Skyreach holds a number of archives, libraries, and storerooms, most containing important pieces of the Society’s history. These range from old records and ancient relics to simple items, like a quill that once belonged to a notable venture-captain. The archive on this floor is one such room, housing a number of unpublished logs and journals from far back in the Society’s past. While the Society may never publish anything from these items in the Pathfinder Chronicles, they are still a valuable resource.
When you arrive at the archive, you find Janira Gavix already there, surveying the scene.
"Thank goodness you've arrived! Some of the intruders have taken refuge in the archives. I tried to enter earlier to try to talk to them but was unsuccessful. I think they've realized that they're cornered without any real means of escape and, from what I've heard, you might be able to persuade them to surrender. I'd rather not have a fight break out in there, as irreparable damage could be done to the items inside."
Everyone is up!

Emdi opts for a less gender-based approach than Franzine, detailing some of the gorier things he's seen in Cheliax and Nidal, and explaining with unnerving calmness the fate of those who succumb to evil.
He liberally sprinkles in some forms of torture in Shadowtongue; these acts are undescribable in Common.
|
|
Both Emdi and Franzine promise humiliating and agonizing deaths for the remaining fetchling, who comes out, looking almost relieved. Janira takes control of the prisoners and you head to the other task.
"A defensive trap appears to be active in a nearby area, and you need to manually deactivate the trap before it’s safe to lift the seals and allow access into the halls again. The trap is a magical pillar of fire that runs on tracks and can be deactivated from a control panel in the room’s southwest corner. Reports state that there are a number of sizable creatures in the hall, and the area should be considered dangerous."
You get to the hallway. From where you're standing all you see is a glow emanating from the middle of the room.
|
Franzine stops at the threshold of the chamber. She hears the soft whoosh of flame coming from the pillar of fire from somewhere within. She sniffs the air as a pleasant scent wafts around her.
"Mmmm. What smells so good?"
She moans in delight from the mouthwatering scent.
"It smells like roasted turkey... *sniff*... and cranberry compote..."
She takes another deep sniff of the air.
"And pumpkin pie!"
|
|
"I was thinking the same thing, Kazkoya. We should wait for the pillar to move. Or, we should get it to start moving. Since it's on a track it shouldn't be able to move very fast. I can't imagine it moving as swift as a swinging scythe blade trap. We should be able to just follow along behind it as it moves along the track."

As BakBat moves forward, the fire pillar moves.

Emdi sends an arrow at Red and hits it, the arrow driving through a wing to pin it against the creature's body. Green takes wing and flies to the edge of the dim light. Barely in shadow, it spits what appears to be a sphere of darkness at Emdi, which explodes into a cloud of cold, enveloping all within 5' ().

Emdi Emmay dives out of the way with ease, only taking a tiny bit of the damage from Green.
Anjo sends a pair of arrows at Green. As the arrows approach, a patch of shadow suddenly materializes in front of Green, much like the ink of a fleeing octopus.
Anjo's two arrows cut through the inky cloud and emerge the other side.
Blue takes wing and flies to the hallway and spits a similar ball of darkness. This one bursts and covers both Green and Emdi Emmay.

You don't recognize the creature
Bakbat heads towards the southwest corner of the room. He happens to just look in the right place and finds the panel.
Red reaches down and bites the arrow pinning its wing to its side and tries to pull the wing free. It screeches in pain and tries again. It flies up to Bakbat but runs out of time to do anything else. Pink does the same but attacks Bakbat with jaws and tail when he arrives.

Franzine hustles into the chamber and sees one of the little creatures at the intersection of the pillar trap track.
She swings at the creature to knock it out of the air and hopes to slay the thing.
Your foe hesitates under the weight of sin as visions of redemption play in their mind’s eye. The foe must choose one of the following options:
• The ally is unharmed by the triggering damage.
• The ally gains resistance to all damage against the triggering damage equal to 2 + your level. After the damaging effect is applied, the enemy becomes enfeebled 2 until the end of its next turn.

Franzine moves up and swings at Green. Green suddenly appears to be cloaked in shadow.
Franzine's sword passes through the shadow and emerges the other side.
Quetzhal moves closer to the action and raises his shield while Kazkoya tinkers with the track and manages to damage it slightly. The track wobbles but does not fail (yet).
The pillar of fire moves and catches Kazkoya within its burst radius.

Emdi Emmay avoids the ball of cold. ().
He recovers and pumps two arrows into Green. Both arrows hit but Green is still fighting.
Green then attacks Franzine with tooth and tail.
Emdi Emmay's prayer to Shelyn gives Franzine divine aid and she is protected from all damage. Emdi then follows up by burying another arrow into Green.

You don't notice any weaknesses with the creatures.
Blue flies down to the Southwestern corner of the room and attacks with tooth and tail.
Bakbat catches a swat from a tail but shrugs off the damage. Bakbat moves to the panel and attempts to disable it. Unfortunately, he can't seem to decipher the controls.
Pink takes a breath and spits a ball of darkness that bursts into a cloud of cold between Emdi Emmay and Quetzahl.
Red flies up to Emdi Emmay and decides to exact some revenge for the arrow attack earlier.

Franzine hears a yelp from Kazkoya as he's caught in the flame trap.
"Best to stay ahead or behind that trap!"
She hears the grinding of the flame trap moving towards her.
"Yikes!"
The green tinted creature disappears in shadow.
"Where the heck did that thing go?"
She wonders with a shrug. She darts away towards Emdi.
She swings with all of her might at the red tinted creature...
And swings again...
