DM Mitch Wednesday March 17th, 2021 6:25:52 AM Grindar thinks he might be losing his mind with respect to forgetting Ash previously healed him before informing the others he doesn’t know what made the claw marks. Beech is ready to proceed and he nocks an arrow Niall plows ahead leading the way. Lothlo asks if the magical folk need a rest before continuing Naithi suggests that if they rest it will make them at full strength but they run the risk of potential ambush. She asks Zazu about setting traps. Zazu upon hearing the word traps resolves to go first with Niall while keeping an eye out for traps. Ash uses the cure wand on Niall.
The debate for resting seems to be settled against it, as most of the party indicates their preparedness for moving on. Zazu sees no traps, though he sees a small sigil embossed at the top of the strange metal hallway. Linguistics DC 25 or Know(History) DC20 to translate the symbol The party advances cautiously through the hallway and manage to make it to the other side without any difficulty whatsoever. As they emerge it quickly becomes clear that they’ve somehow ended up in the same room they just left though. The same busted statues, the same claw marks, the same plain stone walls.

"Huh! Well, that's an odd one. Maybe we were supposed to walk backwards?"
"Anybody know what that sigil means?" The elf points out the small inscribing in case merely mortal eyes missed it.

I never thought I'd end up in a underground cavern with all these traps, puzzles, and other such nonsense! I hope this magic lyre is worth the risk!"

Ash (RobC) -- AC 16*/12/14* -- CMD 13 -- HP 21/25 Wednesday March 17th, 2021 7:53:27 PM "Hmmm. The sigil says 'confusion'" Ash advises the others "Yes, let's try backwards. I've heard that sometimes works with puzzles like these"

Beech (JohnC) AC 14(18)/14/14,HP 1/20 Character Wednesday March 17th, 2021 10:04:53 PM
Beech will be in front, which actually means in the rear still with his bow at the ready.
Naithi (JamesD) AC: 19/14/17 HP: 23/23 , CMD = 16 Thursday March 18th, 2021 1:23:20 AM This should be interesting. I mutter as I coax Camalayas and Cuddly Mule to walk backwards.
DM Mitch Thursday March 18th, 2021 8:15:34 AM Zazu suggests that they are supposed to walk backwards and asks if anybody knows what the sigil means. Grindar remarks that he has no clue and that he never thought he’d end up in a magical underground labyrinth with traps, puzzles and other nonsense. He hopes the magic lyre is worth it. Ash is able to interpret the sigil as meaning ‘confusion’ and agrees with Zazu they try backwards. Lothlo agrees they can try walking backwards and worst case scenario they look and feel a little silly. Beech will be in the front which is actually the rear if they go backwards with his bow at the ready. Naithi thinks this will be interesting and has to coax her animals into doing the same thing as the rest of the party.
The party slowly and carefully advance into and through the hall with their backs turned. WIth some good coordination no one runs into anyone else, but they can’t see if it’s working until the person in the lead trips on some rubble from the room they just left. It seems walking backwards isn’t the answer.
Beech (JohnC) AC 14(18)/14/14,HP 1/20 Character Thursday March 18th, 2021 10:07:29 AM
Beech has an idea... "O.K., lets try this. We walk halfway, Turn around and walk back."

The ranger keeps Cyrchwr Mawr at the ready just in case of foul play. He carefully scans the room (takes 10) and the next room for anything that may pass for a clue, as well as any threats.

Niall (JonL) HP: 29/36 AC: 17/11/16 Thursday March 18th, 2021 6:06:50 PM
Niall goes along with whatever crazy plan the group has. Backwards, sideways, crab walk. Whatever they come up with.
Ash (RobC) -- AC 16*/12/14* -- CMD 13 -- HP 21/25 Thursday March 18th, 2021 7:00:30 PM
Before the group start walking, Ash tries a couple of things. She casts a dancing lights spell and sends it up to 130ft down the passage ahead, curious to see if it comes out behind her.
She then tries sending the lights halfway down the passage and then directing them to come back to her again, effectively testing what the party are about to try. Since the party have already made the trip once she thinks she's able to determine the midpoint.
Finally she tries sending the lights back the way the party came - keeping an eye on them the whole time - just to see what happens.
If she doesn't get any clues from any of that she'll follow along with the party, using the glowing hand-glove to make marks on the metal floor every 5ft as they go and keeping count of them.
Ash (RobC) -- AC 16*/12/14* -- CMD 13 -- HP 21/25 Thursday March 18th, 2021 9:03:51 PM Update:
She'll also use the glove to make a handprint on the floor of the room they currently stand in, just in case the party are just travelling through identical rooms.
Lothlo (WillD) -- AC: 19/15/14, HP: 35/36, CMD: 21 d20+9=13 ; Thursday March 18th, 2021 9:04:40 PM It may help to investigate this room a little to see if there are clues... perhaps it may help if we can figure out what the broken statues were. Lothlo takes a minute to examine the room to see if there are any clues about how this trick works or any hidden devices that may disable it.

Zazu (AC18, HP15/17) and Boyo the bunny (AC16, HP12) (Cayzle) Friday March 19th, 2021 7:38:42 AM
Zazu suggests attacking the glyph. If no one objects, the wizard uses repeated rays of frost.
DM Mitch 10d4=35 ; Friday March 19th, 2021 7:46:54 AM Beech suggests they walk halfway, turn around and walk back Grindar is game for anything at this point. He readies his axe and searches around for more clues to this puzzle. Nial goes along with whatever plan the group comes up with. Ash decides to try a couple of things. She sends the dancing lights down the hall only to see it disappear at the end of the hall and emerge among the party. She recreates what the party is about to attempt and considers sending them through the hallway they entered the room from originally but it was unbuilt when they entered and they’d have to wait for it to come back. (OOC: which version of the dancing lights spell did you cast? The one where the lights resemble will-o-wisps or the one where it is a single vaguely humanoid shape?)
She creates a glowing hand print on the point of the floor where the party currently stands and then puts one every five feet as they try the next thing. Lothlo takes minute to examine the room to see if there are any clues about how the trick works or any devices that may disable it. Lothlo and Grindar don’t really find anything further besides the glyph Zazu brought to everyone’s attention previously. Zazu tries destroying the glyph. Though the strange metal is highly resistant to damage he’s able to render the word ineligible. It doesn’t see to do anything though.
Ash’s second experiment seems to produce the results you want. The lights are visible halfway down the hallway, but when it seems like they should leave the hallway in front of the group they instead vanish, presumably appearing in the room on the other side.
With that seeming proof of what they should be doing the party is able to proceed. As they walk down the hallway thin wisps of fog start to drift lazily in their lights. By the time they find themselves in a new room it has grown into a thick cloud, totally blinding them (others within 5 feet have partial concealment, anything past that has total concealment)
A deep voice speaking in a low growl echoes through the chamber. ”So you’ve returned at last. This time I’ll take more then two of you with me.”
There’s the sound of a deep breath, then Niall, Grindar, and Cotton are hit by a blast of freezing cold that burrows deep into their bones. They take 17 cold damage, Reflex save DC 19 for half.

At the sound of the voice Niall will do a detect evil in its direction... and then get blasted with cold!
"ugh!" He cries out. "Can anyone see anything?"
Beech (JohnC) AC 14(18)/14/14,HP 1/20 Character 4d4=9 ; Friday March 19th, 2021 1:50:29 PM
Beech, not sure who, what or where a target is, sees the fog, and knows fire sometimes burns it off. Aiming to miss everyone in thew group, but still in the general direction of where that freezing blast came from, he slips the bow over his shoulder so he can use both hands to cast a Burning Hands, more to burn off the fog than anything else, but you never know what's beyond sight range....
9 Fire Damage in 15' hammer head cone missing the party.
Ash (RobC) -- AC 16*/12/14* -- CMD 13 -- HP 21/25 Friday March 19th, 2021 7:32:07 PM
From near the back Ash can't really see what is going on. Truth be told she pretty sure noone can really see what's going on.
She casts a Resist Energy (Cold) spell on herself and waits to see if anything responds to Naithi
--------- OOC: Ash had created the glowing ball version of the dancing lights. I also think her Alter Self would have expired by now and she's lost the boost to her strength and darkvision.

Lothlo moves to the side to make sure it's hard to hit the whole group with a single attack. If Beech's actions have revealed where their assailant is attacking from he will fire off two arrows. Otherwise he'll throw an alchemist's fire in a similar direction to try to reveal the a attacker.

DM Mitch d20+17=32 ; d6=6 ; d6=6 ; d20+16=27 ; d20+16=33 ; Monday March 22nd, 2021 7:37:54 AM Naithi calls out “Returned? We’ve never been here before! Can we talk about this? We don’t want to have to kill you.” Niall detects evil in the direction of the blast and gets hit with cold. He asks if anyone can see anything. Beech attempts to burn away the fog using burning hands, stowing his bow while he does so. Ash can’t see where she is and is pretty sure no one can. She casts resist energy (cold) on herself and waits to hear any response to Naithi. Lothlo throws an alchemist fire in the direction of the assailant. Grindar sees Cotton go down and then charges off in the direction of the voice attempting to attack it.
Neither Beech’s fire nor Lothlo’s alchemist fire affect the fog or find a mark on the enemy. Grindar’s charge brings him out of the fog and he finds it only extends about 20 feet forward into the room and 40 feet across.
As he charges out he can see their assailant. A large dragon of the purist white curled defensively about 40 feed from the entrace. It looks like it’s been in a really, really bad fight lately. Nothing's bleeding, but it’s missing teeth, one of it’s wings is crumpled, and half healed wounds crisscross it’s body. He charges right into it’s reach and it snaps at him with it’s jaws (dealing ten damage). Grindar’s counterblow skids off it’s icy hide before it’s claws send him to oblivion (two claw attacks for 14 damage, putting you at -7)
The dragon roars at the rest of the party. ”Again you speak peace while plotting my demise. Again you send your pathetic hirelings to fall before me. Come out so that we might meet Gargul together cowards!”

Zazu advances through the mists and then gasps. But he quickly takes in the situation ...
"Sir Dragon, we are not your enemy!"
"Somebody heal Grindar!"
"The best way to negotiate is to stop fighting! Everybody, just use full defense and let's get this misunderstanding sorted out!"
Zazu spends the round talking, and if he can, also uses full defense.

Beech walks towards the Dragon, trying to draw attention away from Grindar, by circling to a side away from where he lays... "My mother would skin me alive if I didn't at least make an offer... She may not be a Dragon herself, but she considers herself a Shaman and instilled in me a respect for those of the Dragonkind. Even one who is of a color variety. We came for the Instrument, as we are in the process of founding a settlement. It would be of great assistance. Now I can understand how you confused us with another group that may have attacked you before, but we only arrived a while ago and we did see signs of a fight at the entrance. Now think about this too, until just a very few moments ago, we had no idea that the large creature was a Dragon." Having blathered for a bit Beech hopes he's managed to keep the Dragon's focus on him as he moved away from the unconscious...

And if someone is plotting your demise, I would appreciate knowing who and why so we can make sure we haven't somehow been tricked into coming here.

Knowl Arcana: 22 to ID the dragon's strengths and weaknesses
DM Mitch Tuesday March 23rd, 2021 8:11:09 AM Zazu instructs the others to use full defense actions, taking one himself and asking for someone to heal Grindar. He entreats the dragon that they are not its enemy. Grindar goes down explaining the dragon was the one attacked first on his way out (you need to make stabilization checks for yourself and cotton please) Beech tries to keep the dragon’s attention away from Grindar as he expounds on what Zazu was saying explaining a bit about his heritage and why the party has come. Niall kneels with his sword point down trying to assure the dragon they have not fought before. Lothlo emerges, lowering his bow and not holding arrows. He asks the dragon to tell if he recognizes anyone among them. He also asks if someone is plotting the dragon’s demise he’d like to know and why so he can make sure they weren’t tricked into coming there. He offers a healing potion. Ash casts a spectral hand and takes a few steps forward to see what is going on. She realizes the white dragon is immune to cold paralysis and sleep and has spell resistance while being vulnerable to fire.
The dragon looks wildly at the party as they emerge from the mist one by one. With a word he sends a gust of wind howling through the room, ruffling clothes and banishing the mist. When he sees that no one is hiding in it he maybe relaxes a twinge. Maybe.

Ash is confident someone else can treat Grindar's wounds with a potion. She's going to try for the dragon.
"Here. Let me help you. This is a curing spell. It will help your wounds."
Ash casts a CLW spell and very slowly uses the spectral hand to deliver it to the dragon while she keeps her distance.

Heal check and sense motive both fail
DM Mitch d20+14=22 ; Wednesday March 24th, 2021 7:06:39 AM Beech puts down his bow on the floor and offers to help examine the dragon’s injuries. The extent of the wounds are beyond him though. Ash is confident someone else can treat Grindar and informs the dragon she is casting a healing spell with her spectral hand. Grindar thinks he hears the party negotiate with dragon and hopes they don’t suffer his fate Zazu continues to reassure the dragon while pouring a cure potion down Grindar’s throat. Niall takes a non-aggressive position and watches wearily. Lothlo gives the dragon its space. Reiterating that none in the party were among those that attacked it and his offer for a potion and interest in the dragon’s story. Naithi talks of being a druid and follower of Ma’ab. She offers a cure light wounds potion and some food as a sign of good faith.
The dragon tenses and looks ready to lash out as Ash sends her spectral hand over. It watches her casting closely and is seemingly able to confirm it’s a harmless healing spell. The spell makes it look better, though not certainly not all better and it quickly backs away from the spectral hand after the casting. This does put it far enough away from Grindar that Zazu is able to administer the healing potion without crowding the dragon and risking further misunderstanding.
The dragon speaks, no longer roaring but it’s voice still a deep rumble you can almost feel in your bones. ”I surmise from the look of you that you came for the instrument then? It is just past here, though the hall seals itself when I approach. As to my story well I’ll tell you but I’d appreciate the food and potions you offered first. I need to speed my recovery but I’m more than willing to sing for my supper as it were”
He seems calm enough to have a somewhat civil now, though obviously still very wary of letting you cast spells directly on him but open to at least accepting indirect castings through premade potions.

Though magically stabilized, and healed a bit, by Zazu's potion, Grindar is still unconscious. Though he can't interact with his friends, or the dragon for that matter, he hears that things are going well, and wonders, like his friends, what caused the dragon's current state, as well as it's name.

Lothlo hands the previously offered potion to the dragon. He also has a potion he can give to Grindar, but waits to see if they have healing spells left since it sounded like the magic people were still in good shape when they entered this room.

"I'm just going to heal my friend a little" Ash explains her actions before she takes them so as not to startle the dragon at all. "I'm Ash by the way. What's your name?"
Ash slowly takes the cure wand from her pocket and gives Grindar a prod with it.
Seeing him get healed she then looks back to the dragon "You see. This is a cure wand. If you'll allow me to approach you I could use it to heal your wounds further. Would that be ok?"
-------------- Use CMW wand. Clicked one too many d8s. Grindar is healed for 13pts
DM Mitch Thursday March 25th, 2021 8:14:17 AM Naithi places potion, food and water in front of the dragon. Grindar although stabilized is still unconscious but he can hear what is going on. Beech stows his bow and drags Grindar a few feet from the dragon. Lothlo hands the potion over to the dragon Zazu helps drag Grindar away from the dragon Ash confirms they are there for the instrument and asks if that is why the dragon is there too. She then uses the wand on Grindar and offers to use it on the dragon. She also introduces herself and asks the dragon its name.
The dragon says, “My name is Nydryt. I did not come hear for the instrument, I just came to realize something was different about it when its melody caused the dungeon to change.” The dragon proceeds to tuck into Naithi’s offerings of food and water and the 2 potions which after drinking the dragon looks better than it had before.
Nydryt says, “I do not know who is behind the attempts on my life, I suspect it has something to do with the yearning I felt to come to this thrice accursed. It is hard to explain but I felt drawn to this area as if there was a reason I needed to be here, a deeper reason, almost instinctual. I don’t know what it was but I could not ignore it, though in retrospect, I wish I somehow had found the strength needed to resist the lure. Despite how I felt, there is no good reason for me to be here. Shortly after arriving I was ambushed by the group I fought, some of whom whose remains you found on the surface, presumably. After I killed one of their hirelings the rest fled, only for more to come offering aid to make me lower my guard. Only luck had let me find this place and lose them in the maze. When I heard the hall shift and you lot coming I thought they had found me again and that my luck had finally run out. I was wrong on both counts. Tell me, do you think a temple of Warrd would accept an offering made by a white dragon? Perhaps I owe him something for helping me to survive this ordeal.”

With Ash's wand usage, Grindar finally comes around. He sits up and looks around, grumbling to himself "Where's the team of oxen that trampled me?"
He looks over at the parties new guest, and says, "I understand your story and believe your plight Nydryt, but you have one heck of a way of saying hello. I mean if your icy breath hadn't dropped Cotton, my rapke companion, I would have been all in favor of diplomacy first. Of course my charge wasn't very effective, and perhaps a bit ill fated, but still."
He looks towards his new friends and says, "Thanks for the life juice, I hope I didn't bleed all over anyone. By the way, has anyone giving Cotton a dose of the good stuff?"
Zazu (AC18, HP15/17) and Boyo the bunny (AC16, HP12) (Cayzle) Thursday March 25th, 2021 4:57:34 PM
Zazu is confused. "Did not Lord Gargul in fact not create the fathers and mothers of all the chromatic dragons, as is well known? And Wardd would surely honor that? And who would dare to disrespect a dragon come in peace to a temple, for any reason? Maybe you forget that while the noble races often fear dragons, we also respect and honor them."
The elf bows low to Nydryt.
"Though I suppose you would be less likely to cause panic in the streets were your glory hidden in a mortal humanoid's disguise."
Ash (RobC) -- AC 16*/12/14* -- CMD 13 -- HP 21/25 d8=2 ; d8=8 ; Thursday March 25th, 2021 7:55:39 PM
Ash grins slightly as she considers the possibility of a dragon in human form residing in the town with them. It could be a powerful ally. Then again, it could just as easily turn on the town and eat half of the population. Best not to rush into that just yet...
She pokes Cotton with the wand to bring the rapke round to consciousness again. The party might need to invest in another wand for someone else to use.
"Wardd is certainly known for bringing a bit of luck when it is needed. Perhaps he planned for us to meet like this? That we happened here to help you, and you here to help us in some way - now or in the future."
"Are you starting to feel better? Are you able to escape this place?"
Ash also looks about to see if she can see any of the dragon's missing teeth are about, or even a scale or two. They would be quite a memento of this meeting.
-------------- Use the CMW wand on Cotton. Cotton is healed for 15pts
Beech (JohnC) AC 14(18)/14/14,HP 20/20 Character Thursday March 25th, 2021 8:56:57 PM "Sorry friend, I can not heal.... yet" Beech even though he speaks eloquently, allows the others to do the talking....
Lothlo (WillD) -- AC: 19/15/14, HP: 35/36, CMD: 21 Thursday March 25th, 2021 9:27:24 PM I'm glad you are feeling better. With the way this place shifts will you be able to get out, or will you need assistance form the instrument to leave?
Naithi (JamesD) AC: 19/14/17 HP: 23/23 , CMD = 16 Friday March 26th, 2021 1:51:42 AM You are not the first dragon to make good home in the Culverwood. Perhaps there is something that draws your kind. Regardless, we would like to consider you a friend. Perhaps we can find a way for you to contact us if you are ever in trouble again.
DM Hugh - Wardd is certainly known for bringing a bit of luck when it is needed d20+10=21 ; d20+10=11 ; d20+7=25 ; d20+7=11 ; d8+3=11 ; Friday March 26th, 2021 8:27:01 AM Grindar finally comes around thanks to the wand. He points out that Nydryt has a heck of saying hello and asks if anyone has seen to Cotton yet. Zazu is confused by Nydryt’s attempt at humor and points out that while many noble races fear dragons they also respect and honor them. He suggests though the temple would probably take things better if Nydryt used a humanoid disguise. Ash considers the possibility of a dragon living in disguise among them, thinks the party should invest in another wand potentially and suggests perhaps Warrd has setup their fortuitous meeting.
Beech explains he doesn’t have the ability to heal yet.
Lothlo says he is glad Nydryt is feeling better and asks if he will be able to navigate the maze. Naithi suggests there is something that could be in the Culverwood that draws dragon’s there. She asks if there could be a way for him to contact them should he need their help again.
Nydryt says ”My apologies. I was being hunted and my only chance for survival was to get the drop on the pursuers. Leaving was never a problem, I think I figured out the maze, the problem was what awaited me outside. I am feeling better now and will flee this entire area as soon as possible. Somewhere isolated and cold.”
”As to your other questions, let me give you 6 of my scales as a token of friendship, perhaps they may help you contact me again should you have a need. As for myself, if I need to find you again in the future is there a location I may be able to reach you. Dragons can range far and wide so hopefully someplace that is not in this wood.”

As Cotton stirs from her unconscious slumber, Grindar rushes over and helps her find her legs. "That was one heck of a shock, you took there girl!" Grindar says to his rapke friend, "But you should be better now."
Turning to Nydryt, Grindar says, "I'm new to the Culverwood, only been here a few hours actually, but I've been told that if you respect the forest, and make sure to let it know of your respectful nature, the forest can be less of a bane, and sometimes even a boon. Unless I'm mistaken, my friends have chosen to make the Culverwood their home, and I feel obliged, and honored, to join them. Just because the former dragon that chose to dwell in the Culverwood was of an evil bent, doesn't mean you have to follow in it's foot steps. Unless I'm mistaken, one such as yourself would be a powerful asset to the fledgling community that my friends have been trying to build, and though I'm a new comer, hopefully I'm not out of bounds in offering you a home among us."
Beech (JohnC) AC 14(18)/14/14,HP 20/20 Character Friday March 26th, 2021 1:18:19 PM "Actually, we are settling on the Edge of the Culverwood. We are attempting to be co-existent with the spirit of the wood. We recently met with the local Fey and hope our overtures of peace are accepted. We traveled here to find the Instrument, we expect that it'll help us with the construction of our new home. If it works as expected, we could construct something for you to stay in if you visit as well. Oh, forgot to tell you the location, We are building along the river. That way we can in the future be a transfer point in cargo as well." Beech is still a bit nervous about the Dragon....
Zazu (AC18, HP15/17) and Boyo the bunny (AC16, HP12) (Cayzle) Friday March 26th, 2021 1:49:33 PM
Zazu takes a scale with a look of wonder. "Wow, this is a great honor."
The wizard thinks about fashioning it like a jewel into an amulet and enchanting it with the power of natural armor.
Lothlo (WillD) -- AC: 19/15/14, HP: 35/36, CMD: 21 Friday March 26th, 2021 9:25:39 PM
Lothlo graciously accepts a scale. We'll make sure to let the people know you may drop by one day, and that it will be a joyous day when you do.
Ash (RobC) -- AC 16*/12/14* -- CMD 13 -- HP 21/25 Friday March 26th, 2021 9:41:29 PM
Yeah, there's still something about inviting a white dragon home that feels a little dangerous. It would be nice to have Nydryt as an ally, but some trust would need to be developed in a situation where Nydryt wasn't just using them for help. You can't judge a dragon by it's color though.
She graciously accepts the scale as a gift, though still keeps her eyes open for one of the dragon's missing teeth.
Niall (JonL) HP: 12/36 AC: 17/11/16 Sunday March 28th, 2021 7:27:54 PM
niall thanks the dragon for the gift as the others explain where they are to be located.
Naithi (JamesD) AC: 19/14/17 HP: 23/23 , CMD = 16 Monday March 29th, 2021 2:14:48 AM
I thank the dragon and explain that we are outside the Deep Culverwood and give the location relative to Parnoth's Hill and the Lygn River. Since Parnoth's rule the trees haven't grown as thick there, so you should be able to reach us. Still, part of my wonders if what drew Parnoth to the Culverwood also is drawing you.
DM Mitch Monday March 29th, 2021 6:55:31 AM Grindar helps Cotton find her legs and then tries to invite Nydryt to stay with them. Beech explains that they are settling at the edge of the woods and that they have come for the instrument to aid construction of their home. He suggests they could use the instrument to construct something for Nydryt to stay in if he ever came to visit. Zazu accepts the scale with a look of wonder and thinks about using it to create an amulet of natural armor Lothlo says they’ll let the townsfolk know a dragon may show up one day if Nydryt wants to come for a visit. Ash is uncertain about having Nydryt live with them and thinks trust would need to be developed. She accepts the scale and continues to look for teeth. Ash does not find any teeth, but she remembers that the fight between Nydryt and his ambushers happened on the surface and perhaps there are dragon teeth there if anywhere. Niall Thanks the dragon for the gift. Naithi wonders if whatever is drawing Nydryt also drew Parnoth.
Nydryt gives a short, sharp laugh at Grindar’s offer. ”Ha! Me live here? I was barely in the area an hour before I was tracked down and nearly killed. Their hirelings, whom I barely managed to kill two of, were stronger than you. The leaders far, far stronger.. I am not so foolish as to assume I will not be found again, nor so cruel as to bring such enemies down upon your home. I made my offer thinking you were merely questing in these accursed woods. I’m not coming within 100 miles of the place for the next century if I can help it.”
He stands and stretches. He’s looking a lot better, most of his wounds magically healed. ”Enough chatter. It is time for me to leave. Good luck mortals. Try not to draw the attention of those who came for me. It’ll be the death of you.”
With those parting words he heads into the strange hallway you came from. Another hallway heads west and presumably to your final goal.

Grindar is a bit disappointed by the dragons refusal, but he didn't really expect Nydryt to take him up on their offer either. "I respect your decision, and understand your reasoning, I will also do my best to heed your warning. Thank you friend dragon hopefully one day we shall meet again, albeit under better circumstances!"
Turning to his friends he asks, "Shall we follow?"
Beech (JohnC) AC 14(18)/14/14,HP 20/20 Character Monday March 29th, 2021 5:38:16 PM
Beech retrieves the scale left for him, and stashes it away carefully.... "Well, everyone up to exploring the rest? We still have yet to find the instrument we came after. And we should keep an eye out for those whom attacked the Dragon." Beech reset himself, bow in hand and arrow at the ready....
Ash (RobC) -- AC 16*/12/14* -- CMD 13 -- HP 21/25 d20=14 ; Monday March 29th, 2021 7:06:03 PM
Ash waits for the dragon to leave and then looks to Niall "Uh, Niall. Just for my own curiosity, would you mind checking for the presence of an evil aura where that dragon was just sitting? I wasn't going to say anything in front of him in case he was insulted. I could be completely wrong here, but thought it might be worth knowing."
She waits for one of the others to take the lead and will then follow behind.
Perception: 14
Lothlo (WillD) -- AC: 19/15/14, HP: 35/36, CMD: 21 Monday March 29th, 2021 9:02:08 PM
Lothlo nods his head. I agree with Beech, let's grab the instrument and head out. We don't know when those hirelings are going to be coming back, and I'd prefer we put as much distance between us and this place before they return.
Zazu (AC18, HP15/17) and Boyo the bunny (AC16, HP12) (Cayzle) Monday March 29th, 2021 11:08:16 PM
Zazu waves farewell, and is interested in what Niall might detect.
Then it is time to push onwards.
Naithi (JamesD) AC: 19/14/17 HP: 23/23 , CMD = 16 Tuesday March 30th, 2021 1:20:24 AM
I say my goodbyes and wait to see what the results of evil aura are.
DM Mitch Tuesday March 30th, 2021 8:28:43 AM Grindar thanks Nydryt for the warning and then asks if they are ready to proceed after the instrument. Beech stows the scale and asks the others if they are feeling up to continue exploring, readying his bow. Ash waits for the dragon to leave then asks Niall to detect evil. After that she positions herself in the rear of the group Lothlo agrees that they should find the instrument and head out lest they run into the hirelings Zazu waves farewell and is interested in what Niall detects before agreeing about pushing onward. Naithi says her own goodbyes and waits for the results of Niall’s divination.
There is no aura lingering that Niall can detect, With nothing left to do here they proceed into the next room. A natural stone tunnel, like those found all over the dungeon, leads them a short way west before changing into a large chamber of the same strange metal in that confusing hallway you had to turn around in. You hear music as you approach, low and melodic, and gold glints in your lights before you fully enter it revealing a treasure room. Piles of treasure lay around a central plynth upon which sits a metallic woman, some sort of construct.
She is softly playing a harp or lyre. On seeing the party, she raises it and it turns into a horn of some sort. Her music crescendos and echoes through the cavern. The ghostly mist passes you, heading out to change the dungeon layout no doubt. After several seconds she lowers the instrument, no longer playing, and looks at the group with interest.

Beech (JohnC) AC 14(18)/14/14,HP 20/20 Character d20+5=24 ; Tuesday March 30th, 2021 1:24:33 PM "Good Afternoon, you are the keeper of the Melody? We had heard of your fine instrument and came to investigate about it...."
Beech is trying to be diplomatic, so he will have stashed away his bow, before addressing the metal woman....
Diplomacy 24
Niall (JonL) HP: 12/36 AC: 17/11/16 Tuesday March 30th, 2021 8:45:01 PM
Niall does not expect much from a construct but will detect evil just the same. Never know.
Ash (RobC) -- AC 16*/12/14* -- CMD 13 -- HP 21/25 d8=1 ; d8=7 ; d8=5 ; Tuesday March 30th, 2021 8:54:40 PM "Hi there! I'm Ash. What's your name?" the young bloodwitch gives a wave "This is quite a maze of tunnels you have here. Is it all to protect you and the instrument?"
Ash notices that Grindar still has some fresh wounds so prods him a little more with the cure wand. She'll heal Cotton next.
-------------- Knowl Arcana: 20 (Take10) to ID the construct Use CMW wand on Grindar. Grindar healed for 15pts
Lothlo (WillD) -- AC: 19/15/14, HP: 35/36, CMD: 21 Tuesday March 30th, 2021 9:12:55 PM
Lothlo Bows. Hello, please know that come here peacefully and do not intend any harm. Do you know anything about the dragon that was in the other room or why he was attracted to this place? By any chance did you call him here with your music?
Zazu (AC18, HP15/17) and Boyo the bunny (AC16, HP12) (Cayzle) Tuesday March 30th, 2021 11:12:46 PM
Zazu wishes Náro were here. He loved music. Loves.
Feeling a little melancholy, the elf watches and listens, enjoying the music.
When it ends, Zazu claps and bows.
Naithi (JamesD) AC: 19/14/17 HP: 23/23 , CMD = 16 Wednesday March 31st, 2021 2:03:29 AM
With Beech taking the lead I take a knee and bow my head as I listen to the music. Quietly I begin to hum along.
DM Mitch Wednesday March 31st, 2021 8:41:17 AM Grindar thinks Great another construct while he defers to other more charismatic party members. Beech takes a diplomatic tact with the construct stashing his bow before inquiring about the construct and instrument. Niall detects evil on the construct Ash introduces herself and compliments the maze. She then uses the wand on Grindar some more while trying to identify the construct. Lothlo bows and says they come in peace. He also makes inquiries into the dragon and if the music had an alluring effect on him. Zazu listens and enjoys the music thinking on how Náro would have enjoyed it. He claps and bows after the performance. Naithi takes a knee, bows her head and hums along to the music.
The construct is alien to Ash. She has never heard of one like it in fact if she had to guess it was likely made of the same foreign alloy the walls in the strange hallway were made of.
The construct speaks in a melodious voice similar to that of the instrument it plays. ”i have no name. I merely care for this vault and the maze until someone returns for it. Someone is here, so my duty is done. The maze protects the vault from the unworthy. I had nothing to do with the dragon taking up residence here. I did not summon it nor do I know why it is attracted to the area. These treasurers are not meant for one such as it.” Done playing, it sets aside the instrument and continues to just look at the party with calm indifference.
Grindar, son of Grindor (Jeremy) HP 25/32 AC 18/12/16 CMD 21 Cotton HP 9/20 AC 17/12/15 CMD 15 Wednesday March 31st, 2021 9:33:05 AM "When you say your duty is done,do you mean to say that we are now responsible for protecting this vault, and it's contents, or that we are the right ones to claim it?, Grindar asks. "Your words are a bit cryptic, could you explain yourself?"
Beech (JohnC) AC 14(18)/14/14,HP 20/20 Character Wednesday March 31st, 2021 6:22:21 PM
Beech is suspicious, but listens to what the construct has to say about the loot.....
Niall (JonL) HP: 12/36 AC: 17/11/16 Wednesday March 31st, 2021 7:05:35 PM
"Hmm. So the we made it through and now it can be ours?" Niall asks, perhaps a bit dubiously. "Now what is your duty?"
Zazu (AC18, HP15/17) and Boyo the bunny (AC16, HP12) (Cayzle) Thursday April 1st, 2021 2:08:12 AM
Zazu approaches the construct. "Please miss, we could really use a magical item like that. Would you be so kind as to let us take it and depart?"
"Also, if you would like a new home, we would be pleased to invite you to come to ours."
Zazu looks around at everybody. "Isn't that right?"
DM Mitch Thursday April 1st, 2021 8:02:51 AM Grindar is confused on if they are being asked to guard the place or told they could empty it. Beech is suspicious. Niall is equally dubious, wondering what the construct does after the treasure is gone. Zazu says they’d really like the instrument and offers to take the construct back home with them.
”I create the maze. The maze keeps out the unworthy. You made it through. The contents of this vault are now yours, including the instrument. Take it and I shall seal the vault behind you and go dormant until my masters return to store new things here.”
She doesn’t seem to acknowledge or understand Zazu’s offer for her to go with them. Also, a closer look reveals she’s built into the plinth, not sitting on it. For her to leave you’d have to somehow dismantle the plinth and build her legs, which might just break her if important parts are inside said plinth.
Naithi (JamesD) AC: 19/14/17 HP: 23/23 , CMD = 16 Thursday April 1st, 2021 8:56:28 AM

In fact down in Stone Temple, that's located in the Crystal Mountains, down in the Sargrass Plains, the called my the singing Orc. However playing an instrument is beyond me."

Already wary about just touching things outright, Ash casts a Mage Hand cantrip to pick up the instrument and place it in her backpack.
She then casts a Detect Magic spell and looks around at the rest of the treasures in the vault
Lothlo (WillD) -- AC: 19/15/14, HP: 35/36, CMD: 21 Thursday April 1st, 2021 9:07:20 PM
Lothlo looks around and realizes that this isn't the most musically talented group.
I have had basic training with the Lyre. I may not be the greatest, but I can carry a simple tune If I'm the only one with training I'm happy to use it if needed on the way home.
Zazu (AC18, HP15/17) and Boyo the bunny (AC16, HP12) (Cayzle) Thursday April 1st, 2021 11:39:06 PM
Thank you, miss.

DM Mitch Friday April 2nd, 2021 6:48:47 AM Naithi thanks the construct woman for her kindness, but defers to someone else to claim the instrument. Grindar reveals he can sing a little and that he had the nickname of the singing orc once but playing an instrument is beyond him. Beech also admits to not being very skilled either when it come to music Ash says she’d be happy to learn how to play it and reaches out a mage hand to take the horn. She then casts detect magic and looks around at the rest of the treasures. Lothlo realizes this isn’t the most musical group and volunteers that he has basic lyre training. Zazu thanks the construct woman.
The construct watches placidly and patiently while the party gathers and identifies all the loot.

Grindar whistles through his tusks as he begins to do some calculations on the estimated value of the loot pile, then asks, "Can anyone identify these potions, oils, and wands?"
Beech (JohnC) AC 14(18)/14/14,HP 20/20 Character d20+7=26 ; d20+7=14 ; d20+7=20 ; d20+7=13 ; d20+7=20 ; d20+7=23 ; d20+7=23 ; d20+7=22 ; d20+7=13 ; d20+7=11 ; d20+7=10 ; d20+7=18 ; Friday April 2nd, 2021 11:30:09 AM
Beech will attempt to figure them out.
After examining the magical items, Beech says "Well, I understand some of these. The ones I don't are Scroll #2, Potion #1, Both wands, the Elixir and this Feather is seriously powerful and difficult to identify. Anyone else wanna try them."
Niall (JonL) HP: 12/36 AC: 17/11/16 Friday April 2nd, 2021 1:57:44 PM
"I'm not going to be much help with indentidyibf them Im afraid, "Niall says apologetically.
Ash (RobC) -- AC 16*/12/14* -- CMD 13 -- HP 21/25 Friday April 2nd, 2021 6:35:04 PM
Ash points out the items and then explains what each one is. The feather is still a bit of a head scratcher though.
"Well, we came here for the instrument so this is all extra. Does anyone want to claim any of these items? There's nothing there of particular use to me"
---------------- Spellcraft check vs DC27: 14 = Fail! Unable to ID the feather Spellcraft checks: 22 (Take10) IDs all the rest

Lothlo looks at the pile of goods before them. Magic stuff huh? I'm afraid that unless it's a bow I'm useless at identifying that type of thing. Doesn't look like there is anything in there I have a special need for.

A FYI on situation.....
Just updating people, still in hospital, the multiple infections are being a pain to untangle. sometime tomorrow i should be finding out if i'm headed home or to a rehab center, it all depends on if the antibiotics can be pills or not. i'll try and keep people informed.

Do you know where I might find some, or is there any way I might be able to get enough to make a frying pan and cooking knives out of?

Zazu says, "Identifying things is my specialty!"
Rolling for the feather vs DC27 ... 16!
"But this one is a tough one!"
The elf helps everyone get ready to go, and bows to the construct one last time.
