As Crivelln's ethereal weapon slams home, the door's surface lights up. Magical energy in the form of glowing runes pulses out of it, condensing toward the centre and coalescing into a tiny, fiercely bright point of light.

Crivelln was well prepared for the repercussions, but the first blow was very much a test, to see if anything more serious might result. It appeared that he wouldn't have to wait very long to see what that might be.Crivelln thought it best to quickly bring the door down before it could trigger anything further.

The solid metal slab buckles and warps under the force of Crivelln's blows. It shouldn't take much more to tear it from its frame.
The mote of light hangs in the space in front of the door as Crivelln works around it, growing brighter by the second.

Crivelln continued his hacking. If the bright light meant something, they were sure to find out about it soon enough. While his spectral weapon was effective against the door, Crivelln's greatsword was ill-suited to the task. If he knew that there was going to be demolishing of objects, he would've brought a maul or great hammer to smash his way through.

Silvanus simply steps back on the stairs to give more space to Crivelln mighty blows and turns into giant spider because he feel uncomfortable in human form among webbing. Eventually he decides to watch for anything that could endanger them from the upstairs.

A second blow from the divine axe rends the door off its hinges. As it falls, the mote of light flares impossibly bright and then explodes in a ball of flame.

The spell captures some of the incoming energy, lessening its effect on you and storing it for your next melee attack. You have resistance to the triggering damage type until the start of your next turn. Also, the first time you hit with a melee attack on your next turn, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage of the triggering type, and the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.

Just as Crivelln is about to step over the threshold of the room, Avaris' hand on his shoulder stops him in place. In the light from the Lantern of Revealing, a shimmering symbol spreads across the floor of the chamber, so faint and fine as to be almost invisible while it lies dormant.
Avaris has seen its like before. Death.

Crivelln saw the near invisible outline of the symbol at the same time as when Avaris laid a warning hand on him. That was the moment to give Silvanus' pause on his wildfire spirit as well, for it wasn't fire they had to deal with now, but a sigil of death.
Crivelln looked more carefully to see if the symbol would affect the entire room they were about to enter.

With Avaris' roll, would he be able to tell whether the entire room would be affected by the sphere's effects? Apr 14, 2022 7:52 am
When Silvanus see that Crivelln ignore his suggestion to send spirit to trigger any other magical attacks (because spirit is renewable resource) he sends spirit back up the stairs to burn any webs that may want to spread their way.
When Silvanus see silent communication between friends he send tepehatic question to sends "What's wrong?"

As far as I understand Silvanus don't understand why Crivelln is stopped in the doorway by Avaris. He do not see the shimmering symbol yet and even if see then only Avaris recognise it. Apr 14, 2022 8:37 am
"Sigil of death inscribed on the floor." Crivelln replied. While he had understood Silvanus' methods, having been teammates for so many years, Crivelln continued to marvel at the differences in their approach.
OOC:
Haha, another playstyle difference! I don't see Crivelln as treating summoned creatures as renewable resources. Crivelln can summon a celestial, but he would treat that celestial as an ally, just like how he has named his pegasus from Find Greater Steed.Last edited April 14, 2022 12:38 pm

@BedzoneII The difference in play style i see is this: until DM say that Crivelln knows this is "Sigil of death" your PC can't claim it. It was only Avaris who did recognize it
As for attitude to summons - it is not a play-style it is a role play I choose for the particular PC. I have done it different for different PCs
[ +- ] Some details
I have a paladin and when playing paladin I treated Find Steed a divine gift. I have tailored him a special armor in another game I play and seek a stables for it to stay the night. I would also treat any celestial also as ally.
If I play a warlock however I would treat demons he summons as a resource, not a friend
As a Silvnus I treat beasts i summon with spells as my allies, no an elemental who is "You can summon the primal spirit bound to your soul" and who is said not to die when drop to 0 HP
More over rule wise it does not matter if I dismiss it or it drop to 0 HP - it is all the same
Besides I could summon it back unlimited amount of time, while you could only Find Steed few time a day

"Death" The Word Immediately goes out through Avarris's Mind Transmitting to Crivelln who is in danger, he takes the time to point out the Symbol to Crivelln and then Turns back to Silvanus, "A Sigil of Death This Direction may just be a trap, however it looks like we're encountering some of the strongest wards which I would expect to be placed at the entrance." looking carefully for a way around Avaris takes a look from every angle moving himself on to the ceiling of the hallway so he can get a better look a the ceiling of the other room without straining his neck and so on Investigating from every angle before proceeding, there must be some way around this, flight? walking on walls? even just going around, that or a way Theo would have disarmed when he was headed through.

OOC:
I have edited to delete 'death' from my post. I will however point out that it is Crivelln who owns the Lantern of Revealing which reveals invisible creatures, and it is the DM's perogative whether it also reveals near-invisible things like a Symbol spell. If the DM were to play it RAW, only an Investigation check would reveal it, so Avaris the PC can't claim it either. I do not agree that this is a play style issue, but a DM perogative issue. I do agree with your correction though, and have corrected myself unless the DM says otherwise. Your comment 'renewable resource' leads me to understand that it is a play style issue and not a role-play issue. But thank you for your further clarification in your further explanation. It is a play style issue because one of the ways to treat summon creatures is as expendable resources, to be cast and recast to serve exploration. It is the equivalent of sending minions, henchmen, etc to trigger traps, wards, what we call cannon fodder. I did not only specify Find Greater Steed but also Summon Celestial. It is a role play issue if you presented some role-playing with your wildfire spirit. I only now know about your roleplay details from your additional note explaining your previous experience with warlocks, paladins and druids.
