Chapter Five: Bapdis Orjo's Gift of Reconciliation

BullOctorok says:

It certainly could be an elf. Feel free to try a Perception roll.

The person squatting in the flames does not seem to hear you.

Terra, who's been loitering in the back out of the way, checks the scene.

Apologies for the silence - life was kicking my ass.

Can Terra help with Find Trap in addition to a Perception roll?

Terra can go ahead and make a separate roll to look for traps.

"I think it might be him!" Domarc cries. "Can we remove him from the flames?"

Domarc looks at the statues emitting the fire jets. Do they have an off switch, or could we topple them or are they carved into the floor/walls? Use whichever roll seems appropriate.

Edit: This is definitely an investigation thing, right? Right?

The statues seem to be attached to the ground. They each have two empty holes for eyes and the mouth hole from which the fire is emitted. There is no obvious way to "turn them off" or otherwise control the flame jets.

Edit: For a visual reference imagine something like haniwa, but without the posed arms. They're about two feet tall.

Domarc eyes the figure in the flames again. "This seems odd to me; I don't think this was his plan!"

Arcana check to see if I have any idea what might be going on here or if there's a way to shut it down

No obvious solutions come to mind for Domarc.

Do the figures mean anything to Mordred? Perhaps some Infernal connection? He cautiously waves his hand close to one of the flame jets, to get a sense of how hot it is.

It's very hot. The entire chamber is uncomfortably hot for anyone without fire resistance; standing by the edge of the pit, the heat is nearly unbearable.

The statues don't look like anything to Mordred, they're too simple and crude to be clearly representational, and the style isn't anything he's seen before.

Fjorgyn's teeth! It was sweltering in here! Barely able to see the center of the room over the waves of scorching heat, Felor asks his companions "Maybe we should smash the small figures?"

Zangua tries to see if there's anything else in this chamber that might be used, even if it's as simple as opening a window to let in some air.

Terra cursed. More fire. Suddenly being surrounded by water didn't seem like such a terrible curse, earlier. She scans quickly for traps as Felor suggests breaking the statues. "Wait... we have no idea if they're booby trapped." She concentrates...

Could I pour water into the eyes of the figure?

Jun 16, 2017 3:39 pm

There are no windows in this cavern. Yes, you can pour water into the eyes if you'd like.

Zangua mutters, "Probably another one of them elementals. Break 'em free just like we did the water girl."

"Has anyone checked the chest?" Domarc asks, heading over to it. "Let's not run about like our hair's on fire...because it's not. Yet."

Inspecting the chest for signs of traps

Edit - investigation, I mean

A careful inspection reveals no signs of traps on the outside of the chest, and gingerly lifting the lid a few centimeters suggests that there are no locks or traps hidden inside.

Totally forgot about the chest. I'll hold off on the water for now.

Zangua looks back at the entranceway and the mist lingering there. "Is that the elf?" he asks, pointing at the kneeling figure and trying to be heard above the spewing flames.
