OOC:
I've updated DM char with full map of the level as much as you have revealed it. Please let me know what do you do next?
i.e. should you agree to leave this room undisturbed I need to know where you go to. If you still want to do anything in this room, please do so.

"Surely this is one of the 9 gods. My unseen friend suggested that more salt was needed. Does anyone have any? All of the tombs so far have provided valuable items; I should not like it if we later found that a key piece of the puzzle was left here.

Now, the plaque said 'only a jewel can tame the frog'. We haven't found any jewels on this level... yet.

Might be inside a square skull. Might be salt in there. Anything happen when you shake it?

Could also be that the jewel is in another room, or even in the pocket dimension somewhere.

So, I think we should go looking for that jewel, and once we find it, return here to investigate the coffin. Let's make sure its not in here."


I fly around the pentagram, grab the square skull, and give it a shake. Do I hear anything rattling around in there?

"Good thinking Tinks!" - Zean says with appreciation.

"Hmm... salt... more salt... maybe we can simply bring it from the 'pocket plane/dimension' ? I would say: let's try going trough circular portal in the other way this time... if there won't be any salt in this strange skull."
OOC:
I mean going in the circular portal in the direction where the dead goat-person lays. I think last time we did go the other way, so probably were transported to different plane. To me it looks like there are two pocket dimension and our: original one?

Shaking the skill does nothing, but proves it's just a skull.
OOC:
Just to double check you are all moving back, then move through the portal on top of cylindrical hallway, repeat the process of flooding the wine (that will take another hour of waiting) and finally get to the pentagram to grab some salt from there, right?
I will assume you all go together, not just Zean. Right?

Go grab some salt from the other side? Public

Yes
Wait, I have a better idea

OOC:
Actually, let's move on
Party agree with Zean there is little risk of doing his plan and you have plenty of time. You gather the salt without anything unexpected happening and return to the normal plan only to discover that the salt you gathered disappeared when you passed the through portal.
OOC:
What do you do next?

"Argh, I thought that might happen. So much for sourcing anything from the pocket dimension. Should we explore the rest of this level and see if we find salt or a jewel? "
Sep 27, 2024 2:49 am
"Your point about the nine gods stands, Tink. We'd better deal with whatever's in there... after we look around some more."
Sep 27, 2024 9:01 am
"Exploring some more - that is!" - Zean said enthusiastically being disappointed that they have wasted so much time because of his idea.

OOC:
I still need anyone to pick a direction. I'm not sure you will like how I narrate "look around" unless you are looking forward for railroading.
Sep 27, 2024 11:21 am
"I suggest we go investigate the small room with the green heart shaped thing."
OOC:
Sorry I don't remember what that is supposed to be, can't really tell from the map.

You could still go back to very first post in this thread for level description. Guess you are going to North: Devil face
As Ixion follows Tinkara he could see through the magical darkness in the devil face mouth - there is a 5-foot-wide cylindrical shaft that descends 10 feet before opening up in the ceiling below. Magical darkness fills the mouth and the shaft. Vatoris informs detect magic spell reveals auras of evocation and illusion magic within the shaft.

Ixion: I see a flickering light across hieroglyphs carved into the tiled floor. A gold-inlaid funeral barge stands atop a three-foot-tall stone dais. Resting on the deck of the barge is a small golden sarcophagus decorated with horned rabbits

"So... any ideas how to descend there relatively safe? As from Vatoris descriptions it seems that the shaft probably have another magical trap?" - Zean asks clueless.

"I think I'm capable of defending straight down in a hover."

"Another of the dead gods, no doubt. Be careful flying down, Tink. I can open a dimensional doorway to take myself and one other down, too."

I will descend slowly through the dark shaft.

After a scary fly through the darkness Tinkara see the Tomb below
OOC:
Since she can tall you what she see I will not do private but spoiler message.

After relaying to the party what I see, I will go and examine the dwarf skeleton, without landing on the floor, and using my staff to move things around. Do I see anything interesting?

Hearing Tink's report, Zean shouts only as loud she could hear him:
"Tinks: please check the south corridor too - but don't fly in there - maybe we will be able to join you through it? Without risking this suspicious shaft?"

Then he turns towards Vatoris: "You think... if I would pock my head on the other side of this magical darkness... I could cast Dispel Magic on the shaft making it safe for all of us to descend?"

To others with him in upper chamber - Zean recalled them the contest of metal plate:

"'Into darkness descend.' so maybe it's not as dangerous?"
