Shearphorus, Part 5 (Erastus (VII) 1st, 4710 AR)

Entrance to the Guardian Hall. The heroes killed the ogre guard.

Guardian Hall. A 30-foot by 30-foot section of the chamber directly below the chute from the entrance to the guardian hall above has a null-gravity effect. Aranthor, who was flying, had to use a move action to reorient himself when passing through this area, but then proceeded as normal. Jules and Zemurin did not reach the ground, instead hanging 15 feet above the floor. Gryxxa, who was levitating, liberated them by pulling them outside the null-gravity area.

This huge chamber, roughly carved and left with unfinished walls, is one hundred feet square. Continual flame spells nearly cover the flat ceiling thirty feet above, so the place is refreshingly well-lit. An iron boss ten feet in diameter protrudes from the stone in the center of each wall. Large iron tools of various function lie haphazardly across the floor, while one workbench features a more orderly set of fine human-sized tools and a bedroll below. An iron statue of a legless dragon lies near a wall, not quite complete, and what might be a howdah stands next to it. A large opening in the center of each wall is covered with a massive iron hatch, secured with a heavy bar.

The tools spread across the floor were animated and flew to attend any damaged guardian in the hall, granting any guardian fast healing (with the exception of unbound tongues of rebuke; these require more time to restore to normal function). The tools were otherwise inert. The nearly-complete tongue of rebuke was completely lifeless.

A tiefling with an embellished Dragonfall Mark was also in this room: red draconic tattoos covered her face, neck, and arms, radiating out from a clear diamond cut in an ovoid, two inches long, attached to her throat.

Another functional tongue of rebuke was here with the tiefling. Guardians previously damaged by the heroes are undergoing repairs here as well.

The tiefling let fly a disintegrate as soon as the heroes entered the room. When she was killed, a hemisphere of ice, 5 foot in radius was created around her, and the tongue of rebuke then attacked the heroes. The tongue of rebuke fought until destroyed.

The Market's Vengeance (Arodus (VIII) 15th, 4709 AR)

-
The thugs drew their weapons when the heroes did the same, and fought anyone standing between them and Zeeva. When their spellcaster was killed, any remaining thugs tried to flee the market. One of them escaped, one of them was killed, while the last was captured. The spellcaster tried to employ crowd-control spells to confound the heroes. Zeeva is unarmed and ill prepared for combat. She tried to stay out of harm's way. She pled in vain with the Pathfinders not to kill the Aspis attackers. The heroes had little time after the last of the Consortium agents was defeated . The goon who was conscious to witness the haunting experience is visibly shaken. Soon after the conclusion of the Aspis Consortium's attack on Zeeva Foxglove, a haunt  manifested by animating two piles of produce into shambling mounds and the market's central tree into an angry quickwood. Despite being indoors, a terrible wind began blowing through the Green Market, shaking the tree in the central plaza and

The Bone Field (Sarenith (VI) 29th, 4710 AR)

-
Image
Seneschal's Cathedral The bones around this area are meticulously organized, creating a spiral of bone walls that lead into a small clearing. In the center of this open space reside the bones of a gargantuan dragon. The dragon’s bones have been carefully carved with the draconic word for “protector” over and over again. Despite their pristine condition, the skull of the dragon has been crushed. The heroes uncovered a green dragon scale embedded in a fragment of the shattered skull. The bones ringing this clearing are inscribed with a complex litany of protective runes, mixed in with bits of draconic prophecy. A single tongue of rebuke had been stationed here. It circled this area but did not attack until the heroes tried to leave the cathedral. The tongue of rebuke alternated between its breath weapon and roar. It fought until destroyed. The Spirit of Auronorex This location contains some of the largest draconic skeletons in the entire Bone Field. Lying in the center of these skele

Numerian Leaf Armor

Image
The few forests among the scrublands of Numeria are home to druidic elves, who use secret alchemical compounds to treat special leaves used in crafting armor for their warriors. Stitching the overlapping leaves into a leather jerkin, bracers, and leggings provides great flexibility while deflecting blows as well as metal armor. Numerian leaf armor is always masterwork. It cannot be constructed from other special materials.   Cost Armor Bonus Max Dex Armor Check Arcane Spell Failure 30 ft. 20 ft. Weight Numerian leaf armor 500 gp +3 +8 0 10% 30 ft. 20 ft. 10 lb.
