City of Golden Death (Inactive)

Game Master Stetrix

The Razmiri isn't moving...Actions?

Can Cela turn Undead? Or otherwise mess with their good day?

Can anyone Detect Undead? This may just be an old corpse.

Or, failing all that, would Anaba please go cut its head off, Walking Dead style?

I will Sense Motive on the skelly. Beats just standing here.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

You get no motives from the skelly. Cela can not turn undead, but Buchart can use disrupt undead.

I'll give this a try!

Disrupt Undead: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d6 ⇒ 4

Buchart sends a positive energy beam into the undead and nothing happens. Looks like it is a dead Razmiri.

I will move to the position indicated on the map. Then check for traps, etc.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

You see somekind of mechanical trap that is spilling molten gold down on anyone who touches the pile. You also spot a small jewelry box near the skeleton that the Razmiri was apparently reaching for when he/she set off the trap. You think it would be possible to disable the trap.

Disable Device on the trap. Cela will add +1 Guidance

Disable Device: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 1 = 24

I will then pry the box out

I will be noting any places along the way that are treasure rich/easy for pick up on the way out!

I will take this chance to load my bag of holding within 90% of capacity with only the most valuable of treasure. I am looking at gems and jewelry and anything that glows. Buchart, do you have Detect Magic available?

Also, I will put lizard dude poison on 5 arrows. Adding to my secondary sword as well.

I currently have Blue Whinnis on primary sword and one dagger.

5 x arrows w/ Lizard dude poison
1 x Short Sword w/ Lizard Dude Poison
1 x Short Sword w/ Blue Whinnis
1 x Dagger w/ Blue Whinnis.

Oh, and I want to look in the box, after detecting traps on it.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

You find no traps. the box is well coated/sealed in a gold coating. Jiggling it there are several somethings inside. Using your dagger, you are cut around the edge and pry open the small box.

inside are eight crystalline stones and a nice pearl.

Detect Magic on the mound to see if is worth the time.

Let's skulk ahead slowly and quietly, if possible.

There are other treasures here, but most appear heavily damaged by the heat or molten gold. Much of the pile is a fused together and will take sometime to pry apart. Everything including the coins and gems in the pile has a small bit of magic. While you are scanning you see the stones and and pearl in the open box in Fernleaf's hands are all magical. Some of the buildings off the road will have much easier pickings than this pile.

I'll pick up a stone from the small box and toss it in the air close to my head. Starting with a crimson one, if there is one.

At this point, I am not interested in a treasure hunt! I want to get our quest finished so we can leave this accursed land and be done with it! Let's move on!

Buchart takes a Deep Red Sphere, he notices a hairline crack in it and tosses in in the air...it starts spinning in a small orbit above his head.

KN Spellcraft and I can tell you more about all of these.

There are many of us of the Arcane Sciences that will always stop for something magical, whether to study it, take it for advantage or to destroy it.

Let's see what this does, shall we?

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

I will check the pearl, as well.

Buchart Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Sekkim Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20

Buchart Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Sekkim Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16

Buchart and Sekkimm both recognize the metal box as a warding box - these boxes come in different sizes are usually made of metal and are non-magical, but the inside is lined in lead, this prevents magical detection and most spells from penetrating the contents. It appears on close examination that the stones all have some damage from the heat with small cracks, but the pearl seems undamaged.

Spending a few rounds together you are able to identify the stones and pearl.

Pearl of Power 1st Level - This seemingly normal pearl of average size and luster is a potent aid to all spellcasters who prepare spells (clerics, druids, rangers, paladins, and wizards). Once per day on command, a pearl of power enables the possessor to recall any one spell that she had prepared and then cast that day. The spell is then prepared again, just as if it had not been cast. The spell must be of a particular level, depending on the pearl. Different pearls exist for recalling one spell per day of each level from 1st through 9th and for the recall of two spells per day (each of a different level, 6th or lower).

ooooohhhhh
I would love the one for Dex.

I will take 10 and scour one of the most promising nearby buildings with the non-melted horde of treasure and pick from that.

These were probably most impressive before being cooked!

Ah! You will want this one Fernleaf! Handing Fernleaf the one from his head orbit (Deep Crimson).

I added everything to the treasure sheet - please claim and you can mark in there - go ahead and decide who takes, what/if there is a debate I suggest a 1d20 rolloff

I will forgo the fight for goodies...though the Amethyst Prism and Gold Nodule both are right up my ally!

We should probably get away from here soon. We can divy later!

I would love to have the Amethyst...

If you want them for the encounters ahead you should distribute. Fernleaf is taking a few minuets to fill his bag of holding.

Unable to edit sheet. Signed in but no tools!

Go for it! I'll bat cleanup once everyone has one!

fixed

I will take the pearl if nobody objects.

You will need to pick the skill once it sets it is that way permanently for that particular skill

Fernleaf finishes stuffing his sack, perhaps 250,000gp worth of treasure. Continue following the trail?

Trail!!!

Fernleaf finishes stuffing his sack. Continue following the trail?

He, he! He said sack!

You follow the tracks around the far side of the 2nd ring. The group veers off the main path into a ruined fort.

wisdom: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (20) - 2 = 18

What are you checking Sekkimm? the tracks?

I will have been picking up a few things. Don't want my back stuffed but will get what seems reasonable

Cela you collect a few baubles along the way ~25,000gp worth.

Follow the trail or somewhere else (see Xin-Grafar map)?

I would like the strength one.

B-Rolande says he wants the initiative one.

Buchart will follow suit on the easy pickup and add it to his pack, which he usually drops and picks up after the fight!

Another 25,000 gp!! Buchart dreams of being fanned on his pleasure barge!

Follow the tracks into the ruins?

a unsolicited wisdom check is me deciding if Sekkim is going to do something unwise.

I most certainly look forward to that !!!..or you can do whatever Buchart does...

Where to?

Sekkim takes out a gold coin he carried in with him and compares it to a piece of gold off the ground. I'll use detect magic, detect poison, and any knowledge relevant. I'll also attempt to disbelieve. There's enough gold here to change the course of history, i think. There *has* to be a catch, a curse, or a trick.

Sekkimm and Buchart have probably already thought of the same thing, but our exit could be hastened by Mount and Floating Disk.
