what's an etheric lattice?

"It's an Old Allarian term for intersecting geomantic glyphs drawn widdershins thusly..." Psais replies to the gnome.
His attention caught, the deva studies the ritual along with Grigo.

renau, just checking... we fought zombies and then aberrations, so we hit a milestone and recovered an action point, right? And did the negotiation with cultists and return of David's body count as a third encounter?

 

[renau1g]

[sblock=ooc]
I usually don't count skill challenges as worthy encounters as you won't be using AP's during them, but sure. You've completed 3 encounters so far and reached 1 milestone. Remember though milestones aren't always after 2 encounters [/sblock]

 

[renau1g]

"Very well, good luck the time is nigh. I do however require some insurance that you will return. I will keep the duergar with me until you return, then I will release him to you and you may leave" the necromancer says.

Jade will whisper to you, "It'll let me keep an eye on them, maybe I can learn something useful" and agrees.

[sblock=ooc]
Haven't heard anything from elec, waited enough time now. Sent an e-mail and PM and nothing. I spoke to his other DM's also and they haven't heard anything either so he's written out for now. If elec comes back, maybe he can 'ride to the rescue' or something [/sblock]

The group travels along the path the foul wizard laid out for them and despite a constant sense of being watched, nothing materializes and so you peer around a corner and see what has to be the portal. The darkness of the portal seems alive and all light seems absorbed by it. Something strains against the darkness, seeming to try and enter this world. There seems to be little time left!

From the ceiling crimson streams spill from the darkness above and a statue of some fell creature stands across from the open portal.

[sblock=OOC]
We'll be conducting this in initiative, as in combat. Everyone gets a surprise round essentially, so 1 action and please post initiative with your post.

[H.M.Gimlord]

Eithal, evidently distracted, fails to realize that her party has committed to entering the room, "Hey y'all! Wayet fah Eitahl!"

[sblock=OOC]

Initiative = 1d20+0=1 Woowoo! Dead Last!

Move to K30

Unless I'm reading the map wrong, there's not much in the way of a suitable target, and Eithal's not exactly keen on a direct assault against whatever is 'straining' to get from that world to this one.[/sblock]

 

[Mewness]

One-Who-Waits moves to get a view of the room.

[sblock=actions]Move to 33M.

initiative (1d20+2=10)

I may be a bit spotty over the next few weeks--crunch time at the end of the semester. I will try to keep posting regularly though.[/sblock]

 

[On Puget Sound]

Grigo gets closer to the entrance of the room, the better to study the portal and figure out the safest apporach.

Initiative: 15. Action: Move to M32. What is the dark area in the six squares at the entrance? If it looks dangerous, give a warning.

 

[renau1g]

[sblock=dark area]
Nothing dangerous, that's just where you normally start the PC's in this map from the module I swiped it from [/sblock]

 

[pacdidj]

Holding his new spear at the ready, Yimayngurr moves around the corner, and pauses attempting to survey the room and take in important details. Unfortunately at this distance even his trained eyes have difficulty making out the details of the area.

[sblock=Actions]Move to L33.

Initiative (+6) = 18[/sblock]

 

[renau1g]

[sblock=pacdidj]
Remember that surprise rounds are only 1 action so either move, minor or standard. Note also that perception checks are now only minor actions to perform, not standard [/sblock]
