'Osul catches Neshi's light-copper, and holds it at a height as he drift along. Again he is paying more attention to the upper half of the tunnel. {Perception: 21+36=57} ___________________ Resistance

Light is easily handed out, and with many light spells coupled with some dancing lights, and Elyngael's sunblade, vision is fairly decent, of course it would still be dim light, but it illuminates a pretty large area. The tracks of the molten iron giants is quite easy to follow, and travel within the remains of Vurm's burrow is just as easy as it was before. As you follow the trail you begin to recognize which part of Vurm's burrow you are in, and those who are keeping their eyes peeled spot it first. The acid pit! Osul is the first to notice that the molten iron giants footprints seem to be coming from the acid pit, and with her darkvision goggles, Elyngael is the first to notice that about 50 ft or so up the shaft, over the acid pit, the burrow is blocked by a huge rock that has wedged itself in the shaft, sealing off the shaft, and protecting the acid pit, and burrow below from the cave in. DC 30 knowledge engineering Highlight to display spoiler: {It appears as though the rock was designed to wedge like it did, of course why someone would want to protect a pit filled with acid isn't clear.}

Greetings Woldians!
We have TWO games that have achieved Level 20 and just retired over the weekend! So in our usual tradition, we're holding a celebration for the next few days on the Giggling Ghost board!
Folks are already beginning to gather. We expect everyone to join in and post daily on the GG board, but all are excused from posting in their "regular career game" through Wednesday at least. :) It doesn't mean you can't post, just that you don't have to.
DMs if you're in combat, feel free to just post a "pause until after Wednesday" if you'd like, or you can do that anyway. These celebrations are important as both of these games have players who have been working for at least 9 years to achieve this retirement for their PCs.
--DMs may take the role of an NPC or 2 if they wish and hand out dishes, create action, help out, etc. --Anyone may take the stage and tell a story or sing a song. --Post as many times a day as you'd like on the Giggling Ghost board.
Entertain yourselves and enjoy!
Yes you may go there now and post. Yes you should go there now and post. What are you waiting for? Yes, now is fine. Are you still reading this? Why?

"Well that's certainly strange. The rock formation was designed to protect the acid pit. So is the acid pit concealing something?"
Armand examines the pit and edges again for magic with his detect magic spell and generally look for some sort of concealed passage trigger or something. Perception 15 (d20+7)
Knowledge Arcane to try and figure out what type of acid it is and how to neutralize it, or knowledge nature, there's not really a knowledge Alchemy for original pathfinder?

Elyngael will search for any secret doors, or switches to possibly drain the acid. Perception d20+23=25
DM(James M) - Map - Pits and Acid Tuesday June 29th, 2021 8:43:27 AM Atlas moved along the hollowed out area and tried not to fall.
Armand looked at the acid pit carefully in the hope to find a clue.
Vamir waited for someone more qualified to sort things out.
Elyngael looked for secret doors or switches to drain the acid.
The burrow was much more oppressive than it had been when the dragon occupied it and it felt like there was much less air in here than before. It was also unnaturally warm as if the golems had spent some time here before moving on.
Elyngael and Armand Highlight to display spoiler: {In your search you find a footprint half in and half out the acid pool. Based on the direction of the footprint it looked like the golem walked out of the acid.}
KS: Dungeoneering DC 18 Highlight to display spoiler: {The smell of the acid is off. It might not be acid.}

Or is it perhaps keeping minions from falling in accidently??
Looking at the acid, Neshi shakes his head. "Well that certainly is a lot of acid".... (Yup, Back to those sub par skill rolls....:>( )

Armand says, "Look." and points to a footprint half in the acid and half out of the acid. Now that he's closer, he takes sniff. "This doesn't smell like any sort of acid I've encountered before. And the whole acid pit is radiating magic."Wouldn't the knowledge Arcane also give me the school since I have Detect Magic going?
Armand considers. "We could try to dispel it or maybe even if Neshi wants to cast a disintegrate on it to get rid of it. We know that it's not an illusion since the last time through here I had True Sight going."
I guess that's it until July 5, since we're supposed to go to the party in the giggling ghost.

DM(James M) - Map - Pits and Acid Wednesday June 30th, 2021 9:17:04 AM Neshi looks at the acid and shakes his head. Armand looks over the acid pit carefully with his expert eye. Vamir keeps an eye out for danger. Osul adds his thoughts on the subject of the acid.
Armand knelt at the edge of the acid pit and looked at the bubbling pool of green liquid. Highlight to display spoiler: { As he looked he detected a faint glistening substance sprinkled at the edge of the acid. With his fingers he touched it and rolled it around in his hand. Shards of glass....no, diamond dust. He swiped a hand through the dust and broke the enchantment. There was a circle of protection around the pool preventing him from seeing the true nature of the acid. Now that the circle was broken he could see it for what it was. An illusion. Armand could clearly see a portal here with it's water like reflective surface rippling in the light.From what he knew of these kinds of portals there should be something on the other side that could be used to close it.}
What everyone else sees: Armand knelt down and ran his fingers gently along the dirt at the edge of acid pool and then briefly rubbed his fingers together before swiping his hand in a line directly away from the edge of the acid.
WILL Save DC 18 Highlight to display spoiler: {You see that the pool of acid is an illusion and what sits there looks like a large pool of rippling water.}
Armand (Robert D)AC 25/touch 11/flat 24 HP 112/112 CMD 24 Character Sheet Wednesday June 30th, 2021 5:46:39 PM
Armand wonders if he was briefly out of his mind by running his hand through potential but unlikely acid, I mean he's got stuff he would normally have tested the acid with.
"Guys, this is an illusion, it's protected by a magic circle. But it looks like the illusion is covering some sort of permanent portal or gate. I wonder if the gate will take us to the stars?"

Brawn and Elyngael think Armand is loosing touch with reality. "That's acid, how is your hand not burned off. Did you cast a protection spell?"

well I can certainly cast a disintegrate but I think it might be a waste.
DM(James M) - Map - Pits and Acid Thursday July 1st, 2021 12:59:11 PM Neshi didn't think a disintegrate spell would be the thing to use as it might be a waste. Armand revealed that the acid was an illusion concealing a portal. The illusion was concealed by a magic circle preventing it's detection. Vamir continued to keep an eye out for danger. Osul congratulated Armand and suggested the portal might take them to the stars or perhaps the crystal mountains. Elyngael is amazed that Armand wasn't harmed when he brushed aside the magic circle. To her eyes he put his hand in the acid.
With the revelation that the acid was an illusion and Armand's destruction of the magic circle all were able to see the portal for what it was. As the others had suggested the portal resembled a pool of water rippling from it's center. It was definitely magic in nature and to all it appeared to be the source of the monsters coming into the sargrass to attack the harvesters.

Well, look at that. Ok so now that we have found it do we just shut it down? Or do we go through and deal what's on the other side and then shut it down? Or something else altogether?
Armand (Robert D)AC 25/touch 11/flat 24 HP 112/112 CMD 24 Character Sheet Thursday July 1st, 2021 5:52:49 PM
Armand shakes his head. "I think just covering it with a wall of stone or even a wall of iron isn't going to solve the problem long-term. I'm afraid we're going to have to go in and see what happens."

Vamir and Melzat look at the portal and shake their collective heads. "What if one of us just stick our head in and see if it is actually a liquid before we cast any additional spells?"

Since Elyngael can now see the portal she nods to herself, turns to Brawn, "Let's go." and they both jump in.
