Keelia: technically it means adult sheep
Keelia: as opposed to lamb
Upper_Krust: morning everyone
chris107: M will nibble on a cornflake and some dust. Got to watch her figure. Also if it's morning her magical ring will recharge a d3?
Keelia: morning!
chris107: Good morning!
JamesDevil: there are sheep in D&D right? i'm guessing they are crazy powerful!
chris107: Like 1e Herd Animals..
Smon: End of last sesh in Sheila's garden: >>Smon: Sheila nods to Drakhaien. "I'll talk to the Mayor about that. I'm sure the Pathfinder Society can make a generous donation."
joriandrake: (That exists but those feats are mainly from the Unearthed Arcana, or maybe a couple rare ones like Prodigy from Xanathar's)
Smon: (end at 11.30)
Keelia: I guess I'll take Skilled anyway. My prof bonus is good so it will help my skills over all
joriandrake: (I am using Xanathar spells and feats, maybe Simon lets you take some of those as boon)
Smon: Sheila: "Currently we don't know if Xin has arisen. Worst case would be that a Runelord has taken control of his forces..."
Smon: Sheila: "That Kraken-thing recognised you, Lady Malassandra?"
chris107: "Aye, we must not let Xin fall into the hands of the upstarts."
joriandrake: "Worst case might also be Xin being sume god-powered Lich"
joriandrake: some*
chris107: "It did, though I know not why."
joriandrake: "If Xin's power was sensed on the construct scrap that is a risk we have to consider as possibility"<<
JamesDevil: so, lets go kill us some robots
chris107: recharges
chris107 rolls 1d3 and gets: 1
chris107: Ring now on 2 charges.
JamesDevil: rolling hd
JamesDevil rolls 2d12+7 and gets: 8, 7, (+7) = 22
chris107: Swaping the Sihedron between battles heals all our wounds?
JamesDevil: exactly the right amout
chris107: and gets the characters slick at passing it..
Keelia: wind walk will get us there in about 3 hours, so make sure you have all that you need
JamesDevil: Ready to go
chris107: 1 have one 3rd and one 5th level spell slots left
Smon: GM: Fergus said he'll be here 9am so I'll assume Sandor is with you. Also Drakhaien.
7:39am 2019-8-10 joriandrake Has entered the room
Smon: Hi J!
joriandrake: hello
chris107: Morning Jorian
JamesDevil: yo
Upper_Krust: howdy
joriandrake: Sorry I was a bit late, prepared the containers for when I have to leave for the meal
joriandrake: UK you join us today?
Smon: GM: You can use the Sihedron to fast heal up to 60 hp/round each by my count, so you can definitely recover all hp overnight.
Upper_Krust: yes
joriandrake: Upper:Krust... I jsut realized UK might not be a good idea to use with so manny British here
Smon: UK is playing the crystral-winged aarakocra monk agaiin.
DESTROYERBILL: we have 5 british people in the party
joriandrake: WIll Krust be a permanent member or just as long he's visiting there?
chris107: Mallixandra (using the Azlanti spelling there) 184/184 HP
DESTROYERBILL: 9:
DESTROYERBILL: (:
Upper_Krust: just visiting
JamesDevil: just flying in
Upper_Krust: back home on Tuesday
Smon: GM: Quillax casts Wind Walk (cross off spelll slot) and Sheila bids you farewell as you turn into misty clouds and rise out of the Heidmarch manor garden and head west, passing over the great ruined arch of the Irespan and out into open waters.
Smon: Malassandra has a slightly odd feeling, as if she had a dream she can't quite remember. Some lost memory triggered by the encounter with Aureusa, perhaps.
chris107: Coupled with her excitement of maybe seeing Xin again this makes her somewhat distracted..
chris107: still here?
Keelia: at least as wind in the sky its hard to crash in to anything - except birds
Smon: Three hours later you reach the region of ocean 100 miles out to sea, where dark storm clouds roil in an otherwise sunny sky. Passing beneath the clouds you see ahead an incredible sight - land, newly risen from the sea - in fact it seems to be still rising! At the centre of the new islands is a great palace of crystal - the legendary Crystal Palace of Xin! But where in Malassandra's time it was shining white - before being destroyed in the cataclysm that tore apart the Sihedron on Xin's death - now, reformed, it is a dull glossy black.
chris107:
Keelia: ominous
Smon: Prepare for a big text dump...
chris107: "Well that's not good..."
JamesDevil: nah, it will be total cool guys
JamesDevil: nothing ever happens in creepy places like this
JamesDevil: nothing BAD anyway
chris107:
Smon: Xin iSlAnd feAtureS The cluster of islands that rise with Xin’s palace compose a ruined wasteland of long-collapsed buildings, crumbling tower tops, and disintegrating archways. Strange sites abound on the islands, and everywhere looms the distinctive interplay of spherical and linear designs that is the hallmark of the Azlanti architecture Xin used to design his city. Dead and dying sea life litters the islands, and crabs scuttle in all directions to feast on the bounty. Starfish cling futilely to long-toppled columns, and spiny barnacles and dying but razor-sharp coral encrust collapsed walls and old, broken spires, making even casual investigation of ruins onerous. The stench of decay is overbearing.
Smon: Beyond the ruins, very little ornamentation or evidence of ancient habitation remains. Centuries on the sea floor, looting by aquatic denizens, the island’s recent rise, and ages of erosion have wiped away most of the treasures that once rested in the depths. While some of the facades are remarkably well preserved, the fact is that most ruins are but empty shells of the former domiciles, with layers of coral and urchin beds obscuring the old buildings’ original use and purpose. But even time can’t wash everything away, and discerning eyes can detect hints of the city’s former magnificence. Shattered glass globes covered in barnacles still hover along cracked sidewalks, where they once provided illumination. Likewise, stone benches and broken machinery of an indeterminate nature float in place, and old library collections, their holdings now little more than corroded bronze plates, orbit lazily around shelves and statues long lost.
Smon: Over all looms the dark shard of the Crystal Palace. The apex of the jagged black spire smolders with thick, dark smoke, and embers and sharp crystal flakes shed from its surface. Other than jagged crags, the spire boasts no window or doors beyond a single grand archway that provides entry into the imposing structure.
chris107: "Ah Xin. How I have dreamed of seeing you again. But not like this...." She trails off sadly.
Smon: The door:
A tall, broad archway grown of crystal stands at the base of the palace. The door the archway frames bears no hinge, lock, or knob—only an unbroken sheet of pockmarked black crystal bars the way into the palace’s interior.
Keelia: Q drifts down to examine it
JamesDevil: Claw will join her
chris107: M too
joriandrake: still reading
chris107: Trying to keep as many of us as possible within her protective aura.
Upper_Krust: Keravon flies down
DESTROYERBILL: ill float down as well
Smon: GM: You drift down to look at the door - let me know if you are assuming solid form/landing.
JamesDevil: solid for Claw
DESTROYERBILL: ill go solid
Upper_Krust: Keravon can hover for now
Keelia: Q will go solid as she can take air elemental form quickly
Keelia: if necessary
JamesDevil: "hmm"
chris107: Looking for a safe place to land, away from sharp corals or slippery urchins, M lands and becomes solid.
JamesDevil: Claw will walk up to the 'Door' and touch it
JamesDevil: i know it not a door but you know what i mean
chris107: Does M have any memory of the door?
JamesDevil: Does anything happen?
Keelia: Q sighs "Surely you have learned by now not to just touch random doors."
chris107: How it opens, if it is guarded or trapped etc.
Smon: You land or hover and become solid. The black crystal door shows no way to enter. Claw touches the pockmarked crystal door - it feels faintly warm, and he senses a thrumming of energies deep within. Malassandra recalls that servants within - or Xin - would open it on her approach; oherwise it will likely take titanic strength or powerful magic to force open.
chris107: You chaps okay if I try?
JamesDevil: "lets try it together"
Keelia: Does crystal count as worked or unworked stone? It 'grows' after all
JamesDevil: (this will end so well, a D&D group defaeated by a door)
Smon: It has definitely been 'worked'.
chris107: M nods and walks towards the crystal door ...
Keelia: thanks
Smon: GM: Those of you with PP 20+ see several figures rising from a pool of water off to the southwest...
JamesDevil: 22pp here
joriandrake: Drakhaien points them out silently in his mask
chris107: M hesitates in her advance once warned of the figures.
Keelia: Q takes water elemental form and calls out a greeting.
JamesDevil: Claw will take his eyes off the door and look over tio the figures
Keelia: (or rather bubbles out a greeting in aquan)
JamesDevil: Claw calls out in common
JamesDevil: "greeting, are you friend or foe?"
chris107: M in the language of ancient Xin.
Smon: Handsome male humanoid figures carrying tridents - gills at their necks - Gillmen!
chris107: (If none of the others work )
Smon: https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/assets/254329/Gillman.jpg?1383153335
JamesDevil: do they appear to be hostile? or are they just standing there?
joriandrake: Drakhaien investigates their mannerism / bodly language and equipment to see if they are hostile or have something to hide
Smon: They are just walking towards you, not overtly hostile, but seem to understand Mal & Quillax. One answers in archaic Azlanti/Thassilonian. "Hail! What doest thou here?"
8:07am 2019-8-10 sandor sunneson Has entered the room
Smon: Roll Insight Drak
JamesDevil: Hi San
Smon: OOC I'll post log so far for Fergus

sandor sunneson: Morning all
Smon: ok roll Investigation Drak
Upper_Krust: Hey Fergus
Smon: Their manner seems open.
Keelia: Q retakes human form and answers in Thassilonian, "Greetings. We have come to investigate the rising of this land."
joriandrake: Passive Investigation 31 All hail the elven detective
chris107: wow
Keelia: (morning Ferg)
Smon: Drak realises there's something not right about the 3 Gillmen - they are Illusions!
Keelia: "There was a great disturbance in the water and we traced the source to here."
Smon: They are currently about 60' away, walking towards you.
chris107: (Hmmmm illusions again......)
Smon: Gillman: "Xin has risen..."
joriandrake: Drakh alerty the others in his mask to this silently by throwing quickly a couple pebbles at them and taking ab attle stance, looking around to find the ilusionist
JamesDevil: Claw doesn't understand ofc
JamesDevil: "what are you all saying?"
JamesDevil: "are they enemies?"
Keelia: Q leans over - "They are asking our intentions."
Keelia: "Although, perhaps it is not they who are asking seeing as Drak has just thrown a pebble through them."
Smon: The pool - more of a long trench - they rose from is 100' from you to the south, palace is in front of you to west.
joriandrake: (I wear my mask that has the disadvantage ofnot being able to speak in it, so I thre rocks at the illusions)
chris107: M looks around once D has alerted us.. Shield ready to defend against magical assault.
Keelia: "Show yourself!" She calls out, placing her back to Claw's.
JamesDevil: Claw will looks around searching for other signs of creatures
Smon: GM: Drak roll to hit (DEX+prof, disad for range)
sandor sunneson: Sandor will look around with his eagle eyes to see if there is anytning of detail that could be of interest, also gets his sword ready as others are on alert
Keelia: (doesn't drak have some sort of telepathic magic?)
joriandrake: (Message - but it also requires speech to cast)
Smon: >>I wear my mask that has the disadvantage ofnot being able to speak in it<< That seems like a pretty terrible idea!

sandor sunneson: to Quillax
Keelia: Cool - ok, I have it
Smon: Quillax has it by default as she was first to attune to it in the reforging ceremony.
joriandrake: (remember we can pass it with a reaction)

JamesDevil: can i see any eneimes?

JamesDevil: least the illusions are gone
JamesDevil: so, end turn
Smon: Drak you just make out very large dark forms under the water in the trench 100' to the south.

sandor sunneson: lol, not feeling it today
Smon: You don't spot anything, and Drak can't warn you as he is speechless!
sandor sunneson: is there anything to attack in the area? If not he'll go and move over to Claw getting ready for next round
joriandrake: (11 I doN't think is enough for noticing Drakhaien looking at a specific location either)
8:29am 2019-8-10 chris107 Has exited the room

chris107: Readies an attack for when they resurface.
Smon: ok - stay at 70' or close to 40'?
chris107: (@ DM would Cleansing Touch banish the possession?)
chris107: stay at 70' please.
chris107: (Not sure if sandor and Claw would be 'willing')
Smon: where is cleansing touch from?
9:13am 2019-8-10 Keelia Has exited the room
Smon: They won't be willing while enslaved no!
chris107: Paladin level 14 ability
chris107: No worries, was worth asking
9:14am 2019-8-10 Keelia Has entered the room
Smon: #8 Quillax your go
9:15am 2019-8-10 Keelia Has exited the room
9:16am 2019-8-10 Keelia Has entered the room
Keelia: At level 4. I believe you said the area was stormy?
Keelia: The water should be conductive and the lightning hit everything in it...
Smon: Yes the dark clouds mean you could call lighting w enhanced effect, also those in water have disad on save vs lightning
#7 Silrus flies over the pool ca 45' up, sees the dark forms below...
chris107: nice
JamesDevil: did Q get her turn?
Smon: Quillax are you doing call lightning on the wounded one?
Keelia: Yes, but the general idea is the water (and everything in it)
JamesDevil: me included ^^
Smon: Looks to me Q you will need to bonus action to Air Elemental to fly up to see scene then action cast call lightning ok?
Keelia: sounds good.
Keelia: (yep, sorry James )
Smon: It only gets a 10' area so only 1 of them
JamesDevil: no worries
Smon: Crack! lightning lances down
Keelia: ok, she'll target the damaged one and if any electricity should be conducted through the water, well
Keelia rolls 5d10 and gets: 10, 9, 6, 5, 9, = 39

joriandrake: (OK, I I've read up on this... and it might not be a good idea to sneak into the water among all the lightning after all, even if I doN't need to breath)
chris107: YAY!
DESTROYERBILL: begone thots
Smon: They both flicker and vanish!
JamesDevil: hurray!
DESTROYERBILL: its a meme
joriandrake: We fight thots now? as in Egyptian Thot?
JamesDevil: now you must beat the legendary barbarians! mohahaha
Keelia: (Thot is a derogatory word for women, implying they are whores. It's nothing to do with Egypt)
JamesDevil: i think we've been forgetting to pass the shehedron
chris107: yup
Keelia: Well, I can't pass it to half the team as they are mind controlled...
Smon: Next round #22 enslaved Claw clambers out of the water - what is Garvok's throw range?
chris107:
JamesDevil: fair enough
Keelia: and others are not part of the sihedron group...
JamesDevil: eh? i got enslaved by one of the banished ones, surely its 1 mile away now?
Smon: I think all of you are attuned to Sihedron currently
JamesDevil: Garvok is 25' range
Smon: Yeah, if it stays 1+ mile away then after 24 hours you get a save Claw!
Keelia: Smon: You are enslaved indefinitely - you would get a save after 24 hours if at least 1 mile from the aboleth
JamesDevil: ffs
joriandrake: so glad I'm hidden
JamesDevil: well eitherway i can't hit anyone at this range
JamesDevil: so what do i do?
Smon: Claw charges up to Malassandra, roaring & waving Garvok (end turn)

Smon: Sandor turns from the water's edge, runs past Drak's hiding place and also reaches Malassandra, death in his eyes (end turn)
joriandrake: (what type of barbarians are our fellows? Archetype I mean)
JamesDevil: I'll remain quiet, sijnce making suggestion on how to enslave/hold me would be unfair
JamesDevil: unenslave*
chris107: (M chooses Generosity)
JamesDevil: Bear and wolf
JamesDevil: plus i have a fiery exploding sword
Smon: The wounded aboleth shoots its mm launcher up at Silrus from under the water - 3 missiles
DESTROYERBILL: i use shield
JamesDevil: ...you probably want to solve this problem quickly, plus there is still the Abolith floating around
joriandrake: can this trigger Drakh's shot?
joriandrake: if I see a tiny bot of tentacle?
joriandrake: bit
Smon: No, it stayed under the water & fired force bolts vertically up J.
joriandrake: k
Smon: It was trying to disrupt the Banishment
9:32am 2019-8-10 chris107 Has exited the room
joriandrake: Silrus got it handled with Shield anyway
9:33am 2019-8-10 chris107 Has entered the room
Smon: 2 aboleth are banished, incapacitated so can't give fresh orders to their mind slaves - Claw & Sandor will try to kill Mal until banishment ends, presumably
Smon: #17 Keravon
JamesDevil: so, 10 turn right?
Smon: 10 rounds
JamesDevil: ...also if mine was banished before my turn doesn't that mean i never got ordered to attack the group?
Upper_Krust: ready to attack if it surfaces
Smon: They gave instructions on their turn not yours, Claw
Smon: Keravon flaps around, bow readied
JamesDevil: ...great
Smon: #16 Drakhaien
Smon: BRB
joriandrake: so, situation is that I see no aboleths, but enraged and controlled barbarians?
JamesDevil: yep
JamesDevil: fair fight huh?
sandor sunneson: So the barbs are basically NPCs?
joriandrake: I'll summon Nightgaunts, 1d4+1 using the black, horned nightgaunt mask that has two eyeholes but no other facial features, I will roll and wait then until DM is back
joriandrake rolls 1d4+1 and gets: 3, (+1) = 4
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+9 and gets: 14, (+9) = 23

Smon: #10 Malassandra
sandor sunneson: I know it's part of the game blah blah blah, but not really happy about attacking fellow PCs,
chris107: Seeing the mighty Claw and Sandor bearing down upon her she uses the power of Generosity to Polymorph into Giant Eagle form. Reaction the Sihedron to Quillax, healing her a further 20HP then flies up 160'. End turn.
joriandrake: I didn't finish
sandor sunneson: Lol, nice one Chris
chris107:
joriandrake: The Nightgaunts are commanded 2-2 to go and grapple the barbarians with the order to bite at them while carrying them away

chris107:
JamesDevil: its ok, i got you mate
joriandrake: (telepathic command to them to focus on Sandor now and let Claw alone - I believe Drakh has keen enough senses to notice dominance wore off, depending on DM discretion)
Smon: #10 Malassandra - you see Claw looking a bit dazed, 2 nightgaunts are trying to lift him but he's too heavy (needs 3 as he counts as Large)
JamesDevil: Claw will look gleefully at Sandor >:)
chris107: hris107: Seeing the mighty Claw and Sandor bearing down upon her she uses the power of Generosity to Polymorph into Giant Eagle form. Reaction the Sihedron to Quillax, healing her a further 20HP then flies up 160'. End turn.

Smon: The dead fish monster floats up to the surface.
JamesDevil: Claw swims up
JamesDevil: "that was....unpleasent"
joriandrake: ... .I had the idea of ordering the nightgaunts to get under water and attack the aboleth based on the Pathfider stats which says they are Faceless (no need to breath, immune to gaze/sight attacks and all inhaled effect, and got blindsight 60ft) but not sure if the ones Simon uses also have these, and I don't want them to suffocate or so... but you jsut killed it before my turn anyway
Smon: 2 of its tentacles have weird aboleth bracers, a third the MM launcher.
chris107: very nice
Smon: GM: You have some time (7 rnds) before Banishment ends & the other 2 reappear in the trench.
joriandrake: Drakhaien nods at the others with respect as they surface
JamesDevil: misread that, i thought it was ML missile launcher
JamesDevil:
chris107: we need a plan...
joriandrake: Drakhain goes take a good snipe position to hide and shoot from again
Smon: So you could eg try to get through the door, or get ready for their reappearance
joriandrake: (We doN't have to wait the 7 turns out, it can be ended earlier yes? the summon only has a 11 turn duration)
chris107: M becomes Improved Invisible, passes the S to M
Keelia: (I still have lightning going for 10 minutes, so if everyone wants to get out of mind control range, we can just drop lightning on them for a while
chris107: 184/184HP
chris107: good plan
Smon: I still have lightning going for 10 minutes, so if everyone wants to get out of mind control range, we can just drop lightning on them for a while - Very good plan

joriandrake: Drakh*
JamesDevil: I'd rather they stay banished,
JamesDevil: brb
joriandrake: He is going to hide as best he can in a max 600 feet distance from the water
Smon: GM: You all retreat well away from the aboleths - round the back of the palace is good - except Q in air elemental form
joriandrake: (Probably we don't have to be that far from them anyway)
chris107: (M currently 95' from the water?)
chris107: Note for log. remember to get bracers and wand next week.
JamesDevil: back
Smon: Knowing they won't stay banished long, Q-lemental watches from a safe distance; also Silrus flies beside her w readied chain lightning.
