The gnome stood in the solace of that dark space completely still and silent and waited for the door to reveal itself again. This time, he was greeted by Allera and Thodin. Armando slipped out of the stone room quickly -slightly afraid that if he lingered for even a second it would carry him somewhere new and more dangerous- and greeted the others with a meager nod. His steps continued down the hallway a ways, and it seemed Allera's attention had caught him too, because her back was turned when Sunny emerged a few short moments later. The blonde woman's energy was enough to distract them all and allow for the gnome to slip away without answering. At the suggestion of returning to the small stone room, Armando shrugged. "It's something to look at." He said a bit dejectedly. Returning to the alcove with the cylinder, he stepped back inside.

bwatford Posted April 8 Author Clone Share Posted April 8 Dungeons & Dragons 5e with DM BWatford Reaching the lower level was a gradual process; each person took turns descending the peculiar device. After roughly ten minutes, they had all gathered in the diminutive room below. Alatia estimated it to be approximately fifty feet beneath the upper chamber's level, having ascended and descended twice to gauge the distance. Although it wasn't a precise measurement, it was as accurate as she could deduce based on the descent time. Descending, she raised the bright yellow lantern aloft just as Sunny's torch sputtered into a stub, which she then discarded. Architect's Foyer The walls are adorned with bas-relief depictions akin to the slender figure on the sarcophagus lid above. About a dozen androgynous, hairless figures stand in deferential postures, seemingly paying tribute to the onlooker. Many outstretch their hands in veneration, their expressions filled with reverence. Some statues are missing hands, arms, heads, or other parts, likely removed by tomb robbers long ago. Approximately fifteen feet to the south, a dark corridor stretches out from an intricately carved archway. However, only a portion of this corridor is visible, as it is largely obscured by a massive stone block. Sunny swiftly moved southward and started to push against the stone block, attempting to topple it. Realizing the task was too great for her alone, she gestured for the others to help. The Whispering Cairn The Cairn HillsThe Cairn Hills refers to the rolling hills and valleys surrounding Diamond Lake, and they are rife with hundreds of burial sites and ruins, the remnants of a civilization long forgotten. Local youth like to dare each other to explore various cairns as a rite of passage, though they have to evade the roving patrols of soldiers from the Garrison and The Bronzewood Lodge to do it.

Allera could not shake the feeling of being buried alive. Yet, as they gathered in the Foyer, a sense of awe washed away traces of fear. She spent some time studying now familiar figures as slender and enigmatic as those above. In so many numbers, they looked less uncanny alien, even evoking something akin to respect. Her attention shifted to Sunny as she swiftly moved to the south, pushing against the massive stone block with determination.

bwatford Posted April 10 Author Clone Share Posted April 10 Dungeons & Dragons 5e with DM BWatford As a few of his companions began to assist Sunny with the stone, Thodin halted them briefly upon noticing an oily residue on the chamber's stonework. It was subtle, and easily overlooked, but Thodin's extensive underground experience had honed his perception of such details. He promptly requested Riffraff to inspect the stone for any traps before proceeding to move it. Riffraff, Thodin, and Allera examined the stone closely, but they could not discern anything unusual—no wires, no connected devices, nothing that would suggest a trap. Yet, they were mistaken.... Moments later, they resumed pushing the stone and finally managed to move it. Working in tandem, they toppled the stone. As it fell amidst a cacophony of noise and dust, they overlooked the pressure plate beneath it. Shortly after, a hissing sound filled the air as a noxious green gas rapidly emanated from valves concealed in the mouths of the adjoining bas-reliefs that lined the chamber's walls. All except Thoding experienced the rapid onset of weakness, the essence of oilcloud taking effect. It was a trap! Passage of Honor Intriguing carvings that appear to depict a raging storm adorn the walls of this ten-foot-wide corridor. Small alcoves are set at intervals of ten feet along the passage, each housing an androgynous humanoid statue with hands cupped. These statues reach a height of approximately seven feet. A subtle breeze whispers through the corridor, its origin elusive. The containment was sufficient to keep the gas within the room they occupied; however, they needed to escape from the gas and the hallway beyond was clear of it.

"Um, let's assume from this point on that every area of this complex is trapped. While I'm not great at discovering my kin's cleverness, I can usually guess where they would put them. For example, this hallway would be prime, both between the pairs of statues and the open space between them for pit traps. We've got time, let's take it."

The previous one - in the moving sarcophagus - was deadly. If Thodin was right... When Riffraff found nothing she breathed easily, but the feeling was short-lived. Of course, there was a trap, and they had fallen right into it. The noxious green gas enveloped them with terrifying swiftness. Allera's limbs grew heavy, weakness seeping into her very core as the poison overpowered her senses. Through blurry vision, Allera glanced around the opened passage, barely seeing the intricate carvings. Right now all she cared about was the promise of fresh air in that corridor.

Sinister droplets of the belched oil burned Sunny's nostrils, being quickly absorbed by the mucus membranes in her eyes and wolfy scratches on her skin. A sharp pain took over her musculature, staggering the lumbering hulk into a toppling hazard. The Suel's biceps were stiff, like a sudden cramp that prefers only a short range of movements...and punishes all others. Her diaphragm had a dull numbness that limited breathes, making sustained efforts of athleticism more difficult. Still, it could have been worse. Sunny's fantastic metabolism managed to counter the assault of the tiny droplets, her physiology mounting a successful campaign to punctuate the inner space war.

He'd seen the artwork and the stone and assumed that the others would see and conclude similarly and they'd be off again. Hopefully the dead-end would mean a trip back to the camp where he could sleep or eat or both. As the others fussed with the stone, Armando found himself meandering around the artwork again. It still did not appeal to him, but he could see the craftsmanship in it. Someone had meant for it to be seen, he was sure of it. Given his relative difference in height to the rest of the party, he heard but did not notice the gas right away. When it did hit him, his eyes began to water and his joints began to ache. He pressed a hand against the wall to stabilize himself, which did well enough to keep him on his feet so that he could scramble into the secondary room with the others. Once in the second room, he fell to his butt and used the back of his fists to clear away his eyes. "It'sa dangerous to be here." He complained to no one. Once they were noticeably clear of the gas and gook, he pulled his hands away. The fists remained although he wasn't quite sure what he was angry about. He watched as the ratfolk moved about, keeping a close tab on him as he moved from space to spot to crevice. A thought occurred to him and his body moved even before he had any time to put words to it. He followed the ratfolk's original path, ensuring if a trap was triggered that it wasn't he that triggered it, and sought out one of the corners or the first alcove. There, he looked for spider webs or dead beetle carcasses. "Spider webs would mean bugs, which might mean nothing's in here to get us." He confidently remarked.

bwatford Posted April 12 Author Clone Share Posted April 12 Dungeons & Dragons 5e with DM BWatford Thodin stepped into the hallway, moving past the first alcove that housed an androgynous humanoid statue. He gave it a cautious glance but continued on, making space for those following him. Riffraff stumbled southward, his gaze sweeping over the stonework and the adjacent statue for any signs of trouble as he caught his breath once more. The impact of the poison was evident; it was designed to sap one's strength. The lingering question was, why use this particular type of poison? Why not employ one that would be lethal? Gathering the last of her strength, Allera clenched her teeth and propelled herself forward. The only words she could muster were "Fresh air!" accompanied by a hand wave towards the correct direction as she approached Thodin's location. Sunny met up with the others in the hall, shaking her head to clear it and taking deep breaths to purge her lungs of the gas from the previous chamber. An instinctive reaction seized Armando, his body acting before his mind could articulate the thought. He traced the ratfolk's initial route, careful to avoid triggering any traps himself, and aimed for a corner or the nearest alcove. Discovering Sunny concealed behind the scout, he chose to nestle in behind her, suspecting the alcove with the statues might be too cramped for him, and surmising it could be safer behind the sizable woman. Alatia emerged last from the chamber filled with gas, struggling to clear her eyes and lungs. She placed one hand on Allera's back and the other on Sunny, attempting to alleviate the effects of the gas. Thodin could peer into the darkness at the passage's end, which appeared to culminate in an intersection branching both east and west. From his current vantage point, that was all he could discern.
