won't spend anything just yet. i can pm you my expedition manager boon or take a photo if you'd like.

woot

nagini can finally try and strike.
+1 bite: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 191d4 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

dunno if its a hit.
Pentor will help people getting potions and stuff, takes the bag from turk with a move action, and takes a move action to take out the next potion/oil ?

no crit, sadness. plus even magic weapons just deal 1/2 damage to incorporeal.

mage armor on nagini too , then move next to turk .
Nagini has to double move to get into position to attack. if its got reach she probably draws an AoO. incorporeal touch ac 15.

Oh boy.

Pentor pulls out his mage armor wand and hits himself to try and raise his incorporeal touch AC by 4. and 5 ft steps around the corner, muttering about numbingly cold negative energy.

Nagini has to squeeze to move up, armed with magic fang she's better equipped to hit the creature, but all she can do this round is move up.

yes presumed i went through the yellow line. adjust me on map if i hit a dead end w/o realizing.

Are you trying to draw the creature to you ? , Pentor asks quizzically.

well, i wasssn't suggesting we engage it.. but perhapsss it too is illusssory

we don't have message up, do we?

Pentor backs out of the corridor, Some beast stalks that hall too, maybe an illusion, maybe real. either way its heading the same way Turk went...

Pentor double moves to try and catch up to Turk and warn him the ... thing... is going that way. and will Hiss to call Nagini with me.

int : 1d20 ⇒ 14
will : 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
wall percentage if applicable: 1d100 ⇒ 18

i'll go peek behind the walls, starting with the one by gronk, telling nagini to stay on her guard.

Ooh, good idea.
pentor casts detect magic

spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

meh, i find it eassier to spot the differensses

Yesss, thisss places messess with the mind.

Pentor can cast it from your wand, he'll do the casting, just mark off the charges / dice rolls.

Scent help? Can I get nagini to ferret out the way we came ?

int: 1d20 ⇒ 20

I command Nagini to attack them while climbing on the wall above Gronk and Valais, squeezing taking the -4 to attack , AC and saves and half speed. so its a double move to move up into position above Valais.

Pentor will step up to the corner, and start a full round action. spontaneously converting mirror image into summon nature's ally 2. which will complete next round.

Far be it from meee to get in the way of true destructive force, but i doubt this will be useful against a demon, so i'll try it on these creatures.

Pentor fires a fireball around the corner, a blast of heat coming within inches of Gronk's face.

Nagini and I move to the other side of the hall to allow others to move up and act.

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
i'll cast barkskin on nagini and begin to head out with the group.

does anyone know if demon larvae or whatever are impervious to fire?

wis: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

kk, he joins the rest in trying to decipher and help.
Perhapps... it is a water demon he is working with? maybe that clawed trail is the path the demon uses to arrive here, and it brings water with it when it enters? we should try and seal that room off and get out of here.

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

(Octopus I guess then)

I can't fit through e crack as a small invertebrate can I ? Lol.
If not, he'll report back, and use his tentacles to scratch out a message in mud/dirt/or with a pen. In case they send him back in.

ooh. it tinglesssss

can i see down , whether i'll need strength or speed? i can either go small octopus or monitor lizard , both will give a swim speed 30 .

I'll probably go monitor lizard...

i'm poorly prepared for healing ( gm credit character mostly ), and would appreciate any to recover the 4 i'm down. I don't think nagini was damaged yet but i might have missed some.

Ya, nagini has a swim speed, but shes just a trained snake.
Hmmh. What if i shape shift to a medium water reptile or a dolphin with swim and better breathing control ? Ive not used my wild shape yet today iirc.

Failing that, untrained bluff assist
bluff: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17

Nagini and Pentor were both going wading in the water looking around, after Pentor helps with what he can in the study. Can the checks be retried with additional time spent studying the books?

Pentor listens at the door and examines it for any traps.
perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

after trying to help in the study, pentor and nagini will have a through look in the presumably empty flooded chamber.

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

since now seems to be the time to investigate then:
DC 20 heal.
DC 16 k. arcana ( or successful aid if allowed )

hmmmm. Perhappppssss it would be better to study these and go carefully. something we find out here may illuminate what was going on here, and give us a more educated guess on what went wrong.... if no one objectssss i will study some of the textsss in the room. While some of us do that, othersss can look at the exchange in abyssal and try to make out what its saying

if there's no objections he'll sit down and start reading in the library. there's plenty of time to interrupt him if they object. after half hour of reading: (it may go faster if some others help with the research... )

30 minutes later wrote:

research@heal: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
research@arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

it did sound like the demon is going to make its way here now... we are probably short on time, I hope we do not regret skipping those rooms soon...

we don't have half an hour with a Glabrezu on the way... whatever that is, it sounds dangerous. Turk, you recognize it. what can you tell us of Glabrezus? Glabrezi?

Maybe we have time to explore the muck filled chamber and get out before the creature arrives.

nagini charges in and bites it
bite,pa: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 2 = 191d4 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 think that misses iirc

Pentor will hang back since there's nothing he can do and rather not be on the floor if the chain snaps.

Hissss!
Pentor commands Nagini to attack. she scrunches up . and climbs along the wall towards the ... imp thing...
so nagini is 15 ft. up , climbing.

Pentor moves down to the ground level and goes full defensive.
AC 29, touch 15

Pentor casts longstrider on himself, and start to move up.
I hope this won't hurt too much.

:: pokes gm :: Valais is up, 'den de enemies

was wondering... :)

Pentor hissses at Nagini to heel so she stays out of the way
Mephits? what are these things? I guesss its obvious that fire is usssselesss on them.
Pentor casts a magic missile at the "red fling" ? [magic missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 1) + 3 = 9 force ]

I don't know why, but i have a fear that its going to pour down on ussss if we go to the doors, or dump us in if we go to look....

Pentor hangs back, wrapped in a bit of paranoia as the others look around.
Hissssss

he sends Nagini to scout the ground level down the stairs using the scout trick

oh this doesn't look good...

does it seem... stable? perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

Yeah. Sorry about that, at least I'm reasonably sure the hall with the abyssal... larvae? wasss it? issss clear.

in singsong lissssp
it might dessstroy some valuable information if we dooo. But if some of you wait in the other hall where Valais is and we lure it past the hall opening, more of you can ssssurround it

oh. it just occurred to me that the end of round 1 people and the start of round 2 people are all up. so ... Pentor does his thing now. and moves his snake out of the way. Gronk or Random can move up to actually attack.

I'll get Nagini out of there so you all can get a better shot at it.
hisses command, ineffective until my turn

woot. rage and inspire courage? nice.
Fire works... hmmh. I don't feel like using a fireball yet... slash and slice it boys and girls!

druid cheer

can Nagini accept your rage? or would that be a trick / require pushing my animal companion?

A look of horror crosses Pentor's face as he sees the maw swallow my little pony whole
it has scales, perhaps we should leave it in peace until we need to cross that area. I'd feel much less comfortable sending Nagini to grapple such a .. a.. monstrocity. What on Goliarion is that thing?

if i can see down the hall a bit with a 5 ft step, I'll use my move action to push, and then ready to drop a flaming sphere on it if that enemy moves out of the water onto the stairs up towards us , as long as there's a clear space not occupied by a friendly. [DC 18 negates. 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 5) = 16 fire ]. Otherwise i'll move and ready and not push Nagini this round.

it has no scales! it can work no magic! it's life has no meaning. , Pentor says in a monotone whisper.

Ahh right the elixir. sure, i'll come back to this later.
sets down his books

i'll refer back to that post when making my checks later.
I'll cast detect magic and get a view at the cases or a little bit down the hall.

I don't know what those larvae do, but are we sure the'll remain contained and that this isn't a trap for interloperssss? I'd just like to summon a critter to walk the hall and trigger it, if it is going to happen, just so it doesn't trigger on us. If nothing happens I should have enough time to test the critter by getting it to go into the ranssssid water as well.

begins spontaneously casting Summon Nature's Ally I , losing his prepared mage armor, to summon a pony. it appears in front of Gronk, i command it to go walk to the end of the hallway and back. if nothing happens, i send it into the water room.

hmmmm. Perhappppssss it would be better to study these and go carefully. something we find out here may illuminate what was going on here, and give us a more educated guess on what went wrong.... if no one objectssss i will study some of the textsss in the room. While some of us do that, othersss can look at the exchange in abyssal and try to make out what its saying

if there's no objections he'll sit down and start reading in the library. there's plenty of time to interrupt him if they object. after half hour of reading: (it may go faster if some others help with the research... )

more than a round of stuff, but we're not in init.

Pentor take out my wand of mage armor. looks like this area is getting dangerous, and tap Nagini with mage armor and cast greater magic fang on her. then hissssss at her to guard the passage behind us while squeezing and leave a pebble with light cast on it by her.

Then coming up alongside Shamak to listen at the doors.
perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

heal: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
I try and disseminate the information learned in terms everyone can grasp.

initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

nope didn't make it out. is it like regular negative energy? will save for half?
will save for half?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

was the heal to know what was going on with him? or to try and help him?

Ssssshame.
he'll try to cast stabilize on the elf.

I sssshould have asked earlier. Does anybody possssessss a wand of curing?

heal: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

since he's already over there on the map and he heard something and thinks there's no trap, he'll check everyone is ready then go full defensive and open the door.
