Totally understandable - for my part I hugely enjoyed Vhaezil and hope to resurrect him again down the line.

Was a hoot and a macabre dungeon - will defo source the source.

Keep me in mind for any think tank to run chief - you know I'd be keen.

@All: Thanks for putting up with the snottiest characters I've ran - you're collective reactions and tolerance made it all the more fun.

Ok - so we cannot get back to the books that contain the lore we need? If so it effectively makes the trials thus far moot. Vhaezil could seek to petition his... infernal benefactors to assist... but would likely do this once we're out and free.

(Yup - believe that's the plan - as per Lichen above. I'm a bit wholly on where the secure position is though :S

Vhaezil picks up his pace;

"I suggest we make haste. This structure has come undone, but we can ill afford to lose its treasures..."

Vhaezil keeps his baleful gaze focussed on the downed halfling as he moves back toward the library;

"Someone grab Master Quickhand... There is little else here for us save madness and corruption to those unclaimed. I would advocate we return to the library, collected the tomes therein and depart this fell place."

As he speaks, the infernal scrivener picks up the pace of his words and steps alike...

I'm not too fussed with the PVP - think it was in keeping with the warped nature of the Duvan'Ku - the very fabric of the place is tainting some of us.

Apologies - I totally missed that the books we'd discovered would lead to enlightenment of the delve's location.

Reckon we grab the valuable books, shield artifact and Zask (in that order ;) and skedaddle?

Think of the game as a slow burn (of hellish flame lol) - think the character's are great and plot is intriguing.

Have a feeling it will likely go Indiana-Jones self-destruct once we initiate something, but regardless we are trying to find clues to where Dolgrin's hereditary delve is.

Vhaezil reels as the diminutive monk slaps him backwards.

"You dare..."

The infernal scrivener's eyes flare in indignant anger as he pulls forth his scroll;

"Cavete a verbis eum qui non cogere! HALT!"

Infernal:

"Heed the words of he who will compel you!"

Casts Command - DC14 WIS saving throw required. If fails the target doesn't move and takes no Actions.

Apologies - thought I'd posted a retort. Now as I've established that Vhaezil was saving the artefact - it may well fall on the rest of you to save the lemming halfling from a repeat attempt...

Vhaezil continues to grapple the shield upon Zask's back;

Athletics Check: 1d20 ⇒ 10

He shouts to his companions for aid in controlling the self-destructive monk;

"He continues to be compelled to throw himself into the pit and my iron grip wanes! Assist me in securing him while I recover the bulwark!"

Ahhh. Athletics - the forte of the infernal bookish smart-guy party leader types..

Athletics DC15 (aka Forlorn Hope): 1d20 ⇒ 20 BOOM!

As he sees the priceless artefact disappear strapped to the back of the perplexed halfling, Vhaezil is uncharacteristically spurned into action;

"No! We cannot lose the bulwark!"

When Dolgrin fails to grab the plummeting monk, it falls to the scrivener who launches himself at the edge - grabbing the shield upon Zask's back with a steely grip reserved for his ink quill!

"I HAVE SAVED IT!"

Gang - wee heads up - work hammer is swinging hard this week. Bunch of offshore ops have converged for kickoff o'er the next 7-10 days which means I'm having to do a bunch of pre-job work and scheduling in the run up.

Between prepping rental kit packages, client meetings and getting my offshore teams readied, my heads frankly mince.

Bear with - posting opportunities might be fleeting, and content basic until later in the week.

Interested to see who you return with!

Apologies gang - been tardy in my posting here of late

Vhaezil follows the others, casts a wistful look toward the massive tome, that while full of macabre knowledge would likely not further their quest.

As they enter the pit room, the scribe's infernal gaze continues to glow balefully as he reads the translation of the Duvan'Ku words aloud in his soft, flat tone;

" - I Will Drown In Black and Await The End of All Things."

He mulls the words, allowing them to settle upon the group before offering his insight;

"What do I make of this indeed Master Quickhand... A threat? A promise? Instructions perhaps..."

@Zask: Fool of a Took!

Deep in thought, he fails to register Zask's intent until too late...

Vhaezil smugly watches as the creature is rent apart from his infernal magics...

CON Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

... the sight of the filth and its pustilous demise doing nothing to move the sneer from his cowl.

"Not a damnable abomination Master Shieldarm. Just one that could not withstand the power of those damned...

His infernal gaze flicks toward Zask as he emphasises his final work, before flaring like a furnace as takes in the ornate book and its inscription;

"This complex. I never suspected it held so many treasures of knowledge... Touch nothing until I deem it safe to do otherwise."

Vhaezil's gaze flares as he takes in the creature's potent abilities.

Deciding that a ranged engagement is for the best, he unfurls the tatter of infernal parchment, then points at the misshapen abomination;

"Eldritch summa industria, acri carpere potentiam tuam, et gloriam meam!"

Hellishly Powerful Words:

"Energy most eldritch, scour my foes with thine power!"

Vhaezil cocks his cowled head for a second, then eyes Zask with an impassive expression;

"If the creatures song had meaning then my magicks would decipher its lyrical meaning. Alas it has none I can discern.."

His eyes blaze with infernal flame as he watches the creature;

"Its countenance, however, is one familiar to us - having seen its face upon murals and upon a pendant we recovered. It was once a man, ritually transformed... though for what purpose?"

The hellbound scribe pauses;

"Act Master Quickhand. The creature's reaction will tell us much."

Vhaezil watches the creature, his infernal eyes flashing hungrily;

"Truly fascinating... Hold from any brash action that may impair the creature. I... We... need to know more of its purpose, and the information it way impart."

The infernal scrivener frowns, trying to discern the connection betwixt impaling of swords and this creature of song.

He summons an incarnation which may prove useful;

"Etsi autem Graeci eloquii explicare sermone, sit auris mea scis suum intelligere"

Infernal:

"Though they speak in tongues, let mine ear understand their ken."

Vhaezil's infernal gaze burns brightly as he takes in the countenance of the strange aberration before them;

Short rest, then onwards into the festering bowels of this fell place:)

The infernal scrivener takes time to read some cursory passages and rest, allowing his body to heal from the exploration and conflicts thus far.

Vhaezil will spend 1 HD: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 to take him back up to full HP

Vhaezil

"A sound strategem Master Shieldarm. Rest would benefit us all, and would allow me the opportunity to study these texts more fully. Mention of your ancestral hearth could be fleeting or perhaps a full account. We cannot afford to miss mention or clue within the Duvan'Ku's letters."

He returns his gaze back to the volumes, reverently lifting the first...

The pursuit of higher knowledge is never an easy mountain to ascend young grasshopper. Look to the intellectual beacon that burns bright amongst your company.. he will light your path :)

Vhaezil's own eyes glitter and flare at the library of fell tomes, he approaches them pouring over the covers and spinal inscriptions with a zealous hunger;

A multitude of knowledge. Of secrets..."

Of power

At Zask's words he blinks from his trace, shooting a look toward the halfling akin to a stern teacher chastising an unruly pupil;

"My eyes are neither crystalline nor rose tinted Master Quickhand. So the answer is no. Do they grant you sight beyond your normal vision?"

A rest here might be a good shout. Will allow us all a breather perhaps, while Vhaezil studies the tomes for any words on Dolgrin's delve.

The infernal scrivener pauses, wiping dust from one volume;

"These are Chronicles of the Church Master Shieldarm. All of them. I would wager the souls of Masters Quickhand and Lichen both that somewhere within these writings lies clues to your lost delve... but I will need time."

Vhaezil collects and covets the grimoire with blazing eyes;

"Fascinating. Truly. A treatise of some kind regarding homuncului. The knowledge contained is beyond the ken of most men, dwarves and halflings. Lucky for us all my superior intellect surpasses most."

He infernal gaze flicks his increasingly laden pack, now beginning to resemble a mobile library with books and scrolls lashed and stowed on its interior and exterior.

"Securing magical portage is also becoming a necessity. Brother Culdokk, an itinerant scholar who visited The Grand Library on a number of occasions, wrote a series of essays on such items. As a lay scrivener I devoured such knowledge so I could recount to those ignorant in such matters - like yourselves gentlemen."

The infernal scribe mulls his own words, then continues;

"However I digress... In his travels Culdokk described two such items; the magical Bag of Holding and Heward's Handy Haversack. Alas to have either of those to ease the burden of knowledge."

Reunited with his pack and collected tomes, Vhaezil shuffles to the portal, his gaze widening slightly as he witnesses Zask knock a tooth from his own mouth as an offering;

"A.. novel... improvisation to provide passage through this fell portal Master Quickhand. Rest assured any terrors beyond will have to contend with mine own infernal might..."

He unfurls the tattered scroll focus inscribed with symbols arcane and diabolic.

No worries chief.

Am guessing that GM-F's answer to the second quizzer from Dolgrin would be that we won't know until we open it?

We could get Manimal Lichen to batter at it, see if there is any corresponding noise from one of the unopened doors?

Vhaezil retrieves his bulky pack, checking over the contents meticulously should they have been tapered with in their collective absence.

With almost a tinge of regret in his soft voice, the scrivener taps the cover of the Duvan' Ku book they recovered;

"Ach. With the foresight that befits my breadth of knowledge I should have presented this tome to the risen one we encountered. She could have... unlocked potential with its covers. A treatise once read by old Master Candlewyk warned that, in keeping the company of those who are your intellectual inferiors, your own mental acumen and cerebration would be dulled. I fear he may have been right..."

Vhaezil eyes the gap, then the offered lift by Dolgrin;

"Alas flight is currently beyond my capabilities. One day perhaps I might soar on scale'd wings..."

At the dwur's advice he nods before accepting the heft upwards;

"Indeed. I would not wish to crush my cowl."

Not sure what kind of check you need from Vhaezil GM-Fang?

At Zask's doubting words the infernal scrivener merely offers a withering stare from his glowing eyes.

He leans in offering his own whispered retort;

Zask:

"My answer: What do I not know? Your question should be: What can I gain?"

He then mulls the athletic prowess required to escape before offering his own thoughts;

"Alas while I am an intellectual titan amongst our company, my physical capabilities are decidedly mortal. As such I will require assistance to escape, however I will not be manhandled like the cargo of rough handed stevedores. Bear this in mind gentlemen."

Vhaezil eyes the fallen undead, examining its form, nodding to himself as he does;

"It is as I thought. My infernal magicks sufficiently weakened the creature to allow your collective bludgeoning to down it... If we encounter more they too will fall in the same ilk."

The devil-bound sage rises and briefly surveys the chamber; Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8, before focussing on brushing dust from his robes and cowl.

@GMF: Been kindly pointed out to me that Hellish Rebuke is an instantaneous action vs creature that has damaged Vhaezil. Also my shoddy cut and paste above lists the undead as a bandit thug lol... Been a long week and my heads still frankly up my @rse.

If Hellish Rebuke is indeed a "reaction" action - then Vhaezil will also follow up with another Eldritch Blast...

As the creature taunts him, the infernal scrivener pauses to allow the flicker of a smirk to play across his angelic features.

Pointing at the undead he utters words of infernal power;

"Ad nocere operati sunt in infernum, de servo supplicium inferni detractos invitare et non tenens muto legit carne et anima."

Infernal:

"To wrought harm upon a servant of hell is to invite infernal retribution that scours flesh and soul both."

Vhaezil looks impassively at the creature upon its adroit challenge;

"True... I have the perfume of sulphur and infernal might about me creature. As for my master and my price... Alas I must maintain a modicum of enigma in such matters. You understand of course..."

Unfurling the tattered scroll, the scrivener points at the wretched undead;

"Eldritch summa industria, acri carpere potentiam tuam, et gloriam meam!"

Infernal Words of Power:

"Energy most eldritch, scour my foes with thine power!"

@GMF/All: Just a heads up that I'm under the hammer at work with a bunch of ongoing offshore operations (I'm in O&G here in Scotland) - couple that with the additional headache of an internal audit this week means my posting may be intermittent/on the fly/limited.

In short please bot me as necessary until normal service resumes towards the end of the week :)

Vhaezil's eyes balefully flash as Lichen drops to engage the undead.

He follows suit, dropping into the chamber;

Presume there is 1d6 Damage for the 10ft fall/drop unless we take time to secure a rope (which I don't think we have time for)? Are all of us dropping into the room Prone or is there a roll/check to avoid/mitigate the damage/prone condition??

@All: Had thought on trying to distract the creature with Minor Illusion to allow us a chance to enter and drop into combat... On Zask: Surely one must fall to rise anew ;)

@GMF: Am presuming given the tight fit of the vent that Vhaezil & Dolgrin needs Lichen to exit before they can continue?

Inside the vent Vhaezil hisses at Lichen;

"Wildman... You need to move so Master Shieldarm and I can fell this risen foe..."

At the creature's challenge the infernal scrivener smirks to himself and his baleful gaze flashes;

"Creature... That one's soul is in dispute. To claim it risks retribution from the Wyrm Queen herself..."

Ditto on Dolgrin's input: Not sure what Vhaezil needs to do/how far it is down the vent?

Free from the burden of his pack, Vhaezil stoops before entering the vent...

Believe crawling costs an extra +1 foot (outwith the additional potential factor of difficult terrain etc).

Once inside the infernal scrivener shuffles toward the sounds of halfling agony and torment...

Movement could be 15ft or 10ft depending on conditions etc

As Lichen's challenge echoes through the chamber, Vhaezil begins to unstrap his pack with a grimace;

"I fear we must engage the risen cadaver... the path now taken Master Shieldarm..."

He pauses as he readies himself;

"The creature spoke of other sleepers did it not? Perhaps the knowledge we seek will not be lost with the annihilation of this risen Duvan'Ku..."

Aye - knew you were lodged in mate - but thought it would require a manimalistic transmoglification by your good self to head in after him? If not they I'm baffled why we've not all just shimmied in...

@Lichen: I believe that Zask has been the only one able to wriggle into the tomb. He's awoken an undead, been dropped (and tortured by it) and we're now engaging in a parley with the risen wretch. If I'm reading everything right we cannot get to the chamber (humans too large) and are now trying to get the undead to tell us how to free it (there must be a way in). Hopefully all will be revealed and we'll rescue Zask before he rises as Deadhand... :S

Vhaezil listens intently, then eyes his dwarven companion;

"Unsullied by women... I believe I qualify for that distinction."

The scrivener's baleful stare glows fiercely;

"We need the knowledge on how to free it. Also for it to desist from actions against our halfling companion. Use me as a prize Master Shieldarm. Once we have mined its knowledge my infernal power will blast it from this mortal coil."

As things below them escalate, Vhaezil calmly looks to Dogrin;

"I would advise addressing the creature directly. Let it know that we seek the black wisdom of the Duvan'Ku... and the secrets they may hold..."

The scrivener holds the thought for a moment, then adds;

"Alas my own vocal delivery has no comparison to your own baritone voice Master Shieldarm. I'd wager the denizen that Master Quickhand has... awoken... will take notice should you bellow."

He almost smiles at his own capricious play on words to the smith, then holds, his infernal eyes glowing with anticipation...

Vhaezil shakes his head at Dolgrin's question, scowling as his infernal eyes glow balefully;

"I know not Master Shieldarm... Though if he has encountered a former denizen of this fell place I would advise he proceed with extreme caution."

He pauses in thought, then nods to himself;

"I have majicks that can discern the tongue which has been spoken. Can he bring this woman to us?"

Zask Quickhand wrote:

Zask mulls over the question before releasing a slight audible sigh,

"We shall find out."

Looking over the sarcophagus Zask leans into the push, attempting to remove the lid.

Curiosity killed the Zask.

Lol. You could of course just tell the immoral, self serving warlock where to stick his instructions!
