Back at Heidmarch Manor, the group decides to seek out Runeforge and its anti-Runelord weapons, before assaulting the Temple of the Peacock Spirit.
Chris T.:Hiya James
Victor Septimus:Hye buddy
Chris T.:Tough battle ahead
Victor Septimus:Yeah for sure
Rukvara:Hi all
Victor Septimus:sup man
Chris T.:Hiya James
Quillax:hello gents!
Chris T.:Hi Keelia
Rukvara:Hi Keelia
Chris T.:I'm going to suggest that Mal goes against them first if thats okay? I think she can at least draw their spark showers without harm to anyone else and maybe do a bit of damage from range..
Rukvara:ooo, turn order displaying
Quillax:Go for it - Q's almost a liability here, Giants look at her wrong and she falls over :(
Chris T.:Q can prepare our'back door' and we can wear them down.
Rukvara:Ruk will hold the line till we are ready to go
Chris T.:Rotating and healing as required.
Rukvara:I'm pretty sure they can
Chris T.:So if the others stay around the corner Mal can blast ';em and dray their spark shower.
Rukvara:this is Smn runnng them :P
Chris T.:I asked Simon a couple of times last session and asked for clarity during last week.
Rukvara:ah, k
Chris T.:That's why this cave is an ideal starting point.
Quillax:Q will make a path where I've drawn the orange lines. We'll retreat and regroup where I've drawn the red square if it goes badly.
Chris T.:Perfect
Simon N. (GM):hi all
Quillax:Hi Simon :)
Chris T.:Hi Simon
Rukvara:Hi smn
Chris T.:They don't know who is in the cave so if the others stay out of sight we may even get a few surprise hits on them.

Victor Septimus:I wanted to go down further, i don't know why we are in this little cave
Quillax:Oh, i forgot to pick Q's EBoon7
Victor Septimus:i certainly didn't put my character here
Chris T.:Because if you'd listened to my plan you would have been around the cornewr of the cave whilst Mal soaked thuis damage up
Victor Septimus:I didn't put my character here.
Simon N. (GM):I asked if you were ready to roll init and you then rolled init
Victor Septimus:I didn't know that is an option.

Victor Septimus:I understand the rules. It's just been a while since ive had to roll them
Simon N. (GM):#17 Quillax
Quillax:Q uses stone shift to open up a hole in the back wall and sends Clank and Librarian through.
Simon N. (GM):stone shape?
Quillax:Yes, that :D
Rukvara:Ruk had to arry him here
Quillax:(Right, then I need to know, what are we doing here? Running? Fighting?)
Rukvara:Running
Chris T.:(I think now we must run, ourbest chance has been blown.)
Rukvara:their reach alone would have killed us, but anyway, now we run
Chris T.:(Not from around the corrner\)
Quillax:OK, Then Q directs Mal and Clank to grab Librarian and drag everyone closer together, then she Plane Shifts them into a gentle Plane (air?), then immediately back to their own plane of existance on her next turn
Chris T.:Mal can grab Victor in her turn and drag him south towards the others)
Simon N. (GM):Clank drags Librarian over to Quillax. Do you have a tuning fork attuned to the Plane of Air?
Quillax:She's got a tuning fork a spot - outside Heidmarch manner? Or outside Magnimar, I can't remember.
Simon N. (GM):I think you have Astral + Prime, I don't recall any others
Quillax:Must have been Astral and not Air, then.
Simon N. (GM):Is Quillax casting Plane Shift & Readying to discharge it when everyone touching her?
Quillax:Yes
Simon N. (GM):ok
Quillax:(my last two big spells! saved for this purpose - or for a true res)
Chris T.:bonus action, Shield of Faith as I imagine the RG will get an attack of opp? Then she moves 15' to Voctor, grabs him (24 Str) and drags him 15' south. Hopefullybehind the reveal of the cave wall. Done.
Simon N. (GM):I'll let you pick Victor up w half your move rather than needing an action, so you have 45' of move total
Chris T.:yes please.
Simon N. (GM):1 giant opp att
Chris T.:AC26
Simon N. (GM):45 dmg
Chris T.:-20 for fast heal =101/184HP
Simon N. (GM):(you had to enter V's square to pick him up so actually 20' to reach him, 15' pickup, 25' left)
Chris T.:sof stands
Rukvara:I 'll get him, don't worry
Simon N. (GM):#22 Ruk
Rukvara:disengage just incase, move to vic, roll his fat arse over and touch Qulliax
Simon N. (GM):Mal has Vic
Rukvara:wait, its opp has been used right?
Simon N. (GM):yup
Quillax:As long as everyone is touching the druid, we're good.
Rukvara:flip the giant off as I go
Simon N. (GM):OK Q shifts out?
Quillax:Yep
Simon N. (GM):You arrive in the starry void of the Astral Sea...
Chris T.:M lays hands on Victor for 10HP
Simon N. (GM):Victor roll death save
Victor Septimus:

Death Saving Throw
Victor Septimus
Simon N. (GM):OK 1 fail but Vic can't die b4 Mal heals him to 10 hp.
Victor Septimus:Victor opens his eyes "fuck"
Quillax:None of those included Mal's bonus?
Rukvara:"Thats why the original plan was NOT to fight but to evacuaate the llibrary"
Chris T.:"You ignored the plan!"
Rukvara:Ruk is on 7hp at this point and kinda pissy"
Victor Septimus:Vic looks over to Mal. Clearing his throat awkardly "I suppose a thank you is in order"
Chris T.:"Stand in the doorway and die were my last words to you!"
Rukvara:read the words
Chris T.:"We're all here Victor but we lost a chance to kill the rune giants."
Quillax:Q clears her throat. "Shall we? Before something far larger finds us?"
Rukvara:we came to library to evacute it, not stay and fight
Chris T.:"Yes, yourmajesty."
Victor Septimus:"Those have to be the most powerful creature i have ever seen"
Simon N. (GM):Clank turns Librarian back on :)
Quillax:Q summons them all closer to her, "Let's get back to somewhere safer."
Victor Septimus:"killing them? I doubt it"
Chris T.:Mal says nothing. It seems no one listens to a word she says anyway.
Simon N. (GM):Librarian looks very sad to be separated from his books.
Victor Septimus:Once again, got to my comp and got told to roll INI. I didn't think i had a choice of where i was. VERY confusing to start that way
Rukvara:soz Chris, where you him the week before the library? I don't mean any offence
Chris T.:We'll get them nexttime.
Quillax:Is everyone touching the Druid?
Rukvara:ugh, my grammar sucks today -.-
Chris T.:We spent time planning then did the complete opposite of the plan.
Rukvara:yep
Chris T.:If we don't learn to fight as a tewm we'll just go through this every time.
Quillax:(ah, my internet is back)
Rukvara:not THAT plan the plan for visiting the library in the first place
Victor Septimus:Trust me, i wanted to do the same plan. Being in a cave hole/coffin wasn't my intention.
Quillax:Q consoles Librarian, "We'll get you to a Library, then I'll figure out how to get yours back. And if we can't, we'll build you a bigger one."
Chris T.:Then someone else make the plan next time.
Quillax:OK, so what did we learn?
Rukvara:I'm supprised that you can't shape 5' one turn, then another 5' the next one
Victor Septimus:Number 2 is really good to know. I wouldn't be facing the entrance of a hole waiting to get whooped if it was my choice.
Rukvara:yes please
Victor Septimus:I think so too. Vic touches the Druid.
Rukvara:Ruk has been bear hugging the druid the whole time dripping blood all over her
Quillax:5 - Q needs to pick her last epic boon and wonders if it can be a special one like non-fight travel spells don't subtract from her spell slots ;)
Simon N. (GM):P-shift to Magnimar?
Quillax:Yes please
Chris T.:nice maps :)
Simon N. (GM):You appear in the Heidmarch manor garden.
Victor Septimus:"Is there an infirmary here? I do believe my ar m is broken"
Quillax:Q hands each of them a jar of keoghtom's ointment and strides off to find her people to see if everyone made it. "Mal, can you take Librarian and Clank to the Library
Simon N. (GM):Dermirr the Druid: "Arch-Druidess, you're safe! Thank the gods!"
Quillax:"Dermirr, did everyone make it?"
Rukvara:Ruk says - "I need a Drink, a Healer and a nap.....in that order"
Victor Septimus:"i secon that"
Rukvara:Ruk looks like shit at this point (7hp/305)
Victor Septimus:
| Keoghtom's Ointment used | 14 Hp Restored |
Quillax:(there is 5 per jar, I believe)
Simon N. (GM):Pathfinder Venture Captain Sheila Heidmarch appears. "Ah good, you're all safe... if somewhat the worse for wear."
Rukvara:she needs to bathe in healing potions
Chris T.:Queen Malassandra, last Queen of the Azlanti goes to the library with Q's servants
Quillax::D
Simon N. (GM):Pathfinders Jilla & Shukura , & the Druids, can cast lots of healing on you. Good time for a Long Rest?
Quillax:(You know Q trusts you if she trusts you with Clank :) )
Victor Septimus:Victor walks up to Ruk. "I need you to pull my arm, its dislocated at the shoulder"
Simon N. (GM):GM: OK you rest and heal up...
Rukvara:Ruk drinks herself into a stupoy then face plants onto a bed....hopefully hers
Victor Septimus:eh, he will do it himself haha
Quillax:Q sends all the rescued books to the Librarian, ensures Clank is tuned up and on guard, helps find places for everyone to sleep in the short term, and gets a healer to sort out Victor's arm so he doesn't trap a nerve and make it so his arm is not useless forever
Victor Septimus:(Crack) "ooooooof"
Rukvara:"Ooo, can I get a go at doing that next time!"
Chris T.::D
Victor Septimus:" I did ask"
Simon N. (GM):1 week later... you are all healed up, Sheila is putting up the refugees in Heidmarch Manor with reasonably good grace. She invites you to a briefing.
Rukvara:"ah! good, i'll just break your otherone....
Victor Septimus:Chuckles "hmph, oh do try it"
Rukvara:"Ruk approaches with an eveil smile"
Victor Septimus:A smile under the mask appears
Rukvara:ooc is that Darth vadar at the table with us?"
Victor Septimus:i hope so
Rukvara:oo, maybe they'll he'll lend us the deaath star!
Victor Septimus:I'd be keen on a light saber too.
Simon N. (GM):GM: With Sheila at the briefing is Paralictor Jereth Rogare, local Hellknight commander and member of the Sihedron Council (along w Sheila & Quillax)
Rukvara:"Ruj cracks her neck
Quillax:Q surveys the table then nods
Victor Septimus:Vic nods.
Chris T.:M looks serene and unruffled
Simon N. (GM):"We've received a message from the Stone Giant Shamaness Conna that the rune giants are still at Jorgenfist, and have begun sending parties out to gain control of the giant tribes of the mountains."
Victor Septimus:"I have come to face with thes Rune giants first hand. They are, overwhelming in every sense of the word. I prefer a direct approach, but these are like fighting a strom itself"
Simon N. (GM):Rogare nods. "Yes. And Magnimar's Meteor Swarm bombards are now heavily depleted... though the exact number remaining is a close guarded secret."
Quillax:"We'll have to trust that ShieldBiter remains a double agent and has not fallen to Greed. Our best bet it to remove the Peacock."
Simon N. (GM):brb beer run
Chris T.:Mal has not met Shieldbiter. OOC - what is his rollin this world?
Quillax:(He's a Dragonborn that has gotten around into loads of battles. Last time we were with him, he decided to go pretend to fall in with Greed.)
Chris T.:(Thanks)
Rukvara:(he is/was Bill's character)
Chris T.:(Yup)
Simon N. (GM):(Chris has a history w Shieldbiter!)
Chris T.:(Was just unsure of his role in the current set up.)
Simon N. (GM):Sheila: "Quillax, explain again about the Peacock, for the benefit of Sir Rogare here."
Quillax:"The Peacock is the representative of Pride - Pride has been undertaking a religous cult coup of sorts, spreading the wings in the shadow. There will be deep roots and undoubtedly it will
Chris T.:"If we can not fight the storm we must learn to bend with it, let it blow itself out around us. While we take the head of the peacock?"
Simon N. (GM):Rogare: "Pride - Runelord Xanderghul? The most powerful one?"
Quillax:"Pride is still weak, according to a source of ours. He did not come out...whole."
Simon N. (GM):Rogare: "Hm. We fight Xanderghul because Karzoug is too powerful to face?"
Quillax:"This is our best chance against him, before he regains his full strength."
Chris T.:"What of Sorshen? She seems to have taken an interest. Perhaps she can once more offer her help?"
Quillax:"Better to take down the weaker ones so we may have fewer enemies on the battle field against us."
Simon N. (GM):Sheila nods to Quillax and looks to Malassandra. "Perhaps you van contact Sorshen? We desperately need allies."
Chris T.:"I will try."
Quillax:To Mal, she shrugs. "We have spoken on Xanderghul once. She may choose to contact us again, or not."
Chris T.:(Perhaps through Lissala or Kursha?)
Simon N. (GM):Rogare looks unconvinced at Qullax's words about taking down the weaker ones. He looks to Victor. "The Rune Giants may be too powerful to fight... but Karzoug is still mortal, yes? If we could get to him..."
Victor Septimus:"i belive lady Quilax tried that once. 2 of her squad died using this approach"
Simon N. (GM):OOC pity you have no Bard Cleric or Wizard for Sending to Sorshen https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Sending#content
Chris T.:"We did not fight him on our terms. We were taken by surprise."
Victor Septimus:"You were there Quilax, i've only read the report"
Chris T.:"We must grasp the issue, take the initiative."
Victor Septimus:OOC pity you have no Bard Cleric or Wizard for Sending to Sorshen https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Sending#content
Simon N. (GM):Sheila: "I don't believe another assault on Karzoug's Pinnacle of Avarice is advisable at this time."
Quillax:Q's jaw clenches. "Karzoug has a particular hatred for me. He will come and when he does, it will be to our battlefield. We will proceed first by taking our Xanderghul and freeing up our soldiers in those places to protect as many of our peoples as we can."
Rukvara:"....my husbands body is up there...
Victor Septimus:" taking out these Runelords, thinning thier power by killing the more vunerable ones and avoiding these giants perhaps?"
Quillax:"Xanderghul may have some relics or books that can help us against Karzoug. Pride has illusion magic which we perhaps may be able to use to our advantage."
Simon N. (GM):Sheila: "Rukvara... Your husband would not want you to throw your life away."
Rukvara:"No, he'd want me to kill the one who murdered him!"
Chris T.:"And to destroy another rune lord will bolster morale. We must show the world that wecan win."
Rukvara:She slams her fist on the table
Victor Septimus:Is there drink at the table?
Quillax:"If I thought it would solve the problem, I would charge at it him head on, but I will not sacrifice Claw's WIFE when it will serve no purpose but for your bones to be beside his!" Q roars, finally having lost her temper
Simon N. (GM):(yes, drink on table) Sheia nods to Quillax. "I understand the Temple of the Peacock Spirit is cloaked in Illusion, hidden. Hopefully your own powers can pierce the veil."
Quillax:Q breathes out deeply. "If you wish to avenge your husband, we will do it - but we will not do it stupidly."
Rukvara:Ruk storms out of the room
Victor Septimus:Victor pours a drink, looks at Mal holding it out to her looking at her like "want one?"
Quillax:She clears her throat and turns to Shelia - "We can only hope."
Simon N. (GM):Sheila breathes out as Ruk storms away. "I worry about that one."
Chris T.:"Not while I'm working. But thank you, Victor."
Quillax:"She grieves deeply. It comes out as anger, which is a safer emotion for many then sorrow."
Simon N. (GM):Rogare: "The Shoanti are hot-blooded. And they mate for life."
Victor Septimus:"hmph, suit yourself" Vic takes a hearty sip.
Rukvara:Ruk find a barrel of ale and sits drinking it frustrated on a chair infront of the hearth
Simon N. (GM):Rogare: "It does seem that destroying Xanderghul, supposed greatest of the Runelords, would boost morale. Especially if we can gain his resources."
Victor Septimus:"Paralictor. I would advise a more guerilla warfare approach to this giant menace. It pains me to say it, but as we are, we are no match even for a scouting party"
Simon N. (GM):Rogare nods to Victor. "Aye. They're like nothing seen on Golarion for ten thousand years."
Chris T.:"They can be killed."
Victor Septimus:"Aye" VIc takes a drink.
Simon N. (GM):Rogare turns to Quillax. "The Hell Knights stand ready to assist in any way we can."
Chris T.:Mal despairs of the valour of humanity.
Quillax:Q nods. "Our thanks, Rogare, to you and your brave Hellknights."
Simon N. (GM):Sheila: "The Pathfinders and the Sihedron Council, likewise. No one wants to go down without a fight."
Victor Septimus:"One thing i did notice"
Simon N. (GM):Sheila: "Yes?"
Victor Septimus:"perhaps can be used against these giants. They are prideful, they see us as.. insects to be crushed. They may under estimate us, that can be used to our advantage"
Simon N. (GM):Sheila: "Yes... I have been dealing with these Runelords for some twelve years now... and it is clear they and their minions rarely take us seriously. Probably just as well."
Quillax:"And that is why we will win. We know they can be killed. But we also know that we must fight smarter."
Chris T.:"Agreed."
Simon N. (GM):Rogare: "How are their protections against magic? Spells like Banishment, Hypnotic Pattern..."
Chris T.:"They are difficult to banish. They seem to resist the magic."
Simon N. (GM):Sheila sighs.
Victor Septimus:" i didn't have the chance to test my own magic on them. I was unconscious before i knew what was going on"
Chris T.:"Their weakness lays in their great size. They are slow."
Victor Septimus:OOC int saves would rock
Quillax:"Many kinds of magic do not work on them. Their magic is based the same as mine, upon Wisdom. They are not extremely intelligent but their strength and determination makes up for it.
Victor Septimus:Synaptic static would work well
Quillax:"But like all giants, like Claw, Charm and such seems to not work so well against them."
Simon N. (GM):Sheila: "Karzoug appears to have three groups of them - a dozen each. One at Jorgenfist, one in Belkzen, one guarding him at Xin-Shalast. He has been deploying them rather cautiously, I think, keeping them together. His remaining forces are weak, for now, but as he takes control of Zutha's armies that will change."
Chris T.:"And we must avoid their attacks that can harm all of us. Keep out of their spells which cause damage over an area."
Quillax:"We can take a single one as a group, but they wield lightning and fire and hit exceptionally hard."
Victor Septimus:"Aggresive, fast.... tch, perfect warriors"
Chris T.:"If you fear to fight them wemust then stripthem of support?"
Victor Septimus:"Fear has nothing to do with this. I resepct them, the power they have"
Simon N. (GM):Sheila: "The Pathfinders will work with Lastwall and others to slow Karzoug's conquest of Belkzen as much as possible, avoiding battle with his Rune Giants. Meanwhile you will go to the Temple of the Peacock Spirit, eliminate weakened Xanderghul."
Chris T.:"Fine by me."
Victor Septimus:"And I"
Simon N. (GM):Sheila: "You may also wish to go to Runeforge . I understand from Brodert that powerful anti-Runelord weapons may be created there. Perhaps something that could even harm a Rune Giant?"
Victor Septimus:"Excellent, we need all the help we can get"
Quillax:"If we can lure them away from the group, yes...."
Victor Septimus:Victor stands. Ill talk to the Runeforge master at once"
Chris T.:OOC - do we have those rune metals still? M would love to forge a better shield.
Victor Septimus:"Pralictor", Victor thumps hhis chest with his gauntlent
Rukvara:all the gancy metals we're with Claw
Simon N. (GM):Rogare salutes back.
Chris T.:Thanks,James.
Quillax:(Simon, question, would a large interconnect series of plants, such as a "Pando" or a series of interconnected ferns work for transport via plants?)
Chris T.:phone brb
Victor Septimus:OOC is the runeforge here?
Simon N. (GM):Has to be a Large plant https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Transport%20via%20Plants#content
Quillax:(yes, so a large plant is defined as something that comes from a single root system? If there was some plant that spread across a large space but had single root system, would that count? Does the portal HAVE to be vertical?)
Simon N. (GM):Sheila explains to Victor that Runeforge is at Rimeskull mountain in NW Varisia and is a legendary smithing dungeon created by the Runelords
Victor Septimus:"How far is the travel?"
Simon N. (GM):(I think I might make Quillax roll Nature if it's a marginal case)
Chris T.:back, sorryabout that
Quillax:(so if Q happened to grow a large flat "plant"... the spell says nothing about having to willingly step through. If you fell through...yes?)
Simon N. (GM):Temple of Peacock Spirit is in the Kodar mountains roughly due north of the Sunken Queen
Chris T.:a long way north, past Karzoug's armies?
Simon N. (GM):"any creature can step into the target plant and exit from the destination plant by using 5 feet of movement." hmmm
Quillax:(Q can get them pretty close to there - she was up there before)
Chris T.:cool
Victor Septimus:Hmm guess i can't fly their on a pegasus
Rukvara:OOC Now your thinking with Portals ;)
Simon N. (GM):>>:a long way north, past Karzoug's armies?<< It's not in Karzoug territory
Chris T.:But they lay between us and the north?
Simon N. (GM):Karzoug Land is Shalast https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjicTLCZdDXIC7iSjbD8RRfiYtaXBFXU3GHV816nL71_J7cXFRaGhQv4VpKhheXwN0jUSR1Hd4OLYKP7lvtntYVAwvzqCsEn-EnSqJA55InnfcE52QXTBn-V9cPQzwKIhZnNPh3eyEj4E_L/s1600/Varisia+M4+4720+AR.jpg
Chris T.:They attackedthe Jorgunfist?
Simon N. (GM):yes
Victor Septimus:"Shall first order of business is to find better arms at this forge?"
Chris T.:"So we head north to forge weapons of great power then attack the peacock throne?"
Simon N. (GM):GM: Need to stop shortly. Do you want me to prep Runeforge for next time? :)
Chris T.:Sounds good guys?
