Same here. Nice playing with you all but please inactivate GOrguk.

I think it is obvious. They were asking about something they were looking for. They think it is here and have come to claim it. Not only that but they hired assassins against us and are here illegally. Now if anyone has plans or preparations to make hurry and do so before I rush in and start laying down the law as set forth by those who sanctioned the rediscovery of this place.
Talking quietly Gorguk moves up to the gate, Lets get this open. They are on the other side! Gorguk then casts detect evil and keeps his focus up so that when they see their quarry he knows their allegiance even though he assumes their guilt.
When Gorguk hears the concerns in Jalal's voice he instantly takes a more guarded approach and draws his scimitar. Holding it out in a defensive stance Gorguk once again detects evil and keeps it up as Jalal continues to do his investigation.
Not a follower of Nethys Gorguk resolves to play it safe. If we are unsure of what the pool would do to you then I advise that we leave it alone for now. Let us find the Siters and rid ourselves of them. Once that task is done then we can worry about the mysteries of the pool at your leisure.
Gorguk continues to hold the rear as Te assumes the rest will be investigating the pool to see if it has the same properties as the one earlier. When the others are ready to move on then he will join them crossing the gate.
Letting the others search the area for information Gorguk takes things a bit more practical and scans the area with detect evil first before proceeding any further. The fact that there was also a room behind them that was unexplored gnawed at him and he keeps a watchful eye to the rear fearing an ambush.
Gorguk looks north quickly as Alzaar questions their route. If memory serves me properly, heading north would just bring us back to a room we have already explored. However it might not be a bad idea to double check our location and then come back here to continue heading south. I could be direction turned though so if you wish to chose a different route that is fine by me.
Gorguk graciously accepts the shield as he straps it to his forearm. I will out this to good use. However once we are done clearing this area out you can have it back.
Once informed of the spear and armors properties Gorguk looks at the party as a group. I have no need for such armor as I prefer the heavier type that offers more protection. The spear is a powerful weapon but who among you is best able to wield it.i could wield it but I also prefer my goddesses weapon when given the opportunity. Still if no one can use it I will carry it and shop oils we run across a foe that requires a magical weapon I will wield it or let someone get it from me. If anyone wants either please speak up.
Gorguk looks down at the fallen foe. If it had not attacked and was not an undead creature perhaps Groguk would have given thought to asking for surrender. However given the circumstances Gorguk did what was only right in his mind. Bringing his scimitar down again Groguk tried to clove through the head of the skeleton and end the unlife that it was given. power attack for
Thanks Rhade. It was strange yet an abomination all the same. As Jall says, Pharasma rules the undead but Sarenrae has her influence over them as well. Namely returning them to their proper state. Gorguk then claims one of the potions of healing as even though he has Sarenrae's blessings to heal, the potency of the potion would do wonders spas he drinks it.
As they open the next chamber and proceed forward Gorguk realizes that this foe is a worthy challenge for him and deserving of Sarenrae's divine judgement. Will save Swift to pronounce smite on the skeleton warrior as he moves forward and attacks with power. Power attack for bypassing any DR.
Gorguk stands resolute and is a shining beacon of courage for the others as the attacks the strange undead creature before him as it tries to stand up. (immune to fear and +4 for everyone in 10ft) aoo power attack for Then he shifts to get a flank with someone as he brings his scimitar down again with power. power attack for
Not to be a downer but it has been 3 weeks with nothing. Just a heads up but if I don't hear anything in the next 2-3 days I will likely be looking for another campaign. sorry for this but I do not like waiting around with no word at all. It only takes 30 seconds to say I am busy for ____________ and will be gone till __________ to keep me around. I understand real life happens but still a single comment is all I ask for.
Gorguk raises his scimitar and charges forward upon the abomination. Vile undead creature. Release your hold on this world and rest eternally. power attack charge for
It might be useful for that reason but I prefer to use the scimitar as that is my deity's favored weapon. Additionally I would lose the benefit of my shield. While it does not protect me greatly it is still a boon I would rather not be without. Still, it is a fine weapon and someone should take it. Looking at Rhade, Why not yourself for the time being Rhade. I am sure you could handle it well enough and it only requires 1 hand to hold onto. You could still cast a spell with your free hand then if you needed to.
Thank you Kakra. I agree we should not use all of our abilities up right now yet we must be somewhat prepared to move on. I am ready to go and find the Sisters if there is nothing else in the room that we need to worry about.
My talents lie elsewhere but do not fret over it. If no one wants it I will carry it with the rest of the gear as we move along. Looking at Kakra, I do have one more bit of healing afforded to me but would appreciate saving it for later if needs be. Do you have anything to help heal the last of my wounds?
Breathing heavy with some pain still in the ribs Gorguk nods yes. I could go on but i would not say no to some healing if you got it.
Alzaar bot Trip attempt from last round
Thankful for the timely intervention by Kakra Gorguk has little breath to spare for thanks as he focuses on the threat in front of him. Power attack for
Gorguk finds another chink in the statues armor as he continues to hack away at the creature. He then heals himself some of his wounds hoping to outlast this creature. Lay on hands
Reflex save Gorguk feels the heat of the flames wash over him but Sarenrae protected him from most of the pain. As it was he was too intent on the guardian before him to pay much heed to Kakra's Flames other than it scorched his opponent. Status : 20/25 hp
Feeling the blood trickle from the wound Gorguk stanches the flow momentarily as he draws the scimitar back for another strike. LoH power attack for
Sarenrae guiding his hands Gorguk lashes out at the Guardian fire crackling from the blade as the scimitar cuts cleanly through severly injuring it.
Gorguk moves to the creatures right making sure not to get within its reach before he is ready. Once there Gorguk attqcks putting as much force into the blow as possible. Power attack Take the opposing flank so we can gang up on it!
If no one takes the lead then Gorguk will approach the statue first paying mind that although he worships Sarenrae he is still in Nethys' domain here. Once safely there he will head to the west doors to barricade them.
I have an assortment of gear with me but no chain nor locks. I do not have any spikes either to drive in the ground to prevent the door from opening. I have a crowbar if you think that could be wedge to keep the door closed? Gorguk goes through his inventory whiel he waits for the others to decide which path to take. Portable ram, shovel, crowbar, miner's pick, rope. I have everything needed to open a stuck door but nothing to keep one closed. Next time we are in town I will remedy that.
Are there any tracks as to tell us which way they went? If not then we need to lock or bar 1 set of doors to make sure they do not come back this way while we are searching the other path.
Not having drunk any of the water from upstairs Gorguk is hesitant to cross under the watchful gaze of the statue of amethyst. Still there was only 1path to take unless Alzaar could find a secondary route. With that in mind goruk looks at the rogue. Any other exits from here that we can not see? To the more mystical Gorguk adds, or any magic that could give clue to any traps or surprises before we go forward?
Seeing Alzaar get cut severely Gorguk has a flashback of the previous party he was a member of before. Rushing forward but making sure not to step wher Alzaar triggered the trap Gorguk goes to staunch some of the wounds. LOH Kakra, we have need of you!
You might as well put it to good use. this does not seem like it would need to remain hidden as the missive indicates for the other item. We will have to search more as Rhade suggests once we get rid of the Sisters. Gorguk flicks his scimitar in preparation for the eventual meeting with them.
After looking at the tablet himself Gorguk muses, Perhaps the relic has been transferred to this new city. This Crook and Asp location they make mention of. We are here in their temple but this is not a new city. If possible we might need to look into this as there are other treasures that it speaks of as well.
As the scroll crumbles to ash Groguk lets the others examine the contents while he takes care of Alzaar. LoH That should take some of the sting away.
Thanks Rhade, perhaps Sarenrae will bless me with fireupon my strike. Gorguk moves up to aid his companions bringing his scimitar down upon the burning scroll. for His aim continues to be off as he is too worried that the paper will start him on fire.
Are you guys wating for me? I thought it was the scroll's turn to go first.
As Rhade is drug along by Alzaar Gorguk moves to the last remaining doorway to the north and prepares to meet the Sisters or whatever may be behind the door. Caution friends, who knows what devious traps or creatures are going to be sprung on us.
That is fine as there is too much here for me to look at currently with the distraction of the Sisters. Once they have been taken to task then take all the time you need.
Gorguk keeps watch over the area and particularly those behind them should the Sisters make a sudden appearance. Periodically though he still tries to help with the search of all the scrolls even though he may not know exactly what he is looking for. Perception aid
Are there any tracks in the dust that would point the way? Or perhaps indicate which past was used most recently?Gorguk asks before those in the front disturb anything.
Gorguk looks on the inscription and ponders what Kakra has said. Of all of us Kakra and I are perhaps the most pious and we would do well to listen to her guidance in spiritual matters. However, in this instance, I believe letting the Sisters reign free is a greater sacrilege than entering ourselves.
Gorguk looks at the undead with a strange smile, It seems we are on the right track as only the Sisters could have done this recently. We have seen no other sign of another presence which means the Sisters must be just ahead of us. We should proceed cautiously and check the door for traps that they may have left behind.
Wow, quite impressive. I didn't even have a chance to move and you vanquished all of them. If every situation was this easy we would have been able to finsih this place yesterday. I am still nervous though that we may run into the Sister too late. Still let us not hurry onward without doing our due diligence here. I will keep watch while you search this area.
If Jalal does not put it down then Gorguk moves up to finish the zombie. power attack for
Gorguk waits patiently as they discover lost artifacts of the ancient days Orr worship. As there is no threat currently Gorguk is content to wait till they have satisfied themselves that all is searched and accounted for. While they search though Gorguk keeps his eyes and ears open for the Siters that he knows are here somewhere.
