Infiltrating a diabolical stronghold (full party)

[Yuthirin]

Muirfinn dutifully edges around the orb!

HP: 300/300
AC: 70
Active Effects: Camouflage, Primal Instinct, Superior Resistance, Fast Healing 11, immune to fire, SR 27
Form: Gold Draconic Ravager

[Anastasia]

The orb is edged around. Nothing happens save for the continued beating of the heat on your bodies. Ahead is a dead end, a rune-covered wall of black stone.

> roll 10d6 heat damage
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 31 > [d6=5,5,4,1,1,3,2,2,3,5]

1 more point of fire damage.

[Merc]

Ithea is impatient, and just disintegrates the fake wall while Muirfinn lumbers carefully around the orb.

[Anastasia]

The wall ahead is disintegrated. It vanishes, revealing a little 5ft by 5ft chamber in here, barely a square. In here sits a glass orb, identical to the glass orb that you just bypassed for being a trap.

[Merc]

Ithea eyes this orb too! Just to make sure it isn't a second layer trap!

[Yuthirin]

Muirfinn blinks as the beam flies past his head. He turns slowly and gives Ithea a baleful draconic eyeballing. "...warn me next time."

[Merc]

"I'm not going to hit you by accident, you know."

[Yuthirin]

"Still." Muirfinn says, turning back and edging carefully around the newly-revealed orb.

[Anastasia]

<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 45 > [d6=5,1,6,3,6,6,3,6,4,5]]

15 fire damage, y'all.

Pain as the heat bored into you. Roasting heat that could flash-fry an unprotected mortal in seconds. But you stand against it, studying the magic ahead. This orb controls the heat, you're sure of it. Problem is, it's connected to the previous orb. If it's touched, disturbed, move or affected by any magic, it'll trigger the trapped orb. You might be able to overcome this with Use Magic Device or Disable Device, with the latter being easier.

[Merc]

Ithea shares the information with Lief! "Think you can handle it, Lief? I can give it a shot otherwise," Ithea asks.

[Iron Dragoon]

*Eyes the trap...*

"I think I'll be able to get it... But be on stand-by in case something goes wrong and firey."

[Anastasia]

Lief works. He works and works and works, trying to finesse it...no. He doesn't trip it, but he doesn't succeed, either.

You're free to try again, you didn't fail by enough to cause a catastrophe.

> roll 10d6
<Serith> Sunshine_Ko roll for Serith < 39 > [d6=6,1,6,1,6,5,2,2,4,6]

9 more fire damage.

[Iron Dragoon]

*Keeps working, trying to ignore the blistering heat... And the blisters it causes.*

[Anastasia]

As Lief's skin blisters under the searing heat, he ignores the pain and focuses. The weave of magic and the mechanical elements, trying to interweave and unlace them into safety. It is a great, terrible struggle - but with a gasp, he finishes. The trap is disarmed.

> roll 10d6
<Serith> Sunshine_Ko roll for Serith < 29 > [d6=2,2,3,1,1,5,5,4,2,4]

No damage this round.

[Merc]

Ithea keeps examining the magic of the orb.
