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.'

"And why did you swing your blade my servant?"

"Anger in defence of your honour. But Jeremy he... he did not deserve to die"

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

"Mayhap not my loyal servant..."

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.

OOC: Anything in particular you are looking for in the monastery notes?

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

He looks up at Sarric.

Vrakrash must traverse the waters again to reach this next dolmen.

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?"

"My loyal servant, I would have you help the construct known as Karinth be who he is, help him make the right choice when the time comes.

And protect Retula.

Will you do this for me?"

sKeith

Sarric picks up the head.

Sarric picks up the head.

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

"Who are you?" Ursula demands of Sarric.

"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"

The light fades and concentrates itself in to Durandal.

OOC: Paladin, unless you want to be a cleric.
Full power of Durandal unlocked. 4d10
