Rocking Chair room
Aware of the mechanism now, Isvand will briefly search for the activating mechanisms. I'm assuming from the above description that I'm not going to find a reset, but just in case.
I am not sure what you mean by this unless relative to the two doors which are locked. You can try to pick locks to open them.
The poltergeist is seen in the mirror by Gideon alone as a result of his prayer and
detect evil spell. But he can tell that to the others.
Is this a spirit you can banish or cause to cower? Can we hit it?? Maybe we can talk to it and figure out what it wants? Why don't we start with that? Hey you in the corner, what do you want?
The poltergeist does not respond verbally to the question from
Isvand.
You could try to Turn Undead perhaps. Typically non-corporeal undead (ghost, spectres, wraiths) are only hit by enchanted weapons and holy water, some are vulnerable to silvered weapons. Certain types of such spirit form undead are immune to magic effects (cold, sleep, hold, etc).
Gnimish & Treyvor lock in a silvered crossbow bolt each and point in the general direction of where
Gideon gestures, looking into the mirror and over his shoulder as the poltergeist flits around the room. He sees it raise its arms and dramatically gesture, much like the motion of a music conductor which immediately animates the chained skeletons behind the bricked up wall to rise up and rattle chains.
The effect is two fold. Firstly in conducting an action that might be deemed 'offensive', for that brief moment to poltergeist becomes semi-visible. Secondly, the rattling of chains causes a
Fear like effect amongst those in the room, so each needs to make a Saving Throw vs Spells (Wisdom modified).
Actions & saves please.
Scorpion room
There are three tables in this room, one in the middle of each tiled square except the one by the door.
The three small tables are pushed together and cleared off stuff,
Gerdal placed prone on top and her critical wound addressed in some practical ways. It only slows her regression slightly however and death seems to shadow her pale form.
lower her arm where she was injected, take off rings and bracelets now!
I will say the actions bring a round of relief.
She stops half way and considers something (or does she?)
Patra-patra looks at the broken constructs for any clues, wondering if the Artisans and Innovative Connoisseurs might have more knowledge of such enchanted clockworks,
Gnimish does bear a clockwork cobra based upon the one that bit Isvand & Harkazz weeks ago.
"Get the gnomes." she suggests and offers a forlorn hope that an antidote syringe might be found among the construct corpses if examined.
Amos can consider casting a
Feign Death ,
typically used 'only on a willing subject', I would rule a dying person scrabbling for extra moments to live as not being unwilling.
Sir Dewey, pragmatic but not insensitive to the dying can only pray. Acting on the suggestion he goes up the corridor after the other quartet but finds the door locked, rattling the handle but unable to open it inwards.
Actions please.
