GM Zer0darkfire's Emerald Spire (Inactive)

Game Master asdffghjkl01

"Shall we continue?" Barm tries to open the door to the next room.

Trutzburg just smiles! "Sure. But some healing here, would also be appreciated!"

Barm will wait with opening the door after Trutzburg is healed.

Channel: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 2) = 9

Baied heal everyone, then she tries to stop the fighter burning. It takes a few tries, but it finally works

Cast Resist Energy as an arcane spell on Truzburg and Barm

Arcane spell, 21%+: 1d100 ⇒ 9
Arcane spell, 21%+: 1d100 ⇒ 21
Arcane spell, 21%+: 1d100 ⇒ 80

haste is probably close to expiring but good hope should still be up, yes?

round counter: 5

Baied does some healing and tries a couple times to give Barm and Trutzburg energy resistance.

Baied, you know that failing the arcane armor check causes you to lose the spellslot right? Are you able to cast resist energy four times?

damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5
damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7
damage for trutzburg: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

Barm, -15
Trutzburg -49

Good Hope is still up. Haste may not be, it's been what, seven rounds since it was cast?

7 rounds sounds right, which would leave about 6 rounds

Resist Energy is a level 2 spell, as a Sorcerer 8 I can cast it 6 times a day: 6L1/6L2/5L3/3L4 spells/day

That's fine, I guess I should have asked more along the lines of "do you want to cast it that many times".

Anymore healing, buffing, or readying before you move to the next room? Everyone other than Baied has about five rounds to do any preparing while she heals and gives fire resistance (Saint Gudule has 4 due to healing as well).

Regnum hopes and prays his musket doesn't keep misfiring on him!

Barm waits others to prepare.

Sorry for my absence.

Gudule seems fine and is ready to move on.

Round counter: 5

A small shrine sits in the northwest corner of this room. A set of tiered steps leads down to the room itself. A table stands in the middle of the room, and two green pedestals rise in alcoves to the west and east. To the south looms a towering statue of a skeletal dragon made of stone and crystal.

You see the bottom half of the Vault Keeper's body quickly regrowing in the eastern alcove.

knowledge, religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Frēodwēn begins an inspiring oratory and then a moment later turns his attention to the vault keeper and begins peppering it with arrows.

Barm enters the room.

Know Religion: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Baied looks at the creature, uncertain of its powers and abilities

Freodwen destroys the reforming body with well placed arrows. When Iluchtewhar is destroyed, a tremor rumbles through the structure. The ground shakes, and pieces of debris fall from the cavern ceiling. A pulse of energy gathers in the branches and tendrils of the Emerald Spire root, then suddenly rushes inward and upward, ascending the Spire. From far above comes a receding series of echoes of explosion after explosion, gradually diminishing as they ascend toward the distant surface.

The pech cheers, "Finally! The old master is dead and we are free!"

The treasure of the complex has remained here for ages, untouched. Sitting at the statue’s feet are a +3 construct bane adamantine heavy pick, a staff of earth and stone, a stone of good luck, and a philosopher’s stone.

Regnum once again plays Sherpa and helps carry everything that his companions haven't decided they want.

"I don't wanna any of those things!"

"Is that it? Are we done?"

Barm looks around in disbelief.

It might be that you have killed everything there was to kill, Barm, if that's what you mean.

"I think there is more to discover here" Frēodwēn says as he picks up the stone of good luck . "I'll take this if you don't mind"

Saint Gudule nods.
"Yes that can't be the end of it... Oh! A nice staff!" he says, picking carelessly the staff of earth and stone.

"Well, shall we?"

In the previous room, you find a secret tunnel that heads slightly south and west. It leads you to A lake of chill water that reaches to the walls of this cave. Glowing green branches of crystal extrude from the southern wall, and a gravelly beach rises near the westernmost crystal. To the north, the crystals grow to reach a pair of stone terraces that lead up from the water to a door, on which an eye-shaped rune shimmers.

The lake water is extremely cold and you can see the forms of about six creatures swimming in it under the water. There isn't anything of interest here, so you had back the safe way to where you were.

Opening the other doorway south from the previous room leads you to a small room that connects to an emerald root, but has nothing else of interest.

With the defeat Iluchtewhar, you (perhaps unknowingly) avert a great deal of future mischief. Not only are the mad Vault Keeper’s designs for a reordering of the surrounding surface realms to suit its vision foiled, the Emerald Spire’s potential for destruction is largely neutralized. Iluchtewhar’s long imprisonment made him a part of the Spire, and no other entity can harness its power. Over the course of weeks, the planar conjunctions common in the area diminish or cease, and constructs powered by the Spire shards exhaust their reserves of energy and deactivate. While the Spire loses much of its potential power, it is nearly indestructible, and its dungeon levels remain. In time, Darklands creatures or surface villains may slowly trickle in to claim depopulated levels.

Using either teleportation magic or the emerald spire keystones, you travel back to the surface and return to town. As usual, letters from the Pathfinder Society await you, wands of sending included for quick communication. The letters generally ask for status reports and updates on your progress of exploring the spire, of which, you can finally say you have fully explored the entire structure.

A year and a half and we finally explored the entire thing. Damn. Nicely done, folks!

I will drink a beer for all of us! Guys, that was a wonderful experience! Thank you all!

thanks for letting me join, everyone. I started this with a different GM years ago and wanted to finish it in his Honor after he passed away suddenly. It's been a pleasure.

WOOT... Thanks for it all!!!!

Thanks everyone for this amazing adventure! Thank you GM and glad Freodwen could join us :)
