Okay so what if we use the cool steam that comes off the bonfire when it interacts with the frogs aura? It'll float to the top, where the missile holes are located. Maybe if we can create a smokescreen of cold that'll blind the heat sensors. If we can get the frogs to come along with us like...

Hmmmm based on what our DM posted for Zeth's arcana roll, I have an idea if he doesn't. But Alma doesn't have that information so I'd have to share it out of game, if that's okay? But I'll wait and see if Zeth has any thoughts.

I think the deception plan is good, we just need to get past this trapped hallway. Regardless we need to get through there, and we don't wanna have to deal with it while fleeing if the deception goes south.

Alma nods. "Pleasure to meet you, Krrrr-koh-ah-kwat," she returns in Deep Speech. She turns back to Zeth, "It's name is Krrr-koh-ah-kwat."

"My apologies. If we can find any good meat we will bring it back," Alma offers. "I am Alma Ostergaard, by the way. If you possess an identifying title or sound by which I can refer to you, it would be polite to inform us." Switching back to Common, she relays the developments. "It seems...

"Understood," Alma nods. She turns back to the frog and calls out in Deep Speech, "Our meat is toxic. If you consume us, you will die. Let us pass and we will cause no harm."

Alma startles a little, surprised to actually get a response. Her brows furrow, trying to parse the meaning. She already has enough trouble interpreting language in the common tongue. People are so prone to metaphor and slang and colloquialism. The frog takes an extra second. "Glum glum is the...

Aside from demolishing Jack's snowman, the toads definitely seem non-hostile for now. Their behavior has piqued Alma's interest. Unfortunately, she isn't well-versed in creatures. Her expertise lies a little further up. Still, if it's a subterranean creature, there's a small chance it could...

Ah thanks! I thought about that, but it says the target needs to share a language and I kind of assumed the toad didn't? But I could give it a try just for the heck of it. Not like it's limited by recharge.

Not unless it speaks Common, Deep Speech, or Undercommon lol. Maybe our resident druid?

Alma sticks close to the wall, senses perked and ready to act [Readying Mind Sliver for if the creature attacks]. Since Jack has already given away their presence, she has no qualms calling out, "It seems like an animal. It's unlikely it understands your attempts to parlay. We need to either get...

"It's an appropriate precaution," Alma agrees. "It may not affect the trigger if it happens to be a pressure plate. There's no way to guarantee you'll hit the correct area. But I see no harm in experimentation."

Still figuring it out, but right now I'd say utility lol. Specifically in the obtaining of information.

"Well done," Alma hums. "Unfortunately, my ability to detect magical energies has worn off, so I can't offer any information about what's on the other side. Unless someone else can, I suggest we proceed in a defensive formation. Alternatively, I can provide mental communication if someone wants...

I think Alma would vote for having the dwarves take Rurm back to safety and then continue on with Brydum. We still have a guide and Rurm isn't in danger. Alternatively, we could continue with Brydum and have the others hunker down in this area while we continue ahead and have them rejoin us in...

My only concern with a long rest would be that the area might not be secure. Plus if we're trying to hurry, it's a long chunk of time to be out. But we could at least try to rest until everyone is back on their feet.

As everyone is patched up and catches their breath, Alma scans the room for anymore sign of arcane danger. "The circle has lost its magic. I believe it's inert now. However," with things more or less stable, she takes the time to examine the scroll and the chalice. Cautiously, she bends down and...

Alma shields her eyes from the magic's light. Hunkering down near the statue while lightning crackles about the room. She startles as Rurm is hurled over towards her but doesn't dare to move from her spot until the circle has died down. At Zeth's direction, she cautiously approached the downed...

Alma is distracted momentarily by the magic emanating from this corner of the room. Her eyes flit over it, and she reaches to grab the scroll. But before she can take the time to decipher any of it, she senses the magic in the circular room ramping up. There's an inevitability in the air. Like...

@Quickleaf Can I free action call to the others to let them know about the circle?
