Elemental Movements

[Anastasia]

You hear the subtle click of a wall panel sliding aside. Glancing over, you see one has opened up.

[Nephrite]

Moore turns to give it a closer look! Usually these sorts of things are just traps, so he fully expects the same here!

[Anastasia]

How close?

[Nephrite]

Well this probably isn't a terribly wide set of stairs, so let's say 5 feet?

[Anastasia]

"Hm?" Kaja pauses as you peer into it. There's a simple wand within - and a split second later a great gush of rainbow colored paint erupts from it, right at you.

[Anastasia]

Somehow Moore is fast enough. He dodges a gush of prismatic paint, shining brightly on the ground, like a riot of colors.

[Nephrite]

Moore makes a gesture -- guess what, that wand is his now!

Stone shape -- he's basically going to tear a hole in the wall with it (or try to) so that he can just take the wand. Also, if there's some sort of passage behind the wall he'd look for that too!

He has 190 cubic feet of stone to work with, so that should be plenty to more or less do what he wants to do and some extra along the rest of the stairwell.

Loot posted.

You get the wand as you see another one near the bottom of the stairs, but otherwise the walls are empty - just two little cubbies.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 on Spellcraft, I'm assuming this isn't just regular paint.

Moore will collect the other wand too and put it away.

"This is going to be an interesting day." He murmurs to himself.

[Anastasia]

The paint is enchanted to be difficult to remove, requiring universal solvent to do so. It will make you virtually unmissable, making stealth impossible.

"Heh," Kaja grins a bit, "I almost like the style of it, though."

Xandra shakes her head, "Beware a death of a thousand cuts."

[Nephrite]

"Huh, that's actually pretty neat. I'll have to develop a spell that uses this stuff." Moore says as they continue along. He keeps an eye out for any further traps!

Vision of the Omniscient Eye cast.

[Anastasia]

Perception after boosting your Perception score.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 84, then.

[Anastasia]

As you reach the end of the stairs, it's a small room with a door further in. You can notice tiny runes all over the door, barely perceptible.
