Dungeon of the Mad Mage (#9 PbP)

Are you in the cold room, Evrik?

Lythril pokes somebody in the back - twice. "Oi, what're we looking at? Why is it so cold? Is there an evil ***** in here?!"

Perception check 8

This is quite possibly the coldest cold you've ever felt in your lives. If any of you are from a wintery climate, back where you're from, it's a desert on a hot summer's day compared to this freezing room.

As you sit there and shiver, Azrael, Bahamut guides your inclinations to cast some sort of identifying magic on the rune to discern it's purpose. 

1 Azrael feels this inkling in his dreams. And thanks to Ou8's quick intervention, Azrael didn't fully succumb to the cold. It takes him roughly half an hour to fully regain consciousness, and looking to Mr. Roboto (Fully functional) Azrael would say, weakly... Bahamut has.... guided me.... see if one of the .. others... can... cast some... form of.... detection.. or ident.... spell.... Once again, Azrael passes out, the cold still lingering in his limbs....Azrael is once more, out for the count, just outside of the hallway, but it seems he may need more help... Azzraels heartbeat is dangerously low (thanks to that nat 1..)

Quote from Raiketsu >>

 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 21) 

Insight: 15.

(Editing soon. Disadv. for various reasons.)

Mr. Biggs didn't catch all of it, having retreated so far back in a hallway prior. And what he does following Az's collapse made him even less inclined to go back in the room. So, he'd gone back to the intersection to wait for the others. Assuming folk wait for the liza--dragon to recover, he puts together some spider gumbo and offers folk a cup full each.

Quality(?): 22.

"Sure, dragon buddy. We'll get right on that." Mr. Biggs says as Az drifts out again, then looks to the others. "So, back to the surface now, I assume? Least till you're friend there recovers. I could see to that rune right now, but he ain't looking so good. And Granted, I ain't exactly incline to go touching the thing, seeing as it probably doesn't trigger off animals messing with it. But I defer to you all's judgement." He says casually before taking a gulp of some top quality spider gumbo.  

Bearianne is indeed slightly disappointed the rune didn't do anything when she touched it. ans she is starting to feel a bit of a chill.

*Surprisingly cold for a polar bear noises*

Are there any ways out of this room other than the one we came in?

"I can cast Identify and see what we get." Danitriel said and then did as she said, magically examining the rune with her spell.

"Suit yourself. Though might want your bear friend there go give you a boost." He gestures over to Grianna before backing off down a ways to finish his lunch. Or would it be supper at this point?

No Ra'iik, the room is a dead end.

As Dani casts her spell, something terrible happens. As the Identify spell is cast, the moment it finishes, the rune goes out and the entire room flash freezes, as if for a horrible moment in time the entire room becomes a solid ice cube with everyone in the room encased in solid ice. Then, as quickly as it began, it's over, and the room is back to the way it was when you entered, except the rune is blacked out.

Anyone in the room at the time Dani cast her spell takes 36 damage, half if you're resistant.

*ANGRY BEAR NOISES*  Grianne uses her bear strength to smash the part of the wall with the rune on it.

Attack: 11 Damage: 18

Well shit. That hurt.

Ra’iik holds his head in pain. “Yyaaarrggghhhh!!!!!! Worst brain freeze EVERRRRRR! Curse this ******* room.” And storms out.

Azrael would still be outside with ou8, Azraels breathing was heavy, he was unaware of what happened in the room, even if he heard the noise, he couldn't register it.

Con save DC 20: (lol....) 16

Azraels heart slows moee.. his breaths become more ragged... he clings on for now. 1/3

There was a cut off elven curse as Danitriel was caught by the pulse of cold and was knocked onto her back.

Death save: 8

Standing over Azrael, trying to figure out what just happened to him, OU812 can hear further screaming from down the hall in the frozen room.  Looking up, he sees Danitriel collapse into a frozen heap on the ground.  Sprinting, he returns back to the frozen room and gently gathers her body up, cradles it, and runs back to where he dropped off Azrael.  Depositing her directly next to Azrael on the floor he screams out in urgent tones "SIR EVRIK!  SIR EVRIK!  We need you here RIGHT NOW, MEDIC!"

Soothing/stabilizing assistance on Azraell: 5

Soothing/stabilizing assistance on Danitriel: 16

...OU812 starts to sing a child lullaby, apparently.  That ain't worth poop.

Alessandra had walked out of the room with OU812, worried about their Dragonborn comrade (and also wanting to get the hell out of there). She was stuck in thought when she heard Ra’iik yell, quickly snapping out of it and watched OU812 rush back into the icebox room. 

“****.”

When the Warforged brought back Dantriel who was knocking on deaths door, she didn’t hesitate. Her hand started to glow a bright orange as she pressed it right in the middle of the elves chest.

Lay on Hands for 6 points.

She gives a worried glance over to Azrael then looks at OU812 (with a look of confusion since he was singing for some reason). “Wasn’t Evrick back in that room?”

Dani's gold-flecked sapphire eyes fluttered open and she saw Alessandra crouching over her. Realizing what had happened she smiled at her and said "Thank you." before getting up to her feet.

Alessandra gave her a small smile of her own. “Yeah, no problem, but, ah, you wouldn’t happen to have a healing spell for him, would you?” She looks at Azrael again. “I don’t remember if Evrick had left the room with us or not...”
