Dragon quickstep

[Corwin]

Art, huh? She'll need to check there first, before considering heading further up.

[Anastasia]

The golem blocks your way in and silently regards you. It burns and sizzles, unmoving.

[Corwin]

As before, Seira creates a scroll of Hindsight and observes the proper protocol for dealing with the golem.

[Anastasia]

CL check real quick on Hindsight?

[Corwin]

It'd be CL40.

18:44 <Corwin> roll 1d20+40
18:44 <Kobot> Corwin rolled 1d20+40 --> [ 1d20=9 ]{49}

I'm not sure whether the +6 from DvR is applied to scrolls, so I haven't added that in.

[Anastasia]

It does, so 55 total.

You see others pass. They all present an unholy symbol of Imix, which allows them to pass freely.

[Corwin]

Well then. Seira forms an unholy symbol of Imix! Let's see if that would let her pass!

[Anastasia]

The golem steps aside, just like that. No muss, no fuss.

[Corwin]

Thus, Seira looks around the art section!

[Anastasia]

Inside is a vast array of art - things like paintings, statues, carvings, tapestries and other such things. It's at least somewhat sorted, if still a vast deal of it left to stand here. A few more golems wander here, pacing the pathways through this place. No doors, but an archway in the back leads to another chamber filled just like this one is.

[Corwin]

Seira checks the next chamber as well, intended to see whether any of the artifacts on display are actually people turned into statues or tapestries holding within them a soul much like the gems below.

[Anastasia]

Nothing like that. It seems to be mundane art - enchanted to endure and not burn or crumble with time - but still mundane art.

[Corwin]

Works for her! Seira retraces her steps and then heads up!

[Anastasia]

Up the stairs again. As you walk?

I think this is it. We'll be heading up to the main event now. You ready, Seira?

[Corwin]

As ready as I can be.

Incidentally, how long has it been since we arrived?
