no change after Conner pours the water back in.
"Hey Letha, did you happen to pick up any of the empty stone vials back in the centipede room? Or did you just grab the full ones? If you have empty ones, we should put some of this water in them."
Tatsuo walks through the door carrying the glowing ball of light. He waits until everybody passes through before continuing onwards.
Yaro watches Tatsuo return as he leans against the doorjam where the orb once rested, the light from the orb fusing with the light from stone orbiting his head. "Is good! We go forward now."
Mickey follows through the door with Premi a step behind.
Mickey follows through the door with Premi a step behind.
Tatsuo takes some of the stone vials and puts purified water from the fountain in them.
the stone vials hold the water and allows it to retain its magic, each vial is now a potion of CLW.
the stone door remains open as long as it is in the radius of the daylight given off by the orb. the door takes 2 full rounds to open or close.
this section of the vault smells damp and moldy. also there is a tinge of death in the air as well.
the corridor beyond the stone door goes straight for a bit then there is a turn off to the right about 20 feet down, also continues straight for the distance of most people's darkvision.
those with darkvision think they can make out a turn to the left at the far end range of their sight.
in the wall next to the door there is a niche identical to the one you removed the orb from on the first side of the door.
Tatsuo briefly considers the niche before placing the orb in it. If nothing seems to happen, he takes it back out.
He then goes up to the intersection and looks down the hallway to the right. If he sees a door, he goes next to it and listens for anything on the other side.
The orb fits perfectly in the either niche.
once physical contact is removed the orb's light diminishes to a dim glow and the door will begin to shut.
this little experiment proves that the orb must be held to get the daylight effect and only that daylight effect will open the stone door. also the door must be inside the radius of the daylight spell.
the corridor to the right has a turn off about 10 to 15 feet down with a descending staircase.
Beyond the that turn-off, about another 15 to 20 feet straight ahead, a pile of fallen stone blocks the corridor beyond. A rough tunnel leads through the southern wall. The tunnel opening is jagged, and small stones cover the floor.
Mickey casts detect poison. Because why not.
If nothing is poisonous he'll poke the rocks with his stick.
Mickey Percep
Premi aid another
Tatsuo glances down the stairs before studying the tunnel. "I don't like the look of that. Any ideas what might have caused it?" he murmurs to the others. He crouches down, trying to look as far along the tunnel as he can while still remaining 5ft away from it.
"Is maybe age? Tomb is falling inward. But I yam feeling is much worse. Beasties dig into tunnels. We should being careful. All be ready for digging beasties."
Yaro draws Flamesinger again, and makes himself ready.
down the rough hewn tunnel you both can barely make out distant noises, it sounds like a slow gurgling and an occasional deep-throated mumble
you both also can make out humanoid footprints left in the dust and stones but they are far too old for tracking to any specific location.
also the caved in portion will probably take nearly three days of dedicated mining to clear out. which you do not have the tools nor the mining expertise to do.
"Out of magic today. Maybe tomorrow. "
He checks the area. If there is another way to go, he checks it out.
"I'm going to see if the tunnel comes out in that room down the stairs we passed."
Tatsuo moves down the stairs, still carrying the glowing globe, and looks around.
the stairway descends about 10 feet or so with a corridor directly to your left that dead ends in about 20 feet. you can tell also that the hallway continues straight for a short distance then opens up to a room.
From the bottom of the stairs you cannot tell how big the room is.
however the smells of Lichen and fungus fills the air at the bottom of the steps. it seems to be stronger toward the room.
Mickey casts detect poison(for the first time it might actually be important).
Tatsuo looks slightly puzzled at the dead end. "Why would there be a random hallway that leads nowhere?" he murmurs, mostly to himself. He moves closer to it to make sure that there isn't something else there.
When he returns from checking the dead-end, he then moves to the entrance of the plant-smelling room to take a look inside.
you are not detecting any poison from where you are.
Yaro is wearing the ring. He follows Tatsuo and casts detect magic and does a careful sweep of the debris.
As you make your way cautiously toward the source of the smell, you find a room. A small pool of stagnant murky brown water fills the northeast corner. It appears that this room was once a wine cellar, wine racks line the southern and eastern wall, but of the few bottles left, most are broken.
you are getting a detection of poison from the water but you cannot pinpoint the actual source
you get a +2 bonus to the perception check below.
you can make out shapes of giant frogs hiding in the water at least 3 of them
Premi Aid Another
Mickey Perception
Tatsuo moves a little further into the room behind Sora and casts Detect Magic.
there are no radiations of magic nor evil in the room.
Only Mickey has a sense of poison coming from the stagnant water. either the water itself or something in the water.
The tunnel seems to have been made by a large burrowing type creature.
The tunnel seems to have been made by a creature known as an Undrathar, some sort of weaker variant of an Umber Hulk.
Mickey shrugs.
"Got put here maybe."
He looks at the water.
"Poison. More than just old."
Jaroslav moves to where he can see the room as a whole.
the poison you are detecting is of an animal origin
1d20+3-1
Tatsuo warily eyes the water in the corner and then follows Letha, making sure to hold up the glowing globe so that she has plenty of light to see by.
Only mickey got the check due to detect poison
Letha peers into the water. out of the corner of her eye there is a sudden ripple as if something suddenly sunk into the water.
but before she could react. the head of a giant frog leaps from the water attempting to bite Letha.
However Letha's quick response is able to back up just in time.
the whole party wins init over the frogs.
frogs visible are on the map.
Mickey - the frog is the obvious source of the poison. (frogs are not Flat footed since they were waiting in ambush)
AC 15, touch 11, flat-footed 13 (+3 natural armor, +1 size)
CMB –1; CMD 7 (11 vs. trip)
Fort +4, Ref +2, Will –1
Jaro nods. "I am knowing beasties are there. Now beasties will burn." a lance of fire stabs out to the frog trying to know on Letha.
