The Test of Time

[Elocin]

Soen Morrowsong

Kind of chuckling to herself I mention to the group, "Well I have a spell that might be able to help us with this door." Begins to cast Open Lock=14 targeted on the door, "Everyone stand ready as we know not what is behind this door."

"Also does anyone know anything or have heard anything about someone named Layrous Demranit, who lived about 2000 years ago?"

 

[Eonthar]

Elrion Kyrik - Human Mage Blade

"Thank you K'trinaxes for all of your help. I do not believe that I would have survivied if it had not been for your intervention. As my life force was slipping, I felt you calling out to me. I owe you my gratitude. I will do all that I can to make sure that I can repay you."

After Soen casts his spell on the door, Elrion will wait, ready to deal with whatever may come out.

Rurrahr

Rurrahr stands ready as the spell is cast on the door. Layrous Demranit, 2000 years ago? Is he serious? Magic is too strange a thing for a simple hunter.

Shi-Torob is able to touch the door again without any feelings of aversion, the magic of the rune that had appeared briefly must have dissipated. If Soen's date is at all correct, it probably dissipated given the length of time it had been there.

When Soen casts his spell you all hear a little click coming from the right side of the face. Closer inspection reveals that the right eyesocket has been rotated, though the tumblers do not appear to be in the right position yet. Regardless you are still unable to open the door. Checking the left eyesocket you find that it too contains a lock, still barring your entry.

[ooc:I was about to lower the open lock dc, but there are a couple of people who could open it with some luck (or a couple of take 20s ~hint hint.]

 

[Zoatebix]

Shi-Torob, Giant Champion of Death 1

The giant lights a candle and uses his dagger to reflect light into one of the eyes of the relief. He peers into the keyhole at the tiny tumblers and looks at his dagger with a sigh of inadequacy. "Anyone have something that even approximates a proper tool?" He steps away from the door, contemplative for a few moments. He grins, chuckles, and blows out his light. "...The proper tools and hands a bit less meaty than these."

 

[Lobo Lurker]

"Tools? Is the door yet locked?" K'trinaxes climbs down the hole and ambles up to the door. Eyeing the right eye socket critically, he pulls out some lockpicks and spends some time fooling (1d20+4=6) around with the lock.

"I hope you're not in a hurry." he mutters. "I picked this up in my travels... but I'm not exactly good at it." Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he methodically begins to feel around, poke, and prod until he gets a fair understanding of the lock's composition & layout.

OOC: Open Lock +4 *failed*; Taking 20 now *Result 24*.
OOC: Are we spell caster's replenished? Or are we at the end of day 2? Confused about the time, sorry.

Rurrahr Litorian Unfettered

Stretching and moving slowly with the soreness, Rurrahr approaches the door and takes out his own set of tools. He watches to see how his companion does.

The Hall Beyond the Dragons' Door

After spending some time with both locks, K'trinaxes and Rurrahr both here the satisfying click of tumblers falling into place. With the door unlocked, a small seem can be seen between the dragons' heads and down to floor. Pulling on the dragons you are able to open the big heavy doors.

Beyond the doors lies a hall about a full 12 giant strides long and perhaps 6 wide (60x30). Lining the hall are columns spaced every 10 feet and carved to resemble thin, rearing dragons. The floor is dust-covered marble, and the walls are fitted panels of stone covered in
draconic writing that describes ancient dragon myths and history. At the far end, a massive red stone, rough and irregular, juts up through the floor to stand 4 feet high and 3 feet
wide. Atop it rests a single white crystal shard, 8 inches long and 2 inches wide.

The light of your torches spill into the room, alighting it for the first time in millenia.

Rurrahr Litorian Unfettered

Rurrahr stares at the fabulous room for a moment and then says, "Do you think they would have more traps on such a treasure?"

OOC: Using his limited ability to do so, Rurrahr searches for mundane traps +7.

 

[Elocin]

Soen Morrowsong

Rurrahr stares at the fabulous room for a moment and then says, "Do you think they would have more traps on such a treasure?"

Is that possibly a dragonshard and if it is I wonder how powerful it is. I will assume that it has to be somewhat powerful if the Dragons are in search of it. Especially since they are in such a hurry to get this as they have only recently come back to this land. This could greatly enhance my desire to bring back the Council of Magisters.

"Let's just assume that there are more traps in here and lets just take things nice and easy. I am going to cast a spell (Read Magic) to see if any of those writings are magical and possibly a trap as well." Taking a side long glance at Shi-Torob, "So everyone please be careful and don't do anything stupid."

Also while studying the room I would like to make a few skill checks on the writings, the statues and try and dig in my memory to see if I remember anything about Layrous Demranit.
