SHIVER
Shiver picks up the jewels, shes no expert in appraising worth, but she and her sister have enough that they know good stuff when they see it.
Sgrag piles the rest of his findings with the pit fiend's items and then looks at Vitis. "This help," he asks.
Vitis looks over the gems with a critical eye.
SpoilerAppraise [roll0] Improv
Also, casting detect magic, if any are magic I'll see it.
They are my favorite item... when they are crushed a large elemental forms in its place under the control of the being that crushed it.
The ones you've obtained are slightly different in the fact that they summon Elder Elementals... well, atleast most of them do... one of each color summons an Elemental Weird which you must make a will save to control and a couple of them summon Primal Elementals.
This should even the odds a little next time you clash with the others.
Please note: There is no set duration for which the elementals last or stay under your control...
Crushing a beautiful jewel in front of me or my sister is not going to go over well, I can tell you that.
Melk
"Hmm, so which one of these summons a rock elemental?"
After someone points one out, Melk will set the crystal on a small rock and take a few practice swings at it with his hammer. After the 3rd swing, he smashes the small stone into tiny piece in an act to summon the elemental of earth.
Noticing the strange ire in both Shiver and Shakes eyes, Melk give his first order to the massive creature (if it appears) after clearing his throat.
"Sir rock creature, can you do me a favor and search earth beneath us for some diamonds? Any size will do. I do hope that is within your power sir."
Just saying that a pixie with 3 strength could crush one in it's hand...
John points to a brownish one They're colored similar to that of the element they correspond to.
Once the gem is smashed, a huge Earth Elemental stands up out of the ground leaving a hole where it came from.
The Earth Elemental just stands there for a moment and moves its limbs in a manner similar to the stretching one might do after a long sleep.
As you wish master...
It then proceeds to sink into the ground, 5 minutes later it returns to the surface with a diamond larger than The Stone's ego...
The diamond weighs approximately 600Lbs.
Melk
Melk lifts an eyebrow at the women,
"You like?"
He then addresses the Elemental,
"I appreciate your fine work. If you don't have a name, I'll call you Atlus. So, Atlus, until I call for you again, you may do whatever you wish just as long as you're within calling range and your actions don't effect upon me negatively.
Oh' and don't get yourself killed either."
Spoileryou sir, need to have the stone's ego reappraisesd. You undervalue it. ;)
The stone seems only half aware of what is going on. He seems to have wandered a decent ways away from the group and is talking very quietly for the stone to his dragon companion.
vitis loads the rest of the gems into his magical storage, while carefully eyeing the large diamond.
Spoiler[roll0]
also 600 lbs? that diamond must be worth piles.
Drunchard :
Hmm, if we can't have a dragon mount, maybe we could cobble together bits and pieces of machinery to make a massive fortress to get us around?
"Anyone want dragon armor," Sgrag asks with a smirk. "Seems a shame to let it go to waste."
Realizing what his buddies did to the last gem, Vitis places this one in his magical storage, though with a bit more work that normal, due to it's size.
SpoilerNo Smashy. I am making a golem out of pure diamond and naming him tom. *Twich*
Melk
Stopping Vitis,
"Hey there buddy, you'll have to ask the ladies if you want to be using that for something other than jewelry."
SHAKE
There is no way we are wasting that diamond for making a silly golem. Jewelry would be a much better use for it.
Relax, I'm just storing it for now. It's far safe in my storage than almost anywhere else.
SpoilerKinda disappointed about the lack of reference getting, and surprised a beautifully made Diamond Golem is considered less awesome than what would appear to be a novelty ring.
SHIVER
I dont know what sort of jewelry youre used to, but the stuff I buy never breaks. Especially if its diamond jewelry.
Now Im not saying it has to be made into jewelry, although that would clearly be the best use for it...but making a lifeless machine out of it would be silly. Better to find some old codger whos willing to fork out a bundle for it in one piece, if we arent going to make baubles out of it.
"As nice as this chat is, can we grab the rest of the loot and get from here," Sgrag says as he starts to divide the coins ten ways.
Yes. I probably should get back to Atilersberg... and tell them that we needn't worry about that dragon any more.
SHIVER
That might not be as easy as you think...or as easy as it was to get here. I dont know if you have noticed but this landscape is more like Hell than where we started. If the planar rift doesnt cut both ways, you might be stuck here for a while.
:smalleek: But... how... :smallfurious: you had something to do with this didn't you? :smallyuk: I never have liked giants, always causing problems! his hand begins to move toward his belt.
Everyone gets an AoO, if they want it...
The stone comes from behind and grabs his arm, and if he can readies a punch.
"Settle down Gebroni, you saw what we did to a devil and a dragon at the same time. No need to get your candy ass handed to you. We didn't cause this planar rift, but there's no reason to think a simple plane shift wont get us home."
touch attack to grab him [roll0].
Melk
"Well anyway, I think we should head out to new discoveries. This place has served its purpose of delivering us some niceties."
"Agreed, lets go," Sgrag says.
As you leave the cave through the tunnel you notice something a little off... the tunnel appears to be sloped the opposite direction it was before... and at the end there is no waterfall but, there is a lavafall...
"Ok Melk, Stone, any ideas," Sgrag questions.
The stone makes a motion (similar to Robert De Niro) that indicates he is keeping an eye on John.
"As the Stone said, we may have gone through a one way planar gate. We need a plane shift to get home. What say you miniature giant kobold? Can you do that?"
SpoilerThe gold dragon left a few minutes ago, was she able to get out or is she stuck here as well?
Duncard advances into the lava and attempts to walk out the other side.
(Immune to Fire so he won't die)
He then takes a look around.
Listen:
[roll0]
Spot: (I think, I can't access my sheet right now)
[roll1]
SHIVER
What do you see over there? And how are we going to join you, that lava is going to do even more to me and my sister than usual
SpoilerThe Profiler of TTW is down, and we never made paper copies of Shiver and Shake. Hopefully, it comes up soon. Hopefully....:smallfrown:
Sgrag will look about for a door or small tunnel, this includes the ceiling.

Search [roll1]
Drunchard
Drunchard walks back out of the lava and shakes it off him like a wet dog, trying to stop any lava landing on someone.
There isn't anything on the other side of the lava, IE: Physics is being broken.
He then looks up at the ceiling to dry and Identify where the lava is coming from.
Spot:
[roll0]
Melk
"Why not go under it? Atlus, come forth!"
Melk waits for Atlus (The Earth Elemental from earlier) to appear before him.
"Is it within your power to dig a hole large enough for all of us to path through within a short amount of time? I would prefer a tunnel away from this lave stuff over there too if you could be so kind."
As you wish master... The Elemental charges at the wall crashing an Elemental shaped hole through the wall, it then comes charging back through clearing the path. Does this please master?
Melk
"Thank you Mighty Atlus for your assistance again today. I dismiss you for now."
Melk then turns to the rest of the group.
"Hey guys, why do I have to keep on coming up with solutions?"
Melk laughs a bit and waits for everyone to get ready to leave if they're not yet.
Shake and Shiver both indicate they are ready to move, and as the primary tanks, take the lead.
Shiver and Shake being the first ones through the tunnel can see a massive cavern with a city sitting in the middle on a sort of shelf-like platform that is held in place by many pillars of rock stretching out into the walls around it... the only illumination comes from yet another lava fall although, this one falls right through the center of the city and you can see that it continues down past the city for quite a distance, such a distance that you cannot see the bottom. There is a walkway to the city approximately 100 feet to the left of the opening of your tunnel.
Climb checks if you want to get to the walkway, if you can't fly.
One of the buffs I gave everyone allows flight.
Vitis darts off, gaining a bit of height and hovering about 40 ft. over the walkway.
SpoilerUnless you'll allow me to convert gp straight into gear, I'll need to buy supplies to actually make the piles of stuff we want me to make.
Shiver and Shake both use their gifted power of flight and head over to the walkway, landing on it, and preparing to walk forward, just waiting for the rest of the party to join them.
Melk
Melk activates his ring to gain powerful wings for flight in addition to the flight given to him Vitis. So now he's flying with double-wings behind Shake and Shiver.
SpoilerOOC: Melk's ring grants a better Flight speed so it supersedes the flight given to him by Vitis, but Melk is nice and will be going Double-Wing for the duration of the buff to show his appreciation. :smallsmile:
Dunchard flys up to the walkway faster than the rest of the party and looks for any inhabitants.
Spot:
[roll0]
Sgrag will awkwardly use the flight just to the walkway, then follow on foot.
SHAKE, SHIVER
Once all the members have joined them on the walkway, Shake and Shiver will lead the way....unless Dunchard seems to think it necessary that he lead.
SpoilerDefine a few. 4?
As the stone walks/flies, he seems unusually depressed. He makes no witty banter, nor does he say anything to indicate his superiority over others.
Upon seeing the pit fiends, he draws his sword, takes up his aura of chaos stance and says "Are you Gebroni's ready?"
Initiative [roll0]
SHIVER
Pit fiends in a lowly guard position. Makes you wonder what the higher ups are. Lets see if we have to fight our way through this
Shiver and Shake approach the pit fiends carefully, with hands on their weapons, but not drawing yet.
Greetings noble fiends. What is the name of this city you gaurd. Is there something required for entry?
[roll0] Diplomacy
Maxed init = 34
"I'm ready, but I was hoping to purchase supplies in this town, which will be far harder to do if you go about killing guards. Might I suggest we at least wait until they start a fight or we've purchased what we need?"
"Devils only interest in trade would likely be our soul. Keep that in mind."
