(( Nico is good with a short rest as well. ))

Ember flits at shoulder height as they move back to the outside.   "A short rest might not be bad, though I won't get all my magic back until I take a long rest."

He spins in a wide circle before continuing, "A long rest before we open the puzzle door might be wise.  I bet that special crystal is going to be the toughest challenge."

So sounds like we are a good with a short rest, lets finish tower four, then take a long rest once we have the full key, assuming no outside factors of course!

You take a breather before entering the last tower.

Similar rusty dusty tower lower level. There is a 20 foot wide hall leading 70 feet into the darkness. At the end, there is a door to the right.

[OOC: short rest taken]

Grey moves to check out the door.

Perception: 31 (w/ Guidance)

The door is old, a little rotten and has a few small holes in it. There is a pull handle like the others.

 (( Nico rolled 1 hit die, gaining HP back to full. He'll also use Song of Rest, so everyone gains an additional 4 HP, so long as you spent at least one hit die. ))

EDIT: Since it still wasn't showing, I'll try again... everyone gets an extra 2 HP.

Razzec asks, "Can we see through the holes in the door to see what's on the other side?"

{{ Perception check - game log - 25 (nat 20) }}

When you put you head close to the door, some things spring out of it.

Please make a Dex save.

Razzec tries to jump out of the way

{{  Game log - Dex check - 12 }}

2 Rot grubs launch themselves at Razzec and try to burrow their way into his flesh.

DC 10 CON save for each or become Poisoned and take 3 Poison Damage.

{{ Game Log - Con Saves - 23, 22, 17, 18, 12, 20 }}

Razzec starts trying to smack the grubs off of his armor as he quickly gets away from the door in case there's any other surprises waiting.

The grubs fail to find purchase and are smashed into maggot paste on armor plates.

Nico made a face as he watched the grubs crawl over Razzec. Shaking his head, he asked, "I don't suppose anyone has a way to plug those holes? I can close a couple with magical trinkets, but the first would have faded away by the time I'd finished creating the second."

"Plug the holes?   Why not just let me burn it to cinders? Rot grubs are foul creatures."

"I agree, let them burn." Razzec says while nearly out of breath from all the frantic swat of the grubs that were on him mere seconds ago.

Nico blinked, then smiled. "Well, I like that a bit more!" He then took a step back, giving Ember plenty of room to get between him and the door.

Ember nods as he works his hand into his bag and withdraws two torches.    With a few quietly spoken words, the torches flicker to life and burn brightly.  

He will toss both to the foot of the door.   Ember concentrates and invokes Control Flames  - first to make the torches flames grow until they cover the entire area of the door and again to form what appear to be the shape of a pin or spikes which spear inward into the holes in the door.

Even a rotted door takes time to burn.  And there might be smoke.    Ember can use his control of flames and his druidcraft to keep the fire contained and the smoke wafting back into the fire instead of filling the corridor.

Once the flame has a few minutes to work on the wood, Ember will take a step back; spread his hands with thumbs touching and call forth Burning Hands  to seal the deal.

[game log] 11 pts Fire damage

Razzec stands ready to activate his Fire Breath on the door should any more grubs pop out.  "Everyone might want to stand back so I don't have to worry about friendly Fire, in case more fire is needed."

The door burns brightly and with a generous amount of heat. You hear sizzling noises and pops. After a while the door collapses on itself and beyond you see several grubs writhing on the floor. dying to the flames.

The room past the door is about 30 feet deep and wide with a stone pedestal in the middle. Atop the pedestal is a gemstone about the size of your head. Directly opposite is another door.
