Rotten Tomatoes Saga (Evil Game 3.5)

[BSPiotr]

Please go here for the OOC thread for the rules: Rotten Tomatoes OOC Thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=141004)
----------------------------------------------
Important
This is so important its an announcement, so listen up.

If you or someone you know has a plan to do a character assassination at any point in time, please PM me or otherwise let me know

Please state who you are planning to kill, and what reason.

The process goes like this:

1) You tell me who you want to die and why
2) I deliberate on choices, and say yes/no to the idea
3) Assassination attempt
4) Resolution via private talk with me, you and other party

If you have general plans, that's fine too, but this system goes into effect at the moment that you actually will do your plan in the near future (i.e. next game or this current game vs some time in the future)

You may vet ideas as a group if you decide to scheme together, and there is no previous need to talk to me to scheme (but you do need to let me figure out what happens once you're set to do your plan of action)

Failure to abide by these rules may be something as small as a slap on the wrist OOC and IC, up to and including expulsion from my game.
------------------------------------------------------------
Background:
The kingdom of Herrgoth has had a violent past, in the ages beyond yore. A neighboring empire, consisting of what people called “ratmen” had plagued the young empire for decades. Battles were never-ending, blood spilled into the streets, until King Kandred stepped onto the throne. With a cadre of wizards, fighters, clerics, paladins, favored souls, warforged, rogues, bards, barbarians, raging berserkers, and pixies, the King won the war, leading the kingdom into a golden age. After nearly 400 years, the kingdom was once again assailed by a new threat – corruption. As an empire got larger, so did its politicians grow in corruption. King Kandred the XXX had struggled with this growing corruption, but because of it, had lost his only heir. The line was dead… the throne was at stake… the people fought savagely for it. After a battle known as “The Field of Rotting Tomatoes”, King Tokioh took the throne; a paladin that abhorred all forms of evil. This man started to fight the corruption with an iron fist, and at first, his effort were hailed all across the land… But something changed after the last solar eclipse, roughly 2 years ago…

From the Bard:
“The Kingdom of Rotten Tomatoes… This euphemism might seem strange to you, traveler, but it means so much to the rest of us. You see, in your land, you find peace, prosperity, and justice. But in our land... you'll find more than just that.

Several hundred years ago, the line of kings that had graciously led our kingdom to a victory over the neighboring Ratmen empire. The peace that endured made our land wealthy, lush, and overall quite nice. And so, the kings and their progeny ruled for some time.

But just a few years ago, a new line of kings sat on the throne. When King Kandred XXX left no heir, King Tokioh sat on the throne. King Tokioh was an enigmatic man - a paladin, even. Yes, our country took up a paladin as our king! What a gracious man... so you would think...

But the hearts of men hold dark secrets, and even paladins cannot escape their grasps. King Tokioh took our land and he said he'd wash it away from the stains of past - there was a minor skirmish over the throne, you see. And so he went on his holy crusade....

The only problem was the crusade was against his own people... soon the populace would find relatives missing, fields destroyed, their tomatoes... turned rotten...”

---

The rock around you is smoothened to nearly a shine. It is obvious that the dwarves who built this entrance chamber were highly skilled. As you go forwards, the slight wind in the tunnel seems to waft sulfer and brimstone; definitely unwelcome signs. A contingent of dwarves stands in front of what appears to be a portal, adorned with various dwarven runes. The leader of the dwarves holds up his halberd, making you stop...

For those with dwarven:
The Runes say: Into the Fires of the Earth Beneath Us.

"Halt, ye who go here. I see you have the pass that our great king gave you, but you still can't enter here with that horse and cart. The tunnel be dangerous, and it is unknown what manner of creature ye find ahead. You should prepare yeself for the meanest beasties this side of the Abyss, though if you are lucky, exile, you will find the tunnels that avoid the worse of these."
The dwarf looks upon the Meldshaper as he says his final sentence...

The dwarf steps aside after checking and unreigning your cart, but it is clear that he is willing to listen to any queries that you may have as he waits for your responses.

You feel that the journey will become much more difficult from here on in: you must prepare yourselves before you proceed.

A merchant suddenly walks by the guards, and you recognize him as none-other than Erjad himself. You may be able to trade, buy, and sell your stocks as it is clear he has a lot of goods on him...

((OOC: Alright, go ahead and post so that I know who is active and who isn't, and I'll continue the storytelling. Let me know if you are looking at anything in particular, and I'll do my best to stop and give you guys chances to do things, else I'll continue at a decent pace until one of you stops me, or a battle occurs :P Note that this will be how most of the thread will go: Story-telling and exploring, talking and bartering, battling and looting.

Due to popular demand, here's a recap of the last episode of Dragon Ball Z Rotten Tomatoes
-------------------------
The Party had found themselves in a strange dreamscape - the red sky above and the black sky below offered no reprieve to the dangers they faced: They were falling quite rapidly.

Luckily, with some quick thinking, everyone landed safely on one of the asteroids that were floating about.

You gazed upon the large moon above you. It almost seemed like it was gazing at you, piercing your soul and looking at what your true fears really were...

A doorway appeared, which had inscribed: "Choose your Nightmare". The party, seeing no other choice, went through it.

The chef, having a stroke of genius (or maybe just a stroke), left some cake in offering to the moon in an attempt to thank it. The moon and the plane were extremely confused... Pandora itself seemed to lose sanity as asteroids gathered to the cake as the party closed the doorway behind them...

---

Inside the new room, the party saw three choices before them:
A wooden door, with forest on the other side.
A glass door, with water and fish on the other side.
A ????? door, with ????? on the other side.

It is obvious which one they took...

---

The party appeared on solid ground once again, and could see the hills around them... There were no trees, and most of the ground was barren, without grass... The party were startled to find themselves unable to see each other...

As you gazed upon your hands, you saw that you could not see them... this contradiction in magic was very confusing, but luckily, if you had a way to see invisible, you would have seen the world around you...

Dragons!

Truly the party was in a strange place... The city they had landed in was completely invisible - all they could see were outlines in their magical vision. There appeared to be creatures - dragonborn disciples - flying around, causing will saves around the clock. A specific dragonborn explained that the had been expelled out of the cities fountain, which normally held a vile-smelling though extremely hearty concoction.

---

Seeing no other course of action, the party headed for the castle, finding that a talk with the king was easier to achieve than they previously thought possible. This was most likely due to the prismatic dragon of a king that towered above them. He quickly changed into his human form...

As you gazed upon the king, it was clear that his color shined through even the magic here. This dragon was obviously very powerful and very wise, though quite noncommittal.

The dragon explained that the magical effect was due to a mage being too good at casting invisibility sphere. He explained of the crystal that housed the magic and led the party there. The crystal was old, and had similar runes to the runes in the pyramids that the party had visited a long time ago. The dragon explained that the rampancy was the worst - invisibilit-ing hundreds of miles - 2 years ago on day of the full solar eclipse. The party managed to read the crystals and smear them, and proposed a course of action to the dragon.

The dragon summoned two beholders, and together they nullified the magic around the crystal.

As the beholders appeared, your mind reeled in their many eye stalks. You had heard of these strange creatures only in legend, and they were truly much more terrifying in real life than in the books.

The party suggested that the crystal be broken, and so the dragon put on some adamantine gauntlets, and full-super-power-attacked the crystal. It broke in the null-magic field and the party collected the runes. Upon the breaking, it was clear that the crystal's curse was over - everyone was now visible and visibly happy.

The world swirled into focus: the crystals magic was over, and now you could see the city as it truly was... DRAGONS!

The Dragon agreed to join the alliance, though he wasn't very interested in the foils of men and did not guarantee anything in particular. He did however, give the party several gifts for the dwarven lords as the party had mentioned going to the dwarves and towards the center of the world.

One of those gifts was a pure block of adamantine...

The party left the dragon-city and moved towards the mountains, jumping, gliding, and flying their way up. Quickly, they found themselves inside the cave to the entrance of the cave of the dwarves. The dwarves there recognized the exile... but they still abided by the rules of diplomacy of the ambassadors...

The dwarves. Though they respect the diplomacy of your quest, they still look extremely distrusting of your party member, the one they refer to as "the exile". You've never known Moror to be a dwarf, and so this revelation confuses you.

The dwarves allow entrance, and the dwarven king sees your assembly.

---

In the end, the dwarves did as the dragon: join the alliance, unwillingly, and did not promise overall support. They will most likely not go against their word, however...

As the party gathered to go towards the center of the earth (so they could reappear on the other side), they found themselves accosted by a halfling woman who had wanted to get rid of her daughter (under guise of "traveling with the party to the other side"). She tied her up and handed her over to Lo-Dag the Chef, who saw this as a sign (if somewhat of a perversion of one) that this strange creature would be the one he would have to protect and escort as dictated by his God under guise of atonement (he felt he was too evil). Now this gnome-halfing child is tied up in Lo-Dag's pack, hung over his back like a backpack... It is unknown what role she will purpose for the party...

---

The child is cranky and mad, and tries to bite through the ropes fruitlessly. It is clear she is neither gnome nor halfling, but it is unclear exactly what kind of creature she is...

Now you find yourselves in front of the guards to the tunnels towards the portal to the center of the earth.

In front of you is Erjad, the merchant, who is happy to trade wares and giant fruit.

Beyond him lies the portal and tunnel...

You feel the heat... this will be possibly the most treacherous part of your journey yet...

[Glimbur]

For Spate/Enrica Elfhater only Moror holds his hands in front of his face to form a circle.

[Stompy]

A young women blinks into existance, face first into the stone floor. A doll hovers above her, tugging the rainbow colored lady out of concern. She gets up, brushes herself off, and says, "I missed most of your speech, but it sounded like a challenge, and I like challenges." A wry smile continues.

"Can someone here please explain to me where I am? I need to get back and give a certain witch and rabbit what's coming to them."

[Glimbur]

"We are on a grand quest to save the world. You are currently under a dwarven mountain stronghold. We are about to go on a trip through the center of the planet. Care to join us?"

Bluff Check: [roll0]

DM onlyDetect Good!

[Hyooz]

"You don't wanna go there. It's not good," said a voice from near the portal. A man sat on top of a hell hound sharing a piece of nondescript meat between them. There may or may not have been fingers on one end. "Lots of things there that hurt. Also its hot. Maybe." He let the... arm? slip to the hell hound and turned in his... saddle? to face them fully. Scales covered his arms, and all in all he seemed disproportioned. "Why go to the core anyway?"

[Stompy]

Sense Motive: [roll0]

If successful, to ((Glimbur's PC)). (Otherwise, ignore.)
"I'm intrigued; what are we saving the world from exactly?"

"Your concern is touching, but I'd more worry about the 'baby' than anything else. Besides, what's a little heat going to do to me that summer wouldn't?"

"I suppose if you are adamant about increasing your number, I may as well come along. Like I said, a challenge is welcome; more so when I don't have anything to do."

"It does seem that the strange man with the cart has been trying to get our attention for the past five minutes. I wonder why he takes an interest in us?"

[BSPiotr]

"It does seem that the strange man with the cart has been trying to get our attention for the past five minutes. I wonder why he takes an interest in us?"

The 'strange man' hears your question, and tugs up his shirt and puts back his hair at the attention of your voice, walking up to the group.

"Why hello, all of you, once again. I am Erjad, my madam, and I am a merchant who specializes in selling potatoes and large fruits and vegetables. Why, just for you, I have here a free potato; its yours all for free for being interested in my wares! And in my 'large' selection today I have turnips and these things the dwarves call "plump helmets". They kind of look like three-dimensional spades...

((Alice: +1 potato))

"Seems like you are all headed to the other side of the planet. Nasty business that. I have a few things that may help..."

((Party: Tomato of fire resistance 5 for 8 hours/ 1 per person))

"I've got more, but thats all the sample you guys are gonna get for free!"

----
Welcome to Erjad's Shop! (play menu music)
Giant Fruit:
10 gp for turnip
10 gp for "plump helmet"
50 gp per tomato (Fire resist 5 for 8 hours) (weight = 1/10 lb)
250 gp per tomato bunch (enough for the party - special discount!) (weight = 1 lb)

[Averagedog]

Lo-Dag smiles at the prospect of "Fresh" ingredients and purchases several of each of Erjad's Wares.

3 Giant Turnips
4 Giant Plump Helmets
The Bunch of Tomatoes for Cooking Purposes

Lo-Dag Funds: -320 from Homeostasis

He wanders around the market place purchasing other items he thinks he would need for the trip. He Searches mainly for Several Belts of Healing, Potions of Remove Disease and/or Remove Curse, A Ring of greater Mage Armor, Another Bag of Holding and/or a Portable Hole among the shops and stores in the area.

[Hyooz]

Tim eyes the cart hungrily. "Whoa... actual food." He tosses the merchant a number of coins and dives into a plump helmet mouth first. "Been so long since I ate something that wasn't... well it's been a while." He looked at the merchant. "Got any meat? Maria isn't fond of the veggibles."

[Averagedog]

Lo-dag notices the young woman and Tim for the first time. His eyes scrunch up in confusion.

"Who are you two and why are you following my companions and I? Did the old Gnome thing send you two after me as well to check on her daughter?"

[BSPiotr]

Belts of Healing, Potions of Remove Disease and/or Remove Curse, A Ring of greater Mage Armor, Another Bag of Holding and/or a Portable Hole

You can find a belt of healing, the potions, and a bag of holding type IV and below. No ring or portable hole though. Normal price for all.


"Got any meat? Maria isn't fond of the veggibles."

"Why of course good sir. For your Hell Hound I have some meat here... 5 gp for the whole thing!

The merchant takes out what appear to be large chunks of raw steak, most likely the best you've seen in some time. He takes half of it and cooks it, and gives the other half raw to you. There is a total of [roll0] cooked meat and [roll1] uncooked meat.

[Hyooz]

Tim's eyes widened as he took the meat, tossing the uncooked portions to his hound who munched happily. The flesh in one of his hands shifted, forming a blade, which he used to cut the meat into manageable chunks. As for Lo-Dag's question, he looked up, mouth full of meat.

"Not following really. Pre-following." He took another hungry bite. "Came out of the portal, saw you here and stopped."

[Averagedog]

"A portal you say?" Lo-Dag asked looking around, "You know, I can cook that for you, you know.... I just need some sanitizing fluid, my cutting board a few vegetables oooo maybe some cilantro and lightly toasted bread.... this can go well with that Elven wine I procured a while back........"

[Hyooz]

"Yeah..." *munch munch munch* "That portal right there." He pointed behind him at the giant portal they've been sitting in front of. "The meat's fine, too."

[FullPlateJacket]

Just as Tim points at the giant, obvious portal, a cloaked figure appears, entering the scene through said portal.
"Hmm, wonder where we are now. Have you ever been here before, Cal?" "No, but I've heard about this place. From here, we can go to the center of the earth." "Wonderful! Then that's where we'll go next." The two distinct voices have their own conversation, oblivious to the people around. The first voice seems to come from the cloaked figure, but where the second voice is emanating from isn't clear. "Man, those are some huge tomatoes." "Yeah."

[Glimbur]

"We are on a quest to save the world from insanity and oppression. Would you care to join us?"

[FullPlateJacket]

The cloaked man pauses in thought for a moment. "Saving the world? Certainly a glorious enough task for one such as I... what do you think, Cal?" The second voice speaks up again, seeming to come from somewhere on the man's person. "One of those kinds of quests again? Well, it's not like we have anything better to do." "Then it's settled! My name is Caim, and this is my trusted blade, Callidus," the man says, motioning to the sword sheathed at his waist. The second voice, which seems to come from the sword, mumbles a quiet "...nice to meet you." "He's a little shy around unfamiliar people," Caim explains.

[BSPiotr]

Party:

As your conversations continue, Lo-Dag notices his gnomish companion stir from her slumber... she starts yelling through her gag, though it is quite clearly muffled. Eventually she manages to rip through it with her surprisingly sharp fangs...

"Miscreants! Rabblerousers! Vile Cretins! How dare you treat me like this! I demand to be released from these chains and this .... backpack.... at once! When I get out of here you are all getting such a foot-stomping...."

As she continues to curse out the rest of you, you notice a sharp sound of footsteps coming down from the hallway behind you. It seems these footsteps drown out the shouting, until finally it is clear that there is no sound coming from the child, even though she is moving her mouth.

Suddenly, you see Jessica, the sorceress from before that almost blasted you in the pyramids... She seems even more beautiful than before, if that were even possible. Her hair is now braided down her back, and she is wearing a skimpy jumper that has left even the dwarves looking at her figure.

"Well well... who do we have here? I wonder what fates brought me to see you all again and again? Hm?"

"And what do we have here, but new faces... They have decided to join your quest have they?"

She walks by your cart and by most of you, stopping by Vasat. It is clear that she is heavily perfumed.

"And you, my precious little dancer. I see that you have been taking care of your tail quite well. How many orphans have you scrubbed with your soap so far?"

Jessica giggles, and then walks up to Erjad.

"My good man, I'm here to buy goods and chew bubblegum... and I'm all out of goods."

Jessica entertains the merchant and buys several items, though none is of significant worth except for one: A Giant Apple with an arrow through it. She places it upon her head.

"Well then, I trust you will all be still alive when I meet you again... now then... where did I put that book... *Poof*"

Jessica left, leaving a suddenly quite loud gnomish child, who instantly quiets down once she discovers she can talk again....

"That b****! You are all officially on my stomp list."

---

The guard who was attending to your cart returns, not really noticing that you suddenly have more members to your party.

"Well, you're all set. I recommend going.... soon, as weather conditions are scheduled to get better for a bit and then taper off later in the evening. I pray tell you will find shelter before then."

True to his word, the portal shifts colors ever so slightly, and moves towards the blue end of the spectrum as several dwarven runes change shape above it.

Dwarven:
Current Weather Conditions Improving. Recommend transit. Current temperature: 50 degrees C

-----
Spate: Adventures in Ghoul-Land:

You wake up gasping - a very strange sensation for a ghoul as yourself. You cannot see, though you feel a strange redness around your eyes. They hurt... another sensation unknown to you. Suddenly, a strange green glow permeates your eyelids, and you open your eyes to see another ghoul - a naked barbarian ghoul.

He pulls you up, though is clearly not very happy.

Welcome, Spate. Welcome to ... the White Kingdom...

Cue Music and Cutscene of surrounding area:
It is a desolate place, full of what you might find in the abyss if it were less crazy and more undead. A grand broken cathedral stands right next to where you wake.

The ghoul stands by, and starts escorting you down a stone pathway.

The Great-One is displeased in you... you will be punished... oh yes you will. Muahahaha!

It is clear that you need to think quickly, lest you find yourself in front of Doresain without a plan...

[Glimbur]

"We're putting people on lists now? You just made it on to mine, Henrietta. Let's get our shopping finished so we can get out of here. It's making my beard itch."

[Stompy]

Lo-dag notices the young woman and Tim for the first time. His eyes scrunch up in confusion.

"Who are you two and why are you following my companions and I? Did the old Gnome thing send you two after me as well to check on her daughter?"

"Follow you? I don't know who you are, much less why you are babysitting this... uh...." *She goes speechless* "Can't I just be concerned that you're going to what amounts to hell with a child?" Alice looks at Lo-Dag with a half-laugh to show her confusion.

"I never did give you my name, did I? I'm Alice, and this *points to flying doll* is Shanghai."

Alice walks over to Erjad, attempting to start small talk while staring into the cart to see where he's pulling all this stuff from.

"What was that arrow and apple thing?"

Things I want to buy (since the group (including new people) got ~11.6k per person) :

Ring of Anticipation [6k](+2 listen +2 spot roll initiative twice and take highest)

Group of Tomatoes [250 gp]
9 potatoes
A pointy stick
Everburning Torch [110 gp]
Tent [10 gp]
Fine bottle of Wine [10 gp]
2 Wine Glasses

[Averagedog]

After the visitation my Jessica, Lo-dag wonders briefly why she was asking much more erratic ever since the last time she visited the party in the pyramids. She looked like she was off of her rocker this time instead of merely mischievous...... He sighs, then turns to Alice to properly introduce himself as Lo-Dag the party cook. After that he shakes hands with Caim then finally takes the gnome/halfling out of his pack and faces her holding her in one crook of his arm.


"Now now Henritta" Lo-Dag Croons, "Your mother sent you on a quest with myself and my companions to travel through the center of the world! ((smiling)) Also, I need to escort you safely for my penance for something very evil I did"((solemn complexion)). "Here," Lo-dag offers one of the fire resistance tomatoes stuffed with other nutritiou items and some cooked meat "I have prepared a simple but nutritious meal for you, I can't let anyone on our group starve or else I'll be a 5th rate cook!"

[Spate]

For Moror Enrica grabs your face.

"Well, as long as none of these new folks are elves, I'm cool. Let's get cracking down to the core." Enrica smiles.

[BSPiotr]

"What was that arrow and apple thing?"

"Why, that was a specialty item. You see, (appraise) [roll0] that was an Apple made from a very strange occurrence. Legend has it that the apple was worn by an acolyte who had agreed to be a practice target for his archer friend. Unfortunately, a bit of magical backlash happened which turned the boy's head into an apple, and when the arrow struck through the apple, the arrow also struck through the poor lads head. The result of this was that the apple appeared to be holding a bit of the brain of the magician, said to contain some of his secrets... apparently it strengthens the mind!"

Shopping: Its all good and all there.
"You might say I was anticipating that purchase! Ohohohoho"


(...) "I have prepared a simple but nutritious meal for you, I can't let anyone on our group starve or else I'll be a 5th rate cook!"

She eats it, though somewhat unwillingly. You see her face break for a second, but then she gets mad again. Its clear it tasted good to anyone with any (sense motive), but she still yells:

"I dunno, that might be better for us, so far this stuff tastes like 4.5th rate!"

--disregard

[BSPiotr]

Oops that didn't quite work:

(appraise) [roll0]
(secret) [roll1]

Appraise < 30 = Its worth > 16,000
Appraise > 30 = Its worth > 20,000, looks like it boosts int +3 but its not enchancement...

(I rolled for you, yay!)
(Erjad will tell you if you... make it worth his while... for 100 gp ;) )

[FullPlateJacket]

Caim watches the unfolding scene in bewilderment. Feeling hungry, he pulls some rations out of his pack. He eats in silence, thinking to himself.

Internal monologue:
(telepathic conversation between Caim and Callidus)
"I... don't suppose the term 'elf' really applies to me anymore." "Yeah. Even when using a blade as the medium, using pact magic is basically forsaking your own race and becoming one with the vestiges. Right now you're technically a human-slash-earth-elemental-slash-angel-slash-demon-lord-slash-storm-giant-slash-hope-consuming-extraplanar-spider."
"Even after years of this, it still feels freaking bizarre."
"I hear that."
"It's not like I'd even look like an elf if I took off my cloak."
Despite this, Caim tugs a little on the hood of his cloak to make sure that it's still in place. No need to be unmasked in a place like this.
((OOC: Should I roll a Disguise check, or something? Not just for hiding the ears, but also my six eyes and other pact signs.))


After finishing his meal, Caim heads over to Erjad's cart. "Good sir, would you happen to have any more of those tomatoes?"

(purchase: 2 tomatoes for 100 gp)

[FullPlateJacket]

((OOC:Eh, just in case.))
Disguise check: [roll0]
Caim shifts the hood of his cloak a little, obscuring his facial features. Anyone who looks for them can at least see his first pair of eyes, which are yellow and catlike.
EDIT:((...or not, since I rolled a natural 20. Whee.))

[BSPiotr]

All Purchases are go.
As a point of order, I'm waiting on ThriceDeadCat. If he doesn't post in today, I'll just continue on.

((You feel that your disguise has worked pretty well...))

[Hyooz]

"Me and Maria will come with you too." Tim said, remounting. "Used to the region. Also, the world is good, and if I come, more meat and money." He tested his arm, transforming it occasionally from a huge, rigid mass of fist or a stretchable chain of sorts with a nasty blade on the end. "I have all I need shop man."

[Thrice Dead Cat]

"Jessica, it has been far too long since we last spoke. Sadly, I am feeling more like myself today," Vasat says, ending his words with the wry smile of Paimon.

"I have nothing to buy, so, once the rest of my compatriots are ready, we should be leaving. I do hope to meant you again sometime once we've finished with this whole ordeal.

"To those of you willing to join us on our mission; I am Vasat...." Vasat trails off, distracted by some of the particularities of the newcomers, eying the flesh-warping capabilities in particular.

[BSPiotr]

((Everyone has posted. Yay! Next Logical step being made in 3... 2... 1...))
---
Erjad nods in your parties direction and he closes up shop and wheels it towards the city, obviously going to resupply his wares. He wishes you all a good time and enjoyable weather....

You hear a 'ding' noise as Erjad turns the cavern corner - the portal's runes have changed again, and now they spell out in the common tongue: "Great weather conditions"

Packing up your things and leaving your cart behind, you assemble at the portal's periphery, gazing at its innards. Close to it, you can see very little of the landscape on the other side - something akin to a "buzzing" seems to be blocking your view.

One of the party tests the portal precariously:
You feel your hand slip through, and a heat envelop your hand on the other side. It is obvious that the environment can get much worse if these are considered to be 'good conditions'

Your hand comes back without any extensive effects; the thermostat is set to ~100 F at the moment.

Giving you a solemn nod, the guard pushes you all through.

----

Immediately the heat of the surrounding landscape besets on you. It is not quite overbearing at the moment and the atmosphere does not appear to be on fire.

The second feeling you have is that you are suddenly in a very different place. The cavern here feels, for lack of better description, weird to you. Alien, somehow. Those that binds the souls of other demons (like Paimon) feel definitely closer to their respective binds.... for better or for worse.

The landscape is infernal, similar to what you might expect in a children's story book about the Abyss. However, you can tell that this place is definitely not that place - you are still in piece and not beset by demons, for example.

The third feeling you receive is one of confusion, as you notice that the world has changed its rules on physics. Any movement is beset by a moment of virtigo, though your mind quickly reasserts itself, and all is well again - you can move a second time without quandary.

A cursory check around you ((search/spot)) finds several cracks that seem to emanate heat from magma flows, stalactites that seem to drip molten stone, and a few descriptions left by adventurers that warn you of the silly games of the "imps".

The "buzzing" seemed to be heading from above you, where you can see a hole to the above-ground surface. A giant Black "Sun" blazes from overhead, and if you move up there you see a sandstorm move off in the difference: the source of the buzzing you surmise. The landscape around you is parched, and many bones of many carcasses litter the landscape here: It is clear only the creatures most resistant to heat and radiation care to travel here, as the very atmosphere is being swept away off from the surface into the sun - it is a very beautiful, if not ironically chilling, sight. You feel that while you have not traveled the planescape, you are definitely seeing the inner workings of this magical world.

Back below, the light around you seems to be coming from these stalactites, giving off a dull eerie glow. Those with low light vision see vast strange patterns of dancing lights that seem to rhythmically flow with the passage. No one is in darkness due to the Awesome Torch.

The only path is in front of you (with the portal shimmering behind you), and so you walk on, careful to not step in any of the magma. The temperature, while hot, is not yet unbearable (no con checks / tomato needed yet)

Soon, you find yourself upon a split, and a single sign that seems to hold together even in this blazing heat...

Beware ye, who travel here. Let it be known that the heat here fluctuates, and sometimes it is hotter than it is not. Both of these paths lead to the core, though through different means. Choose the left path if your heart is full of fire, and choose the right if your heart is made of stone.

---

((If this roll is greater than your sanity score [roll0] you gain one sanity damage (max drops by one, though you don't lose any unless you go above the max) otherwise, lose one sanity drain. This is due to your mind reasserting the slightly different rules of this place.))

[FullPlateJacket]

The left side of Caim's mouth unconsciously stretches and widens as Paimon's influence asserts itself. Caim fights to return it to a normal expression. Eventually, his mouth settles into a slightly twisted grimace. He sighs. (Damn it, I hate this part. Even the vestiges I bound perfectly are starting to infringe upon my mind. Luckily, I'm still covered up by the cloak. On the minus side, it's getting really hot...) He quickens his pace a little, before stopping at the sign. "Well, which way do we go? I vote stone. It burns less." (Also, I bound Agares today.)

[Glimbur]

"Right seems to be the superior path here."

[Hyooz]

"My heart is one of fire. I must choose the left path, as the sign says."

[Stompy]

"My heart is made of....neither?" Alice will attempt to walk through a wall between those two paths onto the "middle" path.

[Averagedog]

"I am beholden to my beliefs and those beliefs alone, while I do feel passion I am also not a person that describes himself as cold stone."

Lo-Dag will attempt to follow alice in between the two set paths, comfortable that his immunity to fire will help him in this gods forsaken place.

[Glimbur]

Will flight be sufficient to avoid damage from this fire? Or will I have to start cheating harder?

[Thrice Dead Cat]

"Our caravan is not likely to endure the flames, so we best head to the right."

[Hyooz]

"The sign doesn't say 'Fire this way.' It asks what your heart is made of. Mine is of fire. Not dead stone."

[BSPiotr]

"My heart is made of....neither?" Alice will attempt to walk through a wall between those two paths onto the "middle" path.


"I am beholden to my beliefs and those beliefs alone, while I do feel passion I am also not a person that describes himself as cold stone."

Lo-Dag will attempt to follow alice in between the two set paths, comfortable that his immunity to fire will help him in this gods forsaken place.

As you walk through the wall, you feel it shift in front of you. The wall shimmers and disappears, the path now visible to everyone. Ahead of you you see that the physiology of the stone changes: the rock to your left seems to be flowing, almost molten, and the rock to the right is dark and much more stable, almost worked.

The path slopes downwards, and you follow it...

((Final vote was 1-3-2 for fire, stone, stupid. Since stupid decided to walk into the wall, those two are gone. I will assume that the rest of the party will follow the chef, let me know if you are rather against it and go some other route))

For those that follow:
The features of the tunnel eventually change, as the tunnel widens. You have the feeling that you are going deeper, towards the core. Eventually, you reach upon a solid opaque door. The substance is unknown to you, but it does not seem to be conducting the heat. It is slightly propped open. Inside you see:

http://piotrkarwowski.home.comcast.net/~piotrkarwowski/Evil%20Game/Map1.png

The creatures inside do not yet seem to be aware of your presence, and you could swear that the sorcelator and huge elemental are drinking tea and reading a newspaper...


For those that dont follow:
You feel that the temperature is slowly increasing. You must choose a route to go down, with or without the rest of the party, lest you find yourself to be overburdened with the heat.
((Please let me know if you don't go and if you stick with your old choice, and I'll write your description in here after this post.))
((Choices include: fire, stone, or following Alice + Chef))

For those around Vasat, you feel much more comfortable than those who are not. It appears that the air is significantly cooler around him, to the point of the heat being actually bearable and simply warm.

[Hyooz]

"I will obey the sign. My heart is of fire, as is Maria's. We go to the left." He kicked his heels into the hell hound's side in a practiced motion and they bolted off toward the left.

[Thrice Dead Cat]

"Well, it would appear that most of the rest of us, if only barely, would rather prefer the stone." Vasat begins to head towards the right, checking back on the remaining members of the group. "Moror and Caim, was it, we should be fine down safe down this path."

(OOC: I forgot a little something. Due to the wonders of the d10,000 table, it's 20*C colder around Vasat!)

[FullPlateJacket]

Caim nods and begins walking down the path on the right.

[Glimbur]

Stone path it is.

[BSPiotr]

Alice + Lo-Dag:
As you peer into the room beyond, you see the elder elemental suddenly peer up, and then disappear in a flash. The Sorcelator looks up from his tea, and then puts it down, placing his fingers in front of him in a Mr-Burns-esque manner. He then too, winks out, together with three of the Succubi. The rest of the room suddenly grows louder, and the Fire Elementals discuss what is going on, and the sole succubus is pouting over her non-winking-out ways...

Tim + mount(Maria):
As you go down the fire-way, you feel the heat grow steadily. It is almost unbearable when in front of you whisks in a Huge Fire Elemental. He blocks most of the passage, and holds out his firey hand.
"Halt, mortal. I have seen you here down in these passages before... What are you doing so far from the dwarven settlement, and why do you seek to journey to the center of the earth... You know the rumors... The path to the center is... how should I say... "hotter" than you mortals can imagine..."

Vasat, Caim, Moror, and Tarence:
As you go down the stone-way, you feel the heat retract into the walls. They seem to almost glow red in some places. Suddenly, a sorcelator winks in ahead of you. It is clear that he does not encompass the entire passage, though his stance tells you that he does not want you to pass.
"Halt, mortals. Why do you travel these tunnels of stone and work? Why do you journey to the center of the earth? Not everyone is simply allowed to walk into the lands of the Devourer..."

You see what appears to be a younger gentleman with dark pupils locked in a cage nearby the sorcelator. For all intents and purposes, it seems like he is simply waiting inside for something to happen...

[nakuni]

Tarence looks out of the cage with cold indifferent eyes.
"tell me more about this devourer"

[Glimbur]

"We are on a grand adventure. Also, we seek passage to the other side of the world."

[Hyooz]

Tim looked the creature up and down. "Sorry, but I never seen you down here like you seen me." He wipes some sweat from his forehead with an increasingly disgusting rag. "I found companions. They are going to the other side of the world, so the core is fastest. I come to you because my heart is made of fire, so I will bear the flames."

[Stompy]

for Lo-Dag (and DM)

Alice will usher Lo-Dag away from the door, a good distance to prevent eavesdropping.

"So, do you have a plan, because I have a plan. I disguise a summoned creature as a ...slutty lady, she runs towards the fire elementals, attacks them off-guard, I come in with another creature, and attack that.... other slutty lady, a big dynamic entrance; that should be enough."

-Alice manifests a 11 PP Overchannel Talented (spends focus) PP 11 Astral -Construct 6th level right next to both elementals (or between them, trying to get both into 10' reach) (I don't think it would get a surprise round...)
-Alice commands the 4th level construct to open the door.

"Good Morning!" (("Ohaiyogozaimasu!"))

(I assume if Averagedog wants to pre-buff he will do so during this sequence)

4th Level (medium) Astral Construct has the following extra abilities: Extra Attack, Pounce, Trip, Deflection

lolol

Lo-Dag + Alice + Team Shenanigans:

The elemental and succubus get off of their chairs and stare at the construct you have created, then quickly change their visages from confused and annoyed to angry and annoyed as your other construct bursts in. They hiss at your announcement, clearly ready to do battle. At the sound of commotion, you hear a noise behind the north door: It will open soon.

Initiative of them:
Elemental: [roll0]
Succubus: [roll1]


Tim + mount(Maria):

"'Bear the flames'? Very well..." The elemental seems pleased at your answer, but suddenly turns his head left, and his features change. A look of concern washes over him, and then dissolves into a wicked grin of flame. "Come then, mortal, give me a "bear hug" as they call it then..."

Vasat, Caim, Moror, and Tarence:

The mage turns, seemingly unconcerned of the fact that Tarence's cage is rusty..."Surely you have seen the great Black Sun... that is the devourer... It consumes this planet as humans consume the earth they live on. He will see the end of the Advisors, just as the Advisors have seen the beginning of him."

Suddenly, he gets a dark look, and turns right, into the wall..."Concerning... I must finish with you here. The Devourer is unwilling to accept guests, I recommend you take a number... in hell"

Both of them are on fire for 1 round and take [roll0] damage for it.

Trip (elemental 1):
[roll1]
[roll2]

(is probably tripped)

Trip (elemental 2):
[roll3]

The succubus is tripped, as she is stunned and cannot move.
She falls, and her alluring chest seems to stop moving...

[Hyooz]

Piotr:

"If that is the way it must be..." Tim's eyes harden and his fist undulates and grows into a massive, misshapen lump, hard as rock. Maria seems to prepare for the fight too, adopting a lower stance. "... but I don't hug fire. So I'll show you a bear punch."

Initiative: [roll0]

[Hyooz]

With a loud "HA" Tim kicked his hound into action, his boulder-like fist at the ready. Maria barked, and dashed toward the fiery creature, stopping just short as Tim drove his fist at the creature's "face."

[i]Charge action.

Melee attack:
Damage: [roll1] (damage doubled because of Spirited Charge feat)

Only the succubus is gone, everything else is set up as before.


Tim:

[roll0]

The Elemental shudders as it takes your blow in punishment. Its flames have a dark tint to them for a moment as it loses a level...

You and Maria both however take [roll1] fire damage, though you dont seem to catch fire.

The elemental composes itself, and targets you, seeing that the mount is a much less dangerous opponent.

Hit1: [roll2] (Confirm: [roll3])
Hit2: [roll4] (Confirm: [roll5])
Damage 1: [roll6] + [roll7] fire
Damage 2: [roll8] + [roll9] fire

"You know, if you just let me hug you this might be much safer for you..."

[Hyooz]

BSPiotr:

Tim slips off of his hellhound as his flesh shifts anew, his arms both turning a dark grey and increasing in bulk, as if he had taken way too many steroids. "If it is a hug you want, I will give you the greatest hug I can give." He approaches the elemental carefully, before leaping, hands outstretched, to give him a heck of a hug.

Demanifesting Hammerfist and manifesting Musclemass, with 2 points for Crush.

Touch attack to initiate Grapple: [roll0]
Grapple check: [roll1]

In case of a successful grapple; Unarmed attack damage: [roll2]

[Averagedog]

Lo-Dag

Lo-Dag will Tumble as a move action to the lower right corner of the closer of the 2 greater fire elementals. For his standard action he will go into half defense which gives + 2 AC for a -5 to attack until his next turn?

tim:


Seeing you ready to hug him, the elemental lets you do so. He does not expect the next level drain however... Maria misses hilariously, nipping at the elementals flames.

"Ugh... damn human, your essence reeks of those that take away lives by draining them with touch... vampires, ghouls... I am glad you have accepted my hug. It is time for you to meet your destiny."

You feel his hot-fires embrace you and are reminded of your travels down here in the ground near the core. The effect wanes after a little bit, and the elemental frowns.

"It seems you have already been acclimatized to this place. Very well. You have passed; I must get going to save my employees."

The elemental, with you still stuck to him, will attempt to dim door. You may follow him if you wish. You feel his essence running through you, the power flowing into your hands and wherever you will it to go...

You now add 1d6 magical fire damage to all of your attacks


Lo-Dag and Alice:

Tumbling goes well.
Elemental 1 stands up, taking an AOO from the large construct, and attacks it.

Hit1: [roll0] (Confirm: [roll1])

Elemental 2 take a full round attack on the construct, not seeing Lo-Dag as a threat.

Hit2: [roll6] (Confirm: [roll7]) -4 = 23
Damage1: [roll8] + [roll9] magical fire damage.

It is Vasat's turn. I expect a post soon :P (then its the sorcelators turn, then the rest of you, then Vasat again...)

[Thrice Dead Cat]

You know who you are:

Vasat gives a quick yell, stretching the limits of Paimon's powers before making a dash towards the mage and the man in the cage.

Swift action: Quicken Divine Power (7 rounds)
Full-round action: Tumble with Dance of Death, passing by the sorcerlator and ending up next to the cage, making an attack on both the sorcerlator and the cage, ending due left of the cage.

Tumble - [roll0]
Knowledge Devotion, assuming (Arcana) - [roll1]
Claw attack against sorcerlator - [roll2] +4 from KD.
Damage - [roll3] + 4 from KD.
Claw attack against cage - [roll4] +4 from KD.
Damage - [roll5] + 4 from KD.

EDIT: 31 is +4, so, awesome. Also, the sorcerlator needs to make a DC 19 Fort save or be paralyzed for 1d4+1 rounds.

[Hyooz]

BSPiotr:
With a quick call to his hound, Tim reached out, grabbing hold as she came toward them, fully ready to poof with the elemental he clutched to.

Tim:

You hold on tight as the space around you warps, and the elemental appears, with you holding onto it and Maria, in another hallway. You see there is a red door ahead of you. The Elemental, sensing that you decided to come with it, bellows: "Open" The door opens, and ahead of you you can see another elemental and what appears to be a large doll... Suddenly, the elemental lurches forward, as though being propelled by a magical force... you find yourself in the room.

Please look into the Lo-Dag / Alice spoiler from now on (map is under that spoiler).

Alice / Lo-Dag:

Elemental 1:
Trip defense:
[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
Fails on second attempt, is tripped again.

Elemental 2: uh... already tripped.

Suddenly, the sound behind the north door becomes clear: A huge elemental bursts through, with a Tim holding on to it and Maria.

Let me know if I dont have it right again.

It is now Lo-Dag's turn.

New TURN ORDER:
-----
Lo-Dag <--- we are here
Tim
Elder Elemental
Lesser Elementals
Alice + Company


Vasat, Caim, Moror, and Tarence:

The cage is sliced open like hot bread. It is obvious that it was rusted over thoroughly. Tarence is now completely free.

The sorcelator is clawed across his face.

save: [roll3]
If he does not make the save:

The paralyzed mage seems shocked, but then his eyes calm. A sudden gush of magical energy brings 3 succubi around him, and one of them kisses him, freeing him from his binds. He then points at himself. DC 22 spellcraft Stoneskin. Succubi brought by DC 25 Limited Wish


If he makes the save:

The mage is amused and concerned about the magical energies of your claw. He lets out a shrill yell: "My pets!". 3 Succubi surround him, and they all seem ready to defend the sorcelator to the death. The Sorcelator points at himself and casts... DC 22 spellcraft Stoneskin.


Regardless of the above:
The 3 succubi all smirk at their targets: One at Caim, one at Moror, and one at Vasat.

The one at Vasat realizes who Vasat is, and has a face filled with disgust, and then instead looks at Tarence.

They Suggest for Caim, Moror, and Tarence, to "Come over and kiss me, beautiful." (no save needed unless you really want to, DC 21)

It is now the party, then Vasat, then Sorcelator + succubi.

Realized that that action is pretty silly, thus, consider their action to be "lost" upon you. I.E. you automatically don't fail the save. More of an "effect" really. This includes everyone. (no one has to save against their effect, is what I mean.)

[Glimbur]

Free Action: Moror begins glowing with a black light. Activate Incarnum Radiance for +6 to melee damage. I'm sharing it. Everyone within 30' of me does +6 on melee damage provided you're part Evil.

I've got a Gaze Attack! Everyone hostile should make a DC 18 Will save or be Shaken (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/conditionSummary.htm#shaken).

Swift Action: Essentia does the Lindy Hop. Result is 4 in Adamant Pauldrons, 3 in Hands of Wrestler, 3 in Girallion Arms, 3 in Incarnate Avatar, and 1 in Keeneye Lenses.

Move Action: I move next to the Sorcelator and Succubus 3, so as to avoid AoO's.

Standard Action: It's wrasslin' time for Senor Sorcelator! Touch attack: [roll0]. Grapple check [roll1] for [roll2]. If successful, Siberian Suplex Touch attack: [roll3]. Grapple check [roll4] for [roll5].

Free Action: Theme Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7GW_1vi_Q4).

[nakuni]

Tarence Scoffs at the succubi's advances "I have no need for your kisses, but I know some friends who's 'kisses' are to die for." Tarence begins summoning 4 shadows

[FullPlateJacket]

"Nah, I'm good. Cal, you want a kiss?"
"Sure. Just get me to her face."
"No problem!" Caim shouts, drawing Callidus and Deneve. He charges into battle, attacking the succubus with a flurry of stabs and slashes.

Swift action: Use Quick To Arms to draw Callidus and Deneve.
Full-round action: Charge Succubus #1 (assuming I'm the PC on the bottom, otherwise charge #3). Callidus's Pounce ability grants me a full attack at the end of the charge.

Full attack:
Attack 1 (Callidus): [roll0] for [roll1] piercing
Attack 2 (Callidus): [roll2] for [roll3] piercing
Attack 1 (Deneve): [roll4] for [roll5] slashing and [roll6] acid damage
Attack 1 (Deneve): [roll7] for [roll8] slashing and [roll9] acid damage

I'll roll for any other relevant abilities based off of hits/crit threats in the OOC thread and edit results into this post.

EDIT: Things of note: Attacks from Deneve rust metal like a rust monster and reduce damage reduction by 4 per hit. But since it'll still have its DR against my first attack, I probably won't deal 10 damage on the first hit, so I don't get a free trip attempt from the powers of Agares.

ALSO EDIT: If we get theme songs... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00XmoqISm9o

Piotr, Alex, and Charles

Lo-Dag centers himself then starts viciously kicking the elemental on the floor a few times, clawing at its chest then smacking it in the face for good measure. Hoping that his fire resistance will be enough to not be seriously injured from the burning thing. After the attack, lo-dag will take a 5 foot step backwards using the wall as cover against the greater fire elemental.

Moror, Tarence, Caim, Vasat

Moror's Touch misses. The sorcelator notices what you just tried to do.
Tarence begins to summon shadows
Caim brutalizes the succubus (no, didn't do 10 on the first), and sees her hide shine in a strange glow (only 2 DR now).

Now Vasat's turn.

Lo-Dag's Hasted attack and two claw attacks hit.
Lo dag takes damage

on top of that, make 3 DC 24 reflex saves or be set on fire (which probably wont hurt you, but may give you the "dwarf on fire" problem :P)

It is now Tim's turn.

[Thrice Dead Cat]

Vasat proceeds to give the second succubus some "tough love."

"Humph. This shouldn't take us long to finish. Hopefully you won't freeze like my last dance partner."

Knowledge (The Planes) for Knowledge Devotion:
Bite attack on Succubus #2: [roll1] + KD

Succubus will also need a DC 19 Fort save for each claw and bite attack that land or be paralyzed for [roll]1d4+ rounds.

If succubus two bites it before the full attack is over
Swift action: Bloodwind after the killing blow, rest of the hits go to succubus #1.

[roll0] for fever

[roll2] for paralysis
(all against DC 19)

If she makes it:

Grapple! Make an AOO

She will full attack you

The Sorcelator casts another spell on himself after being defensive: (DC 22: [roll9]) Limited Wish: Freedom of Movement.

He looks annoyed at you, and is seriously considering ramping up his powers to get you all out of his hair.

[BSPiotr]

Tim + Marie, Alice, Lo-Dag:

Initiative shifts to Elementals. Elder elemental will reserve action for Tim or anyone who gets close.

Lesser elementals both go for the 6th level construct (-4 already factored in)

Reflex saves (DC 24) or be on fire for [roll12] turns.
IF I missed a turn of fire, they took [roll13] fire damage.

Now Alice + company, Lo-dag, Tim, Elder, etc.

4 sickly shadows phase in around the Sorcelator with the completion of Tarence's spell. Shadows 1 and 2 are in a flanking position, 3 and 4 are in other squares around the Sorcelator. "Your running out of time sir, though I believe I just found some more. Go ahead my creations, show the nice man who's time it is." Tarence casts Haste Targeting all of his shadows and all of his new "allies."
The shadows then unleash a flurry of life sapping incorporeal touch attacks on the sorcelator.

Damage to dudes:

Caim, Vasat, Morror, Tarence:

The spell was a limited wish: Freedom of Movement.
The sorcelator takes several of the hits, and you see the strength drain from him. He doesn't seem to dissolve into a shadow yet, however.

Still need Caim and Morror, then Vasat, then Sorc

The elemental shudders under your combined blows and chips a little bit of his flames, but composes himself again.

You don't take her down, but its clear she's on the ropes.
Her grapple fails, and fear shows in her eyes.

[Averagedog]

Lo-Dag readies himself for another barrage attacks and continues his vicious kicking on the elemental on the floor. Lo-Dag's inherent fire resistance was enough to resist the flames as they were.
