Now I kinda want to try and find a campaign to play in again. It's been a long time since I joined a new one and all those I play in has been put on ice. There are different ways for you to secure invitations for the party, I will introduce one way if you want otherwise you can think up some other ways to get it.
The travel back to Kintargo goes without any incident. Once inside the city limit you over hear the people on the street talk about the upcoming event The Ruby Masquerade that the Lord-Mayor is putting together. And the talk of the town is that invitations have been sent out not only to the aristocrats and promiment besiness owners, but also to several of the common folk of Kintargo. While you are resting in the Lucky Bones from your travels, Zorumar suddenly appear before you. "My friends it's good to see you are still with us. I've just come by to give you a small gesture of thanks for you freeing me from my servitude. the janni says pulling out a 5 foot by 5 foot carpet in front of you which remains float in air. "It's just a small thing from my home, but please take this carpet of flying and use it in you fight. I'll take my leave now, I've had my fill of the Material Plane for now." he than disappears just as suddenly as he appeared before you.
We’re also rapidly reaching the limit where we can just go out and buy the items we want, so item creation feats might be worth considering. In Vyre you can the purchse limit is high so if no one wants to focus on crafting feats the statistics for Vyre is Base Value 14,400 gp; Purchase Limit 100,000 gp;and Spellcasting 9th.

I have to apologise, but I seem to have forgotten to reward you with a level up. I have overlooked that you were supposed to be level 8 before going to the keep. Because of that I'll grant you a double level up now so you hit level 9, and get back on track for the rest of the book. Also because of the destruction of Menador Keep you rebellion rank also increases and you all get a bonus feat which you can pick from the following: Improved Initiative, Toughness, or Fleet.
With the devil dead you unlock the trunk with the key looted from Trunes body. The trunk contains; Magic ring, 980 gp, 6 potions of cure moderate wounds, 6 potions of cure serious wounds, Small +1 human-bane bastard sword, 6 +3 frost arrows, Lacy white dress, Ivory fan, a leather-bound glass flask with attached silver fox-head stirrup cup (liquid inside), and a solid-gold pillbox carved with a leering harpy face (some powder inside). In the room where you fought the Erinye the pieces of tattoed skin showcased on the wall is actually scrolls containing the spells: Break enchantment, displacement, major image, mirror image and seeming. Destruction of Menador keep
Pushing past Jack, Logan finds the door unlocked and opens it to reveal a room which is empty except for the large iron trunk at the far end of the room and a winged creature that seems to be guarding it. Readying it's polearm weapon at the sight of the door opening it yells "Oldh zmy piwzyr pih ylzyr zmuw raap, eryeiry za ky wdifqmzyryv ulzyrdaeyrw." Infernal:
"Only the master may enter this room, prepare to be slaughtered interlopers."
Round 5
Mirabella's spell seems to connect with the devil as she is unable to dodge incoming attacks like she did before. With the devil blinded all of Logan's and Canacha's attacks hits her dealing a large chuck of damage.
Bicks' spell pierce the devils natural defenses and she drops her bow. Round 2
Mirabella succesfully demoralize the devil with her taunts, while Jack's first stab connects with the her and Canacha barely hits with her shot. The Devil deems Jack's weapon the bigge threat and takes a step to the side of Logan so she can hit Jack without him striking back at her.
Round 1
Opening the door you see that the walls of this room are decorated with strips of leather marked with curious designs, images, and pictures, all stretched by taut cords of sinew inside wooden frames. The middle of the room contains a bloodstained table, the top of which is strewn with a dizzying array of surgical implements. In the back of the room stands a lone Erinyes, she looks almost like an albino angel—slim and androgynous, with pale skin, snow-white wings, pink eyes, and a serene expression on her face. "Finally some new entertainment, come show me you tattooes and let me flay them from your skin before you perish." she says as the party file into the room looking to draw her bow. Suprise round
Initiative:
The Anvil of Unmaking is a mechanical device in remarkable working condition, complex in engineering but simple to comprehend.
The dwarven looking creatures doesn't seem very convinced about Mirabella' words alone. However the combined efforts of Bicks and Logan gives them an understanding although they seem confused about this Cheliax thing Logan mentions "We understand thy plight, we do not sense any malicious intend from you. If thy are to assume activation of the anvil, it signals our tenure is done and we may return and await new assignments from Torag's worshipper elsewhere." they answer in unison and steps aside to grant you all entrance to the anvil.
@Everyone, I was having a look through you character sheets and I noticed some of you seem to have either overlooked a bonus feat you received or have forgotten to add it to your sheets. You should all have have a bonus feat from each of these categories, so if you would take a look at see which you missed to pick it would be helpful. Each PC gains one of the following as a bonus feat: Alertness, Deceitful, Persuasive, or Stealthy. Each PC gains one of the following as a bonus feat: Great Fortitude, Iron Will, or Lightning Reflexes.
Jack doesn't detect any traps near the door, but he detects a magical trap on the door itself. Having told the others the corridor is safe Mirabella steps forth in front of the door to recite a prayer to Torag which cause the door to swing open revealing what's behind. Thick layers of dust cover the floor of this room and the looming contraption of stone and iron it contains. Looking something akin to a massive, squat bell of stone bound in iron bands, the device is connected to pillars of iron to the west, east, and south via taut metal chains. Four iron beams radiate from the top of the central bell, almost like the wheel of an ancient winch. Before the device stands to stocky dwarves armed with flaming warhammers and a pair of metallic wings on their back, as they approach you can see their skin are nearly jetblack.
Mirabella detects the door with the face at the other end of the hallway is magical. Mirabella easily read the runes, she determines it's written in the dwarven tongue. Linguistics DC20 or speak dwarven: Beyond is the Anvil of Unmaking, yet woe to those who give not prayer to the Father of Creation before undoing what his children hath wrought.
Jack checks the door for traps but finds non and slowly opening it. Dust covers the floor and cobwebs hang from the ceiling of this vaulted, fifty-foot-long hallway. Curved alcoves flank the hallway, four to a side. Each alcove contains a long-dry basin held aloft by a stone dwarf.
Mirabella notices symbols of the Forgefather Torag on the statue. Arcane DC20:
The graven guardians are faith bound, meaning the can't attack anyone openly wearing the holy or unholy symbol of it's deity. Arcane DC25:
The graven guardians have fast healiner, can cast haste om themselves 1/day as a spell-like ability and gain extra abilities from their deity's domains.
Mirabella remembers hearing about these, they are Graven Guardians, they are crafted and painted to resemble a deity or it's favored servants. Graven guardians are inexorably tied to a specific deity’s faith. While unintelligent and thus lacking any real personality, a graven guardian has the ability to recognize fellow worshipers or minions of its deity and does not treat them as enemies unless they first attack. Mirabella knows these have the useal construct traits aswell as you will be needing adamantine weapons to damage them.
Bicks can feel the statue furthes away isn't affected at all by the spell, while the one closer to you seems to have been dazzled.
The statues attack back at their attackers.
Turn 1+2 (Bold may act.)
Jack doesn't detect any traps. Jack doesn't make it all the way to the opposite door, as after a few feet into the room two of the statues begins to animate and swiftly draws their warhammers and move to block Jack from going further in. Turn 1 (Bold may act.)
