Phyrric Legacy - Shackled City IC Thread

[Land Outcast]

"No way Flannad, we want you standing" Remen answers in a no-nonsense tone "no need to try your luck... we'll have enough of that with he skulks" and adds a tired smile to close... which he manages to make disappear quickly.

"We should move to the tunnels now..."

"Well, there is that 'U' door in the large room with the lights."

Remen nods at Jon, "as long as we do it with no further loss of time..."

 

[Legildur]

Flannad shrugs his shoulders. It is apparently relatively easy to shift Flannad's attention and change his mind. "Okay then. The 'U' door it is," he says with a flash of teeth as he draws out the key for that door. He immediately sets out for the 'U' door in the previous large room and opends the door using the key.

Jon takes the crystalline stone into his hand and inspects is closely. "Magical, perhaps? I have not the means to detect these auras, but perhaps Master Liracor...?"

"Oh, I'll take a look at it, if you like." Dowlee looks over to Jon and Liracor, but stays close to Flannad. She's making sure he's okay first.

Flannad immediately sets out for the 'U' door in the previous large room and opends the door using the key.

Dowlee doesn't like Flannad's moving around in this state, but she doesn't say anything--they need to move on.

(OOC: I'm going to take a liberty here, on behalf of Question, so Dowlee can save her spell slot...)

As the group prepares to move on, Liracor takes the clear, spindle-shaped stone from Jon, and concentrates for a few moments.

Liracor Spellcraft Check (1d20+7=19)

Once finished concentrating, he nods in confirmation...this stone is indeed magical, having a moderately strong aura. Liracor reveals that he believes it to be an ioun stone that will allow its bearer to be sustained without food or water. It needs only be released to float in orbit around its user's head.

(OOC: I've taken some liberties with the spellcraft check, I know, but it's more fun if you guys get to use the goodies you find. You'll have to decide for yourselves who gets to use the stone, though.)

With that business out of the way, the party proceeds back to the hall of dancing lights, and allows Flannad to examine the 'U' gear door. All seems well, so the gnome proceeds. With the proper key inserted, the door opens easily, and reveals the contents of the room beyond.

Within, three human-sized beds stand againt the south wall. Other furnishings include a table and four chairs, and a carved dresser. Based on the size of the furnishings, it seems that this may have been a guest room.

"No children. Let us search for further keys but not tarry more than that requires."

 

[Legildur]

"Not so fast," says the now extra-cautious Flannad. He spends some time scanning the room for hidden dangers, including the floor immediately inside the door for traps. If all clear, then he'll proceed to enter the room and search it.

 

[stonegod]

"No children. Let us search for further keys but not tarry more than that requires."

"We shall not linger any more than necessary, Sir Arak."

Jon plays with the magic stone absently in his hands. He knows one of his other companions could us it, perhaps Remen or Sir Arak, and he would suggest as much. He just hoped no one thought that he, as being among the weaker in the party, would need it to maintain his strength. The scholar had many secrets that he was not quite ready to share yet, and his ability to go without food and water was one of them. People we afraid of different things, and he did not need them turning on him.

 

[Question]

"No tunnels, door securely locked......looks secure, but you never know." Liracor surmises as he moves the latern over, closer to the doorway.

 

[Jdvn1]

"Everything clear?" Dowlee stands behind Flannad as he does his search--just in case--and, when everything's clear, she enters and starts to look for more keys. She can't help but be paranoid about poisons, though.
