Were-Njord wrenches and squeezes the demon-bird trapped in his clawed grip.

Grapples: 3d20 ⇒ (17, 6, 2) = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 + 6 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 6 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 + 6 = 19

Reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

Brandishing his grappled opponent, Were-Njord manages to avoid the bulk of the priestess's fiery spell.

Feeling his demonic victim go limp after Randall does his bloody work, the mighty man-bear lumbers toward the next demon.

Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (2) + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 + 6 = 19

Grapple: 1d20 + 32 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 32 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 53

Were-Njord thunders forward to join his tiny halfling companion in battling one of the demons.

Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 34
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 6 = 24

Grapple: 1d20 + 32 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 32 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 38

Lacking any of his friends' cleverness, Bear-Njord thunders into the room and roars a challenge.

Were-Njord steps over the broken body of the vrock at his feet to tear at the larger opponent still standing.

Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 37
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 6 = 24

Haste Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 36
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 + 6 = 20

Nations have gone to war for less!

Were-Njord roars in challenge before going to work on the blind demons before him.

Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 32
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 2 + 6 = 21

Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (20) + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 42

Confirming: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 25
Extra Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 + 6 = 23

Haste Claw: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 2 + 6 = 20

Njord roars as he thunders forward. Very quickly his alter ego takes over and the big ulfen undergoes a now familiar ursine transformation.

Move. Transform.

Going to try to get things moving again.

Njord rubs a smelly ointment on his skin and gives his friends a nod. "Let's do it!"

False Life: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Njord keeps tossin'!

Toss (haste, good hope, inspire): 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 22
Fire Damage: 6d6 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 27

Njord hucks another explosive gourd.

Fire Damage: 6d6 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5, 1, 1, 6, 1, 3) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 22

Njord tosses another gourd at the rune's trapped guardians with more explosive results.

Toss (haste, good hope, inspire): 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 30
Fire Damage: 6d6 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6, 5, 3, 6, 4) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 35

Njord retrieves one of his rarely used explosive gourds and hurls it at the trapped gug.

Toss (haste, good hope, inspire): 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 38

Confirming: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 30
Extra Fire Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 10

With the worst of his wounds mended, Njord grips his weapon tightly and moves back to the front of the party's formation. "Thanks Xiddik!"

Njord fends off many of the claws but still ends up rended and bloody. Without giving an inch he turns his blade on his attackers.

Primary (inspire, heroism, hope): 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 33

Njord continues hacking at the scaly defenders with his noqual blade.

Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 2 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 + 6 + 2 = 18

Good hope will still be up but just barely.

Njord springs into action, hacking powerfully at the scaled defenders.

Primary (inspire, heroism, hope): 1d20 + 18 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (16) + 18 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 35

"You got it Randall!" Njord says a few octaves too loudly.

"It sounds like it's going to be a fight anyway. Want me to lead the way Randall?" Njord asks with a wide grin.

Njord shrugs. "There's a good chance we're gunna scrap with 'em but there's no sense in picking fights we don't have to. Let's check out that trapdoor you spotted and see where it takes us."

"Let's check it out Randall. If nothing else it'll give us a chance to get the mud outta our boots", the big ulfen suggests with a laugh.

7 charges will do it. Thanks!

"I've had worse", the big man admits. "But I wouldn't mind a few hits from that wand of yours."

With the antlion dead Njord wrests himself free from the huge beast's silvery jaws. The big man sputters and hacks as he coughs up the thick mud that the creature poured over him during the fierce battle. Eventually, with a groan, he climbs to his feet and stands up straight. Blood freely seeps from his wounds, mixing with the mud dropping from his brawny form but none of his injuries appear life-threatening.

He pats Prickles gingerly on the head and gestures toward the sunken towers. "Let's not waste anymore time getting inside. I don't want to tangle with another one of those things."

Fort: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 17 + 2 = 39

Njord continues desperately hacking at the bizarre beast.

Primary (haste, inspire, heroism): 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 24

Damage: 1d8 + 7 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 + 6 = 20

Oh, my mistake. I thought accursed glare was mind affecting. No, there's no reason to believe that it would not work. Should I assume that's what Firiel does?

Firiel's fiery projectile misses its mark but Prickles' missile chips away at the antlion's form.

Fort: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 17 + 2 = 37

Njord manages to spit up the thick mud pouring over him. Before it can strike again, he hacks at the beast in self defense.

Primary (haste, inspire, heroism): 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 3 = 24

Fun. Where at?

I have returned! Korea was very warm and humid but I endured.

Thank you for your patience.

That's some serious water pressure.

We got a wand of lesser resto here that I think is still in the wrapper. Go nuts!

It would take a very long time to travel between the glyphs entirely on foot.

"Let's head back to the shrine and get some rest", Njord suggests as the last vestiges of his furry transformation melts away. "I'd say we made good progress on avertin' the apocalypse for the day."

Sorry. Paizo's been absolute balls the last couple days.

Were-Njord thunders forward to aid the trapped elf. With a ursine grunt he slams his undersized weapon into the otherworldly horror's barbed appendage.

Sword (inspire, haste): 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 20 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 3 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 + 9 = 21

I'm alive! I'm moved in now and have internet but I won't have access to my desktop machine for another week so posting might continue to be spotty until then.

I wanted to update tonight but I don't have the book on my tablet. I'll try to find a way to get access to it tomorrow.

Almost three years ago the party was given a bunch of consumables. I don't think most of them have even been touched.

Were-Njord huffs in understanding and them muscles his way down the cliff with Firiel in tow. Once he's in range, he begins smashing the slimy earthen surface with one enormous fist.

That explains why I couldn't find it!

Were-Njord mauls the trapped roper, tearing with his ursine maw and ripping its flailing tendrils from its body.

Standard Grapple: 1d20 + 27 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 3 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 27 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 3 + 5 = 48
Damage: 1d6 + 12 + 2 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 + 2 + 6 = 25

Swift Grapple: 1d20 + 27 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 3 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 27 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 3 + 5 = 50
Damage: 1d6 + 12 + 2 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 + 2 + 6 = 23

Did you mean everyone except Randall? He's the only one outside the group formation.

Were-Njord digs his massive clawed paws into the slimy wall bringing himself and his passenger into melee range with the nearest roper. I think it's just Firiel since Randall took off for the glyph.

Claw (inspire, haste, hope): 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (7) + 20 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 3 = 29
Damage: 1d6 + 12 + 2 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 + 2 + 6 = 28
Grab: 1d20 + 27 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 27 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 3 = 34

Were-Njord huffs and growls unintelligibly as he continues scaling the wall toward the glyph.

Jametor can fly himself. Njord can climb. That just leaves you covering the hobbits and Xiddik.

"It's slippery but I should be able to make the climb once I get furry. I 'spose I could carry someone if they can hold on tight", Njord offers.

"If we're aimin' to take out one of these glyphs a day, two should be enough", the big ulfen says. "Everyone ready to get started?"

A simple alarm spell would do the trick.

"That sounds like a good plan Jametor, as long as Haiten doesn't mind hostin' us. How many of those teleportation spells can you cast today?"

"Whatever passes for mornin' down here I suppose", Njord adds. "Don't worry Miss Haiten, we'll get you out of there in no time."

"Everyone ready to see what's downstairs?"

Njord hustles up the stairs and studies the altar. "Sure I'll give it a shot!"

Noting the increasing concern from his friends, especially Xiddik's subtle warning, Njord sips a vial of thick purple sludge.

False Lifes: 1d10 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Njord steps toward the surviving drow and brandishes his noqual blade.

Primary (haste, heroism): 1d20 + 18 + 1 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 1 + 2 - 3 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 6 = 17

Damage: 1d8 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 6 = 18

Getting the 'okay' from his friends, Njord leans into the enormous doors.

Yes.

This door has vexed us long enough. Njord is happy to open the door if the plan is to kick it down and talk to the shaitan.

"Bearing. I think you mean bearing", Njord adds as he falls in behind the kobold.
