Current Actions Summary:
63 - Genocide2099 - Fish - Half Orc Berserker
I'll go with the group that'll go through the blue portal. I also agree to have it scouted first.
4 - sasuke12 - Strigon - Drow Necromancer
I Strigon, drow necromancer, vote for throwing a bone or something at the red brick after all of us are away at least a safe distance. Maybe the brick will explode and reveal a portal that can allow the friendly dragon into the tunnel or reveal a room full of treasure.
I Strigon see a small figure glide at a distance in one of the paintings. But I decide to stay in the left room with the rest of the group.
58 - FlockeSchnee - Tanea - Halfling Shaman
1.Tanea asks Peloquin (holding the "Bridge painting") and Roy (holding the "Trees and Grass" painting) for the paintings so she can try to correct her mistake.
In any case (if she gets the desired "Trees and Grass" painting or not), she will wait outside the left room, in hopes of finding out about that mysterious single red brick where the burned picture hang.
She will also have the only spell, that might be useful to those venturing through the portal, ready to cast, when departure accures (NOT this dice roll phase, seeing how we might take a phase more for that).
2."I don't mind waiting. I understand Roy's and your desire to get more information on the paintings first. I, too, believe it would be wise to try and get more insight on them first. Also, I want to know about that red brick too. Unfortunatly I know of nothing that would help us with that."
And with that I also move to the side of the door (I'm still outside of the left room), in the direction of the main chamber, keeping an ear out for sounds coming from down there, keeping "Calm Animals"ready, just in case. Wondering what will be revealed in the left room, if anything will.
25 - BenKii - BenKii - Human Warrior
1.In case Tanea isn't able to retrieve one or either painting, I will ask Roy and Peloquin for the paintings. If neither act or respond to me then I will gently take the paintings from their hands and say "Hey guys. I need to borrow these for a sec.". In the case of Roy, I will leave a piece of human flesh that I took from the Hag's room in his hands and tell him "Now don't eat it all in one go. Save some for later." I then press the two paintings together (front side up against front side) and proceed to follow Tanea back to the Central Chamber while avoiding the Acid Trap laid earlier. I keep a keen eye out for where the rats are.
2. If I fail to acquire both paintings, I move to the side of the left room doorway just behind Tanea waiting for Roy to be done looking at the Meadow painting.
67 - Testor0 - Rufus - Human Cleric
In a row, Rufus casts Globe of Protection, Fire weapon on his Returning Silver Light-Hammer and Divine Retaliation".
He concentrates to cast new spells if required later.
As a prayer to the Gods:, Rufus yells "Enlight our way... TO THE INFINITE" and he goes through the portal.
Finally, Shield and Light-Hammer in hands he observes where he has arrived. If there is a threat on that plane/place, Rufus casts Ring of Swords, and Silence to block magic power from any creature.
68 - matterbandit - Peloquin - Dwarven Thief
As I stood there, just outside of the left room, with the desolate mountain pass painting in my hands, thinking where to go from here... Human Warrior, BenKii, steals the painting from my grasp! Steals from a dwarven thief!! And he robbed me with such kind gentleness, as if it were me generously gifting him with my possession! ...Now, most who have stolen from me have had their throats carved open with my Lucky Dagger. But I allow this human warrior do his thing. Through no fault of his, I am wiser than this short-lived human and easily seven times his age. My grandfather once told me, "You take the time to get to trust a human, and by then the human’s already on his deathbed." I do admire his human dedication of getting into trouble.
I am distracted by Rufus the Human Cleric, who walks past me without a single word and decide to follow him beyond the right door. Before I could ask him where he was heading, I noticed several eyes in the room, all glued to what looked like a Blue Portal on the wall. My guess is that no one dared enter it yet. But, my previous encounter with Benkii had me all pumped for battle and adventure! I prepare my Light Hammer and rely on my Ring Of Free Movement to protect me from any traps that may await us beyond the portal. As Rufus has allowed me within his Globe Of Protection in the past, I took it upon myself to follow him closely and help disarm any trap that may manifest before us. Into the portal I go!
57 - ConsulCaesar - Siegfried - Human Paladin
If nobody has explored the portal before it's my turn to act, I throw a bone at it just not see it doesn't explode. I cross the portal with my silver sword in my hand, ready to fight any threats hiding on the other side.
45 - phaolo - Loradan - Elven Mage
He recast his 2 protection spells, then he run to the left room and reported to the other group what had just happened.
"I'll have to help those fools, what are you going to do instead?"
Also, if they managed to remove the red brick, he asked about what they found.
If not, he cast Dispel Ward, removed it himself and took\interact with what was behind it.
Finally, he returned to the right room and prepared to enter the portal.
40 - Pouyou-pouyou - Gilius - Dwarven Druid
After having "opened" the portal in the right room, Gilius comes back and enters the left room to check the situation. He looks at the others who spotted the red brick and waits for them to check it.
Then if nothing important happens, he goes back to the right room, and casts Barkskin on himself and prepares to go through the portal, otherwise, he stays in the left room to ensure that nobody is in danger.
38 - ZyloxDragon - Roy Jenks - Half-Orc Battemage
To Tanea: "Wait little one. I'm trying to see how this works."
To Fish: "It may be a way out of this dungeon, and to our home. It may be just another dimension. It would be prudent to be more thorough."
To BenKii: Emphatic "NO!", as the recent memory of how the fight with the hag started.
Roy will take some item from the ground (be it rock, bone, cloth, etc), and lay it over the picture in the frame to see if it goes thru. If nothing happens, then he'll see if his hand will go through, being careful not to rip/tear it. (Not sure if my Reflect Spells is still active, or if it would impede in any way).
It's also possible that the scene of the picture has some sort of illusion spell hiding what the place/objects really are. That would suck if I get dragged into one of the planes of the Abyss.
74 - runnerex - Yeenwi - Drow Necromancer
Yeenwi says to everyone in the left room and to Tanea and BenKii:
"The paintings were put in the room for a reason, along with what's behind (or is) the red brick. There might be some interactions possible between them. I'd really like to find that out, so please don't hurry and try to go to Lloth knows where with those paintings for now, at least."
"I also support the idea of throwing something at the red brick. Can anyone cast Disarm Traps or anything similar? If no one can cast or if there is no effect, I encourage everyone to get out of the room. Then I'll position myself on the door frame and I'll shoot a poison dart (because it's small and light) at the red brick to see what happens. If there is still no effect, then I'd shoot a magic missile from my wand (in both cases after shooting, I'd quickly get to cover behind the wall next to the door)."
