SnorLoska watched carefully from a distance as Pyrus placed the Idol in the alcove while Sesto ran for cover.

OOC: I thought it was that it would be hard to do it without being "seen" by the lead eye, did I miss something? Anyway, psion to the rescue

The Unseen Murderer Idol floated into the niche by the power of Pyrus' mind. It sat comfortably, and for a moment everyone held their breath. When nothing terrible occurred, they began to carefully move forward. The eye that had been subtly tracking movement before appeared (when you understood how to spot its movement) to be quickly glancing about, looking for trouble, but unable to see.

Udit exclaimed softly "The eye... the eye was the clue! Bet you all wished we thought of that earlier eh? Well, onward - uh - let me check first"
investigate check for traps at eye door and beyond: 1D20+6 = [6]+6 = 12
Well I don't see anything... no pun, uh, tended
Perception check - listen at the eye-door: 1D20+7 = [4]+7 = 11
Don't hear nothing either.... it's clear! ... I hope

Location: The Inner Vault Encounter: StoneFaces
Udit shrugged, the closest he could come to calling 'all clear, so Terrus opened the doors to the Inner Vault. The polished walls of the inner chamber rose fifty feet into the air, interrupted only by a tall, broad platform. Sealed ossuary vaults were set into the walls at regular intervals. In the centre of the chamber, a deep rift cut the floor of the room in two. Around the chamber, short round platforms pulsed with energy, and in each one stood a stone-faced cultist, prepared to defend the room from intruders.
Terrus could 'hear' the Diamond Staff calling to him: "The Dracolich's true lair lies at the bottom of the rift before you! I, and the elemental node, are down there with him! You must hurry, the dragon will soon defeat me in psychic combat, and then he will awaken and be in full possession of both my power, and the power of elemental earth! Surely the civilised world will then fall before his terrible might!"

It wasn't immediately obvious, but to varying degrees everyone came to understand that the stone-faced men had once been human dragon cultists. Either through favour, or as a punishment, the Dracolich had used whatever power he could take from the elemental earth node to bless (or perhaps curse) them with elemental power. It made them extremely durable and added to their already considerable magical abilities. On the other hand, they appeared to have little in the way of individual personality remaining.
These stood in their colourful magical fields and began to launch a furious assault at the intruders.
