Thank you! This was a good time, and if you had not said it was your first adventure. I’d never have guessed.

On the way out, Vincenzo will cast enlarge person on himself. He will fit as many scrolls into his haversack as possible, and then carry whatever else he can out of this place. It can get re-sorted once at a safe distance.

Vincenzo knows more than a few languages, so he peers over Sukit’s shoulder. Perhaps he can be helpful.

”You’ve been a statue for a long time, friend. Perhaps you should sit down for a minute.”
Vincenzo tries to hold still, hands empty, to show he doesn’t want to fight.

Vincenzo looks carefully at the statue. 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

This is why I hate talking to people... muses the alchemist. He enters the room and heads southwest, trying to stay out of the cloud as much as possible.
He’s interested in this sneering man, wondering if he’d been petrified long ago...

I’m not sure you can assist on Knowledge checks.

Talk to it Tess. You speak the language, and tieflings are not well-liked.
Vincenzo stayed where he was, he didn’t want to spook this creature.

Vincenzo nods, and opens the double doors. He does not enter the room immediately, but observes from where he is first.

Vincenzo enters, also speaking Terran.
”Shaitan, what lies beyond the double doors in the next room?”
Active conditions: False Life, Resist cold, electricity, & fire 5 Tiefling Alchemist (grenadier) 10 AC:23 T:14 F:20 CMD: 23 F: +11 R: +12 W: 6 (+2 v. Fear, +1 v. Writing) HP: 83 (+ false life) Perception: +19 Init:+3
Knowledge (arcana) 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Vincenzo says nothing, hoping the shaitan will focus on the others. He does take a step closer to the device, and looks it over...

Vincenzo moves to the single door, and opens it, eager to find what can be found here.

”You might as well come out. Talk to us, perhaps we can help you.” calls the tiefling in a loud voice.
His crossbow is slung over his shoulder on a leather strap. He waits, hands empty and in clear view.

Vincenzo looks around this new room as well, wondering what could have shattered an entire fortress.

[B]”I’d prefer knowing we’re safe first, then sitting down to read. What do the rest of you think? It’s a good find, though, I’m sure the Captain will be pleased.”
Vincenzo moves up to the next door, and checks to see if it’s locked.
Active conditions: False Life, Resist cold, electricity, & fire 5 Tiefling Alchemist (grenadier) 10 AC:23 T:14 F:20 CMD: 23 F: +11 R: +12 W: 6 (+2 v. Fear, +1 v. Writing) HP: 83 (+ false life) Perception: +19 Init:+3
Vincenzo will head into the next room.

Vincenzo steps into this new room. Curious, he examines the wreckage to see if he can tell what this once was.

”Such are the battles of the trap-finder, my friend.”
Vincenzo activates the top button on the right-most platform. A moment later, the platform begins to move, until it is adjacent to the gap in the wall to the south.
Active conditions: False Life, Resist cold, electricity, & fire 5 Tiefling Alchemist (grenadier) 10 AC:23 T:14 F:20 CMD: 23 F: +11 R: +12 W: 6 (+2 v. Fear, +1 v. Writing) HP: 83 (+ false life) Perception: +19 Init:+3
”Did this once work differently? Or did the platforms always cast down the unwanted? I feel we should try the buttons on this third platform as well, but I caution you all to get ready before I do.
He waits for the others to indicate their preparations are made, including Tess’s return.
Active conditions: False Life, Resist cold, electricity, & fire 5 Tiefling Alchemist (grenadier) 10 AC:23 T:14 F:20 CMD: 23 F: +11 R: +12 W: 6 (+2 v. Fear, +1 v. Writing) HP: 83 (+ false life) Perception: +19 Init:+3
Vincenzo will fly to the center platform, and then activate the top button.

He is shaken about, but keeps his footing. He then moves to the rightmost broken platform.

”The left platform returns us here, but the other button merely shakes the platform. Perhaps age has taken its toll. I can check the others if you wait a bit.
Vincenzo presses the center button, followed by the teleport button.
Active conditions: False Life, Resist cold, electricity, & fire 5 Tiefling Alchemist (grenadier) 10 AC:23 T:14 F:20 CMD: 23 F: +11 R: +12 W: 6 (+2 v. Fear, +1 v. Writing) HP: 83 (+ false life) Perception: +19 Init:+3
Vincenzo will press the second button on the left platform.
If I take 10 on the INT checks, I hit 15.
Aaand, he just...vanishes.

Vincenzo drinks his dexterity mutagen, which has the side effect of making his teeth and claws grow and become more dangerous looking. He then drinks an infusion of fly, which causes tiny red wings to sprout from his shoulder blades. He waits for Sukit to be healed, and then begins investigating the controls, starting on the left side of the room.

Can we all fly? Do we want todo another puzzle, or just fly to the next room?

“So, should we bother trying to control the platforms, or should we just fly over...there” asks Vincenzo.
Vincenzo will accept 4 charges, gladly
Active conditions: False Life, Resist cold, electricity, & fire 5 Tiefling Alchemist (grenadier) 10 AC:23 T:14 F:20 CMD: 23 F: +11 R: +12 W: 6 (+2 v. Fear, +1 v. Writing) HP: 83 (+ false life) Perception: +19 Init:+3
Ha! 110 points of fire damage should at least leave a dent. I don’t care if he -is- incorporeal, he’s still got terrible wizard hit points.

Vincenzo shouts out ”Xen!”. He begins to move in that direction, until he sees her float back up crossbow in hand. It’s a rare pleasure to work with competent people.
Vincenzo sends a series of bombs toward green. ”If poison won’t work, well, there’s always fire...Better you than me, creature.”

Thanks for checking, that seems fair.
I was afraid they were incorporeal. I’m still a level away from force bombs ; (

And it seems that all three creatures have damage reduction of some kind. Are any of them incorporeal?

yes, it is the stink bomb discovery, which is technically also a poison effect.
So, the creature appears immune to poison, yes?

Vincenzo is holding a crossbow, so as much as he would like to attack red, it will have to wait. Instead, he takes a 5ft step away from red, assuming that Sukit will likely engage in melee again.
He decides instead to target green, throwing a poison bomb at the creature.

Arcana check 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Vincenzo frowns, wondering what terrible powers these creatures have. He lifts his enchanted crossbow, and fires a few shots at the closest undead creature.

”Ah, experimentation. Lovely. Well, I’m sure the survivors will learn a great deal.
Vincenzo presses the now-glowing rune, and awaits his fate.

So, my intent is for Vincenzo to be trying the controls. Are the controls and the blue area the same place?

Vincenzo pokes the window a few times, surprised at the manner of construction.
He then returns to the first room, and attempts to press the buttons one more time.

Is there an additional exit? Or not yet?
Are the windows mere holes in the wall, or do they have glass panes?

Vincenzo rearranges the tiles now that they are all glowing.

Vincenzo blows gently on the stone, wondering if perhaps Sukit was correct. If so, he just wasted a flask of bottled lightning.
