So..This little jaunt seems to have gotten us just some broken bones. Andea uses Detect Magic on the flails once the other armor is destroyed.
Back to the stairs or look around here some more?
Armor 2 will be destroyed with flaming sphere. Since he is a large creature in pit that fits snug around him I don't even think he'd get a reflex save, if he did it would be at some penalties.
The one flail that is visible is glowing magical, the other one is at the bottom of the pit.
Andrea will examine the flails when they are both acessable(and not on fire)
Andrea grits her teeth. No matter how fast I run, I keep falling behind. Not enough skill, not enough money, not enough magic.
The one flail that is visible is glowing magical, the other one is at the bottom of the pit.
Three rounds after the flame disperses. The armor is pushed up to the surface.
Spending some time detecting magic then extensively examining each large heavy flail reveal they are each +2 magic flails. They are sized for large creatures. Each flail weighs 20 lbs.
These will be a bit hard to sell, unless Ziz knows some large sized devils who are looking.
Andrea puts them in the haversacks and Bag of holding.
So shall we continue to check out this are or head back to the stairs headed down? We do need to figure out how to get around that mind-wiping trap.
Truk heads up the stairs.
Lucrezia shrugs. "Probably not much here since it was just a conference hall. I guess we could head back to the stairs now."
I guess we can go up the steps and see what is there. Andrea will follow Truk.
Edit: Andrea will also keep an eye out with Lucrezia for any nasties.
Lucrezia shrugs and follows Truk and Andrea up the stairs. Checking to make sure that they are still capable of holding their weight. After the bridge collapsed, she isn't too sure on the construction around here.
Upstairs you find more guest rooms has been left in tatters by a century of dust and neglect. There is, also, an incredible catwalk balcony that provides a great view of the meeting hall and the outside grounds.
Let's take a look around. Those statues had to have been guarding something.
Guess this is where the collapsed bridge would have lead to. It seems we have a limited choice of places to go now.
Edit:I guess we can have a look around this big room. Maybe a clue to the Morrowfall is here.
Andrea will return to the ground floor and looks around the main table for any noteworthy features.
There must be a hidden switch here somewhere..
The only other noteworthy items in the meeting room are, the previously mentioned, unique continual flame lantern in the center of the table, and the stars in the overhead mural which are continual flame shards. You could spend an hour, or so, prying the shards out of the mural if you want they have value.
Waste of time trying to pry them out. Plus we could use this place as a resting spot. Lots of bright light to keep away the shadows. I belive it is time to check downstairs.
Here is a complete view of the bottom floor, so far. You have another set of doors midway down the east hall, and you, also, have the trapped stairs to tackle.
Let us try the closed doors to the south of the dinosaur room. Andrea will follow the group when they are ready to go.
"Sounds good."
Truk will lead the way.
You see doors that look battered by heavy weapons, the handle is broken off of the each door.
Truk studies the doors.
"Is it safe Beautiful?"
Andrea peers.
They look okay to me, handsome.
Truk, to your eye, the doors look like they been hacked at with some sort of axe, perhaps hammer.
Lucrezia looks over the doors for traps.
There are no traps on the door and the handles are smashed, so they are not locked.
"Well, they aren't locked or trapped."
Lucrezia gives the doors a push. (Or figures a way to pull them.)
Assuming Lucrezia thinks they're safe, Truk opens the doors.
This large serving kitchen is equipped with a pair of humongous ovens now sealed with bricks. A pantry lies to the south. Long fallen to disuse, this kitchen holds little of note. The foodstuffs left behind in the pantry (area B9a) molded over several decades ago, but the resulting
stench has long receded. A side door once facilitated the unloading of supplies, and still bears an old arcane lock spell (CL 12th) that makes it particularly difficult to open.
Well so much for this. I guess not every room has a monster or treasure in it. Andrea raps on a table.
Truk studies the door.
"Think you can crack this magic lock?"
Lucrezia shrugs. "I suppose I can try if you think we might need an extra way outa the building."
[ooc]perception to check for traps
disable
second disable if needed
Grimm blows out in a little frustration as His Judgement fades and his spells run there course.
He keeps a wary eye out and remains at the front as much as possible.
Still a fair whack o light left. Let's get this place done. That devils head wench got any ideas about where to go next?
Lucrezia it is not trapped from what you can tell and neither of you checks succeed in opening the lock.
Orsin you would know dispel magic would work.
If there is talk of dispeling the magic upon the door, Lucrezia suggests that it might be better used to help get down the stairs rather than trying to open this door for now.
"Let's try those damned stairs again."
Truk leads the way to the trapped stairs.
"What are we going to try this time?"
The group re-enters the armory room. They carefully inspect the room again to make sure it has not been disturbed from the night previously, it appears as they left it. The horse has its armor on. The door to the steps is still closed.
Truk watches and waits for the party to disarm the potentially trapped hallway.
"Alright, everyone stand back and I'll try to open the door."
