It's the way the dice falls. I'd happily rejoin as another character though, this has been fun.
Wan falls to the ground wounded.
fire damage A burst of flame launches at the scarab after it bites Wan attempting to burn the creature. Wan'di stretches his hand over his staff turning it dark, and then steps away with a few quick steps to provide some distance and head deeper into the maze.
Wan'di casts dancing lights and forms a chain of purple lights along into the darkness.
I have like 1500 hours with my group on roll20.
Wan begins to shuffle along the lines faster, I new that weirdo was crazy but hot damn is this room getting to hot for me.
Wan'di shouts as he moves, I don't know if anyone can hear me, but this thing is showing me what I fear! Be careful, I assume things get much worse leaving the line!
Wan'di keeps moving careful to stay on the line, Well I guess it couldn't be easy...
Hey, Gibba. You stay away from those chess pieces. They're going to make you sick again. We can bust open that box later, let's get past the next room first and then we can take a break. Wan carefully steps on the black line and makes sure to use it like a balance beam.
Hey, that box itself is magic Thratch. Let's get a little further and we can take a break to identify this stuff, Wan says, That thing has some extreme power to it and shouldn't be messed with without identifying it first. So here's the big question: That weird dark room, or that weird white room with the black line?
Entering the room, Wan greets Gibba, Hey, Gibba. Some folks'll be coming through here, but they are all made of flesh even if they cover themselves in metal. In the next room Wan'di waves his hand dismissively at the scene, Don't touch any of this s%+@ with a ten-foot pole. That snake-boy is named Gibba and claims to be the medusa's stone-eatin' son, and he is eating those chess pieces that are dangerous to touch - they will try to take control of your body. I suspect the pieces in the boy's stomach are trying to take control of him as well. Wan'di points to the doorways to the left and right, Over there is a door leading to darkness, and over there is a door to a room with a 6" wide path painted on the floor. If we are taking votes, the room on the right is at least more obvious.
Lys crawled off into one of those doors that pop up around her... I have not seen her since she went in. We will probably find her soon, Wan calls, We lost the Curator by forcing it to spring the mozaic trap in the room over yonder... I'm still not sure if it will hold it for long though. We should keep moving - there are two ways forward past the next room. Wan'di looks Riven up and down and says, Can't y'all go ten minutes without finding a stray cat to bring along? You don't see me dragging around the crazy snake-boy in the next room with me! He laughs as he turns and walks back to the room with Gibba.
Spoiler: Wan'di decides it has been a while and he should check on his juniors back in the rope bridge room.
Spoiler: Wan draws his hand away as if cut and sighs. He looks around one more time for exits, and if he doesn't find one turns around.
Spoiler:
Wan's Plan: I think I need to be eaten by Gibba.
Wan more time: Wan can't make heads or tails of the scroll, but seeing the pieces he gets a grim feeling they are connected - and that the ones in Gibba's stomach might have to come out at some point. Wan tries to move a chess piece in a move that at least is legal without any thought to strategy. If nothing happens he heads back into the other room.
Me: Wan pockets the scroll, and then begins the ritual to cast detect magic from his scrapbook of magical notes.
Wando: Wan'di watches the thing as it wiggles and jiggles and rants and raves, Hey guy, you know what? You the baddest dude around. My friends were the toughest guys I know, and if you ate them that makes you one bad dude. Wan waves his arm out over the chess pieces, If you are hungry go ahead and eat until you cannot eat anymore. I can't stop such a powerful being as you, and you mother must worry about how skinny you are.
If the creature begins to eat Wan will pocket the sword and scroll and watch.
Lore is a (primarily horror) author talking about the history and stories around folklore, it's about 30 minutes every other week and amazing.
My daughter almost exclusively listens to EDM out of her personal preference (thanks Pandora), but she learned Ring Around the Rosie and has been singing that herself a lot too. I mostly listen to podcasts these days when I get a chance, my favorites being Lore, the Adventure Zone, and the Flophouse.
me: Like, the medusa? The lady at the heart of this maze? Now that's an interesting fellow to meet. My name is Wan'di, and I got trapped in here - do you know which way to go to try and leave the maze?
Me: I may look like a fine piece of onyx, but believe you me I'm a sack of flesh and bone. Though the curator is made of stone out in the gardens, Wan says ready to retreat if needed, You got a name little dude?
Me: Wan checks what pieces are missing and tries to read the scroll.
Yolo Solo: Wan calls his spider to the top of his head and walks around the room looking around a bit without disturbing anything. He wants to map the room and figure out if there is a pattern to the pieces.
Runner: Wan'di finds himself alone in a dungeon next to a dead bird-man thing. He shrugs and begins walking over a bridge to the next open room.
Runner:
Wan'di breathes hard and leans on his quarterstaff as the bleeding of his hand stops, Whew! Hot damn that worked! Glad I took a peek over there when I had the chance! Let's check on the others... where's Lys?
He begins to move to the door to the sword room.
Wan dismisses his spider and runs across the room with his bleeding hand exposed like he's looking for a high five.
Gaaaah, that hurts dammit. OK, sheep, dance your heart away. Lys you better belt a tune - I'll follow, Wan says at the entrance to the room after cutting his hand.
Yeah, we're waiting on Lys. As an aside, what room is the crying group in?
Get to the mosaic trap, we'll cross and let the curator be the 4th body! Wan casts expeditious retreat and books it through the shadow room towards the mosaic room moving 90ft in a round.
Wan runs forward and casts shatter on the painting the Curator is looking for.
In a last attempt to draw attention, Wan waves the painting he found on the cannibal's corpse in the air and hollering trying to confuse the creature or draw it into the throne room to lock the door. He thinks, Didn't those cannibals come from the garden? Maybe this is also from the gallery...
Wan'di runs into the alcove with the thrones to avoid attention.
That's my thought. Better hurry before that curator thing ambles up.
As someone who is normally a DM these days the only thing I can say is: take notes, dammit.
Well it does seem a waste to leave this room empty-handed, and the lady of the mosaic claims only three can cross unharmed. I guess these are not your typical swordsman, Wan'di says looking over to the other room, Tell you what; Ashlyn, A Lys, and myself can scurry along the long route to get to that rope room and bock the door. You bird guys can split up how you want and take that painting with you while our group and whoever of you will join us waits by these bridges. It should only take a matter of minutes to go the long way, but after an hour I recommend movin' on without us. Wan'di turns to Ashlyn and A Lys, That seem fair? You seem to be interested in that room and I'm pretty good at getting out of a tight spot and could use a brisk jog after getting some breakfast.
Let me know if something is unclear.
OK, guys. Look like you are still confusing the map. Let me make a basic map:
The only thing I don't know is how Aterro and Ashlyn went from the entrance to the stairs without passing the center chamber.
Moving the extended OC talk here. Just trying to organize 1) We have had a long rest, unless your character is deliberately hiding information we talked about what you saw off screen. If you have something to hide now is the time to mention it. The bridge area has multiple exits, not just the room we are in and the mosaic room I saw. The mosaic room I saw has limitations of saying it will kill the 4th person crossing it, while the first three need to sing or dance or bleed. That's why I'm saying keep the size small. 2) It sounds like it doesn't particularly matter because no one wants the swords. That means I can send an Unseen Servant to lock the door if we so choose. I would prefer not to, it takes 10 monutes
