Strahd's "RttToEE" CLOSED

stonegod said:
The Kid wanders over to the pillar and examines it visually first, then carefully inspects it with his hands and tools. Perhaps there was magic or treasure or trap, but hopefully he'd find it before it found them.

OOC: Take 20 on search the pillar, then the various runes. Is there another exit?

Immpossible though it seems, the huge obelisk comes to a very narrow point that is balanced atop this 30-foot-high pillar. The pillar has been carved from the rock itself and appears to be quite solid. iron rungs, mostly free of corrosion, have been hammered into it, allowing antone to climb to the point where pillar meets obelisk.

No other exit is present but a strange Archway is carved out of the stone on the eastern cave wall in such a way that it seems to be nothing but a carved mass of written tentacles and serpents, beyond the opening is a smoth black wall.

"Mr. The Kid, find any traps?" Lenuran says as he eyes the large obelisk.

"If not, then I really would like to see how this small pillar holds up that huge obelisk."

OOC: Once Thandis is confident that there are no traps on the pillar, Lenuran will climb the iron rungs to get a look at how this thing is balanced on the top.

"You'll be the first person I will inform if I am successful in tipping it over, no, make that the second -- I will inform myself first, then let you know." He says to the dwarf, as he nimbly climbs up the iron rings, on the lookout for any tell-tale sign of purple tentacles in the pillar.

He looks over the pillar/obelisk junction with a quizzical eye. "How could this small piece of stone hold up this enormous pillar" He thinks to himself.

He reaches out and feels the contour of the pillar to where it meets the obelisk and continues on as only obelisk.

OOC: Do any signs of purple tentacles appear when he touches the obelisk portion?
 

The Kid shakes his head at the crazy gnome. "When you are done, will you try to go through the door that is not a door but tentacles." The Kid looks at the entry with the sour look of fear, then checks it very carefully for traps.

OOC: Another take 20 Search. Kid is creeped out.
 

Surprise Round

While Lenuran inspect the connection point of the pillar and the enormous Obelisk, Thandis goes to scan the walled archway, it seems to be nothing but a carved mass of writing, the entrance is sealed by a smooth, black wall. There are no visible lines of a passage or a door. After spotting no harm, Thandis checks for traps, upon touching the wall beyond this apparent dead end, a thorny tentacle push through the blackness as if it were a curtain. The tentacle barely misses the surprised Kid.
The tentacle then followed by a big creature that resemble the dead pinkish corpse that lies not far away.

In the mean time, up on the Pillar, Lenuran touches and inspects the contour where the pillar meets the Obelisk, something feels strange to touch, despite the fact that it seems like they where made out of the same stone, in a matter of seconds Lenuran vanish from sight.

[sblock=Stradh]"Lenuran," He thinks to himself,"Sometimes your curiousity gets the best of you, now just look where it got you this time."

He looks around the black room, noting that there are no visible exits or entrances.

"Hello?" He says,"Anyone here?"

He walks around the spherical room, taking a close look at the walls for any secret doors.
