”Don’t we got some sorta magic’l mattock that kin bust through walls?”

Wren stares at the wall in annoyance. He scratches his head.
”Did I make a wrong turn? I knew I should have made a left at turn at the Albu Turkey,” Wren looks at the wall again. ”Is there a secret door someplace?”
Perception
Know (Arcana) -
He ponders how to get through the wall...and while Kraygan prepares his bashing, Wren will explore the magics on the weapons in the room, if any.
Alysendra contemplates the wall. "Was this wall here when we looked through the window?" she muses aloud. "Or did someone place it here to slow us down, knowing we'd come for Jorgan's mount?" She casts locate object and again tries to zero in on the saddle she used earlier.
|
Wren doesn't remember seeing a door and he does faintly remember passing through this wall while he was in the other Plane.
It looks to be quite a normal wall, just radiates residual magic with the completion of the wall that seem to make it stronger.
Wren moves to investigate the weaponry and finds little in the way of magics, though as his eyes linger on the morningstar bearing the name of "Renfal" the light in the room dims and sounds become hushed, you can catch a fleeting glimpse a huge, disembodied shadow among those cast by the room’s lamps and hear the faint sound of harps, like the confused buzz of a distant ensemble tuning their instruments. At the same time, a Huge, vaguely humanoid form takes shape on the surface of the morningstar, faintly glowing with a cold, misty light. The glowing figure lingers above the weapon for a short while, then slowly ascends toward the floor of the room, passing through it and the tower’s walls to the engine room below to where the ghostly giant Renfal resides.
A distinct, gloomy melody rises over the confused harp sounds. The melody is short and gloomy, and obsessively repeats itself.
"Do we take it back to him?" Jorgan shakes his head. "That can wait. Kray, get us through that wall and to Spirit. We've got to deal with one thing at a time here."
|
|
Wren, while thinking upon the spirits who take weapons, thinks of two ways through the wall should Kraygan fail. He hates to waste magic to do such mundane endeavors as wall razing, but he will do so to save Jorgan's pet lemur.
"Hey Kraygan, do me a favor and take this morningstar with you? We'll give it back to Renfal. He might like it. He just might."
|
|
Grabbing ahold of the massive mattock Kraygan sets to work on the wall. It is a very long, loud, and laborious task. Soon though as sweat drips from his brow and beard alike a hole is formed in the wall. Just as light breaks through. This noise gave the gug savants enough time to prepare as they scattered to the back of the room.
The flooring you are standing on quickly grows jagged as small, sharp spikes jut up in all directions making it difficult to move about.
With light streaming into the room it looks as if two of the gug savants are clinging to the ceiling, leaving one on the floor for now.
=================================================================
Spike stones impede progress through an area and deal damage. Any creature moving on foot into or through the spell’s area moves at half speed. In addition, each creature moving through the area takes 1d8 points of piercing damage for each 5 feet of movement through the spiked area.
Any creature that takes damage from this spell must also succeed on a Reflex save to avoid injuries to its feet and legs. A failed save causes the creature’s speed to be reduced to half normal for 24 hours or until the injured creature receives a cure spell (which also restores lost hit points). Another character can remove the penalty by taking 10 minutes to dress the injuries and succeeding on a Heal check against the spell’s save DC.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Whirlwind Blast (Su)
When in wind form, a bralani can attack with a scouring blast of wind, dealing 3d6 points of damage in a 20-foot line (Reflex DC 17 half). The save DC is Constitution-based.
Wind Form (Su)
A bralani can shift between its humanoid body and a body made of wind and mist as a standard action. In humanoid form, it cannot fly or use its whirlwind blast. In wind form, it functions as if under the effects of a wind walk spell. It can make slam attacks and use spell-like abilities in either form. A bralani remains in one form until it chooses to assume its other form. A change in form cannot be dispelled, nor does the bralani revert to any particular form when killed (both shapes are its true form). A true seeing spell reveals both forms simultaneously.
The bralani fly forward at the height of the gug's head, and both unleash lightning bolts at the red gug.
|
|
Farin begins to levitate as spits a dwarven sized loogie into the room.
The spit grows as a geyser slams the gug savant straight into the ceiling, cracking the stone before it falls back to the ground below.
Wren speeds the group along as he looks for weaknesses. Wren knows some bloodthirsty gugs gain awful powers as gifts from their alien patrons. These monsters are known as savants. Some become actual clerics or oracles of their mad gods—strange powers of darkness, insanity, and blood.While immune to diseases and most poisons if one of these gugs gets ahold of you they will rend your flesh from their bones.
They are also able to manipulate stone as you have seen as well as become invisible and bring upon an unholy blight upon any who draw near.
Kraygan snatches out his longbow and rushes forward.
Flying into the room a pair of bralani cause the stale air to stir once more as lighting leaps from their hands at the gug savant.
The gug lying on the floor quickly disappears from sight as the other pair of gugs focus in on the bralani flying about the room. A cold, cloying miasma of greasy darkness fills their hearts and clings to their bodies.

Round 2:
The bralani each actviate their mirror image abilities, and spread out to avoid further area attacks.
Alysendra activates her winged boots and moves up to support Kraygan, hovering a few inches off the ground.
"Hey Wren, can ye make me fly?" Jorgan asks as he begins clearing his throat again for another hocker at the gugs.
"HHrrrrrggghhhhhh! Here, ya bastards, this one's got some boogers in it!" Jorgan launches another yellow-brown loogey into the room, which spreads out and hits each of the gugs, covering them in a viscous slime.

"Hey Wren, can ye make me fly?"
Wren nearly cuts off his complex arcanic castings, twining the very fabrics of the planes together to bid and bind another being into service to answer the dwarf. He does not want to lose his spell. He just glares at Jorgan for a moment, continuing the complex weavings that the dwarf has never dreamt of.
Last time you flew, Dwarf, I had to scour the ethereal plane to return your rockhead back to us. You'll probably head straight for the window again...
"Jorgan, ssh," Alysendra mutters, eyeing Wren. "Wren is concentrating." She shakes her head. Attacking a flying castle, and didn't bring anything to help them fly... Desna help us all!
|
|
Jorgan spits another ball into the room and decides to try and ask suggestions as Wren works complex magic.
Kraygan stomps through the spikes a bit more as they don't seem to hurt him that badly.
Kraygan catches sight of the blue gug across the room and sends a single arrow into it's side. The Bralani begin to split apart at an alarming rate as the gugs spell sickens them.

"There you go. Watch out for the windows. Stay behind the air elemental. Don't die."

Farin floats deeper into the chamber seeing only a single gug as it gurgles with glee. The split mouth shudders in a terrifying manner.
Jorgan's slowing snot bubble seems to have no effect on it. Wren's air elemental decides to show and gives the visible gug a shove back against the wall.
A trio of Kraygan's arrows pierce the savant's ribs, pinning it to the wall.

"Right," Jorgan nods with severity, starting straight into the room. "They're still in there somewhere, aren't they? No matter, gotta get Spirit back."
Jorgan marches into the room and starts hurriedly grabbing as much of Spirit as he can gather in his arms.
|
|
With zero sign of the gugs Jorgan floats in and gathers up the pieces of Spirit that are left. It looks as if the ram was split and spread to the four corners of the room in some gruesome manner of feasting. He is able to do all of this unhindered as the unholy creatures don't seem intent on returning.
Alysendra asks the bralani to scour the area looking for the gugs. She listens carefully to see if she can detect the creatures breathing or moving.
|
|
Wren is slow to fly invisibly to the doorway, watching Jorgan pick up pieces of Spirit. He would help, but feels this work is best done by the dwarf.
He keeps an eye out for trouble, ready to send the air elemental at any foe.
* * *
When the parts are picked up, Wren will address Jorgan.
"Now what? What do you need to do? How can I help?"
Jorgan looks around the room. "Not here. No, not here. Let's just go back. Someplace quiet... it's going to take a lot out of me, but I can do it on my own. Hopefully Alysendra can help me regain strength when I'm done. Can we just go back to your mansion, Wren? That'd be a good place to hide out while I... while we recover."
Alysendra stands near Jorgan and offers moral support while he works to bring back his mount. "Your bond with Spirit must be very deep, to be able to ..." she starts, then stops. There's no way to finish that sentence without reminding him of the horrendous state of his friend...
Meanwhile, the bralani continue to check the area and keep a eye open for gugs, giants, or other threats.
|
|
"Can we just go back to your mansion, Wren? "
Wren thinks for a moment, then his face brightens.
"Totally, in fact the one we used last night is probably still around. They usually last almost a day and a half," Wren comments.
Wren will lead the team back to the mansion, then rest up and eat a second breakfast. After all, the dwarves are likely to get him killed today and while he was looking forward to it, he would prefer it to happen on a full stomach.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Back at the mansion, Jorgan solemnly walks into one of the spare room without a word and without meeting anyone's eyes.
Some time passes without sound but gradually you hear what sounds like moaning from within the room, which grows into a low growl that you recognize as Jorgan's voice, muttering a rhythmic mantra in Dwarven. As his voice grows a bit louder, a soft light begins to escape from beneath the door.
The chanting stops with a half but the light only grows brighter, like a thousand candles lighting one after another until the door nearly glows with the light escaping from the bottom.
A few clunks are heard, as of something knocking on the wooden floor of the room. A few more clunks sound within the room until you recognize it as the familiar sound of hoof-steps.
Suddenly the door is thrown open and Jorgan is standing within the opening, his eyes sunken, his face haggard, and his shoulders slumped. However, glowing radiantly behind the dwarf in a coat of magnificently white hair is Jorgan's friend and companion, Spirit, sent from Gozreh himself to accompany the dwarf on this mission.
"It's done." Jorgan says as he slumps against the door frame.
The bralani will pursue the movement as attack it as much as possible while the rest of the party retreats to Wren's mansion. "Thank you," Alysendra calls to them as she leaves.
After Jorgan's ordeal, Alysendra rushes to the dwarf, helping him to a chaise and examining him carefully.
"That took a lot out of you, but I should be able to ease the strain tomorrow morning," she says. "Assuming we're resting?" she asks, looking around. "I doubt the alarm can be raised much more than it already has been."
|
|
Wren, still invisible, waits to take the party back to the mansion.
”Oh yeah, look at that. You did it, Vanderjor! Nice work,” Wren smiles appreciatively from his comfy chair and with a glass of red wine.”[/b]
Giving time for Jorgan to re-bond, Wren then eventually wants to get moving.
