[Encounter] Mummy's Mask Elegiac Compass

[theLumberJack]

Zanros ties his scarf around his eyes, and prays for the gods to send them a sign.

 

[VintagePC]

Presumably whoever used it wanted to do the same thing we were doing... find the cause? The compass probably told them the direction.

UNLESS.. it was a henchman that took it to prevent/hinder us finding the source of evil.

 

[theLumberJack]

Zanros removes the scarf from his eyes, acting in a surprised fashion. He turns his head to the ground and attempts to identify footprints upon the ground.

[Statboy]

You are unable to identify the footprints, but you do think you could follow them *cough take 10 cough*

 

[theLumberJack]

Zanros begins following the footprints. Guided by the intervention of the gods.

(Zanros takes 10 on survival)

 

[Statboy]

The tracks lead off the roof of the building and directly north, as you follow them around the half collapsed building you see why the building isn't fully standing. A 10ft diameter sinkhole rests at the north end of the building, and the tracks lead straight into it.

 

[theLumberJack]

Zanros hollers for the rest of the group. "They've gone underground! Perhaps the fools thought they would be safe from the undead in the bowels of the necropolis. Unless, do you think they know of the tunnel? They could be anywhere by now!"

 

[Hexalan]

Idessa peers into the hole, observing the depth, age, etc. of it, and especially how easy it would be to climb down.

 

[Statboy]

you can see the bottom about 25ft below you, though there are no walls leading up to the opening that you stand atop. The sinkhole appears to have opened up into a cavern. All you see at the bottom is a few bits of stone and timber that fell in.

 

[Hexalan]

Idessa mutters darkly and looks around the fallen building for something sufficiently anchored to attach a rope to, and does so, detecting undead before entering the hole.

 

[VintagePC]

/me stands fully prepared to orc-smash anything that tries shenannegans while the others are searching for a way down

 

[Statboy]

I believe everyone's had time to post preparations. Whoever is going first make your climb checks (DC 15) to climb down the rope. I have a map up on roll20 to the left of the Arena, currently the only part visible is the bottom of the hole. As you descend place a character token down there. Zanros and Idessa will have to keep track of their HP separately from the Arena battle.

 

[VintagePC]

IIRC my climb is +6 so I could take 10 on that if you want me to go first.

 

[Hexalan]

I uhhh detected undead earlier. Do I get anything?

(I can take 10 for a 22 on all climb checks)

 

[Statboy]

preparing detecting undead

No you had not cast detect undead, looking down into the hole and casting detect undead you do not detect anything.

 

[Hexalan]

Spoiler

lol i fucked up the grammar there hardcore

Idessa clambers down the rope, and upon reaching the bottom, immediately looks around defensively, weapon raised.

Aech will jump down, with his crossbow out, hopefully landing on his feet
