[USEC_OFFICER]

Check the staircase for traps and giant spiders.

[18 + 5] The staircase doesn't seem to contain any traps or giant spiders.

Malaken shall open the door and proceed cautiously!

You cautiously open the door.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Shelves line the walls, and each shelf is stuffed with jars, vials, and glass bottles filled with colorful liquids. A large desk stands between two workbenches. A lone mummified hand, herbs, bones, and skulls are scattered about on the workbenches. Clay pots, urns, and rolls of linen are strewn around the floor. Along the south wall stand three large vats, each nearly 4 feet deep and at least 7 feet in diameter

The room itself is 60 feet by 40 feet, and smells like something was left to rot for too long. The stench isn't too powerful however, mostly because it is overpowered by the smell of age-old chemicals. Your nostrils feel like they're being cleaned with industrial paint-thinner, while your spit tastes all metallic. It's not a nice room to be in.

I'll make a quick run back to the safe portion of the hallway, catch my breath, then hold my breath again, run down, and cut through as much of the web as I can with my sword.
If anyone has a torch, I steal "roguishly borrow" it and burn the webs away instead.

You take a torch from one of the AFK adventurers and use it to burn away the webbing, thus giving you a good look at what lays beyond.

A lone mace lies at the foot of the stairs, which is the entrance to a decayed crypt furnished with rotting divans, broken chairs, and other refuse. All has gone to rot, save for a golden couch on which resides a humanoid clothed in funerary wrappings with a crown upon its head. A jade coffer lies at the foot of the couch.

_{The room is twenty feet squared, by the way.}

[Vorthon]

Malaken shall rummage through the shelves closest to the door!

[Tsuchigumo550]

Better is an obvious trigger, linked to nothing (but they don't know that)

Obvious trap trigger opens impassible, visible door.

[greymountain_Sage]

Mace you say?
Driven by his desire for loot, Javier sneaks down and stealthily grabs the mace.
This dungeon was built by a lich, right? I keep my eyes and crossbow glued to the corpse on the couch. If it so much as moves an inch, I shoot it.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Recover from the episode, clean self, hold breath, charge into the room beyond the mist.

Suspect everyone of... being suspicious.

Also stay inbetween everyone because the middle is betterest.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Malaken shall rummage through the shelves closest to the door!

Whatever was in the jars, vials and bottles has long since evaporated away, or stopped reacting or something. They're completely useless, is what I'm saying. If you wanted to you could sell them as 'medicine' I guess.

Recover from the episode, clean self, hold breath, charge into the room beyond the mist.

You charge into the hallway beyond the mist at the same time that Javier makes a bid for the mace.

Mace you say?
Driven by his desire for loot, Javier sneaks down and stealthily grabs the mace.
This dungeon was built by a lich, right? I keep my eyes and crossbow glued to the corpse on the couch. If it so much as moves an inch, I shoot it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As you pick up the mace, the figure on the couch rises.



A loud voice booms out of nowhere, “WHO DARES DISTURB ACERERAK’S REST? YOU HAVE FOUND DEATH.”

Bugger.

[17] You quickly snap a shot off with your crossbow. 1 damage

Acererak strides confidently forward, before noticing the mace in your hand. Letting out a loud shriek, he raises his hand and starts intoning magical incantations.

[19] A thin ray of green light leaps from his finger, striking Javier full in the chest. 20 damage

The remains of Javier collapses into a pile of dark elf dust.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Scream OH SHIT before running off, saying "I don't even like maces! You can have your tomb back!"
 
Oh, and if you wind up in the mist, hold breath, keep running.

Stay behind people, and don't draw my weapon yet. "Hey, uhh, misunderstanding. You want the mace. I don't. It's your mace. No problems, right?"

[Vorthon]

Malaken shall search the whole room, oblivious to the fact that all hell has broken loose.

Yes, I do hold my breath while traveling through the corridor.

[Kestrel_6]

Run down the hallway, breath held, and ATTACK THE LICH WITH EVERYTHING!

[killerhellhound]

I the man GHM shall dispell the lich and if that dont work i will drop my staff run in pick up the mace and beat the lich with it. I do the same with my Mace of Confusion
edit crazy mage attackkkkkkkk!!!!!

[USEC_OFFICER]

Stay behind people, and don't draw my weapon yet. "Hey, uhh, misunderstanding. You want the mace. I don't. It's your mace. No problems, right?"

You cower bravely try to negotiate with the lich, but your efforts are in vain.

Weeeeeeeeeell shit.

Let's skip the bits where you wander to/into the dungeon, and get to the good bits, shall we? Only Javier's body got turned into dust, so you attempt to take the Trueseeing Gem with your mage hand.

[1] The gem scatters into some godforsaken corner of the room, probably because you put seven spells in your spellbook instead of five. Shame on you.

Run down the hallway, breath held, and ATTACK THE LICH WITH EVERYTHING!

Karas rushes down the corridor, and attacks the lich with everything he's got.

[15] And by everything he's got I mean his rapier. 1 damage

I the man GHM shall dispell the lich and if that dont work i will drop my staff run in pick up the mace and beat the lich with it. I do the same with my Mace of Confusion
edit crazy mage attackkkkkkkk!!!!!

[7] Dispelling the lich has no effect at all. I doubt that even with a natural 20 and seventeen other wizards backing you up you would be able to dispel such a powerful lich.

You move to pick up the mace, but the GM is not going to let you attack with it this round. You've already cast a spell, and it's only fair that the lich gets to cast one too.

[3] The voice of the lich falters for whatever reason. Probably because the mace is now shining with a bright, golden light.

Malaken shall search the whole room, oblivious to the fact that all hell has broken loose.

[9] Besides some sort of mummy hand from Libris Mortis, you find nothing. Well, you haven't searched the vats yet, mostly because they're full of murky water and Pelior knows what's swimming around in there.

Whoops. Must have missed that rule. Uh... Just forget fireball and Dispel Magic.
In that case, Magic Missile the Lich.

[Zako]

Damn that mist.

Get a hold of myself and investigate the chemical lab. Wrap a wet cloth around my nose and mouth before I go in first though.
