Sarric looks around, the pulls out the notebook and examines it.
If he cant make heads nor tails of it, he shows it to karinth to see what he can make of it.

Karinth takes the notepad.

"A complex seal...I shall undo it"

He begins to channel energy into the lock.

"This may take some time"

After a few seconds swinging from her ankles, thinking "zap! Zap! Zap!" with no visible effect Retula realises she's maybe misjudged the complexity of the Tower's defences.
"Turn us around!" She shouts, slipping one hand through the crown so she can wear it like a bangle while she casts.
If there are prominent stalactites in the roof that might land on the worm queen, she tries casting Shatter at their base. Otherwise EBs to the face while hightailing it for the window

OOC: Roll for EBs to hit

Vrakrash shields his eyes as best he can with his axe and heads for the dolmen.

A giant mill wheel appears in the air in front of Vrakrash.

"DRAGON. I AM MESHARUM, GOD OF LAW AND ORDER. DISTURB YE NOT MY CLERIC. ACTIVATE THE REMAINING RUINS. IT IS THE KEY TO YOUR VENGENCE AND TO RESTORING BALANCE"

Banjo

Retula's Eldritch Blast [ d20+7 =8 ] Force dmg [ d10+4 = 9 ]
Retula's Eldritch Blast [ d20+7 = 13 ] Force dmg [ d10+4 = 5 ]



Edit : btw, how tall is the worm?

'Mesha-what now? Whatever dude - I just want to get to the next floor. Tell me what to do and how to do it and I'll leave you to... whatever you're up to.'

Sarric takes out his scroll case full of notes from the monastry and puruses the notes while Karinth works on the notebooks lock.

The room grows dark, only Durandal is visible.

"That blade in your hand was once wielded by one with absolute confidence in himself. You cannot wield it as you have lost your spirit.

You have made mistakes Iuric...but you have learned a lot. You have seen that even a god like I is but another being. Greater in power and understanding yes, but I can make mistakes.

Forgive yourself my servant, so that you may aid others again.

There is one last great task I would have you perform"

"Go to the island over there..."

He shines a light East.

"...and activate the rune"

Necro

Vrakrash shrugs.

'Cool beans Mesha-wotsit. Have fun with your cleric!'

He heads east towards where the light has been shone.

"Sarric I have it...it says...'Don't trust my mother'..."

He looks up at Sarric.

OOC: Several times human height, about 25 foot tall

The Eldritch blasts make little impact on the beast, the energy simply flowing over its skin.

As it charges, Retula makes it back to the window where Karinth sits with the notebook.

"Retula...Vrakrash's diary here has something about you"

sKeith

OOC: not really, he's just killing time.

"Heh, why would one of the vrakrashs magically seal that mesage up?"

Under the water the massive beast turns toward Vrakrash.

OOC: Chase rules. Basically it's like a fight, but instead of fighting you should probably take the dash action (double movement). You get to use the dash action 3+CON mod times, in your case 5 turns. Any turn after that you need to make a CON check to use it. You can of course not do dash and instead cast a spell

"If it's about my ass, he's right but it's still rude to think it, perv! We should go. I think I made it mad and I don't think the walls will slow it down!"

She runs for the stairs.

Karinth stands.

"No, it says his mother did something to you. I fear we are part of a game that has been long in the playing.

I will scout ahead, ensure your safety"

He heads up the stairs and motions that the coast is clear.

Sarric follows after Karinth.

Banjo

Following, she muses "oooh a game. I wonder if it's *the* game. Zorver..sorgen..you know, dragon chess! But then who is the other dragon...? Unless they set their sights higher.... Oh featherplucker! But then this whole time I was just... Oh, that can't end well. Karinth, what are you supposed to do when you're whole? Honestly?"

Retula, Sarric and Karinth arrive in the room with the ladder where they can see another bald woman's head still bleeding on the floor.

Following, she muses "oooh a game. I wonder if it's *the* game. Zorver..sorgen..you know, dragon chess! But then who is the other dragon...? Unless they set their sights higher.... Oh featherplucker! But then this whole time I was just... Oh, that can't end well. Karinth, what are you supposed to do when you're whole? Honestly?"

"I am meant to..."

The room turns a dark blue as an image of Ursula forms in front of them. Nine feet tall she wears a white mask, a dragon on one cheek, a raven on another.

"He doesn't know, do you construct, but I do"

Karinth narrows his eyes.

"And you little goddess, I won't allow you to ruin everything I've worked for. Figured it all out have we?"

And protect Retula.

Will you do this for me?"

Sarric picks up the head.

The woman's tongue rolls out of her mouth when he does so.

"The construct isn't meant to be here...you have set events twirling from the path Citra and I designed"

Iuric looks puzzled at the mention of Retula and casually tries a divine sense.

His divine sense tells him it is Mesharum.

"Wise my cleric. I have no time for the Raven Queen and her machinations, inscrutable even to me.

However if Ursula gets what she wants, it will throw the operations of this plane into chaos. I don't know what it is, but I know she cannot get Retula"

Sarric turns the head around so it faces the nine foot ursula and manipulates the heads mouth to imatate the words he says, then imitates ursulas voice as best he can.. "Who are you... who are you..."


He then turns the head towards himself and moves the mouth again. "who am i.. who am i.."


To which Sarric answers, "I have no idea who you are! Do you have the ability to free a monk called Danjin from the prison cells?"

"You? YOU worked for? You still think you're the hand moving the pieces? You may be the greatest mortal sorcerer of your epoch, but you're a hangnail at best, Tasimite! The game started before your birth, before the generations that were honed to produce you. You're not a player, you're a move. As am I.

Hetyaro nods, slinking out of the way.

"Well that's just it Retula, I've found a way to no longer be a piece. I have my own afterlife, I'm growing my own material plane. Soon a complete world, afterlife, material plane, associated planes...a full cosmology with me as its absolute ruler.

And you know I need you, but I have you already. The problem is these fragments of your mortal self"

Climbing to his feet, Vrakrash looks back at the circling beast, puts his scaly thumbs against his cheeks, sticks out his tongue and shouts:

'Neener, Neener!'

He then turns and makes for the dolmen.

Within the dolmen is a runestone surrounded by several hex marks.

Around the stone are several dead bodies.

The head passes through the image and Sarric climbs the ladder out onto an island in a lake.

On one of the distant islands he sees Vrakrash. In the waters next to that island he sees the shadowy form of some beast.

Evade

Iuric leaves the dolmen and goes back to Scinfaxi. "We have a dragon to find" Iuric mounts Scinfaxi and heads to the beach.


OOC: Is Iuric's armour the Mesharumic one or the blued one? Any oath or subrace changes?

Heading out to the beach, he spots Vrakrash on the island to the East.

Sarric scans the horizon for anything that looks like it could be exiting to a higer level.

Necro

Vrakrash thinks for a moment and then speaks to the runestone.

'Hey, you - runey! I command you to move free of these hexes and come to me.'

He positions himself a decent distance from the hexes as he gives the command.

OOC: As per that mark he got on his arm WAAAAAAAYYY back.... Once a day Varkrash can command a rock of any size no bigger than himself to move.

He sees nothing but the lake and the islands. At the horizon he spots the foam of a waterfall cascade.
