"What the...?" Alexia stares at the paintings, perplexed. "Wait! Why Quickfall Abbey?"
Ryster Demarkarios |
Ryster rolls his eyes and shakes his bushy head. Can't ya's see it? The third paintin' with the derras' smashing stuff again't the wall? That's Quickfall Abbey if I ain't a dwarf!
Alexia Whitemane |
"If you say so, then Quickfall Abbey it is," ALexis shakes her head, still not seeing it.
Sen Tarlpan |
"Seriously, though, you're going to guess where we're supposed to go because a crazy guy made a painting that looks like the same place." Sen waves off the imminent anger. "Just 'cause you're a dwarf, doesn't mean you know everything about rocks and rock stuff. That'd just be racist to assume." Sen gains the grin from his attempt to gamble with Rhyno those weeks ago.

”Nobody knows!” he shouts excitedly.
”Nobody except the engineers! The engineers from the guild – the Hall of Wonders – they have blueprints of everything in Cassomir. “
The mad man slows down in a brief moment of lucidity, ”Darlio said he was going to take them from the engineers. He said they know too much.”
Ryster Demarkarios |
Anybody know where to find this Hall o' Wonders?
KN: engineering? (don't have local): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Sen Tarlpan |
kn(l) : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Sen Tarlpan |
"Yeah, it's out by the front gates, near that one blonde's house."

Half an hour later, Sen gets the party arrives to their destination.
Smoke and steam pour through many openings of this misshapen building. Gears and gizmos can be heard clicking against one another in a rhythmic cadence. A loud “chunkchunk” sounds as several pistons churn up and down, powering some unknown machine. A cacophonous symphony of grinding metal plays on. An enormous sign, nearly the entire width of the building, declares it to be the Hall of Wonders.
Everyone can make a perception check.
Rhyno Steelarm |
Perc: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
The chaotic noise makes it difficult to know when to stop walking, so Rhyno turns back to the group yelling loudly, Are we there yet?
Sen Tarlpan |
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Ryster Demarkarios |
Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
This looks like my kinda place. Can't believe I hadn't heard of it.
Sen Tarlpan |
"Ugh, yeah; sounds somebody's burglin' somethin' in there..." Sen states, entering with no extra speed, beyond ignoring any "do not enter" signs.
DM Feral |
Rhyno opens the front door.
Inside the Hall of Wonders, the party can see the outlines of three great structures piercing a thick mist that chokes nearly the entire western half of the building. A brass planetarium rotates in the northeastern corner. Next to the celestial model, a clockwork contraption ticks and tocks as it turns on its axis. Finally, a giant metal crab sits with its claws extended on a southwestern platform. A hatch at one end of the crab provides an entrance into a barrel-like chamber.
Rhyno Steelarm |
Rhyno steps in and seems dumbfounded over the oddities found inside. "What the... be that a crab? Is that supposed ta be Golarion?" He then looks to Ryster, as giving his flame shooting machine, he would probably have the best answers.
Ryster Demarkarios |
I don't have the faintest, but I want one! Ryster says to no one in general.
KN: engineering: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Sen Tarlpan |
Sen will be trying to use his his allies and the fog as a distraction to hide while advancing.
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
DM Feral |
Rhyno exits the mist to spot a bunch of thugs beating a female gnome in scholar’s robes.
”Start talkin’ smallstuff”, one growls.
Alexia: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Chorister: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Rhyno: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Rhyster: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Sen: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Boss: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7
Mooks: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17
Alexia, Rhyno, and Sen are up. I’ll update the map in a bit.
Rhyno Steelarm |
Lets be honest, a map doesn't matter for a guy names Rhyno...
Rhyno, seeing the gnome in trouble charges forward at the closest foe, bringing his lucerne hammer down with a massive crunch.
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 141d12 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Reminder, Rhyno has reach now. Feral can roll the AoO if it happens.
Sen Tarlpan |
If there's nobody nearby with no concealment or a viable target within 30 feet, Sen will be moving forward stealthily. Half speed, keeping behind stuff from the voices, etc. etc.
As much as I liked my 26, if you want a new stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Alexia Whitemane |
Alexia sighs. "Nothing like a fair fight, eh, boys?" With that, she takes a handful of sand and, letting it slip through her fingers, casts a sleep on the thugs (and the gnome, unfortunately). The DC is 15.
DM Feral |
Rhyno’s hammer smashes into one of the ill-prepared thugs to the shock of all three. The man’s ribs are pulverized but the blow but he stays on his feet, powered by will alone. The bloodied gnome looks up with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
He’s ferocitying.
Sen successfully moves behind the displays all ninja-like.
Alexia your spell will finish next round.
A woman appears on the catwalk overhead. She bears a striking resemblance to the woman encountered on the slave ship months ago…
The catwalk is 10 feet up.
”Who are these fools? Bah, it doesn’t matter. Kill them!” she screams over the noise of the clockwork machinery.
She retrieves a familiar holy symbol from beneath her blouse and summons a pulse of negative energy.
Channel vs Everyone: 1d6 ⇒ 1
No will save since it’s 1 damage damage regardless.
The thugs forget the gnome for a time and close on Rhyno. Better prepared now, the lanky ulfen’s hammer bounces off of the thug’s armor as they close.
Vs Rhyno: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Vs Rhyno: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Vs Rhyno: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
After clubbing the ulfen soundly across the jaw, the injured thug succumbs to his wounds.
Ryster and Chorister are up, followed by Alexia’s spell (assuming she makes the concentration check), followed by the rest of the party. I’m a bit busy this afternoon so I don’t have time to fiddle with the map. I don’t think it’ll matter much.
Ryster Demarkarios |
Ryster tries to move within thirty feet of the woman and fires his musket.
RTA PBS: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8
Damage: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
He curses as his guns jams.
Chorister Burr |
Chorister had been silently communing in order to bless the group, but Rhyno's injured state quickly changed the clerics mind. Stepping up to the larger man Chorister swaps protection from evil for a healing spell and bestows it upon Rhyno.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Oh brother
Alexia Whitemane |
Alexia shouts to the woman, "Come down and face us, wretch, unless you fear that what happened last time will happen again!"
Alexia Whitemane |
Alexia returns the sentiment with a Bigby's singular expressive digit.
