Shackled City - Chapter II

[hippocrachus]

Orpheus narrows his eyes at Elyas, trying to figure out if the half-elf's comment was sarcasm. When Raven opens the chest and shows the items to everyone, he happily translates the rune on the key; completely sure that no one would be able to tell which doors it opened simply by matching the runes.
I'm sure the mage could handle himself, but the rest of them have the collective intelligence of a white dragon, he thinks to himself while still strumming chords.

Raven feels no different after doning the cloak, but Elyas' detection spell allows him to see a glow around it (illusion), as well as the wand (divination).

OoC: Sorry all, been having trouble getting into ENWorld the past few days, but the site seems back to its slow self again now.

Raven

OOC: Congrats on your 1000th post, Majin. Did Raven see anything else under the stage? If not, it's time to be moving on.

IC: Raven smiles as she models the cloak. "I think I'll keep it. Gnome magic for a gnome city. Any hey, now that we've got a key, we can go back & open some doors! How about we try the door in the SouthWest that should go to a big room?"

 

[Mimic]

(ooc: sorry backtracking slightly - nice to know I am not the only one that had problems getting on)

Althron nods his head slightly to Alinis' reply, "Aye, he is focused, I'll give you that. Too much so if you ask me, becarefull he doesn't walk you down a path you donna want to go."

Raven smiles as she models the cloak. "I think I'll keep it. Gnome magic for a gnome city. Any hey, now that we've got a key, we can go back & open some doors! How about we try the door in the SouthWest that should go to a big room?"

"Seems a good a plan as any." He says walking off the stage and towards the doors.

Alinis nods in agreement. "I'll agree to that priest," she tells him dryly.

 

[hippocrachus]

Orpheus places the mandolin across his shoulder, secures his lyre in his backpack, and follows the others without any objections.

 

[Dhes]

Elyas fist concentrates on the cloak that Raven is wearing and than on the wand. “It seems that the cloak has some kind of illusion cast upon it and the wand seems to hold some divination powers.”

 

[Verbatim]

Zeric waited until the group had fallen in behind Raven heading towards the locked doors that they could now open before stepping off of the stage himself.

~I will give them one or two trys to find progress before I call them on the error of this course. Maybe they will learn from hitting the wall themselves...~

While he felt the key to locating the children rested in finding more of the elusive skulks, but it seemed that those he travelled with had the attention span of small children. It was a trait that he found both unsettling and frustrating given the severity of their quest, but as he had already discovered, any attempts to point these flaws out to them was met with defensive backlashing and name calling.

~It is not my place to save them from themselves...it is only my place to use them to rescue the children...I only hope they can stay focused long enough to do it...~

Alinis is rear-guard, her bow ready for eventual trouble. Her keen eyes scan the walls and floors, looking for secret doors and any other kind of oddities that might be interesting.

 

[Majin]

OoC: Thanks Manz. Didn't even realize I was that close Nothing else under the stage though.

Using the key on the southwest door unlocks and disables any traps present, but leads to the room the party was previously in. (With the secret art gallery stash)
