Crimson Sands of Time

You're goal is to get to the other side. In a minute those zombies are going to follow after you, but even if you deal with them you still have nowhere to go. The question is what's you're route?

Do you use teleportation? Take the left right or center.

Try invisibility?

Free-form stuff here, but every 'round', more hazards.

Piccolo charm save with advantage: 21 including bless

If everyone comes into the new room, Piccolo will play a few notes, creating an illusion of a wall matching the adjoining walls, (creating an illusion of a wall where this entrance is...(North stairway) maybe tricking the undead into wandering aimlessly with no target).

T wis save 14.  “**This slime looks… slimy.  and these beholder spawn… nasty.  Let’s get through quickly.**”.  Tetreveas avtivates his wings of flying and flies across the chamber.

Ok, so T is largely theough the cavern. What about the rest?

<also, if anyone wants to join the tie-in adventure, send me a level 9 character idea, class and soecies are fine, but mostly want to know what they're doing in the mountains, why they would explore a cave or search for an artifact and if theyre feom Oerth or Toril.  "Other" also works, but youve got to get them to one of those two>

"Alright. I'll set us up for stealth. Don't' you even dare of messing my tactics up all of you." Randy says as he clasps his hands and makes everyone (Minus Tetrevess who has already flown off) Invisible. With that done he'll gesture using small lights to lead the others to safety where the flying wizard now stands. (Action: Dash)

WIS Save: 13 (7 + 3 From Bless and 3 from Flash of Genius)

Randy starts chugging through the thick ooze on the floor (it is difficult terrain).

Make a perception check.

Piccolo follows, if she struggles, she climbs onto Sam and holds on. She weighs 30lbs.  Perception12

tetrevess looks back at the group, and makes a face.  Perception 18 in log.  “**sorry.. let me know if i can help.  I am not… err strong.  In any case ill help watch for beasties”

Trisk will use Malleable Illusions to change the illusory Sam into a 15 foot long boat and then Illusory Reality to make it real for 1 minute before clambering aboard.

"Quick everyone, into the boat! It will only last a minute but that should suffice to get us all across this room."

Kind of waiting on Randy's perception check, but.. well continue.

@Brian_Avery: You took a long rest. Did you make a new Sam/boat? I don't think it's invisible.  If it can be seen, even if the party is invisible, the hundreds of beholderkin will target the boat. If people are in the boat, they're still making Wis saves.

So, is there a boat, and who wants to get in it?

Also, Tetrevess is about halfway through and not invisible, so another Wis save is needed before next round action.

21 wis save 2.   T keeps flying towards the exit.

(ooc: remember I used a 6th level spell slot to upcast Major Image which removes the concentration limitation and changes the duration to 'until dispelled.' I saw the water and figured it might be useful to help traverse the room. If everyone has their own way across or it would be better to spread out against the beholdkin's attacks then Trisk can move quickly across the terrain as he has a Ring of Free Action and isn't limited by the difficult terrain.)

Trisk will move and Dash across the room trying to catch up to Tetrevess and find any exit from this dangerous and bizarre room. The many eyes watching are creeping him out.

As they try to move through the creepy area, Piccolo begins to play a cheerful song on her instrument (Countercharm) Her hope is that the party will focus on her song and not on the eyes looking at them.

At 6th level, you gain the ability to use musical notes or words of power to disrupt mind-influencing effects. As an action, you can start a performance that lasts until the end of your next turn. During that time, you and any friendly creatures within 30 feet of you have advantage on saving throws against being frightened or charmed. 

<I forgot that feature of the spell- I checked the class features but not the spell.>

Trisk, make a perception check.

Also, still waiting on one from Randy.

With his Cloak of speedy flying, the scribes wizard zips through the slime-soaked cavern, deftly dodging beams of light shining from the eyes around the room in a pulsing array that lights the space like a laser light show.

He's currently just ten feet from the south stairs that lead out of this cavern.

Ethan nods in silence, hoping that Randy knows what he's surely up to before he dashes behind him.

Perception: 14

Randy's perception: 8 + 1 From Bless

Trisk's Perception: 7
