[LPF] Mopping Up

[Scott DeWar]

Herr Heinrich Schreibersen-Wizard 5

Heinrich racks his brain as to what to do with the alter artifact.

OOC: ya know, I don't think this dice roller likes me

Ni sits on a small rock, contemplating the object for a few minutes, then hops up. "I'm going to summon Lu."

Upon being summoned, Lu shudders slightly in the object's presence. The eidolon is not a fan. Still, it maintains its composure. "Lu, m'boy, would you mind searching the back room there for something worth finding? Anything of note would be of note." Lu trundles off on its rather vague mission, while Ni returns to his uncharacteristically-silent contemplations.

"I wonder how one would destroy the sucker?"

[sblock=OOC]Lu Perception + Guidance: 1d20+9=29 It'll be looking for anything interesting in the priest's chambers.

Any ideas on how to destroy the thing? I'm not sure if my last knowledge roll would be applied to the gleaning of this information; if not, I can roll again, or ss can roll for me.

It's too heavy to move. We could send someone back to Silverton to contact Andolyn - how long would that take, ss? Might not be practical.

I'm obviously open to other tacts, but so far they seem few in coming, at least for me. [/sblock]

Arianna continues to hide outside the room for a little longer. When Ni wonders how to destroy it, "I ain't touching it. Anything that can swallow up summoned beasts can be left alone." Teq is rather intimidated by the alter and not going to take anything for chance. They spend their time healing up the damage Teq received.
[sblock=actions]cast Lesser Rejuvenate Eidolon twice, back to full hp, out of summoner spells[/sblock][sblock=ooc]No idea what to do with it. Too big to move. We don't have the firepower to collapse the room and bury it. So, leaving sounds good to both Arianna and Teq.[/sblock][sblock=XP]Is the battle done enough that we earn our XP? Arianna should be somewhere within about 300 xp of leveling and has DMCs to burn.[/sblock]

OOC: personally, it scares the fecal matter out if me.

Heinrich just shakes his head and takes a step bak. "not sure."

OOC: still waiting to know if a 16 Know arcana gives any thing. Alsl trying Know: religeon, and planes

Heinrich reaches the same conclusions that Ni did, that it resembled some of the minor tasks that Andolyn had requested help with. Lu finds nothing of immediate value in the room, though the clothes and such may be useful in tracking down who these freaks were, between the symbols and the tools considered sacred enough to store here. It would take about a day of hard travel to reach Silverton from here. Just to save time, an extended search of the living quarters yields only some papers written in some strange language found in the suite you believe belonged to the two tieflings. Ni and Heinrich are able to make the educated guess that it is probably some form of Abyssal, and that was probably what the final ritual was spoken in as well.

Tonris is able to piece together a few more bits about what just happened. They seemed to be using the modified wall of force to contain and than trap the rest of the magic inside the altar in an effort to create what to them would have been a holy(or unholy as the case may be) relic that they could base their services and rituals upon.

 

[DalkonCledwin]

OOC: sorry, stuff in real life just came up and I kind of became unable to post easily. I am also curious about our XP for that last encounter.

 

[sunshadow21]

It isn't over yet. You still have to figure out how to deal with the altar.

 

[DalkonCledwin]

It isn't over yet. You still have to figure out how to deal with the altar.

OOC: In that case if you wouldn't mind too horribly, I would like to make a couple of checks and inquiries myself.

The first thing Tonris does is attempt to determine if there is any writing on the Altar. If so he will ask one of the other mages if they have "Read Magic" Prepared, and if so suggests that they cast it in hopes of deciphering any magical writing on the Altar. If not, then he will attempt to decipher it using more mundane methodology. With that done, and knowing that the Altar absorbs any magic pointed at it directly, Tonris doesn't even bother to attempt to cast Detect Magic at the Altar. He instead tries to determine the exact nature of the altar from a variety of different sources of information provided to him via his training as a witch on the Isle of Ille Esse. Tonris also attempts to translate the papers that were found in written in what is assumed to be abyssal.

Then once his initial examination of the altar is concluded, Tonris asks the Altar "Are you intelligent enough to speak?"

 

[sunshadow21]

The knowledge checks I had rolled already and were what gave you the previous information.

Examining the documents confirm your suspicion, but lack the one critical element, the precise spell that did the actual entrapping of the other magic. The altar itself continues to have the swirly surface, but there is little else you can learn from the altar itself short of directly touching it.
