Knowledge Arcana 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Kythel's eyes go wide, "He lives, we must reach him first!"
With that Perception check do I gain any insight as to how to reach him?

Kythel sees the color maze for what it is and is able to tell everyone the correct order of colors to head towards in turn, but it looks like you will have to go one after the other....
Any buffs before entering? it will take six rounds to get through the whole thing.
Kythel of Nisroch |
Kythel heals both Broccan and Edrukk before entering the mirrors as Alkaid appears unharmed.
Edrukk CLW x 3 3d8 + 15 ⇒ (8, 5, 5) + 15 = 33+50% = 49
Broccan CLW X2 & CMW x1 4d8 + 18 ⇒ (8, 8, 8, 4) + 18 = 46+50% = 59
Kythel also casts Bear's Endurance on Edrukk. +2 HP per Level & +2 Fort Saves.
He then casts Protection from Energy - Fire on himself.
Edrukk Thorvirgun |
"Thank ye, lad. Stay between Broccan 'n me 'n let's be off t' get th' paladin, aye?" He draws his greatsword.
Suggesting: Broccan, Alkaid, Kythel, Edrukk
Mystery roll: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Broccan goes in round one, and finds
Alkaid goes right behind and finds
Kythel goes next and finds
Edrukk goes last and finds
KenderKin |
On the third round Broccan emerges from the Starry Mirror and finds himself in The Vault of Ancients
- The room is dimly lit by the glow of Alek’s sword.
A pentagonal, 5-foot-wide mirror is set into a wall of this square room. Twelve 7-foot-tall clay urns stand against the walls to either side, and an iron door, its face covered with countless scratches and chips, blocks an 8-foot-tall archway in the wall opposite the mirror.
Alek Tercival slumps against the iron door as you enter through the mirror. His eyes are red, and his fingers are covered with dried blood, the fingernails worn down, and bent back, his fingertips covered with blisters. “The archons, they have abandoned me! I have failed to save beloved Cauldron. Aarrrgghhh!” He cries in a tormented wail.
Broccan Dunchad |
Broccan sheathes his sword and cautiously approaches Alek.
"Alek, can y'hear me? Is me, Broccan. M' friends an' I came look'n for ye'. They're still inn'eh maze, but they'll be 'ere soon. We'll getcha safe back t' Cauldon."
KenderKin |
Alkaid arrives in the room with Sir Alek...
Alek mutters to himself; “When the final cage is shackled the burning doom shall rise.”
; “When the final cage is shackled the burning doom shall rise.”
; “When the final cage is shackled the burning doom shall rise.”
- He squats down, low to the ground, rocking back and forth. Mucous runs from his nose, dried onto his large ragged mustache. He breaths loudly, through his nose, and seems only barely aware that anyone is in the room with him. “Failed…..all is lost…..”
Alkaid Ingrid Bridgette Aiba |
upon hearing him Alkaid responds with
"Calm down, Sir Alek."
she walks towards him and tries to comfort him like a mother comforting her upset crying son.
She first takes out a handkerchief to clean his nose, then goes for the motherly comforting hug and gently and motherly repeats,
"All is not lost."
diplomacy: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (15) + 25 = 40 Not sure if a RP bonus/penalty gets added

As Sir Alek seems to realize he is not alone any longer....
Round 5
Kythel
-There is an explosion of brimstone and a foul stench which immediately permeates the air, stinging your eyes and nostrils. The air is suddenly thick with black acrid smoke, forcing you to squint against the searing heat of it. Silence pervades, except for the sound of a massive bellow, sucking in air, only to blow it out. The sound repeats itself again, but this time with a low rumble. Its not a bellow, it is something breathing. The rumble turns to a deep grating voice; “You shall not save your friends mortals! This time of peace is at an end!”
- The smoke clears, revealing a creature as tall as a giant, with a broad, muscular body. Its four arms end in weapons – two with clawed hands, two with powerful pincers. Its doglike head is topped with horns, and its muzzle drips with sharp fangs. Its eyes have a cold, dark, penetrating quality that suggests cunning and intelligence.
Sir Alek grabs his sword and readies his shield......
Aleks last stand
Alek's battle cry is likewise confusing....
“Beware the unseen mark! Beware the eyes that kill! By treachery and deceit shall the true Lord fall and the false Lord rule!”
Edrukk Thorvirgun |
When Edrukk arrives - I'm not too sure how many rounds have passed ...
The dwarf steps through the magic portal, sword still in hand, muttering, "Maze me arse. Musta been a fairy elf idee, n' dwarf woulda wasted me time wit' sech a 'are-brained, roundabout way t' get t' ... 'ello, 'at's this, Brocco? Ye started th' dance wit'out yer ol' friend again?"
Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Sir Alek begins by attacking the demon straight away....
Smiting Holy longsword 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 201d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 151d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Perception DC 15
The Demon retaliates in rage at the Paladin!
Pincher #1 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 422d8 + 11 ⇒ (1, 5) + 11 = 17 Claw #1 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 341d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Bite 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 371d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
At this point everyone may act except Edrukk
You are up!
Edrukk Thorvirgun |
This round, he will cast greater stunning barrier on himself using a point of fervor, making it a swift action, and use a standard action to activate his war blessing on himself for one minute, taking the +1 dodge bonus to AC.
Next round, he will use a swift action to enable sacred weapon to grant his greatsword another +1 and the keen ability, making it a +3 keen weapon. If the demon is within a 20' move or charge, he will take a +1 insight to attacks, but if the demon is farther, he will take a +10' bonus to his base speed instead.
Hope that makes sense.
Kythel of Nisroch |
Kythel starts with his most powerful spell.
Holy Smite 7d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 6, 2, 1, 1, 2) = 20 Will save DC 17 or Blinded for 1 Round a successful save also reduces damage by half.
Broccan Dunchad |
Broccan moves to engage the demon, attacking it from the flank as it battles Sir Alek.

Edrukk Thorvirgun |
Edrukk steps from the mirror and with a thought enhances his sword further before attacking. I doubt I have opportunity for flank, but I would go for it if I could.
"Fer th' glory o' Gorum!"

Bane against what foe? Evil outsiders, I hope. Does the holy and the bane effect stack, granting a +4 to hit (+5 total) and a +4d6 to damage?

Kythel is not sure what to make of the Demon's continued punishing of Sir Alek, however, he did not come here to watch the man die.

Edrukk Thorvirgun |
Edrukk steps to set up the flank with the young goddess, uses his god's power to enhance his attack further, and continues to attack.
"Good lad, keep Tercival 'n 'is feet!"
Using point of fervor to cast divine favor as a swift action that does not provoke.
Power attack, furious focus, vital strike, +3 keen greatsword: 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 18 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 2 = 44 sacred weapon, war blessing, divine favor, flank figured in this time

Sir Alek looked rough even before you arrived, lack of both food and water had taken a toll on him, plus the strength elixor, had not helped him that much either.
Roughly you guess he might last two more rounds
