Kross Words

Character and players in the game tonight:
Glaive (Janielle), Ghoral (Bill), Jarlyn (Dennis), Perrol (Bob) and Kross (Heath)

We are looking around the curved area for hidden passages.

Ghoral finds a hole in the top on the left 2nd booth. Glaive uses her Rapier and inserts it into the hole. Gears are grinding. A blast of  warm air comes out. The wall of the booth opens up and a curved passage is seen. As we head down the passage, we see a squar room with a silver metal alter. There is a bobyon the alter. Behind the alter is a door with a metal smooth door with 2 holes on eatherside about 4 foot round (a braiser).

We all move into the room. We have a look at the body on the alter. He looks like the necromancer’s son. Looks like the knife that is in the chest of the body could have been self inflicted. Two pieces of paper are found off to the side of the alter. One is of a rought drawing of the outside area and dig sites. (Kross will update his map.) The other piece of paper has the rune writting on it with translation under it.

His first servants long buried,
Those missionaries of his will,
Again they sleep and again they wait.

Fire, smoke, and steam make the call,
Where fresh blood the faithful offer,
For the true words of the first.

We hear grinding stone (the far passage). After a few minutes the is a closer, we hear some more grinding. The door to the room closes. There is a set of stares going up (off to the left of the passage to the room). We follow the stares up. We see a columns made up of  large copper bands with pipes comming out of the bands going in the direction of the 5 booths. Above we see a 3 by 2 sized door above what we definded as evil. We lift Ghoral up to the door, which he opens. It looks like steampunk threw up in it.

Jarlyn is beating the hell out of it. The blue light dims and goes out. We head back dow the stares, we notice a button. It is pushed and the closed passage opens.

We are now looking on how to open the metal door. The braiser will be filled with the wood from the weapons. The copper pipe is filled with water. Over time steam is rising. After 10 min the door slides open.

We see on the other side, we see a round room all in metal. Will see a 4 in grove in the floor. It is said that there is sounds of a clank (metal on metal). It is spoted, 5 ft w 3 ft long 3 ft tall, steel and copper box on wheels with a rods on the left/right and 2 metals arms located in the front. In the front of the device in the left and right corner are a blue stone and in the center is a orange stone.

Cave painting on the back wall:

On the back wall is a full wall painting going East to West. First is a wild spray of multi-colored pigments; small and round and either red, green, yellow, or blue. Next to that is a simple black square. Next to that is a blue humanoid kneeling to one side of small white square with a red smear. Around the white square are 5 figures like the ones in the big chamber; oval faces and long fingers. The five figures stand in line and to each side of them are tear drop shaped orange pigments.

Jarlyn has a idea that EVIL in ahead, but 10 to 15 feet ahead and 30 ft up.

There are 5 doors on this curved hallway. The doors have the same symbol that the rock had. We each take a door and open them at basicly the same time. We find a small room with a sheet of ice on the walls  and behind the ice (1/2 inch thick), small holes can be seen. We compair notes and the only differance are the number of holes (30 - 35).

Perrol says he will go into the room and lock/activate it. A few seconds he comes back. Says the holes show the colors lights, like from the painting. He had a vision. Wanted to turn him evil.  From Perrol point of view:

I see colored lights coming from the holes.  Then I see a vision of myself in front of a white alter and I am sacrificing humanoids.  I sense a power trying to convince me that this is all ok to be doing this.

Ghoral and Jarlyn will damage one of the arcoves, finding color qourts in the solid stones.

Kross climbs up and then gets the others up using the winch.

Jarlyn find out the runes are a type of summoning (ie the Rock Snakes), if and when the ward is broken.
(note: at one time there used to lots of Rock Snakes, but over time they have been killed off.)

We rest for the next day and Perrol will take his last potion (heal up to full). Kross will give Perrol one of the potion from Kross’ backpack.

We head back down, we see cave painting on both walls with the stick figures shone mainly in blue at war. At the far end we see more painting in greater detail. They depict the blue figure bowing down to figures that have elongated heads and fingers. Will also see a painting of a blue figure in a sitting position with yellow wavy lines showing around his head

We go thur the arch and see a 4 way intersection with some small columns. A small pyramid covered in ice with someone one/thing on top. Will also see a passage on the otherside of the passage, right ahead.

Perrol can see that the top of the skull is showing some magic.

To the left and right and see long hallways. Perrol steped into the room, he says something is in his mind. Jarlyn states that mind magic needs line of sight.

We pile the stuff near the entrance, so it is out of the way and we are not carrying it around.

We head off to the right finding frozen men & wemen in each archove laying down with their feed towards the door. (like Giant ice cubes.) 

We head off to the left, finding a T shaped passage. With a frozen beaded curtain to the right and a curved area with a door in it.
The curtain is pushed to the side and Jarlyn will look inside. (He will tell what he sees and what happens.)

In center of chamber about 10 ft up is a humanoid spread eagle, face down, no ice. It is pale skin, greenish/grey palor, lines of dark green in the veins. From each outstretch finger and toes extends  slender wires going into small holes in the wall. A single wall goes from the head to the ceiling. A scene is painted across the opposite wall.

The game end for the night with the strands of the door curtain starting to attack Jarlyn.
