"I haven't met aboleths. But if they can do magic, can they destroy our magic? It would be bad style to walk in prepped and then be turned into a floater with an antimagic field or something leaving us drowning." "Also, I never liked water and I have no clue what will or will not work of my magic. I guess fire not so well and lightning will shock us all? And are aboleths susceptible to my magic, or will they shake it off anyway?"
"That's what she said." Abomentolor comments.
"Are we going to prepare again, or are we improvising this one?"
"Yes. It is not enough to kill the dead guy again, we also need to wipe the floor with his friends." Abomentolor comments. "These lands have a lot of problems with guys who don't stay dead as they should."
"Ugly deep sea monster!" Abomentolor comments.
Abomentolor tries to hide his discomfort, but the thought makes him shudder.
"Resting always sounds good. Not that this fight was hard on me. It was mostly watching Grergof getting beaten up and you spamming the whole place with oversized tigers."
"I wonder if we could send it back to the bottom of the sea where it came from." Abopmentolor muses. "Would that cause another tsunami?"
"I can definitely use the rods." Abomentolor tells, collecting the items. "This cube might be nice. It keps things out. might work to keep the water out. Those ioun stones are for sure nice too. But we'd have to sort through them first."
"I wouldn't want to live there. A sunny beach in Varisia is better than any place we have been in Ustalav. But leaving off the resume that I was there and kicked the ass of the biggest evil there? No way." "But I might consider adding some fancy mansion in one of the upper district to my collection of buildings."
"If the other people in Magnimar are not sitting idly on their ass, it should be fixed before we come back. And if not, we ask Gwen and Jimmy, if they can rebuild the stuff with their fiddle." "But as it wasn't in Underbridge, there are people who kno whow to fix stuff and have some coin to spend on it." Abomentolor clearly isn't into the 'selfless help other people out with manual work' stuff.
"She is kind of into constructs and golems. We sold her one already back inthe days. It's now supporting in her workshop." "You'd think she sells the stuff we bring her to the next tyrant with enough gold?"
"If you don't want to be the hero, that is very humble." Abomentolor compliments Grergof. "This is none of my virtues, I will enjoy it a lot to be a hero." "For the key I have an easy solution. Sell it to Lini. Not only the key, but sell her the whole army, and tell her that is the key for it. Then she can clean out the basement."
"Ustalav? You'd go back to that bleak, dismal country?" Abomentolor asks in disbelief. "That's almost as stupid as living in Underbridge, when you could live in a villa in the Capital District."
"Would you quickly check on him if he turned evil?" Abomentolor requestes from Grergof, pointing at Spugnoir. "Your tigers are good with that elemental?"
Third time is the charm Abomentolor thinks and hurls the same amgic at Xin again, before returning the Sihedron to Grergof, who definitely needs it more than him.
Abomentolor withstands the magic this time. And because he is stubborn he tries some magic at Xin again, even though it failed last time.
Abomentolor tries the old magical tie him up.
And a quickened scorching ray for the crystal dude.
Abomentolor tries if that construct looking thing is indeed a construct and throws a drain construct at it.
Before Grergof heads out, Abomentolor casts blink on Grergof if he wants it, fly and greater invisibility on himself, and haste on the whole party.
"I have nothing hidden up my sleeve, beyond the usual magic. Anyone want some buffs, like invisibility, cats grace, enlarge person?"
Abomentolor casts the enlarge person and shield on Grergof. And while he is at it, the daily mage armor and shield on himself.
"I have nothing hidden up my sleeve, beyond the usual magic. Anyone want some buffs, like invisibility, cats grace, enlarge person?"
"If you can take it, I can too."
"I don't want to go into the water. I hate water. And we have seen what is down there through the crystal floor, haven't we? Experience tells, that Grergof can smash things until they break. And especially for constructs that is working best anyway." "If we're really unlucky, then there is something like a phylactery hidden somewhere and that wannabe Xin comes back later. But even then he'd be only a ghost without a body." "Atua, what do you say to submerged exploring." Abomentolor inquires, hoping for some support here.
"You could use them to litigate him." Abomentolor suggests to Spugnoir. Turning to Atua he offers a short tour through the mansion that is a magnificient foyer which leads to numerous bedrooms and a large dining room. Near transparent servants busy themself offering to help the guests. "Well, it's just some resting place for the night created out of thin air, that will disappear again tomorrow. But it offers better comfort than a tent, or whatever accomodation we could find back in the day and provides a few good meals too."
Abomentolor gets 8HP, +1BAB Additional spells known:
Feat: Quicken Spell I'm open to better suggestions though.
"I agree with Spugnoir." Abomentolor speaks a phrase and waves his hands and with that the door to his mansion appears next to him. "My treat." she tells and gestures for all to enter.
As Abomentolor obviously has the sihedron, he passes it on to Atua. Seeing Grergof smashing the undead to bits he wonders if this was a waste of his magic.
Abomentolor keeps throwing the same magic at the undead.
Abomentolor also hides behind the hot lady and waits for the giant to act and tries to bind it with a chain of light.
"That idea sounds very heroic." Abomentolor comments. "Heroic translates to stupid in my worldview. What if you find something dangerous you can't handle alone? How about doing stoneskin and some fire protection and go all?"
A wall appears, that cuts the demon off from the rest of the occupants of the room and the demon's side is filled with two dozen summoned lantern archons, that start firing their holy beams. "I suggest we leave." Abomentolor tells.
Abomentolor would point out, that the first of Grergof's questions was already answered - if he understood more than half of this conversation. Everyone talking over the others in three different languages gives the gnome an headache.
"Is there something we want here? Or can we simply leave?" Abomentolor inquires, his eyes pointing to the door.
"I mean, if we can tell it won't follow, we can leave it as well."
"I can't see anything, I can't work like that."
Abomentolor hides between Grergof and Atua, before the next arm of the star is touched.
Nothing beats a warm hug." Abomentolor thinks and enjoys the affection. "I try not to be killed, or whatever those evil creatures try to do to me, but I'm not very good at that lately."
Abomentolor starts gesturing with an angry face, until he notices, that the guardians are shattered into pieces and he is surrounded by his allies. "Did I miss something?"
The (garden) gnome statue with the sihedron shining as bright as daylight looks really decorative. If someone was searching for inspiration how a memorial for Abomentolor should look, this is one.
Abomentolor keeps standing in a decorative pose.
Really sucks that petrified counts as unconscious. Would be funny to make some use of those still spell and silent spell feats. But putting him into a garden would be the horror - getting shat on by birds. Ewww.
Abomentolor grabs Grergof and dimdoors him next to the second guardian.
"Looks cool, but in my hands it would be useless."
Abomentolro casts control undead and orders the undead to stand still.
"GAH, you'll pay for that!"
Abomentolor waits for Grergof to activate the teleportation circle again for their travel.
"That thing can be used as a device for true seeing if it isn't about the future or the past but the present and where you are. All the other stuff is blurry guesswork for soothsayers."
