Let's see what's to the West. Felix says, making sure his musket is loaded.
Mickey follows along passively.
Tatsuo continues to act as human torch-bearer with his glowing daylight sphere with Sora protectively walking before him.
Mickey stays close to the lizardman.
He may not be able to speak with him, but he understands what it's like to see everything you love killed in front of you.
He places a hand on his shoulder, trying to offer some comfort.
Heading West into the unexplored area, the hallway opens up into a good-sized chamber, which appears to be empty. The Northern wall, rather than being built of stone, is actually an immense stained glass window. A small room is dimly visible behind the multi-colored glass.
The glass itself is rather thick and difficult to see through with any clarity.
You think you can make out a statue on the other side.
you detect no magic nor evil in the room.
you think you see a small passageway leading out of the room on the other side of the glass (see the map thiat is the small corridor that goes back to the main hallway you entered this room from.)
"Break it or find a way around? Thing there might be important."
He gestures with his walking stick at the window.

"I kinda want to avoid breaking things, espically works of art and such, I have no idea what this glass is worth" he pauses scratching his beard "I guess we should check the walls? Split up, me and Tatsuo will keep going a little ways rubbing up on the wals looking for a trigger, Mikey, you and Felix double back and do the same or whichever other arrangement you feel would be better"
Sounds good to me
Seems like this we can get on the other side of the glass if we follow that small passageway off the main corridor. Let's go.
Felix: You head down the small corridor that turns and opens into the room opposite the room you were just in, on the other side of the stained glass window. (this is room 26 on the map)
The room features a large dusty statue in an alcove in the northern wall. It appears that this room has been undisturbed for some time. the stained glass window encompasses the southern wall and you can make out the room you were just in before on the other side..
The statue is of a man kneeling, with his right handheld palm up in front of him. the other hand is over his brow as if he were searching the distance for something. He faces south apparently peering at the stained glass window.
an inscription along the base of the statue reads: "The light that can blind the eye can also illuminate the mind."
again link to a visual of the stained glass window. and yes this is what it actually looks like
Mickey follows Felix, who seems to know what he's doing.
A riddle... Light... And the statue is facing a stained glass window. Felix turns to the others. Hey could someone please go to the other side and hold a torch up to the eyes in the window? Maybe that will do something to this statute.
The light from the Halo seems to create an interesting effect.
in the statue room the stained glass window acts as a lens and the halo the light combining to be like a projector.
the image of the stand glass window takes on an almost 3-D effect.
however the image is not complete. as the halo light source is not sufficient. perhaps a brighter source of light may work.
Also it appears that the image projected is too large for the smaller statue room it would need a larger space to properly be projected.
so. in short you need a brighter light source and a larger room.
Whoah, I think we're almost there. Just need a brighter light source and to use it from the other side. Maybe on the palm of the statue
"Got the ball light."
He has climbed on top of the statue, seemingly more comfortable in high places.
One can figure things about Mickey out. Just takes a bit.
Felix heads out to join Connor in the larger room to see what the effect is there.
"Hmm, using the light from the other side; definitely a lot less work than my first plan, which involved moving the statue."
Tatsuo holds the daylight sphere up from the larger room, just to make sure it doesn't work. Then he moves to the smaller room and tries holding it up in there, calling to the people in the larger room.
"That help any? Do I need to move the light more on this side?"
the size of the upturned palm of the statue seems to be the exact same size as the daylight orb
while the orb is lit in the statue room the words of the inscription on the statue start to glow.
the light of the orb from the statue room is better but it seems even more light is needed.
However it seems that the door in the window projects against the far wall in the larger room to form a door there at the perfect location a door probably would be.
Maybe put the ball on the palm of the statue. We seem to be close.
Mickey jumps off the statue and goes to the other room. He taps the wall where the door is and the wall next to it with his staff, his ear pressed against.
People may realize that he tends to work on instinct, not bothering to explain his actions.
mickey, perception check please the dc is pretty high but you can make it
as far as you can tell the wall is just that... solid stone wall.
Tatsuo places the sphere on the palm of the statue. "That any better?"
Mickey pulls a smirk.
He turns to see what the ball would reveal.
Reeves chatters on his shoulder and tries to grab some of the lights.
Once the sphere is placed on the palm of the statue, the entire statue starts to glow a brilliant light. the resulting light creates the image of the stained glass window into the 3-D image in the large room.
Mickey: the wall you were looking at where the image of the door is, the image suddenly becomes more vibrant, and suddenly before your eyes the image of the door morphs into an actual door.
Wow, that really is better, come join us Tatsuo. Mickey is that a real door? Felix casts Detect Magic to try to see if he can get any insight on what's going on.
Mickey taps the door again before seeing if he can open it.
It is now a wooden door.
He looks around as if to ask "everyone ready?"
People may notice that he has a tendency to occasionally sniff the air, either as an expression of considering something, or actually sniffing for something in the air.
Felix makes sure his musket is loaded and stands 20 feet straight north of the door. Ready
If everyone is ready Mickey pushes the door open with his staff.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
The door opens to a small 5' wide, 10' long hallway that opens to a small room.
those with darkvision can make out a table in the room and nothing else.
let me know if anyone enters the hallway first.
Mickey stays where he is upon seeing into the room.
"S'just a table..."
Huh, still interesting even if there's nothing else. Keep the door open would you Mickey? And please don't remove the ball while I'm in there
Felix moves in and spends a little time searching around. If nobody with a light follows him in he'll light a torch before doing the searching.
"Call'f ya find somethin."
Mickey sits down against the opposite wall.
Reeves hops onto his bent knee and gently pads on Mickey's face, causing him to smile and scratch the tiny primate under his chin.
Felix enters the hallway and goes to the table as he passes through the door there is a sudden pulse of force (like an invisible energy barrier was just penetrated) you receive no physical or mental damage of any kind....
looking back at the door (what you see will be dependent on what the others are doing) but from your view the door is still open and you can see the room you came from.
Ahead of you on the table lies a singe ring like a gold wedding band. no inscriptions no stones just plain gold.
(yes it radiates magic)
As Felix goes into the hallway, there is a sudden flash of light as though he has passed through a magical portal. and now the doorway is solid wall once more with the image of a door projected upon it.
This place is something else Felix comments to the others in a normal conversational voice There's definitely some sort of force protecting this place and there's a ring here that we couldn't see from outside. Man I wish I knew more about magical items
Despite anyone entering with you, as you comment you notice you are in fact alone
the Ring is a "Ring of Sustenance"
