42 is here... bad weekend.
42 pulls out a scroll from his pack and hands it to our paladin friend. "Use this on our friend Rand, who went swimming with the fishes. It should bring him back up to full strength." My one and only scroll of Lesser Restoration.
Scoured Stars Map

42, lesser restoration won't restore a negative level.

Tian:
"Oh my! I am certain the master will want to hear of this when he sees you."

Ok, looks like the party's not splitting up.

You follow the woman through a sand-strewn courtayrd to what you assume must be the reception room. Shoji screens form the walls of this large, tatami-floored room. A lantern hangs from the center of the ceiling, filing the room with yellow light. Under the lantern stands a traditional, four-legged shogi-ban table, with two pillows for players to sit upon and two small side tables for captured pieces. A game seems to be in progress on the shogi-ban.

Tian:
"As you can see, the master is quite the shogi enthusiast. If you would please wait here, we will bring refreshments shortly. Make yourself at ease. The master is not due to return till evening. Feel free to use the shogi-ban for a game, or comment on the master's latest game. Regrettably, he never got to finish that game with his last visitor, but perhaps you can finish the game with him when he comes."

If you wish to inspect the game or the shogi-ban itself, feel free to make an INT check. The game seems use an INT check to determine whether your character knows how to play the game or is any good at it.

With that, the woman leaves you in the reception room and heads towards the kitchen.

Scoured Stars Map

Rand is clearly not only fluent in Tian but also in the traditional strategy game of that continent. He studies the position of the pieces carefully.

Rand:
The game is in it's late stages and one of the sides is clearly winning the game. However, if the winning side makes a few mistakes, it is still possible for the other side to win by pulling of a calculated attack on the enemy's 'king' piece.

Rand, you can teach the others how to play the game using the shogi-ban here if you wish. Alternatively, if another player already knows how to play the game, you can attempt to complete the game with one of the other players as your opponent. This will be an opposed INT check, with one of the sides taking a penalty due to the positioning.

The rest of you can also make INT checks to examine the position of the pieces, or you can examine the board and the pieces themselves.

The woman returns as you are looking over the board. She is carrying a tray with a teapot, some teacups and a plate of rice crackers and roasted peanuts. A hazy trail of vapor rises from the spout of the teapot.

Tian:

"I see two of you know the game. Will you be playing a match whilst waiting for the master to return, or shall I clear the table for the refreshments?"

The shogi-ban board is carved and drawn into the table.

"Is the game supposed to end in a draw like this Rand? said while gesturing at the board.
Scoured Stars Map

Oh my, a tie with low scores.

As soon as Itamar and Rhon conclude their match in a stalemate, you hear the soft sound of a shoji panel sliding open, and the figure of a dark-clad, middle-aged man with a long moustache and beard and wearing a tall courtier’s hat emerges from the shadows of the corridor. Walls of semisolid shadow rise from the floor, cutting the room off from the rest of the house. The man bows politely to the you, then indicates the shogi table with one long-nailed hand.

"A boring match, but what can you expect from amateurs? The match you saw before you was a much more interesting arrangement, don't you think?" he says as he sweeps his hand at the board. The pieces rearrange themselves into the arrangement the board was in when you first entered the waiting room.

“As you can see,” the man says, “one side is winning the game. But is it the King, or the Jade General? And where do you find yourself on the board?” He throws back his head and laughs diabolically, then disappears. Your vision swirls as more walls of semisolid shadow rise from the floor, creating individual 5ft partitions, and you feel yourself lurching through the air through the walls before suddenly being brought to a halt within one of the partitions. None of you see any of your fellows around you. Even Naala and Earl are not with their respective masters!

GM:
12d81 + 1d20 ⇒ (37, 26, 60, 10, 9, 33, 20, 32, 30, 42, 21, 28) + (2) = 350 If you're looking at these rolls, don't worry, they won't help you in any way. ;)[/dice]

Things are now happening in real time, so I'll put you all in initiative. Keep in mind that you can't see anyone else in your 5ft partition, so you have no idea where you are or which direction you are facing. Act accordingly.

Round 1
Matamah: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Rand: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Itamar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Before I decide Matamah's action, he has Blindsight 40 ft. from Echolocation (So sound-based blindsight). Does that penetrate any of the walls here, or is there anything in this little 5x5 partition with him? Just making sure that doesn't change things. :p

He then tries to manipulate the shadowy shogi screens

I think this was meant to be in the gameplay thread, not the discussion thread.

All of you hear Itamar calling out.
You can reply, and can use it as a reference point for directions.

Itamar:
The shogi screen appears to be as filmsy as a normal shogi screen and you should be able to try to break it. (Standard action, just roll your attack damage.)

Itamar, if you make a DC16 will save:
The shogi screen appears to be transparent and shadowy. Roll a 1d4 and I'll tell you what you see on the other side.

DC 15 INT check, Rhon and Rand get a +5 on the check; Itamar gets a +10 on the check:
The floor appears to resemble a square on a shogi-ban. In fact, it resembles the very shogi-ban that Rhon and Itamar were playing a game on not too long ago!

Alden and Rhon?

Edit: Alden, you felt yourself being whisked...somewhere. You are in a 5ft by 5ft space bordered by shogi screens on all sides, and you can hear your allies calling out various observations from beyond the shogi screens. One of the observations is that you appear to be on some sort of oversized shogi board. Naala is not with you, but I'll say that you can hear her whimpering in confusion somewhere in a certain direction.

Edit 2: 42 is pretty much right.

Edit 3: You can do it for free this round, but from round 2 onwards, I'll call it a DC15 perception check plus modifiers for distance to use any sound as a point of reference to move towards. It will be a move action to try to focus on the sound, which should not be an issue since the need to destroy the shogi screens to move through them means that you can't move more than 5ft per round anyway. 42 might find that his blinking changes things a little.

Edit 4: Rhon will be able to tell you that Earl senses 8 individuals, including Earl himself, via tremorsense. You can also hear Naala whimpering somewhere from a different direction.

Rhon:
I'll give you this info for free since you are communicating with Earl. You think he's very close. Not behind any of the screens you are bordered by, but behind a corner between two of the screens. This was entirely random too.

I am going to try hewing through the corner I think Earl is through.

Terran:
"Earl, I am going to try following your voice. Keep talking. I think I am going to have to hew through these shadowy walls."

Attacking the shadowy wall closest to were I think Earl is.
Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32

Scoured Stars Map

Rhon and Itamar:
Rhon raises his axes and swings through a corner of his partition. It tears apart with a distinctive noise somewhere between shattered glass and torn canvas. He is not quite able to cut down the walls, but through the damaged timber frame, he is able to see that he is both adjacent to Itamar and at a diagonal angle to Earl. Itamar for his part gets the scare of his life when the axe come swinging through the shogi screen behind him, and is relieved to see that it is only Rhon.

Rhon takes a swing in the opposite direction and does some damage to the screen, but does not manage to break it. Shortly after, you hear another similar ripping sound far off in the same general direction.

Your relative positions are:

EI._
_R

E=Earl; I.=Itamar; R=Rhon; _=empty 5ft square
The shogi screens around the 4 of you remain opaque.

Rhon only, and only if you make a DC16 will save:
The 4 walls you partially hacked through turn smoky and transparent, and you can see Earl and Itamar clearly.[/ooc]

Rand:

You hear a distinctive noise somewhere between shattered glass and torn canvas, and pummel down the shogi screen between yourself and the sound, but you see only an empty 5x5 square similar to the one you are in. You move forward into the new square.

Earl and Rhon:
Earl senses that the furthest creature from him just moved about 5ft in his direction.

Unfortunately, the squares that I rolled for these guys were also very close to you...

Suddenly, two dark shadowy forms emerge from the walls, one from beside Earl and another from beside Rhon. Both reach for their respective targets with shocking speed, and Earl in particular has only a moment to wonder why its tremorsense had not detected these things.
attack roll vs Earl: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
pain: 1d8 ⇒ 1
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 1

attack roll vs Rhon: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
pain: 1d8 ⇒ 5
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 63

The shadowy figure reaching for Earl should have had an easy strike, but in its haste to withdraw back into the wall, pulls back just a moment too soon and stops short of touching Earl. Rhon however suffers a caress by the other shadowy form immediately feels a dark chill seep through his bones, leaving him significantly drained. Then as quickly as they struck, the shadowy figures withdraw back into the wall. And Earl still feels nothing through the earth concerning them.
Rhon takes 5 points of strength damage. If you made your DC16 will save earlier in the round, you saw the creature coming and can take an attack of opportunity as it touches you and then flies back through the walls out of sight. [ooc]Flyby attack[/ooc]

Rand:

Suddenly you feel a chill passing by you. You turn your head just in time to see a black shadowy form emerging from the wall beside you. It looks like it was about to pass you by, but then notices you and reaches out towards you instead...
attack roll vs flat-footed touch: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
pain: 1d8 ⇒ 7
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 83
You are fast, but the shadowy figure is faster, and manages to brush your arm. It is a slight touch, but it is enough to make you feel some of your strength ebbing from your limbs.
Rand takes 7 points of STR damage, less the reduction from your ring of inner fortitude (so 5) - good buy! Also...it was actually heading towards someone else, but you were in its path, so it saw you and went for you instead. XD

Matamah:

You hear a distinctive noise somewhere between shattered glass and torn canvas, from one direction and then again from another.

Suddenly you feel a chill behind you. You wheel around just in time to see a black shadowy arm reaching out from the wall behind you...but a soft sepulchral moan of frustration issues forth when it sees that there are 8 of you.
attack roll vs flat-footed touch: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
pain: 1d8 ⇒ 7
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 92
image?: 1d8 ⇒ 3
It sweeps its hand through one of your images, causing it to disappear. It moans again in frustration as it withdraws noiselessly back into the wall.

Alden and 42 and Naala:

You hear a distinctive noise somewhere between shattered glass and torn canvas, and then again from another direction...and then hear faint gasps from both those general directions... A soft sepulchral moan issues from yet another direction, and this one was close. Very close.

Initiative order:
Matamah (-)(6 images) Takes out scroll of dimension door, casts mirror image
Rhon (-) (-5 STR) chops corner of walls
Earl (-)
Itamar (-) Attacks wall with shovel then moves
Rand (-) (-5 STR) Attacks wall with fist then moves
??????????
Alden (-) ? <----------- We are here in the init order
Naala (-) ?
42 (-) Round 1 activate ring of blinking, round 2 cast stoneskin

Rhon, Rand, Earl and Matamah only, DC18 knowledge religion:

You recognise the creature that just attacked you, and it sends a shiver down your spine. It is a greater shadow...

Itamar, 42 and Alden, the two of you are probably going to start hearing things from the others. 42 and Alden, this might influence your actions, potentially. 42, you can change your action if you wish. If not, you find that blinking does not enable you to see through the shogi screens, but it does allow you to pass through them.

Try to read only the spoilered parts that are relevant to you. I'm taking alot of effort to work out what each of you is likely to see and hear.

Oh and Matamah...good call on that mirror image! Could have been VERY nasty for you...

Need actions from Alden and Naala, and need 42 to confirm he is keeping his action and say whether or not he wants to use his move action. And then something else happens at the end of the round...

GM:

I will unload a flurry of attacks into the shadow. I don't have a ghost touch weapon, but 1/2 damage should be pretty good. I will use touch of serenity to prevent it from making attacks on the first attack.

Flurry of blows (with fight defensively): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 211d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 321d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 171d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 191d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Rhon:
I think that armor property only covers hit point damage and negative levels. But if you can find a developer's ruling that says it applies to ability damage, let me know.

Rand:
The shadows are using hit-and-run tactics. It flew back into the wall after touching you and you do not currently know where it is. Sorry, this was in the description on the attacks on the other guys, but I left it out of your's by accident. It was a long, complicated post with alot of formating to do. =(

Alden:
There are three different general sources of sounds. Which one are you heading towards? One of the ripping sounds or towards the moaning? You will also need to try to break the screens if you want to move through them.

I'll give 42 some time to post before advancing the round.

Got it. I just wanted to be sure that I was reading the ability correctly as I also thought it only applied to HP damage and negative levels but just wanted to be certain. Thanks.

What is the surface that our characters are standing on made out of? Depending on what it is it could have a bearing on my characters stats.

The surface you're standing on appears to be wooden, like the surface of a shogi-ban table, except that it's a little...shadowy.

This is what a shogi-ban table looks like

You don't actually need to touch the wall for that to happen. One tried to hit me too and I didn't fool with this thing!

Mirror image is usually a good idea when you don't know what to do. :p
Scoured Stars Map

Itamar, you can't be sure since you didn't get a good look at the thing, but from the description, it seems to be some sort of shadow, or a variant of it. They drain strength with a touch, and those that have all their strength stolen die and rise again shortly after as shadows themselves! They are incorporeal and capable of noiseless flight, which might explain why they appear to attack out of the walls - they're passing right through them. The walls here give them an advantage...

In the interests of moving things forward, I'll assume 42 just activates his ring for now.

Alden bashes at the wall, trying to head towards where he thinks he heard his nearest ally. 42 activates his ring of blinking... and then it happens.

Rand, Alden, Rhon, Itamar and Earl watch in consternation as the walls reform to the condition they were in before. If you call to your allies, you find that they are still where they were relative to you, but the walls appear to reform very regularly...

Actions from Matamah, Rhon, Earl, Itamar and Rand please. None of you see any of the shadows for now... You can totally ready an action to attack a shadow if it pops out though, which is what earl appears to be doing?

And at least one of the creatures now knows Rhon has a ghost touch weapon...
One other knows that Matamah has put up a very annoying illusion.
And one more knows Rand is slightly resistant to their attacks.

Not sure if it'll go through, but I'll try. Let me know if I can affect them.

He will try to fool with the panels. Let me know what kind of check involved.

Since your bardic music only requires them to hear you, it will work. You can interact with the shogi-screens to get a will save to see through them (negating some of the advantage of whatever is attacking you), or you can try to break it with a Strength check or by rolling damage against it. But some of your friends can tell you that the walls appear to restore themselves at very frequent intervals.

Btw, Rhon, your attack of opportunity missed. These things seems quite mobile when it comes to moving through threatened squares. ;)
