[X] Send the Xorn home, offer them some of our cheap basic supplies/goods for use or as a trade good, if we have anything useful to them and in return ask them to share their full knowledge of the denizens and hazards of this place before they leave forever (Mina offers Fortune if they make knowledge/intelligence checks). [The intention here this isn't to get detailed on-screen information next update, but for us players to have "according to the Xorn..." context for stuff in later updates, and to be able to provide that information to Eshe/Sylestrix in the future].

Edit: sorry for the long write in, just checking, does it parse clearly to you/is valid @DragonParadox?

Makes sense to me.

The demon, devil and daemon we summoned were left on the ship when Anippe dismissed herself to the Refuge yeah?

Not sure. This was the condition Oriel gave us for his cooperation.

"Three fer one!" Cob claps, getting a hesitant nod in response. And that is that.

I know time has passed since then and it's inconsequentual, but a deal is a deal.

So maybe Cob still has them.

Looking back at the chapter, although it wasn't clearly spelled out, I think it would be fair if it was assumed we dealt with the various problematic Summons before departing for Refuge. It would have been sloppy to just leave them on the ship when we were expecting to be gone for a while, and we definitely wouldn't have voted to do that.

If we didn't outright destroy them ourselves, we could have easily dropped them off at a friendly temple for disposal.
 
When, though? They were required for the ritual spell that had to be cast non-stop for several hours, and then we were off.

Not that it matters, though.

Well, we were rich before, but now we have a money printing machine. Every day, we can feed it 562.5 gold in reagents and get a scroll worth 1125 gold out of it. That's beautiful.

I expect it to fail eventually, of course, either through a lack of maintenance after thousands of years of neglect or the magic wearing out, but in the meantime, that doesn't mean we can't exploit it for our own gain. Rather than making money off of it, though, I would prefer to just pad our own scroll collection.

We should get a good amount of scrolls off of it, and consider renting it to the Pathfinder Society. In return for their keeping and using the "Scroll Scriber of the Redoute of Nex," we get a reasionable, small share of the profits of the sales of the scrolls it produces.

That's constant income, deposited in the Bank of Abadar to the Ghosts, and presumably their heirs, for as long as the mechanism functions. And, of course the Pathfinder Society can reverse engineer it, and should they recreate it while maintaining its functions, we're only owed for the scrolls it produces, on the condition that they keep it in production. If they break it, but make a functional reproduction, that counts as the original Scriber for the deal, maintaining our income. And if they break it without sucessfully reverse engineering it, the "you break it, you buy it" rule applies, and they owe us the full value of it as a magic item capable of producing high level scrolls, and what magical lore they discovered from it.

In return they can both equip Pathfinder teams with scrolls cheaply, and sell them for (slightly reduced) profit. It's a great deal for everyone, including the Church/Bank of Abadar/AbadarCorps, because they're the ones moving all this money around, and profiting off of it several times.

In short, the Ghosts and their heirs are owed a share of the profits of a single Scroll Scriber, which the Pathfinder Society can reverse engineer, and make more units of, as long as they keep one designated Auto Scribe in production, from which our percentage comes.

All the others have have their full profits go to the Society, giving them an additional stable income stream, besides the "Pathfinder Chronicles."

Selling books and magazines isn't the most profitable enterprise ever, and selling off treasures is an unstable buisness, nevermind the other costs incurred. Like discovering that the builders of the pyramid that a Pathfinder team just looted are undead, angry, and have declared war on Absolom, and now the Society is being charged for the finicial costs of that war. Or an elder dragon shows up, pissed as all hell because you killed her favorite grandlizard, looted his hoard, and are wearing his skin.

In the interest of moving the story forward we could probably decide what we want to do next.
  • We want a comprehensive map of this facility, who is where and occupies what part of it. The xorn told us some things, but they didn't know everything.
  • We want information on Nex as part of our deal with the xorn.
  • We want information on how to operate the bubbles in the foyer.
  • We want information on any comings and goings throughout the years, if there was anyone to keep it. First things first, is the demon still here? It's been like 10 to 30 minutes. Second, there have been rumors about people entering the Refuge, but never leaving. Why? What happened to them?
  • We want the egg. For that matter, we want information on the dragon. How does one take care of the egg? Why did Nex keep them?
  • We want to, potentially, clear the facility of hostile elements like metal slime, or undead ooze, or whatever is there that hasn't collapsed into dust after the lich died. We can do it ourselves, but why turn down free constructs?
  • We want those witchcrows out and their automatic scroll scriber for ourselves. Though I have plans to send our Cob&Sirim stealth ops to check on them.
  • We want the demon dead, obviously, though this isn't a priority.
  • We want to reward the piraticons for their service.
  • We want to know how the constructs replenish themselves, other than by scrapping everything that makes the Refuge, and stop further deterioration if at all possible.
  • And sure, we want to loot the place for everything it is worth.

We haven't figured out what happened to Nex, but have we even tried asking? It was an option before. Hopefully we do this as a part of the xorn option.

The mosters will likely remain; we've cleared most hostiles we know of, but the plane became home to a vast number of entities. Still, I'd like to talk to Mighty Mythic Mimic, at least.

I want to know how to operate the bubbles. Where can the Refuge deposit us? Can we use it as a trravel hub? How do we reenter the place?

Then, I guess, we are off to find an exorcist, the Hallow scroll (possibly both) and Sylestrix. If we are keeping the Refuge we might consider allying with the dwarves for the rare metals the Refuge needs to rebuild its army of servitors.

The Pathfinders would murder us and Eshe, and take guardianship of Anippe in a heartbeat to gain control of Refuge.

I would prefer not getting them involved at all. No reason to rent out the scroll scriber when we can just use it ourselves and sell the scrolls we don't decide to keep. Adding a middleman just introduces complications.

We don't need an exorcist. We just need Mina and Sirim to cast enough Purge Spirit spells on Eshe to destroy Bad Grandpa. @DragonParadox already confirmed it.
 
It's been an unusually slow day at work, so I was able to update everyone's character sheets sooner than I was expecting, @DragonParadox.

I think I've got everything included here, but doing this on my phone might have caused me to leave something out. I still need to update the resource and consumables pages as well.

Also, I overlooked that Warty gained a new feat this level. I slotted in Devotion Against the Unnatural for now. It seemed like a good choice to me, but we can go with something else if y'all want.

I didn't know everyone's XP totals, so I left those as ???. Kori's also needs to be updated from the Daemon fight.

Special Abilities:
  • Major Psionics (Sp): Cob can use the Mindlink power 4/day (Rogue level /2) at 8th level.
  • Spontaneous Psionics: Cob can use psionic Talents from the Cryptic power list at will, and 1st level powers 4/Day (Rogue level / 2).

  • Trapfinding: Cob adds 1/2 his level on Perception checks to locate traps and on Disable Device checks. He can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps.
  • Evasion (Ex): Cob can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he succeeds at a Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage.
  • Danger Sense (Ex): Cob gains a +2 bonus on Reflex saving throws to avoid traps and a +2 Dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps. He also gain a +2 Perception bonus on checks to avoid being surprised by a foe.
  • Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Cob can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He cannot be caught Flat-footed, nor does he lose his Dexterity bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible, and he cannot be Flanked except by a Rogue at least 4 levels higher than him. He still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. He can still lose his Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the Feint action against him.
  • Debilitating Injury (Ex): When Cob deals Sneak Attack damage to a foe, he can also debilitate the target of his attack for 1 round. These penalties do not stack with themselves, but additional attacks that deal Sneak Attack damage extend the duration by 1 round. A creature cannot suffer from more than one penalty from this ability at a time. If a new penalty is applied, the old penalty immediately ends.

    • Disoriented: The target takes a -2 penalty on Attack Rolls. When targeting Cob, the Attack Roll penalty is instead -4.

    • Dampening Strike: The target takes a -2 penalty on saving throws against psionics, spells, and spell-like abilities for 1 round. Against Cob's psionic powers, the penalty is instead -4.

  • Mythic Traits:
    • Hard to Kill (Ex): You automatically stabilize if reduced to 0 HP.
    • Surge (Su): You can expend one Mythic Power to add 1d6 to any 1d20 roll you make as a Free action.

This additional Standard Action can't be used to cast a spell. You can't gain an extra action in this way more than once per round.
    • Surprise Strike (Ex): As a Swift Action, you can expend one use of Mythic Power to make a melee attack or ranged attack against a target within 30 feet, in addition to any other attacks you make this round. When you make a Surprise Strike, the target is considered Flat-Footed regardless of any class features or abilities it might have, and you add +2 (Mythic tier) to the attack roll. Damage from this attack bypasses Damage Reduction.
  • Mythic Path Abilities:
    • Mythic Weapon Focus (Light Blades): As a Swift Action, you can expend one use of Mythic Power to gain a +1 bonus (Mythic tier / 2, rounded up) on attack rolls with light blades until the end of your turn.
    • Shadow Stealth (Ex): Whenever you're in darkness, you can move at full speed within that area without taking a penalty on Stealth checks. As a Move Action, you can expend one use of Mythic Power to teleport from one area of darkness to another within 100 feet as if using greater Greater Teleport. You must have line of effect to the destination.
    • Titan's Bane (Ex): You can move through the space of any creature two or more size categories larger than you without provoking Attacks of Opportunity, and you can share such a creature's space.

Skills: As Cob, but uses the Psicrystal's attribute modifiers.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
  • Personality (Ex): The psicrystal has a Resolved personality, granting it's master a +2 bonus on Will saving throws.
  • Alertness (Ex): The presence of a psicrystal sharpens its master's senses. While a psicrystal is within arm's reach (adjacent to or in the same square as its owner), its owner gains the Alertness feat.
  • Telepathic Speech (Ex): The psicrystal can communicate telepathically with any creature that has a language and is within 30 feet of the psicrystal, while the psicrystal is also within 1 mile of the owner.
  • Improved Evasion (Ex): If a psicrystal is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.
  • Self-Propulsion (Su): As a Standard Action, its owner can will a psicrystal to form spidery, ectoplasmic legs that grant the psicrystal a land speed of 30 feet and a climb speed of 20 feet. The legs fade into nothingness after one day (or sooner, if the owner desires).
  • Deliver Touch Powers (Su): The owner's psicrystal can deliver touch powers for him. If the owner and psicrystal are in contact at the time the owner manifests a touch power, he can designate his psicrystal as the "toucher." The psicrystal can then deliver the touch power just as the owner could.
  • Sighted (Ex): Although it has no physical sensory organs, a psicrystal can telepathically sense its environment as well as a creature with normal vision and hearing. Darkness (even supernatural darkness) is irrelevant, as are areas of supernatural silence, though a psicrystal still can't discern invisible or ethereal beings. A psicrystal's sighted range is 40 feet.
  • Telepathic Link (Su): The owner has a telepathic link with his psicrystal out to a distance of up to 1 mile. The owner cannot see through the psicrystal's senses, but the two of them can communicate telepathically as if the psicrystal were the target of a mindlink power manifested by the owner. Because of the telepathic link between a psicrystal and its owner, the owner has the same connection to an item or place that the psicrystal does.
  • Construct Traits: A psicrystal has immunity to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, necromancy effects, mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects), and any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless it also works on objects or is harmless. It is not subject to non-lethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain. It cannot heal damage, but it can be repaired.

    • Mythic Hexes (Su): When you use a Hex that requires a saving throw against a non-Mythic target, that target is automatically affected for 1 round (which doesn't count toward the Hex's duration) and can't attempt a saving throw to resist the Hex.

For the spell's duration, the wearer can use of any of the bound outsider's spell-like abilities as if they were his own.

Special Abilities:
  • Cloying Shade (Su) A smokeshade's tendrils deal negative energy damage. A creature that takes damage from a smokeshade's tendril attack is surrounded by a haze of cloying shadow for 1 round. This cloying shade imposes a -2 penalty on attack rolls and Perception skill checks and grants the target concealment from attacks made by opponents that are not adjacent to it. This ability does not give the target concealment against the smokeshade.
  • Hide in Plain Sight (Su) A smokeshade can use the Stealth skill even while being observed. As long as it is within 10 feet of an area of dim light, a smokeshade can hide itself from view in the open without anything to actually hide behind. A smokeshade can hide in the shadows of other creatures but not in its own shadow.
  • Misty Form (Ex) A smokeshade's body is composed of a semisolid black mist similar in consistency to thick foam. In addition to the incorporeal subtype, the smokeshade's misty form grants it the amorphous defensive ability. The creature cannot speak or make other sounds beyond a low rumble. Unlike a normal incorporeal creature, a smokeshade cannot enter water or other fluids, and it is always treated as a Tiny creature for the purposes of how wind affects it, even if it increases in size.
  • Book of Shadows (Ex): Having internalized his knowledge of wizardry in a desperate attempt to escape capture the wizard no longer has need of, nor can he made use of an external spellbook. Due to the added complexity of inscribing entire spells within his shadowy form the wizard requires twice as much time to inscribe a new spell. This class feature replaces Arcane Bond.
  • Extended Illusions (Su): Any illusion spell you cast with a duration of "concentration" lasts a number of additional rounds equal to 1/2 your wizard level after you stop maintaining concentration (minimum +1 round). At 20th level, you can make one illusion spell with a duration of "concentration" become permanent. You can have no more than one illusion made permanent in this way at one time. If you designate another illusion as permanent, the previous permanent illusion ends.
  • Binding Darkness (Sp): As a standard action, you cast a weave of shadows at any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. The shadows entangle your foe for 1 round plus 1 additional round for every five wizard levels you possess. In conditions of bright light, this duration is halved (minimum 1 round). A creature entangled by your shadows has concealment from those without darkvision or the ability to see in darkness, and other creatures likewise have concealment relative to it. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.
  • Shadow Step (Sp): You can use this ability to walk through the Shadow Plane and reappear as a Standard Action. You can travel up to 240 feet (30 feet per Wzard level per day) in this fashion, either in a single round or broken up across multiple shadow steps. This movement must be used in 5-foot increments and does not provoke an Attack of Opportunity. Travel through the Shadow Plane is imprecise; when you arrive, you re-enter 1 square off target. If this would place you in an occupied square, you instead arrive in the nearest safe location. When you arrive, you are cloaked in shadow and gain Concealment as the Blur spell for 1 round. You may bring other willing creatures with you, but you must expend an equal amount of distance for each additional creature brought with you. They likewise re-enter off target and are cloaked in shadow for 1 round.
Mythic Abilities: Mythic Power (7/Day)
  • Mythic Traits:
    • Hard to Kill (Ex): You automatically stabilize if reduced to 0 HP.
    • Surge (Su): You can expend one Mythic Power to add 1d6 to any 1d20 roll you make as a Free action.
    • Wild Arcana (Su): You can expend one Mythic Power to duplicate any Arcane spell on your class lists, up to your highest level of spells known, with a +2 caster level bonus as a Standard Action.
    • Amazing Initiative (Ex): You gain a bonus on initiative checks equal to your Mythic tier. In addition, as a Free Action on your turn, you can expend one use of Mythic power to take an additional Standard Action during that turn. This additional Standard Action can't be used to cast a spell. You can't gain an extra action in this way more than once per round.
  • Mythic Path Abilities:
    • Mythic Spell Focus (Illusion): You can expend one use of Mythic Power as part of casting an Illusion spell to force any of the spell's targets to roll their saving throws twice, taking the lower result.
    • Mythic Spellcasting: You can learn a number of Mythic spells equal to your tier and can expend Mythic Power when casting them to enhance the results. Every time you gain a new tier, you can select an additional mythic spell.
    • Harmonious Mage (Ex): Your wizardly studies have moved beyond the concept of opposition schools. You can prepare Evocation and Conjuration spells using one spell slots instead of two, and no longer suffer Spellcraft penalties when using them for crafting purposes.
Curse & Drawbacks:
  • Weight of Smoke (Ex): Cannot make use of any equipment that is not specially designed for him, even Ghost touch weapons cannot be technically used by a smokeshade as it does not impinge upon the material, rather it is but smoke and shadow. Additionally the smokeshade wizard cannot use any item creation spells that require interactions with material reality
  • Paranoid (Ex): Anyone who attempts an aid another action of any type to assist you must succeed at a DC 15 check instead of the normal DC 10 check.
  • Warded Against Nature (Su): Animals do not willingly approach within 30 feet of you, unless you or the animal's master succeeds at a DC 20 Handle Animal, Ride, or wild empathy check. Animal companions, familiars, and mounts granted by your class abilities are immune to this effect.

Ah, I see.

Sounds like we should setup inside a Resilient Sphere cast by Sirim targeting Eshe. A 10 foot diameter spherical Wall of Force would keep the spirit from fleeing and he cannot interact with the world unless he's in control of a possessed host, so he would just have to float there and eat Purge Spirit spells.

Would that work?

Hmm, and what if we added an inverted Magic Circle Against Evil spell with the Dimensional Anchor effect added, too?

Magic Circle against Evil – d20PFSRD

Thay version should prevent all planar travel abilities.

In that case, I think that we should take a Comatose'd Eshe to the local temple of Pharsma and ask them to help us set up something to trap him until he runs out of time once he's ejected/flees, rather than hope he'll just be stuck and powerless in the Refuge.

For the sake of things going smoothly, I'm happy to spend the Surge Points to cast the spell Goldfish had in mind.

Also, if we do this right I can imagine that we'll look more trustworthy and be able to get Hallow scrolls.
(One to use here (and two backups to be returned if we don't nmend up using then (Kori needs to make a CL check to use them))).

The Temple of Pharasma would make the most sense to visit in hopes of getting help exorcising Bad Grandpa, along with getting Hallow scrolls specifically intended for putting down powerful Undead who would otherwise be practically invincible.

Although I'm happy to purchase the scrolls from them and even pay for the exorcism, it's essentially part of the church's dogma to destroy the Undead, so there shouldn't be any real difficulty in getting them to cooperate with us.

  • [X] Send the Xorn home, offer them some of our cheap basic supplies/goods for use or as a trade good, if we have anything useful to them and in return ask them to share their full knowledge of the denizens and hazards of this place before they leave forever (Mina offers Fortune if they make knowledge/intelligence checks). [The intention here this isn't to get detailed on-screen information next update, but for us players to have "according to the Xorn..." context for stuff in later updates, and to be able to provide that information to Eshe/Sylestrix in the future].

Arc 11: Post 10: Of Stone and Brass New
  • Threadmarks
    • Of Stone and Brass ​

    21th of Abadius 4708 A.R. (Absalom Reckoning)

    The xorn are happy to be sent on their way. The Refuge was no such thing to them, though in the time they had spent here at least Little Boulder and her kin formed a small tribe of their own. They had not, as you had half feared they would, resolved to follow Nex on whatever dark paths he had taken on his own, but wished to gather up an expedition of like-minded beings on the Plane of Earth. In parting they explain that the great walls of Nex's capital, the spires of his many towers, even the dams that spanned the river Elemion to water the fields which feed his people, were all built with the aid of earth elementals bound to serve, or as beings born of flesh and blood would call it, enslaved. They alone had been bound near the heart of Nex's power and so they had vowed to find the Arch-mage and extract from him a price beyond the magic woven in their binding.

    They are not grim, the children of the earth, for all that they had to bear across their long vigil, and you are welcomed to their settlements in the Endless Delve if you should ever pass by there, warned only that air is not so common in the realm that is its opposite and it might be wise to have some manner of breathing apparatus when you do visit.

    Of trade goods there's little enough you can spare, but from what you have you'll give them some.

    What do you give the Xorn?

    [] Write in

    ***​

    Of course they are not the only allies that helped you take the Refuge, and Crick and his crew had been gathered around Cob listening to stories of the Inner Sea and all the journeys you had taken across its face, from Cheliax to Andoran to Taldor and back, though only the captain can speak still. Being informed by an amused Avarice that they are themselves made of materials more precious than most ships that ply those waters carry only seems to encourage them to seek richer plunder. When Cob starts describing the Dancing Slurk to them... well. it's something of a foregone conclusion that they are going to want to change the design of their ship. Probably best someone stop them before they also decide they'd like their ship to be fueled by anima like the mad alchemist's design.

    The less fortunate side of all this excitement is that they want to return to the material plane at once with you rather than wait until you had brought Eshe to an exorcist or otherwise assured you of her good health. Dare you impose another odd visitation upon Cassomir, or should you perhaps choose another city?

    Where do you travel to next?

    [] Cassomir

    [] Augustana

    [] Almas

    [] Write in

    OOC: I wasn't sure what supplies or trade goods you wanted to share with the xorn, but that would not make an update on its own. Hope this is not too choppy.

    • @DragonParadox, does Refuge possess some mechanism or enchantment to help us return to the place from which we entered the demiplane? If not, we can Janni's Jaunt/Plane Shift back to the Golarion, but we're going to arrive 5d100 miles from our target destination.

    We'll need to use a Teleport scroll to get to whatever city we're aiming for after that if we want to make it in any reasonable amount of time.

    Also, what might the Xorn want? We really aren't carrying much with us that seems like it would be interesting to them and that we're going to be willing to part with.

    Maybe some CLW potions and a container of Restorative Ointment?
