Yeah, I can tell it was built on feedback back and forth for a tournament setting.

It must do something, that is too purposeful, Simo says, Feel around he floor, maybe the fourth hand was meant to give something.
We can always circle back for the gems if we hit a wall again, I'm sure we will be spelunking into these depths for a few days.
Simo sighs and says, Now I only have the one. He pulls the window from his robe and places it on the secret door, revealing an opening through the wall, There, now we can at least continue our progress.
We need to send Kraven to look at that gargoyle statue and dead ends it seems.
Now that I do feel sorry for, I was very much attached to sparkle. Had he died in a typical fashion he would simply have returned to the plane he came from, Simo says with a sigh, Still - I much prefer unmaking a familiar than myself.
It's just a conjuration, it's not even a real beast just has the appearance of one.
I found a hole down this way, is there any good quick method to scout it out? I can bond with a new familiar if needed.
You tell me, what's the point of magic eyes if you can't tell if anything you see is magical or not? All I know is that I don't trust that fog, so there must be some trick again. Simo pokes around the wall.
Yeah, paladins hit like trucks. An extra 2d8 compared to a Sun Sword or something similar is pretty brutal - especially with their Improved Divine Smite. Right now, at level 12, a 6th level magic missile deals between 56 and 80 force damage for me as a wizard. They're absolutely something you need to build encounters with them in mind and have enemies approach intelligently or die from.
I don't see how you can expend one spell slot to get both a smite and activate that ability. Costing two spell slots is a pretty heavy expense.
Simo yawns and calls out, What is the hold up? Is everything OK in there?
That UA for warlocks is one of the best things published for 5e right now. I hope the entire thing makes it to print.
I'm here. I don't have something to add at the moment while these rooms are swatted. I'm trying to be conservative with my spells for future dangers still.
Simo opens a door headed the other way yawning, This is pretty boring for such a legendary figure.
This will help with all those secret doors, traps, and magical barriers, Simo says waiting for a door to open, Saves me having to recast see invisibility.
Simo pokes around the room while his see invisibility lasts, moving slow and steady and turning each stone and tracing masonry in the walls with his fingers. He also investigates the urn the gargoyle was near.
Very well, come here Kraven! Close your eyes, this stuff will blind you if you don't hold them tight, Simo applies a pungent savory-smelling salve onto Kraven's closed eyes, This paste will hold them shut and open your deepest mind to the weave, boy. Simo steps back and waves his hands in front of the kneeling Kraven, there is a visible aura around the two of them as Simo chants the words of power. When he is done he taps Kraven's forehead. When Kraven stands his eyes are covered in a pale dried glue while in the center of his forehead glows a magical censor. Simo is breathing a little hard when he says, There, with this you can see anything that lays before us in its true form.
Simo snorts inside the room, More secret doors. I want to open someone's third eye - someone that is the point of the spear. But first I want to make absolutely sure no one wants to rest first, because I'm not wasting powerful magic without getting the full hour's worth!
Simo sees the collar twinkle in the limited light, Oh! Never mind there's the collar. Yes, throw that think into the green face it will unmake the frog and it cannot revert to its true form.
Wait!, Simo says, The spell is undone by death, but the creature lives. This is why you don't take shortcuts in your magical training. It also had a necklace that could be important to this room, we must make a decision how to act but if we destroy it - by say throwing it into the green face's mouth - we lose the items it carried as well.
I consider this a good sign! Simo laughs a little as he cals out a song of ice and grips his fist an an awkward way causing a layer of frost to form on the creature.
Simo casts prestidigitation to make it smell like farts around Morgan.
Works for me, then we will keep moving and let you know what we find, Simo moves his arm away from him to shout at Morgan, How's it going? Find that opening yet?
We won't leave you behind if we keep your pal, will we?
Simo studies the device for a time while the door is being cleared, This is a simple three-part code. I don't think anything has mention green yellow and blue so far. Damn, if I hadn't sent sparkle to his doom I could have figured this out! Curse my haste! Sen, come back - your location is probably more dangerous than the door in the wall. When can come back to this door later if we get stuck.
Simo says, No one go near the face. Sparkle wasn't simply killed, but unmade in some fashion. I don't think there is anything that can survive such magic, and continues his ritual.
Fortunately, we don't have to mess with anything. Sparkle, crawl into that face opening, Simo says feeding him a little treat first, Sorry for risking your neck, but we both know the deal. Sparkle crawls down his back and down the hall into the darkness inside the face. That should take care of that. One of you bruisers start smashing holes in all this plaster, there has to be something more here. It's not like we care about preserving this... art. Simo sits, I'm going to investigate these glowing stones, maybe the nature of the enchantment will give a clue. Simo takes 10 minutes to perform identify as a ritual.
Wreckless! Simo grumps. Turn to the others, Anything comes from investigating the face?
Simo winks Sparkle out of the plane and has him appear on his head, It's just a familiar. This is why people say dwarves are no fun.
Well.... he's f@*~ed. Don't touch the door. Simo says, It teleports you nearby to an enclosed room with three levers of some kind. I doubt he can operate them at all. Should I bother trying or just bring him back here?
Well, then, Simo exclaims angrily, You're the last hope, Sparkle! He holds the pot and paces Sparkle inside. He hangs the pot from a 10-foot pole and says, OK, now you extend that pole into the fog and I will try and see the other side. And Simo will concentrate on sharing Sparkles senses as the pot is extended through the mist.
Well that didn't work, Simo hurrumpfs, I was hoping I could make a small window, but I will have to use less refined methods. Simo sets the pot down and gestures while speaking the words of unmaking, casting dispell magic on the device.
Time for some expirementation! Simo yips with a bit too much glee. Holding the edge of the pot he inserts it into the mist to try and create a small hole around the metal. He is careful not to touch the mist. Sparkle is on his forearm ready for action if it works.
It's a door... a sophisticated one. It uses these stones, Simo says pointing, to allow those with the knowledge to bypass it. I suggest this may be the best path forward over whatever trap nonsense is going on with that face. Simo stares into the mist for a time, But how deep is it? Simo pulls the iron pot many a crappy stew has been burned in and thrusts it out, Can someone take the flat end off this to make a big tube? I doubt you'll miss my night to cook.
Simo follows a safe route and inspects the doorway full of mist.
He then starts patting his robes a pit looking for something.
I'm in favor of what Morgan did, say what his intent is, and let Critic handle the rolling. If we wait for someone to post about every 5" we'll be in 2050 before we leave his hall. This.
I am entertained by this: http://dnd.wizards.com/products/tabletop-games/rpg-products/tales-yawning-p ortal Notice the adventures listed in here.
Erik, Elrick? Wolf-guy! My familiar didn't set off anything ahead, but about 100 feet up there is an obvious trap face carving and a dangerous doorway filled with thick fog. Make sure to put some weight on those tiles before stepping use a staff, sword, or pole before each step! Let us know when we can approach, I'll send Sparkle to get the others. Sparkle winks out of existence and back on Simo's shoulder, Got that, gorgeous? Go get Master Deathsteel and Madam Wildwalker. Bring them here. Sparkle skitters off.
See? She's got a handle on it, Simo says before he blinks and his eyes change to orange with a black slit in the middle. He falls silent and is concentrating on the bond with his familiar and seeing through its eyes down the hall.
Simo's cheeks grow red and his brow furrows, Well maybe not everyone dressed in robes knows mage hand, did you ever think of that? Some people and their assumptions!
Simo snorts, It's fine, everything is fine. Sonya survived into womanhood, she can survive into spinsterhood without me changing her nappies.
Simo trots along with Sonya, his lizard splayed out on his bald head, Well had you mentioned a bright and vibrant corridor, then I imagine there would be no need to carve that stone! As she steps in he casts his spells and follows behind as she inspects the chest on the wall. He gently sets his lizard on the ground and lets it scurry forward deeper into the hall to scout ahead up to 100 feet away telling it softly, OK, sparkle. Today is your day. Go forth and let us know what you see, you beautiful bastard.
I'm still missing what revealed Illustration 3, because that seems like the best place to explore...
That was quite a shock! Simo exclaims near the opening to the tunnel, Do we have any other options?
