"I shall explore further, nu?"

"Becareful" earl says,"Remember, I have to heal you if you get hurt and I've only got so many spells"

"Aye, aye, but I want to know...."

And that is when, Zara stumbles onto the glyph! IT ignites "Oh dear, failed to find it until it was too late.. now, will save"

Earl mutters "Knowinbg her she got the iron will feat, probably because she hates being enslaved and the like"

"What is that tone for?"

"Tone? I got no tone" earl says soft cough

"Now, I do happen to have iron will..."

"No" Earl says straight faced

"That's a plus two. Roll em" Oswald says

"Aye, aye..."

And when she rolls.. she makes it, thanks to that +2!

"For a moment, you feel a dark and evil force seek to overwhelm your will... but then, you shake it off! " Oswald says

Hiss!

Bachdion whispers to Earl "She's not going to rub that Feat making the difference in your face is she?"

"Naaah" Earl says

"Finally," Oswald says "with that mindsnare gylph gone off... you approach the iron gates of the vault. A strength ccheck is required."

Everyone looks at Emma

"Ogg smash?"

"Well, Ogg rip open" A nod From Bachdion

"OGGETTE SMASH"

And the sealed chamber is broken open by a nineteen plus modifers!

"Ogg-ogg-oggity-ogg!"

Zara sighs.

Earl pats her on the back "Happens"

"you stand in a cavern of statues... their faces frozen..."

Oswald says "Some have fallen over"

Bachdion says "Do I even need to roll to guess a medusa?""

"Oh, fun!"

"Though Medusa is but one Gorgon... she has sisters, nu? Stheno, Euryale..."

"Mm roll if you want, Sublime one" Oswald says

Bachdion rolls and says "I think I got it,"

"Could also be a cockatrace, or.. basilisk!" Oswald says

"Ogg smash?"

"No no.. let's.. try something else" Bachdion says and "Can we hear any sounds of scuttling or the like?"

Rolls are made, and Zara's rogue scores highest and can hear it behind the statue of a stone ogre

"I cast glitter dust at the location our dear rogue points" Bachdion declares

"Congrats, you have blinded the basilisk..which is.." Oswald makes more rolls "RATHER pissed"

"Ogg smash!"

And the Barbarian unleashes her bearded fury!

A few magic missles, and a surprise attack by the rogue...

well, dead basilisk

"Ogg-ogg-oggity..."

"Well, that poor thing was supposed to be tougher than that" Oswald coughs "But regardless..." He laments his poor baby quietly, "The path leads on ward to the burial resting place. And here, o adventurers, we stop, until next week"

"What?" earl blinks

"I got guard duty in ten minutes" Oswald says 'Sorry"

"But I wish to know..."

"Then show up next week" Oswald says gathering his gear "sound good?"

Huff!

Earl says "I think we'll be there, but expect dirty looks until we game again " there's no need to stay WHO will be shooting the the dirty looks
