[PFS][Level 3-5] DM Ranginui runs The Midnight Mirror (Inactive)

Game Master Tangaroa

"There's only one way of being sure. Who wants to check first?"

"Ladies first, I suppose," Kris states, investigating this effect.

Baldwyn strains his ears to hear any sort of movement beyond the party's, either from the room or the hall.

The mistress of bones makes it halfway across the room when she gives pause. An intense feeling of displeasure seems to emanate from the walls themselves; Kris has the feeling that the soul of the midnight mirror does not like it when folks trespass in its toyroom.

In a flash, dozens of previously harmless objects in the room transform from blunt to razor sharp, and two chairs take on a life of their own! They scuttle over, making to attack the intruder. The silver raven is one of the few objects in the room not to undergo a transformation.

Shandor shoots a freezing beam from his fingers, aimed at the southern chair.

Is there a save to avoid the damage and half speed restriction?

Kris makes her way to the southeastern corner of the room, pointedly cursing the unhelpful toys. damage for kris: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

Upon reaching whatever the object in the corner is, the announces she "has a new toy to play house with!" She uses her Raise the Dead revelation to bring forth a zombie (who appears between her and the closer chair!)

slam: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 221d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Guilford draws his wand again and sends a bolt into the chair Kris' zombie attacked.

Shandor's ray hits true, but it's energy is harmlessly dissipated by the objects tough exterior. The wizards magic missiles, meanwhile, blow away a small chunk of a chair, while Kris' zombie lands a solid blow. However, some of the zombie's force is absorbed by the faux-wood.

One of the chairs throws itself at the zombie but misses, while the other chair moves over to Kris and lands true with it's attack!

Leastrie moves into the room and attacks the chair, attacking Kris!

Baldwyn moves into the room but cannot move to the side due to movement issues. He then swings at the object by Leastrie.

Chuurock looks into the room at the animated objects, and sees how everyone is stepping gingerly on the floor, and has no idea what to do.

Lacking a better idea, he casts Guidance on Baldwyn.

Balwyn's powerful attack misses, but the Pharasman priest provides him with a minor blessing to aid his next strike. Leastrie's blade strikes true, yet much of the force is absorbed by the chair's magical toughness.

Considering the fact his elemental ray has no effect on the wood, Shandor delays, pondering what he could do to make himself useful.

Kris will use her pick to try to help the polearm "master" hit as it whittles away her False Life! Meanwhile, the zombie continues to slam on the chair presented to him! 48+5/48 HP

I suppose I should have put this up in something other than my profile.

Guilford aims his wand at the chair and sends another bolt its way.

Magic missiles streak through the darkness and rotted flesh hits shadowstuff as the battle for baubles rages on.

The chair attacking the zombie leaps up and lands an incredibly well placed blow with its leg - fortunately, it is only a dinner chair, not a mighty throne; the blow is feeble. The chair puts an eye out of the zombie that the undead wasn't using anyways.

The other chair lands a glancing blow on Kris.

Chuurock will cast another Guidance on Baldwyn after he attacks.

Leastrie hacks at the north chair with his blade, but misses badly.

Baldwyn tries again to hit the damn thing with a powerful blow and the Guidance to aid him.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 = 22
1d12 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

The polearm smashes into the chair assaulting Kris, but a few animated chunks continue to move.

My Fetchling Zombie will 5' step up to the more injured chair and try to finish it, relying on DR to ignore the magic Legos trap!

With the unnatural strength the zombie smashes one of the chairs!

Shandor is still in delay, guilford is up!

Sorry I realized I was a bit unclear; the Northern chair has been destroyed.

Guilford uses his wand once more!

The remaining chair waddles after the zombie fetchling and ineffectually kicks at the creatures feet. With the repeated battering assaults upon it, this chair now appears only slightly less twisted then the rest of the junk in this room.

Leastrie moves past Kris and into a flanking position with the zombie, the chops at the chair.

The elven curved blade slices through the darkness, and Leastrie ends the faux-life of the chair.

Nothing else seems to stir in this room, and besides the magical silver bauble little of worth remains in the room. Those trapped within the room carefully pick their way among the sharp trash to extricate themselves.

As they limp out there is a low growl that seems to emanate from vibrations in the floor itself.

Baldwyn, Kris and Leastrie have numerous, painful splinters of wood in their legs which continue to hinder their movement. Simple curative magic would suffice to eject the foreign objects, however.

Leastrie pulls out his wand of healing and holds it out to Chuurock. "Would you mind using this on me? And anyone else who needs it for that matter."

Leastrie looks around after his feet begin to lose the pincushion sensation. "Next room then? Anyone have any idea what that sound was?"

After about 10 seconds of groaning, the summoned undead dissipates into nothingness as Kris pries out jagged pieces of wood from her legs.

Baldwyn pulls out his own wand and makes the same request. "Ripped straight through my boot leather..."

"What a fiendish place this is." groans the orcish sorcerer. "I can't wait to find out what is up next..."

"At this rate? Mirrored corridors and phosphoresent paint. ... What? Just because I can't spell phosphoresent doesn't mean I don't know what it is!"

"Of course, I am happy to use these on your behalf." After Baldwyn's healing wand is used, the half-orc looks to the others. Do you still need more healing?"[/b]

Trying to consider whether to do a channel, try a heal check on Kris, or what's most appropriate.

See the discussion thread. Either are appropriate.

I did. I'm also thinking about what state the other two are currently in . . ..

Colorado

Jerk! <grin>

As the six approach the door barring the way to Elenuta, they can barely hear her manic ranting through the door.

"Trakis, I feel it! The next time we find our way out of this room, we will win our freedom! And then... their heads, Trakis, we shall mount them on pikes to show the fate of those who imprison the righteous and the just!"

A male voice responds.
"Yes mistress... wait, do you hear us? Something at the door!"

The ranting goes silent.

Chuurock has a bit of insight after hearing the tone of this woman; she is very likely to be unreasonable, possibly insane from her captivity. Her voice was very unsteady and she sounded like she was talking for her own benefit, not to her follower.

Shandor tries to activate the chime on two occasions, then allows for Baldwyn or Leastrie to go in first.

Baldwyn opens the door wider allowing Leastrie to take point.

Assuming you went to the next closest door with an average lock, the chime works.

The six move to the western room in the central structure, whereupon Shandor manages to open the lock using the Chimes magic. Baldwyn opens the door and peers inside.

This elegant room resembles a fine dining room on the Material Plane, spread with a feast fit for a great lord. A stairway in the room’s northwest corner leads up to another floor.

The western wall oozes the same black ichor as seen in the portrait room and the hallway to the north.

Shandor glances through the door and casts a spell to empower his vision with the gift of seeing magic auras. Casting detect magic from outside the room to scan it.

Once (or if) he's assured that everything should be safe, he steps inside to inspect this black ichor on the wall. "This black ichor again... could this be a path leading to the Heart?"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the black ichor seep from the four walls of the "center room"? Could we surmise the Heart would be there? Is it apparently possible to go through the ooze? Hence my detect magic to see if there are magical means to go that way.

Yes, the black ichor seeps from the walls of the same room. There doesn't seem to be an easy or magical route through the walls, although they do appear less structurally sound then the other walls

Where's adamantine when you need it?...

Peering at the wall, Baldwyn turns to the others. "Need I make a doorway, or is there another way in?"

Leastrie helps Baldwyn look around the room.
