D&D 5E (2014) (OOC) Vault of the Dracolich 5E (Full)

[Ancalagon]

So folks, the Stonefaced men dilema:

They are covered by a force field that can't be hurt. So until those force-fields are down, I propose we focus-fire the dragon simulacrum - it's a significant threat too.

BUT I think one of us (Udit?) should still try to disable those force field. But Udit isn't a genius, and many heads are better than one, so here are the clues:

1: In the niche that the idol got ejeted, we can see: "The niche that SnorLoska was near had a strange mosaic pattern inside that formed four circles: Orange, Blue, Green, and Purple." (this is, I believe, the niche near J3)

This niche ejected "Murder By Another's Hand "

Also, using "Poison Most Foul " failed

"Unseen Murderer" Was used with the door with the Eye

So *therefore* the proper idol has to be "Foe Rendered Harmless" - unless the Bhaalites are messing with us, of course. I would also note that it "fits" the situation BY FAR the best of the 4.

SO. Who has that idol? :/

 

[Ancalagon]

edit: Based on post 584, it is Mord that has it ... so [MENTION=6865745]gargoyleking[/MENTION] , how shall we do this?

 

[Prickly Pear]

And where should the other two idols go? One next to the simulacrum and the other near the Draco- loch...
None of the names gives me a hint…

 

[tglassy]

Maybe Murder by Another’s Hand goes behind the fake Dracolich and makes the stonemen Attack him?

 

[Ancalagon]

I like it - but let's try to get a "clue" before experimenting, it's rather dangerous!

That's it! "Murder By Another's Hand" must go behind the simulacrum since Sesto's attack ended up on Zander.
And now it is also obvious that SnorLoska's idol "Poison Most Foul" should go down the rift to stop the poison ward or maybe it will only poison the skeletons.
How can we get the idol down the rift? Chucking it over the edge might be an option but then it will probably break when it hits ground. Auraia could levitate it down or Terrus could flap up and grab it. But we don't know what is happening down the rift unless the Genasi siblings communicates mentally with each other. *hint*

I think you've solved it!

But yeah, they also may need help down there, not just the idol. Udit could climb down but even given a thief 's climbing speed it would take too long...

Thanks

For what? Where did you come from?

 

[gargoyleking]

Mord's trying to place his statue, hopefully it does more than just release the barriers around the stone faces. This could get a little crazy.

 

[gargoyleking]

Woot!
