Ama will stay towards the rear
As the team is about to attempt Air Walk manuvers Hemket notices there is some sort of trap a foot with the pit. It's not diarmable but he's pretty sure something gonna happen if you move over that pit..
"Hey Hadji, want to try summoning something? I think something is gonna blow if we cross that pit. "
Arduino nods with agreement. "Summon some minor demon, let it trip this trap before us."
When the trap is dealt with, Arduino climbs aboard Kin to cross.
"I recommend we give it some room..."
backing off 30' from the pit, the Hadj will swap out his prepared Endure Elements to spontaneously cast Summon Nature's Ally 1, and send an augmented eagle down the corridor...
Hamket will back up also.
Khufu backs up and covers his face, peeking between two of his fingers.
When the eagle flies over the pit some unseen force smashes it into the cieling.. Crumpled, the eagle falls into the pit and out of sight.
"Ouchie....." Khufu says as he watches the eagle fall into the deep pit.
"Glad it was the eagle and not me. "
Amarantha thinks there some sort of Reverse Gravity effect in play, along side a dispel effect when you hit the ceiling..
Arduino furrows his brow.
"I believe Spider Climb can solve this: crawling along the wall with gravity pointed up should be the same as crawling along the wall with gravity pointed down..."
Hadjii will go ahead and cast his prepared Communal Spider Climb on the party...
then he'll attempt to just fly across himself:
Hadjii manages to get across without being pushed into the ceiling..
A bit nervous about being splatted like the eagle, Hemket tries to clime across along the wall anyway.
Kin and Arduino use the Spider Climb to cross along the wall.
With spider climb you are able to transverse the pit easily..
No climb rolls are necc.. You feel a tug upwards but your stickiness gets you across..
Khufu joins the others via spider climb.
With the party safely over the pit you keep moving down the tunnel.. It feels like forever as you make four more turns, all to the right before you end up at a huge stone blocking the tunnel.. It feels like the tunnels are at a slight downslope as well, barely noticable, but it appears you are going deeper in the earth.
close look to see if there's a secret door or mechanism to open the stone.
You don't notice any obvious ways to get the rock to move.. At least with normal vision..
"Perhaps someone merely needs to push on it...someone more muscular than me, of course..."
"Did anyone try looking for magic or anything? "
Ama casts Detect Magic on the rock
With the appropriate checks yall discover this stone is likely linked to the phase door glyph on the floor back at the entrance..
"Last time I touched something that was in the way ... it hit me."
...
You deffinitely think the glyph has something to do with moving this thing.. Perhaps standing on it..
"That glyph back at the beginning? On the other side of the hurricane pit of doom?"
"Would have been easier if one of you smart guys had figured that out before we walked all the way here."
"I'll get it" Hemket will head back to the glyph and step on it. The spider climb should still be active to get around the pit.
"This sounds like a job for Dimension Door! Ard, do you have any left?"
Arduino shrugs, and spreads his hands. "A few; but not enough to count on as a method of transport; not enough to count on more than as an emergency. I'd prefer we got these doors working."
"So, is Hemket headed back to the glypf?"
Hemket makes his way back to the glyph.. Upon standing on it he can't tell if anything happens, but it does glow brightly for a few momnets before going dim.
Back at the stone it starts to slowly lower into the floor.. It takes about a min to fully sink and then it starts coming back up at the same slow pace..
"It worked! Throw something heavy on the glyph then leg it back here!"
He will head back to the rest of them at his normal pace since he doesn't know any better.
"Should we just go ahead?"
The door reaches the bottom and starts moving back up and still no Hemket.. You have 30 seconds or so before you would have to do it again.. Or use teleport magic to bypass the door..
don't think that is necessarily a high check.
Yea.. I mean your talking about hearing through several feet of earth and stone, like 30 in a straight line, around corners etc.. Thats gonna be a no..
Hadjii will examine the stone and the opening for a latch that keeps it from sealing back up...
he'll also pull out his wand of <Stone Shape>, and attempt to put a groove through the surface that would allow him to filter through as an air elemental (...)
Hadjii is able to make a hole through the stone, but it is not large enough for yall togo through.. With a few more castings you think it would be possible though.
As yall talk about going or waiting the stone slowly makes it back to its starting position blocking the passage..
Soon Hemket returns..
"That do anything? Doesn't look like it did any good. "
