"That Almond Tree!! In that garden under the Throne of that bastard!! I remember feeling the fullness of a good meal eating just one of those almonds... one nut for one gut. Great stuff, stuffing my pate."
Pent turns to Mahdi. "You could get us there, right? Just blink us into that chamber? Then we'd be there to rescue the half's sis, with yours not too far away..."
Pent turns to Aldebert. "Yeah, I'd be able to cast the wind walking twice, if we need to do so. But like you said, we could just Wish ourselves there. Right, Princess?"
A light goes on in Aldebert's head, Oh yeah, the Almond Tree!
"Those were great almonds. Let's use the wish to get us there brother. A wish to save Haleen will save but one person. Think of the good we can do if we go there ourselves and save them all!"
"Pent, you might consider preparing two tomorrow in case we need to escape once we're inside. I dunno. I might switch up my spells a bit tomorrow as well to get an extra dimension door for the same reason. Escape."
He looks to the group, "I know we're not a hundred percent, but we're pretty close. Just Mahdi's teleportation to get us back from town I think. I say we use the wish to descend to the almond tree chamber and drive the enemy out of their hole!"
It's clear Aldebert is excited to proceed, and without delay.
Ami is ready to go, though he doesn’t see why they can’t wish for both Haleen to be safe and them to be there.
”Let’s do this, Brother.”
The dwarf continues to flex and stretch, a few pops and snaps can be heard from his back and neck as he leans from side to side.
"Let's bring the what-for to this sullen bastard."
Mahdi produces, with a flourish, a few scrolls. "I believe I can transport us all to the Almond Tree in question... I took the liberty of arranging a few additional precautions, given our number. Ami, will Yeen consent to being-- very briefly-- a small statuette? I am going to do the same for my little friend, Sa'amm. It will enable us to get everyone there. I asked Nefeshti earlier if we could simply wish away our loved ones to safety-- she said at the time it would take multiple wishes to do that successfully, per person."
Mahdi takes a breath. "As long as the almond tree chamber isn't warded against us, I should be able to get us all there, with the one spell. I will set up a safeguard to bring us back here in case of great danger."
Mahdi pauses as he remembers Wishcraft was already being discussed as a way in. Clearly the absence of his brother is a great distraction upon him.
"....let us be off then with the morning's light."
"....let us be off then with the morning's light."
With that, Ami nods and smashes his tiny fist into his tiny open palm. The international gesture for the ‘what for’, which is what Ami intends to give the bad people in the morning.
For now though, he hops on Yeen to ride and run in the sun until it is time for dinner.
"Pent, you might consider preparing two tomorrow in case we need to escape once we're inside. I dunno. I might switch up my spells a bit tomorrow as well to get an extra dimension door for the same reason. Escape."
The gnome nods. "That I can do."
Pent listens to Aldebert's desire to fire immediately away, while Mahdi counsels a morning's departure, the following day. Then he watches Ami gear up for an afternoon's ride, and the gnome slips into a small confusion. He looks over at Otah stretching, and figures the fighters are champing at the bit, like now...
"So, like, are we blinking back to the Almond tree now? Or on the morrow?"
"Can we not leave now? We have a wish remaining today, and the longer we wait the more likely it is our sister is captured, or worse. I say we strike now, even if it puts us at a slight disadvantage."
He looks to the others pleadingly, "Please, let us not waste more time. Let's go."
Pent startles. "Well, I'm good and rested now. The Wish is at the ready, and Jhavhul still walks this land. I'm with you, Aldebert." Pent looks at the three others who will risk everything, and wonders what clenches at their respective hearts...
Princess Nefeshti doesn't interrupt as the conversation heightens the Scourge's resolve, but she certainly looks on with great interest.
"Ready to go. Let's not make your loved ones wait longer."

Undrella does depart, though she looks a touch irritated at being ignored by the Scourge, what, given the value of her intelligence regarding the House of the Beast. It's probably a good thing that you'll be well ahead of her when the Princess launches you into the chamber of the Almond Tree, by the last Wish of the day...
Nefeshti speaks ancient words of power, and the interior of the Monastery shifts abruptly to the interior of the Stone Speakers- the garden-like chamber that sits below the Maggot Throne.
An audible gasp of a female voice can be heard just behind you! "What are you doing here?! Get down!!"
Turning, you see the frightened face of a brunette halfling woman. It is the face of Haleen, sister halfling to the Brothers Piddlespot. She has made herself quite small, and is using the bountiful Almond Tree as cover, from the rest of the room known as the Stone Speakers.
This chamber is an unexpected sight—an elaborate underground garden lit by softly glowing crystals in the ceiling twenty feet above. Gravel walkways wind between verdant trees and shrubs that rustle softly in a gentle breeze that seems to come from nowhere. As the garden’s centerpiece, cracked granite benches surround a cobblestone fountain filled with crystal-clear water. To the south, a gently flowing creek runs across a pebbly streambed that passes through a rock garden and into an iron grill drain along a passageway to the south.
You stand to the north, next to the lone almond tree in its alcove, while to the west, a double arch leads to a small circular room. Four sandstone sculptures chiseled into the forms of huge angry faces stand throughout the room. These faces are known to you as the Stone Speakers.
When last you encountered them, the magic infused within the sandstone was capable of summoning rasts. Promptly, too, upon recognizing your presence, though only once in a day's span. This time, you see no rasts suddenly appear.
Instead, the room is populated by new denizens.
Thick tangles of discolored entrails cling to these lurching skeletons' torsos and wind upward to loll from their jaws like clawed tongues. There are six such skeletons.
These lovely specimens are Mohrgs, Chaotic Evil Undead risen from the corpses of slaughterers like soldiers, mass murderers, or berserkers. Some say they retain memories of their former selves, returning to old haunts...
The most prominent denizen of the room, however, is a sight to behold.
Ghartok, the Carrion King, is an emaciated shadow of his former self. His skin is stretched tight over his twisted bones, and his intestines loll horribly from his mouth like a freakish, engorged tongue. He has acquired patchwork hide armor, a tattered black cloak, and a deadly greataxe he wields one-handed.
Your sudden appearance in the room doesn't go unnoticed by skeletons in the chamber.
Orange and Purple waste no time in closing the distance, striking out with their snake tongues, before moving backwards without missing a stride.
Meanwhile, the Carrion King moves slowly across the room, watching his minions begin their work...
"Mohrgs!! Blasted undead bastards!! That tongue was licking me into a stupor, so best beware of their lashings!!"
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Mahdi's brain positively crackles with the new insights he gained during his hour poring over the legendary tome. "Yes, Pent's right, those are mohrgs -- Pent, you ought get up and above their reach!"
Mahdi soon rattles off a short list of useful if horrifying facts about some of these darkest of undead.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
The days of casting Locate Creature, spent in frustration as not a pulse of pull comes over you, come to an end. As you lift your head to appreciate the chamber's height, you find your face filled with tingling bristles of your beard's shadow. He is there, above you, somewhere. And he is not moving...
Mahdi quickly schools the Scourge in the morphology and physiology of the plentiful host of mohrgs. As the gnome exclaims, a tongue lashing earns you a risk of paralyzation, should your Fortitude prove unable to stave it off. Also, should you die at the hands of one of these skeletal undead, you will immediately rise as a fast zombie, which will, in turn, heal and haste the mohrg which can claim to have slain you.
The mohrgs benefit from their Undead nature, as well. Elemental power and all forms of weapons will strike the creatures fully, as these undead sport no damage-reducing anatomies.

”Haleen! We got this, just stay down!” I hope we’ve got this…
Aldebert rides Gretiem to the pretty red one drawing his greatsword as he closes, and takes his shot, as does Gretiem.

(feast)
Aldebert lays into the mohrg at the entry hall to the stairs leading upwards, its sound resonating on this floor, and likely the one above!
Blue shambles swiftly forward, lashing at Aldebert with its tongue, as well, apparent coordination between the undead beings to see you first paralyzed, then murdilyzed.
vs DC 21
Mahdi cannot help but stare overhead, for almost too long, as the mohrgs do not hesitate to try and press their advantage. He snaps his gaze down towards them as the battle unfolds.
"I am here," the wizard says, "for my brother, and you... are all in my way. Burn."
He sketches a zigzagging shape with his finger, and as always, fire answers his command. A serpent of pure flame manifests, coiling and charring around undead corpses.
The Chamber of the Stone Speakers ignites in a roaring wending of fire.
The two mohrgs directly in front of Mahdi burn deeply, while the snake seems to lose strength with the subsequent slams on the other three, including Ghartok.
Green moves forward to surround Aldebert. It slams into the halfling, then wraps itself about the gecko rider.
Round 1, Init 11
"Brother! Look out!!" Ami worries for his surrounded brother. He and his brave cat 5' step towards green.
Ami casts Flame Strike at the big guy, blue, and red.

"Wow, she did bring us right to her didn't she? Hey, what is this? You're not my type Bones!"
The dwarf manages to shrug off the paralytic attack and brings Zenzirad to bear.
He steps forward to engage the undead pair not being attacked by the halflings.
Zenzirad starts with Purple, moving to orange should it drop before it's last strike.
Zenzirad swishes twice, bringing Purple down! The last act of spite from Purple is to pull Otah's blade out of swing with its viscera, causing the dwarf to miss Orange.

Pent follows the wisdom of the fire mage, ascending in the air, and away from the skirmish with the skellies. In his hand, a new colorful rod.
The gnome looks about the room, before waving it tentatively in the direction of the axe-wielding undead, and hopes for the best.
A decent-sized fireball launches from the golden rod of the gnome, striking Ghartok with a decent whoosh.
"Well, that's a solid introduction! They weren't lying when they sold it to me, at least. The energy swirling within it is hard to pin down. Gonna call it my 'Fickle Pickle'!!"
Aldebert rips into Red with a mighty swing. Mahdi burns several of the undead throughout the chamber with his fire snake. Otah hacks one of the mohrgs down where it stands. Amiamble continues the burning assault, while Yeen rips into the dangling organs of Green. Pent tickles his new Pickle.
Red returns fire against Aldebert, though it fails to find the halfling's hide, even once.
Yellow joins the fray against Otah, taking Purple's place with a tongue-lashing.
Orange steps up to assault the dwarf fully.
Ghartok springs forward, lashing at Aldebert in passing.
Amiamble worries for the safety of his brother.

Aldebert grins as his body races with adrenaline. The tongue is fended off, and he returns the favor! He strikes out at the most wounded and works his way down. If he can’t tell, then red, blue, green - in that order should he be so lucky.

The mighty halfling's greatsword severs Red's semblance of life, before he attempts to fell Blue. Unfortunately some of the black blood of Red undercuts Gretiem's footing, and his rider swings wide! The undaunted gecko is unable to make it up to the halfling with his own bites from below...
Blue can't turn away from the intolerable energy of the halfling rider. It reaches back to touch the Stone Speaker. Something swirls about the ancient head, and a black line of mist shoots from its mouth, striking Blue, Aldebert, and Gretiem!!
Blue looks much better, for his effort. Meanwhile, your companion dwarf appears to tighten at every movable joint...
(Also has SR 16 in case that helps)

Mahdi glances briefly at Otah when the dwarf locks up... drifts position slightly in the open space.... and looks with smoldering eyes down on the undead. "Didn't you hear me?" he says softly.
"I said BURN, you abominations. You're in my WAY."
"Does someone want to give Otah a hand," the mage says in distant tones as flesh beneath chars and sizzles-- just undead flesh, at least.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
All of the mohrgs before you burn. Blue drops where it once stood, as does Green, leaving Aldebert abandoned in battle. Needless to say, Ghartok has weathered the third flaming attack leveled against him. Otah is not so lucky, as both Orange and Yellow retain their guardian function, directly adjacent to the helpless dwarf...

It's all fun and games, until someone succumbs to the tongue.
Pent debates whether to apply his Pickle against the uglies other than his own, or apply Sarah's supple to the dwarf's frame, restoring him to functional. The Pickle's Fickleness is all well and good, but everything in moderation, including the thrill of chaos.
Pent lowers himself, quite literally, to the dwarf's height, and thrusts forward a single finger, which becomes conduit for a Goddess's Grand Gift, selecting Otah for the singular benefit.
Otah snaps to, stumbling with Zenzirad before resetting to a guard position. He takes a second a breath and strikes at the skeletons once again.
"Thanks!" he grunts, now back in control of his actions.

"OOO-tah, NOOO!!!" Ami cries in worry for Otah. Cat and 'Ling 5' step closer, and Yeen claws at orange, lunging at yellow if it falls quickly.

Aldebert stands steadfast against overwhelming numbers, bringing that number down by one when Red falls. Mahdi immolates the masses, ending Blue and Green, and seasoning Yellow and Orange in the same swipe. Amiamble destroys Orange, then damages Yellow further, allowing Otah to return the lashing against the remaining minor mohrg, courtesy of Pent and the paralysis dismissal.
The remaining enemy smolders in your presence. Ghartok springs forward, then back, as its tongue lashes up and out at Mahdi CorpsePyre.

Aldebert, relieved to have bested the hoards, shouts, ”Well done everyone! Now, pile on!!”
He laughs as he moves forward (provoking I expect), and swings.

Sadlly, he overextends, and very nearly falls out of the saddle in his eagerness, throwing off Gretiem's attack too a little.
Ghartok seems uninterested in active opponents, so tries to negate the gecko rider from acting.
Aldebert freezes up, fittingly, as he closes in!
...so much for Piling On!
Mahdi.... does indeed lock up, eyes widening at the recognition of his tactical error as he gets hit.

Watching the Tongue do its job on yet another of his companions, Pent cautiously guides the carpet to what he thinks must be out of the Tongue's reach, and bursts Sarah's positive energy as best he can, in hopes of ending the dire threat rising in the Stone Speakers, even now.
The gnome is surprisingly quiet for the circumstance.
Mahdi hovers at his current height, stricken by the undead's tongue tickle. The fire mage appears unable to manuever in the slightest, buoyed only by the magical weave that lifted him into the air in his initial casting.
Meanwhile, the mohrg version of Ghartok thrashes that deadly tongue a third time in as many moments, hitting the big cat in his approach.
