Round 2
Davod double moves forward in an attempt to find the hydra's body. Aukan attempts to keep Davod within sight as he gets ready for the coming attack.
Davod gets hit for two AoO as only one head goes after Aukan. As he has mobility, the attacks miss. Then the normal attack hits, the teeth pierce Davod's flesh as the poison begins to ravage his body. Aukan dodges the bite.

As the Hydra comes in to bite him, his strike slides down the side of the scales of the hydra's head.

Round 2
Davod's flesh has been ripped away in places from the hydra's bite.
Round 3
Kazko hears trouble below and rushes over the ledge jumping as far as he can go. half lethal/half nonlethal, after your acrobatics check to negate some.
---
Kazko does go first, gets the attacks from round 2 and 3 instead of Davod, as his Acrobatics fails. Davod just takes the normal attacks not the AoOs. As Kazko takes the AoOs.
Round 2 - He lands and picks himself up aiming for the light. He sees Aukan waiting for... 'oh my goodness that is a massive hydra head' he likely thinks. Then goes around for the flank.
---32 damage to Davod
Round 3 - in positon and one attack.
Kazko wants to get into flanking first using acrobatics...
--- 32 damage to Kazko, 33 damage to Davod
Round 4 to 5
Both bloody and on the other side of the Hydra...
Kazko gets his full attacks in though the 5th round only his bite hits. [ooc]52 + 11 = 63 damage - 15 = 48 damage.
Round 6 !!!
Round 5
He continues to move after Davod, moving 40 feet, now seeing the massive body of the hydra. Then he readies a strike to sunder a third head that descends on him with vital strike. (From above)

He charges forward trying to cut into the massive body of the hydra with vital strike.
He laughs at the bites.
Round 4
Clearly running out in plain sight is very painful for the suli thief, so Davod will try to hide from the hydra and seek to close.
Round 4
Davod looks around and just sees blackness. The rough stone floor spreads out in uneven patches.
With an everburning torch in his pocket, Davod can only see 20 feet clearly around him and 20 more feet in dim light. The large body of the hydra dominates your view on one side. The light negating Kazko's darkvision.
Davod moves x5= 20 feet to find a nice high portion of floor next to a low portion. He lays down and tries to hide.

He stops laughing.
Round 8
He tries to cut into the hydra's body twice and cuts into its flesh in two spots.
Round 8
Davod peers out of his hiding place to see how the battles goes.
Kazko Round 9
Kazko has been tunneling through the hydra's body! The heads drop to the ground and the room begins to shake. Piles of equipment burst from the ground. Piles of treasure do the same. A giant white portal appears 100 feet away as a feminine voice urgently states, "Quickly come I don't know how long I can keep the portal open! You have at least a minute maybe longer!"
Round 9
He slashes at the thing for a full round making sure it is dead. Seeing its heads on the ground beside him he takes his greatsword and cuts one more head off.
Round 10 - 14
He cuts off the other heads and puts them in his inventory.
Round 15
He runs back to his rope.
Round 16
He collects the rope, says the word to have the rope come down into his Handy Haversack, "Ibrix Nautsr."
Round 17
He runs back towards the portal looking for any obvious, "glowing", magical items as he has 3 more slots open in his inventory.
Davod smiles broadly to hear lady Pharos's voice once again. That being said, the suli thief quickly takes off his handy haversack and scoops as much as he can of coin and jewels in 4 rounds, then runs toward the offered portal.
You both make it through the portal with no adverse effects. On the other side you see that the whole group is waiting for you. Those you have saved and those who were apart of your original group.
Alexandira is holding the portal open with beads of sweat rolling down her body as she exerts herself.
Seven rounds after the two of you get through the portal Aukan makes it through the portal as well. He is holding a glowing purple staff in his off hand.
A tired, bloody suli smiles as he looks up from the ground, his backpack seemingly full.
"Well! You are all a sight for sore eyes! Especially you, Lady Pharos!"
Davod looks around. "Did Nima cure you?"
Nima replies for Lady Pharos, "Yes, all is well. They found me down the way. We came to an end and returned to find you."
Davod gets himself off the ground. "Great to see you, Nima. We nearly died in the jaws of the largest hydra I'd ever seen!"
Interested she asks, "That sounds like an astounding story. Do your best to remember the details, I will come and get them when we settle for the night. Oh and who is your friend?"
"Oh! Everyone! This is Kazko. A prisoner of this plane, just like us. As a surprise to no one, both Kazko and Aukan did well against the giant hydra"
The thief introduces everyone to Kazko. Davod gets to the angel. "I call him The Golden One, but I don't know his actual name."
The golden tree states, "Interesting."
He coughs and then announces himself, "You may call me Sir Drystan Goldenflame."
She walks up after Aukan gets through the portal and gives him a big hug. A black dog follows her. "Welcome back my love!"
Aukan smiles and pierces the blade into the ground and hands the staff over to Pharos. Then he embraces Sasha with a twirl. Kissing her as they go. Once he lets her down he bends down and pets the black dog, "Good boy!"
|
The many bites on Kazko slowly heal up as he waves to the new people and then sits down to lay out the treasure he picked up from the gnomes location and then from around the hydra. "Nice to meet you all. I wonder if I managed to grab anything interesting. It looks like Aukan found a cool staff." Kazko says.
Davod nodded. "Indeed. Please, Nima. Show us what you found? I, too, must so over my spoils."

Aukan puts out his hand and a glowing green kukri with a black blade and bone handle appears. He offers it to Davod.
He also has a golden glowing ruby encrusted necklace appear. He lays it down to get identified along with a bone white compound bow which emits a red glow.
He states, "I have seven of the hydra heads, thinking they would be worth something as well. The body would not go into my inventory."
She casts detect magic and does her best to identify them.

The staff’s holder is protected by a continuous feather fall effect. Additionally, the staff contains the following spells:
Shocking grasp (1 charge)

Slot none; Price 22,375 gp; Weight 4 lbs.
Description
Felhart is a +2 bane longbow crafted from the fiercely carved horns of at least two venerable stags and strung with a cord laced with silver. The designated foe that its bane effect functions against varies, being determined by the creature a wielder hates the most when the bow is first picked up (as decided upon by the GM). This bane effect remains the same for a wielder, regardless of how many times he’s used the bow. Thus, for one user it might be a +2 bane vs. humanoids (humans) longbow, while for another it might be a +2 bane vs. dragons longbow. A wielder can do nothing to change the bow’s bane effect.
In addition, once per week, felhart’s wielder can summon a reliable steed as per the spell mount. This creature takes the form of a lean, swift white elk that, despite its almost ghostly appearance, possesses the same statistics as a horse. This creature allows felhart’s wielder to ride it, and serves loyally for up to 5 hours, vanishing at the end of this time. The mount will not allow any creature beside felhart’s wielder to ride it unless the weapon’s bearer succeeds at a DC 16 Handle Animal check. Even if this check succeeds, the mount only allows another rider to ride along with the weapon bearer. The elk never allows a strange rider to ride it alone.

The weapon has an affinity for humanoid blood and remains slick and wet with it long after it would normally dry. If the wielder kills a humanoid with Redlust’s Daughter, she can lick clean this blood as a move action to heal 1d4 hit points. Lamashtu’s church also creates a similar weapon called Chillheart’s Daughter, which is a +1 frost falchion that otherwise has the same properties as this weapon.

Description
This intricately decorated bronze necklace fits tightly across the neck and houses a ruby in its center. Whenever the wearer of the necklace is in an area of dim light or darkness, including magical darkness, the ruby begins to glow and grants the wearer fast healing 1. The necklace can restore up to 20 hit points per day, after which its fast healing effect ends and the gorget becomes inert until its magic resets the next day. This fast healing can restore hit points regardless of the source of the damage, but the wearer detects as an evil creature while the gorget’s fast healing ability is active. This has no long-term effect on the wearer’s alignment.

She states, "Well we know those items the staff is still a mystery."
The door at the end of the passage seems to glow, then an image of a male's face with a large mustache, appears on the top of the door in the circle. It states, "You have passed the trials of the prison. Take with you what you have claimed and may you never return."
Exiting out the door you find yourselves in a dilapidated stone building. Heading out you feel weak, you are in a village of black stone. Soon you find the edge of the village and see you are several hundred feet up on the Black Spire.
Aukan puts out his hand and a glowing green kukri with a black blade and bone handle appears. He offers it to Davod.
Davod is wide-eyed with shock over Aukan's gift. "Aukan! My 'akh! I can not accept this gift! I can not even wield it! You have the muscles to do so. I would just sell it for a fine bit of coin, if that is what you wish?!"
Later, Davod looks over his newfound treasures. The suli grabbed another set of mithril shirt armor, a ring of arcane signets, boots of the cat, and burglar's braces. Thje suli thief gleefully slipped on the bracers and new boots. Davod immediately loved how his feet felt in the boots, almost as if they shaped themselves to his feet.
The rogue bounced up and down in his boots. "These boots of the cat feel amazing!"
When the suli slipped the ring on his finger, the signet shifted form to show the symbol of an grasping hand with a D, A, V, O, and another D on each of the finger's tips. "My very own sigil, apparently", Davod marveled. "I just wish it didn't make it so obvious. Hmm."
Exiting out the door you find yourselves in a dilapidated stone building. Heading out you feel weak, you are in a village of black stone. Soon you find the edge of the village and see you are several hundred feet up on the Black Spire.
Davod felt confused. "Why doesn't Freedom feel amazing? I feel terrible."
Unless anyone else offers, Davod will carry Kalypso on his back.
Davod is wide-eyed with shock over Aukan's gift. "Aukan! My 'akh! I can not accept this gift! I can not even wield it! You have the muscles to do so. I would just sell it for a fine bit of coin, if that is what you wish?!"
He smiles at his friend. He gratefully states, "Oh but you must accept!" He takes the kukri back and flips it in his hand and it turns into a starknife. "See! Plus I have my greatsword. It is jealous!"

Thje suli thief gleefully slipped on the bracers and new boots. Davod immediately loved how his feet felt in the boots, almost as if they shaped themselves to his feet.
The rogue bounced up and down in his boots. "These boots of the cat feel amazing!"
He nods and states, "Yes they are amazing!" He leans down and taps his own blue boots.
Sasha states, "I will collect some 'Flint' since we are up here. Anyone want to help? The rest of you find a way down. Not over the ledge."
He looks sick and tired. He rubs his face and eyes. He tries to put his greatsword in his inventory... but it doesn't work. Swearing he looks around and states, "I think we are in an anti-magic field. I will lead the group down and out. Sasha don't tarry too long."
He then quickly begins searching the rest of the edge of the village.
The building itself is empty of furnishings and guardians. Strange gray crystals the size and shape of a dagger’s blade have sprouted from the flinty ground.
---
After going around half of the village Aukan easily finds A doorway which leads down to stairs. Seemingly cut from the stone the stairs descend and soon are circling the spire.
The village has about a mile diameter. The spire's diameter gets narrower as you travel down the stairs.
An immense spike of sheer, solid rock with narrow grooves spiraling up its entire length protrudes from the ground. Driven deep in the heart of a hilltop at the center of the island, the spike rises to a height of at least two thousand feet. The spike impales the petrified ribcage of an enormous draconic beast, its stony ribs themselves over twenty feet high. Scattered nearby are other fragments of the colossal skeleton—bits of wing, legs, and to the south of the spire, an immense horned skull. The spire widens at the top like the knob of some brobdingnagian club, and the top is slightly jagged, as though pieces have been broken off.
---
You can see and hear more below, clamber and howl madly among the bones. Their howls increase in ferocity and they scuttle forth to attack at once.
Davod carefully sets down the nymph. "Lady Pharos. Have you meet Lady Kalypso? She was injured during her imprisonment. Would your magics heal her legs and feet?"
She gives Davod a winning smile and states, "I personally but say the words and your wish is my pleasure."
He whispers back to Kazko as he looks at his blade, "You mind taking point on this one? I will follow."
The suli can't help but return the smile to the efreeti. "Thank you. I shall wait until we are out of this area. How are you feeling, Lady Pharos?"
"Is this place affecting you as well?"
