    Does anyone have the golden key the party found earlier in the adventure? Or is it gone with one of the dead party members?

    Certainly. Aerie can cast the second, but not the first spell. In the depression, you do see a hole, though. You think it's a keyhole.

    How about Viconia? Does she know any protection spells?

  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Nope. Sarevok passed it on to Imoen. She has it, along with the scepter. @Katastrophe did you take the 50,000gp golden crown that Korgan had as well?
  • katastrophekatastrophe Member Posts: 404
    @LadyRhian Of course! I thought that went without saying...yes...
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    @LadyRhian
    Could Aerie teleport the key into the lock?

    @Viconia "You must have fallen out of favor of your goddess to be sent into this dank pit," sneered Kivan.

    Or summon a monster to use the key on the lock.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    @Permidion_Stark No, but which one? You have two- golden and bronze. I'm gonna call them first and second.

    That sounds like a good plan.

    OOC I'll read the poem on page 10 and get back to you on that one!

    Alora recites a poem to everyone:

    Go back through the Tormentor or through the arch
    and the second great hall you'll discover.
    Shun green if you can, but night's good color
    is for those of great valor.
    If shades of red stand for blood the wise
    will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of
    magical metal- you're well along your march.

    Two pits along the way will be found to lead
    to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall.
    These keys and those are most important of all,
    and beware of trembling hands and what will maul,
    If you find the false you find the true
    and into the columned hall you'll come
    and there's the throne that's key and keyed.

    The iron men of visage grim do more than
    meets the viewer's eye.
    You've left and left and found my Tomb
    and now your soul will die.

    @LadyRhian I thought I had the scepter to be honest. Snagged it on page 118.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    "Ah, Kivan, always so gracious." Viconia replied. "I merely follow the trail your tongue leaves as it drags in the dust on the floor of the tomb. You must be in the seven heavens with all of these pretty women about." She gestures to his pants. "I thought even it must get tired of holding up your pants eventually..."

    Alora thinks the poem is a waste of time. Viconia how about animating a skeleton and getting it to put key number one in the lock while we stand a long way away?

    Or you could animate Korgan. I'm sure he'd like to be helpful. It's what he would have wanted.
  • katastrophekatastrophe Member Posts: 404
    Shar-Teel points towards Korgan.
    "Not exactly a great choice but he might be more useful as an animated corpse than he was as a companion"
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    "I did not prepare that spell," Viconia says.
  • katastrophekatastrophe Member Posts: 404
    "Perhaps if Kivan drank that healing potion he'd be up to opening the door, trap or no trap" Shar-Teel mutters, loudly enough so that only Alora can overhear.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    I gave him the potion like you said. It's not my fault he hasn't drunk it.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    @Awong124
    Kivan. Are you going to drink that healing potion that I didn't get off Shar-Teel?
  • katastrophekatastrophe Member Posts: 404
    OOC: She would say that, wouldn't she? Haha.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    @LadyRhian

    Has Aerie got any Summon Monster spells left?
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Aerie casts a Monster Summoning III spell. a Hobgoblin stands there, blinking, then picks up the first key and sticks it in the lock. Bang! It's blown across the foyer for 9 hp. It stumbles to its feet, and picks up the next key at Aerie's direction. There is an even louder explosion which kills the Hobgoblin dead.

    "Why would I drink it when I'm at full health? That's just wasteful. Maybe once I'm wounded."
  • katastrophekatastrophe Member Posts: 404
    Well we're all out of keys. We have a crown and the scepter and...some jewels and coin. What else have we taken from the dungeon that might open the door?
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Maybe the scepter will fit in the indentation?



  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Or we could knock on the door and see if anyone answers?
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Which end are you going to use? The gold or the silver?
  • Awong124Awong124 Member Posts: 2,642
    Kivan's stomach is in knots due to his general hatred for drow, but in spite of himself he finds the fragrant scent and beauty of Viconia intoxicating.

    "Keep your distance from me drow. The mere scent of you is enough to make me wretch."

    I'm thinking silver. But I don't want to do it. Can we summon another hobgoblin?
