Dancing fool continues to dance.

NPC cleric lady is still casting but is looking worried about that dance.

Sileth probably remembers that it takes 3 rounds, which means boom next round.

Blessing of Fervor: Movement (movement speed 95')

I pop back into visibility as the spell ends, everyone sees me cast a spell Communal Resist Energy and quickly travel around the room and touch everyone I can including the nice people helping us.

Everyone gets Energy Resistance, Electricty (30) for at least 10 minutes, not sure how many people are in there helping us but I can hit 12 people.

WHich is why he's been trying to do something about it, although rather unsuccessfully. But we're all a bunch of evasion-monkeys so hopefully we'll be ok....maybe

Guys be ready...Those Vrocks are about to go BOOM....in a bad way, for us

edit:just noticed Taedos coming to the rescue

So, there are still four vrocks?

4 dancing Vrocks, yes. One has 1 image left of mirror image.

Assuming nobody is dead from that with all the rogue levels and Improved Evasion. Delaying to see if I need to do anything like breath of life or channel.

Assuming everyone has Improved Evasion as well so only half damage if you failed the save minus the 30 resistance so worst cast -10 HP

I didn't expect it to do much to you lot. I did expect it to disrupt the spell.

Why didn't we just shut the door?

Ulthar?

Sorry, had a weird issue getting signed out yesterday. If I'm right, Ulthar should be able to move 5-ft and be able to full-attack #7 through Marckus. ETA on a potion... uhh. Heroism sounds good? I'll probably regret it later but lets go with that.

Marckus goes after the vrock against the wall because of his cool rogue talent that makes that count as flanking.

Sorry, had a busy day yesterday. Only updated some of my games.

The lady in back tries a new approach and manages to get the spike back in the wall, which is stone again, and the demon shrieks in pain and flies out a window as it beings to burn with an arcane blue fire.

Combat over.

What is left of the Winter Council thanks you for helping them save their redoubt. They also help explain the notes you found on the ritual to drop a rock on Golarion. Then they also explain that the Winter Council is over and wish you join you heading back to the grand elvish trailer park.

Module over, level up.

I've got a bit of reading to do for the next (and last) section.

"Gather around everyone and I'll top off your health. Does anyone mind if we rest here for the night before heading back out?"

Ulthar +25HP

You are able to get back to the elfgate and to trailer park central. There, you and the former Winter Council members are able to see the queen.

After explaining what you've discovered, she brings in scholars and you all get to work figuring out what you're up against precisely and where you need to go to stop it all.

After much discussion and debate the conclusion is that Allevrah is down in Orv. That's the deepest and nastiest of the Darklands. The Drow level you were on earlier is rather more akin to a kiddie park compared to Orv. You will have to go to a place called 'Land of the Black Blood' and find out the locations in which she is carving glyphs which will cause the new skyfall.

You are given some instructions on how to get down there, and are pointed to a guide, a shaitan who dwells down there named Haiten Bhaq.

You will need to determine how you want to get down there exactly. Also before you go the Queen pulls out her credit card and says you can each load up on potions or scrolls (or other magic items of a unique nature- no stat stuff of course and I will review requests) to the tune of 10000 GP each.

Thanks your Highness your largeness

Sileth promptly goes wand shopping

are partially charged wands available 25, 10, 5 etc?

sure

Wait. So we're given directions how to get there but we need to decide how to get there?

Yes. It's a bit of a long voyage since you're got to trek down through the upper levels of the darklands.

If you can think of shortcuts, it's probably a good idea (magical and such).

Is teleport from one the the court mages who is familiar with the area an option?

While I like that idea, this is the bottom level of the darklands. Not many people are familiar with the area (visiting there and coming back to tell of it, is a very rare thing).

However if you think about that idea a bit more, you might find a solution.

This is my proposed shopping list: (let me know if anything is not available)
4500 First Aid Gloves (I recommend these to everyone)
1800 Wand of lesser restoration (20 charges)
750 Oil of Daylight
750 Wand of cure light wounds
750 Wand of cure light wounds
750 Wand of endure elements
150 Wand of remove sickness (10 charges)
150 Wand of keep watch (10 charges)
150 Wand of remove fear (10 charges)
150 Wand of unbreakable heart (10 charges)

As far as getting down to the bottom of the Darklands: Is there any permanent gate to that level that we can find on another level? I mean they must have a way of going back and forth between the levels so we just go to the level above the last, find the gate or stairs down and go to the bottom. We're pretty good at sneaking or using the disguise to get by, heck even riding the gecko things again down the rabbit hole.

You folks took an elf gate to get out of the Drow zone. However you don't have the drow skin option for use again, and it may well be guarded.

I think we have some of that bad drow lady's old possessions right?
Isn't there a thing we can do to find her/teleport nearby using that?

Although I have to say I like the idea of us all grabbing riding lizards and just doing a high-speed chase all the way down.

Those first aid gloves do look pretty cool.
I'm thinking so far I want an Amulet of Mighty Fists (elf bane), a few potions of Fly, a potion of Invisibility, and a few Whip Feather Tokens.

I think we have some of that bad drow lady's old possessions right?

While that is an even better idea than mine (classic scry and fry), as she's a high level caster, Mind Blank is pretty much mandatory if you're not a fool, and that prevents scrying.

However the idea is solid.

My personal favorite is the Tree feather token because they're hilarious.

I agree on the first aid gloves, even if they sound like they were designed for glam metal. It clashes with Ulthars power metal style.

I'm looking at a few potions personally.

Infernal healing is better charge-for-charge. We'd only have to rest for 15 minutes or less to heal everyone back to full that way.
If we all bring trees we could have a hilarious instant forest. Or grove. Copse maybe.

Wracking my brain for a quick travel solution.... Alas my character is WAY smarter than I

You have a location and some description of a person you are to meet.

Scrying is available from one of the court mages.

Can we bind an earth elemental and burrow the whole way down?
