Through one way or another, the call of Kenabres has lured all five of you to its doorstep. Whether you are burgeoning crusaders, scholars of the Great Beyond, or mere tourists, inexplicable forces have summoned you to this place. A lesser man would deem it coincidence. The wisened sages, however, would call it destiny.

The city, though, knows not of this. It is enraptured in the echoing throes of a sound foreign to its hallowed streets- laughter. It is Armasse! This sanctified holiday provides a much-needed respite for the war-torn Kenabresians, with dance and song and cheerful mock battle filling their crowded streets.

The majority of the festival, however, happens in one cheerful place- Clydewell Plaza. And here is where we begin, with you intrepid heroes woven into a sea of smiling faces in the shadow of the great cathedral.

Introduce yourselves! You haven't met yet, but this as good a time as any to discover more about your soon-to-be allies.

The festival awaits!

Anna sulks in the crowd looking rather unjoyful for such a joyous event. She carries a bow that, after her abduction, has never left her side, and wonders silently to herself, How can people be so happy? Don't they know what lies just beyond the walls? Our time would be better spent training or pushing the demons back, rather than pointless celebration. There will be time enough to celebrate once we are victorious. Or, she adds, rather darkly to herself, Perhaps there won't be. In any event, though...This simply doesn't matter. I'd rather be watching my arrow in flight to a demon's cranium than wasting my time here, even with all the risk that implies.

Harold tried to be polite, but he found the festivities a tad bit overblown. I just wanted to pray at the Cathedral. I didn't realize I came to town in the middle of a holiday. Not that he had a thing against festivals; he just didn't have the time for it now. Besides, he thought,I haven't really been to one since Father died. I don't know if I can be myself again

Lauren normally loved Armasse. Her adoptivd father, before he was slain, would disguise her as a human baby and take her to all the restaurants around. She began to become quite saddened when she thought about how this would be the first year without her father. It was then that an inner dialog began between her and her father's phantom, which, through his sheer love for his only daughter, escaped the river of souls and made it all the way back to the material plane:

Lauren, don't be upset. I may not be here in the flesh, but my spirit shall guide you as long as it can. I am so proud of you for joining the crusades.

Daddy, I will not disappoint you. I'm so glad to continue your life's work. I will make a better name for goblins everywhere. I know I'm not the only one who turned to the light. My tummy is rumbling. I need to find that place where you took me to eat and they served us despite seeing through my disguise. Where was it, again?

I don't remember. Death takes its toll on the mind, and only my most valued memories emerged unscathed. If you need any help talking to anybody, do that trick I taught you. You have a good heart and mind, but you were always so shy!

With that, Lauren, to the best of her ability, tried to find a restuarant where she could eat something filling before her first mission. A lot of people, despite her best efforts to be a good person, disliked her just because of her race. This mission would change everything. She knew she would return to Kenebres victorious and make a mighty blow against racism against goblinkind. The weight of tradition causing people to dislike others and unnecessarily limit their freedom simply because of their race boiled Lauren's blood almost as much as stories of demons who enslave entire villages just because they are strong and the villages are weak. As Lauren continued searching for food, she considered buying a little extra food in case she encountered a beggar. She believed everybody ought to have the right to individuality and freedom so long as nobody else was harmed in the exercise of that individuality and freedom. She also believed that to spread that freedom to everybody, she had to lift people up who were down on their luck, as one can only be free if they are equal. If all went well finding food, she would join one of the many archery competitions that are held every year on Armasse. She liked those a lot.

Kaltan wove his way through the crowd, smiling and politely excusing himself as he passed by. His katana hung at his side, his shield on his back. While he wasn't expecting trouble, he felt naked without his armaments on him. Additionally, he hopes that Alistair might be among those present, and that the older paladin might recognize his chest painted on Kaltan's shield.

Regardless of whether or not he found Alistair, he was determined to have a good time. Relaxation was rarely a luxury he could take, but with the entire city in festival mode, he thinks that he can afford to let himself have at least a little bit of fun.

The cheery atmosphere of the festival envelopes you, coating you in a happiness so contagious that even the staunchest dwarf couldn't feel his lips twitch. For the first time in a long while, people are truly happy. Their giggling laugher and blissful song forms a melody of joy no bard could contest.

Until, that is, it vanishes. That rapturous peal, replaced with the throbbing spasms of a crippling migraine. The warm light of a summer day, turned into a dense blackness so thick it's almost suffocating. Your ears ring. Blood drips down your cheek. And all around you come the sounds of pain, and the grinding echoes of crumbling rock.

As you come to your senses, the choking scent of dust consumes you. In a stark contrast to the packed and bustling streets of the festival, you feel alone.

Flavius had been watching the celebrations from a hidden spot, eager to see if any stories worth recording were happening in the festival, or if any songs sung were worthy of being written down-and then it happened.
As soon as the aasimar recovered his senses, he felt somewhat relieved that his Travelogue and writing tools were clutched tightly into his hands, almost reflexively. However, he was most intrigued about what had just happened. A demon attack?, he wondered

Zhentarim

Undeterred by the dark, Lauren's goblin eyes quickly adjusted to the underground. She looked around hoping to see somebody. She even sang out an eerie song with a grating voice like a mewing cat, hoping it created some response:

"The demons passed the wardstone/Now this goblin's all alone!/Someone scream, Someone shout,/I'll be sure to help you out!"

digiman619

2016-03-13, 03:24 AM

As his eyes adjusted, Harold mind began racing. A demon attack? Here? I thought the wardstone made this place safe?!?! No. Balance. Face the problem. He began searching for any sign of the problem, or barring that, survivors in need of help.

Anna clutches her head, pain mixed with guilt over not enjoying things when she had the chance. When she comes to, she looks around, then rubs her cheek and stares at the blood on her fingertip for a moment before unshouldering her bow and nocking an arrow, drawing back ever-so-slightly as she takes a deep breath, focusing, stalking through the streets as she keeps her eyes peeled for any survivors...Or worse, demons that had passed into the city.

Kaltan jolts up, his hand swiftly moving to ensure his sword was still at his side. Upon confirming that it is, he relaxes ever so slightly. He double checks to make sure that his shield is still present, along with ensuring his armor isn't damaged. With that settled, he stretches, finding himself miraculously without injury. This, of course, meant that his mind could turn to other questions, such as "Where the Hell am I?"

2016-03-13, 09:39 AM

As you spring into action, the memories come racing back. Memories of chaos. Intense heat. A callous darkness. But most of all, you remember the screams.

Armasse officially began at noon, heralded by the words of Lord Hulrun himself. The elderly inquisitor, still dressed in the sanctified, opulent armor of war, is the unbreakable ruler of Kenabres. Or at least, he was.

A scathing light ripped through the streets, coating the latest landscape in the shadows of men like a second sun. Hulrun's eyes widened, and so did yours. Prelate and crusader alike reached for their weapons. But, there was no time for heroics- a moment later, the sounds of destruction rained through the air. So, unfortunately, did masonry.

To the west, the armored fortress at the center of the city- the guardian of Kenabres' wardstone- had vanished. Where it had once stood was fire and lightning, with black smoke snaking up into the darkening clouds.

cecil1994

2016-03-13, 09:57 AM

A roar echoed through the streets. Terendelev, fiercest guardian of Kenabres and a storied silver wyrm in her own right, emerged from the pitiful form of a human like a butterfly leaving a cocoon.

That is, if the butterfly was hundred of feet long and coated with enough scales to armor a city.

The ancient drake, somber eyes scanning the streets for offending demons, found a foe soon enough. A nightmarish form, coated in blue fire and crackling lightning, stood five times as tall as any man. His mouth twisted into a terrible grin. Khorramshahr, the Storm King, that returned- and this time the balor would not be so easily deterred.

As the two giants clashed in the skies above, demons of all shapes and sizes poured into the streets to meet their dinners. The arrows of Lauren and Anna buried into the chests of a few, and the hacking blades and calloused fists of Kaltan, Flavius, and Harold (respectively) struck true. But it would not be enough. For every demon destroyed, ten took its place. And steaming dragon blood dripped from the heavens, as the balor lord's corrupt blade cut deep into its adversary.

The wounded drake, eyes turning milky with the encroaching march of death, crashed into the Cathedral with enough force to level a city block. The cathedral, symbol of the crusade for generations, was leveled. And as it was, a horrific demon emerged at the far end of the plaza. Its knarled claws smashed into the tiled ground, tearing a rift across the plaza any gorge- it opened between your feet, sending you spiraling into the void. But even as the silver wyrm laid in the rubble of the church- even as the Khorramshahr raised its terrible blade above its head for one last blow- the drake's eyes alighted on you, as filled with compassion as on any other day. A few words alighted from her war-torn neck, and a bloodied talon reached out in an arcane gesture. Her magic enveloped you, allaying your terrifying plummet with the gentleness of a downy bed. As you drifted into the darkness, the last thing you saw was the balor's sword flashing down. And Terendelev, greatest guardian of Kenabres, fell. She did not rise again.

cecil1994

2016-03-13, 10:03 AM

And now, you find yourself deep in that chasm. Terendelev's final magic has saved you from injury- but not discomfort, as you find yourself brushing off pounds of dust and cracked masonry from above. Those with darkvision- all but the humans, then- can make out this area as their minds clear. It is a wide cavern, filled with falling rubble and the pained bodies of everyone else. There are three other figures in the dust, however: a middle aged woman, nursing a leg bent at an unnatural angle. A scholar, feeling the void where his eyes used to be... and screaming. And a pompous aristocrat, seemingly uninjured but somehow making more of a fuss than anyone else. No one is dead, however. Thank the stars for that.

Tuvarkz

2016-03-13, 10:32 AM

Looking at the armored man, Flavius answered: "Well, it's most certainly not Hell. Father said that Hell was filled with fire and brimstone, and it doesn't fill particularly hot in here." The aasimar, then, looking in the direction of the pompous man, said: "Now, it seems like we got five able-bodied people, two injured ones, and a whiny aristocrat. Someone mind giving a lit torch to the latter so he makes himself somehow useful? But first..." Flavius then drew out a stone from his bag, and saying in Infernal "Shine bright." activated his Ioun Torch, the item's powerful light making vision clear in a 20 feet radius around him.

cecil1994

2016-03-13, 10:59 AM

The woman raises a hand to stave off the blinding light, waits for her eyes to adjust, then takes a cautious look around. Her eyes, the jaded ones of an experienced professional, dart around the room with quick precision. Her gaze alights on all of you.
"I wouldn't suppose any of you have the materials for a splint? I'm afraid this thing is useless."

She gestures to her mangled leg. The scholar, hoarse from his echoing screams, tilts his head up. His posture straightens. "Don't know how much it will help, but it's all I've got." He reaches, pawing at his midriff until his finds his belt, and then throws it in the general direction of the woman's voice. He begins tearing up his sleeves and wrapping them around his eyes. "One of you meaty warrior-types will need to be my eyes. Yes, I know you're there- you breathe like asthmatic cows. And Sir Tea-and-Crumpets over there isn't going to be of much use." He snorts in the vague direction of the nobleman, and receives a sneer in return.

EDIT: not that color 😂😂

Anna groans as she wakes up in pain, but after a brief check to make sure all her bits are in place, fumbles for her flint and steel and a torch. After another moment of figuring out where everything is, the torch is lit and Anna raises it, looking around the cavern. She looks over towards the other survivors and asks, "Is everyone alright? I have more torches if anyone wants them."

cecil1994

2016-03-13, 11:31 AM

The cavern, now lit up with the twin glows of torchlight and magic, is thrown into view. It's not much- just a circular some, with one wall littered in fallen stone and the occasional (you wince as you notice this) crushed body. It seems not everyone survived the fall.

On the other side, a tunnel spirals off into the beckoning darkness. A few dozen feet away from this mouth is a ledge, scrambling up out of view- it would be a tricky climb, but there's something glinting at the top.

As Anna offers the torches, the woman reaches out to take one. "I could use one. Names Anevia, honorary member of the Eagle Watch." She winces as she reaches forward, as her leg twitches in what must be an uncomfortable manner. She grits her teeth.

digiman619

2016-03-13, 11:36 AM

I can help, but I don't have anything to splint it with. Wait, Harold pauses as he hears the woman with torches.I think we could use a couple of torches to use as a splint.

Ionbound

2016-03-13, 12:51 PM

Anna nods to the woman and hands her the already lit one, lighting another one for herself. Then she looks over to the man that offered to help and hands him a pair, saying, "Do what you can."

Running and jumping over debris, Lauren headed in the direction of the blinded scholar. Barely tall enough to reach his hand, Lauren grasp his wrist gently and told him in a froggy not-so-pretty voice:

"Hi, I'm Lauren. I'm sorry about your eyes. I'm a skilled archer, and it would be an honor to guide a scholar such as yourself. I am an avid reader, and though your book on the worldwound is not one I took with me, I read it once in my father's study. You are a brilliant man."

Meanwhile, Lauren manifested her father's phantom to help with the rock. Choosing between incorporeal and ectoplasmic, she decided forming a link with an ectoplasmic body would better allow her father's ghost to help the lady under the rock. With that, an ectoplasmic human man with a glowing pink aura and angel wings manifested near the woman under the rock. It spoke in the most clear, sultry voice most people have ever heard in their life.

I am here to help. Do not be alarmed!

cecil1994

2016-03-13, 01:20 PM

Anevia's eyes widen, but she does not shrink away. She stays silent.

The noble, on the other hand, shrieks and draws a dagger from somewhere in his foppish attire.

"You're working with THEM!" His eyes flicker to the ceiling, and the demons above. His gaze frantically polls the group, seeking backing for what he thinks is a righteous deed.

His voice echoes out, shrill enough to break glass. "Come! Let us kill this barbaric cultist, and be free of the demons among us!"

Anna sighs and says, "Come now. Calm down. We're all here because Terendelev, in her dying act, saved us. Do you really wish to dishonor her sacrifice with in-fighting? Or do you want to help us find our way back to the surface and figure out how to fix this mess?"

With that, she promptly ignores the noble and strolls over to the ledge, producing some rope with a grappling hook attached to it and whirls it over her head, attempting to throw the hook in such a way that it catches on the ledge to allow an easier path upwards.

cecil1994

2016-03-13, 01:49 PM

You pin the fop. He glares at you, but drops his blade.

"Fine. I'll help the people I know don't consort with the Abyss."

He grabs some timber from a crushed food cart, and kicks it to Anevia. She looks grateful, if a little strained.

Meanwhile, Lauren spoke to Arivishnal, trying her best to follow the social conventions her parents taught her. She didn't always do well, as she was used to performing more random acts of kindness instead of talking with those she helped:

"Mr. Arivishnal, what can I do to make you more comfortable? I really am a fan of your work."

cecil1994

2016-03-13, 02:26 PM

Anevia seems soothed, if not entirely at ease. She relaxes, and lets the dagger she'd drawn from her boot slide back into its sheathe.

As for the scholar:

"Nice to know that my work is still appreciated. But, the best thing you could do for me is lead us out of here- I need to check on some things aboveground. "

He slowly takes to his feet, using Lauren as a crutch. "Well, lead the way."

cecil1994

2016-03-13, 02:52 PM

Anna's rope finds a hold, and she quickly scrambles up it into the crevice.

As she gets closer, it's apparent that the glinting item in question was a metal clasp- in this case, one binding a full masterwork backpack. A good haul.

But, out of the corner of her eye, she spots something... a man-sized crustacean, lurking in the surrounding rocks above you in wait for prey. It seems surprised to be noticed. In fact, you're surprised you noticed it too- its camouflage is perfectly suited to this jagged environment. Its claws clack open.

Roll initiative!
Only one person can fit in the crevice. Just a PSA.

2016-03-13, 03:06 PM

Anna leaps from the crevice, landing in a textbook roll. The bag spills out by her side. Another thing shoots out of the crack- a thin, sticky filament aimed right at Anna. She ducks out of the way, and the strand attaches to the rock right where her head was.

Woodsman

2016-03-13, 03:12 PM

Kaltan sighs, quickly checking to ensure that none present are Evil. "On my honor as a paladin of Iomedae, none here are consorting with demons," he tells the nobleman calmly. Even if this man was being rather brash, Kaltan had to show respect. "I am Kaltan Aldurius, at your services," he says to the group.

Hearing the commotion from Anna, he turns to face it, hand moving to his sword as he enters a battle stance.

Anevia nocks and fires an arrow. It lands, but the Fisher doesn't seem to mind. Aravashnial, once a potent mage, has been crippled by the loss of his sight. His head tilts side to side, but he cannot seem to pinpoint his foe.

The Cave Fisher, enraged by the constant barrage of missiles, scuttles out of the cave and raises monstrous claws to strike. Flavius' blade darts toward it in a readied attack.

Kaltan nods to Flavius. "Well fought," he says as he sheathes his weapon. He turns to face the nobleman in order to find out his name, but realizes that the man has left. "Damn it, where did he go? We can't just leave him alone down here!"

The noble emerges from behind some rubble. "Just taking cover, that's all. Wanted to stay safe- I'm not a warrior like the rest of you."

He seems innocent enough. But you can clearly see that behind his back he's placing strange, glowing silver objects into what looks like a money purse.

Jumping with joy at the sight of something shiny, the goblin girl jumped and skipped across the way towards the noble. Lauren, from the time she was young, loved shiny things. Again, with the voice of a dying cat, Lauren spoke.

"What's those shiny peices your putting in your purse-thing, Mr. Man? I wanna see! Everybody come look at this shiny things this man found! Wooooo!"

A little uncomfortable at being called out, the aristocrat's face blanches... but he pulls out the items nonetheless. Resting in his palm are 5 dragon scales, each pulsing with a solemn sort of magic.

"I didn't mean any harm, you know. I just wanted to bring them to the crusaders above. They need every bit of help they can get."

Surprisingly enough, he seems earnest about this.

After returning the aknowledgement to the paladin, Flavius commented: "Well, I guess they can be of use to the crusaders if and when we get to contact them, but they can also be useful to us in this moment." as he approached and grabbed the five scales, passing one to Kaltan, Horace, Anna and Lauren each, keeping the last one to himself. "I wonder what they do..."

cecil1994

2016-03-13, 08:09 PM

Anna looks at the dragon scales and says, "Hmm. If there are any crusaders left above. We might be all that's left. In any event...We lost a powerful force for good today. I would like to hold one, if you don't mind? Just...In memoriam. To keep her memory close to me."

The noble hesitates... and hands one off to you.

As soon as the metallic shard touches your palm, it sends emotions pulsing through you- sadness, and a fierce determination. You intrinsically know what it's capable of- it can wrap you in the shroud of deception, allow you safe passage into the camps of the enemy. It, in its own way, is an artifact.

The aristocrat seems a little affronted by this direct challenge to his authority. Nonetheless, he recognizes your intentions as good (or at least neutral :smallbiggrin:) and hands them to you.

One shard speaks of revenge, of destroying the demons so that they plague no innocent life again. Sacred Weaponry: Three times per day as a standard action, a scale can be used to cast align weapon, but only to make a weapon lawful or good. Unlike a normal align weapon spell, this effect can be cast on an unarmed strike or natural weapon.

The second and the third emanate defensiveness, a strong passion for protecting those that would fall before the Abyss.
Resistance: Three times per day as a standard action, a scale can be used to cast resist energy-but only against electricity or cold.

The final one speaks not of demons or of suffering, but of freedom. It whispers memories of joyful time spent above the clouds.
Cloudwalking: Three times per day as a standard action, a scale can be used to cast levitate. A pillar of roiling clouds rises below the levitating object or creature, growing and shrinking with the target's altitude. This pillar is 5 feet in diameter (regardless of the target's size) and provides concealment (20% miss chance) to any creature or object wholly contained within.

Harold inspects the scale, feeling its weight. We still need to fix her leg and get to safety. I have the feeling things are going to get worse before they get better.

At this, Anevia nods. "If someone will help me make a splint, I think I could walk on my own. We need to return to the city as soon as possible."

Her hand tightens around an ornate locket.

Taking the scale that provided cloudwalking, Lauren asked her grouo a pointed question in a grating voice, though it was the most pleasant voice she could muster

Hey y'all, couldn't we go back up the way we came? I am not sure if this just affects me or if it will effect a group, but one or more of us could scout the surface with this thing. At worst, only one of us could ascend, but then least one of us could loot some shops for supplies and come back down here. At best, we could all join hands and clamber to the surface to find help.

At this point, Lauren's Phantom Father intervened:

"My daughter has a point. As a late demonologist, I say there are more dangers down here than up there.

Aravashnial frowns.

"A good idea, small one. And one worthy of testing. I do have my doubts, however- I am not sure that scale could support all eight of us. It may be a powerful artifact, but the pillar it creates is still only five feet wide."

He tilts his head towards the ceiling.
"And do correct me if I'm wrong, dear child, but I cannot feel the light of the sun on my skin. It is still afternoon, I think- I am fairly sure something up there is blocking the path."

Kaltan sighs in relief that the nobleman was safe and hadn't run off. He looks around at this little band of survivors, frowning. He prays silently that this is not all that is left of Kenabres. Even so, making it to the surface is his top priority. "I agree. The sooner we arrive at the surface, the faster we can organize a defense of the city. Or an evacuation, more likely. In any case, we should tend to any injuries there are and then get moving."

The noble nods. "We must return at once. Not only do I wish to check up on the city, but I need to return to my estate itself- I must see if my people (and my property, of course) has survived."

He gazes upon Anevia with a degree of age-old suspicion, but a fair amount of newfound sympathy. "And someone should help bind her leg."

He lets out a rare smile. "I'm Horgus, by the way. Of the family Gwerm. I'm sure we'd compensate you very well if you helped me escape to the surface- so lead the way.

Anna briefly investigates the backpack she had tossed to the ground, checking it for anything useful, then climbs back up the rope into the crevice she was investigating earlier, hoping that there might be a way out of the cavern through the way that she had already investigated.

The bag is weathered and old, coated in the dust of decades past. An aged symbol of Iomedae marks its exterior.

It contains 10 days of trail rations, a flint and steel, a set of caltrops, two flasks of oil, a bundle of 12 arrows, a potion of cure light wounds, and a potion of lesser restoration.

It has kept surprisingly well.

Anna smiles as she slides the arrows into her quiver and place the potions, rations, caltrops, and oil in her pack, slotting the flint and steel in her belt pouch as she whispers, "Thank you, Iomedae. Please keep watch over us all...We need your strength." then clambers up into the crevice to inspect it further.

The crevice is cramped and uncomfortable, more reminiscent of a really jagged broom cupboard than any true tunnel. But, you can tell that it opens up into another cavern just a little farther up.

2016-03-14, 10:53 AM

Anna smiles as she sees the passage, and calls down to the group, "I can see another cave through here! I'm going to check it out!" then slides through the crevice to get to the other, larger cavern.

You emerge in a ovalular cavern, shrouded in rubble and falling dust. To your left, there's a dilapidated campsite in front of a tunnel entrance- in the camp, a citizen from above has fallen. Their corpse is being chewed upon by mangy, feral doggos whose matted fur is a sickening green.

Anna looks back to the cavern she came from and says, "Some...Green, dog-things, eating a dead body. I'm going to keep going, this extends a good ways. Someone grab my hook if you guys come this way." then sallies forth into the next section of the cave.

You traverse the rocky floor, heading to the tunnel entrance... and hear a hissing.

There's a very pissed snake lurking under the rocks. It gives you a wary look, and bares its fangs.

You cleanse your system of the venom, and forge onwards.

Despite some rather angsty hissing you can't escape from (perhaps you're imagining it?), you reach the mouth of the tunnel unmolested. As you peer down it, you can see that it goes a very, very long way. So far that you cannot see an end.

Breaking stealth, as Lauren decided she wouldn't see anything for a while, Lauren began to hustle, moving 80 feet per round. She kept her eyes peeled for anything unusual. She had the feeling she would see something before long.

Bustling along at those speeds, it's not long before you run out of breath. It's also not long before you come across a strange visage.

On the tunnel wall, a crack opens up- it leads into a cave, one spilling a putrid green light. Strange, lifelike carvings of people mar the walls near it- people bent prostrate in deference to some unseen god. Yet it feels like the god is... below them?

To the right, the tunnel carries on.

Kaltan doubles back momentarily to ensure that the others are gathered at the tunnel entrance while they wait for Lauren. He checks on Anevia, Aravashnial, and Horgus as well, ensuring that the three of them are all right as far as the circumstances go.

They're all good. Anevia and Aravashnial are slowly making their way across the cave. Very slowly- Aravashnial's self-designated guide, Lauren, buggered off and left.

Horgus shifts impatiently.

"Shouldn't we follow them? I remind you, I need to get out of here as soon as possible. I am paying you, after all."

Anevia looks uncertain about the prospect of traveling further into the catacombs, but Aravashnial does a little jig- the man is obviously fascinated.

"And besides that, think of the things we could see down here! Or rather... you could see.

But besides! I've heard rumors of the descendants of the First Crusade fleeing into these mazes, ostracized and exiled for what the abyssal energies had done to them. Think what it could do for us if we could discover them!"

Anevia scoffs. "Stop with your crackpot theories, old man."

She turns to Flavius.

"This lunatic has been spouting conspiracy theories since before I was born. He's just clinging to the idea that there's actually proof of one of them- and he's gonna drag you all to the Abyss to find some."

However, estimated employer, the rest of the group is scouting ahead, so, for your safety, let's wait until we hear further notice of what they find ahead before moving forward. We'll go further as soon as it's safe for you three to do so."
Listening attently to the blind man's words, Flavius seemed to give little care to Anevia's words. "Why are you bringing this up when he hasn't started talking about the topic again?"

Anevia's mouth tightens.

"Because I refuse to let this be another damned expedition, founded by his ambition and destroyed by his madness. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go make sure the rest of you don't do anything regrettable."

She stomps off down the tunnel, as fast as her mangled leg would allow.

Hargus raises an eyebrow. "Well, that was ugly."
He chuckles.

As you enter, the ominous stench becomes undeniable- it is the scent of death.

And thus, this stone courtyard is littered in the bodies of vermin. Every step you take crunches, and after barely a few paces your boots are completely covered in the remains of dead flies. This temple has been perverted, its message of the sanctity of life corrupted into a grotesque aura of death. What is unclear, still, is exactly why.

The shrine- more of a bunker, really- has no windows of any sort. The only way in is a thick stone door.

On impact... it shatters, without even bypassing the man's (woman's? illithid's?) cloak. The creature stands up, and slowly turns.

The hood falls. Beneath it... you see a horrible monstrosity, decrepit flesh and stretched skin over an eternally screaming face. Grafted to its forehead is the holy symbol of Torag, the Hammer- but cracked and marred to be almost unrecognizable.

The creature lets out a horrific wail. It charges.

"Fortunately for us, this is clearly a threat," Kaltan says, stepping forward and slashing at the creature with his katana.

Lauren screeched a lecture on the creature

"This nightmare is a Huecava, the risen corpse of a blasphemous priest. Cursed by a god for their heresy, they are bound to this plane in horrifying forms- and lose their sanity as a result. They are the bearers of disease, with tough skin (vulnerable to magic or silver) and an exceptional ability to resist clerics that still remain among the living."

The ethereal weapon dissipating from his hands, Flavius stepped backwards, taking a moment to regain a better footing and empower himself with psionic power!

"The temple was likely defiled...perhaps we should offer our prayers to the gods to restore their grace upon this place?" commented Flavius, his eyes darting around looking for any particular details inside the temple he might have not noticed yet in the midst of combat.
((Taking 10 on Perception for a result of 17))

The temple is a humble one, even in ruin. There isn't much that's not broken, besides- but somewhere in the cracked masonry lies an ornate pouch, with a gilded warhammer resting beside it.

The temple proper seems restorable. It would take a lotttttttt of work, though.

Zhentarim

Anna nods and says, "Indeed. If we cannot make it to the surface, then none of this matters. We must press on," as she begins looking for an exit to the chapel further towards the surface...Surely there must have been a way for worshipers to enter and exit, a way that could prove to be their escape.

Actually, it looks as if the worshippers were never intended to leave.

Torag doesn't give up his worshippers of the earth too easily.

Tuvarkz

Flavius pocketed the vials and the ring before returning to the group, saying: "Indeed, let's get back on track."

cecil1994

2016-03-25, 01:28 PM

You guys leave the shattered temple, and rejoin the long and knotted tunnel.

It leads you for quite a while, traveling up and up further back towards the city. Finally, you find yourselves in a huge, abandoned cavern- one littered with the dust-ridden statues of ancient crusaders. Every figure's face bears some distant expression of loss.

Zhentarim

2016-03-25, 01:33 PM

Lauren looked about the cavern.
"What is this? Do we have any history experts here?"

Tuvarkz

2016-03-25, 02:16 PM

"Not myself. Horgus, Arashvanial?" looking at those two, the aasimar then started describing the statues to the blind elf as accurately as possible.

Woodsman

2016-03-25, 02:28 PM

Kaltan walks up to one of the statues, admiring it. "Who were you to feel such loss?" he asks softly, lighting laying his hand on the stone. He bows his head in respect, for whoever they were, they were clearly Crusaders-- men and women who stood against the forces of the Abyss to protect Golarion.

He turns back to the group. "I'm afraid I don't know who these statues are of either."

cecil1994

2016-03-25, 02:40 PM

In one of the statues you inspect, you notice a destroyed nest. Obsidian egg fragments marr the floor around it.

Somewhere, you hear the fluttering of fragile wings. Roll perception.

Hiding on one of the statues are two tentacled beasts- with wings protruding from slimy backs and a sharp beak, they're certainly... weird.

They let out a horrendous caw.

Lauren's phantom enters the alcove, and you see what it sees... and resist the urge to vomit.

The walls are coated in runes of blood. Harvested creatures of all shapes and sized litter the floor, their essence fueling potent and cruel magics. It feels like something out of a children's tale- if the storyteller had some depressed urge to mentally scar the poor kids.

Faint babbling seems to radiate from the walls. Is it coming... from the floor?

Flavius alone hears a shift in the earth- a traveler in the stone.

And behind you, a craggy figure emerges- a dwarf half-made of rock with strange lettering carved into his stint hide. Spittle flies from his chapped lips as he screams out- "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME BACK!!!! YOU'LL NEVER INTERUPTED MY RESEARCH AGAIN!!"

He murmurs a few words, and twists his hand. Everyone other than Flavius (who manages to twist out of range) takes 7 points of damage as stalagmites erupt around you. This area is now difficult terrain.

Breathing heavily, Harold struggles to hold on.

Lauren let out a horrible scream as the stones pummeled her. She survived, however, and looked for wounded party members. Lauren, though injured herself, jaunted towards Harold to heal him. On the way towards Harold, she cloaked herself so the monsterous dwarf couldn't see her.

Aravashnial begins to murmur. The air around him grows thick with magic, and grasping tendrils leak in from other places- unexplainable, undeniable power.

Anevia's arrow flies past him. It buried in the dwarf's rocky hide with no sign of ill effects.

The spellcaster roars, and drifts away- the earth carrying him like newborn child. He stops 5 ft away from Flavius, and fires two egg-shaped missiles in his direction. These arcane pulses find their mark- take 7 points of damage.

Breathing heavily, Harold continues to struggle to hold on.
Now at -2 HP, so now it's a net -1. *blows on die* [roll0]
Well, now the dice clearly hates me.

Trying to keep his calm upon taking damage, Flavius let his dagger fall to the floor, drawing instead a rapier out of psionic energy and striking at the spellcaster as he stepped foward!

Drop one dagger as free, Call the Soul's blade to produce a rapier as swift, then 5-foot step forwards and attack with Disturbing Blow. On hit, the enemy takes a -4 to its next d20 roll.

Lauren attempted to stabilize Harold. She whispered to him as she worked on his wounds.
"Don't Worry, I'm here."

Kaltan shouts again, trying to draw the foe's attention away from Flavius, and slashes at the mage again.

The air around Aravashnial crackles and shifts, opening up a portal to something Else. A hound leaps from it. Aravashnial's shrill voice commands it to "Kill the damn rock already!", and it complies- sinking fangs deep into the earthen shell of the dwarf. The dwarf howls.

The remains of the rocky mass shifts away, and a cracked hand raised in a fervent expression of defiance. "FALLLLLLLLL!!!!" echoes from a craggy mouth.

Tendrils of chilled fervor burst from his palm, engulfing Kaltan, Flavius, and the celestial hound. Roll me will saves.
