Sorry for the silence but yesterday I was flying from the US to Spain. Next Wednesday/Thursday I will lose another day flying from Spain to Australia.

Kka ponders Fuìn's question. "I don't know if Morlibint is the best guy to talk to about the ruby. This seems more up Wrin's alley. We should talk to her first."

I was also under the impression it was the same day. Sorry!

Nah, seems like I didn't do a good job at conveying it's the next day. That's on me.

Lough goes roaming throughout town asking for the Motley Man, or someone completely cloaked in clothing. No one has seen anyone fitting that description in Otari, but one regular at the Crook's Nook says, "You've been hanging around the lighthouse a lot lately, right? Stories are already circulating around town about what you've found down there. Seems like that Motley Man wouldn't be out of place among the weird things out there."

---

Do people want to have a day of downtime, to do some personal stuff and see what happens with Fuìn before going down, or wanna continue straight away?

Kvit approaches whoever is gathered at the Crook's Nook, which is turning out to be the groups defacto meeting place.

"I think we should continue down to the next floor." He glances over at Fuìn meaningfully. "Whatever is going to happen with this denizen, it won't happen in one day. Though I would like to stop by Wrin's and see if she has any better insight. Plus she would probably like an update on our progress anyway."

I'm good with heading back down immediately, for the reasons above. Plus if Lough thinks the Motley Man might be in the lighthouse, we might as well start there.

Lough heads over to the Crook's Nook after gathering his intel.

"Motley Man is in the Vault. Let's go get him!"

You would swear that his eyebrows grew twice their own length overnight...

Fuin slaps his forehead. "Why didn't I think of Wrin? Of course she's the person to ask. I swear, she knows a little about everything."

At Lough's outburst, he shakes his head, then does a double-take. "Did your--?" He stumbles on the words, then coughs. "Never mind. Must be my imagination. Anyway. Kka and Kvit are right. No harm stopping in and asking Wring about the ruby first, but then I agree we should hit the tower again. I wouldn't mind doing a quick check of the floors that have already been cleared; wouldn't surprise me if some nasties have taken up residence in the empty halls. Nature, vacuums, et cetera."

Having gathered at the Crook's Nook, and after hearing what everyone had figured out, Kka sits back in her chair. "So the baad guy messing with the mayor's girl is in the Vaults somewhere? How convenient. It means we'll run into Mr Motley eventuaally, assuming we live thaat long <Ark!, ark!>"

Her face turns dark as she verbalizes her stream of thought. "Thaat's a long way from here though. He's using the ruby to chaannel his power, so maybe all we need to do is destroy the ruby to break the connection? Thaat might hurt the girl though. And why this paarticular girl? Whaat's so special about her that would interest this denizen of Leng? Is it because of her latent psychic powers? Clearly he's making use of them to contaact her. Is there some way we can strengthen the girl's mental defenses to help her resist the denizen? How do we do thaat? Maybe Wrin knows something. But whaatever caan be done on this end, the final solution is to traack down this Motley Maan in the vaults and finish him off before it's too late for the girl."

Fuin blanches at the realization that breaking the ruby could hurt Dorianna. "Didn't even think of that. I mean, there's probably things somebody could teach her to help her resist this creature, but you're gonna have to convince the kid first. She seems pretty adamant that this Motley Man is her friend." He shakes his head. "All this crap is way beyond me. I say we talk to Wrin, see if she has any ideas. If not... " He glances down at the bundle. "Well, then I guess we just have to hope taking the ruby away from her is enough for now, and head back into the Gauntlight."

He doesn't say it, but the fact that this 'Motley Man' is in the Gauntlight ruins is actually a huge relief to him. He'd been starting to think the only way to find this douchebag and rearrange its face would be to hunt it in dreams. The fact that it probably has a corporeal form and he can smash it repeatedly with his meteor hammer for assaulting a child is a load off his shoulders.

Of course, that still doesn't necessarily make Dorianna any safer in the interim. He scratches the bridge of his nose, wishing he was smarter. Dad was smart. Or at least clever. Fuin is well aware he has several fine qualities; it's just that cleverness was never one of them.

You finish your business with Mayor Menhemes, saying that you don't have any immediate remedies, but you'll look into things to help Dorianna. Kka fixes Fuìn a nice bed at the Crook's Nook, where she can keep an eye on him while he keeps the ruby in his possession.

You make some final preparations, then head to the lighthouse once more. You descend the spiral staircase until you're about halfway, where the next level of this seemingly endless complex awaits you.

The wide spiral staircase continues downward, leveling out long enough to pass by a single door leading east and a hallway leading west to a double door. The space between them has a rounded, cloudy window overlooking a large pool in a natural cavern. A dim orange glow emanates from far below and, with it, a sulfurous stench.

The window is cloudy and you can't make out details, but you see an enormous shape lying half in, half out of the water.

There are doors to the east and west, and the staircase continues down even more.

Hero Point for everyone for reaching level 6, and one more Hero Point for Fuìn for a cool character moment and accepting the Leng ruby.

Kka looks through the cloudy window to see if she can make out what the creature might be. She gives up. "<Sigh!> I caan't make out what's in there. But whaatever it is, it's big." She then turns to the two doors heading west. "I guess this is as good a way to go as any." She checks the doors before Lough does his usual job of leading them in.

Nodding to Kka, Lough opens the door.

You could swear his beard looked fuller on the left side than it did on the right.

Lough opens the door.

Rust and grime fill this octagonal chamber. A wide hallway leads to the south.

When you look up, you see the rusty grate from the previous level hanging above you.

Not hearing the sounds of impending battle when Lough opens the door, Kka slips into the octagonal chamber for a closer look.

She then crosses over to the door directly opposite and gives it the once over.

Nothing jumps out at Kka to attack her as she crosses the room. She looks around for valuables, traps, or hidden treasure, but finds nothing of the sort. Similarly, the room to the west seems like it's completely fine.

The mossy walls of this pebble-strewn cavern extend upward to a ceiling 30 feet high.

It looks like this cave connects to the room you saw through the window. You hear heavy breaths of several large creatures echoing throughout the cavern.

Kvit tries to examine the scene through the cloudy window. "Sneakers, you stay here for now, watch that, let me know if it moves."

.

"Aye aye boss! I'll just stay here and away from any danger, don't you worry."

.

Kvit follows Kka and Lough through the open room towards the next door.

H*CK! Thanks! ^_^

Fuin follows Kka into the room, creeping up to the southern corridor and peering down it.

"Hmm. More doors down here." He glances at the door in front of the rogue. "Probably leads to that... thing, whatever it is. Not in a hurry to meet that."

Kka follows the curve of the cave just enough to confirm that it leads to the larger cave they saw earlier through the cloudy window. "Looks like it joins up to the cave with the big critter we saw earlier. In fact, it sounds like there are several of them there. We feel like dealing with them now? I'm guessing thaat they aren't going to be too friendly."

Kvit shakes his head, "I don't see a reason to go down there and find out yet. I have sneakers posted at the window just to see if they even move. Maybe they're dead down here after all this time."

He walks back to the junction. "Let's keep moving forward now."

At Kvits's remark, Kka shrugs. "Pretty sure I heard several laarge creatures breathing in that cave, so I'm guessing they're probably not dead... or not dead dead, if you know whaat I mean."

Kka laughs at Cherry's comment. "<Ark, ark!> You've got me there Cherry. We've talked our way out of a few fights, but yeah, friendly is a bit of a stretch."

"Anyway, while you guys decide, I'm going to check the next set of doors." She works her way down the hallway and examines the next set of doors.

Kka examines the door. The door is unremarkable and does not seem trapped, but she can hear wet squelching noises, as if someone's walking through mud on the other side.

Kka returns to the group. indicating the doors she just checked down the corridor, she says, "There's definitely something wet and moving around behind those doors there. I'm guessing thaat it's also not going to be friendly. Shaall we check it out?"

Lough opens the door "Alright, everyone warmed up? Let's get this Motley Mud Man!" presuming that, having fixated upon his foe, he is the one on the other side of the door breathing heavy and sloshing around!


Slides Loot sheet

Lough opens the door.

Metal shelves and operating tables hint at this room’s original purpose. Clean bones and bits of rusted metal lie in piles throughout the rest of the room.

The reason for the sloshing is immediately apparent. Two giant blobs of slime roam around mindlessly, sucking up any detritus and spitting out what they can't digest. When they notice the door opening, they quiver in anticipation of new food.

Kvit recognises these blobs as ochre jellies. Like most oozes, they're acidic slimes brought to some semblance of life. They're not particularly fast and they typically attack by grabbing hold of you and squeezing the life out of you. The most important thing to know is that if you attack them with piercing, bludgeoning, or electricity, they split, creating an additional ooze, each with half the HP of the original.

Kvit eyes the various weaponry on everyone and barks a warning "We need to smash these, no slashing or piercing weapons or they'll multiply! Blunt force only!" He points over the Cherry, "And no electricity!"

Kvit slams his staff down and sends two streaks of fire, one at each creature.

"Blunt force, eh?" Fuin strides in, casually swinging the heavy iron ball on its chain, the runes etched into the metal leaving trails of light on the eyes of anyone watching it. "I'm familiar with it."

He moves past one of the jellies and steps aside to let others pass the tables into the room, then lobs his meteor hammer at the northerly goo pile before throwing up a faint disc of shadowy force.

Kka lines up behind Lough and Fuìn as the door is kicked open revealing the two jellies. When Kvit mentions that bludgeoning is the only safe way to get rid of these things, she sighs heavily. "Oh, thaat's just great! I might as well sit this one out then. Good luck guys."

If my memory serves, Jellies and similar tend to be proof against precision damage, so Kka's Sneak Attack is likely to be useless. This means that the best Kka can hope for with a successful punch (her only bludgeoning attack) is to inflict 1d4 damage, and maybe crit it to double that and possibly make it Slowed 1 until the end of her next turn.

Just to confirm her suspicions, she darts into the room and up to the jelly that Fuìn just attacked; delivers a single punch to it with her handwrapped fist; and leaves the room.

Kvit shares what he knows about ochre jellies, then lights them on fire. It seems to work pretty well.
Fuìn walks up and thwaps one with his meteor hammer, then protects himself.
Kka tries to flank one out of habit, but notices the precision damage isn't coming through. As before, I'll let you use DEX to damage on unarmed.

Lough went ahead of his initiative, will do him afterwards.

Cherry Berry moves to a better position and suddenly a giant blast of noise reverberates through the room.

Fort Pink: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31
Fort Red: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

Pink looks mildly perturbed and wiggles angrily, but Red is sloshing back and forth, as if it's wobbling on its feet.

Pink moves closer to Fuìn, provoking a reaction from him. Pink then extends a slimy pseudopod and thwaps Fuìn with it.

The pseudopod then coils around Fuìn and holds him in place.

The movement happened first, so that's the reaction I'll go with. AoO on Pink. I pre-rolled the AoO and put it in my Reactions spoiler. If you don't want me to pre-roll, let me know and I'll stop. I just figured it would save time.

Fuin grumbles as he tries to maneuver enough to swing the meteor hammer at the oozes.

So the grabbed condition doesn't say anything about not being able to use 2-handed weapons, which is weird to me but probably only because I'm still used to the old 1e rules. If Pink drops from the first attack (or the AoO) then he'll switch to Red.

Meteor Hammer vs Pink/Red: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28 B Dmg: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11
Meteor Hammer vs Pink/Red, MAP: 1d20 + 16 - 5 ⇒ (5) + 16 - 5 = 16 B Dmg: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 7) + 4 = 12

↺ Reactions:

Fuìn will react to whichever condition is met first.
If X Strides/Casts a Spell: Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27 B Dmg: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11
If X Attacks An Ally: Cast protector’s sacrifice.
If Fuìn Is Attacked: Shield Block (Hardness 10).

Kvit points at the piles of cleaned bones and launches several at one of the oozes. pink
telekinetic projectile: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 might have light cover
Bludgeoning: 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 5, 1) + 4 = 14

Then raises a shield of force despite being much safer out in the hallway.

Are those light brown things the operating tables? If so, what kind of terrain are they?

Kka is surprised by the extra damage that her fist inflicted on the jelly. "I guess I don't know my own strength."

Shrugging, she runs in and gives the same jelly another punch in the side before dodging back again.

Action 1 (◆): Stride (35 feet)

Action 2 (◆): Strike (+1 Fist) with Thief Racket vs Pink Jelly.

Ah, thanks for that. I said that out of habit, pre-rolling is fine.

Yeah, that still trips me up as well sometimes.

Shield is verbal only. No need for a flat check.

Yeah, they're operating tables. Let's call them difficult terrain to climb.

Fuìn's hammer whips through the air and hits Pink as it moves closer. He then hits Pink twice more as he's grabbed, then protects himself.
Kvit hits Pink with undigestible detritus, careful to not use any shar-looking implements.
Kka moves in and out again, delivering a wet thwap to Pink as she passes by.

Cherry Berry is up! Pink looks heavily wounded, but is still going strong.

Botting Cherry Berry to keep things going.

Cherry Berry throws a Divine Lance at Pink, then shields themselves.
Attack roll vs Pink: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
Spirit damage: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 1) = 9
Yeah, I'm using Remaster rules. :)

Pink releases Fuìn and starts slapping the other guy next to it that's hurting it, Lough.

Pseudopod: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
Bludgeoning: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 and acid: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

A tendril then slithers around Lough, grabs him tight, and starts squeezing.

Lough, please make me a basic DC 23 Fortitude save for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 bludgeoning and 1d4 ⇒ 3 acid damage.

Red meanwhile happily keeps squeezing the life out of Fuìn.

Fuìn, please make me a basic DC 23 Fortitude save for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 bludgeoning and 1d4 ⇒ 2 acid damage.
Fuìn, please make me a basic DC 23 Fortitude save for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 bludgeoning and 1d4 ⇒ 1 acid damage.

With its last action, it keeps hold of Fuìn.

Kka looks over at Lough and Fuìn and determines that they aren't sufficiently wounded yet for her to get too concerned. She clambers over the table and runs around behind the pink jelly that is now attacking Lough, giving it a solid whack with her fist before retreating again.

Action 1 (◆): Stride (35 feet)

Action 2 (◆): Strike (+1 Fist) with Thief Racket vs Flat-Footed Pink Jelly.

Fist Attack: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 1 = 28 vs Flat-Footed
Fist Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 bludgeoning damage with DEX to damage

DC 23 Fort #1: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

DC 23 Fort #2: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

If Lough fails his Fort save, I'll use protector's sacrifice on him.

Fuin barely feels the second squeeze, and feels the first squeeze not at all. "Kinda tickles," he grunts, then goes back to slapping these murder flans silly.

Again, I'll switch targets if Pink drops.

Losing a clear line of sight, Kvit cautiously enters the room and keeps the tables between him and the oozes.

He tries flinging more blunt detritus against the nearest ooze. "Duck!"

Slides Loot sheet

Kka runs in, baps Pink, then runs out again.
Fuìn whirls his hammer through the air and keeps hitting Pink. Pink dissolves after his last attack.
Lough attacks the blob first with his usual mechanical arm, then... his own hair? However he does that, it seems to be effective. He then boosts his lifeforce, slowly regaining hit points.
Kvit then hurls more debris through the room, hitting Red.

Imma call combat here. The blob has 100 more HP, but its damage output can't outpace yours to be a threat. It's just a big bag of HP at this point. It takes one or two more rounds, but eventually you pound it into dust.

You heal each other up and continue. You examine the surgical suite and find the following, all squeaky clean, minus some slime.

Amid the jumble of items scoured clean by the oozes’ acid is a chain shirt, a steel shield, three daggers, a longsword, a pick, several caltrops, professional fishing tackle, a spyglass, 14 pitons, and 30 feet of chain.

Something more interesting than that is a weird stick you almost overlooked. You missed it the first time, but your feet hit something and you hear it rolling away. The stick is made of wood, but it seems like it's translucent somehow, almost as if it's made of glass, but not. It's clearly magical.

DC 20 Arcana, Occultism, or Religion:
It's a wand of See Invisibility!

Kka shifts through the detritus left behind by the jellies and lifts what appears to be a wand to look it over...

Religion vs DC 20: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

...and identifies it immediately. "Looks like those pesky invisible types won't be able to hide from us so good no more." She hands the wand off to Cherry. "You hold onto this, Cherry. You and Kvit caan fight over it if you like. <Ark, ark!>" The rest of the loot is packed away for resale.

Loot sheet updated.

Once everyone is satisfied that the room contains no more secrets, Kka looks out into the hallway and heads down to the doors at the end to look them over.

that sucks! :( definitely not helpful...
Kvit will hold onto the wand only if cherry does not want it. I think them using it and using the point out action would be a good use of either of our third actions.

"See invisibility will hopefully not come in handy, but we'll have it when it does... I'll be right back."

While Kka scouts the next door, Kvit returns briefly to the cloudy window to retrieve sneakers and get a status update. "Well, any movement?"
