Sandor Sunneson: Or just James?
Keelia: James will catch up - he's running late.
Smon: Jorian is in evening game Fergus
Keelia: We can just pretend Danor is being very quiet
chris107: (I'll start a brand new map from beyond the arch.
Smon: GM: OK so you don't take forever I need a Caller who says where you're going in the dungeon (unless others actively disagree). I suggest Chris since he has a map.

JamesDevil: morning all, soz i'm late
Smon: Hi James
chris107: The light from the Sword of Omens, Mordred illuminates the stairs that head south and downwards past the arch.
chris107: Hi James
Smon: GM: OK I'm saying you've had a short rest in the weasel room so can regain SR abilities. Sandro & Takan the dragonborn have showed up.
Keelia: (hi James) Bright Star follows behind Mordred
JamesDevil: Gordak follows behind BS
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will go behind Gordak
chris107: Mordred cautiously sets off down.
Smon: With Takan at the rear you descend the narrow steps into the depths...
chris107: Shield and sword at the ready. Looking out for hazards on the steps.
Smon: The stairs go down a little south then u-turn north, still descending.
JamesDevil: hp check, who needs Aid?
chris107: (Always welcome james  )

Keelia: Bright Star watches for traps and keeps her ears perked for any unusual noises
JamesDevil: K, Aid cast on both Chris, Keelia and byself
JamesDevil: (+temp hp)
Smon: You have descended about 30' when the stairs come out at the south end of a n-s tunnel, still narrow. A little ways down the passage to the right/east more stairs lead down.
Keelia: (thanks)
chris107: (Many thanks)
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro stays on alert....shortsword at the ready
Smon: It looks like the tunnel runs north about 40' then opens into a larger space.
JamesDevil: "I suggest we send the dragonborn in first if we can, he looksm like he can take a few his"
chris107: Any sound/light ahead?
Keelia: Bright Star grins at the Dwarf. "Says the one with heavy armour"
Smon: No, but there is a faint stench of putrefaction.
Smon: BS senses the smell source comes from down the north tunnel.
Keelia: She points this out to the others.
chris107: Mordred moves on stealthily, checking the steps down for visible hazard before looking into the room at the north end of the corridor
Smon: Looking east down the next set of stairs you see they descend about 15' to end at a door.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro stays on alert

DESTROYERBILL: 
Smon: into a space about 10' wide n-s, 15' e-w. At the east end a narrow 5' tunnel runs north, while to the west it opens into a chamber perhaps 20' square, with a door at the w end of the s wall.
Keelia: any sign of the thing that smells of putrefaction?
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro gets ready to inflict d6+3 HP damage on an evil undead monster
Smon: Damaged furnishings of dark-stained stone litter the chamber and the door to the south, also made of stone, hangs loosely in its frame. The smell of putrefaction is cloying and nearly overwhelming here.
Keelia: Bright Star checks the ceiling absently
Keelia: before drawing her bow and nocking an arrow

chris107: and the narrow tunnel north.
JamesDevil sent you a private message. If it did not open automatically, check for blocked popups and/or [Click Here]
chris107: Mordred suggests checking the door first rather than leaving it behind us?
DESTROYERBILL: bye
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro happy with that
8:45am  2018-6-16 DESTROYERBILL Has exited the room
8:45am  2018-6-16 JamesDevil Has exited the room
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will check the door
Sandor Sunneson: to see if he hears any noises
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 13, (+6) = 19
Smon: Which door?
Sandor Sunneson: door down the steps? one Mordred suggested
chris107: The one down the steps to the east as we entered the level
Sandor Sunneson: The one Mordred suggested
Sandor Sunneson: chris107: Mordred suggests checking the door first rather than leaving it behind us?
Smon: OK while the others retire, Mordred & Sandro go all the way back to where you came in to the level.
chris107: Bill gone too?
Smon: Sandro descends the steps and listens.
Smon: He hears a sound of movement from beyond the door - sounds like several large creatures. And a tearing of flesh.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will sign language back to Mordred what he hears
Sandor Sunneson: Bill gone?
chris107: Mordred creeps down to join him. Does it sound like bipedal clomping?
chris107 rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 18, (+3) = 21
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro suggests heading back up the stairs again and trying one of the other exits
chris107: He listens quite well for a change
Smon: Bill said Bye earlier
Smon: No, it sounds to Mordred like several large animals eating flesh.
Smon: You can roll Nature (INT) DC 20
Smon: (both of you)
chris107: (Sory, I thought he was saying goodbye to Keelia and James. Not us  )
chris107 rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 17, (+3) = 20
Smon: !!
chris107: Making up for all the 1's earlier.
Smon: Mordred identifies the unmistakable sound of giant toads eating flesh!
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 12, (+3) = 15
chris107: Mordred isn't keen on toads but looks at Sandro for confirmation. "Back up or toad bashing?"
Sandor Sunneson: Up, too small in numbers unfort
8:57am  2018-6-16 chris107 Has exited the room
8:57am  2018-6-16 chris107 Has entered the room
chris107: Mordred shrugs and backs away quietly.
Sandor Sunneson: Up Mordred, too small in numbers, how many toads you think there are?
chris107: Back to Weasel room, check they are still out.
chris107: West then north past the secret door.
chris107: "I have no idea, a few certinly."
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro follows M
Smon: You want to go back up the steps to level 2?
Sandor Sunneson: Considering the group has more than halved
chris107: yes please
chris107: We pass the back of the secret door and press on up that corridor, Ferg?
Smon: GM: OK you go back upstairs...
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 5,
Sandor Sunneson: Does Bill not want to log back on?
Smon: Looking into the weasel room, the ones you left sleeping are no longer there!
chris107: (Kinda NE running?)
Smon: They must have woken up.
Sandor Sunneson: Ja, frustrating thing about Monks are they do little damage
chris107: "Oh heck, we have a weasel alert!"
Sandor Sunneson: and in a game where damage is key, are quite inaffective, but they are interesting, just wish someone would fire an arrow at him so he can throw it back
chris107: hehe
chris107: I haven't had chance to look at Monks in depth. They look pretty cool though.
Smon: ok so from the top of the stairs you go west to a Y junction - SW and N.
Smon: SW is where you came from already.
chris107: North please, past the secret door.
chris107: (the back of the secret door in the west wall)
Smon: N the passage runs 20' to the back of a secret door in n wall, where it turns east to stairs descending 10' then continues east.
Smon: You could go n through the door or east down the steps.
Sandor Sunneson: They have cool traits, but if the Ki runs out, it's quite frustrating
chris107: hmmmm my map is out then.
Sandor Sunneson: Stay on this level, more important we stay alive to fight L3 another day?
chris107: East down the steps?
chris107: Through the secret door then please Simon.
Sandor Sunneson: Ok,
chris107: (I've doctored my map enough to get by  )
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, la porte Secrete
Smon: Mordred opens the door in the north wall, the sword's light revealing a large chamber with doors in N W and E walls - the n and w doors having 10x10 alcoves in front of them.
Smon: There is destroyed furniture scattered on the cracked flagstone floor, and in the NE corner a weird sight...
Smon: a foot-diameter white crystal juts out of the corner at waist height.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 9,
Smon: Mordred senses some kind of magic from it (passive arcana DC 9)
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will hear for noises, creeks or oddities
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 16, (+6) = 22
chris107: Is the crystal glowing?
Smon: no
Smon: But the hairs on the back of your neck seem to stand on end.
Smon: Sandro listens, no nearby sounds.
chris107: "I fear that crystal is some sort of energy weapon. Probably left by the Marcabs..."
Sandor Sunneson: This place Mordred, it's like a maze, we could call it the Crystal Maze, like there is all these challenges we have to complete. Some of our group have found the going too tough and are out the game too.
Smon: It's hemispherical & smooth looking.
chris107:
chris107: Mordred enters cautiously
chris107: His shield facing the crystal
Sandor Sunneson: I am going to handle it Mordred
Sandor Sunneson: what colour is the crystal?
Sandor Sunneson: white
Smon: Mordred steps into the chamber. He notes that the remains of the furniture seem quite simple, indicative of servants' quarters rather than nobility.
Sandor Sunneson: he answers out loud speaking to himself
chris107: Mordred keeps within 15' of the monk.]
Smon: Sandro walks over to the crystal - how is he handling it?
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro thinks, white means good, black means evil, so it could be positive if I hold it
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will put one hand firmly on the crystal
Smon: It's attached to the wall, you can't tell how deep it goes. Sandro puts a hand on it. It feels cool.
Sandor Sunneson: No effects?
Sandor Sunneson: If no effects, he'll see if by placing his second hand on it he could affect something,
Smon: Sandro puts his other hand on it - still nothing.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will do this for about a minute, and if nothing happens, walk back over to Mordred
chris107: M closes the secret door behind him, moving furniture to hopefully stop weasels following.
Smon: Are you keeping your hands still on the crystal?
chris107: "Watch those doors please sandro. I'll try and identify this magical crystal." M begins his ritual.
Smon: Mordred closes the secret door -from this side it looks just like part of the wall.
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, to start off with
Smon: Mordred starts casting Identify.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 3,
Sandor Sunneson: oooh
Sandor Sunneson: cheeky Simon
Sandor Sunneson:
Smon: 10 minutes later the ritual completes. Mordred identifies the Crystal of Unseen Servants - rub crystal to summon an Unseen Servant for 1 hour.
chris107: Very cool!
chris107: Can it be removed without damaging it?
chris107: Does he think?
Sandor Sunneson: Nice
Smon: No
chris107: "Oh how wonderful! It can clean all this gore off my armour!"
Smon: It draws on local magical energies to power it, removing it would destroy the enchantment.
chris107: Okay, M rubs the crystal.
chris107: A shame but still very cool.
Smon: There is a very faint shimmer beside M as the US forms.
Smon: You order it to clean you up?
chris107: "I say, be a good fellow and clean my stuff up would you?"
Smon: Gloop starts to rub off Mordred's armour.
Sandor Sunneson: cool, nice XP here
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro waits around for a bit, ready to move on when Mordred is done,
chris107: "Oh splendid! Well done." M hangs about enjoying the buffing.
chris107: Turning this way and that to allow access to all the hard to get to parts.
chris107: "Carful! That tickles!"
Smon: While not spotless (it has no water) it gets him a lot cleaner.
chris107: "So which door do you fancy, Sandro?"
chris107: This pleases Mordred no end. How he wishes he could have such a device at his villa in Selatine.
Sandor Sunneson: Any away from the big frogs, next time with the others we should head straight to L3
Smon: can do 33 more mins
Sandor Sunneson: E wall?
chris107: Mordred enters the alcove hich leads to the north door.
Sandor Sunneson: lol
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, Mordred, north it is
Smon: The north door is closed and in good condition. It seems colder here in the alcove than in the main room.
Sandor Sunneson: North
chris107: "Well you were blathering on about frogs!"
Smon: M tries the door?
chris107: He touches it first, does it feel cold?
Smon: removing gauntlet?
chris107: No he will touch the back of his gauntlet to it. If it feels cold through that he knows it's very cold.
Smon: there's no ice or condensation on the old wooden door, you feel nothing through gauntlet.
Smon: The door has a plain brass handle.
chris107: He looks to the hinges. Does the door pull or push?
Smon: push - away from you
Sandor Sunneson: lets push Mordred
chris107: Then he will twist the handle with his gauntleted hand and push.
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro gets ready to push
Smon: The door opens smoothly into a large square chamber about 30x30 with a matching door in the east wall. It seems empty, but the walls are faced in masonry of a rough dark blue stone held together by nearly black jointing.
Smon: It has a strangely sinister ambiance.
chris107: The floor too?
Smon: The light of the sword seems dimmer than usual here.
chris107: (faced)
Smon: No, just the walls; floor is grey flagstones as in the room behind you.
chris107: "What evil could cause this mighty blade to dim?"
chris107: Thanks.
chris107: Mordred enters, presenting the Sword of Destiny boldly.
chris107: "Begone forces of evil!"
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro follows, with his +1 spear
Smon: Mordred steps into the room, the sword sends flickering shadows across the walls.
Smon: Flickering... Shadows...
Smon: what's your passive pers?
chris107: "Shadows!2
