CH. 14: Beyond the Veil

"If it comes to that I can try to shield you from the traps. I... well kinda lucky avoiding their effect." he lies and brushed some burned hairs from his arm reflecting his effort to brush the hint of fear from his heart as he remembers both the explosion when he opened the mansion's door and the poles that barely missed him when they entered the current level..

The party leaves the study and reenters the hallway, heading to the western end of it. Things are exactly as they left them. The hall is littered with the pieces of the former helmed horrors. On the south wall is a door hanging ajar. To the north wall is the door with the heart shaped lock and the acid spraying trap on it.

"You can't be a shield for everything, Baeros," Jocelyn says. "And I wouldn't ask you to do that in the first place."

*Drav attempts to remove the trap should Gallath fail*

[JadedDM]

Gallath manages to disable the acid spraying trap on the heart door, making it safe to enter. With that settled, the party opens the door to reveal a master bedroom. Like the study, it is clean and in good condition, as if it had been cared for all these years.

There's a king sized bed, made up. Next to that is a nightstand with a drawer on it. On the nightstand is another recording orb, like in the study.

There's also an armoire, made from mahogany. The windows are all boarded up, like all of the other rooms. There is little else in the way of decoration or furniture, however.

"Thank you, Gallath" Ouragana says to the elf with a nod as she passes him. She walks over to the recording orb. Over her shoulder, she looks if Thaddeus is following her. She picks it up only when the other mage is near her.

Val goes in and pokes around,":What do we have here?"

[HorizonsDream]

"There was one paranoid guying living here," Jocelyn comments as she looks around the room. Oura was all ready checking out the recording device. "Gallath or Drav, why don't you check the armoire. For all we know, he might have trapped that thing too."

[xelphyn]

"Oh, that looks fancy. What is it?" Dahn asks, seeing the orb.

[chese780]

*Drav checks the thing for traps*

"I don't see why someone would trap something inside a room that is both locked and trapped already, but it doesn't hurt to check."

(OOC: Sorry to be a bit missing at times, I'm in the process of getting a job and all sorts of school stuff so...)

[JadedDM]

Ouragana picks up the orb and Dahn asks about it. "It appears to be another recording device, like the one in the study or the larger one that had the map to this island on it," Thaddeus notes. "Perhaps another log entry?"

Brock harrumphs. "Anything wrong with simple paper and quill? That's mages for you. Gotta do everything the hard way."

"Had he wrote his log on paper, they would have disintegrated long ago," Thaddeus points out. "We were lucky he used these devices instead."

Meanwhile, Drav searches the armoire for traps but doesn't find any.

=========

Drav searches the armoire for traps [TN 50%] (1d100): 53, fail. He finds no traps.

[spyguy1503]

Gallath searches for traps. "You did it all wrong!" he complains to the other elf. "Activate it, Thaddeus"

[JadedDM]

Gallath searches the armoire for traps as well, but like Drav, he finds none.

Thaddeus holds out his hand to Ouragana for the orb. "May I?" he asks.

==========

Gallath searches for traps on the armoire [TN 65%] (1d100): 100, fail.

[HorizonsDream]

"Why would he have a different recording device in this room? Would this be more of his personal...journal?" Jocelyn asks.
