MistBusters - A Curse of Strahd PbP

Adanmar Windblood

The Revenant descends with the others in the basement room. When Kasimir mentioned someone who died recently he smirks "Here I am, died, and here eh"

He spends some time examining the room (( Perception: 22))

From what Adanmar can tell, the room is fairly empty, these slabs seemed to be the only thing that the skulls were guarding. It’s essentially a closed amber room.  Perhaps they hold some value to those that would wish to reach these rooms.

Elwarith taps on the door "Well this doesn't seem promising.....seems like we might have to go back up through the hole...."

That is an option. Additionally, the doors may be locked, but seem that they could be pushed open with enough force. If only you had someone absurdly strong like that.

Adanmar Windblood

"Mhh....why the Skulls guard this room?" He touches one of the sarcophagi and inspects it

((I will give you two rolls: Perception [7] and Religion [2]))

Now, this important, which one? There is south, east, and west.

Adanmar has selected East!

As you place your hand upon the slab of amber, the darkness inside shifts and writhes like an audio spectrum.  A voice speaks into your mind.  If you had to place it, you’d definitely think “Male Gameshow Host,” “Hello, Hello, Hello! You’re speaking with Sykane, the Soul Hungerer! How would you like to have the power to revive anyone, and I mean ANYONE who’s unfortunately passed away recently? I know what you’re thinking, ‘Sykane, how much would this boon cost me? Surely, it’s worth my soul!’ Well far from it, my undead friend! It can be yours today for the low, low price of absolutely free! ‘Did you say free?’ That’s right! All it takes is just a ‘yes!’ No dirty underhand surprise fees! My special gift to you!”

(OOC - FYI I just enabled content sharing on here so everyone should have access to anything anyone else in the campaign has purchased - which includes at least the DMG, MM, PHB, Tortle Package, VGtM, and XGtE (which I all own) Enjoy! :D )

"I have no Soul to sell, even you would like to claim it, that's only Revenge and Rage, that let me stand on my feet and I swear, you cannot take them out from me.....so.....what can I answer? Yes!"

(OOC - does the door appear to have a physical lock I can try to pick or is it magically locked or just stuck?)

It seems to be magically locked. However, with enough force, could possibly be forced open.

Elwarith looks at the door.....looks at George....

"George....smash!" and he'll point at the door and smile

Haha, George knew you would and preemptively rolled (26). With the strength of the jungle behind him, George charges the door. For a brief moment, an arcane lock appears on the door, before stretching and shattering in the face of an orc rhino. The way is now open before you.

A hall is now open before you. Another amber door is to the east of you. Kasimir examines the door, “It seems that each of these doors are enchanted with an arcane lock. We need a password to enter. However, it seems that Mr. George is more than capable of forcing his way in.”

"If there are more skulls in these rooms, I'd just as soon leave them alone...."

The doors seem largely translucent, aside from casting everything in an amber tinge. From the looks of it, it seems unguarded. George attempts to push his way inside, however, the lock holds fast (4, 3). Kasimir sighs, “Unfortunately, this is the last amber door before we are forced to pass the statue. I hate to leave before we have a chance to confirm what these gifts are, but I will trust your judgements. What do you think?”

"Gifts?"

(OOC - I'm assuming we didn't hear what went on between Adanmar and the amber slab he touched or what powers it conveyed upon him?)
