Emancipation

[Corwin]

"Huh. Let's take a look over here," Seira says, following the pull while trying to avoid triggering any curses. If it becomes impossible, her skills will end up being used!

[Anastasia]

It's in there - surely deep, and you'll have to move lots of cursed coins, gold and treasure to get to it.

Elle eyes it, "Over there? Buried, you think?"

"It has to be," Kascha agrees, "Unless the spell's being fooled."

"It wouldn't be the first time, like that time I was hunting those Purple Magic Cap Mushrooms." Elle remarks, "I ended up halfway to the Beastlands before I realized I was fooled."

[Corwin]

"This situation reminds me of how the Crimson Guard reached the ruins through the back entrance by finding the wrong seal out of sequence," Seira muses. "Let's do this!"

She focuses her divine power, and then uses Miracle several times in succession to attempt to dispense with the global curses!

20:13 <Seira> roll 6#1d20+35+3 in order
20:13 <Kobot> Seira rolled 6#1d20+35+3 in order --> [ 1d20=11 ]{49}, [ 1d20=13 ]{51}, [ 1d20=13 ]{51}, [ 1d20=4 ]{42}, [ 1d20=13 ]{51}, [ 1d20=10 ]{48}

[Anastasia]

"It gives us an element of surprise," Elle smiles at that memory.

So you're trying to end the curses permanently or remove them from something or someone?

[Corwin]

Tryng to remove them! All but the last should be removed!

There's six global curses.

1. Overwhelming guilt if you take something that isn't yours from here. This is the weakest by far, is mind-affecting and can be removed with remove curse.
2. Wrath: Once per hour you have a 20% chance of being assaulted by an iron golem. This golem is a construct created by the curse and vanishes if slain or otherwise incapacitated, or if an hour passes. This golem appears within 100ft of you. A remove curse that succeeds on a DC 25 caster level check removes it.
3. Ill luck. A -6 luck penalty to attack rolls and saving throws. A DC 30 caster level check with remove curse removes it.
4. Stillness. Each round in combat, you have a 75% chance of doing nothing. A wish or miracle spell is needed to remove this.
5. Forgetfulness. Each hour you have a 15% chance to forget what happened in the past hour. This loss is permanent until the curse is removed. The curse can be removed by a wish or miracle that succeeds on a DC 40 caster level check.
6. Hoarding Instinct. You now have an irresistible urge to hoard treasure in this vault and add to it. This penetrates even mind blank, but an epic level abjuration could stop it while active. The curse can be removed by a wish or miracle that succeeds on a DC 50 caster level check.

[Corwin]

End permanently.

[Anastasia]

Okay, then this info from before is relevant.

Overwhelming Guilt: This curse came from the malice of Rhogarn, amplified by his suicide. You know what this curse causes, as well as something more subtle. A slight, hidden disinclination to seek means to cure it, obscured and lost in the guilt, but still effective. The curse can be removed from a person by remove curse. The curse can be ended by Rhogarn's wife uttering a heartfelt apology before the hoard.

Removing the curse when it's applied to something? Not too hard for you except the last, which'll take a decent roll. Getting rid of it for good will require the wife bit.

As you stand there a moment and consider, "How adaptive are the curses?" Kascha asks, "Do they latch on if we use indirect methods or a mindless creature, or a golem or some such?"

[Corwin]

"Only one way to find out," Seira muses, attempting to summon an earth elemental that could that merely move aside all the cursed items in the way of the gem her find the path spell insists is buried underneath them.

[Anastasia]

It's not hard to get an earth elemental here with a bit of effort. It goes to push and moves it a bit, before curses cause it to burst aflame, freeze and altogether cease being anything but a glob of dead earth.

It did make headway, though.

"...well, it worked a little bit," Kascha winces. "The principle is sound."

[Corwin]

Seira nods, telling her, "Save your spells, I'll handle the rest as well."

This time, two earth elementals are summoned to help clear the path!

[Anastasia]

"Hold on," Kascha says, "Hold on, Seira. Use your will to ensure they feel no pain? A summon that feels no pain is merely a projection that returns a few memories to the real creature."

[Corwin]

"But it's a summons? They never-- I actually don't mind, I suppose." Rather than argue for the rights of summons in combat, Seira decides to follow Kascha's request. "You have a divine will as well now, remember? Next time you don't have to ask me."

[Anastasia]

That interlude of summoning ethics aside, soon enough heaps of treasure are moved. A red gemstone wide as a person and tall enough to reach your stomach is revealed, shining and brilliant.

[Corwin]

Seira checks it for any curses, intending to remove them if they exist.

In case the gem itself is cursed, we could use my previous rolls as needed?
I'm also interested in knowing whether picking the gem up would curse me and any info I can get on it.

[Anastasia]

The gem is not cursed.

However, it's an absolute tangle of magic. There's dozens of auras around it, and they bleed into each other.
