| | [20:13] <Harlequin_J_Goat> When last we left our wanderlusting adventurers -- having plumbed the depths of the Tomb of the Dead Nine...our group stands at the last great puzzle -- a great jade door with several keyholes. Questioning the stitchwork dolls left by the Sewn Sisters, they must brave several challenges to open the key holes. Can the group summon the courage to surmount the puzzles? Let's enter the Tomb of \\ |
| | [20:13] <Harlequin_J_Goat> Annihiliation and see. Our episode begins now!\\ |
| | [20:13] * Tolman is now known as [[characters:Stolanimus]]\\ |

| | [20:14] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (can i look around the room to see if I see anything before we retreat to that passage?)\\ |
| | [20:14] <ToA_DM> (Sure...)\\ |
| | [20:14] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (just look around to see if I see anything we might need, keys, locks books)\\ |
| | [20:15] <ToA_DM> (roll investigation)\\ |
| | [20:16] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> (you know... we've missed sooooo much content in this dungeon. like the nine dead gods...)\\ |
| | [20:16] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> 1d20+5\\ |

| | [20:16] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (didnt we use those cubes to get in?)\\ |
| | [20:18] <ToA_DM> (Dy;an -- you don't see anything that strikes you as useful)\\ |
| | [20:18] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (we did miss a lot of content in the dungeon, do you wanna backtrack and spend another 4 months in the Temple?)\\ |
| | [20:19] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "so what are we going to do now?"\\ |
| | [20:19] <ToA_DM> (You know he was paid by hte word. Levels 2-5 are just filler, really)\\ |
| | [20:19] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (well after we kill the big bad, we can renovate this place into an Inn)\\ |
| | [20:19] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (he was a real chuck dickens)\\ |
| | [20:19] * [[character:Dylan]] looks around\\ |
| | [20:19] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Soo..."\\ |
| | [20:20] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "What's the plan here?"\\ |
| | [20:20] <ToA_DM> (A themed restaurant?)\\ |
| | [20:20] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> "How do we know the three sisters cant track those dolls if we take them with us?"\\ |
| | [20:20] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "and why did we pick up the dolls?"\\ |
| | [20:20] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> (am i still wearing the mind ring?)\\ |
| | [20:20] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Why did we retreat here again?"\\ |
| | [20:20] <ToA_DM> (yes)\\ |
| | [20:21] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> (k)\\ |
| | [20:21] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]]> �Strawberry here says he has been trapped.�\\ |
| | [20:21] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "How is this any of this addressing my lack of attire?"\\ |
| | [20:22] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (how lacking are you?)\\ |
| | [20:22] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "strawberry?! trapped? and we trust them?"\\ |
| | [20:22] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "That, and I should say, all of my equipment..."\\ |
| | [20:22] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> (she has a coat)\\ |
| | [20:22] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> (100% OF MY NON-MAGIC EQUIPMENT WAS DESTROYED SAD FACE)\\ |
| | [20:22] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (just a coat?)\\ |
| | [20:23] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> (Including my clothes. I was lent a coat.)\\ |
| | [20:23] <@Ash-> (I have her pants)\\ |
| | [20:23] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "that reminds me..." hands kayalia three daggers.\\ |
| | [20:23] <@Ash-> (Or somebody's pants)\\ |
| | [20:23] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "Hm?"\\ |
| | [20:23] * [[characters:Kayalia]] has two (magic) daggers in the coat pockets.\\ |
| | [20:23] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "For throwing?"\\ |
| | [20:24] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "they can be, but if you don't want them" *puts them back where she stored them*\\ |
| | [20:24] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "Dear me. I am not sure why you offered if you were just going to stow them immediately."\\ |
| | [20:24] <ToA_DM> The straw doll points to the doors on the balcony. "Through those doors are the trials. I've seen others go in...sometimes come out."\\ |
| | [20:25] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "you didn't seem like you wanted them! and if you are gonna be snippy about stuff..." lets the last of the statement drop and moves away from the group by a few feet.\\ |
| | [20:25] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> "Who are those others?"\\ |
| | [20:26] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (can we get a map of the room we were just in?)\\ |
| | [20:26] * [[characters:Kayalia]] grimaces at the implication that they sometimes do not come out. "I am sure I have no idea what you're talking about. Asking for confirmatiom why you were offering them to me seemed sensible enough."\\ |
| | [20:26] <@Ash-> "What trials?"\\ |
| | [20:26] <ToA_DM> (getting it now)\\ |
| | [20:26] * [[characters:Kayalia]] shakes her head and continues to stand with crossed arms, keeping the coat closed off for the moment.\\ |
| | [20:27] <ToA_DM> (https://imgur.com/ZvigHqX)\\ |
| | [20:28] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Oh I think I have a spare shirt"\\ |
| | [20:28] * [[character:Dylan]] rummages around and finds a shirt and gives it to [[characters:Kayalia]]\\ |
| | [20:29] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "You have my gratitude, [[character:Dylan]] She pauses, making sure [[character:Dylan]] isn't going to stow the shirt immediately after offering it before accepting it.\\ |
| | [20:30] * [[character:Dylan]] hands her the shirt as he looks back to the room\\ |
| | [20:30] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "It might be a little big"\\ |
| | [20:31] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "if that's the case she can wear it like a dress."\\ |
| | [20:31] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]] looks at the doll, �Thanks, my small friend."\\ |
| | [20:31] * [[character:Dylan]] walks towards the south of the room\\ |
| | [20:31] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (is that a door to the south?)\\ |
| | [20:31] <ToA_DM> (Yes, that's the skeleton door)\\ |
| | [20:32] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (did you manage to open it?)\\ |
| | [20:32] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "Generous indeed! I should merely take care with any feats of acrobatics of course..."\\ |
| | [20:32] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (we came from the north?)\\ |
| | [20:32] <ToA_DM> (yes)\\ |
| | [20:32] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (you opened the skeleton door? or yes they came from the north?)\\ |
| | [20:32] * Lady_Dolphin (janet@sorcery-g4lear.ca.charter.com) has joined #grovewood\\ |

| | [20:32] <Lady_Dolphin> (Hey!)\\ |
| | [20:32] <@Ash-> (Hey LD)\\ |
| | [20:35] <ToA_DM> (Yes, they came from the north)\\ |
| | [20:35] * [[character:Dylan]] inspects the southern skeleton door\\ |
| | [20:36] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] begins to head for one of the doors on the balcony.\\ |
| | [20:38] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (didnt we have this intricate plan to retreat from this room fro some reason or did we scrap that?)\\ |
| | [20:38] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Hey Kay... Can you look at this door for me?"\\ |
| | [20:38] <ToA_DM> (I don't know)\\ |
| | [20:38] <@Ash-> (We did, it got derailed)\\ |
| | [20:38] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "Hm..? What can I do for you here..?" Kaya approaches.\\ |
| | [20:38] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] walks up to a door and tries to open it.\\ |
| | [20:39] <ToA_DM> (opens up quite well)\\ |
| | [20:39] * [[characters:Kayalia]] looks over the southern skeleton door that [[character:Dylan]] asked her to look at.\\ |
| | [20:39] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (is that the skeleton door that miri opened?)\\ |
| | [20:40] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> (no)\\ |
| | [20:40] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] makes sure her sword is lit and pulls the door open further, her eyes landing on something, her jaw dropping a little.\\ |
| | [20:41] * [[characters:Terres]] goes after [[character:Miri]] keepign safe distance from the door she opened\\ |
| | [20:41] * [[characters:Kayalia]] traces a finger over one of the symbols on the door. "I wonder if these serve a function, or just act as a guide to the other doors above."\\ |
| | [20:41] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "well this has to be a trick seven ways to sunday"\\ |
| | [20:42] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> "Whats in there?"\\ |
| | [20:42] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "light and a lever"\\ |
| | [20:42] <@Ash-> "What do you see?"\\ |
| | [20:42] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> A five-foot-wide, floor-to-ceiling glass cylinder near the back wall of this room is filled with light, the source of which is not apparent. A tiny triangular hole is cut through the glass, five feet above the floor. Inside the cylinder, an iron lever is set into a metal plate on the floor.\\ |
| | [20:42] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> (pretend i said all that)\\ |
| | [20:42] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> (i forgot to put in " marks)\\ |
| | [20:43] <ToA_DM> (LOL)\\ |
| | [20:44] <ToA_DM> (brb -- talk amongst yourselves)\\ |
| | [20:44] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (so i could try to flip the lever using mage hand)\\ |
| | [20:44] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (but somehow i think that would be a bad idea)\\ |
| | [20:44] * [[character:Dylan]] walks over to where [[character:Miri]] is and looks\\ |
| | [20:44] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "i think it's a puzzle we need to solve. i'm just really not sure how to do that."\\ |
| | [20:45] * [[characters:Kayalia]] checks if the carved pieces are affixed or if they can be removed. From the big green door.\\ |
| | [20:45] * [[character:Dylan]] looks\\ |
| | [20:45] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Do you think we need to pull that lever?"\\ |
| | [20:46] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> "What other purpose would a lever have"\\ |
| | [20:46] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Stolanimus]]> (ok, I�m afk half an hour picking up a kid)\\ |
| | [20:46] <@Ash-> "To trick people into pulling it."\\ |
| | [20:46] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "I swear one of you had a majick of sorts that could do something like push or pull things far away?"\\ |
| | [20:46] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] pulls out one of the weird skulls they found in the earlier levels "do we think maybe one of these may fit that triangle?"\\ |
| | [20:47] <ToA_DM> (yep)\\ |
| | [20:47] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "The lever might be to open the door?"\\ |
| | [20:47] <ToA_DM> (ok, Stol)\\ |
| | [20:47] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> (yep to what?)\\ |
| | [20:47] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (so its just a glas cylinder, with "TINY" triangular hole and lever at the botom inside)\\ |
| | [20:47] <ToA_DM> (yes)\\ |
| | [20:47] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "and i dont think we should touch the lever, not yet anyway."\\ |
| | [20:48] * [[characters:Terres]] looks at the Skulls [[character:Miri]] was collecting\\ |
| | [20:48] * [[characters:Kayalia]] doesn't find anything interesting with the symbols on the door, it would seem.\\ |
| | [20:48] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (can i figure out where the light is coming from?)\\ |
| | [20:49] <ToA_DM> (light spell, it looks like...)\\ |
| | [20:49] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "I think we should try pulling that lever"\\ |
| | [20:49] <ToA_DM> As [[characters:Stolanimus]] looks at the glass...\\ |
| | [20:49] * [[characters:Kayalia]] looks about, up at the the galleria floor, noting the doors, their distinguishing features, whatever.\\ |
| | [20:50] <ToA_DM> ... he turns and looks at the doll. "Really?"\\ |
| | [20:50] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] backs up a few feet and looks at Stol "what is it?"\\ |
| | [20:50] * [[character:Dylan]] waits to hear what Stol gleaned from the Doll\\ |
| | [20:50] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] puts the skulls back in her bag for now.\\ |
| | [20:51] * Ash- waits by the way they came in with the other two dolls.\\ |
| | [20:51] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> (Which door did [[character:Miri]] go in? was it the triangle door?)\\ |
| | [20:51] <ToA_DM> [[characters:Stolanimus]] puts the doll on his shoulder. He takes a deep breath. "All right -- do it."\\ |
| | [20:51] <ToA_DM> (yes)\\ |
| | [20:51] <ToA_DM> The dolls says something and...\\ |
| | [20:51] <ToA_DM> [[characters:Stolanimus]] disappears.\\ |
| | [20:51] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "Ah...?"\\ |
| | [20:52] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "shit...i knew those dolls weren't any good."\\ |
| | [20:52] <ToA_DM> You see the level shake...then flip up.\\ |
| | [20:52] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> (???)\\ |
| | [20:52] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (or we can just let Stol do it)\\ |
| | [20:52] * Ash- looks at his two dolls.\\ |
| | [20:52] <ToA_DM> [[character:Dylan]] you see the golden panel roll aside, exposing a triangular shaped indention.\\ |
| | [20:52] <@Ash-> "Where did he just go?"\\ |
| | [20:53] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "Oh It looks like we are on the right track"\\ |
| | [20:53] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> (golden panel...?)\\ |
| | [20:53] <ToA_DM> [[characters:Stolanimus]] reappears next to the crystal dome. "That was...well...interesting.:\\ |
| | [20:53] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "Do tell."\\ |
| | [20:53] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> "what happened?"\\ |
| | [20:54] * [[character:Dylan]] points at the Skeleton door\\ |
| | [20:54] * [[characters:Terres]] looks at the door [[character:Dylan]] is pointing\\ |
| | [20:54] <ToA_DM> "I went to the...what the doll calls The Border Etheral. There, I could push my hand through the glass and flip the lever."\\ |
| | [20:54] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> "He flipped the switch and it exposed a triangular indentation, I think we need to do these trials"\\ |
| | [20:54] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] moves to the skeleton door and examines the indentation that was revealed"\\ |
| | [20:55] * [[character:Dylan]] exits and goes over to the next door that was south of the room they are in\\ |
| | [20:55] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Kayalia]]> "That is well and good, but just how did you do it?"\\ |
| | [20:55] {{:campaigns:stota:action.png?nolink&25|*}} {{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]] finds the skull with the triangle on it and tries it in the indent.\\ |
| | [20:56] <ToA_DM> The skul sinks in with a click.\\ |
| | [20:57] <ToA_DM> [[characters:Stolanimus]] points to hte straw doll. "It -- she...she has a charm that allows me to step into the Border Etheral two more times."\\ |
| | [20:57] * [[characters:Kayalia]] finds somewhere to sit to let everyone solve this with their skulls and such that she didn't even know they had.\\ |

| | [20:58] <{{:campaigns:stota:playericon.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> "Onto the next door"\\ |

| | [20:58] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (next one should ber square right?)\\ |
| | [20:58] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Miri]]> (yes)\\ |
| | [21:00] <ToA_DM> (Let's do this. Clockwise from the the door you started: 1,2,3,4,5 -- the one to the south would be door 5. the one below that would be 4)\\ |
| | [21:00] <ToA_DM> (The square door would be 2)\\ |
| | [21:00] * [[characters:Terres]] goes to the door marked with a square and tries to open it\\ |
| | [21:01] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[character:Dylan]]> (so the stairs is one, the door we just did is two, that would mean we are going to 3?)\\ |
| | [21:02] <ToA_DM> (The one you did is 1. The square one is 2)\\ |
| | [21:02] <ToA_DM> [[characters:Terres]] opens the door marked with a square...\\ |
| | [21:02] <ToA_DM> This room is filled with flying sheets of parchment, with writing on the pages visible as they flutter by. A metal plate bolted onto the far wall is set with a ghostly lever.\\ |
| | [21:02] <{{:campaigns:stota:ooc.png?nolink&25|}}[[characters:Terres]]> (and i peak in expecting another pizzle or a fireball to the face)\\ |
| | [21:03] <ToA_DM> (you get a paper cut across the upper lip instead)\\ |
| | [21:03] * [[characters:Terres]] casts mage hand and tries to catch one of the sheets with it\\ |
| | [21:03] <ToA_DM> (ok)\\ |
| | [21:04] <ToA_DM> (give me a Dex check -- DC 10)\\ |

| | [21:05] <ToA_DM> Your mage hand goes through it as if it were not there.\\ |
