Something malevolent and very ancient inhabits this place. Did they evade the Cult of the Iron Gorgon, traverse the Breathless Chimney, and defeat the terrifying Id Fiend only to be foiled by an impossible choice: to forge ahead into the roiling lava—and undoubtedly their deaths—or turn back now in defeat?But, no! Again, his thoughts turn to that marvelous tome, The Fables of Genga, and how its heroine conquered a similar dilemma with the aid of a Goliath hero named Lo-Kag. When faced with a choice between traveling across the Blighted Lands or sailing their ship through the dreaded Straits of the Kraken in their Race of a Thousand Heroes, the ingenious Lo-Kag had modified their ship to take flight in the air, winning the two The Brass Cup of Wishes … and another great adventure.“Sahtree,” the merchant prince turns to his slave, “you recall the tale of your kinfolk Lo-Kag I read to you many times when we were young, yes?” Not waiting for an answer, he continues, “Is there some other path here we might take? What do you sense in your … l’pahb’gin?”The Goliath surveys the land about them: the treeline, the rust-hued molten stone, cumulus clouds racing past at what seems an arm’s reach. Mouldering trees felled in years past. A low shield of bedrock. Bedrock laced with pure, uncorrupted iron. Iron, not rust.“Gosb’tar, I think there is a way,” PA’AVU says hesitantly. She approaches the bedrock, kneels, and takes in a voluminous breath. Exhales. Inhales again, then, breathing out, strikes the stone with her iron palm. A crack opens. Pa’avu scrambles to her feet. The stone crumbles into a thousand pieces, revealing a dark stair carved into the very rock, descending deep below the surface.“Well done, Pa’avu,” the psion acknowledges, “we have found the way to StoneROOT’s perch!”[HR][/HR]Chanvati makes a Secondary Skill History check to recall the story of Genga and Lo-Kag’s solution, +11 vs 11 Easy DC = autosuccess for +2 bonus toPa'avu uses an Advantage to refresh training, utilizing Iron Soul Flurry of Blows Encounter Power for a +2 Circumstance Bonus to Primary Skill Perception check, r(19) +10 +2 (within 10 squares of Chanvati) +2 (SS) +2 (Circumstance) = 35 vs 23 Hard DC.
