"I was grounded by indignation. But I'm over it." Marckus says with passing indignation.

Surprisingly, Kronug doesn't yells or insults or threatens the imaginary judge in his mind.
He simply death-stares him for long seconds before turning to the others "We go now, the trap has been disarmed successfully."

Marckus checks the next door for traps.
Traps or nah?: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 4 = 29

Actually this just happened in D7, and the door to the east is what blowed up on you all. Examining it, you fail to find any traps.

Oh, my bad.
Well better safe than sorry I guess.

You head into D8 opening the door.

Unlike the other rooms of this place, this large chamber has been restored to its former beauty. Polished white marble gleams from the walls, carved in the likeness of dancing and frolicking elves. Along one wall is a gigantic sparkling pool of crystal clear water, behind which stands a gateway made of the purest alabaster, carefully shaped to look like a ring of leaves. In the center of the pool, a comely elven maiden reclines on a tremendous floating leaf.

Kronug weights his options. On one hand he has already fallen for the water weirdo thingy. On the other hand hot elven maiden.

This duality, this constant fight in the innermost part of a man's soul... this s++~e doesn't happen inside of Kronug, who starts walking towards the pool giving it only a quick check out look.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
"If this is another water stuff trap, take my friends because they are tastier. But if you are some sort of maiden in distress, I am your man." says the kellid as he flexes his biceps and smiles.
Charisma because why not: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

"No, I am an ancient spirit who has ben bound here by the drow for ages. I'm actually just curious about the world going on outside this room. I heard some sort of tussle and a boom outside beyond the doors. Is there a war going on or something?"

"There was supposed to be, but we're kiiiiind of handling it. By ourselves, it feels like." Marckus says looking to the others. "Right? Feels that way?" he asks, waiting for affirmation.

Rags looks around and detects magic.

perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

"Aren't you a little skinny to be an elf maiden?" he asks in elven.

Kronug turns to answer Punchy with a grin but remembers that two of his friends are elven... so he speaks in orcish.

Returning his meager attention to the hot elven ghost. "Sooo, you are bond here? What for, babe? I mean, I would love to smash the wizardry away and let you go but we've been dicked over before nd I'd rather not repeat the experience."

Jean stays some distance away, ready to attack after the "elf maiden" eats Kronug.

Marckus stays some distance away, ready to attack after Kronug eats the "elf maiden".
Let's be honest, there's risk on both sides here.

Ulthar tries to think of what spells can keep a spirit imprisoned in a room.

You should kill it anyway. Safer.

"I'm not talking to you in front of people."

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Am I gonna have to "eat-steal" Kronug too to keep this roller coaster going?

You know there are some spells that likely do it, but you can't recall which ones.

"They used me to maintain the gate behind me, but the Drow leader who had the key to it has already departed. "

"where does the gate lead to? "

-Posted with Wayfinder

"I believe it is to some city in the Darklands. I've never been through it. It went somewhere else originally I think. The trap binding be here won't let me leave this leaf as long as it floats in the pool, so I don't go far. "

"if needed will you allow us to use the gate or are you bound by the magic to only permit its use by drow? "

-Posted with Wayfinder

"As I mentioned before, the gate doesn't work right now since the Drow with the key already moved on. I have no objections to you using it if you can get the key. "

"are there multiple keys? Or is it a single unique key? "

-Posted with Wayfinder

"Is the key a physical one or some sort of metaphorical s!+#? God, I hope our hard earned treasure isn't metaphorical..."

"It is a physical key- well a gem actually. The portal is attuned to it. There's only one. "

"Would you know perhaps, where this future cadaver has absconded to?"

"He went through the other door in here. I think there's another gate or something in there. It goes someplace weird. "

Does she look like this?Gate keeper?..

Kinda.

"So, should we go run after this key thing? Or should we finish our mission here? Or are they the same?"

"Well if you're going somewhere, I don't suppose you could drag my leaf over so I can get out of this pool. I'd really like to leave and have been here for ages. "

Detect B&$#~~&*: 1d20 ⇒ 16

"How about we let the real lords of this place decide about your freedom after the drow are cleaned out? We're just the hired help and not really cleared for big decisions."

She starts muttering something.

Kronug, I need a will save DC 22. Remember you are not raging.

I knew it... also, I think Superstition applies even out of rage, unless the opposite is stated somewhere outside the rage power description.

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 4 = 23

Superstition is a rage power. It only applies during rage. Hence the name 'rage power'.

You fail and feel a compulsion to head into the water and help the nice lady.

"What ya' doin' Kronug?" Rags asks the slackjawed barbarian.

Marckus goes in for the tackle. "Don't kill me for this."
Grapple: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
It's a thing of beauty as Marckus flies through the air and latches onto Kronug like a tick.

Ulthar hold up a white card with a 10 on it.

Marckus yells "SPOON!" and grapples Kronug.

I don't remember it happening exactly that way.

I can't help your memory.

Jean approach the maiden.
"You seem like a nice lad. But ensorcering our friend here was not nice. I will let you out if you promise to behave nice from now on. And Kronug will probably ask for some kind of apology."
He smiles wickedly.
Diplomacy Check: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 (+1 more if Potentially Sexually Attracted)

I should probably ask for initiatives since we are in combat now. Once in combat, diplomacy can't be used.

init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Initiative Roll: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Maybe so, but Jean will tell her about his proposal anyhow.

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

I miss that old 3.5 feat that allowed you to enter rage as an immediate action :(
Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

initiative: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Rags flanks around next to the double doors and lays an Evil Eye hex on the naughty elf maiden for -2 saves. (DC19 Will Save, 8 round duration, 1 round duration if saved)

will save: 1d20 ⇒ 2 nopers

"Woah woah woah.....I see what you're doing! There's no need to take advantage of our weak willed friend. That's not nice. We can work this out"

init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

will save: 1d20 ⇒ 2 nopers

Finally got one of those to work

Init: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
