Dragon quickstep

Taking 10 for 92

[Anastasia]

The golems don't react to you as you go about and search. None visible - but you suspect at least two are hidden behind the ice, based on how the room and paths are structured.

[Corwin]

In the floor, or in the walls?

Seira decides to return, and try the other door. Maybe she was wrong on the whole R thing.

[Anastasia]

Walls.

The same set up here, more creatures frozen in ice and iron golems at regular intervals.

[Corwin]

How thick is the ice covering what I think are the doors?

[Anastasia]

Looking carefully, a bit over a foot and opaque.

[Corwin]

Imbued with Shadow Form, Seira tries to pass through one of the doors to take a look on the other side!

[Anastasia]

You slip right through. On the other side rests a room full of gemstones of all kinds. Each one has a faint light within it, hundreds of them stacked up. Some small but many quite large.

[Corwin]

Souls? Seira takes a closer look, as well as observing any other doors or magical signatures here.

[Anastasia]

Indeed, each one holds a soul within. There's another door here as well, unhidden at least.

It's also locked with powerful magic, it won't open easily.

[Corwin]

Seira collects the souls into a bag of holding. If they need to further enrage Imix into showing himself, she can set them free to taunt him.

Is the door only locked, or also trapped/set with alarm?

[Anastasia]

It is not.

[Corwin]

With the soul gems collected, Seira attempts to dispel the protection on the door!

[Anastasia]

No good. It's by no mortal hand this protection was set. It resists even your magic.

[Corwin]

It was bound to happen. Good thing that was not Seira's best effort! She puts her all into it, now, even if it means parting with a Superb Dispelling!

Spell Enahncer's Superb Dispelling!
