Dragon quickstep

[Anastasia]

The spell crumbles before you, magic undone by your own will.

[Corwin]

Seira takes a glance behind this door, so that she'd better plot a reunion with her companions.

[Anastasia]

Within this room sits several forcecages. Inside of each one is a large gemstone - fist sized or larger, each one brightly radiant with power.

[Corwin]

Seira checks first whether it's a dead end or there are other doors leading out of here!

Some information on the glowing gemstones would also be appreciated, are we talking soulgems to hold powerful souls?

[Anastasia]

They are powerful gems to hold powerful souls, yes.

It's a dead end, no other doors come into here.

[Corwin]

No need to get the others, at least. Seira observes the forcecages and the gems themselves to see whether they're trapped or under alert!

And also updates her friends so they don't worry. Imix is keeping a lot of soulgems here, but access is hard. Once I find a route to proceed, I'll bring you across.

[Anastasia]

We'll await you.

The forcecages are trapped. If dispelled flesh eating gas is spewed out everywhere, invisible and intensely toxic. It's already in the cages. Likewise a cage going down sends up a huge alarm, five of them. The gems themselves are layered in immolation curses that will burn even a fire elemental to nothing.

[Corwin]

It's a puzzle, just like bypassing a prismatic barrier! While she can disintegrate the cages, five alarms might be a bit much even for her to handle with certainty, and she might always miss one. Since that's out, Seira studies the contents of the cages themselves. A flesh-eating gas will likely be defeated by simply not having flesh, so stone or iron body handles that. Immolation would be painful, but is unlikely powerful enough to bring her down. Still, there's no need to invite needless pain. Just how are the immolation curses arranged? What is their trigger? Can the curse be removed through her divine will without triggering the rest of the defenses?

[Anastasia]

The curses are stacked on one another and will all trigger at once.

The trigger is touch.

No, the forcecage blocks that.

[Corwin]

Removing the curses with divine will is going to be quite tricky, although they might be layered just right for it. Perhaps if she used Shadow Form to slip past the force barrier in a nonflesh body and then used it?

Then again, she could just trick the trigger. If it's touch, what about mage hand or telekinesis? What if she uses those to drop the gems into a bag of holding?

[Anastasia]

Those shouldn't trigger it, no.

[Corwin]

She does have clothes but they're probably artifacts since they're her adventuring outfit. Other than that, nothing should really be hit by the flesh-eating gas, as Seira reforms her body out of stone and then slips past the nearest forcefield composing the forcecage with Shadow Form. Then, she telekinetically picks the gemstone up and drops it into a bag of holding, before using divine will to ensure a vacuum is inside so none of the gas is stored as well.

[Anastasia]

Give me Perception.

[Corwin]

Why mess with a nice, round number? 120.

[Anastasia]

Got it. You have to move nigh perfectly, but you grab the gemstone and all seems to work as it flies into your hole.
