The hunt for goldenfire (Afina and Jaela, later Surraruthru too)

[Anastasia]

"That's not quite what I meant," Kascha stays on the armor, "It's just...to us, this isn't anything special. But to mortals, this armor could be a legend, the raiment of heroes. I don't know, something about this struck me oddly."

[Corwin]

"I sort of get you," Jaela muses. "Still, even for us a suit of armor made by Lathander and retrieved from his sun is a big deal. You could tell the story to your and Morniel's kids, and their kids, and it'd still be fresh and entertaining!"

[Anastasia]

Kascha turns bright red at that, "Morniel and I's children?! What?"

[Corwin]

"Grandchildren, too," Jaela helpfully adds. "That's how big a deal it is!"

[Anastasia]

Kascha's next reply is a rather incoherent sputter.

"Ahem," Mirajane clears her throat, "We should continue on."

[Ebiris]

"Kascha, what can you tell us about that blue orb?" Afina asks to distract the easily flustered ghaele.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+46 Kascha spellcraft
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+46 Kascha spellcraft --> [ 1d20=4 ]{50}

"It'll transport us," Kascha says, "And scatter us about the maze."

[Ebiris]

"Could try dispelling it, or just using dimensional locks to prevent any teleportation. Thoughts?" Afina asks. She can cast dimensional anchor but chain-casting it would be a pain in her current state.

[Anastasia]

"A summoned creature is fine as well," Kascha suggests, "I think it'll fade like the disintegration orb."

[Ebiris]

"I can manage that then," Afina says, calling forth a horde of fire elementals!

Using Elemental Swarm sla.
[18:57] <@Ebiris> roll 2d4 large fire elementals
[18:57] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 2d4 large fire elementals --> [ 2d4=7 ]{7}

A whole seven of them appear, ready to answer Afina's call! "Go through that room and wait," she instructs them in crackling Ignan, sending the septuplets through!

The moment the seven are into the room, the blue orb flashes light. It vanishes away, as do the elementals - simply gone, out of sight and who knows where now.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru twists his head to look around the room, eyeing it for anything that might be a back-up, more mundane trap.

[Ebiris]

"Maybe we'll run into them later?" Afina wonders amusedly, flying in now that the way is clear.

[Anastasia]

Search, Surraruthru.

The room is like the previous one. There are passages to the east and west here. The passage to the east goes on 15ft before sloping downwards and out of sight, while the passage to the west goes 40ft before turning north once more.

[Ebiris]

Always go East, right? Seeing no reason to question that, Afina takes the downwards sloping passage.
