based (+ See Invisibility)


"What do we do now?" Luffs disembodied voice asks.

Perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 (only 18 if the check isn't sight or sound based.)


"This doesn't look good," Luff speaks urgently as he flies swiftly onwards, "I guess it would be too much to hope for this to be another illusion."


"Well, Alderthane?" Luff asks, pronouncing each syllable of the name deliberately, eliciting a low growl from the old man, "have you found anything to explain your unease?"


"Interesting..." Luff whispers to himself, hovering before the sugary wall blocking their way back. He draws a finger along it slowly, then holds the sample beneath his nose for a moment.

"It would seem that the way on, at least, is clear." he states, whirling around to face the open corridor before them, "Shall we move on?"


Luff raises an eyebrow suspiciously, then smiles coldy, "oh, I see your game!" He calls out into the darkness.

The pixie raises his arms as he hovers backwards, then the water before the beast begins to bubble violently as a serpentine form of steam begins to form, wrapping itself around the strange creature. Its misty jaws lash out to bite at the flank of its watery victim.

moves back, then casts Permanent Image
Knowledge(Nature):1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Perception:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16 (only 14 if it is not sight/sound based)

mightflier,

do you have any suggestions, i dont think i will easily find a diety who has healing and trickery but if i have to i can always drop healing and go with a trickester diety
Rav

Maybe the elder spirits of our forest? They're pretty vague entities at the moment.


The invisible pixie flaps backwards instinctively. Drawing up the energies invested in him be Svetlana, he prepares to unleash a wave of sickening force against the strange creature should it attack one of his allies.

Nightflier:
action wise, back away 5', then ready an eldritch blast should the creature attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 touch attack, 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + (4) = 5 + sickness for 1 minute unless it succeeds against a DC18 Fort save.


Initiative:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15


The pixie flutters along invisibly behind the archon, his dark eyes peering intently out ahead of the group.

How high is the ceiling? is there room for Luff and Leaf to fly one above the other?


The pixie nods his agreement, fading smoothly out of sight as he heads down the tunnel, the faint beat of his wings the only thing confirming his presence.


Knowledge(Nature)1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 - Hah! Nevermind...

"There are forests even on the ethereal plane?" Luff asks the otherworldly elf, "I thought it was a place of dead things, not the vibrant life of a forest."


Raven34 wrote:

sounds good!

i will be a romantic rival
what do i know about your character?

GM
im now thinking of playing a neutral aligned character who potenially has evil tendencies

Beyond what is in the background on my character sheet, you would probably know that before leaving the forest, Luff was always very protective of his environment, but still eager to interact with any humanoids that might come along - usually by chatting with them about the outside world, but if they didn't prove friendly, by causing them no end of frustration.

You might also know about some of the various oaths he swore to the elder forest spirits, I've not really gone into much detail on them yet, but one of them involves

Raven34 and Nightflier:
not revealing personal information about another fey unless the information is directly requested three times.


Luff looks back to the new addition to the group with a suspicious glance, but seems to conclude that the others' trusting demeanor towards him must have some reason.

"We know very little of the missing infants," he replies to the question, "only that several have gone missing recently and there are indications they have been brought into the sewers."

The pixie seems somewhat hesitant to continue, but adds a final comment, "I believe that The Folk may be involved in this..." he seems to struggle for a moment, as though unsure he should continue, "but if they are, they do not seem to be abiding by the old customs."


Jack Ketch wrote:
"What a strange place this is. Makes one wonder what these tunnels are really used for. Or by." Jack will begin moving forward at around half speed, drawing his silver sword cautiously.

"Indeed," Luff whispers, following the 'halfling' forwards cautiously, "the denizens of this place seem very strange indeed - though I have yet to see them I feel they are oddly familiar to me..."

Nightflier:
Admittedly, there's only been the voices so far, but your desciption of the laughter makes me think of the fey... is that enough to go on for a knowledge(nature) check to glean some information?


"Careful," Luff speaks quietly, fading back into view and offering a hand as Jack reaches the entrance. "There is a strange presence in these tunnels... it is quite a disturbing sensation."


Nightflier:
The pixie flaps his wings urgently at the sound of laughter, lifting him from the ground as his keen eyes scan the interior of the tunnel for the source of the unfamiliar voices or any other sign of ill intent.

Perception 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Detect Evil along with the usual See Invisibility


nightflier wrote:
As you stand betwixt and between, not inside the tunnel, not outside it, not under the earth, not in the air... you start to feel strange. Like you are becoming lighter than you are. Lighter than air. Fortitude check, please.

Luff sways back slightly at the odd sensation, reaching out to the side of the tunnel to steady himself.

Fort Save:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
There's also Spell Resistance 16 if that makes a difference.


The pixie flaps his wings energetically to carry himself up towards the now open sewer outlet, disappearing from sight as he does so. Once he reaches the tunnel, he perches himself in the opening to await the others, glancing curiously into the darkness.


After some time, the pixie returns and sets down on the ground near the grating.

"It would seem that the nearest entrance to the sewers large enough for us all is to the south of the docks... shall we go?"


nightflier wrote:
** spoiler omitted **

Nightflier:
Are there maps of the sewers available to the public?

"Hmm..." the pixie muses as he begins to beat his wings faster, slowly gaining altitude, "if the trail leads here, I wonder how the girl was taken past the grates."

Luff then flies off to find a large group of people to question regarding nearby sewer entrances.

Gather Information 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20


"Very well," Luff chimes, "I shall question those that call this area their home in order to discern the location of an alternative entrance to the sewers. When my investigations are complete I will meet you back here."

He looks over to Jack with a tilted head, "is this grate near location your sources said the sugar smell was located?"


"I may be able to loosen the rivets, so that one of you can remove our obstacle," the pixie casually mentions, hovering over the sewer grate.

"But even if I do, you three might have some trouble fitting down there," he looks from Alderthane, to Zissaren and finally to Arathalia, "though you seem quite... flexible."


"Very well," Luff speaks, "we shall investigate the source of the poison once the child is safe."

"I believe that Jack mentioned the sewers," he states as he takes to the air and flutters around the door, waiting for the others to move.


"Oh," Luff states coldly towards the innkeeper, once more fully visible, "I believe that you should be concerned with the cabbage, since it would seem that it is the cabbage from your kitchen that caused our malady."


As Luff begins to feel the ill effects of the meal, he is distracted from his focus on remaining visible and his small form begins to fade in and out of view.

Grasping out at the table, he looks accusingly towards the barmaid with his dark eyes.


Fort save 1d20+1=7


"I fail to see how my loyalty to my mistress demonstrates a lack of reliability," the pixie says coldly to the archon, "and I would much rather not swear any oaths - they are extremely binding to we fey, and there may be unexpected consequences should the wording of the oath conflict with a course of action that may be for the good of us all."


The pixie studiously ignores the old man's name calling, and scrapes at the dregs of his bowl in silence.


Luff looks passively at the newcomer for a few seconds, then turns to the table, "This is Alderthane," he states levelly, "my mistress has asked him to aid us in finding out about the missing children, in exchange for a particular lotion that she is procuring for him."


Luff continues to hungrily eat the stew, while occasionally sending a discreet glance towards the nearby barmaid.

"Did you all sleep comfortably?" he asks, in an attempt at idle conversation.


"Of course," the pixie adds after a slight pause, "maybe we should finish our breakfast before discussing the investigation."

Perception check by all players, please.

Perception 1d20+12=30 or just 28 if the check isn't sight or sound based.
