Brelar turns to the other creature, "Indeed your highness? How is it that you can both claim to be Xin, but you are so sure one is wrong and one is right?"
"These bars are quite interesting and valuable Arugst, of course we will take them with us!" the wizard grins as he loads the skymetal into the bag of holding. Brelar's eyes widen as he realizes what these creatures truly are. "We all know that neither of you is the Runelord Xin, but that does not in anyway diminish your unique and powerful natures! Please, I am fascinated to learn more of you. Where you have come from, how you have passed these many years. Are you willing to share your stories with us?
Fearing his magic to be less than helpful against this beast, Brelar opts to vanish instead.
Hey guys. Sorry to vanish on you. I was supposed to be going on vacation (but internet access wasn't going to be a problem), though everything last week went pear shaped instead and I am finally able to come up for air. It looks like real life is intruding on others for a bit too. I am here and will get caught up and be ready to continue when the group is. Thanks for being understanding!
Brelar studies and smiles in appreciation. "An elegant design really...each rune it tied to a different magical school, and thus can be activated by a spell of that school. Shall we journey to a vault?"
Brelar tries to identify the magical energies to see if they may pose some kind of more overt threat to us.
"That is an excellent question Argust...
The dragon chews up whatever is left of the disgusting mass!
Brelar orders the dragon to tear the mass into tiny bits!
Brelar orders the clockwork dragon forward to attack!
Brelar still lagging behind after the encounter with the noble aboleth takes the full blast of flame, though his own studies have toughened his skin over the years.
Brelar takes out another scroll of control construct and recites the arcane words. Speaking in the ancient tongue of its Azlanti creators, Brelar orders the dragon to stand down.
Shocked by this sudden, but inevitable betrayal Brelar shakes off the effects of the spell. "I don't think you are going to like this very much, " Brelar says with a hint of sadness in his voice. He looks to his new clockwork pet, then points at the creature that was Althunn and says "Attack!"
Brelar himself is content to direct his new pet as it's massive mouth closes in on the veiled master.
Brelar removes a scroll from his scroll case, after reciting the arcane words he looks at the clockwork leviathon and says "Heel."
Brelar attempts to drop the thing into a spiked pit. DC 22 Ref save! 50' fall and 2d6 piercing damage, though the golem will probably be able to shrug off the damage with DR :)
Brelar unleashes a trio of scorching (acid) rays at the two remaining siyokoys!
Brelar narrowly avoids the bite, but the rest of the attacks take their toll!
Brelar again unleashes an acidball on the foes! DC 24 Ref for half.
Brelar reaches for his metamagic wand, carefully avoiding the siyokoys as he casts, and turns the waters around the part into a caustic explosion of acid (acidball)! DC 24 Ref for half of excluding party members.
"The power of Xin's magic continues to impress me at every turn!" Brelar says after sitting a few moments in the large chair, taking in the awesome power of the spellwell. Taping on the tome of living runes the wizard says to Bert, "This will come in handly for getting rid of any other magical traps Xin may have left to protect the rest."
Brelar continues to act like an anti-magic cloud looming over the quippoth while his companions mash it into bits! Ready to counterspell with greater dispel magic.
Knowing the qlippoth can be quite a powerful spellcaster, Brelar readies his action to counterspell with greater dispel magic should the creature invoke it's arcane power!
Invisible and blind Brelar tries to figure out how best to aid his friends...
That would be very difficult for me to pull off at this point probably. :(
It's probably not a huge surprise to you guys that I've been struggling the last few weeks trying to keep in the game. I have just shut down the two Rappan Athuk games I am running in the hopes that having only this game on my plate will make it easier for me keep up with. We've come this far in the Adventure Path and I'd really like to see it through to the end. So this is my heads up for you guys that hopefully I can get back on track :)
Brelar casts communal resist energy (fire) to help protect the party!
Brelar casts vanish and then moves half speed elsewhere!
Brelar tosses another electricity ball in the general direction of his foes after getting singed again! vs. DC 24 Ref for half! blind hp 64/114
Brelar's optic nerves overload from the light! Not completely certain of his targets, the wizard takes pulls a trusty metamagic wand from his sleeve and tosses and electricity ball in the general direction of his foes! vs. DC 24 Ref for half! blind hp 86/114
"Indeed Argust, this place is filled with the strangest of things we've come across yet! Fascinating and wonderful. Powerful and terrible. The Runelords were powerful rulers, of that there can be little doubt! Brelar spends some time looking over the robe and talking with Bert about it, showing the bard the differences between his own robe and this one. "The thing is, my friend, that this is not at all what it seems to be on the outside. And the compulsion to make someone wear it only furthers to underscore that point. In fact, wearing this robe would not only rob you of your physical strength, but your intellectually capacity as well! It could render a powerful spellcaster nearly powerless. Perhaps I should hold on to this for safe keeping for now..."
Brelar cast shatter on the living runes! DC 23 Fort for half
Sorry guys, another long day today. I hope to get caught up tonight or first thing tomorrow morning.
"I believe we should also take time to attune one of the wayfinders to the main entrance here as possibly pop back to Magnimar. I have a feeling that a few more elemental metamagic rods might be in order given the nature of Xin's shocktroops." Brelar chuckles to himself lightly. "Shock troops. Anyhow, I am not sure I understand the purpose of this ruse with the automation pending to be Xin. Let us investigate further![/b] Brelar will aid Bert's investigation with detect magic as well.
Brelar takes a 5' step around the side of the legionnaires and snaps his wrist freeing a wand of lightning bolt and points it at the two legionnaires unleashing a bolt on them! DC 14 Ref for half!
Brelar unleashes a trio a electrical scorching rays! L1
Brelar kneels before Xin, and casts detect magic while his head is bowed.
but Karn's channel covers the 18 damage so it's all good. Taking in the throne room and Xin's condition Brelar whispers "I've got a bad feeling about this..."
No worries EF. Thanks for the update! We'll be here when you are ready :)

Aquan:
"Certainly we are willing to work with you. Can you tell us what you know of this place already? Is there a problem with the archway to enter?" Brelar gestures toward the archway.
