Ahead lies the great light that...

[Nephrite]

Ah... thank you for asking!

He's going to switch his aura to the SR piercing one, everyone gets +19 on SR checks.

[Anastasia]

"Got him!" Sylvie cries as she lets loose a barrage of blows, letting loose.

5 ref saves omitted because Sylvie can't fail them and that's apparent now.

Sylvie's blows rip into the regenerating arm, shards exploding whereever her punches and kicks land. With a cry, a diving kick cleaves through the arm, the mass of stone shards plummeting down and away.

Chance to react before Cresiel's turn.

[spoiler]

+21 to attack and weapon damage
+12 competence bonus to Strength, Constitution and Charisma
+23 to crit confirm rolls and Improved Critical feat.

Add celestial valor later.

Let's have Jetina give us Celestial Valor, as well as Mass Energy Immunity to Fire to just cover our bases.

[Nephrite]

"It can't heal forever!" Moore shouts. "We're driving it back!"

[Anastasia]

With grim determination Cresiel strikes, silent as shards fly all around him.

Cresiel's assault tears through the golem, into its chest. The frozen slashes freeze and shatter chunks of it as it reels back, "Xandra, go," Cresiel calls as he does.

Go, Jetina'n'Xandra.

[Nephrite]

Xandra sends another Greater Polar Ray towards it!

Jetina holding again until after it goes in case it does anything dangerous.

[Anastasia]

Another polar ray hits it - and the center mass of it crumbles apart, the ice weighing it down. The entire golem stumbles and tumbles down, a rain of shards to the chasm below.

"Whew," Sylvie wipes he brow off.

Cresiel lowers his blade as he watches, "A worthy foe for most."

"We aren't most," Sylvie agrees, "Someone really wants this Wheel to stay a legend."

[Nephrite]

"Yes, we might have more... tricks to deal with." Moore says.

He will move forward, keeping the rest of the wind wall up for them as they go to land in front of the cottage.

"I'm curious if it was split by one person or if this was a group of people."

Assuming he can get closer, he'd like to try detect magic again to see what's going on here.

[Anastasia]

Spellcraft real quick.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 118 on K:A and 113 on Spellcraft. I'd like to also use the epic skill check to identify the caster, then do a K:P or whatever check is appropriate for 118 to get more information on them.

[Anastasia]

The caster is Anthraxus.

Anthraxus is a former Oinoloth who is said to still exist, a powerful fiend cloaked in the mysteries of the 'loths. He's a force for malice and suffering whenever he touches anything in Creation, like a plague that routinely recurs. His opinion of the newest Oinoloth isn't known, but not a lot about him is known, as it usually is for the daemons. You've heard he still has great powerful too, and that he's no mere fiend, whatever he's moved onto.

[Nephrite]

Moore immediately frowns, but proceeds on towards the cottage.

"The person who put this magic in place is Anthraxus, who is a former Oinoloth." Moore says.

He will do the same trick on the cottage itself in case there's magic on it that's different.

[Anastasia]

It's the same.

"Wait, Anthraxus?" Cresiel stops cold, "Did you say that name?"

Xandra immediately frowns, "What is that old fiend doing with this? Have you heard hints of the daemons in this before?"

[Nephrite]

"I hadn't." Moore says. "But this cottage is protected by his magic as well. But I'm curious if he hid the piece here for safekeeping or if the Wheel simply got away from him some other way."

[Anastasia]

"Either way, let's be careful," Sylvie says, "We may  not be homefree yet, after all."

Cresiel goes to your side, shield at the ready, without a word.

Kaja brandishes his blades, "Still," he says, "At least this one won't be a whirling cloud of flensing death."

[Nephrite]

Moore will proceed inside!

Take 10 for 95 on Perception.
