November 2, 2020

[7:57 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, so, previously.

[7:58 PM] Trial of Champions: You all came to the city of Fang to participate in the Trial of Champions, run every year by Baron Sukumvit.

[8:00 PM] Trial of Champions: The three of you, Olenna, L and Osu were sharing a hotel room where you all met and agreed to work together, as you all had different needs from victory.  You also met another of the contestants, Kasad Taberack, who was in it for the glory and who L broke almost immediately.

[8:02 PM] Trial of Champions: Traveling to the trial the next day, you say, in addition to Kasad and the three of you, five other contestants.  Two barbarians.  One ninja looking little person.  An elven maiden.  And a knight.  You all entered and took from chests marked with your names as per instructed.  Inside you found three health potions, two gold coins, and a riddle clue.

[8:02 PM] Trial of Champions: L was also able to open two chests left closed, and you reasoned each contestant had a different riddle clue.

[8:04 PM] Trial of Champions: After overcoming the first obstacle (a large, harmless fungus that was filled to bursting with a deadly spore), you then met Plu, one of the barbarian, who had fallen into a pit in another chamber.  Olenna also collected a magic item at the other end of said chamber, a magic rope.

[8:05 PM] Trial of Champions: As you talked with Plu about where the other contestants were and how to proceed, you saw you alerted the two ogres who were around the next corner (as spotted by L).

[8:05 PM] Trial of Champions: So, with that all settled...roll initiative.

[8:05 PM] Trial of Champions: ...Also, don't forget to change your nicks.

[8:05 PM] Olenna: ((17.))

[8:06 PM] Osu: (Oh, right, who am I again?  Right.)

[8:07 PM] Trial of Champions: ((Osu))

[8:08 PM] Osu: ((7))

[8:09 PM] Trial of Champions: ....Caleb...you there?

[8:10 PM] Trial of Champions: @𝕷 Hello?

[8:11 PM] 𝕷: ((15))

[8:11 PM] 𝕷: ((Sorry rose texted me))

[8:11 PM] Trial of Champions: Ah, ok.

[8:12 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, the turn order then is Olenna, L, Plu, Osu then the Ogres go last.

[8:12 PM] Trial of Champions: Olenna, you go first.

[8:13 PM] Olenna: will try to grab Plu's hand and run out past the fungus.

[8:13 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok...make a persuasion check.

[8:13 PM] Olenna: ((24.))

[8:14 PM] Trial of Champions: He looks like he was gonna go knock ogre heads, but he feels you tug and, while confused and disappointed, is ok to go with the nice lady who helped save him.

[8:15 PM] Trial of Champions: So, in one turn, assuming you're running yourself and taking it as a given Plu will come when it's his turn, you can dash behind the mushroom and get out of spore range easily.  Although, I will need an acrobatics check.

[8:16 PM] Olenna: ((8!))

[8:16 PM] Trial of Champions: ....oh no.

[8:16 PM] Olenna: ((I was actually just going to squeeze past it like I did last time, but.))

[8:17 PM] Trial of Champions: That still requires a check, because the idea is it's close enough to the walls that it's not entirely easy to just go around.

[8:17 PM] Olenna: ((Okay, fair enough!))

[8:18 PM] Trial of Champions: ...As you don't carry anything pointy out though (you don't have like secret hidden daggers or armor), I'll say that you don't burst it, but you get stuck long enough that you only just make it to the other side of the fungus.

[8:19 PM] Olenna: ((On the contrary, I have 2 daggers, 20 bolts, a light crossbow, a crowbar, etc. etc.))

[8:19 PM] Olenna: ((It's fine, just roll for the poison or whatever.))

[8:20 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, roll a CON save.

[8:20 PM] Olenna: ((10.))

[8:21 PM] Trial of Champions: ((That's a fail, so you take full damage.))

[8:21 PM] Olenna: ((Sounds good!))

[8:22 PM] Trial of Champions: As you try and sneak by, your dagger catches the edge of the mushroom and slices open the thin skin, unleashing the spore, which fill the air.  You hack and sputter as they fly right into your face and you feel the damage course through you.  Take 8 points of damage and you are now poisoned.  The spores stay in the air, infecting the corridor up to ten feet across.  Anyone who comes through here will need to make a con save as well.

[8:24 PM] Trial of Champions: L, it's your turn.

[8:26 PM] 𝕷: ((Bonus action  first one of the ogres has to make a deception check))

[8:26 PM] Trial of Champions: ((14))

[8:26 PM] 𝕷: ((I rolled a 21 on insight which they  have to beat))

[8:27 PM] 𝕷: runs up to that one and attack with a rapier

[8:28 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, roll to attack

[8:28 PM] 𝕷: ((20))

[8:28 PM] 𝕷: ((Not natural))

[8:29 PM] Trial of Champions: That hits.

[8:30 PM] Trial of Champions: Roll damage.

[8:32 PM] 𝕷: ((21))

[8:33 PM] Trial of Champions: Shit, ok.

[8:34 PM] Trial of Champions: You cut a nasty gash into his side with your rapier and he calls out in pain.  But is still standing.

[8:34 PM] 𝕷: (( I got sneak attack))

[8:34 PM] Trial of Champions: Is that your turn?

[8:34 PM] 𝕷: Yeah I burned my bonus action

[8:34 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok.  It's Plu's turn.

[8:35 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu is following Olenna, so he's gonna run right into the spore cloud.

[8:35 PM] Trial of Champions: And with a 10, he will also fail his CON save.

[8:36 PM] Trial of Champions: He will also take 8 points of damage and is poisoned.  But, he will try and carry Olenna back, if you will allow him.

[8:38 PM] Trial of Champions: @Olenna Will you let Plu pull you out of the cloud?

[8:38 PM] Olenna: does, yes.

[8:38 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, he pulls you back.

[8:39 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "...huh....I thought there was a mushroom there.  ...that's weird."

[8:39 PM] Trial of Champions: @Osu It is your turn.

[8:39 PM] Olenna: I popped it.

[8:40 PM] Osu: shoots one of the Ogres, the uninjured one.

[8:40 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, roll to attack.

[8:41 PM] Osu: ((10 and 12.  That'll teach me to be too lazy to pull out my dice.))

[8:41 PM] Olenna: ((For the love of god get your meatspace dice.))

[8:41 PM] Trial of Champions: The 10 misses, I'm afraid.  But the 12 does make contact.

[8:42 PM] Osu: ((I'm gonna.))

[8:42 PM] Osu: (6 damage.)

[8:43 PM] Trial of Champions: The bolt sticks in the creatures hide and he lets out a low groan.

[8:43 PM] Trial of Champions: Anything else?

[8:44 PM] Osu: (That's it.)

[8:44 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, then it's time for the ogres to go.

[8:45 PM] Trial of Champions: The more injured one's gonna go for L, while the other will go for Osu, since they're mad.  L, you will get an attack of opportunity on the one going for Osu, though.

[8:45 PM] Trial of Champions: No sneak attack, though.

[8:46 PM] 𝕷: ((That would burn my reaction right?))

[8:34 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok.  It's Plu's turn.

[8:35 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu is following Olenna, so he's gonna run right into the spore cloud.

[8:35 PM] Trial of Champions: And with a 10, he will also fail his CON save.

[8:36 PM] Trial of Champions: He will also take 8 points of damage and is poisoned.  But, he will try and carry Olenna back, if you will allow him.

[8:38 PM] Trial of Champions: @Olenna Will you let Plu pull you out of the cloud?

[8:38 PM] Olenna: does, yes.

[8:38 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, he pulls you back.

[8:39 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "...huh....I thought there was a mushroom there.  ...that's weird."

[8:39 PM] Trial of Champions: @Osu It is your turn.

[8:39 PM] Olenna: I popped it.

[8:40 PM] Osu: shoots one of the Ogres, the uninjured one.

[8:40 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, roll to attack.

[8:41 PM] Osu: ((10 and 12.  That'll teach me to be too lazy to pull out my dice.))

[8:41 PM] Olenna: ((For the love of god get your meatspace dice.))

[8:41 PM] Trial of Champions: The 10 misses, I'm afraid.  But the 12 does make contact.

[8:42 PM] Osu: ((I'm gonna.))

[8:42 PM] Osu: (6 damage.)

[8:43 PM] Trial of Champions: The bolt sticks in the creatures hide and he lets out a low groan.

[8:43 PM] Trial of Champions: Anything else?

[8:44 PM] Osu: (That's it.)

[8:44 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, then it's time for the ogres to go.

[8:45 PM] Trial of Champions: The more injured one's gonna go for L, while the other will go for Osu, since they're mad.  L, you will get an attack of opportunity on the one going for Osu, though.

[8:45 PM] Trial of Champions: No sneak attack, though.

[8:46 PM] 𝕷: ((That would burn my reaction right?))

[8:46 PM] Trial of Champions: ((It would))

[8:46 PM] 𝕷: ((That’s fine 23))

[8:46 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, roll damage.

[8:46 PM] 𝕷: (7)

[8:46 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok.  You cut into him a bit more.

[8:47 PM] Trial of Champions: But now one will attack you, and the other attacks Osu.

[8:47 PM] Trial of Champions: ...and they roll shit, man.

[8:47 PM] Trial of Champions: So, it's a 15 to hit L and a 10 to hit Osu.

[8:48 PM] Trial of Champions: Do those hit?

[8:48 PM] Osu: ((Nope.)

[8:48 PM] 𝕷: ((15 is my AC))

[8:49 PM] Trial of Champions: Then I am afraid that just hits.

[8:49 PM] Trial of Champions: L, you take 13 points of damage from the club coming down on you

[8:49 PM] 𝕷: ((Should have saved my reaction))

[8:50 PM] Trial of Champions: Olenna, back to your turn.  You are still poisoned, so any attack will be at disadvantage.

[8:50 PM] Olenna: casts Silent Image and creates the image of a large spider coming down in front of the ogres.

[8:51 PM] Trial of Champions: ((What's your spell DC?))

[8:51 PM] Olenna: ((16.))

[8:52 PM] Trial of Champions: The ogre that was on L sees it and panics and dives back.  The other one jumps initially...but then seems...suspicious of it.  That guy doesn't seem as fooled.  Is there a particular direction you want to send the scared one running?

[8:54 PM] Trial of Champions: As a reminder, there's the open door to the pit, which I don't think you can send him down.  You can force him down the back hallway, or through another door on the right side.

[8:55 PM] Olenna: wants to send him running into the fungus cloud.

[8:56 PM] Trial of Champions: Oh, ok!  You can.  I will also say that Plu and Osu get attacks of opportunity with a melee weapon, if you want to use it, Osu.

[8:56 PM] Trial of Champions: ....Plu's doesn't matter, cause he rolled a nat 1 to hit it.

[8:58 PM] Osu: stabs him with the big blade on his crossbow.

[8:58 PM] Osu: ((15 to hit, 8 to damage.))

[8:59 PM] Trial of Champions: That hits and he takes the damage.

[8:59 PM] Trial of Champions: Running into the cloud, he has to make a CON save

[8:59 PM] Trial of Champions: And of course he's the one who saves.

[8:59 PM] Trial of Champions: So, he takes 3 points of damage from the spores, but is not poisoned.

[9:00 PM] Trial of Champions: Do you do anything else this turn, Olenna?

[9:00 PM] Osu: ((So they ran on Olenna's turn and not theirs?))

[9:00 PM] Trial of Champions: He did.  Sorry, I may have jumped the gun.

[9:00 PM] Osu: ((IT's fine, just keeping things straight.))

[9:01 PM] Trial of Champions: Sorry about that.  I'll keep that straight next time.

[9:02 PM] Trial of Champions: @Olenna Is that your turn?

[9:03 PM] Olenna: ((Yep!))

[9:03 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, L.  You're up.

[9:04 PM] 𝕷: will switch targets to the closer one((he has to make a deception check beating a 16 this time))

[9:04 PM] Trial of Champions: ((13, so nope))

[9:05 PM] 𝕷: ((16 to hit))

[9:05 PM] Trial of Champions: That hits, roll damage.

[9:05 PM] 𝕷: ((25))

[9:06 PM] Trial of Champions: He howls in pain.  He's clearly hurt, but still standing.

[9:06 PM] 𝕷: ((That’s my turn))

[9:06 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu will go now.

[9:06 PM] Trial of Champions: He'll also attack the one on Osu.

[9:07 PM] Trial of Champions: First he'll bonus action to rage, though.

[9:08 PM] Trial of Champions: He sadly loses the nat 20, cause poisoned, but he'll still hit.

[9:09 PM] Trial of Champions: Actually, wait.

[9:09 PM] Trial of Champions: He was raging.

[9:09 PM] Trial of Champions: So he evened out.

[9:09 PM] Trial of Champions: So he does get a nat 20.

[9:10 PM] Trial of Champions: With a swing of the axe he cleaves through the ogre's side and sends it to the ground, dead.

[9:10 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu then continues chopping to be sure.

[9:11 PM] Trial of Champions: Osu, it's your turn.  There's still another one around the corner in the spore cloud.

[9:12 PM] Trial of Champions: @Osu

[9:12 PM] Osu: ((Can I see him?))

[9:13 PM] Trial of Champions: You can move to a position where you can and not be poisoned.

[9:13 PM] Osu: shoots.

[9:14 PM] Osu: ((10 and 9.  It's going to be one of those nights.))

[9:14 PM] Trial of Champions: Yeah, those both miss sadly.  The spores just heavy enough to obscure your view.

[9:15 PM] Trial of Champions: He already spent his turn running cause I forgot how fear works, but I'll say he'll take a dash action and keeps running.  It's then that you'd hear more screaming from further down the corridor, but even with dark vision, it's too hard in the dark and through the spores to see what happened.

[9:16 PM] Trial of Champions: It'll go back to Olenna, do you guys want to pursue the ogre or just move forward?

[9:16 PM] Olenna: thinks they should probably move forward.

[9:17 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, I'll end initiative for now then.

[9:17 PM] Trial of Champions: You guys may decide what to do.

[9:17 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu gets between Olenna and the spider.  "Fear not, my lady!  I will handle this beast!"

[9:17 PM] Olenna: ... what b... oh, the spider.

[9:18 PM] Olenna: waves a hand and disappears the spider.

[9:18 PM] Olenna: pats Plu on the shoulder, though.

[9:18 PM] Olenna: Thank you.

[9:18 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "By the gods...truly you are a powerful mage to banish such a creature."(edited)

[9:18 PM] 𝕷: will watch the other ogre run and pull a small pastry out of her bag and start eating.

[9:18 PM] Trial of Champions: ((Sorry.))

[9:19 PM] Trial of Champions: The pastry is delicious.

[9:19 PM] Olenna: It was an illusion I created, Plu. But thank you.

[9:20 PM] 𝕷: will carefully look down the corridor the ogres came from

[9:20 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "Ah.  Very clever.  Thank you, mage."

[9:20 PM] Olenna: smiles at him.

[9:20 PM] Trial of Champions: L, roll perception.

[9:20 PM] Olenna: Shall we continue?

[9:21 PM] 𝕷: (28)

[9:22 PM] Trial of Champions: L Looking down the dark corridor, you will see another door on the right side of the hallway.  And you think you hear the muffled sounds of a combat at the far side of the corridor and the groans of someone in pain, but it's too dark and too far to see all the way down.

[9:23 PM] 𝕷: That is why we are here, I believe.

[9:23 PM] Trial of Champions: ((Also, after a minute, as neither you nor Plu spent too long in the cloud, you are no longer poisoned.))(edited)

[9:24 PM] 𝕷: will head down the hallway

[9:25 PM] Olenna: follows L.

[9:25 PM] Trial of Champions: As you all head down the hallway, you will see a door on the right.  As you approach, the door will open suddenly with a loud CLANG!

[9:26 PM] 𝕷: throws the last half of the pastry at the doorway

[9:26 PM] Trial of Champions: Nothing happens.

[9:27 PM] 𝕷: looks in while staying out of the room

[9:28 PM] Olenna: makes sure Osu and Plu are with them.

[9:28 PM] Osu: is.

[9:28 PM] Trial of Champions: As you peer in, you will see three things.  First, to the immediate right of the door is a corpse.  Not a human corpse, but a humanoid reptile of some kind with a serpent like head and long tail.  It's pinned to the wall by a trap, which seems to have gone off by accident.  It's dressed only in a loincloth with a large axe lying on the ground by it's now limp arm.

[9:29 PM] Trial of Champions: The second thing you notice is a bright silver chalice, seemingly filled with a bright red liquid.  It's lying on a table in a recess at the far side of the chamber.

[9:30 PM] Trial of Champions: Lastly, you notice a very small passage in the wall on the far side where one of the stones used in it's construction has been removed.

[9:30 PM] 𝕷: will pick up her pastry and check for any other traps in the room

[9:31 PM] Olenna: ((Anything I can roll to recognize the serpent head tail creature?))

[9:31 PM] Trial of Champions: Roll investigation with adv.

[9:31 PM] Trial of Champions: Olenna, you can roll me either an arcana check or a history check.

[9:31 PM] 𝕷: ((26))

[9:31 PM] Trial of Champions: Or religion, actually.

[9:32 PM] Osu: looks around.

[9:33 PM] Trial of Champions: L You spy another trap beneath the goblet.  If you take the goblet, it will release a pressure pad beneath it.

[9:33 PM] Olenna: ((14, unless I have advantage, in which case, 21.))

[9:34 PM] Olenna: will also Detect Magic on all of it.

[9:34 PM] 𝕷: searches the corpse

[9:35 PM] 𝕷: waves at the cup with the remaining pastry “do we want that?”

[9:36 PM] Olenna: I am not sure. One moment.

[9:36 PM] Trial of Champions: Olenna you do recognize it.  It's a Yuan-Ti male.  Very rare, these days, but this abberation species were once known to populate this area before the lords of Chiang-Mai took over and established Fang.  They were created by priestesses known to worship old serpent gods now long dead.  You also will see cuts in it that do not seem to be caused by the spike trap and your detect magic reveals the cup to have nothing magical or healing inside it...but you do sense a healing item on the Yuan-Ti's person.

[9:36 PM] Trial of Champions: Sorry, there was a lot.

[9:37 PM] Trial of Champions: Oh, Olenna, also The axe is magical.  It's a +2 magic axe.

[9:37 PM] Olenna: shares all of this with everyone, but cautions Plu not to touch anything quite yet.

[9:38 PM] Trial of Champions: So, you guys can all unspoil the tags.

[9:38 PM] Olenna: I wonder how long the Yuan-Ti has been here.

[9:38 PM] Osu: ((Aberrations are one of my favored enemies, does that give me any other insight?))

[9:39 PM] 𝕷: searches the Yuan-ti for anything on its person

[9:39 PM] Trial of Champions: Roll history with adv, Osu.

[9:39 PM] Osu: ((20.))

[9:39 PM] Trial of Champions: L, you find a healing potion on the Yuan-Ti.

[9:39 PM] 𝕷: (Basic?)

[9:40 PM] 𝕷: takes it

[9:41 PM] Olenna: ... was there a poem about a cup?

[9:41 PM] Trial of Champions: Osu As you know Yuan-Ti were made here long ago to protect temples.  You know they are practically immortal, unless killed and that they and their temples are rare these days.  If they're trained to guard a place, they will do so to the death and can be stealthy assassins as well as brutes.  This one seems to be a lesser one, though.

[9:41 PM] Trial of Champions: And yes, it is a basic potion.

[9:42 PM] Osu: relates all that.

[9:42 PM] 𝕷: Not clearly but we don’t have all the poems

[9:42 PM] 𝕷: goes and sees how easy it would be to disarm the cup trap

[9:43 PM] Olenna: True.

[9:44 PM] Trial of Champions: ((Based on that investigation roll, you believe it'd be a hard trap to disarm.  And as Olenna related...it doesn't seem to carry any magic properties.  Either the cup or the red liquid within.

[9:44 PM] 𝕷: checks the missing stone area(edited)

[9:46 PM] Olenna: ((We should... yes, hidden doors/passages check.))

[9:47 PM] Trial of Champions: The area seems to lead to a tunnel, but it's too small for any of you to climb through.  ...you also hear a faint sound inside.  A series of hisses.

[9:47 PM] 𝕷: So the lizard was a guard put here by the baron you think?

[9:47 PM] Osu: Or he was here before that.

[9:47 PM] Trial of Champions: ((Osu, would you give me a perception check?))

[9:48 PM] 𝕷: looks for any hidden doors in the chamber

[9:48 PM] Osu: ((18))

[9:48 PM] Olenna: Possible. Very possible.

[9:48 PM] Trial of Champions: Osu You see a set of small footprints suddenly appear and signs of a scuffle with the Yuan-Ti.  They're faint, but the smaller footprints seem to go into the passage.

[9:49 PM] Osu: crouches down.

[9:49 PM] Olenna: ((Anybody here speak parseltongue?))

[9:50 PM] Osu: Someone got into a fight with the Yuan Ti and went that way.

[9:50 PM] Osu: indicates the passage.

[9:50 PM] Olenna: How long ago?

[9:51 PM] Trial of Champions: Osu Seems pretty recent you think.

[9:51 PM] Osu: Not long ago.

[9:51 PM] Osu: Small footprints, too.

[9:51 PM] 𝕷: ((22 investigation looking at the wall around the passage for any secret doors or passageways))

[9:51 PM] Olenna: The small person in black, perhaps?

[9:52 PM] Trial of Champions: L You believe you see a secret passage on the western wall

[9:53 PM] 𝕷: goes over to the western wall

[9:53 PM] Trial of Champions: L You can feel an indent in the wall

[9:54 PM] 𝕷: pushes a section of the wall

[9:54 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok...roll me an investigation check first.

[9:54 PM] 𝕷: ((22))

[9:55 PM] Trial of Champions: As you push a little bit, you see a passage begin to open up behind the door...but before you go too far you stop, as you see the passage is also infested with poisonous snakes slithering along the top.  Push any farther and they will drop into the room.

[9:56 PM] 𝕷: Do we want to continue down the hall we were in previously?

[9:57 PM] Olenna: ... snakes.

[9:57 PM] 𝕷: I don’t know if we can all fit through this door

[9:57 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "I can kill snakes with new special axe."

[9:57 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu has picked up the Yuan-Ti's axe.

[9:57 PM] Olenna: They're poisonous, Plu. But you can keep the axe if you like.

[9:58 PM] 𝕷: The snakes are stuck for now

[9:58 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "It is a good axe.  Well-crafted.  ...and shiny."

[9:58 PM] Olenna: ... that seems rather cruel.

[9:58 PM] Olenna: Do they have a source of sustenance in there?

[9:58 PM] 𝕷: slips into the passage and looks around

[9:59 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, give me an acrobatics check to see if you can make it through.

[9:59 PM] 𝕷: (16)

[10:01 PM] Trial of Champions: You manage to squeeze through.  You find yourself in a well lit passage.  You see it lead down and towards a low chamber.  You can see the shine of gold on the other side.

[10:01 PM] Trial of Champions: The rest of you watch as L clambers off into a passage on his own.  Do you follow?

[10:02 PM] Osu: I guess we're going this way.

[10:03 PM] 𝕷: heads far enough to see what is in the chamber stealthily.

[10:03 PM] 𝕷: ((19 stealth))

[10:04 PM] Olenna: will follow.

[10:04 PM] Trial of Champions: ((Do you guys go in?  You can all squeeze through.))

[10:04 PM] Olenna: ((Her own.))

[10:04 PM] Trial of Champions: ((Right, sorry.))

[10:04 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "...I fear my mighty form may not pass through here.  I shall meet you all further in.  Good luck, new friends."

[10:05 PM] Trial of Champions: If you guys all go through, then you can easily catch L if she's sneaking.

[10:06 PM] Trial of Champions: L, going through first, you see a large chamber with a large golden statue of a fat seated monk with two large stone birds, one in each hand.  The statue's eyes appear to be made of emeralds.

[10:08 PM] Olenna: Wait, Plu.

[10:08 PM] Olenna: stops him from departing, hopefully.

[10:08 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "...yes?"

[10:09 PM] Olenna: ((Would he fit or is he just claustrophobic.))

[10:09 PM] Trial of Champions: ((...he might fit, but it'd be a very tight fit getting through.  He would slow you down.))

[10:10 PM] Olenna: ((It widens into a big room later, though.))

[10:11 PM] Olenna: I think you'll fit.

[10:11 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "....very well, I can try."

[10:11 PM] Olenna: will use somebody's oil lamp to oil him up. Not for, cough personal reasons.

[10:11 PM] Trial of Champions: ((...and he rolls a 20...unnat, but still))

[10:12 PM] Trial of Champions: With the oil poured on him, he becomes slick and slimy enough to slip through without pushing the door in farther and releasing the snakes.

[10:13 PM] Olenna: will wait until they all get to the big room and then presti the oil away.

[10:13 PM] 𝕷: will stop amd close her eyes for a second then recite "An emerald can be a fine sight

But when choosing, be sure to choose right

A golden mountain you should scale

But take too much and you’ll surely fail

And always be sure to keep your eyes

For the danger that flies"

[10:14 PM] Trial of Champions: So, you guys all enter into this chamber with the golden idol.  In addition to the idol, you see a small waterfall coming down on the western side and passages to the north and south.

[10:14 PM] Olenna: ... his right, or our right?

[10:14 PM] 𝕷: We want the right emerald and the birds will probably attack

[10:15 PM] 𝕷: I can check both one is probably trapped

[10:16 PM] Trial of Champions: You guys want to scale the statue for the eyes?

[10:16 PM] Osu: It seems like bait.

[10:17 PM] Olenna: It does seem to indicate we should take one, however.

[10:17 PM] 𝕷: climbs the statue

[10:17 PM] Olenna: And I believe a later puzzle requires gems, does it not?

[10:17 PM] Olenna: ... be careful.

[10:17 PM] Trial of Champions: ((Does L also remember Olenna's poem?))

[10:18 PM] 𝕷: Olennas poem required a diamond a sapphire and an emerald

[10:18 PM] Trial of Champions: ((Ok, this is important.  How does L climb the statue?))

[10:19 PM] 𝕷: investigates the statue first for traps or anything.

[10:19 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, roll investigation with adv around the base.

[10:20 PM] 𝕷: ((18 Awful roll ))

[10:20 PM] Trial of Champions: You detect no traps around the base of the statue.

[10:21 PM] 𝕷: carefully starts scaling the statue while looking for traps.

[10:21 PM] Trial of Champions: Just barehanded?

[10:22 PM] 𝕷: ((...yes))

[10:22 PM] Olenna: Shouldn't you use a rope?

[10:22 PM] Trial of Champions: ((A reminder...you guys also have a magic rope.))

[10:23 PM] 𝕷: pulls out the magic rope

[10:24 PM] Trial of Champions: As you pull out the rope, you find it keeps unspooling and unspooling, and, if you will it, one end seems to float up as you unravel it.

[10:25 PM] 𝕷: ((How far does it float up?))

[10:25 PM] Olenna: The rope and statue are both golden.

[10:25 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, I'll give you guys the details.

[10:26 PM] Trial of Champions: This is an endless, animated rope.  When holding it a character can spend one action to unspool it up to 60ft and have the rope take one of three actions; move in a single direction of the user's choice, hold, or go limp.

[10:27 PM] Trial of Champions: So, it'll move up to any height and stay still if commanded.  You just need the time to unspool it.

[10:27 PM] 𝕷: ((How tall is the statue?))

[10:27 PM] Trial of Champions: ((20ft.))

[10:28 PM] 𝕷: has the rope rise to 25 ft right in front of the stairs face

[10:29 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, and then you can climb the rope.

[10:29 PM] 𝕷: will climb

[10:29 PM] Olenna: keeps an eye out for flying bad things.

[10:30 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, with the magic rope, climbing is nice and easy and you can make it to the eyes.

[10:30 PM] 𝕷: looks at both to see if they are trapped

[10:31 PM] Olenna: checks with Mage-O-Vision, too.

[10:35 PM] Trial of Champions: Olenna Using detect magic, you do see the two stone birds hold a magic aura around them, one of animation.  The waterfall also has restorative magics around it.

[10:36 PM] Trial of Champions: L With your previous roll, the two do not seem trapped, but the right one you think is a real emerald while the left doesn't appear to look right.

[10:36 PM] Olenna: Both stone birds have a magic aura that will animate them.(edited)

[10:36 PM] Olenna: The waterfall has restorative magic around it.

[10:37 PM] 𝕷: Taking the eye now be ready

[10:37 PM] 𝕷: grabs the right eye

[10:37 PM] Osu: nods.

[10:38 PM] Trial of Champions: You reach out and dislodge the emerald eye...nothing seems to happen for a while.  But just as you exhale, those on the ground can see the two stone birds turn their heads to L...then you all hear their cry.

[10:38 PM] Trial of Champions: Roll initative.

[10:38 PM] Osu: (9)

[10:38 PM] Trial of Champions: ((....man, dice just...do not like you tonight.))

[10:39 PM] Olenna: ((5, uff da.))

[10:39 PM] 𝕷: ((7))

[10:39 PM] Osu: (IT's fine)

[10:39 PM] Trial of Champions: ...ok, so, unfortunately the Gargoyles rolled well and no one else did.  So the order is the gargoyles, Plu, Osu, L then Olenna at the end.

[10:40 PM] Trial of Champions: So, both gargoyles are going to attack L on the rope.

[10:41 PM] Olenna: ((What would I roll to know about Gargoyles?))

[10:41 PM] Trial of Champions: The first one hits you with a bite attack (I assume a 20 hits, anyway) and you take 5 points of damage.

[10:41 PM] Trial of Champions: Olenna roll arcana

[10:42 PM] Trial of Champions: The second gargoyle just whiffs past you.  But, L, I need you to make a STR save for me.

[10:42 PM] Olenna: ((20.))

[10:42 PM] 𝕷: ((Nat 1 ))

[10:44 PM] Trial of Champions: Olenna You know gargoyles are elementals summoned from the plane of earth and trapped within statues by wizards.  They will follow the will of that wizard until they die and elemental spirit can return to its plane.  They are completely immune to poisons and gases and resistant to non-magical bludgeoning and piercing weapons.  They also can only speak Terran.

[10:44 PM] Trial of Champions: L, I'm afraid that the slash from the first gargoyle knocks you from the rope and sends you falling.

[10:45 PM] Trial of Champions: L is falling from 20 ft.

[10:45 PM] Trial of Champions: But, with the gargoyles' turn over, Plu gets to go.  And with a Nat 20, he will use his reaction to catch L before she hits the stone floor.

[10:46 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "Are you alright, lady L?"

[10:46 PM] 𝕷: I am ...thank you Plu

[10:47 PM] Olenna: They're immune to poison and gas, resistant to nonmagical bludgeoning and piercing weapons and only speak Terran!

[10:47 PM] Osu: looks at his crossbow.  "Great."

[10:48 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu will set you down and use his bonus to rage...but then has no more actions.

[10:48 PM] Trial of Champions: So, it's now Osu's turn, I think.

[10:49 PM] 𝕷: So should we run or fight?

[10:49 PM] Osu: casts Faerie Fire on them.  ((DC 14 Dex save.))

[10:49 PM] Olenna: Fight!

[10:50 PM] Olenna: They won't stop until they die or accomplish their mission!

[10:50 PM] Trial of Champions: ((Both rolled 12 and failed, so the faerie fire works.))(edited)

[10:51 PM] Osu: ((They're glowing now, so all attaks vs them get advantage.))

[10:52 PM] Trial of Champions: Excellent.

[10:52 PM] Trial of Champions: L, you're up next.

[10:52 PM] 𝕷: pulls out a short bow and shoots one of them

[10:52 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, roll attack with adv.

[10:53 PM] 𝕷: ((26))

[10:53 PM] Trial of Champions: That hits, roll damage.

[10:54 PM] 𝕷: ((20 with sneak attack))

[10:54 PM] 𝕷: ((But they are resistant so it takes 10))

[10:54 PM] Trial of Champions: Yep, but you chip off a bit of the stone.

[10:55 PM] Trial of Champions: Olenna, you're up.

[10:55 PM] Olenna: casts a spell at the chipped bird.

[10:55 PM] Olenna: ((23 attack.))

[10:56 PM] Trial of Champions: That hits.  What did you cast?

[10:56 PM] Olenna: cast Chromatic Orb: Acid.

[10:56 PM] Trial of Champions: That'll work.  Roll damage.

[10:56 PM] Olenna: http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:chromatic-orb

[10:56 PM] Olenna: ((11 damage.))

[10:56 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, so you just cast at first level?

[10:57 PM] Olenna: does, yes.

[10:57 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, they are not resistant to acid, so it take the full 11 damage.  It's still up and flying, but not looking great.  Anything else?

[10:57 PM] Olenna: ((Nope!))

[10:58 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, the gargoyles will attack now.

[10:58 PM] Trial of Champions: One will focus on L, the more injured one's going for the lady flinging green death at it.

[10:58 PM] Trial of Champions: So, the first is a bite attack at L for 22 to hit.(edited)

[10:59 PM] Trial of Champions: It's 5 damage.

[10:59 PM] Trial of Champions: Sorry, mistyped.

[10:59 PM] 𝕷: uses Uncanny dodge  to reduce it to 3.

[10:59 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok.

[10:59 PM] Trial of Champions: The claw also hits you, though.  This one's just for 3 dam though.

[11:00 PM] Trial of Champions: The one against Olenna hits with a 23 bite attack (I assume a 23 hits, anyway), for 7 damage.

[11:00 PM] Olenna: ((Yep!))

[11:00 PM] Olenna: Agh!

[11:00 PM] Trial of Champions: But the claw does not hit with a 9 vs AC, I assume.

[11:01 PM] Trial of Champions: So, that brings us to Plu's turn.

[11:01 PM] Olenna: ((Nope!))

[11:02 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu will attack the in tact bird as he's already by L.  And his new axe is magical.

[11:02 PM] Trial of Champions: ...and he crits again.  ...this is a good die.

[11:02 PM] Trial of Champions: He deals 20 damage to the bird.

[11:03 PM] Trial of Champions: He then goes for his second attack.

[11:03 PM] Trial of Champions: That one misses, though.  Just a 12.

[11:03 PM] Trial of Champions: So, it's now Osu's turn again.

[11:03 PM] 𝕷: ((Even with advantage?))

[11:04 PM] Trial of Champions: Oh right!

[11:04 PM] Trial of Champions: I forgot about adv.

[11:04 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, now he hits.

[11:04 PM] Trial of Champions: For 18 additional damage.  It's looking rough but still hanging on.

[11:04 PM] Trial of Champions: Now it's @Osu turn

[11:06 PM] Osu: shoots the one attacking Olenna.

[11:06 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, roll to attack with adv.

[11:06 PM] Osu: 's swarm of fish follow the first bolt.

[11:06 PM] Osu: ((20, and 15.))

[11:07 PM] Trial of Champions: Both hit.

[11:07 PM] Trial of Champions: How do the fish work, again?

[11:07 PM] Osu: ((Adds 1d6 force damage and pushes or pulls what it hits five feet.))

[11:07 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, and that damage isn't halved, cause magic.

[11:07 PM] Trial of Champions: So make sure to count that separately.

[11:08 PM] Osu: ((Yeah.  So 12 damage total on the first one.  5 on the second shot.  That's taking in resistance.))

[11:09 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, it's basically on death's door, but somehow still kicking.  It is now off Olenna, though.

[11:11 PM] Trial of Champions: So, it's now L's turn.

[11:12 PM] Olenna: Thank you, Osu! And Plu, of course.

[11:13 PM] 𝕷: will slash at the one by her with a rapier

[11:13 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, roll to attack with adv.

[11:13 PM] 𝕷: ((24 to hit))

[11:13 PM] Trial of Champions: Hits, roll damage.

[11:14 PM] 𝕷: ((26 halved to 13 with resistance))

[11:15 PM] Trial of Champions: Even with that, the rapier plunges through the stone, cracked by Plu's attacks, and the gargoyle melts away to clay.

[11:15 PM] Trial of Champions: One down, one to go.  Is that your turn?

[11:15 PM] 𝕷: will move over to the other one and end her turn

[11:16 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, Olenna, you're up.

[11:17 PM] Olenna: casts Chill Touch on the remaining birdie.

[11:17 PM] Olenna: ((5 necrotic damage.))

[11:17 PM] Olenna: http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:chill-touch

[11:17 PM] Olenna: ((Also, there's a skeleton hand hanging onto the bird.))

[11:18 PM] Trial of Champions: That puts it over the top.  As the spectral hand clasps around the gargoyle's neck and squeezes it glows a dull purple and then falls to rubble.

[11:18 PM] Trial of Champions: End initiative.

[11:18 PM] Olenna: .... is everyone all right?

[11:19 PM] 𝕷: goes and packs up the rope and puts the emerald and rope in her bag

[11:19 PM] Olenna: ... Osu? L? Plu?

[11:20 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "I'm unharmed!"

[11:20 PM] Osu: I'm fine.  You?

[11:20 PM] Osu: Looks like it got you.

[11:20 PM] Olenna: A little sore. I can go on.

[11:20 PM] Osu: USe a potion.

[11:20 PM] 𝕷: is bleeding a bit and looks somewhat wounded “ I am fine shall we carry on.”

[11:20 PM] Osu: Or use the restorative waterfall you talked about.

[11:21 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "I am a bit parched."

[11:21 PM] Olenna: Ah, good point.

[11:21 PM] Olenna: tries the waterfall first.

[11:21 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu goes and stands under the waterfall, lapping up the water.

[11:23 PM] Trial of Champions: Olenna, as you drink from the waterfall, you don't feel less injured...but you do feel...rejeuvenated.  A new energy flows through you.  You may reclaim all spent spell slots and abilities.

[11:23 PM] 𝕷: goes over to the waterfall scoops up some water drinks a small amount makes a face then digs in her backpack

[11:23 PM] Trial of Champions: Also, do you have any fall on you, or just drink?

[11:24 PM] 𝕷: then pulls a Cup and some sugar out and mixes the water with sugar to drink it.

[11:24 PM] Olenna: will let it fall on her a bit. Hands, anyway.

[11:24 PM] Trial of Champions: Where it falls you see a faint glow.  Without meaning to, some falls on one of your daggers, which laps up the water.  The dagger is now considered a magic item.

[11:26 PM] Olenna: ... the water magics your weapons.

[11:26 PM] Olenna: dips all her other weapon stuff in there.(edited)

[11:26 PM] Trial of Champions: Things that are allready magic seem unaffected.

[11:26 PM] Olenna: ((Typo, sorry.))

[11:26 PM] Osu: shrugs and does the same.

[11:26 PM] Trial of Champions: ((Ah!  They are now all magic.))

[11:27 PM] 𝕷: dips all her weapons in it

[11:27 PM] Olenna: ... it restored my spells. I can feel them back in my head.

[11:27 PM] Olenna: fills her waterskin there, not that that will necessarily work.

[11:27 PM] Trial of Champions: ((You don't know))

[11:28 PM] 𝕷: dumps the rest of the sugar water “ useless for me then”

[11:28 PM] Olenna: It still feels good to drink, doesn't it?

[11:28 PM] 𝕷: digs in the bag and pulls out a cookie to take the taste of water away.

[11:28 PM] 𝕷: No

[11:29 PM] Trial of Champions: Aside from the secret passage, you see two ways out.  One north, further in, the other south, which you think would take you doubling back.

[11:29 PM] Trial of Champions: Or, back towards the entrance.

[11:30 PM] 𝕷: So we go North?

[11:30 PM] 𝕷: does use the water to wash some of the blood off

[11:30 PM] Trial of Champions: Your clothes are now magic.

[11:31 PM] 𝕷: ((Does that do anything?))

[11:31 PM] Olenna: Whatever you think best. I'm not clever about that sort of thing.

[11:31 PM] Trial of Champions: ((Depends.  You won't know now.))

[11:32 PM] Olenna: ((You glow faintly to me when I do detect magic.  ))

[11:32 PM] Trial of Champions: ((She will))

[11:32 PM] 𝕷: scouts out the north passage for traps and hidden doors

[11:33 PM] 𝕷: ((Yeah now everyone’s weapons will just glow to Olenna ))

[11:33 PM] Trial of Champions: Going forward, you find no traps or hidden doors.  You do, however, see two not hidden doors.  One on the western wall that seems open and another further in on the eastern wall that seems shut.

[11:34 PM] Olenna: Detects Magic.

[11:34 PM] Trial of Champions: Aside from your compatriots, nothing lights up your DM yet.

[11:34 PM] 𝕷: looks in the open one

[11:35 PM] Trial of Champions: Looking in you see what seems to be an empty room, perfectly normal save for the wall on the far side which is covered in holes.

[11:36 PM] 𝕷: ((How big and how many?))

11:36 PM] Trial of Champions: ((They are very small and you'd count at least three dozen))

[11:36 PM] Olenna: Arrow trap?

[11:37 PM] 𝕷: pulls some ball bearings out and tosses them hard into the room then ducks out of the doorway.

[11:38 PM] Trial of Champions: The ball bearings fly through and bounce off the far wall, nothing happens.  You may check the doorway for traps, if you wish.

[11:38 PM] Trial of Champions: With adv. too, I think, cause of Dungeon Delver?

[11:38 PM] 𝕷: checks the doorway ((22))

[11:39 PM] Trial of Champions: At a 22, you do not see a trap.

[11:40 PM] 𝕷: steps into the room cautiously

[11:41 PM] Trial of Champions: L, as you step into the room, the door moves to slam shut behind you.

[11:41 PM] Olenna: tries to stop it from closing.

[11:41 PM] 𝕷: tries to slip out

[11:41 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, how do you stop it from closing?

[11:42 PM] Olenna: ((Shoving the crowbar in it.))

[11:42 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, Olenna, roll DEX to catch it.

[11:43 PM] Olenna: ((Rolled a 20, so 23.))

[11:43 PM] Trial of Champions: Ok, L, roll DEX with adv to get out.

[11:44 PM] 𝕷: ((22))

[11:44 PM] Trial of Champions: L, with the crowbar slammed in the doorjam, you're able to slip out before it bends the crowbar with it's force and slam shut.

[11:45 PM] Trial of Champions: The crowbar whips back out at you guys, looking, frankly, a bit worse for wear.

[11:45 PM] Trial of Champions: A moment passes and then the door slowly opens again.

[11:45 PM] Trial of Champions: It's then that a disembodied voice comes from the room.  "Wow, teamwork...at this stage.  That's...that's rare, actually.  Most folks have turned on each other by now."

[11:46 PM] Olenna: ... why would we do that?

[11:46 PM] 𝕷: Most people who enter want the prize

[11:46 PM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "Steal their magic items and weapons.  Their riddles.  Use them as bait for the monsters."

[11:47 PM] Olenna: We have each other's riddles, and there are better ways to bait monsters.

[11:47 PM] 𝕷: And who are you?

[11:48 PM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "I am.....THE MYSTERIOUS DISEMBODIED VOICE OF ROOM #12!  WHOOOOOOOOOO!"

[11:48 PM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "....yeah, I couldn't think of a better name.  How about Jeff?  Wanna call me Jeff?  Kinda feeling like a Jeff today."

[11:48 PM] Olenna: ... are you really?

[11:48 PM] Olenna: Are you trapped alone in there all the time?

[11:49 PM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "Eh, not exactly.  I'm in kind of a pocket dimension of sorts.  I just poke in here when it's time for the trials.  Speaking of, how about this?  I let you all come in here before slamming the door shut.  Then we can do the trial and see how it goes."

[11:50 PM] 𝕷: What is the trial?

[11:51 PM] 𝕷: ((26 insight on if Jeff is lying))

[11:51 PM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "You come in and I'll ask you to pay respect to the great Baron Sukumvit by shouting his name with praise.  Then you get a prize."

[11:51 PM] Olenna: What do you do the rest of the time? Aren't you bored, or lonely?

[11:51 PM] Olenna: Ah, there was a riddle for this one.

[11:52 PM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "Not really.  I've got a wife and kids in here.  And I get to see them all the time cause I like...literally only work one month a year.  It's honestly a pretty sweet deal."

[11:52 PM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "Ah, I see some of you guys did the homework on this one."

[11:53 PM] Olenna: L, do you remember it?

[11:53 PM] Trial of Champions: ((It was Osu's riddle, if it helps.))

[11:53 PM] 𝕷: "Never let it be said of Baron Sukumvit

That bootlickers and sycophants he will admit

While the denizens are loyal to a fault

Empty flattery shall help you naught

So to stay afloat in this deadly game

Be wary when you speak his name"

[11:53 PM] Olenna: ((I have it pulled up, but Olenna isn't that smart.))

[11:53 PM] 𝕷: recites it from memory

[11:54 PM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "...what if I go in and smash open the holes?"

[11:54 PM] Olenna: I don't think that will help.

[11:55 PM] Olenna: Probably all we have to do is go in and say something truthful about the Baron.

[11:56 PM] Olenna: ... he smelled clean, if that helps.

11:56 PM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "...that could work."

[11:57 PM] Osu: nods.

[11:57 PM] 𝕷: So we want to try this?

[11:57 PM] Trial of Champions: L You get the sense he told you everything that's literally true...but that it's probably not the whole truth.  You doubt the Baron wants even true compliments.

[11:58 PM] Olenna: I think we ought to.

[11:58 PM] Olenna: It might be one of the other objects we need to collect.

[11:58 PM] 𝕷: I don’t think we should compliment the baron(edited)

[11:58 PM] Olenna: No? What should we say?

[11:59 PM] Olenna: He doesn't seem to be leveraging his tourism assets as well as he ought to be.

[11:59 PM] 𝕷: Criticize him or say nothing

November 3, 2020

[12:00 AM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "Just step inside and we can start this, guys."

[12:00 AM] Osu: nods.  "Let's do it, then."

[12:01 AM] Olenna: nods.

[12:01 AM] 𝕷: walks in

[12:01 AM] Olenna: steps in.

[12:01 AM] Trial of Champions: After all four of you are in, the door shuts behind you.

[12:02 AM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "Ok, so, you know the game.  What praises and honors shall you shower upon our great and glorious leader, Baron Sukumvit?"

[12:02 AM] Trial of Champions: ((As they say in Telltale games, silence is an option))

[12:03 AM] Olenna: He's not very good at marketing this event.

[12:03 AM] Osu: Baron Sukumvit's cologne is reminiscent of the aroma of beached whales, in that it smells like the oceans and also decay.

[12:04 AM] Osu: It smells like bottled despair.

[12:05 AM] Trial of Champions: Plu: "....he is...a poop."

[12:05 AM] Olenna: Bottled despair is more like... rotted apples, really.

[12:06 AM] 𝕷: He obviously has some ulterior motive to all of this that is most likely incredibly awful

[12:06 AM] Osu: Also he may have appropriated this dungeon from an indigineous culture and claimed credit for it.

[12:07 AM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "...........huh....ok, not sure this is exactly what he was looking for...but it's not reverence so..."

[12:07 AM] Trial of Champions: There's one of those lame party blower noises and confetti falls from the ceiling.

[12:07 AM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "Congratulations folks!  You win.  Come and collect your prizes."

[12:08 AM] Trial of Champions: A table floats down from the sky.  You see on the table four rings.

[12:08 AM] Olenna: checks them for magic.

[12:08 AM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "Technically, I'm only supposed to give out one of these things per day, but I've never had four in here at once before.  and you all did the thing, so...yeah."

[12:09 AM] Trial of Champions: Olenna you see all four to be magic.  You sense they are rings of +2 protection.

[12:09 AM] Olenna: Oh, thank you! That's very sweet.

[12:09 AM] Olenna: Rings of protection.

[12:09 AM] Osu: Oh, very nice.

[12:09 AM] Trial of Champions: The door opens behind you guys.

[12:09 AM] Olenna: Do say hello to your family for us. Perhaps you might look us up later, should we survive.

[12:10 AM] Trial of Champions: Voice: "...uh...yeah, sure.  I'll tell them you say hi.  You guys sound nice."

[12:10 AM] Olenna: waves at Disembaudio, takes a ring and heads out.

[12:11 AM] 𝕷: grabs a ring collects the ball bearings and grabs some of the confetti on the way out

[12:13 AM] Trial of Champions: Ok, so heading back out into the hall, you see the hallway continues north until it comes to a split in the path to the east and west.  However, before that split, there is another doorway in the eastern wall.  This one is closed.

[12:14 AM] Olenna: checks it for magic.

[12:14 AM] Trial of Champions: ((The door?))

[12:14 AM] Olenna: ((Sure.))

[12:14 AM] Trial of Champions: The door is not magic.

[12:15 AM] 𝕷: checks for traps and locks

[12:16 AM] 𝕷: ((30 investigation))

[12:17 AM] Trial of Champions: The door does not appear trapped or locked.

[12:17 AM] 𝕷: opens the door

[12:18 AM] Olenna: It's not magic.

[12:19 AM] Trial of Champions: You open the door into a large cavern.  As your eyes adjust to the dim light, you can see that the walls are covered in a green algae and running with moisture. The floor is strewn with straw. The atmosphere is warm, damp and fetid.

[12:19 AM] Trial of Champions: You also hear a faint squishing, writhing sound.

[12:20 AM] 𝕷: No poem matches this room to my recollection

[12:21 AM] Trial of Champions: Above the writhing you hear another sound.  A faint buzzing from above.  But you can't see the source of the sound.

[12:23 AM] Osu: looks around.

[12:23 AM] Trial of Champions: Looking in, though, you do find the source of the wriggling sound.

[12:23 AM] Olenna: whispers, "What is it?"

[12:23 AM] Trial of Champions: A pit, full of writhing worm like creatures. Some of the creatures are 3ft. long. The undulating mass of worm-like beings is swarming around a dagger that is point down and held fast in a crack in the floor.

[12:23 AM] Trial of Champions: The hilt of the dagger is cased in black leather and studded with opals. The blade is fashioned from a reddish-black metal that you have never seen before and is emblazoned with runes.

[12:24 AM] Olenna: ... should I try to pick up the dagger?

[12:24 AM] Trial of Champions: Osu, roll perception.

[12:24 AM] Osu: ((17))

[12:25 AM] Trial of Champions: Osu Looking up you see the source of the buzzing crawling faintly above on the ceiling.  It is a large, black fly.  It's eying you closely as you approach the pit, which you now deduce to be a nest of her maggot young.

[12:26 AM] Trial of Champions: Olenna With your DM still on, you can see the dagger is magic.  It is a special +3 dagger.

[12:27 AM] Olenna: ... or should I leave it?

[12:27 AM] Olenna: ((Is there a relevant check for it, at all?))

[12:28 AM] Trial of Champions: ((...I gave Osu more info, but he seems to be gone.  You and L can roll perception if you want.))

[12:28 AM] 𝕷: ((21 perception))

[12:29 AM] Trial of Champions: L Looking up you see a large black shape moving along the ceiling.  It appears to be that of a massive fly.

[12:29 AM] Trial of Champions: @Osu You there?

[12:29 AM] 𝕷: points out the massive fly to Everyone

[12:29 AM] Olenna: ((18.))

[12:30 AM] Trial of Champions: You see the massive fly walking along the ceiling above the pit of worm-like creatures.

[12:31 AM] Olenna: ((I mean for the dagger, is there any relevant check to know what the metal or whatever is?))

[12:31 AM] Trial of Champions: ((...I did give you a little thing further back.  Did you see it?))

[12:32 AM] Olenna: ((Yep! It's magic somehow.))

[12:32 AM] Trial of Champions: ((It's a +3 dagger.  It's +3 to attack and damage.  Beyond that, the material seems very nice and well kept.))

[12:32 AM] Olenna: Should I try to lift the dagger?

[12:34 AM] 𝕷: Sure though we might have to deal with the fly

[12:34 AM] Trial of Champions: ((I think I am gonna end here))

[12:34 AM] Olenna: ((Yeah, we better stop.))
