Eyes Of The Lich Queen

"Let me know if you're close to burning through the magic of that wand. I have another to replace it."

The templar waits, slightly uneasy, as Jango surveys the room with his magically-enhanced senses.

 

[DEFCON 1]

Jango casts his spell and begins scanning the cavern. Much to his surprise... very little in the chamber was of a magical bent. The basalt slab is rife with magical energy... transmutation magic primarily. Also, the two objects that are sitting within the two niches behind the slab also radiate magic.

The bridge, the sarcophagus, and the rest of the cavern does not, however.

"Let me know if you're close to burning through the magic of that wand. I have another to replace it."

The templar waits, slightly uneasy, as Jango surveys the room with his magically-enhanced senses.

"I've got a more powerful one in my backpack. But since nothing is attacking us right now, I think this will do." She tells Donovan.

"Odd." Is all Rogan says as he sees the patterns on the wall.

Once the others are finished tending to the monster hunter, Rogan slowly begins to move towards the other side of the gap. Pausing before crossing the bridge, the Daggerspell Guardian tries to gauge the structural integrity of it before crossing.

"The slab and the objects in the cavities are magic. that's all. but it doesn't exclude any trap. And that bridge doesn't looks like solid. Rogan, what your expertise tell?"

 

[DEFCON 1]

Rogan checks the stone bridge and sees that while the structure is loose around the small section of the left side that has already crumbled away... if a person stayed to the right side of the bridge when crossing, it should be okay. Crossing across the middle or near the section that dropped away would be risky. He also wouldn't recommend more than one person crossing at a time just to be on the safe side, although the original construction was well thought out.

OOC: Ari is back to full HP, 4 charges of wand used.

 

[stonegod]

Ari looks about the room. "Well, if experience tells us anything, it is that the designers of the place probably aren't done with trying to kill us yet. But where is this 'Eye' thing? Nothing on the slab from here." The hunter shrugs. "Guess we could go over to check, though this more of the Lady's expertise than mine. Hey, Rogan, is it safe to cross?"

 

[drothgery]

Khalia was trying to make some sense of the patterns on the wall after healing Ari, when she heard him mention her again.

"Oh, yes. Quite right."

 

[Velmont]

"I'm not sure the eye is here either. To hide an artifact, I would expect maybe a bit more protection then that. Maybe it is simply a false end. I wouldn,t be surprise there would be another hidden passage here."

 

[DEFCON 1]

"Stay to the right." Rogan says of the bridge, and the party begins advancing over it one at a time. As the group nears the slab, it is easily noticeable that there is a semi-spherical depression in the center of it, probably about 12 inches in diameter. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this might very well have been where the Eye rested, although it certainly isn't here now.

As Jango and Jina walk and look around the chamber, their elven eyes do not pick up any secret doors.
