Tujan the Prison Isle

[Barrigan]

The bodies outside had clearly been killed by animals as their wounds bore the hallmarks of teeth rather than blades. Once inside the prison it became clear what had caused them. The beasts were grotesque, as though something had started to turn them inside out and stopped halfway. Argent's innate care and respect for the natural world meant he was repulsed by the idea of experimenting on living creatures or whatever had been done to turn a loyal dog into a monstrosity like that.

"This is disgusting. Part of me hopes these creatures ate whoever did this to them. At least that would be some justice in all this carnage."

He glanced past Deianara into the kitchen before moving to the next door along the same wall and opening it, mundane senses searching for any sound or movement while his magical senses were alert for the presence of evil as well. There might be dead dogs and dead guards everywhere but something must still be alive in this place and it likely wasn't friendly.

Racial SLA: Detect Evil (at will)

I'm not completely clear how this works. The description says it is a 60ft cone which can be concentrated on and maintained for up to 10 minutes, but then also mentions using it on an area and being able to detect things outside your line of sight. I'm assuming it means he's got a 60ft cone of evil detection coming out of his horn and can wave it around in the direction his head is looking for 10 minutes to search the area and it can detect things on the other side of walls. Is that right?

Finn gives up on counting the bodies, mostly since some were so mangled that it was hard to recognize they were, guards or prisoners. He carefully opens the kitchen door and enters inside looking around, mostly to avoid the large open space of the area around it, and planning to exit to one of the doors on the South. At Devon's comment, he shrugs.

"Why are you sure prisoners did this to dogs? They are obviously more effective in putting down the prey like this, it could be just another security measure. Guards lost control, let loose pooches, and doggies went nom, nom. After all, we saw that they don't discriminate between guards and prisoners...and us most likely. We spent way too much time devising the strategy instead of asking the good doctor a few more questions about her operation here."

Deianara follows Finn as he makes his way through the kitchen. "They made it seem like people could still be okay. But this is a complete massacre." Deianara doesn't feel one way or another about the state of the prison. She had already expected the worst. Only, the worst seems to have actually happened.

"As for the dogs, I doubt they were already in this condition while working with the guards. Unless you think that retractable pole was used on the prisoners..." The more Deianara thought about it, the less strange it seemed to her. She had no previous knowledge of the inner workings of this Asylum. "I wonder if the doctor of this place wasn't into these sorts of experiments himself. I mean, he'd have had plenty of test subjects just handed over to him."

Strunthal gathers up what he finds. He pulls out an empty sack form his pack and puts everything except the keys, notebook and pencil in it and then puts it back in his pack. A she follows the others out he takes a quick look in the notebook to see if anything interesting was written there. If there is anything interesting in it, he calls out and lets the others know. If not then he tucks it away and gets on with the job.

The kitchen was no different than the main hall, two dead bodies with the same bite marks were found.

Argent picks up some slurping sounds from around the central structure, the SLA he is using begins to pick up an aura.

Finn also hears the faint noise, he moves out with arcane energy bristling across his fingers.

[paladinred]

 

Amyly moves into the hall and the sight of so many dead brings a tear to her eye, she whispers a prayer to Mistress Mhontez, the loving mother of healing. Watching as some detect sound, Amyly raises her crossbow.

3 abominations move into view, sniffing at a corpse, they do not seem to have noticed you.

Argent spotted the abominations which had once been dogs as they rounded the corner. They did not seem to have noticed the group yet so he took the opportunity to prepare himself for battle.

A brief glimmer shone at the tip of his horn and a faint ripple moved down from its point, passing over his body until his entire form was sheathed in a protective barrier.

Preparations complete the draconic unicorn lowered his head, eyes narrowed and shining horn aimed at the lead enemy. His hoofed back leg pawed restlessly at the ground while his clawed forelimbs dug into the flagstones ready to propel him forward once the fight was on.

   A vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth from your hand, causing creatures to become stunned, perhaps also blinded, and possibly knocking them unconscious.
   
   Each creature within the cone is affected according to its Hit Dice.
   2 HD or less: The creature is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious.)
   3 or 4 HD: The creature is blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, then stunned for 1 round.

   Duration: 1 round/level (D)
   Saving Throw: See text
   Spell Resistance: No
   
   A grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the area when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or fall. This save is repeated on your turn each round that the creature remains within the area. A creature can walk within or through the area of ,i>grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Balances check. Failure means it can't move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Balance skill for details).
   
   The DM should adjust saving throws by circumstance. For example, a creature charging down an incline that is suddenly greased has little chance to avoid the effect, but its ability to exit the affected area is almost assured (whether it wants to or not).
   
   The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item-a rope, ladder rungs, or a weapon handle, for instance.
   
   Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while an object wielded or employed by a creature receives a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made in each round that the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased item. A creature wearing greased armor or clothing gains a +10 circumstance bonus on Escape Artist checks and on grapple checks made to resist or escape a grapple or to escape a pin.

   Duration: 10 min./level (D)
   Saving Throw: Reflex negates; see text
   Spell Resistance: No
   
   Web creates a many-layered mass of strong, sticky strands. These strands trap those caught in them. The strands are similar to spider webs but far larger and tougher.
   These masses must be anchored to two or more solid and diametrically opposed points—floor and ceiling, opposite walls, or the like—or else the web collapses upon itself and disappears. Creatures caught within a web become entangled among the gluey fibers. Attacking a creature in a web won't cause you to become entangled.
   Anyone in the effect's area when the spell is cast must make a Reflex save. If this save succeeds, the creature is entangled, but not prevented from moving, though moving is more difficult than normal for being entangled (see below). If the save fails, the creature is entangled and can't move from its space, but can break loose by spending 1 round and making a DC 20 Strength (G,A) check or a DC 25 Escape Artist check. Once loose (either by making the initial Reflex save or a later Strength (G,A) check or Escape Artist check), a creature remains entangled, but may move through the web very slowly. Each round devoted to moving allows the creature to make a new Strength (G,A) check or Escape Artist check. The creature moves 5 feet for each full 5 points by which the check result exceeds 10.
   If you have at least 5 feet of web between you and an opponent, it provides cover. If you have at least 20 feet of web between you, it provides total cover (see Cover, page 150).
   The strands of a web spell are flammable. A magic flaming sword can slash them away as easily as a hand brushes away cobwebs.
   Any fire—a torch, burning oil, a flaming sword, and so forth—can set the webs alight and burn away 5 square feet in 1 round. All creatures within flaming webs take 2d4 points of fire damage from the flames.
   Web can be made permanent with a permanency spell. A permanent web that is damaged (but not destroyed) regrows in 10 minutes.

   A cloud of golden particles covers everyone and everything in the area, causing creatures to become blinded and visibly outlining invisible things for the duration of the spell. All within the area are covered by the dust, which cannot be removed and continues to sparkle until it fades.

Feats / Abilities

FEATS FLAW: Expeditious DodgeExpeditious Dodge [GENERAL] You're good at avoiding attacks while moving quickly. Prerequisites: Dex 13 Benefit: When you move 40 feet or more in a single turn, you gain a +2 dodge bonus to your Armor Class until the beginning of your next turn. Special: Expeditious Dodge can be used in place of the Dodge feat to qualify for a feat, prestige class, or other special ability. A fighter may select Expeditious Dodge as one of his fighter bonus feats. Source: Races of the Wild (RW)(RotW) FLAW: False FocusFalse Focus You can use a divine focus to cast arcane spells. Prerequisite: Knowledge (religion) 1 rank, ability to cast arcane spells. Benefit: By using a divine focus as part of casting, you can cast any spell with a material component costing the value of that divine focus (maximum 100 gp) or less without needing that component. For example, if you use a silver holy symbol worth 25 gp, you do not have to provide material components for an arcane spell if its components are worth 25 gp or less. The casting of the spell still provokes attacks of opportunity as normal. If the spell requires a material component that costs more than the value of the divine focus, you must have the material component on hand to cast the spell, as normal. Normal: A divine focus has no effect when used as a component in arcane spells. Source: Pathfinder(Pathfinder) Wizard 1: Scribe ScrollScribe Scroll Human: Able LearnerAble Learner [RACIAL] You have a great aptitude for learning.
