DESTROYERBILL: evening
Smon: Smon: last session log http://smonscurseofthecrimsonthrone.blogspot.com/2019/04/ep-79-9-1614720-ar-ognathooga-kraken.html
Smon: Evening J!
Smon: Haven't heard from Jorian, Fergus not coming
Keelia: I'm leaving towards +2 to WIS but I'll have another look at the feats really quickly. I can't apply it until long rest anyway
Smon: I allow level up on short rest
Smon: & boons aren't actually a level up so you get them right away AFAIK
Keelia: Oooh, I didn't realise that. I'll have another quick look and then apply it
Smon: End of last session: >>Keelia: "You have hurt me and mine and I do not appreciate that when I offered freedom at the start."
Smon: "MINIONS! DO NOT ATTACK UNLESS I SAY SO!" commands the Kraken.
Smon: The Kraken's great serpentine head eyes Quillax. You note the snake forms of the nagas in the water about 150' away to the SW.
Keelia: Q raises her hands to her companions, "Hold your attacks!"
Smon: Kraken: "MANY FLESH THINGS BEG FOR THEIR LIVES. I DID NOT UNDERSTAND YOU OFFERED ME FREEDOM. SEND ME TO THE WATER WORLD!"
Smon: "SEND ME! OR I WILL DESTROY YOUR MINIONS!"
Keelia: Q drifts forward. "I will need to touch you." She reaches out and cast plane shift at 8th level
Smon: The nagas seem to have stopped approaching.
Keelia: "Go home."
Smon: "THANK YOU."
Smon: With a shimmer, the vast Kraken disappears!
JamesDevil: yay!
JamesDevil: "I suggest we head back to that other room, before the naga change their minds!
Smon: Quillax gets an Epic Boon; Claw & Sandor get +10,000 XP
JamesDevil: ooc plus its late
JamesDevil: BOOM level 20!
Smon: The Naga seem stunned as their god vanishes.
Keelia: Q soars down to the others.
Smon: GM: You fall back for a short rest?
Keelia: Sounds good
JamesDevil: yep
Smon: OK will stop there<<
Keelia: I'm kind of liking dungeon delver but I'll likely go with +2 to WIS for this boon
Smon: GM: You fall back up the wide columned tunnel about 1/4 mile & Claw and Quillax short rests, Quillax feels wiser.
JamesDevil: a wise decision was made ^^
Smon: Shieldbiter shimmers & appears in the tunnel.
DESTROYERBILL: im back babye
DESTROYERBILL: baby
Smon: SN you see: a twenty-five-foot-wide hallway that slopes downward
to the south as far as the eye can see. The hall is supported by
hundreds of stone columns spaced every five feet that rise up to
the curving ceiling forty feet above. The lower six feet of each
column has been carved to resemble a faceless winged angelic
woman carrying a longsword.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Smon: All is quiet
Smon: SB you sense you missed a big fight - Quillax & Claw look stronger
Smon: Sandor has shimmered out.
JamesDevil: flex
Keelia: Q briefly explains about the Kraken (now gone) and the Naga (threat unknown)
DESTROYERBILL: they grow stronger while my coffers are getting fuller by the second
Keelia: She then pins him with a sharp look, "Speaking of being gone and unknown threat levels, what did you do or say to the RuneLord you defected to?"
DESTROYERBILL: i said something about give me more money i want more
JamesDevil: "right....how did that work out?"
DESTROYERBILL: they only gave me 13,000gp robe tut a poor mans robes
JamesDevil: "well its good to know that you are so cheap to buy out"
DESTROYERBILL: cheap me no that barley baught me looking at them
5:47pm 2019-5-04 joriandrake Has entered the room
joriandrake: hello, sorry if I am late I thought we start in a quarter hour
JamesDevil: Evening J
DESTROYERBILL: evening
Smon: GM: Moving down the long corridor deep under Guiltspur, stealthy Drakhaien sees Quillax & Claw ahead, interrogating Shieldbiter!
joriandrake: I'm reading last session atm
Smon: Hi Jorian
Keelia: (hi)
joriandrake: "What is going on?" Drakhaien wonders
Smon: You are in a twenty-five-foot-wide hallway that slopes downward
to the south as far as the eye can see. The hall is supported by
hundreds of stone columns spaced every five feet that rise up to
the curving ceiling forty feet above. The lower six feet of each
column has been carved to resemble a faceless winged angelic
woman carrying a longsword. You have been heading down the hall for 1/4 mile, about 20 minutes stealthing.
Keelia: Q frowns at SB. "You'll need to give me a full account later," she decides.
JamesDevil: "We we're talking to SB about his money situation"
Keelia: "We must know everything they do and what they are expecting of you and for that money."
Smon: >>hello, sorry if I am late I thought we start in a quarter hour<< 6.30pm start UK time
JamesDevil: "I've been think about the way ahead, it might be better to fly over the water, the problem is if anything drop down on us we'd be at a serious disadvantage"
Smon: GM: Claw is using a torch right?
JamesDevil: Yep
Smon: ok cross off another torch
DESTROYERBILL: yeah my coffers have been geting lower i spent like 30,000gp on orphaneges and like 125,000gp on a road 80,000gp on giving a town the abilitey to help their home less freed slaves another 10,000gp on homeless shelters i spent ike 110,000gp on building houses and shops in a poor area
Keelia: "I don't have fly and wind walk takes a minute to enter the form and another minute to exit the form, so there is the disadvantage of that, plus I'm burning spell slots and we won't have a way home."
joriandrake: Drakhaien's heart stops beating for a minute hearing the wasted wealth on some poor district
DESTROYERBILL: not wasted but invested
JamesDevil: hmm, perhaps we can fashion some kind of boat? i'll estigish my torch ofc
Smon: GM: Rem there are pylons across the lake, Claw could jump-fly from pylon to pylon, SB & Q could just fly?
Keelia: I can do water walk as a ritual
Keelia: How do we get Drak across?
Smon: The largest gap between pylons is about 50' but most are 25' apart.
Keelia: unless SB can carry him?
JamesDevil: I can jump/swim that
joriandrake: I can summon a shadow steed, but it can't fly or walk the water normally
Smon: SB certainly looks like he could carry Drak.
DESTROYERBILL: ooc keelia you said quillax told shieldbiter about the kraken briefley did you mention sending it to the elemental plane of water
Keelia: (I don't see why she would have left that out, so yes.)
joriandrake: If Quillax does the water walk ritual then it is best if Drakh just also does that to keep the group together
JamesDevil: lets do that then, save a spell slot so all good
DESTROYERBILL: SB: do you know what you have done it is an invaisive species that is massivley powerful it will destroy the eco system of the plane of water they are not used to krakes that close to where the elemtals live they will be extremley mad and if not hostile
JamesDevil: ...Krakens come FROM the plane of water Bill
JamesDevil: So it home
JamesDevil: its*
Keelia: "Pretty sure Kraken are native to plane of water."
Keelia: "It asked to go home."
DESTROYERBILL: in my world they come from the abyss not elemental plane of water
JamesDevil: "lets get going, we've got a shard to retrieve and a potentially a dragon to slay"
joriandrake: (and I got no clue where they come from in Faerun / Simon's setting, so I leave it at that)
Smon: GM: Is Q casting Water Walk? 10 minutes & lasts for 1 hour.
Keelia: "If you''re that interested, I'm sure next time you disappear, you are welcome to go check," she shrugs.
Keelia: Yes, she'll ritual Water Walk
Smon: GM: Q C & D can roll Religion re Krakens if you like
joriandrake: Drakh will escort her then over water
JamesDevil rolls 1d20-1 and gets: 7, (-1) = 6
Keelia: (honestly, I'm not that interested in debating the origin of a kraken seeing as we're trying to save the world, but if others feel the need... )
JamesDevil: not a good roll to start the evening
Keelia: (get the bad rolls out early! )
Smon: GM: The spell cast, you proceed south another 1/4 mile to where the tunnel opens into the great cavern.
The vast hallway comes to a sudden end, looking out into a vast
underground lake. The dark waters ripple thirty feet below the
jagged edge of the hall’s end. A series of intermittently-spaced
stone pilings extends south, indicating that at one point the hall
transformed into a bridge that extended south over the lake,
but the bridge itself must have collapsed long ago.
This vast cavern’s limits recede off into darkness, as do the
inky black waters of the lake that takes up the chamber’s
extent. The ceiling rises to form a cathedral-like space above.
Stalactites hang here and there, some of prodigious size, while
two irregular rows of stone pilings lead south, out across the
waters. The sound of gently cascading water echoes through
the cavern.
Smon: Those of you with Darkvision can dimly make out the ruins atop island(s?) about 400' to the south, and a closer island 150' or so the SW near the western cavern wall.
JamesDevil: Claw is holding his torch
joriandrake: Drakh will share what he observes with those who can't see such details
Smon: Drak & Quillax see the shapes of several writhing dark nagas on the SW island, looking in your direction as the torch light spills over the dark waters.
JamesDevil: "I can't see shit, what can you guys see?"
joriandrake: "Elven supremacy"
joriandrake: Drakh chukles
Keelia: "Nagas, some land, some ruins."
Smon: SB using dragonsight you see the nagas too, they seem to be watching not approaching.
joriandrake: (human head on snake body - type of naga?)
Keelia: "With luck, they'll continue to follow their Kraken god's command to stop and we'll be able to pass."
JamesDevil: @Bill what the hell is draginsight?
Smon: The SW naga isle: A barren, rocky isle rises barely above the level of the water here.
Something has cleared the island of all rocks and other bits of
debris—every stalagmite has been broken off at the root, and
the remaining rubble has been placed deliberately across the
isle in strangely complex and unsettling coiling patterns.
DESTROYERBILL: eagle eyes re named
joriandrake: his eyes
JamesDevil: right....
Smon: The south isle (barely visible): A barren, rocky isle rises from the lake waters. Atop the island’s
thirty-foot-high peak lie the cracked foundations of a longcrumbled
structure of some sort.
JamesDevil: i took the eagle totem at that second level so suppose i have it too then
Smon: Yes, if you had darkvision you could see stuff beyond the torchlight with eagle vision
Keelia: IIRC, SB has someone who can clone gear, perhaps he can arrange a set of dark vision goggles on his next disappearance?
Smon: GM: You could probably get Golemworks in Magnimar to make you a set.
JamesDevil: are they attunment?
Smon: nope
JamesDevil: sweet!
Smon: If you already have darkvision they add +60' range, so would give Drak 120', or 240' vision in low light from torch etc.
joriandrake: that is nice, that means it is actually still useful for me as long range sniper
Smon: GM: Are you walking on the water? South between the pylons to the south island? Or to the naga island?
Keelia: towards the ruins?
JamesDevil: to the Ruins methink
joriandrake: as we walk on water Drakhaien will use Prestidigitation to create ... smoke on the water
JamesDevil: I'm fairly certain that's a Jimmy Hendrix song..
joriandrake: Austrians play it also, with bagpipes
Smon: GM: You walk over the still waters, the sound of a distaht waterfall to the south growing closer. After 400' you reach the shore of a small low island, it turns out there is a 20-30' gap then the larger island with the ruined tower. To the SW those of you with darkvision can make out a sandy beach on the west edge of the cavern about 150' away - A wide beach of damp stone rises up from the lake’s edge
here. Numerous stalagmites and stalactites decorate the
region, which narrows down to a pair of twenty-five-foot-wide
passageways leading to the west. A twenty-foot-wide pathway
has been smashed through the stalagmites from the lake to the
southernmost entrance—this path is smeared with slime and
bits of strange, violet meat.
joriandrake: (lol, I actually found it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT1zbZz4A4s )
Keelia: Q pauses. "Slime and purple flesh. be on your guard."
Smon: GM: As you climb up onto the larger island you see through the tumbled remains of the tower wall to the smooth floor of the interior - oddly smooth, not a single bit of debris.
JamesDevil: Claw grip the sword of Wrath
joriandrake: "Perhaps we should come back when this is all cleaned up again"
Keelia: Q lifts her hands with produce flame to both light the area and prepare to defend herself.
Smon: You can roll Nature to ID the meat fragments
JamesDevil: Claw throws a stone into the tower
JamesDevil rolls 1d20 and gets: 16,
Keelia rolls 1d20+12 and gets: 4, (+12) = 16
JamesDevil: -1
JamesDevil: so 15
Smon: The stone passes over the ruined wall and drop straight through the 'floor' meeting no resistance - an illusion?
Smon: DC 18 for the meat
Keelia: Q has +2 saves against illusion, she'll try to do perception?
Smon: OK Quilax roll Per
Keelia rolls 1d20+16 and gets: 9, (+16) = 25
Keelia: (pitiful rolls but hopefully that's enough )
Smon: Q's vision shifts and the 'floor' becomes translucent - it's an illusion covering a deep shaft heading straight down, 20' across.
Keelia: She relays this to the others
JamesDevil: "hmm, how far down does it go?"
JamesDevil: "can you tell?"
Keelia: She'll move up to the edge and look down
Smon: Q steps over the rubble at a low spot and looks down - with torch behind her she can see down 120' or so but it just keeps on going, probably much deeper than that.
Keelia: "Deep," she replies. "Further than I can see."
joriandrake: Drakh will aid with his own perception/investigation skills when needed
JamesDevil: Claw drops the torch down the hole
Keelia: (Oh, i just realised I have an ever burning torch in my bag. Claw can have that to replace his dropped torch, if he promises not to drop it down another hole )
JamesDevil:
JamesDevil: no promises
Smon: Q sees the torch fall a long long way, then the tiny point of light finally hits the ground(?) and winks out. Can roll Survival for distance estimate DC 15
Keelia rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 11, (+5) = 16
Smon: About 300'.
JamesDevil: yay!
Smon: The walls of the shaft are somehat rough, DC 20 Athletics to climb down (1 check per climb action)
Keelia: She relays her estimate. "Do we want to go explore?"
DESTROYERBILL: yes
JamesDevil: "if theres no otherway forward then a guess so
joriandrake: Drakh checks if the light is dim enough, if yes, he can then just fly down
JamesDevil: Claw will clime down, if he slips he'll eagle fly down a few feet to catch himself
Smon: Yes no light except the torch SB can climb/fly, Claw is eagle totem flight & auto athletics so same, Drak can fly. Q are you wildshaping to go down?
JamesDevil: climb*
Keelia: Q has feather fall, she'll jump
DESTROYERBILL: ill fly
joriandrake: So, some flying animals are quite stealthy, so I wish to attempt to sneak-fly down and as such scout for quillax
DESTROYERBILL: wait no climb
joriandrake: then report of findings with Message cantrip
JamesDevil: Who will reach the floor first?
Smon: OK most of you fly/climb down, Q floats down, Drak flying ahead to scout out danger.
Smon: None threatens and you all reach the bottom safely, 300' below...
Smon: Drak have 5,000 XP for reaching The Embassy of Leng
Keelia: (Oh dear.)
Smon: A ten-foot-wide, fifteen-foot-long hallway extends from the
bottom of the 20' wide deep pit, ending at a massive pair of black metal
double doors. The faces of these doors bear a detailed carving
of a vast mountain range under a night sky—an eerie castle of
immense size crowning the tallest of the mountains. The mountains look very familiar to Quillax, the same ones from her recent vision. Somehow she knows this is Leng.
joriandrake: ok, thanks
Smon: There is a faint mechanical humming sound in the air, almost too low to hear.
JamesDevil: "We should check for traps..."
Smon: The great doors at the end of the short hallway look to be made of adamantium
Keelia: "Do you hear the humming?" she murmurs. "I didn't realise the Leng were technologically advanced. Drak, check for traps on the door, but with care."
DESTROYERBILL: i could break it down if you want
Smon: There is a lock.
JamesDevil: Trap check first
joriandrake: Stealth-investigation
Smon: Checking the doors, Drak picks up the signs of an arcane ward - likely a powerful one.
joriandrake: Drakhaien looks around to spot a key or mechanism to open the lock
joriandrake: Drakh inspects it with Arcana knowledge as well
Smon: No key is visible; you could try to pick it with thieves' tools, at risk of setting off the trap.
Smon: Roll Arcana please
joriandrake rolls 1d20+9 and gets: 4, (+9) = 13
joriandrake: 19
Keelia: Q will give him guidance
Smon: Drak can't ID what the trap does exactly; he can try to disable it with Thieves Tools (INT) by erasing the invisible runes on the door
Keelia: on his next attempt at anything
joriandrake: ok, Drakhaien goas to a distance, suppons his mage hand, and tries to lockpick it from distance
Smon: OK you all retreat out of the corridor and Drak uses Mage Hand with lockpick...
Smon: thieves tools (DEX) check
Smon: OK Drak roll DEX (thieves tools prof)
joriandrake rolls 1d20+15 and gets: 13, (+15) = 28
joriandrake: + guidance
6:42pm 2019-5-04 Keelia Has exited the room
joriandrake rolls 1d4 and gets: 2,
6:42pm 2019-5-04 Keelia Has entered the room
joriandrake: 30
Smon: There is a click as the tumblers unlock... a sudden wave of bone-chilling wind washes
out from the doors, filling all of the hall & pit floor you'e in with the sound of a
shrieking windstorm...
joriandrake: "Glad we stand further from it..."
JamesDevil: Claw looks at SB
JamesDevil: "And thats why we don 't just open doors"
DESTROYERBILL: what
Smon: The storm of madness swirls around you (sorry!) everyone roll a DC 15 DEX save
joriandrake: damn, so the distance wasn't enough
DESTROYERBILL Rolls 1d20+5x2 and gets:
3 (+5) = 8
19 (+5) = 24
Smon: /roll 9d6
Keelia rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 6, (+6) = 12
Smon rolls 9d6 and gets: 4, 4, 2, 6, 3, 4, 6, 5, 5, = 39
JamesDevil Rolls 1d20+2x2 and gets:
8 (+2) = 10
3 (+2) = 5
Keelia: Ah, Q fails
JamesDevil: sod
Smon: 39 cold damage, half if save
joriandrake rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 10, (+10) = 20
joriandrake: Drakhaien avoids the madness storm and its harm
Smon: So raging totem barbs who save take 39/2/2 = 9
Smon: Everyone roll a DC 15 WIS save vs the Winds of Madness...
JamesDevil: Bill and I we'rt raging me thinks
Keelia rolls 1d20+15 and gets: 8, (+15) = 23
JamesDevil: sigh
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 7, (+1) = 8
JamesDevil: ffs
DESTROYERBILL: were level 20 barbarions we have unlimted rages your always raging even if you dont say
JamesDevil: ah, k
JamesDevil: good point
Smon: (can't rage while resting or sleeping, otherwise you can rage all day)
joriandrake rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 18, (+6) = 24
JamesDevil: Thats the trick captiin, i'm always angry
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 17, (+2) = 19
Smon: OK only Claw is driven mad... roll a d10 Claw
JamesDevil rolls 1d10 and gets: 8,
Smon: Claw sees himself threatened by evil undead... he strikes!
Smon: /roll d3
Smon rolls 1d3 and gets: 2
Smon: Claw swings the Sword of Wrath at Drakhaien!
joriandrake: ok, dead then
Smon: Claw roll an attack vs Drak
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+16 and gets: 1, (+16) = 17
Smon: Lucky!
DESTROYERBILL: SB jokeingly: he has gone feral got to put him down
JamesDevil: best possible outcome
Smon: GM: Somehow Claw misses the Rogue... a moment later the madness passes.
joriandrake: base ac after armor update is 18, so yay, no nee to spend a shield spell either
Smon: (luckily was just a 1 round effect)
joriandrake: no need*
JamesDevil: "smn, coolio
Keelia: Q grabs Claw's wrist. "What are you doing?"
JamesDevil: "You didn't see them?!2
Smon: Claw is feeling a bit dazed, but has recovered
DESTROYERBILL: SB:the rages has gotten to his head we should let him rest he only recentley got this
JamesDevil: "we should push forward, this place is cursed"
Keelia: "Who? There was no one else here."
JamesDevil: "I saw undead"
joriandrake: "You tries to strike at me with your huge sword, thankfully you missed" Drakhaien says coldly
DESTROYERBILL: SB: a great hero in my world also went insane after getting infinite rages so be careful
joriandrake: tried*
Keelia: "Must have been a magic trap," she commented. "Let's be more careful."
JamesDevil: "indeed"
Keelia: (Q is going to slap on a couple doses of healing ointment)
Smon: GM: Drak having recovered from the fright, can check the doors - they definitely unlocked, should be possible to turn handles & push them open.
JamesDevil: Claw walks around the corner, cautiously approaching the door"
Keelia rolls 2d8+2 and gets: 7, 3, (+2) = 12
Keelia rolls 2d8+2 and gets: 7, 7, (+2) = 16
Keelia rolls 2d8+2 and gets: 1, 6, (+2) = 9
JamesDevil: Thats enough Q
Smon: There is a very very faint blue flickering light coming through the keyhole.
Keelia: She'll do a few on herself
JamesDevil: "I know you love oiling me up but Ruk will get Jealious :P"
joriandrake: Drakh investigates things with passives
Keelia: "If I don't keep your ass alive, she'll have more problems then jealousy."
Keelia rolls 2d8+2 and gets: 8, 4, (+2) = 14
Keelia rolls 2d8+2 and gets: 2, 1, (+2) = 5
Keelia rolls 2d8+2 and gets: 3, 6, (+2) = 11
JamesDevil: "thats....true"
Smon: GM: Drak having recovered from the fright, can check the doors - they definitely unlocked, should be possible to turn handles & push them open. The trap looks like it will reset if the door is re-locked though.
JamesDevil: Claw will open one of the doors, then peg it open with a piton
joriandrake: Drakhaien notifies the others
joriandrake: "it is best if we spike the gate so it can't close again"
Smon: Claw opens the doors...
A vast cathedral towers here, lit by flickering blue lights that
dance in the upper reaches of the yawning space. The floor is
of a sickly blue stone so polished and reflective that it almost
serves as a cerulean mirror. To the west, the ceiling is a mere
fifty feet high, but as the cathedral widens to the east, the
ceiling rises to twice that height. Stone pillars support the
space above, while to the west, six alcoves containing statues
of winged women with empty faces stand guard. A twentyfoot-
tall stone double door sits in the cathedral’s northern
wall, its face carved with a depiction of a vast mountain range
capped by a towering castle. Far to the east, a series of steps
rises up to a wide pulpit on which crouches an elephantine
faceless sphinx carved from black stone.
Smon: (you are at west end of the titanic cathedral)
DESTROYERBILL: lets re inact notra damn
joriandrake: what?
Smon: It's probably 160' or so east to west, the wider eastern section is about 50' north-south
JamesDevil: Bill if you are refering to the fire that happened recently i suggest you do not speak of it again
Keelia: I bet that sphinx is going to try to kill us, Q mutters to herself.
DESTROYERBILL: why james
JamesDevil: "almost certainly"
JamesDevil: "I suggest we check the female statues first, we don't want them joining in"
Keelia: (it's a little bit insensitive, bill)
joriandrake: "Be careful, not jsut of the statues, who knows what else lurks around here"
Keelia: "Agreed, be on your guard."
DESTROYERBILL: its called making a joke out of a bad thing
JamesDevil: Claw approaches one of the angel statues
joriandrake: Drakhaien hides as they look around
DESTROYERBILL: daddy will be a minute just printing some stuff
joriandrake: How big is this room/area?
Smon: GM: 160 x 50 like I said
joriandrake: ok, thanks. didn't notice it in chat
Smon: The angel statues' faces have been erased, they seem slightly different from those above (can roll religion DC 25)
joriandrake: in this case Drakh hides at the very end near the gate and has bow ready
JamesDevil: I can't make that roll
Keelia: Q will guidance herself and try
Keelia rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 19, (+5) = 24
Keelia rolls 1d4 and gets: 4,
Keelia: yes!
JamesDevil: oo, so close
JamesDevil: woot!
Keelia: with guidance = 28
joriandrake: I have history, and now also Arcana, but not religion or nature proficiency, so good luck Keelia
joriandrake: yay
Smon: GM: Quillax recognises the subtle signs that these were once depictions of Lissala, patron goddess of ancient Thassilon, but they have been de-faced to represent a much darker power - Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos.
JamesDevil: "Ah...crawling..."
Keelia: "Ugh, Chaos gods," she sighs. "Explains the mind trap back there."
Smon: GM: Those with Passive Per 20+ have a sudden sense of something very EVIL in this chamber, getting closer...
joriandrake: "Can the original goddess statue be restored?"
joriandrake: I got blindsense but only till 10 feet
DESTROYERBILL: um actually nyarlophotep is not a choaos god in afaik from the books he is an elder god like cthulu and a mesanger of the outer gods like yogsofoth
JamesDevil: I have + 17, do i notice anything?
joriandrake: PP 27 - PI 29
Smon: (Q knows you could potentially restore the statues' original faces by reconsecrating them & with magic)
JamesDevil: o good an old god, because they are always so friendly with the whole insanity thing...
Keelia: Lissala was a goddess. She mutated to be chaotic and evil, therefore chaos god.
Keelia: "On your guard, something evil this way comes."
Keelia: (Could Q fix it with mending? or stone shape?)
joriandrake: well, I am at the end of the place near the gates
JamesDevil: Claw turns around, sword drawn
Smon: The THING attacks... everyone roll init please
DESTROYERBILL Rolls 1d20+4x2 and gets:
2 (+4) = 6
16 (+4) = 20
joriandrake: oh boy
JamesDevil Rolls 1d20+2x2 and gets:
11 (+2) = 13
6 (+2) = 8
JamesDevil: bah
Keelia rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 12, (+5) = 17

DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20 and gets: 3,
Smon: Something appears above you... this huge, tentacled entity is not shapeless
so much as its shape is not entirely visible.
Parts of it vanish and reappear as it moves:
its eyes, mouths, and tendrils flash in and
out of sight. A great, sweeping whistle
penetrates your ears, blocking out all other
noises for a moment.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 11,
Smon: GM: OK you all are either PP 20+ or raging barbs so can all act, but barbs count as surprised until they act, giving the inter-dimensional flying polyp advtg in round 1...
joriandrake: does it have a name?
Smon: #21 Drak
joriandrake: how far is it from me at the gate/entrance?
Smon: Flying Polyp - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/34/81/24/34812441c327b55bc398188d37ef5517.png - it's about 20' above you at the west end of the room.
JamesDevil: we thats....disgusting
joriandrake: ugh, so it is just 20 feet above me, does it mean the others who went deeper in exploring are in a better defendable location?
Smon: PP 25+ you can see it's shimmering through 8 slightly different forms each second or so
joriandrake: or is the west end where the others are, thus long away from me?
Smon: You're all still in the western part of the hall
Keelia: (damn only 24)
joriandrake: can I gain enough distance from it to still have it in sight? even if through the gate? I consider a double run (bonus action dash move)
Smon: Drak you are currently hiding behind a pillar just in from the open doors; you could shoot at it then move back through the doors if you like.
joriandrake: ok, but it would still be only 20 feet from me, no?
joriandrake: Drakhaien is very delicate (low hp) so I wather prefer a long distance shooting spot if there is one
joriandrake: rather*
joriandrake: if you say this is the best possible location though then so be it
Smon: You can shoot then move so I don't understand your issue
Smon: Yes the pillar gives you cover vs any reactions
joriandrake: my issue: I believe this creature caused that madness wind, so I believe it has a huge area of effect sou d/air attack, which is why I try to get away at least 90+ feet from it
JamesDevil: We won't know till we try, hyst attack
joriandrake: ok, Drakh moves/hides,moves/shoots/moves into cover again
Smon: To get 90' away you'd have to flee east towards the sphinx statue at the other end of the hall
joriandrake: in cover/dim lights he hides so Stealth roll
Smon: roll to hit pls, you have advantage (passive per 18)
joriandrake rolls 1d20+15 and gets: 1, (+15) = 16

Keelia: I haven't used that in a while and my air form is resistant so even if I electrocute myself, it's not too bad
Smon: OK lightning flashes from high above
joriandrake: let's hope it is not immune to lightning

Smon: Drak what do you do?
DESTROYERBILL: great your leaving me to die your such a hero
joriandrake: (this might be due to language barrier but I have a hard time to imagine the enemy's combat, in old video games / RPG maker games sometimes a bug happens where all enemies of same type are packed on the same spot on screen, you think as fight starts you only battle 1 enemy bnut there are many stacked on same location, I currently imagine this is how we fight this tentacled vacuum cleaner as well)
JamesDevil: BILL I AM ON 34/259

Smon: Yes that is basically right J

JamesDevil: I DON'T HAVE THE TOUGH FEAT FOR STARTERS
JamesDevil: soz
joriandrake: If I can see it I can shoot it, but sure, I doN't mind a reverse sequence, first attack then flee
DESTROYERBILL: still 295

JamesDevil: "I'm just gonna sit down here for a minute"
JamesDevil: 2 Str for me I think
joriandrake: "...are we sure the other 6 versions of it doN't return later?"
Keelia: Q drifts over. "Soft voices, please. I found a secret passage and there's something icky sounding behind it."
Keelia: "I can recognise a plane shift. Unless it has a way to plane shift itself back, which I doubt, it can only be summoned back."
Keelia: "Also, bandages would be a good thing."
JamesDevil: are we going to short rest up the shaft?

joriandrake: Elusive: Beginning at 18th level, no attack roll has advantage against you while you aren't incapacitated. >>> this is what I got on level 18, still no level 4 spell slot, that only comes on level 19
