Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
as you reach the top of the stairs the hallway extends another 15ft then turns to the right and there are more stairs leading up, following the stairs up further to another landing where the hall now extends back to the north about 90ft down the hallway you see a large solid looking reinforced door with several key holes.

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
Not pausing in her steady floating advance, Illaria continues towards the door, her immaculate silver hair flowing in the wind of her passage.
If she reaches the door without anything untoward happening, she tests it, to see if it is locked.Spoiler: Current Character List:

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
Illaria looks to The Troubleshooter. "Another antimagic door. Whomever these people are, they have a massive budget. And we have lost any chance of catching those voices. Perhaps they went down, not up?"

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
After traversing back down the stairs though the hallway to the stairs leading down and going to the bottom of those stairs... you see all of the following.
Large Room well lit, the ceiling is some 100ft tall however there is a noticeable (gargantuan) size hole in the ceiling
the room from where you are to the opposite side is 250ft across and from the wall to your right which is about 90ft away to the wall on your left you again think it is roughly 250ft across.
to your right there is a set of double doors they are closed and bared from the side as you look at them preventing easy access from the other side
the floor is finely crafted marble and stone in places it is covered by rugs of various sizes.
across you see a finely crafted stone wall it extends the entire distance unbroken
looking left the wall that your stairs are on is constructed exactly like the one across from you.
to your left at the far end of the room are 2 stone chairs ornately crafted one slightly larger than the other.
to both sides of the chairs about 10ft away from each, are two columns made of marble some 5ft round.
muffled cries are heard from a man that has been stretched across from one column to the other.
on the floor at his feet lies a golden crown

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
Furrowing a metallic brow, Draxus nods his head reluctantly. "We should at least leave signs for them, in case they pass through." Blade of psychic energy snapping out of his wrist, the half-dragon warforged begins scratching a crude arrow towards town on the face of the rock along with 'D & S' under it to denote who the sign came from.

**presuming mark is on the ground or surface that is not shielded by tree branches

you draw a mark and then realize that the rate it is snowing the mark will be covered in a matter of minutes
and if on a tree it will not be very large as all the trees up here are scrub/small (6-10ft tall)

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
Grunting in resignation at the snow accumiúlation, Draxus resigns himself to instead carving a quick and simple small arrow on any decent-sized branch or tree trunk along the way and hoping for quantity over quality on the way back to town.

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
Realizing to his dismay that his spell didn't have the desired effect and he is being cast at by two evil arch-magi, the Problemshooter attempts to slip his bonds the old fashioned way!

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
Seeing The Problemshooter struggling to escape, Illaria strums a series of piercing, dissonant notes, before pointing her finger at the BBEG as she reaches a creshendo, firing a thin green ray at the creature.

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
The King spends the round unbarring the door and shouting for the guards ,
Strahd does not see the finger of death its green trail extending nearly the length of the royal chamber. Striking him true enveloping him fully and the there was naught but agaseous cloud moving at high speed out the gargantuan hole in the roof .
The royal adviser Druid hears the call for the gaurds and quickly decides to surrender
Combat is over you have afew rounds you can ineract and interogate as welas be freed from the ropes

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
With the druid surrendering, and the king freed, Illaria checks, to verify that The Problemshooter was breaking free, before she turns her attention back to the druid. Her green eyes seemed to harden into stone as a green light glows around her hand. "Explain."

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
Illaria smiles winsomely at the Advisor as she floats closer, her beauty terrifying to behold. "Perhaps I can ask another way. Why post the reward about the dragon? Honesty here may improve your situation, as I could convince the king to accept a lesser sentence. Or you could be obdurate." She pauses for a moment. "You don't want to be obdurate. It's really in your best interest to answer as completely and honestly as you can."
Spoiler: OOC
Using Awesome Beauty(DC 26 Will to resist) All humanoid onlookers within 30 feet need to make the save or be shaken for one minute. Continuing to look means more saves, and each failure resets the duration to 1 minute(A success doesn't break the shake. It just prevents the duration from being refreshed.)
(1d20+12)[13] Intimidate(If applicable)(Well... at least she literally just one shotted his ally, which might incline him to be reasonable?)
(1d20+26)[42] Diplomacy(The real goal for persuading him to answer, but it may not be as applicable as I would like.)

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
Vermund is not intimidated but is shaken for one minute
Indifferent
Speaking towards Illaria I will make you a deal I will tell you everything you wish to know only if you will play my game
I have on my person 69 gambling cards - the game we each draw 13 cards alternating each to draw, if you can get 5 cards that beat mine then I will tell all before I die. If you fail then I die and you learn nothing
is it a deal ?

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
The Problemshooter struggles out of the ropes and looks on. This is clear some kind of trick, but he has no idea what it is, and he furthermore knows Illaria knows and doesn't want to give the game away.

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
He takes the deck out and sets it on the floor near his feet then sits down, you may inspect it and any card in it as long as it remains in this area, where I also can see what you do.
you attempt to cast your spell
(you find that your spell detects nothing you also realize that none of your magic items work
Surely a spell, no no magic allowed for this game...
scanning him closely you notice the druid rotating a ring on his finger
do not want you stacking the deck after all.Last edited by samduke; 2022-08-16 at 06:55 AM.

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
The Problemshooter watches, ready to act when this suddenly goes bad. I know people who can make you disappear. Somewhere justice won't find you easy. If you want that, say so, and drop whatever scheme this is.

The Problemshooter isn't playing. This is definitely a trick. That isn't my place, nor is it mine to stop others playing your game. But, for me, I want no part of this.

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
after watching the druid sit upon the floor it with the pile of cards they are stacked neatly. they appear to be used, but not worn nor damaged.
as you look at them they are all face side down back side up the backs are all slightly colored in a mixture of blue and black ink design that represent the most popular (Game Set Cards) being sold on the market these days.

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
Illaria, looking over the cards, looks back to the druid. "Are you certain that is how you want to try playing this? If you turn on your master, your master will have more immediate problems. If death is what you seek, why not make things more complicated for the being that betrayed you, and left you here to die?"

Re: Expeditionary Travelers IC
Oh you misunderstand that which left this place was but a pawn like myself to the master
I would rather be dead - un-recoverably dead
I offer this game as a source of a way for you to learn information for the master can not control the information if won from me in this manor
