"It's on the tip of my tongue what this place is for and alas I do not know. Proably some sort of summoning rune or something. Nothing we need mess with. I believe there is one other area here we need to have a look at though."
"Let's see what else this place has to offer."
You pass through the teleporter into the last area.
This long chamber is filled with two rows of wide worktables. The far end of the chamber contains three wide alcoves. The ones to the north and south are each filled with all matter of alchemical supplies and large barrels, while the one in the middle contains a single huge vat of what appears to be twitching, foul-smelling flesh.
There are 9 of the humans you fought before, They are diligently at work at something on the work tables, so you get a surprise round.
The axe things weren't human.
Bo activates his Judgement of Justice and Destruction. He then fires at #1.
"Focus them down!"
"I eat magic like theirs fer breakfast!" Obi scoffs.
Obidiah shoots the same target Bo shot.
(seeking, steel, deadly aim)
Jan will pull out his rifle and shoot...1?
Bo hits his, Obi hits him too, then Jan pops him as well.
that's going to go well for them.
Bo activates bane as a swift action and attempts to down one of them.. Using grit as well.
steel vs FF..
clustered shots..
"FOR BANDER AND YAP!!!"
"Yer momma!" Obi yells out as he challenges #5
(seeking, steel, deadly aim, challenge)
In a fit of stupidly well placed shots, Bo drops four of them.
Obi then drops another.
"Surrender and you will be spared! Your master is dead! There is no reason for you to perish as well!"
Jan will keep firing too.
Don't listen to him! Surrender is for the weak!
Normally these guys are not supposed to surrender, but after Bo popped so many down with close to single shots and the boss being dead, I suppose they will.
"Hold your fire men! You fellows drop your gear, on your knees, and hands on your heads!"
Bo reloads and move to bind the remaining ones..
Since you don't actually speak Azlanti, you don't really know what they said. They did drop their arms before you said anything, but they just look at your funny when you speak.
He will motion them to get on the ground..
"Let's bind their hands.."
He moves to do so..
Actually I guess that language was Thasselonian, not Azlanti (you don't have either, but Jan has it).
She is indeed deceased - you called this the Hall of Wrath, why?
I learned Thassilonian from a correspondence course. It mainly focused on monkeys under tables and the curvature of tableware.
The speaker looks up from the floor as if you are daft.
I didn't write the course - it's a dead language, you take what you can get.
Looking over at Bo he motions with his head at the prone, bound men.
Anything you want to ask them? They're babbling about the magical school of wrath, seven lords - you know, basic cult nonsense.
OK, just to speed up and save me from all the formatty typing stuff, the guy responds that the rune forge can be used to create runeforged weapons. These are powerful against minions of an opposition school. Forging can be done at the runewell (place you were in when you first got here).
Uh...well obviously something survived Earthfall. Even if gnomes now rule the world and force us all to wear yellow socks.
So these guys think it's pre Earth fall soooo maybe take the Runeforge thing with a grain of salt.
"Well at some point we have to re-up our party members.. Maybe after we come back to use the rune forge thing?"
All the halls are clear.
I don't imagine any of you have any teleportation magic or such? Just asking.
There is a scroll on my corpse
"I can probably figure out a scroll."
Yes, 4 mages survive.
Yes, you could make runforged ammo, but you're better off doing it to a weapon. The process will be described to you by your prisoners if you request. It's fairly simply. You go back to the pool at the entrance, and dunk in two opposition school samples (they are findable in each wing of this area), then dunk in the weapon. Then it will be runeforged. You don't need feats or skills.
Also, you're all now 15th level.
The now cowed locals explain that to leave you need to go to the summoning circle in the High Lady's room and cast a teleport inside of it. That will return you to the portal which got you here from Golarion.
Actually just checked, it's a +2 enhancement. The process won't cost you anything, but it does raise the bar for further enhancements.
"What are we to do with these fellas? My instinct is to take the back to Magnimar, But that would be a grand undertaking. Any suggestions?"
"We are 10000 years old. If you take us from this place we will accrue all of our years without the protective magics and crumble into dust. "
They are quite thoroughly evil.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"Well then I am at a loss as to what to do with you then. You are obviously evil, so I cannot just leave you to your own accord. And since you cannot leave this place I'm not sure what to do with you. Any chance of repenting and becoming a servant of the light?"
"While you may judge us by your moral standards, we are beings of order, and care capable of following oaths. If we swear to keep to our own devices here, we will follow that oath. As it is, we are hardly a threat to your world since it is death for us to travel there. "
Discern Lies(DC 17) on that as well as
They are telling the truth.
