Khamul moves up and attempts to start a fire under the man.
DC16
Then Corb tries to extinguish any fire with his greatsword. The blade cuts deep, and the last Doomknight drops to the ground.
"Rovagug, avenge me!"
|
Eadie stands over the fallen agent of Chaos and *sighs* “If only he’d used his smiting for niceness, instead of evil.”
She then *claps* her hands and rubs them together. “OK. I guess it’s time to Pathfinder the bodies. Finding some healing tinctures would be most welcome.”
“Khamul!” Eadie’s tone would not be out of place if it had rung out from upstairs in a Chelish manor house. “Have you attended to the garden yet? The lawn’s still got brown patches in it.”

Corb leaves rage, making his way back to the elevator with the prisoners.
After taking the twelve seconds to recover, and hefting as many ex-prisoners as possible, he explains his movement.

As Corb rests and Khamul freezes the brown moldy growth
(assuming nobody wants to go and hug the south wall).
The rest of you can search the large chamber.
Most of the contents are burnt bedrolls and spare clothing. To the east
you see where the miners followed a vein of ore deeper in the chamber,
leaving a wide pit to the north. To the east, steep rail tracks
guide the mine carts, and the west tunnel leads to the
Doomsday Knights’ camp (where you are).
Each of the Doomknights carries
+1 Breastplate, +1 Dwarven Waraxe and 1 vial of antitoxin
Partly under a pile of burnt blankets, Eadie finds the remains of an iron box.
There are slightly melted coins=924 gp
Ok, here is where it gets tricky. The iron box has 10 hardness and 10hp. The mod specifically says any harsh handling will destroy the bottles/scrolls in a (no-longer) hidden compartment.
The fireball did 56hp/2 (object) and therefore 18hp damage, destroying the box.
Inside were potions and scrolls, which I believe the 8hp of remaining damage would destroy as well. So, one of you experts let me know if I am miscalculating. But I think all you can recover are the gold coins.
There is a tunnel heading deeper into the mine to the southwest the prisoners stated lead to the Doomknight leader.

Note that Corb is heading up with the prisoners if they're going, in case the Bug Thing comes back. He won't be leaving with them quite yet, but just in case it's waiting around to ambush nearly dead merchants... Will wand myself to full in the process, if allowed.
... Apparently EXACTLY to full. Nice.

sorry about the treasure guys
Ha, no worries; PFS is the BEST place to wreck treasure, since we still get the wealth for finishing the encounter. At most, we lose a free scribing if we can't mend them.

Eadie sticks an index finger in one of the Doomers’ potions, extracts her digit and puts it in her mouth
She smiles. “Oooh. Cranberry flavor!”
The warrior points out the four vials of antitoxin, before drinking one of the four CMW potions.
“Might pay for anyone approaching the front line to drink an antitoxin before we hit the Day Knights’ leader and his monstrous pet. I drank mine in the horse stables.”
“So do we want to hit the leader now in the south-west and then see what’s back to the east?”
The tunnel leading from area B gradually descends over
the course of another 500 feet, occasionally branching
out into short side passages and broader chambers.
You find yourselves squeezing through the occasional tight
spot, peeking down dead ends, and reaching a larger cave area
after about 5 minutes.
Greenish filaments crisscross this flooded chamber, whose
pools of murky water release strange, foul-smelling fumes.
Large boulders protrude from the water, many covered in
profane markings and bloodstains.

Once she feels the heat start to build up again, Eadie is wise enough to stop and ask Lore, “Can you please tap me and anyone else who wants it with my endure elements wand, Lore?”
Once they reach the underground grotto, Eadie waves her spiked gauntlet rapidly under her nose. “PHEW!! It smells worse than Open Day at an Otyugh resort-spa in here!”

"Eadie, I can save a couple charges on your wand." Arovandeon offers as the group looks over the scorched remains. He then mixes up an extract to help endure the heat, drinks it, and uses his boro bead to restore it so that another might benefit from his alchemy as well.
When the group arrives in the new cave, Arovandeon observes the green filaments and notes the aroma. "Well at least with our preparations against the heat this place only offends one of the senses. Before we rush through, let me take a few notes and examine these filaments."
As you descend into the depths of the mines, the air becomes even more caustic, with the stench of sulfur and the heat becomes unbearably hot (for those without endure elements, fort saves again needed).
Kn:Dungeon/Nature:You notice the water ahead
does not appear to support life. The fumes wafting
from the water are very strong. The
air is painfully hot. The rocks here
are slick and rise about 5 feet out of the water, requiring a
successful climb check to clamber over.
The filaments appear to be some sort of webbing but dripping with green liquid...perhaps from the water?
|
|
"There is something foul with the water here. I suspect it is toxic. If you notice, nothing is growing around it. A moment before we continue..."
Arovandeon casts a simple spell to detect poison on the green liquid dripping from the filaments.
|
|
Eadie clambers over the rocks avoiding the green filaments. “Don’t like the look of them much.”
She scans her surroundings for traps and threats calling back to the others. “Mind the rocks – they’re very slippery if you want to scramble over them.”
Eadie *coughs* as she grips her enchanted blade. “I swear the fumes and heat are getting worse. *splutter* I’ve taken my personal antitoxin, the four vials we took from the Day Knights remain. I recommend they get used now.”

Corb accepts the alchemical aid vs Hot Air. To avoid being poisoned, Corb will hold his breath (in the hours duration.)

As Corbalias attempts to climb up on the slippery rock, rounding the corner, he briefly sees into the large chamber before he slips
He also spots a scarred, man standing on a rock in the center of the cavern. He is garbed in breastplate and cloak similar to the 4 doom knights from above.
A familiar (pun intended) spidery/batlike creature hovers above him.
"Ah, I see our visitors have arrived....just in time for the sacrifices to the mighty Rovagug!
Enter and witness the awesome power and destruction!"
As he starts his soliloquy, his voice has a mesmerizing quality (some would say enthralling quality)

You hear a splash into the water as Corbalias slips off a rock.
You also see a swarm of spiders come around from the southern edge of the now splashing water.
The water is toxic, and exposure to it deals
1 point of acid damage each round unless a creature is
completely immersed, in which case the creature takes
1d6 points of acid damage per round.

Eadie frowns as she watches the homunculus buzzing about. Now where have I seen that thing before?
“Corb!” Eadie lifts a palm to the right side of her mouth as she calls down to the mighty mauler. “Quit clowning, there’s work to do!”
"Enter and witness my awesome power and your destruction!"
The warrior plants her feet shoulder-width apart, drops her falchion onto her left shoulder and raises her visor, revealing features set in a mask as stern as any of Abadar’s golden knights. Eadie dramatically raises her right arm, pointing her index finger at the party’s nemesis as her reply to the Blackguard’s challenge rings out through the chamber.
“Uh uh.”
Eadie double-moves 60’ and waves a friendly hand at the Doomer boss.

Corb is unhappy with the results of his climb! He gets angry because of it and tries again, pending the singing didn't get to him...
... Thank Gorum the spiders will be Hostile, most likely and allow glorious combat...
His face sizzles a little, burning away some of his patchwork tangle of body hair.

Eadie clambers over some slick rocks to get closer to the cult leader.
Jonterra, chanting in Terran, calls down the blessings of Irori on the group.
Corbalias struggles in the water, which burns him for
Khamul is enthralled by the man's knowledge of doctrine and stands idly, listening to the speech.
Directing his attention to Eadie...
"I see we have our first volunteer for the sacrifice.
Do not worry, Rovagug needs many sacrifices, so you will each have your turn!"
He points and casts a spell and Eadie starts to feel her body go rigid.
He then swiftly casts another spell that appears to make his body shimmer for a moment.
Lore joins Eadie on the rocks as Eadie fights off the mind control of her body.
Arovandeon spots the mound of moving spiders heading towards the party and lobs a bomb that takes out the swarming vermin.
From the center of the pool, under the webs, a This obscene mass looks like a melted blob crossed with a spider, ceaselessly lashing out with its hairy, wriggling legs.
