Ruins of Azlant IC 2
Jessica bestows some luck on Henri while Laurelata tries to move past the fishmen to attack them from behind. The maneuver is not executed properly and Laurelata is stabbed by a trident getting two wounds in her side for 6 damage. She in turn inflicts only one wound with the rapier... which was, actually, the plan, but the attack could have been better aimed as it does not seem to hit anything vital and amounts for mere 4 damage. The fishmen seem to be rather worried by the growling glowing outsider. This divides their attention and Henri hits one for 14 damage. The creature, previously wounded by Laurelata, barely holds itself together until it gets water-blasted for 9 damage and into oblivion. The remaining one, scared as it is, seems to be willing to fight to the death and concentrates all of the attacks on Henri. This toes not do any good as the half orc fends off all the attacks - weapon, claw, bite and all.

"Ouch you annoying buggers," Laurelata shouted as she was hit. Clearly she had to practice this maneuver a bit more. But for now she was on the other side of the fishman and with a small step she could flank again.

Re: Ruins of Azlant IC 2
It takes a coordinated effort, but you do manage to bring down the remaining fishman before he could attack again. No more opposition is incoming at the moment, though you do wonder if the sounds of shouting and fighting have alerted anyone behind the doors leading further in. Unless you spend some time to look at the magics again, the only notable thing that those of you seeing the initial charge can notice is that if you squint just like so, you can spot the empty space through the almost solid looking walls along the far sides to the right and the room you are in.

Jessica nods dutifully at Laurelata's request. "I'm not the best at identifying the auras, but I can see them if I try." She casts the spell and looks around carefully.

Re: Ruins of Azlant IC 2
Henri rubs his mostly-healed wound, looking a bit unhappy at where the fishman stabbed him. "Surprised me there...thank you for healing us, Jessica." he says, quietly, as he puts pressure on the wound to slow its flow of blood.

Re: Ruins of Azlant IC 2
Between Jess and Hewitt you manage to learn the following:
1. There is, like, a dozen of spells and effects on this tower, some of them linked together and most of them well above your pay grade. Nothing seem to be immediately harmful given that you are still alive, but for example you cannot sense any auras behind the double doors leading north, even though you well expect there should be some. You check it with the front doors and yep, your divinations are blocked by these too, so there is apparently some protective magic at work (well, or some lead hidden inside the doors, you might try disassembling the doors to check the hypothesis).
2. While a multitude of high-level auras like this is certainly not something you see every day, some stuff is quite recognizable, if noticiably permanent:
2.1 Illumination on the ceiling, which is a version of Light.
2.2 The illusory walls, which use the same version of Silent Image.
3. Apart from the tower itself, there are some more localized auras:
3.1 Two circles of silvery metal set into the floor in the corners of the rooms (or are they better considered parts of the same room) behind the illusory walls. These shine moderate Transmutation.
3.2 Two tridents the fishmen were attacking you with. These are +1 tridents.
Laurelata, meanwhile, both hears and later sees something interesting:
4. She hears some faint activity behind the doors leading north. People moving and talking? She does not recognize anything said.
5. Then she no longer hears this activity.
6. Then she notices what seems to be a keyhole in the wall to the left of those double doors. Noticiably, it does not seem positioned like a door lock normally would be.

Re: Ruins of Azlant IC 2
Henri watches the efforts of the spellcasters to understand what is happening quietly. When one announces that the fishmen's tridents are magical he takes one and tests it carefully. "Could prove handy. If no one else minds, I'll take one of these," he says as he adjusts his gear to find a place for it.
Spoiler: MechanicsAdd one +1 Trident to Henri's inventory. It's a bit redundant with his +1 Spear from the grindylows, but as a one-handed weapon I figure it might be useful in other situations.
If anyone wants it instead they can have either it or his +1 Spear instead.Last edited by DarkOne-Rob; 2021-12-22 at 11:20 PM.

Re: Ruins of Azlant IC 2
Laurelata put her hand up for silence but then the sound dropped.
"I heard someone behind those back doors," she said, "but it's gone now. They know we're here, so be careful."
She agreed with Henri taking one of the tridents. He could work with it and she couldn't and if it was better than his current stuff, why not.
"That's weird," she said when she noticed the lock, "this shouldn't be here. Let me have a closer look at this, but keep your guard up."
She took a closer look at the lock to see why it was there, or if it was even real.
Spoiler: OOC rolls
Have a close look at the lock to see if it's real and if it's trapped.

Re: Ruins of Azlant IC 2
Jessica eagerly reports her findings, glad to be helpful, even if she doesn't learn as much as she'd like. When Laurelata calls for silence, she demurely obliges, taking a few precautionary steps backwards. She favors Henri with a nod and a smile, as she readies her glaive in silence.

Hewitt adds. "We should probably be careful about potentially some of the magical stuff in the room." Lightburn wonders. "How should we deal with all of this? There might be a trap in this room and potentially enemies in the next."

Re: Ruins of Azlant IC 2
Laurelata checks the strange keyhole. It seems quite real when she goes on to tinker with it, including what seems to be a locking mechanism in it. Eventually, Laurelata feels the pins settle and the core rotate. She is pretty sure whatever lock is there is now in a different state than it was before. She still has no idea what she has just locked or unlocked, but highly suspects it is not this door.

Re: Ruins of Azlant IC 2
Hewitt does his best looking for any change in the surrounding magics, but could not find any. So, either Laurelata has affected something non-magical, or something magical outside of the scanned area, or something magical that does not change its aura upon being affected.

"Diplomacy? As long as we don't try and catch more prisoners - the colony can't afford more of those," mutters Henri, a bit irritably. "In the meantime, let's be ready to fight whatever comes out of that door. I'm ready - open it when ready."

Re: Ruins of Azlant IC 2
Jessica lights up briefly at Laurelata's call for friendly resolution. Her excitement fades almost immediately at Henri's brusque response, instead leaving her almost embarrassed. "I would... be glad to try," she murmurs quietly. As no one else steps forward, Jessica does. She raises her voice, and calls out (first in Azlanti, then Common, Aquan, Celestial, and Dwarven- if there is no response), "Hello? We're not here to hurt you! We're just looking for our friends, and maybe some answers? Can we speak peaceably? I am a priestess of Shelyn and swear by her grace no harm will come to you if you don't attack us!"
Spoiler: OOCWe'll use her religious trait, to get a +4 on this diplomacy check.

Re: Ruins of Azlant IC 2
Jessica tries to communicate. She does it in every language she knows, but the only outcome you get is some barely audible whispers behind the closed doors. Those do not seem to be addressed to you and are then followed by silence.

Re: Ruins of Azlant IC 2
The lack of response leaves Jessica decidedly disappointed. "I don't think they care. It's possible they don't understand, but we had better be prepared for a fight if we want to see what's on the other side of this door..." She takes several cautious steps back, to be in a less exposed position when one of the more able combatants opens the doors.

Re: Ruins of Azlant IC 2
The doors at least do not seem to be illusory. Nor do they seem locked. Henri opens them and is greeted by two fishmen on your left looking at him, then looking expectantly at the ceiling where what appears to be two automatic fully-steerable clockwork crossbows are located. The crossbows are pointed at the entrance (which is to say, at you), but do not seem to do anything at the moment.
