ep 110 22/3/4720 Beyond the Burning Skies - Quillax Saves the Universe!
Rune Giants
Simon N. (GM):I managed to research it! Rolled 20 on investigate! :D
ok can you see it says "Giants"? :D
Chris T.:yes
Quillax:in blue
Simon N. (GM):Good >:)
When you come round the corner, you see the 4 cloud giants & a storm giant waiting for you in the guard room, grinning evilly.
Chris T.:"Go!Leave now while you may!"
Claw:Claw steps forwaord
"Leave"
Simon N. (GM):Storm Giant Warden of Thunder, in Common: "Welcome, little ones. We are to escort you to the Commander immediately."
Claw:"hmm...."
Simon N. (GM):These ones can't be Intimidated, sadly.
Chris T.:"Oh... That's very kind of you."
Claw:"very well"
Claw whispers back to the others
Simon N. (GM):"Good."
Eldrin Ætherwood:"could i get a wine as well, very parched you see" Eldrin Grinning cheekily.
Claw:"its a trap obviously, but don't let on"
Simon N. (GM):A cloud giant steps forward, moving past you to the great double doors, which he throws open...
Chris T.:Mal casts freedom of movement on herself.
Simon N. (GM):ok
Chris T.:Not wishing to get grappled by over friendly giants
Simon N. (GM):The leading giant gestures for you to follow him into the corridor.
Claw:Claw follows
Chris T.:M too,
Eldrin Ætherwood:Same
Quillax:Q readies herself to respond to any attack with a produce flame but otherwise follows
Simon N. (GM):"The ceiling of this curving hallway rises to an arch
some fifty feet above. Curving to the west, the hall ends at a particularly immense pair of double
doors that appear to be made of gold. Two storm giants flank the great doors.
Chris T.:M Whispers.. "Whatare goodlyStorm Giants doing here serving the forces of evil?"
Simon N. (GM):The other four giants follow you out into the corridor.
GM: You met storm giants serving Karzoug before at Urglin, Shieldbiter duelled one of them.
Eldrin Ætherwood:"good and evil are subjective, perhaps they don't view them as evil?"
Chris T.:ah, beforem'stime
Simon N. (GM):Quillax knows that the Runelords created Rune Giants who could control all lesser giants. Including storm.
Quillax:She whispers that to Mal and Eldrin
Chris T.:thanks
Eldrin Ætherwood:"ah interesting.."
Simon N. (GM):All the giants are wearing heavy rune-plate armour.
Claw would need to roll a 3! :-O
Claw:Claw just thinks to himself,how far they have fallen
>:)
Simon N. (GM):The giants shepherd you down the hall towards the golden doors...
Quillax:(I've been watching too much Avatar the last Air Bender - tv not the dreadful movie - and all I can think of is as a fire elemental, surely I can create lightning that doesn't need a storm and metal is a very good conductor :D )
Eldrin Ætherwood:"Feels like we are being hearded like cattle"
Claw:ah Acatat, awesome series
Avatar*
Chris T.:(Kyle loves that series)
Quillax:(If I die, I want to create an Aang type character, monk with magic, tattoos the whole shebang and be able to manipulate all the elements.)
Claw:OOC theres a subclass for that
Quillax:(excellent :) )
Claw:"it doesn't matter how we get there, all that does matter is getting to the leader
"
Chris T.:M feels ahead with her paladin senses.. any feeling of undead,demons or devils?
Simon N. (GM):As you near the doors, the Storm Wardens throw them open - the light from beyond is near-blinding...
Eldrin Ætherwood:"the how is very relevent at this moment"\
Whinces
Simon N. (GM):The interior of this dazzling chamber is awash in
golden light—it shines from every gem, every
strip of gold, and every silver-inlaid wall carving,
creating a kaleidoscope of color and riches. The
checkerboard pattern on the floor is interrupted
in a twenty-foot-wide path from the northeastern
Simon N. (GM):doors to a throne on a dais of onyx to the southwest
by a path of what appear to be countless rubies,
forming a “red carpet” of sorts to the throne itself.
This throne, if possible, makes the rest of the
chamber’s extravagance seem pale and poor, for
it is made of shining gold, diamonds, rubies, and
Simon N. (GM):sapphires, and draped with shimmering, glowing
furs from unrecognizable creatures. Two 40' tall Rune Giants flank the throne, skin like pitted iron, and on it lounges the golden-armoured figure of Viorian Dekanti, Commander of the Armies of Shalast and Voice of Karzoug. A scarlet drape on the wall behind her looks a little bulgy, as if something or someone was hanging on the wall there.
Viorian laughs delightedly. The drape falls away, revealing the naked figure of the blonde Pathfinder sorceress Seoni hanging in chains 12' off the ground. She looks semi-conscious.
Simon N. (GM):The Rune Giants' flesh glows with red runes like molten iron.
Claw:"So this gonna be between you and us? or will you boys outside join in?"
Simon N. (GM):Viorian: "Welcome, puny champions of Varisia." Her voice sounds harsh and masculine, and her eyes flash green, a sign of Karzoug's possession.
"Do you come to serve, or to perish? In either case, you should know of your utter failure..."
GM: The giants are ushering you in and coming in behind you.
Quillax:"A rather provacative choice for a wall piece," Q comments dryly. "I think she rather clashes with the decor... Karzoug, your choice of a Voice is disappointingly unimaginative."
Chris T.:(Have you guys tried dispel magic or remove curse to get rid of rune lord possession before?)
Claw:OOC did Claw ever hear the voice when he wielded the sword of gluttony?
Simon N. (GM):You (Q&K) heard Karzoug speak through Viorian previously.
Viorian/Karzoug laughs at Q's quip. "Indeed."
Claw:"Ah, always good to put a voice to a face, so your the one I ripped the sword from right?
Quillax:Q considers the room - identifying where the giants are in relation to the pillars of the room. Are the pillars stone?
Claw:If you have chosen another similar one, then this will be a short fight"
Simon N. (GM):V/K: "What sword?" Viorian produces Chellan, Sword of Greed. "It was easy to recall the blade to its ancient loyalty."
Claw:-.-
"sigh"
Simon N. (GM):GM: The pillars are stone, yup.
Eldrin Ætherwood:Eldrin whispers to Mal "Claw sure loves to provoke these giants, huh?"
Chris T.:"He's rather good at it..."
Eldrin Ætherwood:Nods
Claw:"Ok Viorian we seem to havge gotten off on the wrong foot"
Simon N. (GM):V/K: "Shortly, your foolish friends in Magnimar will annihilate the rabble I sent there. The energy released will free me from the Eye. And as I step through, the ancient Time Device will bring forth the ancient armies of Thassilon to this era. Your world will be mine - all of it!"
Quillax:"Oh, we're at the explanations of the plan - I thought were were only at the part where we say 'release Seoni'," Q mutters
Claw:"Right, now we are onto something!"
Simon N. (GM):"Oh, and do not bother trying to escape - the Pinnacle iis fully warded. You are entirely in my grasp."
Claw:"so we kill you, your plan fails"
Quillax:"Ancient time device?" Q asks. "A Leng device, by any chance?"
Claw:smn Have the two Rune giants moved?
Simon N. (GM):To Claw: "Indeed... You are welcome to try to kill me, slave. Better than you have tried and failed."
Eldrin Ætherwood:"oh here we go.."
Claw:"Get down here then"
Simon N. (GM):The Rune Giants are watching you, ready for battle.
Claw:"its easier than me having to clime my way up"
Quillax:Q rests a hand on Claw's arm. "We don't have to bother," she says loudly. "He'll just time splice himself. The Leng spirits said the device was missing a vital piece."
Simon N. (GM):Viorian descends lightly from the throne.
Claw:"ah, I see"
Chris T.:M whispers, shouldn't we try and drive Karzoug's spirit from the bold Giant?"
Quillax:"Let's go. I don't want to be anywhere near this area when he splices himself."
Simon N. (GM):She (who is human BTW) raises Chellan. "Now, kneel to Karzoug, or Perish."
Quillax:Q waves her hand dismissively. "No, we'll just head out to watch. The explosion will be spectacular without the piece. I think the next mountain over will be a good viewing."
Eldrin Ætherwood:Looks very confused to whats happening
Simon N. (GM):GM: Are you talking loudly enough for Viorian to hear?
Chris T.:M TOO
Quillax:(yes)
(but only just :) )
Simon N. (GM):Viorian/Karzoug stops. "By the Peacock Spirit. what are you talking about?!"
Karzoug sounds annoyed and a little concerned.
Eldrin Ætherwood:Eldrin turns to Mal "q wants to watch fireworkds, Claw wants to take on the whole citidal.. Am i missing something?"
Quillax:"What? Oh, nothing!" Q waves her hands. "Nothing at all."
Claw:"I smell fear..."
Quillax:"It's just that we need to be elsewhere. Rather urgently."
Chris T.:"You know as much as me.."
Eldrin Ætherwood:Nods
Quillax:"At least a mountain over," she uses the just loud enough voice to the others.
Claw:"but Q is right, the show should be SPECTACTULAR"
Simon N. (GM):Karzoug's voice is louder now, no trace of Viorian: "You claim the Leng Device has been sabotaged?! How? By whom?"
Quillax:"You go ahead, use the Device."
"Sabotaged? No!" Q scoffs.
"I'm sure it's just fine. You go ahead. We're going to head out. I mean, I'm sure that there are no Leng two-leggers within your ranks. You're fine."
Simon N. (GM):Karzoug: "The Folk of Leng have..." he/she breaks off, frowning.
Quillax:"And of course, no dissodent giants."
"It's not an issue, anyway. Just have to be elsewhere."
Simon N. (GM):OK Q roll Persuasion w advtg please
Claw:Claw turns to the other Giants
Quillax:Same just-low-enough-voice. "Need some sunglasses."
Eldrin Ætherwood:"....What?"
Claw:"you truly have fallen so far" as he shakes his head
Quillax:Q touches herself with guidance and hopes to hell

Simon N. (GM):20 is good :)
Karzoug: "You... Quillax of Wolf's Ear... not unskilled in arcane engineering, by the standards of this wretched age. I require you to come with me to the Leng Device."
Quillax:"Well, I mean, I suppose I could," she shrugs.
"I am a Mechanic Druid, I would probably be able to identify if there's an issue."
Simon N. (GM):"You shall." Karzoug pauses, then for once speaks in almost solicitous tone. "I...may have spoken a little hastily. If... if it is true. If I have been betrayed, and you are the ones to secure my triumph... then I will be in your debt. The gratitude of Karzoug is no small thing."
Quillax:Q considers. "Very well."
Simon N. (GM):The Rune Giants are looking pretty gobsmacked at this turn of events.
Quillax:"Bring me to the device and I will see if it has been tampered with"
Simon N. (GM):Viorian/Karzoug nods. "The Engineers... they will need to be dealt with." He/she turns to the rest of you. "You three come with us. Giants, wait here."
"Oh... and take that one down."
He/she waves to a Rune Giant, who releases the chains & lowers Seoni to the floor, where she lies in a heap.
Chris T.:"May I?"
Simon N. (GM):Seoni: "owww..."
Chris T.:Mal lays hands on her for 25HP
Simon N. (GM):Karzoug: "If your words are true you may have her back as part of your reward."
Seoni's eyes flutter open and she looks gratefully up at Mal. "Thanks..."
GM: She still has several levels of Exhaustion & too weak to move.
Claw:Claw lifts her up onto his shoulder
Eldrin Ætherwood:Eldrin pulls out a blanket from his gear to drape over her naked body.
"I'ts not much... but it will at least allow some modesty"
Simon N. (GM):Eldrin drapes Seoni (there is a big red drape nearby) and Viorian waves for you to follow her down the side tunnel, Chellan drawn.
Seoni: "Th-thanks." she clutches the blanket.
Claw:"You know me and that sword have a bit of an relationship too" Claw gestures to it with Gorvak
Simon N. (GM):Viorian heads down the tunnel, you following?
Quillax:Q strides after Viorian.
She waves the others to keep up.
Claw:Claw follows
Chris T.:yes
Simon N. (GM):Passing double doors on the left and a single door on the right, you head down the long 40' high tunnel, footsteps echoing in the vastness.
Claw:OOC just has a flash of lightning here guys incase I drop
Simon N. (GM):Viorian/Karzoug waves at the door, it opens and he/she leads you through into an antechamber.
Two vast double doors, each ten feet in width,
stand in the southern wall of this barren chamber.
The face of each black stone door is covered with
tens of thousands of tiny runes carved in an eerie,
spidery script. The runes seem to writhe and
Simon N. (GM):slither about when not under direct observation.
Quillax:Q follows, watching the runes out of the corner of her eye. She signals the others to stay closer.
Simon N. (GM):Karzoug speaks smugly: "Aklo doors. You would never have been able to penetrate them. I. on the other hand..."
Karzoug/Viorian touches the doors and they swing silently open, revealing..
The plain stone walls of this long room are lined by
a variety of tables, boxes, crates, and cylinders. Some
are made of stone, but others appear to be composed
of metal. Strange winding cables protrude from some
Simon N. (GM):to connect to others. All of this clutter seems to focus
upon a large metal framework constructed at the
southern end of the room, where strange currents
of energy dance and shimmer within a strange ring
of stone. Now and then, these currents coalesce into
shapes—images startling for their familiarity and
Simon N. (GM):yet totally alien. The image revealed is of a massive
city of towers and gigantic monuments set in a
mountain valley at the foot of a huge peak—Xin-
Shalast, as it would appear from this high mountain
vista. The city beyond the energy curtain is very
different, however, in that its towers and buildings
Simon N. (GM):are ablaze with light both magical and mundane and
the great central road and surrounding streets teem
with tens of thousands of giants and humanoids of
all descriptions. The sounds and even the smells of
this strange metropolis waft through the image—an
image that is, perhaps, trying to be an open window.
Simon N. (GM):A dozen robed figures appear to be working on the device - Folk of Leng.
Quillax:Q nods to herself, "May I?" she waves towards the device.
Chris T.:afk 1 min
Simon N. (GM):The Leng Folk bow silently and move back.
Viorian nods, waving Q onward.
Claw:Claw stands next to Viorian/Karzoug and eyes the Folk of Leng suspiciously
Simon N. (GM):Anyone passive insight 20+?
Quillax:Q does.
Simon N. (GM):Or Claw can roll Insight
The Folk of Leng seem distinctly nervoud to Q.

Chris T.:back
Simon N. (GM):Quillax inspects the device. It appears tuned to a day in the age of high Thassilon, as the image shows. Just as Karzoug claims - once the device is activated a gate will open from that day to this.
Quillax roll either Arcana or Engineer's Tools (advtg as usual)

ah, only a 1 :D
Simon N. (GM):There is a subtle flaw in the system - a redirection.
And a rechanneling.
It starts to become clear. The device will activate at the moment of Karzoug's return. yes.. but not to the Age of Thassilon!
Rather it will form a gateway to a time vastly earlier, perhaps millions of years in the past.
There are numerous similarities between the stone
ring at the center of the Leng Device and the much larger
Simon N. (GM):ring of stone located in the Varisian city of Magnimar—
as if both devices were built by similar hands
The 12 denizens of Leng working here are
in the process of fine-tuning the device. Vaguely human
shaped, these monsters appear to wear twitching yellow
robes, turbans, and veils. When they attack, these robes
Simon N. (GM):part to reveal horned heads, hoofed feet, and monstrously
toothy maws.
Quillax:Q isn't sure she would like Karzoug to have millions of years to prepare... are there people at that time period or would he die alone?
Simon N. (GM):The device won't send Karzoug there. It is set to bring something from THERE to HERE... something VERY big. As they release Quillax is on to them, the Leng Folk strike!
Passive per?
Quillax:"Traitors!" she howls
24, I think
Claw:24 :P
Chris T.:Some great old one of Leng?
Claw:(you's will be higher Keelia
Simon N. (GM):Mal remembers the old legends that Shalast was built atop the Great Old One Mhar, frozen forever as he tried to enter this world...
Quillax:if my default wis is 24, that would make my passive 34 then?
Simon N. (GM):They say the head carved over Xin-Shalast is actuallly the frozen head of Mhar.
Chris T.:"Arrgghh!Mhar's mound!"
Simon N. (GM)::D
GM: Mal is conferring with Quillax when the Leng strike... BRB, got to get their stats :)
Quillax:(so are they trying to summon an old god to destroy the world or stop Karzoug? I'm confused :D )
(or both, I suppose?)
Eldrin Ætherwood:I have no idea whats happening lol
Claw:Basically yes :P
Chris T.:(Using Karzoug's machine to sumon thgeir ancient god..)
Claw:amcient gods usually wake up angry and kill everyone including the ones that summoned them
Quillax:(ok, so everyone in this room that isn't us needs to die. Get Karzoug to sort the Leng out, let the Leng weaken Viorian, and then let's trash her/him)
Claw:see - every film that involes evilm gods
Chris T.:Even more to kill, the leng spiders want this old one summoning to work mostlike?
Quillax:The Leng Spiders do not want this god out :) This is what we're supposed to destroy and the Leng we were supposed to kill for them. Wasn't sure I trusted them.
Claw:sounds good
Simon N. (GM):found em!
Claw:Gimme a crit and this room will be redecorated
Simon N. (GM):sorry they were under "Denizen of Leng" not Leng Folk or Folk of Leng sigh :)
Quillax:(Let me take fire elemental form first :D )
Claw:@smn lo
lol
Simon N. (GM):ok 18+ passive per or surprised, roll init pls
Quillax:(Ah, so we know they are bad, they are denizens and not folk. Folk are usually good, no?)
I cannot be surprised due to Timeglass
Claw:24pp
Quillax:Which means Eldrin also cannot due to the spell
Chris T.:that'sm surprised then
Simon N. (GM):ok

Claw:ah, ignore me as usual then :P
Quillax:"Stop them! They are traitors," she shouts. (Does she know enough about the machines to know what to destroy in order to stop the portal safely?)
Simon N. (GM):they are on 17
Quillax:"They try to summon something to destroy you," she says to Karzoug.
Simon N. (GM):Q does not know a safe way to destroy the device, & it has a lot of failsafe regenerative backups
(it's a major artifact)
However it needs the full power of the Runewell to activate - ie Karzoug's return
Quillax:OK, so she'll fall back to brute force and attack them all with a firestorm. :)
Simon N. (GM):or otherwise harnessing the Great Runewell. Can't just flip a switch.
Quillax:Firestorm - A storm made up of sheets of roaring flame appears in a location you choose within range.
The area of the storm consists of up to ten 10-foot cubes, which you can arrange as you wish. Each cube must have at least one face adjacent to the face of another cube. Each creature in the area must make Dexterity saving throw. It takes 7d10 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
She'll drop fire all over the leng and the device.
Eldrin Ætherwood:Lemme know when we start if i'm first. I'm a little confused on what tf is happening lol
Simon N. (GM):OK rough situation on map, Claw & Eldrin behind the Leng, Q M & V/K on the side by the device
OK fire sweeps over the Leng and the side devices (the main device is behind you)
Quillax:OK, they all need to make dex save against 24

Arcane Tradition
Eldrin Ætherwood Class: Wizard
When you reach 2nd level, you choose an arcane tradition, shaping your practice of magic through one of eight schools: Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy, or Transmutation. The School of Evocation is detailed at the end of the class description, and more choices are available in other sources. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
bonus action
Haste
3rd Level Transmutation
Casting Time:1 action
Range:30ft.
Components:V, S, M (a shaving of licorice root)
Duration:Concentration up to 1 minute
Choose a willing creature that you can see within range. Until the spell ends, the target's speed is doubled, it gains a +2 bonus to AC, it has advantage on Dexterity saving throws, and it gains an additional action on each of its turns. That action can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action. When the spell ends, the target can't move or take actions until after its next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over it.

Simon N. (GM):Round 2...
Eldrin Ætherwood:22. Ok
Simon N. (GM):#23 Quillax your go
Eldrin & Viorian are in melee w the Leng now
Quillax:Q drifts through the fire and goes and gives Claw a little poke with a flamey finger against his belt, just enough to jolt him but not enough to harm him.
Simon N. (GM):so would be hit by a 2nd fire storm. Claw is 40' away, do you want to take 6 opp atts?
Quillax:Sorry, I was trying to figure out why fire storm would hit me for 6 opp attacks :D
I thought I was invisible within the flames
Simon N. (GM):No but a bunch of Leng would
Quillax:(yeah, that took me a minute to put together :D )
Simon N. (GM):The fire storm has gone now
it's Instantaneous
Quillax:Oh yes, it's not a wall of flames, it's a one off, I forgot about that. Q will throw some produce flames then to appear as if she's actively engaging in the fight
Simon N. (GM):Rem if you wound Claw at all he's un-hypno'd?
or you target a wounded Leng?
Quillax:She'll target a wounded Leng unless they seem to be going after Claw?
Simon N. (GM):no they're leaving Claw alone :) ok
you shoot flame at the one Viorian wounded
AC 16
Quillax:(sorry James, but I'm trying to give Claw an excuse not to particpate and let Karzoug burn more spells :)
Claw:no worries :P

Steel Wind Strike
5th Level Conjuration
Casting Time:1 action
Range:30ft.
Components:S, M (a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp)
Duration:Instantaneous
You flourish the weapon used in the casting and then vanish to strike like the wind. Choose up to five creatures you can see within range. Make a melee spell attack against each target. On a hit, a target takes 6d10 force damage. You can then teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 5 feet of one of the targets you hit or missed.
Simon N. (GM):OK your last blow fells the one Quillax wounded as you teleport over there, and you slashed up 4 that were round you to the north, some near dead.
Eldrin Ætherwood:I step over the fallen 1, bolting with blinding speed of my bonus action
Simon N. (GM):You haste strike killed a second one on the way :D
Simon N. (GM):Claw hits one, pinning it. Also killing it :D
Eldrin Ætherwood:Randy savage: You ain't going nooooo where"
Simon N. (GM):The last two flee through the doors at great speed, ignoring Seoni.
Viorian laughs (in female voice): "Leave them! The Rune Giants know to deal with them."
Claw:how is Viorian looking damage wise?
Simon N. (GM):She's unwounded.
GM: OK to go out of combat?
Quillax:(Best we did was burn a few spells)
(yes, for Q's POV)
Claw:well, we are in a room alone with her/him
Chris T.:M watchestheothers for clues
Claw:eout of battle then, sure
Quillax:Q retakes human form. "Yes, as I said..." she shrugs.
Chris T.:M relaxes
Claw:Claw heads back to Seoni to check on her
Chris T.:thogh keepsconc on shield of faith
Eldrin Ætherwood:Brushes, his coat and pants. "Eah, got some of thier gunk on me"
Simon N. (GM):Viorian turns to Quillax. "It seems you have done Shalast a considerable service this day. Had I returned with the device sabotaged like this, the Rune power would have gone to awakening Mhar... Your world and mine would both have perished in flames. You have saved ... everything."
Claw helps Seoni to her feet. She smiles up at Claw, glares over at Viorian.
Quillax:(Q almost quips that she hears that a lot :) )
Eldrin Ætherwood:Eldrin sits down as Haste wears off. "i hate this part"
Chris T.:hehe
Simon N. (GM):V/K to Q in Karzoug voice: "I must ensure the device is properly operational. This will take some time... But there is a place of honour for you here, by my side. Hm?"
Chris T.:M shudders at the thought.
Simon N. (GM):He/she looks to the others. "And for your minions too, of course."
Chris T.:Butwaits to follow Q's lead
Quillax:Q smiles faintly and shakes her head. "I wouldn't say no to the sword," she nods towards it. "My Clank does miss it fiercely."
Claw:"I'll let that Minion comment slide Karzoug"
Simon N. (GM):Karzoug/Viorian cocks his/her head thoughtfully. "Chellan? You ask much, indeed! "
Quillax:"Worth a few dimensions?"
Simon N. (GM):"I can see the power of Greed does flow in you, after all!" He chuckles. "Very well. Come with me..."
V/K gestures for you all to follow him/her back to the throne hall.
Quillax:(now or never?)
Chris T.:M will follow Q but against her better judgment
(Mal want this thing dead)
Quillax:(where is the sword, simon?)
(before we move out into the hall?)
Simon N. (GM):Viorian is holdong it still. She killed 5 Leng w it.
Chris T.:(That would be my vote)
Quillax:OK - need a quick pause to re-read the room.
Chris T.:The narrow funnel shape would be perfect for holding the door

Chris T.:Do it now whiule we have a round or two
Simon N. (GM):Viorian heads out, bidding you follow.
Chris T.:Urges Mal with her eyes
too late
Eldrin Ætherwood:Oh are we still in combat time?
Simon N. (GM):no
Quillax:OK before Viorian gets to the doors where "seoni" is written on the map,
Is seoni still there? Claw said he moved her
?
Claw:She is with me yes
Simon N. (GM):Claw & Seoni are standing there
Quillax:OK, so both Seoni and claw are at those doors, which are open. E and Q are behind V
Simon N. (GM):yes
Quillax:Right. how is V holding the sword
Claw:If thing kick off i'll put her down
Simon N. (GM):She is holding the hilt in right hand
Quillax:And is that area beyond the doors a sealed room - how does it link to that spiral area?
Simon N. (GM):there is no way through to the spiral
Quillax:OK good.
Simon N. (GM):unless you blew a hole!
Claw:I do have the earth breaker....
Quillax:(is everyone ready :D Q is going to do something possibly stupid :) )
Chris T.:yup
Claw:and I'm built like a tank
Chris T.:ready and eager to lay this evil to rest
Claw:Clawgentle put Seoni down out of the way and whispers to her to try and stay safe
Eldrin Ætherwood:"mmmhmm"
Simon N. (GM):I'll need to stop shortly
Claw:Claw puts his hand on Gorvak
Chris T.:M grasps the sunsword
Quillax:One more question simon, V holding the sword up or down?
ok I'm stopping there, you can post what you're doing
Quillax:Alright, here's how it's going to go down -As soon as V crosses through the doors, Q and Claw are going to charge and shove her against the wall at the same time, Q is going to stone shape 5 feet of stone from that wall where the spiral is to cover the sword and V's arm, pinning her to the wall, preferably with her arm bent so she can't pull her arm out of the stone shape. Then Everyone go for it :)
Chris T.::)
Claw:We're gonna thanos it then? cool
Simon N. (GM):well unless you have Message you can't telepathically tell everyone what to do!
you can verbally obvs
Quillax:Q signals to Claw to shove V towards the wall.
She raises her brows at Mal to ask if Mal is ready :)
Claw:Claw nods
Chris T.:Malis ready
Simon N. (GM):may give you Intimidate roll to coordinate your team Iron Man :p

Quillax:Was hoping for a crit but I'll settle for that :)
Simon N. (GM):OK you can actually do that!
We'll pick it up 4pm next week
Quillax:Claw and Q have worked together for so long, I wouldn't be surprised if he can ready her thoughts from her body language :D
OK, see you guys next week - hope we don't die :D
Simon N. (GM):OOC I did not expect it to go like that!
Chris T.:Nicely done all! Thanks Simon
Claw:Thanks all, good game
Quillax:Honestly, I thought I would utterly fail the bluff check!
Simon N. (GM):Who told you the Leng device had been sabotaged?!
Eldrin Ætherwood:Nice.
Quillax:No one!
Chris T.:Take care, see you all next week
Quillax:I was hoping to sabotage it myself!
I thought if I could change a part, I could make it not work :)
Claw:it was an amazing bluff ;)
Simon N. (GM):>>No one<< ROTFLOL
Chris T.:it was inspired
Quillax:Sneak a piece away and give it to the owl
I also thought it was small like a crown, tbh
Simon N. (GM):Yeah there was this whole hidden plot w the Leng denizens sabotaging Karzoug's plan
Quillax:LOL
Chris T.:hehe
Turned out nice againb
Simon N. (GM):To bring Mhar forward in time - likely destroying Golarion.
So you literally saved the world today!
Quillax:I thought if I couldn't get to it, if I could sow distrust, then maybe I could make the giants argue or something :D
Chris T.:wow
Eldrin Ætherwood:I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but hey, it was fun to slice and dice
Chris T.:Well done Keelia!
Quillax::D Thanks! and great game!!
Claw:thanks again guy
Chris T.:See you all nextweek:)
Simon N. (GM):Karzoug was suspicious of the Leng unexpectedly turning up recently of course, so a low DC when you claimed sabotage
Quillax:That was lucky for us :)
Simon N. (GM):The Leng were all "We need to fine tune your engine, mate"
:D
Quillax::D
That's what I was going to suggest - "You know, I've worked with those, I can take a look, make sure no one has messed with" all while palming a piece :D
Simon N. (GM):"Oh yeah, your Plognosticator is all banged up, need a thorough service..."
Quillax:And when the picture was bad, "Oh, look, they've deliberately screwed that up, that should be a perfectly clear picture"
Eldrin Ætherwood:There is something wrong wth the falange
Simon N. (GM):So you were both trying to sabotage it :D
Quillax::D
I'm laughing so hard at this that I can't get my phone to face-unlock :D
Simon N. (GM):LOL
Quillax:That was brilliant - I'm looking forward to next weekend!
