"What tha hells' wrong wit' those things?" Kadol remarks, studying the strange reptilian creatures.

Dungeoneering (kobold knowledge): (25) http://orokos.com/roll/164515
(spear gauntlet): (16) http://orokos.com/roll/164522

>>4746
Kadol (Dungeoneering) : These particular kobold tunnelers have been mutated to be mentally commanded by a creature that does not normally have telepathy. This also has an offensive use, as their allies release waves of psychic energy as their comrade's consciousness wanes (Psychic Feedback triggers upon the death of a Crazed Kobold Tunneler; each enemy adjacent to one or more living Crazed Kobold Tunnelers takes 2 psychic damage).

Dredge ignores the foul creatures inside and focus on the suspicious things on the floor.
Thievery: 24 http://orokos.com/roll/164523

>>4748
>>4746
Kadol, Dredge : The spear gauntlet trap is a level 2 elite obstacle, consisting of ten pressure plates connected to a key-operated control panel. It triggers when a non-dwarf creature enters a square with a pressure plate on it. When this happens, all ten squares are skewered from below by spears as an opportunity action.

To counter this, there are several steps you can take :
-A character can jump over a square with a successful Athletics check to jump.
-A character adjacent to a plate can disable that square with a DC 15 Thievery check.
-A character adjacent to the control panel can disable the entire trap with a DC 10 Thievery check.
-A character can ready an action to attack the spears, or attack the trigger plates/control panel directly with a normal action. Destroying a spear/trigger plate disables the trap in that square, and destroying the control panel disables the entire trap.

Dasein hastily rushes into the room, and conjures a barrage of stone projectiles--though in his haste, the shots go wild. Digging into his inner reserves, he manages to conjure a second wave of such projectiles, and these actually look like they might hit some kobolds, though one seems to be aimed more at the ceiling than anything else. Even as he does so, another air spirit appears to float the torch into the air.

Move Action: Walk to A-9.
Standard Action: Magic stones against the kobolds, 7, 6, 10 http://orokos.com/roll/164527
Action Point! Standard Action: Same as above, 24 (crit), 5 (nat1), 20 http://orokos.com/roll/164529
Minor Action: Air spirit, have it hold the torch in Dasein's hand

Dasein rushes in and scoops up debris with his staff. The stones fly out at enemies, but fail to hit anything and sail off into the darkness. Trying again, the stones are imbued with a green glow, and explode with light upon striking their targets, one glancing the ceiling instead. Two kobolds fall down dead, the remaining ones clutching their heads and moaning. Daisen also brings back his trusty air spirit to bear the torch for him.

Kadol : Your dwarf intuition is drawn to the bearskin rug on the floor. You can tell that it belonged to the dwarves of old, and it feels like it's... Safe. Comforting. Sheltering. But you can't tell if it's really safe or what it does without an arcana check.

Kadol finds her eyes drawn to the rug and is so distracted by it that she momentarily forgets about the kobolds. "Hey... I'm gettin' a... strange feelin' aboot tha rug thar..."

Arcana: (12) http://orokos.com/roll/164554

Kadol (Arcana) : This rug was likely enchanted by the dwarf mages of old for its defenders to stand upon, reinforcing their innate toughness significantly. When a dwarf is standing on a square of the rug, the dwarf gains a +2 bonus to all defenses. When a non-evil aligned humanoid is standing on the rug, it gains a +1 bonus to all defenses.

Fulgore rushes in and savagely cuts down the first enemy he finds, bisecting it and letting both halves fall to the ground with a pitiful plop. Filled with fighting spirit, he lets out a primal roar of such force that another kobold, bleeding from its ears, drops dead from the shout. He switches to a one-handed grip on his blade to fish out a torch, tapping it against the one held by the air spirit to provide further illumination.

What he reveals is a big leg. A big, green leg.

"Really, could dwarves see in the dark or something? Why isn't there any light?" The rest of them may as well be blind.

Move action: In the middle of walking through D-11 atm. Will decide the rest after description.

To get a better grasp of what is lurking ahead, Ves drifts forward and peers through the gloom to take it all in. There's the noxious-smelling fountain from before, and the strange box above it. The bearskin rug, the bloodstains, and the kobolds clutching their javelins a ways back. And as for the mysterious identity of the monster Fulgore revealed part of...

It looks like a person, but cobbled together out of things that belonged to both people and crustaceans. Its body is bigger than that of a normal human, and from the tip of its head to its groin, Ves can see a line of stitches. It wears the tattered remnants of a town militiaman and wields a polearm consisting of three blades projected from its haft. The heavy breathing from earlier is confirmed to come from it, and its eyes attempt to pull her in.

She probably should have stayed fixated on it. For a ways away, sitting atop a throne of stone, is a huge, spiked lizard with hateful glowing eyes and far too many teeth for one mouth. With a simple glance at the terrible creature, Ves is filled with fear and dread as shadows grow impenetrably dark. Something whispers behind her, a harsh, grating sound that speaks of things that will make her yearn for death to finally take her.

"Is that the Terror Lord? And something else?" Ves sidesteps the traps and walks closer.

"Friend or foe?" she asks the two.

Ves : The giant humanoid is a Cursed Guardian, a level 2 elite soldier made of persons warped by the Grey sewn together and given purpose. That purpose is usually to guard something, something they are forced to do, the power coming at the cost of their identity and sanity as their mind is fragmented and twisted, never to be restored again. (Caged Mind allows it to take an extra minor action while dazed or stunned; it also has a +2 bonus to saving throws against charm or fear effects) Its presence is anathema to heroes of all sorts (Soul Void is an aura 1; enemies that start their turn in the aura cannot spend action points until the end of their next turn), and its gaze compels weaker creatures to be drawn into its clutches (Beckoning Gaze is a ranged 3 attack that pulls a target 3 squares and marks it (save ends)). When it attacks from afar, it tears out parts of its enemy's essence for its own consumption (Soul Siphon triggers on a hit with a ranged attack, dealing ongoing 5 psychic damage and dazing the target (save ends both).

Its more conventional attacks consist of attacking with its melee weapon (Trikal marks a target until the end of the guardian's next turn) or attacking from afair (Crossbow targets a creature within 20 squares and works with Soul Siphon). It still knows how to fight dirty (Powerful Strike deals enough damage to kill some of you on a crit, and knocks a target prone) and fiercely attacks any who would harm its master (Interceding Strike triggers when an enemy attacks without targeting the guardian, dealing damage).

The large lizard is an Id Fiend, a terrible, cunning creature from the Grey that preys upon the fears of others to manipulate them and leave them helpless before its voracious appetite; a level 1 solo controller. It is very mobile, moving either itself (Quick Slash lets it shift 1 square before attacking) or driving its enemies back (Snapping Jaws deals significant damage and slides the target 1 square before the attack); it can do both in tandem as well (Double Attack lets it use Quick Slash and Snapping Jaws). And creatures that try to approach it are slammed into the ground by its tail (Whipping Tail triggers when an enemy moves to a square within 2 squares of the id fiend, and knocks prone on a hit). Its most dangerous powers, however, allow it to take its enemies' nightmares and make them real enough to hinder them significantly (Manifest Fear is a close burst 5 that dazes and slows enemies on a hit) before making a foe destroy itself with its own fears (Fearful Torment is a minor action attack that targets one or two dazed creatures )this applies to Soul Siphon!) and deals [color=purple]psychic damage on a hit; the target is also immobilized, and takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls). When desperate, the id fiend will trap its enemies in their own minds while it picks them off from a distance (Overwhelming Dread triggers when the id fiend is bloodied, recharging Manifest Fear, which the id fiend uses immediately).[/spoiler]

In response to Ves' query, the id fiend lazily beckons her closer with its tail. The giant cursed guardian is clutching its head in apparent agony and doesn't respond.

>>4759
Too much to expect, huh.

For the sake of her blind allies, Ves calls a sun elemental into the room, which is way brighter than necessary and also serves to scare nearby enemies.

She then floods the dungeon with the spirit world.

Minor action: Spirit of Athas to H-9. Apparently there are Sunsoul genasi, so Sun should be an element (paraelement?) of some sort.
Standard action: Spirit of the Healing Flood. (Until the end of the encounter, you and each ally in the burst gain regeneration 2 while bloodied. As a minor action, a character can end this effect on himself or herself to regain 10 hit points.) I should have line of effect to all allies from F-11.
It also attacks enemies, so if they're foes I'm attacking them.
First, attack rolls for the kobolds. http://orokos.com/roll/164897
Then, attack rolls for the other two. http://orokos.com/roll/164898
Damage roll. Half damage on a miss (yes minions don't take miss damage). http://orokos.com/roll/164899

Ves cautiously navigates the remaining traps, her ghostly spirit companion obediently moving ahead. With no chance of negotiation, Ves summons a fragment of one of the most powerful spirits of Athas, which appears in a burst of flame that easily illuminates the entire room. The fiery sun spirit blocks off escape for the tunnelers as Ves conjures yet another spirit. A long lost spirit of the flood, its power diminished and its appearance little more than a wraith of churning waters. But it brings with it a sudden deluge, sending the kobolds scrambling for safety as they are crushed beneath the weight of water; one of them manages to resist, and the big, scary foes endure it without looking much worse for wear. The cleansing flood brings comfort as it washes through Ves and her allies, sustaining them with its essence before it fade away from whence it came.

The id fiend hisses, biding its time, as the last kobold tries to stab at Ves. She just barely sways out of the way, forcing the kobold to fall back. Distracted by the brilliant light, it forgets about her spirit companion, and suffers dearly - the little rain spirit tears into the creature and savagely bites it with the ferocity of a sudden storm. This kills the kobold, and its blood lightly tints the spirit's body a pale red color. The giant guardian stumbles forward in response, its ankle bitten by the rain spirit, which it ignores. It looks at Ves with cloudy eyes filled with pain and fear, its voice a pained gurgle. "Run... Kill me... Please!" it rasps, as the ghost unwillingly moves forward, narrowly avoiding a pit trap along the way. Ves feels as though a part of herself - an important part of her being - is eroding away under its stare, and does not see the attack coming. Fortunately for her, the cursed guardian fails to hit, striking the adjacent ground with its terrible spear. Is it resisting, or did it genuinely miss?

Suddenly, Ves' sense of self is assaulted by a terrible psychic attack from the id fiend, memories of who she was, of what she was, of every little bit of joy, briefly unravelling, leaving her purposeless, powerless, and afraid. Her possessions fade away before her very eyes as the spirits of nature on Athas die, her connection with nature severed and leaving her very much alone - and then the illusory horror ends, her identity returning to her and her items remaining intact. She is left horribly shaken and physically exhausted, as the id fiend takes cover behind its protector. The flood spirit's boon was great, but it is not enough. Her soul, her essence, on the verge of being completely torn out, Ves is dangerously close to disappearing, if not worse.

After Ves' spirit lights the room, the revenant finds the control panel he was looking for. Merely focusing on deactivating it, he moves near of the wicked fountain, drops his staff walking cane behind him and very nervously attempts to deactivate it. Once he thinks the trap is off, he turns to see the rest of the room and stares at the lizard and the cursed guardian.

Pickup staff

Dredge (Arcana) : Instructors at the House of the Mind in Draj pay top coin - upwards of ten thousand gold - for living id fiend specimens. They use a number of the fiend's organs and fluids in concoctions that awaken latent talent in their students. Most mixtures distilled by these seers and alchemists are of dubious purpose. Still, the id fiend's cranial fluid is a key component of terror ichor, a powerful reagent that enhances the potency of powers that prey on fear. Dead id fiends, however, are worth nothing due to their quick decomposition and noxious remains.

Navigating around the holes indicated in the floor, Dredge is able to make it to the control panel unhindered. He puts away his staff, giving him a free hand to work with, and removes the key without setting off the trap. To his knowledge, it is no longer active and it should be safe to walk through the room, save for the still-living enemies.

"I wonder if we can bring this thing back alive."

"...The traps are now disarmed, they won't activate anymore."

Snapping out of her daze, Kadol clenches her teeth and wades into the fray. As she does so, he skin's texture changes to be slightly jagged, and becomes a light shade of blue with a slight sheen to it. The air around her becomes cold, and she leaves a trail of frost as she maneuvers onto the rug. Snarling, she whirls her hammer at the guardian beast, and though the blow isn't very accurate, it does present a distraction, which Dasein quietly takes advantage of to move next to the barely-corporal ghost.

Pulling the magic apple from his satchel, he studies the spirit for a few seconds in apparent confusion before haphazardly shoving it into her transparent form.

Kadol purposefully moves toward the enchanted rug, her body radiating cold, freezing winds billowing around her and keeping her enemies rooted. Her icy skin hardens upon contact with the enchantment, further bolstering her defenses while she takes a wide swing at the cursed guardian, then lays it low with a blow to the stomach. Dasein uses the diversion to move next to Ves and administer a healing fruit, bringing back some of Ves' unnatural vitality, though her mental state is uncertain.

"Look, big thing! Maybe strong!"

Fulgore maneuvers around the battlefield before charging the Cursed Guardian.

Minor: Put down torch and hold greatsword with both hands
Move: Walk to H-11
Standard: Charge G-9, swing at Cursed Guardian with Howling Strike http://orokos.com/roll/165325
Action Point: Swing at Cursed Guardian with Avalanche Strike http://orokos.com/roll/165329

Fulgore leaves behind the torch in order to properly wield his weapon again. It takes a bit of maneuvering, but the barbarian finds an ideal spot for charging the fiendish guardian, doing so with a loud cry of battle. A strong hit against the creature shows it beginning to falter under the assault, and so the barbarian goes for the kill. His mighty swing completely fails to connect, and it leaves him very exposed.

Ves feels the pain of her psyche being ripped apart, though the flood spirit's boon keeps her upright.

Fulgore drops his torch as a free action
Fulgore gets his grip back on his greatsword
Fulgore moves to H-11
Fulgore charges Cursed Guardian with Howling Strike, moving to G-9 and hitting for 12 damage, bloodying the Cursed Guardian; he gains a +1 power bonus to defenses from the Spirit of Athas
Fulgore spends an action point! Fulgore misses with Avalanche Strike; enemies gain a +4 bonus to attack rolls against him until the end of his next turn

Ves takes 5 psychic damage and is bloodied
Ves heals 2 HP and is no longer bloodied

Ves lashes out in a daze, with predictable results.

Standard action: Corrupting Touch. http://orokos.com/roll/165588
Saving throws: http://orokos.com/roll/165589

Ves reaches out with a ghastly arm in an attempt to strangle her assailant, but is unable to distinguish hallucination from reality and grasps at empty air. All but the lingering doubts are shaken off by her resolve. The giant bides its time, waiting for its master to take action.

Dredge is hit with a terrible vision of his patron, staring at him as though he were another meal; Fulgore feels the strength leave his body as he is abondoned in the burning sands. The id fiend tries to compound on their anguish with real pain, but can't get a hold on their minds. The cursed guardian does even worse when it attempts to finish off Ves, its powerful attacks striking only stone and earning it a solid retaliation from Kadol's hammer for its efforts.

Ves fails to hit with Corrupting Touch
Ves saves against all conditions

Cursed Guardian delays its turn

Id Fiend's Manifest Fear power hits both Fulgore and Drudge, and both are dazed and slowed until the end of the Id Fiend's next turn
Id Fiend misses Fulgore and Drudge with Fearful Torment

Cursed Guardian targets Ves and is hit with Kadol's Warden's Fury for 12 damage

Divining a near-miss by Dredge, the dwarf uses psychic power to catch the force projectile in mid-air and guide it towards its destination.

Free Action: Use adept's insight, augmented with 1 psi point, add 3 to Dredge's near-miss. http://orokos.com/roll/165699

"I'll be disposed if I'm not useful."
Fueled by his desire to survive, the revenant shoots force energy from his scourge to his nearest enemy, the cursed guardian.
Eldritch bolt 1: 22, 16 damage.
Action point! Eldritch bolt 2: 14, 9 damage.

Dredge weaves his weapon to create a shimmering bolt that streaks toward the guardian. It strikes the creature in the face and forces it back a couple paces, before he follows up with a second attack - Kadol's psychic insight steadying his aim - that topples the guardian and sends it crashing to the ground, dead. Death brings it no release, as Dredge sacrifices it to his patron to straddle the boundary between life and death.

The id fiend looks as cold and calculating as a lizard can look. This setback doesn't appear to bother it.

Dredge hits the Cursed Guardian with Eldritch Bolt for 16 force damage
Dredge spends an action point! Dredge hits the Cursed Guardian with Eldritch Bolt for 9 force damage, after Kadol turns his miss into a hit with Adept's Insight; this kills the Cursed Guardian and grants Dredge his pact boon

"Aye, a solid hit lad!" the dwarf calls out, stepping over the fallen guardian to cautiously approach her next target.

Move Action: Walk to F-8.

Kadol bravely advances upon the nightmarish creature, but her efforts are hampered when its tail - it had been hidden from her view until too late - slams down on her from above and sends her crashing to the ground.

Kadol moves to F-8 and is CRIT by the Id Fiend's Whipping Tail for 13 damage and is knocked prone

Kadol is startled by the beast's vicious attack and collapses under its tail as it bites into her flesh. She violently shoves it off as she digs into her inner reserves for additional strength. Feeling refreshed, she pounds the ground with her hammer from her prone position, sending a ripple of earth through the ground, which turn into spikes that impale the id fiend from below and draw it closer to the dwarf before shattering.

Even with the horrid fiend looking over her fallen body, the dwarf's face remains resolute and she clutches both hammer and shield tightly.

Free Action: Nature's Wrath, mark the id fiend.

Kadol's innate sturdiness fails to save her from being knocked flat on her back from the id fiend's attack. However, she recovers from the blow with a bit of reinvigoration that bolsters her defenses even further. And then strikes the ground with her hammer, sending spikes of stone to stab at the fiend and drive it towards her.

Dasein moves south, and as he does so, plants work their way through the floor underneath the id fiend, bursting into a tangle of hindering vegetation. Nevertheless, the vines emanate a faint healing aura that aids his allies, though not the id fiend.

With a gesture, a fiery hawk descends from the air above the aberration and swoops towards it in a flaming arc.

Minor Action: Nature's Growth at F-6. The burst 1 area is difficult terrain and allies in or adjacent to the zone regain 3 extra hit points when they spend a surge to regain hit points.
Standard Action: Use fire hawk, 17 vs id fiend's reflex for 12 fire damage. If the id fiend takes an action that provokes opportunity attacks before the start of Dasein's next turn, he can use the fire hawk attack against it as an opportunity action. http://orokos.com/roll/165798

Dasein moves to get a better look at his adversary. At his command, the ground beneath the id fiend erupts into a thick growth of vegetation that impedes the fiend's movements. Another gesture, and a fiery bird screeches toward the id fiend and burns it, circling around the creature as it seeks out another opening to attack.

Fulgore waits for conditions to improve.

Ves retreats to safety and coordinates an assault with Fulgore. Moving him back with a cry of battle from her spirit companion, the shaman waits until he charges the id fiend before her spirit digs its claws into the lizard. This gives Fulgore an opening to make another attack, and the id fiend appears to be wounded.

The light in the room seems to dim as all but Ves are assaulted with visions of terror.
For Kadol, her heritage is destroyed.
For Fulgore, he grows weak and unable to wield any weapon.
For Dredge, his patron demands his life as tribute.
And for Dasein, he sees his beloved grove engulfed in flames.

As the adventurers try to overcome their sudden panic, the id fiend savagely tears into Fulgore with its claws and teeth, and attacks both him and Kadol mentally. Fulgore takes one last swing at the creature before collapsing from exhaustion, and the id fiend retreats, provoking another attack from the spirit.

Ves hits the Id Fiend with Voice of Battle for 2 psychic damage (reduced from 7), and Fulgore shifts to G-10

Dredge stays in place, but shoots another spell against the lizard.
Eldritch bolt: 17, 21 damage http://orokos.com/roll/165855

Struggling against the visions pouring into her mind, Kadol slams the ground with her hammer once more, but the earthen spikes are erratic and feeble.

Still in a daze, Dasein reaches out with his power to summon forth an ally from the spirit realm, which takes the form of a desert hawk, which appears in the air in a burst of feathers only a split-second before dive-bombing the id fiend and driving it back towards Kadol and the fallen minotaur.

Kadol

Move action: J-10.
Minor action: Healing Spirit. Fulgore's surge and the 1d6 for Kadol.
Standard action: Stalker's Strike.

Dredge taps into his own revenant abilities to attach a fragment of the land of the dead to his attack. While he can't move, he can hit the id fiend with another blast of force. The attack flies toward the creature, a streak of black lightning trailing after it, and buffets the id fiend with a nasty wound on the face. Not to be outdone, Kadol tries to make the creature pay for knocking her down, but the fiend's quills repel her attack.

Dasein calls upon the powers of nature to deliver him aid. The call is answered as a desert hawk manifests in a burst of feathers. It swiftly attacks the id fiend with a powerful dive, clawing at its eyes with its talons as it drives the creature back. The id fiend lets out a long, terrible his in response, before it drops to the ground, unmoving.

Ves uses her primal powers to patch up her allies and bring Fulgore back from the brink of death, then has her spirit maul the id fiend's carcass for giving them so much trouble.

With the battle over, the verdant bounty fades away, and the hawk disappears back to whence it came. Kadol takes her normal form, and everyone snaps back to reality.

Dredge hits the Id Fiend with Eldritch Bolt, infused with Dark Reaping, for 12 force damage plus 9 necrotic damage

Kadol misses with Thorn Strike

Dasein uses Summon Natural Ally and summons a Desert Hawk to G-7 elevation 2; Desert Hawk's instinctive action allows it to immediately attack the Id Fiend for 14 damage while sliding it to F/G-6/7, killing it

Ves moves to J-10
Ves uses Healing Spirit, healing Fuglore 7 + 3 HP and Kadol 1 HP
Ves hits the Id Fiend's corpse with Stalker's Strike for 7 damage

Notes
-The area marked by the golden aura denotes bright light. Characters without darkvision cannot see anything outside of this area. Creatures you can't see are totally obscured from you (-5 penalty to melee and ranged attacks against the creature).
-You can't learn about things you don't have line of sight to.
-The fountain at F-12 and G-12 is flowing with tainted water. Entering or starting your turn in it subjects you to an attack that deals poison damage on a hit or miss, and ongoing poison damage on a crit. A creature hiding behind it has cover.
-Passive perception and insight values are not used during combat. Making a perception or insight check requires a minor action.

Kadol takes a deep breath and climbs to her feet, shaking off the lingering afflictions of the id fiend. Dasein also takes a moment to regain his strength.

Both Kadol and Dasein stand next to the healing growth and take a short rest, spending 1 healing surge each.
