Javern after hearing other suggestions SODS might work but know no one will remember what the letters represent. They will only remember Sods. .

Amos Knutter Amos hadn't thought that someone might have locked the door from the inside and be in there. Then Javern knocked. Amos shrugs. Only one way to find out! he thinks. Mechanics   Move: Action:   Grasping Tendrils. While the tattoo is on your skin, you can, as an action, cause the tattoo to extrude into inky tendrils, which reach for a creature you can see within 15 feet of you. The creature must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or take 3d6 force damage and be grappled by you. As an action, the creature can escape the grapple by succeeding on a DC 14 Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. The grapple also ends if you halt it (no action required), if the creature is ever more than 15 feet away from you, or if you use this tattoo on a different creature. Bonus Action: Reaction: Concentration: Free Action: Conditions: Special: Rages available 4/4 |

Javern knocks.

And suddenly, each member of the party feels something looking at them, something... beckoning.

What would you like to do now?

[Kshnik]

Javern Osmaplite Javern grabs his beard as he turns to the others You all feel that. Feels like something wants us to go in. .

Beldeen "Yeah, I felt the same thing. Weird but maybe Javern's plan worked." She waits.

The idea of something which was both capable of suppressing a powerful ward such as had been placed here, and unafraid to welcome a party of veteran adventurers into its lair, was deathly frightening, although true to form Vymani's fear was less powerful than her curiosity. Still, it paid to be prepared. "Hold up a second," she said, before speaking in a manner that sounded like impossibly beautiful gibberish,Casting Protection from Evil and Good, Twinned on herself and Javern touching her own chest, and then that of the Dwarf. Then, the sorcerer nodded her assent to Javern continuing.

 

Vymani Human Sorcerer 5/Bard 1 Left hand: Empty Right Hand: Empty Action: Twinned Protection from Evil and Good, targeting herself and Javern. Concentration spell lasting ten minutes.

Amos Knutter "That's spooky!" says Amos. But he's not about to let some spookiness keep him from his prize, even if Vymani thinks kind of magical blessing is needed. (That's what her spell seemed like to him, anyway.) If Javern manages to open the door, he'll head in. He just wishes he'd thought to bring a lantern. Mechanics   Move: Action:   Grasping Tendrils.

Thunderbumpers incoming. No game tonight.

[Exfilia]

Eventually Javern does get the door open. It's very dark in there, and much colder than it ought to be, and the air is quite stale. Except for a tiny circle around Javern and another around Vymani, the place practically exudes evil.

It looks like there's an arched stone tunnel leading back into the bluff.

What would you like to do now?

[Oakie]

Amos Knutter There's a darkness about the place, something more than mere lack of light, that rankles Amos. "Anyone got a torch? I don't wanna go stumbling in there blind. Didn't think to bring that or one of Taen's lanterns from the ship. Stupid." Mechanics   Move: Action:   Grasping Tendrils.

[Kshnik]

You don’t need a torch. At least not for a bit. Javern reaches over and touches Amos. Suddenly Amos vision adjusts. He can now see in darkness out to 300 feet. It’s called Eyes of Night. Lasts about an hour.

[Exfilia]

Javern's ability allows Amos temporary dark vision.

So, what do you do now?
