fire damage:
The heat billowing inward towards the tentacles do not appear to affect the creatures at all.
Well, if we should gain a level in the next few days, I will be able to cast Raise Dead. It will take 7000 worth of crushed diamonds to raise Krenn and restore his levels.
The two tentacles pass through the fire, burned slightly from the flames and attack the Shoanti, but the other two remain stunned and two new ones burst out from the water in the centre of the ring of fire.
attack 1:
damage:
attack 2:
damage:
The Shoanti that came with Trinia continue their fight with the two tentacles at the west end of the pool.
CMB:
The Shoanti manages to break out of the bonds and grins to his companion at his burst of energy to break out of that.
The other turns and casts magic on his companion
CMW:
Trinia moves forward and fires an arrow at the Ocular tentacle which sticks in the creature, but it doesn't appear to have penetraited deep enough and falls off.
attack:
damage:
Let's retreat, these tentacles will keep coming up!
He repeats this in Shoanti.
Everyone to me, if you want to get the hell out of hear with magic!
Move over next to Krenn, ready an action to dimension door to just beyond Trinia with everyone, including Krenn, that is next to me.
Jerin is right. Everybody out- now.
Llyra moves next to Jerin prepared to jump out of the area.
Asyra makes her way ahead of her master towards the side passage, but waits in it for him so that she knows he's alive.
The Sheep goes Baa and continues to search the ground for any grass or weeds to gnaw at.
Round 5
Order:
Llyra Bjorgan
S
Curnach Daveck
Shadowcount Sial
Krenn Whetstone
Laori Vaus
H
Jerinthian Kos
Asyra
Red Mantis Assassins
Llyra moves to beside Jerin and Krojun runs out of the room, weapons out and ready to face the creature's tentacles.
Curnach takes a side passage to get over to Trinia as fast as he can.
Sial moves along the side passage next to his bodyguard and protector, looking out the holes to see the two tentacles that are currently in combat with the Shoanti that were left with Trinia.
Laori also makes her way as a retreat back to Trinia and Curnach.
The two tentacles to the east move through the flames to attack the Shoanti as two more emerge from where they just were.
The fire manages to cause a slight burn, but not much as most of the flames seem to be ineffective against these appendages.
attack 1:
damage:
attack 2:
Krojun takes a nasty scratch from one of these things, but his warriors are unharmed by the creatures.
One of the shoanti continues fighting out of the creature's grasp.
CMB:
CMB:
Constrict:
The shoanti doesn't manage to break the grapple, but remains grappled and grappled again, constricting on him and causing him pain and you hear a loud crack as it appears to have broken the bones in the warrior and lets his useless and lifeless body fall into the water.
The other tentacle continues to attack the spiritual ally whilst the final of the escorts runs back to Trinia, who goes with him to the exit.
As soon as they get next to me my readied action goes off to dimension door us out into the hallway, well out of their reach but where we can see them.
It has been a while, I would have sliced the sheep once to make sure that no assassins reappeared. (At least I believe the sheep was once an assassin. Then be with Jerin and ready to teleport.
Curnach's command ot stone manages to keep the creature's back, but it didn't stop their attacks as they have one hell of a reach
Jerin creates a door that swallows him, Krenn and Llyra and dumps them out in the hallway, close to Trinia and out of the creature's reach.
Asyra delays to move with Sial as they would both like ot get out of this together.
I will assist anyone I can to get out and away from the creature. Not much else I can do at this point.
Once outside, the weather has calmed and Krojun speaks to the group with Trinia translating:
"You tshamek have shown bravery, but why were you here? It is cursed and filled with dangers." he looks back to his men who are taking their time to mend their wounds and look back at the PC's, narrowing his gaze. "Why have you come to our lands, tshamek?"
We could always use THESE ROLLS that I got in another campaign.

Or even This Table.
Don't forget that Jerin also speaks Shoanti.
We came here looking for your people's help Krojun. A great evil is rising, stirring from it's slumber that threatens all of our people. We will need to work together in order to defeat it.
I have the Spherewalker's Mark Krojun and wish to go to the House of the moon at the North-easternmost edge of the Wyvern Mountains to speak with a Truthspeaker there. I believe the Spherewalker also wants your people to help us.
Can you and your warriors lead us there? It would be an honor to ride with you.
I show him the glowing butterfly on my hand.

Krojun snorts at the explaination.
"You are no better than those stargazing Lyrune-Quah!" he laughs at the idea of wanting to talk to the Truthspeaker and even more so at the idea of speaking to the Sun Shaman. "Such a thing is impossible. They have nothing to say to a tshamek. Especially the Sun Shaman of the great Sklar-Quah"
He pounds his chest as do his men at the mention of his tribe's name. He turns to his men and then points to the distance for them to travel. He looks to Jerin and narrows his eyes.
"You may speak our language, but you are still a tshamek and you will always be a tshamek until you can prove to us you are not like the monster that hunts us or those who take my people as slaves." he states harshly with some tone in his voice at the last part before departing.
Once he is out of earshot, Oh we will Krojun, we will...
He looks down at Krenn sadly, What do we do about Krenn? We can't leave him like this. Do I teleport back to Korvosa and get what we need or do we try to reincarnate him?
Curnach?
As soon as time permits, Curnach will cast Reincarnate on Krenn's body. He will do this in solitude, not entirely comfortable using the powerful magic with others close by.
As Krenn's soul entered the newly created Half-Orc's body, Curnach was there with a soothing voice to welcome him back to the world of the living.
I know your condition must be a shock Krenn... But you are still needed in the struggle. I am sure your not ready to lay down arms just yet?
Yup, I can cast Restoration. I do not have 1000 gp of diamond dust, although that can easily be acquired from any major city with teleportation. Or, Jerin may have enough since he likes to cast Stoneskin which also requires diamond dust.
Jerin at first has a hard time with the new Krenn but then shrugs and welcomes him back to the living, When we stop for today I will jump over to Magnimar and gather the needed materials. I will have to rest there overnight and then teleport back in the morning. We will have you feeling better by tomorrow Krenn.
Llyra looks at the new, larger, more orcish, Krenn. Welcome back big man. I think that now you have one more reason for revenge.
Magnimar being as big as it is no one takes too much notice of Krenn, however in the market places certain stall owners do stare at him a bit more than what's needed.
Probably just me and Curnach. We gather the needed materials for re-incarnate and then come back unless someone has a specific request?
We can sell these first, these are the sell prices:
Bottle of Air sell 3750
Decanter of Endless Water 4500gp
sustaining spoon (with an abnormally spicy taste) 2250 (although we may want to keep this one)
Two scrolls of Clairvoyance 187.5 ea
Two scrolls of Sending 562.5 ea
Two scrolls of Dimension Door 375ea
Gonna need 2k of diamond dust for the restoration, although Jerin may have that for his Stoneskin spells.
As stated in the past you'll be able to get whatever items you are after.
Whilst spending time at the market you hear news that Korovsa has cut itself off from the world. Merchants that were supposed to deliver their stock have wound up here, creating a influx of merchants and causing fights to break out over selling their stock before moving on, especially those who were transporting spell components to the achadamae and now need to unload it all in order to make sure they can contiue their journey to Cheliax's Egorian Achademy.
There are many stories circulating around what might be going on there with Tales of Demons roaming the streets and devouring children and the poor. Stories that the queen is really a succubus and is attempting to open a new worldwound. There are stories that she had been killed the same night as the King and a creature took her appearance to assume the throne whilst others believe. Has become a God and is biding her time before enslaving everyone.
More and wilder romours reach your ears, even suggestions that Blackjack is in the city as a vigilante has been spotted, saving people and cutting down the Gray Maidens. This mystery figure has been using a longsword, wears a mask and has been known to hurl spells to confuse opponents.
Jerin uses the other 750gp to purchase spell materials so he can scribe a few more spells while they ride. This includes buying another 250gp in diamond dust.
Krenn, we enter any more dangerous places and you will be better protected this time! he assures the now half orc.
Let's ride to the Truthspeekers camp as quickly as we can while I have the mark.
Sial, before you left for Magnimar, has suggested their alliance should last longer as he feels these matters are tied to the interest in the church of Zon-Kuthon and if you don't object, he's like to accompany you as an observer. In return he offers you personal chambers in his personal portable fortress, the Bone House, as a place to rest of they needed and also offers his services as a spellcaster. He has also sent away Laori for matters involving the Church.
You all recall that Thousand Bones had mentioned that the Lyrune-Quah have spent this part of the year camped near an ancient Desnan temple called House of the Moon or more commonly known as the Moon Ruin.
Unlike most ruins in Varisia, this one was not built by the Thassilonians and the woreship of Desna has dated back further than Thassilon. Before the minions of the First King Xin arrived in the region, the Varisians were already dwelling here. In those ancient times they were all nomadic and they also worshipped Desna.
As the Thassilon civilisation rose, the runelords saw open worship of the gods as a distraction and destroyed most of the Desnan shines that dotted the land, the house of the moon was no exception. However, when the Thassilonians fell and the Age of Darkness rose, this mysterious building reappeared on the site of one of the most destroyed shrines and it gave the people who would become the Lyrune-Quah a place of shelter in that deadly age and today is has become one of the anchors of their cultures.
