”Lets try to spare Kharazhar.”
Stepping back, Krowe grabs his spellbook and flips to a bookmark. Channeling some arcane power, he alters the energy of a spell in his mind.

Faolan hesitates, waiting a moment for any further buffs. His allies are so helpful, he doesn’t want to leave anything on the table. Eventually though, he acts, and continues to bash at the naga, ignoring the other creature (though he keeps his shield high against its attacks).

Faolan bashes the naga and Bazsil chops into his corpse, standing victoriously over him. The large creature, Kharazhar, seems to snap out of a fugue state, throwing arms into the air and backing up. Sylyeese moves to her and they embrace. She turns to you.
"Thank you for sparing us. It is rare to see mercy in this place."
Krowe snaps his book closed, ready to bend physics over a couch!
”Oh..” He says, seeing the fight already over. ”Well, hmm.”
”Soo, how about you explain that.” He gestures to the dead naga. ”And then, if you can, maybe tell us where we are and help us get to where we want to go?”
Bazsil resists plunging his blade into the dead again, mostly out of irritation, but doesn’t want to overtly offend the remaining naga while she’s being cooperative.
”Thank you for not throwing yourself on our blades, but as I mentioned earlier, we’re just trying to find safe passage to the dwarf city,” he repeats, cleaning off his blade and checking the corpse for rights of victory, aka loot.
|
|
Sylyeese grimaces but says nothing as you pillage her dead brother. "Well, that's easy. Keep walking that way and you'll find a passage up past the lava and into the city. That's where the gugs went so you'll probably see them. You should know there's some strange creature in the cave just before the lava tubes. It killed a few of Kharazhar's friends. It's a ball of liquid with rocks and metal floating around it, and it can make tentacles. I didn't mess with it and I don't know what it is."
She has motioned towards the tunnel behind her, the only other way out of this cavern. If you leave peacefully, Kharazhar approaches you with a box that has clearly been ripped off the side of a beetle and offers it to you.
Faolan, impressed by the quick combat, and lack of opponents, listens as the smart folk chat.
In the end, he smiles, and takes the box from Kharazhar. Opening it after they leave he says, "That one was rather nice I thought."
Faolan has no particular preparation, but looks forward to see what spells are laid upon his frame next. He's very appreciative.
Bazsil waits to see what is in the box.
Krowe ponders. "It could be an elemental, but I would need to see it to be sure. Considering there is lava, let's prepare for some heat."
Reopening his spellbook, Krowe gives a little sigh, then focuses his energy to change the magic patterns in his mind, removing the spell he just placed there and manifesting a new one.
Closing the book and stowing it away, he looks at the box.
"I might be able to get this open with some time..."

As Krowe protects the group from the heat of lava Bor reaches out and strengthens the spell just a little further with a prayer.

* * *
”Y’all want to approach invisibly? We can do that…” Bazsil will offer Invisibility Sphere and Good Hope when the party gets closer. He will have his bow out and have a song on his lips.
If Krowe can't get it open, he'll smash it open, though he expects the man will succeed and violence won't be necessary. Once the box is open, he'll wonder about the 'goop'. Is it living, or just sludge?
Faolan thanks his friends for the many and powerful protections. He turns to Bazsil, ”Sure, we can go invisibly. Might surprise who-ever’s there!”
He’ll stay close, knowing that the sphere is limited in size. But he leads, shield held high, ready for battle.

You wait as Krowe fiddles with the lock, eventually popping it open to find the contents. It occurs to you that you've now met a trox, and before the pair move away you hand over the ownership papers you stole from the other lockbox you cracked open.
Preparing yourself against fire and lava, you move to the next room. It is a larger cavern and much warmer than the last. Rough-hewn stone forms the walls of this extended cave complex, while the floor consists of broken bits of rock. Insectile body parts litter the area. Smaller nooks, eight to ten feet deep, are dug into the walls, reaching almost to the ceiling.
In the center of the cavern floats the promised blob. Four tentacles stick out of a churning nucleus of multicolored fluid. Plates of rock and metal orbit the floating mass. The mass seems to sense your presence somehow and begins floating towards you.
This is a khardajeen, ancient monstrosities of a forgotten age. This is not their true name but instead a mishmash of Dwarven combining the phrases 'scourge of the deep' and 'oh #$%# run!'.
Know (dungeoneering)
"Ah, s##%...Krowe? Is that one of them khardajeen? You know?" Bazsil whispers, hoping Krowe can hear.

Assuming he learns about the darkvision being a problem with this fight, Faolan will step away from the invisibility, and light up his shield so it shines like a torch! He’ll swiftly grant himself the Dodge feat, then he’ll move into position - looking forward to the fight.
"What's a khardajeen?" Bor draws his shield, depending entirely on his faith alone.
Bazsil hopes Krowe knows more, and waits to speak more than he already has.
”Uhh..” Krowe’s mouth hangs open a moment. ”I got nothing. I suggest we hit it hard, and if it hits back harder we skip out and reassess.”
Krowe then summons a couple salamanders to keep it busy while Faolan tests its mettle.
"Sezzash ammun'ka!"
As Krowe begins casting, Bazsil starts a song.
”What the hell is that?
Must be some sort of cat?
I can’t tell if it has a spleen,
Oh hells, it’s a khardajeen!”

The khardajeen ignores the salamanders as they completely fail to hurt it. It turns one tentacle towards Faolan and shoots a ray of acid at him. The other three lash out at the salamanders.
The khardajeen is completely silent as it attacks, other than the sounds of tentacles slapping salamanders silly.

”The salamanders are on our side, Bor.” Krowe says, stepping to the side, trying to give the creature a shot at him without exposing himself to a melee charge. He hopes his ring is up to the task of protecting him.
Unsure what magics might affect the thing, he casts a haste spell to give his allies an edge.
Meanwhile, the salamanders fight on..
|
|
The salamanders once again fail to injure the khardajeen, even with Faolan's distraction. The creature focuses on Faolan, silently turning its attention to him. The red crystal on the end of a tentacle turns topaz as a ray of acid and a ray of electricity lance out. The other two tentacles slap at him.

Bor notices the exit and runs for it. "Let's get out of here! Let the fight."

Faolan isn’t willing to turn tail, not this time. Not again!

”Heal me! I got this!” Faolan cries out at the end of his rapid attacks. He's confident that while Desna didn't favor him, all the support he's received, and his own skill bashing with the shield, will result in a few hits.
Faolan swears as his shield makes little purchase on the creature. "Damn and blast!"
He still shows no signs of running away.

Drop bow.
Double move.
Still singing, Bazsil drops his bow and draws his sword as he double moves to give Faolan flank.

Faolan may be a fool, but he’s not an immortal fool, so he withdraws behind the front lines for some healing.
(Withdraw, so all I do is move... and gnash my teeth!)

Bor skids to a halt as he doesn't see anyone else following him. He turns at the sound of Faolan receiving a massive beatdown. "Faolan, wat are you doing!" He runs back and tries to heal the man's injuries.

"Everyone gather on Faolan!" Krowe shouts as he dashes to merc. Once everyone is within reach he calls upon his magic to whisk them a distance away.
The poor salamanders stab and stab, though their attacks seem hopeless.
Round 3
Withdraw.
Stopping singing, Bazsil withdraws to circle back with Krowe. He’s not happy about it.
”Seems like we’re running away an awful lot lately. Maybe we shouldn’t do that.”

[spoiler=Bazsil's Deep Song of Wrath] Bazsil has activated his bard like song. You can opt in or opt out. Your choice...but you get all or none of the below. Bazsil will be opting in because that's what he does. You get:
1) +4 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution
2) +4 morale bonus on Will saving throws
3) +1 to dodge AC (+2 for guarded stance,-1 for song)
4) You cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or use any ability that requires concentration.
5) +1 insight AC vs Outsiders and Aberrations
6) +1d6 damage vs. evil outsiders and considered good-aligned
7) Weapons gain good/evil/chaotic/lawful for overcoming DR
8) +2 resistance bonus vs. spells or effects with an alignment descriptor or that come from an outsider or aberration while raging[ /spoiler]
[spoiler=Battle Cry (+1 morale to hit, +4 vs. fear)]
Benefit: A number of times per day equal to your Charisma bonus, you can let out a battle cry as a swift action. When you do, allies within 30 feet who can hear you gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against fear. This effect lasts for 1 minute.
If an ally is under the effect of this feat and fails a saving throw, she can choose to end the battle cry’s effect on her to reroll the failed save against a fear effect. The ally must take the result of the reroll, even if it’s lower. Each ally can use this effect only once per use of this feat.
[/ spoiler]
Bazsil thinks they should hustle on, having embarrassed themselves for the second battle in a row.
"Let's get gone. That was ridiculous. We had all the warnings."
