2 out of 3 locks are locked... Myron's tomb

[Niachi]

(@bob: any result of Planes Lore success, and reading the runes on the cellar doors?)

[DM Bob]

The runes on the cellar doors are not readable by the shadow elf. And the little bit he knows about such cults is that they might worship something that lives beyond the known planes.

But it ain't elemental, the Black or Grey... slight chance that something Astral is involved given the psurlon connection.

[Niachi]

Niachi steps back and rubs his eyes after the strain. Lingering streaks of those runes linger in his eyelids. He shakes his head as if to rid unwanted visitors. Pointing at the sealed doors:

"The door runes are -how do dwarves put it, above my pay grade. Anyone else have a crack at them. I confirm we can remove the Grey, the Black, and the Elements from what the doors lead to. Maybe Astral. Psurlon's domain,  If the likes of Amman had this portal sealed to this degree, hypothesis 1 is that he had reasons to court the worm god's summoners, who invited psurlons, who proved too spicy to deal with BY AN ANCIENT UNDEAD WIZARD.


Hypothesis 2: The chests contain tools to use against the cultists/psurlons/worse things from the Astral.
Hypothesis 3: (pacing as he compiles his ideas) Myron did all this for completely different reasons. They are rivals. An escape route for Amman, thwarted by his brother..."

[Attilius]

"I don't know what Hi-poth-is-es means but I say: FOUR, we grab everything ABOVE the ground and leave that massive door the fuck alone."

[Niachi]

'Muiko said unseen:

"Oh, come look at what I've found"

Niachi sets his jaw and refocuses on the opened chest.

[DM Bob]

[After discussing with Michael which other lock he wanted to pop with Knock, here you go.]

#1: No trap; no magic detected - 160 silver coins, well tarnished & a thick gold ring (does not detect as magical)

#2: No trap; no magic detected - 2,012 silver coins, equally well tarnished

[DM Bob]

#3: Magic and trap detected within

#4: Chest trapped. No magic detected

#5: Chest trapped. Magic detected within

Still magic detected on the welded chain door.

[AthasianLaborer]

[Elven: "Fuck!  It's just silver!  I was hoping for more books."]

"I can open two more locks before sleep, untrap two of them and I will open them.  Might I suggest the trapped and magical ones?". 'Muiko is pointing at chests #3 and #5 for those who might see him.

[Attilius]

Giving a wide birth around the things still trapped, Attilius will cautiously close, then grab the 2 coin chests, lioness statue and rolled rugs and place them into his pack.
[Bob can I get a weight for each item above please]

He'll then check the walls, ceiling and floor for hidden doors (staying away from the trapped chests and chained ground doors)

[DM Bob]

1 coin = 1/20 of a pound. Just these coins around 180 pounds.

Each chest: 30 pounds with no contents.

Each of the four rugs: 45 pounds each.

Terra cotta lioness: 185 pounds.

No secret doors located here.

[Attilius]

As the goliath tries to lift his giant sized pack he realizes it's becoming a bit too heavy for his liking...
Attilius goes and drains his Sparkletts^® water cooler sized water skins in the room that he died in (making sure not to trigger the trap or step inside though)



"Wunder if those other chests are going to have more coin..." he says to himself rubbing his stubbled chin

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

"I agree 'Muiko, let's open these two chests first then." Quila waggles her fingers towards #3 and #5

She steps back a bit and goes to Skrye and says "I can assist you again when you try to remove the traps on those chests with a casting of Moment again."

Quila will also inspect the inscription above the welded chained door to see whether she can make sense of it. Does the writing seem like anything she has encountered within the tomb so far, or is it different entirely?

(OOC: obviously using my Chronicler kit's ability to be able to decipher Ancient/Unknown languages, 56% chance)

[DM Bob]

Much like the inscription on the shield you now carry, It’s a shared tongue, from some of the cleansed humanoid races deemed impure by the Warbringer. Sometimes referred to as Goblyn, it was used also by other so-called “evil” or “tainted” races to communicate.

This is a warning from races not prone to fear.

"Wrath Trolls of Tnor'morken beneath. Angry even in Death."

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Quila gulps, turns around to face the group, looking shaken.

"Uhm. We best leave this door shut. This warning in Goblyn reads 'Wrath Trolls of Tnor'morken beneath. Angry even in Death.' and I don't feel like finding out how angry."

You see Quila pensive, then she asks, "But, how strange for a warning like that in a language used by those who used to live in this Tnor'morken."

Quila turns around again and casts a Know Age to determine the age of the door / chain structure.
