The Emerald Spire Superdungeon [IC]

[lostsole31]

This curving hall has been badly damaged, but there are intact doors to the north, east, and south, as well as a large double-door leading west to the core of the tower. The southeast corner of the room has collapsed in a mound of green glass rubble, but a tunnel runs through the debris, shored up with rough timbers.

"Another dark room, surprises of all surprises..." Aroden mutters as he runs his hand along the wall eastward, and asks the darksighted, "Anything of interessant?"

Aroden will move 5'S and 5'E

Grathar

"Nothing is jumping out, yet. We have a door to the East, double doors to the west and some sort of small tunnel to the south. I bet its full of goblins. Though maybe not, if the body was left behind in the other room. I was thinking we should open the east door. Maybe for now we just search this room." Grathar says.

Grathar starts a search of the room, giving the tunnel a wide berth.

[lostsole31]

It takes 26 minutes to carefully sift through the rubble, but finding nothing other than an old screen that used to be hung over the tunnel entrance to hide it.

Now what?

[Ragnarok'n'Roll]

Grathar

"Nothing...I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Let's hit this far east door and open it up." Grathar says.

Grathar will take point and wait for everyone to gather near the door and open the East door.

[Chromascope3D]

Aroden shrugs, the faintest hint of a bemused smirk crossing his lips, as he readies his long hammer to thrust at whatever might jump at them from the door.

Aroden will follow the same marching order as from the last door

[lostsole31]

The door is checked and opened. A plush, human-sized bed stands in this chamber, along with a table holding a bone scroll tube and jars filled with eyeballs, claws, and teeth. Various automaton parts lie scattered around.

[meemaas]

Noticing the pieces of the automaton, Walter speaks up. "Do you think they have more than one of those metal guys?" He then proceeds to enter the room, hoping to check out the bed. As he moves, he makes sure to pull out one of his crystals and light it up.

Manifest Crystal Light, and continue to reactivate it every minute when it expires, excluding during combat, of course.

[lostsole31]

It takes 40 minutes to do a deep search in here.

The scroll tube on the table contains a sheet of parchment on which is drawn a complicated magical sigil in iridescent green ink. With Walter's help, Mordren recognizes the sigil as an identifying mark similar to an arcane mark. The sigil is labeled “Six” in Azlanti.

There's nothing of value or interest but what that strange sigil.

[Chromascope3D]

Aroden sits down on the bed after the search, turning over a piece of machinery in his hand as he muses, "You know, I am hoping we do run into more of these metal men; the first one proved quite profitable, no?"

He tosses the piece aside with a clatter and leans back, asking, "So, where next? The room across the way?"

[Ragnarok'n'Roll]

Grathar

"Sure, it is as good as any."


Grathar leads the way to doors across the way. He waits for everyone to assemble before opening it.

[lostsole31]

The doors are opened. Stairs wind upward to the right, circling around a glowing wall of semi-translucent green stone. It seems the Azlanti tower was built around a core of some other material—a spire within a spire.

[Ragnarok'n'Roll]

Grathar

"Interesting." Grathar stares at the inner core for a moment. He strokes his beard a few times. "We should finish exploring this level before pushing upwards. " Grathar says.

Grathar will move towards the door to the south west and wait for everyone to assemble before opening the door.

[Chromascope3D]

"Sounds good to me, wouldn't want someone to block off the stairs behind us in case we need to make a valorous d'retreat, no?" Aroden affirmed.

[lostsole31]

Grathar goes to the southern door, with the rest of the party forming up behind him. He checks and opens the door. There is no time to get a feel of the large room beyond, as a goblin is there several feet away looking right back at Grathar.

Begin Round One ....

R1T22: Mordren doesn't recognize that there is danger yet. Delaying ...

R1T21: Same with Reiko ...

R1T19: Grathar, what do you do?

[Ragnarok'n'Roll]

Grathar

"At least two goblins. Due south."

Grathar moves closer to the first goblin he sees and launches a series of punches.

[lostsole31]

R1T19: "At least two goblins. Due south," Grathar warns as he moves closer to the first goblin he sees and launches a single punch, forgetting that the difficult terrain keeps him from micro-adjusting for multiple attacks. His fist goes over the goblin's shield but is stopped by his leather armor.

R1T18: Mordren re-ups her armored mask and moves forward next to Aroden, the farthest she can make in the rubble of the tower floor.

R1T17: Reiko darts inside the room while drawing her wakizashi, and gets stabbed in her upper arm for 4 for her trouble.

R1T16-14: Green spins around to stab at Reiko. Blue closes and stabs Reiko in her shoulder for 3. Gold closes to flank Reiko, stabbing her in the upper arm for 2.

R1T7: Aroden, what do you do?

[Chromascope3D]

Aroden follows after Reiko, grinning.

"Pardonne, pardonne," He mutters, stepping around Grathar and shuffling forward through the rubble, bec-de-corbin pointed forward.
