Starker:”My only hesitancy is that my way of Identifying the properties and conditions of a magicked item require that Cyrus or I touch it for the time it takes to boil three eggs. With a ward gate, the touch itself might set it off. I suggest you all retreat, and I will atay just around the corner and use Cyrus’ touch as a proxy for mine. His deatruction would be inconvenient, as I would be so enervated as to be less useful than you might want me to be until I had recovered, which with Cyrus VI took several days.

<Gives Cyrus a slice of mango, the owl’s eyeball, the prism, and a serpent’s scale (as he knows it is abjuration), leaves Cyrus by arch, cowers behind corner, prepares to start the ritual. Will proceed when everyone has gotten into position unless someone proposes an alternate course of action. At the first sign of Cyrus being attacked/in distress will send him to the familiar pocket dimension.>
<can’t detach Cyrus from Starker’s shoulder in owlbear. A little help, please>
The Company bravely cowers in the hallway while Cyrus The Courageous places a paw upon the runes. Starker casts Identify through his arcane channel with Cyrus. Nothing visible happens.
Kragen completes a Wisdom check to detect if the runes are truly a Glyph of Warding.
The glyph is nearly imperceptible and requires a successful Wisdom (Perception) check against your spell save DC to notice.
Perception check of 18. My browser doesn't seem to be allowing the auto roll so i used the App (which is posted). If the roll actually logged via the Browser interface, use the greater of the 2 that i tried to roll (adv on percep checks)
“I’ll keep eyes down the throat of that stair. If anything blinks wrong, it gets a bolt between the thoughts.” Action: Fall back 15–20 ft, dual hand crossbows readied. Ready an attack vs the first hostile that appears through/above the arch.

This does not appear to be a Glyph of Warding on the arch. But, there is something magical about the glyphs.
Starker:”Curious. The arch wards only against burdened with the Glyph of Greed. Unmarked entities may pass unltroubled.
”I am not so marked, I believe.”
<moved tokens back in rough order and staggered for when giant round rock attempts to squash us>
"I tithe a decent amount so I feel ok going through."
Chadwick waits for everyone to be at least 20' back before walking through.
Chadwick begins climbing the steps, the cool fog swirling around his feet.
Yartol follows, swords drawn.

Starker follows, EmFer’s Chastisement raised and positioned above his head in case the hard rain falls.
Starker and Cyrus, the Murder Monkey, ascend the stairs with Chadwick and Yartol.
