House Millithor in COSQ: part 3

ooc: What is Dariel summoning and where he is having the creature show up? There is nothing in the treasury except for the coffin.

The treasury room is about 20' wide by 20' long by 6' high. The coffin is in the center of the room.

The treasury room is about 20' wide by 20' long by 6' high. The coffin is in the center of the room.

ooc: I was hoping that there was a line of sight between the glyph and Dorina's chamber, in that case Quertus could simply trigger the glyph with a Mage Hand and noone would get hurt. If there is no line of sight Dariel could summon something and command it to touch the glyph, perhaps after showing the trap to it (and then leaving the room). Either way noone of us would be near the glyph when the trap went off.

The Matron looks at Dariel, raising what remained of one of her eyebrows slightly.
"The best way to evade accidents is to be elsewhere when accidents happen. We can control this procedure from a safe distance."
 


The Matron's vast knowledge of magic allows her to realize that although Dariel has the ability to summon an ally, he has no ability to direct the animal to do anything without a seperate spell to speak to the animal.

Zieggrek realizes that there is no other exit from the treasury, but that it will probably be easier and quicker this time, since he widened the entrance the last time he crawled through.

Dorina's coffin is not positioned where you can see it from her quarters.
 

As Carcelon follows Kiernan's gaseous form, she notices that Kilcif seems most unlike his usual self. He is focusing all of his energies on following the gaseous form and does not seem at all interested in looking left or right for a possible ambush by remaining T'sarran forces.

As Kilcif follows Kiernan, two thoughts are central in his mind. The first thought is to follow Kiernan whereever he goes. The second is an overwhelming desire to destroy Marckarius, if the rumor of his destruction should prove false.
 

Looking around at Quertus, Dariel asks "So, do you know how to activate the trap? Does one merely need to touch it, or scratch it, or does it only activate once someone tries to open the coffin?"

ooc: Couldn't he direct it to attack the coffin? That would have a chance of triggering the trap. Otherwise Quertus could cast Evards Tentacles into the room, they should flail around enough to disturb the lid of the coffin and trigger the trap. Wall of Fire is also an option. Is it correct to assume that there is nothing of any significant value in the room we would risk damaging if Quertus cast some spells of mass-destruction into the chamber.?

"She will make an impressive Matron of House Millithor."


"Well see what happens. But it might not be wise not to speak aloud about it yet."

"Do either of you have a minor spell of telechinesis or summoning prepared? If that is the case we shall trigger the trap from a safe distance outside the crypt."


Ignoring Zieggrek, Quertus shakes his head to Matron. "No, not telekinesis really. I can move very small objects slowly. But I doubt it will help us in this."

"It could be any of those. It depends on the trap. I'm inclined to destroy the whole coffin, but I'm not sure if I can do that with the spells I have left. I can try of course, unless recovering Dorina's corpse in one piece is somehow important."

"I would prefer that the corpse remains identifyable, but if we have no other option you should use brute force. We will know if it is Dorina soon enough anyway."

Noticing that Kilcif is following the Matron's last order a little too single-mindedly, she follows ~10' behind with Tierak watching for the threats he is ignoring.
