Dungeon of the Mad Mage (#9 PbP)

OU812 will search around the room and hallway for Stella-loot: 15

Ra'iik helps OU812 17

Mr. Biggs sends Wedge back to at least monitor the connecting hallway, but has him hang back there. The bugbear himself hangs back to harvest whatever spiders bits are left. And collect more poison if he could. "Gonna be alright there, Mister Dwarf? Looked like one of'im got ya pretty good." He says to Evrik before joins the other for the cold room. 

Survival: 6.

OU812: +3 parts
Ra'iik: +7 parts.

As you guys go down the cold hallways, it gets tremendously cold. The walls rise 10 feet, then angle inward, forming a pyramidal roof with a 40-foot-high apex. Inscribed on the sloped north wall is a 10-foot-tall Dwarvish rune that glows with a faint blue light.

You can feel your bones cracking it's so cold, you're getting numb, but that dwarven rune looks so interesting.

(Was gonna post but I'm not sure if we all need to do some check or what )

(will be conscious in 8 + hours)

As a polar bear, do I get any sort of resistance to this cold? Or am I cold too?

That's actually a good question. Due to the type of cold this is, I would say no.

Ra'iik suspects the cold is magical from the rune. He'd like to try and figure out if his Hunch is correct by looking at the rune carefully from a safe distance.

Arcana: 13

"I-i-ittttttt's t-t-too f***ING c-c-cold in here!"

It is terribly cold in here. Like being at the north pole in wintertime - three planets further away from the Sun. As your teeth chatter, you have no idea what the rune could mean, but it glows brilliantly.

When Mr. Biggs eventually catches back up with the others, and should noone mess with it or figure it out first. "Now let's just see what'cha you all found here? I would use one of my potent weaving for the work. But, I rather not touch it if i can help it." 

Arcana: 10.

"Hm. A toughie. Been awhile since I've had to play with runes. If anyone else want a proper crack at it, I'm gonna be over here." Biggs walks back 20ft down the hall, or try to a tleast. 

The rune is out of touching range. Such a pretty light blue. Nothing comes to mind.

Azrael is wary of the light, due to a certain dwarven piassa he'd grown fond of at some point in the past. Azrael would sigh, as she shivered, looking at the rest of the group, he would say I have a feeling we should turn back, Lythril and Danitriel are aware of this, but when we were in a certain place, A magicked wall had taken hold of me, and charmed me into what would have led to my death if not for.... Pheral especially, but also very much so Leon, whom you do not know.... Azrael waxed sentimental for a moment, before adding And of course some of the others helped as well, but I have a feeling this room may be a death trap. Let us turn back before we become iced statues. 

Azrael initially considered asking his orb to investigate what it could see, but decided instead to pray as he walked away from the cold room. Religious intensity: 1

Oh great Bahamut, if there is any wisdom, or insight you wish to share.. perhaps guidance upon our actions here, please, reveal this wisdom unto me.After his prayer to Tiamat was done, he would look to Alessandra, and remember the faint vision he had gotten....

I must inform you, Bahamut granted me a vision of your plight, though it was faint. Though I am unsure of which of hte pantheon it was, whatever it is that ails you seems only to be availed by the Divine. There are other things I saw that were less clear... (Deception to hide the fact he saw a certain demon lords symbol 20) 

Regardless, Azraels lids seemed to be closing as he spoke.. anyone paying attention would notice there had never been 'steam' coming from his mouth here.. and after another few moments, Azrael collapsed.

Arcana: 4

The cloak given to her previously was doing absolutely nothing for her now as she squinted at the rune, hoping that maybe she could understand it.

With Azrael’s words she grew anxious. Even if he seemed to not know who was branded into her skin it still worried her. She would blame herself mostly; perhaps if she hadn’t asked that stupid question he wouldn’t have prayed for her. How foolish she was in asking a priest. She should’ve known better. Should have thought of the consequences before opening her mouth—

“Az—“ She would speak but ultimately cut herself off at the dragonborns collapse. Were dragons sensitive to cold? “W-we should g-go, can someone pick him u-up?”

OU812 was standing right behind Azrael when he collapsed.  Immediately picking him up with gentle ease, he rapidly turns around and carry's the giant dragonman away from the cold room as quickly as possible.

Grianne touches the rune with her paw. 

The rune is 10' up in the air. Sorry, too high to touchie.

I'm a large sized creature right now. I can deffenently touchie the button.

Alrighty then. You touchie the runie, but nothing happens. *Sad bear noises*? =P

Feeling a little less than confident in his magic and say with the gods from his interaction with the spiders, Evrik, indebted to AZ for saving their arses looks the team over and finds that everyone other than Alessandra aND Biggs are in need of healing. Hee alms the good for mercy and help as he offers a prayer of healing. +HP 17

And everyone feels a little better.
