easy trip! Someone clean me up. Rameth calls for prestidigiitate
thanks but I was hoping for some Azubah magic
"That is a spell that I am not familiar with, regrettably."
With a wave of his hand, Azubah's greatsword vanishes into non-existence.
I will say that's one thing I don't miss about being physical. Monsters leak a surprising amount of disgusting ichor, ooze and offal.
Azubah, you see Sir Howard observing Rameth up and down.
I will say the goo doesn't go with the hat.
"I see that your passing off the mortal coil has given you time to develop opinions on everything" Azubah says, dismissively.
Two thousand years does give one time to think. Did you know, I've come up with the most marvelous recipe for currant jam. Sadly, I can't taste it.
Sir Howard brightens (literally) as he has a thought.
I say! You could make it for me and taste it! Do you know if they have currants in Osirion? Not that they wouldn't of course, it's marvelous and they have so many things here. You could make challah bread!
Howard natters on about what you could make for breakfast with his many, many recipes.
Truly, Pharasma's Boneyard is a poorer place for Sir Howard's absence.
"Yes, we shall have to get right to that when we finish here."
Rameth wipes off as much as he can then scoops up Trip and puts him in his bag, then gathers his daggers
Rameth follows and puts down trip to see if he sniffs Anythibg out.
. He frowns as his enhanced shield fizzles out
Dwalindor, you enter the room and the torchlight shows that the southern area of this large space contains a long stone table, two benches, and two wooden hutches. Just visible behind a partition wall to the north is a kitchen with tables, cabinets, and a stove in the corner. Around a corner to the south stands a stone enclosure with a rounded top and a hatch set in the front.
As you search through the hutches you see lots of earthen ware crockery and dishes and, to your excitement, a set of golden plates and tableware used no doubt for special occasions.
Rameth, as you explore the cubicles you find a few curiosities in the acolytes rooms, scrolls in Ancient Osiriani, tiny statuettes and figurines that promote good luck or ward off evil and a small amulet of Nethys made out of the same sort of stones the giant statue in the cathedal.
Trip sniffing around is interested in beds and cabinets, but he scrambles up on the seat of the privy in the center of the cubicles and his three heads poke in and around looking for something interesting.
His heads raise up and bark happily at you at the new interesting smells.
Well that's reassuring. No matter if they have one head or three dogs are interested in the same things.
He absently pats the head of the hyena.
Oh, hush, I think your great-great-grandson is doing just fine. Although where he's keeping all those weapons is something I just don't understand.
He sticks his head through the side of the privy seat and looks down.
No, still dark. Why are you laughing?
Azubah, you're beginning to think Sir Howard may not be all there.
Rameth takes a peak into the privy letting them light shine down into it. Assuming there is nothing he gives a piece of jerky cut into three to trip then heads north
There is in fact nothing at the bottom of the privy, as it seems to have been unused for the last 2000 years.
Trip eagerly rips at the jerky, then spits it out as it is covered with sand from the sandstorm.
His six eyes look at you reproachfully for giving him tainted food.
As you enter the door to the north you find a sparsely furnished room which contains a bed frame bolted to the floor in the southwest corner next to a lacquered end table. On the opposite side of the room, a wooden desk has partially collapsed against the wall. Doors exit the room to the north, east, and south.
bah toughen up pup! Rameth says as he scratches he heads
In the new room Rameth heads to check the desk
+1 traps
You mean this doll? Rameth pulls out the cat statue that keeps corpses from decomposing
He shakes it at Dwalindor. meow meow meow!
The desk is filled with decayed papyrus and fossilized reed pens, and you don't see any traps in the room.
Your search does determine that the door to the north is locked, and that it has recently been picked.
Trip barks at the statue and crouches on his front paws, his eyes following it as it bobs back and forth.
Rameth laughs and shakes the sand off some jerky and tosses it to trip, then he puts the statue away.
Seems like someone has been through this door. Lets move, carefully
Rameth checks his extracts and then opens the door that has been picked.
The door jiggles a bit and remains shut.
Raeth inspects the door again
As you reinspect it, you determine that the locked door was picked open recently but the lock is engaged, keeping the door from opening.
Rameth picks the crap out of the lock
then he tries again
Rameth opens the lock and the door swings open. The short, narrow corridor between two stone doors appears unremarkable.
"Shall we examine the doors off of this corridor?"
Rameth examines the first door to the left!
percep
DD
Which door to the left? (Coordinates?)
Per the updated map here, you've got two doors - one to the north if you move down the corridor at E5 and one heading east at I6?
You don't see any issues with the door, and it opens without a trap springing.
As you enter the new room you see rows of stone shelves crowd the room. Most of the books and scrolls once stored here have disintegrated over time, but a few volumes engraved on more durable materials still endure. Numerous scroll tubes litter the floor of the room amid the dusty remains of ruined paper and papyrus.
You do find an unrolled papyrus scroll discarded on the floor that has what appears to be Ancient Osiriani.
Perception
Rameth takes a scan
Are you reading the scroll Rameth?
Azubah, you find a number of scrolls scattered throughout the library that seemed to have survived. You'd probably have to spend a day organizing them but they may be valuable to a collector.
You also find two scrolls that make your magical sense tingle.
Azubah reaches to pick up the scrolls and opens the first one.
"Magical" is all he says as some unseen wind kicks up the sand at his feet.
Oh I was perceiving the room. Sorry!
Rameth, you've discovered a secret panel in the library wall that seems to be locked.
