Dammit, the goblins ate my post ...
Alkarion draws his terbutje, a vicious looking club covered in shards of metal and glass, and moves forward as well, keeping his enhanced senses peeled.

Raynor still senses evil out there.
The forest explodes with wild inhuman cries and the frenzied sound of beasts breaking cover from the jungle!
Suddenly there are savages nearly in the party's midst! They are Kuru in the flesh this time. Crimson tears of fresh blood streak their faces which are twisted into horrible masks of hunger and insanity.
When your character can actually see one of the savages: Heal (DC 15):
These beings are starving and fatigued.
Conditions Dim lighting The thick jungle canopy and the mists conspire to darken the area. In an area of dim light, a character can see somewhat.

Kaillum hears the bushes burst alive, and can make out the savages that leap forth. He instinctively draws his pistol and with quick reflexes he moves forward, he levels the barrel of the pistol towards the savage enemy, and pulls the trigger. A cacophonous blast fills the air, as birds and bugs scatter at the sound.
The small ball of steel, is propelled through the air, and Kaillum’s aim is true. The bullet crushes into the cranium of the fearsome enemy.

One savage (black) shrouded in a whirling nimbus of visible chaos hurls what sounds like curse in his course tongue. He points at Raynor and the light around the knight seems to dim. His breath catches--first, in a sudden indescribable cold that freezes his sweat-drenched clothing to his skin, and second, when he actually sees his breath come out in a puff of winter mist and realizes that what he is experiencing is real--he is freezing to death!

Kaillum reloads his firearm with an Alchemical Cartridge as he moves forward. He levels the barrel of his gun at another crazed human, and lets the pungent smell of powder fill the air once more.

Alkarion looks at the wound on his arm. "Wow, those are some very sharp teeth! Do you mind if I extract those after you are dead?"
With that he takes a breath, and as he does so, the muscles on his arm swell significantly. He then swings his terbutje at the kuru.

"Ugh..." grunts Raynor, as the cold takes a hold of half of his body. Swiveling in his saddle, he then raises his lance and pushes it into the crazed human trying to make a run for him.
"By the lace collection of Besmara... what curse is this?" swears Raynor, subconsciously reaching for his eye patch to have a second look at the crazy man...

Borox moves up to the place I moved him to (which is right since that saved) and then moves up one more square. That's 20 feet if the second diagonal counts as 10 feet. If he can move into the square with the deceased Kuru he will attack the still living Kuru. If not, he will be done with his turn.

Oops! incorrectly labelled the second lance attack as AoO: it wasn't. That one was the regular attack made as part of Raynor's turn.

Kaillum's shot wings the Professor's attacker enough for the academic's body to swell to terrific size and level the boom on the woman, sending her to the the ground.
El Garrapata casually extends one beefy arm and fells another, even as Borox looks on incredulously at the big man for 'taking his'.
Raynor's close brush with cold of the Dark Tapestry and strange perception bending nature of the Spire confound his attempts to fend off the advancing Kuru. His mount bite her as he wheels away but the savage still manages to leap at him, filed teeth first.
The Kuru behind her once again raises his hands and voice. He points toward Raynor and a flash of pale starlight lances from the man's hand but Raynor deftly ducks the ray.

The skull-headed effigy accusingly points a bony arm down the trail leading west.
Kaillum loads another Alchemical cartridge in his pistol as he moves. He lowers his pistol and awaits for his enemy to try chanting the strange tongue once more before he fires.

OK, since Orange went down, Alkarion would instead have taken a double move through the undergrowth; this round he makes another double move to reach Blue. I have indicated his path in white for last round and yellow for this round. He would not have maintained his rage, so he was fatigued last round and this, and will recover from the fatigue next round.
Watching the group quickly dispatch the cannibals, Alkarion breathes heavily as his muscles return to normal. He pushes through the bushes to reach the last one and stands over him with the wicked club, saying "I believe we have you finished. Would you care to surrender, or shall I simply kill you now?"

END COMBAT
Beyond the foliage the party finds a crude, weeks-old camp. Amid the detritus, on a litter lays a Kuru man.
Prof. Alkarion wrote:

The Kuru lays there unresponsive except for his eyes, ringed in moats of blood, which stare up at Alkarion.
sense motive (DC 15):
The stare is... inhuman. In fact it is totally malignant and alien. Nothing that walks on two legs could look at you like this. Whatever mind is guiding or housed in this Kuru's body it is as divorced from humanoid kind as you are from sea krill. What you see before you is mere puppetry. The body is only alive physically and the mind that is looking through those eyes is monstrous, is something that is altogether beyond the pale.
Upon your character realizing this, the edges of its mouth slide upward in the parody of a smile, more blood wells from its tear ducts and runs down its face.
Scattered about the camp lay little bits of bric-a-brac, clumps of strange silver jewelry like metal lace not at all similar to the leather and bone jewelry the Kuru are wearing.

Alkarion looks into the kuru's eyes. After staring a few moments, he says, "I've never seen anything like this ... the body is human, but whatever is moving it around is not. Either this is some alien creature shaped to look human, or he is possessed by something. Either way, it might be best to end its existence. Does anyone disagree?"

The Kuru lays unmoving except for the eyes which lock on Raynor's, and a slight tugging upward at the corners of the mouth.
Raynor coup de graces the kuru to death with one thrust. It dies and you daze a CR 23 "thing" somewhere on this plane that knows what you all look like now. It even has a name to think about--the name of 'Garrapata'.

After a while.
Following the path pointed put by the camp's horrible scarecrow (which El Garrapata discovered) the party comes to a crack in the earth. Most of it covered by thick weeds and the roots of a huge strangler fig tree. There are several gaps between the roots through which an adventurer might squeeze. Below the tangled roots is a deep shaft that descends into the gloom.
Map Updated.
The thirty-foot-long, root-covered crack extends deep into the black stone of the Gloomspire. Numerous gnarled tree roots creep down the sides of the shaft, a few of them hanging almost to the muddy floor 40' below.
Dozens of shallow niches are set at irregular intervals down each of the four walls of the shaft. Though some are empty, most of the recesses hold squat, four-foot-tall stone idols of leering, horned fiends.
The strangler fig’s entangling roots lace the insides of the crevasse like cobwebs.
DC 15 to free climb the crack. Using a rope in the confines is a DC 5--knotting a rope won't help any more here. The crack extends 30' deep. Then the crack opens into a stone ceiling 10' above the floor. So a total of a 40' drop.
A Medium creature can easily squeeze past the roots at the top of the crack, and a Small creature simply treats the opening as difficult terrain. Large creatures will have to clear some of the roots first.

GM, would either acid or alchemist's fire assist in the clearing? I'm not sure how much effort it is or how long it will take to make the opening big enough.
