RESTARTED - Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (tToEE) - PART III

[Leif]

Trevor Champlaign

"Well, let's either whip out some arcane 'juice' or else move on. Any juicy takers?" Seeing no immediate volunteers, Trev looks around for the next likely route to pursue.

 

[Legildur]

The warlock strolls back down. "No way I can see to get it open up there. It seems to have a little magic on it. Some abjuration. Unless that gives someone an idea, I suggest we try else where."

"That'd be an alarm for if we breached this portal," says Kurt knowingly. "Be best we go another way."

 

[Thanee]

Dara

“It could also be a way to keep it shut. But I agree, best no to tamper with it and find another way. There should be plenty around.”

 

[Rhun]

You make your way back to the broken shell tower and peer out into the yard of the Temple compound. The only other entrances you know of are the ones at the front of the Temple Proper itself, and you know from experience that they are likely trapped.

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

"Once more we face the main entrance." Verdis looks over the entry area for any magical emanations that might indicate spells have been placed on the doors.

 

[stonegod]

Corraine keeps near the front, but lets those more knowledgeable about traps and things take the lead.

 

[Rhun]

Verdis notes that both the eastern and western "side doors" into the Temple Nave bear magical dweomers...faint abjuration and moderate evocation.

The main doors continue to radiate overwhelming enchantment magics, and Verdis finds looking at them to be akin to staring into the sun. In fact, none of you can even approach within 20 feet of the doors, as you are overcome with feelings of aversion and repugnance.

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

Shielding his eyes from the main entrance, Verdis looks for alternatives such as windows or other openings, even ones high up in the structure.

 

[Leif]

Trevor Champlaign

"Perhaps it isn't the best time to bring this up, but I would certainly feel safer if we were to enter by the underground passageway that we have found before. Or, surely there are other hidden entrances into the foul place? Barging right in the front doors, or these obvious "side" doors strikes me as being quite suicidal. We are lucky to have done so before and lived....."

 

[Rhun]

Verdis does note many dirt-encrusted stained glass windows high above, perhaps thirty or so feet above your heads.
