Z..D.. Destiny of the Sands Core Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Z...D...

Omrijka and Daeron both see in the reflection the image of the ruby sage. You both feel that the crystal recognizes the sages power that flows through you right now. The image also heads in the same direction of Amenopheus and two more slivers pop off the crystal for Omrijka and Daeron.

Amenopheus looks back, Ah the crystal knows the power of Ruby Sage. It is truely a well crafted gate keeper. He speaks again this time more to the crystal then the PC's. This group is with me as guest, you may let them pass.

As Nefti and Kafar approach the stone, they look at each other and stop. Nefti calls out, I think we will wait here.. Kafar nods in agreement.

Knowledge is power

Before following Amenopheus Daeron turns to Kafar and Nefti See you later, guys. I hope you will still be there when we come back, but if we don't come back within one day, please give this to the Venture Captain Balentiir, it will be your way in to the Society.

Daeron gives his wayfinder with a note to their ancient ennemies.

Then, he moves inside the complex.

Eyes wide open in the curiosity that a wizard has in new magical places, Ezren enters.

Two curved ramps ascend gently from one end of this semicircular room toward its northwest entrance. More than a dozen statues line the intricately painted walls, and all face toward an immense crystal that projects from the southeast wall. The statues are carved in the Osiran fashion, some bearing the heads of animals, and many holding objects like staves, ankhs, oil lamps, and scepters in their supple marble hands. Four engravings in the likeness of gemstones are set into shallow circular recesses in the floor arrayed before the huge jewel.

The wall paintings portray many scenes of Garundi scholars carrying Osirian treasures, using architectural tools, surveying a mountain range, cutting gems, and receiving gifts from three supernatural figures.

Knowledge Religion

Know history 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

appraise: 1d20 ⇒ 6 "Er?"

Perception DC 20, she can't make, so instead 1 MP later she does make it!

"Hey guys look!"

You are quite eloquent, paladin the wizard comments at Apollyanna's strange noises. You truly are a credit to the goddess you serve

"That's kind of creepy coming from a guy your age." Says the teen girl.

You are a taco short of a combination plate aren't you child? the wizard retorts.

Ok, just having some trouble picturing this exactly. So we are in a room, there are statues all along the walls. There are statues that looks like Nethys and Ptah and Thoth. There are also pictures on the walls depicting scenes and Amenopheus and the Ruby Sage are in them?
There are also recesses in the floor that are different shapes? Am I missing anything?

"That's kind of creepy coming from a guy your age." Says the teen girl.

Omrijka admonishes Apollyanna "That was a condiment" she means compliment

"You are a taco short of a combination plate aren't you child?"

"Although that was kinda creepy" she admonishes the wizard

perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
craft jewellrey (i/o appraise+1): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
perception dc 20: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

"Whoa those pictures look the spitting image of you boss" she calls to amenopheus

if gm rules my craft jewellrey roll applies she will share what she know on that too

Perception DC15 (take 10): 10 + 9 + 2 = 21
Know. History (take 10): 10 + 8 = 18
Perception DC20 (take 10): 10 + 9 + 2 = 21

Daeron takes his time to look around, and share his findings with his comrades.

How old are you Master Amenopheus ? It seems you live from centuries!

Kyra, yes. There are murals too that can not be seen on the map. Two of the statues look like the sages. Have been updated on the map. The jewel shaped recesses are the small circles in the map. So I think you got it all.

Omrijka, yes craft jewelry sounds appropriate.

The wizard will reply to the half-orc Mistress half-orc, your ability to be so, so eloquent indeed is worthy of the bards

Daeron asks Amenopheus Master, you are one of the Jewel sage yes? Which one are you ? Because, to me it seems like there is a clue here.
I recognize that each statue represent a Jewel Sage and each jewel is associated with a color in ancient history.
May be by associating a color and a sage we could find a way deeper in the complex ?

The Sapphire Sage looks back at Daeron. No need for that friend, we have keys. Amenopheus holds up the sliver of crystal from the gate keeper and places the sliver through the door, opening a channel big enough for a medium person to fit. I shall hold the door open for all of us to enter.

The sage spoke to soon, when the group heads toward the PC's, a ancient voice echoes through the room.

The crystal entry way closes fast, and then encases the Sapphire Sage in a diamond prison.

Four sets of light beam from the statue, one red, one yellow, one blue and one green. They all point toward the jeweled shaped recesses.

You can choose to move the light from the statue to another statue. Picking up and placing the statues end of the light is a move move action. Depending on which statue you place it in will determine if the recessed end of the light moves.

Moments after the lights begin to cut through the room. The statues shaped like Nethys and Ptah move from there positions and take a defensive posture at the diamond doorway.

Final note on the map, the x'd out statures are where the guardians you are fighting once stood. You can not place the light sources there

I know that something will go wrong!
Know. (nature): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

The voice says "As the light aligns, so too do the sages stand." May be we must realign the color ?
I suggest to try to associate the color to the jewel sage.

Daeron look around trying to find the right statue for the right color. Knowing the Ruby's sage features he associate the red color with it.

use my moves actions to do it

Sorry, after rereading my bad explanation. Let me try again. To move the sections of light. You must first remove the light source with a move action, then move it to the statue you wish to place it. Then to actually place it back is another move action. So this turn you would need to move to the statue where the red light is coming from and remove the light. Then next turn, you would move to the statue of the ruby sage(red circled statue) and place it. Which will move the ending spot of the light, to the correct recess(The one shaped like a ruby)

now that I explained it better, you may restate your actions.

Daeron will move to the statue where the red light is and take it away, hoping to move toward the statue of the Ruby's sage next round.

GM, going to try something, Let me know if it breaks any rules or I have misunderstood something

Kyra approaches Daeron reaches out and touches him with a divine spell. Casting Sanctury using a mythic point. For the next 6 rounds as long as Daeron doesn't attack an enemy any enemy attacking him must first make a DC18 Will save to attack.

Go, get the lanterns in place. We can try to keep these statues occupied.

Omrijka is still trying to work out who Ezren means by mistress half orc

Acting before your initiative kyra? But a very good plan

Lol, I got over excited. Do that on my turn please GM Z..D..

Very good idea Bemmer/kyra, will make that your action on your turn

Ezren is on delay, can come in anytime

Yellow moves to stand in front of Omrijka.

Ok will be at paizoconuk next three days. I nominate Apollyanna as my bot controller

I'm flattened by your truss in me. I hope to live up to your expurgations.

The wizard communicates what he knows.

"Can you say that again, but in Taldane?"

Ezren SR check from wand: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

The bolt of force collides with the guardian.

Kyra places a protective spell around Daeron.

Red guardian moves to kyra, but does not attack.

Round 2

Daeron moves the lantern to the statue of the ruby sage and places in her open hand. The light changes position, when it reaches the recess it begins to glow.

The yellow one moves to stand under ezren and swings its quarterstaff at the wizard but it is obviously out of range.

Omrijka and Kyra can make AOO's against yellow as it passed between you two

Taladane? Or perhaps a planar language? states the wizard.

"Wait! Ezren, they don't seem to be in hospital if you don't attack them." Omrijkabot shouts meaning 'inhospitable', as the statue swings its sapling-sized stave at the skyward older man.

"Yeah Ezren, why are you picking on him?" Apollyanna says accusingly.

I would prefer to not damage any of the statuary if we can avoid it She chooses not to strike at the statue that moves past her.

Daeron, move along with those lanterns. Does anyone want to help him. Sarenrae's blessings could protect more of you.

Unimproved trip, lol

Ezren CL for wand: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Ezrens wand does not seem to hurt the guardian this time.

Kyra delays.

Red begins to assault kyra, trying to drive her back, striking her viciously with its quarterstaff.
attack #1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 hit
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

attack #3: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Daeron is up

Hoping that Kyra's spell will help him moves without harm between the guardians he moves to the other statue he knows to be the Amenopheus's equivalent to put the blue light in its stone hands.

If I recall Amenopheus is also named the Sapphire Sage

correct

When it is her turn Kyra will channel to heal her companions.

Channel Positive: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

So you want me to let thing thing continue attacking the paladin? he says with a sardonic smile.

No, we have to protect ourselves. Just don't do more damage than we need to.

Damn boards must of ate my post.

Daeron moves to the statue holding the blue light and removes it. He his now holding the item radiating the blue light. Now he just has to place it in the statue that looks like Amenopheus.[ooc]

Yellow being unable to reach the wizard, shifts it focus to the paladin standing adjacent. [ooc]Apollyanna And lashes out three times with its quarterstaff at unnatural speed.

attack #1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 hit
damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

attack #2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24 hit

Know arcana 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 to see if he knows what these thigns are.

"I thought the word was 'excretion'."

@ Ezren, you already rolled for that once, and got lower. You know that they are. See spoilered info in post above

Back up here. Looks like you got an 18.

My bad

Kyra is getting worried about the damage potential of these statues. I think we have 1 in place, one in Daeron's hands and 2 still to place? Do we need another sanctuary or 2?

Can you do that? If so, maybe on the more mobile blockers.

I can using mythic power. I have 4 mythic power left, and I think Daeron has 3 rounds left on Sanctuary. I can do 1 per round, so by the time I got to the last Daeron would be a target again, but I can. Who should I hit with it? Ezrin? You two paladins will have movement speed reduction due to armour, wont you?
