Khali's eyes widen as she takes all of this in. The splash grabs her attention so she stays close to Anlo. She's already wounded and can't take another hit.

The golem kneels down in the liquid--nearly submerging fully--just to rise up heaving a large rock dripping with bubbling liquid at Anlo.

The rock hits Anlo squarely.

OOC:

Anlo takes 3 Bludgeoning Damage and must pass a CON save DC 10 to avoid 4 more points of acid damage .

Stats
Anlo – Current HP: 23, Temp HP: 0, Superiority Dice: 4/4
Khali – Current HP: 5, Temp HP: 0, Spells Left: (Lvl1 2/4 - Lvl2 2/3), Portent Rolls (4, 10)
Golem - HP 50

How far away ore we from the crown? How far away are we from the golem?

OOC:

Maybe this helps. The squares are 5'. So Khali is less than 10' from the headband. The golem is about 20' away.

Anlo makes a sound as the rock hits him, and staggers a bit. "Go! Maybe the headband can stop this thing!" Anlo lets go of Khali's hand and moves towards the golem, flinging a throwing spike as he does so.

OOC:

Moving up one square and left one square, about 15 feet from the golem. Using Action Surge, and also using Quick Toss (assuming two spikes don't drop the golem of course) as a bonus action.

Probably stupid, but using Sharpshooter on all attacks.

EDIT: Will use Precise Attack on the Bonus Action attack to try and make it hit. >> It's a 16 to hit.

Suddenly a phantasmal hand appears over the crown and grabs it! The hand brings the crown back to Khali and after a quick apology to Anlo,because this might bring about the death of them, she places the crown upon her own head.

When the phantasmal hand places the headband on Khali's head, she instantly feels that she has the power to arrange the floating scenes images above through her hand gestures and her mind.

OOC:

Sky, you may ask me one question about the images per turn.

OOC:

Seck says:

Ma it looks like you got some good hits in there. I'm unfortunately a little confused though.

So you are using Action Surge, Precise Attack, and Sharpshooter, right?

Can you fill in this to help me?
Action 1
Attack Roll to apply:
Damage Roll to apply:
Sharpshooter 1d10 Roll:

Action 2
Attack Roll to apply:
Damage Roll to apply:
Sharpshooter 1d10 Roll:

Bonus Action
Roll Result to apply:
Damage Roll to apply:
Sharpshooter 1d10 Roll:

Using the Attack Action, then Action Surge for a second attack action, then Quick Toss as a bonus action to attack. Also - applying Precision Attack to the Quick Toss attack.

Sharpshooter adds a flat +10 damage, not 1d10. It's why the damage rolls are 1d4+15, not 1d4+1d10+5.

Hopefully that explains it well enough?

Recovering quickly from being hit by the rock, Anlo reacts with a spike that lodges in the shoulder of the Golem, some stone crumbles away at the spike's point of contact. (Golem takes 17 Damage.)

Quick on his feet, Anlo follows his first attack with two more. One misses but the last lands in the same shoulder nearly dislodging the stone creature's arm from the rest of its slow moving figure. (Golem takes 22 damage)

OOC:

Gotcha Ma. So Anlo hit the Golem with 39 damage and expended 2 superiority dice. Pretty sweet work there.

Sky, I'll wait for Khali's action/question before I make any more posts. A good view of the images are below inside the spoiler.

OOC:

Acually, I changed my mind. Sky, you can ask three questions about the images per turn. I was originally thinking to use Khali's Wisdom bonus to see how many question you could ask per turn, but it makes more sense for this puzzle to be influenced by Khali's Intelligence, for which she has a +3 bonus, hence three questions/turn.

Jul 4, 2024 12:37 pm

OOC:

1. Are these portals to places that can be entered?
2. If they are portals, do any of them lead back to lerendi?
3. Can she recreate the portal that she and Anlo entered at the start of this dungeon/ruin?

.

Jul 4, 2024 4:17 pm

OOC:

1. As it stands these are not portals, just scenes. But Khali feels she could turn them into portals once she arranges them in a certain order. (Once arranged, Khali could turn any scene into a portal with a DC 18 INT check. She'll get an additional +3 bonus from the headband.)

2. Khali is not sure where any portal would lead. That said, one scene (Image B) appears to be the formation of the first settlement on Ierendi, while another scene (Image D) appears to be a more current scene of the Tournament of Adventures. Perhaps it depicts the first tournament that Queen Mari won, as she is a combatant in the scene.

3. Khali is not yet sure if she can recreate the portal that she and Anlo entered, but she knows this headband increases her abilities. (While wearing it she recieves +3 on any INT roll.)

What action does Khali take?

Jul 5, 2024 6:50 am

Khali thinks that perhaps they are to be arranged in order of a timeline. She arranges as
A. The Cosmic Egg; the beginning of creation.
B. Early settlement. The beginning of Civilization.
E. Improved Civilization
D. The Latest Contest
C. Some future Catastrophic Event. The End of Civilization.
She attempts to merge these into a Portal to modern lerendi.

OOC:

Any chance this could be an Arcana check? @Seck

Jul 6, 2024 6:54 am

The swirling ring around the image Khali placed in the fifth fourth position (D. The Latest Contest) turns green, while the other rings turn red. As the colors change, another statue suddenly moves between pillars on the wall and drops into the bubbling liquid. The newly animated golem slowly trudges through the liquid making its way toward the circular platform, while the other one makes its way to the wall around the circular platform and begins to pull itself up out of the liquid onto it.

OOC:

Sorry for the delay.
Yes. An Arcana or History check for Khali (DC 10) would be good here for her to see what insight she has about a specific image.

By the way, Khali's thinking that the scenes need to be arranged in order of a timeline is correct.
