Euan's Second Darkness (Inactive)

Game Master Euan

Ed spends much of the week upgrading his gear and figuring out how to divvy up a fortune he'd never expected to have. Part of him regrets not saving more to spend back home, maybe build his own small empire in riddleport, but he knew the money was likely to save their lives and that would have to be enough.

When it came time to finally start the next leg of adventure Ederin fit his new goggles over his eyes, wincing as the strap tugged on a few hairs, and got ready.

No going back now. he thinks as his form loses substance and he follows the rest of the party through the gate.

The party forms into wisps of vapor and launch themselves through the portal. As they go streaming into the chamber where they fought the drow not so long ago, they note the dead have been removed, but no drow guard remains to protect the portal on their side. Those forces are apparently elsewhere…

With help from Ederin, Kaylayne, and Lief, you fly incredibly quickly into the dark tunnels and twisted passages of the Darklands. During the first grueling 10 hour day (I’m not going to worry about forced march for two hours, but you are tired, though not fatigued at the end of it) you pass by many creatures, both horrible and wondrous.

You pass through the three distinct layers of the Darklands in your journey.

The Nar-Voth is the uppermost region of the Darklands, descending from the surface of Golarion to a depth of about 2000 feet. This region consists of a series of interconnected cave networks, some of which are connected to one another through lengthy twisting passages. While the caverns are immense and span great distances, they do not span the length of entire continents. For a cave system to be considered part of Nar-Voth, there must be a passage leading down to Sekamina, where such vast systems can be found. When surface-dwelling races talk about the Darklands, they are generally referring to Nar-Voth, as this is the only section that most of them have been in contact with.

Sekamina is the middle realm of the Darklands, deeper than shallow tunnels of Nar-Voth and more well-known than deep Orv. This region consists of vast and seemingly unending underground caverns and tunnels that span continents. Found here are massive chambers, great underground rivers, and almost unfathomable lakes. Most of the entrances to Sekamina require traveling through Nar-Voth first, but there are a few deviations to this. Sekamina starts at a depth of approximately 2,000 feet and extends to about 8,000 feet. This is predominately where the drow live and you do see a drow citadel as you whisk by.

Finally, you reach Orv - the deepest of the three layers that compose Golarion's vast underground Darklands. It is the most mysterious and isolated part, and consists of dozens of immense enchanted chambers called vaults: gigantic caverns thousands of feet in height and covering regions large enough to contain entire nations. Each vault of Orv has its own rules, its own environment, and its own masters. Most vaults seem to be representative of entire biomes, to include deserts, jungles, forests, and even an underground sea. Other than legends, very little is known of this region. Even for the inhabitants of Nar-Voth and Sekamina, much of Orv remains shrouded in fear and mystery.

You know you have arrived in Orv, and in the Land of Black Blood, when the tunnel you are coursing through widens and you sense a vast dark chamber before you - and the smell creeps into your nostrils and even into your very spirit. You cannot see far with your darkvision, but it is clear you are in a wide open space.

You pause and solidify just inside the chamber. You remove a Map of the Land of Black Blood, provided by the mysterious Pathfinder who travelled here before you. (obviously the letter guides are not on the map, save for ‘A’ and ‘E’ - which on your map are marked ‘Entrance’ and ‘Haiten Bhaq’ respectively).

You still have hours of Wind Walk remaining and some 20-30 miles yet to go to your first destination.

Kaylayne tries to take note of the various strata she passes through on the journey, and while she knows there are differences logically, when she sees it going through it, it's mostly just dark, if not dark and dank.

"I think this is Orv," Kaylayne stops her flight to whisper (if she can talk at all). If she can, she will examine the map, trying to find landmarks with which to adjust and pinpoint their location.

"I think we are here...and need to go there. This is a large large cavern, and might have more dangers here than most. Keep your guard up."

Darkvision to Tarkir, to be sure. Extended Barkskin to Kaylayne.

Dimitrio could see in the dark just fine but it was just not the same. Not when your world ended just 60' ahead of you. One could never see out to the horizon in the underdark. One could never experience the vastness of something. One was always thinking that a wall or, worse, a monster was just out of your range of vision. Merely 60' away.

He hadn't realized this in the drow kingdom where everything was new and exciting but it was very evident here in this dark, cold world. He pitied the people that had been forced to live here and maybe even could start to understand their hatred towards those that forced them.

Layne's words wake him out of his reverie. He looks at the map and nods.

Enjoying the feel of his solid body, he adds, "Let's continue using the spell granted to us. We can solidify again once we are closer and maybe walk the last 1/2 mile or so."

Allarnon's wispy form wobbles and shifts in agreement. "Let's use these forms while we still have the advantage."

The bearman's wispy form floats quickly through the air, staying low to the ground as he follows the trail as best as possible. "Let's find us a genie."

Survival: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38

"The genie is this way!" His voice carries like whispers on the wind as he moves through the several underground wonders. Excitement courses through his veins again as he is living the stories told by his ancestors.

No buffs for Tarkir / Allarnon until Wind Walk wears off.

Lief makes observations about the changing layers of the Underdark, as best he can, given the limitations of his magic. Initially, he keeps his pace wary, unsure of the true capability of flying in wind-form. He intentionally brushes up against formations, feeling little of the interaction between his non-corporeal form and the real world, so allows himself to speed up, even though his vision cautions him mentally to avoid running headlong into something out of the black.

He allows the tracker to guide them towards their first destination.

Kaylayne nods at Allarnon, trusting the guide to guide them to the Genie's lair which might be near the eastern side of the southern ridge of mountains.

She floats and follows. I believe we are going towards E.

Following Dimitrio's advice, you whisk your way through the air at high speed another half hour or so, until the statues thicken, and you can see a structure up ahead.

You slow, and congeal once again into your normal forms.

A wide building of lighter stone rises from the dark stone here. A grove of statues stands before the building, each form contorted and with some of their features unfinished or broken off. A pathway leads through these statues to a large set of doors in the building’s facade.

You're 60' from the building - the furthest you can be and still see it. (New map up, but you're a little further than indicated.)

Lief takes a good look at the statues. For the dwelling of a shaitan, he expects anything made from stone to be in perfect condition.

Perception: 1d20 + 19 + 1d8 ⇒ (19) + 19 + (7) = 45

"Haiten Bhaq is a genie capable of working stone like putty. Broken statues look out of place to me."

The statues seem to have been carved by a varied number of different artists. Close examination reveals different styles throughout. This does not look like the work of one person, or genie.

Some of the statues are very old indeed and there is a mix of old and young throughout the stone garden.

As the looming building comes within sight and the wind walk spells effects wear off leaving him in his material form once again, Allarnon does what protective elements he can to himself and Tarkir.

Tarkir- Greater Magic Fang (11 hrs); Barkskin (11 hrs)
Allarnon- Barkskin(11 hrs)

Allarnon slowly makes his way through the several statues as he looks at them closely as his bodies skin shreds and leaves a trail on the ground while he forms into his more comfortable bear-like state.

Perception: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30

"I didn't realize that the denizens of the Underdark were such artists."

He makes his way to the set of double doors and gives them a small shove to open them.

Lief imagines that by opening the doors, the shaitan will know immediately of their presence. Whether she approaches them amicably or hostilely, he doesn't know. Especially when the first thing to cross her doorstep is a large bear, of all things.

He waits silently to see what happens. He pictures Allarnon turning into stone, to become another statue in the shaitan's personal courtyard collection.

Cautious about the statues, the bard keeps his distance from the art works but moves forward toward the wide building.

"Well, we may as well announce ourselves. This is definitely the right way to do things."

Without waiting for anyone else's permission, he heralded, "Hello there, Master Genie. Mr. Bhaq, sir, are you in? We come in peace..."

"Haiten is female, Dimitr.." Lief stifles the rest of his correction, shaking his head.

"Haiten is female, Dimitr.." Lief stifles the rest of his correction, shaking his head.

Dimitrio quickly excuses himself, "No offense meant ma'am. You'll be the first genie I ever meet."

He quickly added, "Ma'am, are you home?"

-----------
that felt very natural for Dimitrio to screw up like that. :)

"I didn't realize that the denizens of the Underdark were such artists."

Kaylayne joins Allarnon in his observations about the statues. "Well, they did mention that this genie fancies the stone. It makes some sense," Kaylayne considers as she prepares herself for trouble.

Kaylayne moves to Dimitrio and offers some protection. (Barkskin +5 for 130 minutes). And then to Tarkir. (Extended Magic Circle against Evil - 260 minutes).

Kaylayne, for the time being, stays very, very close to Tarkir, floating above and behind him.

* * *

"Ma'am, are you home?"

Kaylayne tries not to cringe at Dimi's mistake, hoping that is the last faux pas of this visit.

As his body becomes more solid and eventually returns to it's natural form, Ederin breathes a sigh of relief. The journey had been interesting, but he couldn't get comfortable with his gaseous form and feeling the ground below his feet was a much better sensation, even if they were stranded far below the surface.

While Dimitrio called out for their genie, Ederin looks around for any tracks or signs of recent life that might point them toward Haiten.

Survival:Track: 1d20 + 18 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 18 + 6 + 2 = 32

As Dimitrio errs, and Allarnon opens the unlocked, and in fact, unlatched doors, Edrin notes the tracks of 9 light humanoid individuals. If he were a betting man, he'd think elven, but of course down here...

Allarnon confirmed it as the door swings wide.

The walls of the entrance hallway open outward, suggesting a much wider space within the main shrine. Blood stains the marble tile, and the bodies of two drow lie crumpled on the floor - one crushed as if by a great weight, the other slammed into the far right pillar and folded in half around it.

Please post as if in rounds. Consider this the surprise round in terms of actions.

-Round Surprise-
Kaylayne - 22

Drow - 5

Round of Surprises

Kaylayne seems very surprised that Dimi's yells didn't alert the foes. What luck!

She concentrates inward, then outward, to push the Other Kaylayne's frenetic energy to others.

Haste: Round (1/13)

@Kaylayne- I may have missed it. Did you put Magic Vestment on Tarkir?

Allarnon shakes his fur. As it bristles out a small gleam shines within as particles of diamond dust begin to harden just on the edges from within his fanny pack.

Cast Stoneskin

Perception: 1d20 + 19 + 1d9 ⇒ (3) + 19 + (8) = 30

Surprise Round

Lief directs his attention to what lies beyond the doors. With the dead drow, he can now say that drow are about, and will likely be part of the next confrontation. He drinks down a vial, and waits to see into the structure. Cast Shield.

Not knowing why everyone was getting ready battle, Dimitrio cast his own defensive spell and notes his form becoming blurry.

"What's going on?"

-------------
perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22

Kaylayne casts haste. Ederin still has an action. Lief casts shield and casts his senses beyond the heavy door. Dimitrio becomes blurry and worries. Allarnon prepares with a stoneskin.

For most of you, the chamber is still relatively quiet, but you think you can hear something from beyond the doors. Hard to say for sure…

-Round 1-
Kaylayne - 22
Ederin - 20
Good Folk - 15
Lief - 13
Dimitrio - 12
Allarnon - 9
Drow - 5

Next up - Kaylayne and Ederin in round one (Ederin also still has a surprise round action).

Kaylayne delays for Tarkir, intending to move when it does.

"I'll save my magics for whatever is behind that door."

Kaylyane and Ederin both delay until later in the round for simplicity. You hear a very faint, long scraping sound from the other chamber, like metal on stone.

-Round 1-
Ederin - 14

Next up - Everyone! (Ederin still has a surprise action).

"Come on Tark! Allarnon rushes into the room and slams into the next set of doors, crashing them open.

"Come on Tark! Allarnon rushes into the room and slams into the next set of doors, crashing them open.

"Wait up, bearman."

Dimitrio, blade in hand, follows Allarnon and his bear to get a closer look.

Round 1, Init 9

Kaylayne moves up behind Takir and snaps the Staff of Dark Flame into her hands. Depending on what she sees when the doors are opened, she might act.

Stnd action to come as doors are revealed.

Haste: 2/13. +1 to AC/Reflex/yadayada +1 attx

Round 1, Init 13

Lief loads his hand crossbow, and waits to take a shot at the first drow he spies. Delay

Ederin delays for the opening of the door. Lief delays (can’t load a crossbow and delay, so you’re just delayed for now). Allarnon bursts open the doors. Dimitrio delays until after Allarnon and enters behind him. Kaylayne moves and…

This wide, oblong room is constructed of the same pale stone as the rest of the shrine. Clear crystals and pale gems create and reflect light around the high-ceilinged chamber some 50’ up, standing from the stone of the walls like ageless sconces. Staircases on either side of the room lead up to a 20’ elevated altar platform on the far side.

Atop that platform is an incredible sight. The Genie (image) in all her glory is battling a handful of drow crowding her on both sides. She is a beautiful scimitar wielding giant of a woman seemingly made of dark and polished stone. Her scimitar flashes in the light of the chamber, sending reflections all around the room, but the drow are pressing hard, and there are already a few injuries in her ebony body.

-Round 1-
Ederin - 14 (delay)
Lief - 13 (delay)
Allarnon - 9
Dimitrio - 9-
Kaylayne - 8
Drow - 5

Good Folk - 15

Still up - Everyone but Allarnon. (Ederin still has a surprise action).

Seeing their 'guide' in trouble spurred Dimitrio into action. never mind that she surrounded by the hated drow.

He towards the dark elves while taunting, "Hey fellows. Six on one is not a fair fight; how about a couple of you come over and cross blades with me?"

With his magical speed, he reaches the drow at the top of the stairs and viciously stabs him.

With the inner battle revealed, Ederin clicks his heels and rushes into the room, hoping to give the crow something else to focus on.

"F@+!in' drow!" He shouts as he fires an opening shot at red.

had some technical issues as evidenced by my need to download this app just to post

-Posted with Wayfinder

Kaylayne, now closer to the genie, speaks to her in Common, having failed to identify another shared language.

"Please forgive the intrusion Haiten, we came seeking your aid...and because we have no love of the drow, please accept our aid now."

Round 1, Init Delay to 7

Lief wordlessly hastens into the room, studying Red from a distance, before loading his crossbow, and firing.

+1 Hand Crossbow, Haste, Ranged Study: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 1 + 6 = 35 for 1d4 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 6 = 11 damage
Studied Strike: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 6, 6, 6) = 27 damage

He takes time to look Haiten Bhaq over, appreciative of the chance to soon interact with such a rare creature. He watches as Dimitrio and Ederin kick into action, while Kaylayne decides to engage first in a bit of diplomacy. He finds it irksome, as ripples of their time as drow echo now- the female doesn't deign to act, allowing her males to fight while she looks on...

Lief tags red nicely, even through cover. Allarnon bursts open the doors. Dimitrio delays until after Allarnon and enters behind him rushing up the stair and slicing into a drow, whom he barely crits! Ederin delays for the opening of the door, then rushes in and tags red, hard. Kaylayne moves in and examines Haiten.

Ederin’s critical…
confirmation: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (17) + 25 = 42 damage: 4d6 + 10 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 5) + 10 = 21

The drow look to face this new menace, even as they face the genie. They don’t look pleased at the intrusion.

Blue and Red close with Lief (double moves).

Orange and Purple concentrate on Haiten.
Orange Rapier: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Orange Rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Green closes with Dimitrio as well.

Pink Dagger: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Haiten Bhaq hears Kaylayne speak, and looks confused. On seeing you rush the drow however, she calls out, ”Uplanders! Amddiffyn fi rhag gythreuliaid elven hyn a bydd yn cael eu gwobrwyo yn gyfiawn!”

She takes out a wand and disappears, reappearing on the ground, further from the drow!

Now up - everyone!

Somehow missed that crit! Per my feat red must make a dc 23 Fort save or be staggered for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 rounds. Will have a combat post up soon, on my way home from work right now.

Red Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

He's fine... well, not fine but not staggered at least. I doubt he'll last the round though. :)

"Oy! Hold up, somethin' ain't right about this." Ederin turns toward the genie and studies her as best he can, trying to tell if she's truly on their side.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36

Taking a quick mental note Allarnon's claws grow twice their size and he bursts right past Haiten Bhaq. Using his newly sharpened claws Allarnon digs into the wall and quickly climbs it to cut the drow off. Once at the top he screams out in rage. Spittle and the heat from his mouth whoosh the drow's white hair back as Allarnon flies into a rage directly in front of it.

Spider Climb then move; provoking Orange.

"Tarkir! ATTACK!" Allarnon points towards Lief and Tarkir bounds in to help the talkative little man.

Tarkir Bite; PA vs Blue: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 2 - 2 = 30
Damage: 1d6 + 7 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 + 4 = 16

The bard gets into rhythm, "What only two of you? I was expecting more of a challenge. I need to stretch out my muscles."

But he halts his attacks once he hears Ederin, "What's up, Shorty? Do we press the attack or not?"

-------------
free action to speak, waiting on response...

"She's lyin', I ain't sure what she's sayin' but I know she's lyin'! Lief, you pickin' up on this?"

He takes a single step behind Lief, and though he keeps his focus on Haiten ranger's focus, he fires at the drow surrounding Allarnon and Dimitrio, in case they need their melee elsewhere in a hurry.

Lief watches his bolt strike Red painfully, and he feels confident the drow will last very little time against their proven lethality. As Red and Blue bear down on them, the young man gives little thought to the genie's disposition, but his mind processes Ederin's qualms efficiently enough.

"Drow, Ederin. Focus." Eliminate the known variables first, then we can concentrate on the shaitan, without distraction.

Lief finally draws his blade, and tries to decrease the drow siege by one, stabbing once.

+4 Rapier: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 damage

Although not explicitly instructed to attack, it was what Shorty and Lief were doing so Dimitrio followed through with his blade.

"Oy! Hold up, somethin' ain't right about this."

Kaylayne's head swivels to focus on Ederin, her feet floating well up.

"Are you serious?"

Round 2, Init 9

Kaylayne flies back from the genie, going to support Allarnon. Fly 5' above Allarnon.

After Allarnon's attack, she reaches out to the Other Kaylayne seeing if her other self will move Allarnon through time and space.

Moving Alla down next to the genie, out of flank.

Haste: 3/13. +1 to AC/Reflex/yadayada +1 attx

Ederin opens up finishing Pink and dropping Purple with a critical! Lief connects with the injured Red I suppose, and drops him. Allarnon leaps in position, drawing an AoO from Orange while Tarkir slams into Blue. Dimitrio must move to close with his opponent (up stairs) and so only gets one attack - which does connects. Kaylayne rips Allarnon from space and places him in a new location, to better defend the party.

AoO Orange Rapier on Allarnon: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

The drow are persistent and press what little advantage they have.

Blue presses Lief even as he watches Red drop.

Orange draws his hand crossbow and takes a shot at Kaylayne above him.
Orange Crossbow: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 DC 15 Fort or Unconscious

Haiten Bhaq smiles and shrugs, ”I told her it wouldn’t work.” The beautiful genie casts a spell* and everyone excepting Tarkir must make a Will DC 26 or be held in place as if you were paralyzed… because you are.

Spellcraft v DC 22: 1d20 + 13 + 1d8 ⇒ (3) + 13 + (3) = 19 1d8 ⇒ 3

Though he's unable to understand the exact magic leveled against him, he surmises its offensive nature, so slips through Ederin's space to enter flank with Allarnon, leaving behind Blue. Swift Study- 'Haiten'

+4 Rapier, Studied, Flank: 1d20 + 16 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 16 + 6 + 2 = 28 for 1d6 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 6 = 16 damage

Lastly, should Lief find his rapier buried in something substantial in 'Haiten's side, he lets the spell stored within the weapon come to light. Cast Blindness, Will Save DC 25
