Manolo tries to maneuver acrobatically to I9
If successful, he shouts "Attack!",
A menaceful look in Manolo's eyes glister/glistern or begins to appear/form.
He proceeds to stab the zombie(H10) in front of him with his short sword.

Acrobatics 19
Attack #1 31( natural 20) confirmation for attack roll is 25
Damage 6 (12 if critical)
Sneak Attack Damage 11 (due to flank)

OOC: Flank bonus of +2 on H8 and H9 , didn't apply it on my roll as the results high enough I believe (:

Drack will again continue his onslaught with three swings, with the order of targets the same as last round. If both targets end up dead, he will take a free 5' move closer to the next target.

With a quick look over his shoulder and a sly smile, Mortimer jokingly says to Drack, "Good to see ya decided to join us." He then continues to slash away on the zombie he was already attacking.

(Mortimer attacks same zombie. Hit AC: 22 and 22. Damage: 6+2 = 8 slashing/silver damage.)

Torry continues to hold H8’s attention. It does continue to try and grab her, as it cant swing its cutlass, but the lithe dancer is a tease and won’t let the zombie give her hugs and squeezes.

From behind Torry and over Drack’s shoulder, Manolo gracefully leaps over his friends and behind the enemy line, technically gaining flanking on H9 and H8, and then attacks H9… ripping into it’s back and it drops to the floor, black bile and blood oozing out, and stinking to high heaven

Gnubert and Ash are both standing at the ready to jump in and defend or aid their friends (I envision them splitting a bag of popcorn and playing at being commentators on the action lol)

Drack attacks F10, in order to drop it and move further into the combat … and with three solid hits the zombie hits the floor, again, lack bile and blood oozing out, and stinking to high heaven

Mortimer again attacks the zombie that’s trying to woo Torry twice, shredding more of it’s skin off

Loryn continues to enjoy watching the show, probably while humming “Let the bodies hit the floor”

Zombie:
H8 retaliates against Mortimer - and misses terribly
H10 attacks Manolo - and misses terribly
G10 attacks Drack - and misses

Damage Done:
G8 – 19/??
G10 – none
H10 – none

Manolo attack the zombie that he is flanking but his hand is a little bit unsteady and his lungs are a out of a breath or two due to the acrobatics and attacking a few moments ago.
"Don't worry you are next", he says as he tries to land quickly 2 piercing stabs.

It was embarrassing. Everyone could hit and hurt the nasty zombies but her! Torryn could take no more. She attacked once more. In her haste though, her whipped back fist missed the creature's nose. Fortunately , her axe kick and subsequent mule kick were more accurate. (ACs: 25 &17) The strikes however, were not particularly solid. (1 & 3)

Mortimer moves a 5-ft step (to H9) to give Drack more room to maneuver. He again continues his attack on the same zombie until he is properly shredded.

(Mortimer attacks Zombie H8. Hit AC: 11 & 25. Damage: 4+5 = 9 slash/silver damage. Hopefully H8's -4 penalty to AC, for squeezing in a small space, is enough for my 1 to hit.)

Mortimer looks back notices Ash's sadness. 'I wonder what that's about,' he thinks, 'did he run out of bat guano again?' He nods thinking that was it. They were just coming out of the Great Bat Constipation. There were guano shortages all around the Wold.

Round 7 map

IC: Gnubert and Ash continue to pass their "popcorn bag" as they watch their friends begin to decimate the zombies

Loryn maintains his dancing lights as they help illuminate the battle, all the while wondering about an acronym for the groups' monniker

Torry aids Loryn in his thinking ... Thinking

Manolo, as he is flanking the wedgied zombie (H8), smacks it twice, and then smiles as he watches it collapse onto the floor, oozing black stinky blood t

Mortimer moves forward to allow Drack a slot to move into, and then turns his attention to the zombie next to him (H10), striking it twice, doing 9 damage to it ... it doesn't look happy

Drack who has been holding his attacks can easily attack either G10 or H10 at his leisure Highlight to display spoiler: { Go ahead and attack whichever you want to hit }

H10 tries to hit Mortimer back, but fails to connect
G10 attacks Drack, and REALLY misses the paladin

H10 9/??

It seemed that there really wasn't much that Torryn could do. None of her attacks seemed to have any effect at all! Luckily, the others were more than capable and readily handled the situation.

Torryn's WBL is currently c15k. However, the necklace of Fireballs has only one charge remaining and will be used - likely soon. She also has a potion of Bull's Strength that's of very little use to her. She'll likely pass it to Drack before the next big fight. With those 2 items discounted, she'll be at 14k.

(ooc: Mortimer's needs are rather basic. He would like his mithral sickle to be at least +1 magic with frost ability. He would also like buffs to his Charisma, being a Sorcerer. A Circlet of Persuasion would be nice... buffs Charisma-based skills. Anything that buffs ability scores, saves and armor class would be a benefit for everyone.)

Cool - this came from a convo Ryan and I are having with Jerry and Cayzle ... I'm gonna go through everyone's toon sheets tonight to see what GP value all your items are and then I have a dollar figure I need to make sure we hit by the time this adventure is done =)

Are y'all ok with "alternate" magical items that still do the same thing ... instead of a circlet, you'd get some smashing dragon eaarings, or knee high stiletto heel boots of ass whooping

OOC: Such is perfectly fine for Torryn. I've alternate slotted items before; so long as they occupy that stated slot, nothing else can. It's just a cosmetic change. I anticipate having to visit the Catacombs, as finding anything useful to her is unlikely.

Gnubert continues watching the battle go down. The prowess his friends are showing is pretty amazing.

OOC: Gnubert is looking for anything that will enhance both his wisdom, and channeling abilities. Additionally, a belt of Con/Str/Dex would be pretty amazing, better armor, and or a shield. That is my short list. Finding items for small charcters is hard while adventuring.

That last of the enemies falls and the area goes quiet accepting the hard breathing of some and the sound of bones rolling about. Unsurprisingly the undead are not carrying anything of value and there is not a bag of gold or diamonds to be found among the stinking corpses and piles of bones.

Nothing moves and after a moment you are sure they are not going to move again unless a necromancer shows up and puts in some serious work.

While not the welcome anyone wants it is the welcome you got and both rooms are free to explore. A quick look reveals that there is nothing of interest, at least at a glance, The lower room at least has an opening on the far end.

Manolo and Mortimer are very confident that there is nothing of value they are missing on the un-undead or in either the northern or southern room.

The group moves into the southern room and look into the next with the help of dancing lights. The room itself is larger, roughly forty foot square and there are three passages leading form it. The northern and southern passages you cannot see into without entering the room proper and the southern, thanks to the dancing lights, appears to lead downward. There is not a sound to be heard and the room itself is fairly unadorned.

"I'm just as grateful Ash, because I did next to nothing then." Torryn confessed. As if to make amends, she moved swiftly forward.

Trusting to her Dancer senses, Torryn stepped into the next room She kept a wary eye open for trouble as well as feeling for the tell-tale ickiness of evil. being quiet really didn't seem to be that important given the recent noise of the battle.

Torryn leads the groups in while others keep a sharp eye for any trouble. The room appears as it seemed, fairly large and empty save some dust, the work of time and two high quality candles laying on the floor as if discarded.

The walls and floor and as smooth as joined stone can be. The ceiling is pretty much the same thought the smooth surface is broken by and equally smooth area that is a few inches lower, possibly working around some geological issue or some such. The stone covering this area is identical to the other stone.

To the south you see a hallway that turns after a short time. To the east there are a set of starts the lead down into the dark. To the north is dark but you can make out what looks like the shape of a dark stone altar. Getting closer you see the stone altar is a black of black basalt with two silver single candle holders sitting on it. You also see just enough left to know that a cloth once covered the altar but it has been lost to time.

Torryn didn't need that much light to see and the light from Drack's helm, even at a distance was sufficient for her keen eyes. (Sees twice as far as a Human in dim light) She went North and peered into that room, still remembering to Detect for Evil. Just to be sure, she invoked her Fey magic and sought out any magic in the area. (Detect Magic)

Mortimer didn't need any light to be able to see. With his darkvision activated, the darkness hid no secrets. In a low tone, he offers words of encouragement to others who were disappointed with their performance in the previous combat.

"Don't feel bad 'bout those zombies (Knowledge [Religion]: 23). "You were only usin' the wrong weapon. Those dead buggers can take a punch ... an pokin' at their innards won't do much, being dead and all." Mortimer turns to Ash and continues to say, "These corpses were full of seawater. That's probly why your fireball didn't do much harm. Devil's in the details, yeah."

Mortimer moves with the group, checking the shadows and looking for anything of interest or infamy. (Perception: 11)

Loryn could see well enough and all, just like elves, but Loryn was simply not an overly perceptive individual. Most of the others, if not all of them could pick out details and sometimes terribly obvious objects that his mind simply would gloss over. The altar was not one of those things though.

Eyeing the paladin and easily reading him, "Altar?" Loryn knows the answer and simply prepares to move forward.

Torryn moves to the north along with Dack to check out the altar. Closer they can see a fancy amulet laying between the candle sticks. There are no candles in this room, just the ones that were on the floor in the other room. The candle sticks have a very faint divine energy when detect magic is applied, as do the candles, and nothing shows up as evil.

Manolo move to the south and sees that the hallway turns to the west after only ten feet. His attention is quickly shifted to the east well where he sees an oddity in the stone work. A moment of poking about shows what can only be a classic secret door and opening mechanism that seems to be currently locked.

The rest of the group discusses the battle with the zombies and skeletons and the importance of clearing out one floor at a time when in a place like this.

"They are a bit magical." Torryn pointed in the direction of the candles and candlesticks on the altar. "I'm not seeing anything on the amulet though." She knew that Drack knew that nothing radiated evil; so said nothing on that matter. Equally she knew that he knew that she knew. So figured he wouldn't say anything either.

"Why leave an ordinary amulet?" She queried and then moved forward for a better look.

With a raised eyebrow and a curled lip, he replies in a sarcastic tone, "Yeeaah, my genius will shake the earth beneath us."

As curious things are found, the altar, candle sticks and candles, his curiosity agrees with Loryn's statement. "Agreed, those candles are beggin' to be lit. Time to be nimble an' be quick, I'd say."

He moves closer to the altar to see if there are any markings or runes that might help identify what Power or deity this altar was meant to commune with.

The group discusses the presence of candle sticks and over candles making the decision to light them. Those near the alter set to work while Manolo stands near the unopened and locked secret door.

With the group spread out and attention focused on the altar a shape drops down from the ceiling as the small bit of stonework that was lower vanishes having been an illusion nearly flush with the ceiling. A large ray-like drops on Gunbert attempting to engulf him. The creature opens a toothy maw and leers with glaring red eyes. Behind it whips a menacing tail of segmented bone.

It all happened fast but now, in the center of the room is Gnubert wrapped tight in a large ray like creature. Looking at the creature seems difficult, almost like it is blurry to the eye.

Mortimer's scrutinizing of the altar had caused him to drop his guard; he was completely surprised. He immediately moves to a less crowded section of the room and invokes his power over shadows. Grabbing a handful of shadow, he sends them hurtling at the large ray in the form of three shadowbolts.

(Mortimer casts Shadowbolt [aka magic missile] at the Ray. Damage: 9 force damage.)

Mortimer wonders how this manta-ray is surviving outside the water.

Turning at the noise, Torryn is shocked to see a strange aberration engulfing Gnubert. Magic flares around the scene targeting the monstrous thing. perhaps it would be sufficient, perhaps not; Torryn just wanted it to let go of Gnubert. Strangely, despite the stress of the situation, she calmly recalled some of her training. Maybe she could get it to release Gnubert. She was confident that she could - IF - she could strike the thing perfectly. It was not going to be easy, but she had to try!

Torryn stepped forward to try to help Gnubert, but didn't even get to the battle. She slipped on an errant piece of stone and only just (acrobatics) caught herself - otherwise that would have been a most ignominious landing.

Next time. She'd get it next time! Hopefully.

{ooc: Engulf is the special ability of the cloaker, basically grappled BUT attacks against the cloaker also damage the one trapped inside.}

Gnubert attempts to break from the grapple but does not make it. {ooc: See email for why.}

Mortimer and Loryn react in similar fashions and mussels fire at the creature causing it to moan in pan and Gunbert to squeak out as well.

Manolo snaps out of it and yells about a secret door and what he knows of the creature. .

Torryn tuns at the noise in an attempt to help but stumbles and misses. (Hero Point for excellent miss description.}

Ash launches off a magic missle the the others causing even more damage to the creature.

Drack moves up and strikes the creature causing decent damage and eliciting a yelp from Gnubert.

Gnubert, trapped inside the cloaker yelps in pain as he takes damage from all of the attacks at the cloaker. The combined attacks take down the cloaker but also do 24 points of damage to Gnubert.

The cloaker slides off of a bruised Gnubert leaving him standing in the center of the room having gone though quite a confusing and probably terrifying the ordeal.

He would not have thought taht force magic would do such a thing, but he would also never have guessed that a cloak like creature even existed. "Sorry Gnubert" is about all he can muster to say "Better out than in i hear though eh?"

Gnubert would be calling on some healing shortly, Loryn returns to the other room to fetch the candles.

IF, nothing awful presents itself in the next couple of minutes, once Gnubert is healed somewhat, he places the candles upon the altar in the candle holders and hops back for the anticipated explosion

Emotions rippled through Torryn in quick succession.
Embarrassment: she'd been clumsy and it could have cost Gnubert dearly.
Relief: Gnubert was not eaten, albeit he did seem badly shaken by the experience.
Curiosity: what was that about a secret door? It seemed the best choice going forward. Plus, it would likely stop any questions about her lack of action, not that anyone appeared to have noticed.

"We should probably try that secret door - once Gnubert has recovered. Oh Gnubert, I'm so sorry I couldn't help you then. I kind of ....slipped. You take whatever time you need. We'll wait until you're ready. Oooh, that does look tender." She concluded having peered at his head.

Gnubert grasps his holy symbol and casts Cure Serious Wounds healing himself for 24 damage. "Thank the Gods! I am ready to move on now."

"More than often, the cure is more painful than the wound." He's impressed how well Gnubert suppressed the agony of cure spells. In fact he's quite impressed by everyone's pluck when it came to cure magics. Not one single twitch or whimper amongst them.

Mortimer then eyes the dead cloaker. He noticed it had some sway over the shadows, like him. Were they cut from the same cloth, he thought. Speaking of cutting cloth, he asks, "Can ya make a cloak from a cloaker? There's enough hide here for a number of cloaks."

When Loryn puts the candles in the candle sticks, he moves back and positions himself for a better look (Perception: 18).

"Eww, Morty. Really? That sounds sort of icky." Torryn wasn't at all convinced about wearing a cloak made from something that wanted to eat her. Sure, in this instance it had been poor Gnubert being eaten, but the principle was the same. She then turned and smiled sweetly at Gnubert in thanks for his understanding.

Loryn apologies and heads back to the room with the candles finding that nothing in that room has changed. Torryn feels a bunch of conflicting emotions and sees Gunberts wounds..

Gnubert does his best to assuage Torryn’s thoughts and heals himself of the incidental damage he took from being trapped like a kid in a blanket.

Mortimer would, at this point, know quite a bit about the cloaker, chief among them that if it had live a second longer it could have attempted to cause fear or nausea in the part. Also, if it wasn’t hiding in an illusion it could have moaned to weakening the party. Looking closer at the skin he sees that its properties of bending shadow seem to be gone, perhaps it was a talent bread of its intelligence. Torryn seems pretty happy that the cloak will not be made.

When the candle is placed in the candle holder nothing happens.

Drack sees Gnubert emerge alive from the cloaker, and just nods before turning his attention elsewhere. sooner or later, they would all take some good hits. The key was to still be breathing after it was over.

Drack leaves Manolo to investigate the secret door, and instead focuses on what Loryn is doing. He seemed to have a knack for finding things that shouldn't be messed with and then messing with them. Kind of like finding a big red button just begging to be pushed.

Manolo was opening a secret door and that stops Loryn in his tracks, mid grin to Mortimer. His shoulders slump a bit, one surprise at a time. Loryn turns to see what lies beyond the secret door before proceeding to mess with the candles

"Yes, I really think that we should. Why else would all this stuff be here, set up like this." agreed Torryn, who was now almost universally "Torry" and she had no problem with that at all.

She doubted lighting the candles would achieve anything as she'd used her Feysight to search for magic and found none. Or maybe she just thought she had! it wouldn't be the first time that she'd forgotten stuff. She sighed inwardly. You never saw anyone else forgetting stuff all the time.

Double checking, Torryn opened her Feysight (Detect Magic) and simultaneously tapped into her Sacred Dancer powers (a moment later actually) to search for Evil-ickiness.

Most of the group moves back to the candles though Manolo checks the secret door thoroughly. He finds no traps and quickly works out how to open the door. Beyond the door is a hallway that quickly turns 90 degrees to the south, someone will have to go in.

Mortimer pulls out a twinder twig, looking at Loryn almost daring him to light the candles. Torryn doubts lighting the candles will do much but double checks for magic an eveil again. The candles still resonate feint devin magic and there is a complete lack of evil in the area.

There is some discussion of what the cloaker was doing down here and how it was surviving without foot traffic. Given the creature was intelligent it is possible that it had a way in and out or something This room may simply have been where it chose to make a lair OR maybe it was being kept by someone or something, it is impossible to tell.

There is a hallway past the secret door, other hallways and some candles.

As the team gets ready to light the candles they look around and do not see any danger. The body of the cloaker lays in the middle of the room getting cold. Loryn steps up and lights the candles. As the first candle catches the light glows softly but far brighter then you would expect. The warm light washes over you and the brief sound of tiny bells can be heard. The room has a warm glow and your feel your wounds start to close..

{CLW on everyone: +8HP}

The candle burns faster then you would expect, about one third of it vanishing as you are healed before the candle self extinguishes with a small sizzle. The gloom of the dungeon seems darker and colder when the candles welcome light fades.

Drack turns his attention to the secret door, and once it is opened, he takes a look into the area. Seeing a hallway, he steps in and looks around the corner.

Loryn takes a deep breath with a slow satisfying exhale as he nods at Drack's words. The gnomes eyes carry a bit of disappointment that nothing more spectacular and adventurous occurred, but it is a very fleeting thought. Loryn tucks the remaining candles into his Bag of Holding

Manolo was making his way through the passage of the secret door and might be needing back up. "Drack, Torrynashkabbeth, get in there with him, we are right behind you."

Mortimer watches as Loryn grabs the candles but not the candlesticks or the shiny amulet. The candlesticks are magical, had a divination aura. The amulet looked like a treasure that was possibly worth a great deal of coin. He wasn't going to leave those behind. Mortimer takes the candlesticks and the amulet and puts them in his haversack for good keeping. (Perception: 24, natural 20.)

Mortimer then readies himself to enter into the secret hallway.

Drack and Torryn lead the way thought the secret door. Lorryn tucks away the candles while Mortimer grabs the candle sticks and amulet from the top of the altar.

The secret room is kind of pear or clover shaped and contains piles of debris scattered about the room. In bulk you can see there is some value here though it would need to be collected and sold. Scanning the room you see twelve inch pewter beer steins (20 total - 85gp total) along with a golden flute of delicate craftsman ship made for a small creature (200gp) one dozen silver arrowheads (24gp) There is a small jeweled coffer of chased silver depicting a forest scene with birds around the sides and an image of a maiden brushing her hair, it is velvet lined and smells like rose potpourri. (15gp) You also find golden vestments, medium size and ankle-length with frayed edges. (150gp and shown on map page) Finally there is an electrum medallion inlaid with copper in the design of a phoenix rising from the flames. (40gp)

Not a bad haul in terms of value but otherwise the room is unremarkable.

Casting her eyes over the assorted goods, Torryn immediately thought of Gnubert and Loryn when she espied the flute. However, it didn't hold her attention for long. Whilst the arrow heads were of some interest, it was limited as her bow ignited all her ammunition. So her attention quickly fell upon the box.

"I do like the box." she told Drack as she stepped forward to get a closer look. As she advanced she again opened her Feysight seeking to determine if there was any magic amongst the various items to be seen. Regardless of whether the little box was magical, she was curious to open it.

Drack activates his detect evil in the room to make sure there isn't more here than meets the eye.

"As far as i'm concerned Torry, its all yours." following that, if there is no evil, he will give his usual gruff assessment as he heads out of the room.

"check it out, grab whats worth grabbing and call me if there is anything unexpected. I am going to monitor the hallway and the stairs going down. Let's keep this quick. any wasted time could be a life lost. I'm starting to think we should split into two teams if we are on the same floor for the purpose of speed. Loryn, thoughts?

(Knowledge [Religion]: 14, to recognize these as possible objects belonging to the old or current gods.)

After seeing the contents of the secret room and the age of the tattered priestly robes, Mortimer can only assume one thing. "Maybe these are artifacts for the altar. Possibly the mortal belongin's of old gods or Powers. This bein' a chapel after all; with priestly robes, yeah!" He turns to Gnubert and asks, "Just look at these bits and bobs. Could these 'ave belonged to the gods?"

Then another idea strikes him (Knowledge [Arcana]: 26, natural 20). "Those candlesticks 'ad an aura of divination magic. Maybe when paired with the right trinket, with candles lit, you can commune with the owner in some way. Why else was there an amulet on the altar?"

Mortimer pulls the amulet from his haversack, that he took from the altar, and examines it. He looks for any trace of Alemi. Maybe the healing they received came from the amulet and not the candles.

Torryn eyes some of the items while Drack moves to stand guard after making sure there is no evil..

Mortimer spends some time looking at the candle sticks and coming up with various ideas. The amulet is not magical nor are the vestments, they sure seem to be just old things that are worth some gold. The candle sticks and candles appear to be the only thing of magic and with how fait they are it is unlikely they have other abilities though, in the Wold, you never know.

A quick check of the hallway that leads to the south simply reveals an eight sided room with mirror on the west wall. The mirror are not magical and what few items are in the room have been destroyed with age. {Dungeon crawls can be a slog in PbP so just giving you this room as there is no event to speak of.}

Moving down the stairs the various light sources reveal a well carved stature of a horse and rider. The hours is draped in beautiful sparkling barding that any of you would recognize as mithril chain barding. The nights armor is clearly for show but the lance is of high quality, made of dark wood and has a mithril head, truly a beautiful weapon and the mithril would keep the head light for easier wielding.

There are two matching hallways form this room with stairs leading up. Nothing detects as magical or as evil in the vicinity, they are just beautiful.

{Barding value 1200gp and it weighs 20 pounds. The lance is worth 600gp - 100gp for the darkwood shaft and 500gp for the mithril head.)

Torryn pocketed the small, aromatic box and then set off to catch up with Drack. He wasn't hard to find.

Upon reaching the statue, she studied it quietly for a moment.

"It's very pretty, but it wouldn't suit Spot. She's not a fighting sort of horse. I think all that would just frighten her." That it was far too bulky and heavy for anyone to carry never crossed her mind. She didn't want it, so that was an end to the matter. Perhaps keener minds than hers would see it differently. certainly she'd been mostly impressed with Morty's sagacity. All that stuff about the candles was really clever! maybe her little box had a secret too, but she doubted it was healing.

"Let's go left." She suggested happily. Either way seemed equally valid, so she wasn't going to waste time in a protracted decision. She did however, decide to be 'clever' as well; so looked carefully for any traps on the floor. Wouldn't that impress everyone, if she found one!

With everything they've discovered and found in this incredibly weird and not so frozen chapel, the pressure he feels must really be warping his senses. "I guess a candlestick is just a bloomin' candlestick!" They radiate divination magic, but exhibit no divination qualities. Divinations reveal all kinds of information and lore, among other things, but they do NOT heal. And there is seemingly no reason for all these other trinkets, though they're stored away in a secret closet in an altar room.

He finds all this very confusing, a collection of seemingly random mundane items of no importance. So he does what he does best ... steal everything that isn't nailed down. Once everything is properly nicked and stored away, he continues on with everyone else to the left passage.

While the others discuss the barding Mortimer realizes that the wrong word was used, instead of divination it should be divine or holy when looking at the candlesticks.

Going up the stairs the group rounds a corner and find themselves on a balcony overlooking a pool of water. While the balcony looks like the rest of the tomb the lower level stone has a light layer of green, probably algae despite the water looking very clear in the pool itself. The water is still and in the center floating on the pool of ocean water is a coffin – silver and white wood – carved with symbols of Pantheon. The coffin is wrapped in heavy chains – like the kind ships use for their anchors. There is a small lip, only 18 inches tall around the balcony to warn people of falling off.

"Aren't chains supposed to sink?" Torryn enquired, bemused by the sight before her. A floating coffin that by all rights really shouldn't be floating. Wasn't that bad? It might equally be good. She had no idea; so tapped into her Dancer powers and opened her Feysight.

Mortimer's wide eyes survey the tomb. He's really beginning to pick up on a theme to this place.

"Now that's one proper bone box, yeah! The chain is a bit much though."

The symbols of Pantheon were easy enough to recognize (Knowledge [Religion]: 17.) It looked like Gnubert had a better idea about this one, judging by his knowing stare (Perception: 20).

He looks over to the lower walkway that appears covered in algae. " Looks like a slippery go, over there," he says as he motions in that direction.

Mortimer decides to employ a divination as well. He casts Detect Magic and concentrates of the coffin and the water around it (Knowledge [Arcana]: 24 if any auras are present).

He Detects evil upon everything in his view, using his Paladin detect evil ability.

“Aside from this looking like a horrible trap, I am not sure what concerns me more. What the chains of a ships anchor might be keeping from getting inside that coffin, or what they might be preventing from getting out. Loryn, Gnubert? Anything? Mortimer? You are the resident coffin specialist, any ideas on age or time frame of the coffin?”

Wednesday December 20th, 2023 12:23:48 PM

Looking at the room you see the platform is only up about four feet which should have been mentioned before. The algae is also dry on the lower level so not slippery most likely in a dry state.

Torryn wonder who the casket floats but also know that ships displace water and float with chains an a coffin could probably do the same thing. Loryn is pretty sure that leaving it locked away is the best idea although you did come here for a reason.

Attempts to detect evil come up clean as do attempts to detect magic which doesn’t exclude either quality form being in the box but means what is visible doesn’t register.

Mortimer admires the box and gets a small ribbing from Ash before giving his thoughts on the situation.

Gnubert ponders the situation and knows they were sent to retrieve an object by the old woman. Beyond any religious significance this is a place that would make sense for the item to be, unless there are secret rooms that were missed or some such. The chains are certainly a mystery but it is highly likely they were added after the coffin was placed by someone else.

"I will go fetch it if you want. I know that I'm not the strongest swimmer, but the water is dead calm and I don't need any armour. You guys can watch out for me." Torryn suggested. It made sense to her. Besides, someone had to check this out. It wasn't as if they should simply turn around and ignore it.

Torryn realizes that she does not know how deep the water is and cant really tell, it is certainly more then two feet but with the reflection form the light sources it is hard to tell and could be substantially deeper.

They discuss who should go down and who should stay up, with some decision Gnubert casts some buffing spells.

Manolo jumps into the water from the ledge, landing feet first because only a moron would dive into water without knowing how deep it is. The water sloshes as he lands and there is silence but he does find that the water is about five feet deep. Just deep enough to be annoying to move in.

With protective spells in place and excess clothing divested, Torryn too jumped into the pool. She now knew how deep it was and it was far better to get into cold water fast than inch by inch. She then made her way over to the coffin and looked at the chains to see if they could simply be dragged away.

"Do you want to do your thing first, Manny? I'm not getting any ickiness from the coffin, but then there might be something inside it that the coffin is concealing. I'll be ready if anything pops out." She assured him.

"You'll be just fine Manolo. We have your back"

Loryn tries his best to keep his mind on the task at hand, being ready to ward off something horrible happening to Manolo. He glances at Ash and purses his lips noting the wand

For better or worse, we have your back young man

He wasn't religious, but he said a quiet prayer to anyone. He kept his eyes locked on Manalo and the coffin.

Mortimer wishes he could have frozen the water. He feels like he should be able to do that, but he can't. I would have made this extraction easier ... somewhat more slippery, yes ... but still easier.

Whatever happens, he is ready to throw himself at it.

Just as Manolo hits the water a couple of things happen.

First the water starts to move and slosh far more then from a splash. It starts to swell in two spots and then something even odder happens... you see a small amount of now fall. In what could be a blink of eternity the scene around you shifts and you are at a campsite with a light snow falling. The camp is preset and ready for camping but there is also an inn not far away. The sign on the inn reads the "The Giggling Ghost", the famed in for adventures were those of the Wold can sometimes relax.

The snow is falling but it is just below freezing so not terrible and you can see there are blankets and tents in camp and of course there is the inn. You can see a figure silhouetted in the door of the in who waves a greeting.

"Come in and be warm, share your stories with the others! Happy Solstice you fine group of heroes relax your problems will return but now, here, you have time out of time."

{ooc: Welcome to the slowdown. This is the last official GM post of the year though you are free to post on the page of course or you can take a vacation from posting until January 8th. I will post in the 7th returning you to where you were at the start of this post. I encourage you to post in the Giggling Ghost as it is a good way to meet others in the Wold.}

{ooc2: I don't rememebr if this counts as a rest for your characters.}

Gnubert stands fast waiting the encounter that must certainly be coming. After all, no one leaves a coffin like this unattended

Torryn certainly wasn't going to leave Manny on his own!

Loryn watches as Manolo hits the water, followed closely by Torrynashkabbeth. The two sudden mounds of water cause his eyes to go wide. He had seen Mole summon elementals of water and what they were capable of. The pair could be in a good deal of trouble.

But then...his mind takes in the scene of snow and a smile spreads across his face and the concern of that other worldly trouble drifts into the fog of his mind like a dream.

Stories, Loryn loved stories

"What manner of magic is this," he inquires?

Mortimer then feels the pleasant coldness embrace him, a most gratifying chill to the cockles of his quiet-beating heart. The gentle snow causes a smile to grow across his face; an unnerving smile, but a smile nonetheless. Even his skin turns to a more muted shade of pale. Then the notices the sign, The Giggling Ghost. He offers up some advice, "Don't so much as nod at the ghosts around you. Or they'll never leave ya alone."

"The Giggling Ghost", Manolo says loudly.
'It's been a long time now', he reminisced.
