The Inscription reads as follows:


"Four Paths to Glory
Four paths to doom.
Four paths to minarets
the keys to my tomb"

"Replace the Four Minarets
From the places now hidden
and you may then enter
to my tomb you are bidden"

"Be valiant and Faithful
There is always a way
And if you survive it
You'll have glory this day"


One of the minarets has already been inserted into the model, and one of the portals is dark.

The remaining there display the following images


A Crystal minaret rests on a crystal island, as red clouds form a storm around it.

A Crystal Minaret rests on a red satin pillow

A Crystal Minaret lays at the feet of a crying woman. She is absolutely motionless.

[Grek]

Random guesses as to what lies behind the various portals: Vampire Storm Giant, Succubus Harem and Weeping Angel Statues.

[Wrex]

Do note that you are all still level 7 for the moment, thanks.

[Grek]

OK, on the TODO list for Grek:

Redo all of my zombie summons to have half as much HD as I thought they did. This means:

Zombie Hippogriffs - Replaces the current Zombie Manticore slot.
Zombie Manticores - Dropped from the summon list.
Zombie Mantis  - Dropped from the summon list.
Zombie Pyrohydra - Convert to Skeleton.
Zombie Squid - Dropped from the summon list. Replace with something else.
Zombie Frost Worm - Convert to Skeleton.

Frost w;forms have skeletons?

Anyways, what happened last night?

Anyways, what happened last night?

* Hans takes a deep breathe

We argued for about forty minutes about what to do, and finally decided to dig the hole and hide in it. As we're sitting there, the ceiling collapses in to reveal three yugoloths. We handily defeat them (I got a 20-20 crit roll. :3) and find out that the stones have been stolen. We rush to the Grand Hall, to find the stones stuck in a pillar and the door open. We jack the stones, and rush inside to find... A bunch of dead guilders and another door. Behind door #2 is a big room with an Iron Phoenix inside it. We have a bit of a moment where we try to figure out how to defeat it, then realize we can just walk past it. We get on the dais it was protecting, and descend to a level with the four portals and the little model of the tomb. Now we have to find the other three minarets and fix the model, then we can hunt down Trifakas, Pawnis, and the other guy. Steve or Jerry or whatever. After that, we had a little Backstory infodump moment where Rosun suggested Asraen's mother was a harpy, then Rosun got worried Asraen was going to try to sleep with him. Also, Elesse and Clarissa played 'Who's the scarier one' and Clarissa tied... With Asraen. Also, Raiss helped Asraen with a joke setup, so the world is definitely coming to an end soon.

* Hans gasps for air.

Also, you got hit by a stray spell and you're a girl now.

[GreatWyrmGold]

What was the joke, has my brain been healed, and how did you know Drak was a girl?

[Caellath]

By the way, Elesse identified the crystal island with red clouds as one of the layers of the Abyss. We should totally head there.

[Taricus]

Just one question: The abyss is home to the lawful evil demons, or the chaotic evil demons?

[Grek]

Abyss is chaotic evil demons. Baator is lawful evil devils.

[Taricus]

Oh sweet, let's go there then! I got an anti-chaotic outside weapon and I wanna lop some heads off!

[GreatWyrmGold]

All demons are CE, silly!

And let's avoid the plane of horrible monsters, horrible torture, tortured monsters, and general horror.

[Caellath]

But we may find one of Elesse's relatives! If it has more tentacles than you can readily count and a visage that provokes will saves, then it's probably one of his distant cousins.

[GreatWyrmGold]

And I'm sure it would be glad to see her travelling with a haf-celelstial paladin and a silver-blooded kobolds, amongst others.

[Hanslanda]

What was the joke, has my brain been healed, and how did you know Drak was a girl?

It was a joke, and your brain is nearing fully healed. Also, you aren't a girl, as far as Asraen is aware. He didn't go rummaging about in your netherparts, if that's what you mean.

And I'm sure it would be glad to see her travelling with a haf-celelstial paladin and a silver-blooded kobolds, amongst others.

Asraen is relatively open-minded. If Elesse started hugging a Marilith and saying, "Oh Great Aunt Suzy, I haven't seen you in YEARS! What's Uncle Gelli and the brood up to these days?" Asraen would probably be like, "Nice ta meetcha, I'm a paladin, but we're currently dealing with something eviler than you, so you and me are cool."
