[IC] The Cult of Brannulv
The Plague of Tamor Town, Part 2 The Cult of Brannulv. Continued from [IC] The Plague of Tamor Town.
-----
With Ghiso's mighty blow the remaining ooze splatters apart and is not able to reconstitute.
Spoiler: OOCCopying some of the unfinished stuff from the previous thread here.
Taara takes 5 damage from the fall.
Spoiler: Examine the concentric circles on the floorWith detect magic going you can see there are three separate effects and can roll separately for each one. Without detect magic it is much harder to decipher what is going on, you can only make one check with disadvantage to interpret the magic and the DC's are higher 20, 25, and 22 respectively. This check will take at least 10 minutes IC so you do not know the answer immediately, if you are interrupted you keep the initial roll.
Spoiler: Outermost Circle, DC 18 ArcanaWind Wall.
Spoiler: Sandwiched Circle, DC 23 ArcanaAntimagic Wall
Spoiler: Innermost Circle, DC 20 ArcanaTeleportation Circle
Spoiler: Examine the statueIn the center of the circles stands a statue almost as tall as the room, it appears to be made of clay.
Spoiler: If you touch the circles or try to jump over them to the statueDC 17 Strength save. Take 3d8 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one as a wind whips up out of nowhere and throws you across the room.

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
Ghiso cleaned up the pickaxe, putting it back.
"Right, we were saying...?" he asked, as he started checking out the glyphs on the ground. The other one they saw triggered on sight (or proximity?) and these didn't, and seemed to be stopping people from getting near the statue, so he figured he shouldn't touch them.
Spoiler: OocSo, arcana checks, outhermost then sandwhiched then innermost.

"The external circle is Wind Wall. It'll hurt anybody who triggers it and will make it hard to pass through, stopping projectiles. Well, physical projectiles. The other... No idea. But one is something to stop stuff from passing through and the other creates something, that much I know"Last edited by Valmark; 2020-09-26 at 10:36 PM.

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
Not really wishing to be hurt any further, Zarron scoots out of the room without going anywhere near the glyphs. Once safely outside, he loads his crossbow, planning to shoot the statue for fun and release of pent-up aggression, once everyone is clear of the room.

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
"Is he going to shoot us?" Lana asked absently. But she really didn't like the room, so she took Taara's hand and made her way out.

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
"I doubt Zarron will try to kill us when he can't win the fight" Ghiso pointed out, though he still kept a hand near the weapon. Possessed Zarron could still try something- meanwhile he backed away from the glyphs.
"We should go back to the skeleton room and rest- we got hurt. Plus-" he looked at Lana "One of us might need some time for herself. I'm not sure what it was that you lost... But I'm sorry to hear that" he looked back at the sludge.

Lana smiled and kissed Taara on the cheek, then looked at Zarron to see how the shooting went.

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
Zarron's bolt flies towards the statue but when it is about to cross the outermost circle some of the runes glow and a gust of wind springs up from the ground throwing the bolt into the ceiling.
Maybe the statue moved slightly, or perhaps it was just a trick of the light."Time is an abstract concept created by carbon-based life-forms to monitor their ongoing decay." - Thunderclese

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
Zarron viciously mocks the statue for being a coward, and then joins the group as they take a short rest. They've taken real damage and Zarron is more than a little guilty at the injuries sustained by Ghiso and Lana, which they wouldn't have gotten had he not so cavalierly strolled into a room occupied by the ooze.
He tries to find Cailenam to request the cleric to mend his broken ten foot pole.Last edited by Zergrinch; 2020-09-28 at 11:53 AM.

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
Ghiso unsheated his sword, resisting the urge to throw Zarron in and close the door.
"Why are we triggering the obvious traps again?" he asked tiredly, waiting as far as possible for any further effect. If his theory of keeping something in was correct, Zarron probably freed it.

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
Taara watches the statue for a moment before following after Lana and the others back to the skeleton dog room. She goes to find Cailenam, who she gets her turquoise back from before suddenly hugging him and letting him go on his way. Pocketing it and noting that she should go find another smith or somebody who can make what she wants with it, she returned to Lana and leaned her head on her shoulder.

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
After Zarron casts his spell one of the circles flairs briefly but nothing appears to happen to the statue.
Spoiler: OOCGhiso can make a fresh roll to decipher the Sandwiched Circle now that he has seen it in action to know exactly what it is, but you can probably guess the basics."Time is an abstract concept created by carbon-based life-forms to monitor their ongoing decay." - Thunderclese

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
Zarron follows but hangs back, still nursing the bruises he got from the ooze. This was all his fault - he didn't look closely enough and he and his companions paid the price, especially the genasi's loss of substantially all her possessions and mementos that the young bard was particularly guilty about.
Having ruminated on what was protecting the clay statue in the last room, the curious bard turns to Ghiso. "So, Mr. Ghiso," Zarron says, trying to break the awkward silence, "there was a wind wall and a teleportation circle in that last room, and I'm not sure what was in between that. Why would they put so much protection around a clay statue?"Last edited by Zergrinch; 2020-10-05 at 09:37 PM.

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
"I bet the third floor is the one where they kept all the nice things that won't hurt us!" Lana said. From anyone else it might have been sarcastic.

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
Zarron raises an eyebrow, but says nothing. He does, however, obsessively keep his dancing lights turned on and shining directly on the walls ahead to suss out any more evil oozes.

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
Taara stays close to Lana but also towards the front as they go up the stairs, giggling at what Lana says. "Yes, after the bad things that do not hurt us, the bad things that hurt us, and the good things that do hurt us, maybe that is next."

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
"When have we found the bad things that don't hurt us? And the good things that hurt us?" Ghiso asked sword and shield in hand, staying in the front regardless of his not stellar condition.

Re: [IC] The Cult of Brannulv
On the third floor stair landing there is a wall to your right, a counter hugging the outer wall of the tower, and around the curve to your left is a closed door.
On the counter there are still some odds and ends, flasks and vials remining in stands, there are a dozen that are still full though the labels are faded and illegible. There are some wooden crates underneath containing dusty glassware, some broken. It looks like this was once a laboratory of some kind.
Spoiler: Detect MagicWith detect magic going you see that 5 of the vials/flasks have faint auras: Transmutation (2), Evocation (1), Abjuration (1), and Conjuration (1). You also feel the strong source of magic from behind you in the bartizan."Time is an abstract concept created by carbon-based life-forms to monitor their ongoing decay." - Thunderclese

Zarron shines the dancing lights over every last nook and cranny to ensure there aren't any oozes lying in wait. He also pokes at the walls with his six foot pole.
