Eyes Of The Lich Queen

[Velmont]

Once all gathered, Jango takes a few minutes and split it in small group. He put teh necklace on his neck and the vest over his suit. He removes his brooch and take teh tomes and gives it to Khalia. "Take those, they will be more usefull in your hands. I have splitted the items between us so we can get an optimal use of them. If you have a better idea, tell don't hesistate to speak."

Jango walks under the well and looks up. "Jina, Donovan, come down. Aern, keep watch, and take the shape of a lizardfolk and stay hidden. If there is something coming, warn us... oh, Jina, bring back the ropes, leave only one for you to come down, we might need them."

Once everyone is down, Jango gives them some of the magical items to each. "Make good use of them." He quickly tells what each items do and why he think it would be better to each of them to have these items.

Jango returns to the hoard and gather a few coins, gems, and precious metal. "We might need ressources in the futur, if it is only to bribe the lizardfolks on our way out."

OOC: Jango distribute the items just as I have told in the OOC.

I know carrying such an hoard of treasure is ridiculous, so Jango try to choose a few gem, precious metal and coins of highest value and gathered them in his bag to be use later when we will be back in town, or to be use as bribe or wathever other use we might have later of them.

Ari takes the shards, and as a frosty flame bursts from his sword, whistles appreciatively. His armor seems more sturdy as well. "Nice. Very nice."

Turning to the matter at hand, he waits for Rogan to finish his search. While doing so, he asks Khalia, "Do you think a combination of using all three pedestals will open up something beneath here. That picture of a hole was bigger than where we stand."

Jina is wide-eyed as she reaches the bottom and looks about her at the trove. "This is amazing!" she gushes. "Just like in the stories..."

She accepts her share of the equipment with childlike glee, grinning as she slides her newly-enhanced weapons into their enchanted sheathes.

Turning to the matter at hand, he waits for Rogan to finish his search. While doing so, he asks Khalia, "Do you think a combination of using all three pedestals will open up something beneath here. That picture of a hole was bigger than where we stand."

"That would be well in keeping with the theory of secret rooms in temples in the middle of nowhere." Khalia says. "Let me see what I can find."

Brother Donovan, human cleric

((OOC: With subscriptions down, I've lost the RG thread. Can anyone give me a link to update Donovan?))

Donovan drops down the unused ropes as Jango asks, then lowers himself after Jina. As he steps through the horde, he grins.

"I think we found someplace where everyone walks as loud as me," he comments as Jango presents him the ring and shards.

"I'm going to be a regular dolled up noble 'fore this is over," he says with a chuckle as he slips this second ring onto his free hand before attaching the shards to his mace and shield. As the shield hovers in the air before him, he whistles low. "Quite a handy bit of magic, that."

 

[DEFCON 1]

As the group waits for Donovan and Jina to climb down, as well as dividing up and testing all the equipment taken from the hoard... Rogan sets about searching the cavern. It is a slow process... running his fingers over the stone, feeling in the crevices, looking at the cracks for some sort of indication... (Take 20 Search check TN 25: [20] + 14 = 34 *success*)

...and it with a jubilant shout that after about ten minutes Rogan pulls free the stone that covers a concealed lever hidden in the northern wall. With a better indication of where to look, he is able to quickly discover a twenty-foot section of the wall where the most imperceptible crack can be found running haphazardly from floor to ceiling on either side.

The others in the party all quickly come over to view what the Daggerspell Guardian has found... and most begin yammering happily that they have their way in. However... what is most interesting is that Jango is unable to see it. Neither the crack in the wall, nor the concealed lever. Even when the others point at them and run their hands over them, and even put Jango's hand on them... he is unable to get any sense of what is there. It is as if the entire secret of this opening is blinded to him for some reason.

In any event, the group stands in front of the northern wall of the chamber with a simple pull of a lever awaiting them.

"How can that be possible..." tells Jango, passing his hand on the wall, where he has been told the crack is. "Maybe... would it be possible this has been hidden. Could it be the prophecy that blind me, or the bound to Sur'Kil? That might mean that teh lizardfolks might have never seen it if they would had found this room, which I doubt, or they would have taken all this hoard of treasure."

"I'm going to be a regular dolled up noble 'fore this is over," he says with a chuckle as he slips this second ring onto his free hand before attaching the shards to his mace and shield.

For half a second, Khalia looks like she's trying to decide if she should be offended by that comment.

"How can that be possible..." tells Jango, passing his hand on the wall, where he has been told the crack is. "Maybe... would it be possible this has been hidden. Could it be the prophecy that blind me, or the bound to Sur'Kil? That might mean that teh lizardfolks might have never seen it if they would had found this room, which I doubt, or they would have taken all this hoard of treasure."

"It is also possible that rest of us have been taken in by an illusion, and you have not." Khalia mentions. "I do not think it likely, but I mistrust large, friendly, obvious levers."

 

[stonegod]

Ari wraps his gloved hands around the level. "Well, only one way to find out. I'm of the mind that everything will work out..."

After waiting a moment for objections, Ari will pull the lever.

 

[Velmont]

"If it is an illusion, it should have no matter to me. Rogan, guide my hand so I can touch and grasp the lever." asks Jango.
