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

[DM Bob]

The staff glows of enchantment, necromancy and alteration magics.

Chat'cho points out the pressure plate on the floor, specifying its dimensions to the others. Once this is done, she'll use her racial ability to leap in order to cross the room and approach the staff, without yet touching it. She'll turn towards the others. "Do you think this one is cursed, too?"

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

In the early morning just like any others, Quila will have done her prayers towards her liege of Kurn in order to receive anew the power to serve in His Missive.

Scrye said:

- "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"

Niachi catches up to be somewhere behind the druid.

As Scrye scoots back from the opened door he replies to the tari softly:

"The strength of Amman's command is going to be strong. If we each did not feel reasons to obey him, guessing it's just on her?" 

Spellcraft roll:

16, needed 16 or less.

After more chalkdust and the vocalized 'ooooh' he whispers theatrically to the team:

"Our artist is here, cloaked not fled, as we just heard. I suggest being more careful going foward than before!"

Attilius looks at Niachi with his eyes bulging out that clearly states: NO SHIT!

He'll pull out his Trikal, hold it at it's very end and stand as far as way as possible so that the weapons end hooks are 12' away from him. He'll then step 10' to the left at an angle to minimize his position to anything jetting straight outwards from the room be it a harmful element or gas. He'll then make sure everyone is aware and out of the vicinity before hooking the obsidian staff and pulling it out.

Chat'cho is going to get the sweet mother of fuck out of the room before any of this occurs, and probably halfway down the hallway. On her way out of the room, she'll jump just like how she got in, and then hightail it halfway up the hallway.

[Niachi]

((Attilius looks at Niachi with his eyes bulging out that clearly states: NO SHIT!))

"Sorry, my sarcasm was misread. I know you're careful!"

[DM Bob]

The rusted iron staff clatters to the ground and needs to be dragged back to the doorway.

This makes a helluva noise. Like a fingernails scratching a blackboard. You are able to secure it if you wish. Will Attilius be picking it up?

With a loud sigh of relief he drags it over to him with his Trikal hooks, away from the trap door but makes sure not to touch it.
"Someone check it for magikal traps" he says as he walks away into the robes room away from the doorway, sheathing his Trikal.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

“Before we pick it up or touch it, allow me to investigate it further,” Quila intercedes, stepping forward a few steps in the direction of the half-giant while donning some leather gloves.

If allowed Quila will first approach it prodding a bit with her quarterstaff, moving forward closer to the staff, first twisting it around with her dagger and all the while trying to make sense of this staff (I take it the enchanment necromancy and alteration school information got shared) and also trying to see if it has any identifying marks on it, however small they may be.

(OOC: activating Safe Path before doing all this, rolled 2 on 20: success manifesting, and using my knowledge abilities again. Twice a 40% chance.)

"Ixh there was a mmagical tra*, mmy Xhind Tra*s s*ell would haxhe shown it. The only thing you haxhe to worry a*out is a curse!"

[AthasianLaborer]

<Ping Quila "It is enchanted with charms, necromancy and transmution.  I am also quite interested in studying this">

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

<Ping back to ‘Muiko: ‘Thanks for the heads up on its magical makeup. I want to see if the staff makes sense to me historically or if I can place it within a certain practice or period I have knowledge of. Maybe it even has some maker or owners sigil.’>

[DM Bob]

Both Quila and Scrye have heard of such weapons. The unnatural construction and worked metal are the very bane of nature. Stories of druids and fae being crippled by such things in the hands of Wyan and his cohorts are still muttered under breath... but mostly by surviving members of the druidic path.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

”Yes this does look like one,” Quila mutters, then speaks more loudly, ”The same worked metal and dread obsidian as that one depicted in the book I once read on the war on the druids that took place, but even before then on all kinds of fae by the one named Wyan amongst others. Vile evil defilement of so many lives lost.”

She stands, visibly shaken, and adds, “We need to destroy it or make sure this doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.”
