Act 2 Scene 5: "Cavern of the Crown of Souls" (Game Thread)

[Jenara]

What sort of noise did it make? Stone on stone or something more muted?

[TristenC]

[Yeah, stone skittering over stone]

[Jenara]

(she'll leave Pyros to head down and take a look. She doesn't want to get too far away from the others)

[Chris1234]

Jerry tries to shuffle up and see what's going on and whether she can help.

[TristenC]

=====
Jen
Right now she is about 60 feet away fro, the others down a natural corridor that is not straight. By 'head down and take a look' Is Mira proceeding into the narrow tunnel?

Chris
does that mean Jerry is sliding down the rope to the other bridge and then walking off one way or another? Since Mira is invisible, I'm not sure Jerry would know which way she went

[Chris1234]

Ah ok, just stays at the top of the rope then, mace ready in case Turning ends.

[Nocturno]

Meanwhile in the Kender's head circus music plays.

He will head down, checking out 13 first. Checking for any doors that may be hidden. He will have given Mira a 30 count before heading down.

[TristenC]

Ah ok, just stays at the top of the rope then, mace ready in case Turning ends.

[Jerry can still go down and look around if you'd like, they just don't know where Mira is unless she says something to the party. Same goes for Pyros, but given Jen's other message let's assume she asked someone to look at the first dead end]

Pyros (and jerry?) Descend and head off to the North (towards #13, the map compass is turned odly on this dungeon). A search of the area turns up nothing but natural cave walls

[Nocturno]

With the hooked hallway checked, and being utterly boring. He moves on.
Wandering keeping to his right if a path presents itself.

Every 30 seconds, "If you are near Red lady, tap me on the shoulder."

[Chris1234]

Jerry goes to try and help. Directed by Mira she seraches for doors, first passively then actively.

[TristenC]

A passive walk-by from Jerry and Pyros doesn't reveal anything but they do eventually come to the opening near the floor that mist pours through...

=====
Active searching for secret doors is 10 mins for 20 ft of wall, so there are hundreds of feet of perimeter to search on the side with many splits which would take hours. Are there specific places they want to look?

[Chris1234]

Jerry casts a couple of divination cantrips to autosearch for secret doors, 20' to the left and right of the opening through which mist pours (unless Mira directs elsewhere in which case jerry complies).
"Show to me the doorway hidden as by my will you have been bidden."
"I hate feeling cramped, like in a box. So reveal to me ways hidden by the rock(s)."

IWhile the cantrips are running, if Pyros or Mira are wounded, Jerry will use a CLW on whoever is the more poorly.
She then tries an inate use of Detect Magic and wanders round the area looking for anything that isn't her cantrisps nor Mira's Invisibility and not carried by the adventurers.

======
OOC: Does NWP Observation (19) help with both the previous seraching/spotting and also the cantrips' work?

[Jenara]

(No I meant she was going to go back to the rope and let Pyros know where she is.)

"Pyros, I'm down here!" She shouts, "Tell Sir Karl."

[Nocturno]

"SHE'SALIVE!" He yells up as he makes his way to her voice.

[TristenC]

[well, the description says the cantrip usage is at the character's normal chances so sure we can say it applies. Pyros was very recently injured by the skeleton, as was sir Karl. Mira is uninjured at the moment.]

Mira calls out to Pyros, who shouts to the others above that she is alive. He and Jerry then move to the crawl space where the mist pours down. Jerry sets off a couple of cantrips to search along the left and right side o the space but they detect nothing. She then scans the hall and passage for anything magical but nothing shows up except Pyros' new thorny bracelet, her own weapon and the cantrips.


====
Jerry search cantrips nwp [1d20]=2, [1d20]=2,
First at normal odds, 2nd at -1 for being over her normal daily usage. both cantrips are successfully cast

Jerry uses her ability Detect Magic

(she'll leave Pyros to head down and take a look. She doesn't want to get too far away from the others)

If Mira is climbing down the passage, lets get a climb check at -45. The walls are smooth and well-oiled. She can detect this at first touch before committing to climbing down
