Dimitrious Black |
Ah very good captain Dimitrious will then heads over to the island.
.Suny. |
At work.
Suny finishes up her tasks and swims over to join every one else. (^_^)
MichaelCullen |
Im ok with 5s on the CLW out of combat, but it looks like Kyranda took care of it anyway.
Climbing your way up to the caves that make up the eyes of the skull would not be easy if it were not for the vegetation. The caves have no natural illumination and go from normal to low light 30 feet in, going arround a couple corners will put you in darkness. The floors are slippery with water. The cave is barely big enough around for a full size man not squeezed, but will take an escape artist check to move past one another and leads into the cliff.
Who is going first and who has light?
Dimitrious Black |
I will go first if no one has an objection
perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
I will cast darkvision on myself giving me 90' darkvision
Arjun Srivastava |
Arjun pads his way in for the first 30 feet to inspect the room.
Stealth 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27
I don't have darkvision, just low-light vision, so I can at least check out the entrance without a light source.
MichaelCullen |
Barely Dimitrious
Moving through the cave Dimitrious notices the small eddies a nearly invisible line is making just beneath the inch deep water. Following the line, it is connected to a log covered in spikes hidden arround the corner. It would be very painful if this were set off. disable device check. If not from Dimitrious, give me an escape artist check first to get by him.
Dimitrious Black |
Dimitrious will cast message and appraise the captain of the situation. There is a very nasty trap up here, could you send Arjun up please.
I will cast darkvision on Arjun if he wants it as well as point out the trap.
Noro the iron maiden |
Noro will go third (behind Dimitrious and Arjun.)
Nor remains near the entrance for now, as she only has bright light vision allowing her to see in the normal light.
.Suny. |
Suny will be happy to end up where ever folks want her tanned, Elven self to be. (^_^)
Arjun Srivastava |
Arjun shimmies back out of the cave and points at Kyranda. "May I borrow your whip?" He plans on whipping the tripwire from a safe 10 feet away. "I promise to return it as soon as possible."
I would roll for an attack, but he will just keep whipping until he gets it.
.Suny. |
Suny backs up with every one else, though given the crowded spacing she's not sure who's up front.
Dimitrious Black |
Not feeling like catching a spiked log in his face, Dimitrious will back away.
.Suny. |
I dun't has an axe... (>_>)
MichaelCullen |
It is hard to tell if it was the whipping or the splash of acid that did it, but the log swings around the corner, missing everyone. The tunnel climbs to a point just below the island’s surface. Sunlight filters faintly through a rent in the earth above, where a gargantuan tree grows down into the rocky soil, its prodigious root system blocking any further progress ahead. The fissures and crevices in the bark of the tree’s trunk, just visible at the roof of the tunnel, vaguely resemble a wrinkled human visage with a craggy crown upon its brow, while the spread of roots below seems like the hoary growth of an ancient beard.
Dimitrious Black |
Dimitrious will examine the curious tree Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
.Suny. |
"Oh! Is jus' like in'a story!" Suny exclaims brightly, then pauses and scratches her head,
"Now... how'd it go agin...?" She ponders.
"We's climbed up here." Sunny peers around people and looks about for what she can see what's 'sekrit'.
Perception:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Calah Riptide |
know nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Calah studies the tree to see what it is.
"This is quite the tree. Wonder if it is even sentient..."
MichaelCullen |
No response comes for the tree, save for the whisper of the winds. Suny and Dimitrious notice a glint of "shine" in the mud. Looking more carefully they see a small ring.
Calah recognizes that the tree is a type of mangrove. She doubts it is sentient.
Remembering back:
From blue bight’s embrace
Spy the Grave Lady’s prize tooth
With the Dawnf lower’s f irst kiss
Climb the Captain’s wayward orb
To claim old king’s hoard
The poem was not precise in what to do when you got here.
.Suny. |
"Whut is it Pirates normally does wiff they's shine?" The tanned Elf asks sounding slightly puzzled even as she continues to look around in the gloom.
Dimitrious Black |
Dimitrious will cast detect magic and scan the tree and ring.
Noro the iron maiden |
Nor simply watches everyone in their search and detects and whatevers. finally she simply goes over and grabs the ring. attempting to pick it up.

To claim old king’s hoardThe poem was not precise in what to do when you got here.
Dimitrious ponders the riddles words line by line.
Well lets see, blue bights embrace. Is that the sea?
Spy the grave ladies tooth. Dead womans tooth?
With the dawnflowers first kiss. Sunrise?
Climb the captains wayward orb. I dunno
Dimitrious will head up to the top of the tunnel and peak his head out of the crack up top.
Stealth: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (2) + 23 = 25
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Arjun Srivastava |
Arjun is likewise lost. "The only line I understand is the "Dawnflower's first kiss." That would be the rising sun. Everything else is gibberish."
Yay for having an 8 Wisdom...
Dimitrious Black |
Wait, wasn't this the rock that was shaped like a deathshead, could the captains wayward orb be the eyesocket?
.Suny. |
Suny wriggles around, past folks to maybe get to the end/back of the tunnel.
"I think we's in-side tha' thing. Is whut we's doin' from in here we's got'a figure out....." Then she pauses and ponders some more.
"Is we even in'a right hole...?" She looks around for anything other than the ring and such to try and help out.
Perception:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Calah Riptide |
Calah follows the others around to the skulls eyesocket.
"We can check it out. There's nothing special about the tree or the ring for as far as I can tell."
Dimitrious Black |
Well I s'pose we could wait up top for sunrise Dimitrious says
Calah Riptide |
"Circle marks the spot?"
.Suny. |
"Ah! They wus diggin'!" (^_^) Suny exclaims, then looks around at the others in the gloom.
"We... din't bring no shovelin' stuffs.... did we?" She shrugs and sighs. "I can be swimmin' right quick back ta' boat an' gettin' some?" She asks the Captain.
Calah Riptide |
"Of course." Calah takes out the wand and summons an earth elemental to start digging in the ground.

Noro the iron maiden |
what happened when Noro grabbed the ring? I think it was a ring at least
Jax Kraven |
he became invisible and found out the one ring controlled them all. One ring to rule them all
Jax just helps dig anyway he can, though he doesn't have a shovel, so it looks like his bare hands it is.
MichaelCullen |
When picked up the ring feels, well like a ring. Are you putting it on?
The earth elemental burrows into the floor of the cave, quickly making a tunnel. Removing the dirt reveals a sinkhole descending into the rock. It drops thirty feet to the still, dark surface of water below. The broken remnants of a wooden platform and stair cling to the wall, but the structures themselves have long since rotted away and dropped into the inscrutable depths.
Dimitrious Black |
Interesting. .. Dimitrious says to himself. He then casts fly on himself and heads downward for a looksie.
perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Calah Riptide |
"Let's tie a rope down and climb down." Calah says and looks down the hole, trying to gauge how deep the water is.
If she thinks it is deep enough she nods to Suny to go down with her and jumps into the water with Havok following down hovering over the water.
.Suny. |
Suny deftly and delicately scampers down the hole after Dim (And possibly Jax?)
