A Faraway Victory

[Anastasia]

Antenora flashes Marie a smile, "Well done!"

Meanwhile another wall and gate are ahead, the latter open and the dragon golem lumbering on through.

[Ebiris]

They all go through the gate with the golem!

[Anastasia]

The golem moves fairly slowly - slower than a typical human on the move.

20ft movement speed, in case that changes your actions here.

[Ebiris]

Marie tries to make it go faster!

Haste SLA on the golem for +30 speed.

[Anastasia]

The construct begins to move faster, its speed increasing as desired.

[Ebiris]

That puts it as fast as Marie was going so they can't complain about the pace now!

Of course Marie can go even faster herself because she hasted herself as well, but still it's progress!

[Anastasia]

Past another gate, this hallway half constructed. Unused brick and stone lie about in piles here, gaps in the wall showing inner halls for the walls themselves. There's several gaps here, large enough for several of you to pass through at once - as well as your golem it you wish.

Straight ahead is a stone archway, a grander door leading within. It shows a satyr living up to the most rowdy and obscene parts of its legend, notably.

[Ebiris]

As nice as it would be to let Marie have her new toy charge and break down the door, Alicia handles it with the simple expedient of silver fire, burning through the lewd door and leaving nothing behind.

[17:21] <@Ebiris> roll 40d10
[17:22] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 40d10 --> [ 40d10=247 ]{247}

damage for anything on the other side of the door, DC 41 ref half.

[Anastasia]

The door is utterly obliterated.

Syala sniffs as it is, "Of course that's what they focus on," she declares as the way is opened.

You can feel it instantly, even as the dust begins to clear. Your breathing feels more, your hearing feels sharper. Stronger. Your vision intensifies, you can taste the remnants of your last meal on your tongue, like a lingering benediction.

+10 bonus to Perception checks for all.

[Ebiris]

"Oooh, feel that?" Marie asks, peering forward to try and figure out the magic involved.

[17:30] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+45 spellcraft, greater arcane sight
[17:30] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d20+45 spellcraft, greater arcane sight --> [ 1d20=11 ]{56}

[Anastasia]

It's an intensely powerful field, emanating out from some sort of artifact. It intensifies feelings and sensations the closer you get - and makes them addictive too, easy to tell with the tips from Jessica.

Antenora murmurs deep in her throat, "What a lovely and cursed thing. Using your own body to addict you, ensnare you."

Ahead is a hallway, red carpet and golden stones. It's lit with fireless torches here and there, giving everything a shadowy illumination. It goes on a ways until a second door further in. The walls are both decorated with gold inlays, showing succubi and other such things in all sorts of play. It's decidedly not for sensitive eyes, as it's showing rather...adult pleasures.

Marie can see the entire room radiates more magic than just the sense enhancing, too.

[Ebiris]

What other magic is being radiated then? Same spellcraft and use of greater arcane sight.

[Anastasia]

The inlays are two fold. They sense anyone walking down the hall, and are enchanted to fire blasts of energy - rather similar to an eldritch blast - that erode the target's health as well as mental fortitude and willpower. It doesn't fire on any evil creature or CN creatures.

[Ebiris]

"It's not a spell, it's an artifact," Marie informs everyone. "Also the walls are trapped, let me block them off." A pair of walls of force stretch down the hallway flush against the walls a moment later, making it safe for them to advance so Alicia can blast down the next door.

Wall of force SLA used as needed there.

[Anastasia]

The walls neatly block off the inlays, Syala glancing at them, "Classy," she remarks, as you reach the next door.

Go ahead, wrecking ball Alicia.
