SO Crypt of the Everflame (Inactive)

Game Master ScorchedOne

There is indeed a magical key at the bottom. On finding it, Dragall notes that it does in fact fit the Western door.

Oops, I typed Diplomacy when I meant Perception. Anyway, moving on!

Western Room.

A small stone bench sits in the center of this dusty chamber. On the far wall is a faded mural depicting the hero Kassen defeating the mercenaries at the entrance to this crypt, with his blade piercing the chest of the mercenary leader. These figures stand alone in the center of a scene of carnage, with dead villagers and mercenaries all around them.

Kara moves into the doorway for a closer look.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Nothing here, guys! Certainly not a big, slavering monster just around the corner! Seems perfectly safe.

Oops, I typed Diplomacy when I meant Perception. Anyway, moving on!

I LOLed when I read that :)

He will concentrate again and see if he detects any evil auras around him.

Dragall puts back on his armor and goes to see what is in the western room.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Then he tries to detect magic.

You detect neither magic nor evil. Your perceptions do not discern anything additional about the room.

I did put the new map up for the passage with the statues.

I don't see anything in the room. I guess we're going to meet our new friends in the hallway. Everyone take a look and see if you can figure out what might trigger them.

I've already rolled Perception on the hallway I think. If Kara can Take 20 she will do so.

Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17 just to make sure that they didnt miss anything in the room.

Dragall enters hallway and looks carefully.
perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Tip toe, through the tulips, lol

Talondreal notices that both Kassen and the mercenary leader are wearing golden necklaces, each made up of a simple golden chain, from which hangs an oddly shaped medallion. While not identical, the amulets look similar.

Those looking down the hallway aren't able to find any triggers or other methods, but are fairly certain that the reason those sets of blades which are wrapped, is that you will be struck by them.

If Talondreal calls Dragall to see medallions he casts detect magic.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The medallions are simply part of a mural, they are not magical.

Kara tries pressing the medallion on Kassen.

Hmmm...I wonder if we need to press both at once? Why are they the same?

Rizzok examines the scene as well.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Would Rizzok be able to reach one of those amulets on the mural?

He points out the medallions/

The amulets on the mural are just that, on the mural. They are not physical objects which can be interacted with.

Dragall exits the room and goes further.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Now I am also lost. I no longer know where we were and where we are going. Can GM put the whole map and cover the parts that we did not pass? So I have a picture in my head where we are currently.

He follow the half orc, sword at the ready

Added overall map.

Thank you!

Thanks!

I did put Dragall's token on the map

Dragall goes through hallway.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

He opens the door on the end of the hallway.

Dragall begins walking through the corridor, but just before stepping in between the second set of statues, he sees a pressure plate, which looks like it is what would cause the statues to swing their swords.

Dragall jumps over pressure plate.
jump: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19

"Guys here is a pressure plate. Make sure you do not step on it."

He then goes and tries to open the door on the end of the hallway.

Can we avoid the pressure plate or do we need to make a jump or other type of roll?

There would be a roll of some sort to avoid the pressure plate. Jump DC 5, you cannot take 10, or a disable on the trap.

One half of this lofty chamber has a lowered floor, with stairs on either side to reach the bottom. Standing opposite the door is a tall wooden statue of Kassen grasping a gigantic wooden shield in each hand. One of the shields is inscribed with the word “home,” while the other reads “family.”

Dragall is waiting for his friends to come to him before he enters the room.

He approaches

The big map is much appreciated, but it looks like Dragall is about to enter the room where we dived down to get the key at the bottom of the well. Is that accurate? In any case, Kara follows her new best friend Dragall whereever he goes.

As I mentioned in spoiler, the room at the right with the fountain is where the diving took place. I made an error in corresponding rooms to room numbers.

If anyone feels they would have difficulty jumping over the plate, let me know and I will try to disarm it. Otherwise, it would be best to mark the trap and leap.

"I showed you where it was! Deactivate the trap! And let's move on!"

Deactivating a trap is not without risk and the risk would be mine, not yours, so we will do this my way, not yours.

I will heal you if needed!
So when you are already there why don't you jump over!

There was also considerable risk with fighting the shadow, rat-kin. We all bear the risk in these endeavors. Some more than others in given situations

"So guys, shall we enter this room or what?!"

Only Kara stands near Dragall on the map.

Bearing risk when not necessary is not bravery, it is folly. But if you uncertain of your leaping ability...

Rizzok works on disarming the trap.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Rizzok believes he has deactivated the trap.

I am more certain of your ability to disarm the trap than I am of my ability to jump the trap, especially in my weakened condition he states

My work is done. After you, Rizzok gestures.

Bluff: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

I suppose everyone came to Dragall.

Dragall enters the room, holding his greataxe.
perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

The half elf does as well, sword at the ready
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 perception

Kara enters, Detect Magic at the ready.

Assuming Talondreal doesn't become a victim of the trap, Rizzok will follow.
