Great, spell casting giants. I hate those.
Tirion replies to Bandersnatch's query ...
It was dimension door.
Bandersearches the room
looks like the halfling brothers did it again! Sent him running scared!
Then he loads his fireball wand into the empty wrist sheathe
This is...vexing. Do you normally have enemies run? Most of mine seem to think that hitting me until I kill them is the way to go.
If you look closer at Jan's face, you totally believe that - his nose may have been broken several times - with a noseguard on his helemt.
Never did the room description.
This vast chamber might have once been a lecture hall, but now the place is empty of furniture. Six five-foot-wide pillars, each carved with spiraling patterns of runes, rise up to support the hundred- foot-high ceiling. Spread through the hall in neatly organized stacks and piles are arcane trappings, candles, books, scrolls, knives, and bundles of powders and ingredients—the entire place looks like an arcanist’s laboratory or storeroom. At the west end of the room, a wide flight of stairs rises up to a stone door in the wall, just north of a twenty- foot-wide stage. Here sits a large mound of furs, an immense chair, and a table stacked high with more book and scrolls. An ironbound chest sits under the table against the far wall.
"We should probably worry about loot later and find that giant before he has a chance to heal.."
Bo moves up the stairs to the door.. He awaits his comrades at the door..
"I have heard of a spell called Dimensional Anchor; this bad-guy escaping thing seems to happen often enough that perhaps we should get a wand of it!"
he pulls out his scroll of Clairvoyance, and indicates the stone door at the top of the stairs:
"You don't suppose the big runt simply beamed to the other side of this door, do you? Shall I take a look?"
"Whatever you think will help.."
"By that, I mean shall I use my scroll of Clairvoyance to look on the other side of the stone door atop the stairs!"
There is a rubble clogged passage on the other side of the door. The Giant would not have survived trying to dimension door into there.
Do you mean in your current room or beyond the door? You'd have to open the door for the latter (there's nothing in there, just so we don't waste time).
Bander: The books and stuff appears to amount to a fair amount of value, but would be a challenge to transport. The chest is not trapped.
to unlock the chest
appraise
The chest under his desk contains 12,000 gp, 1,100 pp, an amber and sapphire necklace worth 4,000 gp, a set of ivory rune stones worth 1,400 gp, and a scroll of contact other plane.
Brother why don't you hold onto this scroll!
"We're certainly not going to leave it here..."
the scroll of Contact Other Plane goes into Tirion's collection.
Tirion will also reload his revolver.
Bander comes back into sight and moves sneakily to the hall. Once he gets to the door at the center of the map [ooc] assuming the party is nearby-ish
he reactivates his shield, then his shadow clones then he
He sneakily listens at the door then peaks through it s he cracks it open
clones
percep
You don't hear anything from beyond the door, and it is locked.
take 10 for 34
By the time it's unlocked everyone should be around
As you unlock it, the door’s surface to become suffused with a dull gray glow. The glow rapidly brightens to a near-blinding intensity, and then two strange figures floats out of the door’s surface. They seems humanoid, but it’s hard to tell since they shed harsh, blinding light. The creatures begins screaming, not stopping even to catch their breath as it drifts forward to attack.
Initiative time.
Knowledge planes to identify.
Was this a trap? I assume trap spotter missed it then?
init
Not a trap, it was the critters hiding in the door.
Oh yeah, forgot their init.
Well this will end well
Jan will look at the terrifying monsters and sigh.
WHY ARE THEY YELLING?!
"Demented creatures obviously.."
They are Shining Children. Evil outsiders. You didn't manage to get anything extra.
Ok, critters first then.
Everyone gets to make 2 fortitude saves DC 25 or be permanently blind.
Then one will cast a spell.
The other will try to bad touch Bander.
pop
tag fire
PCs are up.
Blind. Awesome.

Those I suspect will all miss so not gonna bother rolling miss chance. Bander then steps back and calls out
Pixel! I can't see!
You are correct, they all miss.
duh!
Without a moment's hesitation, Tirion averts his eyes, pulls his potion of Remove Blindness/Deafness, and slurps it down...
Also, Vanishing Trick/Invisible Blade as a Swift action.
Jan is blind as well.
This is going great! I'm blind as well!
Jan will retreat into total defense.
blind..
Yapp will remove his blindness this round..
Bo will full attack one of the evil things.. Bane as a swift, grit as a free.. Extra attack from BoF..
firing steel..
When the smoke clears nothing has happened. All the bullets deflected off of an invisible wall.
Shining Children have no specific vulnerabilities. To be nice I'll mention they resist cold and sonic.
spell?
You think it is an invisible wall spell thingy. (failed).
How exactly did Yap ID the wall of force being cast when he was blind and didn't do a Spellcraft?
Yap was still blind at the time the wall was cast so he doesn't know what it was. He can still try to dispel it if he likes. (critterss can blind as a free action)
Ok, I suppose he could know it is a wall of force. Not sure he can do anything to it.
