Gross victory: Myron's Tomb

[DM Bob]

The second path connected to the other hole leading into the bone room and splits to lead a tad further away before opening up into a room/small cave thick with crusty worm goo. It hangs like snot all about, some fresh, most dried... reminding you a bit of the tohr-kreen homes (but waaay more disgusting here).

There are no additional exits here, but you figure you could fit the number of disgusting worm-things you encountered between here and the corridors. They must have been on top of each other though doing vile worm things for a weirdly long amount of time.

Yuck.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Quila will take up a guarding position too with her quarterstaff but not before she casts another Know Age on the smaller remains.

[Deleted]

"Well, that ex*lains where THEY camme xhromm."

She'll turn around and go back to the bone room, then use the same procedure to check the last tunnel. While she's in the bone room, she'll inform the others of the chest she found in there.

"This way goes to the statue area. There is a chest in there. It is warded. Go and look when you can."

[DM Bob]

The littler bones are to the tune of 3,535-55 years old.

Chat informs the group of the layout and warded chest.

[Deleted]

Once she's done telling the others, Chat'cho will return to her standard form. She thrusts her arms into the air, attempting to cast a Dimensional Folding spell aimed at the area just behind the chest, past the wards, in the hope of getting to it that way.

Attilius pulls out one of his Balican 100' Giant hair ropes and ties a lasso knot at one end.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Skrye follows the party, silent but with interest from her changed of size as she speaks with Niachi - "I never thought to be taller than one of your kind, not even temporarily but... I'm a bit concerned with the little Tri-kreen running like mad all along... Is she possessed and looking forward to lead us to a trap opening and leaving open every single door she finds?
Because I'm starting to be hesitant about this... I'm not looking to be dispatched for childish behavior... I'm looking forward to tell stories, not to be part of a failed one" - in a low,serious but a bit stressed tone of voice


[OOC: Did Skrye turn back to her original size? I found the comment a bit confusing, as it seems that Chat'cho's weapons did not revert, neither her]

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Before anything happens with that chest being pulled into a room filled with bone shards and fragments, Quila warns everyone to fall back to the room before in case an explosion has the extra effect of making us all bone shrapnel pincushions. She will put the bones/skulls she has picked out from the bunch in a sack she takes out of her pack, planning later to also add the skull of the deceased shield bearer from the moldy room.

[DM Bob]

The tari did return to her original size - as well as any spell effects that had a duration of what did I say? Like 28-30 rounds from when you passed hallway or even longer if something was cast prior to that.

The dimensional folding does indeed work. The kreen is able to grasp the stone coffer if she wishes. No other markings are seen on the box itself.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- "Aww, it was nice to be the biggest Tari around!" - smiling with a smirk - "Mmmm... Let me see..." - Skrye looks at the ward, steps once back and mumbles a few divine words as her paws gesture in the air in front of her

[OOC: Those with Spellcraft may roll, if you succeed, it's a Dispel Magic. I rolled a 17 in the d20 dice]

At least for now the wards seem negated or at the very least temporarily nullified. I assume you are roping the chest and pulling it into the room?

Correct. The plan is to loop the lasso around the chest. Everyone will move out of the bones room. Attilius will then be just around the corner of the bones room doorway and carefully pull the chest into the bones room. 

Once the chest is in the room, the team can look for physical traps on the chest.

Attachments:

[Niachi]

Niachi packs up a few small skulls and long bones to add to his pack, asks his familiar to join him and take cover in other room as suggested.

[AthasianLaborer]

'Muiko will also gather up his belongings and his selection of bones (including at least one 'cremains skull') and move to the audience chamber.  He will lounge on a pew until the chest is in the room and then going to inspect things prior to opening and investigating the contents.

[DM Bob]

Your paranoia at this point seems unjustified.

The stone coffer is easily transported to the bone room. Nothing explodes, reacts or otherwise causes any apparent harm or the like.

There are no locks and it looks like the lid will come off if a little elbow grease is put into it.
