Ain't no spring erdlu no more, the laments of a goliath

[Deleted]

Chat'cho casts a Find Traps spell, then sweeps the hall. If none are apparent on this door, she'll move on to the next door in search of the key.

[DM Bob]

That door is untrapped.

The next two doors detect as trapped.

The final door at the end has three locks but no trap.

Niachi asks you to wait for him before entering any doors.

Any other prep can happen in this span. I will post in the AM. -Bob

"Tra*, there and there." She points out the trapped doors and marks the floor in front of them with her claws.

[Coden Rokos (Jesse H.)]

Coden posts his spear and stands guard while Niachi casts his complicated spell.

[Niachi]

Niachi starts to say something as the group rises for a new day when Chat bounds off and everyone follows.

"Ah -"

<ping Kaw-Rawk:

Catch up with them, lead me to them when I finish here>

He fishes out a perfect obsidian orb the size of a cat's eye and casts Orb of Power then Energy Conduit, total of 2 turns casting. He returns the orb to a safe place in his belt. It is now a container for one spell slot beyond his daily allotment.
He will repeat this ritual daily during downtime.

He jogs to catch up, following his familiar's pings along the correct path.

Attilius flanks Coden's right side with gouge & shield and mimics the Centurions actions (overwatch, etc.)

<Ping Niachi "I am still here, unseen, less heavily obscured soon, but still here even if unseen">

Still invisible, 'Muiko will sit and sketch the scene as Attilius and Coden stand watch while Niachi casts his spells.  Artistic Ability rolled a 7 needing a 13 or less.

On our regrouping <Ping Niachi "Please let the others know that I haven't run off in terror of the dead thing">

Invisibility should still be active for most of the day, but he's not recasting Misdirection or Nondetection unless something happens that makes him feel it is necessary.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- "I'm honestly confused, although the most confusing part is" - looking at Niachi - "Is she bonded to that terms or all of us? Not that I'm planning to run away, which is not, but it's the first time I see someone like this.. Amman" - getting closer to the rod and looking at it from different perspectives - "I don't believe these will be submissive enough to allow be branded.. But, wouldn't be easier to raise the ones dispatched instead? These are already tamed and know this place and their master"

This branding iron is not a common sight on Athas. At the very least, not this one as it's entirely metal and not just the end like the one's Skrye has seen.

Chat was the only one brought to the Geas' terms.

There are many traps that have been detected as well as locked locks if the tari wishes to help deal with those.

From before:

That door is untrapped, but locked (the first one that Chat investigated).

The next two locked doors detect as trapped (he zig-zag-ed across the hall).

The final door at the end has three locks but no trap (the weird end door).

[Deleted]

Chat'cho points out the door that is locked and not trapped to Attilus. "This one is *rotected only *y a lock. No tra*. You should *e saxhe ixh you *atter it down."

[AthasianLaborer]

The sounds of scribbles and motes of chalk dust fill the air as 'Muiko casts Knock (with no pretense since he is Invisible) on the untrapped but single locked door.

<Ping Niachi "The untrapped door with one lock is now unlocked if someone else wanted to open it, when we're ready to investigate the room behind the triple locked door, I'll unlock that one too">

He will let someone else be first to enter and investigate but would also check things out for himself.

[Deleted]

If informed of the now-unlocked door, Chat'cho will approach it and nudge it open with her foot to see what's inside!

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Skrye was going to listen by letting her ear feel the sounds through before unlocking the door once she casts Barkskin in her

[OOC: Barkskin spell, 0AC, 12 rnds, failed Detect Noise roll]

[DM Bob]

A longer dark stone shelf or display sits towards the rear of this alcove-like room. Resting upon a dusty crimson velvet cushion sits a rusted staff, with a fist-sized gold flecked obsidian ball affixed to the head, greedily grasped in rusty wire.

A section of the floor shows as trapped to the druid's vision, some two steps into the room. You'd guess some sort of pressure plate.

The staff appears to be about 6 feet in length.

[AthasianLaborer]

Again the air is filled with chalk dust and the sound of scribbles as 'Muiko casts Detect Magic.

"Ooooh"  he lets slip from the doorway
