D&D 5E [IC] Creamsteak's Princes of Elemental Evil

[Shayuri]

Aridha remained silent for the moment, but her expression was cloudy ever since hearing the report about the statues. It was unlikely that any means of entrance was unguarded...and if it wasn't watched, that implied that those within didn't feel it needed to be. Statues.

It could simply be a monk who had developed skill with sculpting during his contemplations.

Or something else.

"I can climb over," she said softly.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Carradoc shrugs, and reaches into his cloak, to reveal a thin spindle of wire and a few metal hooks and ratchets.

"I'm happy to give the lock a try," he suggests.

OOC: Thieves' tools (proficient): [roll0]. If guidance is offered by Thaliss, please add [roll1].

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Dent stood by and watched Carradoc (and Damien) work on the gate lock. He kept his steel and shield at the ready.

 

[hafrogman]

Tolan pulls out his bow and keeps watch back towards the approach as the others work the gate and watch the monastery itself. Mindful of previous encounters, he scans the horizon as well, watching for airborne watchers.

 

[Creamsteak]

[sblock=Thaliss]You hear a faint chanting coming from somewhere in the monastery.[/sblock]

The lock is quickly picked and the door opened ever so quietly.

Inside you see seven statues, apparently finely crafted. Three of the statues depict a human, a half-elf, and an elf in various states of terror. Four statues depict winged devils with faces of gluttony, greed, vengeance, and pride in a twisted mockery of sorts.

 

[Forged Fury]

A Garden of Delight!

Not now...

"Well, this is rather cheery..." Damien whispered. Stepping back from the door, he softly whispered the words of a spell. An icy chill shivered up his spine and a thin layer of frost coated him.

OOC: Cast Armor of Agathys, Duration: 1 hour. Gain 10 Temp HPs/Deal 10 HP against successful melee attack

 

[Steve Gorak]

Telepathically, Thaliss relays what he perceived: I hear chanting coming from the monastery, be on your guards!

 

[hafrogman]

Tolan stands guard on the outside until the others have entered, then he quietly slips in behind them, and slowly closes the gate again so their entrance isn't so obvious. He switches out his bow for his blade and takes a few steps forward, looking around.

Heeding Thaliss's warning, he remains silent for now.

 

[Kobold Stew]

Replacing his lock picks, Carradoc looks around the garden. "Not the decorator I would have chosen." His mage armour, cast several hours before now (?), is still up.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Dent muttered an oath under his breath. "Pedicabo ego!" He followed the curse with an incantation; he begged the gods of war to watch over his blade, and Tolan's and Damien's steel. "Deum belli dux faciei tuae."

OOC: Move into the garden to AR7. Cast bless on Dent, Tolan, and Damien: "Whenever a target makes an attack roll or a saving throw before the spell ends (Concentration, 1 minute), the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the attack roll or saving throw."
