I've seen it too, but I've not been able to understand why. May be we will find their signification once pass the Vent ? May be its a "road map" to another place ? Vent first, then Lion, then scale, serpent may be ?, King and Centaur...
Jaïr will follow on second position.
With a wink, she said to the one who followed her Don't look under my skirt. before crawling at Numair suite.
LOL!
After 15 feet the vent tunnel splits.

Numair glances around, to see if there are any markings...
Numair Salmalin wrote: Numair glances around, to see if there are any markings... As a matter of fact, there are! :-) On one side is a depiction of a flag or crest or banner. On the other is a stylized lion.
MAP UPDATED

When Numair showed them the two markings, Jair suggest Mmmh, I think if we follow the portrait advice, the Lion we must take.
'The Grandidierite Sage' Male Half-Elf Sorceror 10 (HP 82/82) (AC 17/10/17) (CMD 13) (Fort +8, Ref +5, Will +9) (Init +6) (Perception +23)
"Agreed."
Numair takes the side that the Lion is on.
...and, if the following intersections follow the same pattern, he will take the appropriate turns ;-)

"This passageway is quite curious."
Imrana holds her hands behind her and follows behind the others, stepping lightly.
"I wonder what we would find if we went the other way."
Imrana begins humming to herself.
You, indeed, find more markings along the walls of the vents. As you crawl along Jair's dress rides up as she crawls. But, somehow, never quite high enough to be flagrantly immodest. Following the clues, you arrive at a vent that seems to overlook a library of sorts.
MAP UPDATED
(Thanks guys, for being patient with the pace of this. I know we've been going slow because 1) Rendala is the only one of you who hasn't played this before and 2) she's been away on vacation. She should be back soon. I think she might post today or tomorrow.)
'The Grandidierite Sage' Male Half-Elf Sorceror 10 (HP 82/82) (AC 17/10/17) (CMD 13) (Fort +8, Ref +5, Will +9) (Init +6) (Perception +23)
No dramas; so, just immodestly immodest, then ;-)
Numair peers through the vent to make sure that there is no-one in the library; assuming he does not see anyone, he then attempts to ease the vent open, and climb down to explore...
As far as Numair can tell, the room seems empty.
This room is large and square. The walls glow with a gentle blue light, and the air feels unnaturally cool and dry.
Shelves line the walls and stand in ranks through the middle of the room, punctuated by a wooden table and ornate chairs. An imposing, unoccupied desk faces the main entrance to the room. On an easel in one of the aisles is a map of the room.
AC18(T12,FF16) CMD16| HP 61/70| F +9 R +5 W +14 | Init +1, Perc +7, Sense Motive +15 | Haste
Lol GM :)
Jair dusted her skirt after her crawling in the vent, then readjust it.
She smiled at the view.
What a treasure ! Knowledge, knowledge everywhere !
After a few second of wonder, she remembered they were on the clock and began searching the room for clues.
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Anything magical in here ? she asked
Traversing the vents took 5 minutes.
Numair Dexterity Check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21 Numair easily opens the vent. It slips off a little too easily and starts to fall. Just as it is about ready drop off and clang onto the floor, he catches it!
____________________________________________________________
From here, nothing looks obviously magical.
The party exists the vent and gets into the library.
Somebody casts Detect Magic.
Round 1: Yes there's magic.
'The Grandidierite Sage' Male Half-Elf Sorceror 10 (HP 82/82) (AC 17/10/17) (CMD 13) (Fort +8, Ref +5, Will +9) (Init +6) (Perception +23)
"Odd... You would expect that there would at least be some guards..."
Numair warily moves over to the easel to take a look at the map, hoping for further insight about what to do next.
F HP: 37(48)/37(48) | AC: 16 T: 12(16 vs incorp.) FF: 14| CMB/CMD: 3/15 DF: 5/7 F+4 R+4 W+4 (+2 vs death)| Init +4(always act in surprise rounds) Perc +8
Imrana's eyes widen as she rouses from her inattentive musings and a sudden energy overtakes her.
"I do think I could spend a great deal of time here."
Imrana's eyes dart from shelf to shelf, attempting to scan and commit to memory every tome.
"I am fond of books, you know."
She throws out those words without affect, not appearring to recognize their obviousness.

Round 2: It's of the transmutation school. Coming from the center of the room.
Half-orc Bard (Comedian) HP: -3/8 | AC: 14 T: 12 FF: 12 | CMB/CMD: 0/12 F+1 R+4 W+2 | Init +2 Perc +4
I'm back now, but I've got a lot to catch up on!
Rendala will move slowly towards the center of the room.
Rendala cautiously approaches the center of the room. (Rendala Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9)
Suddenly, one of the chairs (the red object on the map) springs to life and attacks!
I'm not giving the chair a surprise round because 1) you detected magic there and 2) Rendala said she was moving slowly, so I presume a heightened state of readiness.
Round 1
The chair attempts to slam Rendala: Slam: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Miss!
The party is up!
'The Grandidierite Sage' Male Half-Elf Sorceror 10 (HP 82/82) (AC 17/10/17) (CMD 13) (Fort +8, Ref +5, Will +9) (Init +6) (Perception +23)
Numair frowns, and starts casting a spell.
"Even the furniture in this place is hostile!"
Enlarge Person.
Jair, Imrana, and Rendala are up!
Half-orc Bard (Comedian) HP: -3/8 | AC: 14 T: 12 FF: 12 | CMB/CMD: 0/12 F+1 R+4 W+2 | Init +2 Perc +4
Rendala will Inspire Courage with another joke.
Knock, knock
Who’s there?
Iva.
Iva who?
I’ve a sore hand from knocking!
And 5 foot step back.
AC18(T12,FF16) CMD16| HP 61/70| F +9 R +5 W +14 | Init +1, Perc +7, Sense Motive +15 | Haste
Jair draw her crossbow and loaded it
What this creature ? asked Jair unable to determine what it was.
F HP: 37(48)/37(48) | AC: 16 T: 12(16 vs incorp.) FF: 14| CMB/CMD: 3/15 DF: 5/7 F+4 R+4 W+4 (+2 vs death)| Init +4(always act in surprise rounds) Perc +8
"You should not be attacking people, little chair."
Imrana draws her magic missile wand and fires a bolt at the unruly seat.
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
ZAP! The magic missile impacts into the chair and rocks it! Nyuk, nyuk! ;-P
The chair retaliates by slamming the closest enemy (Rendala): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15, Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 The bard loses 75% of her HP! Ouch! :-(
The party is up!
Numair's enlarge person spell finishes. Who is the target?
AC18(T12,FF16) CMD16| HP 61/70| F +9 R +5 W +14 | Init +1, Perc +7, Sense Motive +15 | Haste
Seeing Rendala badly hurt, Jair draw her brand new wand of cure light wounds and used it on the bard.
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
What is this creature ? asked again Jair How can we deafeat it ?
'The Grandidierite Sage' Male Half-Elf Sorceror 10 (HP 82/82) (AC 17/10/17) (CMD 13) (Fort +8, Ref +5, Will +9) (Init +6) (Perception +23)
Numair ;-)
Numair grows to gigantic proportions, and takes a swing with his morningstar at the chair...
Morningstar: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7, for 2d6 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6) + 7 + 1 = 15 damage.
...but his aim is off, as he has yet to adjust to his new size.
AC18(T12,FF16) CMD16| HP 61/70| F +9 R +5 W +14 | Init +1, Perc +7, Sense Motive +15 | Haste
@Numair : don't forget that inspire courage affect also your damages :)
I've taken the liberty of moving Jair and enlarging and moving Numair on the map. You guys should be able to move yourselves, now.
Imrana and Rendala are up next!
F HP: 37(48)/37(48) | AC: 16 T: 12(16 vs incorp.) FF: 14| CMB/CMD: 3/15 DF: 5/7 F+4 R+4 W+4 (+2 vs death)| Init +4(always act in surprise rounds) Perc +8
"Be careful, Rendala! This chair appears to be quite deadly!"
Imrana fires another magic missile from her wand from back behind the cover of the bookcase.
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
The chair is rocked again as it take 2 more HP of damage.
Rendala is up!
Half-orc Bard (Comedian) HP: -3/8 | AC: 14 T: 12 FF: 12 | CMB/CMD: 0/12 F+1 R+4 W+2 | Init +2 Perc +4
Rendala will continue to inspire courage, and take another 5' step back.
No time to fill in a joke right now, think of your favorite and that's the one I used.
The chair attacks the nearest intruder (Numair):
Slam: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17, Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 (Ouch! Sorry guys.)
He takes 7 HP of damage. The party is up again!
AC18(T12,FF16) CMD16| HP 61/70| F +9 R +5 W +14 | Init +1, Perc +7, Sense Motive +15 | Haste
This time, Jair used her wand on Numair
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
She looked at her wand what this crap ?!
Half-orc Bard (Comedian) HP: -3/8 | AC: 14 T: 12 FF: 12 | CMB/CMD: 0/12 F+1 R+4 W+2 | Init +2 Perc +4
Anyone have any fire? Burninate that thing.
F HP: 37(48)/37(48) | AC: 16 T: 12(16 vs incorp.) FF: 14| CMB/CMD: 3/15 DF: 5/7 F+4 R+4 W+4 (+2 vs death)| Init +4(always act in surprise rounds) Perc +8
Imrana looks away, ashamed at her lack of preparesness.
"I do not have any fire magic yet. I have not made a priority, as fire is a common resistance and immunity."
Imrana fires another magic missile from her wand.
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
"Force damage always works, unless they have a Shield spell up, of course. I do not think this chair has arcane training."
She smiles to herself.
'The Grandidierite Sage' Male Half-Elf Sorceror 10 (HP 82/82) (AC 17/10/17) (CMD 13) (Fort +8, Ref +5, Will +9) (Init +6) (Perception +23)
Numair groans as he returns to consciousness.
Currently staggered.
The chair takes 4 more damage from Imrana. Since Numair is "down", it 5-foot-steps to attack Jair.
Slam: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12, Miss!
The party is up!
AC18(T12,FF16) CMD16| HP 61/70| F +9 R +5 W +14 | Init +1, Perc +7, Sense Motive +15 | Haste
Eh ! Don't come near me ! Chair ! said Jair
She used again her wand on Numair before taking a 5ft. step away from the chair.
Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
'The Grandidierite Sage' Male Half-Elf Sorceror 10 (HP 82/82) (AC 17/10/17) (CMD 13) (Fort +8, Ref +5, Will +9) (Init +6) (Perception +23)
Numair goes total defense, stands up, and 5' steps away from the chair.
As Numair stands, the chair takes an attack of opportunity.
AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
:-(
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Imrana and Rendala are up.
'The Grandidierite Sage' Male Half-Elf Sorceror 10 (HP 82/82) (AC 17/10/17) (CMD 13) (Fort +8, Ref +5, Will +9) (Init +6) (Perception +23)
Yeah, well, there was jack I could do about it - I was going to provoke an AoO whatever I did :-/
Half-orc Bard (Comedian) HP: -3/8 | AC: 14 T: 12 FF: 12 | CMB/CMD: 0/12 F+1 R+4 W+2 | Init +2 Perc +4
Rendala will continue to inspire, and she'll try attacking the cushion in the seat part.
rapier: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 2 + 1 = 21 and if she hits will deal 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 damage (maybe)
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 2 + 1 = 15 and if she confirms will deal 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 damage (maybe).
Then she'll five foot back again.
Rendala hits. As she fears, however, the chair isn't all that damaged. Knowledge(Arcana) to know more.
AC18(T12,FF16) CMD16| HP 61/70| F +9 R +5 W +14 | Init +1, Perc +7, Sense Motive +15 | Haste
Again Jair used her wand on Numair
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Half-orc Bard (Comedian) HP: -3/8 | AC: 14 T: 12 FF: 12 | CMB/CMD: 0/12 F+1 R+4 W+2 | Init +2 Perc +4
F HP: 37(48)/37(48) | AC: 16 T: 12(16 vs incorp.) FF: 14| CMB/CMD: 3/15 DF: 5/7 F+4 R+4 W+4 (+2 vs death)| Init +4(always act in surprise rounds) Perc +8
Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
After Numair falls unconcious, Imrana's face takes on an expression of concern.
"Rendala, perhaps fight defensively to keep it distracted? I think I am wearing it down!"
Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Imrana rocks the chair again.
I'm not sure what Rendala rolled.
F HP: 37(48)/37(48) | AC: 16 T: 12(16 vs incorp.) FF: 14| CMB/CMD: 3/15 DF: 5/7 F+4 R+4 W+4 (+2 vs death)| Init +4(always act in surprise rounds) Perc +8
I'm guessing knowledge arcana with bardic knowledge?
Half-orc Bard (Comedian) HP: -3/8 | AC: 14 T: 12 FF: 12 | CMB/CMD: 0/12 F+1 R+4 W+2 | Init +2 Perc +4
Yah, sorry, on phone, my bad.
No worries. :-)
In the heat of battle, Rendala is unable to identify the Animated Object.
'The Grandidierite Sage' Male Half-Elf Sorceror 10 (HP 82/82) (AC 17/10/17) (CMD 13) (Fort +8, Ref +5, Will +9) (Init +6) (Perception +23)
What about Imrana's roll?
Numair groans as he returns to consciousness.
"If someone could draw it away so that I can stand up, I might just be able to deal some damage to the blasted thing!"
Staying prone and inoffensive for the moment.
