Forever lies ahead

Bastian does the same, but you find no traps about.

The metal bowl does radiate strong magic, however. As you scan it, "Blood of the eternal, blood of the divine. An offering shall open the way."

[Iron Dragoon]

Can I study the magic to try and figure out what it'll do?

[Anastasia]

Sure, spellcraft.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Dolmaya, help me study the magic on this. It'll go faster if we help each other."

Casting Greater Arcane Sight on her for expedience. I was also saving Cunning Knowledge just for this.
Spellcraft/Cunning Knowledge:

Dolmaya takes 10.

The bowl isn't an artifact, but it's powerful. It's designed to catalyze divine blood and create a grand magical effect. Namely, opening a hidden seal ahead.

The fact that it uses divine blood suggests the creator is a deity themselves or someone aided by one, or otherwise of inhuman insight.

[Iron Dragoon]

"It requires divine blood to open a seal. Looks to have been made by another deity..."

Can I identify what deity through the magic?

[Anastasia]

A DC 85 Spellcraft check shows the caster of an ongoing spell or effect, but not an item.

[Iron Dragoon]

I got +89 for spellcraft checks, so let's do that.

[Anastasia]

The bowl is an item, Iddy. See my last post about spells and effects, but not items.

[Iron Dragoon]

For some reason that bit escaped me.

Alyssa pulls out a knife. "Well, we've come this far. Any last second preperations?"

[Anastasia]

"Just be ready," Jarem says, "It's a small gamble, but we've come too far now," he agrees, "So let's finish it."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa cuts her forearm open and let's the blood dribble into the bowl.

[Anastasia]

Blood pours into the bowl, and with that, the back wall shifts and is gone. Behind it lie several things. The first is a great bed of platinum coins, as well as what looks to be coins made of adamantine. They sparkle in the light.

Secondly are six pillars, each one five feet tall and broad enough for something to rest atop it.

On the first sits a bloodstained kukri, fresh red blood glistening on the blade.

On the second rests a small potion bottle, full of what looks to be a bile-brown liquid.

On the third rests a large jug, full of bright red blood. It's made of plain glass and transparent.

On the fourth rests a large eye, white and with a blood red pupil.

On the fifth rests a single greave, made of steel and well worn, as well as freshly bloodstained.

On the sixth rests a still beating heart with thirty six chambers. It is a vast thing that splurts blood every moment, yet the blood fades away before it can splatter anything.

Beyond these, on the back wall, a slender book rests, embedded in.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa inspects each item, looking at the magic of each, working her way to the book.

Greater Arcane Sight or Identify as needed.

[Anastasia]

Spellcraft.

"What is all this?" Dolmaya asks as she comes forward.

Emily glances at the jug, "Godsblood," She announces quietly, "Oh Alyssa, I know that when I see it."
