Game Master Balacertar

Kikinnin does not let himself fool by the Cagewright's illusions, averting his eyes, he avoids the images and hits twice on the wizard, opening horrible gashes on his chest.

Marigold's spiritual weapon is misslead by the images.

Maxim though recovers his wits and his magic missiles barrage sends the proud but skinny wizard to the ground!

Combat is over!
The confusion effect keeps going for 14 rounds though!

K12. SCRYING CHAMBER
This perfectly circular room is featureless save for an irregular smear of black ice that covers the center of the floor. Even from a distance the ice seems filled with distant and shadowy images.

"That's it, Bror! You're back, eh? Not like the boy, though. Strange magic, that makes you hit yourself. JJ, stop hitting yourself." Kikinnin looks at Marigold, and shrugs his shoulders. "Is there anything we can do to stop him? Or do we just let the magic wear off? Is he cursed? I can help, if he is. Abadar can see to it."

Kikinnin looks over the Cagewright's wares, taking a mental inventory. Before they leave the room, they should mete out the magics so they're stronger yet for what's to come.

"What do we do about the black ice? If Fetor holed himself up with it, is it valuable to us to use, or valuable enough to the Cagewrights to destroy it?"

The black beard watches in dismay as Maxim and JJ continue to struggle with Abradius's affliction. He moves to close the door to the hallway, but debates the Watchers' placement. "Marigold, Kythel, maybe it's best if you step outside the room, and let me close the door. I keep seeing wildness behind the pair's eyes. They may hurt themselves for awhile, but I'd like to avoid them hurting the rest of you."

If Marigold and Kythel are amenable, Kikinnin walls off the Confused, and stands in front of the door, taking Total Defense. He doesn't know exactly how long he'll have to wait. He also doesn't know if he'll need to brain either of them unconscious to make them more pliable.

"M-Maxim said s-something about a c-c-confusion spell? I c-can't dispel it, b-but I could t-try to b-break the enchantment..." Marigold offers as Kikinnin is quick to shield her and Kythel from JJ and Maxim's strange and destructive behavior.

If we don't want to wait for it to wear off on its own, Marigold can try Break Enchantment to end the madness a bit sooner. If we do want her to try...

Break Enchantment (CL Check): 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 1 = 17 Probably not going to cut it...

[spoiler=confusion]
what: 14d100 ⇒ (80, 14, 5, 32, 55, 30, 15, 48, 26, 50, 3, 31, 78, 37) = 504

1:Attack nearest (going to assume folk have moved away so JJ can only get one attack in.

"Oh, he's disguised himself as one of us... I'm onto it!"
attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28
damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

2-3:Act normally.
"I'm sorry... I don't know what I'm doing, let me get away from you until this dies down."
Hopefully enough to stop others getting hurt

4: BabbleI'm useless. Can't stop hurting myself and my friends. What did I even come here?" bursts out JJ in a sob of tears.

5:"I'll kill myself, then I'm no danger to others!"
self damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

6: "I can' even do that properly. Useless. USELESS!"

7: drops Alakast in the hope he won't hurt himself so much without a weapon in hand, tries to get some rope from his bag to tie himself up with.

8-10: "I'm sorry Alast. You deserve someone better."

11: Takes hope in hand and tries to tie himself up quickly.
athletics?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

12: "Stupid rope. Won't work properly."

13: ARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATE You all, why won't you help me"
Assuming nobody is in range, JJ runs back toward the group, hopefully hobbled by his rope.

14:"You all hate me. Nobody loves me. "

And then he finally calms down.

"Oh, he's disguised himself as one of us... I'm onto it!"

Kikinnin raises his shield to receive the boy's addled attack, letting Alakast ping off at an angle. Once the boy gets his aggression out, he seems to act about as normally as he usually does, so the dwarf lets his guard down.

Regretfully break enchantment requires 1 minute to cast

Ah, I always forget that. In that case it looks like we're waiting things out!

Once all the excitement has finally died down, Marigold is finally able to take stock of the strange patch of black ice in the room - as well as of their spoils.

Kn. Arcana (DC 15): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

"Oh! Th-the ice is a st-stronger version of the sc-scrying lattice we f-found earlier," Marigold blinks. "W-wonder who or wh-what Abradius was sp-spying on?"

Kikinnin cocks his head. "Could we use it to look around Carin Curl?"

"Um...I d-don't really know, arcane m-magic is a l-little outside my wh-wheelhouse b-but we can t-try it and s-see," Marigold replies, a little uncertain. "Wh-what do you th-think, M-Maxim?"

Given scrying works by visualizing a creature's environment, you will need to know about a creature in Karran Kural to study the location

Kikinnin steps to the black ice, and thinks on the fire giant, Dugobras. If the black ice shows any signs of activity, the black beard will observe what he can, before he changes his thoughts, to what was predicted to be here in Karran Kural- an undead green dragon lich, by the name of Dittziss Bale.

...

Feeling the thrumming power of Eldgammel, Kikinnin breaks away from the black ice, and proceeds back down the corridor, to the next awaiting door. He doesn't like the narrow halls, so he waves his companions to remain around the turn in the intersection, until he's opened the door and examined what lies beyond.

JJ sheepishly returns to the ground, rope twisting between his hands.

"Uhhh, sorry... not too sure what came over me. I feel a bit more myself now though.."

He pokes at the mages amulet. "I could use that... it looks like a better version of my existing one, if anyone doesn't have a single enchanted one already that is.."

+2Amulet of natural armor looks like best bet for JJ, and frees up a +1 for someone else. He could also use the +3 cloak of resistance as a small upgrade - and that would also free up his +2 if anyone could use it.

Apologies gang - was traveling back to UK from UAE. Yesterday was a "lost day"... Back in the saddle now.

Maxim shakes his head at his Bror's comment as he sheathes his wand;

"Still addled Bror... Just ain't bendin' as much as Surabar there... I got me a spell that might remove the enchantment. Just need to keep my wits a might longer... Ware tho' the spell will function for some time to come... "

The gun-mage's words trail off as he begins to babble to himself, before recovering (Rounds 3-4)

He then draws his pistol, attempting to snap JJ out of the spell with a pistol whipping!

Maxim then focusses - and attempts to cast his spell - to remove JJ's confused state;

(Round 5 attack (presuming JJ dodges), Rounds 6-9 acts normal, will belay doing actions beyond that until the Dispel attempt is resolved)

"Verdrijven Magie! (Gnome: Dispel Magic!)

Dispel Check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 (DC = 11 + the spell's caster level)

Kikinnin maintains JJ and Maxim at bay time enough for the dwarf to recover his wits and dispel the effect!

When Kikinnin places the hand on the scrying artifact and starts to use it as indicated by Marigold, he realizes it will take an hour to cast the spell.
Before we move onto the next door business... do you nevertheless remain two hours, one per casting, searching for your intended targets?

While Kikinnin further examines the scrying device Marigold realizes, with a start, that she'd completely forgotten about the group's injuries - including her own.

"Oh, I'm s-sorry! We need to p-patch ourselves up before we g-go any further!"

She does what she can to heal some of the wounds taken in the last battle.

Cure Light Wounds, Mass: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 Really -_-

"D-does that help?"

"Ahh, yes, thanks. I think I did my worst injury to myself.." says the somewhat shamefaced youth.

"Do we have time to cast spells that long? Many of our protections won't last..."

Thanks for the botting DM!

Kythel cracks his neck as in this combat he took the brunt of the enemy ire for a change. He grimaces as he feels JJ contniue to strike himself here and there taking damage each time this ally does so. "Agreed Marigold. Healing is in order".

Kythel begins by healing himself - Cure Serious Wounds 3d8 + 10 ⇒ (4, 3, 2) + 10 = 19 + 50% = 29

He then follows up with a Cure Moderate 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (3, 1) + 10 = 14 + 50% = 21 on himself and a Cure Light Wounds on JJ 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 + 50% = 9and Marigold 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 + 50% = 15.

Kikinnin pulls his hand back, when Marigold informs him of the time bleed to perform the ritual snooping. "Ah, we don't have time for that, right now. Maybe after we've seen this through, we'd be able to come back here, like Fetor did. Probably best not to use it too much, otherwise we might go as made as the Cagewright."

Next Door Business, it is :)

@Kythel: I forgot to apply shield other during the last combat. I fixed JJ and your HP accordingly and assumed you used that CLW on you instead of JJ who was in better shape in the end. If you wish so, feel free to add more healing on you to fix the higher damage.

Once healed the Watchers open the remaining door in this crossroads corridor.

K11. Cagewright Guardian
This large room is filled with a tangled lattice of icy strands and beams that stretches from wall to wall, floor to ceiling, and everywhere in between.

Amidst the lattices, a single lithe, toothy creature with jet-black skin that looks like living tar, has claws that drip ooze and cap its long arms.

The creature looks at you with true fury "મને આ જેલમાં બંધન આપવા બદલ તમે પૈસા ચૂકવશો! હું તને નફરત કરુ છુ! હું તમને હાએતે !!! હું તમને હઆએએટીએટીઇ !!! ડીઆઈઆઈઆઈઆઈઇઇઇઇ!"

The creature brings his ooze dripping shortswords up.

Marigold: 118/118 hp, endure elements 24 h, water breathing 21 min, resist energy 20 (cold) 14 min, aid 10 min
JJ: 123/129 hp, endure elements 24 h, water breathing 21 min, resist energy 10 (cold) 41 min, aid 10 min, shield other 10 h
Maxim: 91/91 hp, endure elements 24 h, resist energy 20 (cold) 14 min, aid 10 min
Kikinnin: 148/148 hp, water breathing 25 min, resist energy 20 (cold) 14 min, bull strength 3 min, aid 10 min
Kythel: 102/129 hp, endure elements 24 h, water breathing 21 min, resist energy 20 (cold) 14 min, aid 10 min
Round 1: Kikinnin, Kythel, Maxim, Foe, Marigold, JJ

Mind your lattice friends: roll a Escape Artist DC 25 to avoid touching them. Moving at half speed reduces the DC by 10 and moving extremely carefully (five feed per round or less) reduces it by 20 (if you take a movement action, because a 5' step will be considered full speed)

Kn. Planes (DC 23): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

"ಓಹ್, ಮತ್ತೊಂದು ರಾಕ್ಷಸ-ವಿಷಯ!? ಅದು ಏನು ಎಂದು ನನಗೆ ಖಚಿತವಿಲ್ಲ ಆದರೆ ಅದು ಹುಚ್ಚನಂತೆ ತೋರುತ್ತದೆ!"

planes: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

"What is that thing? It speaks the language of demons, but it looks more undead to me.."

"મૂર્ખ, અમે તમને અહીં બાંધ્યા નથી. પરંતુ જો તમારે મરવું હોય, તો અમે તે ગોઠવી શકીએ છીએ." He spits back at the creature.

Round 1

Let's see if this might work...

Kikinnin sees the complications before them, so shatters the first space in front of him to make room hopefully allowing a clean 5' step, before leveling the rest of his Full Round attack at adjacent spaces, to make room for the others to step lively.

Would try to pop as many squares as possible, so the first two forward, and the one square Maxim is occupying. Of course, the GM oversees this PC maneuver...

JJ can apply his Abyss bonus to the knowledge roll and while fighting this creature

"Ughhh I remember now. Tarry Demodand! They are bred for battle - swift and deadly! Things are damned near impossible to kill. Enchanted holy weapons are the best way" here he pats Alakast. "But they are immune to acid and poison, and resistant to magic, fire and cold. Kikinnin beware for they harness chaos as much as evil and as a servant of Abadar you may be vulnerable to their powers."

He looks at it, disgusted.

"And any weapon touching them... likely sticks to their foul bodies."

Kikinnin delivers a powerful strike breaking the first set of lattices, then stepping over it and making collapse another two 5 feet sections.

Maxim follows after him and finds himself more easily than he expected within the lattices. Might he shot or conjure a spell?

The creature answers back JJ "તમે આ થિયરીન લુવેલ જેવો દેખાડો છો જેમણે મને અહીં બોલાવ્યો અને ફસાવી દીધો! તમારે તેના આદિજાતિમાંથી હોવા જોઈએ. કોને ચિંતા છે?! હું ડેથ મોર્ટલ્સનો સશસ્ત્ર છું અને તમે મારા દુશ્મનો છો!"

Marigold: 118/118 hp, endure elements 24 h, water breathing 21 min, resist energy 20 (cold) 14 min, aid 10 min
JJ: 123/129 hp, endure elements 24 h, water breathing 21 min, resist energy 10 (cold) 41 min, aid 10 min, shield other 10 h
Maxim: 91/91 hp, endure elements 24 h, resist energy 20 (cold) 14 min, aid 10 min
Kikinnin: 148/148 hp, water breathing 25 min, resist energy 20 (cold) 14 min, bull strength 3 min, aid 10 min
Kythel: 102/129 hp, endure elements 24 h, water breathing 21 min, resist energy 20 (cold) 14 min, aid 10 min
Round 1: Kikinnin, Kythel, Maxim (standard), Foe, Marigold, JJ

Ok, given Kikinnin made some room, Maxim can reach his position and still has a standard action to do some stuff if he wishes

"એકમાત્ર મૃત્યુ તમે જ ખાશો." spits back JJ.

"પરંતુ જો તમે મને થિરેન લુવેલ વિશે વધુ કહો તો હું તેનો આત્મા તમને પાતાળમાં જોડાવા મોકલીશ અને તમે ત્યાં તેની સાથે રમકડા કરી શકો છો." he then adds as an afterthought.

Round 1

Am cool with the OOC ruling re: movement.

Maxim moves forward to the edge of the room as his bror presses toward their foe... (10ft Move Action).

The gun-mage reaches for the broad shouldered warrior ahead of him, muttering an incantation as he does;

"Bloed van helden ontwaakt!" (Gnome: "Blood of heroes awaken!")

... clapping his glowing hand upon the armoured back of his bror.

(Standard Action - Cast Heroism Kikinnin. He gains a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saves, and skill checks for 80 minutes... Tarry ye not :)

Round 1

Kythel will move to the middle of the group and cast a spell to aid in combat.

Blessing of Fervor!
Kythel will gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.

Maxim moves next to Kikinnin and Kythel approaches to ask a fervor blessing for the Watchers.

The creature laughs maniacally and points towards you. A multicolored explosion of leaping, ricocheting energy explodes among you, damaging and potentially slowing Kikinnin, Maxim, Kythel and JJ.
Will DC 17 for half and to ignore slow. Only affects lawful characters, and neutral (non-chaotic) receive half the damage. See chaos hammer
Untyped damage: 5d8 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 5, 5) = 19

Kythel: 102/129 hp, endure elements 24 h, water breathing 21 min, resist energy 20 (cold) 14 min, aid 10 min
Round 1: Marigold, JJ Round 2: Kikinnin, Kythel, Maxim (standard), Demodand

Marigold's Round 1

Though she frowns at the explosion of energy that cascades over her friends and directly in front of her there's a flicker of relief across Marigold's face when she realizes that at least the damage done isn't too terrible.

Rather than attempt to press forward and risk getting in Kikinnin or JJ's way, she instead decides to hold her position at the back of the group and call upon Sarenrae to aid them.
______________

Marigold will stay where she is and cast Prayer~

will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
JJ shrugs off the effect of the colours after a moment or two.
Not lawful, and saved, quarter damage?
JJ moves up to the free space created by Kikinnin and then smashes another square of the latice.

My understanding of the blessing is that, unlike haste, it doesn't give you a bonus move you can take, so I can't move and full attack, so likely just one space destroyed. Kikin maybe able to 5' step into that and do a full attack to clear more though. I'm not 100% clear on which squares are latice at the moment, and which are not.

Yeah, it just gives you extra movement speed but not an extra move action or anything like that.

Round 2

Blessing of Fervor for +2s

Will Save v DC 17: 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 17 + 1 + 2 = 29

Kikinnin doesn't like the demodand's presence any more than he likes the Lattice preventing easy movement through this room. The hate emanating from the guardian is visceral, and it makes the black beard wonder how the spellweavers kept it from attacking them when they tripped through the room, themselves.

"Hey, JJ, you should translate what it's saying, to the rest of us. Uh, anything useful, I guess I should add."

Kikinnin wishes the demodand all sorts of discomfort, courtesy of Abadar. Swift to Smite Then he moves through the least number of squares in the room to get alongside the evil thing, and give it an introductory smack.

Eldgammel+3, Power Attack, Bull's Strength, Prayer, Heroism, Smite, BoF: 1d20 + 18 + 3 - 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 18 + 3 - 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 2 = 49 for 1d10 + 5 + 3 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 3 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 24 = 49 damage
Confirm Critical?: 1d20 + 18 + 3 - 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 3 - 4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 5 = 37 for 2d10 + 10 + 6 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 48 ⇒ (8, 6) + 10 + 6 + 16 + 4 + 2 + 48 = 100 damage

Reflex Save v DC23: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 29

"He named his summoner. Thearynn Louve. Said we looked like him so we should die. I suggested he tell us more about Louve, so we could send his soul to join Mr 'I have not bathed for too long' in the abyss after we return him there."

Marigold observes the spell hammering her companions and brings up a prayer to compensate.

JJ and Kikinnin shrug the effects of the chaos hammer, the young man specially not affected.

They then team up to open a way through the nasty lattices so Kikinnin can reach the creature and deliver a powerful smiting strike that chops its neck. Kikinnin notes his axe seems to stick in the neck of the demodand but he quickly retrieves back the weapon. Surprisingly, the Tarry Demodand seems to survive with his neck half cut.

It looks at Kikinnin with a mixture of confusion, horror and hate.

"Finish it! Don't let it recover!!" Kikinnin admires the wide gouge, and recognizes his friends' part in making sure Eldgammel drank deep.

Round 2

Will save DC 17 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 = 21

Kythel will use one of his offensive spells as a follow up.

Kikinnin lattice damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 I forgot this

A sudden column of fire and divine power erupts in the room, breaking and ruining the lattices all along its falling height, cleaning that space of the unholy ice.
Kythel SR check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
The heretical soul of the Demodand seems to protect him against the divine power that fails to damage him.

Maxim does something heroic.

"અન્ય કેજરાઇટ્સે મારા ક્રોધને છોડવા માટે ટેલિપોર્ટેડ કર્યું, પણ તમે મરી જશો, બરાબર મને અહીં બંધાયેલા વિઝાર્ડનો ડરપોક કરશે! ના! મારી પાસે તેના માટે કંઈક ખાસ છે! તમારો વારો !!!!" the Demodand starts to spin his swords trying to cut away Kikinnin.

Kikinnin blocks three of the attacks while Marigold's blessing protects the dwarf from a couple more of them, but the whirlwind of blades cuts twice on him, just before being surprised by an oozing bite! You feel the blade attempting to steal your faith in Abadar.

Round 3

Kikinnin tests his faith, healing himself swiftly, before stepping into the opened space in the room. "Much obliged, Kythel!! More room to dance..." Swift Action to Lay on Hands

Will Save v DC 22: 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 17 + 1 + 2 = 28
LoH, Greater Mercy: 7d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 5, 5, 1, 5, 5) = 26

Feeling better about the situation, Kikinnin swings away, careful to get his blade back on every slash.

The black beard allows a low growl of satisfaction to leave his lungs, as Eldgammel continues to bait the demon's sticky flesh, never allowing itself to wedge awkwardly between bone, but to sever with each swing...

With a final push Kikinin throws himself over the Demodand and cuts it into pieces until it falls to the charcoaled ground.

Combat is over!

"W-wow, nice j-job," Marigold whistles as she comes trotting into the somewhat-clear room. "Th-that right there is one of the m-many reasons you d-don't mess around with s-summoning demons and d-devils and the l-like. Even c-celestials should b-be treated with c-care and respect if you c-call on them."

"Everyone still okay? K-Kikinnin?"

"Nice job Kikinnin. I'll just hang round back here and cut my nails!" whistles an appreciative JJ.

"Or was it bang my head?"

"His name was Olarithusk, apparently the cagewrights summoned him, so he is not an old guardian by any means. The other cagewrights teleported away."

Kikinnin nods a single time over the fallen blasphemy. "The Cagewrights are a piece of work. Trucking with ice devils, and tarry demodands... and we still haven't set eyes on the lich." He wipes off what he can of the tar, though he leaves a spot of it, in case it supports his argument with further guardians.

"So the Cagewrights knew enough of this place to avoid their own guardians, eh? They left Fetor to his own devices. I'm glad to burn the evil from this place, but we didn't get much information out of Abradius. Are we gonna try and destroy the Soul Pillars, when we find them? Just gathering my thoughts."

Still soaked in supportive magics, Kikinnin doesn't waste time standing and talking. He keeps hacking at obstructive Lattice, in case they have to book a straight retreat across this room, before he tries the opposite door. Looking to create a straight line of destroyed Lattice from door to door. Only after everyone is ready to march onwards, of course.

Kythel enters the room moving slowly towards Kikinnin avoiding the latticework that is left and lays a healing upon himself and the dwarf.

"Pharasma be blessed, her hands work through mine to keep us all alive. Tis a good thing as little else I try seems to work on these horrible Fiends!

These Cagewrights are formidable foes indeed".

Cure Moderate Wounds Kikinnin 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 1) + 10 = 12 +50% = 18, le sigh...
Cure Moderate Wounds Kythel 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (2, 3) + 10 = 15 +50% = 22

With some time dedication Kikinnin and JJ make a tunnel through the lattices, although most of the room, including the ceiling, remains invaded by the death ice.

Kythel profits the time to heal the worst wounds of the Watchers.

With the way open and after Maxim checks the door for traps, the group opens the way finding a bifurcation and a new door.

Kikinnin checks the eastern corridor briefly, before returning to the next door. "Alright, I still have your wards upon me, let's see what the Cagewrights left behind this door."

When his friends have gathered, he does his best to caution them away from a direct look through the door, in case another blast of magic tries to skewer a marching line. Then he opens it.

A cursory gaze at the eastern corridor reveals it is collapsed a few feet forward, but a tunnel opens by the side. Kikinnin looks inside, and to the extend of his darkvision the tunnel, excavated in the rock of Karran Kural, goes on.

Coming back to the door, the dwarf opens it to find a long corridor full of iron doors, each of which is choked over with ice. As far as his darkvision reaches, the hallway goes on, packed with icy iron doors.

JJ jogs up to join the fearsome Kikinnin.

"Nice with with the axe back that. Very nice indeed." he says, obviously a little nervous after the display of skill and power.

"Want to check the passage or the doors first? If they are all iced over, I'm thinking that might be wasted time for our spells."

"Eldgammel is still pulsing with Adabar's strength. It went through the demodand like soft butter. I'd like not to waste the rest of its time." Kikinnin points to the western passage. "Lead on, then."

Not needing to be told twice to head recklessly into danger, JJ leads the way down the side corridor, his ioun torch lighting the way.
