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

[Chris1234]

Jerry replies, "I would be delighted to be able to do that but frankly cursed items are beyond my current ability to deal with. And moving the stone could be a significant task. The link between it and Tarlyn might have a harmful effect on her before moving the stone is completed. Unless there's a raeson that we shouldn't it seems easier and quicker to move her away from the block to see if distance from it weakens the effect."

As an afterthought, obvious like most things in hindsight, she asks, "Merrick, can you do Dispel Magic on that link? It might work.. Unless you've any better ideas?"

Adran speaks up after his failed attempt to free Pyros from the thorns, I will assist in moving the stone....

[TristenC]

Only the dull ache now comes from the bracelet, no other sensation or activity. Jerry examines it, but the apparently unnatural thing bears no resemblance or reference to her herbalism training. Merric nods at the suggeastion, Yes it's possible Dispelling magic could have some effect on it... pity I don't have that ability. Serath may have it in his shop, however. I would expect curse removal to be more likely to be successful, however. He looks toto Elsa who nods.

I can do that, but i haven't prepared that prayer today. And like the prayer for shaping Stone, I can only do one or the other each day.

They're attempting to move the stone please describe how

[Chris1234]

Jerry shakes her head, "This thorny bracelet is beyond my knowledge," and then listens to Merrick and Elsa and echoes Elsa's nod.. "Well we don't have to decide just yet. Perhaps the knights will be able to break the stone. But first I'd like to consider moving Tarlyn further away from the stone. If distance weakens the stone's effect that that might be our answer. But as with such things, the opposite might be true. Elsa, do you have an Augury available to tell if such a move further away is likely weal? Or woe?"

[TristenC]

Elsa shakes her head, I don't have any divinations prepared for today. Just healing and combat spells...

[Nocturno]

Pyros with his new accessory walks up to the stone and tries to lift it!

[Chris1234]

Jerry just stares almost unbelieving at Pyros.

The Mystran she shakes her head and says, "Well, let's be seeing about getting Tarlyn safely down the ledge." She smiles at Tarlyn while talking and rubs her arm comfortingly. Looking at Elsa she adds, "Oh yes, would you tell her that, please? See if that gives her any concerns."

[Jenara]

"We could discuss this for hours." She slips into Harmonian, "Tarlyn, are you able to climb? Theres a way out of here, and I think we need to get you away from this. I won't lie, this is dark magic beyond anything I can do, I can but try. Hold onto me and I'll help you move away." With her arm wrapped around the girls waist she begins to depart, "If you feel any pain, tell me."

(Mira is fed up talking...)

[Jerrard]

Seeing that he can do little with the stone Karl turns his attention to the Kender, "Foul magic, most foul. This place is a nightmare, one could loose all hope." Yet he smiles at the Kender, "Miss Elsa will free you, of that I am certain, She is most powerful."

[TristenC]

[Tarlyn has indicated she understands Elven, which i think all of the PCs and NPCs also speak (except maybe Pytor?]

Pyros rubs his hands together, feeling the pulse from his own body through the thorny bracelet. With an overly serious face, almost comical on one so youthful, he approaches the stone. Taking a position near the slab, he squats and digs his fingers under the area where some mortar has been scraped away. With a roar he lifts with all of his might!!1! Muscles cord out like cables, but the stone doesn't budge in the slightest.

Jerry again recommeds they try to move Tarlyn away, and Elsa nods and watches the trail of mist as Mira leads the woman on to the cliff. Artanis moves to the cliff as well to assist. Tarlyn thanks the Bard in Harmonian as well, Anything that will take me from this horrid place. With their aid, the woman makes it down the steep wall. The misty trail seems to thin slightly, but maintains contact...

Pyros bblg [1d100]=72, fail

[Chris1234]

Jerry flashes a smile to Merrick and points downwards before she tries to lower herself down to join Tarlyn, Mira and Elsa.

[Jenara]

"I promise we will get you out of here, can you use a weapon? A dagger? I have a spare if it would make you feel safer." Mira keeps chatting, keeping her voice light "Have you been to the The Wayfarer’s Rest? I have a spot there, its really nice." Explaining she leads her away, making sure at least one arm is around the girl while the other holds a weapon.

[Jerrard]

"A Brave attempt Master Pyros, if sheer force of will would have broken it, I feel it would be smashed by now." His eyes going to the thorn bracelet he pats the Kenders back. "I must go ahead and take the fore, Honor demands I do so." And with that he leaves the chamber, descending as fast as he is able.

[Nocturno]

Pyros will search his pockets for anything that may make a dent in the stone. If nothing makes itself evident, he will start swinging his hoopak through the mist trail randomly as he walks.

[thawizkid]

Adran will offer up his rope again if the group can use it in the movement of the stone....
