Wolf. While you're raging, you can use a bonus action on your turn to knock a Large or smaller creature prone when you hit it with melee weapon attack.
If we level up, I take the Wolf totemic attunement
I'd also like to try to figure out my axe a bit more. I feel there are things I do not know.
Simon N. (GM):Hi guys :)
Tony:Hello sir
Dagny (Kimberly):Hey Simon!
Simon N. (GM):>>I'd also like to try to figure out my axe a bit more. I feel there are things I do not know.<< What stats do you currently have for it?
Tony:1d12+1d6 slashing+1
Simon N. (GM):OK Ralf draws Uthgar's power from the axe, increasing its bonus to +2
Tony:sweet
Simon N. (GM):So +2 to hit and damage, d12 slashing d6 cold
Tony:Thx!
Rhennya:Hi all!
Phil is still in a meeting, should be out soon
Simon N. (GM):Hi Jelena :0
Is Jelly away this week?
Tony:Dagny can I get some healing potions?
I lik ethis wolf atunement
Simon N. (GM):Healing potions - a PC with Herbalist Kit prof can make 6 for 25gp each. Or you can buy from merchants for 50gp each.
Tony:Are there greater healing potions?
Simon N. (GM):yes
Tony:twice the price for twice the benefit?
Simon N. (GM):You can make 1 greater + 1 normal instead of 6 normal. 100gp to make or 200gp to buy
Rhennya:Ah, Dagny and I were working on potions together for half the price - or double the quantity?
Simon N. (GM):greater heals 4d4+4 yup
Tony:but costs 4 times?
Simon N. (GM):double quantity
cost 4 times & time 5 times yup
Tony:I'll buy 2 normal ones from Dagny
Simon N. (GM):GM: Kasumi has been summoned to Feathergale Spire by the Grand Master Thurl Merosska, to command the spire while Thurl goes 'on a journey' to meet 'the great lord'.
Tony:we need to unfreeeze her
Simon N. (GM):The weather has been mostly dry, but gale force winds whip dust down from the dry Sumber hills while lightning storms crackle across the sky.
Dagny (Kimberly):Yes, I studied up and learned Greater Restoration
Simon N. (GM):Dagny tick off a spell slot for that :)
Dagny (Kimberly):Ok, of the 6 new potions, 3 are going with Rhennya, and 1 to Sharatu and 2 to Ralph
Simon N. (GM):Kasumi has been de-stoned.
Dagny (Kimberly):Will do, lvl 5!
Rhennya:Rhennya has been flying up to the spire to visit Kasumi

PERCEPTION (10)
Simon N. (GM):GM: Rhennya as you are flying towards the Feathergale Spire you see several figures come flying out of a gully to the east.
Dagny (Kimberly):Flying on what? Hippogriffs or....?
Simon N. (GM):Wingwear
Rhennya:towards or away?
the Spire
Simon N. (GM):They're roughly following the river
Seraphus:have we killed black earth leader??
sharatu:yes
Seraphus:what about the pickaxe then
sharatu:we did that last session max
Simon N. (GM):In the stormy weather they don't seem to have noticed you as they pass behind the Dead Rocks & out of your sight
sharatu:oh yeah who gets the pickaxe
Seraphus:Idk
Not me
Dagny (Kimberly):Who does it make the most sense to have that?
Tony:we can't see the map any more
Simon N. (GM):hmm
Tony:just black
Rhennya:Could it be used instead of a quarterstaff?
Great, the map is back
Simon N. (GM):It's a Martial 1-handed weapon so nothing like a staff :)
GM: Do you want to assemble the group somewhere?
Rhennya:OOC I can't see Dead Rocks on the map, sorry?
Tony:black again
sharatu:i think we should go to the spire
Simon N. (GM):sorry it just goes black when I go to Sighing Valley map
sharatu:the air spire
Rhennya:I agree with sharatu
Tony:ok
lets meet there
Dagny (Kimberly):ok
sharatu:they're obviously the last cult and must be destroyed
Tony:just outside a bit
Seraphus:lets kick their uh... GLuetemus maximux/
?
Rhennya:But we are somewhat friendly with them as well.. we must be crafty!
Simon N. (GM):GM: Is your page black?
Rhennya:yes
Dagny (Kimberly):yep
Tony:yep
Simon N. (GM):sigh
Seraphus:instead of being crafty id prefer alive
Simon N. (GM):I'm going to try logging out & on again
Dagny (Kimberly):When we go, whoever is holding the pickaxe should hide it
Seraphus:BRb i dont have a dribk
sharatu:they'll love the story about how i got my wings after defeating the earth cult
Simon N. (GM):OK it was the Dynamic Lighting :)

Just trying to update my sheet. :-)
Rhennya:If Kasumi is in charge ATM, we can't just charge in...
sharatu:i know
well organise a feast
Dagny (Kimberly):As I put Edna in a stall, Do I see anything in the stall area that indicates anything going underground?
sharatu:for defeating the earth cult then strike as their gathered toghether
Rhennya:Or maybe we should just try to sneak underground...
that's where the cult centre should be?
Alani (Phil):Sorry to be late to the [party Simon. Is it possible to have bought some magical arrows beforehand?
Dagny (Kimberly):I have my one friend on the inside...
Simon N. (GM):GM: Dagny there seems no way down from the stalls level
sharatu:they're all evil cultists that will bring ruin upon the land
Dagny (Kimberly):Or did he go to my temple?
Simon N. (GM):Hi Philippe!
Alani (Phil):Hi! :-)
Dagny (Kimberly):My elven friend that likes 'em on the short side
Tony:we need to find the air node
Rhennya:You can say "boyfriend" Dagny!
sharatu:i walk to the gates with my new wings unfurled
Simon N. (GM):Magic +1 arrows 125gp each
sharatu:"greetings
"
Alani (Phil):I can buy 4 arrows! Thanks!
Simon N. (GM):Two Initiates open the gates and bow. "Hail Lord Sharatu!" salute
sharatu:i walk through
Dagny (Kimberly):(to everyone else) I was wondering if I could convince my friend to take some people and go somewhere
sharatu:"after defeating the earth cult i was granted these wings"
Simon N. (GM):GM: Where is Dagny?
Dagny (Kimberly):I'll come out from the stables
Simon N. (GM):"The Great Lord blesses you with Wings!"
Dagny (Kimberly):and join everyone else, if I can't find my friend
sharatu:"yes he did"
Simon N. (GM):GM: Dagny comes flying up.
Dagny (Kimberly):(it has been so long since I've seen him, I don't remember my friends name)
The tall drink of water
Simon N. (GM):GM: His name is in my hardback copy that is still at Philippe & Jelena's since lockdown!
Rhennya:OMG Simon!!!!
Yes, we still have your backpack!!!!!
Simon N. (GM)::)
Rhennya:Completely forgot....
Dagny (Kimberly):haha Okay, let's say I have a pet name for him. Dagny: "Is Longlegs around?"
Alani (Phil):Are you ok if we check in your backpack, Simon?
Simon N. (GM):GM: He doesn't seem to be around, but the Initiates offer to escort you to the feast hall.
(sure Philippe)
Tony:let's go
Rhennya:The feast hall is always a good place to visit
Dagny (Kimberly):Given my knowledge of the tower, do I see anyone around that is a higher up, or are they all initiates?
Simon N. (GM):GM: Up in the Feast Hall you are greeted by Kasumi and several Feathergale Knights. They seem excited.
"Soon the Great Lord will come!"
Dagny (Kimberly):(oh, before I left Edna, I told her to screech if she sees anything suspicious)
Rhennya:(to others: Who is this Great Lord?)
Simon N. (GM):Can you see your tokens in the feast hall ok?
Dagny (Kimberly):yep!
Tony:yep
Dagny (Kimberly):I knock on Kasumi's head to make sure it doesn't thunk like stone ;-)
Feathergale Knight:"The Lord of Air! Patron of our Order!"
Kasumi:clonk
Feathergale Knight:"Now that the false prophets have fallen, the Great Lord is coming to reward His faithful!"
Tony:what do we do with the tokens
hp, ac, and what?
Feathergale Knight:hp green AC blue is good
Tony:red = max hp
Simon N. (GM):Kasumi is glad you're here, but seems a bit dazed still from her recent de-petrification.
Tony:poor thing
Simon N. (GM):GM: Lightning flashes and thunder rolls across the darkening sky. The knight cheer.
Dagny (Kimberly):I pour her a stiff drink and pass it to her. And one for Alani too.
Can we see out a window?
Tony:I think we need to stop this..
who is doing the summoning
Simon N. (GM):The Initiates bring platters of food, lots of cured meats from Waterdeep, and fine wine.
Rhennya:Tasting a slice of cured meat here and there
Dagny (Kimberly):Did you say before there were any higher ups? Or is it all initiates?
Simon N. (GM):Yes you can see out the windows over the valley.
sharatu:"after defeating the earth cult i was granted these wings" sharatu excalims loudly to the knights
Feathergale Knight:"Hail the Winged Dragonborn!" cheers
Dagny (Kimberly):I raise my glass in a toast (but don't drink any myself)
Feathergale Knight:There's 7 knights here
Dagny (Kimberly):And say something suitably "Yay, air cult" so that they drink
Rhennya:I follow Dagny's action
Dagny (Kimberly):(I wouldn't mind if they got drunk, I whisper to Rhennya)
Rhennya:but chew on nice prosciutto slice
nods
Feathergale Knight:The knights eat and drink freely.
Tony:where is the lord to arive
I ask
yoda speak
Feathergale Knight:"Grand Master Thurl has been invited by the Prophet to personally witness the Great Lord's arrival in our realm!"
Tony:Where will that be?
Feathergale Knight:"The Omens are clear - this very night!"
Rhennya:invited by the Prophet... to...?
Dagny (Kimberly):But I thought Thurl had traveled somewhere?
Tony:Can we go watch?
sharatu:"we did destroy your greatest enenmy"
Rhennya:(to others: it was probably that group I saw flying past Dead Rocks)
Feathergale Knight:The knights laugh. "No, but you shall witness the Lord's coming! Soon he shall come with the Wind Host, to purge the unbelievers!"
Tony:crap
sharatu:"but we personally defeated ogramoch and his puppets"
Dagny (Kimberly):(I'm going to continue giving toasts in an effort to get the knights drunk)
(but not drinking myself)
Simon N. (GM):Kasumi explains that Thurl and a small cadre of knights were invited by the Prophet (Aerisi Kalinoth) to witness the Lord of Air's arrival on this plane.
Tony:We must join them
Simon N. (GM):GM: Dagny roll Deception w advtg

DECEPTION (1)
Alani (Phil):They don't need too much encouragement to tip over? :-)
Simon N. (GM):The knights drink and boast merrily and are soon very drunk.
Dagny (Kimberly):I send a barrel down to whoever might be in the barracks
Simon N. (GM):anyone got +5 Insight?
Dagny (Kimberly):yes!
+9
Rhennya:yes
Tony:Lets leave and go to the Dead Rocks
Simon N. (GM):Dagny you notice that one man is not drinking, but regarding you suspiciously.
Dagny (Kimberly):Do I know him?
Simon N. (GM):You think he's a kitchen chef?
Alani (Phil):A bit paranoid for a kitchen chef...
Simon N. (GM):But he's been hanging around in the Hall keeping an eye on you.
Alani (Phil):A spy?
Dagny (Kimberly):I take Rhennya with me, babbling about how much I miss Longlegs and go near him, pretending to be drunker than I am.
sharatu:that makes sense we are not even members of the cult
Dagny (Kimberly):I'm a member though OOC
sharatu:if someone came to my place id have someone watch them
Rhennya:I ask him if he's the genius behind tonight's tasty delights
(also acting a bit tipsy)
Dagny (Kimberly):"Oh yes, Longlegs speaks so highly of your mutton stew! Says it doesn't even slow him down flying!"
Simon N. (GM):For a chef he has a very lean, ascetic look.
Alani (Phil):... on the pother hand, the beans make me fly faster...
Dagny (Kimberly):"Have you seen him, by the way? What was your name again?"
Simon N. (GM):The chef nods curtly to Dagny, arms crossed. "Yes, milady."
"I am Hurricos."
Rhennya:"hurri..hic...cos! Cheers!"
Dagny (Kimberly):I burp as gently as a dwarf can burp. "Ah, yes, that was it! Well met, Hurricos!" I grab two mugs from a passing tray and give one to him and raise mine in a toast
"To Hurricos!"
Simon N. (GM):"Longlegs? Your half elf friend was honoured to join the Grand Master's honour guard."
"Thank you. I do not imbibe."
Dagny (Kimberly):"Oh, that must have been the news he spoke of. Well done him!"
(is he human? elven?)
Simon N. (GM):Human
A huge lightning flash outside is accompanied by a massive thunder roll.
Drunken knights cheer. "Huzzah!"
Dagny (Kimberly):I clink his glass, sloshing a good deal of mine over him (not so) accidentally. "We dwarfs do not have that problem!"
"Right, Rhennya!? Oh, my, I'm sorry about that!"
Simon N. (GM):He looks down, but doesn't seem perturbed by the wet.
Dagny (Kimberly):I take a bit of my cloak and dab at him.
Rhennya:"Right, nor wood elves!"
Tony:we gotta go
Simon N. (GM):Hurricos: "Enjoy the party. Very soon the Lord of Air will come to sort the faithful from the ...unworthy."
Alani (Phil):(gasp)
Dagny (Kimberly):(how long would it take to get to the Dead Wood?)
Rhennya:"Yes, we'd love to assist with his arrival
Dagny (Kimberly):(Dagny ponders how flammable ale might be)
Feathergale Knight:"From the Howling Caves, Yan-C-Bin shall arise! Once the Great Aerial Host is summoned, none shall stand against us!"
Dagny (Kimberly):I would love to surprise Longlegs!
And see him in his glory in the guard!
Rhennya:(Howling Caves... trying to remember maps)
Simon N. (GM):GM: I'll move you to the map
Dagny (Kimberly):I pull Rhennya back over to the others, making sure to stumble a bit. Whispering: Should we take mounts and go?
Tony:can I see anything with my eagle vision
Rhennya:(could the Howling Caves be in that natural bridge over the river?)
Dagny (Kimberly):"But we should avoid the gaze of that one. He doesn't seem to much like us."
Simon N. (GM):GM: The Dead Rocks are just to the south-east. Rhennya saw fliers emerge from Knife Point Gulley to the east across the valley.
Ralf you can see up the gulley well.
V3. Knifepoint Gully
A narrow fissure in the canyon wall leads through a gully choked with pale brush and shrubs. A swift breeze passes through the fissure. At the end, a dark, jagged crevice awaits.
Tony:Can we scan to see if we can see the flyers
Dagny (Kimberly):Any thoughts, anyone? Did anyone else learn anything from those drunken fly boys?
(I am sure to say this so that only my friends can hear)
Rhennya:I go back to Hurricos "can you bring out some more of that tasty cured meat , please?"
Simon N. (GM):>>Rhennya:(could the Howling Caves be in that natural bridge over the river?)<< You can roll History or Investigaton DC 12

Simon N. (GM):>>I go back to Hurricos "can you bring out some more of that tasty cured meat , please?"<< Hurricos snaps his fingers to a servant for more meat.
Ralph in a lightning flash you spot three human sized figures in the gulley, guarding the pit at the far end.
Tony:Let's go folks.
To the three
Dagny (Kimberly):I grab the most drunk appearing knight I can find and hiccup loudly. "Which window will afford the best view of their approach! I don't want to miss a minute!"
Tony:Winged suits?
Alani (Phil):I have one.
sharatu:i now have actual wings
Simon N. (GM):yes
Dagny (Kimberly):I've got Edna. Someone could borrow Kasumi's mount too probably...
Tony:Let's fly
Seraphus:I hav wing
s
Tony:bye y'all
Rhennya:Let's go! Great Eagle Wild Shape
Feathergale Knight:"This window is good - look you can see Knifepoint Gulley! The Lord will emerge from there with his Mighty Host!"
Tony:Thanks mate
Dagny (Kimberly):"Thank you! Mayhap I should go to my room to change into something more appropriate!" I hasten down to Edna, using that as my excuse to leave
in case Hurricos is watching
(since I have a room there somewhere)
Feathergale Knight:"The Lord will arise from the Howling Caves, passing through the Fane of the Eye and the Temple of Elemental Air, to at last emerge here, in Sighing Valley! And we are honoured to witness it!"
Alani (Phil):I also find an excuse to leave the room "These beers are going right through me"
Tony:ditto
Simon N. (GM):Hurricos sighs.
Rhennya:(I hope you guys are just tearing off your normal attire, to show winged suits underneath, Clark Kent style)
Dagny (Kimberly):(hopefully everyone else is dreadfully drunk)
Alani (Phil):I check as we leave the room that Hurricos will not follow us...
Simon N. (GM):GM: Hurricos remains with the knights in the feast hall as you leave.
Alani (Phil):(I take a sagger in each hand)

Oh geez
Simon N. (GM):Seraphus - fighting down that way will likely take hours, but if you were able to get to Sharatu's water temple you could descend directy to the Fane from there
Rhennya:(Is the air node underground?
Simon N. (GM):yup
Seraphus:ill go to w temple
Rhennya:Lets fly to the Water temple!
Tony:agreed
Dagny (Kimberly):Ok! On the way out, if I see another initiate, I'll send them down to get more barrels to keep everyone happy...
Simon N. (GM):That's 12 miles away, about half an hour's flight.

Dagny (Kimberly):Can I use my insight to see if our timing seems reasonable or is it likely we'd miss the summoning based on when Kasumi said they'd left?
Simon N. (GM):GM: This ought to be the quickest way, and give you 90 minutes or so... :) Apparently Chauntea is with you as the storm calms as you head east to Rivergard, Alani's fort.
Tony:lets do it....quickly
Simon N. (GM):From there you take the stream west upriver to Sharatu's water temple, then down to the Fane...
Alani (Phil):Home sweet home! :-)
Dagny (Kimberly):Edna, get a wing on! I'll give you extra treats!
(I had pocketed some of the feast...it's a bad habit, I know, but I am a dwarf)
I toss her a sausage as she flies
in front of her, of course
Alani (Phil):(music of the Witcher) Toss a sausage to Edna...
Tony:damn lighting
Dagny (Kimberly):I don't trust that Hurricos.
Tony:notice, I ate nothing
Dagny (Kimberly):I just pocketed stuff and spilled a lot of ale
Rhennya:That's a shame, Ralph, the cured meats were incredible! Almost as good as my own, dried on tree tops...
Dagny (Kimberly):I just see myself on a big black square?
Tony:I can see now, zoom out
Dagny (Kimberly):There's two of me, now I see the bottom corner
Simon N. (GM):GM: You descend once more into the Fane...
Tony:we had a map to go down to the air node
Simon N. (GM):can you all see ok & see your tokens?
Tony:ok
sharatu:yes
Dagny (Kimberly):We follow Sharatu, as he should well know the way now :-)
Rhennya:not the whole map
Tony:can we follow our map?
Rhennya:Is that one of Sharatu's minions?
Simon N. (GM):A low, thin mist clings to the floor of this cave, and the walls glisten with moisture. Several sets of crude bronze manacles are anchored to the walls, and three hold human corpses. .
A steady breeze blows toward a passage to the west, while from the east comes the distant sound of running water.
Dagny (Kimberly):Do they appear to be NEW corpses?
I give Sharatu the side eye
Simon N. (GM):past couple weeks, yes
Alani (Phil):Friends of yours, Sheratu? ;-)
sharatu:its a rust monster
Simon N. (GM):A rust monster emerges from the pit...
sharatu:non-sentient

Tony:shall we go west
sharatu:yes
Simon N. (GM):A stone pedestal in the middle of this cavern holds a glassy sphere about eight inches in diameter. The sphere seems to contain swirling smoke. Battered armor, damaged weapons, and tattered clothing are strewn around the chamber, but the floor within ten feet of the sphere is free of such debris. Several weapons on the ground seem like they might still be serviceable, although all are badly worn. Four swords hover overhead.
Dagny (Kimberly):What is the condition of the hovering swords?
Sharatu, do you know anything of this from your minions?
sharatu:no
Simon N. (GM):The hovering swords are in good condition
Dagny (Kimberly):Anyone wanna toss a stone in there and see what happens?
Alani (Phil):I can shoot one of my worn out arrows...

Rhennya:If I cast Heat Metal, would they melt?
Dagny (Kimberly):(I'm not gonna do it, but I have this wonderful image of Dagny making a running leap and grabbing a handle and then hanging in the air)
Simon N. (GM):You can try :)
Alani (Phil)::-D
That would look aweome!
Rhennya:Or I could go to one of them and try to grab it?
Alani (Phil):Like a medieval Mary Poppins!
Dagny (Kimberly):(I'm Mary Poppins, ya'll!)
Rhennya:So, it woul glow red hot but not be damaged
Simon N. (GM):yup
Rhennya:OK, what about Dispel Magic
Simon N. (GM):you can try
Are you using Dispel Magic?
Rhennya:
Dispel Magic
Abjuration 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: One creature, object, or magical effect within range
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Choose one creature, object, or magical effect within range. Any spell of 3rd level or lower on the target ends. For each spell of 4th level or higher on the target, make an ability check using your spellcasting ability. The DC equals 10 + the spell’s level. On a successful check, the spell ends.
At Higher LevelsWhen you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you automatically end the effects of a spell on the target if the spell's level is equal to or less than the level of the spell slot you used.
Simon N. (GM):Antimagic Susceptibility. The sword is incapacitated while in the area of an antimagic field. If targeted by dispel magic, the sword must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against the caster's spell save DC or fall unconscious...

Rhennya:Are we picking up the sphere?
Alani (Phil):Shalll I pop that sphere with an arrow?
Tony:no
Dagny (Kimberly):Are any of the weapons on the floor something nice enough that we should pick up? (I have Mending)
Tony:let's just leave it unless we still have the box to put it in
Rhennya:can we examine it somehow?
Dagny (Kimberly):I have the box
Tony:up to you dagny
Dagny (Kimberly):you mean the one for the devastation orb?
Simon N. (GM):The sphere sits enticingly on its pedestal, smoke within swirling alluringly.
Tony:yep
trap
Dagny (Kimberly):I do no like enticing smoke.
Tony:where is the wind coming from
Simon N. (GM):west
Dagny (Kimberly):Yeah, looking at the ground, anything there I want to pick up and mend? I make a wide berth around sphere.
Simon N. (GM):A stone pedestal in the middle of this cavern holds a glassy sphere about eight inches in diameter. The sphere seems to contain swirling smoke. Battered armor, damaged weapons, and tattered clothing are strewn around the chamber, but the floor within ten feet of the sphere is free of such debris. Several weapons on the ground seem like they might still be serviceable, although all are badly worn.
you can take a warhammer Dagny
Dagny (Kimberly):ok, I scoop it up as I walk through and pop it in my bag
Simon N. (GM):GM: hold on
F1. Worm's Stair
The skeleton of a giant worm is fused to the sides of this long tunnel, disappearing into a nearly vertical tunnel fifty feet above the floor. Wooden steps have been lashed to the bones, creating a makeshift staircase. Several odd backpacks lie in a pile on the floor at the foot of the stairs.
Dagny (Kimberly):What is odd about them?
Alani (Phil):HELP! My token is freakin' stuck!
Simon N. (GM):They appear to be Balloon Packs
Tony:where's the wind
Dagny (Kimberly):How many are there?

The wind is coming up the worm stair from the NW
Tony:can I grab a pack
Simon N. (GM):ok you can move :)
Rhennya:are the backpacks used up?
Dagny (Kimberly):Are the spirits in them "fresh" or used up?
Simon N. (GM):they're charged
Dagny (Kimberly):I take a backpack
Tony:off to the NW
Seraphus:ill take a pack
Alani (Phil):I'll take a pack if there is one left
Simon N. (GM):As you descend the worm stair you see it ends at a dark pit. Wind howls as it climbs this dark shaft.
Chaotic gusts blow up the shaft...
Dagny (Kimberly):what is above the shaft?
Simon N. (GM):Roll DC 10 Athletics

Tony:can we use the packs to descend?
Simon N. (GM):ceiling is about 20' above the pit
GM: You all avoid being sucked into the pit by the chaotic gusts :)
sharatu:i cast firebolt into the pit
Simon N. (GM):well done :)
Sharatu firebolts the darkness
Tony:go to the right?
Simon N. (GM):nothing happens
Rhennya:Can we somehow find out if the "great Lord has already ascended from there?
Simon N. (GM):You could presumably descend w the packs
Tony:where the wind coming from
Simon N. (GM):The wind comes from the howling pit
Tony:down the pit we go
with packs of course
sharatu:that holes a last resort lets follow the path for now
Dagny (Kimberly):If the howling pit is trying to suck us in, do we want to go there??
Tony:ok
Simon N. (GM):ok you can move
A bronze torch glowing with a magical light lies next to the corpse of a bare-chested man with a shield in the shape of a crab shell and a broken shark-toothed sword. Several other corpses are scattered on the floor. Some have been picked down to bone, their clothing and armor discarded nearby, while others have hardly been touched.
The walls are uneven, with small ledges and fissures on all sides. The ceiling is about a hundred feet high.
You recognise the tattered remains of some harpies you killed a while ago :)
Dagny (Kimberly):"They smell even worse dead."

Simon N. (GM):The sinister pyramid is thrumming gently
Dagny (Kimberly):Are all sounds of chanting gone?
Rhennya:It's somewhere around here
can we glean any info from the pyramid?
Simon N. (GM):A stone ziggurat capped by a huge altar of black granite stands in the middle of this cavern. At the foot of the altar lies a bound and gagged figure. Fresh rivulets of blood stain the altar and trickle down the steps of the ziggurat. On all sides of the cavern, guttering flames dance atop sluggish pools of oily water. Gusts of wind moan and howl from fissures high in the cavern walls.
Sorry ignore gagged figure, you rescued him :)
There are a lot of burned cultists on the pyramid though
Dagny (Kimberly):Are there any tracks leading north?
sharatu:oops did i do that
Simon N. (GM):no recent tracks north
Rhennya:any other paths , behind the water maybe?
Dagny (Kimberly):how much blood upon the altar?
I want to pour some holy water on it to cleanse it
sharatu:we don't have time to s
Simon N. (GM):F18. Drow Tomb
Flame dances above a pool of murky water to the south, lighting the room. A sarcophagus carved from glassy black stone stands atop a natural pedestal toward the north. The sarcophagus has fluted embellishments, delicate ribs, and friezes that show groveling demons.
sharatu:we need to hurry to the air prophet
Simon N. (GM):In the center of the sarcophagus lid is a symbol that combines those of the four elemental cults—the symbol of the Elder Elemental Eye.
Dagny (Kimberly):With my stonecunning, what do I know about the black stone?
Tony:Can I gain anything by commune with nature
Rhennya:Is that a path to the north as well?
