Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

Round 1 (final) (I think):

Initiative order
Monster-acted
Keno-tried to identify; nothing to do at the moment
Chochok-attempted touch attack and retreated
Kyra-hit the creature
Valt-tried to cast light
Arnthoth/Wolf-looked around for others
Raavan-cast divine favor and advanced

Round 2:

Initiative order
Monster-acted
Keno
Chochok
Kyra
Valt
Arnthoth/Wolf
Raavan

Kyra, the creature constricts its tentacles around you, digging in with its barbs. Take 8 HP. Bad time to max the damage roll....

Everyone can act.

Dice rolls:
Constrict attack: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

If I can't reach the creature but I can reach Kyra I will grant her Guidance so that she might be able to find a way out of the grasp easier.

Growling, Raavan steps forward and swings his Morningstar and snaps his tusks at the strange monster.

Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Bite Attack: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Effects Active:
Flagbearer (+1 hit/damage)
divine favor (+2 with Fate's favored trait)

Round 2 (ongoing):

Initiative order
Monster-acted
Keno-delayed
Chochok
Kyra
Valt
Arnthoth/Wolf
Raavan-acted

Keno, you're out of reach of Kyra at the moment.

Raavan, you miss with the morningstar but hit with the bite. It's still hanging on, though.

Alright then, I'll try something else!

Hold still! Keno retrieves his crossbow and fires at the enemy! Assuming penalties for being in combat and for cover,

XBow: 1d20 + 4 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 - 4 - 4 = 15 for Bolt: 1d6 ⇒ 4


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

Concealment chance due to darkness effect, high=hit: 1d100 ⇒ 82

The gnome leans around the central part of the staircase, and by great good luck puts a crossbow bolt into the creature, killing it.

Out of combat!

Ha!

Arnthoth notices a change in the sounds off battle. "Whart harppend?"


Female Human HP: 10/13 | AC: 14 T: 10 FF: 14 | F: +3 R: +1 W: +5 | Init +0 | Perc +3 | SM +3

Kyra takes a knee as she offers a quick prayer, clasping her holy symbol in her hand.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"Oh Sarenrae, the Dawnflower! We thank thee at this time for bringing us victory against this foul creature. Please continue to watch over us this day."

As she rises she seeks out Keno, "Thank you for your prodigious use of your crossbow. And you Raavan - quite incisive work with those incisors."

She brushes herself off. "Well now, I feel much better. Which way shall we go?"

"It is dead." Raavan says in the darkness. He then drags the creature into the light below. Plucking the bolt from it, he looks to Keno. "Excellent shot. I was unaware you could see in darkness."

Who said I could? laughs the gnome as he bounds down the stairs. Well now, where shall we start?


Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

The staircase ends in a chamber that has obviously not seen use in some time. Cobwebs fill the corners, and dust covers the ground thickly puffing up at every step and making it occasionally hard for Wolfie and Keno to breathe without choking and sneezing. The walls are decorated with ancient carvings in a language that none of you recognize. There are three sets of stone double doors in the three facing walls. Each set of doors is sealed with a heavy disk of bronze emblazoned with Pharasma's spiral.

Arnthoth earlier noticed a more recent scrawl on the wall, in archaic but understandable Common: My heart beats on the wrong side of my chest, or is it right? Is left right, or is it wrong? I don't know what it means, or why....

DC 15 History:
Even though you don't know the language, some of the symbology of the carvings matches that of the seven Runelords of Thassilon.

    Valt looks at the phrase, though has no idea what it means. He tries to not breathe in the irritating dust, so as not to start sneezing awkwardly with his snout.

    Blast it, longshanks! Stop shufflings you feet! You're...ahh, ahhh-chooo! You're stirring up all the dust! **snort**

    Keno will look at each of the doors, looking to see if the seals are remarkable in any way.

    Regarding the scribble on the wall Keno merely says, I can't believe that permit graffiti in such a hallowed place. I'll mention that when we return.

    Chochok studies the words but can not find their significance. "Hmm. Which way?"

    Ravaan considers the words and the other writings.

    "These words about the heart and its beating." He touches his chest and thinks a moment. "Perhaps it is telling us to go right?"

    "As go-hoo-hood a guess as any, but what if whoever wrote that's got a messed-up system...?" Valt howls out some dialogue and follows, though he looks back for a moment to the asthmatic gnome, "If you don't want to live in the dust of the pack, you-hoo-hoo have to lead from the front!"

    Male Gnome Oracle (Life) [1] | HP 10 | AC 17 T 13 FF 15 | CMB -1 CMD 11 | F +2 R +2 W +3 | Init +4 | Perc +3 | SM +1

    Perhaps I could ride you like a pony and solve both those problems! Keno sneezes again and continues to examine the doorways. [b]Well, we can go right if you wish, I can't seem to tell a difference.

    Know Religion help with anything here?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

    "Harier and manlier women than you have made that threat before, gno-oh-ohm," Valt notes without looking, "Always ended with me on top, in one way or anotherrr."


    Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

    Knowledge (Religion) is no help, unfortunately.


    Female Human HP: 10/13 | AC: 14 T: 10 FF: 14 | F: +3 R: +1 W: +5 | Init +0 | Perc +3 | SM +3

    Kyra covers her mouth to keep the dust out. She thinks over the scrawling, but is unsure of its meaning. "I agree with you Raaavan, I say we try the right way, and hope that it is not wrong. Otherwise, left is right - then where are we?"

    The cleric steps forward to the doors on the right-hand side of the chamber and opens them.


    Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

    The door is sealed tightly, and does not budge.


    Female Human HP: 10/13 | AC: 14 T: 10 FF: 14 | F: +3 R: +1 W: +5 | Init +0 | Perc +3 | SM +3

    "Oh, well... seems this way is sealed. Okay, um... Obviously the scrawling means we should go left! Yes, that's the ticket..."

    "Let us not accept defeat so easily, Kyra." Raavan grumbles around his tusks. "Do we have any locksmiths among us? What of the chime of opening? Should we use it here?"

    "Hold on..." Valt approaches the door and gives it a pat-down, with each touch cracking the stone (though they mend as quickly as they came when he removes his hand.) He fishes for pieces that might break permanently and let the door open.

    DD T10: 10 + 6 = 16


    Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

    Valt, you think you can bypass the locking method on the door with some time and luck, but it's not easy enough to do it that way.

    "Here go-ho-hoooes nothing."

    DD: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24


    Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

    By dint of good timing, Valt manages to disrupt the locking mechanism on the door long enough to open it.

    Assuming that you're still starting with the RH door....

    The room to the east is likewise dusty, and the corners are filled with cobwebs. Across from the party is a statue, close to eight feet tall and four feet wide, of a feather emblazoned with a large open eye, rather like a stylized peacock tailfeather. Although the statue is apparently carved of stone, it still shines in the light of your torch with a golden-green iridescence. Past it on the opposite wall is what appears from your position to be another set of double doors.

    DC 20 Knowledge (Religion):
    This appears to be a shrine to a minor Thassilonian deity known as the Peacock Spirit. Little is known about it, as active worship ended with the fall of Thassilon; it is believed to have been a deity of mind, body, and soul.

    There appears to be carving on the floor at the far end of the room.

    ETA: The map has been updated.

    Raavan does not recognize the iconography. Looking for other information he casts detect magic and scans the chamber.

    Perception (if needed): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

    There's nothing detectable as magic in the room, Raavan.

    Hmmm, not familiar with any of this so far. Disappointing. Peering into the hall he then asks, See that door behind the statue? Maybe we should try it.

    KN (religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

    "It seems this is beyond all of us."

    "Agreed, let's try that door."


    Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

    On closer examination, the door opposite doesn't really seem to be a door at all. What looked like a gap where the two doors met is actually a carved groove, and where the knob would be is a strangely shaped depression in the stone.

    ETA: The carving on the floor uses the same symbols as that from the chamber behind you.

    Male Gnome Oracle (Life) [1] | HP 10 | AC 17 T 13 FF 15 | CMB -1 CMD 11 | F +2 R +2 W +3 | Init +4 | Perc +3 | SM +1

    Odd. What purpose would this have? Keno decides to examine the groove and depression further, his curiosity getting the best of him.

    Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24


    Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

    It appears to be quite solid, with nothing else of interest about it.

    Keno then turns his attention to the statue itself, in particular the glow it seems to have. Wish I recognized some of this, the statue, the carvings... oh, it hurts my heart not knowing more.


    Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

    Make another Perception check, Keno.

    Yep, definitely a statue of a feather.

    Limping into the room, Raavan begins a methodical examination of the area.

    Take 20 on perception = 24


    Female Human HP: 10/13 | AC: 14 T: 10 FF: 14 | F: +3 R: +1 W: +5 | Init +0 | Perc +3 | SM +3

    Kyra takes a close look at the features of the room.

    Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

    "Hmm, I feel that this has some importance, but if it doesn't concern Sarenrae, then it's hardly worth knowing about, right?" Kyra folds her arms as if satisfied with her lack of understanding.

    She takes a closer look at the carving on the floor in the chamber. Bending down on one knee, she places a hand in the carving, tracing the outlines and trying to understand what the image may be.

    Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12


    Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

    Kyra, it's a lengthy piece of writing in the same language as the carvings outside.

    Raavan, your care and thoroughness pay off as you find a concealed compartment in the back of the feather statue. Inside it is a single green feather.

    Male Gnome Oracle (Life) [1] | HP 10 | AC 17 T 13 FF 15 | CMB -1 CMD 11 | F +2 R +2 W +3 | Init +4 | Perc +3 | SM +1

    Whaaat? Keno says, looking up at Kyra. My girl, you have more to learn about things than I do! Hmph! When the compartment is found Keno's face brightens. Ho-ho! Whatcha find there?


    Female Human HP: 10/13 | AC: 14 T: 10 FF: 14 | F: +3 R: +1 W: +5 | Init +0 | Perc +3 | SM +3

    Kyra uncrosses her arms and leans over Keno. "My dear sir, I only mean that in the grand scheme of our existence, the knowledge one can have of the Dawnflower's ever loving grace is the only essential knowledge. I care not about other gods." She takes hold of her holy symbol and closes her eyes reverently.

    Raavan holds up the object he discovered. "A feather."

    Detect Magic + Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10


    Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

    Raavan, it's definitely magical, with a strong conjuration aura, but you're not sure of its exact function.

    "It bears conjuration magic, but what it might do is a mystery to me." Raavan offers the feather to others for examination.

    Male Gnome Oracle (Life) [1] | HP 10 | AC 17 T 13 FF 15 | CMB -1 CMD 11 | F +2 R +2 W +3 | Init +4 | Perc +3 | SM +1

    Perhaps its a tickling feather. Keno shrugs, not having anything useful to add. Any of you lot there have a clue?

    Scarab Sages

    Chochok tries his hand at identifying it.

    Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20


    Rise of the Runelords Pt2|RotRL Pt 3| Giantslayer|Emerald Spire| CORE Emerald Spire

    Chochok is likewise baffled by the intricacies of the enchantment. It's a DC 27 check to identify, which seems kind of over the top considering the low power of the item.

    It's the same situation as the Pearl of Power; Even the first level one is CL 17.

    Valt takes a look at the feather and takes advantage of the theological debate by testing its ability to tickle gnomes (as suggested.)
