[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 6305040, member: 2525"] [SIZE=5]Session 26[/SIZE] April 17, 2014 Present: Jason, Noah Short session this time, and restricted to non-combat only due to lack of actual quorum. Having defeated the fire elementals, the party explored the large cavern previously occupied by those fiery creatures. Bear slowly approached the talking statue in the cage. Quickly he learned that no sound was coming from the statue, though it appeared to be talking and moving about in a slow manner. It's outstretched finger rose, pointing at the door and the lock therein, a pleading look on it's face as it appeared to plead through silent lips. Slink examined the lock, and concluded it was beyond his means. Milo then stepped forth and studied it with a keen eye and a brief consultation of some notes, along with a detection spell of some sort. He too concluded that opening the lock was beyond his means, but speculated that perhaps a magical key might be the thing to do the trick. But no key, magical or otherwise, could be seen. Leaving the cage behind, Bear then approached the blue opaque pool, as Luther approached the fiery blackish red one. Bear could discern that the blue pool cooled the air above the surface. Breaking of a branch of roots from the clear pool area, he dipped that in the blue opaque pool and found it cool to the touch, and perhaps the bark was a tad eaten away from the experience. Nothing more could be determined, as his 6' long branch failed to reach the bottom, and he was reluctant to touch the pool with his hand. Luther had more luck with his. As he peered into the swirling depths, a black oily substance within the pool swirled and formed these words, "Guess what treasure I contain". Perplexed, Bear joined Luther, and Hollin considered possible answers from a ways away. 'A key!" answered Hollin. "Wrong fool guess again," answered the pool in black, oily letters that floated along the surface of the golden red liquid. Luther contemplated further, as Bear fretted about potential treasure within. Finally, in desperation, Luther said, "Can you give us a hint maybe?" To his surprise, the pool responded! Men kill For love of me Easily beaten Never free "Ah ha!" said Bear. "It's gold!" The ground trebled, as the liquid ebbed away through some hidden drain. Slowly, revealed along the bottom of a 10' deep pit that once contained the reddish gold liquid, could be see a pile of gold coins! Bear licked his lips and smiled at his accomplishment. But alas, the surface of the sides of the pit remained covered in the black oily liquid. No matter. He rapidly went back for the rope and grappling hook that had helped the group retrieve the chest from the clear pool, hooked it to the side of the pit, and slowly lowered himself down. Success! On the bottom were indeed about 1500 gold pieces, each bearing the devices of ancient kings and queens. Bear, controlling his greed for now, gathered only a small portion at a time, that which he could safely carry back up, and climbed carefully out of the pit. Dropping off the coins, he made many trips this way, and was able to remove all the coins from the bottom of the pit. One more pool had been solved. Moving now to the boiling greenish water, Luther, Bear and Hollin contemplated this new task. The iron chest in the midst of the pool could be plainly seen, 10 feet down. But how to get to it with no visible handles or hinges? Bear decided to ferry water from the clear pool to the boiling one, using the now-empty chest from the clear pool to carry said water. Hours were spent at this task, as the water level slowly rose within the boiling pool. Bear tested the water finally, and found it was indeed still scalding hot, but perhaps a bit cooler than it had been before. Still - perhaps too hot to go diving into! Moving finally to the metallic not-pool, Bear and Luther each took whacks at it's surface with their magical weapons. Each bounced of the surface, though admittedly no perfect hit was achieved in their experiments. And so four pools remained of the six - the Silvery, Boiling, Metal, and Cold. And where was the key for the angel? [Jason and Noah thought they would be available next week. Happy birthday John!] [/QUOTE]
