Nuala waits to see if the last one goes down before acting.
"I've got this one. Figure out the Caster!"
dead on the crit.
Nuala opens a dimension door back by the caster sending her team into melee with her.
As it is her turn, and she didn't get time to finish buffing, she steps back, casts dimension door as well, and disappears.
You can't see her in this room.
Anything else of note in the room?
Not really, though it's quite evident that they were trying some kind of ritual in here, with candles, braziers and whatnot. Nothing of value however.
Kendren frowns and says, "Well, we disrupted whatever ritual it was they were doing. There's that at least. Let's move on to the next room."
Nuala makes sure the kick the candles out before leaving the room..
Head to the other side of the dungeon.
A room number please.
We've looked at all of it besides the covered area right?
You have been in G7, G9, G10 only.
G8 before moving down into G11..
G8 sounds good to me!
G8:
Implements and tools for crafting and shaping weapons and armor lie strewn about the tables in this hexagon-shaped chamber.
Nuala channels once as well..
Anyone?
Nuala's healing takes care of Kendren's remaining wounds, and he looks through the room for any possibly completed weapons or anything else.
To G11 after wrapping up G8..
Swaths of pulsating red lichen illuminate this long, 30-foot-high, alcove-lined hall. The alcoves themselves display elaborate, colorful murals of demonic entities, each with inscriptions chiseled into the stone below them. At the far end of the hall stands a massive iron framework that displays a red banner.
Kendren looks over the walls, studies the murals, then activates his Iomedae-blessed sight to locate any evil entities within the hallway.
You are in the worldwound. The presence of background evil is blinding.
Well detect evil just isn't terribly useful in most of this AP. If you focus on a person in front of you, you can figure out if they are. However detecting in an environment around here just won't get you much. None demonic pictures are particularly endowed with evil, they just cover evil topics.
Nuala will detect magic and see if the Banner lights up, or anything else for that matter.
It is certainly magic.
"We may have found what we are looking for.."
Surprisingly, not quite that bright.
"If that's the Sword of Valor...we'll have to get it out of that iron framework. If there's a lock on it, does anyone know how to pick it?"
Nuala frowns and pulls out a scroll and uses it..
"Give me a second here.."
You feel a bit leery of it.
"I don't think we have the real deal here.. The level of magic coming off this thing isn't artifact level and that divination spell has me leery.. Could be a trap of some sort to look like the real deal."
Kendren didn't know a ton about magic, so he looked at Nuala and asked, "Could you analyze the magical aura and tell if it was an illusion or some kind of secretly cursed item?"
"Sure"
Go through the rounds detect magic..
It seems to be radiate abjuration/conjuration magic.
"Yep.. Not sure.. I think we should just leave it alone for now. It's not going anywhere."
Kendren shrugs. "Okay. Sounds like a good idea to me."
"Well I'm no trap expert, but something doesn't feel right about it.. It's your funeral I guess.."
"I say we move on.."
As you attempt to leave the room heading east, five Deskaris emerge from the murals, and attack you.
Kendren is immune to this however.
No effect.
DC 16 for each, if you pass the will, you can ignore the fort.
You can see them attack everyone, but you aren't capable of being scared of them, so you are immune to their effect.
You can make the will save if you choose as it will give you a chance to disbelieve them.
Kendren adopts a defensive stance as five Deskaris leap from the walls to attack them...but then realizes they aren't particularly substantial and must be some kind of demonic trick. He yells, "Foul demons, your tricks will not stop us! We are far greater than you!"
