Yartol gets a funny look on his face at Trolkarl's observation, "That is funny. Why is this different? Perhaps the monkey should drink from the waters?"
Starker, after observing the results of Kragen’s experiment with the holy water:”If Cyrus dies, I will become completely exhausted and useless and then we will all die because I am sine qua non. That will be after an unpleasant period of anxiety. I would rather it be quick.”
Kragen, frowning at Starker's comments, decides to investigate further.
First by using his perception to look around the room to detect any potential traps or oddities (something out fo place). If all seems "normal", then moves to the back of the room and investigates or attempts to find this "so called" door the Mage sees.
Perception check at advantage = 7+6=13
Barring nothing detected, then investigates the "door" or for a door.
Starker:”Gentles all: I am as a giant refreshed. I feel as though I have slept the untroubled sleep of the innocent for hours and hours. I encourage you each to drink!”
Kragen walks back into the room upon Starkers call, looks at the artifact and then to the Fountain. "Well done Mage Starker! Do we have any idea how to effectively use the 2 artifacts? Could it be pieces to a broader puzzle we have not solved? In combination with these 2 artifacts, we have torches and..." Kragen trails off attempting to remember all of the oddities they have found.
"Maybe those are hands to a clock and the torches provide the temporary light in a set position?"
Kragen looks down at the fountain and frowns, then cups his hands, dunks them into the fountain and drinks heartily.
Chadwick looks on Starker thinking that people call him impulsive. He'll wait a few minutes to see if he has any ill effects, and if not drink some himself.
"That inscription sounds fairly mendacious given our current location!" grimaces at the fountain
*and yes, i had to look that one up. My vocabulary is not as diverse as Don's*
That’s the paranoia talking.
Chadwick hears nothing and opens the door. An empty room is beyond.
It is interesting that this writing is in common.
Almost everything in his tomb back in our world was in Draconic. We needed Xymox to cast spells to understand the language for the traps.
Yartol gets a funny look on his face at Trolkarl's observation, "That is funny. Why is this different? Perhaps the monkey should drink from the waters?"
Kragen looks to Yartol and smiles “Not a bad suggestion, Ranger.” Then looks to Cyrus and back to the fountain.
Steps to the fountain, pulls his holy water and begins to bless the fountain, sprinkling holy water into the fountain.
Kragen's holy water sprinkles into the fountain with no noticeable effect.
Starker, after observing the results of Kragen’s experiment with the holy water:”If Cyrus dies, I will become completely exhausted and useless and then we will all die because I am sine qua non. That will be after an unpleasant period of anxiety. I would rather it be quick.”
<drinks from fountain>
Starker drinks from the waters of the fountain. He looks about with an odd expression on his face. Then looks down into the fountain again.
Kragen checks Door #2, just to the right of the one Chadwick opened.
Kragen opens the door to find.....an empty room.
Starker watches and says, "You all see the door on the far wall of that room, correct?'
None of you do.
Yartol looks into the room, then to Starker, then back into the room, "Nope."
Kragen, frowning at Starker's comments, decides to investigate further.
First by using his perception to look around the room to detect any potential traps or oddities (something out fo place). If all seems "normal", then moves to the back of the room and investigates or attempts to find this "so called" door the Mage sees.
Perception check at advantage = 7+6=13
Barring nothing detected, then investigates the "door" or for a door.
Investigation check = 19
Trolkarl locates what appears to be a secret door on the back wall of the room.
Starker:”Gentles all: I am as a giant refreshed. I feel as though I have slept the untroubled sleep of the innocent for hours and hours. I encourage you each to drink!”
Starker:<reaching into fountain and pulling out a silver analog to the wooden appliance The Company discovered earlier.> “and look what I found!”
Starker holds a silver version of the mahogany stylized arrow found in the chest previously.
Starker, pointing through the door Kragen opened to the wall beyond:”Look, another hidden door!”
Kragen walks back into the room upon Starkers call, looks at the artifact and then to the Fountain. "Well done Mage Starker! Do we have any idea how to effectively use the 2 artifacts? Could it be pieces to a broader puzzle we have not solved? In combination with these 2 artifacts, we have torches and..." Kragen trails off attempting to remember all of the oddities they have found.

Kragen looks down at the fountain and frowns, then cups his hands, dunks them into the fountain and drinks heartily.
Chadwick looks on Starker thinking that people call him impulsive. He'll wait a few minutes to see if he has any ill effects, and if not drink some himself.
Trolkarl takes a drink following the lead of Starker.
