Legacy of Death Part IV: Darker than the Absence of Light

ecayford · May 23, 2012

Forge pulls his magic hand axe and waits for the tendrils to appear to attack Ghen (readied action for when they do appear). Marks either way. Damage probably irrelevant.

Forge, you find throwing the axe and manning (dwarfing?) the rope to be a challenge...

The axe disrupts the tendrils, but it is not enough to overcome the shifters own lack of spryness. Ghen is hit and pulled into the necrotic rain (15 dmg). His strong instincts coming into play, he then pushes back off the wall. (end round, those who need a save can make one). He's gone down about 15 feet.

Yells up "Maybe something else"

Unrecognized glyphs and sigils, some vaguely reminiscent of holy symbols,flare with a violet light along the walls.

You know you have traveled from the mortal world(s) to the Sea Beyond the Stars and now are in what is sometimes known as an "outer plane". You aren't sure which one.

The hall ends in a closed door.

Forge will approach the door and examine it for traps and how it opens.

TerraDave · May 30, 2012

The door appears untrapped and can be opened normally.

ecayford · May 30, 2012

Forge will open the door.

What you see seems vaguely familiar.

A dark laboratory is cluttered with shelves and oversized tables strewn with equipment and scrolls. A faint haze of mist twists above three stone vats set across the chamber.

Nar-Heru scans the room (without entering) for any magical effects or residue. How does it compare to the previous version we've been in? More or less magic?

TerraDave · May 31, 2012

The contents of the vats are certainly magical...you would need to get closer to tell specifics.

The lab stuff on the table seems very interesting. You would probably like to learn more. But is seems more like parts of or tools for something rather finished magic items or anything like that.

And their is a creepiness here that somehow seems both deeper and more elevated then in Moil or (what could be called) the shadow tomb.
