Dimitrio continues to manage the illusion by making the fake PCs run behind a shard. He then changes the image and makes other people appear and reach out towards the glyph.
He comments to his companions, "I can keep this up for a while, perhaps long enough for Lief to get close enough to the glyph and figure out how to deactivate it..."
Round 2, Init 13
Kaylayne moves up higher and closer and tries to engage the glyph.

Kaylayne examines the glyph (knowledge arcana).
A soothing purple light dances within the etched cracks of this sigil. Approaching it grants a feeling of warmth and healing, as though all troubles have been washed away.
Inflict spells, enervation, and energy drain, if targeted directly at the glyph, deactivate its ward for 1 round.
The glyph grants fast healing 10 to any drow or evil extraplanar beings within 100 feet. Further, it rejuvenates any of the other glyphs that may have been disabled or destroyed within 72 hours.
You'll need to touch this glyph to learn more.

Lief keeps pace with Kaylayne, wary of any ripple in space that might allow the Harvester easy return, and fresh assault. He whispers to his fellow flyer. "Careful..."
"The beast healed, from that... It's aligned to evil creatures. That's unfortunate. More importantly, this Glyph will restore the Fury Glyph within 72 hours, if it is not itself disabled."
"Can anyone see or hear the creature? We're sure to be attacked on approach... I suppose I can try again with the invisibility..."
Lief waits this time, for the Harvester is a much bigger concern than ropers...
Ederin, inspired to protect his friends from an ambush or more tentacles, clicks his heels and moves forward as far as he dares.
He keeps his steps silent as he creeps over the terrain, looking for the creature they need to put down.
|
"Can anyone see or hear the creature? We're sure to be attacked on approach"
"Kaylayne is near it now! That creature came out when someone touched it..."
Allarnon rushes in to protect Kaylayne near the Glyph. "Sounds like good thing we came to this Glyph early then." He moves in between the glyph and Kaylayne to better protect the group.
His throat growls as he grows angry and impatient at the invisible stalker.

Dimitrio maintains the illusion, changing it up a bit, in the hopes the creature remains fooled. Lief moves up and observes the glyph. Ederin creeps forward stealthily, making headway into the Palace. I’m assuming he did not pass through an archway, but if he did… Allarnon moves into position and protects himself further. Kaylayne moves up and observes the glyph.
You are convinced you saw eyes, or maybe just one eye repeated, for a moment as the light flickered in the spaces between the arches. Suddenly tentacles sprout from ground and air, reaching out for the party. They do not attack the illusions this time…
and
and
and
and
and
Ederin's tentacle seeks him, but does not appear, and the mighty Allarnon is missed. The tentacles writhe and seem to be pulling you in, but into what you do not know...
Dimitrio panicked when the massive tentacle picked him up and started to squeeze.
Knowing he would not be able to break free, he attempted to slice his way through.

Lief grimaces as he makes the connection between the crystals and easy access for the Harvester to grab at anything among them. He doesn't hesitate to make the Harvester aware of its thorny prey. For the healing ability of the Harvester and its environment, Lief also discharges his spell stored within the rapier.

As Ederin watches his friends grappled he forgets his stealth, and unloades on the tentacle nearest Allarnon, hoping if he and the bear can take that one down, they can team up to save the others.
As Ederin steps between the arches, his form quivers and wavers a moment - and disappears!
You need to make a Will save DC 20 or be dazed by the visage as your mind tries to make sense of what it sees. To speed things up, I'll go ahead and make it for you.
Congratulations! You're merely shaken, sort of, for the round (-4 to all d20 rolls).

He reappears seconds later a few feet to the side of his intended direction. Though he's disoriented he manages to get his shots off - hitting twice though in his current state he does not confirm as his hand shakes and there's a haunted look in his eye...
Dimitrio, worrying, attacks the tentacle holding him hoping to break the creatures grasp. He doesn’t get separation, but does manage a pair of hits. Lief connects with a mighty flare of fire, and though the creature seems resistant to the fire, plenty of damage is done. Ederin disappears for a moment and returns shaky but still manages an exceptional pair of hits. Allarnon connects twice and Tarkir once, though Tarkir seems to struggle against some sort of DR and does no damage to the tentacle. Kaylayne lays her hands on the tentacle and drains it of some of it’s mighty strength - though it does not let go.
A tentacle reaches out through the planes between the worlds and grasps at Ederin, even as the other ungrappled tentacle tries to grab Allarnon.
and
and
Alas, Ederin remains un-grappled!
The other tentacles squeeze their foes, trying to pin them tightly.
and you are pinned.
and you are pinned.
and you are pinned.
and you are pinned.
It seems frustrated that it can only grasp Tarkir firmly (I think I missed the rest of you). Tarkir begins to be pulled back as the tentacle slowly returns to the space from which it came.

Lief feels the constriction moments before its full increase, so manages to keep his sword arm free. Seeing Tarkir disabled in his pinning, the young man recognizes he's moments away from a similar fate. He hacks at his own, personal tentacle, hoping for literal release. He reapplies himself in examining the Harvester's anatomy, before laying out further strikes.
He feels all of the impotence in this last round of strikes, compared to his first volley. "I can't do any more damage here! It's already healing! Bleed it hard, one last time, and hope that it's enough!"
Dimitrio did the only thing he could do which was to give it his all. By Desna, he would cut through this tentacle so he slashed again and poked again.

Ederin, DMPC, attacks while he still remains un-grappled.
Dimitrio slashes away but the tentacle keeps him from dancing the way he wants, and he fails to land even a single slice. Lief hacks away at his tentacle and manages one mighty blow out of the lot. Ederin, GMPC, does some serious damage with his bow. Allarnon gets a scratch in, but cannot manage a bite - yet it’s enough. Kaylayne connects again, and manages to drain its strength even further!
The tentacles release their holds, though the one on Tarkir hesitates the longest, and withdraw into the space between the worlds. All is quiet for the time being as the mighty creature seems to have withdrawn from the battlefield. However, please remain in rounds.
Glad the tentacle let go of him, Dimitrio turned to Lief, "C'mon, time to do your stuff. Who knows how long this thing take to heal up and attack again..."
Dimitrio then looked around while he used the healing wand to remove the worst of his bruises.

Kaylayne rejoices in her freedom for mere moments before snapping out of her reverie with urgent demand.
"It's just gone out to heal! I'll be back! We need to act quickly!" Kaylayne cries, pointing to the glyph. "Lief, get to the glyph! The rest of you, prepare for another onslaught!"
Kaylayne flies down to heal the party (but not Ederin).

Lief waves to Kaylayne to join him at the Glyph. He reaches it, hoping it reaches out to him, as Fury did. If nothing is exchanged psychically, he physically touches the Glyph, beckoning it to reveal itself.
As Lief reaches out, a cackle of electricity suddenly charges and reaches back!
But he does make contact with the glyph.

Finally over the shock of what he saw, Ederin moves closer to Allarnon and the glyph and looks at his friends, eyes still wide, hands still shaking as he pulls a fruit from his sash.
"D-don't go beneath them archways, yeah? I....I ain't so sure what I seen, but it ain't anythin' good. We need ta 'andle this glyph and get out of 'ere as quick as we can." He keeps one hand on his bow and watches for more tentacles.
Lief takes the electrical hit, not expecting it, distracted as he looks back and forth among the crystals. Ederin's caution only lends to the paranoia of another tentacle grab...
"'And so spoke Abraxas: give unto me your faith, and I shall grant to you a cleansing unlike any you have witnessed or conceived.' This, this is not like the first Glyph, the Fury Glyph. Well, it still has the same resistances to all energy forms, and needs to be bludgeoned to see it properly destroyed... but... I cannot 'talk' to it, and calm it. It requires the artistry of healing, someone expert in the skill of healing. That is not me."
Lief is thorough in explaining what is required to deactivate the Glyph , and points out again that this Glyph is essential to see their work on the other Glyphs is not in vain, within the 72-hour window.
"So, which one of you wants to try your healing hand? I am woefully unprepared to tackle the Glyph this way. Otherwise, we should stand back a decent distance, and try to destroy the Glyph without finesse."
Lief's expression is one that supports the former option, not the latter.
"So, which one of you wants to try your healing hand? I am woefully unprepared to tackle the Glyph this way. Otherwise, we should stand back a decent distance, and try to destroy the Glyph without finesse."
Lief's expression is one that supports the former option, not the latter.
Dimitrio frowns, "Healing's not my thing either but I can bolster someone's skill at it by reciting a poem or something."
He asked Lief, "What about healing magic? We have plenty of that."
Lief looks back on Dimitrio much like someone trying and failing to revive a dead loved one. "No, sadly. This is seeking something more mundane, strangely enough. That it craves a sentient interaction in a similar vein to its healing boon on evil creatures, it almost feels like its seeking atonement outside of magic altogether. If we can't do this, we have no choice but to destroy it outright. Allarnon? Ederin? Can you demonstrate expert healing skill?"
If no one will step up to perform this odd engagement, Lief floats from the glyph an ample distance, and waits for the destruction to begin.
Dimitrio pulls a wand and heals a bit, urging Lief on. Lief approaches the glyph and lays his hands upon it, studying it and sparking a little lighting. Ederin closes in and eats a bit of fruit. Allarnon and Tarkir also close in with the glyph. Kaylayne also heals, almost everyone, a little.
Lief, you cannot close with the glyph to study it, and float away from it in the same round. I put you on the map 5’ up, next to the glyph where you were touching it.
While the party moves into position, there’s a shimmer at the glyph under the arch. It takes but a moment, and as you stand watching, none other than Allevrah Azrinae (image) appears!
She speaks in common, slowly but with a smile on her smooth black features, as if pleased she has a worthy adversary, ”I see, so you’re back to harass me further. I thought it might be you when the other glyph fell. No matter. You shall not succeed. You are too late!” she laughs.
Currently, to get to her, you’ll have to pass through the arch, which I’ll remind you Ederin says is bad. You can of course fly over or around.
Kaylayne shakes her head. "I doubt that I have the healing skill required. I am good, but this seems to require immense skill," Kaylayne replies, knowing that they need to find another way.

"I see, so you’re back to harass me further. I thought it might be you when the other glyph fell. No matter. You shall not succeed. You are too late!”
Lief starts, somewhat in disbelief that the drow general would show herself, let alone show up alone. He considers that the playing field is certainly tilted in her direction with the Glyph's healing power. He also considers that somehow, she's not as likely to be attacked, should the Harvester show up again.
"General Allevrah, please, a moment. We are not here to kill you, only to stop you from decimating Iadara. We saw Arlindil destroy Hialin, as he transformed before our eyes into drow." Lief sheathes his rapier.
"You were once elf. Some part of you must remember." Lief draws his hand rapier, quickly loading it with a drow poison bolt.
"Are you here to kill us for our folly? You could leave us be, as we struggle futilely to stop your plan, already too late. Why are you here?"
"A moment?" she laughs, "Take all the moments you wish. Time is on my side."
"We were all once elf. I have shed that skin and become the future. I shall kill you for your dance in the dark."
"I am here to destroy you." and she laughs, enjoying herself and this conflict. Supremely confident.
We're still in initiative.
Dimitrio prepares himself for a fight and starts reciting heroic poems for his companions to hear and bolster their martial prowess.
He also weaves some magic and his form begins to waver.

Ederin hears Lied trying to negotiate, and stops himself from firing his bow long enough to see if it work.
"Don't think this is working kid." He whispers as he draws back on the shoestring, arrows loaded.
When Kaylayne fires on the glyph Ederin takes a few shots at Allevrah.
Dimitrio begins to perform and casts blur to aid in his defense. Lief draws his weapon and readies a poisoned bolt. Ederin launches a volley of arrows through the gate and a strange thing happens. The arrows fly into the arch, and disappear! Some reappear flying through other arches, and arrows fly everywhere! Allarnon, not sure what to do, delays. Kaylayne’s ray hits the glyph and the glyph pulses more quietly for a round .
Allevrah steps back. With a word and a gesture, she fills the area with flame! The flames wend and weave, contort and twist, but there’s a line of fire running between and through the party and the region. Quite impressive.

DC 26 Reflex for half. If you fail, you are also on fire (full round action and DC 20 Reflex to put yourself out).
Reflex (heroism, haste)
Kaylayne burns even as she admires that the she has succeeded in slowing the glyph.

Seeing little other choice in the matter Allarnon dives through the portal. Not knowing what may happen as arrows fl in all directions. "Sorry guys! No other choice!" For all he knows he could be sacrificing his own life and burn to cinders.
The pair bite at Allevrah.
*****************************************************************
Fire erupts all around him as he does.
Tarkir nearly tumbles through the arch as Allarnon continues to smolder.The pair push their assault through the carnage at the drow leader.
"We can end this here and now!"

You need to make a Will save DC 20 or be dazed by the visage as your mind tries to make sense of what it sees. If you make the save, you're merely shaken, sort of, for the round (-4 to all d20 rolls).
Also, Allarnon, please make a will save vs illusion when you get a chance.

Sensing Allevrah's obvious aggression, Lief readies to duck something, anything. He reels as fire breaks out all around, but he still manages to contort enough to minimize the burn.
He moves, hoping to avoid clustering, while consuming a formula that will help him resist more of her castings.
He watches eagerly to see what damage, if any, Ederin can effect with his barrage.
Allarnon and Tarkir emerge from the other size of the archway, dazed and confused a moment (your first round attacks didn't happen as you were dazed, but your full attack actions did).
Round 7, Init 13
Kaylayne fires another ray at the glyph, then moves to avoid other area of effect spells.

Dimitrio is able to partially move out of the way of the flames and rushes to join the bearman in 'killing' the glyph with blows. The bard continued to recite his magical poems even as he moved with his augmented speed.
He stepped through the archway and was disoriented to say the least.

Ederin avoids most of the storm of fire, but what does hit him hurts and he looks for any opportunity to get to Allevrah without going back through the archway. As Allarnon, Tarkir and Dimitrio step beneath it he shakes his head.
Tried to warn ya, blokes, ain't like nothin' you've seen before 'neath that arch.
He takes off at full speed around the arch and looks for anyway to get past the structures to his foe.
The only way to get to your target is through an arch...
You could try going through the glyph, though that is in the arch.
Dimitrio soaks a little damage but avoids catching fire as he rushes to rejoin the party. The passage between the worlds throws him however, and he is dazed on the other side. Lief protects himself further, and tries to get out of the way of another spell. Ederin double moves, trying to find a way to get to Allevrah without going through an arch. Allarnon and Tarkir wade through the arch, and it hurst their sensibilities, but they recover and attempt to ravage Allevrah - but they fail to land a single blow on the dodging, heavily armored foe. Kaylayne hits the glyph solidly this time - and holds it in place.
Allevrah steps over, and provokes with her casting from Allarnon and Tarkir, seemingly unconcerned. She breathes, and Allarnon and Dimitrio find themselves in a miasma of horrible vapors. DC 25 Fort save (poison) or suffer Con damage - ,

She wipes the sides of her mouth, ”That’s my favorite spell actually, and I usually use it on the first round, but, well, you were so spread out I had to wait.” she shrugs, smiling.
The bard turned away and held his breath trying to minimize any intake of the foul vapors.
He then stepped up and swung at the dark elf with his rapier.
