Informationally the mist-cloud should rise to 20ft high, and a 20ft radius from me in all directions. It will endure for 1 minute/level (2 minutes), and is stationary.

The mists cover a 20 by 20 radius covering everyone.

Kest can't really see anything from here, so he prepares to attack an ape should he see one.

I will give Arwen till tomorrow to post.

Arwen swings wildly into the mist hoping to hit an ape.
to hit Glaive-Guisarme 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14 dmg 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9Do to the mist the young paladin misses.

Party Int Rolls
Kayla 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 -- Your up
Kest 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Wes 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
Desidera 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 -- You are up
Arwen 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20 tried to hit Ape 1

Ape4 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Ape 5 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Waiting for Kayla to move ! if there is no post, just go ahead and post.

"Retreat!" I call, "let us shed no needless blood!"

Stealth to slip away through the mists... 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Agreed. If we have the book there's no reason to keep fighting.

Kest backs up a bit and prepares to cover his retreating allies.

I'll move 30 feet away from the fog and prepare an attack if an ape pursues my allies.

Longbow X3: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Piercing Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Kayla also uses the mists to her advantage to back away, now that the book is secured.

stealth: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19

She tries to stay close to her "charge" (Aodhiel)

With herself and Kayla nearby, Desidera was able to chuckle to herself, promising that she and her uncle would take lessons on hiding from Kayla as soon as they got the chance. In this situation she was heartened by the fact that if they were detected, no one would be standing alone in the melee. She withdrew with her uncle, curious about what the apes would do now that Ntanga was gone. Would they retreat through the portal? Was Ntanga what was keeping the group together?

A strange magic can be felt as the group tries to move off. Kest can see that the portal has a strange green light coming from its surface is moving towards the center of the mist. The light touches what sounds like to be apes there is a loud sound of hissing. Then the death throes of the apes as they die. The group inside the mist as they try be stealthy here the apes dies and the sweet smell of flowers is now in the air. Aod and the group the at is with him can see a green light moving towards them.

Now what?

"Run," I snap, and take to my heels. "Is everyone with us?!"

Double-move at run-speed away from the green light, assuming that everyone has responded that they're okay.

Just to be clear the light from the portal is striking the apes not the group. As Aod yells he feels the Tome being pulled in direction from the side.

I hang on tight to the tomb and run faster...

Strength... 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

The Tome starts to drag you towards the right.

Aod give me another STR check DC 17

Kayla turns and grabs Aod and tries to pull him the other way, My lord we need to go this way, come-on

str check to assist Aod: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Keeping pace with her uncle, she noticed his difficulty in retreating. Desidera wondered what the effect was that affected the apes that way, trying to identify whatever it was that the portal was doing. While she was no magical scholar, magic was something that was a hobby of hers. There were so many curious things that could be done with magic, and understanding how they worked was key to understanding how to stop them.

K.(Arcana): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

I haven't added any assistance bonuses at this point

"Oh no you don't," I snap, clinging to the book and setting my feet into the ground against it...

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Are they still in the mist? Can Kest see them?

"Ragathiel guide my steps," I mutter, resisting with all my strength. "We're here!" I call, trusting that the portal has already slain its enemies. "Help!"

There were two choices. Continue to fight the pull, which-- given the source-- was not very possible, or go after the source. "Dismiss the spell, uncle!" The others would hopefully give her uncle a hand, she hoped that this would work-- and not hurt too much. Her greatsword was lifted, and she roared, a sound full of a deep fury and defiance. Desidera's steps became purposeful, as she made for the exit of the cave, the portal her goal.

Once there she raised the sword, her target being not the portal itself, but the arch that defined it. Most long-term portals could not exist without a framework, and she hoped that this would end the magic.

The sword rose.

The sword fell.
____________________________
Sunder attempt on the statue/arch(?) that frames the portal. Hopefully, no anchor, no portal.
2d6+4 (max 16) Damage applied, Good-aligned.

As Desidera sword hits the anchor, the portal swooshes in a 120 foot by 280 vortex. Grabbing everyone in the group. Each of you are flung into the aiudara. Everything goes black...
When each of you awake you find yourself in a jungle. The aiudara stands behind you and the portal is no longer active. The air is steamy and humid. In the distance an animal you have never heard makes a sound. You are each approx. 25 feet from the portal. The Ape bodies are also with you but they are dead. The Tome is still in the hand of Aod. It appears to be silent for now. It appears to be just a little after sunrise. Everyone is here and so is the gear you are wearing.
A strange woman comes from the jungle. Tall and
lithe, the creatures appear to be perfect specimens of elven or human woman. Each of you notice she has a thin and twitching antennae that rise up from her foreheads. She is dressed in simple black leather dress that appears to be less on her. Her cleavage is very noticeable by the men in the group. The dress splits up her creamy thighs. She armed with axe strapped to her back. She is extremely beautiful and she looks at you.
Then she speaks to group.
YXrTu She appears to ask a question.

That was strange, but this was not the time to worry about strange. Kest lost an arrow when he was pulled into the gate. He draws a knocks another arrow while he jumps to his feet, looking around the new area. The woman has a weapon but isn't wielding it, so he doesn't threaten her, but he does watch her while his companions gather themselves.

As subtly as possible, I tuck the book into my knapsack...

Stealth 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19

Aod is able to pack the in bag. There are no issues from the woman. She looks again at each of you and says YXrTu She turns her head and then shakes it. She points to the Portal and then to each you.

Desidera's greatsword was forgotten as she pushed herself off of the ground with a groan. "Figured. Just what I didn't want to happen." It took a second as she checked herself over for injuries, then looked up to notice the woman. Well, they certainly were not where they were anymore...

Catching the gist of her motion, even if the query was not understood, she nodded, gesturing to the portal, then all of them. The expression on her face was that of uncertain, though. She had a guess as to who that portal belonged to.

Are you guys ready to move on ?

I think I will be closing this game down. Unless you guys want to keep going?

I'm still interested, but I understand if I'm not the majority.

I am still here

Just away on vacation and not much posting time

After looking at my schedule and other stuff. I have decided to shut this game down. You guys have been fun to play with. Sorry for any heart burn I may have caused by doing this.

That's okay. Would've been a pleasure to keep playing, and would've enjoyed doing it, but my schedule is busy too. Thanks for a great time everyone!
