: GNHS rushes through the golden wall.
"For gold and glory!" I charge after him.
I charge through as the golden wall as well, wand at the ready.[/url]
"Deeper down this hole we go, Where it ends i don't know." I follow the others, weapons ready
Having somehow picked up Redd T. Shir, squad expendable charges down the crawlway. Well, obviously they crawl down the crawlway, but they're charging metaphorically or something. One by one they go through the illusionary wall.
I take cover and wait for blood curdling screams. If I hear none, cautiously peek at the gold wall.
Having heard nothing but thumps and scattered curses, Dr. Malpracteece decides to peek at the gold wall. Seeing nothing terrifying, he pokes his head through the wall.
The floor of this long, wide hall is inlaid with tiles, and the walls and ceiling are painted with figures of animals and strange signs and glyphs. Humans and humanlike creatures hold painted spheres, each a different color from the next.
The hall is, unsurprisingly, twenty feet wide, with the tall ceiling stretching impressively above you. Unfortunately your torchlight isn't strong enough to illuminate the entire length of the hall. The module doesn't exactly specify, but the spheres have to be separated by about ten feet each. Therefore you can see... five spheres on each side. Well, let's make it six, for the sake of the illustration.
The spheres on the western wall are, from north to south:
A gold sphere held a naga above her head (obviously you came out of this one).
An orange sphere held by a mummy to cover its naughty bits.
A purple sphere held on the ground by a minotaur's cloven hoof.
A bronze sphere held by a nymph to cover her 'modesty', though it can't be very modest if she's left her chest bare like that.
A grey sphere placed on an owlbear's shoulders.
A bright blue sphere at a sahuagin's feet. If you have no clue what a sahuagin is, you're not alone. According to Google it's some kind of four-armed sea-lizard.
The spheres on the eastern wall are, from north to south:
A pale blue sphere perched on a werewolf's shoulder.
A silver sphere between the feet of a four-armed gargoyle. Said gargoyle looks nothing like the gargoyle statue you already found, if you were wondering, due to lack of horns and general expression of killiness.
The next four spheres were the ones shown in the graphic.
A green sphere held high above a half-orc's head.
A yellow sphere held by a falcon-man like he's competing in some sort of shot-put competition.
A pink sphere apparently held by a yuan-ti.
And bringing up the rear a black sphere in the feet of a hydra.
Im not convinced the magic, gold wall is the way we should go honestly... so im gonna continue staring down the gargoyle until something comes to me. ((Would do more, but im trapped away from a computer and getting a free meal at a wedding reception for people i've never met, so ill have time to think :p))
[10] After several minutes of staring, a eureka moment comes to you! The depressions in the gargoyle's hand are the perfect size for a large gem! Don't ask me how you figured that out, I'm just following the module here. The village of Badend might have some gems that you could pick up for cheap, but obviously you'd have to find your way there first.
