Legacy of Death Part I: Most Infamous Danger

"Agreed, let's continue around the perimeter." Nar-Heru will gently lower the gem to the ground with unseen force of his Mage Hand.

 

[Buckthorn]

Buckthorn nods agreement at continuing the circumnavigation of the chamber - and an exit or at least a likely place to rest. He will keep his eyes open for exits/secret doors and traps.

 

[TerraDave]

The gem is returned to the floor and you continue.

You see something in the middle of the south wall.

Contrasting with the pastel colors of the floor and pillars of
the hall is the stark blackness of the huge dais atop which
rests an obsidian throne inlaid with silver and ivory skulls.
Upon the throne rest a crown and a scepter.

Lucien slowly approaches the dais, and without actually stepping on it, inspects it for traps, tripwires, switches or other examples of nefarious engineering.

If nothing is found, he'll proceed carefully up the steps to inspect (but NOT be stupid enough to actually touch) the throne and its contents.

If anything on the dais shifts, stirs, floats, glows or growls, Lucien will bravely run away.

 

[dyermaker001]

Nar-Heru carefully studies the dais from a distance, to see if he recognizes anything historical or arcane in the about the crown, scepter or any other symbols.

 

[TerraDave]

(I will assume that one of you scouts the chamber a bit more. You find nothing else, including no obvious exits, beyond the many discoveries so far.)

Lucian, you approach the throne unharmed.

Nar-Heru, the crown and sceptre are certainly magical and almost certainly linked.

The crown is gold. The sceptre is the unusual alloy electrum, with the ball on one end made of gold, and the knob on the other of silver.

On the lower front of the throne, there is a replica of the crown, in silver.

 

[dyermaker001]

What exactly did we see when we went back to entry door?

 

[TerraDave]

really?...

Solid adamantine with no means of opening.

I guess I will assume you spend some time

No means of opening are found.

Do you dwell longer at the impassable door?

 

[Buckthorn]

Buckthorn will scout the throne room looking for any secret doors or exits from that chamber (Perception).

Edit: In his scouting he is careful not to touch the diaz, throne, crown, scepter.
