D&D Act One Scene IV - In the shadow of Sanderjarn

Necro

Bandylegs pokes at the door with his battleaxe.

'Xanthea, Saeros - I heard a shout yonder I think.'

Saeros can see that ruins were wards that cancel magic spells and affect the undead.

One special symbol, elven in origin, is active. It causes the interior of the cabin to exist in another plane.

I tell the others of what I can read in the ruins. "If I'm reading this right then if we break the last standing spell the undead shall rise."..."And it may also kill Othgereerer"..."And it might be a way back home."

Goooood lckkkkkk
Othegre freezes solid

Digital Solitude

When I reach the cabin, I want to try to push the door open.

Can I see or hear Xanthea and Saeros?

Banjo

Othegre realises no one is buying it or, indeed, paying the slightest bit of attention to her, and runs to catch up.

Fourier

OOC: that should have been "runes" not "ruins" above #697

robyntmorton

Xanthea turns in the direction of the shout.

"MOY! Is that you?"

robyntmorton

"So, we have a choice to make. Do we venture into the cabin in another plane? Or do we try and break the spell and see what happens?"

You can see and hear both.

The door comes straight of the hinges and wallops into the ground with a large thud.

Inside is a nice cosy sitting room with a fire. There's a a desk with a chair (chair facing door) and two chairs near the fireplace, facing the door.

Necro

Bandylegs calls from the back of the cabin.

'I say we go in.'

He pokes harder at the backdoor to see if it opens.

The backdoor budges slightly open.

Othegre catches her breath.
"****ing.. pussy...."
Othegre remembers she doesn't breathe.

"Chairs!"
She takes out her flail.
"Round 2, mother****ers!"

Bandylegs checks the doorway for traps, then proceeds within

Digital Solitude

I start to let the fire's warmth kiss my ass

"Saeros, have you any idea of what happened back there? I have never heard of the like. Is it safe to rest here?"

OOC: Are you entering the cabin?

robyntmorton

Xanthea hops off the roof at the back and helps Bandy force the back door.

Fourier

Backdoor swings open. It leads to a dimly lit kitchen with rusted utensils. Right next to the back door is a door on the left and one on the right.

At the far side of the kitchen there is a door on the right wall and one on the far wall. The door on the far wall is open and through it they can see Moy and Othegre, as well as some of the sitting room.

Necro

Bandylegs checks the kitchen for traps then tries the door on the right wall

robyntmorton

Xanthea steps inside and sweeps the room for traps and hidden items...

The footprints leading away from the door means that someone was here recently.

sKeith

Ekbard trys to read the prayer.

OldGoat

OOC: Gotta go be a taxi driver for one of the kids. Sorry folk, catch up with ya later. Fourier, feel free to ping off my magic missiles if required.

Fourier

BandyLegs enters a very posh gentleman's room.

An elegant piano (~ 10000GP) rests on a velvet carpet.

A single reclining chair with pipe holder.

And...

A five foot tall painting of BandyLegs in Vergadain's shrine and a bizarre figure in a cloak gesturing him toward a dark tunnel. To his right Ekbard sips from a goblet basked in sunlight and Moy sits, legs crossed, on the ground holding vials of a silver liquid. The old dwarfish for "Truth in all" is written at the painting's base.

Digital Solitude

Arse suffiently warmed up, I move towards the back and enter the kitchen.

OOC: To be clear, there's 5 doors? Two leading into the sitting room (one behind me, one infront) and three closed ones? One on either side of the door I came through, and one beside the other sitting room door.

Fourier

It's simple enough. Just wishing for a long life for her and her family. However the final verse is ominous it asks not to be brought before 'the Judge' on the mountains summit.

Banjo

Fourier wrote: »

OOC: Are you entering the cabin?

Othegre enters.

Necro

Bandylegs calls loudly for Moy and Ekbard to come and view this splendid painting. He tentatively walks to the chair, checks it for any danger...

OOC: If none, I'm going to sit down and have my sleep

robyntmorton

Xanthea, having spotted nothing of interest in the kitchen, takes the door to the left (Bandy went right)

Fourier

Banjo wrote: »

Othegre enters.

The sitting room is so warm and cosy. The desk has a single book on it. There is a thick carpet in the middle of the room.

Above the door is a mammoth's head.

Piano music plays somewhere else in the cabin.

OOC: Nobody else hears this music.

[OOC: finally caught up! Where is Elin? Same universe as Goodie or same as Bandy etc? Sorry again guys]

Digital Solitude

I follow Bandys voice into the room on the right

Marvelling at the painting, I can't help but wonder what it symbolises.

I try to remember if I'm familiar with any liquid like that in the vials I am holding. The hooded figure and Ekbards sunny cup seem familiar as I search my memories for any associations I can think of.

"Saeros, an elven eye may be of use in here" I call out, "Bandylegs, is there any dwarven symbolism or mythology in the painting?"

She tries to warm her hands and realises how stupid that is. She sighs and looks up at the mammoth head.
"Hey handsome, what's your story?"
Check room for traps, take a look at the book and carpet. I look with my eyes...

Fourier

Cabin for clarity.

S = Sitting Room
K = Kitchen
P = Painting

Other rooms unexplored.

Bandylegs stirs slightly, half asleep.

'Aye, Truth in All on the bottom of the painting.'

He starts snoring loudly.

I said I'm going into the left room from my back door position...

There is a bedroom, two fine beds and a little desk. Also a little chest, currently locked. And a glass of wine.

Short range. Goodie got close, he's almost impossible to see in the snow.

whats the hit?

robyntmorton

The wine looks tempting, but the whole house seems too strange to risk it. Xanthea checks for traps on her way to examine the desk.

All Moy can recall are old legends of a laughing god holding a similar cup in a similar pose. He recalls an old woodcut in the chantry he attended as a boy depicting the god suffused with light.

The book's cover is made from flesh. Othegre has an excellent sense for flesh now. It's elven.

The carpet has something underneath it.

The desk has a fine purple powder on it.

robyntmorton

Xanthea notes the powder, and turns to the locked chest. She tries to jimmy the lid with her dagger.

The arrow sails into the first tiger and explodes, killing the target and two next to him. The other tigers begin teleporting around the place like crazy looking for the culprit.

Xanthea opens the chest. Two sacks of the purple powder.
