Sea of Shadows

If you set out from the halls:
The map produced is well crafted; adorned with coloring and markers for various key points visited, but mainly it projects a way north east, towards a ruined outpost, broken many years ago in an advance from the minotaur hordes. According to the map, Cisterns lead further down beneath, once at the bottom of three equally sized lakes, long drained and gone.
These mark the way down towards the confirmed location and gate to the sea of shadows.
The city and its lakes once supplied Saruun Khel with drinking water, now the stone and rubble was all that was left and often passed without noticing much.

The trek north is fast, roughly 10 minutes from the hall.
Walking slowly through the damp and slightly dark hallways, you come to small incarved area leading off to the side, through a small hallway, to a large area, high ceiling and lit well, despite being lost to the ages.
Sparse supporting beams, walls broken down and rubble everywhere show that the housing and area is long left. Dried lakes surround the area and at the farthest away has a large cistern removed showing a ladder downwards, to a carved tunnel beneath.
The halls are deafeningly silent.

Should you walk down, you see this:
You walk down the hallway to find a set of winding stairs, and walking down these for some time you finally emerges at the top of a large natural cavern.
The air is cold and almost unnatural chilling. The staircase turns downwards and reaches the rocky floor of the cavern. Stone, debris and large ancient skeletons from some forgotten battle are lying all over the floor and huge stalagmites raises from the floor, stretching towards the darkness of the dome above.
You look out over a huge expanse of black water were shadows play across the surface like mist.
Ancient stone bridges span the water between cave walls and stalagmites and stalactites. Water drips from the ceiling high above but causes no sound when they meet the shadow sea below.
They are just swallowed silently by the darkness underneath. The air is unnatural cold, as if the underdark sea was sucking the heat out of your bodies into its fold of shadows.
At the edge of your light you can see something moving – swirls of shadows coalescing into forms of shadowy wraiths. Their silent screams spreads ice down your backs as they speed towards you, like harriers of darkness. For now, they are at a distance, and you have not been noticed.


OOC:
I assume you have some degree of light source, as otherwise there is utter darkness and travel or even walking is impossible.

Sea of Shadows

Grock looked over the various structures along their route wondering how long it has been since the last living person walked them. Going down the halls and tunnels made him miss being up in the sun on the open deck of a boat feeling a warm breeze. He crossed his arms as he looked out over the Sea of Shadows while also making note of the wraiths out along the waters. The half Orc looked to his companions. “What now? Do we go swimming?”

"We don't want to touch that stuff, let alone swim in it. The bridges will have to do, for now." Not that he fully trusted those either, but the works of the old city had held up remarkably well for their age, and in absence of any other means of crossing, it was that or bring an engineering team down to build new ones.


Passive Perception and Dungeoneering would both be 19: how stable do those bridges look and are there any weak points to avoid?

Sea of Shadows

"I concur with Rynoth. Even if it is simply water from the Shadowfell, we do not know what is in it. Consider it a last resort." Jhaartael's sitar was currently on his back, and he had his everburning torch in his left. He looked down at the swirl below. "Breathtaking, isn't it? The Shadowfell possesses a macabre beauty, although if I must go there, I would prefer to do so while still alive. I understand the urge to jump in, but I do not believe the beauty of death exceeds the beauty of life. Personal taste, admittedly."

Sea of Shadows

Looking around Rynoth learn with some degree of difficulty due to the lighting, that the well-built bridges of stone cross the shadow water 10 feet above the water on average (varies between bridges, 5-15 feet).
All skeletons are of minotaur origin. Curiously enough. One has a shield laying by it, which appear out of sorts and in better shape and form that most other piece laying around. Most are broken or rusted away.

A rough estimate gives Rynoth the sense that while the Wraiths for now are out of threat distance, they will learn of them the second they move onto any of the two bridges forward.
Given that there is a ledge, this proves somewhat of a concern.
(Climbing these, down or up is a DC 20 athletics check to avoid the cold shadowy water).

There is no obvious weak points, more that the bridges themselves are combat wise less than ideal for positioning and spacing.


OOC:
In terms of the map, the second you move onto any of the bridges you will be discovered and hence right now you have the upper hand. The distance to the foes is well over 100 ft, making much impossible to hurl their way.

Sea of Shadows

"I feel that we'd be better off dealing with the wraiths from where we are, rather than trying to fight them on the causeways, but I'm also concerned about these bones lying around," Rynoth concluded after relating his observations. He shook his head. "Right next to a Shadowfell gateway?" He briefly focused his attention on the out-of-place shield and the bones that bore it. Was it just out-of-place or something more?

Arcana 23 (27 if it involves a trap) and Religion 19: anything from that shield, and how (un)lively are these bones?

"Well, this is vastly unfavorable." Jhaartael consider the routes. "The shield is likely enchanted, but on the topic of movement, I would recommend the path to the left. It has more cover. The path to the right is good, if we intend to bombard them with arcane power, but we will need to strike fast and hard to cut through them before they descend on us."

"Left is cunning, right is valor. Straight ahead, along the right bridge... well, that requires more confidence than I have, but I'll follow you all the same. I advise against the water without a boat."

Sea of Shadows

Grock gauged the situation. “We’re going to fight them. No way around that. I would prefer we face them here where there is plenty of room for us. For all we know, if we’re on the bridge they could drag us into the water. We should direct their attention here and make our stand. We still have the option to run away during the fight if need be. Now would be a good time for you all to drink those potions we got. My mask provides me some protection against their necrotic grasp.”

Sea of Shadows

The swirling foes weave in and out in the distance, over the shadowy and silent waters.
The shield itself is highly magical, with a quick attunement(short rest with it in hand), it would be obvious as to what it can really do.

The bones are remains and were killed in brutal fashion during a battle quite some time ago - but remain dormant and without any life to them.

"Lure them over here..." Jhaartael thought for a moment. "I wonder what they would want. With that insight, we could present them with something they would be willing to approach us over."

15:22, Today: Jhaartael rolled 28 using 1d20+10.  Knowledge Religion regarding the spirits. Hopefully, that gives us information we can use to lure them over.

The spirits are bound to the area, serving a purpose by their master - their location and calm and rather small area of movement suggests strongly that their bond and order is to protect the bridges against all that come near. They will not be swayed away unless the bridges are thread upon or the likelihood of anyone advancing is present.
So anything advancing at them, would anger them and lure them in.

Re: Sea of Shadows

"So they'll only attack when someone moves onto a bridge?" Rynoth mused. "Maybe we can exploit that by having someone start to climb onto one, then fall back when they react? I doubt that we'll be so lucky a to find that they can't cross the shoreline, but fighting them here is far preferable to fighting them up on one of those."

Re: Sea of Shadows

Grock moved forward toward the bridge. “I’ll be the bait as I’m the most mobile of us. Be ready and in formation for when they come.”The half Orc waited for the group to be ready when he put his first foot on the bridge.

Re: Sea of Shadows

"A pity, but luring them in is acceptable. I was hoping we could simply blast them from here, but my magic lacks that degree of range." Jhaartael held the torch in one hand, and had his sword ready in the other. He seemed to do some kind of light voice clearing, and practiced a few slightly off notes.

Re: Sea of Shadows

For combat! If you engage, roll initiative!
Also, do adjust HP, surges etc, if any was used pre combat.

Re: Sea of Shadows

"If you get caught out, I will attempt to get you out. Just... try not to die. That's a lot of foul miasma about to come our way." Jhaatael stepped forward, stopped, and stomped the ground three times. "Excellent. I will conduct from here. Places!"

He wove his blade into the air, preparing to intercept an attack that arrived closer than he expected.

Move: To H12, I believe.
Minor: If blade wasn't readied, it is ready now.
Standard: Defensive stance.

Re: Sea of Shadows

The beasts howled the second the bridges were touched as if bound to them and to ensure no one passed...alive.

Advancing the foes became visible and spread out to protect, but much to the calm of the group, they remained positioned and unable to attack at long range - for now at least.
One of them, burning with a bright blue light, howled out deep at the end, and it was as if the foes became more rapid from that point on(+5 speed next round)

Re: Sea of Shadows

Power pulsed from Rynoth's outstretched blade as he raised it toward the soon-to-be-onrushing horde. The primary charge lanced through one of the nearby wraiths, shredding its form and essence, while Khalid and Grock both found benefit from the surplus energy that Rynoth shaped and redirected. Khalid's weapon tingled in his hand as it became suffused, while Grock faintly sensed a latent warding shell snap into place around him.



Move: None?

Std: Magic Weapon vs Figment J7 crits for 17 damage, destoying it. Khalid? gains a +1 power bonus to attack rolls and a +3 power bonus to damage rolls until Rynoth's EONT.

Minor: Resistive Formula on Grock: Grock gains a +1 power bonus to AC until the end of the encounter. Grock can end the bonus as a free action to gain 16 temporary hit points (surge value + 3).


Immediate Interrupt: Shocking Feedback vs enemy that hits and damages an ally with an attack: Range 5/10; +13 vs. AC; 2d4 + 6 lightning damage, and the ally hit gains resist 5 all until Rynoth's EONT.

He will prefer to use this when the enemy is in normal (not long) range, and when he will either not draw an OA by using it or is protected from one by a defender mark/aura/etc.

Re: Sea of Shadows

"Got one trying to be clever. That's our job. Im brui!" The air rippled as he quietly screamed words of the storm at a wraith going for a flank. He then started getting off the bridge. "Grock, let's fall back a bit. The front line is going to be closer than I thought!"

Standard: 20:52, Today: Jhaartael rolled 23 using 1d20+9.  Staggering Note vs Wraith Figment at D7, vs Will. For some reason, my brain insists this targets Fortitude. It does not.
Move: To I15

Re: Sea of Shadows

"What manner of foe are you?" demands Khalid, stepping closer to the shore, heedless of the dark waters. "Ha!"

With that, he hurls Prophet's Breath at the nearest creature. The weapon sighs meditatively as it slices through the air, through the spirit, and whirls back to the gnome's hand. "Ha, I say!"


Move: Walk to K13.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Snarling, the wraiths advance - and bundled up on Grock, but the nimble and prepared monk is lightning quick - averting all strikes with ease.
The cold touch is felt by being close but nothing comes of it!

A spectre appeared, and howl at his soul, but managed not to sway the iron will of Grock either who stood as a bastion before them.

Out the side of his eyes, Grock did notice a larger, more frightening foe appear, the master of the wraiths and spectres most likely.
The presence unsettles him greatly!

GROCK is in the aura on the map -
Any enemy that ends its turn in the aura takes 5 psychic, and the wraith slides it up to 2 squares.
Further, the master teleports a spectre to the location aside Grock, but does not provoke OA doing so.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Rynoth saw opportunity in the shades' hungry focus on a single victim and pointed his knife toward Grock, channeling elemental energy into his body, and without further warning, an anticyclonic burst erupted around the monk, scattering or dissipating several of the shadowy menaces. The core of that miniature storm wall remained briefly in place, shielding Grock within the eye of its ferociously whipping winds.



Std: Gale Force Infusion (Area burst 2) hits Figment 2 (destroyed), Specter 1, and Specter 2 for 6(12) thunder damage and pushed to K7 and K8; misses Figment 1, Figment 3, and Mad Wraith Master; Grock gains a +5 power bonus to AC until Rynoth's EONT.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Grock gave a thumbs up to Rynoth behind him and faced down the two wraiths remaining. A quick spin sent the chains of his manacles into the wraiths destroying them while sending two sling stones at their master who had come within range. A quick backflip got him out of the dreadful aura emanating from it.

09:20, Today: Grock rolled 11 using 1d8+7.  Five storm damage .
09:19, Today: Grock rolled 23 using 1d20+11.  Dancing Storms attack reflex 19.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Khalid greets Prophet's Breath on its return path, but doesn't catch it. Instead, he guides it on another arc out toward the nearest spirit. It seems to go through the undead form, but without appreciable effect.

"They have the advantage," he says, putting the weapon into a holding pattern around his small body. "They only need to wait us out."

Jhaartael let another of his magically inventive profanities loose at the specter that had a sword thrown at it. "No, they will be compelled to attack. They will hunger for us."

Re: Sea of Shadows

In a mad dash the insubstancial and large wraith moves forward with haste and intent, and the coldness it emits touches those nearby.
Striking with a ghostly hand, into the mind almost of Khalid, he feels uneasy and weakened by it.
The specters, following their master advance to surround Nezumi and flay with ghostly hands to damn her to the afterlife, their cold grasp causing her great unease.


13 damage to KHALID, -2 to ALL defenses until EOMNT

Re: Sea of Shadows

The wraith-master's form flitted and dissolved around the arc-blast that erupted from Rynoth's dagger and curved through it to alight on Khalid. It could not respond the same way to the cacophonous eruption that followed; even reduced by its ethereal aspect, there was enough force there to send it fluttering back toward the base of the bridge.

Rynoth also moved back a short distance - away from the bridge in his case - and released another surge of energy, this time directed at Nezumi, warding her against the touch of the dead.


Immediate Interrupt: Shocking Feedback vs Master Wraith misses. No OA since this occurs on its turn.
Std: Thundering Armor on Khalid vs MWM hits for 4(8) thunder damage and MWM is pushed 1 to I12. Khalid gains a +1 power bonus to AC until Rynoth's EONT.
Move: Walk to I16. Out of aura range.
Minor: Shielding Elixir on Nezumi: Nezumi gains Resist 5 Necrotic until the end of the encounter. She can expend it as a free action to gain Immune Necrotic until the end of her next turn.

Re: Sea of Shadows

"Khalid, this might sting a bit. I hope you are forgiving. Edraith!" With a gesture of Jhaartael's blade and a word, Khalid found himself suddenly inspired to be beside the Mad Wraith. He then turned his eye to the specter on the shoreline. "You are in the wrong place. Flawed choreography. Mistad! Khalid needs to look more endangered."

Move: Slide Khalid to J12, courtesy of Word of Escape.
Standard: 16:34, Today: Jhaartael rolled 24 using 1d20+9.  Blunder against L11 Specter, vs Will.
16:36, Today: Jhaartael rolled 12 using 1d6+6.  Damage against Specter. Only six damage, really.
Moving Specter at L11 to J13.
However, before they go, Nezumi can slap them with a Melee Basic Attack with a +4 Power bonus as they move from her as a free action, because Blunder.
No minor action.


He gave a smirk. "Almost adequate. Now for the next act."

Re: Sea of Shadows

Khalid meets the undead foe with gusto. "We are now joined, foul shade. Face me!" The gnome's sword begins pulsing out nigh-invisible waves of energy that erode the necrotic form of the wraith.


Start of turn, I think? Take 5 damage in aura.
Minor: Aegis of assault on master wraith.
Standard: 22:22, Today: Khalid ibn Faizal rolled 22 using 1d20+9.  Sword burst +9 vs. Reflex 18 of master wraith. Hit.

Re: Sea of Shadows

The mad wraith snarled and struck out at Khalid with a howling sensation to it.
The cold blows struck at the sensation of fear within Khalid as it moved through his skin and outwards. Cold. very cold to the touch.
The specters gather and in a sickening flurry of movement, ethereal arms strike from all directions and strike both Nezumi and Grock heavily with equally disturbing touches.
Their stern or magical focus appear to dampen some of its effect but it is still felt greatly!
As one of the weakened specters approach, the furious winds from nezumi strike one down before it gets a chance to do more damage!

Khalid: 17 damage.
Grock and Nezumi: 15 damage; both resist 5 damage per hit. 10 total damage!

Re: Sea of Shadows

Rynoth steeled himself against the master wraith's presence and focused his attention on the specter in front of him. Charged strikes tore at its form, and their excess energy flowed into Jhartaael.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Grock ran around to move in between the specter and the mad wraith but the effect of the dread aura caused him to lose concentration just enough for his attack to be ineffective. Knowing retributive attacks were coming, he held up both arms to deflect them.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Khalid seems as though he might fade away with the force of the wraith's attack, but instead he rallies and sends forth an attack of his own: spines of pure force that spear the shadow spirit.


Standard: 20:35, Today: Khalid ibn Faizal rolled 27 using 1d20+11.  Spikes of agony +11 vs AC 22 of wraith master. Hit.
20:36, Today: Khalid ibn Faizal rolled 13 using 1d8+5.  Spikes of agony damage, 2d8+5 force damage. If the wraith master moves before the end of its next turn, it takes 8 force damage.

Re: Sea of Shadows

The essence of the specter slain by the storm coalesces as a barrier around Nezumi and propels her into the midst of the fray as she savagely strikes the obvious master of the local undead and renews the storm around her.

Re: Sea of Shadows

"Ugh, no - too close. This is a formal dance, not a risque performance! Not intentionally, anyhow. Ambar." Jhaartael took a step out of the cold enveloping him, and spoke to Khalid after the magic was done repairing him. "You are doing fine, but I need you to catch another dance partner. Padadna!

The compulsion, however, failed to find purchase on the spirit. His voice dripped with contempt. "As if you understand showmanship better than I, spirit!"

Move: Shift to I16.
Minor: Revitalizing Incantation on Khalid (already done)
Standard: 06:52, Today: Jhaartael rolled 15 using 1d20+10.  Impelling Force vs Fort. Original target was K10 Specter, but unfortunately, that is a miss by one.

Re: Sea of Shadows

The last wraith engages from a distances to rally with its kin.
In a blur of angered howling, the master unleashes a roar, but not a loud one, rather a cold eminating sensation of dread, that enriches those around it.
With the regained prowess they advance and strike hard, and eat slowly and the life essence of those around them!

Move:
Mad Wraith Master use Shadow’a Blessing: all ally in burst5, regain 15 HP.
As always if in Aura, take 5 damage(psychic) if ending turn there!

Master vs Khalid. 24 vs Will. Hit. 14 damage, -2 to all defensen UEOMNT.
Specter #1: Hits Nezumi. 10 damage.
Specter #2: Hits Khalid. 12 damage.
Wraith minion: Hits Grock: 6 damage, slowed.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Grock grits his teeth at the attack from the wraith. The half Orc then grips the chains from his manacles and whirls in a circle hitting each ghostly figure next to him with precision. The specter and the wraith dissipate leaving only the master next to him.

09:04, Today: Grock rolled 27 using 3d8+7.  Five storms crit damage.
09:03, Today: Grock rolled 31 using 1d20+11.  Five storms attack .

Standard: Five Storms crit wraith, Spectre, and MWM. Wraith is gone. Damage plus one flurry of blows each at half damage is 19 damage to both specter killing it and MWM
Move: none
Bonus: none

Forgot to put that last round Grock had resist 3 all until the end of his next turn. Adjusted temp hp

Re: Sea of Shadows

Rynoth decided to reposition away from the enervating wraith-shroud, but not before discharging another energy-bolt into the wraith responsible for it. The field had grown a great deal clearer, at least.


Std: Magic Weapon hits MWM for 4(8) damage. Grock and Khalid gain a +1 power bonus to attack rolls and a +3 power bonus to damage rolls until Rynoth's EONT.
Move: Walk to M14.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Khalid wheels on the remaining specter. "Like your grim master, you will now heed my aegis!" he calls, accentuating this vow with a thrust of his sword. A storm of misty runes flows from it, surrounding the insane spirit.

Then he turns to the wraith and unleashes a pulse of pure force; not a sword strike, but more like the memory of dozens of strikes, given form. "You cannot win! Even this pathetic half-life will be torn from you!"


Minor: Swordmage's degree. Close blast 3, targeting only the specter. It is now marked by Khalid's aegis of assault. This does not remove the mark from the mad wraith. Because he marked only one target, he does not expend use of this power, but he cannot use it again during this encounter.
Standard: 11:25, Today: Khalid ibn Faizal rolled 24 using 1d20+10.  Sword burst (with magic weapon) +10 vs. Reflex 18 of mad wraith. Hit.
11:28, Today: Khalid ibn Faizal rolled 11 using 1d6+8.  Sword burst damage (with magic weapon) 1d6+8 force. 11 force damage.

Re: Sea of Shadows

"A fellow conductor like myself? I suppose a counterperformance is in order. Foeg galu!" Jhaartael managed to successfully weave the dark energies this time, but getting the entropic forces to align favorably was not in the fates. "You are getting into the spirit of things, Khalid. Keep it up."

He liked his position where it was, and intended to hold it.

Standard: 22:18, Today: Jhaartael rolled 15 using 1d8+9.  Unluck damage vs Mad Wraith.
Move: None.
Minor: None.

22:17, Today: Jhaartael rolled 27 using 1d20+10.  Unluck vs Reflex of Mad Wraith.
22:18, Today: Jhaartael rolled 15 using 1d8+9.  Unluck damage vs Mad Wraith.
22:20, Today: Jhaartael rolled 5 using 1d20.  Unluck replacement roll for our side.
22:20, Today: Jhaartael rolled 20 using 1d20.  Unluck replacement roll.

So... it hit, but the damage is 7 or 8 necrotic. I don't know if the Wraith has Necrotic resistance or not. Also, unless you want the enemy to crit or you want a five on the dice roll, I don't think you want my rolls, so I will not be giving them.

Re: Sea of Shadows

The two souls attack with fury but only the larger master of the two manages to strike coldly at the skin of Khalid, attempting to unnerve him, and bring him to the other side of living. The strike brings Khalid in a rough spot but still standing.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Khalid eyes flash for just a moment as he strikes - in both directions at once. Not wishing to choose, he invoked magic that let him take both paths. This was smart, as attacking the specter at this time was not, it turned out, advantageous. The wraith, on the other hand, was in good position to be struck. And strike the swordmage did.


Standard: 19:04, Today: Khalid ibn Faizal rolled 27,14 using 1d20+9,1d20+9.  Sword burst +9 vs. Reflex 18 and 16 of Wraith and Specter. Hit and miss.
19:07, Today: Khalid ibn Faizal rolled 11 using 1d6+5.  Sword burst damage, 1d6+5. Poor man's critical!
Move: None.

22:49, Today: Grock rolled 24 using 1d20+13.  Crane Wings attack action point.
22:48, Today: Grock rolled 14 using 1d20+13.  Crane wings attack with combat advantage Fort 18.


Standard: attack miss
Action point: Crane Wings attack hits for total 11 damage after insubstantial defeats MWM
Move: None.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Jhaartael smiled as he noted the spectre's odds of victory, especially with the lead gone. He spoke with a cold and certain whisper. "Your time in this world is over, spirit, and you have failed in your mission. Leave on your terms, or depart on ours."

05:41, Today: Jhaartael rolled 30 using 1d20+12.  Intimidate check on Spectre to force a surrender.
Holy crap, that actually worked? I mean, of course it worked. It was my idea.
Depending on how it thinks, surrender could mean anything from "it runs away full tilt" to "it tries to talk its way out of a further beating."

That should end the fight.

Re: Sea of Shadows

The spirit vanishes slowly but utters a phrase before doing so.
"Follow the path, allies in strange places are here....tread with ease."
In a small inverted shimmer of light, the figure vanishes.

The path before you is silent and cold, as a sea lost in time without any wind or hint of nature affecting it. Just dark and cold.

Ahead of you lay two paths, and both appear to end in a small plateau, where a tower rises before you.
The tower overlooks the whole Sea of Shadows it seems, and due to the crumbling steps and sheer cliffs around it, it seems obvious that it would usually deter explorers or worse creatures from approaching the watchtower. Closing in you hear a savage howl from the tower, but can not make out where it is from.

Just beyond it, you see a hardy, but rough stone bridge leading further into the darkness....

If anyone at any point take a short rest with the shield found it turns out to be:

Spoiler text: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
Shield of Speed and Evasion:
Arm slot; 840 gp value
Daily power: Imm. reaction.
If enemy scores critical hit vs either AC or reflex, you regain use of a spent encounter power, or spend 1 AP to regain daily power. Power can only be upto level 4.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Jhaartael was testing the idea of using a magically attuned blade to sing, although the most he could get out of it at the moment was akin to a high pitched noise akin to wine glasses. It was pleasant enough, but experimental. He attempted to combine it with the sitar. The result was... different.

"Hmm. If you take the word of a malevolent spirit, we will encounter allies to our cause on one of these paths, although what it would know of our intentions is limited. It does tell me our opposition is either very well informed of us, or - more likely - they are jumping to conclusions about our allegiances, creating a self-fulfilling prophecy in which we will become the very thing they feared we were." Jhaartael smiled at the thought, still speaking in that near whisper. "Exciting."

His smile wavered, but the experimental music was adequate for his purposes... which meant it was garbage and he'd never try it again.

Re: Sea of Shadows

One of Rynoth's ears tilted and twisted a bit as the wine-glass effect rang out again, but it was a subtle enough shift that it would be easily missed among his more obvious turn of the head to address Jhaartael with a hint of a smile. "Or it wants to bait us. Whatever its motives, they're bad, so I'll treat its words accordingly."

With that, he started moving along the path toward the tower, minding the stability of the bridge itself. There might not be any good path here, but a collapsing one would surely be even worse.

Grock huffed as the last spirit disappeared. Looking across the paths to the tower he rubbed his chin. “Regardless of which path we take, I would suggest that I go first. I am the most agile of us and have abilities to leap large distances if needed. Don’t want any of you falling down into that water.”

Re: Sea of Shadows

You traverse the bridge, carefully and thankfully without much incident.
Both paths lead, each way around, to a small peninsula of wet rock and dirt, where on the eastern side you notice a structure.
You see a tower is tall and the stone is old, worn and wet, yet stable and strong and appear to have been here for ages, yet show little sign on it - the wind and sound and waves are calm and barely present beneath the earth, on the fraying edge of the shadowfell.

The howling also is hound like from within the tower, which is tall and with the dark stone almost hiding it from sight until close up and eyeing up you notice that the darkness outside make it appear like it is endlessly tall.

Eyeing up you see a faint light and a shadow - at the end of a long, winding staircase on top of what you now find out to be a stalagmite piercing the ground up, with the tower on top.
The place itself is placed high and allows full view of the area and sea...for many miles in every direction. However sneaking could be an option if one was curious and hesitant or carefully wanted to eye the top of the tower. Alternatively one could simply try and pass it and hope for the best onwards.

"Since we have no time pressures, we could scout." Jhaartael wasn't very worried, but he was curious about what they would be walking into. "Perhaps if we know how the story is supposed to end, we might decide to write a better ending."

His abilities to sneak were passable, but not particularly good. It came with being something of a dilettante. (OOC: +8. Better than someone who doesn't have it at all, but not as good as someone who has it as a main skill.)

"If it's confined to the tower, I'd be inclined to leave it there." Rynoth was clearly less than enthused about going out of their way to engage in another confrontation, but nevertheless half-conceded and half-talked himself into going along with the idea by way of the simple observation, "I suppose that we can't really be sure that it is, though."

Re: Sea of Shadows

The group moves slowly upwards, calmly but uncertain how silently.
At the top you can see a large tower, with a window peaking in near the entrace.
The scent of dried herbs wafts out from the tower’s interior.
A table stands in the middle of the room and is surrounded by a few modest furnishings.
Two fierce hounds wrapped in darkness stand near the table, growling.
A dark skinned woman stands by a large cauldron heated by a low fire.
The woman have not noticed you and continues to stir in the cauldron while the short figures all in black tries to hold the snarling hounds at bay.
None of them appear to notice you for now.

The howling winds and silence outside is almost deafening, but the warm exterior and the calm demeanor of the woman is a curious offset to this.

Khalid's ink-black eyes widen even more at this sight. He turns to his allies and mimes tiptoeing back to the base of the tower.

"Allies in strange places." Jhaartael repeated what he remembered. "I would advocate speaking with her. She does not carry the trappings of death, and might provide us with a temporary beachhead if we play our cards right. The only danger is that a person who lives alone will not want us to linger. We must approach with respect if we opt for this. If we have no wish for this, though, we can simply forge ahead and consider her a loose end."

Re: Sea of Shadows

From behind the table, the dusky-skinned woman looks up and says, “Come in, come in.”
A smile spreads across her dark face as she stretches out a gnarly hand and gives her finger a flick. The door slams shut.
You notice the room is well lit, with a fireplace and numerous candles provides light inside tower.
A table with two chairs, a decent bed and a small kitchen makes the tower feel homey albeit the smell is exotic, from various herbs around the small room.
The hounds whom appear next to her at all time are cautious and could spring to action at any point.
Her eyes wander up and down trying to size you up.

Re: Sea of Shadows

The woman eyed Jhaartel, and seemed curious and alert. She shared something which felt as much as a means to gage your involvement and stature.
“I tell you this, the Sea of Shadow is like a thin membrane to the world of Shadowfell were Orcus, as we speak, is gathering his hordes of demons and undead.
A traitor within the Mages of Saruun has betrayed its Masters and bound them with Shadow Binders at the Vortex of Shadow.
These most feared servants of Orcus are dominating the mages and are forcing their arcane energies into the bronze wardens who stand singing the Song of Breaking around the vortex. Soon the rift will break and necrotic shadow water will burst through and flood the whole Nentir Vale, bringing darkness and undeath in its wake.”


She gages the reaction, obviously harnessing further information, but to understand if that rang any truth to you.
"I can show you how to move on to the named Vortex of Shadow, should you desire to aid that..question is...did I guess right or not? You were vague, so share with me exactly you are doing here and I might be able to provide more...perhaps..."

Re: Sea of Shadows

"Wellllllll..." Jhaartael gave Nezumi a guilty look. "The truth is that we are down here because I'm fairly sure we resolved that above, and we are cleaning up by eliminating these singers of the Song - which admittedly hurts me to say. I like music. But the forces of Orcus are on the backfoot in the Halls at least, and we are making sure they do not regroup in this area with the backup plan.

"So it seems we are on the same side, if you find that reducing the disposition of spirits from murderous to merely spooky is a goal of yours. My ancestry..." he tapped one of his pronounced ears as he spoke, "...would make it hypocritical to demand an absolute closing of the gates between worlds and a complete eviction of all who come here. But if it is necessary to close it... well... I hope that you don't think less of us for it."

Re: Sea of Shadows

The woman sighed, but not of dismay, but more so of relief.
"You may be of use...or seek something valiant enough to not be trouble. Take heed and listen.
I know what and where you need to go.
The Vortex of Shadow is guarded by the mightiest of Orcus servants – a terrifying shadow dragon named Sjach’haurach ‘Shadow Fate’. He will try to stop your efforts to release the mages of Saruun.
Take this Orb of Indisputable Gravity and use it carefully. When the shadow dragon is hovering low over the waters, use it to force the dragon down in the water and back through the rift. If you are successful you will be free to attack the shadow binders who are entrapping the mages of Saruun.”


She finds a cloth and removed it calmly to expose a sky blue sphere about the size of a large hand.
She extends her hands to anyone willing to take it.

"Take the path north, and onto the large bridge that comes, it will place you at the center of it all, and in the vortex, and your fate and path forward will be decided. Be prepared. You will need every ounce of energy and luck..."



Orb of Indisputable Gravity

Spoiler text: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)

+2 orb, Implement, +2 Attack/Damage, crit +1d6
Daily power:
Minor action - Until end of next turn, any attack that hits a flying target within 10 squares, forces the target to gently fall 10 squares - if reaching the ground, it is PRONE but take no damage from the fall.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Grock is relieved as the woman seems to be on their side. The orb is definitely a good thing to have. They just need to be careful that the dragon didn’t figure out what they were going to do with it. The directions and indication of what lay ahead helped a lot. He waited for the bars to accept the orb.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Jhaartael took the orb, curiously examining it. "Crash the dragon. A clever bypass of the dragon, permitting us to fight only one force rather than two. Thank you. Unless my partner has something they wish to add, we should probably go. That dragon isn't going to send itself through the portal, after all."

He had no formal skill with orbs, but he didn't need his off hand in combat for anything except comfort and ease.

"I can be silent. It would probably surprise you what I can at least plausibly try." When he was away from the hermit, Jhaartael offered an idea. "So, are any of you actually capable of channeling your magic through this orb? I admit freely that I cannot, although I am, thanks to my hybrid training with a sword, able to fake doing so against those who do not understand the arcane. I'm just making sure this is not better off with one of you."

Re: Sea of Shadows

As you follow the stone bridges, it takes you to the Shadow Vortex in the middle of the Sea of Shadows.
The shadow vortex is a big maelstrom created by a small opening in the rift to the shadowfell that sometimes opens and sometimes closes, but always creating a rotating water vortex inside the cavern.
As you come closer, but out of sight still, you see something extraordinary!
You must be right at the middle of the large cavernous and shadow-filled lake.
In front of you the different stone bridges merges like the center of a spider’s web. A large circular system of bridges is formed around the surrounding stalagmites and stalactites. Around the circle and the surrounding bridges stand hundreds of bronze wardens, all transfixed and chanting with metallic voices in a Song of Breaking. Within this circle you see a big vortex of water and shadows spinning like a mad dance of wraiths, and above it all hangs six human figures transfixed in the air, hovering like puppets with ghastly shadows hovering around them – their eyes embers of hate and with talons of ice.

The humming is ear-deafening almost. The dragon the witchlike woman spoke of is not in sight as you eye around into the piercing darkness. How to stop the ritual is the key before you, but how given the sheer numbers leaves alot to be questioned.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Ears flattening, Rynoth's pace slowed as they approached; the power flowing through the place was daunting, as were the sheer numbers arrayed against them. How were they to beat back all of this?

The mind behind the ritual was gone. That was one of the very few things that they had in their favor. The warders were simply following their last instructions and probably wouldn't turn from that task. That left the shadows and the dragon as the direct threats, although the warders appeared to be the only ones chanting the ritual.

This was on a scale far beyond the device in the laboratory, but if they really weren't under any direction then perhaps...


Vulnerabilities in the ritual and/or the warders' "algorithms"?

Re: Sea of Shadows

Grock took in the massive sight with awe. The thought of how to break the ritual went through his mind. “There is a nice way to end it and a mean way to end it I think. We can annihilate all the enemies first saving the men trapped or we kill the men which are the focus of the ritual. There seems to be specters floating up there that may attack when the fun starts. Should I try to sneak around along the wall to the other side to draw them away for you to go after the Wardens?”

Re: Sea of Shadows

"Breathtaking. Nightmares have a beauty of their own, do they not?"

Jhaartael glanced to Grock and back to the scene in front of him, shaking his reverie. "The world is filled with hard men who make hard choices. Most of them are the reason the world is in need of repairs. I also don't like telling those stories, so I have a bias in our decision making process in a vacuum."

He smiled as a looked down. "Quite the intimidating horde, isn't it? And that's not even counting the dragon. Swing north. That should force them to attack us in waves, instead of mustering their numbers all at once. We just need to kill enough of them to get the dragon in range. And remember, we need it to hit the portal. Hopefully, the dragon's end will demoralize the undead. They do not feel fear as we understand it, but they do have a sense of self-preservation and will likely retreat. Or if the dragon is controlling them, they will go wild and all seek to scatter, to escape their former master before they return and reestablish control. The outcome is the same."

"It's not a good plan, but it is the best I have on short notice."

Re: Sea of Shadows

@Rynoth:
The warders are familiar. Constructs, mindless and controlled by magic orders. Simple ones. What they are exactly is hard to say, but from previous experiences it is most likely - Defend if attacked, defend a certain thing or person or area. Nothing more than that. You could stand before one and if its protocol is not broken it is but an ornate statue.
Further, while enabled, they are dormant and just not active and you sense that easily.
They do not strike you as anything to concern yourself about...for now. The bronze wardens are all absorbed in the chanting, and its this sign that sparks hope, that they will not engage at all for now. Assume you leave them be.

Vulnerabilities: Immune charm, fear, poison; Resist 5 all


You all realize this.
The binders control a mage, and to free a mage, the bond or lock has to be broken via the binders. The real threat, the element of chaos, is the dragon. The threat in question as it is not bound nor controlled by anything, and hovering high above in the darkness it can swoop in anytime.


In regards to MAP: https://docs.google.com/drawin...Y6wdaYoFbJU6VCQ/edit
The S is binders, the M is a mage. D for dragon.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Jhaartael wasn't sure if they could swiftly and quietly take down a target and then go with none the wiser, but he was game for trying. At worst, they'd get stuck in, and that would be no different from a frontal attack in the end.

He did his best at keeping a low profile, and followed.

"Drink up first." Rynoth's words were low, the better to keep them to just the group, and he made good on them, quaffing one of the Gravespawn potions before starting forward. The taste was foul but, as he added with a grimace, "No better time."

Re: Sea of Shadows

"One at a time," Rynoth agreed. The first strike came a moment later as he hurled a charged bolt at the nearest shadow and warded Khalid with vital essence, but it didn't end there. The charge didn't just afflict the shadow; it cascaded into the shadow's binding, and Rynoth took full advantage of that disruption to further stretch the binding until it snapped.


Minor: Resistive Formula on Khalid: Khalid gains a +1 power bonus to AC until the end of the encounter. Khalid can end the bonus as a free action to gain temporary hit points equal to his healing surge value + 3.
Move: Shift to B13.
Std: Magic Weapon vs Binder F13 hits for 9 damage (4 if it is incorporeal). Grock, Jhartael, Khalid, and Nezumi gain a +1 power bonus to attacks and a +3 power bonus to damage rolls until Rynoth's EONT.
AP: Arcane Unraveling on Mage F14 success.

06:35, Today: Rynoth rolled 27,9 using d20+14,d4+6.
06:39, Today: Rynoth rolled 31 using 1d20+15.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Rynoth locks in mentally and with a sharpness to it, he finds a hole in the defense and disrupt it enough to break the domination of the closest mage!
He gasps and falls to the ground and the binder turns, discovering the group!

Re: Sea of Shadows

Initiative: 13

"Farewell, subtlety." Jhaartael smiled, tipping his head to the side. "Hello, glory."

Normal rounds - initiative(roll if you have not).. Dragon remains out of sight.

Re: Sea of Shadows

"One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four. Edraith Padadna!" From Jhaartael's humming blade came a pulse of energy that shot Grock to a chokepoint, and another ripple through the air come firing towards one of the binders, crashing into their form to no effect. "Tougher looking than I thought. No matter. The performance shall be a slow one."

Move: Move Grock to D12 using Moment of Escape.
Minor: None yet.
Standard: 02:51, Today: Jhaartael rolled 16 using 1d20+9.  Impelling Force vs Fort.
Was targeting F13 with that, but even with the +1 power bonus from Rynoth, that's a miss.

This is going to be a fight with a lot of misses from me, I think. Their NADs are no joke.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Khalid strides onto the platform, weaving an arcane symbol with Breath of the Prophet as he does so. The shadow creature's form seems pulled in the direction of the swordmage, as if by invisible claws.


Double move: Walk to D13.
Minor: Aegis of assault on F13.

Re: Sea of Shadows

It dawns on the group that the binding ritual and the shadowy Binders themselves ignore damage, bleeding and any pain in the state they are in, as immobile pillars for the time being. They do not act nor appear hostile and are forcefully binding the mages to the field as part of the ritual.

Suddenly, a large shadowy cloud appears and blinds those within(see map), followed by heavy thudding sounds. In the distance, another area vanishes in heavy darkness and the sound goes towards it. You are still blind to what happens.

OOC: The black squares with white trims are globe of darkness's and cause blind as long as you are within.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Nezumi's form grows and changes as she charges out of the darkness towards her target. Her blade reforming just as she swings it at the unmoving Binder even as her ears and tail have yet to return from their mouse-like forms.

Move: C11 to C10
Minor: Return to Human form
Standard: Unraveling Strike 32 vs AC 26, hit for 14 phys, 7 cold, and inflicting Vuln 3 Cold until EoNT on the Binder at C9

Re: Sea of Shadows

The cloud of darkness was a bit of a problem. Rynoth found his way through it and turned his attention northward, trusting the others to handle the nearby shadow binder while he assisted Nezumi with the other. A ward upon her, and a charge hurled at the binder, produced quite a flash and a bang - and a fresh opportunity for the former against the latter.

Now, if the dragon would do them the courtesy of staying out of it for a little while longer...


Minor: Resistive Formula on Nezumi. Nezumi gains a +1 power bonus to AC until the end of the encounter. Nezumi can end the bonus as a free action to gain temporary hit points equal to her healing surge value + 3.
Move: Walk to E12.
Std: Smokepowder Detonation vs Binder C9 hits for 15 fire damage and ongoing 5 fire damage (save ends).
Free: Nezumi makes a melee basic attack vs Binder C9.
  Probably doesn't hit: AC 21 for 17 damage and 10 cold damage.

14:38, Today: Rynoth rolled 27,15 using d20+11,2d8+7.
16:11, Today: Rynoth rolled 21,17 using d20+16,2d4+10.


OOC: The black squares with white trims are globe of darkness's and cause blind as long as you are within.

Re: Sea of Shadows

As the mage breaks free, it fires a bolt of sheer energy at the foe before it.
Pushing it back, he is able to breath, but the foe is ever attentive to the mage and focuses on reclaiming power over him.

A dark ray of energy hits the mage - whom is stuck again, unable to move. However the mage via unnatural sources resists! And is able to withstand the sway of the foe!

Effects: Mage hits binder for 10 damage, binder hits mage for 20 damage, and traps him again.

OOC: The black squares with white trims are globe of darkness's and cause blind as long as you are within.

Re: Sea of Shadows

EDIT: added crit damage dice for the binder and the attack roll for the mage

Nezumi's whiffed attack continues to swing around in a full circle gathering the snow white elemental energies of ice before shattering on the shadow binder. The ice swirls around in the air for a moment gathering the golden elemental energies of light before coalescing on Nezumi as a suit of armor while she begins to slowly circle her prey. Just as it seems she's done with her assault for the moment she suddenly thrusts once more. As her final thrust misses she inhales deeply, consuming the ward Rynoth placed upon her.

Standard: Armor of Winter's Grasp; Crit vs Fort; 33 Cold damage (after vuln), and Slowed save ends; Nezumi gains +2 Power to AC and Fort until EoE
12 vs Fort of Mage for 21 cold and slow save ends if it somehow hit, 10 cold if it missed
Minor: Emerald Shield; Until EoE Nezumi gains +2 Shield to AC and Ref and can use Emerald Shield reaction at-will.
Move: Shift C10 to B10
AP: Unraveling Strike; 21 vs AC; dammit no Fire Vuln
Free: End Res Form to gain 17 THP

OOC: The black squares with white trims are globe of darkness's and cause blind as long as you are within.

Re: Sea of Shadows

"Through the darkness, I journeyed. The darkness and my instincts to flee at war with one another." Jhaartael walked through the field of darkness and managed his way out right behind Nezumi. He pointed his blade to the binder. "You! Foeg galu! You who embrace the lies of darkness, now endure its truth!"

Move: To B11, hopefully out of the Dark Ball.
Minor: None taken
Standard: 06:17, Today: Jhaartael rolled 24 using 1d20+9.  Unluck vs Reflex at Binder on C9.
The damage is irrelevant. I cannot deal enough Necrotic damage (1d8+6) to punch through that resistance...
...but I wasn't aiming for damage.
For the secondary effect, if the binder rolls a d20 before the end of my next turn, I can roll a d20 and choose to replace their roll with mine.
As for the tertiary effect, I choose Nezumi. If she attacks that target again before the end of my next turn, I can roll a d20 and choose to replace her roll with mine.

Re: Sea of Shadows

The darkness enveloped Grock. He couldn’t see a thing, but he had experience fighting below deck on a slave ship with nothing but your chains to fight with. The half Orc swung his chains in a circle around him surely hitting the specter.

09:51, Today: Grock rolled 16 using 1d8+14.  Five storms damage.
09:50, Today: Grock rolled 28 using 1d20+13.  Five Storms attack.

Standard: Five Storms attack which is a close burst, so don’t need to see him to attack. Hit for 16 damage

Re: Sea of Shadows

Khalid adopts a determined expression and wades into the darkness. The glow from the blade of Prophet's Breath is doused, but the hum is still audible, replaced for a moment by a crack as it channels a spell though to no other clear effect.
Move: Walk to what might be next to the marked binder.
Standard: 22:13, Today: Khalid ibn Faizal rolled 20 using 1d20+9.  Sword burst +9 vs. Reflex 24 of binder. (It's a burst, so concealment doesn't penalize it.) Miss.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Rynoth retaliated against the shadow binder with a lightning-strike, warding the mage against some of the harm even as the sparks tore at the wraith-alike's form.

He wasn't done: while the general darkness and distractions made it difficult to discern just what it was that he might have released when he raised and thrust his hand out over the water as if casting something in the air there, the effect was felt almost immediately. Felt, and seen - though perhaps not-unseen would be a better term. It was disconcerting, perhaps, but not in a bad way... at least not to the company. The shadow binders - and anything else nearby - clearly felt it rather differently.


Immediate Interrupt (when the shadow binder hits the mage) Shocking Feedback w/Heroic Effort vs shadow binder hits for 12 lightning damage and the mage gains Resist 5 All until Rynoth's EONT. (Mage only took 15 damage from the shadow binder's attack.)
 - This does not provoke an OA from the shadow binder since it happens on the shadow binder's turn.

Std: Punishing Eye at E11.
 - This does provoke an OA from the shadow binder but Khalid's mark will affect the attack and Khalid's aegis of assault will trigger if the OA is taken. Also necrotic resistance, if applicable.
Move: None.
Minor: None.


Punishing Eye: You conjure an eye in a square within range. It lasts until the end of the encounter. Enemies within 3 squares of the eye do not benefit from concealment, and when an ally attacks an enemy within 3 squares of the eye and hits, that enemy takes 4 psychic damage. You can move the eye 3 squares as a move action.

Re: Sea of Shadows

You notice a roar above you.
Suddenly the shadows above you take form. From a gigantic stalactite in the roof a creature of nightmares releases its hold and comes diving down towards you on wings of gloom. A dragon of shadows and darkness unfolds above you, its eyes afire, and with bared talons of black ice. Its screech echoes across the cavern and freezes your hearts to ice, as if it had been the very horn of the ferryman of Styx.

Piercing down, it rains a gust of sheer cold that spreads before you, chilling you to the core. Yet, somehow the frosty breath, lay over you, inflicting little effect.
10 damage to Grock, Khalid and Rynoth(5 damage only due to resist).
The dragon remains in the air, closeby.

As before the binders remain in a trance, focused on their ritual and binding the captive mages.

Nezumi shouts as she takes advantage of the opening his attack left in the Binder's defenses to strike a grievous wound and freeze whatever sorry excuse it had for blood. The very elemental ice that empowers her attack keeping the binder's innards from becoming outards.

Standard: Unraveling Strike on C9 using the nat 20 from Jhaartael's Unluck to auto crit for 21 phys damage and 20 cold damage and 4 psychic damage from Rynoth's Punishing Eye.

Re: Sea of Shadows

"Cruelty begets cruelty, dragon." Jhaartael's orb pulsed with a demanding energy as he activated the magic within it, and he pointed his singing sword at the dragon, a high tone coming from the blade. His face was legitimately pained as he engaged in what he saw as a nasty business, and the awe in his voice was not a lie. "Know that downing a creature as majestic as you hurts me as well. Horne!"

Minor: Activating Orb of Indisputable Gravity.
Standard: 06:07, Today: Jhaartael rolled 26 using 1d20+9.  Compulsion vs Shadow Dragon.
06:13, Today: Jhaartael rolled 13 using 2d8+6.  Compulsion vs Shadow Dragon.
26 vs Shadow Dragon's Will.
13 Psychic damage total.
The dragon should crash into the water upon the spell hitting their mind, taking no damage fortunately for them, but being prone.


His voice turned to ice as he watch the dragon crash into the dark waters, knowing what his next command was an honest attempt at. "You wish to help drown the world in darkness? Go, and learn what it is to drown in darkness." He flicked his hand away and pointed his sword to the center of the lake.

At the beginning of the dragon's turn, I wish to slide it six squares to the center of the water and down into it below the surface, if possible. Bear in mind, that dragon is absolutely going to save out of this before it anticlimatically drowns, and it is probably going to be furious at me when it gets out of that water. But this should buy us a turn or two of not being bothered by it. I don't know if prone is going to mean anything while it is being pushed down through the water, but it has that condition in theory until it takes a Move Action to deal with that, too, which it cannot do until it saves first. Probably represents it trying to get its bearings.

Re: Sea of Shadows

As Jhaarteal rose the orb in the air, the dragon turned in anger, as if recognizing it.
Flying up, wings bashing heavily in the air, it struck above you as the orb hits it mind.
Heavily, its body gave out and begun soaring to the ground, and the middle of the pool where Jhaartael stood.
A sudden roar beneath his feet concerned him however - a maelstrom began to firm and swirl, creating a pitch black, shimmering hole in the middle of the pool. The dragon fell towards it, as the orb glowed strong - and in a heavy thud, pierced into the vortex and vanished with a gush of water flowing up, but more curiously the vortex vanished. The thud caused a wave to hit Jhaartael heavily and throw him back to the ground and the water, causing his skin to chill fully.
The cold is immense and overpowering!
(Please roll DC 20 Endurance check or suffer from Hypothermia!)

With the dragon dragged beyond vision, through the vortex to the shadowfell, a risk lesser appears before you. The rift, the one partially opened, is before you - but still not exposed nor a risk.

As the dragon pierces and its dominance and presence vanishes, the bond begins to fizzle - the binders start to loose powers and the mages, immense users of magic and prowess overpower and begin to vanquish their capturers.
With roaring fire and forceful energy the binders and thrusted through the vortex and the rift into the shadowfell and anguish - a calm befalls you.
Small shimmers of light appear around you, like stars in the night.
The mages partially collapse from strain.

The room is silent, and the water still around you, apart from a small army of inanimated bronze warders that stare, cold and lifeless, out in the distance.
The rift closed, the vortex draining, it seems that for now the shadowfell is concealed and closed and leaving no risk for anyone...aside the watcher in the tower who aided you here.


Some time passes and one of the mages, rises, worn and wounded, but clear enough to beckon you over.
"Thank you...eternally grateful. We should make haste back to the halls. We can take you there with us, and perhaps safely here, thank you properly for all you have done. Will you accept?"
-----
If there are no objections, the group will use the portal provided by the mages to venture back to the Seven Pillared halls - determining next options and whether the fabled Pyramid of Shadows you learned off, is the next objective in mind.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Jhaartael was stunned. He had not expected that to go that well. He actually needed to catch himself and stop himself from stumbling off the bridge out of shock - it was only the icy cold shock of the water that focused him back to his senses and the need to live life right now.

"Yes. Of course." He noticed Nezumi on his shoulder, and stood straight up, like he had planned for all of this, and focused his gaze back on the dark waters. "Revar aul-Adon, creature of darkness. May the world breathe a sigh of relief with your absence."

"I am ready to leave if the rest of you are."

Re: Sea of Shadows

Rynoth dropped low to better brace himself against the oncoming wave, and he stayed down for some moments even after it had passed just in case anything followed it. Only once the quiescence was certain did he rise and move to cautiously look out over the abyss beneath to briefly study the lingering energies there.

Then he stepped back and added his assent to the mages' suggestion. "Yes, let's away. We don't have the means to seal it fully just yet."

Re: Sea of Shadows

As you traverse through the created portal, you land heavily within a marbled and circular room, with tall pillars, and adorned drapings and offices and books everywhere.
You recall the place, and the dourfaced darkhaired man that appears - Orontor.
His smile and joy to see his brethren is extensive and his presence is strong towards them.
Banter traverse back and forth and many are taken further in to recover or be patched up.

Orontor turned and bowed his head.
"Thank you is a humble, and barely fitting set of words here. You have done great good and we can not show enough appreciation. However I must press a topic. Paldemar, his actions and next steps...is he gone for good...is there more threats?"
Regardless of the words, Orontor ensures to point you towards a room you have seen before, holding many wonderous artifacts and trinkets!

------
You all level up!
You get one parcel aka. a free magical item. This item can be of NEW level +1.
You can exchange and shift any artifact around to fit what you desire to have in terms of loadout.
You can shift class if you desire, but do PM me further on this if needed.
You do not need to make a great deal out of what you exchange and setup etc - I entrust you to do so as per rules and desire not to micromanagement.
A last request - a rollcall if you would - please provide a short update here, and state if you are keen to journey on as we are advancing into the H3 module - Pyramid of Shadows.
I ask since otherwise this is a key spot to get fresh blood. Please advise in honesty!

Re: Sea of Shadows

Gathering, Orontor stops before continuing.
"You." he points at Rynoth.
"You carry an item, which is likely not attuned to you but carry strings of allure to Paldemar and the order he is part of, aligned with the horrid lord of anguish - Orcus himself. I ask you, without anger, to hand it over, or better yet, follow. We must bind it, and learn how to dispose of it."

He points to a back room, circular and dark, and asks the large ogre bodyguard Bragg to stand watch.

Inside there is sparsely lit light.
In the middle, a metal circular object lay circled by candles and deep white dust.
You are tasked to place the rod in the middle, and as you do sense how the rod claws as your skin and mind as you expose it to the world and try to remove it.
A voice beckons out in your head.
"Mortals..none deserve power nor life!"
The rod eminates as you try to place, and you feel unwell!
(Roll a DC 15 endurance check!)

With a thud, the rod hits the circular pan, and cloaked mages appear, humming and chanting. You sense a strong presence of magic.
DC 18 arcana to understand, DC 25 to partake.

You see and feel a strong presence of magic...but also how the room is almost alive, the wall dripping with a liquid you can not make out, as if something was watching or trying to grasps you or the room in fully....


OOC: Anyone can go in, or stay close and watch. Rynoth is FORCED in however.

Re: Sea of Shadows

Rynoth grimly held firm against the rod's insidious influence. It was powerful, but not powerful enough, and he wasn't about to be deterred by it in any case: disposing of the thing was why he'd come here in the first place, and if the rod or its master were raging against the spell, it meant that the spell was working.

Re: Sea of Shadows

As you chant along, it becomes obvious to all that the rite and ritual being performed is a high level banishment. In acknowledgement of what is within, or the power rather - the rod has to be bound and secured, and then what ever within has to be released.

Slowly, within sometime, the rod begins to crack and light up as if made of fiery iron, one crack appearing after another.
Suddenly, and without warning, a loud crack is hear, like a thousand claps of thunder rolling over you at once, and a numbing red light, like a firestorm emblazes the room.
The heat is almost unbearable, but you sense uneasiness as well.
The walls become a carpet of fire and the ground appears to crack.
In the crack, you see light, and within it, deep down, easily 25 feet large, you notice a figure, or at least an avatar of it.
It has strong bestial features: the horned, desiccated head of a ram, thick-furred legs and cloven hooves of a goat, massive, black wings of a bat, a great maw filled with tusks, and a long, thick, constantly moving tail, poison-tipped and covered in spines.

Whether an illusion, headtrick or manipulation is hard to say, but the image is that of the Lord of the Undead - Orcus.
In a rushed action, a large red hand appears just before you, grasping the cracked rod and yells so the walls almost crumble.
"I will find you...and exact my revenge...you will perish by might!!!"
The crack remains, but the light, and fire on the walls, slowly vanishes and you feel drained, numb, and confused, as the room grows dark again, as dramatically as it appeared.

A powerful enemy has you in sight...

You eyed about, wondering what to do next..

Re: Sea of Shadows

Rynoth stared at the spot where the manifestation had briefly appeared, a slowly clouding his features, before he finally uttered a low and unusually hard-sounding, "Like you and yours ever intend anything else," toward that same empty space, his lips briefly peeling back in tandem with the sharp finality of the declaration.

He regained his composure over the span of a breath steadily taken, and, rather more calmly, looked around at the assembled mages. Whatever the demon lord's threats, they'd collectively made rid of the artifact, and coming on the heels of Paldemar's defeat and the closing of the Shadowfell rift, was quite a capstone. Thunderspire still had plenty of problems, and the mages themselves undoubtedly needed time to fully recover from their experience, but... the situation was finally on the mend.

He and the others could do with a bit of respite, but it was less clear what would follow. There'd been some suggestion of following up on Paldemar's writings about the pyramid, but he wasn't entirely convinced that it was wise to chase the phantoms of a mad cultist's mind; even if the place was real, there was no guarantee that it was what Paldemar thought - or that what Paldemar thought was worth seeking was anything that they wanted to pursue...
