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

[BishGada]

Galan looks at the team a little bit puzzled, "Leaving so soon? Don't you want to investigate the altar or the portal?"
Faladair glares at Galan, "Finally we found some wise partners, don't ruin it with your *investigations*".
Galan smiles at the sting but charismatically insists, "Guys, let's plan our steps forward. We can't leave any challenge we meet. Do you plan to return here?"

[Nocturno]

"Yes we will return. Bryce wants us in the hallway while the Altar is glowing that odd colour."

[Squirrellord]

"Aye, give it a minute and I'll check and see if there is a change. Not sure how much I'll like getting another tickle like that again."

The group crams themselves back into the narrow crawlspace and waits a couple of minutes. Nothing in the room seems to change

[Time is 4:50 pm Day 1
Galan's Bardic Inspiration will end at 5:06 pm Day 1

I can track the treasure in the Roster thread if you like

[Nocturno]

"Let's see if I can muster a bit more favour on this."
Van casts Cure Moderate Wounds again on Bryce.

Cure Moderate Wounds: [1d10+1] = 1+1 = 2

"My connection to Silverbeard must be getting clouded in this evil place."

=====================
WTF USS!

[counterkid]

Tristen, if you can track the treasure that would be great.

The ground around the pew is fine. The pew seat does not have a locking mechanism and can be easily lifted.

Bryce continues to the other side of the railing. starting on the West side of the room near the portal. The Portal roils with orange mist, though the stones do not glow as he moves near. From proximity he can tell that the skeleton is human, and the black chainmail is tarnished beyond usefulness. nothing else about it seems noteworthy aside from the position of the body with one arm outstretched towards the portal.

Continuing around the area he passes the candle-stands, stoppered urns, the padded chair and the faintly glowing altar. The walls and floor reveal no secrets until he moves to the eastern section beyond the rail. There Bryce discovers a small slot with a letter "O" faintly traced above it on the wall itself.

I think I missed this post. Where exactly on the map where did Bryce find the small slot with a letter "O"?

[On the SouthEast section wall directly opposite the archway with orange mists]

[Squirrellord]

After a good 5 minutes or more of likely fending off at least one impatient brother, Bryce will head back into the room keeping to the back until he can get a visual on the alter. He'd like to know if there has been any change in colour since it started glowing

[TristenC]

The appearance of the altar has not changed since the group moved back into the hallway, it continues to glow a fiery blue-red

[Nocturno]

Van will cast a Cure Moderate Wounds on himself and Sorril in the 5 minutes.

Heal for Van
Cure Moderate Wounds: [1d10+1] = 1+1 = 2
Yet another 1...

Heal for Sorril
Cure Moderate Wounds: [1d10+1] = 5+1 = 6
Broke the streak!

[counterkid]

When the room is clear Tabbi wants to check out the SouthEast section wall directly opposite the archway with orange mists. She wants to investigate the slot with the O.

[TristenC]

Vangram distributes some healing; undoing a small amount of the damage from the altar. Though it still glows oddly, it seems to pose no additional obvious hazard.

Tabbi inspects the slot near the O engraving. it is no more than a half-inch tall and only an inch or two wide. The area nearby seems to hold no hidden secrets so far as she can tell... [is there something specific she is looking for?]

[BishGada]

"What did you do to trigger the lightning last time?" Galan asks.

[counterkid]

Can a coin be put in the slot?

Does the O engraving remind her of anything familiar?
