Re: Serpent's Skull [Racing to Ruin] (IC)
Fronaldo goes to sleep like a good little murder hobo, exhausted from the days exertions. The next morning he will prepare the same extracts and mutagen and will atune his dagger. If time allows he will try to stabilize the lesser wasp venom he collected. He is then ready to nosh on some Dino meat and head out to explore the Ziggurat.

Re: Serpent's Skull [Racing to Ruin] (IC)
In the morning, before moving, Xhanfaerd casts one more lesser restoration to get rid of the last traces of the poison, before shrouding himself in force.
Spoiler: OOCSo afaik I need one more cast of Lesser Restoration, and then I'll cast Mage Armor on myself.

Re: Serpent's Skull [Racing to Ruin] (IC)
Oathday, 30 Kuthona 4710 AR (Last Quarter Moon)
Weather: 100/80F. Precipitation: Downpour (> 1-1/2" rain). Humidity: Saturated (affective temp 105-125F).
The party wakes up to sheets and sheets of rain pounding the jungle floor and blasting through the canopy overhead. Worse, you wake up and you are already feeling miserable. Just, hot, and sticky, and yuck.
Aron, not having slept all night so everyone can heal, is fatigued. There are no birds to see, and a lot of mud, so she reads the entrails of one of the dinosaurs that were killed (as you don't eat the entrails), for her daily divinations.
Fronaldo, would you be willing to use four charges on your wand of endure elements to help everyone today?
Xhanfaerd, you (as with everyone else) are now clear of any effects of the remains of the poison, as well as a light sprain from yesterday.

Re: Serpent's Skull [Racing to Ruin] (IC)
Book rises and stretches his limbs. Sighing, he looks to Aron and says, "What a glorious day to be alive... Well, my lady... You look... Amazing for not having much sleep... Thank you for last night." and winks to Fronaldo.
He will then go about his morning routine, packing gear and readying to move out.Can I have a Mountain Dew? Where are the Cheetos?

Re: Serpent's Skull [Racing to Ruin] (IC)
Fronaldo visibly stiffens, hand reaching for his dagger before shaking off the impulse to gut the infuriating statuesque man. He produces a wand from his pack and enchants the party members against the elements. He himself seems unaffected by the pouring rain and mud, skipping lightly through the puddles with nary a splash.

Re: Serpent's Skull [Racing to Ruin] (IC)
Sooo ... you've taken several routes. Straight up the middle, from the west and near the aqueduct, or coming in all the way from the north and directly to the ziggurat.

‘Maybe we should move our camp closer to the North Entrance? Something tells me that the continued exploration of the Ziggurat (and the significance of the map room we found there) is going to make it our main focus for some time.”

Re: Serpent's Skull [Racing to Ruin] (IC)
Aron nods her head, "Fair point. Xhanfaerd, do you dissent with that plan ... to decamp here and set back up closer to the northern entrance to Tazion?"

Re: Serpent's Skull [Racing to Ruin] (IC)
The tents are struck and the party decamps to an area about 500 yards from the main entrance. Close enough to be convenient, far enough away so that cooking/disease-warding fires the party makes won't be seen or noticed from within Tazion. Tents are reset .... and all of this, in the downpour of the day, which slows everything down ... it still isn't as bad as all that. It is about noon. You could get in some exploration. And with coming in from the north and right to the ziggurat in this wet muck, at least you aren't likely to be spotted on the outside given weather conditions.
Does the rain get you down and you mope for the day, or do you put in a little less than a half day of exploration?11APR2024: Completed reading Paizo's Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Demons Revisited (2013, Jacobs).

Re: Serpent's Skull [Racing to Ruin] (IC)
Fronaldo is hardly dampened and raring to go. In fact, he seems to almost have a magical barrier protecting him from the rain and muck. Curious…

Re: Serpent's Skull [Racing to Ruin] (IC)
With a majority ... as Aron was on the fence about sloshing around ... the party moves out. They enter the northern Tazion "entrance" and quickly look for the expected trap in the downpour. Even with the environmental conditions they easily find and disarm it and then make their way around to the south side of the ziggurat, which is where the entrance is. They pass by the dead hulks of the wasps at the entrance and return to the main hall. Almost half of this cavernous chamber surrounds the smaller, inner structure where you had fought the queen. The ceiling has collapsed in some places, and a tangle of vines, mosses, and other plants grow in the thick mud covering the floor.
Where to from here?11APR2024: Completed reading Paizo's Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Demons Revisited (2013, Jacobs).

“I am going to check out the wasp queen area first.”
Fronaldo prepares and quaffs a flask of green liquid. His green skin becomes scaly in appearance.
He then moves North and then West, moving slowly and quietly. He explores and searches the Queen wasp’s chamber.
Spoiler: crunch
He quaffs his mutagen so his features take on a reptilian cast.
Moving half speed and using stealth; magic dagger out.
Fronaldo moves North and then West to explore and search the queen wasp’s chamber.

Re: Serpent's Skull [Racing to Ruin] (IC)
A bulging conglomeration of layered paper and mud completely fills this small room, though the dead queen takes up her share of space. More of the papery substance clings to the surrounding stonework, securing the mass to the walls, floor, and ceiling. A few feet above the floor, a wide hole burrows into the structure.

Re: Serpent's Skull [Racing to Ruin] (IC)
Good thing, too ... as the rest of the party comes into the room.
See, while Fronaldo is very clever and likewise brilliant at certain types of traps and so forth, he is the least .. how whall we say ... aware? ... member of the party. He has so much energy normally that he tends to be very peripatetic. He never really takes the time to focus. And whether his mutagen is more felinoid or reptilian, the result is the same: he is too hyperactive to really take good note of his surroundings.
But then, he is really the chemical expert and troubleshooter in the party, the "little muscle," even ... but not a keey-eyed archaeologist.
The party looks around, and there are no eggs or anything to worry about crushing or not crushing. There is, however, something that Fronaldo overlooked. Or, would it be underlooked? For, up in the "ceiling" of wasp paper, there is a tunnel going upwards there.Last edited by lostsole31; 2021-10-14 at 10:36 PM.
