Lothan? Al?
Looking over at Starflit, Lothan gives a wink. "Thanks, babe." Turning his attention to the yellow guy, "Time to die, man in the yellow hat." Lothan fires away!
Al moves in beside Kyffin and slashes at the paltry mask.
Casting align weapon to make her enchanted starknife Lawful in alignment, Starflit rushes south to engage the Pallid Mask.

Lothan peppers Pallid Mask with arrows, as Starflit rushes forward alongside Al and Kyffin (and Tristain retreats). Al's thrust misses, but Kyffin draws blood over and over -- despite seeming to almost be unreal!
Despite the lack of expression, you get the feeling the creature smiles at you, as it murmurs to Kyffin: "The Yellow King's seed already grows within you. Deny it how you will, but you are already his!" Then it reaches out and touches Al, who's next to start fade from reality.

"You'll never convince me!" Kyffin cries as he resists the yellow man once again. He prepares his response.

Kyffin is quite satisfied with his first swing and praises his blade, though he looses focus for the next two. He manages to find his balance for a solid swing at the last - thanks to haste. He hopes the others do as well!

[dice=Will]1d20+17+2 vs DC 28 or talk like a Tristain
Tristain partially delays, hoping that Lothan and Al and Starflit will be able to finish the Pallid Jerk.
Al starts to fade like it's his usual nap time, even though it's still early in the day. "Damn you, this is the worst parley ever!" Al hacks away ineffectively at the servant of Hastur.
Lothan continues to launch arrows at the yellow guy.
Invoking the greater bane against aberrations, Starflit takes several stabs at the bad guy. Her arm moves so fast the inquisitor has difficulty controlling it.

The group lays into the Pallid Mask, but he seems to withstand the blows -- until Tristain's spell hits him! Unlike the usual transformation to dust that spell causes, Pallid Mask's image seems to shatter before disappearing. Perhaps he wasn't really here at all!
"Impressive," Cassilda murmurs. "Pallid Mask is no easy foe."
As you gather to recover, she tells you that this recent proximity to the Pallid Mask has allowed her to make use of the Imperial Diadem. She is now able to tell you the locations of the three Star Stelae: they located in the city nexuses of Aevan-Vhor, Bohlvarai, and Paris. Cassilda provides directions and a sketched map to each city. She explains that there is no precise order in which the Star Stelae must be deactivated, but advises you to go in the order in which she listed them.
Aevan-Vhor’s stela is the least stable and Paris’s is the strongest. In addition to their visit to Aevan-Vhor, she also recommends that you seek out someone she refers to as “the Musician.” She explains that he is a traveler known to visit other worlds who has enjoyed some success sidestepping some of Carcosa’s many threats. Her visions have revealed that he was recently a guest of a Lord Eldarius of Aevan-Vhor.
Kyffin grunts, pleased with the outcome. "Good." he says as their opponent shatters.
Still, he checks for any lingering pieces, or loot, just in case. Assuming he finds nothing of either, he's ready to move on. He agrees with Cassilda's suggestions as to the order, and what they should focus on.
"You're very helpful, it's good you're along. Thank you."
"Oh. How far is this Aevan-Vhor?"
Tristain looks down at the dusty bits of mask and casts Detect Magic, hoping that something interesting remains.
”That guy was a jerk. I’m not even sure what he was besides that,” Tristain notes, hoping not to sneeze from the grave dust.
When that is done, he will be ready to move to Aevan-Vhor.
Starflit walks up to Tristain and claps him on the shoulder. "That was a timely spell indeed." She also gives nods to Kyffin, Al, and even Lothan. She opens her mouth to speak but then closes it again with a troubled look. Agreeing with Kyffin and Tristain to follow Cassilda's order of approaching the Star Stelae, she steps in line, ready to proceed.
"Not far," Cassilda replies. "You should be able to reach the point where the Neruzavin nexus ends and you can enter Aevan-Vhor in half an hour or so."
Tristain doesn't find anything -- he suspect Pallid Mask wasn't actually here, but was rather fighting through a projected image.
Once you've finished healing and making any other preparations, Cassilda bids you farewell and wishes you luck. She promises to watch out for you and aid you if she can, then teleports away.
You move on, past another chamber where you have to fight the biggest flying polyp you've seen yet. But past experience helps you know how best to battle it and you manage without anyone dying. Continuing on, the path comes to an abrupt end as a chasm splits this alien city. It is a 20-foot-wide expanse that drops down into darkness, with no discernible way across.

Kyffin casts Air Walk Communal on folks and begins to carefully cross.
Not trusting this weird city where masks can project themselves into battle, Albert ties a rope to connect each party member before they walk across the chasm to counter any sudden loss of magical aid. Al stays on the far edge as the party crosses one by one before then going last himself.
Tristain does float on his own, and is happy to apply his skills to defeating yet another polyp.
Tristain allows himself to be bound up, but also carries his dagger in case he needs to be set free.
I wish I could find a good place to bonk.
Looking down at their lack of flooring as they walk, "Let's hope nothing erases THIS magic bit as we walk. Otherwise, it's gonna hurt for about a split second." He says with a wry grin.
As Kyffin leads the way across, an enormous, bat-like creature shaped from utter darkness, its eyes tiny red stars in the blackest night, suddenly swoops into the area from the far side. It seems to cast a spell, and suddenly the magic seems to waver, threatening to drop Starflit into the abyss! Still, Kyffin's power appears to be stronger than the bat creature's and it quickly stabilizes.
It appears to be a nightwing, a type of nightshade!
Know (Religion) -
”Oh, oh no…I wish I was back at the starting corner. At least things there didn’t make sense, but in a way that didn’t involve flying abominations, just crying doors.”
Al holds the anchor position and sheathes his blade to draw his seldom used bow, then calls on Erastil's blessing. "Banish that evil shadow back to the abyss!"
Kyffin: 20*
Lothan: 19*
Starflit: 13*
Tristain: 5*

Al quickly casts his spell, touching Lothan and Tristain, though he can't reach Kyffin or Starflit. Across the chasm, the creature -- which Tristain knows only silver weapons that are also good will fully harm the creature, resists magic , and is immune to cold and everything else undead are -- swoops toward Kyffin. Still 15 feet away, it reaches out to bite, ripping at the half-orc, who shivers at the freezing fangs.
Worse, Kyffin feels it sucking his magic away.

Tristain moves slightly up to cast Haste on the party while talking about how best to kill the undead.

Kyffin 5’ steps south and draws his bow as well, swiftly casting Divine Favor (+4 attacks/damage (luck)) to juice it a bit - though it is at least somewhat magical.
He then summons a Lilend Azata! The Azata immediately begins to sing (inspire courage +2/+2) as she draws her longsword.

A hail of arrows fly toward the nightwing, but it seems to mostly ignore them, dismissing them as you might dismiss a handful of pinpricks.
Seeing the azata blocking its path to you, the nightwing flaps back a few feet and then casts a spell, blasting a cone of cold that washes over the lillend, Kyffin and Starflit .

Kyffin wonders why Al isn’t smiting, especially considering the strength of their enemy. He shrugs and does what he can to end the menace.
He 5’ steps south again and touches his bow with Holy Strike imbuing it with the power of god (good and doing an additional +1d6dam vs evil).
He swiftly triggers his holy armor (+3 sacred), though he’s not sure he’ll survive long enough to make a swing - he’s going to try.
The Azata continues to inspire courage (+2 people! Please apply it!) and she casts cure serious wounds on herself as she continues to block the winged beast from Kyffin.

It occurs to Al that this fearsome creatures deserves to be smited and he calls upon his god before unleashing another volley of arrows.
Tristain delays to see if the brute squad and arrow team can take down this threat.
"My gosh, it's just a stupid, overgrown bat creature for crying out loud! This thing should be dead by now! We are way too freaking awesome for this thing not to be dead already! Sheesh." Lothan continues to fire away, clearly irritated at the fact it still lives.
Starflit's slow in reacting to the monster's appearance; perhaps her courage is finally failing her. Not having any recollection of such a creature, she calls out shakily to Tristain, "Is this thing undead...or what ?" Then she gets resolved, scurries across to again feel solid ground beneath her boots, and casts searing light against the shadowy scourge (after invoking her usual judgments--Protection and Purity--on herself).

She grits her teeth as the cold blast is about to hit her. Dropping to a knee and making herself small, while also raising her magical cloak to ward off the blast, the inquisitor seems no worse for wear after the cold attack.

Not having a silver weapon (other than a basic masterwork light mace), Starflit tries another searing light spell, this time hoping to have better luck beating the monster's SR.

You rain death on the poor undead nightwing and slaughter it -- though you have a feeling it took everyone's contributions to ensure it didn't get one more chance to kill you.
Letting out a deep sigh of relief, the young inquisitor casts detect magic and starts scanning the area around her.
Belatedly, she turns to Kyffin and asks, "Anyone need some healing?"

Kyffin laughs. He spent the entire combat being beaten and preparing for a fight that was clearly beyond him. For all his flexibility - he was too slow.
He laughs again and plies the healing wand on his injuries after getting some help from his own abilities and the Azata.
He dismisses the Azata with his thanks, and continues his healing with a blessing (fast healing 3 for 1m) to top up.
"Anyone else need any healing, or was it just me?" he chuckles.
"Maybe it's got a lair? Be nice to get something for the effort." he suggests, though he expects none. When everyone is ready, he suggests moving on while the air walk is still in effect.
Tristain waits for people to heal up, but also doubts the existence of a lair for the critter.
"Yeah, let's keep moving," Tris agrees, and would prefer to not be here, and also not be in the place with the starting corner, because that was also awful.

There's no immediate indication of treasure, but as you keep an eye out, Lothan's able to spot a likely hiding place in the next cavern: a 20-foot-by-45-foot opening in the walls of the nexus 40 feet above the path. You easily ascend, where you find amid a tangled pile of skeletons, tarnished mundane equipment, and half-rotten packs, a luckblade (1 wish remaining), a cauldron of resurrection, a ring of psychic mastery, 2 potions of cure serious wounds, and a sealed container filled with rare and expensive material components worth 10,000 gp in total. These components can be used with the cauldron of resurrection or applied to any spell that requires them, like restoration or stoneskin. Additionally, you discover a platinum ring worth 3,300 gp, a set of diamond earrings worth 2,290 gp, a pair of silver armbands worth 340 gp as a set, and various gemstones.

Tristain yoinks that ring of psychic mastery faster than Lothan getting thrown out of a bar on ladies night.
He will help identify and sort the rest of the items for others.
"Wait a minute there, Bonkers! I could use that ring for some...," he starts but then stops, grinning rottenly before the other jewelry catches his eye. "Whoa ho ho! What have we here?!" He reaches into the pile and snags the ring and the earrings. "Now if this don't score some points with the ladies, then they are missing out BIG TIME," he says, waggling his eyebrows.
Moving to inspect the jewelry closer, he grins as if he just found the ultimate treasure; and it's a grin that most - if not all - would find somewhat creepy and possibly concerning.
