Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice IC
"That thing has quite a bit of magic if we felt it outside of this door," Anna remarked as she took the ring and gave it a closer examination. She recast the detect magic and held it on the item for a bit longer, identifying the auras and what it was supposed to do.
"I don't know what it does. Anybody else?"
Spoiler: OOC rolls
I need to roll a spellcraft for the ring (Attempting to ascertain the properties of a magic item takes 3 rounds per item to be identified and you must be able to thoroughly examine the object.)
DC 15+spell level
roll: (1d20+5)[15]
EDIT: a 15 isn't enough for sure.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice IC
After playing rear-guard to no effect for some time, Elissa peers into the snow-covered room with obvious curiosity. "What a strange place. You would think an inner room would be better protected." She turns back to her self-imposed duty, contemplating the poor dead man's frozen foot once more.
Spoiler: OOCI'd like to explicitly ask if we *can* travel north of AA/29. My impression was that that doorway was fully blocked over, including the corpse of an ally.

"Well, I guess that concludes this part of the complex," Bruno said, "time to head to the next part that we haven't checked out yet."

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice IC
Freyja Skirlaug
Freyja steps through the small chambers and out into the broad courtyard once more. Now, free of the savage haunt. She gestures with her spear towards the western corridor and the doors that lie that way. She waits for the others, "Shall we sweep the western side of this place". Whilst she glances at the ring she is not the most knowledgeable on magics so asks nothing about it

Signun eyes up the ring with clear avarice. "Nice shiny one there, plenty of hacksilver in that one." and at the pile of other trinkets he offers a wry "I feel we should be sharing equal spoils eh?" he watches the piles of the loot and treasure waiting to see what the others say, only half watching as the giantess walks past him.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice IC
"Yes, we do," Anna said, giving the room a last look before she would follow the others to the next location to find what was going on and also to find a way out.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice IC
"Here let me look" Signy grabs the ring and studies it intently but soon hands it back in frustration as she can glean no further information.

You leave the collapsed chamber and move back into the main courtyard where you fought the spectral haunt. Observing again the notable features - namely the frieze of demonic sacrifice on the towers above, the golden deaths-head statuette in the niche, and the frozen corpse of your kinsman Berg Geirson entrapped in the impassable ice-filled archway to the north.
Looking down the hallway to the west you once-more note the recently hacked bodies of the long-dead guardsmen about the place. Presumably your fellow Northlanders disturbed some ancient undead wardens of the ice palace.
One of the doors in the hallway is smashed and stands open, revealing a room tightly packed with very old three-tiered bunk beds with frayed rope mattresses filling every available inch of floor space, only allowing for a narrow path between them. The bunks are equipped with chains at the head and foot to restrain their occupants. There are no exits from this room.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice IC
"A barracks room," Bjorn said as he looked into the big room, "we can stay here if we have to, and put our comrade here as well. But is there another way out of this place besides chopping our way through the ice?"
Anna in the mean time had taken some time to look at the death's head statuette, also doing a detect magic just in case.

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice IC
Anna inspects the golden skull statuette above. It's hard to tell for sure, as the item is 20ft above, but from here is certainly looks quite valuable. A brief incantation confirms a faint aura of magic emanating from the skull which Anna assess as an active abjuration spell.

"There is magic on this thing," Anna said, pointing to the statuette, "Abjuration, but I'm not sure what exactly it does. But the fact that it's still here has to mean something."

Re: The Northlands Saga - Spears in the Ice IC
"Aye," Elissa grunts. "But does it mean we should mess with it, or leave it alone?"
She ponders the situation briefly, before deciding to pursue the former.
"What's the best way to get up there, you think?" As she peers upwards her arms and fingers seem to grow thicker of their own accord. Almost without thinking about it, she begins gently probing the surface of the statue, seeking out nooks suitable as handholds.
Spoiler: OOCA few if-else, in the interest of providing useful input.
Elissa has a +8 climb modifier with the hunter aspect of the monkey. If it's plausible for anyone to assist, that gives her a "take-10" able climb, on DC 20. If not, she'll attempt it anyway, assuming she can assess how difficult the climb will be.
DC 25+, I think there's no point in pursuing this angle.
