Synopsis
e
Plot
Lya sits in front of Meph while she cries
Quill is looking at the statues, they are still our party and they aren’t moving with hostility and not moving even if you move away from them
There is light coming through the door
In the other side is a square chamber with crystal sconces with a door at the other end and a statue in the middle, it is of the person who is important
There is a depiction on the walls
A writing over the door on the other end of the other wall
There are also a series of depictions on the walls, of standing inside a clearing in a meadow, Quill doesn’t recognize the trees, there are no other figure depicted
The center of the room is a depiction of the individual holding his hands out to his side, his tail is coiled up probably comfortably
There is a circle twisting around the statue with like twisting magic lines
Short rest is happening
We hear the same slight rumblings in the distance like we have been in the past
In the right wall, a flash of light flickers and a gem sconce pops on and then another joins it a little after. The lights are tinted yellow
Dorian is sort of off in a corner with his statue and he is sitting, he has a ticking always but it becomes louder when he is thinking more, he is sitting and staring and fiddling with his wedding ring
Meph becomes aware of Lya
Comforting(?) ensues
Lya is confused
Daisy Daisy thumbs up
“I am feeling better, let’s get on with life… please”
Short rest over
Maeve detects magic
A lot of transmutation and conjuration, some evocation and divination
Ambient magic in room, enchantment and illusion, it is a very stagnant effect
Statue is not uniquely magical
Lya throws a ball bearing into the room (999 left)
It hits the statue and it bounces off and doesn’t change anything
Lya casts mage hand to scutter along the floor like Thing
It also doesn’t interact with the magic
Daisy Daisy enters the room
She hears a present buzzing in her ear then their brain tunes it out, it is still there, they try to find it but it doesn’t change
They take 2 pts of psychic damage, there is a sharp spike in the magic around them, almost like lightning in a cloud
It seems like DD said something intelligible then got damaged
Quill, Lya, Maeve, and Meph enter the room and Mariana translates the writing above the door
“Speak to leave
I have two tails”
When in the room you can hear that others speak, its just unintelligible
DD and Lya are investigating
There is nothing that is to be interacted with
Quill is investigating the floor and Aster arcana’s it
It is similar to a spell circle but it is not a valid casting, it is almost intentionally drawn to not have power with it
Its essentially magic gibberish
It is painted, it doesn’t even have texture, makes it seem like it is a later installation to the space, not necessarily natural to the space
Lya high fives the statue
We don't recognize the tree depictions,
Dorian gets a migraine
Dorian and Lya mess around with using coins and putting them on the statue and saying “i have two tails”
People walk in with coins tail face up and say “I have two tails”
Its a zone of truth essentially and you can only say the pass phrase
Everyone disappears when they say the phrase (illusion)
We are in a room, the door to it reveals itself when we say the phrase and makes us disappear to everyone else
