Chapter 4: Level 3 dungeon

Nyx steps around the corner. Hopefullybefore he can take more abuse from reckless teammates triggering traps

Tante Lude shouts, "TINKS, STOP! THAT WILL HIT EVERYONE WITH ANOTHER WAVE."

But she braces herself knowing that her shout may not have been in time.

"Around the corner quickly then! This spell is short!"

Nyx manage to step around the corner while Tinkara is chanting her spell words and Tante Lude manage to delay Tinkara's movement to give everyone else time to follow Nyx Yet another wave comes from the curtain when Tinkara steps into it, but this time she manages to keep her footing despite.

Constitution save. I would like to maintain the spell for the entire minute if I can.

If the water has been going on the other side of the curtain as well, I will go quickly around the corner.

We can keep trying ideas or just take the damage and go through. I can give everyone a prayer (guidance) that might help you stand up to the wave; anyone else have either another idea or a way to help us bull through?

And, the next one to go through, talk to those already through to see if they learned anything. Someone who can send thoughts or messages should probably go through next.

I will go Nyx says.

I have telepathy by it usually requires me to see the target. But i still try

He established a telepathic link, wildshapes into a cave bear and goes through

Bear squeeze through taking some damage (9 HP) while everyone else securely wait behind corners

I'll describe what you can see there later, for now only visual map of what Criella and Tinka see
Obviously - stork-headed malehas the crawlway between its legs in the this - reflected room



Now as Tante Lude (ans others as well, but she has best PP, so let's say she is first to notice) were standing in safety could observe that water from seems to go through a section of the east wall. Unarmed hawk-headed females mural. Touching the surface of wall reveals that its stones and the images on them are illusions.

Alcove hidden behind 5-foot-wide, 8-foot-tall illusion of damp stone wall bearing painting of hawk-headed female warrior contains a plinth bearing a crystal eyeball 1 inch in diameter: a pale purple eyeball.

Attempts to speak to the wildshaped druid through the telepathic link: "What do we need to know coming through?"
 "If y'all will move around a corner or something, I will take that eyeball with my telekinesis."

I'm assuming the eyeball is on the other side of the water, if not, I will take it once all the others are through.

Nyx you see Tante Lude and you could even hear (though barely) what she is saying on the other side of the water curtain. And you saw how she touched the mural and her hand disappeared into the wall. Vesuvius orders everyone to move around the corner. Bear manage to squeeze into the west corridor. And Vesuvius moves through holding sword and a hand axe only to trigger the wave again. He don't give up and try again. Then again. After third attempt he admits that he have taken too much damage and asks You want me to keep trying?

Did you add the guidance to Vesusius's Strength/Athletics save? If that's allowed, it should get him through on the second try I think. IF not, Tante Lude will ask him to accept healing before trying again.

Then once he is through and she is alone on the other side, with the eyeball picked up telekinetically (if I understand where it is) and deposited in a wrap and into her backpack, she will try to go through herself, again using guidance to improve the athletics save if possible.

IF Vesuvius comes over, I will cast Healing Word on him 3 times.

Vesuvius pray his gods and feel better. He keep trying

After Vesuvius finally makes it through Tante Lude follow . She enter curtain still holding trident. This time wave does not trigger

"Walk through water with weapon in hand.
Slake your shadow at the font.
The vulture is the first step.
Right the gods.
The walls of history tell all.

Tante Lude repeats the clues. I do not know why it worked for me and no one else; if someone does, enlighten me, I'm feeling a bit thick-headed. I also need some healing and can do a bit for myself or others. Anyone else have healing after those waves?

Next step seems to be casting a shadow over the font where the water originates. But first, healing."

Lude casts a healing word on herself, waiting for others to speak up.

You said where the water goes through; where does it come from?

"Tante Lude, you are carrying the eye. Perhaps that's why you didn't trigger the trap."

"That's a definite possibility though it doesn't fit the lines from the plaque.

Whoever has the mace, want to trade it for the trident? If we need to use these things, I've never fought with a trident."

"My experience is that we only figure out the plaques afterwards. They're meant, I think, to be ironic. Not real clues that help us avoid the traps."
