Baldwin the Merciful's Razor Coast: Black Spot (Inactive)

Game Master baldwin the merciful

"Well that ain't good."

Do we know how to activate it again?

Revhi you jump a few more times and nothing. The light remains off.

How long are you standing there where the light was?

Idk, I'll try a minute. I'll scan it for magic again.

Is it dark in the room? Or did just the teleportation magic light go away?

Also, who has the gem we found in this room? One of the ones who jumped into the light?

Just the teleportation light went away.i should have clarified that.

Nobody did anything to the Jade eye. It's still there.

Dinetta looks to Revhi: Gotta look for a way to reopen the light portal.

With that, she picks up the Jade eye and begins looking for a way to use it, perhaps?

Knowledge(everything but engineering): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Ok Marcus! We need to wait for the others!

Marcus gets up and looks around Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

I wonder what's taking them

Revhi frowns. "Well hell, this ain't good."

Will to disbelieve: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

They should be coming soon, we gotta stay here though. Never split the group, although we just did.

Know arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Seems to be some type of eye.

Realizing that it is sometimes best to not be seen, she takes a small piece of fabric and places it one the gem. She will secure it there, and if necessary will use her gloves (Mage Hand) to hold the fabric in place.

There is quick flash, then the white light returns catching Revhi and Jean as they jump in place. As Dinetta turns to see what is happening, the light disappears along with her comrades.

The light we stepped in teleported us somewhere and the blue wall is a magic wall that can can destroyed with brute force and WAHHHHHH!!! Where did they come from?

Acrobatics: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (10) - 3 = 7

"Damn, that hurt." Revhi stands up sorely, looking around. "Hey, we made it!"

able explorer roll 1: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18able explorer roll 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Jeran rolls out of the fall without any damage coming to his feet gracefully and weapon at the ready.

Dinetta sighs as two more of her companions suddenly disappear. Unsure whether it was she who caused the disappearance, she steps to where the light was and then once more uses her Mage Hand ability to cover the green gem with some cloth.

Where's our librarian? Marcus asks the latest arrivals

I'll take a hit off that wand.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7...Ok Awesome I am topped off

"Of course. Well I'm sure with enough fiddling around she'll get it working again."

After a few experiments at getting the light beam working again Dinetta seems to fall out of the sky to the ground.

Acro DC 15 check
falling damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

The gang is all here!

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Unlike the rest, the small librarian drops from the light, makes a quick roll and recovers to her feet before the rest of the party can blink.

Where are we? What have you all discovered?

As she says this, she looks around the new room.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 <-- +2 more for traps

The light is gone. This room is empty save for three portals in the south, east and west walls. The southern portal hums with a blue variation,it similar to a wall of force. You understand that you can destroy it with brute force.

Dinetta then it dawns on you, perhaps the golden staff could turn the wall of force if you touched the two.

I need to load up the map.

Command Level Map

There are three portals which one are you trying? The southern one (middle one) is the one that is humming with the wall of force.

Who still needs healing?

What's your plan?

Jerome makes sure Dinetta and Revhi get healing from his wand
CLW Dinetta: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW Revhi: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Dinetta looks to the door.
It might turn off if we used the staff. I don't know if we could turn it back on, but no reason to spend the energy breaking it down if we can just turn it off.

Just to clarify: The doors to the east and the one to the west are not energized.

My thought is to deactivate the door to the south first to see if there is anything there. If others want to take the east or west door, I am good with that.

Perception (east door): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Perception (west door): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23

Dinetta checks the east and west doors, listening for anything behind and also to see if there are any traps apparent.

Both the West and East doors are unlocked and to your eye do not appear to be trapped. Dinetta you are certain the staff will turn off the force wall that covers the southern portal's door.

Make decision on which door.

Let's go clockwise Marcus says

Fine with me.

Working clockwise: The unlocked portal opens into a chamber featuring three transparent walls with small doors. These are holding cells where the Engineer keeps living prisoners until they are ready to be experimented upon and vivisected. The cells are currently empty.

Holding Cells

Seeing that the room appears to be empty, Dinetta points to the door on the far wall.

Lets check the far door before we drop the wall of force. It might be designed to keep us out, or something else in. Better to make sure that there is nothing behind door number three so that we do not get flanked.

Proceed and open/check the east door.

This is the Engineer’s workshop. The room is filled with tables full of strange tools and devices. There are several large clear tanks of water and countless jellyfish. From what you can see it appears to be empty.

perception check if you are entering the room.

Updated Map

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 <-- add +2 if for traps

Optimal time for a natural 1

Ugh...squirmies.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28

Dinetta enters the room, her attention on the odd looking items on the worktable. There is a half assembled bat looking mechanical device, similar to what you've seen buzzing around from time-to-time.

Meanwhile Jerome hesitates in the doorway unsure of himself.

Markus pushes past Jerome. His eyes scanning the room, he looks over the door and notices another gem lodged there. It looks like the one where the light beam was located.

jean and Revhi what are you doing?

Updated Map

If Revhi and Jean don't post by the morning I'll PCDM there actions.

Revhi, Jean, and Jerome are surprised when the portal into the workroom quickly closes. Leaving the three companions separated from the others. the quickness of the door shutting startles Dinetta and puts Marcus in an immediate defensive stance. A vibration within the chamber is fealt as spider cracks emerge on the watertanks.The door is shut between the two groups.

Initiative order:

Dinetta
Jean
Jerome
Jellyfish swarm
Revhi
Marcus

DMPC: Dinetta

The librarian is startled with the door closure. She sees the danger of the spidering tanks and climbs up onto the nearest table.

climb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

She is quick with her scrambling ans scales the side of the worktable, hoping the wave of jellyfish doesn't reach her.

Curses, I have no like no idea how to do any wrangling with this strange magic. Jerome gestures at the door and waves his hands around it, trying to see if it will open.

Jerome you wave your hands around trying to repeat what you've seen the librarian do bu to no effect. The door seems locked.

Initiative order:

Dinetta - climbs on desk.
Jean
Jerome - tries to open door.
Jellyfish swarm
Revhi
Marcus

Inside the room" RD 1

The glass container shatter releasing a swarm of jellyfish. Dinetta managed to climb out of the way but Marcus was a bit slow. The diminutive flood the floor.
