Arcanium

Game Master BloodWolven

She shouts, "Cayden blessed be your name! Okay first..." She pauses and makes the Spire not move anymore. Then she smiles at the group, "I can teleport it once a month! Shall I send it on the outskirts of New Faces?!"

Confused, but elated, Zaidel asks, "Wait! Mia, do yiou mean you can move this entire building wherever you want? If so, that will help with returning the slaves back to civilization."

She merrily replies, "Yes! I have control of the tower. It will take a while to understand the whole system but I understand what the Spire wasting to do and I can divert it. Thus move the Spire to an open spot outside of a town. I could do it in a city but that would be destructive. Sure anyone is welcome to try. Though... no it should be fine, what do you say Alexandr?"

"I don't think we should go to close to New Faces. Maybe a mile out from there? If this place can explode we don't want it to take the town with it." Jean says with a look of draconic concern.

Zaidel turns to The Mistress's Familia. "Thank you all very much for helping us defeat the evil lich and his minions. It was a honor to fight along side you. Whisper, thank you again. Come by Old Reunions and I'll cover your tab."

The satyr then looks to the door and sighs. "Well, I better tell the concubines about their freedom. Then start organizing them, see if they are wounded in any way, interview them, and starting figuring out where they go from here. I'll be busy for days."

"It was certainly... educational." Stratton says, retrieving whichever arrows he can. "I think, safe to say, I should be sticking to opponents more my own CR in the future."

"Perhaps, Alexandr, we shall find such on your quest once we've returned to New Faces and your friends have settled in or moved on, whichever they choose."

"To bad no one can teleport yet. I fly pretty fast though. Maybe we can make a blimp and I can drag you alog." Jean says.

She plainly says in a warm manner, "Your welcome, though you should know he was not a liche or even a vampire. So... I guess it is time to scrounge for treasure. Whisper come along."

The retractable floors cover the lava pits and the tower begins to twist again. You can see the magic runes on the throne glowing.

Within a few rounds you all feel displaced, Fort DC 10 or be nauseous.

After the displacement she gets up from the throne and offers, "If you come with me, I will show you to the treasury. Yes Zaidel, thank you for organizing the concubines."

-☆•
Within the vault she kindly offers, "You may take all that you can carry or you can get some pocket change and go with me to the magical vault."

She leads the group to the East side of the concubines' quarters to identical doors. After the dragons move and the doors open you see a long hallway with glass displays, alters, shelves, and chests. There is a door about every 50 feet each with a specific name of magical gear.

She makes the offer again, "You may take all the treasure you can hold from the other room or take 8 items from here."

☆☆☆
In response to Angelica's question she states, "There is no time limit but please don't take more than you are allotted as the guardians are still in place. There are rules I can't even bypass either, I will only be able to take eight items too."

Following Mia out of the throne room and through the concubines' quarters to the West she leads you to a pair of golden doors. Upon the doors are golden serpentine dragons which come together forming a lock. With a few motions from Mia's arms the dragons magically move to the sides and the doors open. Within you see a hoard of treasure.

☆☆☆
In the magical vault you can find anything under 5k easily as there are numerous items. Do a Perception check, if you plan on taking a 20 tell me which room:
DC 25 to find something under 11k
DC 30 to find 2 things under 11k or 1 item under 17K
DC 45 to find 3 things under 11k or 1 item under 25K

☆☆☆
I am going to say it is 4 PM, so still enough time to accomplish your daily quest.

She grabs a few handfuls of coins and put them in her pack. She then follows Mia to the magical vault and states, "Wow, yup I am going to find eight items that help me. Do we have to pick them all now?"

"Sounds fair enough to me." Stratton smiles.

After exercising, Stratton will grab a handful of platinum and/or gems and then take 20 for a 32 total start looking through the wondrous items and armor rooms for "2 things under 11K" Specifically he's looking for enchanted mithral armor and any wondrous item that may catch his eye such as a Belt of physical might +2, Headband of mental prowess +2, Lucky Horseshoe, Mask of a thousand tomes, or Phylactery of positive channeling, .

For the other six items, he picks out a Bag of Concealment Type I, Boots of Elvenkind, a Dusty Rose Prism Ioun Stone, Eyes of the Eagle, Muleback Cords, and a pair of Trapspringer's Goves.

While he is searching, he strikes up a conversation with Lady Black. "If we're to be companions, we ought to be able to work together, yes? Are you able to tell me about your magical properties, or should I have someone with a bit more arcane knowledge peek under the covers?"

The retractable floors cover the lava pits and the tower begins to twist again. You can see the magic runes on the throne glowing.

Within a few rounds you all feel displaced, Fort DC 10 or be nauseous.

After the displacement she gets up from the throne and offers, "If you come with me, I will show you to the treasury. Yes Zaidel, thank you for organizing the concubines."

She leads the group to the East side of the concubines' quarters to identical doors. After the dragons move and the doors open you see a long hallway with glass displays, alters, shelves, and chests. There is a door about every 50 feet each with a specific name of magical gear.

As the familia departs, Zaidel stays and uses summon instrument to summon a megaphone into his hands to address the large group.

"Everyone! My name is Zaidel The Benevolent, Easier of Pain! I am a cleric of Cayden Cailean! We believe the former Master of this Spire has been destroyed! You are all free!"

The satyr waits for the shouts of joy and liberation to quiet down before continuing. "Now I will ask for any people who have been injured or sick to please come forward, so your ills can be addressed! Once the sick are tended to, I will ask all every former slave to form two lines! I will begin interviewing you all and finding where you came from in hopes of returning you back to your homes! Diplomacy: 1d20 + 44 ⇒ (14) + 44 = 58
☆☆☆
During the interview process, Zaidel hopes to learn how the concubines were treated, how they were fed and kept clean; in hopes of finding a way to keep everyone healthy until they are relocated. With the amount of work Zaidel has in front of him, unless someone reminds him, he will not do the Daily Quest.

"To bad no one can teleport yet. I fly pretty fast though. Maybe we can make a blimp and I can drag you alog." Jean says.

"I don't think we'll have too far to travel. I think like you said, maybe a mile to New Faces?" Stratton says. "In any case, Your offer is appreciated at least by me."

Jean will do his exercise. Since he has grown mighty of late he does so without pause and then starts searching rooms.

I am just going to take 10 to look which gets me the 25 and find 7 Metamagic Rods. Extend x3, Bouncing x1, Intensified x2, Selective x1. The last item will be a bag of holding IV.

It's about 9 when you get done and it will take at least an hour in each section to possibly find one of those items.

I am just going to take 10 to look which gets me the 25 and find 7 Metamagic Rods. Extend x3, Bouncing x1, Intensified x2, Selective x1. The last item will be a bag of holding IV.

All of these rods are lesser with a 1 level differential? If so you are all good and with a bag of holding IV.

She relays to Stratton, "You naughty boy. I like that. As of now you know my obvious abilities. My dedicated powers haven't been activated and likely won't they activate when you fight nobility or royalty. Now if you want to bond to me you can unlock one of my abilities but you will have to pay the price. Find me an adequate body and the price can be negated."

Zaidel quickly finds out that the concubines were well taken care of. Most hadn't even the new ruler. Each of them has luxurious clothing and a multitude of jewelry. Most would like to stay, there are plenty of reasons to stay, all of their needs are met and they are each others family. They may be able to be persuaded to leave.

"But ladies!" Zaidel implores. "The old master is dead. We adventurers can not keep you in the lifestyle you are accustomed. Sure, your wore gold chains, but they were really shackles. Does no one really wish to leave?"

A couple dozen of them will take you up on your offer Zaidel and they give you the names of their hometowns.

Smiling that he finally got through to some of the ladies, Zaidel takes out his magic cell phone and begins to jot down all the info about the former slave's names and hometowns.

While finishing up, a squeal when up among the other former concubines. The satyr advances to investigate to find Jock, Mia's celestial familiar, accosted by pets and gentle scratches from the ladies.

I dont think my taking the spire is smart, only thing worse then being too weak is being too weaking and owning valuable real estate. Alexandr replies to Zaidel.

Lets see if I can unweak myself though

After his Daily Quest is completed, before bed, Zaidel enters the Magical Vaults. The bard casts heightened awareness on himself before entering the separate rooms. Zaidel takes a 20 with a +2 to his Perception of +22, beating the DC 30, nearly beating the DC 45.

Zaidel first stopped in the armory room, and after some time found a beautiful mithril heavy shield with a raised image of a tankard hammering from it. Upon further inspection, the bard found the shield also had the mirrored special ability.

The satyr then entered the magical clothing room. Walls and walls of cloaks, pants, wristguards, boots, etc. All on display. Zaidel found a well-made belt of giant's strength +2, a pair of eyes of the eagle lenses, and a lush forest green cloak of resistance +2 to claim.

The next room Zaidel entered was an entire room devoted to magical jewelry. The room shown like a dragon's hoard. After several minutes of looking, Zaidel had to pause, because what he saw, made him doubt his senses. On a small blue suede pillow, a singular ring was showcased. The bard read and reread the signature made of gold and diamonds. Elvis. It didn't take long for the bard to understand the historical and magical properties of this special ring. It was Elvis Presley's ring of inspired performance, improved!! It fit the satyr's finger like it was made juts for him and Elvis.

Still reeling from his latest find, the caydenite cleric lastly entered the Wonderous Item room. The room was expansive and looked like the nicest indoor garage sale he'd ever been to. Zaidel found a large glass bowl filled with ioun torches. Zaidel always loved them when he played Pathfinder and now a real life working one of his own. The satyr also found a blue type IV bag of holding hanging on a wall with several others. A little further in, Zaidel found a richly designed painting set. The bard put two-and-two together and deduced it was a set of marvelous pigments.
Aurora's gonna love these! Zaidel thought and put them in his new bag of holding. Satisfying the maximum requirements Mia and Angelica set down, Zaidel made his way back out of the magical vaults.

Looking at his amazing new ring, zaidel pondered aloud, "I wonder if the concubines would enjoy some music this evening?"

For reasons abundantly obvious, Zaidel opts to sleep in the former concubine's room. Although some have laid down to sleep, the bardic cleric sets himself up in a corner of the room and using his modified summon instrument spell, summons a Model-D Steinway grand piano into existence and begins to play.
Perform (keyboard): 1d20 + 41 ⇒ (14) + 41 = 55
Thanks to his new ring, Zaidel's recital is light-years beyond an extraordinary performance. The satyr outshines any mortal performance.

He would take his time to eliminate any threats floor by floor. At about 6 he finishes his first sweep. He joins others for dinner and soon after he does his daily quest. With it accomplished he spends a few more hours sweeping the Spire for undead. Using his status recovery a while before midnight he continues to sweep the Spire for the early hours of the day. He would take a shower and clean his clothes, well mending them too. He walks to the dining hall not noticing any threats or undead even with his new senses. His attitude rather nuetral. He sat down and smiled at those who had woken up early. "So what is the plan today? I think the undead have been swept from the Spire."

I was aiming for the middle rod which handles 6th level spells or lower.

"I think we teleport a mile from New Faces, and then get supplies to go do the delivery quest." Jean says.

Jean all of your rods would have to be lesser, or you can get a normal one but cant find the bag of holding then.

She relays to the group, "We already teleported. You can leave through any window or the front doors."

As soon as Zaidel got up, the cleric prayed to Cayden cailean for his daily cleric spells, and to let him know the team are alright.

He sat down and smiled at those who had woken up early. "So what is the plan today? I think the undead have been swept from the Spire."

Zaidel smiled with appreciation. "Thank, Matt. Well, If we are on the outskirts of New Faces, we'll likely have to explain the presense of The Spire to the city fathers. And hopefully not get thrown in jail or branded terrorists", the satyr shrugged.

"After breakfast, I think we should get our Daily Quest out of the way, so we can enjoy the day. I think we should all report to Cayden Cailean. I'm sure he already knows but the fact that nearly his entire familia have become sublime creatures might be something he'll need to be eased into."

Hi I am Asha, suddenly a mysterious stranger!
She smiles showing incredibly white teeth.

Thanks for not lovebombing us three into the next dimension, it would suck to get blown up straight after getting your first class level! She seems to take everything in good stride.

Before that idiot took over I was running He eyes suddenly turn blue with some white script on it as she stops.

The half elfen Vampire looks into them

Hmm She says

Index array out of bounds, backstory module not found? Reverting to NPC class upon reset? F%~$ hell no! She places both of her hands upon the paralyzed Thiefling Vampire

Time for a Vulkanic Vampiric Mind meld!

Ok, I get access to her backstory, which is a blank page, I can keep access to it open for a bit but Its taxing me and I cant come up with a backstory for her, eh, someone help? Come up with a backstory, quickly! Or she becomes an NPC again!

Go nuts Zaidel

Knowledge (planes, Loremaster): 10 + 15 = 25
Zaidel nods knowingly. "Nice to meet you, Asha"

"Thanks for not lovebombing us three into the next dimension, it would suck to get blown up straight after getting your first class level! She seems to take everything in good stride.

Before that idiot took over I was running". He eyes suddenly turn blue with some white script on it as she stops.

Before the cleric could object to Asha's slight against Alexandr, the tiefling vampire freezes up.

Go nuts Zaidel

"Wait! Asha was narratively created?!!" The satyr looks to the steelblooded Russian to the half-elven vampire. What is her name?

Zaidel blinked. "Sorry. I'm getting off-topic."

"In her family, due to their association with Orcus, demonic tieflings were highly prized. Those who achieved some form of undeath, even more so! When Asha was of age, she set out into Arcanium, to make her fortune and seek her destiny!"

I have no idea whats going on, I met the Ladies, and tried to make small talk.

The Bloodrager says

Putting in narrative paramaters! Yay, Asha is still someone with class levels! The Elfen Vampire works feverishly.

She was not "narratively created", basically what happens is when an NPC, who changed species previously, and then accesses class levels well...
Somewhere during the system migrations her backstory got ditched so she didnt have one, now she does. Ahahahha, Asha you are now in love with the walking blood blank! She seems to have fun putting in Zaidels story, probably with some of her own additions.

The blue eyes and the white writing disappear

For f~%*ing real? Oh well, I guess I am going to rescue him from a lot of weird dangerous situations because I a picking up some serious damsel in distress vibes from him.
The Thiefling responds.

Absolutely the Aasimar Vampire interjects.
Do anyone wants to bet on what will Bloodrager in distress him first? My vote is Succubus. The Aasimar continues
Ah, the old reliable? I am gonna go with an Erinye The Elfen Vampire answers
Vampire thiefling named Asha Asha says
You all know I will win haha She continues
Unfair! The 2 other Vampiresses respond in unison.

I am feeling objectified Alexandr murmurs
Welcome to my world Mr. Player character! The Thiefling Vampire says with a smile.

So Mr. Lovebomb-channelspam, I am Ishta, and no, I just wrote my own backstory!
Bwhahaha, I mad scientisted myself into becoming a Vampire, but then the new idiot whom you just killed came in, and brought in some badly dressed monstrosity as a resident mad scientist, and I got relegated to the Vampire maid unit! A%%@!%~!, like, seriously, I was working on a booze based blood replacement for Vampires, and the asshat steals my research project, and instead tries to make an addictive drug out of it in order to set himself up as a drug kingpin! Jerkface, so I triggered the self destruct switch of the destillery in front of his face hah!

Words come out very quickly out of the Elfen Vampires mouth.

The satyr sat up from the table, leaning both hands on either side of his plate.
"Okay, ladies. This Lovebomb-channelspam's got something to say."

"The reason I am a channelspammer is due to the Lady in Red over there", Zaidel motions to an entering Mia with Jock.

"The One and Only paladin of Cayden Cailean's got a nasty curse: she attracts powerful undead to her. Ever since I found that out, I've been taking many feats to make me a vampire's worst nightmare! Feed on innocents, like the ones around us", the cleric motioned to the surrounding former concubines,
"YOU ARE ASH!"
Intimidate: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (17) + 31 = 48
Zaidle takes a moment to regain his composure.
"Now! Since you three seems to want to help Alexandr, and by extension, the rest of Aeria Gloris, and you keep your feeding to Alexandr, for as long as he safely can, I might be able to help you ladies conform to mortal society."
The caydenite takes a moment to ponder something.
"In fact, I might be able to help more than I initially thought."
Zaidel points at the empty chalice before Asha, casting create water to fill it. The cleric closes his eyes and tries to use enhance water to turn water into blood.
A-Positive if you can, Boss. I mean technically Blood is a non-alcoholic fluid..., Zaidel prays.

Stratton spends the rest of the evening reading through the Mask of a Thousand Tomes, combing for information on New faces and its surroundings.
In particular, he looks for known deific hangouts, the movers and shakers of the place, cloning/body shops, as well as any additional enhancement sites within the city they might not have discovered yet.

Eventually, he turns in around midnight, getting his four hours of sleep, and then does his dailies in the wee hours of the morning.

Sense Motive, on Zaidel 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

"I mean, sure, we can let him know what's up if we're headed into town. I'm sure he'll be happy to know you're alive and well." he tries to reassure the satyr.

He also approaches Alexandr. "Alexandr, are you planning on heading right out on your quest ASAP, or do you plan on spending a day or two getting things squared away first? If you're delaying a bit, I think I'm going to take a poke around the city."

Tome review of Knowledge(Local): 1d20 + 14 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 10 = 41

Lesser rods. Check.

Jean looks warily at the vamps but figures as long as Alexandr is ok and doesn't seem to be controlled it is best to leave it alone.

"I mean, sure, we can let him know what's up if we're headed into town. I'm sure he'll be happy to know you're alive and well." he tries to reassure the satyr.

After the water-to-blood attempt, Zaidel looks to Stratton with a sheepish smile.

Zaidel leans his head on hand. "Which brings us back to Cayden. Cayden is a God. And traditionally the Gods dislike it when Mortals challenge them. I'm more charismatic than some gods. On paper, that also means Cayden. Now! Don't get my wrong! Cayden's the best. But he's also a god, and he might not like the fact that one of his cleric might be better than him..at certain things", Zaidel emphasizes this by waving his hands, shooing the idea out of his headspace. Looking to Matthew he adds, "From the Olympian Pantheon, we all have learned of the Pettiness of the Gods. How the Gods choose favorites, then change their minds, and leave them to Ruin. I just really don't want that to happen with Cayden and me! I worried."

"I mean, you're no Denzel, but I get it." Stratton smirks. "And honestly, when you talk it makes me want to do things I normally wouldn't. I mean, I'm sure without player agency I'd already be throwing myself at your feet, right?"

"I mean Pathfinder gods are specifically un-statted for these kinds of reasons, but they do have stats for avatars and the like, so.... maybe? I dunno, man. There's probably some way you can sell off or decrease your charisma, right?"

After a pause, he says "Oh, and I wouldn't bet your life on saying something like you have more charisma than Aphrodite if there's even a 1% chance of her overhearing you."

"There's probably some way you can sell off or decrease your charisma, right?"

"I'm not sure I ever want to", Zaidel confides. "All my charisma allows me to be a channelspammer, as Ishta so pleasantly pointed out. I can do a lot of healing with it."

The cleric closes his eyes and tries to use enhance water to turn water into blood.

A-Positive if you can, Boss. I mean technically Blood is a non-alcoholic fluid..., Zaidel prays.

The tankard does fill with blood.

Tome review of Knowledge(Local): 1d20+14+10

Yeah sure was there anything you had in mind? With the boost from your mask you think about and do your best to learn the happenings of New Faces.

He looks over at Zaidel worried, "You could easily be the center of your own love potion... You might want to tone it down some by using that hat Cayden gave you. Luckily I have been dealing with this new power and such so I have kept my mind busy. But the two of you are F@cking Hot!" He is eyeing Zaidel and Mia.

Looking to Matthew he adds, "From the Olympian Pantheon, we all have learned of the Pettiness of the Gods. How the Gods choose favorites, then change their minds, and leave them to Ruin. I just really don't want that to happen with Cayden and me! I worried."

He nods his head in agreement, "Yes they are very petty, not Cayden though he is great! Nah Cayden is a man's man, an adventurer of adventurers. He might be a bit slighted if he gets dumped by Calistra for you... hmmmm?"

He laughs and slaps his leg, spitting out some of the juice he was drinking, "Oh and with everyone being Sublime we all double heal!!!"

---
He quickly points out confidently, "Hey Alexandr, you there? I think you are holding up the next item of business. I need to get some pent up rage out of my system. Send me a message once you guys decide what we are doing next. I am going to screw my wife!!!" With that he gets up and begins sprinting out of the hall.

Happily surprised, Zaidel pushes the cup of blood over to Asha. "Go on! See if that works!"

Watching the eldest warden run past dozens of nearly naked women to get back to his Alia, Zaidel comments. "I may have inadvertently urged the birth of the next Locke child. NAME THIS ONE AFTER ME!!" The satyr calls out to the retreating Matthew.

Jellena, Delman, and Whisper take their own share of loot and wave thanks to the group. Before she leaves she hands a ring to Zaidel, stating, "If you need help just say it, though we will need to be in the same town for it to work."

She has been happily bonding and learning from the throne. She takes breaks when somebody wants to talk, also for meals and for her daily quest.

She sticks in the throne room with Mia waiting for someone to bring up the next mission.

Before she leaves she hands a ring to Zaidel, stating, "If you need help just say it, though we will need to be in the same town for it to work."

"Thank you very much, Jellena", the satyr smiles at the gift and graciously take it. "I would like to start a correspondence with you. You're a Chosen from Earth that is also your Familia's spiritual center. I think just like I am. Where the best place to send letters to you. Or do you have a magical cellphone too?"

After his Daily Quest is complete, Zaidel joins Mia and Angelica in the throne room. The bard uses many castings of prestidigitation to help clean the mess made by the battle.
"Mia, it obviously looks so natural for you to be on a throne", Zaidel smiled. "What have you learned so far? Like does the Spire have defenses against invaders? If we leave it, will it recognize you as it's mistress when you return? Was the previous Weeb Lord able to feed and take care of his concubines through the magic of the Spire or did he use his vast wealth to buy supplies?"
Diplomacy (with Charming): 1d20 + 44 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 44 + 4 = 60

Stratton finishes off his morning exercise, and having eaten for the day, decides to head into town and start to get to know New Faces a bit better, and perhaps check out some of the body shops.

As they walk, he strikes up a conversation with Lady Black once more. "Do you happen to have a ritual available to place you in a new body, or were you considering doing it as an act of will alone?"

"Those concubines you were pointing out, was that just generally for me to know what kind of body you were looking for, or were you considering a way to take one from one of them. Don't think that's the type of deal I'm looking for, but I should know if you are capable of doing such a thing against a creature's will."

"I'm hoping one of these shops would allow you to be reincarnated into a body more your choosing since they alter races, but I'm not sure if they need a flesh body to do so. Perhaps they may have a way for your to change into a golem-like body. Would that be acceptable? Or are you looking for flesh?"
