The group wanders back to the entrance of the IAC, still looking mindfully about the empty building. It must have been quite the place in its time, with alchemists and tinkerers rubbing elbows, discussing their research and furthering the fields of study. Now, like much of Daunton, it is another empty building. The group pauses at the front door, gathering up before leaving. As the first members of the group, Raiyek in lead, step forth from the building, a deep chuckling laugh makes them pause.
Like a dark moon, a large object floats overhead. At first it looks like a large ball or sphere about six feet across. The large orb moves about thirty feet out from the group before rotating and everyone sees the tentacle eye stalks and large central eye of a beholder! It's large mouth, full of razor sharp teeth grins at the adventures.
"The lady said someone was interfering on the island. How foolish of you," the beholder grumbles, and then, as if stating a fact,
"Now, I'm afraid, I'll have to kill you!"
The beholder pauses a moment, seeing the purple runes on the IAC's door and the four gargoyles, and chuckles to itself,
"Well, what do we have here? This won't do, this won't do at all!"
A beam of white light flashes forward from its central eye, and the runes are dispelled. No longer trapped, the gargoyles heads snap around and angry roars emit from their stony throats. They jump down from the wall, amid the adventurers, claws bared.
GM: | Adventurers! (everybody loves this part) Please roll for initiative!
If you beat a 29, please feel free to take your first turn. Ouch, it looks like he was ready for you.
Of note, the gargoyles will not be able to act the first turn but can take OA. | |
