"Anyone know what that thing is?"

Points to the biggest thing.....of course.

"I meant break the enchantment upon the troll! Of well, this may work as well."

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 221d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"Let us leave this one in peace and discuss our business outside."

Assuming everyone moves out of ear shot of the troll

"So do we attempt to break the curse and obtain aid from the troll, or leave him her and continue our journey?"

"A fine way to hide ones secrets, by creating a powerful illusion of what one seeks, like the siren's song that lures the sailor to the deadly deep."

"We are good friends to have. I believe we can share information."

Chu'ko offers a bow...

"Considering who we are seeking, I distrust things composed of ice and magic.....but no idea of what this item it."

Chu'ko casts detect magic of the new found stash of goods....."What have we here?"

Thundercaller bard

"Thank you....anything down this way besides your shaman?"

"Let us finish this."

1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 231d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Chu'ko sees the giant and the swift moving axe he moves back out of melee and casts a grease spell under the slowed giants....

Thanks a -1 to reflex saves stacks nicely with grease..

"Onwards to the next!

"Maybe I have become reliant upon magic too much."

Critical threat 16-20

Not super harsh, I still have lots of other options. That was a mid-range spell that I did not expect too much out of....

"Here now! There seems to be some confusion, I would hate for us to not get along after we have come so far, and practiced so hard on making ourselves entertaining!"

Chu'ko casts confusion on the assembled giants....

Laughs out loud...

"We are far too puny for snacks, we are entertainment."

Chu'ko begins a performance with his claves....

"Did we not just moments ago give a password to giants? Did we not just walk through a blasting heat and icy field into a dragon's den and now a wall with another voice making demands! We had best start getting some hospitality!"

"So it would seem our path lies ahead."

Once far beyond the dragon....Via private message system...
We could likely starve the dragon by taking out the ring of sustenance....

"Thank you eldest dragon, we shall seek in the beyond."

Calm yourself troll brain, I am trying to trick a dragon out of the magic items stashed under his feet......

"I fear there are too many magical auras in here for us to thorughly study the intricacies of the spell, great dragon, can we remove the auras from beneath the floor the magic is bleeding through?"

"Yes Eden you have the magic, but I can guide you with my magic as well. Seriously though we do need more information."

"Undoing the foreboding of one as powerful we risk death in doing it , as possibly do you Artarguilus, for your soul is bound up within the enchantment and severing that tie might sever your soul from your body....."

"I doubt the troll from one passing knows how to free you."

"Eden?"

"I suppose he could have meant freeing your soul from it's mortal coil, actually the easiest way to "free" you."

Chu'ko no longer continues his thoughts out loud, he instead thinks the scenario through and surmises that the other caster could disentigrate the ring and thus starve the dragon, thus in death freeing him.....never trust a troll.....Or an ogre magi for that matter.

"I did not realize you were bound o greatest of the most free, perhaps I can find the bind, though I doubt as small a thing as I can find or free one as mighty as thee! I must try then!"

Chu'ko casts detect magic....
"Eden, what say you."

DM spell craft? Disable device?

"Fantastic! Incredible! It is as if the molten core of the earth is enveloped in a glacieral age of ice!"

"There is an old tale among my people from long ago when the blade dancers first rose to power a tale of a great dragon, a song of ice and fire, surely this lost tale is of you great Artarguilus. Tell me the tale so that I may bring it back to the tengu of the far mountains. "

Diplomacy 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

"It is an old spell from the days when the elves and tengu worked together and the spell singers were born. The spell can move us all at once even I could trade foes swapping one for another in place. It is similar to dimension door, but for all at once.."

Throws armors into the hole....

Offers the sword to Alathos....

Chu'ko thinks the portable hole is a good place for most of this stuff.

He hefts the sword and likes the feel of it but the holiness feels off in his hand...
"Alathos, this might suit your hand in a time of need."

The ring is one item he looks at long and hard...

"I am glad I was able to get us out of that, I would have done sooner, but I could not see everyone, I fared well enough, when the first blast came I was out and away from it before I even knew what was happening, the frozen mountains of my home have similar dangers, usually the great remorahz strikes that swiftly."

"Enough of this nonsense."

Chu'ko casts bards escape and moves everyone to the safety beyond this field, including transporting Salrann without the block of ice.....

Reflex saves 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 381d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23

Speed reduced by half....

DM is the steam cycle effecting vision? Is it clearing when the cold hits?

Reflex save 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40

Chu'ko is from a vast and frozen expanse, neither the ice falling away from his feet nor super heated water coming violently to the surface surprised him in the least. There were many regions in his home that were treacherous as this, or even worse. The terrain was one reason his tribe rarely dealt with men....

"She's gonna blow! Blasted steam I can not see a thing."

Chu'ko notes the diamond dust often used to raise the dead as far as he knew, used as payment made sense to him....

"Aye I was thinking of raise dead, and hoping none of us need to be brought back."

"Aye, but first tell me true, is my singing as bad as the giants let on?"

Moves towards the entrance as well hoping the summons will carry forward with them into the veil...

Chu'ko selects another giant to begin singing to....

"Don't fear the reaper...."
Lots of cowbell....

"All the world's a critic of a poor artist's art."

Chu'ko finishes his deadly performance forcing the giant near Salrann to make a Will save DC 27 to negate the effect. If a creature’s saving throw succeeds, the target is staggered for 1d4 rounds.....

"For him about to die, I salute you."

Chu'ko begins a bardic performance.....

Targeting one of the giants attacking Salrann.... With deadly performance...

Will not happen until my next turn

Chu'ko sees his friends turning the tide of the battle...he decides to keep reinforcements away....thinking I will use glitterdust as battlefield control to keep others from entering the fray....

"It seems we are fighting giants who are not aligned with the witch queen, perhaps they can be reasoned with?"

Chu'ko taking a rock ball to the chest sets another pool of grease under the throwers.....

by my math I have exactly one hit point remaining.....I have to agree that successfully charging out of grease seems problematic at best.....

which leaves me only one sensible action...grip my rod of quicken and suddenly vanish from sight.....and take my raven form to be invisible and out of reach......

To help Eden I think I will add brilliant inspiration

Eden your supposed to let me cast this before bunnification!!!

Chu'ko retains the veil and decides that these creatures are very resistant to magic....

DM I will grease the ground beneath as many of the five as I can....I am hoping as staggered they fall prone....SR does not apply.

"Did not all hear the consorts command?"

Still waiting for someone to tell them why I can't talk and read the mind to get the password.....

Chu'ko waits patiently for someone to read the mind of the giant and give the password.....

In the meantime he acts as if he knows the word but is unable to speak.....

"Haaatail."

Bluff 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (3) + 23 = 26

I love it when a plan comes together....

The spell in question is found here
Link

It can last concentration + 20 hours..

"I do not speak giantish, If Alathos or someone could teach us a few words that would be useful. Otherwise I shall include my disguise to include thick scars on the neck and you shall refer to me as Ragnar Fire Snuffer who strangled a red dragon to death with my bare hands, but suffered the lose of my voice in return....once we have a few giantish words and names I shall cast the veil."

"Plus friends if we learned anything in our last adventure it is the value of avoiding the lesser enemies, Eden too could save her spells and we can all appears as giants."

"It is our vocational calling I suppose gentle Salrann.... I have learned new magic perhaps a veil of illusion to get us all beyond the encampment? "

Assume gives everyone a new spell update...

The idea of Chu'ko and Salrann in panties is a strange thing.....

"Why do we keep selecting such poor places for sojourning?"

"So do we have a plan?....

Chu'ko whistles a little bit....

Chu'ko having mastered his winged form practiced how he could cast magic from his Raven form.

Chu'ko likewise came upon bard abilities and secrets that held life and death upon a single note....

He spent some time in the libraries catching glimpses of Eden, and the temple seeing Alathos about his business, and in the wilds he believed he caught Salrann a few times from high above.....

Sorry to delay I am pretty much up to date....

DM...I have the tengu wings and raven form feats.

Will you allow the natural spell feat...even though I do not have the druid class feature prerequisite?

The new picture is nice.
