Perception1d20 + 24 ⇒ (14) + 24 = 38
Query wanders the room slowly, his faintly glowing eyes drifting over each section of the room before he turns his head to Ori.
"Room is secure. Guardians are gone, though traps likely. Apologies for an incomplete purging." he says with a slight bow.
"Attempting location of book."
His eyes flash a bright blue, as does a rune that circles around his left eye socket, and he begins rotating in place as if looking for something.
Cast Locate Object
"Magical location failed. Book is not within range, or is protected from my sight. Manual location is required." his eyes cease glowing and he continues to scan the room.

Perfectly reasonable. Only thing wrong so far was the "guardian of a lich" part. Grisgol are made from a lich's phylactery after a lich has been destroyed.

I thought that once the Grisgol was destroyed...The lich would reform as normal unless the Phylactery is found and obliterated.

Reflex for Elemental: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 Takes 36.
Reflex for Deva: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25 Takes 26.
If the spells were level 3 or lower, they straight up don't affect the two.

Astral Deva:

Full attack on Non-Elemental'd grisgol
Attack 1: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (7) + 28 = 35
Attack 2: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (10) + 23 = 33
Attack 3: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32
Damage 1: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Damage 2: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
Damage 3: 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Accompanying Fort Saves
Fort DC23: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 42
Fort DC23: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (6) + 22 = 28
Fort DC23: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (12) + 22 = 34[/ooc]

Elemental:

Full Attack on the same Grisgol as last round.
15' reach, so shouldn't be a problem.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (14) + 29 = 43
Attack 2: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (12) + 29 = 41
Damage 1: 2d10 + 15 ⇒ (5, 5) + 15 = 25
Damage 2: 2d10 + 15 ⇒ (5, 1) + 15 = 21

"Grisgol. Guardian construct of a Lich. Impervious to magic."
He turns to you and his eyes flash as he accesses the bank of knowledge within before sharing what he knows.
Reasonable for me to share the info on the Grisgol page, given my Know. roll earlier?

"Purging will complete in short order. Please wait here until completion." he says as he takes a step into the doorway after you all leave.
From inside the room you hear the continued assaults from the summoned beings, and between the continued assaults of the elemental's powerful fists and the deva's flailing hammer, Query seems quite confident in that the two beings will not survive much longer.


Warforged Gestalt: Wiz 20 || Archivist Bard 10 / Loremaster 10

"Vacate. Purging commenced." Query warns the group, signalling them to retreat from the room as his summon begins to emerge...
Elder Earth Elementals
Its body half melded with the stone of the floor, it surges towards the nearest Grisgol, attempting to overpower the construct.

Awesome Blow: 1d20 + 43 ⇒ (12) + 43 = 55
Damage: 2d10 + 15 ⇒ (2, 5) + 15 = 22
If the check makes it, the Grisgol is knocked back 10 feet into a wall if applicable...Which would do an additional 1d6 damage from "Falling".
I'm not sure, but Greater Overrun makes it so that this movement provokes attacks from my allies. So I dunno if Awesome Blow would use that, but if so, then have at him, Jeran!

As soon as his summon is on the battlefield, Query visibly 'relaxes', his arms at his side as he takes a step back into the hallway.
The Deva takes a few steps over, provoking an attack from the Grisgol as he places himself between Ori and it.

"Time is critical. Please vacate immediately."

Correction to my last post, the two do not stack, but overlap.
Here are the effects gained:
+4 Deflection AC
+4 Resistance on Saves
Lesser Glove of Invulnerability
Magic Circle Against Evil
Protects against Possession and Mental dominance
25 SR vs Evil spells and spells cast by Evil Creatures
If attacked by an Evil creature, offending attacker is Blinded (Fort DC24

No save for myself from immunity, no +4 from Deva for anyone because it's not evil...Disappoint.
Deva's Fort DC23: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23 BARELY made it because of Augment Summoning

"Limit casting, spells are ineffective." he speaks more calmly than he should, given the situation. Not only that, but he also begins casting another spell immediately, his hands pressed together exactly like in the hallway earlier.
DC23 Spellcraft to identify the spell as Summon Monster VIII

The Deva nods to Query, speaking loudly in a voice as clear as sunshine: "Understood." His voice rings in your ears beautifully, and every member of the party begins to glow a golden hue momentarily. Immediately after, he takes a step forward to the nearest Grisgol, drawing the mighty hammer from his side.
Holy Aura goes up, stacks with the constant aura from the Deva.

You auto-fail saves on a natural roll of a 1, no matter what your modifier is.
Kn. Arcana: 1d20 + 47 ⇒ (2) + 47 = 49
Damn, only a two?

Perception: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28
"Guardians are present as predicted. Prepare to defend."
Though he tells you to prepare, he stands there just as he was before: as relaxed-looking as a warforged can get.


Warforged Gestalt: Wiz 20 || Archivist Bard 10 / Loremaster 10

"Four-Hundred and Seventy Three since I have last entered. Unlikely that another entry has passed my notice."
He allows the others to advance in front of him to inspect if they wish, though he is most certainly on his guard.
Guardians do not appear to be present, perhaps disabled. thought processes ticked away at many possibilities for what could have happened to the things he knew were supposed to be here.


Warforged Gestalt: Wiz 20 || Archivist Bard 10 / Loremaster 10

"Prepare yourselves, I must also. Please wait."
He immediately presses his hands together, parting them after a moment with a flash of light and a booming voice: "IUBAR PERVENIT"
The room glows brightly and a second later, an impossibly tall and dark skinned human male forms out of the light. As the room darkens again, and the figure turns to Ori and Oneiro with a nod, you catch sight of feathery wings folded against his back and a glowing hammer in his hand.
"I am ready. Please follow me."
Query turns his back to you all and begins to walk down the hallway towards the destination, the angelic figure following close behind.

Summon Monster IX made permanent, summoned an Astral Deva. We're now all under the effect of his Protective Aura.

Protective Aura:

Protective Aura (Su) Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the angel. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level equals angel's HD). The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in an angel's statistics block.

The sunken eyes flashed for a quick moment before he nodded his head towards Oneiro.
"I know this book. Guardians keep it from thieves hands..."
It was rather obvious that he had something further to say, but was reluctant to do so.
"I will guide you to them." he said firmly, taking to his feet again before raising one hand and turning ninety degrees to point down the hallway behind him.


Warforged Gestalt: Wiz 20 || Archivist Bard 10 / Loremaster 10

She worries. I am not understood, I must adjust.
He drops to a knee, now forced to look up to meet Ori's eye, an elbow resting on his bent knee.
"What is the book? It is here or it is not, I will know."
His voice hasn't seemed to have any discernible emotion behind it before, it was simply words being spoken. Now there is an obvious sense of curiosity...As if interaction was something alien to him.
"After I answer and assist...I would have knowledge from you."


Warforged Gestalt: Wiz 20 || Archivist Bard 10 / Loremaster 10

Not all know all, I must adjust.
He takes a step forward, his frame towering over the mage's as he stretches his arms forward, palms up. He hoped that this show of no harmful intent was understood.
"You enter a place untouched for centuries. Why have you entered? Do you seek something unattainable outside?"
Though he was certainly not this place's guardian, he felt as if this place was home...a place for him to remain forever uninterrupted in his thoughts.


Warforged Gestalt: Wiz 20 || Archivist Bard 10 / Loremaster 10

Assuming common, correct me if I'm wrong :o
"Query. Who, why?" he repeated himself, this time in Common since it was the language that the intruder spoke in.
Both hands remained motionless at his side, though his sunken eyes were aimed directly at Ori. His body was only faintly lit by the lantern: Blue tinged metal made up most of his body, where it wasn't wood and stone, and etchings covered nearly every inch of it. With each flicker of the light, the etchings glittered all different colors of the spectrum.

Vines creaked and dust fell, as his once-in-a-century 'exercise' came upon him. The noise above was hardly worthy of note, but it did prompt him to ensure that his basic functions weren't shot from the idling. A short walk to the opposite side of the cramped twenty-foot room he was in reassured him that movement was still within his ability.
A marking on his forehead shimmered as he came close to the wall, the same marking responding to his presence, and words found themselves in his mouth without thought: "Lego". He only barely paid thought to the fact that the words were more than just a check of his speech function.

Speech...I will find the source.
This was most certainly not something to ignore. The symbol in his forehead ceased its glowing, and he leans forward to touch three fingers to the wall. "Per tenebras." His entire body seems to melt into black and he 'falls into' the wall.
I have found it.
Moments later, his form reshapes and recolors itself several yards behind the wandering paper-mages.
"Query. Who, why?" he speaks in Draconic, voice echoing clearly through the hallways.

Spells were Read Magic and Shadow Step, in case that's something of note.
