Hanzou and Brice have the feeling of being thrown up incredibly fast through the light. wind rushing around you but it is quiet. As if the sound is very far off, but getting closer as you race toward it.
Then suddenly there is a floor green marble floor inlaid with a lattice of golden metal and you land on it hard enough to stumble. Both of you are alone in separate 20' circular rooms. Looking around you see that you are in towers. The windows are covered in a golden looking latticework that gives off a soft light that illuminates the room and a single staircase leading up out of the room.
Beyond the window you see tentacles as something massive and terrifying pulls itself up the tower. far below it are the chants and war cries of warriors fighting. The tower is part of what looks like a massive fortress raising into the smoke the fills the sky around the massive beast. below you see massive shapes forming and raising along the side of the towers.
Looking up you see the ceilings are all woven metal latticework. It only hold shards of glass the rest of it is covering the floor
What do you do?
Looking around the tiefling and imp look at each other briefly and shrug. As Brice begins to walk around the room he digs through his pack and drinks his mutegen, I guess now is as good of a time as any to use this he says to no one in particular. Digging through his pack again he pulls out a potion but his time holds it in his hand as he spends a minute inspecting the room with his imp in tow, whistling an eerie tune.
After he has ascertained as much information as he can about the structure, tentacles, and anything else he sees in the minute he looked around he proceeds up the stairs and drinks his potion. Well Brice Jr., I guess its time to go kill some stuff... what a shame we can't spend more time here and study this exquisite place in more detail. To which the imp simply shouts back, I CAN'T HEAR YOU, MY EARPLUGS ARE IN! And without even acknowledge his companion, possible because he couldn't hear him either, he grabs an Alchemist's Fire and an Acid Flask from his bag and continues moving into the unknown.
make a planar knowledge roll, make a history knowledge roll...
Edit: I really hope these are my only two bad rolls, and thankfully you can't auto fail a skill check so my 25 might still net me some useful info.
Brice looks around his surroundings tastes the air and it has a peculiar texture that has nothing to do with the smoke and dust in the air. It's as if your senses aren't quite aligned to the tastes. Even the feel of weight and time seem to be different. Then he thinks back on the trip which was a form of dimensional door. It took a really long time to get from one side of it to here. This place must must be one of the far realms. A plane very far removed from your own and quite possibly on the other side of the multiverse. This plane, where ever it is, does not align to your own and although you are in no danger from the air not working or some other nastiness it definitely means your magic may have unseen consequences and the native magic may behave differently.
He looks out at the sky and thinks back on the journey and this new insight. The first thing is Boi. Although the Herald claims to be a herald of a trickster god named Boi, which you have never heard of, his magic and how it felt seems like this place. So it is very possible that they came from this plane or one very close to it.
Then your blood runs cold as you really look outside. The sun. poking through the clouds and smoke is a sun like you have never seen before. it is larger than your own sun and could easily be ignored at first but has a quality about it that it seems to flicker and then it hits you. it isn't a star but some manifestation of the plane of fire to give light to this far realm and made to act as a sun. And the last thing is the massive tentacled horror has no real form to it. it is just darkness given life and like the sun may be a living piece of the plane of shadows. Who ever lives on this world wield magics on a scale never imagined in the prime material plane. They must pull world sized masses from their native planes to bring here to decorate their sky or to do battle with. This is truly a plane of god like magic.
yes they would. maybe i explained it wrong. there are some properties that are different here. the problem is that you don't know which. Unless you happen to use a property that is effected you may not see it. Just so you don't go drinking up all your potions and spells.

Brice drinks his potions but nothing unusual happens.
Your mutagen is providing a bonus to what, and a negative to what?

Hanzou would quietly observe the interior of the room for threats while he silently pulled a potion from his handy haversack and pulled the cork out with his teeth before guzzling down the invisibility potion .
Once finished and seeing no immediate threat in his tower, he would allow the cork and empty bottle to fall to the floor.
Brice and his Imp continue forward exploring the tower further.
the map does not record your position. use it to figure out your locations. then write where you are moving to here in this thread
Alone except of the breaking glass and faint sounds of battle down in the darkness. It takes you a few minutes to reach the top.
The heralds voice echos. "To advance you must defeat your opponent. Only blood will open the gate."
His voice fades with the sound of a chuckle.
Both of you emerge from the archway and see a round room over 100 feet across. the ceiling is a lattice of golden metal 30 feet above you held up by pillars of marble. The flickering of the setting sun bathes the room in long shadows behind the pillars. The entire ceiling seems to have held glass but it is now covering the floor. Trees, 10 foot tall, grow in the scattered bits of earth that cover parts of the floor. In the center of the room is a pool of water with a statue of a woman that is 15' high. they remind you of a fountain although no water is coming out of the statue.
Across from both of you is another archway with a gate. The gate is closed but you can see it leads to another staircase going up.
To your side is another archway but the pillars and trees obscure your view of it. You can't see anyone from this position.
As he wound up the stairs, Hanzou would pull a bag of dust from his handy haversack and keep his trusty wakizashi in his other hand.
Hanzu you are at A. Brice you are at B
Hanzou would move stealthily to E6 to take cover behind the pillar, while searching the room for any sign of his opponent.
Add another 20 if unable to see invisibility.
Upon hearing the voice declare that battle has begun, Brice nods at his companion and then steps back and enters his combat stance . He then hunches over and moves behind a near by pillar and attempts to hide while giving a quick glance around . While Brice went for cover his companion goes invisible and then moves forward silently .
Add another 20 if unable to see invisibility.
Silently Hanzou would continue to move from area to area while looking for any sign of his opponent.
+20 if incapable of seeing invisibility.
Edit: He did move there to use the tree as cover.
While behind the pillar, Brice digs through his pack and retrieves and drinks potion of invisibility and then attempts to conceal himself. The Imp continues his movment until he is in the center of the room directly above the water and begins to concentrate in the direction of the other door way, attempting to find anyone wearing magic items.
+20 if you cannot see invisibility.
+20 if you cannot see invisibility.
Hanzou would move back to C9 to maintain his cover after continuing his search for foes.
+20 if unable to perceive invisibility.
the void from the shore to the tower. then it is 300 feet up the stairs to the tower you fight in...30ft a round. 10 rounds = 1 minute.
Then I still have over 30 rounds of Invisibility left from the potion. I'll calculate it out and include it in my next post.
Brice remains hidden, awaiting word from his familiar where the enemy is. The imp continues to concentrate in the same direction unless he didn't pick up the presence of any aura in which case he will shift his attention to the right.
+20 if you can't see invisibility
+20 if you can't see invisibility
Still having no clue where his enemy lies, Hanzou would continue his current approach by silently moving behind another pillar (C13) and searching for any sign of his enemy.
+20 if unable to perceive invisibility.
Brice sneaks around to the other side of the pillar and sits and waits for a sign of movement. The familiar flies to the top of the ceiling becomes visible and begins to shout obnoxiously.
+20 if you can't see invisibility
Yes that would identify the imp easily
I trust you. Its your turn.
Recognizing the creature and the complications of being able to sneak to such an area without some type of assistance, Hanzou would start to prepare himself to cast a spell that would allow him to see Invisible creatures. He did this by sheathing his trusty Wakizashi. During this time, he continued his circling of the room by stealthily moving behind the next pillar. (D16)
+20 if unable to perceive invisibility.

Brice looking around the room waiting for an attack to target his Imp is surprised when nothing happens, Hmm, smart and sneaky he mumbles to himself. Brice digs through his pack and pulls out an extract of See Invisibility and drinks it . He then unfirls large leathery wings and flies to the center of the room below his Imp . The Imp continues to act like a fool.
Finally ready, Hanzou would attempt to cast his spell in a manner so that the imp's yelling would cover its verbal semantics. Once done, he would take a glance about to see if anything new registered.
Certainly enough a winged man showed up next to the obnoxious imp.
The Imp continues his antics while Brice Scan's the room, waiting to identify his enemy .
Seeing the flying man was looking about rather studiously, Hanzou would dump the dust upon himself before shouting, "Shut up you damned monster." He would keep an eye on his targets as he tried to trick them into moving over to him.

So can I get an approximate idea of his location Chaiboy?
Edit: I'm assuming my Imp has a general idea of your approximate location but I will wait until Joshua or Chaiboy agrees or disagrees.
Hearing the general location of the shout the Imp stops and starts screaming THERE, THERE, THERE as he franticly points. Brice grows serious and flies swiftly forward (G12) , drops the alchemist's fire , and prepares and throws a stink bomb in the general direction of the pointing .
Added in a -2 for range increment. Attacking a 5 AC.
Ref 25 for half, Fort 25 to avoid being nauseated.
If you fail the fort save your are nauseated for the previous duration.
