Sim moves next to the human. As a basic range arrack, he throws the batorian (non-magical) dagger at the zombie on the right. (OOC: didn’t add an item bonus to the attack roll but I believe you mentioned that it might be +3 for ranged attacks). (38 vs. AC).

Human, it appears to be the storm that is causing the blast. After seeing the sequence of attack, axe glow and blast, Sim tries to determine the trigger of the blast (Arcana – 37 (minor action?). Sim still plans to move and attack.

Simorai: Init 21, Stealth - 27

Sim tries to camouflage/cover his cloak with some of the grey dirt around here. He wraps the cloak around himself and moves off to one side of the open mouth trying to keep under cover and within 10 squares of Buckthorn. He has the Ruinblade in hand.

The storm appears to be of eldritch origin. From behind cover if possible, Simorai studies the storm(arcana – 24 (rolled a 1)). He tries to determine if the storm is dangerous if entered, e.g., zapped by the white fire, etc. From a distance, he also scans the area (perception - 33). Does the...

You have not offended me human. The gloom of this place, the task ahead, and the loss of a comrade weight heavy upon me. Also your gregarious manner is unaccustomed to me. I’ve been a soldier in the service of the Sultan all my life that is ever since my loving parents sold me into servitude...

Sim smiles (compliment? At least Nar was intelligent) and extends his arms outward as if to embrace Forge and Buckthorn: It seems your prayers have been answered human. Sim does not enter the stone hovel. He has seen enough. Make haste and gather your belongings and pet. There is no time to...

Well, human, you have the optimism of a privileged, untested youth and the tongue of a noble or priest, i.e., you speak much but whether anything spoken is of consequence is nebulous. Nevertheless, if Buckthorn vouches for you so be it. Can you tell us anything further that may be useful about...

Halfling are trusting souls. It’s a wonder they are not extinct. Simorai turns to the human; I am Simorai Calborian from the City of Brass. So you’ve lost your way and companions, but your story is not so unique. We are all but pawns in the games of Gods and Ascendants. There is a new...

Sim whispers to the others before they go in, I believe that this human comes from a xenophobic world that fears non-humans. It surprising that he is even talking to us. It’s probably due some madness caused by prolonged solitude and the gloom of this world. It might be best to say little and...

An odd fellow – see what I mean about lingering in this plane too long. Proper etiquette would dictate an introduction before an invitation into his abode. But despite the lack of decorum, he seems affable enough. Sim tries to recall if he has heard of Akronas, Dimmaria or any myths about a...

OK, but we need to stay focused. There is no time to dally with small, insignificant things. At least you have shown some good sense not to be constantly running off to polish your small hand axe.

We continue to examine and search the surrounding while moving toward the shape. Can we make out any details of the shape? In a hushed voice, Forge, where has the Halfling disappeared to again? Last time I saw him he was talking to himself something about “his precious.”

Sim will silently signal back to the others to keep quite (assuming Forge does not trip down the stairs). If available, he looks for cover and slowly moves (avoiding the rubble) to get a better look at the gardens and grounds. Are there any paths that look like they lead to a structure of any...

Well it seems that humans have some use after all. Lets move along while our good fortune lasts. Sim waits for them but moves down the stairs to get a peek of what lies ahead.

I said trap but not the kind that can be disabled. I’m thinking more of a construct (likely of blade and bone) that animates on a trigger and then goes dormant. Such things must be distroyed or avoided. But enough of theories, stay back out of sight just in case. Sim picks a route to...

The pattern is vague but I believe that when someone enters the courtyard the piles of blades will animate and attack. (This also appears to have happened to the human that entered here.) The trap then resets itself which suggests that it’s bound here and may not follow up the stairs. (How...

Without approaching the red mist, Sim tries to determine if the red mist is harmful (arcana - 32). From a distance, do the human footprints look like they end here or continue to the stairs beyond and do the large uneven footprints look like they originate from within the courtyard or from the...

(Sim is OK but the group heals up to the extent needed) Sim mutters to himself couldn’t be a panther shaman. What would a nature freak be doing here? We can avoid it no longer; a hero’s task and a martyr’s reward await us. I have studied the tomes and scrolls in the old library and see...

(The list of things is from the tables in Analyze Portal ritual that can be learned based upon an arcana check of 42) I have learned much through my incantation. This is the fabled Portal of Ash. It was created by long forgotten archmages and hierophants. These stairs lead to the tombs we...
