Temple of False Gods

[Niachi]

Delighted by the whistle's effect, Niachi confirms the statues' positions behind the darkness by pointing as they follow the piper's song through the secret door. After all shuffling and casting and psionicing, the otherworldly Black coldness dissipates to leave this plane. Niachi picks up his Light marble and as long as Scrye has hers out, he will pocket it and draw his sword.

He pauses to let the the trap experts do their thing.

[DM Bob]

The door in the west wall is bronze, carries some light ornamentation and is barred from this side with a thin rod, slightly lower than the middle of the frame. The unseen pit is right before this door as well.

The door to the north is unbarred, and has more detailed abstract ornamentation, but no handle or lock. You assume it pushes open?

[Niachi]

The north door. Niachi sniffs the air and applies his studies to its decoration:
Planes Lore: Rolled 13, failed by 6.

He spits in its general direction, sheathes his blade, dances a fluid spin to cast another Prot. from Evil on himself.

He seems to be an a nonverbal mood, as elves are known to be in tactical situations.

[DM Bob]

You're pretty sure the door is on the Prime.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

“Hey Skrye can you let one of the statues push into this north door to see what the effect is. Everyone else let’s take a tactical step back.”

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Quila will describe the glyph on that door or scratch it into the sand of the floor with her staff if possible.

“The west door contains a pit trap in front of the door. That will most likely open up underneath the hapless soul who so happens to open the door by the thin rod.”

[AthasianLaborer]

'Muiko whispers to Quila [Elven: "Should I have an Unseen Servant open that barred door?"]

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Quila whispers in elven to what must be ‘Muiko nearby: ‘go ahead if everyone has taken some cover.’
Quila then walks out of the room, preparing for just that eventuality.

[AthasianLaborer]

'Muiko casts Unseen Servant.

[DM Bob]

The bar is lifted; the pit opens.

You might need the servant to open the door as well.

[DM Bob]

And you do so. Beyond the pit, there's a short five foot by five foot walk before it opens up into another room.

The pit before the doorway is about five feet wide and will require some caution weaving around... if that's what you wish to do.

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- "I could call for one of them but I'm worried that, if one perishes, we may have to bring other back" - in regards to call the constructs again

[DM Bob]

The pit is a twenty foot deep shaft, crudely worked and shored with ancient timber. It smells old. On the floor it looks like there's dozens of jagged spikes set at irregular angles. They look to be fashioned of wood or bamboo.

[Attilius]

The giant looks down at the bamboo spike pit "Yup, Criterion had dees too. Nasty! I's gots an idea, be right back..."

Attilius removes his shield, pack and gear to slim down. Grabs his invisible axe and bites down on the handle then shimmies his way back to the sunlight. He'll look for any trouble before he goes and retrieve the two doors he tossed, pulling them on their sides down the hallway and bringing them into the statue room.

He'll do the same with the crossbar. When all 3 items are within the statue room, he'll sheath his axe and grab one of the doors to carefully lay over the pit as a makeshift bridge.

"ill leave the second door and crossbar 'ere in case we need 'em. Can someone help me with my straps?" He'll then take his time to put all his armor back on.

[DM Bob]

That works. 6 rounds total to get the doors and put the armor back on.

The room that opens up before you is mirror in size to the chamber you just left. Except there are no doors.

To the left wall (south), there is a magnificent fresco scene played out upon the rock in aged plaster. Much like a 70's van with a sick fantasy drawing on it, there is a tower (perhaps the one just outside even) with a dark crimson and green robed figure raining flaming rocks upon a multitude of dying flame cultists. Bodies of burnt trolloc litter their feet. Behind it, a handsome man that wears a crown that matches Aman's, as well as a quartet of gigantic green troll-kin that look eager to fight, sneers readied. Two ugly mammoth-like creatures are in the background of the mural, with clouds of darkness and sinister lightning shadowing their charge. The face of the robed figure is scraped from the very wall as if by talon or fingernails.

Quila detects a trap in the floor to the North-West of the room. There are no other doors or egress apparent.
