The Scythe and the Forge: Smuggler's Run

[Blue Jay]

((Why can't I edit my posts!? I don't understand this stupid website!))

Warriors

The warrior is not pushed back by Gaius's pulse, and he heedlessly rushes at Cufwell with his greatsword swinging:

Greatsword (atk;dmg)

The other "warrior" spreads his great draconic wings wide and roars. With has jaws wide open, a burst of purplish energy explodes from his maw. The dragon lunges forward (5ft step) and thrashes his head back and forth, wielding his breath weapon like a great blade.

((Yes, I gave it a breath weapon, even though it's a polymorph effect. Purple dragons have a special breath weapon that lets them wield it like a sword. It only deals half damage in this form, but the dragon gets iterative attacks with it, in addition to its secondary natural attacks. The breath blade attacks are melee touch attacks.))

Cufwell Greenskin

Statblock

AC 29 (Touch 16 FF 24)

HP -40ish/270

Cufwell takes the huge greenskin down quickly, but watches in horror as his death throes take down Tanu; "No!" he roars, "What have you done?"

He watches the warrior change form to a dragon and calls out to the world at large;

"You should know by now I am not scared by that!"

His eyes glaze over as he begins to succumb to the murderous rage he holds in check most of the time, the sight of his fallen friend and the threat to the others too great for him to maintain control.

 

However, the dragon-man is too quick and Cufwell's body slumps to the floor pouring blood from multiple, deeps wounds; he reaches towards his best friend as the light fades from his eyes.

Terry fights back against the dragon that thought it could stand before him, trading blow for blow with the polymorphed man.

Special Attacks: Brutal GrabAs the SRD Improved Grab ability, applied to the tarrasque's bite attack, except it may attempt to grapple creatures of any size.

Improved Grab: If a creature with this special attack hits with a melee weapon (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. No initial touch attack is required.
Unless otherwise noted, improved grab works only against opponents at least one size category smaller than the creature. The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use the part of its body it used in the improved grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a -20 penalty on grapple checks, but is not considered grappled itself; the creature does not lose its Dexterity bonus to AC, still threatens an area, and can use its remaining attacks against other opponents. A successful hold does not deal any extra damage unless the creature also has the constrict special attack. If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the creature's descriptive text). When a creature gets a hold after an improved grab attack, it pulls the opponent into its space. This act does not provoke attacks of opportunity. It can even move (possibly carrying away the opponent), provided it can drag the opponent's weight.

Devouring Bite: The tarrasque can try to swallow a grappled opponent two or more size categories smaller than it by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent takes 1d8+1/2 str modifier points of crushing damage plus 1d8+Con modifier points of acid damage per round from the tarrasque’s digestive juices (both damages increase accordingly when the tarrasque grows in size). A swallowed creature can cut its way out by dealing damage to the tarrasque’s digestive tract (AC 10+Con modifier) equal to his HD+Constitution score (not modifier). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. The tarrasque’s gullet can hold two creatures two size smaller than him, or eight creatures three sizes smaller than him, or 32 creatures four sizes smaller than him, and so on.

In addition, the tarrasque now ignores freedom of movement effects when using this and its improved grab ability., RushOnce per minute the Tarrasque can quadruple his base for one round as a free action., Improved GrabIf a creature with this special attack hits with a melee weapon (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. No initial touch attack is required.
Unless otherwise noted, improved grab works only against opponents at least one size category smaller than the creature.

A swallowed creature can cut its way out by dealing damage to the tarrasque’s digestive tract (AC 10+Con modifier) equal to his HD+Constitution score (not modifier). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. The tarrasque’s gullet can hold two creatures two size smaller than him, or eight creatures three sizes smaller than him, or 32 creatures four sizes smaller than him, and so on.

In addition, the tarrasque now ignores freedom of movement effects when using this and its improved grab ability., StompAs a standard action a number of times per day equal to his Con modifier the tarrasque may slam the ground he stands in, creating a shockwave that makes the ground tremble, twist and crack forming dangerous spikes. This works as an Entangle SLA except that there's no need for presence of plants, the duration is permanent, the radius of the effect is equal to the Tarrasque's space and the area of effect must be in contact with the Tarrasque when it's started, but the Tarrasque himself it's immune to its effect. Save DC 10+1/2 HD+Str modifier.

At 8 HD the Tarrasque may use this ability as a move action(but no more than 1/round).
At 12 HD the Tarrasque may use this ability as a swift action.
At 16 HD the Tarrasque may use this ability as a free action even if it isn't its turn but only once per round.
At 20 HD the Tarrasque can use this ability at will, but only once per round. It adds two times his Str modifier to the DCs instead of just once., Primal RoarThe tarrasque can roar with such strength it creates waves of impact that bring down everything above him. A number of times per day equal to his Con modifier, as a move action (but no more than 1/round) the Tarrasque can roar, affecting all creatures in a range of 100 foot per HD (the tarrasque may reduce this radius if it wishes). The primal roar extends to the ethereal plane itself affecting ethereal creatures.
Flying creatures (and objects like airships and flying islands) affected by the primal roar are mercilessly brought down to near the ground stopping 10 foot above it. Creatures may try to fly higher again after landing but they'll be brought down again at the beginning of their next turn while the roar lasts. This affects even the Tarrasque himself of he somehow was flying.
The primal roar keeps echoing and every creature affected suffers the same effects for 1 round after it roars. If the Tarrasque is in an area where there is no discernible “ground” like the elemental plane of water or most of the ethereal plane then creatures fall towards the Tarrasque itself slamming on it's hard body but without dealing it damage.
At 12 HD the tarrasque may roar as a swift action. At 18 HD it may roar as a free action any number of times per day it wants (but still just once per turn).[/ooc], [ooc=Devouring Bite]The tarrasque can try to swallow a grappled opponent two or more size categories smaller than it by making a successful grapple check.

In addition, the tarrasque now ignores freedom of movement effects when using this and its improved grab ability., Reality TearThe tarrasque's natural weapons now ignore all DR that can be bypassed by something. DR/- is only half as effective, and the tarrasque's natural weapons now benefit from a permanent ghost touch effect., Tail SlapThe tarrasque gains a tail slap natural weapon dealing 2d8 base damage as secondary attack. The Tarrasque can perform a whirlwind attack with it's tail as a standard action even if it doesn't have the necessary feats.

Whirlwind Attack: [General]
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Int 13, Combat Expertise, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: When you use the full attack action, you can give up your regular attacks and instead make one melee attack at your full base attack bonus against each opponent within reach.
When you use the Whirlwind Attack feat, you also forfeit any bonus or extra attacks granted by other feats, spells, or abilities.
Special: A fighter may select Whirlwind Attack as one of his fighter bonus feats., TrampleAs a full-round action, the tarrasque can move up to twice its speed and literally run over any opponents at least one size category smaller than itself. The tarrasque merely has to move over the opponents in its path; any creatures whose space is completely covered by the trampling creature's space is subject to the trample attack. If a target's space is largfer than 5 feet, it is only considered trampled if the trampling creature moves over all the squares it occupies. If the trampling creature moves over only some of a target's space, the target can make an attack of opportunity against the tarrasque at a -4 penalty.
This deals bludgeoning damage equal to 4d6+1,5 Str modifier (changes acordingly to size). Trampled opponents can attempt attacks of opportunity, but these take a -4 penalty. If they do not make attacks of opportunity, trampled opponents can attempt Reflec saves to take half damage, save DC 10+1/2 HD+Str modifier.
You can only deal trampling damage to each target once per round, no matter how many times its movement takes it over a target creature., EarthquakeThe tarrasque's might is such that it can crack the earth itself simply by stomping its feet as a standard action. This works as an earthquake SLA, useable a number of times per day equal to the tarrasque's Con modifier and using Str for the save DC. The tarrasque itself suffers no ill effects from it.

When you cast earthquake, an intense but highly localized tremor rips the ground. The shock knocks creatures down, collapses structures, opens cracks in the ground, and more. The effect lasts for 1 round, during which time creatures on the ground can’t move or attack. A spellcaster on the ground must make a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) or lose any spell he or she tries to cast. The earthquake affects all terrain, vegetation, structures, and creatures in the area. The specific effect of an earthquake spell depends on the nature of the terrain where it is cast.
Cave, Cavern, or Tunnel
The spell collapses the roof, dealing 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage to any creature caught under the cave-in (Reflex DC 15 half) and pinning that creature beneath the rubble (see below). An earthquake cast on the roof of a very large cavern could also endanger those outside the actual area but below the falling debris.
Cliffs
Earthquake causes a cliff to crumble, creating a landslide that travels horizontally as far as it fell vertically. Any creature in the path takes 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage (Reflex DC 15 half) and is pinned beneath the rubble (see below).
Open Ground
Each creature standing in the area must make a DC 15 Reflex save or fall down. Fissures open in the earth, and every creature on the ground has a 25% chance to fall into one (Reflex DC 20 to avoid a fissure). At the end of the spell, all fissures grind shut, killing any creatures still trapped within.
Structure
Any structure standing on open ground takes 100 points of damage, enough to collapse a typical wooden or masonry building, but not a structure built of stone or reinforced masonry. Hardness does not reduce this damage, nor is it halved as damage dealt to objects normally is. Any creature caught inside a collapsing structure takes 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage (Reflex DC 15 half) and is pinned beneath the rubble (see below).
River, Lake, or Marsh
Fissures open underneath the water, draining away the water from that area and forming muddy ground. Soggy marsh or swampland becomes quicksand for the duration of the spell, sucking down creatures and structures. Each creature in the area must make a DC 15 Reflex save or sink down in the mud and quicksand. At the end of the spell, the rest of the body of water rushes in to replace the drained water, possibly drowning those caught in the mud.
Pinned beneath Rubble
Any creature pinned beneath rubble takes 1d6 points of nonlethal damage per minute while pinned. If a pinned character falls unconscious, he or she must make a DC 15 Constitution check or take 1d6 points of lethal damage each minute thereafter until freed or dead.

Special Qualities: Ancient BodyThe tarrasque loses all other racial traits and becomes a medium sized magical beast with all the related traits(basically darkivision 60 foot and low light vision). It has a base speed of 40 foot and a natural bite attack dealing 1d10+1.5 Str modifier damage, and the scent ability. It has claws and tail although they're too weak to do anything for now. It is incapable of fine manipulation but it can talk in a guttural deep primal voice. It automatically knows the common language and one extra language of it's choice for each point of Int bonus.

It also gains a bonus to natural armor equal to his Con modifier+2. Whenever the Tarrasque grows in size it's natural armor grows by an extra +1.

Scent This extraordinary special quality allows a creature to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. Creatures with the scent ability can identify familiar odors just as humans do familiar sights.
The creature can detect opponents within 30 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 60 feet; if downwind, it drops to 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range.
When a creature detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed--only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a move action to note the direction of the scent.
Whenever the creature comes within 5 feet of the source, the creature pinpoints the source's location.
A creature with the Track feat and the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom (or Survival) check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10 (no matter what kind of surface holds the scent). This DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry's odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Creatures tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.
Water, particularly running water, ruins a trail for air-breathing creatures. Water-breathing creatures that have the scent ability, however, can use it in the water easily.
False, powerful odors can easily mask other scents. The presence of such an odor completely spoils the ability to properly detect or identify creatures, and the base survival DC to track becomes 20 rather than 10.[/ooc], [ooc=Assimilation]The tarrasque is an avatar of doom, not only destroying everything in his wake but growing stronger as he does so.

As a full-round action the tarrasque may eat an unattended piece of magic equipment, in which case it is destroyed and it's essence assimilated into the tarrasque's body. This essence then forms special scales on the surface of the body of the tarrasque corresponding to the item slot of the original item granting the magic bonus of the assimilated item (if any). Magic weapons absorbed transfer their magic enchantments to a natural weapon of the tarrasque's choice (use the natural weapon basic stats). Enchantments that only work on ranged attacks don't benefit the tarrasque. Armor and shield bonuses apply to the tarrasque's natural armor. Charged items keep their old number of charges and can be used the normal number of times as long as the activation method was simple like a command word. As usual, equipment bonus of the same type don't stack and the tarrasque can't have two assimilated items corresponding to the same body slot.

Basically, this ability allows the tarrasque to use equipment but keeping a monster look. The magic scales have all the vulnerabilities of normal magic items except that pulling them off demands winning a Strength check against the tarrasque.

The tarrasque may remove his own magic scales without harm, at which point he loses their bonus and the scales crystallize into exotic gems that are worth as much as the original magic item.*Removing enhanced scales produces enhanced gems that may be traded at full value to create a new piece of gear with improved enhancements.

Otherwise they are worth half their market price when sold, as standard loot., MonstrosityThe tarrasque gains regeneration equal to half the tarrasque's HD, which can only be bypassed by critical hits(including coup de grace).

In addition, the tarrasque can enter personal extradimensional spaces like rope trick and mage's magnificent mansion.

Benefit: Select one Humanoid or Animal of Medium or smaller size and 1 HD or less.

Your appearance in this form is always the same (i.e. Alternate Form: human lets you become a specific human, not humans in general).
Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Its effects stack. Each time you choose a different form. You may switch between your alternate forms without returning to your natural form.

Dragon vs Terry

((2 hits. Unfortunately, its grapple modifier is higher than +44, so those grapples won't succeed. 89 damage, though.))

Terry attempts to intercede and draw the dragon's attention away from Cufwell, but the dragon seems pretty determined to get those hits in. Even as Terry retaliates and shreds into the dragon with his claws, the dragon cuts Cufwell down. And unlike every other time you've seen a friend and companion die, this time, Cufwell's body stays in place, laying on the ground in a pool of blood, just a few paces away from the body of Tanu.

Dragon 443/532 hp

As Cufwell's last breath escapes his lips, there's a strange pulse of magic that washes over the battlefield. The whole landscape roils and buckles, trees topple and the sky seems to flicker. There's a strange feeling of anguish that fills the sky. The dragon briefly shifts back into the form of the hapless humanoid adventurer, and the alien color in his eyes drains away. He looks around in panicked confusion for a moment.

You hear a single voice whisper, but it reverberates around the demiplane: "Cufwell Greenskin!"

Then, with the determined roar of a man pushing through an incredible mental barrier, the world asserts itself again: the sky reforms over the broken landscape, the man shifts painfully back into his dragon form and howls a draconic howl of pain and anger, and refocuses its angry eyes on Terry.

Cufwell

This isn't the first time Cufwell has died. As a seasoned Tavern adventurer, Cufwell is accustomed to the weird, cosmic vertigo of soul and body separating. However, in most cases, his soul was immediately pulled into a functional copy of his body, seated at the Realm Folded Tavern. This time, he just remains suspended in that vertigo, with silver lights and swirling colors all around him. He can tell that his soul is suspended in some kind of limbo between destinations, with the inescapable tingling in the back of his mind telling him that he's supposed to scooting off somewhere else. And yet, he's not scooting.

Suddenly, something forces its way into his mind, and there's a sharp pain. He's never had the sensation of a wedge being used to split his skull apart, but he imagines that this is what it feels like. But the pain is more than just pain: it's some kind of message, some kind of attempt at communication. Cufwell gets the feeling that someone is trying to control him, to take his mind away from him. It's asserting ownership over him.

The voice becomes semi-coherent, but it seems to split into many copies of itself, all talking over each other and saying strange things:

"You're mine!" it says, "You're mine! I own you! Did you read the fine print!? Mine! You're finished! It's over for you! I told you not to do it! Why didn't you listen!"

Each voice sounds like the Barkeeper's voice, but strained and rabid, and delivered at a variety of different volumes and intensities, like some of them are nearby, while others are farther way. And each word hurts like another blade pressing further into Cufwell's skull. "You should have listened! Don't you understand! You've ruined everything! I won't let this happen! This wasn't meant to be! You can't have it! I OWN you!! Read the fine print!"

Though it all, Cufwell hears the sound of a distant dog barking. And across the swirling distance of weird magic in this cosmic no-man's-land, he sees Tanu, desperately trying to run to his side, but unable to make any progress.

"This is the end! How could you do this!?"

Then, another voice cuts in, soft as a whisper, but crystal clear in Cufwell's ears:

"So, that's the answer then?" Ukumalei says, "I understand now. Hold on, Cufwell!"

Meanwhile, back on the Demiplane

As the animated tree crashes to the ground around her, Naomi looks across the battlefield, just in time to see Cufwell fall to the onslaught of a great dragon. Then, she hears Ukumalei's voice in her head: "Take care of him, Naomi" she says, "I have other things that require my attention." @paladinred

In the cave, Oswald's spells and infusions continue to bolster him, and he looks over as magic begins swirling from elemental weird. She flings it across the room with a word of power, and the rubble of the Forge of Xhosfar lifts and turns about in the air. Stone restitches to stone, and coals are scooped from the ground and deposited back in the basin. A final chiming sound, and the brief flash of a rune on the stone, and the Forge of Xhosfar is reformed, sliding neatly back into its place on the grotto floor. The coals in the basin flare back to life. "Hurry, Oswald! We still need that Scythe!"

Terry and Jarren also hear Ukumalei's whispers in their ears. "Hold steady: you need to give Oswald the time he needs. Stop that dragon!"

 

[Sylas]

There was a voice in his head.

He hadn't felt one in years, but there it was.

It felt ... warm. Not familiar, but certainly not aggressive.

But it made such an odd request. Only that he should 'stop' that dragon. But Terry didn't do things in half-measures, he would meet this fake dragon head-on, and make this day one that this man, polymorphed against his will or not, one he could never forget.

 

Crunch

Huh. mislabeled that third counter, should've been countering the claw, not a third breath he didn't take (and didn't include a counter-wing or counter-tail, but missed opportunity and all that).

Anyhow. Now it's Terry's turn to FRA.

Might as well call it out too, pull out all the stops, Doom: Will save DC 32 or be shaken for 1 round. Failing the save by 10 or more leaves the creature panicked.

.... Also, in case that dragon decides to attempt to grapple him because of it's grapple mod.... he's got FoM via ring.

 

edit: ... three crits (and one being the *big* bite). I guess the diceroller listened and melted that bad die.

(and he's absolutely maxed out his Destroyer bonus for next round, that's for certain)

Special Attacks: Brutal GrabAs the SRD Improved Grab ability, applied to the tarrasque's bite attack, except it may attempt to grapple creatures of any size.

Improved Grab: If a creature with this special attack hits with a melee weapon (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. No initial touch attack is required.
Unless otherwise noted, improved grab works only against opponents at least one size category smaller than the creature. The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use the part of its body it used in the improved grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a -20 penalty on grapple checks, but is not considered grappled itself; the creature does not lose its Dexterity bonus to AC, still threatens an area, and can use its remaining attacks against other opponents. A successful hold does not deal any extra damage unless the creature also has the constrict special attack. If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the creature's descriptive text). When a creature gets a hold after an improved grab attack, it pulls the opponent into its space. This act does not provoke attacks of opportunity. It can even move (possibly carrying away the opponent), provided it can drag the opponent's weight.

Devouring Bite: The tarrasque can try to swallow a grappled opponent two or more size categories smaller than it by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent takes 1d8+1/2 str modifier points of crushing damage plus 1d8+Con modifier points of acid damage per round from the tarrasque’s digestive juices (both damages increase accordingly when the tarrasque grows in size). A swallowed creature can cut its way out by dealing damage to the tarrasque’s digestive tract (AC 10+Con modifier) equal to his HD+Constitution score (not modifier). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out. The tarrasque’s gullet can hold two creatures two size smaller than him, or eight creatures three sizes smaller than him, or 32 creatures four sizes smaller than him, and so on.

In addition, the tarrasque now ignores freedom of movement effects when using this and its improved grab ability., RushOnce per minute the Tarrasque can quadruple his base for one round as a free action., Improved GrabIf a creature with this special attack hits with a melee weapon (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. No initial touch attack is required.

The tarrasque’s gullet can hold two creatures two size smaller than him, or eight creatures three sizes smaller than him, or 32 creatures four sizes smaller than him, and so on.

In addition, the tarrasque now ignores freedom of movement effects when using this and its improved grab ability., StompAs a standard action a number of times per day equal to his Con modifier the tarrasque may slam the ground he stands in, creating a shockwave that makes the ground tremble, twist and crack forming dangerous spikes. This works as an Entangle SLA except that there's no need for presence of plants, the duration is permanent, the radius of the effect is equal to the Tarrasque's space and the area of effect must be in contact with the Tarrasque when it's started, but the Tarrasque himself it's immune to its effect. Save DC 10+1/2 HD+Str modifier.

At 8 HD the Tarrasque may use this ability as a move action(but no more than 1/round).
At 12 HD the Tarrasque may use this ability as a swift action.
At 16 HD the Tarrasque may use this ability as a free action even if it isn't its turn but only once per round.
At 20 HD the Tarrasque can use this ability at will, but only once per round. It adds two times his Str modifier to the DCs instead of just once., Primal RoarThe tarrasque can roar with such strength it creates waves of impact that bring down everything above him. A number of times per day equal to his Con modifier, as a move action (but no more than 1/round) the Tarrasque can roar, affecting all creatures in a range of 100 foot per HD (the tarrasque may reduce this radius if it wishes). The primal roar extends to the ethereal plane itself affecting ethereal creatures.
Flying creatures (and objects like airships and flying islands) affected by the primal roar are mercilessly brought down to near the ground stopping 10 foot above it. Creatures may try to fly higher again after landing but they'll be brought down again at the beginning of their next turn while the roar lasts. This affects even the Tarrasque himself of he somehow was flying.
The primal roar keeps echoing and every creature affected suffers the same effects for 1 round after it roars. If the Tarrasque is in an area where there is no discernible “ground” like the elemental plane of water or most of the ethereal plane then creatures fall towards the Tarrasque itself slamming on it's hard body but without dealing it damage.
At 12 HD the tarrasque may roar as a swift action. At 18 HD it may roar as a free action any number of times per day it wants (but still just once per turn).[/ooc], [ooc=Devouring Bite]The tarrasque can try to swallow a grappled opponent two or more size categories smaller than it by making a successful grapple check.

DR/- is only half as effective, and the tarrasque's natural weapons now benefit from a permanent ghost touch effect., Tail SlapThe tarrasque gains a tail slap natural weapon dealing 2d8 base damage as secondary attack. The Tarrasque can perform a whirlwind attack with it's tail as a standard action even if it doesn't have the necessary feats.

Whirlwind Attack: [General]
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Int 13, Combat Expertise, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, base attack bonus +4.
Benefit: When you use the full attack action, you can give up your regular attacks and instead make one melee attack at your full base attack bonus against each opponent within reach.
When you use the Whirlwind Attack feat, you also forfeit any bonus or extra attacks granted by other feats, spells, or abilities.
Special: A fighter may select Whirlwind Attack as one of his fighter bonus feats., TrampleAs a full-round action, the tarrasque can move up to twice its speed and literally run over any opponents at least one size category smaller than itself. The tarrasque merely has to move over the opponents in its path; any creatures whose space is completely covered by the trampling creature's space is subject to the trample attack. If a target's space is largfer than 5 feet, it is only considered trampled if the trampling creature moves over all the squares it occupies. If the trampling creature moves over only some of a target's space, the target can make an attack of opportunity against the tarrasque at a -4 penalty.
This deals bludgeoning damage equal to 4d6+1,5 Str modifier (changes acordingly to size). Trampled opponents can attempt attacks of opportunity, but these take a -4 penalty. If they do not make attacks of opportunity, trampled opponents can attempt Reflec saves to take half damage, save DC 10+1/2 HD+Str modifier.
You can only deal trampling damage to each target once per round, no matter how many times its movement takes it over a target creature., EarthquakeThe tarrasque's might is such that it can crack the earth itself simply by stomping its feet as a standard action. This works as an earthquake SLA, useable a number of times per day equal to the tarrasque's Con modifier and using Str for the save DC. The tarrasque itself suffers no ill effects from it.

Earthquake
Evocation [Earth]
Level: Clr 8, Destruction 8, Drd 8, Earth 7
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)
Area: 80-ft.-radius spread (S)
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: See text
Spell Resistance: No
When you cast earthquake, an intense but highly localized tremor rips the ground. The shock knocks creatures down, collapses structures, opens cracks in the ground, and more. The effect lasts for 1 round, during which time creatures on the ground can’t move or attack. A spellcaster on the ground must make a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level) or lose any spell he or she tries to cast. The earthquake affects all terrain, vegetation, structures, and creatures in the area. The specific effect of an earthquake spell depends on the nature of the terrain where it is cast.
Cave, Cavern, or Tunnel
The spell collapses the roof, dealing 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage to any creature caught under the cave-in (Reflex DC 15 half) and pinning that creature beneath the rubble (see below). An earthquake cast on the roof of a very large cavern could also endanger those outside the actual area but below the falling debris.
Cliffs
Earthquake causes a cliff to crumble, creating a landslide that travels horizontally as far as it fell vertically. Any creature in the path takes 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage (Reflex DC 15 half) and is pinned beneath the rubble (see below).
Open Ground
Each creature standing in the area must make a DC 15 Reflex save or fall down. Fissures open in the earth, and every creature on the ground has a 25% chance to fall into one (Reflex DC 20 to avoid a fissure). At the end of the spell, all fissures grind shut, killing any creatures still trapped within.
Structure
Any structure standing on open ground takes 100 points of damage, enough to collapse a typical wooden or masonry building, but not a structure built of stone or reinforced masonry. Hardness does not reduce this damage, nor is it halved as damage dealt to objects normally is. Any creature caught inside a collapsing structure takes 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage (Reflex DC 15 half) and is pinned beneath the rubble (see below).
River, Lake, or Marsh
Fissures open underneath the water, draining away the water from that area and forming muddy ground. Soggy marsh or swampland becomes quicksand for the duration of the spell, sucking down creatures and structures. Each creature in the area must make a DC 15 Reflex save or sink down in the mud and quicksand. At the end of the spell, the rest of the body of water rushes in to replace the drained water, possibly drowning those caught in the mud.
Pinned beneath Rubble
Any creature pinned beneath rubble takes 1d6 points of nonlethal damage per minute while pinned. If a pinned character falls unconscious, he or she must make a DC 15 Constitution check or take 1d6 points of lethal damage each minute thereafter until freed or dead.

Special Qualities: Ancient BodyThe tarrasque loses all other racial traits and becomes a medium sized magical beast with all the related traits(basically darkivision 60 foot and low light vision). It has a base speed of 40 foot and a natural bite attack dealing 1d10+1.5 Str modifier damage, and the scent ability. It has claws and tail although they're too weak to do anything for now. It is incapable of fine manipulation but it can talk in a guttural deep primal voice. It automatically knows the common language and one extra language of it's choice for each point of Int bonus.

It also gains a bonus to natural armor equal to his Con modifier+2. Whenever the Tarrasque grows in size it's natural armor grows by an extra +1.

Scent This extraordinary special quality allows a creature to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell. Creatures with the scent ability can identify familiar odors just as humans do familiar sights.
The creature can detect opponents within 30 feet by sense of smell. If the opponent is upwind, the range increases to 60 feet; if downwind, it drops to 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at triple normal range.
When a creature detects a scent, the exact location of the source is not revealed--only its presence somewhere within range. The creature can take a move action to note the direction of the scent.
Whenever the creature comes within 5 feet of the source, the creature pinpoints the source's location.
A creature with the Track feat and the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom (or Survival) check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10 (no matter what kind of surface holds the scent). This DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry's odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Creatures tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.
Water, particularly running water, ruins a trail for air-breathing creatures. Water-breathing creatures that have the scent ability, however, can use it in the water easily.
False, powerful odors can easily mask other scents. The presence of such an odor completely spoils the ability to properly detect or identify creatures, and the base survival DC to track becomes 20 rather than 10.[/ooc], [ooc=Assimilation]The tarrasque is an avatar of doom, not only destroying everything in his wake but growing stronger as he does so.

As a full-round action the tarrasque may eat an unattended piece of magic equipment, in which case it is destroyed and it's essence assimilated into the tarrasque's body. This essence then forms special scales on the surface of the body of the tarrasque corresponding to the item slot of the original item granting the magic bonus of the assimilated item (if any). Magic weapons absorbed transfer their magic enchantments to a natural weapon of the tarrasque's choice (use the natural weapon basic stats). Enchantments that only work on ranged attacks don't benefit the tarrasque. Armor and shield bonuses apply to the tarrasque's natural armor. Charged items keep their old number of charges and can be used the normal number of times as long as the activation method was simple like a command word. As usual, equipment bonus of the same type don't stack and the tarrasque can't have two assimilated items corresponding to the same body slot.

Basically, this ability allows the tarrasque to use equipment but keeping a monster look. The magic scales have all the vulnerabilities of normal magic items except that pulling them off demands winning a Strength check against the tarrasque.

The tarrasque may remove his own magic scales without harm, at which point he loses their bonus and the scales crystallize into exotic gems that are worth as much as the original magic item.*Removing enhanced scales produces enhanced gems that may be traded at full value to create a new piece of gear with improved enhancements.

Otherwise they are worth half their market price when sold, as standard loot., MonstrosityThe tarrasque gains regeneration equal to half the tarrasque's HD, which can only be bypassed by critical hits(including coup de grace). Also gains resistance to fire, cold, sonic, acid and electricity equal to his HD.

If the Tarrasque somehow becomes immune to critical hits it loses it's regeneration., GrowthThe tarrasque grows one size category. (4), Beginning of the EndThe tarrasque's skin starts to shrug off both sorcery and sword. The tarrasque gains SR=15+HD and DR/- equal to half his HD., Terror from BelowTerror from Below]The tarrasque lurks under earth or water, waiting for his opportunity to strike. It gains a swim speed equal to his base speed and a burrow speed equal to half his base speed. In addition the tarrasque no longer needs to breathe and it can eat anything as sustenance, as well as gaining Tremorsense with a range of 10 feet per HD., Reality BendThe tarrasque's sheer presence is enough to start making the very existence around him twist. The tarrasque gains a permanent mindblank effect and can use plane shift as a SLA 1/day for each 4HD it has, save DC 10+1/2 tarrasque's HD+Con mod.

In addition, the tarrasque can enter personal extradimensional spaces like rope trick and mage's magnificent mansion. Even if the entrance is too small for the tarrasque to fit it can tear it open until large enough simply by moving through it., DestroyerThe tarrasque revels in destruction. For each 10 damage it deals in a turn it gains a +1 luck bonus on attacks, saves and skills on his next turn. The tarrasque can't gain a bonus with this ability bigger than his HD., CarapaceThe tarrasque’s armorlike carapace becomes exceptionally tough and highly reflective, deflecting all rays, lines, cones, and even magic missile spells cast from more than 30 foot away from the tarrasque. There is a 50% chance of reflecting any such effect back at the caster; otherwise, it is merely negated. Check for reflection before rolling to overcome the creature’s spell resistance.

In addition, the tarrasque doubles his DR and resistances against any ranged attack (including but not limited to breath weapons, orbs, fireballs and the such) coming from more than 30 foot away from it., PrevailThe tarrasque revels on violence and destruction, even when inflicted upon itself.

Feats: Alternate Form [Monstrous]Alternate Form [Monstrous]
Benefit: Select one Humanoid or Animal of Medium or smaller size and 1 HD or less. You may take the form of that creature or revert to your own as a full-round action, as with the Alternate Form ability. If the form is Humanoid then some traits of your original form remain (such as unusual ears or a tail), though they are easily hidden from casual observers; if you are frisked you may attempt to conceal them as if they were items on your person, making a Disguise check in place of a Sleight of Hand check (the normal +10 bonus from Alternate Form does not apply). Your appearance in this form is always the same (i.e. Alternate Form: human lets you become a specific human, not humans in general).
Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Its effects stack. Each time you choose a different form. You may switch between your alternate forms without returning to your natural form.
Special: If you select this feat at 1st level you may choose for your alternate form to be considered your true form (meaning that it is shown by true seeing and similar effects). Once you have made this choice it cannot be changed, even if you select this feat again.eed or dead., EnduranceYou are capable of amazing feats of stamina.
Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus on the following checks and saves: Swim checks made to resist nonlethal damage (see page 84), Constitution Checks made to continue running (see page 144), Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from a forced march (see page 164), Constitution checks made to hold your breath (see page 84), Constitution checks made to avoid nonlethal damage from starvation or thirst (see page 304 of the Dungeon Master's Guide), Fortitude saves made to avoid nonlethal damage from hot or cold environments (see pages 302 and 303 of the Dungeon Master's Guide), and Fortitude saves made to resist damage from suffocation (see page 304 of the Dungeon Master's Guide). Also, you may sleep in light or medium armor without becoming fatigued.
Normal: A character without this feat who sleeps in medium or heavier armor is automatically fatigued the next day., Subduing Strike [General]Subduing Strike [General]
You are adept at striking to deal nonlethal damage even with normal weapons.
Benefit: You can use any melee weapon to deal nonlethal damage with no penalty on your attack roll. If you are a rogue, you can deal nonlethal damage with your sneak attack even if you are using a normal melee weapon. This feat does not allow you to deal nonlethal damage with ranged weapons.
Normal: If you use a melee weapon designed to deal lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage instead, you take a –4 penalty on your attack roll. Rogues normally can only use saps or unarmed strikes to deal nonlethal damage with their sneak attacks.
Special: A fighter may select Subduing Strike as one of his fighter bonus feats., Steadfast DeterminationSteadfast Determination
Your physical durability allows you to shrug off attacks that would cripple a lesser person. Rather than depend on agility or willpower, you use your raw toughness to survive.
Prerequisite: Endurance
Benefit: You can use your Constitution modifier in place of your Wisdom modifier on Will saves. You do not automatically fail Fortitude saves on a roll of natural 1., Reactive ResistanceReactive Resistance
Through extensive practice and meditation, you can lower your spell resistance quickly.

Terry vs Dragon

((You were way overdue for some good rolls. I guess you've just been storing them up all this time?))

Terry crashes into the dragon, slashing and chomping and stabbing viciously. Dark, draconic blood sprays everywhere.

Dragon 200/532 hp

Will vs Fear (nope)

For a second, the dragon's eyes clear, and you see in them the human who was transformed into this beast. A sort of feral anxiety shows through, and the dragon shrinks back a little bit, snarling.

Jarren Grayson, the Nightshade

"Cufwell! Tanu! NO!" Nightshade cried, seeing his friends be laid low by the dragon. A look of despair crossed his face, unable to drag his gaze from the brave knight and his most faithful companion. Tears began to sting his eyes, and he bowed his head after a moment.

Hearing the voice of Ukumalei in his head drew his attention away from his bout of grief. There was still hope in their battle. All he had to do was hold on a little longer. Death was closing in on them, but the assassin was prepared to face it head-on. "Father, brother... I will see you soon."

With that, he grasped his blades and plunged back into the fray, attempting to swiftly lay low the warrior who stood above Cufwell's body. The least he can do is protect what remains of his friend, to the bitter end if need be.

Condition

Dark Subtype

• Resistance: Cold 10
• Hide in Plain Sight (Ex)Use the Hide skill even while being observed (except in natural daylight, the area of a daylight spell, or a similar effect).

Rogue/Avenger

• Sneak Attack (+7d6+13)
• Trap Sense (Ex) +1Trap Sense (Ex)
  At 3rd level, a rogue gains an intuitive sense that alerts her to danger from traps, giving her a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps. These bonuses rise to +2 when the rogue reaches 6th level, to +3 when she reaches 9th level, to +4 when she reaches 12th level, to +5 at 15th, and to +6 at 18th level.
  
  Trap sense bonuses gained from multiple classes stack.
• TrapfindingTrapfinding
  Rogues (and only rogues) can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20.
  
  Finding a nonmagical trap has a DC of at least 20, or higher if it is well hidden. Finding a magic trap has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it.
  
  Rogues (and only rogues) can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic traps. A magic trap generally has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it.
  
  A rogue who beats a trap’s DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with her party) without disarming it.
• (Improved) Uncanny Dodge (Ex)Uncanny Dodge (Ex)
  Starting at 4th level, a rogue can react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She retains her Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if she is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, she still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.
  
  If a rogue already has uncanny dodge from a different class she automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.
  
  ---
  
  Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex)
  A rogue of 8th level or higher can no longer be flanked.
  
  This defense denies another rogue the ability to sneak attack the character by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target does.
  
  If a character already has uncanny dodge from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character.
• Evasion (Ex)Evasion (Ex)
  At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.
• Poison UsePoison Use
  Avengers are trained in the use of poison and never risk accidentally poisoning themselves when applying poison to a blade.
• +3 to Saves vs Poison
• Death Attack (DC 21)Death Attack
  If an avenger studies his victim for 3 rounds and then makes a sneak attack with a melee weapon that successfully deals damage, the sneak attack has the additional effect of possibly either paralyzing or killing the target (avenger's choice). While studying the victim, the avenger can undertake other actions so long as his attention stays focused on the target and the target does not detect the avenger or recognize the avenger as an enemy. If the victim of such an attack fails a Fortitude save (DC 10 + the avenger's class level + the avenger's Int modifier) against the kill effect, she dies. If the saving throw fails against the paralysis effect, the victim is rendered helpless and unable to act for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per level of the avenger. If the victim's saving throw succeeds, the attack is just a normal sneak attack. Once the avenger has completed the 3 rounds of study, he must make the death attack within the next 3 rounds.
  
  If a death attack is attempted and fails (the victim makes her save) or if the avenger does not launch the attack within 3 rounds of completing the study, 3 new rounds of study are required before he can attempt another death attack.

Urban Ranger

• Favored Enemy (Human +4) (Gnoll +2) (Ex)Favored Enemy (Ex)
  At 1st level, a ranger may select a type of creature from among those given on Table: Ranger Favored Enemies. The ranger gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills against creatures of this type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon damage (and attack, due to Solitary Hunting) rolls against such creatures.
  
  At 5th level and every five levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th level), the ranger may select an additional favored enemy from those given on the table. In addition, at each such interval, the bonus against any one favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by 2.
  
  If the ranger chooses humanoids or outsiders as a favored enemy, he must also choose an associated subtype, as indicated on the table. If a specific creature falls into more than one category of favored enemy, the ranger’s bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher.
• Urban TrackingUrban Tracking
  You can track down the location of missing persons or wanted individuals within communities.
  
  Benefit
  To find the trail of an individual or to follow it for 1 hour requires a Gather Information check. You must make another Gather Information check every hour of the search, as well as each time the trail becomes difficult to follow, such as when it moves to a different area of town.
  
  The DC of the check, and the number of checks required to track down your quarry, depends on the community size and the conditions:
  
  If you fail a Gather Information check, you can retry after 1 hour of questioning. The game master should roll the number of checks required secretly, so that the player doesn't know exactly how long the task will require.
  
  Normal
  A character without this feat can use Gather Information to find out information about a particular individual, but each check takes 1d4+1 hours and doesn't allow effective trailing.
  
  Special
  A character with 5 ranks in Knowledge (local) gains a +2 bonus on the Gather Information check to use this feat.
  
  You can cut the time between Gather Information checks in half (to 30 minutes per check rather than 1 hour), but you take a -5 penalty on the check.
• Wild Empathy (Ex) (1d20+3)Wild Empathy (Normal)
  A ranger can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.
  
  To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.
  
  The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a -4 penalty on the check.
  
  Wild Empathy (Urban Ranger)
  An urban ranger adds only one-half his class level to wild empathy checks, reflecting his limited connection with the natural world.
• Combat Style (Two-Weapon) (Ex)Combat Style (Ex)
  At 2nd level, a ranger must select one of two combat styles to pursue: archery or two-weapon combat. This choice affects the character’s class features but does not restrict his selection of feats or special abilities in any way.
  
  If the ranger selects archery, he is treated as having the Rapid Shot feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.
  
  If the ranger selects two-weapon combat, he is treated as having the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.
  
  The benefits of the ranger’s chosen style apply only when he wears light or no armor. He loses all benefits of his combat style when wearing medium or heavy armor.
• Improved Combat Style (Two-Weapon) (Ex)Improved Combat Style (Ex)
  At 6th level, a ranger’s aptitude in his chosen combat style (archery or two-weapon combat) improves. If he selected archery at 2nd level, he is treated as having the Manyshot feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.
  
  If the ranger selected two-weapon combat at 2nd level, he is treated as having the Improved Two-Weapon Fighting feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.
  
  As before, the benefits of the ranger’s chosen style apply only when he wears light or no armor. He loses all benefits of his combat style when wearing medium or heavy armor

Swashbuckler

• Weapon Finesse (Ex)A swashbuckler gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat at 1st level even if she does not qualify for the feat.
• Grace (Ex) (+1)A swashbuckler gains a +1 competence bonus on Reflex saves at 2nd level. This bonus increases to +2 at 11th level and to +3 at 20th level. A swashbuckler loses this bonus when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.

Barbarian

• Ferocity (Ex)Ferocity (Ex)
  Once per day, the barbarian can enter a state of adrenaline-fueled fury, increasing both his physical might and his reaction time. He temporarily gains a +4 bonus to Strength and a +4 bonus to Dexterity, but he takes a -2 penalty on ranged attack rolls beyond short range (30 feet).
  
  He can enter this state as an immediate action, even when flat-footed at the start of combat, so he may apply the enhanced Dexterity modifier to his initiative check.
  
  While in a state of ferocity, the barbarian cannot use any Charisma- or Intelligence-based skills (except for Intimidate), the Concentration skill, or any abilities that require patience or concentration, nor can he cast spells or activate magic items that require a command word, a spell trigger (such as a wand), or spell completion (such as a scroll) to function. He can use any feat he has except item creation feats and metamagic feats. Ferocity lasts for a number of rounds equal to 4 + his Constitution modifier (if positive). The barbarian may prematurely end his state of ferocity. At the end of ferocity, he loses the ferocity modifiers and restrictions and become sickened (-2 on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks) for the duration of the current encounter (unless he is a 17th-level barbarian, at which point this limitation no longer applies). Abilities that normally render him immune to being sickened (such as the Strong Stomach feat, Cityscape 64) reduce the penalties to -1, but do not remove them entirely.
  
  The barbarian can invoke ferocity only once per encounter. At 1st level he can use this ability once per day. [0/1]x/day
• Lion TotemRegal and intimidating, the powerful lion is a symbol of nobility among the races of the wild. By selecting him as your spiritual totem, you gain the pounce ability (MM 313).

Shadows of Virtue

• Rank 30 (Nightshade)
• Hire for Lesser ActionA Vigilante gains the ability to hire an agent to perform a simple action. Among these include Urban Tracking/simple intelligence-gathering, stealing an unprotected item, and commandeering small numbers of horses/simple land vehicles. Lethal actions not allowed, and it is up to the DM's discretion as to how successful the agent was. This ability may be used once per mission.
  
  Base cost is 50gp for a level 1 Urban Ranger or Rogue; +100gp per additional level.
• Hire for Greater ActionA Nightwatch gains the ability to hire an agent to perform an advanced action. Among these include kidnapping, infiltrating a dangerous organization, stalking a target for an extended time, stealing important documents (or planting false ones), and commandeering a large convoy or sea vessel. Lethal actions must require a DM's approval, but the result is also to their discretion. This ability may be used once per mission.
  
  Base cost is 100gp for a level 1 Urban Ranger or Rogue; +200gp per additional level.
• Nimble ChargeRun or charge across difficult surface without Balance check
• Nimble StandStand from prone safely (no provoked AoOs)
• Dimension DoorDimension Door
  Conjuration (Teleportation)
  Level: Brd 4, Sor/Wiz 4, Travel 4

  Target: You and touched objects or other touched willing creatures
  Duration: Instantaneous
  Saving Throw: None and Will negates (object)
  Spell Resistance: No and Yes (object)
  
  You instantly transfer yourself from your current location to any other spot within range. You always arrive at exactly the spot desired—whether by simply visualizing the area or by stating direction. After using this spell, you can’t take any other actions until your next turn. You can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed your maximum load. You may also bring one additional willing Medium or smaller creature (carrying gear or objects up to its maximum load) or its equivalent per three caster levels. A Large creature counts as two Medium creatures, a Huge creature counts as two Large creatures, and so forth. All creatures to be transported must be in contact with one another, and at least one of those creatures must be in contact with you.
  
  If you arrive in a place that is already occupied by a solid body, you and each creature traveling with you take 1d6 points of damage and are shunted to a random open space on a suitable surface within 100 feet of the intended location.
  
  If there is no free space within 100 feet, you and each creature traveling with you take an additional 2d6 points of damage and are shunted to a free space within 1,000 feet. If there is no free space within 1,000 feet, you and each creature travelling with you take an additional 4d6 points of damage and the spell simply fails. [0/1]x/day
• Opportunist (Ex)Once per round, the rogue can make an attack of opportunity against an opponent who has just been struck for damage in melee by another character. This attack counts as the rogue's attack of opportunity for that round. Even a rogue with the Combat Reflexes feat can't use the opportunist ability more than once per round.

• Rod of RopesRod of Ropes
  This versatile item meets your every rope-related need.
  
  Crafted from the darkest teak and repeatedly stained until it holds a lustrous black shine, this rod is a sculpted, 18-inch-long baton. Closer inspection (Search DC 15) reveals three barely perceptible concave indentations in the middle third of the rod.
  
  The three indentations act as buttons. Pressing any one of the rod’s buttons requires a move action.
  
  The rod has three functions, each of which can be employed an unlimited number of times. However, no two functions can be used at the same time
  
  Rope: When you press button 1, rope begins to extrude from one end of the rod at the rate of 60 feet per round. The rod can extrude 300 feet of rope in this manner. Pressing the button a second time stops the rope from extruding. Pressing it a third time draws the rope back in, also at a rate of 60 feet per round. Any knot in the rope automatically unties when it comes within 30 feet of the rod. This rope has the same hardness and hit points as the rest of the rod.
  
  Grappling Hook and Rope: When you press button 2, a small leather wrist loop springs from one end of the rod and three sharp grappling hooks sprout from the other end. Pressing the button again launches one-third of the rod (the end with the three hooks) in the direction you aim it. A length of rope up to 300 feet long trails behind the launched section and connects it with the end you hold; all 300 feet of rope can discharge in 1 round. The rope stops unreeling if the hooks strike something solid (including a creature) or if you give the rod a quick backward jerk. Pressing the button a third time retracts the rope, drawing the held end toward the hooked end if it is secured properly. The retracting feature can pull up to 1,000 pounds with it, drawing up 60 feet of rope per round. The rope has the same hardness and hit points as the rest of the rod. This function can be used to attack and push back opponents within 30 feet (beyond that distance it lacks sufficient power). On a successful ranged attack (no range increment) the hooked end deals 1d6 points of damage. The force of the blow is considerable, and those struck by it are subject to a bull rush effect (treat the hooked end as having a +5 bonus on its opposed check). The hooked end cannot pursue a pushed opponent.
  
  Grappling Hooks and Slide: When you press button 3, three sharp grappling hooks sprout from each end of the rod. Pressing the button again launches the two ends of the rod (each one-third of its length) in opposite directions simultaneously. A length of rope up to 300 feet long trails behind each launched section and connects it with the middle third you hold (all 600 feet of rope can discharge in 1 round). The grappling hooks work exactly as described above, including the possibility of bull rushing opponents. Pressing the button a third time causes part of the middle section to expand slightly in diameter and slide freely along the extruded rope. The slide can be released from the remaining part of the middle section by squeezing it to loosen it. Two hand loops allow you to slide down the rope if it is at an angle. Regardless of the angle of the rope or the load on it (up to 1,000 pounds), if attached firmly the rope does not sag. Pushing any button a second time returns the rod to its previous (unactivated) state.

• Corsair's EyepatchCORSAIR'S EYEPATCH
  Price (Item Level): 3,000 gp (7th)
  Body Slot: Face
  Caster Level: 3rd
  Aura: Faint; (DC 16) divination
  Activation: Swift (command)
  Weight: —
  A leather strap and a bit of hardened leather and krenshar hide make up this menacing black eyepatch.
  
  Despite its name, the improved visual acuity provided by a corsair's eyepatch is equally useful to landlubbers. Wearing this eyepatch has no negative impact on your eyesight—it appears completely transparent to you. While you wear a corsair's eyepatch over your left eye, activating it grants you the ability to use see invisibility (as the spell) for 1 round. While you wear it over your right eye, activating it grants you the benefit of the Blind-Fight feat for 1 minute. Moving the eyepatch from one eye to another requires a move action that doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity.
  
  A corsair's eyepatch functions a total of three times per day.
  
  Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, see invisibility.
  Cost to Create: 1,500 gp, 120 XP, 3 days.

  Activation: —
  Weight: 3 lb.
  Each of these burnished metal bracers is adorned with grinning skull set with onyx stones in its eye sockets.
  Bracers of murder grant you a +2 profane bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls against flat-footed targets.
  If you have the death attack ability, the save DC to resist your death attack increases by 2.
  If you have sneak attack or sudden strike, reroll any result of 1 on the dice.
• Cloak of the BatCloak of the Bat
  
  Fashioned of dark brown or black cloth, this cloak bestows a +5 competence bonus on Hide checks. The wearer is also able to hang upside down from the ceiling, like a bat.
  
  By holding the edges of the garment, the wearer is able to fly as per the spell. If he desires, the wearer can actually polymorph himself into an ordinary bat and fly accordingly. (All possessions worn or carried are part of the transformation.) Flying, either with the cloak or in bat form, can be accomplished only in darkness (either under the night sky or in a lightless or near-lightless environment underground). Either of the flying powers is usable for up to 7 minutes at a time, but after a flight of any duration the cloak cannot bestow any flying power for a like period of time.
  
  Moderate transmutation; CL 7th; Craft Wondrous Item, fly, polymorph; Price 26,000 gp; Weight 1 lb.

  A pewter chime hangs from this simple leather ankle-band.
  
  An anklet of translocation allows you to make short dimensional hops. When it is activated, you can instantly teleport (with no chance of error) up to 10 feet. The new space must be within line of sight and line of effect.
  
  You can't use the anklet to move into a space occupied by another creature, nor can you teleport into a solid object; if you attempt to do so, the anklet's activation is wasted. You can bring along objects weighing up to your maximum load, but you can't bring another creature with you.
  
  An anklet of translocation functions two times per day.
  
  Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, dimension door.

  Lore: Though originally created for wealthy socialites who wanted to avoid wearing the same gown to the gala, shiftweave is also useful to spies and assassins (Knowledge [nobility and royalty] DC 10).
  
  Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, disguise self.
  
  Cost to Create: 250 gp, 20 XP, 1 day.
• Handy HaversackHandy Haversack
  
  A backpack of this sort appears to be well made, well used, and quite ordinary. It is constructed of finely tanned leather, and the straps have brass hardware and buckles. It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a bag of holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds.
  
  While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power in addition. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains. Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a move action, but it does not provoke the attacks of opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does.
  
  Moderate conjuration; CL 9th; Craft Wondrous Item, secret chest; Price 2,000 gp; Weight 5 lb. 

Active Effects: Nondetection (7 hours), Gift of Grace+3 bonus to all saving throws for the rest of the day (until end of day); Conviction (130 minutes); Bear's Endurance (13 minutes); Freedom of Movement (70 minutes); Shield (1 minute)

Oswald Magismith, the Magical Artisan

The coin Oswald retrieved a moment ago while casting his spell was not just to illustrate his point. He cups the coin in his hand before opening his hands, the coin suspended in the air between them with arcane glyphs swirling around it. With his expertise and abilities in mere moments Oswald rapidly writes out the glyphs needed for the next spell, slamming his hands shut around the coin to infuse them into the coin. "Almost ready."

Actions: Rapid Infusion feat to use the Spell Storing Item as a 3rd level infusion to turn the coin into a makeshift scroll of Magecraft, at the cost of 13 XP.

Thorn will continue to move closer to Oswald, to BJ-30. Gaius will move just behind where Cuffwell fell and attack the enemy fighter.

Oswald

One more round of preparation for Oswald. Outside, his constructs move to guard Cufwell's limp body and help in the fight against the dragon.

Demiplane

The demiplane seems to be cracking again, and you can practically feel the Barkeeper's desperation as he focuses his magic directly around you. "Cufwell's soul is mine now! I can use him! I will succeed! Everything can back to normal after this. Everything except... YOU!"

Healing energy rains down on the dragon, and it regains 150 hp.

Around you, the land starts trembling and rumbling.

Ukumalei's voice apparates in Naomi's mind: "Don't listen to him, Naomi: he hasn't succeeded yet. Bring Cufwell back! Oswald is almost ready: we just have to hold on for a few more seconds." ( @paladinred )

Naomi raced to Cufwell snatched the gem from her pouch and began to cast the spell that would return his soul to his body, the spell would take a whole minute but he would be back and that was what counted.

Naomi

 Naomi rushes towards Cufwell's body and drops to her knees, preparing to cast her spell. She feels some extra magic waft her way from Ukumalei's direction, and her spell is quickened.

There's something odd in the magic, though. It's almost as if something exterior to her is resisting her. "Not like this!" the Barkeeper's increasingly deranged voice says, "It won't work! This won't end well! You can't do this!"

 

Cufwell

In this weird between space, Cufwell feels the magic of Naomi's spell reaching out to take hold of him. He also feels the magic of the Tavern working hard to keep him right where he is. It's almost as if the Barkeeper has some kind of claim on Cufwell's soul... or, somehow Cufwell's soul has become intertwined with the Tavern. The Tavern is... dependent on his soul now?

The magic of the resurrection spell is beckoning him back to the land of the living.

The magic of the Tavern is trying to get him to stay.

He hears Ukumalei whisper to him: "You have choice to make, Cufwell."

"Cufwell, think it through!" the Barkeeper's voice says, "Don't do this! Don't leave me! We can go back to the way things used to be! Your soul is forever bound to the Tavern now: this is where it belongs! If you rise from the dead now, without using the Tavern's magic, things can never be the way they used to be! Not for you, or for me. You'll throw it all away! Remember all the times we've had together at the Tavern? All the enemies we've overcome and victories we've won? Together? All of that will have been for nothing!"

Ukumalei speaks again: "It's your choice, Cufwell: what do you want? He's not telling you the whole story. He realizes he made a mistake, and now the Tavern is dependent upon you, upon your soul. You are the first Tavern adventurer to reach the final milestone, and his arrangement didn't account for this. It may destroy him."

"That's not true, Cufwell! I've always been good to you, haven't I? But now I need you! Think of the good the Tavern does for the Multiverse! Only I know how to operate it! Only I can continue it forward! If you join me, I can keep it stabilized for all these other adventurers, forever!"

"I think Rhaelira knows another way, Cufwell. The omens are not clear, but I think she does. But it's your choice: you can give up your soul to the Tavern, and it will return to what it used to be. This all may happen again, the next time an adventurer reaches your level of cultivation. Or, you can answer Naomi's call, break the Barkeeper's influence, and we can look for another way to save the Tavern. What's your choice, Cufwell?"

"Yes, choose! Choose me, Cufwell! Save me!"

(( @Delia2531, what's Cufwell's choice? Lose your soul to save the Barkeeper and spare the Tavern temporarily? Or return to life to help your companions, potentially ending the Barkeeper, then hope that Rhaelira's secret shows another way to save the Tavern more permanently?))

(( @DragonFriend, if you're doing the big roll this round, take a +2 (Aid Another) from Ukumalei.))

Dragon

The dragon seems to be going feral. Its resolve bolstered by the healing spell, it launches itself wholeheartedly at Terry.

Cufwell floats in the void, as is suspended in warm soup, Tanu floats nearby watching him intently as if she understands the voice just as clearly as he does; What do you think girl? We've trusted Rhiannon to get this far; I think we have to trust her entirely?! Unsure how to solve his immediate problem, this is way beyond his understanding of the world and the planes, he simply calls out;

"I came to the Tavern of my own free will, I've worked for the Tavern of my own free will, I am not of the Tavern nor the Tavern of me. My soul is mine, and mine alone; I will act of my own free will. Oswald, Jarren, do what needs to be done! We act with the best of intentions and the best for the Tavern at heart; if we are wrong then may the gods forgive us and our corpses be buried well!"
