24/11/48 L1 Alvariel Sandro & Bright Star in the Quiet Halls (933 XP)

8:42am  2018-11-24 Smon Has entered the room
sandor sunneson: Keelia is running up to an hour late
joriandrake: I can risk lvl1
sandor sunneson:
sandor sunneson: and be rewarded with 73XP
joriandrake: Well, we can go and walk around on level 1 until she is here, might as well have Alvariel meet the kobolds and talk about that resource
joriandrake: the red one (I always forget the name of it)
Smon: If you really want to do level 1, the south-east Quiet Halls east of the Efah-Soom teleporter remains unexplored.
sandor sunneson: what would you suggest Simon:? At the end of the day it's all down to the dice roll
Smon: Parts of levels 2, 3 & 4 also unexplored.
sandor sunneson: You think L2 realistic?
joriandrake: Well, if there is still an unexplored part on lvl1 at least we won't just waste tme if we go there
sandor sunneson: just sounds a bit too unrealistic, lets do level 2 Jorian?
Smon: You are both quite squishy so maybe do lvl 1 until Keelia arrives?
sandor sunneson: lol :), ok
sandor sunneson: ok, I'll try and map, even though on past experience I am rubbish#
joriandrake: We can always start with lvl1 and see if we survive that and if still having time attempt lvl2 Fergus
sandor sunneson: sounds good
Smon: GM: OK 24/11/4448, Alvariel & Sandro decide to do some exploring on level 1.
joriandrake: sidenote: Alv helped Danor and learned language with Bright Star as earlier, for this quest I don't change currently memorized spells, might suggest to Sandro to ask the surviving bugbear from the adventure with Danor to maybe join us on the highest, level 1 floor (or ground level?)
joriandrake: Other than that, I'm ready to go
Smon: You head down the corridor east from the Efah-Soom teleporter room, passing open doors into looted chambers. Ahead you see a side tunnel to the left/north, and just past it a stone crypt door in the south wall. The tunnel continues east beyond.
Smon: That bugbear ran off & you didn't see her again.
joriandrake: Alvariel inspects the tunnel, scribbles some notes in his papers then casts Mage Armor on himself (oh well, at least we didn't have to pay her then)
sandor sunneson: continue east
joriandrake: "I have no idea which part of the level is actually left unexplored so lead the way good monk"
Smon: You reach the intersection. Looking left/north you see the tunnel runs north 30' then opens into a huge pillared chamber, the columns inscribed with bone pattern; fallen masonry; bats flutter above; rusty gong hangs between the southernmost columns 10' from the entrance.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 8,
Smon: With a slight shock you realise numerous human-sized figures stand unmoving in the great hall.
joriandrake: "A gong? Used to warn of enemies, a dinner gong, perhaps one for ceremonies?" The wizard muses when he notices the unmoving figures
Smon: To your east the east tunnel continues 60', passing doors to n & s, before ending at an archway into a chamber at the edge of your darkvision.
Smon: Looking north into the great hall you also see scattered fallen masonry on the floor.
sandor sunneson: what you think Jorian? Go and explore in the great hall and the human figures?
joriandrake: "I barely take out an archway and a chamber in the east beyond two doors to north and south, and there is damaged stonework the great hall to the north"
joriandrake: "We might ttry the hall first, we might have to pass through the figures here anyway"
sandor sunneson: Ok, sounds like a good idea
sandor sunneson: Sandro remains on alert
joriandrake: "If it comes to battle I will cast illusions of myself and then if required make you invisible, is that a plan?"
8:59am  2018-11-24 Keelia Has entered the room
sandor sunneson: Yes, sounds good, and depending on what we fight, we escape lol
Keelia: Hi!
sandor sunneson: Marvellous
joriandrake: Alv moves carefully to the great hall
sandor sunneson: Morning Keelia
joriandrake: Hello Keelia
sandor sunneson: We are having a mooch round L1 unexplored area
Smon: GM: Heading 30' down the north tunnel you reach the south entry to the great hall. Past the rusty gong you get a good view of the Hall - High (30)‘ ceiling, columns inscribed with bone pattern; fallen masonry; bats flutter above; rusty gong between southernmost columns. The hall is 50' e-w and 90' n-s, you can barely see the north wall. There are 2 exits in w wall, 2 in e wall, 1 in n wall. Around the chamber stand nearly a score of skeletons & zombies in tattered grave clothes. They turn in your direction...
Keelia: i have no idea where my character sheet is!
Keelia: L1 sounds good
joriandrake: not in the thread?
joriandrake: "undead!" Alv shouts to warn the monk

sandor sunneson: Sandro ready to attack, but can he position himself in such a position so he isn;t surrounded??
Smon: #20 sandro your go
Smon: If you enter the hall to attack you could then move back to the entryway?
sandor sunneson: ok, sounds good, will attack normal followed by flurry of attacks to use 1ki
Smon: still a lot could attack you unless Alvariel & you hold the tunnel.
Smon: OK you race into the hall, are you attacking skels or zombies?

sandor sunneson: Ok, we'll hold the tunnel, Jorian, agree?
joriandrake: if we can actually hold the tunnel then it is a good idea

Smon: Roll init BS
joriandrake: "Be warned Sandro, I will try to burn as many of the undead I can"
sandor sunneson: keep your FB
sandor sunneson: Could bounce back and hit us
Smon: A has several fbs now and the hall is vast, perfect for fb with the massed undead
joriandrake: (I don't think it bounces in 5e, wil lask how viable targeting will be from Simon and decide then)
sandor sunneson: That might work, Sandro can evade being a monlk
joriandrake: (well, it is clear then)
Smon: As long as you target it over 20' away & aren't trying t get the ones in melee w you, you are fine
joriandrake: Alvariel waits for sandro to strike at them and then he will cast Fireball
Smon: Bright Star init please
sandor sunneson: At 7th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon's lightning breath or a Fireball spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
sandor sunneson: how cool is that!!
joriandrake: (Yep, Evasion is cool)
joriandrake: (Keelia might be afk Simon)

Smon: Past the rusty gong you get a good view of the Hall - High (30)‘ ceiling, columns inscribed with bone pattern; fallen masonry; bats flutter above; rusty gong between southernmost columns. The hall is 50' e-w and 90' n-s, you can barely see the north wall. There are 2 exits in w wall, 2 in e wall, 1 in n wall.
Smon: Several bats were incinerated by the fireball, the rest seem rather annoyed.
joriandrake: "I planned to try the gong, but seeing how parts of ceiling dropped earlier due to fireball maybe a loud gong might not be a good idea after all"
sandor sunneson: bat murderer
joriandrake: Joker would be proud
Keelia: (  )
joriandrake: Alvariel happily shares his notes on the exploration with Star, as she is a far better mapper than either him or Sandro

8:42am 2018-11-24 Smon Has entered the room
sandor sunneson: Keelia is running up to an hour late
joriandrake: I can risk lvl1
sandor sunneson:
sandor sunneson: and be rewarded with 73XP
joriandrake: Well, we can go and walk around on level 1 until she is here, might as well have Alvariel meet the kobolds and talk about that resource
joriandrake: the red one (I always forget the name of it)
Smon: If you really want to do level 1, the south-east Quiet Halls east of the Efah-Soom teleporter remains unexplored.
sandor sunneson: what would you suggest Simon:? At the end of the day it's all down to the dice roll
Smon: Parts of levels 2, 3 & 4 also unexplored.
sandor sunneson: You think L2 realistic?
joriandrake: Well, if there is still an unexplored part on lvl1 at least we won't just waste tme if we go there
sandor sunneson: just sounds a bit too unrealistic, lets do level 2 Jorian?
Smon: You are both quite squishy so maybe do lvl 1 until Keelia arrives?
sandor sunneson: lol :), ok
sandor sunneson: ok, I'll try and map, even though on past experience I am rubbish#
joriandrake: We can always start with lvl1 and see if we survive that and if still having time attempt lvl2 Fergus
sandor sunneson: sounds good
Smon: GM: OK 24/11/4448, Alvariel & Sandro decide to do some exploring on level 1.
joriandrake: sidenote: Alv helped Danor and learned language with Bright Star as earlier, for this quest I don't change currently memorized spells, might suggest to Sandro to ask the surviving bugbear from the adventure with Danor to maybe join us on the highest, level 1 floor (or ground level?)
joriandrake: Other than that, I'm ready to go
Smon: You head down the corridor east from the Efah-Soom teleporter room, passing open doors into looted chambers. Ahead you see a side tunnel to the left/north, and just past it a stone crypt door in the south wall. The tunnel continues east beyond.
Smon: That bugbear ran off & you didn't see her again.
joriandrake: Alvariel inspects the tunnel, scribbles some notes in his papers then casts Mage Armor on himself (oh well, at least we didn't have to pay her then)
sandor sunneson: continue east
joriandrake: "I have no idea which part of the level is actually left unexplored so lead the way good monk"
Smon: You reach the intersection. Looking left/north you see the tunnel runs north 30' then opens into a huge pillared chamber, the columns inscribed with bone pattern; fallen masonry; bats flutter above; rusty gong hangs between the southernmost columns 10' from the entrance.
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 8,
Smon: With a slight shock you realise numerous human-sized figures stand unmoving in the great hall.
joriandrake: "A gong? Used to warn of enemies, a dinner gong, perhaps one for ceremonies?" The wizard muses when he notices the unmoving figures
Smon: To your east the east tunnel continues 60', passing doors to n & s, before ending at an archway into a chamber at the edge of your darkvision.<<
joriandrake: "We might as well stay around and finish the mapping for level 1." Alv inspects the fallen masonry and carefully steps closer to the columns to inspect the inscribing
sandor sunneson: head east???
Keelia: Bright Star frowns. "There were the bells on the lower levels which called Demons to dinner. The dinner was us."
Smon: The bone patterning indicates a devotion to Thanatos, the Ghinarian death god.
Keelia: east sounds like a plan
Smon: There are 2 tunnels east from the great hall - n or s?
joriandrake: "oh, THanatos hm?" Alv tries to make out any meaning of it
Smon: s is closest
joriandrake: The wizard stops "Wait a moment" and he begins a ritual of magic detection
Keelia: (south works for me)
sandor sunneson: cool, s it is
Smon: That will take 10 minutes right J?
joriandrake: yes
Smon: OK. A begins a ritual while S & BS look down the southern east tunnel.
joriandrake: and will also work for 10 more minutes after it, so Alv inspects first this room with pillars once done to check for magic and then follows the others to the south tunnel, detection might be enough for the rest of the exploratiopn
Smon: It runs east 40' before opening into a chamber. There is a carved archway in the n wall of the tunnel after 20'. Sniffing the air, Star detects a slight sulphourous tang from the tunnel.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
Smon: A completes his ritual. He detects no magic in the great hall.
Keelia: Bright Star flags it to S
Keelia: "Smells like brimstone"
joriandrake: Alv follows the others carefully checking for carvings of historical importance and magic along the way
Smon: GM: You head 20' down the e tunnel to the archway, carved with images of devils. Looking through you see a 20x30 chamber with matching arch in n wall. Devils are carved in high relief on walls; faint odor of brimstone you can all smell; empty censers hanging on hooks; old bloodstains on the floor.
Smon: To the east Alvariel senses strong magic.
joriandrake: "East, there's strong magical presence" he notes
Keelia: Bright Star draws her bow again.
Smon: Looking east 20' into the east chamber you see many ancient Altani (Egyptian style) sarcophagi arrayed upright round the walls, and directly opposite you what appears to be a gigantic pair of scales, big enough for a man to climb into. The aura of magic comes from the scales.
sandor sunneson: Sandro being bold steps onto the scales
Smon: You cautiously approach the Sarcophagi Chamber:Stone sarcophagi (20) standing upright; hieroglyphics on walls; empty torch sconces; giant (15‘ tall) pair of stone merchant scales. The chamber is about 30' e-w by 40' n-s, with exit tunnels in middle of s wall and w end of n wall.
joriandrake: "The claes are magical, it might expect something to be placed on it, or an offering"
joriandrake: scales*
Smon: Sandro clambers up into the scales... the hierogylphs blaze!
Smon: "BE TESTED IN THE BALANCE...." says an ethereal voice.
Smon: Sandro starts to glow!
Smon: "YOU ARE FOUND ...WORTHY!"
sandor sunneson: Sandro will bow in respect
sandor sunneson: Sandro will bow again
Keelia: Bright Star's ears twitch at the voice.
Smon: GM: Sandro you are Blessed for the rest of the session - can add +d4 to attacks & saves.
joriandrake: Alvariel just gasps and regaining composure starts to scribble new notes eagerly
sandor sunneson: Sandro will leave the scales feeling worthy
Smon: The glyphs fade but Sandro is still glimmering slightly.
sandor sunneson: Shall we go on??
joriandrake: "Fascinating" says the half-elf raising one of his arched eyebrows
Keelia: Bright Star checks him over closely but is satisfied he seems ok
sandor sunneson: Or would you both like to try the scales?
sandor sunneson: I feel the same I think, but with a warm glow inside me
sandor sunneson: the Monk says
joriandrake: Alv avoids it, he doesn't want to hear anyone tell him he isn't worthy
sandor sunneson: Can we short rest to recover Sandro's Ki?
Smon: You can start a rest then I roll checks
joriandrake: "After ten minutes of exploration ok? That allows us to walk and explore with magic detection on"
sandor sunneson: sure
Keelia: Bright Star declines
Smon: You notice from down the south tunnel a flickering purple-black glow.
Keelia: *the offer of the scales
joriandrake: Alv starts to explore the place (history, perception, whatever needed)
Smon: The s tunnel is 30' long and opens into a chamber from which the strange fiery glow comes. The n exit is only 10' long and opens into a chamber dominated by an 8' tall basalt obelisk, chewed bones scattered around it.
Smon: Alvariel inspects the sarcophagi, they are marked with Altani glyphs. Roll Religion A.
Keelia: Bright Star draws her bow again

Smon: they are about 15-20' away
Smon: A turns and flees; the ghouls following
joriandrake: ok, actually using speed spell i think then
Smon: S & BS roll init as A bursts into the sarcophagus chamber, 2 ghouls chasing him
joriandrake: Expeditious Retreat
Smon: OOC chewed bones are something to pay attention to
Keelia rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 16, (+7) = 23

joriandrake: (Alv moved 60 feet thanks to ExpRetreat this turn, using it to hide behind Star and Sandro if reaching them)
Smon: (ok)
Smon: The ghouls close to within 15' of Alvariel, who has run behind Star
Smon: #19 Sandro & Alvariel again
Smon: This is called Kiting I hear
Smon: nothing?
sandor sunneson: my PC
sandor sunneson: is playijg up
joriandrake: Alvariel looks for a route to be able to run circles if needed to keep away from the undead
sandor sunneson: He will dart them,
sandor sunneson Rolls 1d20+6x2 and gets:
2 (+6) = 8
20 (+6) = 26
joriandrake: Alv will use bonus action for ExpRet (60 feet move) and cast his last level 1 spell:protection from good/evil

Smon Rolls 1d20+5x2 and gets:
3 (+5) = 8

Smon: roll DC 10 CON save Sandro
joriandrake: (will move thus so that he remains in line of sight)
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 13, (+6) = 19
joriandrake: Whew
Smon: To stay in LOS of the ghouls you have to stay in the chamber J and a ghoul can reach you
joriandrake: The gears in Alv's mind run amok as he plans his next actions
joriandrake: Ok, Alv risks it and stays in chamber while moving
Smon: OK the 2nd ghoul chases A round the chamber and attacks him
Smon: /roll d20+5x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+5x2 and gets:

Smon: Do you resume short rest here?
joriandrake: "Thank you!" Alv nods to both "... I guess these are the souls who weren't worthy?"
Smon: Is Alvariel going to wander off again?
joriandrake: Yep, short rest now fine
Keelia: nice!

Smon: /roll 2d4
Smon rolls 2d4 and gets: 1, 2, = 3
Smon: You have been resting up for another 20 minutes when three giant centipedes come crawling down from the obelisk chamber to the north.
Keelia: Bright Star draws her bow again
joriandrake: "Oh boy"
Smon: OOC I screwed up that encounter BTW... should have been much worse
Smon: /roll 2d6
Smon rolls 2d6 and gets: 6, 4, = 10
sandor sunneson: lol
Smon: They ignore you and crawl over to the ghoul corpses to feast.
sandor sunneson: continue to rest
Smon: I guess the gods blessed Alvariel
joriandrake: "While those critters are nearby??"
sandor sunneson: what should it have been???
Smon: Alvariel roll an Arcana check
joriandrake: Doesn't matter, Meroya protected him
sandor sunneson: they'll take over 10 min to eat at the ghiouls??
joriandrake rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 1, (+10) = 11
Smon: The ghouls have weeks of rotten flesh on them
Smon: LOL
joriandrake: seriously, worst lore master ever
Smon: some loremaster you are A
Smon: You wait while the centipedes eat the ghouls' eyes then burrow into the sockets for the tasty brains.
joriandrake: "well, I guess we can rest, with so much food they might not risk fighting us and lose it all"
sandor sunneson: Sandro will get some HD HP back
Smon: The one remaining ghoul eye stares blankly at you
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 5,
Smon: You complete a Short Rest!

sandor sunneson: XP ???
sandor sunneson rolls 6d8+18 and gets: 8, 1, 6, 5, 7, 7, (+18) = 52
sandor sunneson: wasn't expecting that good rolls, lol, back to full
joriandrake: Before we continue exploration Alv will do the detect magic ritual again, then stay close to Sandro and Star
joriandrake: (you doN't have to use all dices at once Fergus)
sandor sunneson: i didn't
sandor sunneson: have 2 left
joriandrake: Alv used the short rest to regain 3 lvl1 slots
joriandrake: as per wizard daily ability
Smon: The obelisk to the north detects as powerfully magical - abjuration maybe
joriandrake: I have to inspect this"
joriandrake: Alv, the failed lore mage goes and attempts the impossible again
joriandrake: He checks the obelsik for any markings, notes, insriptions or buttons
Smon: You also detect strong magic from the glowing chamber to south, which appears to have a raised dais in the centre with a chest on it.
sandor sunneson: Sandro will hug the obelisk,
joriandrake: He tells as such to Star "chamber is magical, the onw with raised dais and chest"
Smon: As Alvariel enters the chamber of the obelisk his spell winks out - Antimagic!
joriandrake: Alv gasps at Sandro's action and takes out his papers to scribble notes again
Smon: He must have cast his expeditious retreat just on the edge of the A-M field, thanks be to Meroya!
joriandrake: "oh boy, antimagical spell... your blessing might be gone Sandro"
joriandrake: ah that is what you meant by being worst
joriandrake: worse*
Smon: Sandro's Blessing is also down. He notices a crack in the obelisk, & it looks as if someone has been chipping at it.
joriandrake: "well, I won't recast the ritual right now, we already know of the obelsik now and the chest room"
joriandrake: "We also need to mark the anti-magic obelisk on the map, might come in handy with things like curse magic"
sandor sunneson: he'll point that out to others
Smon: OOC last time this obelisk & ghouls killed a bunch of adventurers
Keelia: Bright Star will come over and investigate
joriandrake: "oh? hm, did the ghouls do this? I wonder"
joriandrake: (ooh, good to know... where is their loot?  )
Smon: It looks like a pickaxe or similar was used on the obelisk, likely by a foolish adventurer who attracted a pack of rampaging ghouls into a room where spells don't work
Smon: Star roll History
joriandrake: Even Alv wouldn't pick a fight with obelisks, npot to mention he is now also angry at dead adventurers becauser they damaged an important magical/historical artifact
Smon: OOC plan to finish up 11.30
sandor sunneson: any footprints in ground to mark possible route to horde>??
sandor sunneson: cool
joriandrake: "How dare someone damage a perfectly good magical obelisk that is a historical treasure? I would pick a fight with them, and tell them I have an axe to grind due to their action"
joriandrake: (english pun attempt on pick-axe)
Keelia rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 15, (+3) = 18
Keelia: for history
Smon: There are lots of foot prints from the north, looks like an adventurer party came in that way & left same way. By accounts the north part of the Quiet Halls has been explored so loot likely taken. Bright Star remembers reports from Blue, a Tabaxi adventurer from a year or so back, he saved his friend who was killed by ghouls in a chamber like this. It might have been Nemesis the amazon who attracted the ghouls.
Keelia: She relays her memories to the others
sandor sunneson: Sandro is happy to press on
joriandrake: "I see, so the vandal was already punished then" Alv doesn't want to seek him out just to berate a revived person
Smon: GM: From the obelisk chamber the west tunnel leads 40' past the n end of the sulphur/devil room back into the great hall. The n tunnel leads to looted chambers, scattered gnawed bones, no loot. So only the remaining southern chambers to explore...
joriandrake: "So, to the chamber with the chest where I detected magic before it got dispelled?"
Smon: yup
joriandrake: oh damn, Alv casts Magic Armor on himself again, as I guess that is gone too
Smon: Your spells return when you leave the obelisk anti magic zone
joriandrake: oooh good
joriandrake: that means he was still able to detect magic for a while and Mage Armor still active
Smon: You head back south past the great scales of judgement & 30' down tunnel to the glowing chamber.
Keelia: We head south?
joriandrake: "Let's go to that chamber quick then, so I can identify from closer up the magic school near the chest"
Smon: It is square, 30x30, with an exit to west that likely is the main corridor that leads back to the Efah-Soom and out of Stonehell. Raised dais is 2‘ tall, 10‘ dia. in center of room; stone chest on dais; weird flickering black-purple flames crawl across the floor & walls.
Smon: You can all roll DC 15 Arcana
joriandrake rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 10, (+10) = 20
Keelia rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 7, (+3) = 10
joriandrake: wow, not an 1, by a 0
Keelia: nope
Smon: Alvariel recognises the purple black flames as Balefire.
sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 14, (+1) = 15
joriandrake: "Balefire" (Alv will tell the others all about it whatever he knows of it)
Smon: Sandro has heard of Balefire too. Balefire is a cold, blackish-purple flame of supernatural origin. Balefire flickers into appearance, crawls across the floor and walls, and then vanishes. It appears randomly and without warning, and only affects living creatures. Magical protections against cold provide some defense.
Smon: Alvariel explains this - it is not too uncommon in ancient crypts in the far north, but he has never heard of it in these southern lands before.
Smon: Alvariel knows that it burns but probably not immediately lethal. It can be warded by holy water.
joriandrake: "Interesting find, there might be a connection between this place and the northern lands"
Keelia: like the holy water we have in the bag?
joriandrake: "Also, we can use holy water to ward from it... and that reminds me we know a place to get holy water from"
Smon: If you want to reach the chest on the daid you will risk getting burned.
Smon: Yes you have holy water.
joriandrake: "Hm, it might be wise to only let Bright Star go to the Chest and use holy water on her alone"
Smon: You would need to use it to mark a path to the dais, 2 vials to make 2 barriers.
joriandrake: Did alv only notice magic from the fire or is the origin of ther detection simething else?
joriandrake: something*
Keelia: I have 2 vials in my bag, if my notes are accurate
joriandrake: (we can finish this chamber, maybe rush below to get a replacement holy water for today too then if we want to risk the lower floors?)
Smon: yes BS can use 2 vials to mark out a path to the chest.
Smon: BS roll DC 15 Sleight of Hand to mark a path through without getting burned by the Balefire
Keelia rolls 1d20+13 and gets: 3, (+13) = 16
joriandrake: "Do you have a healing potion? I can give you one just in case you need it as we doN't have Danor with us today"
Keelia: phew, just
Keelia: "Bright Star has healing potions and Keoghan's ointment both."
joriandrake: Alv nods relieved
Smon: OK Star works her way over to the dais, with the last of her holy water she marks a safe zone round the chest; the balefire flinches back.
joriandrake: "May Meroya protect you then"
Smon: The chest is ornate; banded in iron, heavy set, with a pretty scary looking complex lock, the kind that is often trapped.
Keelia: she'll quickly check for traps
Smon: ok inves or percep
Keelia rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 7, (+11) = 18
Keelia: for investigation
Keelia: (not rolling super high today)
Smon: Star finds a concealed aperture, looks like a poison gas system - releases cloud of gas when chest tampered with.
Smon: The gas nozzle hole is inside the keyhole.
Keelia: she'll try to disable it
Smon: OK roll Thieves Tools (DEX)
Keelia rolls 1d20+13 and gets: 20, (+13) = 33
Smon:
Keelia: yep
sandor sunneson: well done
Keelia:
Smon: Star plugs a small wad of ammonia soaked fabric into the hole, blocking it.
joriandrake: amazing
Smon: Can try to pick lock now?
Keelia: yes please
Keelia rolls 1d20+13 and gets: 18, (+13) = 31
sandor sunneson: Sandro will applaud the skill
Smon: ok thieves tools DEX again - Star swiftly jimmies open the complex lock.
Smon: At last the chest (which seems bolted to the floor) is opened...
joriandrake: master thief
Keelia: My dice were saving up for those rolls
Smon: Star's eyes light up at the sight of the Shinies within - pearl earring, diamond tiara & ruby pendant, on a bed of 1000gp.
sandor sunneson: nice, b Toutatis!
Smon: (pearl earring v 40, diamond tiara v 800gp & ruby pendant v 400gp)
Keelia: She'll scoop it all quickly into the bag of holding, watching the fire with a wary eye
Smon: The fire occasionally runs up to the holy water but does not cross it
Smon: You have a few minutes until the water dries out
Smon: Star scoops up all the treasure
Smon: GM: You can all have +200 exploration XP now
sandor sunneson: cool
Keelia: awesome.
Smon: that makes a total 933 for today, not bad for level 1
joriandrake: Once Star returns Alv will ask for the Pearl earring, telling that he will return the normal pearl to Danor later, and suggests to check how much the diamonds are woth in the tiara for revival spell reasons
Keelia: Bright Star will buy out the other's share of the shines with her share of gold + whatever other gold is necessary
sandor sunneson: Shall we crack on?? Well done Keelia? Or is now a good time to stop as its 1123?
Smon: Will finish off now
Keelia: Thanks guys! Great game
Smon: total value is 1240 for the jewelry & 1000 gp
Keelia: got to go, see you next weekend
sandor sunneson: good thinking
joriandrake: We might try to rush to the well to refill a holy water vial?
joriandrake: ok, thanks for game then
Smon: That's on level 9 so no
Smon: Level 9 wandering monsters could TPK you
11:25am  2018-11-24 Keelia Has exited the room

Smon: OK so last week a few of you defeated Wraith-King Magrathor on level 3.
JamesDevil: I leveled from it and ghot a magic talking sword ^^
Smon: A few days ago a party including Talaxakan returned to the kobold market from the first expedition to level 6 - the Kion crypts beneath the halls of the mountain trolls.
sandor sunneson: Sandro is now a M8, I misread the levels against XP, thought he was M7, he's actually M8
joriandrake: Danor and Alvariel cleared out the place, I have the idea that it could be repurposed as a resting place & sickbay for adventurers in Stonehell, the laboratory inside was moved to Selatine
Smon: They reported weird flying eye guardians and 8' tall 4 armed undead mummies.
joriandrake: (right, i also mistook my xp by 1k o.O)
JamesDevil: undead, music to Danor ear's
DESTROYERBILL: on the table top i leveled up to 9

Smon: #18 Danor hears that writing one's name on a special wall in Stonehell grants immortality.
joriandrake: test
Smon: #7 Talaxakan hears that a massive chasm bisects several of the dungeon's levels allowing easy travel between them... if one can fly.
JamesDevil: hmm, why do suspect that its immortality in an undeady sense?
Smon: #6 Sandro hears The unearthly four-armed mummies that prowl certain parts of the dungeon grant those who eat their dusty wrappings potent powers.
Smon: Alvariel reads that The scintillating globes found in the dungeon are linked to certain enchanted rings, allowing near-instant travel.
Smon: Bright Star has a scintillating ring she has been carrying around for many months since she found it in Stonehell.
DESTROYERBILL: i know where we can find some alredy deseased 4 armed mummys
joriandrake: ooh

JamesDevil: i think we already got the loot last time. it was under a corpse in the corner
JamesDevil: lol
JamesDevil: 10:30 i think
DESTROYERBILL: there might be more
Smon: Soaring (40’) ceiling supported by flower-carved pillars; ceiling glows with bright light, illuminating the room; numerous plant beds holding a riot of pale subterranean flowers; scent of blossoms.
Keelia: she'll zoom forward really quickly to check around the corner at the balcony
sandor sunneson: thought so, all good that with me
Smon: stop at 10.30
JamesDevil: Danor will walk around the room with Slider checking for hifdden doors
JamesDevil: "So slider how did you enjoy our first battle together?"
joriandrake: "Second"
sandor sunneson: call of nature if I don't respond, brb
joriandrake: The monk multiclassed into druid
Smon: Star heads across the well lit arboretum between the flower beds and carved pillars. She reaches the east exit at s end of e wall and looks down. The tunnel runs east 50' then turns n. There is a side tunnel s after 40'
JamesDevil: btw how should i RP the sword? should I speak both sides of the conversation?

Smon: Bright Star at the south end of the hall hears the sound of a stone door grinding opening from the balcony up above.
sandor sunneson: back
Smon: The balcony is 20' above ground and runs 30' along the south wall.
DESTROYERBILL: lets kill it
JamesDevil: "back up to the corridor we came out of everyone"
Keelia: Bright Star zooms back to tell the others
JamesDevil: "we need to be in a defence able position if its more bees"
joriandrake: "Stone door?"
Keelia: from the balcony above
joriandrake: "If still unexplored we should check it out"
JamesDevil: can we see the door from the corridor below?
JamesDevil: "we saw bees go that way the last time we took them on"
Smon: GM: As Bright Star races back and warns the others, you hear heavy foot steps from the balcony, and then an enormous figure appears on the balcony - 15' tall, head just 5' below the 40' ceiling, an ancient wizened Stone Giant with a 'beard' formed of giant bees!
Smon: He sees you and shakes a gnarled fist. "Oi! Leave me bees alone!"
Smon: /roll 2d6
Smon rolls 2d6 and gets: 4, 1, = 5

JamesDevil: "I am sorry sir, we were just passing through and see to have stumbled accross them, we are a little lost tbh, can you direct us to an exit?"
JamesDevil: seem*
Smon: "Gerron outta here!" he yells. "Stop killin' me bees!"
JamesDevil: whispering to T "Bees I can take, Giants I can take but bth at the same time is a big ask"
joriandrake: "Very sorry for disturbing you, we jsut fend off their attack and didn't mean any harm, just had to defend ourselves"
Smon: Alvariel roll persuasion

joriandrake: "Well, we met the nice owner of this... apiary, so shall we just leave?"
JamesDevil: I did say just before he rolled but nvm
sandor sunneson: yes, lets go, and apologies again, Sandor suggests going away from the balcony to appease the big man
JamesDevil: "ok, who wants to take him, I have an idea how we can handle those bees, but we'll need back up down the corridor and hit them with a firewall, the giant will then be a slogfest"
JamesDevil: "are we up for it?"
joriandrake: (lag can mess up chat lines, for me your comment was after my rol las example, so no worries)
Smon: ok I'll count it as a 10
DESTROYERBILL: yes

Smon: The beekeeper points down the east tunnel.
Smon: Star turns visible
JamesDevil: "loot my friend"
sandor sunneson: thnk of the XP
joriandrake: (alspo because we jsut talk about this before him)
Smon: He's about 80' away and was yelling
JamesDevil: Danor points to the same tunnel "that way for the eixt?
JamesDevil: "exit*
joriandrake: Alvariel signals with his arms and hand palm before face to Star that she is visible now
Keelia: Bright Star considers. "Bright Star thinks we should back away."
Smon: "aye! Go on now! Follow the tunnel."
JamesDevil: ok
JamesDevil: "lets go gang"
joriandrake: The wizard nods in agreement with the scout
JamesDevil: Danor walks to the tunnel
DESTROYERBILL: can i ask you a wuestion what do you know about the three eyed king

sandor sunneson rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 18, (+4) = 22
Smon: "Nowt!" he calls to Sandro.
joriandrake: (I imagine this as some scientist asking elaborate questions from a redneck)
sandor sunneson: cheers dude Sandro will call back
JamesDevil: Danor starts walking down the east tunnel, straight down the middle with Slider out looking for hidden doors
Smon: The tunnel runs east 50' then turns n. There is a side tunnel s after 40'
Keelia: Bright Star watches behind them for a bit
joriandrake: "well... what next? There's still the magic mist?"
JamesDevil: Danor wave BS over
JamesDevil: mind taking a look around the corner? (the 40' one)
Smon: You reach the side tunnel; it runs s 10' then turns east, with a door in the w wall. From down it to the east you hear the sound of more bees.
Keelia: She heads over
Smon: Ahead your tunnel turns n.
joriandrake: "If we go in the direction of bees I believe we won't be able to avoid a battle with their owner"
JamesDevil: hmm, ok, lets move up to the next turning
Smon: OOC will play to 10.30 then resume at same point next week
joriandrake: "Giant bees were already terrifying, not to speak of an owner that is tall enough to have a beard of living giant bees"
Smon: GM: Danor you notice the north wall here is a wall of stone 'bricks', not bedrock.
Keelia: Bright Star heads on silent feet to the next corner
JamesDevil: Danor would .like to investigate the brink (do i get the dwarf bonus?
JamesDevil: )
joriandrake: "ask Sloider about it"
joriandrake: Slider*
Smon: OK you reach the north turn. The tunnel runs north 40' to a T-junction, with a side tunnel east after 20'. The west wall is bricks, the east wall bedrock.
JamesDevil: i assume nothing fancy about the brinks then
Smon: Slider: "Hm, worked stone walls to north/west - not detecting any sliding rooms though."
sandor sunneson: Sandro remembers the rumour about writing his name on a wall and decides to give it a go here
joriandrake: o.o
Smon: The workmanship looks human, but ancient - reminiscent of ruins from the ancient Empire of Glorious Doomfire that fell 2000 years ago.
JamesDevil: this could go so wrong....
sandor sunneson: but then thinks better off it after writing the R
Smon: Sandro writes Sandr on the bricks

Smon: Looking down the n tunnel Bright Star gets a wary feeling, her tail lifts - then she sees them, two chameleon spiders on the ceiling 20' down the tunnel.
sandor sunneson: There goes the electrcity in Magyarland
Keelia: She raises her bow slowly
Smon: Big, coloured to match the purple black stone of the arched ceiling
Smon: Same as the ones you fought at the stairs up to level 8.
JamesDevil: Can Danor see them if he peaks around?
Keelia: "Chameleon spiders," she murmurs.
JamesDevil: "Danor moves into the tunnel, i'll get them down for you"
Smon: Danor can see them when Star points them out
JamesDevil: Danor begins walking down the tunnel
JamesDevil: Danor stop just short of them and looks straight at them

13/11/48 Sepulture of the Kion - Level 6

Exploring the Sepulchre of the Kion... (by Judith/Tuzhna)

Through the secret door down to L6. The Vrilya describe the Kion as 8' tall lupine creatures with 4 arms. Whole area appears to be covered in distinctive geometric hexagonal motifs.

First room contains several floating glass cylinders. Talaxakan smashes one and reveals a mummified Kion. A few seconds later three floating ceramic eyeball constructs attack.

Continuing, rooms and corridors are large and well made. Inside a ziggurat decorated with abstract serpentine designs we find an undead hydra which is destroyed.

Another room looks like a charging station for the floating eyeball guards. Many of the eyeball docks are empty - have they been destroyed or are they patrolling?

Confusia the Warlock is nearly killed entering a room inhabited by two mummies which are destroyed by Talaxakan and Rhode.

Loot:

8000cp
2000gp
Weird jewellery worth 1410gp
Kionean Pass Key (unlocks/negates barriers - 7 charges) - Confusia

Indestructible metal box - Tuzhna sells for 400gp (after expenses)

555gp each (rather than the ~300gp I'd said yesterday)

Smon: Good morning Jorian
joriandrake: Good morning Simon
joriandrake: My coffee isn't ready yet so i feel groggy but should work out
8:31am  2018-11-10 JamesDevil Has entered the room
JamesDevil: Morning
Smon: Good morning James
joriandrake: Good morning James
Smon: Levels - Danor still Clr-8, is Alvariel still Wiz-5?
JamesDevil: yep, i'm < 1k from 9
Smon: Looks like being a small group today, hope Keelia can make it!
Smon: No Bill today & no Fergus looks like.
joriandrake: Alvariel gained a level midgame last time
Smon: good
joriandrake: Indeed, Fergus and I PMed and he didn't reply since last session so must be very busy
joriandrake: i go check if coffee is done
Smon: GM: Recent events 10/11/48 - lots of rain (well into wet season now); a week since you killed Wheezy and got the flute of resurrection; 11 days since other adventurers & the Vrilya drove the Mountain Trolls from level 5, clearing another route to level 6.
Smon: My coffee brews in about 4 minutes, my high tech solution of kettle, brew pot, strainer & carafe is the superior approach 
Smon: Danor Gordak while visiting the new dwarven shrine on level 1 by the kobold market, you hear rumour from Priestess Heltharn of a powerful wraith king on level 3.
joriandrake: back
JamesDevil: ooo, waith king, nice >:
joriandrake: It's an old coffee machine and on main floow - have to take stairs down
Smon: The shade of Magrathor, the Sterling Potentate, who built Stonehell - Heltharn & her surviving companion Featherblade the Altanian fled from Magrathor after he killed their elven wizardess companion with a single touch, then brought her back as a spectre under his command.
JamesDevil: sounds like we have our target for the game!
joriandrake: Alv helped Danor while not learning the language with Bright Star, might also have visited the market with him
joriandrake: did that wizardress com panion die recently, or as I assume this is ancient history?
Smon: About a month or so ago.
Smon: 23/9/448 - that's a bit over 6 weeks.
Smon: The elven wizardess was called Yllorian of Diancecht.
Smon: Priestess Heltharn warns you both that her Turning was ineffective against Magrathor.
joriandrake: "Well well, Danor. THis seems like an interesting possibillity for an archeological expedition that might also offer us a chance to resurrect Yllorian, unless the undead curse still lingers. Magrathor sounds like a very powerful opponent we would have to face though"
JamesDevil: well, if she has any minions it will hopefully work on them
Smon: But she is sure a mighty Patriarch like Danor can handle it
JamesDevil:
JamesDevil: so, are we waiting on anyone else?
joriandrake: "Hiring some extra guards would still be a good idea" (considering lack of players we need extra fighters, maybe a scout/rogue if Keelia isn't coming)
JamesDevil: true
JamesDevil: anyone particularly useful we can hire before we can enter stonehell Simon?
joriandrake: GM: I think I might have mentioned the flute in last Messaging with Prisha, so perhaps it is a possibility to have Orph come to Selatine and might be able to join us?
joriandrake: (my idea is to request Orph to join us but up to SImon if that is even viable)
joriandrake: (He is the bard I mentioned last session, good with rogue things and music)
Smon: Heltharn can send a guide to the well-hidden location of Magrathor's lair on level 3, it's through the chamber of lenses, past a maze and a teleporter.
JamesDevil: sounds good to me
Smon: Some bugbear mercenaries are available for hire at the Kobold Market.
JamesDevil: do they need to be paid? I have plenty of gold
JamesDevil: lets hire a couple of Bugbear fighters
Smon: They claim to know the level 3 area, they used to work for a wizard who sadly met his end there.
joriandrake: I suggest to hire the bugbears then, and give them some polearms
JamesDevil: good to know
Smon: GM: You can hire 2 bugbears for 30gp each for the day.
JamesDevil: k, marking it off my items
joriandrake: Alvariel will ask more about that deceased wizard, probably Yllorian but not certain
joriandrake: (possible spell book as loot nearby?)
Smon: The bugbears (Brully & Lou) are equipped with shield & morningstar.
Smon: "Wuz male ooman. He wanted the Hexperiment. Got in fight with other oomanz, dead now."
Smon: GM: OK will assume no Keelia
joriandrake: HM, that works well for front guards, they still have a good reach even with short melee weapons "Wonderful, I mean dreadful!" Alvariel remarks about the wizard's info "If you know where he was defeated or where you had camp location before, in case his research notes and belongings are still there we can check that out before venturing forth"
JamesDevil: i messaged her but got no response, haven't heard from her for a few days
joriandrake: Keelia might be confused due to time zone changes in europe
Smon: She played last week after the change
joriandrake: if so, I don't know if AUstralia has such changes, she might come a hour later
joriandrake: That's true
joriandrake: ok, so we need that extra guide too then
joriandrake: during off-time ALvariel swapped spells prepared a bit
JamesDevil: same for Danor
joriandrake: I now have Dispell Magic and Warding Wind prepared
Smon: GM: The bugbear explains the wizard's stuff was destoyed or looted. The dwarf minion leads you to the stairs from level 1 Quiet Halls down to the level 2 temple of Yig, former lizardman domain, and from there to the elevator down to level 3. From there he leads you east to a great hall with many 4' wide lenses arrayed in rows, east into a mazy labyrinth of smooth stone walls, avoiding various glyphs, to a teleporter glyph. He explains that stepping onto the glyph will take you to Magrathor's lair.
Smon: Dwarf: "Mistress Heltharn told me to wait here for your return. Good luck."
JamesDevil: "ok, all ready?"
JamesDevil: "I understand laad"
Smon: The bugbears heft their morningstars, looking uneasy.
JamesDevil: lad*
Smon: The dwarf nods respectfully to Danor, tugging his beard.
JamesDevil: Danor casts Bless on the group
JamesDevil: "lets go"
Smon: level 2 slot?
joriandrake: Alvariel sadly notes the loss of the wizard's belongings, so much knowledge lost once again. "Good dwarf, do you really not intend to come and experience the great dungeon for yourself? I heard ith as great importance to dwarvenkind and might result in some swarven hidden doors or items be found by you"
joriandrake: Mage Armor casting for my wizard
Smon: "Mistress Heltharn said no." He eyes Alvariel. "Or Magrathor will turn me into another Spectre, she said."
JamesDevil: "not when we'ere done with her
joriandrake: "It is your choice, but of course if we perish you might have to wait here for eternity... or just come with us and see for yourself how things go" Alvariel tries to persuade the dwarf to come with them "At least, you might stay in the back row and use a crossbow if a battle occurs"
Smon: "No."
joriandrake: "Oh well" He concedes
Smon: The dwarf looks to Danor for support. "The Wraith King will kill me and bring me back to fight you, she said."
Smon: "Hope those bugbears of yours don't meet the same fate."
JamesDevil: "its fine lad, obey your Mistress"
JamesDevil: *fyi i did cast bless at lv 2
joriandrake: Alvariel woN't press the matter, he is not that sociable as a certain someone else anyway
Smon: GM: Herding the bugbears along you step onto the teleporter glyph?
JamesDevil: yep
joriandrake: They step on it first then we do too
Smon: The bugbears somewhat reluctantly step onto the glyph; there is a flash of light and they vanish.
JamesDevil: "here we go"
joriandrake: "Well, off we go" (Alvariel has currently AC 14, Shield spell can improve this to 19, but until now I don't think I ever had the luck of a Shield casting being enough to avoid blows)
JamesDevil: Danor steps on
Smon: Danor & Alvariel follow the bugbears...
joriandrake: Alvariel mentally prepares to flee right away if the bugbears are dead on the other side
Smon: You find yourselves on a raised circular platform (10' wide & 1‘ high) covered with a mosaic of mystical formulae in the center of a room 30x30, heavy double doors in the north wall. The bugbears are just stepping off the platform.
JamesDevil: Danor steps off towards the doors
joriandrake: Alvariel inspects the room and the mosaic
JamesDevil: Keelia is not feeling well
Smon: Alvariel ascertains that the mosaic is a two-way teleporter; step off then on & it should teleport you back where you came from.
JamesDevil: "Alvariel mind checking the doors for traps?"
Smon: The ancient double doors are of dark oak bound with iron, almost no dust. The air here is dry. Almost no dust on the floor.
JamesDevil: Danor casts detect good and evil
joriandrake: The wizard looks at the doors, from afar as he isn't a rogue
JamesDevil: ah, nvm, its a con spell
JamesDevil: you've got the highest investigation .)
joriandrake: "the doors seem fine to me"
joriandrake: (true, if required I can roll on that)
JamesDevil: Danor will step forward to the doors, waves the bugbears over then opens the door
Smon: The doors have regular handles, no lock. They open away from you.
joriandrake: "The place gets either cleaned, or is often used"
Smon: The doors swing open, revealing a 20' long passage with a matching set of double doors at the far (n) end.
Smon: Danor you can roll your INT +x2 prof Stonecunning
JamesDevil: Danor will proceed caautiously down the corridor to the next set of doors
joriandrake: (good luck)
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 1, (+8) = 9
Smon: The second set of doors look to open towards you.
joriandrake: =(
JamesDevil: -.-
Smon: 9 is a fail
Smon: Been about 30 seconds since casting of Bless
joriandrake: "Hm, maybe let one of the bugbears open the doors ahead of us so the rest of us can react better to ambushes"
JamesDevil rolls 1d4 and gets: 1,
JamesDevil:
JamesDevil: my luck today
joriandrake: Who did you just attack?
Smon: (Bless doesn't affect ability checks BTW)
JamesDevil: gah
joriandrake: (yep that is guidance)
JamesDevil: Danor will proceed
Smon: Danor opens the north doors?
JamesDevil: yep
joriandrake: Alvarial proceeds to go after them, and also attempt to hide between/behind them on the way
joriandrake: (not as great at hiding as Bright Star, nor as advantageous, but still worth a try)
joriandrake: -connection test-
Smon: GM: Danor pulls open the north doors to an amazing sight! A well lit throne room about 30' deep. Audience Hall: Rune-carved pillars; raised dais opposite; a throne of wood & bone stands on the dais with 10' alcoves behind it to either side, a door at the back of each alcove. Human courtiers in archaic Nerathi noble guard are standing and talking in the space before the throne, while numerous platemail-clad men-at-arms stand guard around the walls.
Smon: None of them pay any attention to your appearance.
joriandrake: "Oh boy, an undead throne room"
JamesDevil: do they look undead?
Smon: As well as the two doors behind the raised dais you see a side door at the east wall of the throneroom, which is about 50' e-w.
joriandrake: Alvariel very worried these might 'activate' just like the golems in that other room
Smon: They look like regular Alryan-Nerathi humans, though their garb is 3 centuries out of fashion.
JamesDevil: hmm
Smon: Although the courtiers appear to be talking, you cannot make out any distinct words.
joriandrake: "Perhaps spirits, or just visual echoes"
joriandrake: "I'm more worried about the armoured guards at the walls"
JamesDevil: I drop Bless and cast detect good and evil
joriandrake: Alvariel considers their possible actions "Well, we still have to go inside if we want to proceed so let us just step inside and see if your Bless can be useful"
Smon: GM: Danor senses powerful Evil emanating from the eastern door.
Smon: Feels like Undead.
JamesDevil: powerful to the evil to the east
JamesDevil: UNDEAD evil
joriandrake: "...that means we should check that door as the last one?"
JamesDevil: lets try to be diplomatic with these lot
Smon: You stand and talk at the entrance, the bugbears shifting uneasily behind you. The courtiers & guards are still ignoring you.
Smon: You can roll Investigation.
joriandrake: "After you" Alvariel says "We might be able to avoid combat if acting like fitting in the throne room's aristocracy, but not certain of it"
joriandrake rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 12, (+7) = 19
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 1, (+4) = 5
joriandrake: (Oh boy)
Smon: Alvariel realises that after a minute or so they are repeating the same actions.
joriandrake: "Hm... echoes, or spirits captured into a loop"
JamesDevil: Danor will step into the room
JamesDevil: "ghost do not frighten me"
joriandrake: "They woN't react to anything we do, but I'm still uncertain about the armoured ones at the walls, who might get triggered into attack if we go closer"
Smon: Danor steps in, the bugbears pad in silently after him.
JamesDevil: Danor will move closer to one of the armoured ones
joriandrake: Alvariel tiptoes inside too
Smon: The inhabitants continue to ignore you.
joriandrake: "Well, we missed the opportunity to sit into a throne at the golems, but if you wish, we can try that here instead" Alvariel looks around trying to figure out how and why the images of the people here appear
JamesDevil: ".....lets not"
joriandrake: "As you wish"
JamesDevil: right, so, two doors right? lets head to the west one first
joriandrake: "To the one that didn't radiate evil"
Smon: The throne has a nice comfy purple cushion.  A couple steps on each side of the dais allow easy access.
Smon: 3 doors
JamesDevil: ah, well either way we start with the west door
Smon: 2 behind dais on n wall in alcoves to at w and e of the throne. 1 door at ground level in e wall - emanating evil.
joriandrake: "Hm"... "We might just as well try the throne, we are now here, if any attacks occur when we sit on it at least we clear out the room before we moved on"
joriandrake: Alvariel fancies the purple cushions
joriandrake: he is, after all, still wearing black and purple clothes too
JamesDevil: Danor will open the one to the w behind the dias dais
Smon: It's a nice fat silk covered cushion, fit for a king's posterior.
joriandrake: Alvariel takes a mental note of grabbing at lest the cushions before leaving to Selatine, then goes after Danor
Smon: Danor steps up onto the dais, moves west past the throne and tries the w door - it's locked.
JamesDevil: Danor will try to kick the door in
Smon: OK Danor roll Athletics.
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 20, (+4) = 24
joriandrake: "Hm..."
JamesDevil:
joriandrake: lol
joriandrake: 1-1-20 or such
Smon: There is a flash of light; Danor bounces off the magical ward (Arcane Lock) and 8 glowing darts of light shoot from the door into him!
Smon: /roll 8d4+8
Smon rolls 8d4+8 and gets: 1, 3, 1, 4, 4, 3, 1, 2, (+8) = 27
JamesDevil: ffs#
joriandrake: "Oh my!"
Smon: Danor takes 27 force damage from the magic missiles.
joriandrake: If he is stil lstanding, then Alvariel casts Dispel Magic on the door
JamesDevil: still standing]
Smon: The door glimmers as Alvariel hits it with a Dispel Magic.
Smon: A crack appears in the door where Danor kicked it.
joriandrake rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 15, (+4) = 19
JamesDevil: Danor will get up and break what left of the door open
joriandrake: this was the spellcasting ability roll for Dispel Magic
joriandrake: ("The DC is 10 + the spell's level. On a success, the spell ends.")
Smon: Danor kicks the door again - no light or magic missiles this time - a few more blows and the door bursts open, the mundane lock shattered.
Smon: (You auto dispelled the wards J)
joriandrake: "Well, congrats on finding that trap Danor" (great)
JamesDevil: -.-
JamesDevil: right, we investigate the room
joriandrake: "Hm, perhaps we should be more careful, I could cast Detect Magic ritually and concentrate on that from now on as I don't have any concentration spell active currently"
Smon: You see a lit chamber, 30x30, clearly a very well stocked arcane laboratory. You are at the e end of the s wall (another door is at the w end of s wall). Spell research materials & tools are piled on workbenches.
joriandrake: Alvariel offers before they inspect the room closer
JamesDevil: "I think this is your kind of place Alvariel"
joriandrake: Actually yes, the wizard begins the ritual, bneing in a researcher's room makes it more logical to cast Detect Magic anyway
joriandrake: "Indeed, let me do the ritual then we inspect the place closely"
Smon: Must be over 2,000 gp worth of reagants & other research materials here, about 100 lb in weight.
joriandrake: After the ritual Alvariel checks for active magic to avoid more traps or find magical items, the asks Danor if the bugbears could pack up the whole 100lb materials to bring with them "They are big, strong guys, I think they can easily handle it"
Smon: If you wanted to craft Uncommon or Rare items this laboratory looks very useful.
JamesDevil: feel free to take it all, its not my kind of stuff unless any of them are devine
joriandrake: Alvariel considers to move the laboratory to a safer location instead, but rememmbers the option of just keeping one here if it can be permanently cleared out
Smon: Alvariel senses magic from the western door, which is of mahogany.
joriandrake: Similar effect as an arcane lock or such?
JamesDevil: Mahogoany magic? ah!
joriandrake: "The western door is also magical"
JamesDevil: "mind dispelling it?"
Smon: GM: The bugbears produce their leather sacks and start sweeping the materials into them, you hear the sound of smashing glass from the more delicate vials.
JamesDevil: lol
joriandrake: "well..." Alvarien cringes
joriandrake: "Wait a minute" he rushes in and packs away the more delicate, less weighting items himself
joriandrake: (to minimize losses)
joriandrake: After that the wizard does as asked and dispells the other door too
JamesDevil: brb
Smon: Alvariel senses Enchantment magic from beyond the west door.
Smon: /roll d6x50
Smon Rolls 1d6x10 and gets:
5 = 5
5 = 5
1 = 1
3 = 3
2 = 2
6 = 6
4 = 4
4 = 4
2 = 2
4 = 4
Smon: GM: Alvariel salvages 2250gp of research materials.
joriandrake: yay
Smon: Alvariel casts Dispel on the west door - no reaction.
joriandrake: "I think this will be very useful, I could set up a lab temporarily at the library until the construction of the Meroya temple isn't finished"
Smon: It has a handle & keyhole.
JamesDevil: back
JamesDevil: Danor opens the west door
joriandrake: (Will wait for james now) "Well, I did cast Dispel on it, which 'should' solve any magical trap problems, but this also means we need to take a short rest before trying the last, 'evil' door so I can cast at least a fireball or such during the future battle"
joriandrake: He points out "I can after short rest cast in combat a fireball or one more Dispel Magic, but then I am out of my most powerful spells"
JamesDevil: ok
Smon: Danor opens the west door on the south wall of the lab. It opens into a dimly lit chamber with black floor tiling, the walls lined with shelves holding hundreds of grimoires. The library is 30x30 with the SE wall canted SW to NE, matching the NW wall of the throneroom west of the dais - it must be adjacent.
JamesDevil: we'll check the next door with a rit cast detect magic, that will help
Smon: Alvariel is still running Det Magic?
joriandrake: The wizard warns Danor of the enchantment he senses
joriandrake: and yes, stil lactive if 10 or less minutes since casting
Smon: There are no other exits visible from the black library. Alvariel senses powerful Enchantment from throughout the library.
JamesDevil: ok, these books arn't going anywhere, take a quick look then lets go back to dais room
joriandrake: "the whole library is engulfed in Enchantment scool aura" he says "So either these are all spell books or possibly the books might even attack us"
joriandrake: school*
joriandrake: "then again, maybe they are just protected against fire damage or such"
Smon: Roll Investigation or Arcana J
joriandrake: Guard me "Alvariel says to a bugbear as he carefully stewps closer to the nearest books
joriandrake rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 17, (+10) = 27
Smon: A bugbear (Lou, a large tawny female) pads after Alvariel.
joriandrake: Arcana 27
Smon: Al. reckons that protection vs fire would register as Abjuration not Enchantment.
joriandrake: ok "Well, not protection against fire, hm, that would be Abjuration, so we need to be careful" at the same time he is really interested in the books, so he picks one up as a test
joriandrake: He inspects the book
Smon: Al reaches the nearest books. They are bound in black leather - some looks scaly, others could be human skin. The words on the spines seem almost to shift and flow to his gaze.
Smon: What languages does A have?
joriandrake: Alryan (Nerathi), Orichalan (Moonraker), Common, Elven (Alvar), Draconic - and in procerss of learning another with Bright Star, I believe it was Abyssal?
Smon: With his limited knowledge of Abyssal script Alvariel can make out some of the words - "Al Azif" - "Necronomicon" "De Vermiis Mysteriis"
joriandrake: "oh, I think this is what one would call 'jackpot' -he remarks, and places the book back
joriandrake: "We can come back for these later, they are worth a small fortune I believe, but the language most are written in I didn't fullyl earn yet, so it can wait"
JamesDevil: fair enough
joriandrake: He nods as he places the book back and goes to Danor
JamesDevil: Danor heads back to the dais room
Smon: GM: Back in the dais room the courtiers are repeating their endless loop.
JamesDevil: we sit have two more doors? one north and one east right?
joriandrake: "Not certain if once we defeat - if we defeat - the undead ruler we can return here again, so we can pick the books or at least some of them up before we go to Selatine. For now let us choose another door, or maybe rest now?" (if we do the short rest now i regain a 3rd level spell and you can spend HD to heal)
JamesDevil: Danor rit cast detect magic
joriandrake: I might still have my detect magic active
Smon: There is one door on n wall e of throne, one on lower level on e wall.
JamesDevil: any magic from any of the remaining doors?
Smon: /roll d2
Smon rolls 1d2 and gets: 1
Smon: You have a minute or so left of det magic Alvariel.
joriandrake: OK then I stop Danor from casting the spell atm
joriandrake: Alv looks around to see if anything in the throne room is magical, as we didn't check it yet
Smon: Alvariel detects magic through the n door
joriandrake: "Northern door..." then tells which magic school he notes
Smon: The courtiers and guards radiate Illusion magic
JamesDevil: through the door but not the door itself?
Smon: yup
joriandrake: "This room is not magical by the way, which means the people in a loop are not something like an illusion spell effect"
JamesDevil: good to know
joriandrake: heck i jsut type too slow
joriandrake: (ignore last sentence)
JamesDevil: i nod to the bugbears to assist me it breaking the northen door
joriandrake: "try opening it first with the handle"
Smon: You can't read aura of magic beyond the n door
joriandrake: ok
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 15, (+4) = 19
Smon: The unlocked door bursts open as Danor slams into it & he goes flying through.
joriandrake: might not even need the bugbear assistance to bash it in
joriandrake: (lool)
Smon: Into a huge and opulent royal bedchamber, 30x30, the door at w end of s wall.
JamesDevil: hmm
joriandrake: Alvariel looks to find purple bed sheets, blankets, etc
Smon: The great four poster bed is at the n wall, a massive mahogany cabinet at e wall
Smon: The bed has purple covers with white silk sheets.
joriandrake: Alvariel quickly checks the room before his Detect Magic ends
JamesDevil: Danor will investigate the room
Smon: There are ancient purple drapes, the chamber reeks of opulence
Smon: metaphorically
Smon: The cabinet radiates powerful Transmutation magic
joriandrake: (investigate rolls too, if required in collaboration with detect magic effect)
Smon: Your det magic ends now A
joriandrake: "Transmutation magic -everywhere"
joriandrake: "...and detect magic has just worn off for me"
JamesDevil: Danor heads to the cabinet
joriandrake: "The cabinet has the strongest transmutation magic"
joriandrake: "be careful with that one, you might end up turned itno a chicken"
JamesDevil: hmm
Smon: The cabinet has a sturdy door with lock & handle
Smon: It is about 6' high.
joriandrake: Alvariel, if certain that the bed is safe from his detection earlier - will sit on it and feel overjoyed of the rich find of purpleness
Smon: Alvariel sits on the lush royal bed.
joriandrake: "so comfy, very purple, much relax"
JamesDevil: Danor will cast heat metal on the lock
Smon: The purple covers are embroidered with the gold dragon sigil of Old Nerath.
Smon: The lock starts to glow red.
joriandrake: "oh, I planned to bring these with me but now I am sure to do it" He begins to carefully fold and pack away the covers and cushions and such "I love them, but they might also be worth more to people like the Bronzes of Hara"
Smon: Does Alvariel have bags of holding?
JamesDevil: ok, Danor cast cure wound and healing word on himself
JamesDevil rolls 1d8+5 and gets: 8, (+5) = 13
joriandrake: um... nope, but I can ask the bugbears to act as pack mules (they can carry a lot) and ask Danor for his assistance too, I think he has a bag
JamesDevil rolls 1d4+5 and gets: 1, (+5) = 6
Smon: If the bugbears are carrying the 100 lb weight of research materials their bags are in use already
joriandrake: This time Alv makes sure he is the one to pack stuff away tho
joriandrake: ok
joriandrake: In that case Alv takes one cushion and two covers only, we might be able to carry the rest later anyway
JamesDevil: I'll hold them for you till we get back to town
Smon: They can pack a couple cushions and the bed's main cover & a sheet
joriandrake: "Thank you!"
Smon: Using Danor's bag of holding you finish stripping the bed.
joriandrake: Alv also goes back for the two cushions in the throne room as those weren't magical
JamesDevil: "was the magic IN the cabinet or the door of the cabinet itself?
Smon: one cushion on throne
joriandrake: "Others might find my choice of loot weird, but comfy loot is good loot"
Smon: The cabinet radiated transmutation magic, could not tell if more magic inside
joriandrake: Alvariel tells Danor he remembers as if the cabinet was magical
joriandrake: "I believe I couldn't have tell of the school magic type of Transmutation if it wasn't the cabinet itself, but something on the inside"
JamesDevil: Danor step back behind the bed, peeks over then uses his light crossbow to shoot he lock on the cabinet
Smon: OK roll to hit AC 20 w advtg
joriandrake: "...remember that Transmutation could mean various things, like the cabinet being a cursed human who got transformed"
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 17, (+3) = 20
JamesDevil:
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 6, (+3) = 9
Smon: The shot hits the red hot lock and you hear a crack
Smon: For a momnent purple light shimmers around the cabinet.
JamesDevil: "hey Alvariel can you mage hand the lock off?"
JamesDevil: it should be cracked now
Smon: The lock is broken, he could try to mage hand door open
joriandrake: No mage hand, have mainly attack cantrips for Stonehell :/
Smon: OK the cabinet is still closed.
joriandrake: except shape water
JamesDevil: sigh
joriandrake: oooh i got an idea
joriandrake: I am meant to be/become a water elementalist anyway
JamesDevil: I use fabricate to make a set of 10 foot long piching shears
joriandrake: I cast shape water on my water
joriandrake: Shape water can have 2 effects active at given time and works for a hour without concentration, i just make the shape water spell flow the water up to the cabinet
joriandrake: turn into a hand and open it
JamesDevil: give it a try then
joriandrake: https://dnd5e.fandom.com/wiki/Shape_Water
joriandrake: I can animate it so maybe that effect alone is enough for this
joriandrake: if a hand is too difficult a shape "meaning: not simple enough) then just form a hook and open it as such
Smon: You only have about a pint of water in your waterskin so this is not going to work. You can't make it levitate.
joriandrake: or pincer
joriandrake: I didn't want it to levitate, I thought of it being on the floor and become elongated to reach it
joriandrake: but oh well, I ask the others if they want to help with more water
Smon: You make a kind of spindle of water up from the floor but it has no force, it can't open anything
JamesDevil: Danor will cast fabricate to make a set of 10 foot long pinching shears
Smon: OK Danor can take an hour & 100gp to make a sort of mancatcher - cabinet catcher?
JamesDevil: thats the plan
joriandrake: hm, Alvariel makes the water gather at the lever and use the freeze effect to turn the water into an ice that wieghts the lever down to open the cabinet (?)
joriandrake: lever/handle
JamesDevil: I'm handling it Jorian
JamesDevil: pun not intended
Smon: Alvariel coats the door handle in ice. An hour later Danor has the device fabricated.
joriandrake: well, I already have the spell active so at least I can try it
joriandrake: =(
Smon: With some effort Danor manages to get the handle in the prongs of his device and tugs it open.
joriandrake: ok, note to self. next cantrip to pick is mage hand
JamesDevil: what do we see with in it?
Smon: Inside on the shelves you see pouches of money, a large ornate key, an ebony dagger, a potion vial, a scroll tube, and a scabbarded longsword with gold-threaded hilt.
Smon: Suddenly you hear words in your head! "Hi there! I'm Slider the Magic Sword!"
JamesDevil: oh gods
joriandrake: "ooh. nice" He looks at them "I think we should rest in the bedroom here, I can cast before that detect magic to see if these are magical, I assume the key is to that door earlier"
Smon: "I can detect moving walls and rooms at ten foot range! You only have to ask!" it says, cheerily.
JamesDevil: Hello Slider, whats is so magical about you? other than the fact that you can speak?
Smon: "Between you and me, many secret doors count as moving walls, too!"
joriandrake: (do I hear it too or only Danor?)
Smon: both of you hear it
joriandrake: "oh, nice... doy oudetect those moving rooms or walls, or do you make them move yourself?" Alvariel is a bit worried the sword might be the cause and as such very tricky
Smon: "My dagger friend there isn't smart like me, but he can Banish any extra-planar conjured foes you may be having trouble with!"
JamesDevil: Danor will empty the cabinet items onto the bed so we can cast detect magic on all of them a identify them as well
Smon: "I only detect them!"
joriandrake: "good"
Smon: How long for all the identify spells?
Smon: Detect Magic indicates all the items (not the money pouches) are magical.
JamesDevil: rit casts, so, 10 mins for each
JamesDevil: we both have identfy
joriandrake: indeed
joriandrake: We can split the time by casting Identify both
joriandrake: "Then we should rest up"
Smon: ok 10 minutes ritual cast det magic, 4 Identifies so 30 minutes total
JamesDevil: sword, dagger, potion, scroll and key
JamesDevil: yep
JamesDevil: i think i'll hang onto the sword
JamesDevil: for now at least
joriandrake: 2 each no? 20 minutes? or do I calculate it wrong,
joriandrake: "Perhaps let the bugbears wield them for now?"
Smon: The Dagger of Banishment - +1 dagger, 1/day can Banish (CHA save DC 15) a conjured creature it strikes.
joriandrake: "both of us need to focus on spells"
JamesDevil: I'll hang onto the dagger for BS
JamesDevil: nah, they'll be fine as they are
joriandrake: (She can have it, bnut I meant for now, this session)
joriandrake: but*
Smon: Slider the sapient longsword - +1 longsword, intelligent, detects moving walls & rooms 10' range
Smon: Potion of gaseous form
joriandrake: Before or after we rest we will walk around the already explored rooms with Slider and ask him to see if we missed any moving walls/rooms
Smon: Scroll of Invisibility + Phantasmal Force
joriandrake: niiice
Smon: Slider says no
JamesDevil: short rest here i think
joriandrake: I take the scrolls and potion then, Alv thanks SLider politely
Smon: The key is faintly magical but does not ID as anything in particular.
Smon: In the money pouches are 10,000 sp and 400 gp.
joriandrake: Will check its shape, might be the key to the door I cast dispel on the second time
Smon: It's too big for the library door
joriandrake: "Hm, well we might find the fitting keyhole later"
Smon: The key prongs resemble the letters "RD"
joriandrake: Alvariel plans to repay the money he wwas given until now with the loot they find now and possible sale of some of the covers and such
JamesDevil: i'll equip Slider
joriandrake: "RD? Residence Dorms?" Alv tries to think of anything more probable using his knowledge of history
Smon: Slider: "Repulsive Doors! It opens the doors to the Plated Mage's Hexperiment. He was living here awhile."
Smon: "But he left." Slider sounds sad.
joriandrake: "oh my, Thank you Slider. You're a very helpful magic sword. Also, you seem to know this place well."
Smon: "He didn't think I was useful enough to take with him, I guess."
Smon: "Yes!" Slider says cheerily. "Watch out for the Wraith tough!"
JamesDevil: right, splitting the money 200 gp and 5000 silver, we can convret it to gold later
joriandrake: "We could use your aid, do yo uthink you can act as our tour guide here?"
Smon: "I heard a lot of screaming from the throne room a few weeks back. Looks like he can come out of his lair now."
Smon: "Well, I'll do my best!"
joriandrake: (ok James, let'ss ee what we find before end of session so splitting can wait)
joriandrake: "Tell us more of the wraith and his lair"
JamesDevil: ok, only one door for the wraith now? or two?
joriandrake: "What is it exactly, and is there a way to dismiss it or easily defeat it?"
JamesDevil: i have banish :/
Smon: "The Mage says he's the Shade of Magrathor, bound here for All Eternity for his crimes!"
joriandrake: (I think we still have one moreu neyplored non-evil door)
Smon: Only door left is the Door of Evil.
joriandrake: "Ah yes, he is the one we heard of. Hm."
joriandrake: "Do you think your fellow dagger could make him disappear? Banish?"
Smon: "Mr Marek - the Mage - wouldn't let his people go in there. But I heard it's like a room with lots of tapestries. I'd avoid it if I were you."
Smon: "No."
JamesDevil: ok
Smon: (The Banish dagger dispels summoned creatures, not undead)
JamesDevil: lets go do this
joriandrake: "well, I think we might have to face the shade, but I am all up for just returning home with the finds we already gained" (was not certain how this shade came into being or this place)
JamesDevil: nope, we take this damn thing down, my god would want it
joriandrake: Alv reminds Danor of the short rest
JamesDevil: we'll take a quicvk short rest
Smon: GM: You take a short rest & then head back into the throne room & open the east door?
JamesDevil: obv
joriandrake: "we can rest now and then face the thing"
JamesDevil: thats the plan
joriandrake: yes, class ability for wizard used to regain a 3rd level spell slot
joriandrake: Mage Armor works for 8 hours, should still have 4 or 5 hours left after rest for it, will cast ritual of Detect Magic too before going inside as preparation to face whatever we find
joriandrake: Danor might be better served with Bless or such if he wants to cast a conc spell too
Smon: You head back into the throne room & open the unlocked east door into a 30x30 reception chamber, the n part of w wall canted nw-se matching the ne wall of throneroom. The air here is bone chillingly cold, and dust lies heavy on the furnishings. Around the walls tapestries depict a tale of civil war - Good King Magrathor betrayed by his vicious and treacherous nephew Prince Elidyr.
JamesDevil: Danor will use one hit die
JamesDevil rolls 1d8 and gets: 3,
joriandrake: "Well, wish us luck Slider. This might get nasty"
Smon: "Good luck!"
Smon: The bugbears look nervous, hefting their morningstars.
joriandrake: Alvariel is careful to positionhimself behind Danor and bugbears
JamesDevil: Danor steps into the middle of the room
Smon: Alvariel lurks behind hairy bugbear hide; he can't see much.
Smon: Danor steps in, surveying the scene.
joriandrake: "The undead might be hard to damage if your morningstars aren't magical, but if you can keep the undea away from us clerical and wizard spells should take care of them"
Smon: Danor roll History (DC 10)
joriandrake: Alv also checks for magical stuff once inside
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 20, (+7) = 27
joriandrake: wow
joriandrake: you really balanced out htose 2 1 rolls
Smon: The bugbears follow in behind Danor, Alvariel lurking behind them.
Smon: According to history, Prince Elidyr led a rebellion against the evil Magrathor, the Sterling Potentate who had murdered his father, defeated him in battle and brought in the last golden age of Old Nerath before the Gnoll Times.
Smon: The telling here appears to be a moral inversion. The last tapestry shows heroic King Magrathor and his remaining loyal knights riding out for final battle against evil Elidyr's horde of demons, undead and traitorous nobles.
Smon: Besides Magrathor rides a beautiful elven princess in azure gown, flowers in her hair.
JamesDevil: Hmm, this is old, talks about King Magrathor and the betrayal
Smon: Below her is written 'Yllorian"
JamesDevil: "a beautiful princess rides next to him with the name Yllorian
Smon: brb phone
joriandrake: "History is often written, rewritten by the victors. This might be the actual truth, but fact remains Magathor is now an undead and most likely automatically an evil one"
joriandrake: "ok... I take that back"
JamesDevil: "
joriandrake: Alvariel inspects the image "Yllorian was not living in that time, this isn't normal"
JamesDevil: "not always A"
Smon: Phishing call :\
JamesDevil: :/
Smon: "Hello this is Richard calling from Microsoft in regards to your computer" in really weird accent.
JamesDevil: lol
joriandrake: "As we know Yllorian didn't die until recently, so it is unlikely this is true, unless there was a similar named princess back then." Alvariel wonders "It might be that the shade adds every fallen opponent to his story on the tapestry as someone who was an ally of Magrathor"
joriandrake: "...so, if we die here Danor and Alvariel and two bugbears could also appear on the tapestry as heroic allies and friends of Magrathor after our defeat"
JamesDevil: Danor casts Thaumaturgy and yells out "Yllorian"
Smon: >>Alvariel inspects the image "Yllorian was not living in that time, this isn't normal..."<<

As Alvariel is talking, the image of Ylorrian turns in the tapestry, eyeing him - Alvariel roll a DC 15 WIS save please
