Time for a crossover, with an expendable clone of my favourite Ralkarian Assassin!

Name: Karas Sirenna
Gender: Male
Class: Assassin (Rogue)

Items: Convenient Gems, Rope.
Weapons and armor: Rapier of unknown make, Dagger, 1-hand Crossbow (30 Bolts) Black Cloak and hood, Leather and light metal armour

Hopefully this is legit. Is it?

I would take more items, but otherwise it should be fine.

Anyways the next update is going to be delayed as I rethink Kadzar's failed willpower save.

Like what? I can't think of anything else.

I did get Rope. And can't I only carry 4 items, as I am a rogue?

((Perhaps some lock picks or trap disarming tools? A light source would be REALLY handy too.))

Ok, map is updated. Distances are approximate :P

I'm gonna walk down the corridor, checking carefully for anything magical in nature that may be a threat, as well as any potential traps. I wanna try to illuminate the corridor a little further on.

Delving the Tomb of Horrors: More archways than you can shake a +1 club at!
« Reply #293 on: August 28, 2012, 06:05:28 pm »

I'll continue checking the other spheres, unless I can't reach them or something, in which case I'll climb into the orange sphere.

You proceed to check the other spheres, including the new ones that you can see that I forgot to tell you about.


To keep things simple, here's two lists. The first one shows you which spheres were illusionary but had no harm to the torch. The second one shows which ones were illusionary and harmed the torch. Sound good?



Err, change mind halfway there as Kadzar says that, and instead be content to observe Kadzar's experiment.

You observe Kadzar's experiment. Gah, this is boring. Let's stick things where they don't belong, shall we?

Avoid the bright blue sphere, instead go place a hand through the bronze sphere.

You shove your hand through the bronze sphere. Luckily the DM has already made his inappropriate comment of the day, so you're safe. Anyways behind the bronze sphere is what appears to be a door, unless Acererak is just shoving random handles onto walls for fun. I wouldn't put it past him.

Search along the length of the hallway carefully, tapping everywhere with the pole as I go along. Make sure to ask the mages where the magic parts are first and avoid those places.

[18 + 5] You search the entire hallway very carefully, but find nothing. At the southern end of the corridor you find...

Quote
A mist-filled stone archway lies at the end of the wide hall of colored spheres. Three large stones are embedded in the arch. Each has a different hue—olive on the lower left, russet at the top of the arch, and citron on the lower right.

That's right, it's another misty archway! Oh, and for some reason the number of spheres isn't large enough to go to cover the entire hallway, so the last thirty feet is covered with... cloaked cultists apparently worshipping the archway. Yeah, that sounds good. The cultists contain representatives from all the races, including some of those animal-human hybrids from the fresco corridor. All the cultists on the western side are male, while those on the eastern side are their female partners, though it's hard to tell with some of the animal-people.

Anywhozits, I cast Wild Magic upon myself, just because. Either I'll go out with a bang, or do something awesome. Or just stupid. Either way.

[WILD MAGIC: ???] Ah, another result to keep to myself... Err, you feel a slight tingling in your extremities, like somebody was stabbing you with tiny needles. It's not a very pleasant feeling. In fact, it's kinda annoying.

See if I can discern anything about the nature of the sphere's magic.

It's illusionary magic, so obviously the spheres must be some kind of illusion.

GNHS inspects the back wall for any means of passage.

[9 + 5] You find no secret passages.

I'm gonna walk down the corridor, checking carefully for anything magical in nature that may be a threat, as well as any potential traps. I wanna try to illuminate the corridor a little further on.

Well you lack detect magic and McDermeth has already searched the entire corridor for traps and illuminated the rest of the hallway so... You twiddle your thumbs I guess. Ho hum.

Name: Karas Sirenna
Gender: Male
Class: Assassin (Rogue)

Items: Convenient Gems, Rope, Trap disarming Kit, Torches
Weapons and armor: Rapier of unknown make, Dagger, 1-hand Crossbow (30 Bolts) Black Cloak and hood, Leather and light metal armour

The amazing assassin Karas Sirenna, attracted by the giant smoke cloud spewed up by Nambul, investigates the entrance to the tomb of horrors.

Ah, I must not have been specific enough. Let me (try to) fix the map.

If you do not stop that, I will throw you into the first trap I find.

Poke the end of my pole through each of the spheres and see what happens to it. Do so gently and be ready to let go of my pole at a moment's notice.

GNHS checks the bright blue sphere- if it's safe, then he steps through after inspecting it.

I don't care, your actions will be the end of us/create a massive hinderance for us to get past. For all you know, you could create molten lava out of nowhere!
