Ptolus: The Prison of the Sahuagin Queen

Garnet looks to the others. "I am sure it will come as no surprise that the amulet is magic. Evocation magic to be exact. Traditionally a very violent school of magic if my book studies serve me correct. I am not sure if its a ward or the item itself that holds the aura. Be cautious..."

[sblock=ooc]I'm not entirely clear- is the statue and dais located in some kind of pool? You mention brackish water, but not a pool.[/sblock]

ooc: we really are missing the impulsive thief character aren't we. All of us are entirely too cautious.

"Caution is usually well founded, but we need to find some way into the portal. Everyone stand back out of the door and I'll pick it up." says Maugra urging caution but moving to accomplish something.

Garn's concern for the group's true goal is heart felt and evident.

"You can't !@#$ing tell the difference between a trap spell and a !@#$ing loot spell? What kind of !@#$ing wizard help are you? Can you tell if its a one shot magic if the dwarf bites it? That's a !@#$ing good size gem on there." Garn ducks back behind the door letting the dwarf brave the risk, the dart trap still fresh on his mind.

"!@#$ing muck water." he curses as the brackish water sloshes from his movement.

Garn peeks around the corner of the door to see if Maugra is hesitating or died silently upon reaching for the amulet.

Vanden, too, waits near the door as Maugra suggests, though hesitant to let anyone else move into harm's way.

Maugra's hand closes around the amulet and removes it from the dais. For a moment, it seems like nothing is going to happen, and then a wave of heat fills the room, exploding into fire.

Maugra plunges beneath the filthy water, avoiding the fiery blast, as do Garnet, Vanden and Garn.

They resurface a moment later to find the slow-moving Ada's burning body floating atop the water, still.

[sblock=ooc]Ada takes 8 points of damage from the fireball trap, dropping her to -5 hit points.[/sblock]

"Okay bad idea." says Maugra as she rushes to Ada's body. She quickly rolls her over in the water to extinguish the flames then casts a cure light wounds to try and revive her.

[sblock=ooc]Maugra's spell heals 3 points of damage for Ada.[/sblock]
