The Heart of Darkness... [Main Game Thread]

[counterkid]

"I see a tunnel about 3 feet in diameter running about 25 feet before it turns right."
"We should investigate the other spheres before we make a decision of going down this passage.

[BishGada]

Galan quietly agrees they should investigate more spheres, and waits until they do.

[counterkid]

OCC: I'm I reading this correctly?
Left side of hall: Gold held high above head is the entrance we can through?
Right side of hall: Black at feet is the illusion with a passage going 25 feet and turning right?

Zafron says" If we follow the riddle we should investigate the Red Sphere on the right hall wall held at waist." Zafron and Tabbi move forward. This time Zafron will pock the sphere with a javelin that Tabbi hands him. What happens?

Left side of hall:
GOLD held high above head'
ORANGE held waist high
Door
PURPLE at feet
Door
BRONZE held waist high
GRAY at shoulder
BRIGHT BLUE at feet
WHITE held high above head
TURQUOISE at shoulder
SCARLET held waist high
PALE GREEN at feet


Right side of the Hall:
PALE BLUE at shoulder
SILVER at feet
blank section of wall
GREEN held high above head

CERERAK CONGRATULATES YOU ON YOUR POWERS OF OBSERVATION.
SO MAKE OF THIS WHATEVER YOU WISH,
FOR YOU WILL BE MINE IN THE END NO MATTER WHAT!

Go back to the tormentor or through the arch,
and the second great hall you'll discover.
Shun green if you can. but night's good color
is for those of great valor.
If shades of red stand for blood the wise
will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of
magical metal - you're well along your march.

Two pits along the way will be found to lead
to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall.
These keys and those are most important of all,
and beware of trembling hands and what will maul.
If you find the false you find the true
and into the columned hall you'll come,
and there the throne that's key and keyed.

The iron men of visage grim do more than
meet the viewer's eye.
You've left and left and found my Tomb
and now your soul will die.

[Squirrellord]

Bryce lifts a 10 foot pole by the end and walks towards the colored circles. "Let me know which one you want me to give a pole."
If directed by a member of the party attempting to puzzle out the riddle, he will lift the pole at arm's length and poke the circle directed to.

[BishGada]

Galan watches the process.

[TristenC]

[yes, Gold is an illusion ad the way the party entered the hall. Black is illusion and a path seemingly out, and red...]

Zafron pokes the red circle that stands not far from the black. His javelin passes through effortlessly as if it were also merely illusion.

[counterkid]

"Looks like we have another illusion." Zafron puts his hand through to see what is on the other side.

[BishGada]

"Many entries. Let's start with the black ones. The Red might require some 'magical steel'. We need to mark the entrances we try. We might find ourselves here again." Galan suggests.

[Nocturno]

Van pulls one of his chalks out, and whistles.

If either brother looks to him he will toss the piece of chalk to them.

[TristenC]

The tunnel behind the red sphere is similar to the one behind the black, except that it runs 35 feet before turning right

[BishGada]

Galan searches for figures with 'trembling hands' or 'mauls'.

[counterkid]

Zafron will proceed with using his 10`pole to pock every sphere one at a time starting with the Orange left side one. He will continue poking all the left spheres. If nothing happens he will move to the right spheres and do the same.

Left side of hall:
GOLD held high above head'
ORANGE held waist high
Door
PURPLE at feet
Door
BRONZE held waist high
GRAY at shoulder
BRIGHT BLUE at feet
WHITE held high above head
TURQUOISE at shoulder
SCARLET held waist high
PALE GREEN at feet


Right side of the Hall:
PALE BLUE at shoulder
SILVER at feet
blank section of wall
GREEN held high above head
YELLOW at shoulder
PINK held high above head
BLACK at feet
PALE VIOLET at shoulder
RED held waist high
BUFF at feet

[TristenC]

Zafron checks the remaining spheres, but no others prove anything but stone.

======================================
(OOC:
Are there figures with trembling hands or mauls?)

[counterkid]

"Bryce can you and Tabbi verify if you can find any traps on the two doors?"
