Line 1: Line 1:
 +[19:32] <Harlequin_J_Goat> When last we met -- our Band of Heroes have plunged into the heart of the Lost City of Omu, bargained with the striken Ras Nsi to try to bring about the End of Man by opening a portal for the Nightmare Serpent to come through. Will they bring the end of everything? Is this nothing more than an extended ploy? As this episode of "Tomb of Anihilation" begins -- let us see what tricks are \\ 
 +[19:32] <Harlequin_J_Goat> played...\\ 
 +[19:32] * Harlequin_J_Goat is now known as <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]\\ 
 +[19:34] <May> (Who knows... I'll just keep playing my cards right and join the winning team-- err, I mean, its a ploy! right? hahaha....)\\ 
 +[19:34] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (what was the link to the map?)\\ 
 +[19:34] * May is now known as [[characters:Kayalia]]\\ 
 +[19:35] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (so we have all the cubes now or we waiting for the snake man to pony up the last one?)\\ 
 +[19:35] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (we have them all)\\ 
 +[19:35] * [[characters:Kayalia]] holds the last cube, as Ras Nsi handed it to her.\\ 
 +[19:35] * [[character:Dylan]] asks to be escorted out the front door and away\\ 
 +[19:36] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> (I don't think we told him that we already have all of the cubes... only that we were close to having them all and needed his)\\ 
 +[19:36] * [[characters:Terres]] mutters to himslef "I wonder how much those things would fetch from a collector?"\\ 
 +[19:36] * [[characters:Kayalia]] looks over the cube. "This thing?"\\ 
 +[19:37] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> Four Yuan-ti come out, take positions in front and behind.\\ 
 +[19:37] <@Ash-> "Ah our escort."\\ 
 +[19:37] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> Ras Nsi narrows his eyes. "I await your success."\\ 
 +[19:38] * [[characters:Kayalia]] wipes a trickle of blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand before anyone notices it. She's been biting her tongue to avoid acting scared of the Yaun-Ti up close.\\ 
 +[19:38] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> "Lets move!"\\ 
 +[19:39] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> You are escorted out of the temple...through the front and back to the outside of the complex to the Humid late afternoon jungle.\\ 
 +[19:40] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "So... were we ever, well, made aware of where these were supposed to be used?"\\ 
 +[19:40] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (do we see any of the mercs that survived that ambush attempt while walking around?)\\ 
 +[19:40] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> (are the yuan-ti just with us now? or were they just escorting us out?)\\ 
 +[19:41] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> (Ras Nsi assigned some to us to assist us in killing the necromancer)\\ 
 +[19:41] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> [[characters:Terres]] -- no, you don't see any of the mercenaries)\\ 
 +[19:41] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> (I imagine they're also here to keep watch on us and make sure we don't betray Ras Nsi)\\ 
 +[19:42] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (The yuan-ti are here with you to keep you alive and to try to use the puzzle pieces to bring about the Nightmare Serpent)\\ 
 +[19:42] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> (k)\\ 
 +[19:42] * [[character:Dylan]] turns to the people here to help us\\ 
 +[19:42] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (is it ethical to use yuan-ti to test for traps?)\\ 
 +[19:42] <@Ash-> (It sure is)\\ 
 +[19:42] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "I assume that the necromancer has some sort of lair, do you know where that is?"\\ 
 +[19:43] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> (I think it'd be the best way of getting rid of them without betraying Ras Nsi)\\ 
 +[19:43] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> The yuan-ti look down at you coldly.\\ 
 +[19:43] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (I assume our escorts would know where the entrance is, ras nsi was also trying to get the cubes)\\ 
 +[19:43] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] moves up next to kay. "good job back there."\\ 
 +[19:43] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (Ethical? It would be downright rule to not use them!)\\ 
 +[19:44] * [[character:Dylan]] eyes the yuan-ti\\ 
 +[19:44] * [[characters:Kayalia]] shakes her head to [[character:Dylan]] when the Yaun-Ti don't offer anything useful. "We'll have to look around some more."\\ 
 +[19:45] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Your job is to be helpful here, not to give us dour stares. If you look at me like that I will send you back to Rah Nsi in pieces"\\ 
 +[19:45] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] moves back towards the back of the group.\\ 
 +[19:45] * Tolman is now known as [[characters:Stolanimus]]\\ 
 +[19:45] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (maybe Ryus dwarf knows where we need to go, too bad he is MIA)\\ 
 +[19:45] * [[character:Dylan]] says flatly\\ 
 +[19:45] * [[characters:Kayalia]] offers [[character:Miri]] a nervous smile.\\ 
 +[19:46] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Or, I'll just let [[character:Miri]] over here let loose her pent up aggression. The former might be a better fate for you."\\ 
 +[19:46] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "Take us to the tomb of the dead nine."\\ 
 +[19:46] <@Ash-> "Anybody stop to think that maybe they don't speak the common tounge of man?"\\ 
 +[19:46] * [[characters:Kayalia]] jabs [[character:Dylan]]'s foot with her heel, then whispers to him, "Don't be antogonistic. We don't need this falling apart that way."\\ 
 +[19:48] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> The two front most yuan-ti look over their shoudlers to look at [[character:Miri]] They snarl and start walking.\\ 
 +[19:48] * [[characters:Kayalia]] begins to perform a spell using a magic talisman from among her eccentric posessions.\\ 
 +[19:48] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]] stands beside [[character:Dylan]] in support.\\ 
 +[19:49] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] heh's and follows the two front most yuan-ti.\\ 
 +[19:49] * [[characters:Terres]] marches somewhere in the middle of the group watching the snake men warily\\ 
 +[19:50] * [[character:Dylan]] follows them solemnly\\ 
 +[19:50] * [[characters:Kayalia]] casts comprehend languages as a ritual, allowing her to know everything the Yaun-Ti say amongst one-another, to better udnerstand their attitude.\\ 
 +[19:50] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> They take you through the city -- you feel stares at the base of your neck from the back -- at a quick pace.\\ 
 +[19:51] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> (lasts 1 hr)\\ 
 +[19:51] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> There is a roar to the west -- now a familiar sound.\\ 
 +[19:51] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "Wish I had some way of speaking their language. At least I can suss out what they say with my divinations."\\ 
 +[19:51] * Ash- quietly walks with the large group.\\ 
 +[19:52] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> One of the yuan-ti mutters something...\\ 
 +[19:52] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (its probably a Koala in heat)\\ 
 +[19:52] * [[characters:Kayalia]] puzzles over the meaning of the Yaun-Ti's words.\\ 
 +[19:53] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (Or a Koala suffering from a bad case of chalmydia)\\ 
 +[19:53] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]] moves to [[character:Ash]] speaking lowly.\\ 
 +[19:53] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] keeps her hand on her sword, but keeps it sheethed, for now.\\ 
 +[19:53] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]]> �What are the cubes for? We are here to break the curse preventing life-giving power. Were we told how to do that?�\\ 
 +[19:54] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "Do you four not speak our tongue?" Kaya asks out loud to the Yaun-Ti escorts.\\ 
 +[19:54] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> As you press on, out of the corners of your eyes, you see other creatures -- kobolds, tabaxi and other strange creatures -- slink away into the shadows.\\ 
 +[19:54] * Ash- replies back to Stol...\\ 
 +[19:54] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> [[characters:Kayalia]] -- they don't say anything to you, or even acknowldge you.\\ 
 +[19:54] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> ( those are all part of  Ras Nsi entourage?)\\ 
 +[19:54] * [[characters:Kayalia]] crosses her arms.\\ 
 +[19:54] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (They were summoned)\\ 
 +[19:55] <@Ash-> "I believe they are the key to getting to where the lich lies.  I suspect he has the artifact that is causing this problem. He apparently dwells in a place called 'The Tomb of the Nine Gods'."\\ 
 +[19:56] * [[character:Dylan]] nods\\ 
 +[19:56] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "Yes, I recall one of you mentioning it before that we needed the cubes to get into some tomb. The lich is there, I guess? Undead... what a joke..."\\ 
 +[19:56] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]]> �So the cubes form a key or portal to this lich?�\\ 
 +[19:57] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> They come to a vine covered obelisk and stop.\\ 
 +[19:57] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> "Here is the temple."\\ 
 +[19:57] * [[characters:Kayalia]] looks over the obelisk.\\ 
 +[19:57] * [[character:Dylan]] looks at the Obelisk\\ 
 +[19:57] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (https://media-waterdeep.cursecdn.com/attachments/2/906/501.png)\\ 
 +[19:57] <@Ash-> "My guess is they open the way to the dungeon called the Tomb of the Nine Gods.  Probably some sort of key though, yes."\\ 
 +[19:57] * [[characters:Terres]] looks over the Obelisk for any writing\\ 
 +[19:58] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Why can things never be easy?"\\ 
 +[19:58] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]] looks at the vines and overgrowth with appreciation.\\ 
 +[19:58] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]]> �Obviously, the cubes go into those spaces."\\ 
 +[19:58] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]] points.\\ 
 +[19:58] * [[characters:Kayalia]] looks around at the ruins. "If this wasn't a murder-jungle, I'd say this was actually a rather charming place."\\ 
 +[19:59] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> Near the base of the cliffs, a fifteen-foot-tall obelisk of cracked stone is draped with vines and black moss. Behind it, you see a dark passageway obscured by withered creepers. A second, smaller tunnel burrows into the base of a cliff to the east.\\ 
 +[19:59] * [[characters:Kayalia]] climbs up to the spot where the nine cubbies are and examines them to see if they call for a specific cube in each hole.\\ 
 +[20:00] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (everyone roll perception)\\ 
 +[20:00] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> 1d20\\ 
 +[20:00] <{{:campaigns:stota:d20.png?nolink&25|}}TolBot> [[[character:Dylan]]'s 1d20(?)]: 1 (Nooooo!)\\ 
 +[20:00] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> 1d20+6 perception\\ 
 +[20:00] <{{:campaigns:stota:d20.png?nolink&25|}}TolBot> [[[characters:Kayalia]]'s 1d20(?)+6 'perception']: 20\\ 
 +[20:01] * [[character:Dylan]] finds a rock\\ 
 +[20:01] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Look a rock"\\ 
 +[20:01] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> 1d20+3 perception\\ 
 +[20:01] <{{:campaigns:stota:d20.png?nolink&25|}}TolBot> [[[characters:Terres]]'s 1d20(?)+3 'perception']: 14\\ 
 +[20:01] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "Its a lovely rock, [[character:Dylan]]."\\ 
 +[20:01] * [[characters:Kayalia]] continues about her investigating.\\ 
 +[20:01] <@Ash-> 1d20+3\\ 
 +[20:01] <{{:campaigns:stota:d20.png?nolink&25|}}TolBot> [[[character:Ash]]-'s 1d20(?)+3]: 16\\ 
 +[20:02] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> 1d20\\ 
 +[20:02] <{{:campaigns:stota:d20.png?nolink&25|}}TolBot> [[[character:Miri]]'s 1d20(?)]: 10\\ 
 +[20:02] * [[character:Dylan]] tries rubbing the rock on the Pillar and uses Divine Sense\\ 
 +[20:02] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (obelisk*)\\ 
 +[20:02] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]]> 1d20+7 perc\\ 
 +[20:02] <{{:campaigns:stota:d20.png?nolink&25|}}TolBot> [[[characters:Stolanimus]]'s 1d20(?)+7 'perc']: 14\\ 
 +[20:03] * Ash- looks up at the cliff sides.\\ 
 +[20:03] <@Ash-> "Huh.  Interesting looking statues."\\ 
 +[20:03] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]] looks around.\\ 
 +[20:03] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]]> �I don�t like the look of those gargoyles.�\\ 
 +[20:03] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "...uhh, those, ... are creepy," Kaya states, suddenly noticing several gargoyles up above them on the cliffside nearby, up top. \\ 
 +[20:03] * [[characters:Terres]] moves some moss and vines and reads from the Obelisk: Fear the night when the forsaken one seizes death�s mantle and the seas dry up and the dead rise and I, Acererak the Eternal, reap the world of the living. Those who dare enter take heed: The enemies oppose.\\ 
 +[20:03] * [[character:Dylan]] is concentrating on the Obelisk with divine sense\\ 
 +[20:03] * [[characters:Terres]] continues: One stands between them.\\ 
 +[20:03] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> In darkness, it hides.\\ 
 +[20:03] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> Don the mask or be seen.\\ 
 +[20:03] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> Speak no truth to the doomed child.\\ 
 +[20:03] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> The keys turn on the inside only.\\ 
 +[20:04] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "There is a fiendish presence within this obelisk..."\\ 
 +[20:04] * [[character:Dylan]] clears the vines on each side to get a closer look at the Obelisk\\ 
 +[20:05] * [[characters:Kayalia]] apparently doesn't see anything with the cubbies.\\ 
 +[20:06] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] runs the words through her head trying to figure them out.\\ 
 +[20:06] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]]> (hmm)\\ 
 +[20:07] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (anything special about those gargoyles? do they look like they can spew acid on us if we try the wrong combination?)\\ 
 +[20:07] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (anything on the obelisk?)\\ 
 +[20:08] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]]> (where is the obelisk in the image of the hall and door you posted?)\\ 
 +[20:08] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (https://imgur.com/1diZgIj)\\ 
 +[20:09] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (i just read the inscription from the obelisk)\\ 
 +[20:09] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (It would be behind you if you were the characters in hte picture)\\ 
 +[20:09] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (put up a small map)\\ 
 +[20:09] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (oh I thought it was covered in vines?)\\ 
 +[20:10] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] pulls out her sword and lights it and moves towards the smaller tunnel and takes a look.\\ 
 +[20:11] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Can someone write that down?"\\ 
 +[20:11] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] moves in a little further to take a look at the figure at the end.\\ 
 +[20:11] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "It sounds like we are supposed to use that information in the future."\\ 
 +[20:12] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (OMG, one of the viral images i got on that mini map was this : https://imgur.com/gallery/n6kgsan cant stop laughing now)\\ 
 +[20:12] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] backs out and rejoins the group. "this is a weird place."\\ 
 +[20:15] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (It's Acerack!)\\ 
 +[20:15] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "there is a tunnel over there with eight alcolves, each one has a beastial statue standing or squating over a basin of oil."\\ 
 +[20:16] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (acerak is an indian mom?)\\ 
 +[20:16] * [[characters:Terres]] holds up one of the cubes and asks: "Are the statues looking anything like those ont he cubes?"\\ 
 +[20:16] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (might as well turn around now, she's gonna make us do homework)\\ 
 +[20:16] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] shrugs "no idea, i didn't look that closely."\\ 
 +[20:16] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> (Homework? Screw it -- let the world burn!)\\ 
 +[20:17] <@Ash-> "That seems a more likely place than putting them right out in the open.  Each statue may relate to each temple we visited."\\ 
 +[20:17] * [[character:Dylan]] heads to the tunnel which was covered in vegetation\\ 
 +[20:17] * [[characters:Terres]] follows hoping to find more inscriptions\\ 
 +[20:18] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (the withered creepers)\\ 
 +[20:18] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "you know, voice in my head, now would be some really good time for some insight."\\ 
 +[20:19] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> [[characters:Terres]] -- no more inscriptions)\\ 
 +[20:19] <{{:campaigns:stota:dmicon-small.png?nolink&25|}}[[players:harlquin_j_goat|DM_ToA]]> [[character:Dylan]]...\\
