    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    "I suppose that is true," replies Torrent, "but is this place not supposed to be some Pyromancer's Tomb? I imagine we'll find bones and dust behind that strange door rather than Lee, but I am willing to try anything."

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Torrent takes out her blanket and wraps it around the female elf. "No," replies the scout to Arnir's question, clutching the blanket around her, "he gave no details, just told the Inquisitor he was leaving with a wand or something. The Inquisitor didn't even seem to listen or respond ... so...

    "Am I in need of healing?!", she blurts out, "are you retar- ....." she struggles against the straps again, willing herself to calm down. "Please ... let me out of this chair." Her eyes are welling up. "Yes I saw the man you describe ... he came in a number of hours ago ... at least I think...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    "My....my name is Faquaniel ... I don't know the other guy except he is the only other one left. I'm a scout for ... for Shahalesti. My master tried to teleport us out of Seaquen and back to our ships at sea. We ended up here, in cages." She pauses to catch her breath. "They killed him ...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    "There are simple prayers and spells that bestow protection from the elements, such as fire," muses Torrent, "which may be sufficient to protect against the effects of the broken torch ... perhaps if one is travelling for a very short distance? I can't be sure though as only a few of my prayers...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Arnir, the monolith radiates strong Abjuration magic and is a rather complex magical device. In short, it is a teleportation beacon linked to a series of immobilizing trap-like spells which trigger on a contingency. In detail, the stone operates as follows: any creature teleporting to or from...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Kirio, the properties and functions of the glass bottle elude you. You also don't know too much about the monolith, but you're sure its made from an alchemically-crafted material called Opalite, which is generally used as a focal component for magical beacons. The prisoner doesn't flinch or...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Bannock, the door swings inward with force, cracking against the stone wall on the other side. The sound of flowing lava, melting rock and blazing fire fills your ears and orange light paints you in a hellish glow. This chamber is the same raw rock near the entrance to this complex, and...

    Hey there, We're just waiting on Mirth's judgement of match 4 before we proceed. We want to make sure that all judges weigh in for each match so as not to have our critiques spread all over the place in a confusing manner. Should be soon. Hold fast friends.

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Arnir, you tumble out the contents. A number of items are clearly spell components, but there is also a heavy felt bag. Inside the bag is a familiar item: a glass ball filled with what appears to be blood. As you recall, after finding them amongst the belongings of the witches in the swamp...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Arnir, the item radiates moderate Transmutation magic and you are able to decipher its function. It identifies itself to you as a "Lesser Orb of Storms". The orb is attuned to a silver wand. Once per day, the wielder of the wand can have the orb cast control weather, and only the person with...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Torrent nods and walks towards the North door with a purpose. Without slowing, she raises a heavy booted leg and kicks the door in with force, preparing to swing her axe at anyone on the other side. The room is dominated by a large bed which was probably brought into this tomb by the...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Torrent shies away from the tanks of fluid, the eerie light casting a spectral green shade across her face. She moves to stand near Arnir and motions for Lars to remain close lest their shared spell wink out due to distance. "Any preference on which door we choose Arnir? We need to find Lee...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Arnir, there isn't a specific spell at play here. The most you're able to glean is that the liquid is comprised of a number of magical compounds that are most closely related to the Polymorph sub-school of Transmutation.

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Hrimr, the tanks are filled with weird green fluid. Suspended inside the largest open tank is the corpse of a female human with elven features. The corpse is obviously dead.

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Kirio, the only items that register any magic are the tanks of green fluid, which are suffused with transmutation magic, and a small unremarkable empty glass bottle with a cork that sits on the shelves with the tools and the tomes. The bottle also emanates an aura of transmutation. Inside the...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    "My thanks Hrimr," says Torrent. She then draws her axe, grips her holy symbol behind her light shield and marches towards the left door. "We tarry and linger while my former mentor eludes capture. No more distractions. Let us bring him to justice." She then opens the door and steps into...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Torrent quickly draws her wand and moves about the group, applying cure light wounds. After she uses her ninth and final charge, the wand becomes a mere mundane piece of carved wood which she tosses aside. After Torrent's healing, here is where everyone's hitpoints currently stand (based on my...

    Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

    Hrimr lands haphazardly from his brief experience with flight in a pile of ash, smoking clothes and charred flesh. You all cough and lay there in pain as the lava in the room continues to pour down from the ceiling. Eventually, a stream of vividly orange-red magma spills out of the dragon's...
