C6

You go down the stairs and into a short hallway that turns to the left and opens up onto a dimly lit room. In each corner a brazier flickers with magical flames. The walls are decorated with complex frescoes of a crowd of people in a queue, waiting to talk to a blindfolded old man who stands twice as tall as everyone else. Various prophecies, represented by strips of parchment scribbled with words, erupt from the tall man’s gaping mouth and fly up to the sky and all over the landscape.

The door to the west is locked with a doomsday lock and hallways lead off to the north and east.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

He does speak Thassilonian, but can't make the DC 30.

Bibic admires the frescoes, "Nice wiseman." he looks down the hallways and suggests, "Let's check out all the halls before we go popping another doomsday door."

Spasi moves in to examine the religious iconography.

1d20 + 22 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 22 + 2 = 28 Know (Religion) vs. 25
1d20 + 22 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 22 + 2 = 37 Know (Religion) vs. 30

Spasi explains what he thinks he knows. See spoilers above.

"Ah yeah, more of Scroteus. That god sure got a bad shake, didn't he? Just wanted to destroy everything for no reason and all, and for that, the gods locked him away. Tsk tsk," Spasi deadpans. "However, they did seem to predict the death of Aroden, the dead god for humans though. That's interesting."

For a non-Pathfinder, Spasi is sure a good pathfinder about some things. Like knowing things, speaking dead languages, and liking to steal from tombs.

Spasi follows Bibic...to where, exactly?

Clement scratches his head as he puzzles out the meaning.

"So wait, these are ten thousand years old? So they predicted Aroden's death thousands of years before it happened?"

C7 first? Then C8?

"That's some foresight sure, but you gotta figure, with all the so-called seers out there, someone of them had to be right by mere chance, you know? So this guy could've been all-knowing, or he could've just been lucky."

Bibic will follow the others... C7 then C8 sounds like a fine plan.

C7

The plastered walls of this room are decorated with images of an endless series of exceptionally realistically painted torch-bearing pillars receding off into the horizon, giving the chamber the optical illusion of being far larger than it actually is. A flight of stairs descends to the north, the painting incorporating the stairwell in such a way as to make the stairs appear to descend into a particularly wide pillar. Entering the room it feels like you are staring into the infinite and a wave of vertigo washes over you.

Everyone make a DC15 will save or be staggered for 1d4 ⇒ 4 rounds

The room is otherwise empty, except for an ugly and misshapen boulder in the middle of the room.

Will DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Rhesus looks around the room and at the boulder, gripping his hammer tightly.

"Yeah, so, I bet that's alive right?"

Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 vs DC 15

Bibic enters the room, and it plays havoc with his long sight and he slows considerably. "Woah." he murmurs as he reaches for a pillar to guide himself...

1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 2 = 21 Will save

"Ow! My eyeballs! What is that?!" Spasi cries, trying to keep his vision from blurring. "Rhesus, my vision is blurry. Are you in the middle of the room or is that an ugly and misshapen boulder?"

Spasi waits to see what Rhesus finds.

Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Clement barely shakes off the unease the ebbs at his mind.

"We sure that's a boulder?"

He turns to Rhesus.

"Does it smash and break like a boulder?"

Rhesus looks back at the group while carefully noting the location of Spasi's head.

"I dunno, it looks like a boulder but it probably isn't. It's probably some rock golem or something. You don't look so good Bibic, you gonna make it?"

The PCs have enough dungeoneering experience to be suspicious of the obviously suspicious rock. Question is, what do you want to do about it?

Spasi folds his arms, waiting to see if Rhesus will smash the rock or just glare at it.

To help out, he will cast Detect Magic and examine auras at a distance.

Bibic does his best to try to get a hold of his situation. He keep trying to look to the distance and work his way back to reality.

"Yeah, I don't like that rock either. Give me a minute, and then smash it. I've almost got it."

He grabs a pillar and holds on for the ride.

@Spasi:It radiates transmutation magic.

"Careful there, Rhesus...there is something transmutative about that stone. You know, magical and s#$$. You should always check your who--, uh, your Calistrians for transmutative magics before you, you know...consumate your transaction...because sometimes transmutative magics cause old crones to seem young and vice versa, not that there is anything wrong with that...but you just want to be sure you know what you're doing in the dark before the crying, you know?" Spasi tries to explain to Rhesus, though he might as well be trying to explain magic to the boulder. "Sometimes things aren't what they seem, is the point."

Spasi tries to get a bead on the magics on the boulder.

1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36 Know (Arcana) - to know a spell already in effect

"Uh, sure Spasi, thanks for the advice."

Once Bibic is no longer disoriented Rhesus whacks the rock with his earthbreaker.

Clement pats Rhesus on the back as he heads towards the rock.

Shield of Faith. Replaces Rhesus's current +1 AC bonus from his ring with a +3 AC bonus for a net of +2.

@Spasi: It's Statue

As Rhesus nears, the stone loses its grey dullness taking on a more organic appearance and legs and arms unfurl from beneath it. A horribly misshapen crab-like monstrosity rises up before you.

The creature's terribly wrongness is an affront to your senses:

DC20 will save or be confused for 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds

I think it's safe to say no one on either side is surprised by this. development.

Moving faster than you expected, the creature unleashes on Rhesus:

Clement rubs his eyes and blinks a few times. For a moment he was tempted to stab at Rhesus, but he pushed it out of his head.

Realizing what's happening, Clement prepares for the worst.

Free action to drop his weapon so he's unarmed. He'll then use a move action to pull out his scroll of calm emotions and use it, especially if Rhesus ends up confusion. Since it's only CL3, it will buy us 3 rounds of no confusion. Sadly if he needs to use it on Rhesus, that will prevent raging and inspire courage too.

74 and 22 damage. Weapon does not bypass DR, even if I were raging.

The creature lets out a burbling scream of pain as Rhesus' mighty blow cracks its shell.

It lashes out again at Rhesus:

With a sizzle and pop of magic, another of the creatures appears in the room. Those with magical know-how recognize a dimension door spell.

Rhesus is grappled. Everyone is up. FYI I will be away until Friday, so there will be no updates on my end until then.

Confident he’s not going to be beaned in the back of the head again, Bibic focuses his bow on the enemy, starting with the wounded one and working to the fresh if he’s lucky enough to down it.

I have clustered shot, so in the unlikely even I hit more than once, DR is only applied once.

Clement's body starts to bruise as he shares Rhesus's pain.

He waves his hands in a somewhat ordered fashion, using the only spell he has that can hurt evil monsters such as this.

For the sake of moving on, let's assume that as part of his turn, Clem uses an immediate action to cast Liberating command. Rhesus can make a Escape artist check with a +20 competence bonus as his own immediate action.

Sorry was traveling with limited Internet! Back now. Removing a 1st level spell for Liberating Command.

2 rounds of calm emotions has passed, 1 remains.

Clement writhes a bit as he shares the sensation of being crushed with Rhesus and exhales sharply as he watches Rhesus work to escape its hold.

"We need to hurry! That scroll doesn't last long! We'll be confused again in a few seconds"

Realizing he'll need stronger magic to work against the creature's grasp, Clement prepares himself to go into melee and assist Rhesus.

Freedom of Movement on self. Will cast and move to touch next round if Rhesus ends up grappled still.

Rhesus manages to wriggle free of the creature's grasp, but still is within the range of its claws.

Koriah: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Koriah fails to bypass the creature's defenses.

Everyone is up. One solid hit should drop the badly wounded one.

A very confused looking chicken looks around the battlefield for food… as he has no idea what is going on.

Hearing the song turn to clucks Rhesus looks to Bibic before turning back to the scorpions.

"Play time is over I guess."

Picking up Earthbreaker is an AoO, so I will kukri the one that can reach me. If the first hit drops it I'll then pick up my Earthbreaker.

"Bibic! Is this why you won’t ask out Korean?" Spasi asks his fine, feathered friend. ”Because you’re *CHICKEN*.” Spasi asks, quite amused by Bibic’s transformation.

”Hey Koriah, I think Bibic finds you to be ‘im-peck-able’!”

Spasi sends a spray of magic missiles into the remaining demonjerk..
5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 3, 2) + 5 = 17 force damage

SA: Freedom of Movement

Clement feels the power of his scroll waning, and reminds everyone that time is running out.

"Guys, we'll be confused again shortly!"

He wades into melee next to Rhesus, feeling a mix of both anxiety and calm as he approaches the strange crabmonsters.

Freedom of Movement on Rhesus.

@Rhesus: Your first hit dropped it. Consider your hammer picked up.

Seeing Rhesus dispatch its compatriot, the remaining abomination uses its last cast of baleful polymorph against Rhesus. DC20 Fort save or be turned into a squirrel.

Koriah rushes in to engage it:

Attack: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 2 = 28
Damage: 1d10 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 = 9 but fails to bypass its protections.

Spasi flies closer to Bi-Beak, intent on trying to rustle up the bird next turn. In the meantime, he shoots his wand at the thing eating Rhesus.

5d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 1, 3) + 5 = 18 force damage

Rhesus shrugs off both Clem's spell and the polymorph spell, then moves up to hammer the qlippoth.

Attack: 1d20 + 27 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 27 + 2 = 30
Damage: 2d6 + 25 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 25 + 3 + 1 = 32

Bi-Beak eyes the approaching figure of Spasi warily... something about the look in his eye, he doesn't like. He scrambles around for cover, flapping crazily and screeching in circles.
