Folding into New Kurn for a breather...

Quila gets a necklace of teeth, some cracked from the halflings attempts at carving patterns

"Thank you Umbris for your thoughtful present, an urgent call to remember where I came from." Quila says earnestly to the small man before tousling his hair.

[DM Bob]

Quila first casts three detection spells in the following order: Find Traps (lvl 2) (3 turn dur.), Detect Poison (lvl 1) (18 round dur.), and Detect Magic (lvl 1) (1 turn dur.)

Quila will then scout these locations using Clairvoyance, power manipulated for sound too, in the morning while the group stands gathered ready for imminent return:

The room of the sarcophagus with the small lake below

The room itself is unchanged. The only poison detected is the ichor that still remains on the hallway floor where it hit Attilius. It's a damned shame that the wall mural/fresco was destroyed due to the blasts of electrical energies.

Then, depending on the state of that room (whether the sarcophagus has been opened), will blip the pov to under the lid, in the worm tunnel, and at the water

Here, it is much the same. It is NOT a lake, but extending your senses below, it seems that some ten feet down under dirty water the 5 foot radius "well", a stone ring is set into some sort of plug in the floor. Looking beyond that is dry pitch blackness... except for three pairs of eyes that float about in a savage up and down motion. You hear guttural chanting of a long dead language. You assume that it's a room and you think there's another stone coffin or raised dais. It's just hard to see by the dim light of their sinister eyes.

The hallway where the 90feet drop comes out, so with the capstan and where the other way leads into the room with the chariot

Little if anything has changed.

The room with the chariot, where she will also try to put pov to just under the lid to see whether those lead into whole separate ecologies too

Little if anything has changed. The ball of smaller snakes remain in place. Each coffin hides a single mummified corpse, with death masks that are not of gold. It is also hard to see, but there is is no egress below to be seen.

The room with the throne and some snake statues

The two naga statues have returned, but the coloration has remained. They hiss back and forth and the tails twitch. They seem to be listening as well, perhaps now more "on alert" than before. You assume that these are the two bastages you fought before.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

In the room under the small water pool that has some stopper for a ceiling, Quila sees what she presumes are the three undead suggesting possessing bodies before doing some crazy ritual which to her understanding can’t be any good. She focuses her mental energies upon a set of red eyes and manifests Wrench upon it to disrupt the ritual at the very least.

(OOC: I rolled an 8 on activation for a success. One of those red eyes is out of the Prime Material for 2d6 turns.)

[DM Bob]

The spirit goes missing! Howls and cusses are heard as well as a booming voice from the trapped middle part that they were dancing about.

"THE FLAME TOUCHED ARE AT IT AGAIN! AMAAAAAAAAN!!! HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN!!!"

A familiar floating head appears with it's death toothed grin.

"Brother. I will not have your vestige take away everything that I have so paid dearly for. There is a limit to blood."

Screams ensue.

Aman sighs and the projected head disappears into the dark. It had briefly lit the room for you to notice a scorpion cornered stone coffin in the middle of the chamber. The two other pairs of eyes squint menacingly and snarl in reply.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

A big grin comes to Quila's sweating and concentrating face and a victorious shriek "Hah, got you, you bodysnatching ghoul."

Quila will then mutter her observances of the momentarily illuminated magically trapped and poisoned sarcophagus to her team, as well as the verbal altercation between the brothers with Aman basically saying "whatever dude, done with your worm obsessions" to his brother.

In the room itself she lets loose another Wrench on the second pair of eyes. If she gets the chance she will also get rid of the third one next.

(OOC: Rolled a 2 for success, and another 6 for success. Let me know how many rounds of Clairvoyance this goes up to. I'll edit my PSPs and include the Wrenches too.)

[DM Bob]

All three spirits have been temporarily banished. Clairvoyance is up to five rounds.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

(OOC: edited PSP usage. 84/146 remain, and the 40 in the headdress.)

Quila will be seen by her fellow team as very very smug and satisfied, her big grin remaining. She puffs a bit, and spurts out "The three red eyed spirits are banished for now. I am gonna try to do the same to Myron to immobilize or shut him down so we can more easily get the mask."

Quila then moves her viewpoint to inside the sarcophagus, she still has all three detection dweomers active that can give her useful information. If she sees anything she thinks is the former Champion, she will instantly try to Wrench.

(OOC: I powerscore effect my Wrench, 20 on a 19-20 powercheck. That means creature is dazed, -2 to initiative next round if applicable.)

[DM Bob]

Except that Quila cannot see her target well enough in the dark of the granite coffer.

He is screaming and then arcane chanting begins.

[DM Bob]

Quila sees a thrashing, gesturing, speaking, dark robed body wearing a gold tentacled mask within the confined area. As she tries to wrench it and it simply does not effect Myron. Eerie green and purple light shines within soon after and the granite lid begins to crack.

The points for wrench are still spent however.

[AthasianLaborer]

In the morning, 'Muiko casts Strength on Attilius (for 2), Coden (for 5) and Niachi (for 7).  These will last for 9 hours.

As Quila is remote viewing and narrating her wrenching attempts, 'Muiko will cast Enlarge on Coden and then Niachi in the following round. 


Idea being that all of 'Muiko's contributions to party buffing will hopefully be complete prior to folding in.

[Niachi]

Niachi bows thanks to Umbris and proudly decorates his non-ringed hand with the bone jewelry. Bone ring on black gloved hand and black stone ring on pale bare hand. - perfect balance.

"Magnificent!"

It is unclear if he means the halfling or himself.

As 'Miuko boosts his STR to 17, he tries one burly practice swing with his sword, then packs up and casts to sync with their departure:

Enchant Weapon on the goliath's gouge: CON roll 18 (fail)
He grunts and doubles over in pain, taking 2 damage. The spell slot is burned. Dusts himself off and tries for:

Cat's Grace on Coden: CON roll 2 (success) 8 hours: +3 to Dex.

He shrugs to Atillius:

"No Magik blade today. Should we oil up against fire as one last precaution?"

As Quila does speak out what she is doing and is observing would it be all that weird for the spellcasters in the group to be able to gauge what Myron is casting?

[DM Bob]

Myron seems to be trying to dispel magic on something. Since it is unlikely on the trapped portion of the coffer, you can only assume it's directed at unseen wards.

[Quila Oris (John M.)]

Conveying her concerns that Myron is about to break through the remaining wards in place and get out of his sarcophagus to her team, she says with a slight quaver of anxiety in her voice, "Are you all ready and prepared? Are you willing to come with me through a Dimensional Fold into the chamber of that sarcophagus and take on Myron? To combat his spellcasting my first option would be to Silence the area. It does have drawbacks of course."

[Attilius]

[Assuming the group is about to go Go GO:]

Attilius nods as he pops a finger lime into his maw, chews and swallows. He slides his right hand down towards his massive calf (the group knowing what he's holds by now.)

The brute holds up his tower shield and says "Ready!"
