[Game Thread] A Trip to Remember

[Corwin]

Oguun Oguun blinked as not-Mayuri disappeared and light returned, revealing the room, its furnishings, and the symbol. Unfamiliar though it was, the sigil somehow did not convey a sense of benevolence. The rapid backpedaling of all the others suggested that they agreed. He gave it Arcana - 12a closer examination before turning his attention to other matters. "Have any of you skill with devices? There is a locked compartment concealed beneath this table." The githzerai mulled over the implications. "For such a detail to exist here, we must be in a place very familiar to Almavalesh. I conjecture this cellar is part of his dwelling or his place of work. Let us find anything we can of significance and then depart to continue our investigation. May I aid you with the door, Geghard?"

Aurora "Good thinking, Oguun... Alma had to know about THIS." Aurora accented, pointing at the pentagram. "I may not have the purest heart, but willingly contacting with demons? fiends? fey? whatever that it... is a bit too much. This guy will have a lot of explaining to do..." "Compartment?" The bride took a peek under the table. "Huh? Godb... Grimly, have some tools? If someone keeps something locked and hidden, it has to be fun." Aurora cut a long piece of cloth from the sack of flour and sheathed her blades. She rolled it up, before Druidcraftlighting it on fire and "Help" actionholding it close to the compartment. "I have read that warming up a mechanism can make it easier to open, by loosening the springs and stuff."

Taking a break after the second of three, Geghard peeked over the edge of the window, then looked around at his comrades. With some concern he noted that Aurora had lit yet another fire. "It's locked on the other side," he reported, "and we're not all fitting through this window. When you're done with that lock, maybe you can climb over and give this one a crack." Geghard wiped his brow, then went back to work on the bars.

Breaking Locks The appearance of the pentagram had created a small stir within the adventuring party, but there had been so many confusing and incomprehensible things happening already that initially none of the adventurers showed themselves thrown off by these new circumstances. The sense that this was reality had faded long ago and now this was just another omen of the past, or at least it hadn't visibly affected anybody yet, except maybe for spooking Grimly Packer. Baka also lumbered out of the circle with worry etched on his tortle face, but for now, nobody dared to raise the question of what Mayuri had aimed to achieve with them. It wasn't clear if they had ended up in this room by the other consciousness's will or because of some odd behavior of the dreamscape, but for now, they were still in a dead-end and so at least a few of the adventurers started to address the locks that they had found available for them to attempt to break through them. Such things were much easier to wrap one's mind around. While Oguun was considering offering his help to Geghard for breaking through the only door out of the oubliette, he at least was concerned with the sigil that had been worked into the center of the floor. The githzerai had studied various fields during his youth in the limbo, also those that were addressing the arts of arcana, but looking at this intrinsic pentagram he was quickly stumped. While it was clearly a circle of some shape which were historically meant to either transport or communicate with other planes or locations, this particular pentagram had quite the foreign touch to it. During his examination of the desk and after the vision had returned to reveal the three lanterns that were lighting this cellar room, Oguun had quickly reconfirmed that this was a workshop of some kind of manner, though much more orderly than the wizard's corner that he had seen in the House Avalladasz. And from what context clues the gith was able to gather, whatever kind of research had happened inside this small dungeon it had a sort of exoticness about it that left Oguun hanging in regards to the true origin or purpose of the pentagram. As Geghard kept tirelessly working on breaking the bars of their only exit, Aurora had found an interest in the hidden compartment which Oguun had found when his sight had been less important than his touch. The young noble fashioned herself another open flame that competed against the billowing lantern right above the workbench, and while she couldn't help but singe the wood as she held her makeshift fire to where she expected the hidden mechanism to be, Geghard's greatest fear that she could be setting more than a piece of hempen cloth on fire was fortunately not realized because the piece of furnishing was massive enough not to catch fire easily. Grimly who had seemed to recover slightly from the shock of standing inside a magical circle was now directing his bewilderment at Aurora as she beckoned him to do the work of a rogue, but possibly because of his badly veiled feelings for the human woman he quickly was roped into applying his trade. "Ah, yes... I actually kind of have such tools. Ehm... do I see smoke there? Haha..." Nervously the half-elf replaced Aurora underneath the desk as he needed his eyes to work on the lock and its fine mechanism, but just in the time that it took Geghard to dislodge the final bar from its wooden frame, Grimly came back up again and looked even more nervous than before. "Actually, since Mayuri has used her seed magic on us, I haven't felt like myself. I think the evil symbol on the floor might have put a hex on me or something, or maybe this desk is also magically locked..." With his tools still in hand the half-elf looked apologetically at Aurora but his pupils were slightly dilated. "Anyways, I think you need to warm up the hidden gears a little more, I think... Maybe then it will work. Probably actually, I promise! Until t-then, let me get that other door, okay?" And then he impishly made his way towards the steps that were leading up to a sweaty Geghard looking down on a room where most of the more intellectual adventurers seemed to idle around the room in a restful manner. The bars where undone but only everybody besides Oguun and Baka would be able to get through that window, and even the human spear wielder would have to make it fit.

 

GM instructions All right, I've resolved what was needed but there wasn't much impact. Earlamar failed his lockpicking despite the help but he can be bullied into trying again after a while. The wizards plus Baka have been idle enough for a short rest so they may benefit of a short rest if they choose to do so. I'll let Baka keep his, because he's not gaining anything from it right now. Aurora singing the desk was a failed slight of hand check that I rolled mostly for flavour, but if the flame is kept continously applied to the wood it might still catch fire. It's difficult to expand the metal parts underneath the wood without singing it further, but a successful slight of hand check can do so. If the lock is not going to be expanded further by applying more heat, then I'll raise the DC on the lock for Earlamar's next attempt because he already failed once. To be clear though, the DC will only determine how long it takes Earlamar to unlock it. At that point the roll will determine the duration depending how badly beneath the DC he rolls. As stated everybody aside from Oguun (and NPC Baka) can leave the room now and split the party, but Geghard will have to beat a DC 11 Acrobatic check to do it in his armour. If he fails the check, he'll get stuck embarrassingly, but can be dislodged with a bit of friendly help without a DC. Doffing the armour will take 5 minutes for heavy armour as per standard rules, redonning it on the other side will take 10 minutes. Earlamar is willing to attempt a lockpicking check now if you'll give him room to work. I can make that roll if you'll let me know in the OOC, but it would take his post for this round.

Oguun Geghard seemed to making good progress with the window and there was scarcely room for two atop the stairs. Oguun kicked the stone he'd pulled free earlier. "The mortar is somewhat friable. Consider perhaps removing the wall from the lock rather than the lock from the door." He turned to watch Grimly work with great fascination. The world of fine motor skills had always been a closed book to Oguun, but he still held a faint hope that with study and patience, the knack might somehow be acquired. He was entirely unsurprised when the device defeated the half-elf's efforts as that was the purpose it was made to accomplish. Something else, however, was not at all what he'd expected. Oguun skirted the symbol and sat heavily on the lower stairs before Grimly reached them. "Grimly Packer, have you arcane expertise that you have not revealed? I was unaware the false mate used magic on us. What sort of magic did you say it was? What do you know about the symbol?" Oguun Insight 21stared at the half-elf intently. "And we have already met one entity that was not itself. How many tongues are in your head?"

Aurora "Warm up a little more?" Aurora questioned Grimly. "Fine. BUT, if doing so will spring up a trap, I will wake up and Intimidation 6skin you with a teaspoon, while keeping you alive with my magic. Deal?" The bride chuckled and kept holding the fire near the lock. After a moment the fire was nearing her fingers, so she took out one blade and held the burning cloth with it. "If we need more flames, flour can be quite flammable."

Derek Draven A lot happened in a short amount of time. somehow the darkness we were enveloped in was dispelled, along with the image of our captor. Looking around, I saw that Geghard had pried a bar out of a door. Was that what broke the spell? Had it really been that simple? Yet again I felt rather useless that brawn had solved a magical problem rather than my arcane brain. Honestly, what good was I? Then I noticed the magic circle on the floor. Janfadar had used something similar to summon and speak with demons. I had studied them myself, though id never made one. I considered them too dangerous for one with my lack of experience. While the others went about working on escaping or opening a desk, I focused on studying the circle to try and gleam some clue about the situation OOC Dice knowledge arcana: d20+5 (1)+5 Total = 6

So he stood up from his sitting position and began to look around and noticed the large sigil that was beneath them. They were in somewhere now, no longer in the complete darkness. "Sorry, my study has placed me at a disadvantage, could someone fill me in with what is going on here? Oh, what is this?" He said, looking down, now more interested in what it was. He wondered if his training in the arcane arts could help him identify what this could be and if the group should be worried about it or not.

Foreign Magic Grimly had given up on the finer mechanism for the moment, hoping that Aurora's treatment of the desk might just ease the task of breaking the lock in the end. The white-gowned lady dismissed him for the moment with the promise of mutilation in the future should his recommendation bring harm to her, and although the threat had appeared partially in jest, Grimly Packer had no hesitation to quickly follow Geghard's call for assistance and to extricate himself from being anywhere near the druid that had intimidated him greatly when they clashed the first time. However, he didn't make it very far as Oguun had swiftly sat himself into Grimly's path up the stairs, blocking the way with the purpose of interrogating the half-elf about the strangely foreboding comments that he had made. And while the rogue was still clearly distraught from the previous interaction or possibly any interaction with Aurora so far, the githzerai's questions had him jabbering on even more nervously. "Me? Arcane expertise? None really, but I've already figured out that Mayuri has been using her herbal witchcraft on Almavalesh all this time!" He pulled out the bag of seeds that he had shown Oguun earlier in the dream and his expression was a bit manic when he explained further. "She's twisted the mage's memory and is clearly not acting like herself! And now she's blinded us? Why? It's because she didn't want us to see that we were standing on top of a magic trap, and did you see what happened with the mechanism inside the desk? Normally I would have broken that easily, but I'm clearly hexed, you see?" As the follower of Zerthimon scrutinized the roguish half-elf, it was immediately clear that Grimly was in over his head. His conjecture was something that he actually believed in, though blaming Mayuri for his failure with the lockpicking seemed much more like a very bad excuse. "I'm m-myself though. Yep! Grimly Packer, that's who I am, haha." With a nervous chuckle he stuck out his tongue, showing Oguun that it was only one. The half-elf's performance was looking less and less convincing to the gith and his clerical insight. If Oguun were to trust his intuition then the man in front of him was not even sure about his own identity, much less about anything happening inside this dream. Witnessing that Grimly had gotten held up, Geghard made do and instead recalled himself of his crowbar and Oguun's advice to break the wall next to the door frame. And while a quick inspection revealed that this might have indeed been possible, it also looked like a lot more work to take out all the bricks next to the sturdy doorframe rather than to simply break through the door. Unfortunately, the hinges were on the other side, most likely to let this cellar function like a dungeon, a secondary purpose that was suggested by the barred window, but Geghard didn't see himself discouraged to simply use brute force where finesse wasn't helpful. With the help of a hammer from his backpack he loudly started to wedge the crowbar into the wood to create a gap between door and frame, and as his work was accompanied by splintering sounds he worked up even more of a sweat. Aurora in the meantime had switched to holding her open flame with her sabers as the flame had threatened to reach her fingers, and surprisingly her control with the blades seemed to make the process of not singing the already sooted wood easier. Undeterred by any hecticness that was brought into the chamber by the more noisy adventurers, Rolen, Baka and Derek had spent their time gathering their thoughts and gathering their magic. It had come as a shock to the young necromancer that whatever enchantment had been placed on the room had been broken by something as mundane as breaking the door, he was even further dismayed when he realized that he was very much clueless about the intricate workmanship that had been used to draw the pentagram in the middle of the room. Janfadar's work had shown some similarities to this circle, but it was immediately clear to the observant wizard that this was something different enough to elude his own understanding as a mere apprentice. Baka must have come to a similar conclusion as he slowly lumbered over to the workbench to study what looked on a glance like medicinal equipment, and now that Derek was paying attention he noticed that the tools in that area seemed similar peculiar to the exotic pentagram. This left Rolen as the last remaining adventurer that was still paying attention to the menacing art beneath his feet. And while he realized just as quickly as Derek that the intricacies of this circle surpassed the beginner level arcana that he had been taught so far, the elven wizard was struck by a sudden flash of inspiration as he recognized something interesting about a few of the symbols which meaning eluded him entirely. They were something he had seen fairly recently and although he hadn't grasped their meaning then either, it took Rolen only a second to open his second pair of eyes through his connection with his familiar spider Ara. There it was, right in the middle between a sleeping crowd of adventurers and a blue chair were the remains of Almavalesh's ritual that had taken them into this shared dream. Looking through Ara's many eyes it was an exciting revelation to Rolen as he found the same traces of foreign oneiromancy in the pentagram that dominated their quest-giver's technique, but the rush of the discovery was slightly diminished when the further comparison revealed to Rolen that aside from a few similar symbols the pentagram and Almavalesh's ritual had little more similarities. In fact, the circle that he was still standing on was clearly a much more corrupted piece of arcana, and though it was knowledge that Rolen had only been taught partially because of the sinister connotation, whatever this circle's exact use was it seemed to be under a fiendish influence. Most likely a passage into dangerous arts of arcana, and technically more in the realm of something one would see used by a warlock. In fact, the entire work in this room had nothing of the intellectual approach that Rolen had seen in Almavalesh's magic, so even if there was this hint of familiarity it was rather unlikely this had anything to do with the debonaire's own studies.

 

GM instructions Oguun has figured out a few new things about Earlamar, whose turn we have kinda wasted this cycle. Aurora was however successful with her sleight of hand and priming the compartment's mechanism, so Earlamar will be able to take another go at the desk with advantage if he's prompted to do so. Aurora is also free to do something else with her next post, and any further handling of open flames would be optional pyromania at this point. Geghard is able to break through the door without any unforeseen complications, however we can assume that it takes him a bit of time to break the sturdy installation apart. You may include the narration of breaking through the door with Geghard's next post, and then as mentioned before there are only steps that lead up behind the door. I'm not sure if there's already a consensus on pushing forward, but that's something you'd be able to do. Might be that you'll leave Grimly behind for a few minutes then. The wizarding squad has also figured out a few more tidbits of information about the pentagram, so the group may make of that what they will. Just to make things easier, you may assume that character knowledge is only shared if the act of sharing is mentioned inside the narration. You may summarize relaying knowledge through narration, write out dialogue to be more precise in what you share, or keep information to yourself entirely. Actively lying to the group should probably come with a contested deception check, however I'm not sure if that's something that would even come up. As always, hit me up for clarifications in the OOC.

Aurora "Now that I think about it, I could just burn this desk down to the ground and use one of my mendingtricks to fix whatever was inside... Just kidding." Aurora chuckled to herself and looked to Earlamar. "Godb... Grimly, get your elf ass over here, I got it all warm and ready for your dextrous fingers. Cursed or not, you are opening this lock... Pffff!" The bride said in a demanding and impatient tone but she Intimidation: Nat 1 +2couldn't keep her composure and let out air through her nose, dropping her blades and grabbing her stomach, choking from laughter. After getting it back together, she noticed the burning rug to the floor and extinguished the flames with her boot. Aurora picked up her weapons. "No, really, try again, or we can try to crowbar it open..." She took a few steps away from the desk, to avoid making Godbert? Earlamar? Grimly? uncomfortable.

Oguun "Thank you, Grimly Packer." Oguun got to his feet. The archer seemed sure of his discomforting speculations, though his conclusions seemed flawed to the cleric if only because Oguun was already certain that the entity they had spoken with was not Mayuri. At any rate, he showed no signs of the shadows. "If there is a chance the false mate has done some kind of arcane working on us, we must simply take extra care." Somewhat satisfied, Oguun skirted the outer edge of the sigil and Perception 11began rummaging through whatever else was left in the cellar.

The fighter flinched at the billowing dust and vainly tried to wave it away. As it gradually settled, he squinted through at the stairs beyond. "Derek," he said, "I'm wondering if you might send that little friend of yours to scout ahead while we finish up here."

Derek Draven Unsurprisingly, though still frustratingly, the arcane circle was beyond me. this entire ordeal had been an exercise emphasizing my incompetence. I was desperate to make myself useful, to prove myself in some small way, so when Geghard asked me to send Nephala to scout, I was happy to agree. “Of course. Nephala, take a look around.” That taken care of, I focused my attention to the circle. “I need a few minutes to perform a ritual that might shed a clue on the purpose of this circle, if you’ll indulge me.” I began the tedious process of casting detect magic on the circle to at least determine the school of magic that it used.
