Talking lizards! Wait, I know these creatures... Jian Sheng tries to recall what she has studied about native elemental creatures while trying to understand what they said "I'm sorry, I don't speak Auran. What did you just say?" Jian Sheng also repeats what she said in Ignan as well just in case the creatures understand it
|
The lizard is known as a elementally infused shocker lizard, one that is native to the planes of air and fire.
The Lizards give a frustrated look, but in the end, after Jian Sheng repeats herself in Ignan, they do too. "Usted debe ser los patrulleros, debe salir de inmediato de Armun Kelisk. Sus actividades no son bienvenidas aquí."

Korez understands Auran and responds in that language, translating his words and any response in Auran to the rest of the group.

The colour affect the lizard in no way, likely because the lizards were out drinking heavily prior to this, invoking them with a sound mind.
The lizards move forward together slightly on the narrow alley and release a steam burst. They combine their powers and accumulatively create a large steam burst 20ft, everyone is engulfed in their steam attack. The steam additionally affects everyones vision.

Xavian moves quick ahead of the rest in attempt to take down the lizard, his first move was too fast but learning from it he makes an effective second jab.
Glorin, tired of all this, swings his weapon with great strength and rage, killing the creature that Xavian stabbed with a single blow.

The lizards have two special abilities, one of which you have just observed, unleashing superheated steam. Another one is unleashing lightning, in addition to can feel any static discharge within 100ft. However both their special attacks drain energy from they which requires them to recharge. They are immune to electrical and fire attacks.
Korez moves Yliss magically behind the lizard. While both Yliss and Jian Sheng prepare themselves for the fight. Inira fires a couple arrows that goes to waste.
Seeing an enemy suddenly within range, the lizard decides to bite him. However Yliss has his lucky stars to thank as his newly formed arcane shield knocks right into the lizard's teeth. The lizard decides to hastily get out of possible threat range, and to everyone's surprise starts flying without wings, directly upwards.

Yliss scores a brutal blow to the fleeing lizard, breaking one of its legs badly enough to push several inches of bone out through the skin. Then having lost track of the beast, Yliss draws a scroll and tries to read it.

Searching the possession of the lizard, you find on them a plain pouch. Inside the pouch are two gems and a lantern .
Fire elemental gem.
Air elemental gem.
Keylight lantern: A keylight lantern is wreathed with elemental runes. When lit, it gives off light as per a typical lantern, but the shifting flame gives its user a +2 competence bonus on Perception checks to find secret doors. In addition, once per day, the lantern’s bearer can fling the oil as a splash weapon that functions as a flask of acid, except that its damage type is random among acid, cold, electricity, and fire. Each keylight lantern has an indentation where an elemental gem could fit. If an elemental gem is slotted in the lantern, the damage type is fixed based on the gem’s element—acid for an earth gem, cold for a water gem, electricity for an air gem, and fire for a fire gem. The lantern’s bearer may choose to expend the elemental gem to infuse the oil with its energy. If she does so, the next time she throws the oil, it functions as per fireball, centered on the square (10d6 damage, Reflex DC 14 half) instead of as an acid flask. The damage type of the fireball matches the damage type associated with the elemental gem.
Information gleaned at the Gala leads the Pathfinder to the Cloisters of the Hidden Breeze—a small monastery in the Godsward dedicated to Pulura, the empyreal lord of constellations and homesickness. The Cloisters are open to visiting pilgrims and curious travelers alike. The founding missionaries of this humble temple built it as a refuge for the lonely, the homesick, and the lost. The cloisters is a very plain stone building.
The missionaries of the Cloisters are mostly comprised of Azatas. One of them, dressed in a plain grey robe, greets you and introduces himself as Yogun. "Please, feel free to peruse this cloister. The only condition we have for visitors are that you keep quiet and not take anything from the grounds."
Based on your knowledge of the followers of Pulura, the cloister will likely have many chambers. The chamber you believe has the right information is one furnished with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and several desks.

Jian Sheng uses her own wand to heal herself after the lizards are downed.
Going through the pouch, Jian Sheng is able to detect magical energies about the gems, but is unable to further identify them. However, her eyes widen at the lantern. "A keylight lantern! This is rare indeed." She shares what she knows about its magical properties with the group. "I believe that these gems here are meant to be used with this lantern. I shall hold on to this...it might come in handy in the near future."
Jian Sheng bows at the Azata "Greetings Yogun. We are seeking for knowledge of the Untouchable Opal. A fellow material plane traveller may have passed this way as well. Would you be able to help us locate either of this?" Jian Sheng proceeds to describe Jamila.

One of the gem is Red and another white.
"Untouchable Opal? I'm sorry, I have not heard of such a item. Oh, you must speak of Jamila? Yes, she visits fairly often, but alas, I do not believe she is present today." Attempting to press on further about Jamila yields no result as they missionaries pride themselves upon respecting their guests’ privacy.
As you wander around the cloister, You find the library that
Korez describes. However you don't find any books in relation to the elemental lords or the Untouchable Opal. The place is scarcely visited this time of the day, and you seem to be the only visitors at this moment.
The western wall has a secret door. The door opens into a 10-footdiameter antechamber with another door and an empty copper hook on the wall next to it. The door is locked. The wall above the locked door is carved some words.
Concordance members only past this point.

Xavian checks the door for traps and finds nothing peculiar about it but struggles to open the door. Inira decides to step in after a while and does the job.
A winding downward staircase empties into the center of a chamber with four circular alcoves. Each of these alcoves glows with a different colored translucent barrier: red, green, blue, and white. With the exception of the alcove behind the white barrier, a variety of items are on display beyond the barriers. Among these curiosities are books, scrolls, figurines, urns, and tapestries. The alcove behind the white barrier, however, is mostly blocked by rubble, as if it had been ransacked in the past. Four round gemstones sparkle atop a stone altar along one of the chamber’s walls. The garnet contains a small flame; the opal contains a miniature cyclone; the pearl is filled with sloshing water; and the diamond has several visible gray rocks inside of it.
Next to each barrier, a small slot is observed with words written in elemental languages.
Wet the sky
Fan the Flame
Spark the Earth
Fill the sea

As you insert the gems into the corresponding barriers, the barriers completely disappears. You take some time to search through the alcoves of the chamber. It is filled with many books, too many that you are overwhelmend.
Buried with the books under the ruble, you notice a sigil of Ranginori on one of the Tome. It is written completely in Auran.
If someone passes the above check, then you may only refer to the Auran spoiler below.
a page in the book referencing another tome called the Primordial Key of Ilyralene that details theories on how to free Ranginori from the Untouchable Opal. It lists the book’s last known whereabouts as the Cobalt Gallery of the Azure Hall.
In one of the other alcoves, a small chest is observed to have some magical items in it. In it lies a chain shirt and an elixer.
cloudburst +1 chain shirt
Elixer of forceful exhalation
