"Xeram, what did you call this creature. A lightning elemental?
Isn't that one of the components we need for the golem, blood of a lightning elemental?"
"Do we have a way to gather it's blood or should we bend it to our will?"
Not waiting for an answer, Taeral casts a spell while keeping an eye out for the elemental's attacks.
----------------------------------------------
Current Effects: Pugwampi's Grace (Lightning Elemental), 7 rds;
"Yes, i did indeed. Unfortunately i have not had the chance to try and extract any bodily contents from one before. But binding it to our will would be the most efficient method."
Fail
Looks like I have been Pugwampi'd!
Booyah!!!!
:D
Getrart tries to close cautiously, hopefully taking advantage of the elemental's reckless maneuver against the barbarian.
,

I suspect Gertrart's acrobatics wasn't enough, I'll check the module when I get home, but he does hit, albeit for 5 less damage than he hoped.
Elemental-13, Pugwampi'd
Gerion roars, embraces his wrath, takes a five foot step forward, and full attacks.
Gerion, your second attack should be +11 right? You don't have surprise, the creature went first.
Fair enough!
Gertrart did miss the acrobatics.
The 1d8 is electricity
Even Pugwampi'd, hitting Gertrart is easy.
Both of Gerion's swings hit! Just not as hard as he expected.
Elemental - 43, Pugwampi'd
Malleck and Nubis are not attacked, no Combat Reflexes. Gertrart was only attacked the once, I had to roll twice because of the Pugwampi effect.
Malleck misses, but Nubis hits.
Fail
Waiting for Mordecai.
Elemental - 47, Pugwampi'd, Anchored?
"How exactly one is supposed to collect the blood of a creature made of lightning?"
If the creature bleeds, Gerion will surely do most of the bloodletting. Binding sounds like a good idea, but Mordecai has no means to that. But at least he can help here by minimizing the damage the elemental will inflict on his allies. The tiefling incants the words of magic, and the area around the elemental explodes into a cloud of shiny particles.
This is definitely not the same day as you fought those two. I'd say maybe a couple days later, no reason to not be all healed up.
I'd say that a DC 15 heal check and having some decent container could be used to get the blood from the corpse of the elemental.
Fail
So now I am Pugwampi'd and Blind!
Alright, round 2!
The Elemental will take two swings at Gerion...
Hit
Hit
The 1d8 is electricity
Hit
Hit
The 1d8 is electricity
So a Pugwampi'd Blinded Huge Lightning Elemental is still dangerous!
And the Will save to try and end the blindness...
Fail
Elemental - 47, Pugwampi'd, Anchored, Blinded
Still seeing the danger the elemental presents, Taeral tries another spell to minimize the creatures attacks. With a quick joke about a Magma, Earth and Fire elemental walking into a bar, he waits to see the reaction.
----------------------------------------------
Current Effects: Pugwampi's Grace (Lightning Elemental), 6 rds; hideous laughter (Lightning Elemental), 7 rds, DC17 Will to end each round;
"This, my comrades, must be one of the most amusing, if not dangerous, sights i've yet witnessed. An elemental affected by hindering magics to this degree."
Xeram decides to use a short volley of trusty arcane bolts.
Fail
So now I am blinded, anchored, laughing, and pugwampi'd? This just keeps getting better!
Xeram's missiles fly true and strike the elemental.
Elemental - 58, Pugwampi'd, Anchored, Blinded, laughing
"How much blood do you think we need? Will one flask be enough?"
Gertrart let's been collecting blood for a long time though he's not had much chance since Brandescar. He cuts at the creature with his sharp blade. "I've missed this. This will be more useful and a lot more fun than framing a dwarf for murder!"
,
The Heal skill can be used untrained. I think we should wait until it's dead?
Being blind, the creature has a terrible AC, so Gertrart hits, for 5 damage.
Elemental - 58, Pugwampi'd, Anchored, Blinded, laughing
It's a move action, which would normally draw an AOO, but laughing blinded creatures don't take AOOs.
Both the Anti Paladin and his outsider companion go all out on the elemental

"I do quite love the odds here. I like my opponents blind, laughing and cursed with bad luck"
Still having no idea how to draw its blood, Mordecai pummels the elemental with magic missiles.
"Well I do have a pot in my pack and also a blanket. Maybe they can hold any 'liquid' this creature may have."
"We may not want to kill it until we figure out how we can collect it's blood. Can we beat it senseless?"
All of Malleck and Nubis’ attacks hit the creature. They do 3,3,3,5 and 11 damage respectively.
Mordecai’s magic missiles do full damage and the creature falls to the ground and is now “dying.”
Now would be the time to take the blood sample. When it finishes “dying” we’ll say the body disappears.
Since I know you all check the spoilers anyways, it looks like the elemental does not stabilize, so you have 4 rounds to extract the blood. That means no take 10/20 is possible.
Also, as you make attempts, please take 1d8 of electricity damage per attempt.
DC 15 heal check is all we're after.

EDIT: So not passed out, but nothing above a 6 on the dice (and half of those dice are d20s! :)
Oh right, I should have Pugwampi'd the stabilize rolls, no matter, they all failed anyways.
Mordecai casts stabilize to prevent the precious resource from wasting away. The he proceeds to collecting the blood.
gtg, so you've got your lightning elemental blood!
So, before you set about kicking off the ritual, I advise that you make at least one trip to town. You obviously need supplies, for repairing things, maybe for crafting, and whatever else you want, selling and buying, etc.
Once you kick off this ritual, you will be setting off a beacon to all of the goody two shoes out in the world, and who knows what sorts of stuff is going to come and try and stop you from completing your task.

Gerion grunts and nods in approval. "Let me heal up, and then I am ready for anything the Mithrans might throw at us!"
Gerion grunts and nods in approval. "Let me heal up, and then I am ready for anything the Mithrans might throw at us!"
We'll remember you said that.
"Any more in this room?" the rogue asks looking around.
"Which of this stuff do we want to take to town? What is it we want to purchase first? Laborers?"
Gertart thinks fondly of the journeyman dwarf he briefly studied under while planning to hire a construction crew. "I offered his joining us. Oh well. What a waste." He shakes his head in disappointment. "On the bright side, I will have a chance to conscript someone instead."
There is aught more in the Sanctum. No loot, other than the lightning elemental blood.
Make sure you have your shopping list all set!
So, umm, what's the plan here?
Return to town to sell the sellable. Bring back a handful of laborers & materials to fix the bits o' horn what needs fixin.
Contact the other knot, tell them what lineages we need to identify.
Gertart will begin magically enhancing his armor when not actively working on the horn's defenses.
"This is putrid," remarks the smith as he cleans out the coal bin and other parts of the smithy. On a lark, he takes a bag full of the soggy coal dust & chunks upstairs. He lobs it on the verdant oozes from a safe distance juuuust to see what it does to them.

Two days after returning from town Gertart comes out of his newly claimed the smithy. His newly adjusted armor will now detect as magic.
"Thank Asmodeus. All this from a simple act of hard work. And a few Mitran faithful."
"Thank Asmodeus. All this from a simple act of hard work. And a couple thousand gold."
"Thank Asmodeus. All this from a simple act of hard work, a single Mitran faithful and some gold."*
