GNHS inspects the back wall for any means of passage.

[Kestrel_6]

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.

[Hanslanda]

Rope
10 ft pole
Torches
Rope
Small cage with a bunch of rats in it
Rope
Flint, steel and tinder
Firewood
Lantern and oil
Oil
Spears
Daggers/knives
Seriously though, get some rope. You'd be surprised how often it comes in handy.

[Kestrel_6]

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

[Zako]

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

Updated! Hopefully this will do. Does it?

Ok, map is updated. Distances are approximate

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.

[USEC_OFFICER]

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.

Spoiler: The Spheres That You Can See (Expanded Edition). (click to show/hide)

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.

A white sphere above a red slaad's head. I have nothing witty here.

A turquoise sphere perched on a satyr's shoulder like one of those stereotypical devils.

A scarlet sphere held by a mind flayer where its naughty bits would be, assuming that it had any.

And finally a pale green sphere held at a Medusa's feet. Obviously this is one of those Medusas who actually have feet.

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.

Not shown on the picture is a pale violet sphere on a kuo-toa's shoulder's, like he's lifting a heavy load.

A red sphere held by skeleton to hide its lack of naughty bits.

A buff sphere laying by a wizard's feet. The GM was surprised to learn that buff is a legitimate colour (it's yellow-brown if you're wondering).

And finally an indigo sphere held by a batwoman above her head like she's a cheap-knock off superhero.

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?

Spoiler: 'Safe' Illusionary Spheres (click to show/hide)

gold
orange
bronze
bright blue
silver
black
red

Spoiler: Unsafe Illusionary Spheres (click to show/hide)

None. All illusionary spheres are guaranteed to be 100% totally safe. Really!

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...

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.

Ok, map is updated. Distances are approximate :P

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

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Does this make more sense?

[Vorthon]

Hmm... I cast Wild Magic on the Scarlet Sphere.

[Hanslanda]

I step through the bronze sphere and open the door with my weapon readied.

[Zako]

Hmm... I cast Wild Magic on the Scarlet Sphere.

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.

[Vorthon]

Hmm... I cast Wild Magic on the Scarlet Sphere.

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.

What? I'm just staying in character.

[Doomblade187]

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!
