Day Job: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

Show him one of the disks?

This is definitely not Gina's strong suite, so I'm going to keep quiet.

Gina will advance next to it, and try to strike the creature with her blade.

1d20 + 17 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 17 - 3 = 18 Power attack, Arcane Strike
1d6 + 10 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 6 + 3 = 21

will: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

I thought we were going to go through the passwall again and walk our way out the lower tunnel, so that even if the proteans noticed us walking away invisibility they wouldn't care too much. Miscommunication I guess.
Darn. Would be a perfect time for a wall spell.
At least they won't be making sneak attacks anytime soon with our backs to the wall and us invisible.

Assuming the invisibility sphere is still up, Gina casts haste on the party.

She then whispers to the party, "I'll hold position here so the invisibility spell isn't broken. Reform the line at the other tunnel if they don't block it off with their bodies.

Out of curiosity, what gave us away? Did we loose a stealth vs perception roll?

Gina's AC is currently 36.

" Tolgarov still has that nice ring..so he could try to get an invisibility sphere going if we want to try to leave unnoticed?"

Gina already put up invisibility sphere up for this floor. Probably break once we figure out how to get to teleport back to the first floor.

Gina wants to recall what type of breath weapon that dragon we met outside uses.
Take 10 knowledge arcana: 10 + 18 = 28

If no one else wants to swear, we'll grab the disks and go back through the tunnel I created.

"Pppft. You expect me to actually follow through on that?"

The new tattoo superimposes on the other Sheldon brand Gina carries.
"Well, that felt different," Gina says examining the new tattoo. [b]"Looks like another magic property was added to my tattoo."[/b[

Do I feel especially dirty? aka. need an attonement for this?

"Big brother always tells me to gain power when I can."

Gina approaches the alter. She places her hand on the disks, and quietly says, "I proclaim my eternal devotion to the everlasting realm of Haruka, to the power of sloth, and to my runelord. I shall use the powers over my servitors to serve greatest Krune."

If Ezrek doesn't point out any traps or dangerous things of note, Gina will approach the alter.

Whisper to everyone "You think that is a passkey of some kind Ezrek?

Gina casts 'passwall' twice (once using my bonded magic weapon) to create a tunnel from our chamber to the chamber with the nice disks.

Gina then casts 'message' on everyone, then casts 'invisibility sphere' to hide everyone.

"Stay within 10' of me, and keep quiet. Lets go see whats in the other chamber."

Lets go into the next chamber using my tunnel. We can squeeze 2 people per square through the tunnel so we don't break invisibility.

"Looks like there is a shrine with reddish metal plates in the other room. Give me a few moments. I'm doing some mental calculations and measuring distance in my head.

Can you open up the map with the vision I gained from the Arcane Eye? I want to see if I can pull a fast one on the sphinxes.

"Yeah, right. We want to trust the word of a creature bound by a Thasalonian Runelord." Gina says sarcastically. "Runelords of Sloth bind outsiders to do whatever they want. For all we know, those sphinxes were forced to lie and this room held the curse.

Gina continues casting Arcane Eye.

Well, if these arn't the plates, they must be in that other corridor.

What did I see when I was looking down the other hallway? I have blindsight to 40'.

Gina casts darkvision on herself, and then casts Arcane eye, sending it back and towards the other corridor.

"Lets see what is down that other corridor.

GM, Echolocation spell gives me blindsence to 40'. What do I see in the blocked out regions?

You realize we are invading a Thasalonian runelord conjurer's tower, right?

"Sloth"

Well, breaking down the riddle...
I the lord of multiple
Obscure the one from primal sight
Hidden now by factors few
A century I wait in night
Product of the fewest steps
Rise again the runelord’s might
Twice I strode, the lord of sloth
Walk these doors to tower’s height

'Hidden by factors few' and 'Product of the fewest steps' indicates our goal is the number with the fewest factors in it.

One is 'hidden', so it isn't the answer.

'Twice I strode' - I'm betting we'll have to walk through two sets of doors minimum to reach where we want to go.

Gina leads the party through door 7.

Before going in, Gina will cast Echolocation on herself. Lasts 110 minutes.

'Obscure the one from primal sight.' Seems to indicate we ignore door one as a prime number. Door #7 it is.

Its not dead yet? Hack at it some more. If 4 goes down after the first attack, 5' step and slash at the nearest visible enemy.

Power Arcane SLASH: 1d20 + 17 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 17 - 3 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 10 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 3 + 6 = 24

bonus damage: 1d6 + 10 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 3 + 6 = 25

Gina continues to fight monster 4.

damage: 1d6 + 10 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 3 + 6 = 24

Power Arcane Slash: 1d20 + 12 - 3 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 3 = 11

Recovering from the surprise attack, Gina decides to fight monster #4.

attack: 1d20 + 17 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 17 - 3 = 33 *power attack, arcane strike
damage: 1d6 + 10 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 3 + 6 = 25

confirm?: 1d20 + 17 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 17 - 3 = 24
additional damage: 1d6 + 10 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 3 + 6 = 23

attack: 1d20 + 12 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 12 - 3 = 10

Nod to the dragon, head inside.

Marching order is:
FRONT:
Giovanni Valdriano
Gina

MIDDLE:
Ezrek
Tolgarov

REAR
Ceric
Batty

I'm assuming Ezrek's checking for traps?

Gina will cast Overland Flight and Extended Nondetection before the teleport.

"I can fly up and lower some rope."

Very young & lithe half elf, plenty of energy, wearing well traveled but clean clothes. You can hear the soft sound of chain links under the clothes. Several Ioun stones circle over her head.

"So... we are teleporting in blind. Wonderful. What is our timetable? Do we have an idea when the cultists will show up?"

Dot. Will post my character in gameplay tomarrow evening.

Gina: 22168-2

Thanks for GMing.

"..."

"Well, none of this is really any of my business then."

Gina stands on her toes and stretches her harms above her head. She looks back at her companions "Well then, call it a day and go home?"

Blink I'm assuming?

Gina casts Dispel Magic at the Assassin, then moves up adjacent to him.

Caster Level Check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Lol. Considering that Gina is unfamiliar with how everyone thinks, Gina will be quite surprised that everyone suddenly abandoned her.
"Wait. Where did everyone go?!

On another note, damn, he made a single attack and moved that far in a surprise round? Or was that a ranged attack with an arrow?

Lets go back up the stairs.

Full Attack

Scimitar Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (5) + 17 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Scimitar Attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26
damage: 1d6 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Sorry about being absent for a while. My internet was out for about 3 days. Apparently some sort of hardware failure from my cable modem, and I had to get it replaced on Saturday.

Well, so much for surprise.

Cast haste, then move up to engage the nearest opponent.

Since they had a potion of heroism, I may as well drink one.

I auto-aid Mr. K's stealth, so its a 17 stealth roll.

Continue down the hall. We know there are baddies in the great hall with the cages. I think we want to try to get the jump on them

We take the time to trash the remaining gliders. Also, Gina will cast Message on everyone so we have a relatively quiet way to communicate to each other.

Ok, there is a large hall up ahead with several Red Mantis remaining. There is a chance the waterfall masked our sounds from the battle, so hopefully they'll have no idea that we are here. Hopefully, we can take them by surprise too. Lets go.

--------

We'll try to sneak into the hall, with Hawthorne in front looking for traps. I'll use message to aid everyone's stealth checks (telling them to watch out for loose rubble, etc.)

"Hmmm. I think I'll need to take one of these back. These look important to them. We should probably sabotage the rest.

[ooc]Are they small enough to take with me? I'm guessing they are some type of glider?[/b]

Where is the cave that I saw? Is it above us?

Gina shrugs and says, "Oh well. No point in keeping the rest of them alive. Doubt they know anything."

Move up to the closest enemy and Attack once.

Scimitar Attack 1: 1d20 + 17 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 17 + 1 - 3 = 29 Haste, Power Attack
damage: 1d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 6 = 18

Gina gets the bright idea, switches the hold of her blade, and attacks with the flat end of it.
Gina shouts out, "Mr. Candlewood! Keep the mercenaries busy! Noble, please help me knock this guy out so we can interigate him!

"Damnit, they are drinking our treasure."

Gina 5' above the man blocking my way (and opening a space for our reach guy to hit them), and full attack the remaining assassin.

Gina will grow nine inch nails as a swift action in one hand, and then she will make a full attack, swinging with vicious speed at her opponent, taking a 5' step if necessary to execute it.

I'm happy with it.

I'll also be in the front line in front of Hawthorne.

Gina's first action will be to partial charge the closest Red Mantis Assassin. I am flying in this attack.

Damage: 1d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 6 = 18

Gina casts Extended Mage Armor using her rod on Savage Noble (22 hrs).
