Qilfobber gives the sages a deep bow.

"I would be honored to join your ranks, in time..."

Thanks for GM'ing, Suede!

Qilfobber gives Amenopheus a solemn nod and helps Liam get to his feet.

"What's the next step?," he tentatively asks the sages as a whole.

Qilfobber steps up to Voros and pours another eldritch volley into Tahari.

"Her wards are faltering! Keep up the assault!"

Burning my last 5th level spell to make an Arcane Blast:
Ranged Touch Attack, PBS+PS, fatigued: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 - 1 = 29
Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 2, 4, 5, 2) = 20

Qilfobber runs around a corner and attempts to blast Tahari's flank.

Sacking a 5th level spell to make an Arcane Blast.
Ranged Touch Attack, PBS+PS, fatigued: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 - 1 = 17
Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 6, 4, 6, 4) = 26

Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
Reflex, fatigued: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 1 = 23

The gnome recovers splendidly against Tahari's continued magical assault.

I have no tricks up my sleeve to deal with the dazed effect.

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Tahari's nefarious spell clouds the poor gnome's mind.

Qilfobber steps back and attempts another eldritch blast at Tahari.

Sacking a 5th level spell to make an Arcane Blast.
Ranged Touch Attack, PBS+PS, fatigued: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 - 1 = 16
Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 1, 4, 5, 2) = 21

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Qilfobber stumbles over to Torch and hurls a bolt of energy at Tahari.

Sacking a 5th level spell to make and Arcane Blast.
Ranged Touch Attack, PBS+PS, fatigued: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 1 - 1 = 14
Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 4, 6, 4, 4, 2) = 25

Qilfobber reaches out to the time dragon and enters her mindscape.

Qilfobber reaches into Amenopheus' mindscape and is dismayed that he can't help the venerable wizard.

I'm sorry old friend...

He then slips past him and positions himself between the sapphire and diamond sages. From this risky position, he converts spare arcane power into a nebulous blast, hoping that the evil infused in the very stones of this place will be tricked.

"Brutus! Look out!"

Sacking a 5th level spell to make an Arcane Blast at Ermais.
Ranged Touch Attack, PBS+PS: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 = 18
Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 2, 6, 1, 3) = 24

Before the ritual, Qilfobber helps secure the room.
Perception: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (20) + 32 = 52

Once the seance starts in earnest, the quick-fingerede gnome fusses around and makes minor adjustments and realignments to the ritual, aided by his invisible valet.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38 +4 on the off chance it's dragon related

Damn... 2018 is off to a great start :D

"Well, here goes nothing... Let's see if your cure has worked, Voros."

Qilfobber tentatively casts a spell. Casting Resist Energy (acid) on himself.

Much as I'd like to sort through the ritual room, I have to say that ridding us all of this nasty disease is probably the better option.

Qilfobber sighs.

"I guess so, Voros. Let's start from one end and open them all one at a time."

Did someone say traps?

Qilfobber gives the sarcophagus a doubtful look.

Perception: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (2) + 29 = 31 +5 vs traps

Cantrips as well? Jeez...
Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

The color drains even further from Qilfobber's face.

"Perhaps you should use that wand on me as well, Liam..."

Detect Magic + Spellcraft: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35

Qilfobber mirrors Liam's sweep of the room before addressing the more pressing issue of the eldritch malady.

"Let's head back and see what you can manage, Voros. I'd much prefer not having my life force sapped more than it already has..."

Qilfobber gives the not-so-secret hallway a sweeping bow.

"Brutus, will you do us the honor and lead the way?"

"Nicely spotted Roland!"

Qilfobber looks for traps down the no longer secret hallway.

Perception: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (11) + 30 = 41 +5 vs traps

It looks like things are starting to get serious, so I wouldn't mind getting rid of Qilfobber's 2 negative levels as well.

Qilfobber completely ignores Torch's muttering and gives the ominous script a long, hard look.

"Perhaps we can make sense of them ourselves..."

Are there any checks we can make?

Now's as good a time as any, I guess. We still have the (potion/wand?) from before, right?"

Even with the 2 negative levels, I can't fail the Perception checks.

"The statues are holding a wand each, and the bridge is trapped. Not for long, though..."

Qilfobber goes to work on the trap with trained ease.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 29 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 29 - 2 = 46

Qilfobber gives a dispassionate shrug at the unfolding events and searches the door on the far side far traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 30 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 30 - 2 = 30 +5 v traps

I do have a life bubble spell active, so the fumes aren't an issue for me. A resist energy (acid) spell should then do the trick, and I can cast that my self.

Perception: 1d20 + 30 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 30 - 2 = 42 +5 v traps

Qilfobber translates the vellum sheet for Voros.

"The inscription in the first chamber said that the incubation room is in this end of the complex as well. We should press on..."

"Interesting indeed... I hope you both keep good notes, mental or other."

Yup, east looks like the way to go.

Qilfobber takes a peek down the unexplored hallway.

Perception: 1d20 + 30 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 30 - 2 = 48 +5 v traps

Would Liam and/or Roland care to summarize their delve into the mindscape?

Qilfobber shrugs.

"I wouldn't risk it. You never know what a Razmiri has under his "priestly robes"...

"Go ahead Roland. We'll keep your bodies safe."

Can't beat a DC 21 Sense Motive.

Qilfobber shrugs dispassionately.

"I'll volunteer to enter the mindscape unless someone else really wants to instead."

"Don't mind if I do..."

Qilfobber starts tampering with the mindscape portal.

Disable Device, negative levels: 1d20 + 29 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 29 - 2 = 41

I might have been unclear, but Qilfobber can speak Ancient Osirian, so he'll translate the whole lot.

You never know until you ask :D
1-25 = good: 1d100 ⇒ 99
1-25 = good: 1d100 ⇒ 42

As for the wand and Torch's goody bag, I say we wait and see for now, and then ration Restorations out when the negative levels pile up to high for comfort. Scrolls of Restoration are 700 gp a pop, so that's what, 8 in total, each of which removes all current temporary negative levels from the recipient.

Hidden rolls are completely fine with me. It adds to the mystery...

Fortitude (c'mon nat 20!): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

GM, I have the Deathless armor ability on my Bracers of Armor. Would that apply here?

Qilfobber recoils as the spell painfully completes, but his eagerness is quick to return when the servant turns up the fragmented notes.

"Of course I can read them, Roland. The crystalline fluid might cure what ails us. Can anyone determine its nature?"

Qilfobber shrugs.

"Dunno... Let's see if I'm afflicted in a similar manner."

He then attempts to conjure an Unseen Servant.

Qilfobber peeks into the room from behind the taller agents legs.

"Like it or not, Roland, we're here to secure the facility. The entire facility...

He strokes his mustache for a moment before continuing.

"I could send in an Unseen Servant first, though. Have it mess about with any potentially contagious parts af the room to see what happens.."

"Or we can try to disable it all together, Magor..."

Qilfobber tries to disable the magical cleansing processes.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (4) + 29 = 33
I can disable magical traps like a rogue.

Qilfobber's usually calm demeanor is shattered as Magor miscasts his spell.

"Could it be a feature of this room, or are we doomed to avoid casting spells in this entire blasted place?!"

He searches the entry chamber before the party moves on to the cleansing room.

Perception: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (2) + 32 = 34 +5 vs traps

I'll of course also search for traps as we move around the complex.

Qilfobber taps himself with a wand a few times and casts the spell from the scroll he purchased in Merab.

Casting Life Bubble and, I auto-succeed the DC 20 UMD for the wand.
CLW x3: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 4, 6) + 3 = 19

"Torch'll do.", me states as he casts another spell on himself.

Greater False Life: 2d10 + 11 ⇒ (2, 6) + 11 = 19

Qilfobber pulls out some rations from the depths of his haversack and offers some to any want them.

While eating some himself, he scans the area for anything else of interest.

Perception: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (2) + 32 = 34

"Huh, two wands and a kopesh, possibly of ancient design."

He casts a cantrip and focuses on the items.

Spellcraft, wand: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (17) + 18 = 35
Spellcraft, wand: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22
Spellcraft, kopesh: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25

Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

As the unnatural hunger pangs worsen, Qilfobber chastises Liam for his carelessness.

"Get out of harm's way if want to sling spells! I doubt Razmir's grace can save you this far from Thronestep..."

He then peeks out from behind the rubble pile and launches another arc of lightning at the massive horror; not as a spell, but rather from his own mouth, his eyes glowing with intense light as he does so.

Electricity damage: 11d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6, 3, 4, 4, 6, 3, 1, 5, 6) = 46 Reflex DC 22 for half

Fort DC 24: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Qilfobber darts past Liam and blasts the undead behemoth's flank with a lightning bolt from behind a pile of stray rubble..

Electricity damage: 10d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 3, 1, 4, 2, 6, 2, 5, 6, 4) + 10 = 49 Reflex DC 20 for half

"Let's finish this!"

Fort DC 24: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Fort DC 19: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Deciding that brute strength alone wont stop the obelisk, Qilfobber starts to tamper with it's construction.

I'm not sure which skill is relevant, but here're my best guesses:
Use Magic Device, sage bonus: 1d20 + 24 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 24 + 3 = 33 +5 if Disable Device

I'd say that we should have the lich help us with the monolith.

Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 GM, is the monolith's damage Negative Energy?

"What a terrible nuisance..."

QIlfobber calms his mind and weaves a teleportation spell to move Voros, Liam, Brutus and himself up to the monolith.

Casting Dimension Door with the planned destination marked on the map.
Concentration DC 14 + the hands' CMB: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (16) + 25 = 41

Knowledge (arana): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

Qilfobber shrugs at Torch's overly polite manner.

"There's no reason for that awkward tone. You played us, albeit in a rather devious manner, but I've known you to long to not expect such things from you."

Turning his attention to the two jeweled sages he has never met before, Qilfobber becomes visibly excited.

"It is a great honor to meet you both. Have you been able to divine any useful information about Tahari's lair?"

Qilfobber rolls his eyes at Magor's assertion of leadership and prepares to leave.

"I have a few preparations that I need to see to before we leave. They shouldn't take long."

I'll purchase a Lesser Ectoplasmic Metamagic Rod (3,000 gp) and a Scroll of Life Bubble (1,125 gp) before we leave the city. If anyone wants in on the the Life Bubble action, we can split the cost as many ways as needed.

Qilfobber takes the news concerning Torch in stride.

"If all the sage jewels need to be cleansed at once for the ritual to be succesful, then let's bring him along. I'd say it's better to end this taint once and for all, even if Torch's track record is less than stellar."
