The key itself is not magical. It is whatever is beneath the cloth in the shrine.

Sir Geoffrey soon removes the covering, revealing... a mirror.

As he did this slowly, you can avoid looking into it if you want. Or maybe you do want to see what secrets are hidden within...

Being somewhat superstitious, Amiri avoids her gaze.

Jair is curious but prefer to let someone else take a look at the mirror before looking herself in it.

Once Liminy realizes the necromantic item was a mirror "Don't look at it! Although, How do we examine an item that may be dangerous to look at? Cover it back up for now."

Sir Godfrey will abide by Liminy's sudden warning and keep his eyes averted from the mirror. Which will make covering it back over more difficult, but he makes a good (if awkward) show of it over the next thirty seconds or so, first covering himself with the drape more than the shrine before finally getting the mirror blocked from sight. "Well, if you fear looking at it to be too dangerous, I think we not examine it at all. I am inclined to simply smash it for being a shrine of evil."

"Is it evil? Not all Necromancy is evil you know. But the odds are pretty good that a magic mirror in this place is dangerous."

Lantern Lodge

Silent tide map

There is certainly evil in that mirror, or perhaps it has just so long lain in a wicked place it is now tainted. Theodore gasps in horror for a moment, but maybe that is just the ale speaking.

Quickly the mirror is covered back up again.

Theodore hiccups. "I sank into a void and I saw some weird giant eyes looking at me through the mirror. Whoever looking at me was unmistakably evil."

"Should we do something with this mirror? Cayden isn't very fond of evil, but I also don't want 7 years of bad luck."

I say let it be. If we think that it could be helpful to use it later. If not, Zarta could be interested in it.

Lantern Lodge

Silent tide map

You hear the sound of movement near the entrance, as the other sages gather to share their findings. Each pair has had their own harrowing encounters with undead, diseases and curse magic, although your group seems to have faired the worst.

Checking the secret bottom in the tomb that Sir Godfrey located it turns into stairs leading lower into the complex.

"It seems the best way forward is through that secret passage you discovered !"

Heading further inward you come to a vast library that holds stacks of books filling every ward-inscribed shelf. The room’s design draws the eye toward a central ritual area, inscribed with arcane markings as complex and nuanced as a living mind.

Before following the Sages, Jair says.

May be, before what coming next, we can heal ourselves and use what Liminy created?

Drawing the scroll that Zartha gave her, Jair uses it on herself.

Restoration with 100gp of component

"Anyone else need that as well?" Theodore says. He always carries 1,000 gp of diamond dust and prepares a Restoration, just in case. ;)

He will cast on Numair if he pipes up.

If I have it right, the cure will also provide immunity/resistance for a few hours. Assuming that's true, Godfrey will strong suggest everyone drink one, including himself since I had to make a fort save in there at some point.

"I am doing quite well, friend Theodore. I will continue storm ahead down this pathway I found at the behest of the sages. Once you and the others feel able to continue." The large, shiny paladin will stand by calmly, but alert, as he waits for the others to recover. Then he'll happily stomp down the path at the front of the party towards whatever new troubles wait.

"Whatever is in store for us we should be healthy for it. I agree we should take the cure now."

Liminy will take a cure.

Lantern Lodge

Silent tide map

Liminy feels much better after taking the cure. Even Sir Godfrey feels bolstered.

In the library Amenopheus explains that he has prepared a group ritual that can draw out the malignant presence in the sage jewels so that the assembled sages and Pathfinders can bind, banish, or destroy the entity.

"You can assist if you like, but the nature of the ritual is complex. Casting spells or using magical items - even something as simple as drinking a potion - could have disastrous side effects. After all, anything capable of possessing a sage jewel, but hijack another magic item or process..."

We're going to start with the preparation phase, if you want to have previously taken the cure, that is fine, just make it clear.

You may each either help directly or assist another (please do call out if you are assisting - in particular who you are assisting).

To help prepare you could clear the area of extraneous debris and identify any damage that needs to be repaired quickly (Perception or Survival check). Alternatively, you can provide academic and technical assistance while properly aligning the components, drawing ritual diagrams, and the like ( Knowledge [arcana, planes, or religion] or Linguistics check).

Or you could put up your feet and watch... it is dangerous work.

Of those my best option is Perception. Does that make me a bad Wizard? But no, Liminy won't sit back and move heavy objects when he could be involved in something so exciting. He will aid them with translating. Do we get to pick one of the sages to be with us during this part? If yes to we get their bonus?

"I look forward to helping however I can."

Liminy will look around the place while the Sages set up.

Linguistics check if needed now:

Not just at the moment, this is just the PF team helping out. If everyone can pick how they help (if they want to, either directly or via aid another of another PF who is making the actual skill check) and make your rolls that would be great

@Theodore: As much as I would love to have my negative levels cured, right now, casting that spell on me would just make me weaker, so I will avoid it, thank-you :-/

That said, I will happily take one of the cures, although OOC, it looks like it won't work on me :-P

Sir Godfrey will happily assist everyone else in assisting Numair to scour the room for imperfections in the work, but doesn't make an effort to do anything on his own. The last time he tried that he caused a minor explosion in the Grand Lodge.

Mostly the team just scouts around looking for dangers and removing them. Jair and Liminy however are able to help with preparation in a slighlty more direct way, though everyone's assistance is appreciated.

Last chance for having declared you have taken the cure.

The sages gather around and start the ritual. Amenopheus takes the lead.

Again you can assist if you choose to

Yopu can help maintain the rite’s cadence (Linguistics or Perform check) or monitor the ritual and provide additional support where it’s needed most (Knowledge [arcana or religion] or Spellcraft check). Again you may aid-another if you would prefer (and are trained) or not participate if you so choose.

Sir Godfrey puts his hand on Theodore's shoulder to try and halt his efforts at guiding the cadence. "Good friend, you have many skills, but I fear this is not one of them. You are missing the timing by a good half-step. Follow along with me!"

Godfrey will clap out the smoothest rhythm he can to keep the time of the chanting, trying to bring not only Theodore back in line, but to get the ritual flowing correctly. "You should come to the Ivy district more, they have classes where you can learn many arts to hone yourself with."

Amri and Jair also suffer from ritual backlash.

The sages present their sage jewels, bringing forth the topaz, emerald, amethyst, diamond, sapphire, spinel, onyx, and the shards of the ruby in turn. Amenopheus produces a silver pendant set with an obsidian crystal and places it at the focus. The sage jewels blaze with light as shadows gather, rising up until a whirlwind stands contained within pillars of light emanating from the gems... and suddenly ceases. The sages are utterly still and unseeing, and distortions form around each sage jewel, emitting faint cries for help. At the center of this storm forms a spectral being: a frail, dark-haired woman of middle years wearing the silver pendant. A ring of lights orbits her head, matching
the colors of the sage jewels. She looks around the room as a child inspects an anthill and an eerie murmur echoes through the room: “So much time has passed. I have so much catching up to do...

Along with the ghostly form, another also appears, this one is a knight. Quickly looking around all the sages appear stunned or... paralysed? by the ritual.

perception DC10:
In front of each Sages gem there is a small distortion, like that of the memory field that you saw earlier. Entering these may be a way to help free the sages...

Amenopheus blinks and slowly turns to look at you all.

Meanwhile you are all assaulted by foul memories. You see a girl picking up a rock and smashing it again and again into a young boy. When he is throughly dead she takes a crust of bread from his hand and ravenously devours it.

Will DC 15 for everyone or be sickened.

Note for everyone, to enter a mindscape is a full round action, so you can only do it if you are adjacent (or a 5' step away) from a sage. If you wish to coordinate your actions, multiple pathfinders can try to rouse the same sage at the same time.

Numair:

A weary and worn Amenopheus sits alone in a room before a pile of books and scrolls. The Ruby Prince Khemet III enters, sick and frail. Amenopheus grasps at scroll after scroll, but each crumbles to dust at his touch. Khemet III turns away in disgust. Grandmaster Torch enters and presents two sage jewels, one deep green and the other brilliant yellow. Amenopheus eagerly trades everything he has for them, only to watch the jewels fracture in his hands. Tahonikepsu enters, knocks Amenopheus to the floor, and takes his chair. He lies crumpled on the ground, then the scene flickers and repeats.
I need three skill checks from you, a choice of diplomacy, history, nobility or perform(comedy or oratory); don't forget your sickened condition, but you do get +2 from your earlier successes with the ritual.

Numair steps up to Amenopheus to try to break the sage out of the hold memories seem to have on him.

The knight, who wears the crook-and-flail symbol of Osiris, looks around and charges Sir Godfrey. "You must destroy me, before I destroy you!" he screams Sir Godfrey feels the unusual touch of fear upon his soul.
You are not currently immune to fear while hte knight is so close to you. I'm assuming you do not have a weapon out as you are participing in the ritual.

The ritual is over now, so you can use spells without concern for the ritual.

Liminy steps up to Tahonikepsu..

Liminy:

You have a will save against the sickness to make still

An enormous violet dragon tiptoes through a library filled with mewling humanoid children. Everywhere she turns she has to cautiously avoid crushing another helpless creature, and they cry out in alarm whenever she turns her attention to the truly interesting texts. She lies down in weary frustration.

You can assist her in carrying out her work, help her relax, or remind her of her responsibilities. Please make three checks of your choice: Diplomacy, fly, nobility, linguistics, any perform, or prof(librarian or teacher). You get +2 on these checks from your earlier successes in the ritual.

The ghost chants and a horrible bilious cloud of noxious fumes billows out.

GM Aerondor:
Numair talks calmly and rationally with the Sage, pointing out that what he is seeing is not real; it is a mental construct, designed to bewitch, and confuse him. Moreover, he is needed in the waking world to deal with the current threat to the Order.
