GM Nazard's Articles of Faith (Inactive)

Thanephos moves to Sir Rollynd, using his power to heal some portion of his wounds,
Mythic CLW: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 6) + 4 = 11

Sir Rollynd comes to...barely. At first, he attempts to get up, but seeing that things are under control, slumps back down and mutters, "I almost had him."

"Are you well now Sir Rollyn?"

"Well? Well, I'm not dead, if that's what you mean. Are we pressing on, or are we taking time to rest and recover our finite resources?"

Hm, that was quite the hit you took. one I am unsure if even I could have.

Daniel will walk over to ty

How injured are you friend? I saw you take several blows.

ignore the partially dead fighter.

I want this horrid place behind me. But I am more than willing to rest. I do not want sleep in this tower. Wiping her lip and looking at her hand now tinted red.

Rest would be good.

How injured are you friend? I saw you take several blows.

"I'm used to it. I agree that we should rest. We can heal what we can, now, and then replenish ourselves after we rest."

Ty helps to examine the golem and then search the rest of the room.

ignore the partially dead fighter.

Ok, but I don't see your current HP on your character sheet. Or Daniels', and it looks like Rollynd's isn't accurate. Here's the hit point tally as I see it:

Ty: 9/31
Thanephos: 15/18 <-- Will heal to 17 overnight
Ryellia: 18/19 <-- Will heal up overnight
Alexis: ?/28
Daniel: ?/25
Rollynd: ?/22

Missing 19 from this combat. so I have 11 HP. sorry forgot to post HP

Don't beleive I've been hit. Normally if I am full I don't have the x/x, I just leave it as X. apologies

Here, its not much, but maybe enough to help some.

he gently places a hand on Alexis, and then ty.

LoH alexis: 1d6 ⇒ 6

LoH ty: 1d6 ⇒ 3

LoH: 1d6 ⇒ 1
LoH: 1d6 ⇒ 5
LoH: 1d6 ⇒ 3
LoH: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Spontaneous casting:
CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 <-- Ty
CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 <-- Ty

Fervor:
1d6 ⇒ 6 <-- Rollynd
1d6 ⇒ 5 <-- Alexis

I'm assuming Sir Rollynd's rolls above are what brought him to 12. Here's the HP count:

Ty: 19/31
Alexis: 20/28
Rollynd: 17/22

And assuming we get 8 hours of rest, we'll all gain another 2 points.

Also:

Ty helps to examine the golem and then search the rest of the room.

Looking around Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Thank you Sir Rose.

Yay! Everybody is touching everybody.

After taking a moment Alexis moves to look around the room and then the next as the others move that way.

Perception the room we are in: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Next room: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

doesn't seem to matter what game the dice roller is not loving me at all :(

You search the rubble and remains of what was obviously once a well-stocked wizard's lab. While the golem destroyed most things, it was unable to do more to an iron wall safe than rip it out of the wall and smash tables with it. The lock is smashed, so, ironically, turning the handle is all that is required to open it. Inside are the remains of various glass vials (their potions long since spilled and spoiled), two wands (both cracked requiring mending spells to repair, one of web with 29 charges and the other of detect thoughts with 18 charges remaining) and a spellbook containing the following spells (all cantrips, alarm, break, cause fear, corrosive touch, crafter’s fortune, enlarge person, floating disk, grease, identify, interrogation, mage armour, magic aura, ray of enfeeblement, restore corpse, sculpt corpse, unseen servant, vanish, acid arrow, bull’s strength, false life, make whole, and shatter). The spilled potions ruined the latter pages, which used to contain more powerful spells.

So are folks resting or pushing onwards? If resting, are you holing up somewhere inside, or making your way outside to camp?

Ty votes for resting in the chapel(s) on this floor since we can lock those doors.

if we are resting, Daniel will expend all but one of his remaining charges of lay on hands. So two. Also, man, this would have been a field day for a wizard PC haha.

I can continue, or rest. If we rest, I vote somewhere we can keep our backs to the wall.

LoH alexis: 1d6 ⇒ 2

LoH ty: 1d6 ⇒ 3

I think perhaps Daniel enjoys touching Alexis too much to heal her properly.

Thanephos too votes for resting up, taking a look at the wands and asking, I'd love to make use of these, but can anyone fix them?

Assuming no objections to the idea of resting in the chapels with the doors locked...

You pass an uneventful night of rest in the chapels, with the tower feeling as still and silent as a tomb. Perhaps that bodes well for the last two floors.

So, fourth floor, fifth floor, down to the basement, or run home to mommy?

Ty votes for the fourth floor.

Up works for me. We started that way and so far no one has died, only almost.

Up works for me.

what goes up most go down. Honestly I'd rather hit up the basement to keep anything, or one, from sneaking up on us from below and cutting off retreat. That said, I'll go along with majority vote

The majority seem to vote for up, so up you go.

Like the floor below, this stairwell has four doors, one on each wall. All the doors are marked with stylized flames and arrows.

Map

North, east, south, west, or continue up?

Ty listens at each door.

North door: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
East door: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
South door: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
West door: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Two twenties! Gah!

Ty faintly hears the sound of crackling flame from behind the north door, and nothing behind the others. The north door is also slightly warm.

Ty knocks politely on the door.

After a few seconds of silence, a faint voice responds, first in a crackly language you don't recognize, then in heavily-accented Taldane. "Help me."

Last time was a trap.

"Nobody had to speak to spring the trap. We would have gone in, anyway."

Ty tries the door handle.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

The door is not locked. Ty opens it slowly and peers inside.

Inside, you find two stacks of barrels (8 in total), sealed and covered in some manner of moss, and two bizarre contraptions you can only guess at. Each contraption once pointed out an open slit in the exterior wall, but the stone that magically sealed the tower must have shorn off the ends. Between each contraption is a platform of obsidian set into the floor and outlined with a circle of silver. Burning, without any evidence of fuel, is a man-sized fire. From within the crackling flames, comes a whispered voice: ”Release me!”

Map

The following three spoilers are connected and concern the creature. Make one check and open the highest DC spoiler you are allowed.

This check is separate from the other spoilers and requires its own check. You can try one or both skills to make the DCs.

Edit: Rhylellia, you can use your Perception check above for inside the room.

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
What kind of binding is on the creature? How old does the silver circle look? I try talky talky.

Rhylellia asks the elemental “Greetings I am Rhylellia friend. By what fiend are you bound here?”

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Ty is happy to let others talk to the elemental, though he can't hide the fact that he's on guard against it.

"Fiend? No fiend, just some wizard who put me here and forced me to operate these weapons. But they have been gone for so long, and I am trapped here. Please free me."

Thanephos looks up sharply, What weapons?

The elemental gestures to the two contraptions. One end of the contraptions sticks into the circles.

"Cannons. They place some of the exploding powder in the weapon and I add the magical fire."

How do we free you?

Daniel reachs out and searches the room for evil. seeing if the being is evil

"Just pass an object to cover the silver circle, and we will be free."

Daniel doesn't sense any evil from the creature.

Thanephos nods at the elemental's explanation, then cocks his head to the side, We?

"We what?"

"You said 'we will be free,' but we can only see one of you. What did you mean by 'we'?"

The elemental pauses a moment. "No I didn't."

"I think we're done here."

"But you haven't let me out yet!" the elemental protests.

"I told you they wouldn't," the elemental says.

"Douse yourself, lake face!" the elemental says.

"If they won't let us out, let's blow them up!" the elemental says.

"Good idea! Let us out now, or we'll fire one of these cannons. The backfire will probably take out this whole floor!" the elemental says.

"Hey, if it takes out the floor, it'll wreck the circle!" the elemental says.

"I told you that a hundred years ago, but you said let's wait another couple days for someone to come!" the elemental says.

"Go douse yourself!" the elemental says.

"Are you going to let us out, or do we blow you up?" the elemental asks, seemingly this time at you.

Well that depends on if we get an explanation. Considering that we still outnumber you even if there are multiple of you in there, I'm not inclined to let you out without knowing the whole situation.

Daniel, sensing no evil, decides that these... beings, are worth saving.
Fine, as you wish. May Iomeade,Sarenrea, and Erastil guide you along your immortal paths. All I ask is you leave this place, and us, be, and to tell us more about how you came here.

Daniel goes to walk up to cover the circle.
