JamesDevil: morning Kiki
Smon: Morning all

JamesDevil: morning Simon#
Keelia: I'm on time for once

Smon: What time is it for you K?
JamesDevil: I was firt by 1 min

Keelia: 12:32pm - lunch time

Keelia: This is about when Dubai wakes up

Nothing here opens until 10am and then between traffic and general idiots, it takes a while to get around.
JamesDevil: ah, general idiots, what wouyld we do without them?
Keelia: But, it's also a work day here on a Sunday, which is always confusing
JamesDevil: :/
8:34am  2019-2-24 joriandrake Has entered the room
8:35am  2019-2-24 sandor sunneson Has entered the room
joriandrake: hi sorry for being late just got home
JamesDevil: morning gentlemen
sandor sunneson: Morning, sorry I'm late
sandor sunneson: Morning James
Keelia: No drama. We're just settling in.
Keelia: Everyone have their tea/coffee/drink of choice?
Smon: bill is booting up
Smon: black coffee yup
JamesDevil: blood of the innocent? yes
8:37am  2019-2-24 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
Keelia: excellent. I've got some milk, my character sheet, and some chocolate so I'm good to go
Smon: last session http://smonscurseofthecrimsonthrone.blogspot.com/2019/02/ep-70-2544719-ar-general-stom-5000.html
JamesDevil: xxD
JamesDevil: the title
Smon:

End of sesh "OK you float/fly up to join Drak on the cliffs where you can SR and spend hit dice in time for next session"
JamesDevil: genius
joriandrake: hi Bill
Keelia: OK, before we get going - health check? Everyone spent their hit dice?
JamesDevil: i think she is the only female he hasn't hit in yet
DESTROYERBILL: hi jorian
joriandrake: short rest does nothing for me currently, feel free to rest Drakhaien will keep watch
JamesDevil: yarp, we did the long rest at the end of the last seesion, back to full hp after half my hit die spent
Smon: GM: As you finish your short rest (1 hr) on the heights above the guiltspur the rain gives way to clear sky; morning sun is high overhead, getting towards noon.
JamesDevil: fair enough
sandor sunneson rolls 7d12+21 and gets:

11,

12,

6, (+21) = 77
Keelia: OK, here's the plan. We're going to shift into cloud and fly to an area near the spire where we can turn back but out of range / sight.
Smon: SB reappears beside you in a blue shimmer, looking even bigger than before.
sandor sunneson: back to full
sandor sunneson: you been on the protein shakes SB???
Keelia: From there, we'll head in, as stealthy as possible. If they are mining, we'll head up near the miners and sneak by.
DESTROYERBILL: yeah proteen shakes of ancient burial grounds
JamesDevil: "right, remember what the Giant srgent said, we'll be facing guard, concubines and the a 'tiger' that their leader favour"
JamesDevil: we get the shard, hand the head of the boss over and we're all good"
Keelia: The miners have been looking sickly, so whatever they are mining is likely poisonous or otherwise radiantly nasty, so they won't be paying attention.
Smon: map https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAOS083aHHfn-1P5bRdVRBB3q06uVaHD41zd_wMxGffF7a1vlhzznPSMO6-lt1CsCHDLINxFB6ynqDiM06cdUheJv55mZST1CnqR4YhB2nJ6Jn_hnEttVynjnM6SRM7JlE-OWK5YZkOHMb/s1600/Jubbek+Steading.bmp
JamesDevil: is there an obvious entrance to the spire?
Smon: It's only an hour or so since the battle.
Keelia: "No one will charge ahead or split the group. Stick together. If you have stealth, you are up front. If you don't just try not to trip over any buckets."
DESTROYERBILL: they should just keel over and die hopefully
Smon: Entry at base of the cleft just west of spire.
JamesDevil: "ok, lets head in"
JamesDevil: "Claw will lead the group to the cleft
sandor sunneson: Good plan
Smon: Are you Wind Walking down into the cleft then turning back inside the cleft?
Keelia: "Wind Walk lasts 8 hours. So, if something happens and it all goes wrong, find a spot to change into wind and get out. Otherwise, stay with the group."
JamesDevil: Claw is just walking normally
Smon: SB can fly down w his wings.
Keelia: If it looks clear, we'll wind walk down into the cleft.
Smon: You are 300' foot up. Claw could climb down the cliff, will take about 8 rounds.
JamesDevil: Claw will climb down like a normal person
DESTROYERBILL: ill be spotted very quick
joriandrake: ((We still have a bit less than 7 hours then)
JamesDevil: ugh, fine, cloud form it is
JamesDevil: what do we see at the bottom?
Keelia: (Bill, do you have any stealth or invisibility?)
Smon: GM: OK you fly & wind walk down, landing at the bottom of the cleft, and turn back to human form over the next minute without being attacked.
DESTROYERBILL: no i have really bad stealth and sold the ring of invisibiletey i had
Keelia: (If not, try to stick close to the side of the cliff and glide down.)
JamesDevil: this will be an intersting game for you then Bill
DESTROYERBILL: yeah
Smon: A spur-shaped tower of blue-green metal protrudes from
the ground here, rising to a height of a few hundred feet.
The spur’s height seems even greater for the fact that the
ground around it has been meticulously chiseled away.
Ramps wind down along the spire’s sides to a point thirty
feet below, where an opening in its side reveals that the
structure is at least partially hollow.
Smon: GM: Inside the opening lies the corpse of a sickly and lightning-burned hill giant.
JamesDevil: hmm, any sign of guards?
Smon: Beyond the opening you see a ramp winding down along the inner circumference of the green Spire.
DESTROYERBILL: can i make a perception check to see if it was natural lightning or dragon lightning
DESTROYERBILL: magic?
Keelia: You don't need to. It was Quillax
DESTROYERBILL: oh okay
JamesDevil: lol
JamesDevil: it's ALWAYS quillax
Keelia: Call Lightning leaves nasty burns

Keelia: Not ALWAYS

JamesDevil: well, 90% of the time

DESTROYERBILL: true but a dragons burns hotter
Keelia: Q whispers to S & D. "Stealth forward and have a quick look that there are no guards."
sandor sunneson: Will do,
Keelia: "While we wait for SB to get down here. Claw, wait here with me."
Smon: GM: No sign of guards outside. But as you listen you hear a despairing giantish scream waft up from the entry, and a horrible crunching sound.
sandor sunneson: Sandor will use his eagle vision to see if he sees anything of interest
DESTROYERBILL: i land beside you
JamesDevil: "sounds like we're missing a party in there"
Keelia: Quillax motions for SB to wait with them
Smon: Sandor goes down to the entry and looks around.
DESTROYERBILL: o nod
DESTROYERBILL: i
Smon: into the spire
Keelia: "Wait," she murmurs to Claw. "Let the others report back."
sandor sunneson: Sandor rejoins the party
Keelia: "What did you see?"
Keelia: "Any guards?"
sandor sunneson: No, nothing of interest,
JamesDevil: "ok, lets move up"
Smon: Sandor sees a vast circular chamber rising to a height of sixty feet, the
smooth stone walls tapering upward to form a conical ceiling above him.
30' below the floor of the chamber is made of a layer of wooden planks,
but periodic gaps between the floorboards reveal that a dark
hollow space extends below. Stone double doors sit to the
south, while to the east and west large sections of wall have
crumbled away to allow access to caverns. A lava tube to the
west winds deeper into the rock, behind Sandor the side ramp leads up and out to the surface. To the east looms a large cavern
dominated by an immense throne made of wooden timbers
and mastodon bones. Beyond this huge throne rise two
ledges—the higher one is littered with a prodigious mound of
animal pelts and furs, while a large battered chest sits against
the eastern wall of the lower ledge.
Smon: LOL
JamesDevil: wow, text dump
sandor sunneson: (sorry, I meant more Sandor having a look with his eagle eyes from where he is positioned :), should have made his instructions more clear). Thanks GM anyway

joriandrake: nice description
DESTROYERBILL: well very descrptive at least
Keelia: Quillax nods. "The chest is a good place to start. The crunching was concerning though."
Smon: GM: (yes it was a shit post Fergus)

OK then trusting Sandor You enter the Guiltspur and descend to the floor.
DESTROYERBILL: did you say money
Smon: At this point the giants in the eastern caverns spot you roar and move to the attack...
JamesDevil: "lets do this"
Keelia: "Stay together, stay quiet. Our goal is the shard," she points a finger at SB. "Shard first. Possible end of world and all that takes priority over money."
Smon: Giant leader is huge, waving a massive club embedded with a sihedron shard https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d2/77/b6/d277b6d4da993c0f96b399c92c4922df.jpg
sandor sunneson: Sandor gets ready to rage
Keelia: (Quillax throws her hands up in despair. "Of course," she mutters.)
JamesDevil: how many other guards?
Keelia: "That! She points at the shard. Get that, no matter what."
Keelia: "But don't touch it with your hands!"
Smon: With him are 4 male hill giants, scarred and missing several fingers, 4 female hill giant concubines, and an enormous sabre toothed tiger.
Smon: They move out from the caverns off from the throne room, heading down towards you.
DESTROYERBILL: so baisacally its an infinitey stone
JamesDevil: hey SB want to go play with the Kitty?
JamesDevil: it probby wants a belly rub
sandor sunneson: Should we focus on attacking the leader to start off with?
DESTROYERBILL: yes kitty cat kitty cat kitty cat go
Smon: The chief is splattered with fresh gore from torturing to death the 2 hill giant miners who fled here earlier, and seems insane with Wrath, shrieking incoherently.
JamesDevil: no, weaker enemies first
Keelia: (Not quite, but an infinity stone is pretty close to the idea. Touching it sort of possesses you as opposed to rips you apart with energy)\
sandor sunneson: ok
JamesDevil: a weak enemy on 1hp still does as much damage as full health obne
DESTROYERBILL: good to know
sandor sunneson: true
sandor sunneson: wise words James
DESTROYERBILL: unless your a dragon in classic
joriandrake: "Well, prepare for battle"
JamesDevil: how far are they away at the moment?
Keelia: (Simon, is the ground worked stone?)
DESTROYERBILL: how strong could a hill giant really be
JamesDevil: they are the weast typoe, but they still take more than one hit
Smon: The floor at base of the Spur is worked stone, the caves the giants are coming from are unworked.
Smon: So you are standing on worked stone right now.
Keelia: (thanks)

)
JamesDevil: that wasn't the leader
JamesDevil: o wait
Smon: GM: Are you raging Sandor?
JamesDevil: nvm, nuke away
joriandrake: (actually being in the back with bow and not being an Assassin it is even better to start late -as long I am not attacked - than early so I see everything before Drakhaien's turn)

JamesDevil: end turn for Claw

Smon: The area is 40-50' across
joriandrake: where did this giant come at me from? one of the sides?
Smon: and giants have reach
Smon: From the throne cave to east along w rest of horde
Smon: I'll repost description
Smon: This vast circular chamber rises to a height of sixty feet, the
smooth stone walls tapering upward to form a conical ceiling.
The floor of the chamber is made of a layer of wooden planks,
but periodic gaps between the floorboards reveal that a dark
hollow space extends below. Stone double doors sit to the
south, while to the east and west large sections of wall have
crumbled away to allow access to caverns. A lava tube to the
west winds deeper into the rock, although a side ramp seems to
lead up and out to the surface. To the east looms a large cavern
dominated by an immense throne made of wooden timbers
and mastodon bones. Beyond this huge throne rise two
ledges—the higher one is littered with a prodigious mound of
animal pelts and furs, while a large battered chest sits against
the eastern wall of the lower ledge.
sandor sunneson: Sandor and SB attacked the paralysed lump of lard
joriandrake: Can Drakhaien position himself behind other player characters so that he is not in reach of a giant and allies would have opp attack if stil targeted and gone after?
Smon: The giants came at you from the east caves. They were about 30-40' away when init rolled
Keelia: brb
Smon: Drak is currently 20' from Claw his nearest ally who is attacking the giant horde surrounding SB & Sandor. A fireball just detonated amidst the horde
Smon: The sabertooth is on Claw, the fire giant is on Drak
joriandrake: Where is Quillax from Drak?
Smon: She went underground
Smon: I take it you haven't bothered reading the fight so far. :\
Keelia: sorry, back
joriandrake: yes but where did she do that?
Smon: at the east edge of the floor, west edge of the lava caves
joriandrake: I did, I am confused since the 2x5 times d20 rolls
Keelia: (20+ feet from where we started, where the work stone became unworked)
Keelia: (in the very first round)
Smon: The area she went under now has lots of giants over it
Smon: we are STILL on round 1

joriandrake: (this is first the first round as far I know)
Smon: Drak you could bonus action Disengage, go join Claw & sneak attack either cat or wounded concubine?
Keelia: (should have said very start of the round)

joriandrake: (got tired out fighting the toothy kitty)
Smon: You can end combat there
JamesDevil: Claw puts his foot on the club, reachs towards to Quillax and says "hand me the ion stone"
joriandrake: Drag throws dagger after if stil lable to
joriandrake: Drak
Keelia: Q retakes human form and digs out the ioun stone from the bag of holding.
joriandrake: if it is 60 feet from Drak, otherwise lets it leave
JamesDevil: He then yanks the shard from the club and slams the ion stone into it.
Smon: You have earned 6240 XP each for your victory + 2000 for gaining the 6th sin shard = 8240 each
JamesDevil: After this he pulls the depowered sword of Warth and slams the shard of wrath into it.
JamesDevil: He then he beheads whats left of the enemy chief.
joriandrake: ok, I gotta go then, thanks for the game
JamesDevil: OOC simon so we know the effect of the shard?
Smon: Sickening wrath threatens to overwhelm Claw as he yanks the shard and inserts the ioun stone - the feeling calms as the stone negates the sin curse.
DESTROYERBILL: i rush to the chest opening it
joriandrake: I wait for the loot even if I might miss the bus because I doN't want to be left out of it
sandor sunneson: excellent work team
Smon: You need to attune to shard to know what it does
Keelia: Q yanks him down and looks him in the eye - "you ok?"
JamesDevil: ah, k
Keelia: "Not feeling wrath-y?"
Smon: Claw beheads Chief Jubbek.
JamesDevil: "I'm fine"
sandor sunneson: Sandor goes to see what treasure is around
joriandrake: "Dragonkin, perhaps let me open it after inspecting for traps and then with lockpicks?" Drak tells SB
JamesDevil: Ok, Claw will attunt to it dattuning from the ring of protection
Smon: LOts of treasure is spread out around the cave lair
Keelia: She squints at him then nods.
JamesDevil: Wrath and gluttony don't conflict if i remember
Smon: (takes an hour Claw - you giving up prior shard?)
joriandrake: (ok, I am certain to get better armor now with the gold share)
JamesDevil: no, not for not
Keelia: She turns to check what the Chief had on him. "Someone go keep SB from emptying the chest without sharing."
DESTROYERBILL: ill share dont worry
Smon: "Area B8b to the east is dominated by Jubbek’s throne—a
home-made thing made of furs and hides stretched
haphazardly over a frame of wood and mastodon bones.
Area B8c beyond the throne is a 10-foot-high ledge on which
Jubbek stores his wealth (see Treasure, below), while area B8d
is a 20-foot-high ledge occupied by Jubbek’s “bedroom.”"
joriandrake: "Already on it"
JamesDevil: ready to level!

Smon: The walls of area B8b are festooned with objects, some
of which still twitch now and then, such as his staggering
collection of severed troll limbs. A long alphorn leans against
the northern wall. Beneath several layers of filth and dirt,
this instrument features fine gold filigree work depicting
rocs in f light, and is worth 450 gp. A scrimshaw mastodon
tusk of very high quality depicting mountain scenes hangs
on the southern wall—this item is worth 750 gp.
Jubbek’s throne is a relatively foul piece of furniture—
the entire thing reeks of sweat and filth, and several bits
of leather and fur used to create it were only partially
preserved. A poorly hidden pouch on the side of the throne
(Perception DC 15) contains 4 potions of cure serious wounds
as well as 200 gp.
Jubbek’s sleeping cavern (area B8d) is a mess as well, but
several minutes of searching the area are enough to uncover
the following unusual or valuable objects: a Small mithral
dagger, a Medium +1 handaxe, a selection of long iron
bars all bent into knots, a massive silver tankard etched
with rams attacking stirges worth 300 gp, an iron bottle
containing an elixir of love, a mummified horse’s head with
a silver tooth worth 25 gp, a masterwork manacle attached
to a wooden beam covered with 54 tiny notches, two huge
kegs of cider that taste eye-wateringly bitter (successful DC
14 Fortitude save upon drinking to avoid being sickened
for 1 hour), and a suit of half-plate horse barding scattered
around the place in pieces. No fewer than 21 pots of honey
(a favorite snack) lie amid 43 empty and shattered pots.
One of pots of honey contains an undiscovered “prize”—a
mummified dwarf ’s finger that still wears a ring of minor
spell storing (currently containing web and shocking grasp).
The bulk of what Jubbek considered his real valuables
is kept in the large dented chest in area B8c. The chest
isn’t locked, but a 900 pound rock sits atop it.
Smon: Ah, Paizo and their insane verbosity

joriandrake: ooh, honeyx
joriandrake: I love it
Smon: SB pushes the massive rock off the chest
JamesDevil: grab the cure serious wounds me thinks
joriandrake: then again I am on computer with the chat enlarged to full screen
DESTROYERBILL: i push off the rock and start collecting gold
JamesDevil: long rest to level or back to town or back to town?
Smon: top. Inside the
chest is a trio of exceptionally high quality furs worth 400
gp each, an average-locked iron box welded to a long chain
(break DC 28) that contains three bags of 1,000 sp and a
bag of 1,002 gp, a stout iron bound chest with a rod of enemy
detection thrust through the latch where the lock once was
(this chest contains seven gold-plated dwarf skulls worth
200 gp each), a huge jug with a silver handle worth 200 gp,
a cider keg brimming with copper coins (4,319 cp in all), a
+3 arrow of ooze slaying, and a small cork box containing a
rolled-up scroll of heal tucked into a ring of protection that
simply doesn’t work for evil creatures (in fact, when worn,
it turns an evil creature’s finger a nasty shade of green)
JamesDevil: ooc also what are the stats, etc for the sword now tahts its active?
DESTROYERBILL: i break the chain on the strong box
joriandrake: arrows and such dibs

Keelia: most of this we can sell and split the gold
DESTROYERBILL: str 28 is great
Smon: OOC I suggest one PC add up the gold value of everything so you can sell it & split during long rest?
Keelia: The ring of protection and the heal spell are worth keeping, along with the potions
joriandrake: good idea
JamesDevil: sounds good
Keelia: agreed.
sandor sunneson: Good idea,
joriandrake: I don't think mithral-nonmagical dagger is of any use other than selling either
sandor sunneson: Sandor doesn't have any magic rings so is interested in it and would be willing to pay for it too
joriandrake: Drak has no objection to Sandor getting it just for free as share of loot
Smon: GM: Having collected all the giant loot you return to the surface, where General Stom is waiting with her giants. She sees Claw carrying Jubbek's head, and nods approvingly, grinning. "Well done little one!"
Keelia: better to have AC - take it.
sandor sunneson: thank you,
JamesDevil: I've just taken my one off too, so its spare
joriandrake: "Can we discuss longetr alliance and its terms now?" Drak asks the other giant
joriandrake: longterm*
Smon: Stom: "I am charged to guard Guiltspur until Lord Karzoug's glorious return - if you like, I can put in a good word for you when He comes? He can use great warriors such as you, even if you are small!"
DESTROYERBILL: i ask claw how many shards we have now
joriandrake: 6 of 7 i think
sandor sunneson: right chaps, goin g to sign off, thanks for the game Simon. See you next weekend Sat am
joriandrake: ok folks I really have to leave now
Smon: You have gained 6 shards yup.
joriandrake: thanks for the game and see you later
Smon: bye J
JamesDevil: "that sounds good to me Stom" he shakes her hand
Smon: bye S
DESTROYERBILL: bye fergus
DESTROYERBILL: bye jorian
joriandrake: I will read the whole list of loot and see if there is any iitem i get interested in other than arrow then I post in thread
joriandrake: bye
Smon: Stom kneels and shakes Claw's hand. The badly wounded fire giant you chased off below watches, grimacing.
11:41am  2019-2-24 sandor sunneson Has exited the room
11:42am  2019-2-24 joriandrake Has exited the room
Smon: (ing called)
11:44am  2019-2-24 DESTROYERBILL Has exited the room
Keelia: ok, this is the list of stuff we are likely to want to keep:
Keelia: 4 potions of cure serious wounds an iron bottle containing an elixir of love, rod of enemy detection 1 +3 arrow of ooze slaying scroll of heal ring of protection a masterwork manacle attached to a wooden beam covered with 54 tiny notches, two huge kegs of cider that taste eye-wateringly bitter (successful DC 14 Fortitude save upon drinking to avoid being sickened for 1 hour), a ring of minor spell storing (currently containing web and shocking grasp).
Smon: thx

Smon: (i accidentally cut power to Bill's PC!)
JamesDevil: Simon like i said in the PM, when you get the chance can you post the stats for the shard and sword? no rush, we'll probably be sharing them with Fergus, etc once we know what each one does, etc
11:45am 2019-2-24 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
Smon: which sword?
JamesDevil: sword of Wrath
Smon: I will post shard stats once it's attuned yup
JamesDevil: I keep the depowered sword in my bag of holding

Smon: ah right
DESTROYERBILL: which shard are we missing
JamesDevil: coolio, also, we level after a long rest right? or do we need to go back to town?
JamesDevil: Sloth i think
Smon: short rest to level, but this is a good point to long rest especially as a cute goliath princess is waiting for Claw back in the Iron Mtns

DESTROYERBILL: cool does that mean you both have 3 shards on you
Smon: Most of the shards are held by others
Smon: Under the supervision of Sheila Heidmarch the Pathfinder Venture Captain.
JamesDevil: lol, true, k, l'll level now, max con, yay!
Smon: Claw & Quillax now level 19?
JamesDevil rolls 1d12+5 and gets:

10, (+5) = 15
JamesDevil: yep
JamesDevil: rolling hp
Smon: You are missing sloth yup
Keelia: just need to work out how much these are worth: No fewer than 21 pots of honey, a Small mithral dagger, a Medium +1 handaxe, selection of long iron bars all bent into knots, suit of half-plate horse barding
JamesDevil: or would you prefer i take average?
Smon: 15 is fine
DESTROYERBILL: do you guys have the shard of greed its the one ie been looking for or do you know who has it
Keelia: excluding that and the stuff we want to keep, the rest works out to be 5515 gp in total
DESTROYERBILL: ive
Smon: You can sell the axe for 250gp and the dagger for 50gp
JamesDevil: Bill your only here every other week, from a practical point of view i don't think its a good idea for yyou to have a shard, if we get to the end of the campaign and you not there we could be blocked from finishing it
Keelia: that brings us to 5815gp
JamesDevil: practicalities unfortunately
DESTROYERBILL: then why not give one to sandor and drakhien
Smon: I am sure SB will be there for final battle! But surely you are going to rebuild the Sihedron, the Ultimate Artifact?!

JamesDevil: that we've been discussing it
Smon: ok posting log now
Keelia: (We'll discuss rebuilding the ultimate artefact when we're sure that it's not going to open a rift in space / time

)
Keelia: thanks Simon
JamesDevil: Quillax and Claw are waiting them to prove themselves worthy, which after this i think they are
Keelia: 1163 GP each.
JamesDevil: thanks Simon
JamesDevil: thanks Keelia
