Heading south, the western door leads to a hallway that goes back to the red light room.
The eastern side opens into a vast chamber where fifteen transparent pillars fill the center of this 30-foot-high room. A bright light shines down into the center of each chamber. A catwalk 10 feet above the ground circles around the edge of the room without handrail or banister. Stairs lead up to the catwalk by your western door.
Yan Seeks into the room. Shall we circle along the catwalk…
Peeking into the room a bit closer, the NW pillar is blackened as though something fiery exploded on the inside. Many seem to contain some sort of monster as though frozen in time. Several are empty.
Scarred One looks through the creatures "What is this? Prison cells? Some sick display?"
He looks at the passage around.
"Hmm... Could be spare parts for a fleshwarper, or someone is storing creatures to use later for some nefarious reason?"
No visible controls although with enough force you could probably break one open. The walkway does just seem for observation purposes.
The creature in the closest "pillar" appears to be a chuul. Various other monsters exist in the other ones, although one appears dead instead of standing unmoving.
In the back corner of the room an incorporeal being of fire materializes in the back corner. You can feel a palpable sense of burning hatred coming from the creature as it quickly flies in your direction.
The creature made of green flame rips open a hole in reality. From the flaming rip flies out an Eye of Empty Death.
The Wisp immediatly goes dark and flies towards you at rapid speed, it's reflection gives away it's location though.

More Wisps! Yan strides forward, Smites, and strikes:
The old one moves forwards past Yan and smashes wisp with his shield
But he has hard time finding the creature. "You stuffed pumpkin, I will crush you to pieces!"
Scarred One had trouble locating the creature with refelctions, while Yan who has spent much more time in front of a mirror smites and connects with the Wisp!
Oorgatch moves around, attempting to get a flank on the eye of empty death. He also tries to tumble.
Finally, he stabs, but gets only thin air.
Oorgatch tumbles though, but not with a lot of margin.
The now sparkly Eye is much more visible.
The green flame skins along the ground effortlessly reaching the corner where it wordlessly spits a bolt of flame at Oorgatch.
On a Success or worse you're enveloped in sickly green flames. (Doesn't do damage or otherwise stop you from taking your turn. Think of flame engulfing your vision like the old Arch-Vile from Doom.
The Eye focuses its lightning on Oorgatch as well, lighting itself up.
It then flies up and over to threaten the back lines and drive fear into the party.
Scarred One can't connect with the rapidly moving wisp however.

Yan enters his marshal stance and strikes, not needing to Smite since the wisp attacked an ally. Begone, Wisp! Ashava's servant is here!
Critical Success Your marshal's aura increases to a 20-foot emanation and grants you and allies a +1 status bonus to attack rolls and saves against mental effects.
Success As critical success, but your aura's size doesn't increase.
Failure You fail to enter the stance.
Critical Failure You fail to enter the stance and can't takee this action again for 1 minute.
Choose:
- The ally is unharmed by the triggering damage.
- The ally gains resistance to all damage against the triggering damage equal to 8. After the damaging effect is applied, the enemy becomes enfeebled 2 until the end of its next turn.
- Yan will make it stupefied 2 for the same duration if it's a caster or looks like one
Scarred One moves towards the skull and tries to hit it with his shield
Then he raises it
Yan inspires his allies and hits the wisp once.
Scarred One is not as accurate, as before the Eyes of Empty Death are quite hard to hit.
Oorgatch ignores the green thing, and it’s fiery aura.
He then moves to attack, attempting to tumble.
He fails, so he swears and stabs.
|
Oorgatch becomes engulfed in vile green flames. They don't seem to hurt at least, but they sure seem like bad news.
Oorgatch can't manage to tumble well or land a hit. Sendoski does successfully blast the wisp with his wand though.
The creature of green flame sends a green bolt at Yan.
On a Success or worse you're enveloped in sickly green flames. (Doesn't do damage or otherwise stop you from taking your turn. Think of flame engulfing your vision like the old Arch-Vile from Doom.
The Wisp blinks furiously at Sendoski, whispering evils.
But it can't scare the witch so it goes for a zot.
Yan protects Sendoski from most of the damage and stupefies the wisp.
The wisp lands unceremoniously on the ground in it's space.

Scarred One takes a step and helps to flank the skull, then he swings his shield twice
With two well placed hits, Scarred One crushes the creature
"I told you, that I will smash you!"
Corner the flaming one!
Yan wreathed in flames triple moves around to behind the incorporeal creature, hoping Oorgatch can flank on the other side.
The one who isn't me!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Takes both hits but Scarred One pops the wisp.
Oorgatch takes Yan’s cue and rushes across to flank.
He then attempts to stab.
|
Oorgatch makes it over and connects, his ghost touch enabling him to do damage.
Attacking the ghostly flame is dangerous however as it reacts with a retaliatory strike.
The fire from it's caress ignites Oorgatch's Green Flame!

pew pew pew.
The magic missiles are effective!
The green flame creature reaches out to caress Oorgatch with its flames again.
The flaming creature then raises both arms as flame extends from its eyes and mouth, engulfing Oorgatch.
The creature seems to dim a bit after using so much energy.

Party is up! (Oorgatch might be unconscious)
Yan smites…
Even if a flank is available it's not enough for Yan to hit.
Scarred One moves closer and sends a bolt of cold at the creature
"How do you like some cold?"
Scarred One's ray of cold hits, but only does about half damage.
Sendoski seeing Oorgatch heading back moves closer and casts soothe.
Oorgatch's fleeing hit also strikes true.
The creature wreathed in green flame turns to Yan and fires a bolt.
But misses, it then ignites the flames around Yan.

Scar-Doski are up!
The lifeless eyes of green flame stare back.
Scarred One withstands the curse "Your flames do not bother me, the son of Nature will not be burned by your wretched magic."
He swings his shield at the creature
Then he extends his hand "Let us see if you are undead"
Scared One is also engulfed in green flames.
The Green flaming creature recoils and takes full damage from the spell even if Scarred One misses with his shield. It still takes its retaliatory caress.
Yan protects Scarred One from the worst of it
(15+5-9) + (9-9) = 11
The good news is the flames soon die out.
The incorporeal undead green flame then flies past Scarred One.
Scarred One can't quite connect though.
It then unleashes a hideous scream
But nothing happens.

Yan smiles at their good fortune. He moves forward; his weapon thrums with Ashava's grace.
Scarred one casts the spell again
Than he moves closer
The tide seems to be turning for our intrepid adventurers!
A crit from Yan!
Oorgatch also hits!
Scarred One circles around and finishes it off with another disrupt undead!
After everyone heals yan searches the room. I shouldn't read a book while I'm on fire, should I? Maybe I can try. We need to save the mayor's daughter, where's that Denizen of Leng?
The creatures inside appear to be in some sort of stasis. Nine contain living creatures, generally aberrations, including a chuul and a drider along with several creatures you suspect are quite powerful.
There's a dead mess in one of them, some sort of strange fleshwarp, likely a Gogiteth. A Slavering nightmare of teeth, eyes, and hairy spiderlike legs, even in death its horrible appearance is seared into your minds.
The NW pillar is seriously blackened, whatever it contained has been incinerated. Further investigation of it leaves a psychic impression of Belcorra trapped a hag in this pillar burning her to death, and binding her spirit as the creature of green flame.
The soot blackened pillar seems to have a few items in it, but it's hard to make out exactly what they are. Breaking any pillar should be relatively easy although freeing any of the monsters might be a bad idea.
