D&D 5E (IC) Fitz's Folly

[FitzTheRuke]

There appeared to be no exits to the room, other than the way they had come in, but now that way was closed and as the Medusa statue disappeared, so did any way of opening it again.

They stood there, huddled at one end of the cross, whispering about their goals and troubles. Chrysagon lightly tapped one of the terracotta warriors with his staff - then stopped when Qawasha gave him a glare. The clay was old, and crumbled easily. As a piece knocked off onto the floor, Chrysagon could see that the armature used to support the clay into a humanoid form, was a human skeleton.

These had all once been Omuan soldiers.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Qawasha had a suspicion as to what the soft-glowing runes might be, but he'd need to be safely closer to one to be sure.

 

[Prickly Pear]

Chrysogon carefully navigates his way past the terracotta warriors, avoiding to step on the broken pieces, and takes a close look at the rune to the south.

OOC: Stealth check past warriors and then Religion check on rune: 2D20.LOW(1)-1 = [20, 19]-1 = 18 1D20+3 = [5]+3 = 8

Qawasha grabbed the Paladin's sleeve before he could get far into the room,

Please, before you go, let us look in the bag."

Alright, Chrysagon said impatiently and sounded a bit grumpy but that was presumably due to the bleating when he spoke. What's in the bag?

And I think you are right, the staff must be cursed... but it is a strong and swift staff so I'm keeping it for now. Have you seen the force that I can expel from it? It's amazing! Chrysagon seems a little too besotted by the staff. Hopefully it will not be to his demise.

"I can go over the walls and get over the rune to read it. So can Grrol if needed. Maybe we don't need to walk among them. And if threatened, we can go above them." Myrral looks at the walls, rough enough for his claws to find purchase. "And we, the hunters, can rush faster than humans for the short sprint."

"I totally forgot about the bag. We said we will try and identify stuff from the wizard when last we rested, but that chariot got us all weirded out. I also got some weird potion in the secret room."

 

[FitzTheRuke]

They emptied the bag, which was unnaturally spacious. They found changes of robes, blankets, a bedroll, rope, and various other travel supplies including food and water, and a 12-foot ladder, before getting to the "good stuff" in the form of a spellbook, a journal, an orb of glass (with colorful blue swirls), and a necklace that was missing most of its decorations, but had four remaining red-and-orange glass beads on a simple chain.

The "Good Stuff" as mundane as it seemed was the water and Qawasha took the water skin and offered it to weed and Imogen,

"Take some and share it around, my friends! This is the resting place of one of Tricksters. Perhaps, as long as we touch nothing and are respectful, we too can rest."

He offered the Journal to someone who might understand the intricacies of the Thayan Wizard's words.

Spoiler: OOC

@FitzTheRuke Do you think we can take a short rest? I could use some HP.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: Yeah, if you're quiet you can take a short rest.

 

[Neurotic]

Myrral was burned by the fires before going into the water. He would like to take time and identify the baubles, but he has to mend his burns first. He starts a soft, soothing song to help others relax. Keeping it soft so that only companions can hear it. Hopefully, warriors are as stone deaf as they are stone.

He takes care that sound doesn't carry to the altar.

OOC: song of rest, whatever you recover with HD, you get extra 1d6HP
