I have Captain Fergus during-life mythic abilities written down, including his major artifact, Fiend-Ender (Legendary Item universal path ability taken full 3 times).
I might type it up and send it to you over weekend, Wolf.
Focus hour is long over. I already left.
Lots of posts...be sure to read whisper spoiler Preacher said to Guriok.
After traveling the winding route from area A4 for about 1,900 feet (at a speed of 15 feet through the rough cavern passages, this takes about 25 minutes to navigate), you reach the tunnel’s end at a junction. To the north, a 5-foot-wide opening in the wall leads into a cave filled with soft but nasty-looking green light—the tunnel itself continues
South beyond this toward area C.
The passageway leading south from area B continues for about 3,000 feet (at a speed of 15 feet, this takes about 40 minutes to navigate) before ending here after a gradual rise in elevation of 30 feet from area B.
You going to sprint after them to catch up?
Wait... you want me to put on 5000 feet of tunnels?!?!
May join the active game a bit late. But haven't forgotten
Dealing with some indigestion. So I'm awake.
Awake
Fading, hopefully will manage to stay awake for entire dedicated hour.
Here for the dedicated hour, here we go!
I may not last long this evening. I have the flu and I'm mostly dead.

I hope you have a quick recovery from the flu.
Best of wishes for you Benji!
Yes preacher you are in your new shoes.
I mentioned the pronunciation of Bengi's name a while ago. I said it didn't really matter since nobody is saying it. But since it's also leading to misspellings, I'll explain again.
The "g" in the name is a hard English "g" sound like in "gift" or "gig". Or if you prefer, think of it as sounding like "Ben-Ghee" (like the clarified butter).
Or, you can hear how it sounds here: Bengi
It's an Oghuz Turkic name. Almost always female but there are some exceptions.
Since Kellids have a fairly thin cultural and social description in Pathfinder, mostly borrowed it seems from Robert E. Howard and related pulp fiction, I'm having to build it out some myself. I'm borrowing bits and pieces from the regions around the Black Sea. For example, Bengi's falx is a Dacian or Thracian weapon; Tengrism seems to be a good fit for what Sarkorian religion was/is like, and so forth.
Sorry if I'm coming across as a stickler, but Bengi's name is morphing into Benji in posts.
So what us to spell it Ben-Ghee?
I could use, that lady with black on her face. :P
Yes indeed, we would have been just behind the others. We didn't stay in the temple for long. They bypassed it.

No, that's an example of how it sounds. The spelling is always the same - Bengi.
Not sure how many rounds the combat with the dwarf is at.
The darkmantle one is up to the 5th round (Onyx has his 5th round still), Guriok and Sylvara have to to take some turns to get up to 5th round.
Xantor (I think) has taken 3 effective turns so far (1) charage, (2) c.l.w on Preacher, (3) potion of c.l.w on Preacher. If that is correct, if he takes two more he will be at actions equivalent of first 5 rounds (caught up turn-wise to Preacher, Fergus, and 1 turn past Onyx).
I simplified the darkmantles hp trackers (tracking their hp instead of damage) (or dead) for the ones that have been killed already.
I'll try to catch up on turns soon. My day has barely started
Xantor and Onyx start at round 2. So onyx and Xantor have round 5 actions still.
Sylvara and Guriok need to catch up!
@GM: is the white one attacking Guriok, Horgus or Arataurë?
* *
@all players: Reminder, that the GM has asked us to label our rounds in our posts
* *
@Guriok: Roll for the attacks the darkmantles take on you as well. You have three rounds of actions to do to get caught up to round 5.
Guriok's rounds posted so far:
(suprise round): cast shield
Round 1: flurry
Round 2: flurry (make green attacks (and possibly white darkmantle) on Guriok before Guriok finished it off).
Round 3: not posted yet (possibly roll for white darkmantle attack on Guirok before Guriok attacks)
Round 4: not posted yet (possibly roll for white darkmantle attack on Guirok before Guriok attacks)
Round 5: not posted yet (possibly roll for white darkmantle attack on Guirok before Guriok attacks)
* *
@Sylvara: based on map, it would make sense that your first round of attacks is against the purple darkmantle (that you and Arataurë are flanking)
Sylvara (and Arataurë's) posts so far:
Round 1:
Syvara swings and misses (purple one) (still misses with flank bonus)
Arataurë's first claw, with flank bonus, becomes hit on purple one. Roll damage for single claw against purple one.
purple darkmantle 15/15 --> 7/15 hp --> (7 minus non-crit lion claw attack damage)/15 (it will be dead if Arataurë rolled 6 on 1d6 for non-critical claw damage)
Round 2:
Roll for purple darkmantle (if it is not dead yet) attack against Sylvara.
Roll for orange darkmantle attack against Arataurë.
Possibly roll for white darkmantle attack against Arataurë.
Roll for Arataurë's attacks.
Round 3:
repeat as Round 2 as needed (before being able to get to dwarf)
Round 4:
repeat as Round 3 as needed
Round 5:
repeat Round 4 as needed
* *
Guriok's, Sylvara's and Arataurë's remaining rounds above will determine which rounds each of them are able to make their way to start engaging the dwarf in melee.
**
@Bengi:
Round 1: posted
Round 2: posted
Round 3: posted
Round 4: (not labeled as round 4): posted
Round 5: not posted yet. I suggest waiting until Guriok, Sylvara and Arataurë have posted their earlier rounds, since they may have reached the dwarf before Bengi takes her Round 5 actions.
* *
@GM: Please let me know if you prefer that I do not make such combat rounds organization posts like this one.

Arataurë fitting through spaces smaller than half his size (less than 5 feet wide (RAW, before any adjudications by our GM), which is DC 30 Escape Artist. Taking 20 gives Arataurë 23, so will need 4 people to assist him squeezing through. 2 at front and two at rear?
Results of Sylvar & Arataurë's attacks:
Round 2
Sylvara damages purple for 11 ==> 15/15 hp ==> 4/15 hp
Arataurë misses purple one with his claws but connects with bite for 5 damage ==> purple one dead!
Round 3
Sylvara takes 5-foot step to engage white one and deals 9 damage to it ==> 7/15 hp ==> dead!
Arataurë misses purple one with all his attacks
Round 4
Sylvara strides and engages orange one in melee (not flanking it with Arataurë yet) and misses it6.
Arataurë attacks orange one, connects with first claw but not the second claw, for 4 damage ==> orange 15/15 hp ==> 11/15 hp
Arataurë chomps down on it and deals 3 more damage ==> 11/15 hp ==> 8/15 hp
Round 5
Sylvara takes a 5-foot step (still not flanking it with Arataurë) and misses it
Arataurë misses with first claw but connects with second and deals 4 damage ==> 8/15 hp ==> 4/15 hp
Arataurë scores critical threat but does not confirmed critical (Sylvara needs one more turn to flank it with Arataurë) and deals 7 damage ==> 4/15 ==> dead!
* * *
@Guriok: You have 2 rounds for getting to dwarf fight and engaging in melee, then it is round 5 turns for both Guriok and Bengi.
With Onyx and Xantor taking their round 5 turns (and the dwarf of course) we will all be caught up and in round 6.
Thanks Preacher!!!
Did anyone say anything at all? Was it all a quiet fight? Did we get hit by a silence spell?
Mostly because I rushed through my turns to catch up
Rolls are atrocious
Arataurë dropped the last of the darkmantles (the orange one) with his bite on round 5. He just would have 'killed it more' if he had confirmed the critical hit with the bite. That is why Guriok had two rounds to get to the dwarf fight (as all the darkmantles had been killed),
Ah ok, so combat over then!
Phantoms start at 7 Int (so I am partially treating that as not having full recall of all the memories of their lives).
with the more powerful (from life) memories being the ones being ones they have no issues remembering.
Fergus ==> His ship, his greater artifact (legendary weapon x3, Fiend-Ender), his first mate (who I still need to name), his drake companion Cruncher, his crew, how he died, and his overwhelming hatred towards fiends (and the thing that dominated him into killing his crew and made him watch helpless as Ousmariku destroyed Liachora).
Ready for the dedicated hour?!
Sounds appropriate Preacher.
Yes!!! Here we go!
Someone please make a google spreadsheet for loot!
Let's please put the dwarven talk in a spoiler or move it to discussion. I am fine with either option.
Let's decide on the dwarf stuff after dedicated hour is finished (and before next week's dedicated hour), which will cover:
- did he provide useful info on how to get to surface
- did any of our group take any of the dwarf's possessions
- if yes, what did others in the group say to stealing from the (not-dead) dwarf?
- did the dwarf offer some of his gear for his life?
- if yes, did anyone want to make such a deal with the dwarf?
Please add any other things you think should be covered with our dialogue with the dwarf.
"Oh, you didn't kill him. We should tie him up, then wake him up and ask him how we get to the surface."
"There's a fit bit of magic here.
Preacher tries to identify some of the items while the dwarf is still invisible (if any are not invisible). When the dwarf becomes visible, he says a quiet prayer over the dwarf's corpse, "Whether your intent was to cause us harm regardless of our preference for peace, may you find your way along the Bone Yard to your deserved final resting place."
Post updated, please refresh!
Heading to bed. G'nite.

Treasure: Millorn’s meager gear is gathered near his camp, consisting of:
- a ratty bedroll
- a small pack filled with dried meat, preserved fruit, and some moldy cheese (6 days of rations) ==> the three NPCs?
- and a chipped 6-inch-tall marble statuette of a humanoid throwing a spear. (The statuette is worth 75 gp) ==> group loot to be sold later?
- spellbook (160 gp value, spells below) ==> ??
In addition to his prepared spells, Millorn’s spellbook contains:
- detect secret doors
- fog cloud
- grease
- invisibility
- resist energy
- shocking grasp
- silent image
As Preacher is the only bloodied PC, he would not be opposed to quaffing the healing potion.
He mentions that both his uncle Iroh, Shimmerella and another of the phantoms, Maiden Medusa, are capable of using the scrolls, and that he is able to use them as well.
He also makes the query that who in the group would be able to make the most use of the potion of invisibility for increasing their ability to make quicker work of foes (via sneak attack/the like).
Sorry about today folks. Wife had a presentation at the mine she is working at. Bunch of foreign ministers wanting to invest and we were rushed to help make sure she gets there on time
