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

[Anastasia]

15 minutes now, mostly due to Afina's elemental waiting.

Surraruthru searches around it. He finds that there are two tiny circular grooves in it, as if to insert something. Kascha meanwhile looks ahead and studies it.

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

"There's magic there, but it's not finished," Kascha says, "There's something missing, a pair of triggers."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru nods.

"Yes, I see where two things are supposed to go. Can't tell what, though... Divination?"

[Corwin]

"We did get this pair of bracers here," Jaela muses, raising her own. "Think it's them?"

[Anastasia]

On a glance, you can see the bracers are much too large to fit.

[Ebiris]

"Perhaps merely going East wasn't enough and we need to explore to find the keys elsewhere in this maze?" Afina suggests.

[Corwin]

"Makes sense. Let's double back, then."

[Anastasia]

Arrel gestures ahead with his wing. "We still have a path to follow past this," he says, "Perhaps we will find them as we explore."

[Ebiris]

"Just make sure not to disturb the chalk," Afina says, flying around the design in case it incorporates any sort of binding trap or the like. "You two wait here," she adds to her elementals. "You can set the adamantine down as well."

[Anastasia]

There's a massive CLANG of adadmantine down as the elementals obey. The party proceeds onward. The passage rises up and goes another 20ft before a new square room. This one as a green orb of light in the center and passages to the north, east and west.

Kascha immediately peers at the sphere.

> roll 1d20+46 Kascha
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+46 Kascha --> [ 1d20=7 ]{53}

She promptly takes a few steps back, then a few more. "That sphere skunks us. It makes us smell like a skunk got us, and what's worse, metal and especially adamantine is drawn to us, making it harder to avoid attacks from weapons made of metal."

[Corwin]

Jaela perks up. "That's a nice one! Please take notes so we could put it at the Aurora's gates."

[Anastasia]

Kascha dutifully takes out her book and starts writing away. Meanwhile, Mirajane looks at it as well, "Interestingly, I saw futures where you step into it on purpose, mother."

[Corwin]

"I don't want to smell like a skunk. Maybe I hit my head in those futures?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"So who can disable this one?"

[Ebiris]

"A disposable summoned monster?" Afina suggests. "Surrurathru, why don't you see if any fire elementals will answer your call?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru perks up at this idea and gives it a shot, focusing intently on the new abilities given to him by Afina's spell.

Using 1/day Elemental Swarm summon:

<Serith> Iddy roll for Serith < 7 > [d4=4,3]
