Raspar makes sure the slaver friends are dead, helping to end them quickly.
"We tried to be nice. We did," Raspar says with a smile, having tried to do the right thing then gotten to slay slavers anyway. He notes he is bleeding, which is also good, because he needs to bleed to show his love for others...and for Desna.
"We should make sure we are all healthy first. I do not think we are in a rush just yet."
He pray for health. And will begin to straighten and clean up the room, the fancy magic clubs, and whatever else while others heal.
"Aye. When we started I was felled by a minor threat. Now I feel like I rarely face Pharasma's embrace. Aye, best to make sure we leave no stone unturned."
Ðakaþos moves to the turn to see what lies before the party.
Kelvin's rage abates and his mind comes back into focus. "You've got a Craghorn amongst you! When we're not chained to a forge, we make mighty warriors."
He's nonetheless appreciative of Cabaguil's ministrations. "Another scar to show the ladies! Bringing down stone giants, no less. Aye, it's good being me."
Once the group is ready to move, he keeps close to Dak. "You aren't half bad either, elf. Certainly giving old Dori a run for his coin. Hah!"

The walls of this large, crumbling chamber are carved with three images of massive bears wearing slabs of stone as barding. The bear images are arrayed outward from a wide opening to the south, as though protecting it, and green gemstones glitter in each of their eye sockets. Another passage exits to the east, and an opening in the north wall provides a third exit.
Six rotting cave bears fill this room. Their stench permeates across every inch of the chamber as a dark necromantic energy seeps from their wounds. The bears go low as they begin to growl through the open and festering soars in their chest.

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]
Kelvin waits to see what Dori or Dak do first.
Ðakaþos, expecting a fierce battle, casts a spell of haste upon himself and steps up to Raspar's side, ready to hold the line.

Dakapos heads in with all due haste as he and Raspar hold the line of defense.

Kelvin enrages as Kelvin slides his spear across it's body, destitching the flesh from the frame as it all falls apart. His ong slice comes around and stabs another of the bears in the neck.
Cabaguil rains hellfire down upon the group of bears.
The fire infuses with the necromantic energy as it burns trough the undead outer layer. Raspar's starknife slices right across the bears face, popping it's pussy eye sack as it squirts across the floor.

Cuthberwyn keeps up his inspiring tale , then gives his whip a try on Yellow.

Dori begins to hack into the undead bear's soft and juicy flesh.
Both strikes dig far into the neck tissue as it kills the bear. Cuthberywn grabs ahold of the bears back leg as it rears up. Yanking the whip hard the bear falls back onto its side.
Dakapos rushes in and thrusts his blade down into the creatures heart. It it had been alive this maneuver surely would have killed it.
Raspar shoves his starknife in the way as Dori blocks the rest of the first attack coming his way. The bears jaws are widened as it latches around his shield. Dori swings his shield around to help protect Dakapos as they pair take minor damage from the fray thanks to all of their protections.

Kelvin places himself in a precarious position as he thrusts his spear through the creatures maw and out the back of it's head. Cabaguil covers the bear in flames as Kelvin yanks his spear free, killing the undead once more.

Dakapos fells the wounded bear with a couple of powerful strokes before moving onto the orange-hued bear, or maybe that is just dried blood. In an enraged fury he severs the spine of another undead bear as he works his way through the carnage of bodies.
The bear carvings each have glittering emeralds for eyes. Prying the six emeralds out of the crumbling stone is a simple matter, and each is worth 200 gp.
The south wall of this crumbling chamber contains a massive depiction of a mountain with an anvil at its peak. A slab of metal the size of a wagon stands in front of the image, apparently a combination of anvil and altar. Carved writing covers the other walls of this chamber, although the writing has crumbled away with the stone in several places. The chamber’s only exit leads north.
Jaggaki, the lich, labors here, aided by two stone giants who diligently copy runes and perform other menial tasks for him. The giants have their faces painted to look like skulls. While Jaggaki is deeply involved in his research the pair of giant's are on high alert from the sounds of combat nearby. The giant look down to Jaggaki, not paying any attention and the bear chamber, waiting to see what you do.

Cabaguil strides nervously a little into the chamber, though he dearly wants to stay behind the lines as he calls out to the lich, ”Lord Jaggaki! I am Cabaguil of the Rainbow Citadel. I hope you are well today. What is it you are doing, perhaps we can assist you?” As he calls out, he examines the lich, trying to find a weakness.
...and in case you want one...
"I am Cabaguil of the Rainbow Citadel."
Raspar says nothing, yet. He wonders internally if it would be internally useful for the lich to know the real name of the Citadel as maybe the lich likes rainbows.
He decides not to offer up the information now, but might later if it will help things.
Everyone likes rainbows.
|
|
The lich's creaks as he slowly turns around. His voice is raspy as small bits of dust leave his open maw when he talks. "Lord? You are not with those petty slavers." He cranes his head in amusement before considering your question. Jaggaki stands and runs his hands along the runes on the walls. "The writing around the room is in Jotun and predominantly consists of paeans to Minderhal— He Who Makes and Unmakes—and the labors of the souls who serve him in Stonepeak, Minderhal’s realm in Hell. The runes amid these are what are interesting. These carvings unlock secrets to summoning these souls and other devils from Stonepeak."
Kelvin nods his head as te runes make complete sense for the way Jaggaki explains them. Cuthberwyn and Dori on the other hand believe the carvings detail how this shrine was once used to open an extraplanar gate to a similar chamber within Stonepeak itself—a feat that requires longmissing ritual components to complete.
"Now, why are you really risking your lives? You decide to throw away your lives by visiting a lich and giants to speak of runes?" The menacing eyes glare into Cabaguil.
Raspar listens and lets Cabaguil continue to speak. He smiles at the nice lich.
Ðakaþos focuses everything on the lich, awaiting and suspecting the ultimate turn to violence.
Cabaguil, hoping the others are using the opportunity to move into position, holds his ground for now, still more or less alone in front of the beast. He tries to control the shaking in his voice as he answers, "That's an excellent question. Some would say we're here to bleed for others. Some for high adventure. Some, to be honest, might be here for the loot. Certainly there's a lot of it about."
"But mostly, I think we're an inquisitive lot. And when we find a lich mucking about, we wonder what they're doing. You know?"
He keeps on a steady line of blather for as long as he can, but it's clear to his allies at least, that he has no idea what to say.
Raspar remains quiet, but is also on the verge of extreme violence. He waits to see what happens.

When everyone has had their say, and moved into position, Cabaguil replies, ”Why we can put your spirit to rest. That’s how we can be of use to you!”
He then fires off a series of Magic Missiles (3) to begin the battle.
A small part of his brain hopes the lich doesn’t reflect the missiles back on him!

The missile batter into the bones and robes of Jaggaki. While they hurt he seems to shrug it off. "So quick to violence." Jaggaki utters an arcane word. "I won't be so easy to kill." As he finishes oily black hands reach up from the floor as dark blood fills the corridor. The tentacles arms grab at your ankles.

Cuthberwyn begins a jaunty tale to inspire the protections of his companions.
, and tries to have the tale linger.
He then uses a 6th level spell slot to try and dispel the black tentacles.

Cuthberwyn begins to inspire, even more so when his magic begins to dissipate the blackened blood pooling on the floor. The tentacles vanish as the magic overpowers the lich's spell freeing everyone.

Action 3: Trip
Kelvin rushes forward as the spell dissipates, his bounding steps bringing him to the lich. "Guess it's going to be like this."
He then works his spear, sweeping out to try and trip to Lich.

With a renewed bit of freedom Kelvin rushes in at the lich. Slamming into the giant lich's leg kelvin ends up knocking Jaggaki down to the ground.
Rushing around the side of the table the stone giant protector whips his club around at kelvin, tossing him back out into the middle of the room where the second stone giant wallops him against the wall, getting him far away from Jaggaki.

”Way to go Cuthberwyn! Well done!” Cabaguil cries out excitedly as the black tentacles slough off.
He’ll start by casting Flame Strike (6) . He positions it to effect the lich and the two giants (10’r) while avoiding Kelvin.
He’ll follow up with an Inspire Courage for his allies.

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]

Dori moves towards the closest giant and launches sling bullets!! (ohh wait, that's from another life) No bullets available, he swings his axe at the gaint's ankle. Then raises his shield awaiting to take the incoming assault.
"Get up, you're a dwarf! No sleeping when there are enemies on the field!" Dori shouts at Kelvin."I have this one you get the other one!"
Retributive strike:
If hit is successful, target gets 3 persistent good damage

The pair of stone giants get scorched by the holy flames as Jaggaki seems unharmed. Dori's axe chips away a large chunk of stone as a small boulder falls to the ground.
Raspar's starknife slings off into the lich's ribs as it rattles around, barely hurting the thick bones beneath the robes.
