Darkwood--Into the blackness....

"So it is merely repeating a lighted pattern, much like repeating the rhythm of a song?"

[ooc]my Intelligence rating is the same as Vyn's and my highest Perform modifier right now is +15. sounds like you're on, Kali.[/ooc]

That's nice, Kali. If we're going to try to actually solve the puzzle the way it's supposed to be done, those will come in handy. Now, if we want to bypass it...

1. I have a +22 UMD, with the ability to take 10 on UMD checks. This could very well convince the spell that the trigger condition is not happening.
2. Led can use Disable Device with his tools to temporarily deactivate it.
3. Sigrid could use Dispel Magic on it, which may also suppress it.
4. Or the brute force method. I stand back and blast the wall around the door until it falls down, useless. Infinite blasts, from 250' away, average 16 points of damae per hit... 3 minutes with no danger, except noise.

I have 18 INT and detect magic (but I doubt I'd get more than Vyn did if I took a look at it)

I sort of like the "stand back and blast it" idea if no one is going to try to solve it or disable it, and honestly, I don't really relish the thought of Man In The Sky throwing something horrible and undead at us (Vyn said Necromancy) if we somehow mess it up....thaaaat being said, is there any chance of, oh, I don't know, like a treasure hoard if we beat the puzzle?

Kali shoos everyone back, and once they're clear, tries to open the door.

[If the puzzle lights up, then play along. She's trying to open the door first though.]

Staying in the shadows near Sigrid, watching Kali from a ways back with the rest of the group.

From near Sigrid "Sigrid, What don't you know?"

Anna walks up and stands next to Kali, watching her pressing the pattern of lights, trying to memorize the pattern along with Kali.

Post by **Seven Words** » Sat Apr 30, 2011 9:40 pm

Kalindriel smoothly emulates the brilliant patterns, growing in complexity...four lights...five..six...seven....when she reaches the thirteen-light pattern, Annelysei interrupts her....

Post by **Annalysei** » Sat Apr 30, 2011 9:41 pm

Anna reaches out and grabs Kali's hand quickly "Wait. I think it's blue, not purple."

Post by **Kalindriel Ec'urb** » Sat Apr 30, 2011 9:51 pm

Kali frowns, looks at Anna, looks at the colored panels, looks back at Anna, and presses blue...

Post by **Seven Words** » Sat Apr 30, 2011 9:58 pm

Blue was not the correct choice.

A Cone of Cold erupts!

Kalindriel throws herself out of the way, evading the frost blast!

Annelysei is unable to dodge, and takes the full brunt of the icy detonation! (30 points)

Post by **Kalindriel Ec'urb** » Sat Apr 30, 2011 9:59 pm

"I think it was purple."

She begins again.

Post by **Seven Words** » Sat Apr 30, 2011 10:09 pm

As Kalindriel completes the fifteen-light pattern...it goes dark..then flashes white...and opens.

A faint voice is heard..."....there?.....I...if......help.....endure....", and a strong salt-tinged breeze briefly blows.

(ooc: Yeah, see if I do anything besides just hit monsters from now on. Every single time I've tried to do anything that isn't "Anna hits the monster with her stick" I get fried. *sigh*)

Anna shudders with cold, teeth chattering. She manages to cough out "Well, that went well. Ever so glad I helped."

[ooc again: I had a CMW, but it has somehow disappeared from my character sheet, and I don't think I've used it. If the DM agrees that I still have it -- I really do think I do -- I'll use that instead of using up what little our healers have left.]

[ an echoing, booming voice
CONCUR!!]

[You got frostied not friedied]

Move forward, hidey and stuff, spot/search/listen.

"There are many things I don't know. You'll have to be more specific."

I move over to Anna. I take out my holy mace, and chant a prayer to the Unknowable. Sacred Healing.

"You should feel better in a moment."

[Anybody who was hurt just healed 45hp.]

Post by **Annalysei** » Tue May 03, 2011 9:12 pm

Anna's shivers subside as the healing takes effect. She decides to see if she can get a little extra sympathy from the lovely healer "That's much better, but could you check and make sure I'm completely healed?" And makes her best pathetic expression, and throws a pitiful cough in for effect.

[ooc to Trina: True, I did get frostied not fried, but it's better than being bited by a snakey which is what happened last time. No likey the snakeys.]

Giggling from the shadows.

"Blue looks pretty on you."

Towards Sigrid

"You said you had to talk to something you don't know. What don't you know?"

PM to Katrina

Marrik politely finds something profoundly interesting on the wall, away from Anna and Sigrid....Skyseeker, smiles, before padding off down the hall, not wanting to intrude upon whatever is blossoming...

"There is a door with a pentacle thingee down there. Lights in it. Blue, red, orange, white and goldy."

"There is splashies behind it. Be quiet."

Post by **Annalysei** » Wed May 04, 2011 5:37 pm

Anna decides that the group's safety is going to have to outweigh her desire for comforting from Sigrid, and gets up quietly to see what Trina is talking about. If it's a puzzle of some sort, she doesn't want any part of it, she knows that much.
