Raspar, when Cabaguil is done being all fancy, moves toward area 2. Mostly because he wants to see what's over there.
"What we really need now is a nice gnomish dresser to round out the guest room that has the fancy bed," Raspar says hopefully, with his eyes on the big picture.
Cabaguil shares all he discovers, and follows Raspar toward area 2 with his see invisibility going.
|
A haunted mural fascinates those entering the room. Findeladlara encourages her followers to create art in the traditional elven styles, both as a testament to their ancestors’ deeds and to guide future generations. However, this cyclical homage has taken on an obsessive and haunted quality after millennia of proximity to evil.
As Raspar eyes the massive mural it seems t come to life as it draws the halfling closer and closer, draining his vitality into the mural.

”Raspar? Raspar, what are you doing? Raspar!”
Cabaguil extends his senses (link) to see the seen and unseen. He also has See Invisibility going as he studies the room (•>). He’ll do so with the aid of the Eye of the Wise (•>, +2 to seek).
(Eye)
If he can perceive anything, or even if he can’t he’ll try and figure out what’s going on (•>).
Cuthberwyn is alarmed as Raspar moves forward with no regard for himself. Wait! Come back! Cuth is exasperated as Cabaguil follows, though relieved to see he isn't mesmerized the same way, and the gnome hurries after,
He, too, tries to discern the root of the evil here.
Begin inspire defense for a +1 status bonus to AC and saves and resistance 4 to physical damage.

Kelvin's irritation comes through, seeing poor Raspar helplessly drawn in. He rushes forward with spear, slamming the butt of it against the mural in a hope that the thundering power of the weapon will destroy the mural.
|
|
Most of you recognize this as some sort of a haunting happening as Raspar draws closer and closer. Dori and Cuthberwyn chase after the halfling to try and stop him but Raspar is too quick, and determined.
Kelvin rushes in and destroys two of the squares as his spear rips through them with ease. About four more squares of the mural remain until it is destroyed beyond repair.
As Raspar stares into the painting you see pain streak across his face as he visibly ages. Kelvin also begins to feel the seeping effects of this haunted mural as it to drains his life.

Cabaguil doesn’t imagine his fires are going to do much to the murals, so he’ll cast Guidance on Raspar. He’ll follow it up with Inspire Courage for those assaulting the wall!
Lamenting the tragedy that has befallen the Elven art, Dak grits his teeth and tries to the destroy the mural. Warcry forgone, he apologizes to the ancients for what he must do:
for and and
Fort

Raspar continues to stare at the mural, agape and adrool.

Cuthberwyn moves forward and acts to bolster the party's defenses.

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 (=17). 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]

The three of you quickly tear through the remaining four panels as the mural crashes from the wall. Raspar's mural will never rest above his new kingly bedframe now.
Leaning against the southwest wall is a +2 greater striking mithral staff, traditionally passed from one steward of this area to another.
Raspar bemoans the broken mural, wishing he could restore the former glory. He looks back at Cuthberwyn.
"Hey Cuth, do you think all the goblin artisans could fix this mural? Might be a great piece for the Hall of Regrets in the Rainbow DC Citadel, don't you think? If they can fix it," Raspar asks hopefully, not being a good craftsman at all.
It's possible, Cuthberwyn replies, absently handing the mithral staff to Cabaguil. I don't know enough about art to say for sure. But if anyone can, it'd be them.
"Let's check the next chamber, but be wary. There may be more unpleasantness about."
He follows the others in their investigation.
"That was a travesty. And what a weapon. I wonder what legend lore it has."
Once secured, he also follows suit.
"Oh sand! I wonder if it's good quality sand, for the griffon litterbox," Raspar exclaims and then examines the quality of the sand. "Or do you think there is enough for nice children's sandbox?"
I suspect there'll be plenty about for whatever you have e in mind, where this gateway leads, Cuthberwyn says dubiously.
Cuth stands ready when everyone else is.
”Is this another gate?” Cabaguil wonders, casting Detect Magic and looking around - once he’s seen Raspar enter the area safely of course. No sense in being hasty.
He examines the alcove for more meaning as well, not just magic.
"Let's check the rest of the area before leaping through a portal."
"I agree Ðakaþos."
He'll head West but of course he lets Raspar go before him. He's a good bleeder.
"Here, let me lead. In case there's any traps," Kelvin says, making his way forward as the others follow along. He steps into the entryway to the area, instinctively looking for traps as he does so.
Raspar follows along, making a note to come back to get the good sand.

The group circles around to investigate the remainder of the rooms.
This small chapel hosts a polished granite-and-gold statue of a handsome elven woman in archaic robes, holding a staff and pointing with an outstretched finger toward the sky as if tracing an image. Along the room’s sides are scores of pots, brushes, chisels, charcoal sticks, and other art supplies.
The statue depicts Findeladlara. The art supplies correspond to a wide range of crafts and have been preserved by the chapel’s faint divine presence.
The next room appears to just be some form of temporary quarters at this resting station. This vaguely triangular room provided beds, food, and other accommodation for elves traveling through Alseta’s Ring. Now the seven alcoves hold only the fragile fragments of what were once beds, and the dusty remains of tables, bowls, and food pots lie scattered about the room.
Gathering the equipment there is little more to see other than Katapesh itself. Cabaguil holds the Guiding Chisel close near the portal to activate it as you each step through one by one.
As you exit the Duskgate Way Station, you step back into the middle of what appears to be Breachill’s incinerated ruins. A volcano has erupted beneath Citadel Altaerein, obliterating the fortress you have all been working so hard on and showering the surrounding area with lava bombs.
The Great Dreamhouse is set ablaze, Warbal and Kellen are screaming and trapped inside behind locked doors. Other structures have collapsed atop seriously injured townsfolk, innocents are stranded between narrow rivers of lava, and tremors have damaged the few viable shelters. All the while, bolts of red lightning course through the volcano’s cloud of ash, and the roiling mass takes the form of Dahak’s visage.
"What? Did someone set fire to the petunia garden?" Raspar looks on worriedly, wondering how this could have happened. He will rush to save people, especially the vulnerable.
Acrobatics or Athletics

Kelvin curses, immediately setting about helping the residents through sheer strength of muscle.
Cuthberwyn sets to work alongside Raspar and Kelvin.
Cabaguil gets to work triaging the damaged folk. He does what he can to soothe their injuries, though he's having a hard time coming to grips with what is happening. It seems so random!
"What upside-down reality IS this?" Dak ponders aloud as he tries his best to help. [ooc]Athletics Assurance = 33. If that fails, he'll roll:
|
|
First stirred by cultists’ movements and increasingly riled by your own travel through Alseta’s Ring, the manifestation of Dahak trapped within the portal’s network is increasingly eager for escape. Each time you use a portal in Alseta’s Ring, the manifestation strains against its weakening prison, and by this point it’s gained a limited degree of control over the space between the aiudara.
Raspar quickly bashes the door to the Great Dreamhouse in as he pulls Warbal and Kellen free where Cabaguil begins to work a bit of triage.
The ash cloud’s draconic appearance coalesces into a semisolid form and dives groundward, exploding into a choking pyroclastic flow that blocks all sight. Through this storm of ash, you can periodically sense Dahak circling around you as his dragonstorm wreaks havoc in the surrounding area. The voice booms overhead.
(messengers ring)
"Oh, put a sock in it. Our efforts haven't been futile for weeks and months. We're powerful now, see, and we will overcome you!"
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
[ooc]Hoping that Lore DCs are lower....
"This is your way. It is predictable and disappointing. You're not even original. It's nearly a verbatim recitation of Ashardalon, Dunklezahn, and Ghondalaath."
Yet every foe you have sent against us has fallen. Every. One. Cuthberwyn speaks above the dragonstorm, but his tone is quite steady. Your failures manifest again and again. These words are just so much hot air.
"I know you, Dahak! I know you well! Your goals will be for nothing, your power and presence weak! You've got the subtlety of a blazing inferno, making it ever so easy to be one step ahead of you!"
|
|
It seems the doom-mongering seems to get to your group in the realization that none of the forces you have faced so far have have had anything to do with Dahak himself but rather all machinations of the Scarlet Triad.
The dragonstorm collapses in on itself into a solid draconic form that towers over you. "I have sent no such foes against you. My presence along would have been felt by all." The voice bellows as the Essence of Dahak rears back ready to attack.

Cabaguil doesn’t do his best work in melee, so he attempts to drop back 25’ (•>) before quickly seeing if he can maybe weaken it with a Ray of Enfeeblement
With the thing right in Dak's face, he wastes no time butting his bastard sword to work:
and and
Cuthberwyn shakes his head. Oh, you have, perhaps unwittingly, he says, beginning a tale of Belmazog and their use of a red dragon — he is careful not to name the dragon — for their own aims. The tale reminds his companions of their successes and bolsters them.
Cuth then seeks to slow the essence of Dakak down.
|
|
Raspar's starknife sparks off of the dragon's thick scales, barely leaving a scratch as Dori leaps into the air with his hammer.
Dori and Dakapos do not fair any better as their weapons don't seem strong enough to get through Dahak's natural armor.
Cuthberwyn sees a breath of flames incoming and tries to slow the dragon and protect the group.
The essence of Dahak slows slightly as Cabaguil's ray misses. Kelvin's axe swings in and cracks the nail on one of the dragon's limbs as Dahak releases the fires, enveloping all of you. "The end is coming! This is but the first of many devastations. Wherever you go, my fury shall follow..."
The breath hurtles each of you back as you are enveloped in a near blinding wave of painful cinders. Opening your eyes as you regain your footing the environment looks different. The essence of Dahak is nowhere in sight as it seems the powerful breath has blown you free from the Duskgate Vision and into your original destination near Katapesh.
The cinders begin to cool as all that remains is an incredible sandstorm surrounding the area for roughly a three mile radius. This makes it difficult to see anything further out than 50 feet and greatly hampers your movement.
The Duskgate exit stands out in the open, where the heavily weathered archway has long since toppled onto the dusty earth. This awkward alignment causes those who step from it to stumble or even be flung by the transferred force of their departure, landing harmlessly to one side of the aperture. For
all its erosion and apparent damage, the gate remains functional. Its easily buried profile has kept it hidden from those who might recognize its origin, and its weathered exterior has convinced scavengers that it’s not worth dismantling for raw material.
The toppled aiudara is positioned near a granite obelisk that stands atop a nearby rise on the outskirts of Finderplain. Propped against one side of the obelisk are the sand-blasted remains of a recently slain gnome wearing ragged heavy desert clothing. At the corpse’s side is a small satchel containing a waterskin, a week’s rations, and seven letters addressed to various parties in the city of Katapesh. Six of these are worried missives to gnome family members, and the seventh is an official plea for help from Soukmaster Satla Kivarn to the Pactmasters. Each letter speaks of the terrifying dust storms and haunting wails that had been plaguing the town of Finderplain.
Of more immediate concern to you is the raging dust storm that’s ravaging a roughly 3-mile-radius area surrounding Finderplain.

”I guess we’ll have to wait to fight him until we get better!” Cabaguil shouts in the storm. He suggests whomever has the gourd that they get it out and use it so the party can have some shelter to heal their blistering skin away from the sandstorm.
He gathers the gnome and passes his things to the group as he examines the body quickly.
