As though the question had been a signal the swarm redoubles in size until you cannot see through it, only a dense cloud of black that descends upon the lot of you like a wave... or try to at least. With a wave of your hand you fill air with fire, and the swarms dies with nothing but a faint hissing sound.

"Do we try to clean this up?" Lya asks, looking around, obviously worried that some ancient arcane treasure that had survived the march of years would be consumed by this blight moments before it could be recovered.

Please no @DragonParadox. There is too much to loot for us to lose it now.

Been poking around looking for interesting spells and found this one again; Mordenkainen's Capable Caravel.

Now this is how you do ocean-going exploration in style. A high level adventuring group has other methods of travel, of course, but if you're new to a place (or a Plane), you could get a lot of use out of this spell.

We're having Lya learn that spell. It's on the Wish List now.

Not to worry, dude. We're cleaning this stuff up and Dany will be running Detect Secret Doors to make sure we don't miss anything hidden.

No loot left behind!

I bet Anu the Warforged will be very interested in the enchanted clockwork heart of the city once it's cleared out.

I honestly don't think the upper levels are worth it.
In the time it takes us to "methodically sweep" through them, whatever is beneath will be in greater danger :O
And unlike the above, the lower levels haven't been looted or even looked at.

Please let's just go down right now.
Corruption needs to be culled at it's core.

Yeah @Goldfish, I'm of the same mind here. The upper levels are explicitly already looted. We shouldn't be wasting time here, we should rush to confront whatever is causing it and saving what loot we can.

The upper levels were looted by low level adventurers, which means they could have missed all sorts of stuff. Vee's Janni scouts already reported that there are hidden doors the slime has failed to penetrate, which haven't been opened yet.

I wanted to clear and loot them methodically, in part because it seemed really important to Vrath. It's basically the homeland of many of the surviving Serpent Folk.

If ya'll want, we can skip clearing the upper levels for now, but I have no intentions of leaving this place until it has been thoroughly scourged of weird slime and professionally looted.
 
"The last time I was in Sothoryos, I purged it with fire..."

"And? This time?"

"It got worse."

"So what did we learn?"

"Apply more fire."

@Goldfish, the Upper Levels were looted by Riz'Neth who made sure to take everything with him when he packed his people up and moved them to Snakeport. There's nothing left to find up here.

I'm all for clearing the Upper Levels for the sake of Vrath, but I'd like to do it after the loot of the Lower Levels is secured. There's no strategic reason to start with the Upper Levels first when we've been warned we're on the clock.
 
Found another useful spell I've overlooked mostly due to the name; Firebrand. It's a 7th level PF spell that is in no way related to the 5th level D&D spell Viserys has used to such great effect.

Being able to make some of our allies completely immune to our fire spells, even Searing fire spells, could be really useful in a number of situations. We would need a new name for it, though.
 
Okay, plan updated to head directly to the last group's stopping point.

[X] Plan Dungeon Delve!
-[X] Viserys tests the efficacy of magical flame on the slime by using his Fiery Burst ability to attempt to burn away a patch of it. If it is successful, Vee will use a 6th level spell slot to Summon 1d4+2 Large Fire Elementals (30 round duration) and set them to burning away the heavier concentrations of slime while we proceed directly to the location where Valaena's group was forced to stop.
--[X] Before moving further into the Necropolis;
---[X] Viserys casts Greensight, Mirror Image and False Life.
---[X] Dany will cast Greater Magic Fang on Viserys, then cast Detect Secret Doors.
---[X] Malarys will cast Defending Bone, Battlemagic Perception, and Magic Circle Against Chaos.
---[X] Everyone (except Richard) will cast Divine Insight, either from a spell slot, prepared spell, or using a Page of Spell Knowledge.
---[X] Lya casts Life Bubble, Mass Aid, and Mass Resist Energy(Acid) and Mass Resist Energ(Cold) on everyone, then Mirror Image and False Life.
---[X] Vee will cast Invisibility Purge, Mass Resist Energy(Fire), and Mass Resist Energy(Electricity) on everyone, plus True Seeing on herself and Viserys.
---[X] Varys activates her Tailring, Belt, and Ring of Venomfire, along with the Cloud Wings power from her Anklets, becoming Super Varys, Ninja-Assassin Queen of the Pseudodragons. She will keep a lookout using her Telepathic Mindsight to warn us if she detects any non-mindless creatures in the Necropolis.
-[X] Before we head further into the Necropolis, Viserys uses the set of Titan's Tools borrowed from the Golden Fields road project to place a stone wall blocking the entrance to the structure. It will be six feet thick and composed of crystal clear quartz.

Do ya'll think Varys would like her own MirrorVision children's program? I can see it now; her day job is to serve as the mild-mannered Familiar to the Dragon King of Sorcerer's Deep, but when her duty calls, she transforms into Super Varys, Queen of the Pseudodragons, where she fights evil alongside her own crew of plucky child adventurers. There would be guest appearances from other lovable characters, such as Quickfingers the Little Valyrian Rogue and Aebys, himself the Familiar of Lya the Sage, but also a secret Inquisition agent in charge of the Calligraphy Wyrm Corps, a hidden cabal of Calligraphy Wyrms dedicated to protecting the Imperial Bureaucracy from poor grammar, bad spelling, and improperly formated ledger sheets.

Damn, this shit practically writes itself.
 
BTW, @DragonParadox, I found a way to preserve formatting for character sheets and other stuff. If you highlight it all on a page, then use the quote feature, you can pull everything highlighted over, colors, formats, etc. It even copied over things in spoiler boxes. Here's Viserys' character sheet I used as a test.

EDIT: The only problem is that doing it this way strips the spoiler boxes away.

The wearer becomes cognizant of all spellcasting that occurs within 60 feet, and she can identify the spell being cast (even if she can't see its casting or effect) on a successful Spellcraft check (DC 15 + spell level).

If the wearer chooses an illegal target (an animal for a humanoid-affecting spell, for instance, or a point of effect outside the spell's range as measured from the original caster), the spell functions normally and the redirection is wasted. If the wearer ends up in the area of a retargeted spell, she experiences the effect of the spell as normal.

  4. +10 Competence bonus to Concentration, Knowledge (Arcana), and Spellcraft skill checks.

Serpent's Sin
  1. The Price of Greed: Whenever you are the target of a ranged or ranged touch attack, you may deflect the attack either towards a new target within 30ft or the original attacker. Resolve the attack as normal. If you are attacked with a melee weapon, and the resulting roll is at least as high as your Touch AC, you may make a Disarm attempt as if you had the Improved Disarm feat. On success, the offending weapon is instantly drawn into the cloak's interior. This ability effectively negates the attack, as the weapon sinks into the cloak's depths instead of flesh. These abilities are Free Actions to activate, don't provoke attacks of opportunity, and may only be used three times a day in total. The cloak is regarded as a +5 two handed weapon for disarming purposes.
  2. The wearer gains a +5 Enhancement Bonus to their Natural Armor.
  3. The wearer gains the benefits of Awaken Spell Resistance.
  4. The interior of the cloak acts as a Handy Haversack, but with a considerably larger storage capacity. While the weight of objects stored within the cloak is meaningless, its maximum volume cannot exceed 6,000 cubic feet, and no object larger than Huge-sized may be absorbed.
  5. Only the one responsible for the death of an Avatar of Mammon may utilize the Price of Greed ability. Those who do not meet such criteria and attempt to utilize the cloak's extradimensional pockets will have their belongings disintegrate inside 2d4+4 hours, unless the objects stored within are Artifacts or have a caster level greater than the cloak, at which point they are transported to a random spot in the Astral Plane after the said period of time.
Warding Robes of the Deep:
  1. You benefit from DR 10/Silver.
  2. 3/Day expend a spell slot to use a Summon Monster spell of the same level.
  3. You are protected by a Blur spell, granting a 20% miss chance on attacks made against you. It functions continually unless suppressed as a Standard Action. Another Standard Action restores the effect.

BTW, @DragonParadox, I found a way to preserve formatting for character sheets and other stuff. If you highlight it all on a page, then use the quote feature, you can pull everything highlighted over, colors, formats, etc. It even copied over things in spoiler boxes. Here's Viserys' character sheet I used as a test.

EDIT: The only problem is that doing it this way strips the spoiler boxes away.

Still better than nothing, the spoilers can be done separately.

Interlude DXIX: Shadow's Due
  • Threadmarks
    • Shadow's Due​

    Tenth Day of the Tenth Month 293 AC

    Three things a shadow learns if it is to survive—that a lie will always serve as a better weapon and truth a better shield, that light burns and darkness devours, and that it is always best to fall behind than surge ahead, if one wishes to grow. How many times the one that now called itself 'Tor' had learned those lessons, he could not say, nor could he say how many times he had forgotten. A thousand lives broken upon the wheel of fate under empty skies, where only the gaze of the master shone like baleful stars.

    Now he was free, more so than any other of his kindred had been through the long ages, and he held to that knowledge with jealous pride. Even in his freedom, however, the shadow-walker did not forget the might of his former master's lash. He saw the dead men rising from amid the frost-stained stones, erstwhile victims of the dark guide the girl had slain, now made so much more. Pale ice enrobed feeble mortal bone, while deathless purpose was breathed into their once broken forms as they lurched towards their prey.


    Were this another time or another place, he might have set back to watch, but his task here was of an performer in the dance of destruction, no mere spectator. If all three creatures spilled their deadly breath upon the mortals it would likely mean their ends, and Tor would be left in the unenviable position of fighting beings whose void-blessed eyes could not be blinded, nor their dead minds confounded. Thus, stolen starlight woven into silk shadow became bolts of radiance, and he cast them upon the nearest foe, meaning to distract it. Alas it would not be turned from the lure of warm flesh, even as its skull began to fracture.

    As one the dead breathed, and a blizzard was born from their breath. The horse was screaming in agony as it died, the knight pinned beneath it. He still lived, thankfully. Tor did not fancy having to carry his corps, though with the way the fight was going he might perhaps have to carry two. Heedless of her own peril, the mind mage charged amid the dead, her fingers once more alight with flame, immolating one of the frost-kissed.

    She was beginning to shake from the cold. Tor doubted she could deliver another such torrent of flame. Into the dark he whispered. "Sister shadow hold him tight, he is yours and you are his."

    Though one was bound, the other cold one managed to slay the girl's horse by frozen claws and vicious strength. Its death sent her tumbling from the saddle, and from the sounds of it, breaking a limb in the fall. Again he bound it in place with shadow-stuff. Granted that did not keep it from striking at the girl, but she could take a blow or two, and it might even teach her, as words could not, the folly of charging ahead with nary a plan.

    The flames that licked at the foe were feeble, but enough when one counted Tor's own bolts of arcane fire to end the thing. Finally, he turned to the first to be snared to end its unseemly struggling.


    OOC: This was not easy to write, but I like the way it came out, showing Tor's alien perspective on the plight of his companions and the way he finds beauty in things mortals would deem frightening and revolting like wights. Anyway one more good fight and Jeyne levels, though Roger will probably need two.

    • Heads up to everyone that with the forum changes editing the Larder is unfeasible for me.

    Fortunately, I happen to have made backups of everything important days before the forum change, so it won't be that hard for me to simply make my own Google Sheets page, complete with programming to automatically calculate HD.

    I'll link it for everyone when it's done.

    Shadow Tor's POV was great.
