Spellcraft:
With a few moments of concentration from all of you the second star stelae is attuned.
"According to the strange fellow at the town entrance there are two others. I say to go the next closest.'
Sounds good to me
Leaving the area of the Snarl you head to the area known as the Oracalcum where the final star stelae is. Massive staircases scale the sides of this short, basalt tower ringed with unadorned columns. Open doors at street level lead to a chamber below.
"Down we go?"
What is the worst that could happen?
”I bet they are waiting to throw us a party down there.”.
"One more of these things before we go to a much much worse place."
Heading down the stairs you find yourselves in a chamber. Hundeds of stylized stars adorn the walls and ceiling, many of them connected by lines to form a menagerie of constellations. The floor and ceiling both curve outward, forming a gentle bowl depression and domed arch respectively. A series of patterned silk cushions and warm bronze braziers provide unexpected comfort for such an inhospitable region.
In the room are 3 creatures with the head of a human woman and the body of a snake.
Know. Dungeoneering
Senn you realise that the positions of the stars on the ceiling are unfamiliar, even for a different hemisphere. The ceiling instead depicts the night sky as seen from another part of the galaxy, and one of the stars (possibly Golarion's sun) is marked by a second 'x'.
Atajay and Trevor you recognise the creatures as lunar nagas. You know that they have see invisibility as a power, they have fast healing. They are immune to disease, mind affecting effects and poison. They can fly and their bite attack does poison damage.
Trevor relates the information. I wonder if they are reasonable?
"Only one way to find out. Hello, are you friendly? Can we talk?"
"they are pretty, I hope we don't have to kill them" Penith whispers from behind Senn.
"Who are you, what business do you have with the Star Sworn Sisters?"
”We are looking for one of those fancy Star stelaes we heard are around here. Don’t suppose you ladies know where it is, do you?”
"There is someone them has been using them for evil and we mean to stop him."
Aid another diplomacy
"Very well, we will let you use the star stelae for a gift of gold."
"How much?" Penith asks quickly.
Hooray! Reasonable people!
"I can't blame you. How is 500?"
"500 seems reasonable, we accept!"
The nagas lead you up to the top of the tower where the final star stelae is.

There is a thrum of power as you attune the final star stelae.
Kalatath says:
"Now we need to get to the undercity, only there can we travel to Carcosa. However, there is a problem, by attuning the star stelae we have weakened the magic holding the flying polyps in place meaning they can try to escape. There is also the problem of Xhamen-Dor. We need to deal with both of these before we complete the final ritual or they will swarm over this world of yours."
"Which should we deal with first? Do you have a sense which will be easier or will one come to the aid of the other?"
Beating on the polyps sounds reasonable.
"Best deal with the polyps before they escape," Domeric agreed, "I don't really feel like having to chase after them later..."
"Although Xhamen-Dor is dangerous, it will take time for it to grow in strength so the polyps should be dealt with first."
"Let's go."
Hmm.. As a doctor, I think Polyps need to be removed. bad if they are in the nose
Penith's hand covers her nose in worry. "They... they aren't up there already, are they?"
I can give you a nose examination at a very reasonable rate!
Following Kalatath's directions you head into the undercity. You descend a slope/shaft. The cavern's stone ceiling dips and rises with undulating unpredictability as it worms through the undercity. The hewn walls likewise seem unfinished, and heaps of rubble and gravel lie scattered about the area. Two humanoid like statues stand in one corner.
Senn will cast detect magic.
Are those statues actually golems? I bet they are!
Senn, you notice some impercetible movement from the statues. Nothing detects as magical
Know. Arcana
"I could try and lift one from here?" Penith offers, thinking that if they are not-statues they will balk at the notion of being picked up.
Atajay you recognise that these creatures are fossil golems but you are unable to recall anything else about them.
I got nothing. We could smash em
"I have basically one spell that works against golems and Bitey is very weak against damage reduction. I'm holding the spell until they come towards us but feel free to attack"
