"Well that bracer may prove helpful, should we locate its missing pair." Hazreem nods, "Let's finish what we came here to do and examine that brazier."
Efreat focuses on the bracer.
"It is a Greater Bracer of Archery. It definitely needs the matching pair to work. We may need to look for it elsewhere."
"Unless you're willing to wait until tomorrow, I have no way to share communications with everybody."

"I think there are other places to explore, this doesn't seem that urgent at the moment. I suggest caution and holding off on going to who knows where until we are better prepared. But...if it is deemed important to travel through now than I can take on my angelic aspect to fly and venture through first."
Mah'ysa reached out and grasped Bahir's hand.
"And I will take MY Angelic Aspect and go with you."
"That brazier is not going anywhere, so let's finish exploring this level." Hazreem suggests.
"I'm with Hazreem. We can explore this later. We don't know what resources we will need for the rest of this level."

The group heads back upstairs and across the large, open courtyard. Two fire giants stand guard at the door to the throne room, greatswords stand ready to attack anything coming out of the room The giants give you a snarl as you pass between them and then chuckle at each other as you approach the door.
Mah'ysa quickly hummed a Sarenrae Bless for the party.
"I will save my spells until we know exactly what we are facing." Hazreem replies.
Pae takes a quick look at the door.
Pae turns his attentions to the giants, trying figure out what they might be hiding.

"Yeah, the door seems clean. Those giant chuckleheads apparently aren't bright enough to think of anything useful to do."

Bahir's Greater ANgelic Aspect will affect everyone within 20' in a number of ways. I only included the defelection bonus on Bahir above, and so be aware whether you are inside or not from this Aura.
Essentially,
+4 deflection (many won't get full effect),
+4 resistance bonus to saves (many won't get full effect),
Protection from Evil (bonuses overshadowed by above, but still get prot vs summoned creatures),
Lesser Globe of Invulnerability (no spells inside of 3rd level or lower, spell-like, and items abilities are ok)
Bahir only: Low-light vision, Darkvision 60; Immune Acid, Cold, Petrification; Resist 10 Electricity, Fire; +4 save vs. Poison; , DR 10/evil; Wings - Fly 60’ (good), weapons good aligned;
.
Protective Aura to all in 20' - (+4 deflection, +4 resist bonus saves to all in 20’ against evil creatures); - (Protection from Evil to all in 20’, once leave, no longer protected); - 20’ - (Blocks spells <= 3rd level; spell-like and items not affected; spells can be cast out)

Bahir gives a great heave to the double doors, which open with surprising ease. You all move in quickly, prepared for another large battle. However, you are a little surprised to see a mostly empty, but large circular chamber.
Most immediately obvious is the covered pavilion composed of twisting brass columns inset with (what appears to be) ivory and previous stones encloses a cushioned throne at the center of this huge circular audience chamber. Around the pavilion throne, less ornate chairs sit on the extensions of the central pavilion. Fire pits shimmer with raging heat, barely contained within the borders of the pits, and a large non-burning pit is visible beyond the throne. Upon the throne sits a semi-translucent, clean shaven dwarf adorned with expensive robes and jewels.
Three exits from this room are marked by large curtains of brass rings: two to the east and one to the west.
The dwarf throws up his hand once the party enters and calls out in a commanding voice, "Approach and bow before the Qilzar Agha, eternal master of the Haunted Palace."
Touch of Good (+6)
|
|
The darnoc is a corrupting evil presence whose very touch sucks the life from an opponent bit by painful bit. The darnoc are said to be the restless spirits of oppressive, cruel, and power hungry individuals cursed forever to a life of monotony and toil, forbidden by the gods to taste the spoils of the afterlife they so desperately craved in life. Often seen in the clothes and guise it wore in life, a darnoc often walks the same halls and repeats the same actions of its insipid existence over and over again. Due to their great greed, a darnoc may be found within its treasury endlessly counting its coins, or within a graveyard noting the headstones of its vanquished foes with cruel mirth. When distracted from its reverie of its remembered past life, the creature flies into an inconsolable rage, often lashing out without warning or provocation at the first individual who attempts to speak to it.
Special: Its very touch bears a curse and damage cannot be easily healed. Hit point damage cannot be healed without first removing the curse (e.g. break enchantment or remove curse).
Defenses: Undead, Incorporeal

"Beware my friends! This creature is a Darnoc; It is undead, it's touch bears a curse, it's very presence causes panic if you are not immune to cold, and it commands the power of a Symbol of Discord!
"It is easily angered if accosted; do not approach it if you can avoid its attention!" Mah'ysa quickly summed up for her companions.
