Legacy of Death Part VI: Like a Snake Eating its Own Tail...and it is Dead

[TerraDave]

You feel it wobble in your "hand" but are able to get it on the pedestal.

Nothing else happens.

EDIT: As an FYI and clarification, the six pedestals in the room are significantly shorter then in the picture above, otherwise they would be close to touching each other.

 

[Jin Abackis]

Simorai asks Nar to see if he can Mage Hand the coin and put it on another pedestal.

Edit: and Simorai throws another copper coin at another pededstal to see if deflects from an invisible object thereon.

 

[TerraDave]

You "hurl" another coin (Sim being neither particularly strong nor sporty) at the pedestal which is on the wall right next to you. It does not hit an invisible gargoyle (though if its also insubstantial, then all bets are off). It does however suddenly turn and fly at quite an odd angle to the floor.

At around this point (perhaps out of boredom), the statue does start to stir as its stony texture subtly changes to hard, grayish, skin...

(role initiative).

 

[ecayford]

Everyone gets +2 to initiative. Forge gets 32 and Dayereth gets 26 for inish.

 

[ecayford]

Forge triggers temp hitpoints and grants the other to Dayereth - 49 temp for Forge and 41 for Dayereth.

 

[Jin Abackis]

Somewhat confused about the walls, Simorai mutters to himself “odd indeed.” Nevertheless, the floor seems safe at least up to 8 feet (is that significant or just a ruse?). Unsure about the floor, Simorai says: rather than rush in, let’s see if it will come to us (maybe delay). (Initiative – 17 with the +2). As a free action, Simorai will trigger the healing infusion (42 for Sim) and also grant Buckthorn the same.
Note: on the map, Simorai and Forge (assuming he listened) were back 1 square

 

[dyermaker001]

21 init for Nar

 

[Buckthorn]

28 init for Buckthorn

 

[ecayford]

Can forge reach the gargoyle to attack or is it too high up?

 

[TerraDave]

The Gargoyle seems sluggish...must be the whole "made out of stone thing" or perhaps Sim's keen senses.

You all can go. It can be attacked from the ground right now.
