Deep Down into the Mines
You all have been answered the call for adventurers that went out in Alexandria. A miner from one of the more remote older khazad mines came stumbling into Soldier's Defense suffering from sickness. Weak and barely able to get out his story of the mine being invaded by something. He was delirious and suffering from a very high fever. All he got out was, 'Sparkling Black Stars...they were everywhere." So you've all been sent out to the remote mine, it takes a full 3 days travel by foot. The outside of the mine is looks normal so there is nothing to prevent you from going in. It's dark as is to be expected in a mine, every so often there will be a mana lamp lighting the way.
Down, down, down you go deep into the earth. It seems that these khazad were digging very deep. Occasionally you'll see the sign of disregarded tools, shovels, picks, an overturned empty cart. Still deeper you go into the mines as it's just a long tunnel. There is the occasional off-shoot, but it leads to a dead end after 50 feet or so. Just when you are about to give up you can all hear the faint sound of tapping.
<OOC> Faileh says, "How is the lighting situation in here? If it is dark I'd be carrying out a torch."
<OOC> Faileh says, "Like the distance between the lamps are adequate, or should I be carrying torch, is my question."
<OOC> Cesran says, "It's mostly dark, occasionally you'll see a mana lamp but the deeper you go the less mana lights there are yes eventually you'll have to need a light source."
<OOC> Faileh nods and poses :D Thanks.
Tim, the portly elf, seems to be unhappy with all the walking, at least its downhill...for now. Going back up of the mine is too horrible for Tim to consider. He puffs a bit now and then, in between snacking on bits of cheese and bread he carries in a magic backpack. He has cast a bit of magic to create a light, and it illuminates the top of his head.
<OOC> Tim says, "Casting Mage armor"
GAME: Tim casts Mage Armor. Caster Level: 4 DC: 18
<OOC> Cesran gotcha.
As they made their way into the mine, Faileh straps his shield to his arm and strikes a torch. His weak human eyes need the flames to lead the way. They crackle as the torch burns but once the taps are distinguishable from the torch, he stops.
Brianna doesn't really like being underground. Others have made lights though so she doesn't need to make one of her own. She does have her dragonspitter in one hand that is connected to the death ray on her back by a strange cord or tube. She watches around as they go.
<OOC> Cesran says, "Anyone that wants to roll perception can."
GAME: Brianna rolls perception: (13)+9: 22
Fayde has good lowlight vision, but is carrying a torch anyway as he descends with the group. He sniffs mildly at the moldy air, his brow furrowed as he comments, "I miss the stars already..." He grumbles a little and huffs, hating that the enclosed environs makes smoking a bad idea.
GAME: Fayde rolls perception: (19)+6: 25
GAME: Faileh rolls perception: (9)+6: 15
GAME: Tim rolls perception: (14)+8: 22
The deeper you go the louder the tapping gets. It's constant and sharp pitched. And you can all tell from the rhythm of the tapping, it's not coming from a single source, but multiple sources. As you round a corner you can all see a light up ahead the same direction the tapping is coming from. As you head towards the light you can see the walls and the ceiling are sparkling, but it's a dark sparkle.
Looking towards the others, Faileh tosses the torch he holds aside. He slowly draws his longsword as to minimize the sound it makes, keeping his eyes focused on the deep sparkling light ahead.
Brianna mutters to herself, "And there came a tapping...like a rap rap rapping at my door." she shakes her head a bit, "Mining still going on?" she asks as she thinks about it. She is looking at the sparkling.
Tim grunts faintly, "Well, I really doubt its mining. Maybe someone’s trapped, or maybe it’s some kind of critter. We won't know until it tries to kill and/or eat us."
<OOC> Cesran says, "Anyone who has it can make a craft/artifice roll"
Fayde has his dagger at the ready, the dull shine of the adamantine implement reassuring him in the close quarters. "I have a hard time imagining people still mining after that fellow..." He shakes his head a little.
GAME: Brianna rolls craft/artifice: (14)+11: 25
You paged Brianna with 'You can know that the dark sparkling are from very very small amounts of Nethercite.'
Brianna blinks a bit and moves over closer to the walls and reaches up, examining a bit closer, "Well that is not good." she shakes her head a bit, "Nethercite. If someone is harvesting that, it’s not good."
Fayde shakes his head a little at Bri's explanation, "What's Nethercite?" He's obviously never heard of it.
Faileh hasn't said much up until this point of the trip, but at Brianna's revelation he simple says, "Huh?" It caught him off guard and for the moment his focus is on her and not what's ahead of them.
<OOC> Tim says, "Is craft/artifice the only way to know about nethercite?"
<OOC> Cesran says, "You can do a knowledge/arcana as well"
GAME: Fayde rolls knowledge/arcana: (7)+6: 13
GAME: Tim rolls knowledge/Arcana: (13)+13: 26
You paged Tim with 'You know what Nethercite is.'
You paged Fayde with 'You've heard the word before, but you don't know what it is exactly.'
<OOC> Faileh has neither.
Tim grimaces and nods, "Alright, so something moved in on the miners for this. Could be anything, cause this stuff is worth more than an entire city. Are we somehow merging with the plane of earth? I didn't know you could find this stuff on Gaea."
Brianna shakes her head as she is asked, "It’s the antithesis to magicite. It absorbs magic, its...just bad." she says and is surprised still to see it given how rare it is."
<OOC> Cesran says, "Moving on?"
<OOC> Brianna says, "ok"
Tim pages: How would I assume this is going to affect my spellcasting.
You paged Tim with 'As long as you don't touch it or cast spells at it you should be okay'
Fayde hrms a bit, "Can we safely take samples of this? I might know a few people who'd give a lot to study this, given what you say it is..."
Tim backs away, not wanting it near him.
<OOC> Cesran says, "So as long as you don't touch it or cast spells at the tiny tiny gems of nethercite spell casting won't be affected."
Faileh shakes his head and asks, "Is it poison?" The look on his face is one of confusion. It seems he has been spurred into inaction as he doesn't seem to understand what's going on.
Brianna looks at them, "It can drain magic by touch, or if things are cast at it." she shakes her head, "I wouldn't take any." she says and then she starts to move on, "Let’s find out who or what is behind this."
<OOC> Cesran says, "FF a bit ahead?"
<OOC> Fayde is good for it.
Seeming to agree with the action, Faileh follows along behind Brianna as she moves ahead. He ignores the stuff on the wall and instead focuses on what's ahead again.
<OOC> Tim says, "ff is fine"
<OOC> Faileh just realized FF is fast-forward, and is always fine.
Fayde shrugs a little in mild disappointment and makes to follow the group along once more, leaving the nethercite where it’s at.
As you get to the light you can see that mana lamps have been set up so that a four khazad in manacles can see what they are doing. They are guarded by four goblins that look a bit off although they have their shortswords and shields on them. They stare blankly at the khazad work on. Towards the back is a shrouded figure working over a body on a slab. "Soon...soon you'll rise." Above him on the wall is a basketball sized of nethercite.
Brianna frowns and takes cover so she can get a better look.
<OOC> Fayde says, "I'm guessing we have the drop on these guys and are therefore free to charge in? Necromancy is bad and goblins are ugly. This is a nest is evil, period."
<OOC> Cesran says, "Yes you do for the moment."
Tim had just been taking another bite of cheese when they spot the scene. He sighs softly to himself, putting the cheese away and waiting for the worst to happen. He holds back, ready to see what the rest of the group does. Fat men do not rush into battle often.
Doesn't know if he was being sneaky or not, as Faileh's gear and armor do clank a bit as he moves. Leveling his sword towards the figure near the slab he begins his rush forward as those around him do their thing. Fayde gestures meaningfully as he douses his torch, setting it on the ground and making an effort to quietly brush dirt over it to snuff it. He isn’t stealthy but he doesn’t mean to ruin it for those who are.

With opportunity at hand, Faileh rushes in towards the man doing mysterious things to the body at the slab. Shield forward and ready for action, but seems to mistake his distance in the dark. He lashes out with a grunt and the blade merely cuts a thread of clothing on the figure, not actually doing anything.
<OOC> Fayde says, "So everyone is more than 5 feet from each other"

<OOC> Tim says, "Can I hit anything with a glitterdust and not get faileh?"
Fayde raises a hand with a glare when he sees everyone else just charging in. He gestures vaguely with his free hand and it outlines in silvery light as a pair of shimmering darts lance forth to tag the shrouded figure squarely in the back of his head." The Silver Lady does not approve of necromancers."
<OOC> Cesran says, "You could get the shrouded figure"

Tim mutters something briefly as one of the team runs up and gets into the fray, but he turns his aim to the big baddie and tosses out some arcane chants and glitter. It explodes on the thing, but doesn't do much more than outline him well.

Brianna lifts her pistol as she moves closer. Greenish light moves down the tube from the death ray to the pistol and then she fires and misses. Nothing spectacular seems to happen.
One of the goblins looks up and shambles towards Faileh. It moves an an almost agonizingly slow pace as it moves up to Faileh.

Being in the middle of the action with glitterbombs and laser-light shows, Faileh raises his shield and swings his sword menacingly. Unfortunately, it doesn't connect with anything and is just being swung around. At least he looks like he is protecting himself from the approaching doom.
<OOC> Cesran says, "Go for it"

Fayde is thankful for having the drop on this little convention of stink. He fires off another blast at the garbed person that’s moderately less effective.
GAME: Fayde rolls will: (14)+7: 21
<OOC> Cesran says, "Success!"
<OOC> Fayde says, "Phew."
The shrouded figure tries to wipe off the glitter that is making it sparkly. It growls as its hit twice with magic missile. It casts a spell and points a decrypted finger at Fayde, "Fall!" Fayde will feel the urge to fall prone on the ground, but is able to shake the spell off. The shrouded figure pulls its hand back.

Tim moves ahead slowly, watching the fighting going on ahead of him. Seems they likely should have brought more muscle and less magic. He gestures and tosses out another bit of magic...which seems to also have little to no effect as the shady fellow refuses to slip in the grease. "Damnit." he mutters.

<OOC> Cesran says, "No"
From behind his shield, Faileh fights on in a defensive manner. Gross little figures being defended against as he becomes surrounded. In a moment, Faileh's blade flashes out and cuts deep into one of them, it looked like it may have had more potential, but it wasn't ineffective for sure. He begins to breathe a little more heavily as the fighting continues, eyes growing wide.

Fayde takes a step forward in a menacing manner, his eyes shimmering with arcana as he looses another magic missile, "Don't test my will, maggot..." His frustration from the attempted compulsion seems to have actually lent more weight to his bolts as a bit more bite strikes home with his latest volley.
The shrouded figure is hit again and he moves forwards towards the others. He starts to cast another spell and he intones, "Bane on all of the living." A dark energy expands out from him and engulfs everyone.

Brianna raises her pistol yet again, the last two times she tried this the bullets missed and did nothing. This time though. The green light flows down the tube to the pistol. Her titan armor is glowing in lines along it as it is energized to make her more agile. She lifts her pistol and fires aiming for a vulnerable spot. This time the bullet flies forward and hits the cowled one. There is an explosion as it hits as well, covering him in acid as the death ray charge finally goes off. It really seems to hurt the guy as well.

Froth begins forming at the corner of Faileh's mouth as he lets go of the pretense of being defensive. His eyes dart towards the blade still sheathed on his back rapidly as he begins to really put forth the effort to attack. Grunts and growls emanate from him as he attacks the foul creatures. His blade connects true again with the one he wounded previously and sends it to the afterlife, if it wasn't already dead, and to an inanimate state if it was.

<OOC> Cesran says, "So there is a 20 ft half sphere of darkness around where the ghoul was."
Fayde grits his teeth as his feels a shiver from the negative energies radiated forth. He curses in undercommon then raises his voice as he takes another step forward as if emphasizing the by now familiar silvery spell that slams home, "I told you, /don't/ test my will! Surrender or die!"

<OOC> Cesran says, "Faileh you are up!"
<OOC> Faileh ponders and asks, "Am I able to rage, drop current weapons, grab the sword on my back and attack?"
And there is darkness. Well doesn't that beat all. Not to be outdone Brianna pulls out something from one of her pouches and slaps it onto the arm of her armor. There is a reddish glow that runs up the magicite in the armor and she steps into the darkness. There is a whooshing sound like a flamethrower though the darkness hides most everything else. There is a burning smell, and a sizzle with a pop.
<OOC> Cesran says, "Yes. Let me check to see if you draw an AoO"

Faileh has had enough it seems, as his shield and sword drop from his hands. A shout from deep within is let out as his hands reach grabbing the large sword on his back. The blade glimmers in the ambient light as it comes out of its scabbard. The sound of wind gushes as he swings it wildly at one of the goblins surrounding him, unfortunately that is all that happens.

Fayde raises his hand up higher as he channels his innate arcana in a more primal fashion than he has been so far this fight, his hand seeming to caress the air as a hissing sound emerges from above somewhere in the darkness. "Hiding does you no good, we'll just flush you out. Give up while you can."

There is some dark deep chanting and from the darkness a wave of negative energy washes over everyone in the mine. The khazad in chains cry out and one of them falls over. The goblin that was injured looks much better. The darkness moves away from the others laughing a forced wheezing cackle.

Blood dripping from tiny wounds as the warrior is surrounded, Faileh has given into rage. The large blade going for one of the goblins which had taken a position to flank him. The swing is not a joke as it connects with the creature and chops it in half, sending the parts and gore against the far wall.

Fayde is breathing a little heavy, the exhilaration from all of his spell casting beginning to take its toll. Then he feels the burn of the wave of negative energy washes over him and he stumbles, gathering himself back together he withdraws a bottle from his belt.

Brianna tries again, there is not much else to do at the moment and Faileh does look like help might be needed. She raises her pistol, the green energy flowing again from her death ray and then she fires. The bullet flies and strikes the goblin exploding into acid as one of her earlier shots did against the cowled one. The goblin falls even as acid eats away at flesh.

The cuts which were once small have opened up on Faileh, pouring blood forth from the wounds created by the goblins and enlarged by the waves of dark magic. He takes a swipe at the goblin but fails to do anything more than create splitting wind noises. Jumping back he sprints away from the darkness, taking another blow to the back from the goblin. From the looks of things, it is surprising he is even still on his feet.

The darkness moves back towards the group and then drops so that the shrouded figure can be seen again. It doesn't look too good as it's been burn both by fire and acid. It points a finger at Brianna and it intones, "Flee!" Brianna will feel the inescapable amount of fear and want to run away from the shrouded figure as fast as possible.
Fayde is now good and recovered to pick back up on his arcane offensive. He recommences with style, his left hand shimmering silver as he caresses the air overhead to create a blur in the air over the zombie goblin that gives way to a shower of crimson celestial sparks that pummels and scorches its flesh until it slumps to the earth.

GAME: Cesran rolls 1d20+12: (7)+12: 19
<OOC> Fayde says, "So close..."
Seeing Brianna head for it, Faileh knows what he must do. Gripping his sword tightly he begins running at full speed towards the shrouded being. "Mother." he says at almost a whisper as he charges forward. Lashing out he looks like he is going to do something epic, but doesn't. Missing spectacularly the bloodied warrior now stands toe to toe with the menace.
As the darkness clears, the youthful sorcerer Fayde looks to the haggard and cowled creature and utters, "We can see you again." He then raises his hand directly and emits the by now very familiar twin streaks of silvery light that form his magic missiles.
<OOC> Tim says, "Ok, apparently I'm being called to work for a bit. I'll try to be on from my phone when I get there."
<OOC> Fayde says, "Corrected"
The magic missiles drive the shrouded figure back and knocks his hood off. His face is a twisted visage of rage and undead as you gaze upon a Ghast. He is hurt badly, "You'll never win...fools I'll bury you with me." He turns and aims his hand at the basketball sized Nethercite. He casts a spell and the Nethercite shatters. The Ghast laughs as the cave starts to rumble and the khazad drop their tools and start to run up the best they can with manacles, "Cave in! Get out of here!" The khazad miners say as they are carrying one of their own. A large rock drops from the ceiling and crashes where the khazad were at.

Fayde shakes his head, "You're the fool!" He thrn turns and makes to follow Brianna as best he can, taking the time to try and use his last magic missile on the manacles of one of the miners. "Run faster!"
<OOC> Faileh has 5 rounds of raging left and doesn't want to take a free shot from him as he retreats, is also going to go under once rage wears off.

<OOC> Cesran says, "But you scoop them up on the way out"
<OOC> Cesran says, "go ahead and pose running Faileh then I'll do a wrap up"
Seeing the madness unfold in front of him, Faileh puts away his sword and begins to sprint out the way they came. As he passes over the goblins corpses he grabs his longsword and shield, and uses the shield to protect him from the falling debris. Will alone keeps him on his feet and the remaining adrenaline of his rage.
You all run through the darkness the mana lamps streaming past you as the cave and then tunnel collapse behind you. After a minute of flight Faileh will come out of his rage and collapse, but with help from one of Brianna's contraptions they get him back on his feet. After another ten minutes of running the destruction of the tunnel has finally stopped. As the group starts the long climb back to the surface, he khazad explain that they found a relatively large deposit of nethercite but it drew the attention of the Ghast and his zombies. They were made to mine for more nethercite as the Ghast planned to use it for something neferious no doubt. Once out of the mines you are all able to get back to the city with the miners.
<OOC> Cesran says, "And that's it."
