    Begin Round 13 ...

    Khelru moves across the sands to Azaz, leaving his staff behind, and using the wand on himself to heal Azaz of 8. Khelru doesn't dodge the lightning this time, however, taking 20 electricity (disabled).

    Meanwhile, Farhan invisibly moves to flank with Merry. He then becomes visible as he uses a crushing blow against FC1, doing 43 and causing him to be flat-footed. The cultist turns spins around and wildly misses the emir, exhausting himself in the process. Arion, likewise invisible, moves up stealthily towards the point below the flying mage, trying to be stealthy by leaving as little trail as possible.

    The maimed cultist continues to bleed.

    Merry bites the flanked cultist for 15, but the cultist is a true fanatic and does not fall.

    Azaz sends 2 magical bolts streaking towards the flying mage to hit him for 9 force.

    End Round 13 ...

    Begin Round 14 ...

    Khelru uses the wand on himself for 6. He is so weak he doesn't have the strength to jump out of the way of the next lightning strike that does 24 electricity! Khelru is killed outright. Azaz screams as his lover gets toasted.

    Farhan is horrified by Khelru's death, but his body does hold something that he desperately needs and might be able to use. But first, he has to finish off the man the two cultists. He strikes down the cultist threatening Merry. The man's body explodes in a bright white flame, doing 12 fire to Merry and 6 fire to Farhan. Azaz' camel is immolated. Farhan then moves over to Khelru's fallen body.

    Invisibly, Arion uses his spell kenning to cast fly on himself and then shoots upwards to an altitude of 30'.

    The last cultist is now disabled, but refuses to give up as he continues to bleed. Merry runs at the maimed cultist to put him out of his misery. The cultist finally is killed in a white hot flame that does 9 fire to Merry.

    Azaz is beyond his abiity to think, stalks foward, and sends up a force missile to strike the enemy caster for 4 force.

    Begin Round 15 ...

    The enemy sorcerer flies almost directly above Azaz and sends down a bolt of lightning that strikes the young noble for 13 electricity.

    Farhan quietly takes the healing wand out of Khelru's dead grasp and tries to be stealthy. He then moves up by Azaz and quietly asks the badly wounded Keleshyte, "Can you use the healing wand?"

    Arion invisibly flies up and over towards the sorcerer. Mu goes over to Azaz and changes form to his real hound archon form.

    "Badly, but yes," he says, but focuses on the defensive as he takes out his own wand and uses it on himself and disappears.

    Begin Round 16 ...

    The enemy sends down his last lightning bolt at Mery-anpu, who doesn't quite dodge and gets hit squarely .... only to not take any damage at all!

    By now, Arion is no longer wounded. He casts a spell that the enemy caster can hear, but flies around so he cannot be easily pinpointed.

    Mery-anpu casts CCW on himself for 20 healing.

    Azaz reappears and Farhan verbally coordinate so Azaz can take the healing wand and know where Farhan is, but fails to activate the wand.

    Begin Round 17 ...

    The enemy begins casting a spell, and Arion sees how dangerous a spell is that he's casting and attempts to attack him from invisibility. Luckily, the blink effect doesn't protect the sorcerer as he gets struck by the small starknife for 11, seeming to ignore the fire. At the same time, a defensive shock counters against Arion for 29 electricity! Arion now appears above the sorcerer, but his sacrifice was not in vain as the spell the sorcerer was casting is lost. Arion's boyish cry peals out from on high.

    Arion heals a little of the pain. Arion thinks about his options, and realizing that the sorcerer ignored his fiery starknife, ignores the instinct to shoot him with a ray of fire. Observing him quickly, he realizes this man is actually not a "true" human, but a cheitan ... a servitor race bred by the efreet, though given he has no efreet paraphernalia, this one is without service to a flamed lord. He recognizes a cheitan as an outsider, but a mortal one, and one still normally requiring sleep. He begins to sing the same type of song that put Farhan's entire domestic house asleep before.

    He is successful, but in that success, everyone falls asleep ... the cult leader, Mery-anpu, Farhan, Azaz (both still invisible), even all of the camels below.

    The cultist falls 50' to the sands below, taking a mere 8 in doing so (softer, silty sand, and his sleeping body is more relaxed). He is instantly awakened, but still prone.

    He then flies down to a point above the leader.

    Begin Round 18 ...

    Not seeing anyone threatening him, the enemy stands unhindered. He casts charm monster at Arion to end the fight quickly, but the flying skald is too wilful.

    Arion heals a little, and realizing that things are not likely to go well for him now that he is all alone, he casts heroism on himself to give him a boost.

    End Round 18, Begin Round 19 ...

    Khabekh-Shu steps over to Azaz' fallen body, takes out his dagger and then shows Arion that he is willing to simply slit the man's throat.

    Arion creates a collective with Merry and Azaz, and then shrieks over the collective to wake them up. He then flies down to a height of 20'.

    Mery-anpu stands suddenly and the enemy punches at him but hits armor only. He then casts CCW on himself for 21 healing.

    Azaz then taps himself with the wand of CLW but fails to activate it.

    End Round 19, Begin Round 20 ...

    The cultist defensively casts a spell and then touches Azaz, doing 16 and regaining the same as THP. This is enough to drop Azaz.

    Arion uses a special maneuver making it look like his flying starknife ports in and out of position to strike the man for 10, though he seems to suffer no fire. Nova returns to Arion's hand.

    Mu casts protection from energy [fire] on himself, and the cultist was too distracted to recognize it.

    Begin Round 21 ...

    A little scorpion scuttles out of Azaz's tunic and goes to the wand, it holds the wand now.

    Khabekh-shu now has only a little boy to deal with. He looks upwards at the flying runt and casts a spell in a wide cone that removes all of the heat in the area, blasting Arion for 16 cold (with him having given a quick word to buoy himself against the full might of the spell)!

    Farhan awakes, finding himself asleep on the ground, and still invisible. He realizes his vampiric might is no longer in effect, stands, and grabs his axe. ("I am awake," he tepes.)

    Arion is worried, even as his healing provides a trickle of relief. He casts a spell and lets loose a mouthed scream heard only by Khabekh-Shu. The enemy never expected such a tactic as he is dazed and takes 20 sonic damage.

    Mu gets back into his aggressive stance and grabs the sorcerer.

    End Round 21, Begin Round 22 ...

    Amazingly, Zazu is able to get the wand to work on Azaz for 6, but most importantly to stop the bleeding.

    Farhan also gets into a similar stance as Mu, and then brings his axe down on the dazed sorcerer, but somehow .... he misses. Now he's visible.

    The sorcerer regains his wits, finding himself held by a hound archon. Arion heals a little, and from his elevated position casts a different spell. This time, it is resisted.

    Mu keeps his hold and squeezes, doing 14.

    End Round 22, Begin Round 23 ...

    Zazu fails to get a second wand working, so it just takes cover by its master.

    The sorcerer tries to wriggle free, but fails. Farhan recovers and tries again, and this time cuts deep for 43.

    Arion heals a little and finds his limbs even quicker than before. Now focused, he begins a song of mockery, making fun of everything about the spellcaster. Khabekh-Shu rails and froths at the humiliation. Arion then tries the spell the sorcerer resisted previously, as he takes out a little feather and points it at the grappled man. He still resists, but this time just barely.

    Mu barely keeps ahold of the man, and does another 14.

    End Round 23, Begin Round 24 ...

    Normally, Khabekh-Shu would have tried to slip out again, but infuriated as he is he seethes for blood. So he tries a more subtle way to get what he wants, attempting to charm the deadly axeman. He easily deals with the grappling and the bardic effect to cast his spell, but little does he know that his target - Farhan, the Emir of Pisiris - is a man trained to defy the dominations of vampires, and the charm finds no purchase. For his temerity, Farhan wind up for another telling blow, but his foe's magical protections turn aside the axe.

    Arion continues his taunts, and despite his continued singing, casts a spell to turn him invisible.

    Mery tries to squeeze again, but fails and the enemy is freed.

    End Round 24, Begin Round 25 ...

    Khabekh-Shu withdraws in flight and anguish, and the heroes are too exhausted to give chase.

    Combat Ends ...

    "Disoriented" is effectively the prone condition, but in water. Regardless of how your body is situated in regards to gravity, you feel upended, and need to spend a MA to come out of the disoriented state (provokes AOOs) as normal, but not doing so means that while you can begin getting a sense of surroundings, you take normal prone penalties until such time as you spend a MA.

    R1T29: *Splash! Gag! Spit* Telgarana struggles to right herself, but ends up finding out that in doing so she is able to stand up and have half of her body out of the warm water. She looks around. The air in this room is almost uncomfortably warm and filled with steam. A grand, tiled bathing pool, the waters steaming hot, sits at the center of the room where Telly is now, while two large red panels stand in the east and west walls. However, the panel to the west is split in half and opened, revealing that side is actually a door.

    R1T27: In the other room, The Scribe stands up from being at the altar, but he does so with more speed and verve than expected. He takes a ballistic arc to smack against the ceiling (6 damage) and then land prone by Erima (5 damage). With a groan, he much more gingerly picks himself up. "Ow."

    R1T23: Fallon casts shield on herself and then flies out the door and disappears as she fishhooks around the corner that leads north.

    R1T20: Iluvar, you are "disoriented" (see above) underwater and you didn't get a chance to take a breath for falling in, so you are already out of air. What do you do?

    R1T20: Iluvar opens his eyes, but is confused by what appears to be light suffusing the water - which is unexpected. He sees something right by him and he pushes off of it. In pushing off of it, he notes that it is soft and gave some. Iluvar then senses his way up, standing up in the water to get a big breath. He sees Telgarana 10' from him, recovering from being nearly knocked over as she was the one Iluvar pushed off of. The air in this room is almost uncomfortably warm and filled with steam. A grand, tiled bathing pool, the waters steaming hot, sits at the center of the room where Telly is now, while two large red panels stand in the east and west walls.

    R1T3: Erima steps towards the door, but at some point her thoughts go to defense. She only gets a few feet before her body extrudes a faintly luminescent, opaque, green substance from her body that covers over her, hardens, and is shaped into a full suit of jade-like armor. "Damn, that feels weird."

    R2T29: After steadying herself she says to Illuvar, "We don't know where we are, and most likely the folks we're supposed to meet have no idea to expect us. Let's get out of this steam bath, dry up, rest, and wait and see if they find us."

    R2T27: The Scribe looks bug-eyed at Erima while picking up his ranseur, "Erima. You may want to take out a mirror, but you are curiously covered in an ectoplasmic construction of heavy armor, much like a psionic aegis."

    R2T23: Telgarana and Iluvar, a woman with two pairs of diaphonous, insect-like wings comes flying into the room with a shining rapier in hand. She calls out behind her. "We have company! Two bogeys in the bathing room. Mauve-cheveaux'd elf and a monk with a punk!"

    R3T29: Bristling for a moment. Telgarana replies. "Enough comments about my hair! Elves sometimes DO have purple hair, and occasionally they pass it down to their half-human descendants! And what do you have against the fey anyway?"

    She stands up holding out both hands "We mean no ill will to folk of good and/or honest intent, in fact I have the strong sense that we might be needed. But we'd really appreciate an opportunity to rest or at least dry off."

    R3T27: "Your .... armor," says The Scribe to Erima. "You form ectoplasm like an aegis."

    He recovers his shock. "We heard a loud splashing to the north from the bathing room. Come..."

    And with that, he moves past Erima, but then speeds up dramatically until he runs into the wall and falls down.

    R3T23: The fey woman smiles with a tinkling laughter, "My, you're defensive. I simply called out that you had a riot of violet chillin' on your melon. I'm pretty sure I used no judgmental speech."

    She makes no move to help, more dumbfounded with amusement than anything else.

    R1T17: Erima tries to see if the magic of the place is still available. As before, her spells do not come to her. Yet, as she concentrates, she gets a tingling that yes, in the direction she is looking ... which only includes the plate, not the statue ... she does sense power in that area.

    Everyone else, there is a strange crackling sound as Erima's form form fades from view, and then quickly reappears, as if nothing happened.

    R1T14: The Scribe touches the statue he is at, now with a more defined glow and the audible hum. He then moves past Erima to get to the next statue, poised to touch it.

    R1T13-7: Green closes on Fallon and attacks, as does Brown. Red double moves across the vast room to cut off any escape.

    R2T24: Telgarana delays ...

    R2T19: Blue recovers from its charge, attacking Fallon furiously.

    R2T18: Fallon fakes out Blue with swordwork, then stabs it in one of its weirdly-shaped feet with her rapier for 18, disabling the creature.

    R2T17: Erima, your first round of detect psionics is complete, and you are looking due west ... which covers the western platform, but not the statue.

    R2T17: Erima keeps concentrating, trying to get more information about the auras. Erima senses the following seven eleven auras...
    Spoiler: Erima - Detect Magic
    Show
    One aura coming from the western platform - strong conjuration.

    One aura, but of mixed conjuration/transmutation, coming from the bath in the other room to the west.

    The rest are from The Scribe: an aura of faint transmutation on his boots; aura of moderate divination at his eyes; aura of faint divination from his actively lit wayfinder; strong varied coming from the ioun stone inset into the Shard of Pride that he wears on a lanyard under his clothes; faint aura of abjuration on a wand at his belt; a mixture of moderate conjuration and faint evocation on Xin-Rithux (his ranseur); faint evocation on his composite longbow; moderate conjuration on the striking surfaces of his body; faint abjuration on the chain shirt under his robe.

    R2T14: The Scribe touches the outstretched hand of the statue, bringing magical energies to a crescendo ... and Iluvar disappears from sight. The statues and platforms cease glowing, and the arcane hum "powers down."
    [SPOILER=Iluvar]R2T13-7: Iluvar, you suddenly appear in a scene of battle! Something hideous attacks you with claws and teeth, but your innate senses protect you. You see another one attack Fallon, critting her in the belly, and yet doing no damage to her. Yet a third one of these things sidesteps and now flanks Iluvar, slashing his left shoulder for 5, slashing his left upper arm for 5, and missing with a bite.[/SPOILER]

    R2T2: Rezah touches his statue again, re-starting the process.

    R3T24:
    Telly comes out of delay to step over to the SE statue and touches that one.

    R3T17: Erima, you can get no more information with detect psionics along this line of bearing at this time. What do you do?

    Spoiler: Elsewhere (Iluvar)
    Show
    R2T6: Iluvar takes a look at these things, easily assessing what they are. He greets Fallon, "How are you doing there Fallon? Friends of yours?"

    He gives a quiet prayer to Pharasma to help him hasten the sinspawn's meeting with his Lady. He punches the lustspawn in the kidney with a quick jab for 11, stunning it. The creature doubles over in pain, and Iluvar follows up with a knee to its neck for 14. He then drops it with an elbow strike for 8.

    "We were just getting acquainted," begins Fallon, appearing in some distress, but looking at Iluvar with a "thirsty" eye.

    R3T19: Blue snaps at Fallon, but is then overcome by its wounds and drops to the ground.

    R3T18: Fallon looks at Iluvar, "You are looking way better than you did before, so perhaps I better be defensive right now." She commits to total defense with her rapier, and tries to acrobatically clear the area, but she is moving almost like she's drunk. Still, despite being not acrobatic at all, it is proof that "drunken style" works as the lustspawn threatening her fails to take advantage of the opening.

    R3T17: Dropping concentration on her power, Erima touches the third statue and then goes over to stand on the central platform.

    R3T14: The Scribe zooms over and touches the last statue, instantly transporting Erima elsewhere, and all the statues and platforms power down.

    Show
    Erima appears in an alcove of a massive room where there's a fight well underway.

    R3T13-7: A weird creature (Green) responds to Erima's sudden appearance by scratching and biting at her, but Erima finds her cool new armor more than enough to rebuff ... her? It is a hairless humanoid with perfectly formed, though sexualized, features ... which are then marred by its hideous face and claws. Another one of these creatures sidesteps a little and begins its onslaught against Iluvar, but the monk's defenses are more than a match to block the horror.

    R3T6: Iluvar, what do you do?

    R3T6: "Erima, Fallon, these creatures are aberrations called lustspawn. Their bite will affect your mind to create an unnatural lust", Iluvar points out.
    He then attacks blue lustspawn with a knee to Blue's solar plexus for 8, and as is the weakness now verified with the second such struck sinspawn, as with most aberrations they aren't great at handling physical shocks to their system as Blue is now stunned. He then does a front snap kick to Blue's left lower arm for only a jab, but the shock of pain for 6 is enough to drop Blue. Iluvar then does a knee drop onto Blue for 14, while at the same time sending out a sweeping rear kick to Green with ANOTHER crit that does a SEVERE WOUND with that roundhouse kick that catches a surprised green in the belly for 19, and with that roundhouse then gets a free attack at the fallen Blue, Brown, and Red, delivering a death blow to all of them.

    R4T18: "Trust me, Iluvar," says Fallon, "what I want to do to you right now? Well, they call it 'doing what comes naturally.'"

    She closes on the last sinspawn (Green) to stab it in the head for 17, dropping it.

    "Say, you don't happen to have one of those pesky vows of celibacy, do you?" she says, looking rather saucy in her diaphonous fey clothing.

    R4T17: Erima, what do you do? Do you clear the area in case another ally comes 'porting through?

    This cavernous hall is made of marble, with two rows of pillars carved to resemble tree trunks supporting the ceiling thirty feet above. The frescoed ceiling is painted to depict the canopy of foliage such trees would produce, and a star-flooded sky, full moon aglow, peeks through the boughs here and there. A lavish rug, colored burnt orange shot through with threads of gold, runs the length of the room. Two great tapestries of rich burgundy hang from the sides of a balcony on the east wall that overlooks the ballroom from a height of thirty feet, while at the opposite end of the room, four statues of a beautiful woman guard a large stage.

    When you first enter this room, they’re greeted by what might be an unexpected sight—a grand masked ball in full swing. Dozens of men and women dressed in fine clothing dance to the music of a small orchestra on the stage, while just below the stage sits none other than Runelord Sorshen herself on a ruby throne, clad in a scandalously revealing gown. As the PCs enter, she rises from the throne and claps her hands twice. This causes the orchestra to fall silent and the members of the dance to immediately hush and turn their attention to her as she speaks.

    “Oh my sweet subjects,” she coos, her voice seductive and penetrating. “Now is the time for us to enjoy the succulent fruits of our labor. I give you license to indulge your appetites, every unexpressed libidinous impulse, for by such indulgences you honor me. Those who would interfere with this sacrament are like the blind chastising the sighted for looking with pleasure upon a rainbow. Why, some in our midst this very moment actively work against us—obstacles between us and the indulgence of our passions. Behold the cold and bloodless prudes who even now stand before us!”

    At this point, all turn to face the PCs, their expressions a mixture of contempt and disgust. One looming man dressed in green-and-gold robes raises an accusing finger at the PCs and yells venomously: “The proper place for those without the Inner Fire is the grave! Come, let us drag them there!” At this command, the crowd surges toward the PCs in an angry mob, emitting a unified, growing howl of fury.

    Begin Round One ...

    R1T25:
    Fallon instantly lets loose with a grease spell right in front of the party to control the revelers' point of approach. All of the party-goers manage to resist falling on the grease.

    R1T22: "There's no way that is Runelord Karzoug, the runelord of greed," harrumphs The Scribe. He gives a good hard stare and then calls out, "It's a powerful illusion. The revelers aren't real. And that isn't Runelord Sorshen down there on the throne."

    R1T19: Telgarana isn't so sure and jumps out of formation to strike down a party-goer, but as soon as she does all of the revelers disappear, leaving only one distant creature still visible.

    R1T16: Iluvar, what do you do? Mind the black spot, which is grease.
