Psi Crystal Containment [9th level] PsiCrystal can hold a psionic focus UA Content Request: Swap Ranger Combat Feats for Druid shape change and Barbarian Fast Movement [b]Racial Abilities: Darkvision: out to 120 feet Stability: Duergar are exceptionally stable on their feet. A duergar receives a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground). Stonecunning: This ability grants a duergar a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework, traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A gray dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a duergar can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A duergar can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up. Duergar have a sixth sense about stonework, an innate ability that they get plenty of opportunity to practice and hone in their underground homes. Giant Combat Training: +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against creatures of the giant type (such as ogres, trolls, and hill giants) Racial Combat Training: +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against orcs (including half-orcs) and goblinoids (including goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears). Light Sensitivity: Duergar are dazzled in sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell. Racial Skills: Duergar have a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently checks and a +1 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks. They have a +2 racial bonus on Appraise and Craft checks that are related to stone or metal. Naturally Psionic: Duergar gain 3 bonus power points at 1st level. This benefit does not grant them the ability to manifest powers unless they gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class. Psi-Like Abilities: 1/day—expansion, invisibility. These abilities affect only the duergar and whatever he carries. Manifester level is equal to Hit Dice (9th level). Invisibility duration is 9 minutes and Expansion duration is 90 minutes and Kracknol can become Huge. Ranger Class Abilities: Favored Enemy (Human): The ranger gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills against humans. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against humans. Track: A ranger gains Track as a bonus feat. Wild Empathy (Ex): The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus (total +4) to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.(+2bonus due to Handle Animal Skill) Animal Companion: Gain animal companion as Druid of 1/2 Ranger level. Unearthed Arcana Class Variant: Swap Ranger Combat Style Feats for Barbarian Fast Movement and Druid Shape Change. Slayer Class Abilities: Favored Enemy: Kracknol is skilled at hunting and slaying half giants. He receives +2 damage, and a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival.

| TelinArtho07-25-07, 02:31 PM | In a private chamber in the Stronghold of WAR ... The shadowbeast seems to be a likely culprit for what wrong has happened. Just implication, just rumor - but if it is a possibility, this is potentially the worst possible situation that could happen within the Celestial Forces, both here and on the higher planes - at least from what I gathered from Marcus's research. Ignatius set out copied exerpts of the book showed to him by Marcus within the library. The thought of a corrupted celestial troubled him more than even he knew on the surface - that something so insidious could manifest itself within CEF just was unthinkable. Ignatius shook his head, trying to clear it of the thoughts of evil within CEF. Lydia laid a hand on his shoulder gently, Calm yourself, Bahamut will show us the true villains at hand. Where to start is the first step to overcome. Unfortunately, I haven't much to go on. Captain Mellios seems like a likely target as his position of power in the last months has led to several "impetuous" decisions that, at least from what I can tell, seemed questionable. I have arranged a private meeting with his personal assistant - Sigmund. I am of great hope that Sigmund might be able to tell us something useful about it. We'll have to be quick and quiet about it though - for Mellios has a keen ear... Tough to get something as big as this quest started... I hope I can do it the justice we're looking for... |
| Erithmu07-25-07, 02:44 PM | Kracknol finally walked into the room. Ignatius looked up and grinned a rather toothy smile. He stood and gripped his brother at the shoulder. "Good to see you finally, I'm sorry that I stormed out before seeing you for long." Kracknol nodded, the pure-blooded dwarf waved his hands "I can understand, but I think the hardest hurdle is over: Gwar hasn't kicked you out." Ignatius nodded "Come lets work on the second hurdle, somewhat larger. We have a meeting to ask some questions of one of our members." With that the trio left to meet Sigmund. Just a heads up Sauro might be spotty, so I might do some RP and actions for him if he doesn't respond much, He mentioned as much in his campaign thread. |
| TelinArtho07-25-07, 04:19 PM | As the trio walked back into Arkhein, Kracknol, Ignatius and Lydia exchanged battle stories - both from the campaign into the north and for Ignatius's and Lydia's own experiences. It was refreshing to them both to catch up on their friendship at arms. Standing outside the personal residence of Sigmund, a small house just outside of the proper compound of the Celestial Forces, they found the house to be in good shape and tastefully constructed. A halfling tended to a small garden off to the right of the house. He smiled warmly at Ignatius, whom he recognized as a member of the local guild and then returned to his task. |
| Erithmu07-25-07, 06:40 PM | Ignatius considered the halfling for a moment and then knocked on the door. Ignatius stood right by the door, while Lydia and Kracknol stood a step back. With the finally rap on the door Ignatius took a half step back. |
| TelinArtho07-26-07, 09:57 AM | The trio did not have to wait long for an answer. A short portly human of about 40 opened the door and introduced himself to Kracknol as Sigmund. Welcome - let us go inside and discuss what concerns you. The inside of the house is immaculate, but tight. With a couple of overstuffed chairs in the greeting area - they all sit down to rest. Ignatius and Kracknol notice various items of religious significance and reference to Pelor in the room - but that is to be expected as Sigmund is a member of that faith's following. |
| Erithmu07-26-07, 10:36 AM | Ignatius looked around the front room and then stepped over to close any open windows. He made sure the room was unable to be entered without some notice. When this was done he finally sat down to put Sigmund at ease. "It is with great sadness that we come to discussion today. There is the possibility of corruption within the CEF ranks. While this information has not been made public, many of the guildmembers are aware of this. My brother Kracknol is here as a representative of the WAR guild. We are hoping to find that the ones who caused the rift between our guilds might bring around a mutual renewal of friendships. I am here to ask you about Captain Mellios." Ignatius let this information sink into Sigmund and left room open for him to ask questions. |
| TelinArtho07-26-07, 10:47 AM | That is a serious charge indeed. Are you intent on pursuing on Mellios - he is a celestial after all. Changing the disposition of a celestial is nigh impossible, as I'm sure you well know. Sigmund was certainly surprised by the topic, but he appeared thoughtful on the subject. I have worked with Captain Mellios for many months. I don't think I can pinpoint anything that seems out of sort with his character in that time. Have you anything that would give you an indication of this? |
| Erithmu07-26-07, 03:46 PM | Ignatius considered for a moment "I was not around when Mellios directing the efforts against WAR, but from my conversations with both sides it seems that both say the other started the fight. What worries me is that the Celestial Forces were attacking a non-lower planes organization rather than working the diplomatic means. It has been somewhat of a disagreement with the Celestial Forces history, tradition and mentality to start a full scale war in the middle of city streets. "More than anything we are looking for answers. Some of the inquisitional members have been wondering if there is some other force at work. A brief recounting of events before the war and during the war might shed light on things." Ignatius was glad that Sigmund was being polite, yet something was bothering him. Before Sigmund could begin, "Do you have a gardener?" Ignatius asked in a rather low tone. |
| TelinArtho07-26-07, 03:59 PM | A gardener? Oh you mean Francis? Yes - he helps tend the grounds for me. A hard worker and dilligent to boot - I never need to worry about my flowers when I haven't the time to care for them myself. Sigmund pauses while he tosses the rest of the ideas in his head. As he does so, Ignatius notices that he has his head cocked in an odd manner. He feels the tendrils of something closing in on his mind, and suddenly stands bolt upright. [I'll let you decide how to handle this in character. Essentially - you just got a very peculiar feeling that not only is this man not telling the truth - but also you felt just the beginnings of an intrusion on your mind... Kracknol on the other hand - is relatively clueless. Nice rolls for you guys, bad rolls for the bad guy...] |
| Erithmu07-26-07, 04:05 PM | Your giving me closed quarters ... awesome! Ignatius moves across the room with quick speed and grabs the man in his chair. "Liar ... Get out of my head." Initiate a grapple for subdual if needed. BTW there is a 3 person in the room as well, not that Lydia could do much about that check ... |
| TelinArtho07-26-07, 04:13 PM | That's right - she's clueless too... Iggy and Sigmund get surprise, Lydia and Kracknol will react after surprise. Sigmund, Lydia and Kracknol are in seated positions, Iggy is standing. Since you are restricted to a standard action - you can do a partial charge here - so no problem getting the distance and attack in. Give me a moment to get things started, and here's a quick and dirty map. - v - - - - - - | . . . . . . | | . d . . I . | | . . . . L . | | . . . . . . | > . .

| TelinArtho07-26-07, 04:26 PM | Sigmund is just as quick to react to Ignatius's outburst as he is and pulls a heavy flail out from a compartment in his chair. Ignatius charges forward, trying to get him into a grapple, but as he gets into range, Sigmund swings the flail at his head. The swing connects, but doesn't prevent Ignatius from getting a brief hold on the man's arm. Ignatius is briefly stunned by the fact that he feels metal on the priest's arm, where it looked like he wore just clothing, but in that time - Sigmund wrenches free of Ignatius's grasp. Surprise Round Sigmund - draw weapon in chair Ignatius - partial charge to grapple; Sigmund attacks with hold the line for 7. Ignatius succeeds on the touch for grapple, but fails to establish a hold.

| Erithmu07-26-07, 04:57 PM | heh ... Ignatius is quick to think about the situation. "The Gardener too ..." Lydia nodded but kept her focus on the man in the chair. Kracknol bounded from his chair weapons now covering most of the room Lydia readies a 5+2surge EM(Cold) if he tries spellcasting. Iggy will try to establish a grapple again, (flurry for subdual) and will draw his Guisarme if he has to move. Kracknol will stand (mv) and draw Ada glaive while basing Sigmund or moving to attack whoever might come in the door(s) Expend a focus for GPW on an AoO. |
| TelinArtho07-26-07, 05:21 PM | Welcome to my world of the Red Herring... Lydia focuses on Sigmund, prepared to disrupt him if he should try anything tricky. Suddenly - a slate of ice descends down the middle of the room - cutting off Kracknol from Ignatius and Lydia. Just as it forms though, Kracknol and Lydia both are able to stick their arms in the way of it - and it crumbles just as it came into being. Beside Kracknol, a hideous creature appears - with eyes that burn of fire and a guant figure that betrays its speed and cunning. A deadly stinger stands poised and ready to strike. Sigmund wraps the ball of his flail around the leg of Ignatius and tries to pull him down. Instead however, Ignatius pulls the flail out of his hand and it falls to the ground. Sigmund tries to pick it up, giving Ignatius another opening to try to wrestle, but he still can't maintain a hold. Just double checking - but if Kracknol stands - he will draw an AoO from Mister X due to reach. - v - - - - - - | . . . . . . | | . d I . . . | | . . . . L . | | . . . . . . | > . . K .

Sigmund tries to trip Ignatius and fails and is tripped instead. He drops the flail. He picks it up, provoking an AoO from Ignatius, who succeeds in the touch, but fails to establish a hold. Ignatius takes a 5ft step out of the reach of Mister X and finally gets a hold of Sigmund, wrenching him for 11 damage Status Ignatius 54/61, grappled -- Lydia 33/33 - seated Kracknol 93/93 - seated Sigmund xx-11/xx - seated, grappled Mister X xx/xx Kracknol is up to finish the round. |
| Erithmu07-26-07, 05:36 PM | Since you put it that way... Kracknol suddenly next to a very large ... something stands out of his chair drawing a swipe from the creature. It is shortly dwarfed by the dwarf as Kracknol expands his body. Lydia is quick to react as well. While Kracknol is drawing it's attention she rolls out of the chair onto her feet, and Lashes out at Sigmund who is now the lesser threat Krack: Stand (take AoO, mv) Racial expand to huge (90 min,std) Lydia Stand(mv), 5ft step N, 6+2 EM(fire) Sigmund |
| TelinArtho07-27-07, 12:02 AM | Ceiling is only 10ft high - so huge might not be the best size to choose here... I'll be back in the morning. |
| Erithmu07-27-07, 12:04 AM | .... Fine .... Have Krack 5ft step NE and draw his flail. |
| TelinArtho07-27-07, 11:17 AM | Does Kracknol want to spend 1pp for Empty Mind to resist the Fear aura of Mister X? Will save is +9 by default. |
| Erithmu07-27-07, 11:33 AM | Yes please |
| TelinArtho07-27-07, 12:46 PM | Kracknol stands and dodges aside the bite of the skeletal creature beside him and steps up to it - brandishing his flail. Just as he does so though - terror floods his mind and it screams to find a way out! Lydia focuses her energy on Sigmund and jets of flame smother him (though amazingly do not touch Ignatius in the least). [Just checking - the DC on that was 22 right?] Seeing that Kracknol is petrified with fear, the creature steps towards Lydia and attacks her with full force - tearing her skin mercilessly. Sigmund wrenches free from Ignatius and follows up with two attacks with his flail, but they bounce harmlessly off Ignatius's skin.

| Erithmu07-27-07, 12:58 PM | Well lets see here ... Yea DC was 22 ... this one coming up is 24 Ignatius Grumbles, Taking a step back he draws his black metal Guisarme and brings it down at Sigmund's Flail. Lydia steps back and arcs lightning between the two opponents Iggy: 5ft step E, Draw Guisarme, Activate CoPS,BoS and Sunder Sig's Flail. Lydia 6pp +2surge EM (Elec) targeting both (yes they are 15ft appart :) Krack runs... I thought about augmenting that Empty mind too ... I'm guessing his racial + to saves doesn't work here ... |
| TelinArtho07-27-07, 01:06 PM | Um - no. They are 20ft apart - how do you count your squares? I was thinking about that - if you want to look up support for it - go ahead. Running to lunch now. He only failed by one - so that's a big question. It is a supernatural ability though, so I don't think it qualifies. Be back in a bit. |
| Erithmu07-27-07, 01:18 PM | 15ft: was counting reach ... not square to square ... Send the EM (fire) and Iggy will attack the demon/devil with his attack if Sig dies. Saving throw: SRD lists the (Su) entry as a magical effect, while the aura is not itself a spell effect, the effect it causes is a spell. The Duergar save entry lists Spells and Spell like effects, as opposed to SLA. This is consistent w/ the standard dwarf effects and the Elven racial to enchantment effects. I would argue that the Fear aura causes a spell like effect while the ability is not listed as such. I can certainly see both ways, and if I was a DM I would probably allow the save bonus to count in this situation. |
| TelinArtho07-27-07, 05:43 PM | Well that's the thing - a SLA produces a Spell-like effect. The fear aura has the effect of Fear, but I wouldn't necessarily call it "Spell-like." As in (Su) is not (Sp). Ignatius steps away and draws his guisarme and swings it down on Sigmund's flail in one smooth motion. However, the skillful man merely deflects the angle of the blow and it glides off his weapon without damage. [Missed the CoPS and BoS in the opposed roll - but it isn't enough to make it a success] Kracknol drops his flail in panic and runs for the nearest door. As he does so, the creature's vicious jaws snap at his heels, but just bite armor. He opens the door - ready to run clear back to Central Gladius. Lydia's hands spread and she fires off another bolt of scathing fire - and it strikes Sigmund fully in the chest - sending jolts through his body in a violent motion - before the charred body falls to the ground. Once there - his clothes fade and reveal a suit of full plate underneath and his face reforms into a nondescript form. The creature steps towards Ignatius and Lydia and brings its natural weapons down on them. After a devastating bite and claw, Lydia falls to the ground. The creature then claws and stings at Ignatius, hurting him severely as well. That decision to change from EM(Elec) to EM(Fire) was a big one - that extra +8 damage was enough to push him into negatives before he was able to step away and heal. You guys are getting bad rolls everywhere else - but hopefully you'll be able to hold it together for a bit longer.

| SauroGrenom07-28-07, 02:24 PM | I just want to pop in and say Hi. Rith is doing a great job with Kracknol so far. You've got my permission to run him as needed if I'm not available to do it. At this particular moment, there isn't much that Kracknol can do. For the record I agree with Telin on the racial save bonus thing. My basis is that SR applies to spells and SLA's. I wouldn't allow SR to apply to a supernatural fear effect, so a save vs such an effect wouldn't include bonuses vs spells and spell like abilities. |
| SauroGrenom07-28-07, 09:20 PM | This is ugly. Honestly, I'm not sure what Ignatus can really do against this foe. The DR makes it hard to hurt it. The small quarters, and brutal full attack sequence makes melee really hard. I just crunched the numbers for taking full attacks, and the expected damage at AC 20 is 19/round to Iggi. If you boost to 24AC, then you take 13.55/round. If you go to 28, then you are taking 8/round. These are averages, so some luck could swing those either way. So the point is that if you take full attacks, you die in round 3 of melee. Also if you get your buffs up, then you survive for a while longer dying in round 8 or so. Vigor stones buy you time only if your AC is improved. In which case you get one to three rounds worth of time for each stone. Good thing you're a duergar. So the poison isn't an issue. But perhaps you can grapple? It will be harder to penetrate the DR with an unarmed strike, but at least you'll have some staying power. Get those AC buffs going, then an alpha strike with Kracknol's flail will hurt it with acid and the dissipating touch, assuming you can get in a good hit against it's 25AC. After that, perhaps try to grapple? Grapple forces it to take a -4 attack roll, or use only unarmed strikes (1d4+5). Perhaps Kracknol can come back by that time and fight with his glaive? I don't know really. You're stuck between a bone devil and a hard place. |
| Erithmu07-29-07, 03:26 AM | Grapple isn't that good of an option: It has +19 vs my +20(21) ... That and if it wants to get out it just uses Teleport. I was planning on going for Krack's flail, but what I am really more worried about is Lydia dying as I think we are going to need her artillery for the next couple of fights. The added kicker is that I can push Iggy's AC to 32 w/ comb Expertise, which then turns this into a game of 20s ... And the bone devil rolls more dice than I do, Other option is to run PA. Either of which makes it a 16+ to hit (15 w/ haste) Not sure what I'm going to do, gotta see the situation when/if I get my buffs up. I might go tripping route as well +11vs+9 and +15 on counter trip. |
| TelinArtho07-30-07, 10:16 AM | Looks like I made the room too small... there's no where in the room that Iggy can move to that wouldn't allow the osyluth a full attack against him. Do you still want to tumble and risk suffering the AoO? Ignatius did his best to avoid the assault of the creature and manifested a force of armor around himself before trying to escape the claws of the creature. Unfortunately, his timing is off and its jaws clamp down on him - tearing at his leg. To Iggy's surprise and satisfaction, Kracknol makes it out of the door to safety. It follows him in the room - pinning him to a corner and attacks him mercilessly. Luckily, Ignatius avoids the worst of the attacks and only suffers the bite of the creature once more, narrowly dodging the creature's stinger by a moment's breadth.

| Erithmu07-30-07, 10:28 AM | Nah ... Go ahead and expend focus to manifest FS and step south. |
| TelinArtho07-30-07, 10:36 AM | Further protecting himself, Ignatius takes a severe claw to the neck and is barely able to keep standing. Okay - confirmed crit claw for 13 damage. What now? |
| Erithmu07-30-07, 10:46 AM | Vigor stone and step south. |
| TelinArtho07-30-07, 11:08 AM | Ignatius starts to pull a stone from his belt, but doing so opens himself up to an attack. The osyluth bites at him and tears his leg out from under him - sending him to the ground, unconscious. When Ignatius awakens, he finds himself back in the CEF headquarters. Lydia stands over him. Rough luck in this fight to be certain. With Kracknol, I think it would've been a relative walk in the park - but without him, a very difficult fight. Sorry it didn't turn out better. Do you guys want to give this another shot? |
| Erithmu07-30-07, 11:30 AM | Can't fight dice like that ... Does Krack get a shot when he comes back? |

Bear in mind - he'd have to retrieve his flail on his own then too... Also - if you die in the quest - I'm not sure if you'd be allowed to come back for the last two fights (certainly not for Lydia - but it is ambiguous for Iggy...) |

| SauroGrenom07-31-07, 11:23 AM | As I was reading this, and I saw Kracknol fleeing... I knew this was going to be bad. Then Lydia fell, and it was basically over. Yea there's no point in continuing this mission. If our guildmasters want to do a second one, then I'm OK with that. |
