Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Zokama walks forward with her weapon drawn to take a closer look at the orb.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

If she made her will save of course.

Zokama draws her bow as she lands, wondering if arrows will do any good against shadows.

Naghbakh.

Zokama casts Feather Fall.

(immediate action)

Zokama describes what she sees to the entire party.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Zokama, who had been ready to cast a spell to save them from falling, finds the sudden drop exhilarating, and rides it out with style, surprised that they pulled it out and she didn't have to cast her spell.

Your call GM. Real life trumps the game. If you don't have the energy to continue, I am okay with you shutting it down, but also happy to wait if you prefer to keep going. :)

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

If we start falling, Zokama will cast Feather Fall, which can affect up to 5 people... if Fil is still with us (I don't remember the last time he was mentioned), I think that unfortunately means leaving the Eidolon out. If Fil is not with us, then I can get everyone.

Zokama seems to change her mind. She uses her Sleeves of Many Garments to change her clothing into a nice winter outfit with gloves to give herself at least the illusion of warmth, and then starts running across to the other platform, intent on descending.

We have no way of knowing how important it is, since we don't know what is down there, but if you feel it is too dangerous, I'm okay with returning. What say the rest of you?

I guess that is what we need to find out. What is down there. If your companion can tell us what lies below, we could make a better decision.

Whoo-hoo. Always nice to have time-traveling friends. I guess the sun comes up tomorrow okay then (6:55 pm on the 3rd here). :)

Okay, well they just pulled me back when I tried to leave, so I guess I'll forego the new check.

Zokama has an Ioun torch (magical light source). Does my perception roll above count for this check?

Happy Independence Day to you as well. :)

If we have the stuff that Navith had...

Zokama finds the black robes with endure elements cast on them and tosses them down to Braggi, hoping falling on that cold surface won't harm him.

When they "land," she steps off the platform, casting prestidigitation to dry herself off, and everyone else, and then examines the purple veins in the floor/column that seem to be moving.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 (+2 if there is a trap involved)

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Zokama is able to maintain her balance despite the deluge, and she takes a look around to see what they are getting themselves into.

Zokama steps on to the platform, running the words to her Feather Fall spell over and over in her mind, just in case.

Um... we're going down that shaft?

Zokama shudders, not so much at what they will find at the end, but at having to get wet. At least she has prestidigitation to dry herself off at the end, but it could make the rope slippery... and were they sure they could get back up?

Are you sure you know how to use that thing?

Knowledge Engineering: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Zokama agrees, and also takes a look at the corpse, with detect magic up just in case.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

Hmm... don't have any other ideas... you guys want to bring it with us, or leave it behind?

Zokama sees if she can pick it up, and if it has secret compartments like the bigger one.

Warily, Zokama casts detect magic, and examines the pillar.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Yep, sounds good.

Zokama tries to calm down and stop obsessively cleaning herself with Prestidigitation, makes sure everyone else is clean of the filth, and then proceeds with the group to the next battle.

No takers, eh? How about the less dangerous ones first?

Cool, whatever. Let's just go fight the regular bad guys. We obviously can't solve the bigger problems. Someone pick which ones to go after first.

Zokama casts prestidigitation about a zillion times trying to clean herself off, and wishes she had a nice fireball spell to burn the whole room to ash.

Just trying to think of ways to clear the room... would a rat swarm help since there is plenty of refuse to eat, or would the rats instantly come after us? Have spark and acid splash, but no fire spells. There is a scroll of burning hands on our loot list... could I use it even though it isn't on the Bard spell list? I also have summon minor monster if there are any carrion eaters of the correct size to fit that spell. ... Or is the room just supposed to be a hazard, and we should leave?

Realizing something malevolent is here, she hopes that another of her friends won't be drawn into it as well, and tries to drag the dwarf back through the opening of the room.

Not sure what to roll to try to pull him back. Plain strength check, or would it be a combat maneuver or something?

Strength Check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Zokama, horrified, reaches out and pulls Musami's head out of the filth. What are you doing? Are you insane? she says, trying to snap him out of whatever suicidal urge has overtaken him.

Turn around, go back. Time to find the others, now!

If he moves out of the room, she follows immediately.

If not, she tries cleaning his face with prestidigitation to see if that helps... maybe he is overwhelmed with the muck. Then she tries slapping him. Then, she'll try singing to calm him down mostly just story stuff here, but she can try distraction and fascinate bardic performances if she thinks that will help.

She'll keep his face up and cleaned with prestidigitation so he can breathe if possible, but if he starts harming her or pulling her into the muck rather than just trying to harm himself and bury himself alive, and she fears for her life, she will retreat and go find the others... but she is very reluctant to do that, since she doesn't want him to die.

Arriving in the 8-foot area, Zokama realizes that it isn't big enough to accomodate the group, and she needs to go forward, even though she really wants to go back.

Zokama takes a breath to clear her head, gathering up the coins she had noticed while she tries to shake off the paranoia and claustrophobic feelings, and then she decides she might as well face the hard thing first, and moves to the crawl space.

Okay, let me heal up first. She pulls out a healing wand. Anyone else need a heal?

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

She heals everyone that needs it, and then starts scouting the cavelike corridors, seeing where they lead.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Well, you know... she tries her best. :)

For heals, feel free to roll your own as though I were using the wand on you. Just let me know how many charges to take off.

You guys, I think the there are passages back here.

Zokama examines the nooks and crannies in the far wall to see if any of them prove to be exits.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

That roll is unlikely to find anything unless it is obvious, but if she does find something, she tells the party about the additional option(s).

Zokama looks around for exits. Okay, where to next? Can't say I will be sad to leave this chamber.

Zokama looks a little shocked for a second, and then says

Err, that was a close call...

Zokama is passed out, so she doesn't answer Musami.

But out of character, I say go for it. I doubt it is that easy, but you never know. Just don't hurt the cube on top of it if you can help it... that is what helped me (I think) before. I suspect it is good. Also, expect possible magical consequences.

Perhaps. It could be a puzzle, but is it a puzzle we want to solve or not? It seems that there is some boy to save, but is solving the puzzle a step towards saving him, or freeing the evil? I truly wish we had a religious type to ask.

Zokama rummages in the pack, looking at the indentations and comparing them to what they are carrying, pulling out anything that looks even close. She then casts detect evil, looking at the orb and some of the other things they've collected that look like they might fit in the indentations. The altar is included within the cone she casts, but she looks at it dead last, going so far as to aim her eyes well above it and sweeping down so that she can see the 1 foot box *before* she sees the altar, just in case the aura is strong enough to stun her Which it says can happen in the spell.

Not sure if you mean a check to identify the aura (Knowledge Arcana), or to check it for magical properties (Spellcraft), so rolling both.

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 11 + 2 = 14
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 2 = 17

She has no idea what it is or what it does, but she knows it is magic, so she picks it up to take with them.

Then, since her Detect Magic is still up, she asks someone to bring over the one foot block of stone, so she doesn't have to look at the altar again. If someone is willing to do so, she examines that as well.

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 11 + 2 = 29
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 2 = 24

Oh, so it all goes away with being healed once, right? Sorry for misunderstanding. I'll only take off one charge then.

Zokama is a little worried about using magic in here, but she casts detect magic again, making sure to look only at the orb she just found and not at the altar or column, one of which seemed to have triggered her recent attack.

If it sends me back to evil queen land, I know I deserve it... but I can't stand to play being afraid of what will happen. I'm going to be curious and try to figure things out, and if it gets me killed, oh well. I accept the consequences.

Zokama shakes herself and reassures everyone that she is okay... well, in need of healing, but not dead.

Just realized I am really low on HP from that damage we took earlier in the moldquake. Good thing I didn't scratch hitpoints off when I was scratching and biting myself.

Zokama pulls out one of their healing wands (This one is CLW with 24 charges left) and heals herself, then casts prestidigitation to clean off the dirt as well.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Anyone else need some healing?

In looking at the block on the altar Zokama wonders if it is a puzzle of some sort where they have to find the items that fit in the depressions. But if it is, is solving it good or bad?

She searches the area carefully (without using magic this time), wondering if there is a secret panel or other hidden clue.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

As Zakoma comes out of her vision, she says

What... what boy?

She describes the dream/vision in detail to her party. (You can read my spoilers.)

Is it a trick, or is there someone we need to help?

Did I take damage from that episode?

Zokama keeps her eyes open as they travel, her Ioun torch illuminating the area around her.

Zokama was in the back. Also, can I examine the stone eyes as we pass them?

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

When we get there, Zokama moves forward to examine the violet color... is it similar to the violet gems that she is carrying, or different?

Boy do I wish we had some nice clericy protection from evil right now. Or, you know, a "create holy water" spell.

Zokama smiles, wondering if such a spell is even possible.

You know how you hear about people defiling the altars of good deities? Any way to do that to an evil one? Maybe ruin the carvings or uh... say something nice? I have no idea.

This couldn't be where they trapped that evil queen, could it? I wonder if I concentrate if I can tell what is going on here.

She casts detect magic and concentrates, trying to figure out the nature of this place or anything they could do to make it less evil.

Um... knowledge arcana? I'll try that, but if it is something else, just let me know.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Zokama says

Hey, if you know it is safe, you've got my vote.

She follows the group, although she does keep her own eyes open as well.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18 (+2 more for traps)

So, we're trapped between fighting evil and releasing extra evil, and we don't know where the border is? This is not really good position to be in. Guess we'd better be super careful. Although, not sure what to avoid. Hopefully we'll realize if we are about to unleash something evil on the world.
