He looks back at the ring for a moment, before heading back down the stairs, and past the halfling, angling his way towards the hallway behind her. "Which one is the bathroom? I could really use it right now."
"Insist away. Maybe when we sit down to dinner if you have really small chairs. And I'll pass on the drink, I'm trying to take better care of my health."
”It’s amazing how rude home invaders truly are - they bully their way past and ignore the rules of the house. A shame really, and we were having so much fun. I was so looking forward to drinks!”
Each of them changes shape in an instant, becoming rather more feral!
The halfling servant becomes a small creature which looks like a well-dressed and jewelry-bedecked fiendish gnome, its face mostly mouth and fangs. She also begins a bardic performance, aiding her companions and herself in battle.
- - -
The other two slough off their forms as well. These finely robed and nimble fiends have six colorful vipers in place of arms, and long, forked tongues in their fanged mouths.
- - -
The halfling/evil gnome pouts when their shape changing doesn’t have the desired affect of cowing you. ”You were supposed to look surprised at least!”
Kart takes a moment to examine his enemies, who have proven to be jerks.

Six hits for 47 damage and 6 saves. The rounds are not cumulative, so if you fail once, you can stop saving and just be confused (link) briefly.
Blue yearns to do the same, but is directed by the evil gnome to Muri. His snake arms writhe and launch multicolored energy beams! For each hit Muri takes a little damage and has a DC 19 Fort save to avoid the effects of the beam listed after the damage. One save per hit.

Kamari takes a 5' step to close on one of the many-limbed vipers and tries to slow it down by staggering it. She aims for its center, hoping to avoid the many mouths.
Arms: The target takes no damage from the attack, but it drops one carried item of the swashbuckler’s choice, even if the item is wielded with two hands. Items held in a locked gauntlet cannot be chosen.
Head: The target is confused for 1 round. This is a mind-affecting effect.
Legs: The target is knocked prone. Creatures with four or more legs or that are immune to trip attacks are immune to this effect.
Torso or Wings: The target is staggered for 1 round.

Burned and burning, staggered from his fall from Underfoot's saddle, and Muri only has time to process what the Professor says about piercing weapons. Oh, and something, something 'good'... So Muri forces himself to consciously Smite Blue.

Muri singes a little as he focuses his holy energy on blue. Elen resists for a while, but eventually succumbs to the enchantment. Major Kort changes his weaponry. Kamair staggers the creature with a stab (though DR applied). Edelmira prepares to overcome their DR.
Red, with some time and space, will use it to cast a spell. There’s an explosion of sound upon Edelmira, Elen, and Kamari. Each take no save. You do get a save, Fort DC 15, to avoid being stunned. A stunned creature drops everything held, can’t take actions, takes a –2 penalty to AC, and loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any).
Staggered, green can only take one shot - so he takes it at Kamari, for he does not like to be slowed thusly.

Blue leaps over to Underfoot, charging him with a bite as well.

Underfoot wheels around to bite at the viper behind her, only to understand too late that it's her own tail she chomps down on...
Muri leans around the crazed malinois to loose four arrows at the horrid viperous foe.
Extremely vexed that Underfoot won't move out of his way, Muri lashes out with a fierce quickness, loosing one more arrow in a fervent attempt to harry Blue.
The Night Swan steps up to the nearby multi-armed menace and takes two probing swings.

DR applied, but it’s a lot of pain. Major Kort hits three times, thanks to invisibility. Kamari drops her blade and punches herself, to the delight of green. Edelmira has less luck and misses twice.
Green continues to press Kamari, fearful of the staggering blow she can bring to bear.

Underfoot seems to take the pain in her side to remain completely cognizant of the danger she faces. She obeys Muri when he growls low to get behind him. The halfling then proceeds to hail arrows down on Blue in answer to the blows against his dog.

Round 3, part 2
Kamari picks up Koriana's blade and moves up to threaten the gnome.
Muri and the burn ends! He drops blue on the third shot, leaving his crit to hit red, or try to (per ooc). Elen flatfoots green, smacking him hard, though DR applies. Major Kort tries to drop back and heal, but he get clipped on the way. Still, he stops the bleed. Edelmira whomps on green, splattering snake heads everywhere - which takes some doing with a piercing weapon! Kamari delays slightly and then moves into position on the dirty gnome.
Red, watching her two allies drop so quickly, decides It’s time to leave. She moves up, provoking from Elen, and tries to tumble through the Major.

Major Kort gets an AoO if he has a melee weapon, and the evil gnome is stuck for the moment! She swears in a tongue none of you have heard before and awaits your attacks...

Muri scurries forward, not sure what he'll see when he emerges from the eastern hallway. When he still sees the mirrored menace, he tries to lessen the count.
edit:
Kamari also has an AoO on the gnome...
(sorry Muri!)

| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Muri spins around the corner and plants a very solid shot into an image! Elen, including the AoO, swats away two images and plants a solid blow. Major Kort strips the last image and plants two in her! Edelmira plants one and demoralizes the poor woman, drawing the AoO. Kamari’s AoO strips an image earlier, and she also provokes, but dodges any penalty to gain an advantage spinning the poor gnome’s mind! She also hits her solidly, and she drops!
With her collapse the room grows quiet again. We are out of initiative.
Bleeding his own blood, Professor Kart will take a hit off the wand of CLW after Muri, Underfoot, Kamari, & Elen have had their fill.
CLW
”Okay…let’s agree that that wasn’t what we wanted. Shall we move on?” Kart asks when others have healed. He will follow, probably through the nearby double single doors.
While he waits, he will check the area with Detect Magic.
Perception
Muri frowns a little on the third and fourth self tap, fearing that he's running the wand completely out of divine magic, but keeps going, leaving Underfoot fully restored, himself a little nicked.
It likely leaves the halfling and malinois to bring up the rear, while the lesser injured pry open closed/locked doors on the first floor. He wonders how many more hornets are waiting for them on the other floors...
He does close the front door, like he did at Kunefe, so they may infiltrate the Manor uninterrupted.
"Yes, let's move on, look for traps and ransack this place."
You search and heal up a bit. The snake-armed monsters have no loot, being truly servants as far as you can tell. Evil gnome lady however had a lesser silent metamagic rod (3,000gp), and a wand of acid arrow (37chgs, 3,330gp). She also has keys to the house, and an emerald brooch (400gp).
And then there’s the ring under glass. You can all see it well enough now, though only Muri has approached the bell jar that covers it. And when he did he resisted its lure, but only just. I don’t remember who saw it (Major Kort and Elen maybe?) but a couple of you saw a magical trap on the same bell jar.
Kamari bugs Kort for a few taps of the healing wand.
Then Kamari helps look about. She hasn't noticed the ring yet but might in passing or if her attention is drawn to it.
Kamari sees the trap glowing on the bell jar. What happens when it triggers is unknown. Some spell or other no doubt.
I don't believe Major Kort can disarm magical traps, so who wants the ring?
Kart offers to shoot the glass trap from afar, hoping that will set off the trap. If so, he will wait for others to move away before hitting it with a magical cold iron bolt.
Kast cheats and the glass shatters, revealing the ring.
Stylistic flourishes and a stout design suggest dwarves had a hand in forging this thick ring. The precise engineering of the small moving parts shows the fine artistry that went into creating the item. The ring features two carved symbols that flank a faceted onyx: one resembles the flag of Taldor, and the other depicts the eye of Aroden.
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
Pleased that he has ruined all the fun for someone, Kart will carefully examine the ring with Detect Magic.
Spellcraft
The Night Swan tops herself off while the Major does his thing. ”We should move quickly in case there are other ‘staff’ about.”
"Good thinking, ah, Kart. What is it?" Elen looks over Kort's shoulder at the ring.
She follows the others in investigating the eastern corridor, or whereever is decided.
Major Kort finds it is a dwarven relic, likely granted to some high-born noble of Taldor no doubt, in antiquity.
Each of the three elements can be activated once per day to use a certain spell: the Taldan flag for hold person (DC 13), the eye of Aroden for prayer, and the onyx for stone shape.
Encircling the ring is a second metal band that rotates in place and is studded with a single diamond. If the diamond is aligned with one of the symbols, the wearer gains a +2 luck bonus on certain saving throws: saves against enchantment spells and spell-like abilities if aligned with the Taldan flag, against evil effects if aligned with the eye of Aroden, or against earth and poison effects if aligned with the onyx. Aligning the ring with a symbol is a full-round action.
"We should move quickly in case there are other ‘staff’ about.”
"I agree." Muri mounts Underfoot, and the two bound up the stairs to the north, sure that they'll be left alone, given the recent noise of combat and the proximity of the first floor rooms.
Already a long time fan of Aroden, Kart will finger the ring and set it to Aroden for the time being.
”I agree. Lead on, Muri.”
The ring is a bit snug on Major Kort's finger, but he gets it on well enough. Might be tough getting it off again, but at least the finger isn't swelling, so it's not that tight. And it thrums with power...
It’s easy to see into the next chamber, and it’s gorgeous! A long table made of a deep purple wood is set with porcelain tableware. Each plate is painted in beautifully intricate geometric patterns. The table is worth at least 500gp - made from a rich wood from the Mwangi Expanse. ‘Course it’s also 400lbs, so I’ll assume you leave it behind. Still, that’s a nice table. Sure would look good at Betony.
The place settings are also an improvement over what’s at the Estate. I mean, you might not use it every day, but for special occasions this is quite a nice set (300gp if you decide to sell it). Near the door to what must be the kitchen, is an Oil of Arcane Lock of all things.
Just to move us along a tiny bit, Muri GMPC opens the door. Decorative blue and sienna tiles decorate the walls of this large, well appointed kitchen. The hearth burns day and night without the need for fuel, thanks to a bound elemental spirit created with Keleshite magic centuries ago, during the last Qadiran occupation.
The place is immaculate and warm. The door here that doesn’t lead out into the hall, is locked.
The first locked door is tried with Oaca's keys. Should it lead to another room on the first floor, Muri proceeds through it. Should it lead up or down, Muri chooses instead to leave through the south door, and attend to the hallway doors first.
