I'm gonna finish forgetting how to post here at this rate.

Considering you and Cherry are up, I had wondered if you did already.

WHOOPS: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (5) + 28 = 33

Att 3: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19
dam: 1d10 + 34 ⇒ (2) + 34 = 36

Ulthar will keep going after that guy who stole his style.

Confirm?: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (19) + 23 = 42
Dam if confirm: 2d10 + 68 ⇒ (10, 3) + 68 = 81

He's just so mad about it he swings, like really powerful attack-ily, penalty and all.

Sileth: Hit, hit, hit, he's probably looked better. Nothing vital hit (no sneaks)

Marckus: Hit, miss, miss, hit, miss, hit, miss looking fairly hacked up

Ulthar: miss, miss, hit, miss, confirms, not quite dead

Still waiting on Cherry

A very old man slowwwllllyyyyyy walks around the corner.

There you fellows are! He is very old, he also has a symbol of Sarenrae around his neck which is a big 'Do not smite, friendly.' sign for any confused folk.

The queen told me I should help you people but you all ran off without me! Took me so long ta find ya!

He waves his hands sllooowwwwlly. Blessings of Sarenrae upon you!

PCs are up

Noonan flinches as he is smacked in the face by the big hairy guy's liver.

sorry.. Will post tomorrow

Ulthar's still awake. Luckily sporting his back-up liver as a fashionable new fanny pack, but still attached.

Noonan very quickly totters over to Ulthar and casts 'Heal' on him.

130 healed

Marckus, still feeling like a bird.

first time running up against a high-lvl alchemist...the damage output of the bombs is pretty significant especially when considering it's no save, no SR and basically an autohit vs touch ac

Seeing Ulthar almost blown to bits Sileth continues his attack on the mean bomber and seeing as the villain is seeing through his invisibility Sileth casts a Mirror Image as an added layer of protection.

apply cover penalty if necessary

Marckus: hit, hit, miss, miss, miss
but all the missing is moot since hit 2 puts it down

Sileth also puts the bomber down.

If Ulthar ever decides to post an attack, we might just finish this combat.

That would be pretty out-of-character though.

True, why break with tradition?

It looks like Ulthar has to move to reach #5, so he'll go for them with a big boy swing.

Charge: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (8) + 30 = 38
Dam: 1d10 + 34 ⇒ (5) + 34 = 39

Huh? you're 10' away and have gumby arms.

I moved already

Well I suppose I shouldn't complain since it killed it (well close enough, need to move on).

The rest of the flunkies in the keep run for it.

Now you need to deal with the glyph.

It is in a large room set up as an alchemist lab.

The magical symbol emits a field of foreboding, as if warning that
none will be permitted to pass, no matter the righteousness of
their cause.

Righteousness? You got the wrong group.
"Let's blow it up."

Is it a talking petri dish?

knowledge: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Local (Int)____+23{+14rank,+6Int, +3Class}
Arcana(Int)____+23{14+rank,+6Int, +3Class}
Dungeoneering (Int)____+23{+14rank,+6Int, +3Class}
Nature(Int)____+20{+14rank,+6Int}
Planes (Int)____+23{14+rank,+6Int, +3Class}
Religion(Int)____+20{+14rank,+6Int}

Well, we certainly have the Wrath part down.

Know-Relion: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29

You decipher it (Sileth) and you need a sense motive check to figure out what needs to be done.

sense motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Noonan tries to show these whippersnappers the proper way to make something tell the truth.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Slick.

This is how Marckus would do it.
Intimidate (tell me the truth): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (18) + 26 = 44

Sense motive, is sense motive, not intimidate. However Noonan actually made the necessary check.

However, as even a blind squirrel will sometimes find an acorn, intimidate is the skill used to deactivate the rune, and Marckus lucks into it with his normal bullying self.
He needs 2 more checks, but can't actually fail them, so he deactivates the glyph by intimidating it using a series of ferocious belches.

This gains him a +4 insight bonus for 24 hours (which I will find some way to use up quickly).

Now I need to re-stat the final encounter area.

Hoho! The rune of patheticality. I have triumphed again for the first time.

So, who will we be smiting for great justice?

"Smiting what? I just broke its feelings."

"I think they're drow. Probably."

Noonan channels to heal the boo-boos
Heal: 9d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 5, 1, 3, 2, 5, 3) = 34

It committed Hara-kiri rather than interact with you..Well done Marckus

Noonan falls asleep. Senior sleep time and all.

Sorry, been lazy. Should get all the conversion done tomorrow and make a post.

Ulthar and Sir Wiggly tuck Noonan in because he is teaching Wiggly to respect his elders.

Ulthar and Sir Wiggly tuck Noonan in because he is teaching Wiggly to respect his elders. And healers.

Martha..bring me my prune juice.

You guys should level up to 15 now.

Alright.

"Martha? Where did you hear that name?!"

Mm..Nice lady at Sarenrae's Home for Tired Adventurers

"I understand. I too have a mother named Martha."

"I had a wench named Martha."

Oh! So Marckus is Ulthar's father! How nice to see a family come together to save others.

Yeah, this team is all about the altruism.

So now it is time to head for the final boss fight, her I mean the seat of power of Allevrah Azrinae. Your Charda buddies are happy to provide a guide once more to get you there (which means you walk at least to the shore of the underwater sea in which sits the island of the Throne of Abraxus) <dun dun dun!>

You'll have to decide how to handle it once you're there. You can see the island in the distance from where the guide has brought you (took a couple of days).

I can Air Walk us there.Air Walk, Communal
