D&D 5E Flamestrike and Stalker0's little adventure

15 + 7 = 22!

He's back.

If you're not mistaken, that glowing blue sphere looks like an Ioun stone. This one is one of insight; it makes you wiser and more perceptive. It can be used by simply tossing in the air, when it hovers about your head, and instantly attunes.

The other PCs dont mind if you take it. Do you want to?

Two. This is now three.

After collecting the treasure, your party breaks back into formation and heads to the stairwell in the far side of the room.

Descending it, you come down into a second large room; one that looks like it used to be a large temple area. A circle of pillars supports the roof and room above.

In the center of the room about 20' from you all you can all make out a 20' wide pentagram that looks as if it was recently drawn. Burnt down candles sit at each point of the pentagram and a foul stench permeates the air.

Twenty feet behind that, on the far side of the room, a door is set into the cliff wall that makes up the Northern edge of the temple.

Looking at the pentagram, you can make me an Arcana check.

Roll: 10 + 7 = 17.

 

[Flamestrike]

Roll: 10 + 7 = 17.

The circle is a summoning circle and its recent. Its clearly Abyssal in nature.

 

[Flamestrike]

The Fighter states 'dont touch nothin' as he directs the Rogue around the room, and the party start to edge around the circle to the door on the far side.

Is there anything you wish to contribute, say or do as the party moves?

 

[Stalker0]

The circle is a summoning circle and its recent. Its clearly Abyssal in nature.

Do I think its what summoned the hell hounds, or something else?

Also can I get a time check. I know we had to hurry to this temple, I'm trying to remember if there was a time (like dawn) we knew bad stuff was happening, or if its a nebulous (get through it as fast as humanly possible).

Something else. Something... bigger.

Midnight is when the ritual is due to be completed.

At a rough guess, a few hours from now. The sun set an hour or two before you reached the tower, plus mucking about, climbing the toweer, combat, searching stuff, dividing up treasure etc so you figure you have around 2 hours tops at this point till its completed.

You dont have a watch or the Keen Mind feat so II cant really be more precise than that.

@Stalker0 if there is nothing else you want to do, should we push on with the PCs edging their way around the summoning circle to the door at the far end of the room?
