Tombs of Scoria: Episode 05

__NOTOC__
== Synopsis ==
Within the tomb of Hekaa, the apparition presents a trial of valor and courage, leading Tyrael, Anton, and Imrik into a room with a door that can't open if the monster, a large troll, is killed. As they battle the troll, Anton casts a protection spell while Imrik, doubting the troll's reality, casts invisibility to steal its key. Upon unlocking the door, the troll vanishes, and the apparition rewards them, emphasizing teamwork. They then face a corrupted cleric of Martha in a corridor, eventually defeating her. After retrieving treasures from a pantry-like room, they return home. Imrik learns new spells, Anton teaches a mouse a trick, and Tyrael spends gold to identify a scroll of wish, which a wizard warns him to use cautiously. The group then plans to acquire items from the Prince of Kronwikk.
==Recap==
=== July 18th 1511 ===
The apparition tells them the next challenge is one of valor and courage. In the next rooms, there is a single door and a monster. They can not open the door if the monster dies.
The room is 20 ft across 20 ft deep, with a recess for what would be a door. And Tyrael steps into the room where it looks fairly plain and empty.
Tyrael pulls his bow at and with his sword in one hand and bow in the other, he taps his way forward across the stonework floor. Tyrael tests the handle, and the door doesn't open, instead, the door behind them closes. A very large troll appears, as though it was just invisible. 
They start battling the troll, Anton throws up a protection from evil spell, they fight the troll with Imrik running around back and forth between the doors. The entrance door is magical, the exit is not. Tyrael is trying to restrain the troll from behind, whilst Anton fights it from in front. Imrik thinks the troll is fake, but can't quite disbelieve it, as it seems extremely real. As Tyrael keeps exchanging blows with the troll, Imrik casts invisibility and attempts to take the key of the troll, and after unlocking the door, the troll vanishes. Imrik gives first aid to Anton as he got knocked out by the troll. They've completed the trial of courage. There are two rings above them interlocked and corrode. And embossed faces, stone faces. That seems to be covered with skin. Tyrael grabs Anton, Imrik goes into the next room. The apparition women appears before them again. It tells them that every fight may not be a fair one, teamwork is key. She brushes her lips against Anton's forehead, as he comes back to one hp, though his mind is wiped of spells. In this previous dark room, it lights up, spikes running along the walls, and appears a twisted misshapen cleric of Martha, wearing full plate, with a mace and shield in the other. The visor on the plate mail, a face screaming in agony. Clearly, an evil corrupted perverted cleric of Martha. The room is a corridor with walls going rib cage high. Low ground in the middle and high ground on either side.
They fight the Cleric. Jumping up the high round fighting from below, exchanging blows, Anton points to his symbol and says there is a better god. They eventually kill the Cleric. The apparition tells them a job well done. In the next room, they can find their treasures. It looks like a pantry. Scrolls, potions, a medallion, and a mace. They grab the items throw in their backpacks, and haul it back out. They head back home.
=== July 19th - 31st 1511 ===

== In Retrospect ==
Continuing from last episodes puzzle the brothers face the remaining challanges of the tomb in form of a very high AC target. A brute force approach later they are rewarded with additional consumables which at that point provided the party with ample stockpiles they would use until the finale. The reveal of the wish scroll was a very exicting moment which worked both as a backup in case of a early death as well as a tool to potencially orchestrate the downfall of Scoria. On rewatch one might consider skipping this epsiode for it works mostly as a bridge between episode 4 and episode 6. weak 3/5 episode.
