Jovial Jungle Jaunt (ToA)

While everyone discusses how to handle this trap Glimbul looks over the statue in detail. “It looks like the statue has taken damage before. So it is possible to break it”

Nenne cocks her head to the side, then looks at her new staff. "I wonder..."

Tossing it on the ground in front of her, she hisses, "Release!" and it transforms into a giant constrictor snake. The creature turns its head to face her, awaiting her command.

"Please destroy that shield," she says, pointing at the object. The snake launches forward at her bidding. 

The giant serpent goes to work attacking the statue. It takes a bit of work, but eventually, the damage adds up. When the thing crumbles, the shield loses its magnetic pull, sending everything scattering.

"Well done, Aoda," Nenne thanks the snake, bowing her head toward it. "Return." Instantly, the creature transforms back into staff form. 

Glimbul gets up brushing himself off of rust after having fallen with the shield. The then checks his bow, quiver, and the places where he used to have his rapier and daggers. With a smile turned bittersweet he shakes his head and looks to Nenne. “Thank you for that, I don’t know what I would have done if you wernt able to free me and my gear from that. With that finished we can destroy the skeleton and explore this area at our leisure”

Allister unsheathes his weapon and walks towards the tunnel where the skeleton waits. „That’s my kind of thinking. Let’s see what this skinny bastard is hiding or protecting.“

"It's waiting by the fountain, in there and has nowhere to run," and the gnome gestures to the right hand passage as he picks up what remains of his kit.  He pulls out a dagger wrapped in cloth and gives it a sour look.  "I guess it's better than nothing," he says to himself.  "Deal with the skeleton then, be careful with it's headdress, it may have magical properties.  I would heartily recommend drinking the water in there, it's done me the world of good!"

A large fountain crusted with moss rises in the middle of a circular room. Three marble maidens stand in the fountain, holding pitchers in various stages of pour. Clean and clear water flows out of each pitcher into the stone basin. The skeleton readies itself as the party approaches.

Having his club bounce on the palm of his hand, Lemon gives a little grin to the skeleton. "Ye ready to throw down undead?"

The skeleton rushes forward and leaps into the air, daggers poised to kill. Lemon bats the skeleton to the side with his shield.

Using his shield with his weight, Lemon follows the movement in making a 360 degree arch, raising his club in his hands and bringing forth his club.

Attack: 23 Damage: 9

The skeleton smashes to pieces, scatteeing throughout the chamber, leaving nothing else besides the fountain readily apparent in the room.

With the demise of the skeleton, Boosey begins to take a closer look round the room.

Lemon, reaching down and taking the skull, examines it. He looks to the group and gives a little smile and shows it to them. Afterwards, he stuff it within his pack, and continues to explore the room. He walks to the fountain and examines it.

 Perception: 17

"If you will permit me the time, I should like to inspect this room for any hidden magics." 

If the party allows, Nenne will spend 10 minutes ritual casting Detect Magic. When she's done, she casts her eye around the room and furrows her brows.

"No magic from the skeleton or the daggers," she assures the group. "Transmutation magic from the fountain."

After looking around the room for, Boosey can't find anything untoward or interesting, other than the fountain.  He looks down at the shattered skeleton, then back at the fountain.  "I took a drink from this earlier.  It felt like all the aches and pains of the day left me," and he runs his hands under the flowing water once again.  "It seems such an odd thing to discover in a place like this."

“I wouldn’t trust that fountain so easily. This whole place is trapped, why would there be a fountain like this then in a place full of undead?” Glimbul says while picking up and inspecting one of the daggers the skeleton carried.

Seeing the others scepticism, Boosey cups his hands and takes another drink from the fountain 

Allister slaps Boosey´s hands away. "Stop it. This is not some rum fountain, but you act like it is one. If I didn´t know better, I´d say you are addicted to this water." He looks at Nenne. "Could that happen?"

Boosey gives the fighter a shocked look.  "What did you do that for?  I've already taken some and it's not harmed me, quite the opposite in fact!"
