vs DC 28
Cabaguil refuses to fall asleep, being most angry at the hags for their haggery.

Dori will Stride, Stride, and Raise Shield.

Following Dori into the room, Cuthberwyn picks up his tale of woe where he left off, weaving the imprudence of bargaining with a devil into the story, sure to bring about ill tidings to the foolhardy who tempt fate so.

Dori moves in raising his shield to defend the others while Cuthberwyn picks up the speed of his dirgiest dirge.
Cabaguils watches as the bone devil doesn't move but instead faces Rusty Mae. The hag's face scrunches as she screams at the bone devil. "You Coward! I will never pay that!"

Dakapos does indeed get a bit overconfident as Rusty Mae blocks his blow. Though thanks to Cuthberwyn's dirge Dakapos is able to feint as his sword drags up her arm, removing a finger. She lives up to her name as Rusty Mae begins to savagely claw into Dakapos.
Rusty Mae is scorned as she claws through both of Dakapos' mirrored images.

Cabaguil frets over pointing out the invisible opposition, but that would leave him largely out of the fight as well - and he had things to do.
First he continues to Inspire Courage again to help those around him. Then he hits the Night Hag and Rusty May with a Flame Strike
"Burn you hag!" He'd hoped for more fire from his first casting of the powerful spell, but he'll take what he can get.

Kelvin lands a powerful jab into Rusty Mae's side with Ogogoro's Pride. She grunts in pain as she rips the spearhead free from just underneath her collarbone.
Divine flames pour down from above as Cabaguil scorches the pair of hags.
Running from the fire the night hag rushes to the other side of the room, her hand outstretched from the shadows as she sends magical missiles in Cabaguil's direction.

Raspar and Dori shift their shields across the gap, completely negating the first attack's damage while Rusty Mae sweeps a clawed hand underneath, the claws drag across Dakapos' sword, rusting it through the edges as she stabs a claw into his back, drawing him in closely.

Kelvin quickly drops Rusty Mae, her neck pierced by the spear. As she disappears Cabaguil looks around and notices that the Devil is also gone. Likely returned to hell, from where it was summoned.
The night hag screams, shaking her head. "Noo...noo..no! This can't be." Raspar cuts her off into screams of pain as his starknife stabs into her.

A little bitter and angry about the whole fight, Cabaguil does to the Hag what the Had done did to Cabaguil. He casts Magic Missile (3) to try and end the fight quickly.
”C’mon, drop you hag! You can’t have that much left in the bladder. Fall!” he shouts, trying to make the missiles more powerful.

Kelvin moves in on the night hag but she is quicker than he expects as he misses her. Cabaguil and the with continue to exchange magical missiles from afar. "Let's see who drops first." Dark shadows of missiles leap out into Cabaguil's backside.

Cuthberwyn can see the night hag now, but knows Cabaguil needs a hand first. He quickly administers some wound dressing on Caba.
Cuth then moves closer before renewing his tale, where the hag's coven is broken and abandoned by false allies.

Cabaguil bounces back quickly from his missile-inspired injury, ”Thanks Cuth! T’was but a scratch, and now not even that!”
”Sorry hag, but your life is measured in seconds now. You’re done!” Cabaguil laughs at her, daring her to hit him again. He hopes he can take whatever she may have left!
First he casts Inspire Courage again to help those around him. Then he moves up a bit, as he’s out of range of his best spells, though he’s not sure he’ll need them (•>).
Finally, he’ll cast Guidance benefitting himself for the next round, just in case he needs to make a save against hag magic.

Cuthberwyn quickly patches up Cabaguil while his dirge makes the hag feel like she is backed into a corner. Dori moves in and misses as the hag knocks his axe out of the way. Cabaguil guides himself, awaiting the hags next round of magical attacks. Raspar's starknife is able to onflict another small injury to the hag.

The hag quickly falls as Kelvin and Dakapos leap at her, poking her full of holes.
A silver cauldron lies in the corner of the room.
Most of the books on the table are sinister texts about the nature of the worship of Mahathallah (with a particular focus on her association with death and vanity and not so much about fate). The books are not magic, but nine of them are worth 20 gp apiece for their curious contents. The tenth book is more robust and contains information on two divine rituals: planar ally and resurrect. This tenth volume is worth 250 gp. The resurrect ritual has been heavily annotated in Infernal, making it apparent that Rusty Mae has been having problems learning this ritual but that she hopes to use it to bring the coven’s original leader, Abelstia, back to life to replace Kelleni.
A pair of disc-shaped objects carved with imagery or words sacred to Desna lie on the table near the books.
Raspar recognizes the stone archway as the exit portal of Dreamgate, but the runes in dried blood scribbled on the stone within the arch are new.

"I've heard of cauldrons like that. They call them Bountiful Cauldrons. This would be fantastic at the Citadel. It'd certainly provide for a siege defense if one ever occurred. "
Dak looks over the books, "Yeah, I'm very interested in these rituals. Lucky find."
He looks over the disc-shaped objects, but can't quite figure it out.
Cuthberwyn watches the hag fall with some satisfaction, confident that anyone trying to contract with a devil marked themselves as beyond redemption.
Cuth is able to identify the bountiful cauldron, and eagerly points ts usefulness out to Raspar for use in Rainbow Citadel's soup kitchen.

Raspar looks at Cuth, then again at the Cauldron.
”Oh, you’re right! The soup kitchen will love this! It will be a very nice gift to the people! Oh, this is a very good idea!” Raspar beams with joy and happiness at the idea. ”Because sometimes people are broken or hurt or lost, and sometimes they need food or help to get back on their feet! And we can help with that, you see? Oh, this is very nice!”
Ðakaþos speaks firmly, "No, not a gift. I'm more than happy to lend its bounty out to those who need it, but the cauldron stays inside the walls."

The group discusses where the bountiful pot should stay after identifying the free food and eliminating the coven contaminating this holy waystation dedicated to Desna.

Raspar begins to clean up the coven-room, straightening things out. "This is no way to run a coven, much less honor a step-gate to Desna,
Raspar shakes his head and begins to labor. He cleans and putters, aligns and dusts.
When others are ready, he'll follow Dori to the west.

The centerpiece of this room is a tall statue of a willow tree carved from pale marble. Six oversized roots around the base of the tree resemble stone beds radiating out from the trunk, with just enough room to climb into them beneath the statue’s stone branches. Exits lead out from opposite sides of the room.
Dak checks the area for magic, "You know. I wonder if this waystation could return to use."
"I'm just glad we got rid of those witches. Who knows what mischief they could have caused had they come through."
Before the group moves on he studies the blood runes on the other Dreamgate. "Might be some kind of corruption of the runes. I'm guessing that the witches came through but got stuck. This might have been their attempt to fix it so they could go through. And if they wanted to resurrect someone... I'm guessing that they didn't have the know how to do it. But the dead one might have. Sadly, the only way I can think of is if we performed the ritual. This occult magic is foreign to me."
When it becomes apparent that the others can't make heads or tails on the discs, Kelvin takes a moment to study them.
"They're Dreamstones. Interesting," he muses aloud. When the others look at him in surprise he adds, "What? I read."
Raspar pads into the tree room, looking around and hoping others can figure stuff out. He looks around for danger and/or things of interest.
Perception
Cabaguil joins the others in examining the room, though he's sure the eagle eyed Raspar will find anything to find.
"I don't understand the purpose of these antechambers. Were they just barracks?"
|
|
This way station, in keeping with its Desnan themes, was intended to be a safe place for travelers to rest and enjoy pleasant dreams. To encourage this, two dreaming chambers were created within.
Unfortunately with the hags presence the Tree of Dreams has been corrupted. Raspar finds out the difficult way as a branch slowly reaches down to grab ahold of him.

Kelvin does what he can to stab at the branch holding onto him. Ogogoro's spear scrapes a gouge along the branch but little more.
Now that Kelvin is a bit closer to the tree he sees a few oddities. A slot within the trunk of the tree contains a slot in the shape of a dreamstone. You currently have a white Dreamstone and a black dreamstone. There is only one slot.
The tree begins to strike back at those in the room.

Cabaguil does his best to get a spell off as he’s grabbed tightly by the tree. "If anyone can get to it, try the white one in the slot. Ouch!"
He tries to cast Flaming Sphere , figuring it’ll be easier to sustain it than cast fresh spells. And he certainly hopes the tree has a poor reflex save...
, so he succeeds in his casting, and also heals 1hp (prayer beads)
Further, he tries aiding the party, casting Inspire Courage for those who may wish to press their attacks.
, so he fails to cast Inspire Courage this round. Sorry folks!

Cabaguil tries to get a spell off to burn the tree in place, but as he begins speaking one wood say he was pining for a beating. The thick branch bashing him over his head, knocking him unconscious.

Ðakaþos (101/124) (Bastard Sword -3)

Cabaguil (0/71; Grabbed; Dying 2)
Action 1: Escape
Action 2-3: Disable Tree
Kelvin works to break free of the branch that has grabbed him.
Wriggling free, he works to disrupt the tree's magic.
I think he needs an additional check to grab Raspar.
Round 1
Action 1: Escape.
Action 2: Strike.
Action 3: Strike.
Raspar struggles free: Athletics "Nobody puts me in chains again!" Raspar seems really angry. Almost as angry as he was at Kelvin for wanting to honor Hellknight history.
And then strikes fearlessly at the tree.

You free an ally from restraint. If the trigger was an ally taking damage, the ally gains resistance to all damage against the triggering damage equal to 2 + your level. The ally can attempt to break free of effects grabbing, restraining, immobilizing, or paralyzing them. They either attempt a new save against one such effect that allows a save, or attempt to Escape from one effect as a free action. If they can move, the ally can Step as a free action, even if they didn’t need to escape.[/ spoiler]
