Forever lies ahead

[Anastasia]

Uh, what's your actual total? I don't think 20's your total result.

[Iron Dragoon]

Whoops, yeah. Somehow forgot to add in my actual ref save bonus. 66 total.

[Anastasia]

Okay, the bonus makes there be no need for save.s Evasion also isn't terribly important here.

It's sheer speed and reaction that saves all of you. You split the wall ahead with a thought, enough to race through and on. Ahead is a downward slope, plunging sharply inwards. A dull green light can be glimpsed below.

[Iron Dragoon]

Can I ID what the light is at all?

[Anastasia]

K:A.

[Iron Dragoon]

K:A

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+57 : 18 + 57, total 75[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

Quick and dirty guess, but you'd guess necromancy of some kind. It's not 100%, colors vary, but that's what your expert opinion would be.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Best guess while moving, that's Necromancy up ahead.'

[Anastasia]

'This place keeps getting better,' Bastian snarks as you all rush down, the sounds of battle behind you.

Ahead, remnants. Skeletal hands. Legs. Skulls. Hip bones. All the parts of the skeleton are scattered about a vast chamber, surely tens and tens of thousands of bleached white bones are here.

You sense it. The way forward is ahead.

You feel the dark magic here, a curse on reality, a curse on life.

The bones begin to rise before the party's eyes as Jarem steps forward, on the defensive. It is as if this cavern is one great ossuary full of bones that refuse to embrace their final rest. More, big and black vermin roam amid the bones. Some sort of horrid insect, crawling and skittering forward. Things bloated on flesh and marrow, far too large like overfilled pastries ready to burst.

"Damn, he's just throwing one big battle at us after another. All the strategic acumen of a puddle of piss," Jarem notes, "Get ready!"

[Iron Dragoon]

'There's a curse here. Let me see if I can't figure out what it is.'

[Anastasia]

What detection are you using?

[Iron Dragoon]

I can use Alter Reality for either Detect Magic or Greater Arcane sight, whichever is better.

[Anastasia]

Either takes an action you don't have freely, so let's do init.

[Iron Dragoon]

Init:
