The entire ship, as noted, is magical. So many aura's interacting makes it hard to make out any given one. However the door does seem to have some type of enchantment spell on it, which is a little different to the other aura's Alvin has seen in his quick inspection of the boat.
Sir Godfrey stands in front of the door next to the axe.
|
Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained eh?
Logan draws out a slender pale wand tipped with a series of small diamonds. Activating it he vanishes from sight.
Approaching the door he examines it carefully, running his fingers lightly over the surface and looking for any way it can be opened.
|
Sir Godfrey weighs the axe in his free hand, comparing it to his sword before swinging it over his back for possible later use. He loses any sight of Logan when the man vanishes, but assumes he hasn't drifted too far and stays near the door ready to do the stand up front and take hits thing with his shadow close at hand. "If you magical folk deem it appropriate, I shall march in first forthright and take the brunt of whatever devils wait upon the other side as is my duty as a protector of all under the Dawnflower's light."
He also whacks himself with his wand 1 more time for easier bookkeeping, and cause otherwise that 1 hp would wind up mattering.

Logan searches around for a wand, gives it a quick wave and vanishes. After a few moments the "door" changes back to a solid appearance.
A crystalline grill is inset into a bulkhead with an aperture in the overhead that is blocked by a seamless crystal plug. Side chambers appear empty but have meat hooks and hanging nets embedded in the overhead to provide storage for foodstuffs and other supplies.
Looking forward (towards the 5 on the map) Logan sees a strangely shaped cabin stretcheing forward, its dimensions being difficult to make out due to its alien features. Odd, man-sized cubicles seem to be stacked into the bulkheads themselves throughout the room, but whether sleeping berths, holding cells, or simply shelving is unclear. Their true purpose is further masked by the growths of ghostlike plant life that hang throughout the room. Like thick tendrils of ivy and great curling leaves, these colorless tangles and shoots mat the walls, twist upon the deck, and dangle in curtains from the overhead, eerily shifting in and out of phase as they protrude through solid surfaces and each other alike. It is as if sections of them are wholly present and other parts are mere ghost reflections of the strange plant life. The result is a wraithlike maze of otherworldly growths and tangles.

oh my, this doesn't look forboding at all, no, no way...what the hell have I gotten myself in to, what are those weird plant things? Why are they growing through the walls...?
best check I have an exit before pushing on
With that Logan will see whether or not he can communicate with the group via message while inside the room and then if it is possible to leave the same way he arrived.
|
|
Logan rummages around in his handy haversack, as ever finding just what he wanted on the top. He draws out a scroll of dimension door and weighs it in one hand.
hmm, not just yet
He pops it back into the bag and draws out a potion. He scans the door for even the slightest crack that might allow air to pass through...
let's give it one more go, just in case
Putting the potion away he tries to press his way through the portal.
|
|
Not really. There are no gaps as such to go through while it is closed to you.
For those of you wondering what Logan is up to (probably stealing the treasure and the princess) and with your detect magics going, you realize that the axe that was lying on the ground is certainly magical as well.
|
|
The door sealing will be distressing for the paladin. Squishy and soft spellcasters should never be off alone, and particularly not going first into dangerous areas with now sealed doors. After he's certain something doesn't seem right Godfrey will step up to the door and try to press on it and pass through. "I do believe a villainous trap has been sprung, my fellows!"
In the meantime he'll meaningfully jerk his head towards the door while staring at his shadow.

Godfrey pushes his way through the doorway. Which then reverts back to its rippling form.
Godfrey appears through the portal.
A crystalline grill is inset into a bulkhead with an aperture in the overhead that is blocked by a seamless crystal plug. Side chambers appear empty but have meat hooks and hanging nets embedded in the overhead to provide storage for foodstuffs and other supplies.
Looking forward (towards the 5 on the map) Logan sees a strangely shaped cabin stretching forward, its dimensions being difficult to make out due to its alien features.

There is no sign of Logan.
Moments later a horde of four armed creatures appear around the room.
Going through the portal is a one person per round thing, although once someone starts to go through, someone else could try and push through with them at the same time.

Oh bloody hell this is going to hurt isn't it, I could just leave it to Godfrey but if he bites it I will have to listen to Riddy whine for the entire trip.....but then, he's a paladin, what's the chances these things will take him down....too much of a risk, ugh, this is about to get ugly...
Flying up to the ceiling to create as much space as he can for anyone else following Godfrey through the portal Logan thrusts out one hand, wincing a little. His blood burns as he draws on his fey heritage and a ripple of magical energy engulfs the rear section of the cabin, flowing over the back two four armed creatures.
With a pop, and an oh b~%!#!+s Logan promptly becomes visible.
Take the ones to the sides Godfrey!
He casts confusion. It is a 15'r burst which can clearly catch green and blue. I don't think I can hit yellow without also getting Godfrey which I don't want to risk doing.
If they are affected then they need a DC26 will save to avoid 11 rounds of confusion.

Giovanni pushes through the doorway but finds he has little space to move into with what appears to be the start of a battle on the other side. While he stands in the doorway, it remains open.

Sir Godfrey doesn't get much of a chance to respond to Logan's words before creatures start appearing around them and block their way. He may have stayed perfectly still at first, but it's hard to tell since he springs into action.
Something seems to have affected the two in front as Logan appears, so the paladin turns his blade onto the red creature. "Aha, it was a trap! Evil can't fool me!"

Sir Godfrey lashes out with his massive sword, taking the red creature in the throat with his backswing.

Ragnar drops four arrows into the blue creature and it drops. His last shot against the green one misses.
When Gwynnis jumps through the doorway Bad Things(tm) start to happen.
As she passes through the door a ghostly figure appears and reaches out to her..
She feels the chill of the grave, but manages to avoid it, just in time.
The confused creature irate at being attacked by Ragnar moves up to him, ignoring all the others around.
The yellow creature attacks Logan.
Three of his images vanish
The Red one also attacks, but poorly.
In the back room where most of the new creatures appeared one attacks Alvin
And pulls him close into an embrace.
Two others flank Ragnar and attack him.
The black ones tries to grapple him but fails.
Still, he feels his body slowing down...

by all the gods this goes from bad to worse! s$#@ s!@* s$&$. whattodo, whattodo, whattodo...I can't stand up to another attack like that but Alvin is in trouble...
Clear the area if you can Ragnar!
He turns back to consider his own fate and sighs a little, making small, watery, burbling noises. He raises one hand and points at the creature grappling Alvin.
DC27 will save, each round it gets a new save as a full round action which does not provoke.
Hopefully the rest of the group can deal with some of the others.

If there is space to do so he will then fly over red to make some room, squeezing if necessary as he goes and he will move to the marked point. This will provoke from basically everything. If he would have to acrobatics through red then he will stay where he is as he has zero chance of success.
