It Came from Hollow Mountain

Game Master DEREK LANE 127

Ayita thinks about it, and talks to Ter about the dream and tries to work in what Ter has seen from above.

She asks Ter to help the others think about it as well. I'm rolling multiple survivals for Ter to assist each part member, as she could answer questions if asked. GM Derek if that's too much, pls everyone ignore this.

As she talks to Ter, she notices a... chicken feather??... stuck to the falcon's head.

Ayita survival: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Ter survival to assist Ayita: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Ter survival to assist Ez: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Ter survival to assist Frant: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Ter survival to assist Nasir: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Ter survival to assist Doc: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Oddly, Yazhi also seems to have a few chicken feathers in her fur. Neither animal seems at all hungry. Ayita frowns.

Ter, those chickens are not for your dinner, did you ask first?
Ter keeps preening her feathers.

"Mmmm... Chicken... *drool...*"

FINDING THE ENTRANCE!
All of you realize, based on experience traveling in the woodlands, that the vines and other types of foliage in your Sorshen dream only grow on one side of the island, in a small valley. From where you stand, you can see the differences in foliage.

Frantino also recalls from his studies (Know(history)) that in Thassilonian times, the prevailing architectural styles would place buildings facing one way, but the catacombs beneath a structure would extend away from it's rear. If that's the case, there would be a limited number of places...

Combining these facts, it seems pretty clear that the Forlorn Sepulchers' entrance would be... over there. -->

Ter is unable to find it from the air, but with a bit of bushwacking, the heroes arrive at the exact spot from their dream.

Sword and shield out to do the bushwacking, Nasir leads the way with Ayita in tow.

"Keep your eyes peeled, Ayita. Let us try not to get ambushed on zis journey."

Ayita is watching around, with help from Ter and Yazhi.

perception: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 17 + 2 + 3 = 35

[dice=perception]1d20+17+2+3

The trio of Ayita and her companions scout ahead, avoiding pitfalls along the way. Ter, in particular, saves the day by spotting a trio of hell mosquitos nesting in a nearby clearing. Ayita is able to steer the group away from them and avoid them all together.

Yazhi scents a troupe of what Ayita thinks might have been gorillas (?). Her hunter's skills suggest to her that they are... more (?) than just gorillas.

Eventually, everybody finds themselves at the entrance to the Forlorn Sepulchers. An overgrown archway depicting two weeping dragons confronts them, beckoning.

Ezranadir casts Detect Magic and looks at the archway, then statues and finally the surrounding area. He keeps the spell up and awaits someone to check for traps.

Nasir moves up to the archway and examines it. Is there a tunnel beyond or is it another portal? Does the archway seem to change has he gets closer? Does he remember anything from his dream that feels familiar?
