Nidhi doesn't manage to reset the trap on her first try, but she doesn't trigger it either. On the second attempt, she hears a series of loud clicks. Tentatively checking the floor, she finds it solid and safe for foot traffic.
Zilchus, schooled in library secrets from the last delve, dutifully searches the hall for secrets but finds none.
Benedictus searches the northern hallway, and discovers a small niche where the clockwork soldier clearly stood, but little else in the thick dust.
Nidhi Aashirya |
Nidhi triumphantly stands up. "No more pesky floor traps for us!" Nidhi looks to her left. She looks to her right, "guys? Guys, don't leave me! It's too dark in here!" She hurries to catch up with one of the tankier party members, making sure she's standing behind one of them.
Nidhi lifts her Everburning Torch for light as she peers around Zilchus' big frame. See map. "What about that other construct-thing? Are you sure it won't animate and chase after us," Nidhi asks to no one in particular. She gestures in the direction of the yellow statuesque form,
Perception (traps, giant insects, 1,000-year-old jars of honey): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
GM Euan |
Zilchus thinks he hears the dust settle more heavily to the south than in the hallway, but he's pretty sure there's nothing moving nearby. Other than Nidhi of course who jangles up with her jewelry clanking a little.
With Nidhi's light flickering, to the south the pair see what looks to be another open room, though what it contains remains a mystery until investigated...
Sopdet-Ka "Stelle" |
Survival: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 Any tracks in the thick dust?
"Oh, Hi Florence! she whispers. "Look everyone, Florence took a shortcut!"
Stelle moves with Zilchus and Nidhi and will continue into the south room looking about cautiously.
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
GM Euan |
Stelle finds no tracks in the dust. Long racks of dusty papyrus scrolls line the walls of this semi triangular chamber. As the lights shine on the interior, three strange looking creatures begin to flare to life! Four bandy limbs, each splitting at the elbow into two three-fingered forearms, emerge from this medium creature's crystalline body. It looks a little humanoid, and a little spidery.
Just before they leap into action, you each get glimpses of burning books and scrolls flashing through your minds… they seek to destroy what you have learned - what a strange defense for a library!

Ben makes his way toward the group. If he hears a scream or something; otherwise he will keep calling the others, somehow convinced that they have followed him.
GM Euan |
Benedictus on hearing something metallic moving around the corridors, moves back to the party.
Fate Drain (Su) A theletos possesses a pair of flexible crystalline tentacles with which it can drain a creature's sense of fate and destiny. Whenever it strikes a foe with these tentacles, the creature struck must make a DC 17 Will save or take 1d4 points of Charisma damage. Until a creature's Charisma damage from this ability is healed, the victim takes a –2 penalty on all saving throws (regardless of the actual total amount of Charisma damage it takes). The save DC is Constitution-based.
Wreath of Fate (Su) As a full-round-action every 1d4 rounds, a theletos can release a 60-foot cone of energy from its chest. Any intelligent creature struck by this cone must make a DC 15 Will save or become nearly overwhelmed with the knowledge of various fates that destiny has in store for him—there is no way to make sense of these myriad dooms and boons, and as a result, the victim is staggered. As long as this condition persists, the victim may choose to make two rolls when attempting an attack roll, a saving throw, or a skill check—he must accept the worse of the two rolls, but in so doing the wreath of fate passes from his soul and he is no longer staggered by this ability. Wreath of fate is a curse effect, and as such can be affected by remove curse or break enchantment—the effective caster level of this curse is equal to the theletos's HD (CL 9th in most cases). The save DC is Charisma-based.

The creatures move in a weird sort of scrambling motion, with arms and tentacles flailing about as they close on Stelle. They seem to ignore Annie for now, and concentrate on the rider.

Nidhi pulls her arms tight to her chest, trying to take up as little space as possible. Nidhi moves behind Florence in an attempt to "hide" from the creatures. Move Action: Hide behind Flo, lol
As Stelle starts fighting back against insect-like creatures, Nidhi looks like she wants to flee. Instead, Nidhi begins to sing again, inspiring the party.

Ben keeps moving down the corridor. When he hears Florence calls his name, he starts to run, arriving on the intersection where is companions are fighting in a few seconds, his breath short. “I…Wow. I didn’t know you knew them Flo…Good, I'm not going to use my fire spells, thanks!,” he manages to say while catching his breath. “Stay away from their tentacles guys. Their mastery over fate and destiny is well renowned, and that makes them dangerous…But they are not naturally inclined to evil, I don’t understand why they are attacking us!”
Florence Corvina |
"Probably because we're not supposed to be here!" Florence calls back in reply. "But...thanks. I learn a lot from watching you," she grins.
GM Euan |
Zilchus protects himself and moves into position. Nidhi overcomes the panic and helps prepare the party for battle. Florence tries screaming at one, but it shrugs it off. Stelle misses bashing one, but bursts through their line and into the library. Benedictus, breathing heavily, joins the party... and issues a warning.
Red closes with Stelle, charging.
red slam on Stelle: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 2 = 24 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Zilchus calls on aid from above, but little trickles down as he makes two great swings in the air. Nidhi connects with one of the creatures doing a little damage to it. Florence screams at blue, doing a little damage. Stelle charges in and slams into green, nearly splitting it in two… nearly. Benedictus tries an ear piercing scream of his own and a little damage trickles into green.
As the opposition prepares their assault, you see the wounds on green and blue close over a little as they begin to heal!
Red charges up on Stelle, trying again to damage her.

Green, hanging by a thread, digs in and tries to down Zilchus with blow upon blow as the arms and tentacles writhe over Zilchus’ form in a spidery sort of bug like crawl. It also moves closer to flank (5' scamper).

Blue concentrates a moment and it’s chest glows, releasing energy in a cone outward to the party! Zilchus, Florence, Nidhi, Benedictus, and Ptolomy must make DC 15 Will saves or become nearly overwhelmed with the knowledge of various fates that destiny has in store for them - there is no way to make sense of these myriad dooms and boons, and as a result, the victim is staggered. As long as this condition persists (you don’t know how long but at least the combat), the victim may choose to make two rolls when attempting an attack roll, a saving throw, or a skill check - they must accept the worse of the two rolls, but in so doing the wreath of fate passes from their soul and they are no longer staggered by this ability.

Nidhi has what she can only describe as a "religious experience" as she continues to sing, inspiring the party. She is nearly overwhelmed with the knowledge of various fates that destiny has in store for the party. "Pharasma has gifted me with true sight!" Nidhi flinches, "arg, no. It's too much."
Nidhi instructs to Ben and Florence, "don't be scared. We've been chosen!" Crazy-eyed, Nidhi casts Remove Fear on Ben and Florence.

Experiencing the visions generated by the aeons for Ben is quite different from his short-ranged and almost immediate form of prescience. In fact, in this very moment the scholar realizes that there are boundaries in knowledge that are perhaps best left not trespassed...
This...This must be only a small part of what Nethys experienced when he reached the culmination of knowledge...
Trying to fight off the effects of the curse, Ben actives his staff of minor arcana to cast magic missile on the aeon in front of Zilchus.

Sadly it misses its target and lands melting on the far side. Stelle can’t seem to land a blow with her lance, though Anubis does better, gnawing on one a little. Benedictus fires a few magic missiles at the closest target.
Though you see their injuries heal a little, green remains down, its breathing ragged.
Red charges up on Stelle, trying to continue chipping away at her.
red slam on Stelle: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 2 = 22 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Blue presses its attacks on Zilchus
blue slam on Zilchus: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
blue slam on Zilchus: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21 damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
blue tentacle on Zilchus: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 Will DC 17 or take Cha damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1*
blue tentacle on Zilchus: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 Will DC 17 or take Cha damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1*
Lady Desna shines her face upon the party and the opposition does little.

Prof. Benedictus Dickens |
"Don't waste your spells on them, they seem to be resistant to it!"
After a very long time, Ben decides to dust off his old good crossbow. For the moment, he draws it and instead of loading it, starts using his prescience to anticipate the enemies' reactions and describe them to his friends, so that they can adjust their tactics accordingly.
As before, using foretell: all my allies get a +2 luck bonus on ability checks, attack rolls, caster level checks, saving throws, and skill checks.

Florence Corvina |
Round 4, Initiative 18
Finding herself in agreement with Ben, Florence continues to hold her ground behind the melee and calls out a bit of encouragement to Stelle.
"Go Stelle! You can do it! Don't let these ugly bugs get you down!"
________
Florence bestows Stelle with some good Fortune :)
GM Euan |
Zilchus brings down two mighty swings on blue, but it angrily resists destruction. Nidhi DMPC attacks Red, hoping to begin chipping away at it. Florence grants Stelle a bit of Fortune. Stelle swoops in and simply crushes blue - pinning it to the floor and killing it utterly. Benedictus grants a bit of foreknowledge with the party for next round.
Nidhi on red: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18 damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
They enemy, mostly, continues to heal. Green seems to shudder a bit, but remains down.
Red charges up on Stelle, trying to continue chipping away at her.

Florence Corvina |
Round 5, Initiative 18
For lack of better ideas, Florence also pulls out her crossbow and takes aim at Red. "Hold...hold stillllll...."
Attack vs. Red (Light Crossbow; Foretell, Good Hope, IC, Into Melee): 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 20
