Swimming away from the sharks, they chase him upward...

OOC: Strength check, with proficiency

Vrakrash swims up and up, but one of the Sharks bites deep into his leg. He feels the bone crack and the lower leg come clean off.

OOC: 14HP lost

The blood begins to draw other Sharks.

OOC: CON check to keep it together. If passed Strength check again, if failed also Strength check, but at disadvantage

The beholder emits a beam from his eyes at the Sarrics and they rise. They wander over to Sarric Prime and look at him.

OOC: Personalities are two crudes and one dumb

"You going to do us?" one asks laughing.

"That's right. Now come along." Sarric thanks and waves to the beholder, and follows after the others.

"Cool" a second one mutters.

"Now cum...huhuhuh" the other replies.

They follow Sarric down the tunnel.

If she can't get by without being mired in the ooze, she takes out Tardins Vibrator and tries to collapse it that way.

The blue runes glow and the sap parts.

The runes then coalesce into the symbol of an axe.

The Sarrics arrive behind Retula.

"Send him this" Iuric holds up the azure potion.

Fourier · 03-09-2018 10:05PM

Vrakrash goes into panic and starts flailing wildly, he swims up and up, his vision blurring. Suddenly the oceans shimmer and he drops onto dry stone. Before he passes out, he feels his pack lighten a bit and an azure potion appear in his hands.

Rolling his head back, the last thing he sees before losing consciousness is Mags standing over him.

Fourier · 03-09-2018 10:06PM

Karinth arrives behind Retula and places a hand on her shoulder.

"What is that thing?" he points to Tardin's runic wand.

"Never mind, we are close now. I want to know...how good is your Vivimancy?"

"This? It's like a religious sex toy I think. Figured it might work with all this lube.

I... Uh... Wait how do I know you're *our* Karinth?"
She puts her hands behind her back.
" How many fingers am I holding up?"

The sandmen begin to play to destructively interfere with Mags's tune and play right into his trap, for the tune the play is the exact vibrations of the magical weave which manifest as the spell that cancels the summoning spell that gives them form.

They disintegrate and the locks release from the door.

Mags thinks on the tune he has just played for a while, something about the way the weave responded interests him.

OOC: Free extra cantrip, great solution!

OOC: New cantrip of Minor Illusions.

Mags talks with the crystal tower.
"Well, that was fun. I thought I was going to have to dance them to death. Could you pass a message to the great snake on the ground floor for me please. Tell it that the door is open, the gaes is lifted and that I would appreciate if it could sent to me the promised new rapier to replace this cursed one that I have. Also that it needs some new guards up here.
"
He then pushes the doors open and looks into the room.
"Hellooooo?"

He then pushes the doors open and looks into the room.
"Hellooooo?"

Mags enters a circular room with a ceiling open to a beautiful blue sky. Twelve large stone columns line the room, each a polished marble of the colour of sand.

At about head height on each column there is gap in the stone.

As Mags walks in, writing etched on the floor in some forgotten tongue rearranges itself into an older form of Common.

'Place thine hand within the stones. Be thee worthy, then have the item, be thee not you may only look. However not all worth is good or on character based'

Next to four of the columns, (Numbers 2, 5, 9, 11) hooded figures appear, though their faces are visible. One is a dragon, two are elves and one is insectoid.

Mags walks straight over to the seventh pillar because chaos reigns and jabs his hand into the gap.

The stone of the pillar disolves and is replaced by an energy field. Within floats a slim book of no more than twenty or thirty pages. It's cover is a deep blue. Mags hears a cacophony coming off it, Joepaz begins to vibrate in response to the book, almost violently.

"Mags?" a female voice behind Mags inquires.

Mags, without taking his eyes off the book speaks back over his shoulder,
"Madam, please desist, I'm saving myself for marriage!"
Not wanting to see who or what has been conjured behind him just yet he quickly calms JoePaz. "What is it Joe, why are we doing pop music?"

Fourier · 04-09-2018 03:11PM

Mags feels a magical spell overcome him. His muscles weakening, the magical song of his cells gaining a discordant note.

OOC: CON check

Necro · 04-09-2018 03:13PM

OOC: You mean to tell me Vrakrash passed out in front of Mags and was ignored, missing half a leg and everything. I'm not mad, OG - just disappointed :pac:

OOC: Different timeline. You've not appeared to me yet. However, I'll probably ignore you anyway - just cos.

Fourier · 04-09-2018 03:26PM

Mags goes to his knees weakening, then he begins to hum an old orcish tune, almost unconsciously. His determination rising, he hums the tune as he regains his strength. His absolute conviction causing the song to reverberate right down to his cells. As he steadies himself, he turns and sees Sora behind him.

"Impossible...it...the spell...you should be unable to move...what are you?" her mouth is open in fear.

Mags continues humming the tune, the weave warping about him.

OOC: Next attack, if you wish, has double damage.

"Sora! We've never even spoken and now you backstab me. I can tell you this, you'll not be getting greenroom tickets".
Mags draws the cursed rapier and thrusts at her throat.

Mags draws the cursed rapier and thrusts at her throat.

Sora is too stunned to react as the rapier pierces her throat. She releases a quick spell to dematerialise. This sets her free, but the damage is already done. She staggers backward blood rushing from her throat as she prepares a spell.

Before the final hand signal of the spell is complete a huge broadsword comes down on her hand, cutting it off completely. Ser Boros stands over her, he grabs her by the neck and a plate fist smashes into her nose breaking it. He lifts her up by the neck and tosses her toward Mags, arm wound gushing, her face ruined.

Ser Boros approaches Mags.

"Who shall finish her?"

He offers Mags the sword.

Gurgled words escape her mouth, but are incomprehensible.

OldGoat · 04-09-2018 04:01PM

Mags lifts the creature and shoves her head into the gap of column number 8.

The stones retract, Sora only manages a "...kingblom..." before the energy field protecting the treasure is initiated, cutting her head clean off, which is then disintegrated within the field.

The treasure itself is a small worm cocooned in a purple energy field.

"MAGS!!" Ser Boros shouts.

Vrakrash has appeared in the room severely wounded.

OldGoat · 04-09-2018 04:25PM

Mags pockets the worm and the book for later and closer examination as he issues to Ser Boros a "Thank you for your timely arrival and intercession sir".
He turns back to see...Vrak. Mags pulls out JoePaz and casts Healing Word on Vrak.
OOC: healing word at third level 3d4+3 : 9 point of healing

Fourier · 04-09-2018 04:33PM

When Mags attempts to pocket the treasures, the energy fields repel him. However on both occasions they shove him to pillar 12.

Vrakrash regains conciousness as Joepaz's waves course over him. He slowly opens his eyes.

"Are you alright dragon?" Ser Boros asks.

Vrakrash looks around the room, before down to his damaged leg.

'Thank you Mags. No song to bring back my leg, no?'

He looks at Ser Boros.

'I'll live, for now anyways. Glad to see you are ok, that ocean I fell into looked... tasking for someone in armour such as yours.'

He rummages in his pack and pulls out the azure potion.

'Iuric... but how? Thank you anyways, wherever you may be.'

He drains the potion.
