Starker sketches out the rooms and the passages as best he can on a spare page in his notebook and ponders.
Starker:”Comparing the state of the basement when we were last here and its current state, doesn’t it seem as though the whole complex has become more … organic. That thrumming is not unlike a heartbeat, and these tubes a circulatory system? It is as though we are on some fantastic voyage through the anatomy of a titan or a titan killer. Could we actually be inside Xathuul? Or perhaps in the vessel into which its reality eating spirit will manifest? We must not destroy it but rather study from it, learn its secrets, harness its power! … <looks around at The Company’s faces> …. or we could just destroy it.
“I fear, though, that our current modus operandi will lead to our being depleted of puissant spells and healing abilities by the time we get to the heart <titters> of the matter. Perhaps some stealthy scouting and conflict avoidance are called for?”
<starts to investigate the glowing pillar>
some maybe appropriate rolls:
investigation 20
arcana 29 (nat 20)
perception 9
Erbert turns and looks up at Starker, smiling at him. “Just what I was thinking! You know, great minds and all… although, I’m not too keen on letting this monstrosity survive. I have a feeling that it is not here for our good and future success. And I’m not so sure about our own abilities to harness it for our own purposes. I tossed that shatter spell at it to try and weaken it, destroy it… but maybe we should study it further before tearing it all down. Good to have a firm understanding of it before we pull the plug. Let me see if I can help you study it..”
Erbert walks over to the device and starts to study the tubing coming into it and going out of it, the electricity, discerning the purpose of this large device. A node? A control hub? Or the central location?
Investigation : 23
He turns and looks at his faithful hound, giving it instruction to go to the southern entrance into the room 30 feet away from him and alert him to the arrival of any unwanted lurking kaorti.
A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Other actions? Axis of Tyr?
Do we have a new map of the room?
The Axis is confering with Tyr, hold please for the answer!
Same map as the tower map was.
Under the Tower
Kragen moves to a defensive position north while our more puissant mages study the anomaly.
