Stone climbs up on the fallen first Kreeg and finishes off the third son of Jaagrath.
The blinded Ogre was all but helpless against Brandark and then Garrath.
The last of the three Kreegs fall. No further damage to the dam can be performed.
Victory!
A tower of skull-shaped domes sits at the center of the dam’s walk in front of the party. To the north surge the choppy waters of the Storval
Deep, while to the south, the slope of the dam’s face drops away nearly three hundred feet to a muddy lake below. The dome looks like a fortified keep with arrow slits and battlements. There are two doors, one to the left, one to the right.
Wiping the blood off his axe,
Brandark then removes his helm and spits a bloody gob of mucus onto the Ogre.
I really hate those things. Now to figure out how to close these water ways.
He then looks towards Elektra for guidance.
Electra first quickly scans for magical auras. Then she takes a few moments to check the situation.
The Hide Armor of the Kreegs radiate magic. In addition, and from her current location at the top of the dam, Elektra can sense magic radiating from somewhere within the dam structure. The aura is faint from the top of the dam. She is unable to pinpoint the location precisely.
Water from the Stovall Deep is sloshing over the top of the dam. It will not be long before the volume maybe too much for the dam to hold back. There is a spillway that normally would control the release of water. But nothing is flowing through it at present.
The super structure on the center top of the dam is intact. There are two sets of closed stone double doors leading to the super structure.
Brandark grins and laughs.
You should see the other guy
He waves his hand at the Kriegs.
But i will not begrudge the healing
He stows his axe as he stretches to get the kinks out, then looks for further guidance as to where to go.
So what do we do about this dam? I'm more a breaker rather than builder, so i doubt i can be of much help in that department.
"There should be a building to hold the mechanisms, a control room. Maybe after finding it we will find some more answers."
Taking a moment to check the armor she discerns the magical properties of the dweomer.
Brandark helps Stone and Elektra by stripping down the the Krieg brothers of the items that are indicated by them.
I think we might have hold off on the determining what these things are until we fix the dam.
I wonder if Lady Elektra would be able to make us a bag of holding or two
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Kaos will find the following on the bodies of the Kreegs:
Malagus had a moldy pouch with a Chrysoprase marble(50 gp), a Deep blue spinel marble (100 gp), 8 Irregular freshwater pearls (10 gp each), 2 Malachite marbles (25 gp each), and 4 Snowflake Obsidians marbles (25 gp each). Another Ogres had 6 polished Shells (5 gp each). Combined the Ogres also had collectively 131 cp, 210 sp, 127 gp, and 10 pp. Elektra determines that the 3 suits of Giant-sized Hide Armor have a minimal dweomer (+1).
There are two sets of stone doors, left and right.
Lady Elktra, I was wondering if you were able to make Bags or Backpacks that can hold a lot more than they show?
Brandark inquires while they stuff the items into packs and bags.
He then goes to the right hand set of doors and waits for the checks to open it up.
Elekra ponders for a moment but then shrugs.
"I guess booth will lead us to our destination."
Elektra will look at the right door and not notice any mechanism or trap. The door is closed.
Pointing to the right door she shrugs."Let us take that door! You just have to open it, the hard way I guess."
Right door? Okay right door it is.
Taking a deep breath and wincing slightly, Brandark swings open the right door using it for as much cover as he could, he then looks deeper within using his darkvision
Brandark pushes on the door, but it does not swing open. It appears it is blocked or barred from the other side.
Seems like it doesnt matter much, door looks to be blocked. Either we take an axe to it, burn it, or find another way. Flynn comments, watching Brandark push
Axe is it Brandark laughs. I can be axing it
Brandark looks back, and then winds up with his trusty axe and starts swinging.
Hehe, i get it In a rare moment Flynn chuckles
Brandark begins to break up the door. Once through, the Dwarf and party finds stone blocks, wood beams, and other debris blocking the door. After the party pushes through, they see a standard sized door to the south or right, and another set of stone double-doors to the north or left.
Water's to our left? fix should be there.
Puffing slightly from hacking his way through the debris, Brandark pauses while the larger chunks are removed.
The double doors, it is. I guess any chance of sneaking up on people is gone.
He then walks up and boldly kicks opens the door, and looks inside.
