Presuming they aren't occluded by magic designed to foil detect magic and similar spells.

Comrade Tortoise · Post by **Comrade Tortoise** » Mon Nov 17, 2008 11:58 pm

well yes.

Ooo, fleshbag threats. I assume I am still climbing for awhile so let me know when I would reach the top.

Oh good... we don't have to bury her, just hand her over.

With the bow. Don't keep it, unless the halflings let us.

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 9:54 am

You mean we aren't gonna kill the travel-size fleshbags?

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 9:56 am

Considering you're currently wedged in a small dirt hole with your head about to be turned into a metal pin cushion if you don't exercise a modocium of diplomacy, I would think that yes, you aren't going to kill the fleshbags.

Diplomacy? Oh dear... Uhhh. I mean. Yes, diplomacy. Eight's FANTASTIC at diplomacy. Too bad his axe is unreachable at the moment...

Oh yeah, everyone but Ophidian gets 1050 XP for the past three encounters: allip, ghost, and carytid column.

Oh, wow. Detect Magic instantly is activated, checking for magical resonance in the bag, the bracers, the swords, and whatever else.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 6:01 pm

First round: there is magic in the area.

Second round: there are two and a half magical auras. The half is really more an impression that once, long ago, there was magic in the area, but only an echo of it remains. The strongest aura is faint.

Third round: faint aura around the bracers and the bag.

First of all, I transferred Fehl to the Public profiler, fixing a few problems with his sheet while I was at it. It's available here, and has been tentatively approved by Academia Nut (pending spells; there was an issue or two there)

Also, another search & spot for the next room.

As I mentioned to rhoenix on AIM, when reading the description of the idol, think about the descriptions of the statuettes in the original "Call of Cthulhu" and you won't go wrong in getting the feel of it down.

Knowlege religion to get an idea of what kind of undead a mad priest would become

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 8:44 pm

Well, considering that his body is laying out in the middle of the street from where the others brought it after they cut it down and you can clearly see that he was hung and his body was otherwise intact: your best guess is an allip.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 10:47 pm

For the idol, Knowledge: Arcana and/or Religion are needed to work out anything about it. Spellcraft might glean something as well.

Comrade Tortoise · Post by **Comrade Tortoise** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 10:51 pm

Premptive knowledge Religion, Arcana, history, Local and Spellcraft for the artifact I am about to see....

Religion

arcana

history

local

spellcraft (for when he examines the pseudo-aura)

rhoenix · Post by **rhoenix** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 10:53 pm

Well, while I'm at it, here are Fehl's rolls for the whatever-it-is.

Spellcraft skill check:

Knowledge (Arcana) skill check:

Nitram and I will be out of town tomorrow and back Thursday.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 11:03 pm

Alrighty, I'll let the primary casters (and the duskblade) work out what is up with the statue.

Knowledge (religion)

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 1:14 pm

Okay, Bartel doesn't know anything about Noxeus aside from maybe once hearing the name in passing during a seminary class on the history of various religions in Eastwind.

Also, double check the book there Ophidian, the villagers hadn't breached the chamber with their well yet before they started seeing a strange figure. The ordering of events is roughly start digging well, see strange figure in mists, halfling caravan destroyed, priest driven insane, village destroyed, with the chamber being discovered sometime between seeing the figure and the village being destroyed.
