The first round he detects the presence of thoughts in the area.
I don’t know what area you are scanning, it does a 60’ cone. For now, I will assume that Captain Gelviel Zorriah, Penny, Mongo, Tycho and Melody are in the area. Draw it if you want a different cone.
The second round he discovers there are five minds in the area and how intellgent each of them are; Captain Gelviel Zorriah Int 16, Penny Int 3, Mongo Int 10, Tycho Int 10, Melody Int 12.
Third round he concentrates on the thoughts of the Captain, only to find that mind closed to him.

Theodric peruses the books, trying to get at least an idea of how rare they are are etc.
Theodric notices many of them come from Lirgen and some group calling themselves the Saoc Brethren. Since a lot of history and information about Lirgen was lost when the Eye of Abendigo formed and flooded the lands, he thinks they would be relatively rare.
He guesses if you packed out all the books, they would be worth about 4,000 gp.

The bag of holding could probably fit about a fourth of them, more if it was emptied. I figure we pick the most valuable and stuff them in. If you all don;t mind, I'm going to just move things along...
After stuffing the books into the bag, the group will head towards the other end of the ship and open D2, dragging the captain along with them, still tightly trussed.
Warpac carries the captain with him as he trudges along to the next location. He does not appreciate being treated like a bag of potatoes. “Where are you taking me and why?” the captain asks as he squirms around.
Sorting through the library took enough time that the Detect Thoughts spell has worn off. The door is unlocked.

"I'd rather keep him were I can see him. And he may come in useful if we actually run into some of the other players in this insane drama. I'll just take care of him - no problem at all to drag him along. Who knows, after he spends some time with us he may have a change of attitude."

Understanding that intelligent creatures usually know when they make a will save, Abtaroh will not push it. They cease concentrating on the Detect Thoughts spell, and then cast Mirror Image. 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 images.
They signal "One," and point to the door ahead.
All Tycho's spells are silent, of course. They will dismiss Heightened Awareness next time we roll initiative.

Abtaroh used Mongo's wand to heal him up.
Mentioned this on Hangouts but wanted to codify it here if needed before we move in. Tycho is ready and will be dismissing Heightened Awareness to add to their initiative.
No one ever healed Mongo? I had waited for someone to do that.
Oh well, moving on!
The Captain makes an “Ooof!” sound asmhis body thuds against the floor. He still manages to cackle as Warpac throws open the door. “Let me know if you find any of those gnomish pistons in there!” he taunts, then he begins to madly laugh.
Not an exceptional laugh, still needs work. Still, you’ve heard worst mad laughs.
This strange room consists of two disparate areas.
To the east, the chamber is furnished as a comfortable-looking study, complete with a writing desk and a small case of books. Numerous star charts are painted on the walls, and a strange statue of what appears to be a huge moth with outstretched wings and a coiling tail of three long peacock feathers stands in the corner.
The western portion of the room is a stark contrast—a cube with polished walls and a strange circular design etched in the floor. The far side of this cube is a wall of dark purple glass or crystal, which pulses periodically with flashes faint light.
In the western portion of the room is a strange creature that looks like some sort of humanoid crossed with a vulture. It is about eight foot tall and has wide vulture wings, but also arms than end in nasty looking claws. It also has claws where a normal humanoid would have feet. It is staring at the group visible in the doorway.
Statue, DC 19 Knowledge: Religion or Arcana:
The statue in the corner as a depiction of a star monarch—a magical space-faring creature sacred to the faith of Desna. It looks like it has been damaged.
Vulture guy DC 19 Knowledge: Planes:
It is a Vrock.

Hmm. Always assume Warpac will wave a wand for someone if they ask. I kinda read when he said 'assuming someone is willing to tap him' as 'I'm assuming someone is willing to tap him'
kn religion:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 No DR, just SR? Looking for vulnerabilities and weakest ST.
"At least it is not a plague demon. We've had enough of that."
Warpac pauses long enough to allow Melody to act first, then activates his sacred armor/weapon and uses the haste to run around to the side of the demon and prepare for a game of badminton with Mongo. Provided he is not swatted himself to badly, he takes a shot.
to hit, sacred weapon:1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 2 = 26; add inspired bonus if Melody starts up damage, sacred weapon:1d10 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 = 16; add inspired bonus if Melody starts up

Warpac, It is Kn: Planes for the Vrock. You rolled Kn: Religion which tells you about the statue. Also isn’t DR separate from elemental resistances?
As for the healing, I was expecting someone to roll the d8 for CLW off Mongo’s wand, Guess I will do the rolls. CLW from wand:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 CLW from wand:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 A third one can not fail to completely heal him.
Oops, just realized I missed something when giving elemental resistances.
Theodric:
Immune Electricity
Will wait for Melody before resolving Warpac’s actions.

Yes, I realize now that Theo did not get his last request, the one for DR. I am making more mistakes in this one game than I make in any 6 others. It's odd. At least the Knowledge roll is good for something!
Warpac moves in to set up a flank. As he moves up, the Vrock lashes at him with a claw, but it is deflected by the armor.
Claw:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 Damage:2d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2) + 5 = 10
Undaunted, Warpac swings his axe. It does much less damage than expected.
Then the creature shifts position slightly and lets out a horrible screech! It looks like some of it’s feathers are pressed up against an invisible wall, but there is nothing there to push against.
Kn: Arcana DC 28:
It looks like there is a Binding spell holding it in the area. It can not cross the boundary into the main compartment here.

Theodric shakes off the scream as he slides into position across from Mongo.

Before stabbing the Vrock with his adamantine dagger.
As Mongo moves towards the creature, it swipes at him with a claw. It just barely hits!
Claw:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27 Damage, DR:2d6 + 5 - 3 ⇒ (5, 2) + 5 - 3 = 9
It isn’t quite able to take a swing at Theodric as he comes in.
Mongo and Theodric both hit, Theodric just barely managing to do so. Neither of them do full damage to the Vrock.
The Vrock tells Mongo “I shall destroy you and dance on your corpse!”
Bolded may act:
Don’t forget the Fort save if within 30’ of the Vrock.

"Hrm. Tha thing needs ta die." Reaching down, he pats Penny on the head, magical energy surging through her muscles. "Penny. Kill." he commands, pointing at the demon.
