Pathfinder U2

The Guardian Hall.  Opening the south port set in the wall is easy but extremely dangerous: a stream of cold energy shoots across the chamber to the opposite wall, dealing damage to anything in its path each round. Concealed under the workbench in a secret compartment were two spellbooks. One spellbook is unremarkable. It is worth 990 gp. The other spellbook, however, is very unusual: its covers are bronze plates engraved to resemble interlocking golem fists, it is thicker than the typical spellbook, and it has an integral hinged bronze bookmark in the shape of a golem’s arm. This arm is actually a mechanical trap and attacked Gryxxa when she touched the book. The book is worth 11,250 gp due to its integrated trap and unusual materials. The Epitaphrum.  As the heroes ascended toward the plateau of the Epitaphrum, it became easier than it was at the base of the Throat of Shearphorus to identify the source of Astersyn’s screams, their meaning, and the voice of the Epitaphrum. Th...

Outsider: An outsider is at least partially composed of the essence (but not necessarily the material) of some plane other than the Material Plane. Outsiders have darkvision. Unlike most living creatures, an outsider does not have a dual nature — its soul and body form one unit. When an outsider is slain, no soul is set loose. Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as raise dead , reincarnate , and resurrection , don’t work on an outsider. A different magical effect, such as limited wish , wish , miracle , or true resurrection , is required to restore it to life. An outsider with the native subtype can be raised, reincarnated, or resurrected just as other living creatures can be. Outsiders breathe, but do not need to eat or sleep (although they can do so if they wish). Native outsiders breathe, eat, and sleep. Native:  Native outsiders have mortal ancestors or a strong connection to the Material Plane and can be raised, reincarnated, or resurrected just as other li...

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 ...

The Throat of Shearphorus.  The bellows heard by the heroes are mostly animalistic vents of rage, but there is some Draconic peppered throughout. They picked out a few phrases: “The name! Speak the name!” and “End the torture!” Against these screams, the heroes can determine that a different voice speaks Draconic in a steady tone, and must be very powerful itself to be heard at all at this distance. The heroes are not completely safe from these creatures even at this distance. In their rage, they are actually tearing apart the stone of the pillar above, albeit slowly. Now and then a piece of stone falls. Most of the heroes noticed the falling stones early enough to avoid any possibility of damage, while Zemurin was lucky enough to not be on the stone's path. The spiral path leading upward is similar to the one below. When the heroes took time to recuperate, wings of protection picked up the guardians the heroes had disabled and carried them to the entrance to the pillar. The wing...

Tears of the Forest. The ritual continued:  The acid showers continued and the heroes were subjected to the effects of acid fumes. The acid showers ceased, although the heroes were still subject to the effect of acid fumes. The tendrils withered away, leaving Lephrelourge to fly on his own. Smaller tendrils snaked out of the root-holes and again attempted to wrap around   the heroes. The tendrils withered away soon. The plants supporting Lephrelourge during the ritual partially protected him from melee, and he attacked with his tongue.   Lephrelourge retreated through the plant-wall when gravely injured. He spoke the command word to open the plant-wall ("Witness the Forest Fall", spoken in Draconic), and used it to close the wall behind him. The heroes decided not to pursue and break through the door instead. During that effort, tendrils again appeared. The plant-wall separating this chambers from the Emerald Graveyard twisted open momentarily, and then closed again. The ...
