Despite the pain running through her body, Khali examines the images as closely as she can in the urgent situation.
OOC:
The spoiler describes what she determines. By the way, I accidentally said the wrong position in my last post. I edited it and fixed it in green.
[ +- ] The Images

Khali manipulates the green framed picture to ground level and runs to it. She tests to see if its a portal by sticking her hand into it.

Khali's finger tips begin to move through the image of the Ierendi tournament. If Anlo were looking he would not see her fingertips on the other side of the image; he would see them disappearing into the image. Even so, as soon as her fingers start to push through the invisible magic membrane the image ripples and pushes her hand out. Trying again, she cannot push her hand into the image at all, it then feels solid. The red energy swirling around the other four images intensifies.

"Move them around, see if you can get them all green?" Anlo calls, glancing back but trying to keep his eyes on the new statue or golem or... whatever it was.
OOC:
Dodge action.

Khali realizes her mistake, remembering tales of the Great Calamity; Rain of Fire happened in the past and the Nithian Empire/Culture was also in the past. She arranges them as C,B,E,D,A and hopes that works.

Upon Khali's last rearrangement of the images, some swirling energy rings change color. Two remain red.

Position 1: Image C - The Great Rain of Fire
Position 2: Image B - First Ierendi Settlement
Position 3: Image E - Ancient Nithia
Position 4: Image D - Recent Tournament
Position 5: Image A - The Grand Conjunction

Another statue becomes animated on the wall and drops into the bubbling liquid. Also, the level of the liquid seems to be rising; When ANlo and Khali entered the hall, it was five feet lower than the platform they stand on. But now it's more like four feet below their level.

Golem 1 steps up to Anlo and raises its heavy arm up ready to bash him...
Golem 2 pulls itself up onto the platform.
Golem 3, who just dropped into the acid, pulls a stone up from under the liquid and heaves it at Khali.

Stats
Anlo – Current HP: 23, Temp HP: 0, Superiority Dice: 2/4

Rolls

Golem 3: Ranged Attack, Bludgeon Damage, Acid Damage - (2d20L1+6, 1d4, 1d4)

2d20L1+6 : (1418) + 6 = 20

1d4 : (2) = 2

1d4 : (4) = 4

Golem 2: Bash Attack, Bludgeon Damage - (2d20L1+6, 1d10)

2d20L1+6 : (111) + 6 = 7

1d10 : (2) = 2

Anlo dodges the golem's heavy arm.

Khali on the otherhand gets hit with a heavy thrown rock for 2 point of damage. Now she must pass CON save DC 10 to avoid 4 more points of acid damage from the acid dripping off the stone that hit her. ROLL WELL! FINGERS CROSSED!

OOC:
Since I wasn't given the opportunity before the roll may I use her portent to turn the golem's roll into a 4? Hopefully that will result in a miss.

OOC:
Sure Sky. Yes, you may. I suspected you were going to use that 4 😉 Calling it before the rolls is difficulty sometimes with PbP.
(Just thought you were going to use it for the acid CON roll, but avoiding the entire attack with it is even better.

I'll change Khali's HP back to her whopping 5

"No pressure, but we need to hurry!" Anlo shouts as he dodges around the golems attacks.
Jul 26, 2024 5:16 pm
Khali quickly switches Image B with Image E, swearing to herself for not remembering her history like she should. Then, like before, she tests Image D to see if its more stable this time.
"Anlo!"
just to get his attention to where she's attempting to leave from.

All five images are now surrounded by swirling green energy.

This time Khali can push her entire hand easily into the image. She feels her whole body could step through it.
Jul 26, 2024 8:26 pm
When Khali calls for him, Anlo glances to her then begins moving toward her position while watching the golems and their rocks.
Jul 27, 2024 11:29 pm
Moments after all the images swirl with green energy, the massive doors at either end of the hall both begin to swing open with a loud mechanical sound.

As Anlo slips away from Golem 1, he sees it attempt to grab him between two heavy stone arms. The other two golems--one still trudging through the bubbling acid--slowly but steadily make their way toward Anlo and Khali.
OOC:
The golem near Anlo gets the OA rolled below, but otherwise the two of you can make it through the portal Khali has pulled down... that is, if you desire to do so.


...okay Roll says Anlo evades the golem's grip

Rolls

Golem 1: Bash Attack, Bludgeon Damage - (2d20L1+6, 1d10)

2d20L1+6 : (204) + 6 = 10

1d10 : (9) = 9

Seeing that Anlo is aware, Khali steps through the portal!
OOC:
She's low on HP, has no healing potions and her player feels like we are over our heads lol.

OOC:
Thanks for saying Ma. I kinda assumed that’s what you wanted to do.

Sorry to you both for the wait. It’s summer camp season at my music school so I’ve busy trying to keep up with everything on that front and haven’t been on top of DMing as much as I should be. I’ll post something later tonight.

OOC:
No worries! I just wanted to clarify I wasn't staying with the golems... although if we're displaced in time I have a whole new list of concerns! Lol

Khali steps through the portal and is followed by Anlo who evades the slow moving Golems.

From Anlo's perspective, he steps into an area that surrounds him with only nondescript grey swirling mists. He cannot see anything beyond 5 feet in all directions, including the direction he just came from. He can see Khali, though, just a few feet in front of him.

Khali on the other hand looks around in all directions at a boundless space. See realizes that she can peer into any direction and see a place she has been before in the distance. In fact, that is all she sees, everywhere, all the places she has ever been. She feels the warm energy of the headband active on her brow, and realizes that she could find a path that leads to anywhere she has memory of.

OOC:
Awesomeness! Can she see Anlo?
