Sorry the walky thing...I figured thengiant was not long for the world already

figured

Ow. So the black walky thing is still up, right? And I've taken 19 damage out of 55 hp on the armor?

Yes, and yes.

Should have been a Yap action since the thingy hit Jan.

Big black walky thing swipes at Jan again.

Bo reloads and fires once at the walker.

Attack: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24 steel
Dam: 1d8 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26 dam is +3

Jan looks down at his armor and back up at the creature.

Boom tosses a dispel bomb at the walky thingy

Mutagen, PB Bomb/DC 27: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 19 + 1 = 36 for 9d6 + 1 + 9 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 1, 4, 3, 5, 4, 1) + 1 + 9 = 42
1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23 dispel if it has anything

Don't waste the bomb, Jan already killed it.

With combat over you hear a squeaky invisible voice..

"My abilities are cashed for the day. We must find a place to rest here, or teleport back to the icy swamp ladies place."

Jan groans.

"Can we head back to Alkenstar instead? I know a nice little tavern where the beer is cold and the waitresses are willing. Nice crowd too, there's no more than one knifing a night."

"I do not have that ability. I changed my location for my teleport spell to the Ice Ladies lair."

Does it appear that there might be a place to rest here unaccosted?

There's quite a few rooms. Of course there's also a dick GM and a bunch of giant guards. .

"So we might get lucky and find a place here to stay and go unnoticed. I doubt it though. The other option is to teleport back and come back tomorrow and risk more guards being in place etc.. What do yall think?"

We'll just assume you pop back to the frozen place with the lady so you can rest safely. Also in the interest of expediency, we'll have a teleport scroll among your loot so you can return.

Well that was less than fun. This place is terrible. Anyone else notice that?

i will be reupped for a new day in about 10 minutes. I will start the day taking my mutagen...well once we are ready to teleport that is

Hmm, I hope someone has use magic device, or I'll need something other than a scroll of teleport.

Boom has UMD +20

1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33 UMD when the time comes

That will be plenty, you can TP back without any issue.

"Vacation. That's what we need."

You are back and recharged. Where to now?

Bo recats his extended versions on Heroism, See Invis, and Heightned Awareness.

Once back he will search the two rooms before trying x14 and the room beside it.

Yap will casts extended FoM on himself and Extended Communal Air Walk on everyone but himself. Lasts 70 mins each.

Nothing exciting in this room.

X14: The southern wall of this otherwise empty chamber shimmers and glows, a wall of swirling golden mist rather than the polished stone seen elsewhere in the complex. Now and then strange shapes can be half-seen through the mist.

Boom downs his false greater

2d10 + 17 ⇒ (6, 2) + 17 = 25

Arcana get me anything?

1d20 + 29 ⇒ (19) + 29 = 48

It's a portal. A close look seems to indicate it takes you back to the city of Xin Shalast.

Perception: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38

Anything interesting in the room?

Nah.

Bo starts moving, checking doors and working his way down towards x16.

A 20-foot-tall golden statue of Karzoug, Runelord of Greed, stands in the southern portion of this chamber, his hands before him as if they may have once held an object between them. A brazier stands before the statue, plumes of smokeless fire churning inside of it. North of the statue stands a stone pagoda-like structure, a single opening in its southern face revealing two smaller statues of Karzoug within, on either side of a twenty- foot-long sarcophagus bearing the likeness of the runelord on its golden lid. To the west, a massive pair of golden double doors shimmers behind a hazy screen of golden energy.

There are two gargantuan critters here guarding the place.

This enormous, bestial demon combines the worst aspects of a bear, a mantis, a wolf, and a reptilian humanoid.

Knowledge planes for ID

init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Jan sighs.

Trench fighter is kinda nuts. Even if I had to use the Mosin Nagant.
