Elyas directs the elemental to burrow under the gate with its earth glide ability. it should be able to carry the circlet with it, but if it can't he tells it to leave it on the other side.
He then directs it to help with lifting the portcullis (assisting Rolth) Strength check = 24
Elyas tries to get a look at the door that formed on the other side of the room. is it open? perception = 10, can't get a very clear look at it...
The Wooden Sarcophagus (DM Dan) MAP Wednesday September 1st, 2021 6:27:28 PM Tsak Rezar remains at the ready in case something else dangerous happens Elyas gives his Elemental instructions Rolth Niheow also attempts to life the portcullis Kiwina attempts to lift the portcullis Falco Ambersier also attempts to life the portcullis, but feels like he throws something out. Mak attempts to help lifting the gate, but a twinge in his bad leg puts a stop to that sharpish. Wil helps Kiwina, by casting a spell on him.
The wall is moving relatively slowly, inexorably. You think it will take about half a minute to cross the room, it looks like anyone who is in the room at that time will be scooped up and forced towards the hinged floor.
Kiwina's attempts to lift the gate, even aided by allies are not enough... even with two of you abreast attempting to lift it you don't get it to move at all.
However, when Rolth and Elyas step up to it, working together they manage to life it up and open the gate, they can hold it open for a short period of time, but it's still rather heavy.
Elyas - Highlight to display spoiler: {The door on wall is closed, but the trap is still there as well.}
However the Earth Elemental uses this opportunity to deliver the Circlet, without having to burrow into the earth and just bring it through the open portcullis.

Mak and Wil quickly work together, pointing out the mechanism to one another while Rolth strains to hold up the gate for a bit longer, he's managing it but very soon it will become impossible for him to maintain it.
After a few seconds of inspection, Mak and Wil find the mechanism and a point they believe the can jam a dagger in to stop the portcullis falling, however they're not sure how long it'll hold, not too long surely...
Given the rate the wall is moving it'll be halfway across the room at the end of the next round, so if you wish to enter the room before the portcullis door is blocked, you will all need to enter in the next round (though medium creatures might be able to squeeze through during the round after, if they so choose.)

all that said, Elyas holds up his bonded dagger and mutters to himself, remembering the words to cast Fly. He slips under the gate as other hold it up and floats towards the pit trap, close enough to get to the door.

Mak turned from his place by the portcullis where he'd just jammed a dagger to stop the things downward movement and thought to help Rolth, but his leg twinged again and he decided he stand by the gate ready to drive another dagger into it if the first one failed. He made no attempt to enter the room.

Elyas is glad that the group trusts him to go off on his own, but as soon as he leaves he feels doubt creep in, especially as the wall starts too block his view of his allies.
he feels a little better with Falco's blessing on him, and he is confident he is the best one for the job. he shakes his head with a smile at Wil's silliness and then turns his attention back to the door, watching for any further strangeness from the once-hidden door.

With a sudden realization Falco remembers there is a crowbar in his pack. He takes time time to dig it out with the intention of standing it on end under the portcullis, when it gets low enough, thinking it should stop its downward move

The Wooden Sarcophagus (DM Mark) MAP d20=15 ; Tuesday September 7th, 2021 8:02:39 PM
(We’re switching DMs, so please be patient as your DM clarifies a few things.)
Elyas carefully examines the door. While he sees no obvious traps or runes on the door, he can tell that what looks like a wooden door is actually just an illusion of a wooden door! Wil looks for a way to stop the portcullis from closing further. Kiwina looks for a way to stop the spiked wall from advancing. Rolth and Tsak look at the shadowy forms, and almost like a bad dream the forms evaporate into nothing. (Just to be clear, there are no shadows there in that central room. They did not reappear at this time.) Falco thinks quickly and remembers he has a crowbar in his Efficent Quiver. He grabs it and shoves it in to jam the portcullis from closing further. Mak makes sure the dagger is jammed in as well and pulls out another to help.
The portcullis is effectively held. Between two daggers, a crowbar, and your efforts it stays held about 5 feet off the floor. (It takes a DC 25 strength check to open it and to hold it, but it seems like these implements held in place would be effective. You think you could pound them in place to keep them there.)
As the spiked wall grates across the room, you see it move through the wooden sarcophagus, shattering it to pieces. You can also see there was a minotaur skeleton in the thing, which is also broken up as the pieces are pushed toward the now trapped Elyas.
To those in the hallway, as it moves past the entry Elays disappears from sight and it appears as if the wall is part of a rather large block of stone that now grates past them.
Elyas floats in the air above a pit. He sees the room where he is go dark as the spiked stone wall cuts off the light from the hallway. He still hears the grating sound and the last he saw, the spike wall was pressing toward him, moving about 10’ per round. Does he have another light source?
The Earth Elemental stands in the hallway for now, holding a silver circlet. I moved him to Elyas, for reasons outlined below.
----------------------------------- A minor clarification - the Earth Elemental will only obey the one that summoned it. Summoned creatures are not happy to be there, and while they will obey the summoner they do so under duress. Also, a summoned creature will follow the summoner and attack their opponents. Instructing it to take actions byond this, including telling it not to attack your opponents, requires that you speak its language. So in the future, unless Elyas knows Terran, a summoned Earth Elemental will simply stay with him and defend him.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (51/62 HP | AC: 21; Touch: 14; CMD: 25) | Tuesday September 7th, 2021 8:25:47 PM
Rolth chuffs in relief when the shadows fade back into nothingness. Then he realizes that the sound of stone grinding has changed, and moves around the corner to see what has become of the rest of the party. He groans in dismay to see that Elyas has not returned, and mutters a quick prayer to Domi the protector. He doesn't know what to do other than wait, so wait he does, ready to pitch in with brawn or wit if someone comes up with a bright idea.

Elyas shakes his head, seeing that the fake door turned into... another fake door. He saw how fast the wall was moving and thinks he has time for one more turn to investigate before it's too late. he casts light on his headband, then presses against the illusion of a door to see if he can go through it at all.

The shouts of alarm from the other end of the corridor cause Kiwina some concern until he hears it was a false alarm. Now all there is to do is wait until Elyas returns. After that, he supposes they'll wait until the wall stops moving, and maybe a bit longer to see if it returns.
"And if it doesn't go back into position, then we may have effectively sealed off this avenue from exploration."

"Well, I guess I'm gonna have to strap up my boots and figur' some'ting out." He joins the others in the other room, with the hope, that they found a way out of the maze they got themselves in. "We lost Elyas behind the stone wall," he says when he reaches the others. "We have to figure out something? What if we just run across the floor in that other room.

Falco sighs as he sees that tis whole thing has not played our in any way they would have hoped. At best the room will reset itself at some point. At worst they are going to have a heck of a time getting to Elyas.

Mak didn't want to abandon Elyas and was content to sit a while and wait on the crafty mage. He suspected the man had a way out of the room, or a plan to get out of the room. There was also the pit that he himself would have used to escape the crushing wall. Elyas in flight would be able to hover over the floor of that pit without touching the bottom and whatever was down there that the wall would have pushed them into.
"Elyas has got this." Mak said. "We just need to give him a minute." and then he was visible again.
The Wooden Sarcophagus (DM Mark) MAP d20+6=25 ; Wednesday September 8th, 2021 12:39:27 PM Rolth returns to the others, worried that Elays is missing. Elyas casts light and carefully studies the wooden door that appeared before him. Kiwina waits. Tsak remains on guard. Wil wanders around for a bit, worried that Elays is gone. Falco waits, hoping the trap before them will reset at some point. Mak waits, confident that Elyas will be alright.
For Elays: Highlight to display spoiler: {As Elyas floats above the pit, his insight pierces the illusion and he sees the wispy appearance of a wood door overlain on the carved stone of the wall. Looking below him, he can see the pit has spikes at the bottom 30 feet down. There are metal spikes behind him too, protruding from the wall, grinding inexorably toward him.
The Earth Elemental stands near Elyas holding the silver circlet. As the wall advances, the Earth Elemental simply stands there as the wall envelopes him, ignoring the wall as it rolled past him. Maybe this was advanced earth gliding.
Elyas is confident that his teleportation will work in here. I mean, it should, right?}
For the others, the metal portcullis is being held up - as long as you hold the daggers and crowbar jammed into it. You might be able to pound them in to make it permanent, but you know that if you let go of your tools right now the portcullis will fall.
And the stone face continues to grind past the entryway as the stone advances another 10'.

Elyas sees his elemental still following him and not Rolth. Oh right you probably have no idea what I'm saying do you.... I need to work on that...
He shakes his head and goes back to examining the door. turns out it is just a solid wall after all. oh well, worth checking I suppose He thinks, then looks back in time to see his elemental pass through the wall.
Elyas looks towards where he came from, visualizing the hallway with the Petals and shifts briefly onto another plane and back into the material plane back where he started.
If for some reason that doesn't work (he already teleported in this tomb, but maybe something is different in this room) he will fly downward into the spike pit, hovering above the spikes but below where the wall would crush him.

Mak nodded as he held the dagger in one hand and the ball of the morning star in the other and drove the dagger deeper into the crevice he'd found to jam it up. "Elyas was looking to see if the door inside could be opened."
The Wooden Sarcophagus (DM Mark) MAP d20=2 Thursday September 9th, 2021 12:55:10 PM Mak asks for a hammer to pound the dagger in place, and uses Rolth’s Morningstar to do so. Kiwina Trusts that Elyas has things in hand. Rolth is not so sure about Elyas. As he watches the stone continue to slide past, he notices something of a repeating pattern to the stone - nothing worked, it just starts to look the same as it grinds past the entryway. Tsak waits, as does Falco. Wil replies to unheard voices - at least unheard by the others. Elyas eventually pops back into the hallway just before the metal spikes in the wall would have pierced his flesh.
Mak is pretty sure the dagger will hold the portcullis. But having been pounded in with a morningstar it’s not really useful as a dagger now.
About the time Elyas appears in the hallway, the stone stops moving across the entryway. A couple rounds after Elyas appears in the hallway, the Earth Elemental starts to emerge from the sliding stone face closing off the entryway. It sees the hallway is crowded and it avoids the half-closed portcullis as it earthglides down to reemerge in the hallway next to Elyas holding a silver circlet. (How long will the elemental be around?)
It occurs to Elyas that it had to avoid the metal portcullis, ducking under it as it tried to enter the hallway, but seemed to have ignored the metal spikes in the advancing wall as the wall simply moved past the elemental earlier.
A couple rounds more and the now still rockface covering the entryway simply vanishes - it doesn't move, it just disappears. The portcullis grinds upward, and Mak’s dagger remains pounded into the wall. It might catch the thing if it fell again, or it might get sheared off by the metal portcullis. You also hear another grating sound as the pit in the room closes again.
Peering into the room, things are much as you found them. Directly across from the entry is an inscription on the wall scrawled in archaic Taur, “Let the chips fall where they may.” The wall to the left has the outline of a doorway in the middle of it. The wall to the right is covered in small 1 inch diameter holes. In the middle of the room is a large wooden sarcophagus, the top of which now lays on the floor and is inscribed with a forest of trees. A large intact minotaur skeleton is lying in the sarcophagus.
Which is a bit odd, as you remember seeing the sarcophagus and skeleton destroyed by the advancing wall.
(I advanced the scene about 5 rounds or so. Let me know if you did anything in the interim. No need to go round by round for now - just let me know what you do if you stay here.)

Mak was certain he saw that room differently as the wall came across and crushed everything in it's path. There was also the fact that the wall vanished from in front of him while he was working with his now ruined dagger. Something didn't smell right here and it bolstered his attempts to see through any illusions.

"And Elyas, what do you make of this circlet?"

Falco blinks as the trap disappears. "Well they certainly pulled one over on us. Must have be one heck of an illusion." {Perception: Nat 1 for a 10} "Or maybe it isn't an illusion. Hard to tell."

Elyas reappears and is surprised when the block of stone vanishes.
he takes the circlet back from the elemental and then the summoned creature vanishes back to wherever it came from.
while they are waiting for the way to become clear again, Elyas detects magic on the circlet and tries to identify it after 3 rounds (of the 5 where we have been hanging out here) Spellcraft = 28
Well, the door was an illusion, but apparently so was the stone block. I am curious what else is an illusion here... still, I don't see any actual exits from this room, and I am all out of teleportation spells for today, so I won't be tryign that again
The Wooden Sarcophagus (DM Mark) MAP d20=9 ; Friday September 10th, 2021 6:10:43 PM Mak is puzzled by the room's sudden return to its former state, but cannot see any illusions here. Rolth steps into the room and also looks for any illusions. He does not see any. The wall he stands in front of is covered in about one inch holes, and he thinks those holes extend about a foot into the wall. Kiwina wonders about the carved door and asks Elyas to check out the silver circlet. Wil speculates about things in the room. Falco remains a bit unsure about the whole thing. Elyas takes the silver circlet from the elemental and it disappears. He examines the circlet with Detect Magic, and Highlight to display spoiler: { he determines that this silver circlet is a Headband of Mental Prowess (+4 Intelligence and Charisma). In addition, Elyas can tell it has a special property in this room such that anyone holding it may make a DC 20 check to see through illusions in this room without actually interacting with the illusion.}
Using Detect Magic in this room, you will learn the entire room radiates abjuration magic, likely associated with a magical trap, and the circlet is a point source of transmutation magic. You do not detect any illusion magic at this time, though you might discern the lingering effects of illusions here. You also determine there is a mechanical aspect to the magical trap, and this triggered the portcullis to fall. You might also surmise that the magical trap triggered an illusory block of stone to move with illusory metal spikes, and the illusion of a wooden door where one is inscribed on the north wall. Elyas already determined that the north wall has no actual door.
There is a separate mechanical trap associated with the floor at the north end of the room such that when 400 pounds or more are placed there, the floor swings down revealing a spiked pit 30’ below.
The wooden sarcophagus lies open. The top is carved in the shape of trees, and anyone examining the trees on the sarcophagus can make a DC 20 Perception check: Highlight to display spoiler: {Among the trees you see a hidden message in taur that reads, “The talisman of Cestus is the beginning of intellect and influence.”} There is an ordinary minotaur skeleton inside. You detect no magic in the sarcophagus, but the magical trap in this room is triggered by removing the wooden lid. The sarcophagus is otherwise solid and has no false bottom or hidden things.

Kiwina moves into the room, tapping along with his rod as he inspects the place. (Perception = 28) He points out the writing on the sarcophagus lid, "The talisman of Cestus is the beginning of intellect and influence. I wonder what that means. Elyas, when you were checking out that thing did you learn anything about intellect and influence?"
So, mess with the sarcophagus and an illusory wall herds you into the pit? Kiwina guesses that explains false visions can be your downfall. "Does anyone lightweight feel like searching that north wall for hidden doors?"

Rolth checks out the sarcophagus lid and reads out [b]“'The talisman of Cestus is the beginning of intellect and influence.' Huh, I wonder if that applies to the circlet? So what do we want to do next? Magic item in the shadow room or play with the golems again?"

Elyas chuckles to himself as he examines the headband Oh yes, this will do... nicely. let's see what you can show me
he nods absently as Rolth and Kiwina ask about the headband. yes, this will boost intellect and influence, most definitely. it also should let me pierce the veils in this particular room. don't ask me how I know that, it just feels right...
He takes off his old headband and stashes it in his bag, then puts on the Headband of Mental Prowess and begins searching the room again. can someone help me open the trapdoor again? I want to get a look at the spikes
Perception check = 23!

Rolth hears Elyas' request and moves over next to the pit lid, grasps the wall, and uses a paw or two to put sufficient pressure to push down the lid. He'll hold it there while Elyas or others explore below.
The Wooden Sarcophagus (DM Mark) MAP Monday September 13th, 2021 12:02:39 PM Kiwina and Rolth are to see the text hidden in the leaves of the sarcophagus. Kiwina tries to puzzle out how the room works as Rolth moves in. Elyas seems rather excited about this circlet. He removes his own and places this new one on his head. As he does so, he also learns wearing the circlet grants him +2 to Diplomacy and Insight. (Unfortunately, this is only a temporary bonus until Elyas has worn it for 24 hours. He also looses the bonus spell and skill granted by the headband he removed, and will not gain bonus spells and skills from this headband until after 24 hours.) Tsak stands guard, but sees no threats at this time. Wil stands ready and whistles to pass the time.
Some in the party move into the room.
After experimenting with the elements in the room, the Petals confirm what Kiwina thought. Replacing the lid on the wooden sarcophagus and then removing it triggers the trap in this room. The metal spikes and the wall that begins to move are indeed illusory, and on a successful save DC 25 Will save (DC 20 for Elyas) you can see through and move through this illusion as it proceeds. Since one person saving and alerting the others will add to their save, everyone should be safe from the illusion within a few rounds.
It appears as a metal spiked block of stone that will eventually fill this room, moving about 10’ per round. The illusion even includes the false destruction of the sarcophagus and skeleton. This trap also includes the illusion of a wooden door on the north wall to draw those trapped to the pit, and the pit opens up once more than 400 pounds of weight are on it.
The falling portcullis and pit trap are quite real, as are the spikes at the bottom of the pit. There are no hidden doors or such in the pit, and there are no hidden doors on the walls of this room. You’ll have spent about 30 minutes here, but you’re confident that you’ve found all there is to find here.

"Hold my calls, Karen" (DM Mark) MAP Tuesday September 14th, 2021 2:31:55 PM Mak suggests going outside and maybe all the way back to town. Falco notes this place is frustrating and agrees to rest. Wil and Elyas agree to a rest as well. Rolth thinks it may not be necessary to journey all the way back to town, and goes over some of the things and options the party has. Kiwina notes that a journey to town would take a couple of days on top of getting some needed rest. Tsak suggests the Petals rest in the corridor instead and make do with what they have. Elyas says the room with the illusions may be a good place to rest.
The place is quiet. It smells of dust and sweat and a bit of death. The Petals discuss their options as frustration with this place sets in.
There’s not really an insight or inspiration skill, so Sense Motive DC20 or Survival DC 25:Highlight to display spoiler: { Even as Falco and Elyas note this place might be frustrating for the Petals, it makes you all think about how you got here. Hollyhocks and Nyloth alluded to some things. Bridge Island is a special place among the Taur Isles. This is a place Pholus journeyed to with some of the Herd Leaders, a place he was drawn to as he sought Domi’s guidance on who might succeed him. The Centaurs were restless for leadership when you left them, and even the Minotaur and Liontaur leaders saw a need for greater Taur unity. Nyloth mentioned a need for humility as well. So it may be that the messages and lessons here are not exactly intended for the Petals. Perhaps even the Petals presence here is a lesson to the Centaurs and the other Taur races. And where is Pholus now? You know that Pholus came here with 5 other centaurs. Three are accounted for, but what of the others?}

Mak sighed and rested his head against the stone wall at his back. Looked like another night in this dank and dark place. Two died getting in and of the remaining three, one died running through the golem room. I suspect he turned to keep the golems from following and thus sacrificed himself.

Kiwina explains his perspective. "We came here looking for Pholus. We know it's possible to escape this place because one centaur did, but we've no evidence anyone else did. The only unexplored path we know of is through the room with the golems. It seems that we try that path. We know we aren't going to successfully fight the golems, so how do we get past them? Two flank the entrance and exit. We might take them unawares entering the room, but should expect to be attacked exiting, even if we sprint through.

He spent another night in the tomb without his bedroll with only his rumpled cloak and pack as a cushion against the hard stone. It was a lesson for next time. The impetuousness of the lion man would have to be taken into account with future endeavors, so Mak sat in worried silence as the plans were being made to cross the golem room. It seemed as if the decision wasn't his, or he was in the minority so he was just going to go with what the others wanted to do and work out the consequences later.

As they drift to sleep Falco is obsessed with being more helpful. In the morning he prays and asks the Warper-Sar for guidance. A flash of inspiration comes to him while he prepares.
"OK, I have some ideas. I have prayed for some new abilities. I can reshape some amount of stone and hide us from undead if we are faced with that sort of issue again. That should at least be some help."

Elyas wakes up and prepares spells for the day by the light of his dagger. he prepares some extra magic missiles for shadows and some spells to help get around golems
I can make us all faster, but that might not be needed. I can make 3 people invisible, which worked last time. then I can teleport 3 of us across the room. I would be out of teleportation for the day but it could be worth it. that would leave one person to either run for it or be made invisible by another one of the casters
"OK, I have some ideas." (DM Mark) MAP Thursday September 16th, 2021 7:06:02 PM
All rested, the Petals continue to discuss tactics and how to deal with the stone golems.
(Your DM is impressed - these are all interesting and innovative approaches, including those discussed in the email thread on this. So, this is a tough spot and I think we haven’t been giving out experience per scene, but it was generally designed for you to be 9th level at this point. So please level up your character to 9th level, including those two free spells that a wizard would add to his spellbook.)
Now what do you know about these stone golems? You know from experience that they are tough and they hit twice and pretty hard. You know they have damage reduction 10/adamantine. You know you saw 5 of them animate from the statues there. You know magic tends to be ineffective against them.
Knowledge Arcana DC 21:Highlight to display spoiler: { They know they can cast a Slow spell as a free action once every two rounds. They are immune to spells and spell-like abilities that would be subject to spell resistance. Being constructs there are a number of things they are immune to as well like breathing, poison, mind affecting stuff, etc.}

Mak woke the next morning and while he toyed with his bow he knew only his sword would be effective against the golems. He wondered if the golems would indeed stay in the room. They had no proof the constructs wouldn’t follow them down the corridor and all it would take would be one of them stepping into the corridor to block everyone else.

"I've got this elixir, and this here potion that might help, ooh look some kabana." (DM Mark) MAP Friday September 17th, 2021 5:39:03 PM Wil feels strong and admonishes an unseen critic. Kiwina thinks about how he might run through the Dome of the Liontaurs and the Stone Golems therein. Mak realizes he has the most effective weapon against Stone Golems and wonders if they will follow the party. Tsak rummages through his pack for things that might help. Then he finds a forgotten sausage as sits down to enjoy it. Rolth considers some new abilities, and thinks about a fast run through the Golem room. Falco is glad for some better spells and abilities. Elyas is worried the Golems may follow them, but hopes a hallway on the other side will give the Petals a tactical advantage.
Rested (and mostly leveled up) the Petals continue discussing tactics.

Rolth is keen for each Petal to let us know how they plan to cross the room. He still thinks the sneaky invisible or teleporting ones should go first, followed by those who will use speed, distractions, and the like. Someone can claim his invisibility potion, and he reminds the party of the other one in our party stash. As he noted before, he’ll use a mirror image if he is one to run for it in the second group.

Centaurs are not known for stealth, so Kiwina feels that trying to slip past unnoticed is not an option for him. His plan is to run through the room as fast as he can, believing that the constructed creatures will not be able to react until after he is already through.
He has considered a concealing mist, but it will not work against those within five feet of him and therefore will not help.

Plans (DM Mark) MAP Monday September 20th, 2021 11:24:09 AM
DM Mark just checking in.
I see plans continue. I'll keep checking back for actions and changed locations on the map.
Mak(JamesM)(56/64)HP|AC:24/16T/19FF|CMD 28|+1 CLB:Arrows(20)|13/8/-/13(RS)/-|(Full,WFs,WS,WT,PBS,DA,RS,MS)**|1d8+15(x2 MS)(x3) Monday September 20th, 2021 2:31:43 PM
Mak waited on instructions. His last attempt to cross that room ended in his near death so he was waiting on a sound plan to deal with these magical constructs of which he had no experience.
He did add. "That one centaur was trying to get out of there. I'd like to make certain that they won't follow someone from the room on the other side. Perhaps one of us fast people move across quickly and then wait to see if they follow?"
Wilford Grimly (HP:53/53- AC: 19; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 21) Monday September 20th, 2021 2:54:24 PM
"I think I can sneak by without help. Unless someone objects. But would you like me to summon some distractions or try without the summons? I'm ready to go once we reach the doorway to that room."
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (72/72HP | AC: 20; Touch: 13; CMD: 25) | d20+5=14 ; Monday September 20th, 2021 6:07:37 PM "OK, how about this for a plan, simple and workable:
Tsak, Wil, Falco, and I sneak through invisibly (three made invisible by Elyas and I use my potion.) Then, if that goes according to plan, Elyas teleports with Kiwina and Mak. Do whatever buffs you like before we go invisible and start moving."
Once we are ready to go, Rolth casts Toros Taur Try (Liontaur) on himself, as well as expeditious retreat.
(Stealth = 14 when needed)

Kiwina heads over towards the golem room, staying in the corridor. He tosses a sling bullet with a light orison on it into the middle of the place -- under or onto the wooden table depending on whether it has legs or sides (AC 15 to land that particular square, less any range penalty). He sees if the golems react to that, and uses the light to see what he can of the room -- especially what might be in the way going through. (Perception = 27) Then he backs up to let the others see, too, if they want.

Tsak gets a potion out of his sack and prepares to glug it, then grab Esmerelda and head toward the big, dangerous statues...

Falco nods at Rolths plan.
"If there is extra space in the invisibility spell then sure if not I will do my best to mange, I am sneaky. Invisible they would need some extra sense to detect me I think."

Elyas stands in the corridor outside the golem room. he will cast greater invisibility on each of his 3 targets one at a time as they are ready to go into the room.

"Am I invisible right now? Can you see me?" Wil dances around a bit, hopefully he is not invisible because he will look crazier. "This is so cool. I'm ready to go.. take off.. skirt.. move it like Beckham.. who's Beckham? I don't know."
How do we get past those Golems? (DM Mark) MAP Tuesday September 21st, 2021 2:19:16 PM Kiwina would like to run through the room, thinking he may be fast enough to get all the way through before the golems can react. He casts light on a pebble and throws it under the table in the middle of the room. Elyas offers to make some invisible and then teleport himself and two others through the room. Rolth suggests that four of the Petals use invisibility to make their way sneakily through the room. Falco offers to cast Bless on all and will sneak through invisibly. Tsak worries about Esmerelda and would like for her to be invisible as he carriers her. Wil offers to summon a creature as a distraction if that would help. Mak remembers being pummeled by the golems, and suggest someone move through fast to see what they do.
The Dome of the Liontaurs is a large, roughly circular room about 70’ across. The dome is 40’ high in the center. Kiwina’s light illuminates the room pretty well, casting bright light in the middle (20’) and dim light out to the edges (20’ further). The dead centaur at the far side of the room represents difficult terrain (half move in those pink squares, but this should not be a big deal.)
You may recall that it was the four nearest statues and the one furthest from you that animated and attacked.
There appears to be no reaction to Kiwina’s light from any of the statues as the little pebble clatters to a stop under the table.
As the Petals firm up plans, they seem to have three parts to this plan:
- Some want to run through as fast as they can. There was earlier discussion of a large Taur carrying another creature, and Tsak plans to carry Esmerelda. I was surprised to see that Rolth and Kiwina both move at 50’. (A creature can run at 3 times their speed if wearing heavy armor, or 4 times their speed otherwise. Carrying a medium or heavy load will also slow you down a bit. The room is 70’ across.)
- Elyas wants to teleport himself and two others, but he knows a large creature counts as two, small and medium count as one.
- Some want to sneak through invisibly. (Stealth is an opposed roll against Perception. Invisibility adds +20 to your stealth roll. Attempting to move stealthily is moving at half speed. Normal speed results in a -5 to stealth, and you cannot use stealth while running.)
You guys have enough information to tell me what you do in the next turn. Choose wisely.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (72/72HP | AC: 20; Touch: 13; CMD: 25) | Tuesday September 21st, 2021 10:03:56 PM
Rolth proposes that he and Kiwina each carry an invisible small or medium Petal. With our high strength, tripled carrying carrying capacity, and just two castings of expeditious retreat, we could really move along nicely, and avoid moving through the middle of the room entirely, while still easily clearing the room. Rolth offers to carry Wil, and suggests that Kiwina carry Falco. That would leave Mak and Tsak to go with Elyas, which would provide some beef to Team Teleport if things go wrong. Team Invisible goes first, so that Team Teleport doesn't get stuck on the far side if things go wrong. He thinks the idea of sending just one PC to test the waters is riskier, because that might just alert the golems and cause them to move to block the entrances again. If the Petals agree, he moves out as above (with 160' of movement available, he will go to BP-BQ/7-8 if the party agrees, moving in a semicircle on the south side of the table.)

If the entire party can be made invisible or teleported, then of course that makes more sense than a daring charge. Kiwina waits for the spellcasters to confirm they are able to do this. Being by far the largest of the group*, he does not hold out too much hope, though.
"Perhaps the potion would be effective on me if a spell would not," he muses.

Tsak takes another look at Esmerelda, noting that the cat now weighs quite a lot more than the skinny stray she used to be. Um, Kiwina, can you maybe carry Esmerelda as well, please? I'm not sure that I'll be able to carry her all the way across quietly (or even at all). If Kiwina is amenable Tsak places her atop his large friend and then goes to stand with Mak and Elyas and prepares to be spirited across with magic.

The Petals enact their plan. Elyas casts Greater Invisibility on Rolth, Will and Kiwina, and then prepares to Teleport himself and two others across. Rolth casts Expeditious Retreat on himself and Kiwina. He then stealthily moves across the room carrying Wil. Falco climbs onto Kiwina, who then moves stealthily across the room. And even though Falco was not made invisible, still the little owlman is able to almost disappear from view. Tsak worries about Esmerelda, and then Elyas suddenly remembers that at his current level he can actually take three people plus himself! The mage teleports Mak, Tsak, and Esmerelda across once Kiwina and Rolth seem to have had enough time to get across.
As the Petals move across the room, they keep a careful eye on the statues. None move or seem to take notice.
(Wow. That took a lot of planning, but just wow! Nice work! Everyone gets a heao point for having deftly avoided a very difficult combat. In fact, without more adamantine weapons, it’s not clear if you would’ve won. Which is maybe a good thing to consider for future purchases...)
As you look back into the Dome of the Liontaurs, you see the remains of a poor unfortunate male centaur lying dead on the floor. He still has a holy symbol to Domi, a longsword, bow and some arrows. His saddle bag is bloodied. It contains some standard supplies (rope, some moldering food, flint and steel, etc.) Nothing of great value, none of it magical.
Before you is a curving hallway. I put the whole thing on the map, and it eventually ends in two double doors. I’m interested in how you traverse this hallway and what precautions you take. No need to go round by round though - just put yourselves where you think you would be and the end of traversing that hallway.

Elyas teleports himself and the last group, and is quite pleased with how well it all turned out!
now the trick will be getting back across the other way! I hope we find what we're looking for over here.
for the next hallway, Elyas casts light on Rolth's weapon again and then casts detect magic, asking everyone to not start down the hallway until he has checked for magical readings.

Rolth will wait patiently while the inestimable Elyas conducts his magical inquiries, and say a prayer for his fallen centaur fellow follower of Domi. Hopefully, we can return for his remains later. Rolth will also request that someone else get the light spell, so as to not spoil his remaining rounds of invisibility. Once we do start to move, he will try to be aware of any threats or clues as we move carefully towards the door at the end of the curving hall.

Kiwina pauses. The golems had him worried.
Well, Tsak thinks, so far the corridors have been trap free, only the rooms have been awful.
He moves to the front of the group and carefully makes his way along the corridor. He's quite used to dungeons now (favored terrain) and uses his knowledge and skills to check for traps, tracks and treasure as he makes his way along.
Tsak stops at the last bend before the door and takes up rear post. He assumes the magical members of the party can do a better job of checking the door than he can...

Falco moves down the corridor shadowing the other large folks attempting to stay out of site as much as possible while keeping his eyes open. If they get to the end unbothered he casts detect magic on the doors.

Ooo, Look. I can see myself. (DM Mark) MAP d20=5 d20=15 d20=12 d20=15 d20=9 d20=1 Thursday September 23rd, 2021 1:26:04 PM Elyas casts Light on - someone. Then he casts Detect Magic and asks everyone to wait until he checks the hallway for magic. The DM presumes he moves at least to the last turn in the corridor. Rolth moves forward quietly and invisibly, looking carefully as he goes. Wil does likewise. Kiwina pauses to keep an eye on the golems for a few moments. (Feel free to move Kiwina forward when you wish. Tsak moves forward, looking for traps and such as he goes. Mak moves forward, bow at the ready. Falco moves stealthily forward with the others, also keeping a sharp eye out.
This corridor is similar to the others, uniformly rough hewn but straight throughout. There is some light dust on the floor.
At the end stand two large double doors. As you turn the last corner, you are startled to find forms advancing toward you. You soon realize this is your own reflection - the two double doors at the end are mirrored. Neither Elyas nor Falco detect magic in the corridor or on the doors.
I know Rolth does not have a light source. Kindly just let your DM know who does - no need to put this on the map though.
Between the spells cast (Greater Invisibility, Teleport, Light, Detect Magic), and stopping at each turn to check for magic (1 round each turn) it has been 11 rounds since the first Greater Invisibility was cast.

Elyas shrugs when Rolth declines the light on himself, and casts it on his own bonded dagger instead.
no magic here, we can move up
he looks at the doors, curious to find giant mirrors down here. he looks for a way to open the doors, or signs of mundane traps after finding no magical auras. perception = 27
as they go donw the hallway all three of the invisible people are visible again! [ooc: taking a note to pick up regular invisibility soon. along with ghost touch. if you have other recommendations of spells Elyas should shop for soon, let me know!]

I forgot to add that Kiwina was wise to keep an eye on the Stone Golems because that would be a bad surprise from behind. But he does not see any movement in that room.
The dead centaur is pretty gross though, and a bit sad.

Kiwina casts light on his staff, letting the one on the stone go out.
Kiwina catches up with the rest of the group. "If I remember right, a mirrored room is where Pholus was lost." He is not sure that he remembers right, however. He does hope that they manage to find the centaur chieftain soon, though.

Rolth reminds everyone, "More specifically, Brygape told us that Pholus was trapped in a hall of mirrors. Elyas says that these mirrors outside are not magical, but I wonder if there is some sort of trapped magic mirror inside. Elyas, how about let's compare notes on that and see what we know about such things? I know I've heard something about that but can't remember anything useful at all. Let's think about this before just blundering into another death trap."

Wil continues to look for traps with a complication because he still thinks he is invisible. He dances in the hallway like a silly man. That is until he sees himself in the mirror then stops abruptly and becomes embarrassed. He swallows then suggests they just open the doors, if they are not obviously trapped. (Perception:15 - for traps)
Ooo, Look. I can see myself. (DM Mark) MAP Friday September 24th, 2021 6:10:14 PM Elyas looks at the mirrored doors. Kiwina casts Light on his staff as he catches up with the others. He seems to recall that Pholus was lost in a mirrored room. He does not think the doors are either magical or trapped. Rolth says "More specifically, Brygape told us that Pholus was trapped in a hall of mirrors. Elyas says that these mirrors outside are not magical, but I wonder if there is some sort of trapped magic mirror inside. Elyas, how about let's compare notes on that and see what we know about such things? I know I've heard something about that but can't remember anything useful at all. Let's think about this before just blundering into another death trap." Wil also looks for traps. He thinks there are none and suggests opening the mirrored doors.
Looking at the mirrored doors, you can see they have gleaming, mirrored handles (probably some sort of shiny metal). You think they probably open outward. Reflected images of the Petals stare back at you, silently mirroring your movements.
What now?

Casting detect magic again on the doors Falco's eyes scrunch up.
"Some creatures very glare can cause problems. Probably best to at least avert your eyes from anything in here until we know what is going on. With luck the floor is not mirrored."

Tsak is very glad the statues stayed still and didn't follow the petals thru the latest corridor. From his vantage point it seems very quiet, at least they should be able to rest there after they escape from whatever horrible trap is awaiting them in the next room.
Maybe have the webby spell ready, that seems to work well on limiting enemy movement - could be quite handy if we have to fight something with our eyes closed. Will we be following tradition and tying one hand behind our backs as well?

At Rolth's question, Elyas tries to recall anything helpful about magical mirror traps.
knowledge arcana = 19
I do have a web spell ready to go, i can slow dow anything that tries to attack us. who is brave enough to open the door while i cover them?

Rolth pronounces himself willing to open the doors and see what lies in store for the Petals. "If this is a test from Domi, there is nothing for it but to face it and prove myself worthy." He will wait for Elyas to finish ruminating on the potential for magic mirror traps and offer what wizardly guidance he might have. Rolth also suggests that perhaps Elyas and others in the party might wish to wait to look through the doors once opened, until Rolth can report that it is safe to gaze upon. That way there will be more likely someone able to save anyone who does get waylaid by a trap.
When the time comes, he will grasp the handles and pull the doors open.

It's s silly thing to say, but Kiwina finds that he has once again been trapped at the back of the group by these annoying tunnels. He wishes they were on the sea, or even just in a field, where he would have some freedom to move.

Rolth will also ask Elyas to move back slightly to make some room at the front for himself and Kiwina to face this tauric challenge. (That would require 20' of open space at the end of the corridor near the doors.

Wil waits anxiously for the others in front to open the door. He ponders out loud if he is ever going to get to use Touch of Idiocy. Then thinks maybe he should keep that to himself.

Mak averted his gaze enough that he could see Rolth's paws, but not the mirrored doorway. Meanwhile he strained to hear whatever might be behind those closed doors.

Elyas moves back, casing light on Rolth's weapon again. be careful, we'll be right behind you. though i guess you can see that in the mirror...
Ooo, Look. I can see myself. (DM Mark) MAP d20=13 ; Monday September 27th, 2021 3:12:28 PM Falco warns that some creatures’ glare can cause problems and suggests others avert their eyes as the doors are opened. Tsak suggests a web spell to hamper anything beyond the doors. Elyas says he has a web spell ready and asks who is brave enough to open the doors? Rolth stands ready to try to open the doors, but suggests some better positioning first. Kiwina reminds everyone that Brygape’s journal suggested Pholus was trapped somewhere in this place. Wil stands ready. Mak listens carefully, but hears nothing beyond the party’s movements and discussion.
As suggested, the party moves around a bit, and averts their eyes as Rolth pulls on the mirrored doors. He finds that they are very heavy, but well balanced. They swing outward.
Upon opening the doors, the party sees a large room. It’s initially only seen by Rolth, but when he doesn’t go blind or get duplicated he tells the others it may be safe to look.
As the dim light spills into the room, the Petals can see that the walls of this 20’ high room are covered with mirrors. In the middle of the room are three large standing mirrors, the closest faced away from you, arranged as shown on the map. The borders of the central standing mirrors seem to be carved in figures, though they are hard to make out from where you stand. In the middle of these mirrors is a large bottle surrounded by a pile of gold. Written on in tiles on the floor in front of the mirrors is, “This is the beginning of wisdom - that communication and understanding leads to peace and cooperation.”
The room is still and quiet as your light glints off the mirrors on the walls.

Mak said. Probably illusory anyway, or fake, trapped, or cursed....all of that."
The archer was also concerned about the mirrors and how the one was conveniently turned away. "We should break these mirrors." Mak suggested.

“I had that thought too,” Wil said as he pulled his crossbow from his side. “I don’t know why I thought that so quickly but it’s a thought. I don’t really like all these mirrors. They could be portals. In the old Dirt City, we were adverse to mirrors but they also helped a lot with a bit of thievery.”

Mak continued to muse. "I bet if your image is in all three mirrors something bad will happen. Let's turn them all outward and see what happens to the pile of gold."
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (72/72HP | AC: 20; Touch: 13; CMD: 25) | d20+6=20 ; d20+5=10 ; Monday September 27th, 2021 3:53:05 PM
Rolth, mindful of the bad turn of events last time he moved too hastily into a room, pauses before speaking or acting. "Well, there are three mirrors and three species of taurkind. Given the tiled messaged about communication and understanding, I wonder whether this is part of our quest from Domi to reunite the taurs? Mak, I agree that the temptation of the gold may be part of the test, and we may need to destroy the mirrors. But in the latter case, let us check around a little first. Elyas, shall we investigate any magics here before proceeding to close?" Rolth casts detect magic and begins scanning straight ahead toward the mirrors.

"The mirrors could be bad but it says to communicate. Perhaps they are a means of communication?"
Falco casts detect magic and holds it if there is an aura.

While others look for magic in the room, Kiwina looks for any sign of Pholus. He starts with studying the floor, and proceeds to studying the mirrors in and around the room as best he can from where he is. (survival = 43 to track; perception = 23)

Tsak has a quick look into the room while he listens to the others chat.
Does anyone have a mirror, maybe stand at the south side and shine it toward the middle when you turn the other three? There seems to be a gap there where another mirror could be?
With no more thoughts to add he turns his attention back to the corridor behind them and anything that could come bounding, sneaking or slithering along it.
Ooo, Look. I can see myself. (DM Mark) MAP Tuesday September 28th, 2021 12:51:42 PM Mak suggests avoiding the pile of gold in the middle of the mirrors, and thinks it might be a good idea to break the mirrors. Alternatively he suggests turning the three mirrors around so they do not face each other. Wil wonders if the mirrors in this place might be portals. Falco wonders if the mirrors could be a means of communication, given the writing on the floor. Elyas calls out a greeting as he tries to Detect Magic here. Rolth suggests finding out a bit more before breaking the three mirrors. He casts Detect Magic. He also calls out a greeting. Kiwina looks for tracks or other clues in this place. He can see that there are Centaur Tracks in this place. They seem to have moved around as well as toward the middle of this room. They’re rather hard to see. Kiwina can see that the carvings on the mirrors differ. Also, did he just see something move across the face of the furthest of the three mirrors? Tsak suggests holding a mirror in the southmost position may lead to something, since there seems to be a gap there.
Detect Magic reveals there is generally some sort of conjuration (summoning) and evocation magic associated with the mirrors on the walls. The same is true with each one of the three mirrors in the middle of this room. The magic emanating from each of the three mirrors in the middle is stronger than the general emanation from the mirrors on the walls.
Apart from the Petals discussions, the room remains still and quiet. Also, that pile of gold seems to also have some gems in it - forgot to mention that before.

Not normally something I would put with communication. Still that does seem to be key. Maybe they will summon who we need to talk to and if we get it wrong... explosions"
Falco waves his arms as he says explosions. Clearly this place is getting to him a little bit.

I like the way you all are thinking, plenty of good things to try. give me and Falco a few moments before doing anything just yet, please? look around thoroughly but don't touch yet. let's see if we can figure out exactly what we're dealing with or how they might be triggered.
Elyas will take 2 rounds to continue holding detect magic, then use spellcraft on the central mirrors if he's able to do it that long uninterrupted.

as he works he also looks towards the gap in the mirrors, trying to gauge if there was another mirror there at one point? maybe a setting for another mirror or scrapes on the floor where one was moved. perception = 22

Kiwina mentions that he thought he saw something move, then looks focuses on the farther of the three central mirrors to see if he sees it again. (perception = 20, 24 if it's a taur, so not as good as previously)

Rolth moves up, both to satisfy his own curiosity and to escort Elyas for a closer look at the magics if he likes. That would also better illuminate the scene for investigation. He will in particular look to see whether he can determine what the carvings on the nearest mirror represent, without touching them. While of course keeping tabs on any threats that might emerge.
