We make sure this gets to Aezir and Escalon (who is still with him I believe).
Kerkly thinks: "Where is Roland?"
"We can defeat them, even with that purple creature fighting. But there won't be much left of us to do anything about whatever else is going on in there. So I don't think that's an option."
"If a deity thinks this is good, and we have to believe that since his sword and his companion are here telling us that, then who are we to think him wrong?"
"Unless someone has another idea, I suggest we leave and let the deity take its course. We have to hope for the best, because I think any other course on this path means our death and no success."
Benlin thinks about whether whatever is preventing Parker's blink will stop teleportation inside the temple. Knowledge Arcana roll = 27.
-
Benlin offers, "I can cast Prying Eyes and send them around the temple, but I think we already know what is happening."
-
Rubius thinks to everyone: "Now may be a good time to cast another Augury to find out if we should stay and fight or leave."
-
Robyn asks Bigtop, "What about Malfesius? You know of his involvement. How do you plan to counter him?"
-
Rubius thinks to everyone: "Now may be a good time to cast another Augury to find out if we should stay and fight or leave."
Benlin thinks, "It's a good idea, but it takes a minute to cast, so we have to take the fight them again now option off the table before I do that."
-
Benlin thinks, "It's a good idea, but it takes a minute to cast, so we have to take the fight them again now option off the table before I do that."
Well, Sir Knight mentioned that it would take 10 minutes to put the Suian circle up again and it only takes 1 minute to cast, so it seems that we have the time. They all seem to be the honorable type, so perhaps we could simply ask for a minute to consult our Deity before reaching a decision. It's worth a shot.

Kerkly thinks, "I don't trust his commitment now. We agreed to duel and he attacked a few of us. We would not wait for the circle to go up again. If we fight, we should fight in the hall. Ari and I up front and the rest supporting behind us."
"Robyn, what does Bigtop's breath do?"
Benlin thinks in, "Didn't my Augury before say not doing anything would be a terrible idea? That makes me think we have to do something to stop this."
Kerkly thinks, "Aezir, ask Escalon what he thinks. If he trusts Falan's judgement, then we can let this be."
Back from Benlin, "We can also leave and try another way in. This may be a shot in the dark, but can the navy reach the temple with its artillery?"
-
But wasn't the previous Augury used to ask if staying at the house was a bad idea? We never asked directly if we should interfere in Falan' s affairs. Either way, I do agree that something is off here. There' s just something unnatural about this whole situation. Ari, what do you think?
-

Benlin replies, "But why else would staying in the house have been so bad except that something terrible would happen here?"
-
Benlin replies, "But why else would staying in the house have been so bad except that something terrible would happen here?"
That depends on how you interpret the message. Something bad could've happened to all of us at that house. I do concede the point that it could have been directly referring to inaction on our part here tonight. I just don't know what to do. I just don't know what we could do to disrupt the ritual that doesn't involve fighting these people. It will require all our resources just to survive combat. Assuming we survive, we won't have anything left for Malfeeseus.
-
Sir, I am a simple guard. I know the feel of My Guisarme, and how to set my feet. These godly matters are outside of the things I know as a simple elf. But one thing I've learned, if there is a chance for someone to gain massive power, they will do anything they can to grab it. It seems to me, that you have to decide to trust Falan or not. He's not my Deity.
However, sometimes the "Crazy" we know, is much better then the crazy we don't know. Much like the First Stance of the Red Guard.. everything is always in balance. You change the footing on one side, the other foot has to shift. If it doesn't there will be a breach. So what I'm saying Governer Ari, is if we allow Falan to split, the crazy will just go somewhere else. THAT might be really bad.
-
"Cyndy clearly thinks she hears Falan calling her for help. I work that not doing anything will leave room for Malfesius and Nilis'anore to interfere and really mess things up."
-
Kerkly says, "Three to Three then. Rubius, Kerkly, and Benlin against Robyn, Parker, and Shaar. Ari, Tomas? Also, I still want Escalon and Aezir's opinions."
Benlin thinks, "I can created a powerful illusion of Cydney, Wake and I here waiting, and go ahead. I don't want to."
-
Benlin to Robyn, "Any idea if Bigtop has true seeing?"
-
Is Cydney in the telepathic bond? If so, I think to her: "Cydney, can you cast an Augury to Falan and simply ask him if he wants this severing to happen? He's apparently right down the hall, so I imagine he'll get the message."
-

She is not.
-
She is not.
Okay, I think it to whoever is closest to her and ask them to relay the message for me.
-
Benlin asks Cydney, "Do you have an Augury prepared?"
-
Benlin offers, "I can cast Prying Eyes and send them around the temple, but I think we already know what is happening."
Are the prying eyes insubstantial?
-
Robyn asks Bigtop, "What about Malfesius? You know of his involvement. How do you plan to counter him?"
He shrugs. "He's a means to an end. I don't know what Temmelly intends to do with him once he's done."
-
Benlin to Robyn, "Any idea if Bigtop has true seeing?"
"I don't think he has true seeing. His breath is a cone of force that is surprisingly powerful for his size."
-
Benlin asks Cydney, "Do you have an Augury prepared?"
Cydney jumped down into the lower hallway and took off running.
-
Are the prying eyes insubstantial?
No, they are physical, but very small. Smaller than a baseball.
-
"I don't think he has true seeing. His breath is a cone of force that is surprisingly powerful for his size."
"Then I can use a programmed illusion to make him think we are still here, but actually take a few of us magically to the other side of the wall."
-
Cydney jumped down into the lower hallway and took off running.
Wasn't there another wall there? I believe you said she started and then ran into another wall....otherwise Benlin would have followed.
-
Wasn't there another wall there? I believe you said she started and then ran into another wall....otherwise Benlin would have followed.
No Cydney ran into the wall of force above. She jumped into the hole after you opened it and yelled out "I'm coming Master." That was the end of the round before Sir William revealed you were in the circle.
-
"Then I can use a programmed illusion to make him think we are still here, but actually take a few of us magically to the other side of the wall."
Cydney told you previously the alcoves are the only way to move interdimensionally in the temple. If you have something else in mind then disregard.

Did she describe how they work and if we can use them?
-

That is not at all what I thought happened, I was fairly certain she ran into another wall. If she starts to run Benlin takes action at that moment.
-
Once Cydney was down the hole and past the wall of force, she stopped and looked up at the ceiling. Most likely wondering how she was going to get back up to the level above
-
Did she describe how they work and if we can use them?
She only mentioned that she didn't know the passwords to use them. If you have a way to figure out the passwords, then have at it.
-

Benlin didn't go into the hole.
-
Wake did, he was the one who made the hole.
-
Wake did, he was the one who made the hole.
Right
-
So I'm clear, we have a tunnel with an unknown other end that our guide Cydney is running down?
If that is the case, then I think we have a new best option.
Benlin can make a Permanent Illusion of us debating what to do and we all move down the tunnel. (thoughts before he actually does that)
Wake flies after Cydney. He is an umber hulk, but he has Overland Flight on him. He is in the telepathic bond by virtue of Benlin have cast the spell so he gets to share it. As with the other spells he shares, because of the feat the extend beyond five feet. He has a 12 Int and a 14 Wis, so he is smart enough to do this and stay in the bond.
He also has the Luminous Armor so, the area is lit up for Cydney and him. He flies at 45 (40 +Elation 5), and can double that with hustling, so he Shuld be able to keep up with her.

Rubius is on board with that idea.

He can easily catch her.
How will the illusion conceal you? It won't make you invisible.

Parker says this through the mental link. ~Remember, because they are interacting with the illusion, they will instinctively try to counter the effect.~
(ie. They will get a will save because they are interacting with the illusion)
-

Hopefully, they will let us debate and argue for a bit before interacting. By a bit, a minute is enough time for us to be pretty far. They are happy to keep us there, so they should be in a rush. In addition, the Programmed Illusion is sophisticated; smell, sound, heat, visual, etc...so it will be convincing.
-

Hmmm, I suppose if I overlay it, as soon as we move, they will see both the illusion and us.
-

Wake asks, "Can we reach Falan this way?", as he keeps pace.
-
Do they have any reaction to the fact that Cydney is not here, or to the 2nd Umber Hulk not being here? For example, are they inching closer to looking behind us, or whispering among themselves?
-
When was the last time we saw Roland?
-
Benlin thinks to Parker, "Do you think you have a chance at activating the alcove and using it? If I were closer I could try."
-

~I have a better than average chance, but there is no telling where I will end up if I get it to work~
-
How big is the force wall tunnel?
How far are we from the tunnel?
How far are the bladelords from us?
How far down the tunnel is the wall?
How big is the tunnel below?
-
We all have a +5 speed right now, so everyone but Kerkly can move pretty quickly (Benlin flies and I think Rubius is fast for his height).
Kerkly can put up a Wall of Ice while everyone but him gets to the tunnel below. Then, while concealed behind the wall (we only need a round), Benlin makes the illusion. Kerkly stays, and he interacting along with the illusion can keep them delayed for long enough for the rest of you to get deep into the temple. Possible?
-
I just had a disturbing thought. What if the thoughts that were stolen from everyone were somehow implanted into Falan's mind or one of these people we're fighting right now? They may be under the impression that everything is going according to plan, but we could be playing right into Nilas'anor's hands. I suddenly feel a renewed sense of urgency to disrupt this ceremony. I am, however, reluctant to leave Kerkly behind by himself. I volunteer myself to interact with the illusion in his stead. We need his magic to help defeat this evil. I doubt my bow will be of much use beyond tbese walls, but my luck may buy you all some time.
-
"We can think ourselves around and around about who is using who, we can't spend much time on that." Kerkly thinks. "I appreciate the thought, but you are are faster, can do damage at range, are sneakier without magic, can go gaseous, and have a family. I stay."
-
Wake asks, "Can we reach Falan this way?", as he keeps pace.
She appears not to hear him. She's moving, with no light, at max speed.
-

The scaled and northern elf are standing together having a good natured discussion of their duels. You think they are mostly saying how impressive Sha'Ar's attacks were. They are between you and the northern corridor.
The Sakor'Akai is at the mouth of the southern corridor, watching Sha'Ar and Ari intently. Sir William is in the center of the room. He has the black sword tucked under his arm while he holds his spectacles up to a light, cleaning them with a silk square.
-
When was the last time we saw Roland?
You lost sight of him as soon as he entered the chamber and none of the Bladelords appeared to have noticed him.
-
How big is the force wall tunnel?
How far are we from the tunnel?
How far are the bladelords from us?
How far down the tunnel is the wall?
How big is the tunnel below?
The corridor is 24' wide at the floor and slightly narrows at the apex of the arch. The tunnel below is ten wide and eight high.
It's up to you how far you are from any of the Bladelords. The wall of force is approx 20' feet from the entrance to the chamber. The elves are about 10' inside the chamber.
-
She appears not to hear him. She's moving, with no light, at max speed.
The Luminous Armor goes pretty far, so she shuld be engulfed in that light, although it probably doesn't matter for her. What is her speed? She was in the Elation, so +5 feet base.
-

The northern corridor is where we have to go, so again, we are back to the start with do we fight here or trust Falan knows what he is doing.

So the elves closest to Benlin are not looking at him, and Sir William is blocked by a bunch of people from seeing him. Where is Bigtop?

Rubius True Seeing is telling him that everything is actually as described?
-
Is Astrek still with Benlin? Last I recall he was digging and didn't engage in the battle.
Can shank fly to Benlin and Robyn tumble to him? We could have the familiars and companions save the day.
-
Why are they unconcerned that Cydney and an Umber Hulk are passed them? (this is not a question for the DM).
-
The negative levels have not returned, correct?
Does William look 'improved' still?
Any word from Aezir or Escalon?
-
Benlin thinks, "I can try to paralyze them, although I think that at least William is strong enough to resist the spell."
-
The Luminous Armor goes pretty far, so she shuld be engulfed in that light, although it probably doesn't matter for her. What is her speed? She was in the Elation, so +5 feet base.
40 x4 w the elation

With Robyn

Yes. He didn't follow Wake and Cydney.
Shank can easily fly to Benlin. Robyn would leave Bigtop's threatened area and have to tumble through the threatened areas of the elves.
-
40 x4 w the elation
Okay, so the first round she gets 30 feet ahead of Wake. He is flying at 45 x2.
I assume then that the tunnel is straight, so she can go 4x speed. I case its needed, Wake has Displacement, Luminous Armor, Overland Flight, Elation, Spell Resistance, Telepathic Bond, Polymorph, Good Hope, and Shield of Faith.
His AC is 42, his SR is 26, he has Imp Evasion. He has low light vision, so he can see pretty far with the armor.
With all this conversation, how many rounds has she been running?
-
Sir William is in the center of the room. He has the black sword tucked under his arm...
Would someone please Disjunction that thing?

The negative levels have not returned but all HP have. Sir William looks unchanged

Three rounds so far.
-

Aezir says: Escalon has returned to the Vale so that he will be ready if you call. I cannot offer you any advice until you locate Imberb.
-
Three rounds so far.
Has it been a straight tunnel for all that time?
-
To everyone, "We could just make a break for it and try to outrun them. If Tomas Haste's us, and with Elation, the slowest of us will be at least as fast as the fastest of them."
-
Has it been a straight tunnel for all that time?
Yes
-
Wake is falling significantly behind her at that point, but he keeps going after her.
Has there been anything of note on the walls, ceiling of floor?
-
Do we know if there are any clerics representing the smaller sect of Falan's faith here?
-
Wake is falling significantly behind her at that point, but he keeps going after her.

Is Wake in telepathic contact with Benlin? (I'm sure you said if he is previously)
Just giving others some more time to post before we get to the next round.
-

You don't

Parker places a hand on his chest, mumbles something, then says "There, that's better. If anyone here is still not feeling quite themselves, there are now 4 charges left in that wand."
-

Because Benlin cast the Interplanar Bond, Wake gets it for free, so yes he is in it. Note he speaks common normally as well.

"What was that Parker?" Kerkly asks through the bond.
Also, 22 Spellcraft for Kerkly to figure it out.
-
"Wand of Restoration. Got it from the high Cleric of Stasis a few years ago along with a few other odds and ends."
-
"Wand of Restoration. Got it from the high Cleric of Stasis a few years ago along with a few other odds and ends."

Does William react to that?

Wake sees the corridor end at a stone wall. It has no blocks or seams so it is likely of magical construction. There is a heavy wood door, too small for hulk Wake to fit through, bound with iron and silver, bearing a silver symbol of Falan. Cydney stands before it clearly frustrated.

-
"Where do we go from here?"
"A Smart man would leave well enough alone. Four Bladelords do not a small obstacle make. However, We have never been confused with smart men. We know the gods are not infallible. Hells, I killed one. We need to show everyone in there that Imburb and Mal-feeces are trying to pull a fast one. If we can break their disguises in front of everyone, that should do it. Dispelling their disguises or an anti-magic field would work."
"Also I don't think we can all get down the hole before the Bladelords figure out what is happening and chasing us. So any way we can block the hole would be a good idea. Maybe a permanent illusion of a cave in or wall of stone."
"After that, get Cydney, get to the ceremony, unmask the infiltrators, get the glory."
-
"Where do we go from here?"
This was only directed at Cydney when she replies she can't open it.

"Also I don't think we can all get down the hole before the Bladelords figure out what is happening and chasing us. So any way we can block the hole would be a good idea. Maybe a permanent illusion of a cave in or wall of stone."

-
Kerkly thinks, "I can create a wall of ice to block the way if we all get to one side of them bladelords."
"That should do the trick. We will all rush into the tunnel and you can cast the wall to seal us away, for the time being anyway. once we are down the hole and under the wall of force, we can dig back up and continue on."
-
"That sounds like a workable plan, we just have to make sure we all get by the two. We could have Benlin try to Paralyze them, and that would make it easy. We can all try to tumble and rush through them. I think we can wait to a report from Wake and Cydney to see where they end up before we act. At this point, we will just have to lose out on our round spells, but we will act before the minute ones are out." Kerkly thinks.
-
This was only directed at Cydney when she replies she can't open it.
She shrieks at him "Break it down!"
-
She shrieks at him "Break it down!"
"Where does it lead? It is magical?" Wake asks.
-
"Where does it lead? It is magical?" Wake asks.
She looks at him with a disconnected stare. "It leads to Falan."
-
Aezir says through the telepathy: "Ari, a constable and a marine have come. There is going to be trouble outside the temple. The crowd now numbers over one hundred and a few have arrived by teleportation from outside the city. The constables are calling up reinforcements. The marines don't know whether to block the crowd from assaulting the front door."

What is the composition of the crowd?
-
She looks at him with a disconnected stare. "It leads to Falan."
Benlin tells Wake, do not go through the door. So Wake burrows around it through the stone. Umber Hulks burrow through solid stone at a speed of 5 feet. I can double move that to 10, and Elation increases any movement speed by 5 feet.
-
Tomas had send he was reloading, he is completely reloaded at this point?
"Ari, how many tangle foot bags do you have left?" Kerkly things.
Also, are those that had been tangles, still tangled? If so, for how long?
-

Aezir says "No further information from these two."
-

Totally reloaded. It's been 6 rounds since the fighting stopped so however long the goo lasts.

What is Cydney's reaction to the silver wall?
What are the hinges of the door attached to? Does it open in or out?
-
What is Cydney's reaction to the silver wall?
What are the hinges of the door attached to? Does it open in or out?
She's not looking at Wake's progress, she's fixated on the door.
It has no visible hinges.
-
Any sign that the bladelords noticed the noise? Its nearly five hundred feet away and down a level, right? Can we hear the digging?
-
Wake starts to chip away the stone around the door to see if he can figure out how it opens. He does his best not to touch the door.
"Can you burn the door?" Wake asks Cydney.
-
Kerkly casts detect magic in the first round that he can and looks at the bladelords.
Trying to get how many enchantments the two between us and the force wall have.

Which side of the door does Wake attack? I should have mentioned it has a silver loop type pull on the side at your left)

Knowing its going on, we all try to make listen checks to hear it. I am trying ot figure out if its magically silenced. Astrek may have the best chance, since he is closest and not easily distracted.

I'll need their sheets to give you an exact count. Magic arms and armor, two rings each, a belt and/or gauntlets plus at least one other item.
Sir William also has his shield, his tabard, boots, spectacles and an ioun stone which I forgot to mention.
They all also have one or more active spells
-
Wake says, "Try to pull it open."
It won't work without a password and you are wasting time! Falan needs us!

From what I read of Detect Magic, I won't be able to get anything off of William, because the sword will obscure all weaker auras. I focus on the two between us and the exit and what schools of enchantment they have active.

A variety of abjuration and transmutation as you would expect.

After a moment, Wake looks up, if there is stone, he starts digging. Note he can fly so reach is no problem.

What are the spells' level on them (1st-3rd, 4th-6th, 7th-9th, 10th+)?

Rubius thinks: "Does Falan or Nilas'Anor have an alias or alternative name they went by when they were mortal? Try whispering it to the door to see if it opens. Hopefully they chose a sensible password. Or, as disturbing as this thought is, what is a term for dethroning a counsel deity? It can't hurt to try. If whispering doesn't work, try thinking it. It may be psionicly locked."

I'll have to check so I don't give you bad info.

Do you mean the stone of the corridor ceiling?

Most important is, are there any 10th+, which would tell us we have no hope of defeating them.

He asks Cydney before he does, "What is above us? Below us? To our right of left?"
-
What time of night is it? When do we have until?

"I don't know! I don't know! I don't know!" She begins beating on the door with her fists
-
What time of night is it? When do we have until?
The former answer is: around midnight.
The later answer is unclear. Cydney told you the ceremony would be completed at three am. Sir William just told you it would be completed within the hour.
-
Caster level or spell level?
Spell level.
-
Do you mean the stone of the corridor ceiling?
Yes, I go about the distance I think I went through to get through the floor. I do it at an angle so as not to go straight.

"I don't know! I don't know! I don't know!" She begins beating on the door with her fists
Wake thinks, "Cydney has gone bye bye Benlin...what do you have left?"
Benlin thinks back, "Sorry Wake, I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought."
-
Spell level.
None of the spells are tenth level.
On the two elves blocking your path:
1st, 3rd and 4th lvl Abjuration, 6th lvl Enchantment

Asinjin says to Aezir, "If it turns out that the religion of Falan got fooled into splitting itself it two, they jump over the Guardians on my list. cough cough....but not Russell."
-
"That sounds like a workable plan, we just have to make sure we all get by the two. We could have Benlin try to Paralyze them, and that would make it easy. We can all try to tumble and rush through them. I think we can wait to a report from Wake and Cydney to see where they end up before we act. At this point, we will just have to lose out on our round spells, but we will act before the minute ones are out." Kerkly thinks.
Parker still has overland flight up, so he can get by. Robyn can dance/tumble her way through no problem.

As it pertains to durations: it's now been 15 min since you left the Temple of Tfop.

I'm letting others catch up

Aezir says: "You needn't worry about that. They seem fully complicit in the severing. It's what happens to the aspect they remove that worries me."

Asinjin asks the local leading cleric in the temple of Tfop what he thinks of Falan's plan.

Asinjin asks the local leading cleric in the temple of Tfop what he thinks of Falan's plan.
The high cleric says: "It's terrifying. Powers cannot willingly lay down an aspect but over time their religions can work to eliminate the teachings that lead to worship of that aspect. Falan has been trying to do this for centuries without success, leading to the schism of the church. He and the leaders of the church must be truly desperate to attempt this."

Asinjin says, "I understand Tfop preaches freedom, and you are probably against intervention into another religion's affairs, however, if you were advising the clerics of Falan, would you recommend against attempting this?"

"Most certainly, I have no idea what will happen to the energy of the aspect once it is severed from Falan. Better that they wage a crusade against the Eternal to purge the aspect of undeath from Falan. What has led to this is the inability of the church to unify even around this basic idea. In truth there are three sects in the church: the sacred order, the Eternal, and those that don't care."

Asinjin tells Aezir to pass along to Ari, "Your clerics think this must be stopped."
-
Back to work! Sir William is getting bored going through his forms.
-
Is Roland in the telepathic bond?

No, neither is Cydney.

Wake is going to dig at the ceiling as described.
Asinjin asks the cleric of Tfop if there are any other clerics of other faiths that happen to be visiting the temple or are nearby to ask the same questions about the events.
Benlin continues to direct the communications.
Kerkly asks Sir William, "Are there members of both of your faith's sects involved in this ceremony?"
-
No, neither is Cydney.
Great...okay, well Rubius thinks to the group: "What if I sneak away invisibly to where Cydney is and try to pick the lock?"
-

Oh, I must've missed that part in previous descriptions of the place. I can still attempt to sneak down the old fashioned way and use my "Third Times a Charm" ability to open the door.

Could you direct me to the post, I can't find one.

Sir William says: "Master Rubius, please remain until Lord Ari makes up his mind about how he would like to proceed."

-

Very well. It seems Sir William is a little too attentive anyway. This is terribly frustrating. We're right down the hall and I feel as if we are miles away.

One more question for the group: When we used Augury to ask about whether we should stay in the house, which deity was asked?

I think to Parker: "Would you be able to get close enough to stab Sir William with a golden needle to make sure he's real?"

~I think any attempt to stab Sit Stabs-alot will result in getting stabbed with that sword of his. Not an event i would like to revisit.~

Parker, thinks to everyone
~I think that the stone wall needs to go up now. Cut all of us off from the rest of the room, Sir William, and the one bladelord. We can handle the 2 between us and the force wall if we have to. Also, Ari, you should break that guardian seal and leave the pieces here. There is no one, that I know of, that is better at yammering on about the nature of Good-vs-Evil. Who knows, maybe Escalon will show up and he and Sir William can discus things over a cup of tea. Either way, we are rapidly running out of options. And, Sir William looks like he is about to break his word again and charge in here.~
