Dragon quickstep

[Corwin]

Epic Bluff can display a false alignment at DC70, UMD can spoof alignment for magic items at DC30. Can I combine them to make us seem true neutral?

[Anastasia]

Sure, go for it.

[Corwin]

Seira holds up her hand to get the others to hold, and then ties the spell to her person even as she tricks it that she is allowed passage!

Both Bluff and UMD are at +82 for me, so 92 when I take 10.

[Anastasia]

Easy enough. You and your allies slip right past, nothing going off at all.

[Corwin]

Seira keeps going up at a good pace!

[Anastasia]

The next floor opens up into a small room with a door north, south, east and west. The stairs also continue up from here.  Each door has a little plaque on it.

[Corwin]

Seira reads the plaques, even as she asks Donald, As high up as we can go, right?

[Anastasia]

Yeah, keep on going.

The north door reads: Gold. The west door reads: Silver. The south door reads: Platinum. The east door reads: Gems.

This shows how little Imix values wealth, if it's dropped at the bottom here and forgotten. Then again, you do accumulate so many things over the eons.

[Corwin]

It takes a physical effort for Seira to tear her gaze away from the doors, and then she keeps heading up!

[Anastasia]

As you walk?

Fuck Imix.

He just piles money down here and forgets about it?

Oh, you'll understand it by your 10,000th birthday. I doubt this is even a significant fraction of the wealth Imix has hidden away from across the ages. There becomes a point where unless you enjoy the sake of collection and accumulation for its own sake that it becomes meaningless.

I know this is offensive to Seira's delicate draconic ears, but gold becomes somewhat tiresome once you can create it on demand and you have great, heaping vaults full of it.

This is offensive to me as a hero. Imagine all the equipment and good you could buy with it. Or get it all together and ... and ... It could just be used so much better!

[Corwin]

It offends me the most to separate your hoard like that, Seira admits. We're definitely taking it all back with us after we take Imix down and then mixing it up properly in a great big pile!

[Anastasia]

YES!

Hahahahahahaha!

How cute. It's like Donald's your wayward son following in the family business.

[Corwin]

Donald is my treasured apprentice in all things, including being a dragon!

[Anastasia]

Meanwhile you go up another floor. This floor has no stairs that go up, and two doors - north and south.

The northern door has a plaque on it that reads, 'A-N.'

The southern door has a plaque on it that reads, 'O-Z'

On the wall besides both doors are warnings in large letters of Ignan: WARNING LOW HEAT.

[Corwin]

Rr'cracum starts with an R, so Seira decides to open the door labeled 'O-Z'. She just checks it for traps and magic first, and listens by it to try and tell whether anything can be heard from the other side.
