Recap of part 4, act 2.
The party healed up right after the battle with the pale tower guards, while healing the party smells roses emanating from the door behind them and Zaur notices that there are some gold and silver coins in the pool of water. Juno and Jaromir detect magic and discover the area has illusion and transmutation magic, the party then throws one of the dead guards in the pool from a safe distance, but nothing happens besides a big slash. Zaur steps up to the knee wall and gets attacked by an alerted water elemental, it also triggers a silent image of a God named Titivilus. The party decides to kill the elemental, (I guess no one mage hand) and battle begins. Gutrender takes a big slice through it, and the rest of the party gets their attacks in. The elemental got a few hits in, but the party did kill it and took the gold in the pool.
The party checked out the room that emanated the smell of roses and found the bathrooms, there is permanent magic making the area smell nice.
The party then searched the guards quarters, there was nothing of interest, clothing, grooming items, letters, and personal items of no value, but they also did find a note it reads “A gathering within the hall, take one, take us all” Legifer believes it is the password to the teleport pads, and he would turn out to be correct.
The party uses the teleporter pads, and they are teleported to the 2nd level, they are immediately confronted by some Atomies. Ozzy must wait for the first PC’s to go through, so there is room on the teleporter for him and his eidolon. The Atomies flew above the party and cast invisibility on themselves, but one was slow to react, and Legifer got in a big hit, it then tried to fly past Legifer, but it provoked, and Legifer finished it off. The other two Atomies used ranged attacks with sneak attack on the party when they were invisible. And the party used ranged attacks when they were not invisible. They were also attacked by a Spriggan that was in the kitchen, in its large shape. Jaromir got one of the Atomie in a glitterdust, reveling it from being invisible, and Ozzy summoned a frog that was able to grapple the other Atomie in the air. Juno and Legifer attacked the Spriggan in the kitchen. The party overcame all of them, and then they were immediately attacked by the captain, with 4 mirror images floating around it. She got a few hits in, but the party burned through all the images and then finished her off. The party collected all the treasure, one of the items of note was a +1 resistance crystal on a cloak, and two keys. They began to search the rest of the rooms on the 2nd floor. One bedroom was empty, in another they found a note, “Dear Mierul, I could use your skills in tracking down and killing the last Black Rider and recovering the items he stole from me. You will be greatly rewarded as usual for whatever help you can be on this matter of great importance” Signed “Nazhena Vasilliovna”
In the library they found a spell book, and a scroll of spider climb. In the captains bedroom, they found some nice valuables, and gold.
They ran into some trouble in the conservatory, Ozzy came across a hostile plant, with a loud shriek that causes nausea. Ozzy and his eidolon were affected, but his summoned frog was not. The frog was able to grapple the plant creature, and the rest of the party closed in to kill it. The plant was tough, but it could do little to harm the party after the frog pinned it.
The last room was guarded by animated ice nymph constructs, they got some hits on the party, but in the end, they were shattered into ice cubes.
The party, in need of a rest, decides to bar themselves in the guards quarters on the first floor for the night. (5:50 pm) (to be continued)
