The Celestial Dragon

DC 20 Will save: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29. Evasion only works on Reflex saves, so Satari still takes 12 damage.

Satari flinches from the clinging darkness, and is relieved that he does not feel his life force draining away. Then he sees the serpentine head of a great drake thrusts its way through the ruined wall.

"Altai, Elgan - if you have any more friends, I think now might be a good time to call on them."

I really need to go back through and total up Satari's hp before deciding on an action.


The Celestial Dragon

"Altai, everything seems calm. Much like the centre of a hurricane I suspect. No sign of Beldan yet, but there may be more coccoons below Elgan's wall. Or perhaps ... through the gate."

You can hear the distaste in Satari's voice at the thought of entering that vile yellow cloud.

"What can we do about our blinded companions? And our wounds?"


The Celestial Dragon

Ref save DC 22: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

Satari shrugs off the clinging darkness, remaining stoic in the face of its vile shadow. He looks down into the depths of the tower, seeking further threats to face or innocents to rescue.

Perception 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43

"Have we rescued everyone we can? Did we find Beldan? I don't like the thought of that gate behind Elgan's stone wall, or what might emerge from it."


The Celestial Dragon

Satari flies up just as Elgin's wall closes beneath his feet. He is tempted to plunge straight into the ominous cloud of darkness, seeking the malice at its centre.

"Does anyone know what that shadow is?"

Instead, the monk charges in a long spiral at the mothman menacing Pip and Altai.

Charge m4. Attack: 1d20 + 21 + 3 + 2 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 21 + 3 + 2 + 1 - 1 = 39; damage 4d8 + 9 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (7, 2, 3, 6) + 9 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 4 = 42.

The Celestial Dragon

Ref DC 22: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29

Satari swiftly shields his eyes from the enemy's incandescent spell.

Ref DC 28: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34

He is lucky enough to also survive Altai's return stroke of arcane brilliance.

Actions tomorrow morning - have to go to bed :)

The virulent green ray strikes Satari in the centre of his chest, attempting to rend the monk's material form apart. Fort save 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31

Having withstood the spell, Satari again decides not to bother crossing the intervening space to his target, instead simply appearing where he needs to be and launching a devastating assault.

The Celestial Dragon

"Best we were finished quickly. I don't like the thought of being caught in that storm."


The Celestial Dragon

Satari shudders briefly as his body dehydrates under the mothman's assault, but the old man's flesh is already withered and toughened by long decades of training. Fort: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29. Take 22 damage.

"Stay safe. I'll be back if needed but that spell was unpleasant."

Seeing that the mothmen are content to attack from range with their fell sorceries, Satari moves to meet them. Or rather, slides between dimensions and appears above the caster mothman, fists and feet driving it down into the air elemental below.

The Celestial Dragon

Satari, seeing his comrades rain down elemental fury on the mothmen, decides to linger near Altai and Pip to act as a bodyguard of sorts.


The Celestial Dragon

"Mmm. Reminds me of wasps nests in a rotten tree. We should start searching the cocoons; when the warders awake there may be very many of them and the option of a quick escape would be welcome."

Satari starts in L2-M3.


The Celestial Dragon

"Thank you for your advice, it is always good to know the road not to take. Avoids all kinds of unpleasantness. Time passes swiftly and our friend awaits us, perhaps we will meet again, ah, Doyobi-san?"


The Celestial Dragon

Satari should have made another save: Fort DC 24: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33

The toxin has no effect on the monk's constitution.

EDIT: also, Satari has been immune to poison since level 11 :)

Satari looks guardedly at the newcomer and gets to one knee, still close to Altai's recumbent form. "His facepaint is not encouraging - but I have seen stranger sights since traveling with you. Friend or foe, do we think?"


The Celestial Dragon

Satari reacts quickly as Altai loses consciousness many feet in the air. The monk flies up to catch the plummeting mage, depositing him gently near Elgin.

"I fear the toxin has overcome our dear wizard - perhaps you have a spell that could help?"


The Celestial Dragon

Satari shrugs off the dagger as a flesh wound, then feels a unearthly chill penetrate his bloodstream. Fort save: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26

He steels himself but is still distracted enough that he fails to defend properly against the shaggy outsider's furious assault. Bleeding, reeling, the old monk gives no ground, standing between Altai and this threat.

Satari channels his ki inward, creating a knot of energy that hardens and toughens his skin and gives it a sheen like polished iron. Ki Defense: +4 AC this round. AC is 34. His attack is unhindered by his defensive meditation.

Satari has 80/147 HP remaining.


The Celestial Dragon

Oops. I'm so used to being far behind...


The Celestial Dragon

Satari concentrates on putting the shagnasty beast down so that Elgan can concentrate on other matters.

The Celestial Dragon

Satari disdains the enemy attacking him in favor of assisting Altai. The enlarged monk flies straight up, and then veers toward the shaggy outsider with a powerful charge, hoping to distract it.

Charge: 1d20 + 21 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 21 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 41; damage 4d8 + 9 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 2) + 9 + 3 + 2 = 25


The Celestial Dragon

Satari takes in a deep breath before the toxic vapors reach him.

Will save: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33. He takes 16 damage and is not sickened.


The Celestial Dragon

Satari steps in front of Pip, and readies an attack against anything that comes within reach. He tries to make out what threats remain after Altai's rain of frozen carnage.


The Celestial Dragon

"A good point," Satari whispers to the empty air of Pip's passing. "It is well said that evil may turn on itself."


The Celestial Dragon

"We cannot leave that prisoner here - not when we plan to bring the entire building down as we leave."


The Celestial Dragon

"That seems a wise course of action. I will see what may be seen."

Stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (15) + 23 = 38
Perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30


The Celestial Dragon

Satari peers downwards as far as the light allows, and slowly carefully begins to descend. The cautious old man stays right in the centre of the pit, as far from leaping ambush as possible.

Perception: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (17) + 24 = 41
Stealth: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43


The Celestial Dragon

I regret that haven't had the pleasure of the honored gentleman's company.


The Celestial Dragon

Satari winces at the awful noises but seems unphased Will save: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34.

"A fine idea with the acid," he remarks to Emrael above the gibbering howls, "but whatever they are they seem to like it."

Seeing that the creature's tentacles are more resistant than he first thought, he strikes quickly and powerfully, with a series of spinning kicks and back-fist punches, gyrating with deadly precision in the air above the pit.

Satari might be flanking with Gjetost but I'm not sure so I didn't include flanking bonuses. 3D is hard!


The Celestial Dragon

Satari sees the opportunity that Getost's maneuver creates. He launches himself upwards, striking not at the enemies themselves but at the oozing tentacles that connect them to Altai's guardian. He seeks to rip through them with a single furious flying kick, leaving the teckalilis to plunge back into their pit.

The Celestial Dragon

"Excuse me," Satari says after his long silence, "while I kiss the sky."

"Our road leads into darkness," the monk gestures towards the room with the pit and the horrific mural.


The Celestial Dragon

Grateful for the renewed life and vitality provided by Elgan's healing arts, Satari is quiet while the group continues exploring. He is as bemused as his companions by the river scene through their first door.

He moves in front of Emrael to examine the next door for tricks and traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36


The Celestial Dragon

Satari tries to quiet his mind among the clamoring pain of his wounded flesh. Should he return to the fray, or should he conserve his strength for greater challenges within the temple?


The Celestial Dragon

status:
Bardsong +3. Strength +4. 142 HP lost. AC 32. Deafened. Hasted. Dragon Style stance.. 1 ki spent.

Satari reels under the elephantine abomination's assault as it tears through Altai's arcane protections and into his whipcord flesh. Bleeding and stunned he instinctively throws himself to safety. His form flickers and reappears instantly across Claw's broad shoulder. Shuddering he tries to focus his ki to staunch the great gushing wounds.

5 HP left even with false life! Abundant Step to safety. Wholeness of Body heals 16 HP.

Satari winces as blood begins to trickle from his ears. The world moves around him in a bubble of silence. Aware of the peril behind him the monk steps to one side then launches a devastating series of blows at the damodand, hoping to destroy it quickly.

The Celestial Dragon

Satari moves quickly (unlike his player!) around the back of the tarry beasts, hoping to provide Emrael with a flanking opportunity. His stance becomes supple and sinuous leading inexorably to a single powerful kick at the end of his movement.

Taking note of the sticky fate of the sword of Altai's servant, the old monk is careful to strike the demon's head only with the sole of his sandal.

Adopt dragon style. Move to Y 17 avoiding AoOs.
Attack (bard song, dragon style, dragon ferocity, power attack)
1d20 + 21 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 21 + 3 - 4 = 28; damage 2d10 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 8 ⇒ (8, 4) + 6 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 8 = 35


The Celestial Dragon

"Very effective, master Altai. The best fight is the one you do not need to have."


The Celestial Dragon

*bustles in* Sorry, sorry.

Satari-san is a pace ahead of Altai, in X22.

I read the spell; you guys can all see yourselves and each other.

Oh, well that's pretty handy then.

He looks at the newcomers to the group.

"Dat's jes sorta deh way our luck runs." he explains.

"I have already guessed as much, dear tree," says the monk with a wry smile. "So, any further preparations? Beldan waits within."


The Celestial Dragon

"I am ready as soon as Altai casts his circle of unseeing." The old man brushes tadpole-snow from his shoulders with distaste, but his eyes never leave the entrance to the temple.

"Hmmmm... The tower looks tasty. We could fly in through the top windows and give the proprietor a nasty surprise."

"Beyond that, your ideas are as good as mine. Normally I'd like to wait until nightfall to sneak in, but here? No way. We go in now, under the cover of invisibility. My best guess is that we will need to make our way into the mountain behind the biggest building, though. So - do we quietly hit each building, kill everything and everyone and then move on to the next one - or do we sneak through the main building while hidden by magic, leaving the others alone?"

"I suggest we focus on our goal, which is to rescue Beldan rather than to scour the entire nest. Trying to clear each building risks raising the alarm early and accomplishing nothing. We should strike like shadows directly for the heart."

The moon rises. It looks bigger somehow than usual, as though it was a prop in an opera that you could reach up on your tippy toes and touch from the crow's nest above on the main mast. Beams of magical light seem to be slowly reaching out from the moon, and tiny motes like black smudges seem evident in the beams of eldritch light.

Elgan with his elvish eyes can see that they are rainbows, comprised mainly of light from spectra that humans cannot see. Bee purple, and other unknown colors from the palette of some other world's forgotten creator gods.

Lovely.


The Celestial Dragon

"Altai's plan still seems wise. We need enchantments of flight and stealth before we descend upon them with mayhem and war."

The old monk looks eager for this, as you have not seen him look eager for combat often before. His sensitive soul feels evil roil from this place like the more tangible aura of cold, and for once he has no qualms about going into battle.


The Celestial Dragon

Satari stays in the rigging, watching the skies. Occasionally he points out particularly amusing cloud formations.


The Celestial Dragon

"Remember that the green lands and sunlit hills, the mountain snows and high arc of the osprey still exist in the worlds we know. This desolation is the ... despair ... of some dreamer. Do not lose yourself in it."

Satari pitches his voice to reach the rest of the party.

"Is there any value in descending to speak with those who toil below?"


The Celestial Dragon

Satari climbs up into the rigging to be near Elgan-monkey, moving lightly from hand to hand and balancing on the spars like a life-long sailor.

"You have a deep connection with the land. Does this desolation pain you very much?" Sympathy reflects in the old monk's lined face.

Did somebody have find the path available?


The Celestial Dragon

"The best decision. I did not feel that they were altogether trustworthy. Though I suspect we may see their master again. This place is riddled with convergence."


The Celestial Dragon

"It is a great pleasure to find such courtesy, unanticipated. We are on a grand journey to rescue a dear friend from deadly peril, but it could be that Zura lies in our path. Altai, do you understand the geography of dreams?"

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (8) + 24 = 32.


The Celestial Dragon

Satari stands patient as stone next to Emrael on the foredeck. "Ah. I will enjoy testing my skills against these hyakume."


The Celestial Dragon

"I am glad we are agreed against a stroll in the forest of flesh. Altai is right however, we cannot leave while the shadow of the dybbuk lurks throughout the ship. Altai, call forth your cohorts that we may see where evil lurks."


The Celestial Dragon

"Perhaps we should approach by air, above the trees? More obvious but far less distasteful than a stroll through those trees."

Elgan looks and sounds very much like he is trying to convince himself, not any party member.

"Um,... Kin we git outta here yit? Er iz we still waitin fer an invite?"

Satari, alert to Elgan's palpable moral distress, tries to ease the druid's heart. "As I remember, she stepped willingly into the machine to speed us on our mission. A worthy sacrifice, and one I hope she does not regret, wherever her essence now rests."

"Altai, can we proceed? Or do we need some new form of motive power? If so we may find a willing volunteer beneath the waves." Satari shudders with repressed memories of lambent green possession. ... kill me or free me...
