Legacy of Death Part IX: The Ultimate Tomb

[Jin Abackis]

The gloom clearly prevented serendipity from shining upon us and I think it’s fair to say that was not exactly our best effort. Nevertheless human, you and your cat are welcome comrades.

Let us get out of this damn storm and find a safer place, if possible, to take a short rest.
Sim moves to get a better view of the entrance to the skull.

 

[TerraDave]

I am assuming you take a short rest....

 

[Jin Abackis]

Sim will move south somewhere near Buckthorn (but keeps 3 squares away from everyone). He takes a short rest and changes his origin to Immortal (while bloodied regen 5 and untyped at-wills deal radiant damage). He gets back to non-bloodied and spends 2 HS to get back to full HP.

Depending on what the others want to do, he takes another short rest and changes his origin to Natural (resist 5 all and +2 to saves).

Sim looks at human to see if he has a hand slot item; Human, your healing powers are impressive. You can put these to better use than I. Sim offers the Gloves of the Healer to the human.

He then approaches (about 20 feet away) and checks out the entrance (perception - 20).

 

[ecayford]

Forge will take a look as well. 25 perception.

 

[TerraDave]

Sim must save.

The great ice skull is there. You think you can enter...through the mouth.

 

[Jin Abackis]

Simorai shrugs off the healing curse (makes his save). Does Sim know if this was triggered by the regeneration, HS or something else?
Sim approaches the mouth to look inside (but does not enter or touch it). I assume that the others are spread out nearby and at least 15 feet (3 squares away) from Sim and each other (unless otherwise informed, Forge the closest to offer melee aid if needed, Buckthorn further out of the way with his short bow, the mounted human off to the other side between Forge and Buckthorn). To the extent possible, we avoid the strange haunted rubble.
Now what did I do with that house warming gift? Ahh, here it is. Sim draws the RuinBlade.

 

[TerraDave]

Its a necrotic nudging that starts as soon as the regeneration does.

And yes, the eldritch storm is still going.

Through the mouth you see a tunnel leading dow.

 

[dyermaker001]

"Thank you for you generosity. I fear the curse of this place makes my healing less of a boon than normal." After the short rest , Allowyn approaches the mouth with the others.

Everyone in addition to Sim, let me know if and how you are healing up

 

[ecayford]

Forge is ready to move on as soon as everyone else is.
