Simon N. (GM):There is a 40' Rune Giant to SW, Storm Giants to S & NE. The N tunnel looks clear.
Eldrin Ætherwood:"oh great, more of them"
Simon N. (GM):You can either engage the giants or flee down N tunnel.
Chris T.:"Stay close!"
Simon N. (GM):Or try to talk to them :)
Claw:"Lets move!"
hmm
Chris T.:Mal nods, Claw has it rigfht
Claw:(i did just considr talking to them, but i don't trust my rolls yet)
Simon N. (GM):Are you fleeing North?
Claw:Yep
Chris T.:(The others are probably on their way down, don'tfancy been tangled up with these when they arrive)
Claw:Seoni is with us right/
Chris T.:I hope so
Simon N. (GM):GM: OK you hustle north, the roars of angry giants in your ears.
You're carrying Seoni I assume
Claw:def :P
Simon N. (GM):You approach a triangular cubicle to your right.
This triangular room is empty, save for a golden
bed strewn with exotic furs and silk sheets. A
long shelf above the bed holds nearly two dozen
leather-bound books.
Chris T.:(A goodplacetofight themif that's what we are going to do?)
Simon N. (GM):A robed figure steps out of the cubicle. "Halt, Defilers!"
Eldrin Ætherwood:Would be the same result with that many numbers
"You face Khalib, First Apprentice of Karzoug! Throw down your arms and surrender!"
Claw:(is he human?)
Simon N. (GM):He has an archaic Thassilonian accent (post-modern to Mal) :)
Looks Azlanti human
Chris T.:Asprime a candidate for a punch in the face as I've ever seen)
Claw:Claw shrugs
He places Shoni down and draws is sword
Quillax:Q ducks behind Claw and uses Alter Self to look like Khalib.
Eldrin Ætherwood:Eldrin whispers to Claw "we need to deal with this guy fast, and keep moving"
Chris T.:"Join us brother! Throw of |Karzoug's yoke!"
In ancient Thessalonic
Claw:Sod it, Claw turns to face the giants
Simon N. (GM):ok roll init please

ok bonus action
Mirror Image
2nd Level Illusion
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute
Three illusory duplicates of yourself appear in your space. Until the spell ends, the duplicates move with you and mimic your actions, shifting position so it's impossible to track which image is real. You can use your action to dismiss the illusory duplicates.
Each time a creature targets you with an attack during the spell's duration, roll a d20 to determine whether the attack instead targets one of your duplicates.
If you have three duplicates, you must roll a 6 or higher to change the attack's target to a duplicate. With two duplicates, you must roll an 8 or higher. With one duplicate, you must roll an 11 or higher.
A duplicate's AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier. If an attack hits a duplicate, the duplicate is destroyed. A duplicate can be destroyed only by an attack that hits it. It ignores all other damage and effects. The spell ends when all three duplicates are destroyed.
A creature is unaffected by this spell if it can't see, if it relies on senses other than sight, such as blindsight, or if it can perceive illusions as false, as with truesight.
Simon N. (GM):The entry is only 10' wide by 15' high, RG attacking through it would have disad
Claw:"everyone in the damn room!"
Eldrin Ætherwood:Ill walk up to the RG and attack

Counterspell
3rd Level Abjuration(Cast at 6th Level)
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell
Range: 60ft.
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous
You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell. If the creature is casting a spell of 3rd level or lower, its spell fails and has no effect. If it is casting a spell of 4th level or higher, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell's level. On a success, the creature's spell fails and has no effect.
At Higher LevelsWhen you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the interrupted spell has no effect if its level is less than or equal to the level of the spell slot you used.
Claw:i only rolled because you said we wouldn't be abl;e to heal.....
Simon N. (GM):DC 17, you can roll Prof+Int to counter it

Claw:for th 20hp tho :P
Quillax:So with over 40 including all bonus, I pass but I'm not conscious?
Chris T.::D
Simon N. (GM):You rolled a 15 on Death Save, +7 for Mal = 22, pass. Quillax remains unconscious.
Quillax:Ah, it was mentioned it was a CON save, so I thought I got to add my con save to it :D
Eldrin Ætherwood:Shit am i alone up there?
Chris T.:Lookslike it :(
It is not a CON save.
Quillax:OK. That's cool :) I just got confused :D
Simon N. (GM):#8 Storm Wardens
The three Storm Wardens hurl lightning bolts centred on Claw, these explode in 10' radius catching Claw Seoni Eldrin & Quillax. Quillax & Seoni are killed (bad luck). Mal is outside the blast radius.

Eldrin Ætherwood
Chris T.:20 wouldbe nice
Simon N. (GM):Karzoug: "DISINTREGATE!"
roll of 6 is a fail
no advtg AFAICS
Eldrin Ætherwood:No adv with foresight? it's not concentration
Simon N. (GM):I have it require consciousness, not sure if that's a house rule
Eldrin Ætherwood:Ah ok, i think RAW non concentration spells don't require consciouness but if its houseruled then fail for Eldrin
Claw:they don't SPECIFICALLY mention it
RAI
Simon N. (GM):#19 Khalib casts Disintegrate & turns Claw to a pile of grey ash. :(
Chris T.::(
Claw:GO.FUCK.YOURSELF
Quillax:O.o!!!

Quillax:If we get out, I think i can fix you, Claw!
Chris T.:She uses her action to cast revivify on Q
Simon N. (GM):Mal feels the Occluding field tearing at her, but somehow resists, finds herself spinning across the infinite vortex of the planes, gripping tight to Quillax's body.
Her Master's words come back to her.
Chris T.:ah...
Simon N. (GM):"Call upon me in your time of greatest need..."
Chris T.:"XXXXIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNHHHEEELLPPPPPUUUSSSSSS!"
Claw:ooc is all my gear gone? the sword, etc
Simon N. (GM):Mal sees ahead of her the Sihedron, miles long, spinning lazily across the starry void. The tiny figure of Xin at its very centre
(Per RAW Disintegrate takes out only non-magic gear. I usually have it destroy fragile magic like potions, but not Garvok etc)
Chris T.:"YOUR SERVANTS PERISH! KARZOUG IS VICTORIOUS! HELP US ALL!"
Simon N. (GM):Mal's sense of time and space seems to stretch to infinity.
Xin: ~My child... I cannot penetrate the Occluding Field of Mhar Massif...~ The ancient wizened figure looks sadly at Malassandra. ~It was crafted by mightier than Karzoug. But we can save you two from Pharasma's Boneyard, at least."
GM: OK Eldrin is dead & you're out of combat at this point.
Chris T.:"But me friends?!" She wails..
Soz guys, I tried :(
Simon N. (GM):Xin sighs. "Soon I must return to Pharasma's Hall. But..." he touches Quillax's brow and she wakens (Resurrection)
Quillax:Q blinks her eyes. "Oh. Hello. Am I dead?"
Chris T.:"Lady Quillax, I have made a terrible choice..."
Simon N. (GM):"Perhaps this was meant to be. I fear that Karzoug still has his part to play - perhaps only the Lord of Greed can contend with Sorshen!"
Emperor Xin looks down kindly at Quillax.
"Do not worry, barbarian. You are safe here."
Chris T.:"Sorshen is mine! The slag!"
Quillax:Q tentatively gets to her feet and puts her hand on Mal's shoulder. "We can fix it, whatever it is. We always do."
Simon N. (GM):Xin: "I have watched your progress from the Boneyard. You did very well, disabling the Leng Device."
Chris T.:"I hasd little choice. I coul;d save only one and with you we have a chance to rescue our friends."
Simon N. (GM):Q 'stands' - quite a feat in an infinite starry void :D
Chris T.:"Oops, sorry for interupting, master."
Simon N. (GM):Xin looks kindly at Mal. "My sweet child."
Xin: "Karzoug had prepared a trap for you. But you turned the tables on him - for a while."
Chris T.:"We were as children before him..."
Quillax:Q quickly peers around contemplating that if she's in a starry void, then she's probably dead. Or soon to be, considering that the last time she was in a starry void she ended up losing years in another dimension.
Chris T.:"Will you help us prepare a rescue for our friends, Master?"
Simon N. (GM):Quillax sees the miles-long Sihedron swooping over the astral sea behind Xin.
Xin looks sadly at Malassandra. "I could return you to the Spire of Avarice. But I fear it would be suicide."
Quillax:"Are they dead, then?" Quillax asks.
Chris T.:She looks heartbroken.
Simon N. (GM):Xin nods sadly.
Chris T.:"If we can not save them, Lady Quilax. We must have vengeance!"
Quillax:"Well, Alright. I've been studying up and I know True Ressurection. I just need a lot of diamonds and a bit of time. Then we can bring them back for their own vengeance. I do like a good bit of vengeance. Which reminds me, I still have to deal with that Lich house..."
Claw:xD
Quillax:"Don't even need a body," she shrugs.
Simon N. (GM):Lich house - didn't Jelly PC deal with that?
Quillax:(Maybe separately but not with Q. I don't think that news ever got to her :D )
(As far as Q can remember, there's a permanenty damp house to burn down :D )
Simon N. (GM):LOL
GM: OK need to stop
Chris T.:Thanks, Simon. Cheers guys. We took a hiding there.
Quillax:Sorry, I was dead for the most of the session and fairly useless there :)
Claw:I got one turn then turned to dust -.-
Quillax:But Claw and Eldrin really held the line :)
Simon N. (GM):OOC getting into Viorian's armour not a great idea :p
Claw:I mostly stood there getting hit
Chris T.:If you can bring the others back now you're alive you'll have done enough!
Eldrin Ætherwood:Thanks :)
So close to dropping another wall of force.
Quillax:And Thanks for the save, Chris :) Mal saved Q twice in practically as many minutes :)
Claw:we need to take small bits, unfortunatly they will all come at us
Chris T.:I couldn't have healed you James2, I'd alreadyb had my turn and had no healing magic regardless :(
Eldrin Ætherwood:That's ok, it happens.
Claw:Oh shit, Seoni is dead too :o
Simon N. (GM):yup
Chris T.::(
Eldrin Ætherwood:They were many times over stronger than the us combined
Quillax:I'm going to strap healing potions to everyone in fragile glass. If you get hit, the glass breaks, you get an automatic heal :D
You fall over, you get healed.
Simon N. (GM):LOL
Claw:ooc does dieing remove the -wis debuff?
Quillax:Maybe some glass in the wounds, but the healing will take care of that :D
Eldrin Ætherwood:I don't have all the boons to put me on par with you guys, so i particularly get overwhelmed haha
Simon N. (GM):When you're dead you don't have stats, so I guess so?!
Claw:yay!
Chris T.:Mal struggles in this company with AC and HP but she's getting there
Did Q have the posh plate and shield with her?
Simon N. (GM):Q was wearing the +3 gold plate
You never got Vs shield
Quillax:Yes and you're welcome to it, if it can be taken off in void space :D
Chris T.:hehe
Simon N. (GM):Stripping off armour in astral is like Barbarella disrobing in Zero G :)
Eldrin Ætherwood:Wish i had time to set up the clone spell. Least i'd be waking up somewhere in my new body haha.
Chris T.:Wirth that and a half decent magical shield she will be a lot more robust
Claw:Claw is fine provided he doesn't have to start battles in quick session without some healing, starting at 50% really wasn't useful at all -.-
Chris T.:5eGiants are terrifying
Eldrin Ætherwood:THese are stronger than 5 e giants
Simon N. (GM):Yeah, the storm & cloud wardens are basically regular giants with +2 weapons
Claw:next Boon i think i might take the healing50% of your max hp one
Simon N. (GM):And +2 to stats
(some stats eg STR)
The storm giant lightning strike is a standard power
Chris T.:How do we do with this resurrection?
Eldrin Ætherwood:5e storm giants would get stomped by this party
Quillax:Need some holy water and a boat load of diamonds and to speak their names and bam! Instant rebirth 10 feet in front of me.
Simon N. (GM):IMC at least you need the remains (which can be ash), the spell can reform a body.
Quillax:Well, bam = 1 hour
Chris T.:Mal has a boat load of diamonds
Eldrin Ætherwood:How do you get our bodies when there is giants around them?\
Quillax:It's a bit iffy. It says it can make a new body.
Claw:so, eitherway they need to get my ashes?
Simon N. (GM):Yup
Chris T.:21,000GP worth
eek
Quillax:It doesn't say I have to touch a body...
Claw:so...what happens to my gear?
Simon N. (GM):If Karzoug's boys somehow destroyed the ashes my understanding is you could cast it anywhere, so they need to keep the remains together.
Eldrin Ætherwood:Wouldn't our gear stay inside the place we died?
Simon N. (GM):Although Bill disagrees, he says the "You touch a creature" line is always in effect
Claw:....that means that there are 4 bags of holding, a ring of protection, a Giants Strength belt and Gorvak just still on the floor -.-
Chris T.:blinking heck
Eldrin Ætherwood:Guess thats what happens when we die xD
Brutal
Quillax:What about hair brushes? Let's CSI this stuff. Claw will have had a hair brush.
I'm sure Eldrin would have also.
Would touching hair qualify ? :D
Simon N. (GM):hair follicles are not 'a creature'
Quillax:what if I made a voodoo doll and strapped it onto an automoton body? :D
Eldrin Ætherwood:So pretty much if you go back, it's suicide. So... we dead, dead.
Quillax:I think I've had a little bit too much sun today :D
Chris T.:We must at least try
Quillax:Not suicide. I just need my spells.
Chris T.:Not to attempt a rescue would be dishonourable.
Eldrin Ætherwood:Well i'm rooting for ya
Claw:if my ashes are still there you could take them into a side room and rez there
Chris T.:Meanwhile back to Q's library to plan?
or straight back into the spire?
M will follow Q's lead
Quillax:Can Xin bump us up some spells?
Simon N. (GM):gm ooc: realistically in the circumstances i'm not seeing you rezzing the fallen, karzoug knows how to stop it
Chris T.::(
Claw:theres always the fort just outside
since when was dnd realist?
Quillax:Way I figure it, if I have my full count of spells, I can get into the fortress, wild shape into a tiny bug, crawl along the ceiling to where they died. Gather up some ashes. and bug out. Stone shape to get through to the outside, then a bat form or something similar to get far enough away to wind walk
Chris T.:May I run what would have been my cunning plan past you? It may come in handy for next time or at least I'll know it's not possible?
Simon N. (GM):ok
Quillax:It will take forever as a bug, but no one looks at something like an ant on a ceiling
Simon N. (GM):>>Way I figure it, if I have my full count of spells, I can get into the fortress, wild shape into a tiny bug, crawl along the ceiling to where they died. Gather up some ashes. and bug out. Stone shape to get through to the outside, then a bat form or something similar to get far enough away to wind walk<< Well you can try it!
Chris T.:The plan was to revivify Qand have her change form/heal. Then, and this is the sketchy part... If we could see back into the prime, move to near Karzoug until the occlusion field threw us out at his feet..
Simon N. (GM):You can't see the Prime from the Astral
Chris T.:ah, okay. Then the cunning plan, like most of its kind was doomed :)
Simon N. (GM):You certainly can't see Karzoug's demiplane either
Chris T.:It was the best I could come up with at short notice and under considerable preasure..
Quillax:OK, so we could split up? Q can give all her gear to Mal and Mal can go to The Library.
Simon N. (GM):Bill here dads changing temperature on fridge bad luck you tried hard
Quillax:Hi Bill :)
Chris T.:Thanks Bill.
Quillax:Q can then change forms and Xin can drop her ant-form in? If it goes horribly wrong, Mal has the important stuff and we re-roll characters before the following session :)
Claw:So, we can't be rezzed coz of K man, even if we COULD we'd be missing our gear
Eldrin Ætherwood:lol
Chris T.:I think I can stay in the Astral aslong as I like so travel to your library should be okay (Demon Lord encounters willing)
Simon N. (GM):what i would do now quillax to avoid scenarios like this in the future cut off a pinkie toe then use regenaration to gain it back and put the fist one in a jat to have rof true resserection
Quillax:Yes, Gear can be replaced. Q-ant can get some of your dust. :D
Eldrin Ætherwood:I think you're more upset about your sword than you are dying lol
Quillax:Surely there's chunks of Claw spread across several mountains :D
Chris T.:hehe
Claw:true
Chris T.:brb
Claw:pre ash Claw
Somehow i doubt smn qwill allow it
Imagine for a moment a servent of Kman wielding Gorvak
Chris T.:back
Claw:because thats whats going to happen
He doesn't even get to go back to his wife
You're a terrible person smn :P
Quillax:Well, the only other thing I can think of, is Xin drops Q at the base of the castle and she lays spends a few weeks as a bug stone shifting down to the molten core of the earth, then lays waste with a earthquake and brings the whole damn thing down in a slow act of vengenance.
A storm of vengeance, an earth quake or two, shift some tectonic plates and bring forth a volcano.
Chris T.:Let's get our thinking caps on during the week? Use Q';s library and search for solutions?
Simon N. (GM):The centre of Golarion is a prison for Rovagug the Rough Beast,imprisoned by Saranrae the Dawnflower at the beginning of time.
Chris T.:And make a magical shield for M. She's not going to take this laying down.
Quillax:Did Q get a good enough look at the leng device to maybe make one?
Simon N. (GM):ok I need to say goodbye, hopefully continue next week (& no you can't make a Leng Device!)
Quillax::D
Chris T.:Thanks again, DSimon, guys :(
Claw:cya
Quillax:But Simon........
Thanks, guys :) See you next week!
