Lol Iommi!
Nacht seems... unphased by the happenings, sheathing his hammer and picking up the gladus he had dropped.
I'd like to place 100 gp on Iommi and Nacht eventually engaging in Machiavellian PVP!!
Who wants a piece of this action!! Next we can bet on who wins!! Eeeeeeek!!!
Silence, Initiative Monkey! There will be no PVP, and no betting on such!!
Nacht stares at the entrance to this place and begins leaving.
"That's not good." Alphonse says, staring in annoyance at the rising water.
"We should retreat for now. I'm not sure how well you people can swim, but I'm not very good at it in this form, with this armor."
Perhaps the lever will drain Hisao says and yanks it.
Perhaps the lever will drain Hisao says and yanks it.
Hisao yanks the lever, and the drawbridge begins to descend from the island at the center of the water, tilting down to a 45 degree angle in one round, and dropping into place to span the moat to the corridor in the next round....
CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLANK-CLAPPPP!!!
The water continues to gush into the most, and after two rounds, the water level in the great cistern has risen at least a foot....
Well let's get across this bloody thing quickly. Just because I can drink like a fish doesn't mean I can breath like one....
Water not drain. Don't know how far it will go! Do we go forward or back?
"I would prefer to press onward while we have the chance, but ultimately it is up to the rest of you. I won't force you if you need a rest. For now."
"Let us press on. We have the Necromancer backed into a corner, I think. If we slay him now, we may rest soundly this night in the knowledge that a great evil has been purged from this city."
The water level in the moat has risen from 10 feet below the drawbridge, island and corridor to 8 ft below in about 12 seconds as the Lusty Fools discuss a plan of action....
Then we go Hisao runs across the drawbridge as fast as he can while activating his invisibility.
Hisao leads the charge of the Lusty Fools across the drawbridge....
They now stand before the strange green door inscribed with warding glyphs....
....and the water level is now 6 ft below the island....
Hisao checks for traps.
Nothing obvious to Hisao....
Careful, those are magical glyphs of warding!
20 gp says Hisao tries to open the shiny green magic door!
Eeeeeeek!!
Shush, Initiative Monkey!

Paddy looks at the trap and tries to disarm it.
Oh man, I could use a drink right about now...
Paddy carefully applies clay from his thieves' toolkit into the glyphs in an attempt to render them powerless....
And an arc of blue lightning leaps from the green door to the Irish rogue, dealing electricity damage, Reflex save vs DC 16 for half damage or evasion!
Nacht watches as the water rises from the outside and sees lightning arch up confused at what caused it and somewhat glad it happened before the water hit the area. The rising water however.. he is less concerned about having the ability to swim.
Ouch...son of a motherless goat....
"Well, it was a good try at least, Paddy. Are you all right?"
Alphonse steps forward and pushes the door open.
Aye...I'm fine, thank ye. Remind me to not do that again. Bloody traps....
Paddy checks to make sure none of his clothes are smoking.
Me poor cloak is taking a right bloody beating. I think I might have to get me a new one when I get back to the surface.
The water level is now 4 ft below the island....
Alphonse pushes the green door open, revealing a circular domed chamber within....
The mortared walls are covered with white plaster, on which various arcane diagrams, formulae, and symbols have been carefully scribed....
A canopy bed with black velvet curtains occupies the north side of the chamber, with mahogany night stands to either side, on which a brazier glowing with green arcane fire and a crystal decanter and goblet rest....
A censer hangs by a thin chain from the domed ceiling, smoking with exotic incense....
An oak desk and high-backed chair occupy the center of the chamber, with a human skull lit by arcane green flames that light but do not burn casting illumination on several scrolls spread out on the desktop....
A chamber pot sits near the doorway, and a full-length gilt framed mirror stands on the other side of the doorway....
An armoire and a chest in the west side of the chamber completes the furnishings....
There is no sign of the Necromancer, but something vaguely human in shape suddenly crawls out from under the black canopy over the bed! It looks like a pale, gaunt, almost skeletal woman in funeral shroud with wild mane of bone-white hair framing a ghastly, malevolent visage, eyes burning like red coals!
Initiative
Simultaneous with the emergence from the canopy bed of the ghastly woman, two black shapes of pure shadow rise up from the floor to either side of the doorway, within a 5-ft step each of flanking Alphonse!
Initiative
Hisao tries to chat the lady up in broken French Hello pretty lady. Do you wish to maybe not spend your time underground with scary shadow monsters? We could take you to this tavern. It has good drink though it's no sake. Also there is sunlight
If the woman goes hostile then Hisao readies an act to throw a shuriken at her.
and then will use ki to turn invisible.
The woman favors Hisao with a decidedly unfriendly grin full of malice, revealing jagged, bloodstained teeth more suited to a beast of nightmare than a lady....
Alphonse winds up with the +1 cold iron greatsword....
Trevaga took the +1 cold iron short sword....
Paddy gets the masterwork cold iron dagger....
Ubchell gets the masterwork cold iron scimitar....
Tiberius is handed the +1 cold iron earth breaker....
Hisao gets the +1 cold iron heavy mace....
Charmaine is given the +1 cold iron morningstar....
Let us assume that the +1 cold iron earth breaker is in Alphonse's hands, and the +1 cold iron greatsword in Nacht's, or the other way around....
And Hisao or Paddy has the +1 cold iron short sword....
And Iommi has the +1 cold iron morning star....
