"I do not know, I do not see them."
he keeps looking and has the robot do so as well but tells it not to break anything.
Alton do you cast restoration on yourself to cure the level drain?
Oom, you save. No penalties you feel weird, but just likely some magical discharge that is harmless, just like everyone else that saves.
One is in a white stone room, you see Alton and his automoton looking around the room.
One is looking at a dark elf and a great demon, they don't seem to be agreeing on something and he shoots some sort of spell, well a dismissal and the demon is gone. He goes about tidying the library.
One is underwater looking at a strange alter of sorts, there are saiguain about trying to activate the alter.
One is about 100 feet above the abandoned village.
What do you do, feel free to ask many questions.
Gust of wind, but at windstorm force (Fortitude DC 14 negates).
how goes the construction?
also, now that i have a portfolio or domain, does that alter my character? i am wondering in particular if i can use domain spells, or sense when something related to my portfolio is done, or something.
Not a god yet, just closer, I wanted to know what domain for future reference. Yes, you would sense if magical creation happens within 100 feet.
Tinkerer will watch it happen from the Heartstone's point of view, fascinated.
Eyes the temple warily and swims through the entrance
Wilbur follow Tate through the entrance. Assuming he fits.
Alton you failed your Fortitude save, thus only losing 1 level.
If you got below a 20 you would lose 3 levels.
Now after casting Restoration on yourself, you are no longer affected by it. Please remove 1,000 gp of diamond dust from your crunch.
Alton there is the stone door that Bertram went through, and the door you entered this room. The wind dies down and stops completely.
Alton who are you attempting to hear, nonetheless you hear no one, unless the tinkerer telepathically spoke to you...Dont think he did?
Wilbur, it might be tight, but I am sure you can fit through the 15 feet wide 20 feet tall doorway.
Inside are five dozen sahuagin, they fill the temple, even more of their bodies lie around the edges of the temple from what you can see. Also many of their bodies outside layed in waste with aboleth bodies. You can see a group of them touching the large alter on the other side of the room. As others bow to it.
Also over the course of fighting with so many aboleths you eventually failed one of your saves, though luckily it was nothing bad, you can now breathe water. Wilbur, Tate and Mr. Ziggles what do you do?
Speaks as best he can under the water
That gnome sent you guys down here too eh? Do you know what the purpose of this place is!? I know he ain't sending me down just to clean up some critters that go bump in the night or some walking sushi! Woo!
At the sound of Tate's yelling... The sahuagin turn, their fins turn up, showing off more colors, a sign of scaring off lesser creatures, they also bear their weapons. Either way, you are pretty sure their intents as they throw harpoons at you.
Tate you are in front, thus the target of most attacks, 5 get through your defenses.
Now that their barrage is done, it is your turns... Tate, then Wilber, then Mr. Ziggles... get to work boys!!!
HP: /420420(80, AC: 24/(22) T: 17 FF: 16, Perception +23, Initiative: +8, F: +34/50 R: +28/44 W: +16/32 DR 10(20)/-, CMB: +36(41), CMD: 59(64), Speed: 40
Where do you want DR? And for that matter you said 5 attacks got through to my ac, is that before or after dr? and if so was the 5d6+20 one attack or 5?
Oh I see how it is! He grins and shoots towards the one that said that phrase he didn't understand This is my house now son, and you in for a world of hurt Woo Woo!
That will work nicely Tate. Though the hit points should be 420/500 right?
That would be five attacks, so your DR would negate all but 2 damage, assuming you are not raging.
The first one takes a mighty blow from Tate, though it is still in the fight! At this point, Tate you likely rage, thus they can't hurt you unless they get a critical.
Wilbur what do you do? Tate feel free to RP the rest of your attacks... and the next 7 rounds likely.
Wilbur swings Karl back and forth in wide arcs at the group of sahuagin.
whenever he drops one he will start on the next. If he needs to charge to reach them he will rage and charge.
Focusing on baris this time. Baris what is this device and what is it's purpose?
You little fish sticks need to pay attention to the clobbering this fool is getting, because you're next!
All aboard the Pain train! Wooo woo! he places his tetsubo under his arm inbetween movement like he's a train
Baris laughs, "You think I know what it is? If so I would have activated it and not brought you. Since it looks like you have this place under control, I am going to check on the others. Good luck with your investigation."
Oom, confused by this device talks to Alton this time.
Alton! It's me Oom, I found this weird throne thing and when I sat down there was some sort of scrying effect. I can see you, and the underwater temple, and the village, and some elf in a library somewhere. What do I do?
"where are you relative to me?"
I am in the building with Baris, though he just left.
Half dozen sahuagin lay on the floor at your feet. Between the two of you. Their attacks on Tate appear to just bounce off.
They swell around you attacking with harpoons and other piercing weapons. Wilbur takes damage from some of the attacks that get through his defenses.
On Tate

Yes Alton you can hear Oom, it seems he is using a constant message spell, likely through another spell.
"hmm could you tell me approximately how far it is between myself and you, I have the ability to transform myself into an earth elemental, there is little I can do without coming further"
Is the throne room within what I can see?
Alton - Oom does not know how far, or even which direction, he would guess about a mile or less to the east from the White door, though he is not sure about it, just a guess.
Azulth glances down at the tentacles as he steps forward. He replaces the crossbow on his back and draws his sword, crouching down and moving back into invisibility, although the creature may well have some ability to sense him regardless. He tentatively steps forward, ready to bolt back or sidestep an attack if it's coming. If he gets close enough to the pearl, he tosses a loose rock or twig at it to check. If there aren't any available, he draws a shuriken and uses that.
I don't know why you're here, but you can't be dancing without a partner, and when I bring it on I bring it on! Yeah baby! Now smile and try and not be a dork babe! If you stop fighting and put it down and follow the rules you can leave without issue! Takes a deep breath* Why yall all getting rug burn on your knees!? Tell me what you know and I'll let you off with just a warning! woo!
I am assuming you do your actions after the pit has disappeared. Throwing a loose rock or twig at it makes the item disappear into it, you think.
Tate they are intent on driving you out, if not making you bleed.
Being cautious and not wishing to near the viney creature until she is certain it is dead, she summons forth one last set of aid. Calling forth upon the forces wielded and passed down from her ancestors, Ivanna summons greater shadows to do her bidding.
Within seconds, the twin shadows appear.
"Let's see how you deal with these!"
"I will have some difficulty guiding you if I am not there with you, at least not without more detail, and I lack the means to teleport to you effectively without using far too much magic than is appropriate to the situation, if you were closer I would transform myself to an earth elemental and haste myself, hmm could still work, but I would need a rather precise heading, or preferably you to guide me as I a glide through the earth, hmm perhaps a fly spell coupled with the elemental body and haste, that could work, would you be able to guide me? otherwise I am going to stay here and see what I can do on this end, perhaps send a craftsbot to you the long way."
Strange... Azulth isn't hugely knowledgeable of things such as these, he usually went to the Tinkerer for more information on them, but he knows a bad idea when he runs across one, and touching this thing is apparently a bad idea. Good thing I tossed something at it. The cautious keep breathing.
The wetman stands up and warily watches the vines, not wanting to instigate anything just yet.
The vines don't do anything really.
How close are you Ivanna and Azulth to the vines? They are roughly saturated in a 20 foot radius. The black orb is in the center of the vines, so does that mean Azulth is invisible and in the same 5 foot square? Ivanna what order do you give to the shadows?
Azulth being invisible and creeping forward, the vines did not detect you. You begin to start creeping back when Ivanna casts a spell and two massive shadows show up...
If you tell me where you are I could send someone to guide you back.
He then turns back to the dark elf. Hello Verlais I do not own that library and I am not even sure where you are. I as confused about this situation as you.
GM Wolf do I see anything else strange about the throne or the room I am in?
"that would take entirely too long, I had to traverse a multi tiered maze, with maze spells inside the maze, it took me roughly a half hour to traverse the maze I would prefer to seek other options before choosing to go through that again, I went through a white door in the air that could only be seen by those who could see the magic in the air, I am looking for more that I can do to here, unless we have a better way to leave or more incentive to do so, perhaps I could send one of my automatons to you?"
No need I will figure it out.
Azulth continues to move quietly toward the woman, and when he reaches her, he taps her on the shoulder, though he stays invisible. "Just what are you planning?" he asks, nodding his head toward the shadows even though she can't see it. "This looks like some kind of plant. Shadows won't do much good."
The runes on the throne seem to flicker, but no color stays, it seems to be missing power or a charge of some kind.
With your checks: You think that the throne is a wondrous item. A control center, a focus of the spells that can be used on the castle and throughout it. No religious symbols. With history check, you believe that this is the power throne of Jouven Routhal a mad wizard king, that took his entire wealth and created a castle. Many thousands upon thousands of gold coins later he made that castle. Once it was functional, was when the adventurers came to take back some items he had collected illegally. But his castle was functional and alarmed. So as they were trying to figure a way in, the castle broke free from its grounded base and flew away. Some say to the astral plane, others just away. It has been lost for several thousand years. Seen to pop up every three hundred years or so, for an adventuring party to gain an ascension of some kind. Bringing back tales of monsterous Abberations, only one would come back typically in a mad state. Though once that madness was gone that individual was to be found with extreme powers, only one came to godhood, but several gained demigod level.
The Heart seems to be intuitive and knows what you want to do or something about that.
Oom should do a perception check why? But it probably would be good.
To Alton, Dr. Bertram projects <<I can open the door out for you, to circumvent the maze.>>
A white door appears in front of Alton, imposed over the door to the Heart room.
The Tinkerer will also place a sensor in the Throne room to monitor the growth of the castle.
One sensor per hour, unless you can produce the spell yourself, Bertram. Then two per hour...
Continues hacking away at the amphibians until they give up and leave or they all are KO'd
Alton turns is arcane sight to the bookshelf and has his alpha remove all of the books that have a magic aura, and put them off to the side, after that he takes the rest and puts those books in a different stack.
It might be a plant, but it is still vulnerable to many things. Watch," she says to her invisible compatriot. Besides, I have to figure out how it stopped my last minion. Shadows! Attack the vines. Make sure they can't move. Make sure to take out anything else that moves."
<<no need to take the books. Theyll be safer here.>>
"I am merely determining their relative use, I do intend to leave at least the majority here, as you can apparently see or sense a great deal, is there any other areas you are aware of similar to your or Oom's control centers?"
