Tomb of Horrors (3.5) IC

[Deca]

The hill was a lone and foreboding intrusion upon the desert upon which it was placed. Somewhere underneath it lay a labyrinthine crypt filled with terrible traps and not a few strong and ferocious monsters to slay the unwary.
Rich treasures both precious and magical fill the crypt but in addition to the aforementioned traps and guardians, some say that the demilich Acererak still protects his ancient treasure troves. Although the time Acererak last strode amongst the living was long ago, tales are still told of his formiddable magical power that made him nearly undefeatable.

The precise location of Acererak's tomb had been lost of history, until now. A recent archaological discovery had pinpointed the tomb to be underneath this lonely desert hill.
The Newport Archaological Society scrounged together whatever money it had to pay a group of adventurers to enter the tomb and find their way to the great treasure hoard said to be located in Acererak's final resting place.
[/backstory]

The party has arrived at the site. It is a low flat-topped hill about 200 yards wide and 300 yards long. Ugly desert weeds and thorns grow upon the steep sides and bald top of the 60-foot high mound. The hilltop is crowned by a curious assortment of large black rocks.

The north side of the hill is fronted by a sudden 20 foot cliff of sand and gravel. A low clearly man-made stone ledge overhangs this eroded area but shrubs and bushes obscure it from observation at a distance.

Roll a Search Check

[Duskranger]

'Well, my fellow traveler, how shall we enter this tomb. I was sended by the god Pelor to see if there's anything fowl's inside. So that if there is something I can destroy it with Pelors Divine light." Travan Mog says to the guy that looks suspciously at the entrance.
'Anyhow, shall we find a way in. Outside of the tomb the area is already searched I think.'

[roll0]

Travan parts his way through the bushes and desert scrubs covering the flat side of the hill. The stonework remnants tell him the entrance must have been located in this part of the hill. Despite this, Travan finds nothing telling him where the entrance is.

[Good Steve]

Higgins quickly follows the one known as Traven to the apprent entrance site. "Watch yer footin', fella. Could be unstable ground ye be trompin' on or worse yet traps set ta snare any careless passersby! Lemme take a look." Higgins then proceeds to pull his thick goggles dwon from where they rest upon his head and over his eyes and begins a thurough search of the area.




*Take 20 on search check for a grand total of 40*

[Deca]

Higgins' expert eye and deduction eventually reveal not one but two entrances buried under the sand. After brushing away the sand, the archways are revealed but the doorways are blocked by a thick sand drift.

After a bit more poking around, he comes to the conclusion that while fully clearing out a doorway would take four people and an hour and a half's work, a smaller crawlspace tunnel could be dug through it by two people in about fifteen minutes.

[bue52]

Evan begins to dig the sand of the entrance that would take a longer time to uncover. If either one of the entrance was a trap, then it would most likely be the one that was easier to enter.

[Deca]

Evan starts digging into the left entrance. It is hard work and he'll need a helper if he intends to even clear out a crawl-tunnel.

[Duskranger]

'It's a long time ago that I excelled in the more heavy activities, but oke, I will help you. Maybe it's a good training for someone trained in the arts of the arcane and divine"

[Deca]

Working together, Travan and Evan quickly clear out a small tunnel through the blockage of the left entrance. While it is big enough for Higgins and Timble to walk through, the other party members will have to crawl through it.

Bard sits in the back, observing, and singing a tune.

Rising up
Back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I`m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive....
So many times, it happens to fast
You change your passion for glory
Don`t lose your grip on the dreams of the past, you must fight just to keep them alive!!

It`s the
Eye of the tiger
It`s the thrill of the fight
Rising up
To the chalenge of Our rival
And the the last know survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he`s watching us all with the eye
Of the tiger!

Do bam

[Duskranger]

'Well, silently sneaking can be forgotten with that kind of sound. On the other hand, we give everything that is inside a fair chance at surrender. And we enjoy a little bit of music.' Travan says while looking at the bard.'Who here is the best in the searching of traps. I do not condemn you, every person can have forgiveness in the eyes of Pelor, but checking everything on traps will be one of our firrst priorities when we're inside.'

[Dragero]

Bard looks up, Who ever said anything was inside?
He then returns to.....watching.

[Duskranger]

'No one, my dear musician, but if the stories they tell are true, the stories that you probably will know, than we maybe will get more than they bargained for. It's a place of evil, of danger. So we must en we shall try to thread carefully. Better safe than sorry, or do you disagree.'Travan Mog dust of his hands and smiles at the sun. 'May Pelor be with us, with or without tenants inside of the crypt.'

[bue52]

"Actually, I think I can find most of the traps, if our dear bard would be kind enough to sing a little tune, I'd really like it, whistle while you work is definitely has a part in my work philosophy." Evan says with a cheerful tone, the bard definitely has a thing with lifting his spirits.

Search-[roll0]

[Lin Bayaseda]

Hi everyone! Timble arrives to the party late, but that doesn't stop him hopping from excitement. Thanks, guys, for that tunnel! Timble darts in, running a basic search pattern
Search [roll0] Assuming he doesn't die horribly ...
He then pokes his head back out ... Hey guys, it's safe! Let's go!

[Dragero]

Hmmm I hadn't thought about the old tales of this place...lets see if I can think of anything helpfull.....

[roll0]

Hmm pretty good

[Deca]

@Bue52: Evan looks through the tunnel into the darkness beyond. He determines that the tunnel is safe and there does not appear to be anything suspicious on the other side of the tunnel.

@Lin: Timble runs through the tunnel easily before stopping to look and search more cautiously. He has emerged at the start of a dark corridor. It is made of brick and stone. The stone is roughly worked and ugly. At the far end of the corridor, he is just able to make out that the corridor ends in a brick wall with two closed oaken doors set into it.
He searches for any traps down his end of the corridor and find nothing.

@Drager0: Bard concentrates on if he had ever heard anything about the tomb before. He remembers an old legend that those who had displeased Acererak had no afterlife to look forward to. Those who dared to face him were doomed to have their souls be imprisoned forever in eternal torment.
It wasn't very comforting.

[Nodwick22]

Timoleon gets on his hands and knees to enter grumbling the whole time"couldnt have made it taller at least

take 20 on search for a total of 27

[Duskranger]

'Is everything safe there. Can we enter the building? Or is it trapped.'Travan looks at the rest before looking into the little hole they dug.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Looks good so far - there's a corridor ending at two doors. Come on, guys, time's a-wasting! Timble advances through the corridor on his knees, feeling around, all the way to the doors. He starts checking the left door. taking 10 on search for 32. If you won't let me take 10, [roll0]

[Nodwick22]

I like your spunk! But can we make this a little taller so the rest of us can get through?

[Deca]

@Nodwick22: Timeoleon enters the corridor, making him and Timble the only ones currently inside it. He checks for any traps down his end of the corridor and finds nothing.

@Lin: As Timble makes his way to the doors, he hears a rumbling sound. Part of wall behind opens and a large stone partition swoops down in an attempt to block off the corridor, preventing him from escaping


I need a Reflex Save from Lin before anyone else does anything

[Lin Bayaseda]

Timble ducks out of the way of the moving wall ... Reflex save [roll0]

[Lin Bayaseda]

OOC With my luck, that's going to be REF 25. Also, traps that aren't found on Search 30? Ouch.

[Deca]

Timble just manages to jump aside as the wall slams closed, missing him by a hair's breadth. (OOC: literally, any lower on the Save and...)
The lower end of the corridor containing the doors is now cut off by the wall.


Need a Listen Check from Timble

OOC: Actually, that trap would have been found on a check of 30. Only you didn't Search for it. You searched the upper end of the corridor where you came in from and you started Searching one of the doors but you didn't Search the lower part of the corridor's walls.

[Lin Bayaseda]

OOC I don't want to be an ass about it, but I thought "Timble advances through the corridor on his knees, feeling around, all the way to the doors" made it obvious that I search before the doors as well. Oh well, nevermind.

Timble's hairy ears shift to and fro as he attempts to hear ... what?Listen 1d20+13[/roll]

[Lin Bayaseda]

Let's listen again ... [roll0]

[Deca]

OOC:

Nah, it's fine. I'll do that in future.


A great groaning and screeching is heard from the cut-off part of the corridor. A few seconds later, a great BAM! is heard. It was probably for the best that Timble hadn't stayed there.
With the stone wall closing, this corridor is now blocked off.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Uhm, a wall just tried to kill me. That's not nice.

[Deca]

For evading a CR 6 trap alone, Timble gains 900 xp.

[bue52]

Meanwhile...... back at the front door, EVan was about to join the rest when Timble and Timeoleon dash into the room, suddenly the door slams shut leaving the rest of the party behind....... "So erm, should we try opening the door?"

[Deca]

OOC: You're not cut off. Only the lower part of the corridor was cut off.

I'm trying to find some good dungeon mapping software but until then I'll have to use words. The lower part of the corridor was the trapped bit near the double doors. Only that part of the corridor is now sealed off.

[Nodwick22]

You have all ten fingers and all ten toes??

[Duskranger]

Well, ehm, how can we get to them. Maybe they're hurt and we need to help them. Any ideas?

[Deca]

[Deca]

OOC


Making a stand before too much more confusion. Everybody is fine. Nobody is cut off from anyone else. Timble nearly was but that's beside the point. The only thing that's changed is that this entrance is now blocked off.

[Duskranger]

Option two it is. Travan says while scratching his head.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Timble runs a quick finger and toe count. Yep, all there Feeling a bit guilty at what just happened, he tries to search the newly-created wall for any means to remove it [roll0]
If nothing is found, he'll run out to help his friends dig at the other entrance.

[Nodwick22]

Lets make the entrance bigger this time just in case one of us has to try to escape a fireball coming at us.

[bue52]

"Is that even possible?" asks Evan, "I think I'll take point this time. Any objections?"

[Nodwick22]

None here.

[Duskranger]

Go ahead my, no objections from me. Hope I can do more inside than here though.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Go ahead, I'll be right with you, I'll just try to ... maybe I can find some kind of switch to move that blasted wall back, a small voice comes from inside.

[Deca]

Lin searches the new wall, looking for a way past it to the doors she saw earlier.
She looks hard but finds nothing. The wall is just a wall. Whatever mechanism that pushed it out must be inside the walls themselves.

Meanwhile, the rest of the party starts to work on the second entrance. After over an hour of hard work, the blockage covering the second entrance is fully removed and the corridor beyond is now visible.

Brillaint colours are everywhere in this tunnel; pigments painted on the stone walls undimmed by the passage of centuries. The floor is a colourful mosaic, featuring a distinct path of red tiles forming a distinct 2ft wide winding trail down the 20ft wide corridor. A few chips and gaps reveal that cement or plaster covers the underlying stonework of the corridor but mostly the walls are covered with paint and illustrations of various scenes.


Can I get a Spot Check from everyone?

[Nodwick22]

Spot check


[roll0]

[Lin Bayaseda]

Timble returns, knees and knuckes sore from unsuccessful searching. Wow, look at all the pretty colors!

Spot [roll0]

[Dragero]

Spot check:

[roll0]

[Nodwick22]

Too many pretty colors. Makes me sick.

[Deca]

For those who get over 20 on their Spot Check:

You realise that the tiles on the floor mosaic hides barely noticable runes, a message in Common. It says the following:

ACERERAK CONGRATULATES YOU ON YOUR POWERS OF OBSERVATION. SO MAKE OF THIS WHATEVER YOU WISH, FOR YOU WILL BE MINE IN THE END NO MATTER WHAT!

Below the message is a poem of some sort:

Go back to the tormentor or through the arch,
and the second great hall you'll discover.
Shun green if you can, but night's good colour
is for those of great valor.
If shades of red stand for blood the wise
will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of
magical metal - You're well along your march.
Two pits along the way will be found to lead
to a fortuitous fall, so check the markings on the wall.
These keys and those are the most important of all,
and beware of trembling hands and those that maul.
If you find the false, you'll find the true
and into the columned hall you'll come,
and there's the throne that's key and keyed.
The iron men of visage grim do more
than meet the viewer's eye.
You've left and left and found my Tomb,
and now you're souls are mine.


OOC

Remember, the corridor is quite wide so when you're walking down it or doing whatever in it, you need to specify where you're walking. In more practical terms, the corridor is two squares wide and it extends as far as you can see. Each square is ten feet.

[Nodwick22]

Draws bow and knocks an arrow. Nothing to spectacular about a bunch of pretty colors but you never know whats lurking in the darkness.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Nice poem, but the overall message is somewhat unfriendly. Can anyone memorize it, I'm really bad at memorizing? And green is bad, 'mkay? Not sure what "shun" means, but sounds bad. So let's shun green.

OOCDM, you said the 2ft wide winding trail down the corridor is red, but what color is the rest of the corridor? Or did I miss it somewhere?

The floor is filled with every colour of the rainbow. There seems to be no order to the colours or their placement.
And yes, I'm trying to get a map.

[Dragero]

It also says somthing about: If we see red, sacrifice a loop of magical metal.....A magic ring maybe?

[Duskranger]

Spotcheck.
[roll0]

OOC:Unexpected 21, but I may read the sign.

Whatever the riddle says my friends, I think we are in trouble. Even though the power granted to me by Pelor let's me make a commitment to go on. I will not shun his way. And if there are creepy crawlies inside we will defeat them. Now for the riddle. The nights color is black, so black would be safe. Or do you disagree. For the persons specialised in the skills of observation, watch out for markings on the walls, scrapings or the like. One trap is enough wouldn't you agree.

[Deca]

Map

Finally have a map up, made of an unholy combination between Paint and Gamemaker. I know it's pretty horrible but I'm still trying to find a proper mapping software.
Here is the corridor you're looking down:

http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy140/deca-007/FirstCorridor-Empty.jpg

Each one of the squares in the grid is a 5-foot square which a character can stand on.
Keep in mind that it is in no way a description of the corridor. It is merely here for the sake of mechanics and confusion.
Nobody is on the corridor yet so they aren't marked.

[Nodwick22]

Ummm....guys what 'poem' are you guys talking about all i see is a bunch of random colors

[Lin Bayaseda]

Take a look again, my friend, do you see the pattern over there? There are words in that pattern. Assist Other on Spot check [roll0] EDIT: Nodwick, try again at +2

[Nodwick22]

if you insist.......ahh now i see it. Hmmm....i do agree with the "loop of magic metal" being a ring but beyond thats all i get from it. Maybe the bard will have different insights.

[Deca]

[roll0]

Bard begins to think, to see if the poem brings anything to mind.


As Bard ponders on the line 'check the markings on the wall' and looks around the corridor, something springs to mind. The old histories about Acererak had stated that he had been a great art-lover while alive and had collected a lot of paintings, murals and other forms of art when he wasn't off murdering and soul-stealing. Perhaps those could be the markings referenced?

[Dragero]

Hmmm the "Markings on the wall" may not just be markings. Watch out for paintings!

[Nodwick22]

You mean like they are gonna come out and attack us. Or are we talking moving eyes because something is behind it?

[Dragero]

Your guesse is as good as mine!

[Nodwick22]

maybe someone should check for traps....im not stepping a foot in there in till im sure no painting is going to attack me....

[Lin Bayaseda]

I can take one side of the corridor. Who else has nimble fingers and is good at trapfinding?

[Nodwick22]

Not me. I see something move and I put my sword in it thats all i know how to do.

[Dragero]

I can sing a song to give you a better chance of finding traps.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Always appreciate a good song - very uplifting!

[Nodwick22]

Yes music would be good about now

[Dragero]

Heres a song to get us into a good mood, and to tell our host what we`re not gonna do to him!

Timble slowly advances, checking the right side of the corridor, floor tiles and walls, trying to step on black if possible, and certainly not on green.

Some search rolls:

Timble enters the corridor and advances 20ft down the right side. He finds nothing in the walls, ceiling or floor. A gleam of light reflecting off metal catches his eye.

I`m standing in front of you. I`m singing, Instruments are for the weak!

[Deca]

Timble continues looking, spurred on by Bard's music. His attention is drawn to one of the many illustrations that are painted on the walls of the corridor.

This painting in particular is only five feet ahead of him. It seems to depict a wizard's workroom, filled with arcane writings, potions and such. In the middle of the painting, two large jackal-headed human figures are depicted. In the painting, they are holding an ornate bronze box.
The box is not part of the painting and actually extrudes into the corridor from where it has been nailed to the wall.

The chest is hinged at the bottom so as to allow the lid to swing down if opened.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Let's examine the box ...carefully ... [roll0] plus BF (Bard Factor)

[Deca]

The bottom of the box will swing out if a small stud on the top is pressed. Timble can't see anything further as he is standing a bit too far away for close examination.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Timble is honestly stumped. Guys, what should we do about this box?

[Nodwick22]

Bard's hastily cast spell slows Timoleon's descent down the 10ft pit. Once he lands, he'll be perfectly fine...

Timoleon gets poisoned twice.
Rolling damage:
[roll0]
[roll1]

He takes seven points of Con damage, reducing his Con to 11. The poison also loses one hit point from his Hit Die for every point of Con lost. This turns Tim's d12 Hit Die to d5's. From now on, his maximum hit points cannot therefore exceed 45.

Timoleon's Con score will slowly heal back to where it was at the speed of +1 Con per day.

Also, Tim will take additional Con damage in a minute's (in-game) time if the poison isn't neutralised.

[Nodwick22]

well that hurt....note to self stay behind timble....

[Lin Bayaseda]

"Guys, if you can pull him up quickly, I have some antitoxine on me."
*Timble curses at himself for not bringing a rope*

[Dragero]

Good thing I brought some rope!

Bard reaches into his back and pulls out some rope, tossing it to Tim.

[Nodwick22]

Tim stands up and looks around for any other bodies that didnt make it back up. If there is nothing he grabs the rope and climbs back up to get healed



[roll0] Search check
[roll1] Climb Check

[bue52]

Evan moves over to the pit, and reaches out his hand, readying himself to pull Tim to safety.

[Lin Bayaseda]

With Timoleon out of the pit, Timble hands him a vial. Here, drink this before the poison does you in.
+5 to saves against the aftereffects of poison. Unless anyone has anything better, of course, like Neutralize Poison

[Nodwick22]

Thank you. well i feel really stupid. Guess all these paintings looking at me got me distracted.

[Duskranger]

Travan

Come over here for a bit, than I will try to make you feel better. Watch your step the next time you try that please. You never know when a trap will strike in this treacherous place.

His hands start glowing with a soothing divine light and when he touches Timoleon you see his wounds closing.



I trade in my Searing Light (lvl 2 spell) for a Cure moderate wounds which heals: [roll0] damage.

[Nodwick22]

Thank You. And i will stay behind the trapfinders from now on.

[Duskranger]

Travan

Do not thank me, give your thanks to Pelor, it's by his power that I was able to heal you. Without Pelor by my side I would be like a newborn baby. But with him my enemies should beware because his might will smite those that are not worthy and those that do wrong.

[Nodwick22]

oops just about forgot to drink the antitoxin. thank you Timble

[Dragero]

Now with all this done, how about we get back going. Stay behind the trapfinders, unless you want to end up like tim here.

I believe the effects of my song are still in effect.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Now that we've seen the dangers of this place, we should tread carefully. And definitely shun green. Timble advances some 20 feet, Search [roll0]+Bard Factor

[Deca]

Timoleon searches around in his pit before climbing up but all he sees is dust and bones. The antitoxin given to him stops him getting worse and the heal brings him back up to 34 hp.

Timble walks forward 10 ft before stopping so he won't walk into the pit that Timoleon didn't already stumble into.

His searching of the ground turns up nothing unusual but his current movement brings him straight next to the box. Now that he is closer, he notices something which he wouldn't have seen from his previous distance.

The stud that you press to open the box is trapped. Nothing special, just a simple poison needle that springs up and stabs anything pushing the stud.

I am assuming that Tim moved back behind the trapfinders.

Key: Green=Timble, Blue=Evan, Grey=Tim, Brown=Travan, Yellow=Bard, Black=Pit

[Lin Bayaseda]

So... let's not push the stud. Not even a little bit. Timble walks around the put, keep eyes open for any sign of danger, and continues for 10 more feet. [spoiler]search +Bard Factor

[Deca]

Timble gingerly steps around the pit and walks forward ten more feet. Luckily, he stops there. His cautious checking of the floor pays off as he realises that a similiar ten-foot wide pit is concealed just ahead of him.

[Duskranger]

Travan

He walks after the rogue, but only on the places where he stepped on. Listening to every of his warnings. He tries to stay 10 feet behind him, so he has some movementpossibilities.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Travan

He walks after the rogue, but only on the places where she stepped on. Listening to every of her warnings. He tries to stay 10 feet behind her, so she has some movementpossibilities. Major spot check fail here.

Anyway, Timble tries to see if he can cross safely diagonally between the two pits. (Front-right from my POV, or left-down on the map). If needed, Seach [roll0], Spot [roll1]. If it seems safe, he will move 10' diagonally.

[Deca]

Travan moves upward through the tunnel, taking care only to walk where Timble had already been.
Timble, after seeing nothing wrong with the stone diagonal to him, attempts to cross the thin line of safe untrapped stone between the open pit and the concealed pit.


Make a Balance Check
Don't worry, it's easy.

[Nodwick22]

[Lin Bayaseda]

Hmm, the floor is slippery here ... I hope I won't fall Balance [roll0]

[Nodwick22]

[Dragero]

Bard comes up behind Tim.

[roll0]

Just a random song....

Don`t, don`t, don`t fall down the endless pit... He whispers to himself.

[Duskranger]

Travan

Is it safe to pass. I'm not that good with heights and stuff.

Travan wants to follow the rest of the group, seeing they made it safely, but he doesn't trust the tomb after seeing everything.

[Deca]

Timble, Timoleon and Bard all manage to make their way across the narrow path between the open pit and the concealed pit.
Timble searches around for anything amiss but cannot see anything wrong with where they currently are.

Travan walks behind them, looking doubtful about the way forward while Evan is still checking out the open pit.

Also, Timoleon gains 900 xp for besting surviving the spike trap.

[bue52]

Evan looks up and follows the exact footsteps of the rest, hopefully, not falling into the pit himself.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Well, let's advance some more. I dunno, about 20'. Search [roll0], Spot [roll1]

[Deca]

Evan joins the rest of the group as Timble walks ahead. After 20ft, he notices another concealed trapdoor just to the left of him (his left).

[Lin Bayaseda]

Timble marks the location of the trap with ... Uhm, seems like I didn't bring any chalk with me ... or ink ... anyway, the trap is right *there*, so watch out.. He then keeps advances 20' more. Search [roll0]

[Nodwick22]

Stays far away from that trap following exactly where timble goes.

[Dragero]

Bard comes up behind them, thankfull that the rogue got a 20 is good at finding traps.

[Deca]

Timble walks forward further, closely followed by Timoleon and Bard. While the ground beneath their feet is stable, Timble detects another trapdoor off to his left again.
Timble is fairly certain that they are approaching the end of the corridor. He peers ahead but can't quite make out what is at the end.

[Duskranger]

Travan

Travan after memorizing the path the took shouts out to them that they should wait. And he tries to go to them.


Balancecheck: [roll0]


He also walks only on the path that he saw was safe and when he comes close to them he starts chanting and casts a spell. He begins to shine with light that wouldn't be wrong in one of the heavens of Celestia.


The object touched sheds light brighter
than bright sunlight, channeled directly
from the celestial realms. The light
extends to a 120-foot radius: bright light
to 60 feet and dim light in another 60
feet.
Creatures with light sensitivity take
twice the usual penalty when they are
within 60 feet of the object. Undead
creatures take 1d6 points of damage
each round they are within the bright
light. Evil outsiders, as well as undead
creatures that are specifically harmed by
sunlight, take 2d6 points of damage each
round in the bright light.
Celestial brilliance brought into an area
of magical darkness (or vice versa) is
temporarily negated, so that the other-
wise prevailing light conditions exist in
the overlapping areas of effect.
Celestial brilliance counters or dispels
any darkness spell of equal or lower
level, such as deeper darkness.

This one is nerfed from 8 days to 8 hours (for the teammates better, because sleeping in this kind of light is going to be hard :smallbiggrin:)

[Nodwick22]

[Goodeness you are bright!

[Deca]

As Travan and Evan joins the rest of the group, Timble takes Bard's rope, ties the torch to it and hurls it forward.
At the same time, Travan begins to glow with celestial light.

Together the two light sources reveal the end of the tunnel. The tunnel ends some 30 or 40 feet away from Timble's position.

The tunnel ends in a wall that has a very large leering demonic face carved out of green stone. The carving's mouth gapes widely open. A few moments later, you realise that the mouth is infact a dark archway leading to another part of the tomb. The light does not seem to have any effect on the darkness in the mouth.

Near the end of the tunnel, a small corridor branches off to the left. Because of the angle, you cannot see what is down the corridor.

Timble notices that the red mosaic path that has been twisting down the tunnel has split into two paths, one leading down the left corridor and one leading directly into the carving's mouth.

[Lin Bayaseda]

This blows. I paid 110 gold ones for that torch. "Everburning torch", the merchant told me. "Penetrates the darkest darkness". Yeah right. When we come back from this outing, I'm gonna have a chat with that merchant. Let's see how he likes that torch penetrating his darkness.

[bue52]

"Well, you can't really blame the merchant, we just have something more awesome than what a normal person experience, hence why they claim the power to penetrate the darkness. Is it possible that is some special form of magical darkness we are in anyway?" EVan asks.

[Duskranger]

Travan

That would be possible, but most darkness fleds away from the light of the gods. They are fearfull of what Pelor can do and will hide from him. He will find them though and I will be his servant to submit judgment to evil and good alike. Therefore I shine with light Divine to show Perlors mercy on those that are good and Pelors judgment on those that are not. So please take bake the words about the merchant, show him mercy, and remember, I will stand next to thee and will try to hold the light as long as necessary for thee.

Travan follows from this moment 10' behind Timble so that his light can destroy any darkness.

@ deca

You know that this spell really destroys all darkness. Celestial brilliance counters or dispels any darkness spell of equal or lower level, such as deeper darkness. So any darkness spell of lvl 4 and lower will be dispelled :)

[Deca]

@Duskranger

Your light, while illuminating the corridor and certainly destroying any mundane or magical darkness, has no effect on the darkness in the carving's mouth. No mere Lvl 4 spell be this.

[Nodwick22]

Well thats never good. Its the paintings....

[Lin Bayaseda]

Well, unless anyone has means to breach that blasted darkness, I suggest we go left.

[Duskranger]

Travan

I'm afraid I will only be off service behind thee. If my light has not penetrated into that darkness it means that the darkness is of no ordinary means, and thus we should tread carefully. I will follow thine footsteps shortly behind so you have Pelors light in to guide you.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Let's try left. Timble crosses the corridor diagonally right-to-left, mindful of traps and takes a peek into the branching corridor.

Search [roll0], Spot [roll1]


Also, while I'm there, assuming no emergency occurs, an experiment. With the torch still tied to the 50' rope, toss it into the dark mouth, then try to retrieve it.
ranged touch attack [roll2]

[Deca]

As Timble crosses the corridor diagonally, he detects another trapdoor, this one directly in front of where they would have walked had they continued to go straight forward.

Aside from that, he crosses the corridor with no alarm. He peeks around to see what is in the left corridor. The corridor is only 10 feet long. The red mosaic path continues down the corridor and goes through the archway at the end of the corridor.
The stone archway is filled with a strange mist that blocks your sight from seeing what lies beyond the archway.

Three large stones are embedded in the arch, one in the lower left, one in the lower right and one sitting at the very top of the archway. Each has a different hue. The lower left is yellow, the lower right stone is orange and the top stone is blue.

From his position there, Timble gathers up the rope and the Everburning Torch and throws it into the mouth of the green demon carving.
The Torch and the rope vanish into the darkness without a trace.

A moment later, a great force pulls the rest of the rope into the darkness.

@Lin:

Is Timble going to hold on to the rope or let go of it?

[Lin Bayaseda]

Timble has no desire to get involved in a tug-of-war with whoever or whatever is pulling on that rope. Bye bye, useless 110 gold pieces.

[Deca]

The rest of Bard's rope is pulled into the darkness to join the Everburning Torch.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Sorry about your rope, man. I'll get you a new one at the next store. So ... colored stones ... any ideas?

[Duskranger]

Travan

I'm afraid that darkness is more scary than I on forehand expected. Can you search withou going in there of there's a switch on this side. If not this could be an effective trap. I am sorry that I can't really do anything more than glowing right now. And I'm afraid that if you put your head through that thing you will lose it. And I can't put ypur head back on your neck. I can only say be carefull.

[Dragero]

Good thing I had the rope cut into two 50 foot lengths! Bard says as he pulls the end of the second length out of his bag, then stuffs it back in.

As for...Whatever is in there, I could fire an arrow or two and see what happens?

If nobody objects, a +1 arrow flys into the darkness.

[Dragero]

I should probably roll....

[roll]1d20+10/roll]

[roll0]

[Dragero]

[roll0]

Gah...sorry for triple post.

[Duskranger]

Travan

Would that be a good idea, I mean arrows ain't endless. We could also try a more magical approach. I mean, I am not the only person with magical means now am I. We could research the portal and maybe found out what has made this darkness.

Spellcraftcheck:

[roll0]

[Deca]

Bard's arrow flies into the darkness to little effect. There is no response from whatever is in the darkness.

Travan peers at the darkness, attempting to figure it out. After a few minutes, he concedes that he has absolutely no idea what it is.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Right... so we have no idea what this thing is. Somehow, I'm not surprised. Oh well, only one way to find out. Timble approaches the misty stone arch, mindful of traps as usual, and examines it carefully. He also does his best to peer through the mist, using all his senses.


Search corridor before getting to the arch [roll0]
Search the arch itself (from my side only) [roll1]
Spot, to peer through the mist [roll2]
Listen at the arch [roll3]

[Deca]

Timbles goes through the left corridor without harm. He finds nothing on the 7-foot high archway.
However, when he approached the arch, the three coloured stones, the yellow stone on the left base, the blue stone at the top of the arch and the orange stone on the right base, begin to glow strongly.

[Lin Bayaseda]

How did that poem go?
Go back to the tormentor or through the arch, okay, I choose arch.
and the second great hall you'll discover.
Shun green if you can, but night's good colour
is for those of great valor.
If shades of red stand for blood the wise hey, aren't orange and yellow shades of red? Or am I confused?
will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of
magical metal - You're well along your march. Sacrifice a magical ring? How? Where?

[Duskranger]

Travan

And is this archway not as dark as the night. I mean blacker than this we will probably not get it. Was there in this hallway something like a ring?

[Nodwick22]

What about touching the colored stones?

[Dragero]

Anybody got any magical rings? Maybe we could toss one inside....

[Duskranger]

Travan

I'm sorry, my vow prohibits the owning of those. I gave all I had to the poor and needy, those that need it more than I do. I have my faith and my god to help me. I'm sorry that I can't help you with this part. The colored tiles though. Or is one of us brave enough to peek inside?

[Nodwick22]

If someone needs to risk their head ill do it!

[Lin Bayaseda]

Eh... I can sacrifice a magical ring. But I won't enjoy it. (if anyone wants to risk their neck going through the arch, Timble hands them his Ring of Feather Fall just in case)

[Duskranger]

Travan

Tie a rope around his middle. If he tugs we pull him back. Just as a safety measure. I wish you goodluck. And if you disappear, know that I will pray for you. May Pelor protect you.

[Dragero]

If evan doesn't want to go, I will.

also, why not play with those stones first? We could pull one or two out....

[bue52]

"I'm alright with going actually." Evan says, "Gimme the ring please, I'll do as Travan suggests." After tying the rope and such and taking the ring too, Evan moves on, keeping his ears and eyes peeled for any sign of danger.

Spot:[roll0]
Search:[roll1]
Listen:[roll2]

[Duskranger]

Travan

Travan grabs the rope and holds on ready to pull Evan back if necessary.

Little help please, if we all put our strength together it's better than one that does it alone.

[Dragero]

Bard positions himself behind travan, and joins in on pulling the rope.

[Nodwick22]

Tim takes up the anchor postion behind the bard.

I said i would go but it makes since to send the smaller person.

[Deca]

Evan walks into the mist, coughing as he inhales it slightly. He has only taken a few steps into the archway when he begins to blur and then disappears entirely! A few moments later, the rope that he was tied to disappears as well, even the parts being held on to.
This is no ordinary arch, it is a teleporter!

Evan is deposited inside a small room. It is 10 foot square and there appears to be no way out. The room is entirely bare, save for three levers that are set in one of the walls.

[Nodwick22]

well....that was interesting? shall we follow him?

[Dragero]

Bard looks at Nodwick as if he was crazy.

ARE YOU INSANE?! That gate just ATE him! He`s probably DEAD right now, and you want to follow like a bunch of LEMMINGS?

Bard slaps Travans lower back.

Tell him! We are NOT going in there!

[Lin Bayaseda]

Oh my god, I'm being the voice of reason here, please shoot me

If I may, a compromise. Pelor's servant Travan surely has divination magic available to check whether Evan is still alive and if he is, what kind of place did he go to and is it safe. Maybe he can advise as. Spiritually as well as practically.

[Duskranger]

OOC:

With pleasure


I'm sorry. The magic of Pelor would only have helped if I would have casted it before he went through there. But I can give you the alternative opton. I will cast it now, then I will go through the portal. I am not afraid that anything will happen to me, for I am protected by his divine hand. Than if I will be still alive and be needing your help I will let one of you shine with a torchlike light. I'm sorry for my own overlooking. But this is the only option at the moment that is open for me.


First greater status: 1 person (voluntarily) touched /3 lvls, makes 2 persons touched. I will now precisely where they are, what their status is, but more important I can cast lvl 0,1,2 spells as if I touched them. With a saving throw of harmless.
If the conection is made I will go through the portal and than cast light on one of the persons. So that they know I'm safe or at least alive.

[Deca]

OOC:

Right, who wants to volunteer for Duskranger's Status spell? Has to be willing.

[Dragero]

Bard`ll volenteer.

[Duskranger]

OOC:

You know that I can hve two volunteers. I So it is actually who wants to be left out :smallbiggrin:. Beside the person who allready went to the portal. The one that has the connection can also be healed from a distance or get other beneficial spells.

[Deca]

So that leaves Tim or Timble for the second volunteer. Eh. I'll just assume Timoleon volunteers simply because the idea of the party rogue glowing in the dark is unthinkable on several levels.


After casting his spell on Timoleon and Bard, Travan boldly stepped through the mist filled archway.
He was quickly teleported to the same room as Evan in it.

Yes, that is an incredibly lazy description. I'm sleep deprived.

[Duskranger]

Travan

Travan looks around nods to Evan and starts chanting as promised. When he's done he looks around.

Luckily you are still alive Evan. We were worried when you and the rope did disappear. Have you found the torch and the other part of the rope here. It should be around here somewhere.



He knows that the rest is still ok and he casts light on them. It will shine for 80 minutes (10 min/CL) so they will know he is still alive.

[Nodwick22]

Well now that we know that the good Traven is okay i say we follow him.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Yeah, we have to follow him. That dude still has my ring. Timble steps through the archway.

[Nodwick22]

well if it gets me away from these paintings im all for it!

goes through the portal

[Deca]

Timoleon and Timble also enter the portal, joining Evan and Travan.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Give me that! (Unless Evan forcefully objects) Timble takes the ring, puts it on his finger, and tries it out by jumping in the air a few times, noting the speed of his descent. Yep, still works.

[Nodwick22]

an interesting room....no paintings yet.

[bue52]

"Should I search the room for anything else, or do you think that will activate the trap? There is something about being in a confined room with no opening that feels claustrophobic." Evan says as he returns the ring.

[Duskranger]

Travan

I suggest we go on wit hthis very carefully, let Timble search this room for traps or secret doors. Any way out besides the levers is preferred. I do not know what this building has in store for us and I rather wouldn't find out without a safe way out. If you wouldn't mind.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Well, it's a small room, and we're not in a hurry. Take 20 on Seach for a total of 42. Also, examining the levers carefully, but not moving them yet.

[Nodwick22]

Maybe my ablities will come into play soon

[Dragero]

Bards pops through the archway. He keeps his eyes out for secret doors.

Elves notice all secret doors nearby! Yay for a racial abilitie I almost forgot about!

[Deca]

Passive Elven Sense Search: [roll0]


Bard's spidey sense fails to alert him to any secret passageways. Luckily, Timble is more vigilant.
As he methodically searches the room, he finds a hidden trapdoor located in the 10ft high ceiling of the room. After a bit of thumping the walls, he figures out the celing trapdoor will open if the three levers are pulled a certain way.

His prodigious searching also tells him that the entire floor of this room will collapse if the three levers are pulled a certain way.

Despite even more searching, Timble cannot discern the mechanisms enough to figure out which combination of levers pulled up or down would lead to either one.

[Dragero]

Well.........How about we build a house in here? Seems a bit dangerous to be randomly pulling levers....

[Lin Bayaseda]

Well, I have a ring of feather falling, so I don't care much. The rest of you lot, are advised to brace for impact.

Timble approaches the levers and puts his hand on one of them, seemingly at random. [roll0]

What?! I was just kidding ...

DM: is there any difference whatsoever between the levers?

[Dragero]

[roll0]

Spot check for anything in the room, esecialy carvings (And the everburning torch/rope)

Edit: DURP! Thats actualy 31! I thought I had 3 in search, not 13 :P

[Deca]

Bard looks around but finds nothing. The everburning torch and rope aren't here as they were thrown into the dark archway.

@Lin:

Each lever looks exactly the same as each other. They can be pulled either up or down.

[Lin Bayaseda]

So, I reread the poem 3 times. Still got nothing. We have a 1/6 chance by trying randomly. Anyone has spells that would prevent us from falling in case the pit is open?

[Duskranger]

Travan

I could maybe try to divine something, but for it to work I need to give up something from equal value as a offering. And besides that would I be required to rest at least 8 hours and complete my prayers for the day. I have only one problem and that's that I do not have the material wealth I need for the spell. I'm sorry for that. On the other hand am I the only one with magic on my side. Would it be possible that he would have the components for this spell so we could get out of here. I suggest we rest today and tomorrow I will try to ask Pelor for something that can maye get us out of this room. If you all agree with that I mean.

OOC:

Both the spells that would be usefull: Divination and Augury have material components. Now that's not that big of a problem at least if I could trade in XP like with crafting, but I do not have that kind of XP. What is the plan guys. There was another cleric here or am I wrong about that.

[Deca]

OOC

@ Duskranger:
Volthawk was going to be a Cleric in the party but as far as I understand it, his internet connection bombed for a few days and he missed out.
As spellcasters go, it's just your character and the Bard.

[Duskranger]

OOC:


Does anybody has something with the worth of 25 gp they can offer to Pelor:smallbiggrin:. I need that or experience.


@ Deca

Could I use shape stone to make a trap out of the trapdoor in the ceiling. That way we wouldn't even need the levers.

[Deca]

@Duskranger:

Cunning!
Yes, you can use Stone Shape to open the ceiling door.
If you had it prepared, that is.

[Dragero]

Bard pulls a feather out of his pocket.

I can create a 50 foot tall tree with this! It will probably burst the ceiling!

As for 25gp items....I have a few healing potions.....Could you not just offer 25 gold? Surely pelor will be fine with it. If not... Bards holds out the healing potion.

[Duskranger]

Travan

I think I hava another idea. A divine piece of information so to speak. I would rather not use the tree. And even if I use your offering I can only do it tomorrow after having my session of prayers towards him who gives me strength. So I would suggest we rest after I heal everyone's wounds as far as there are any and than go to sleep. Maybe with one guard, if necessary. Light will there be enough.

[Lin Bayaseda]

What'cha need for offerings, gems? Can't help you with that, sorry. Gambl... I mean, used up all the gems I had. Do have some spare gold though. But how about we just try blindly without (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/featherFall.htm) falling (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/airWalk.htm)?

[Duskranger]

Travan

No I think I can do it without offerings. I can even make a stair. I only need a time to have prayers. And because I am exhausted I can't do it at the moment. Tomorrow I will show you what I have in mind, if Pelor grants me his wisdom and power. I wil try to sculpt the ceiling into a stairway so we can escape this room. For now we are relatively safe I guess. Would you mind it if I went to sleep for 8 hours and after that will take care of things. With Pelor at my side I can defeat almost any challenge. And the positive point of this is that I can heal the wounds, and you an keep the valuables you have with you. The potion is a really friendly offer as is the money, but I rather do it this way. If it's necessary I will ask the questions and need the offering, but I hope he gave me this insight so that he wouldn't take away any wealth from you. I felt bad when I asked it.
Travan sits down and looks at the rest of the party. If no one complains he will first wave forward Timoleon and heal al his wounds. After that he will go to sleep. After 8 hours of rest when the day starts again he will prepare spells.

@Deca

I will make as a only difference one stone shape, one create food and water and one divination.
If necessary I use two more CMW for healing of the one who fell in the trap

[Nodwick22]

Thank you for the healing. Do you think we need someone to stand watch? Since there are no other doors I do not think we do?

If there are no objections I take off my armor and I just realized i did not bring a bedroll. Oh well I lay down and go to sleep with my Greatsword.


As Tim falls asleep he is mumbling about paintings.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Timble takes first watch.

After about an hour or so, the boredom overwhelms him. Glancing at his comrades, makig sure they're asleep, he walks on his tippy-toes toward the levers. Move Silently [roll0] Hmm. All look the same. Almost the same. But this one ... seems like there's a scratch here ... looks like it was recently pulled down. [roll1]

Nah. It's a stupid idea.
He resumes his watch.

[Dragero]

I will take second watch, as us elves do not "sleep".

Bard sits around on the ground, playing with his bow, and singing tunes to himself.

I get up early when the sleeping pill wakes me
I take a wake up pill and fill with energy
I power on hard and I check my messages
But I don’t have any messages
I take a driving pill and head to my car
I drive around a bit cuz work isn’t very far
I call my phone and I check my messages
But I don’t have any messages

All I know is driving on drugs feels better when they’re prescription
All I know is the world looks beautiful, the world looks so damn beautiful

And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.
And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.

Work is anything but quiet these days
I try to medicate my concentration haze
I can feel the day unfold in front of me
So I take the stairs and hit the gym
The phone is ringing when I get to my desk
What was a stinging’s now a sharp pain in my chest
So I take a Calminex and just chill
And then it’s time for lunch again

All I know is work is easy when you don’t stress out about deadlines
All I know is I take my medicine I always take my medicine

And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.
And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.

Sometimes I’d like to slow things down
Enjoy the moment
But when I look the moment’s gone

Work is over but I can’t stay to work late
Got to leave and get ready for my second date
With a pretty girl that I met at the pharmacy
Right in the prescription line
I take a pill for my social anxiety
I get a table and a nice bottle of chablis
Now it’s getting late and there’s still no sign of her
I have another glass of wine

All I know is the wine lasts longer when you don’t gotta share it with someone
All I know is my steak tastes better when I take my steak tastes better pill

And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now.
And I feel fantastic
And I never felt as good as how I do right now
Except for maybe when I think of how I felt that day
When I felt the way that I do right now, right now, right now

I feel fantastic (http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songdetails/I%20Feel%20Fantastic)

Eight hours pass. Well, at least you think they have. Time is harder to measure in a place with no night, no day and where nothing changes.

@Duskranger

So your new spell list is the same as previous only with Stone shape, a Create Food and Water and a Divination? Gotcha. But what spells are you taking out of your list to let those ones in?

[Nodwick22]

Tim has a problem....can anyone guess what it is?

Morning. I think i could eat a horse.

[bue52]

OOC

I think I'll switch my spells too.
Delay Poison
Wind Wall
Summon Nature's Ally I

Evan wakes up and starts meditating, preparing his mind with divine energies from nature.

[Duskranger]

@Deca

Searing Light becomes Shape Stone
Searing light becomes create food and water.
Stars of Arvandor becomes Divination


Travan

Travan wakes up. Grabs his holy symbol and starts praying. After an hour he rises and looks at the party.

My god answered and gave me precisely what I needed for today. As soon as we are ready shall we try to move on. Does anybody have rations for themselve? Because if not I have precisely the right thing for us all. With the compliments of Pelor off course.

[Nodwick22]

I do not know about the rest but i did not bring any food. And I am hungry. Any food you can conjure up will be greatly appreciated.

[Duskranger]

Travan

Off course I will get some food here. I did also not take anything knowing that Pelor provides me with that what I need. So for that praise him and eat.

Travan sits down, starts praying to Pelor and after the prayer (takes 10 minutes) waves his hand around. Around him food and karafs of water start forming themselves.

Eat and be filled. Take what we have left with you and fill a sack with it. Fill also your waterskins with the water there is. You will find it's pure and full of the taste of sunshine. This are his blessings, let's be blessed with his food.

Travan starts breaking the bread and giving it to his travelmates. After they al have food and water he starts to eat.


He casts create food and water creating enough food and water for 24 persons (3 persons/lvl).

[Nodwick22]

Thank you and Thank Pelor. Eats enough food for 2 people and takes some for a snack later. He also fills his waterskin.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Whoa, foodstuffs! Praise Pelor!
Timble wolfs down half his weight in food. You could swear you've never seen a halfling eat so much.

[Dragero]

Wish ood is werly ood! Uh ant et enerf! Bard swalows. I think you may have made a biiiiit to much food.....wonder if we could toss this chuck of bread here ahead of us to search for traps?

[Duskranger]

Travan

Like I said, this is for the complete day and yes it's a lot. So take some with us so we can eat it later. If we have eaten and drunk our fill. Please take the leftovers with you. And step aside please.

[Nodwick22]

Do we have to leave the nice room with no paintings?

[Lin Bayaseda]

Don't worry, there'll be plenty of rooms with no paintings where we're going.

[Duskranger]

Travan

Have faith. Pelor will protect us. He brought us together for a reason. We all have our own specialties. So let's work together to make the best of this. Now if you all stand aside. I'm going to try to get the trapdoor open.

[bue52]

" So how should we position ourselves while we move the levers?" Evan asks as he moves towards the levers looking at each of them in detail, trying to spot any difference, either in design or something else.

Spot:[roll0]
Sorry, pressed 2 instead of 1

[bue52]

Spot:[roll0]

[bue52]

Again..... sorrry about the triple post
Spot: [roll0]

[Deca]

Evan thoroughly inspects all three levers. He finds nothing that makes one differ from the others.

[Duskranger]

Travan

I would like to place you in each of the corners. Watch out that you do not touch the levers. If you are in position I wil start the opening. Or at least the trying to open it.

[Lin Bayaseda]

Timble, wondering what wicked thing he has done to be sent to the corner, nevertheless complies.

[Nodwick22]

Tim also moves to the corner.

[bue52]

Evan moves away from the levers, and to one of the corners.

[Duskranger]

By the way, can you ready your weapons, in case of something that pops out. I need to keep my head with this part of my plan.
