Is the lever on this side or the other?


I keep dissolving the door, really putting my back... Uhhh... Rear facet into it. Oozes do not breathe, and they do not burn well, but I do take the damage from that trap. And slobber through the door.

You don't really piss fire, although after a night with the wenches at the Marshwater Inn it can feel that way.

Sovereign Court

Schism: The lever is on this side of the portcullis.

AMH: Sage advice indeed


Check For Traps: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

*Pulls lever if not trapped.*


"Is that the flood lever or the drain lever?"


*EEP*

Sovereign Court

The lever raises the portcullis which leads to a hallway descending 65' deep. At the bottom of the hall is a circular shaft of stone that looks to go deeper into the earth


Is it all flooded?


he said circular shaft of stone......


That's what he said.

No really. He did.

Sovereign Court

The water pretty much all went down the circular stone shaft

It was never a matter of if but when that would come out


Going down feels like going home.


"This shaft is inverted."

Looks down to see what is below the shaft.....

Sovereign Court

The shaft descends 65' into what looks to be boiling water


I hope we find another giant crab to boil. I'm getting hungry.


BOILING water. Typical. Why did it have to be boiling water? So, who is first down?

Scarab Sages

Tvashtri is still lecturing.

"...but of course if one were merely to use blightburn ore, the result would merely be that the water in the chamber would...boil!" He finally snaps back to the here and now, and looks down the shaft. "Well what do you know? I wonder where the boiler is...."

Knowledge (Dungeoneering) to mentally map out where this water might be coming from and where the boiler (if there is one) might be: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

Knowledge (Engineering) for any other salient details: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37

Spellcraft to know if perhaps it's a boiling water enchantment instead: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Knowledge (Geography) in case this is a local phenomenon: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34

You can surmise that the boiling water seems to be a natural occurrence as this area has volcanic activity.

You will notice through the steam that at the bottom of the well, there appears to be another passage...Strange


Can anyone cast mass protection from elements (steam)?


Or, ummmm... Go another way?


"If you can't handle the heat, how can you steam a lobster?"

Scarab Sages

Tvashtri gently slaps his forehead.

"Volcanic activity, of course!" He looks around. "I don't suppose there's any means at our disposal for draining the passage...?"


What, you mean like some sort of super sucker?

Your mom must be around here somewhere.


Nah, she hates water.


"Is Nasty ever thirsty?"


Now that you mentioned it, I don't ever remember him drinking. Maybe he is allergic to it?

Sovereign Court

It appears as though our group of brave adventurers are stumped by well of steaming water


Sorry, been under the weather.

Anyone have a cone of cold prepared?


That isn't going to last long, though.

Sovereign Court

1 person marked this as a favorite.

Even with all your fancy-schmancy "options" you spoiled pathfinders can't handle a real 1E adventure... Kids these days


It's the steam, punk!

Scarab Sages

Tvashtri is still trying to figure out if there's some way to drain the passage....

"Are there any corridors we could have missed?"

Throw me a frickin' bone here, DM, I'm trying!

Sovereign Court

There are no passages you have missed...unless you all don't pull something out of your arse in which case i'm sure one will appear


Are there any more lobsters or crabs we can boil?


Do we have a cleric who could cast resist fire on us?


Oh yeah I've got that one.

Sovereign Court

Our group of heroes navigates the deadly boiling well and discovers the source of the heated water. The end of a "U" shaped hall opens up into a ledge overlooking a great cavern(350' long x 250' wide) The air is hot, steamy and foul with volcanic gases. The floor of the cavern is a field of bubbling mud pots, small geysers, hot springs and mineral crusts. The colors are rich reds, browns and yellows combined with blacks and greys. Terraces crusted with deposits from mineral springs extend from the sides of the cavern at several points. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and merge with stalagmites in several places to form pillars from the roof to the floor. Occasional flares of ruddy light, combined with great bursts of steam from the depths of some hot springs will briefly illuminate small points in the room.


Lets hang some rope from the stalactites and we could have a nice jungle gym. WHEE!

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
What do I see.


"Oooh Ahhhh!"

Perception
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Stealth
1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32


Nasty tastes the mud. Does it taste good? Well I mean everything tastes good to him but what does it taste like besides burning.

Sovereign Court

Well besides being really hot it has background notes of methane, carbon dioxide, salt, acid and other various tasty(for you) hydrocarbons


Watch it, Nasty is allergic to water.
Welcome back Nasty

Did I see anything?


"I thought he was only allergic to baths."

same question....

Sovereign Court

S/TD: You both saw nothing beyond what I described upthread a bit


*Following the ledge.

Balance: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25


Any exits here? A lava cave should be a monster lair, right?


I bet these stalagmites are ropers. I start bashing stalagmites with my mace.

Sovereign Court

Schism: You scurry along the ledge rather easily 1d6 ⇒ 1, as you are meandering along a mud pot erupts below you covering you in hot mud. It burns for 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6 pts of damage.

Jenny: What with the steam and stuff you see no other exits.

AMH: You can certainly reach out and smash a stalagmite. It crumbles in a satisfying cloud of sulphurus dust.
