The Sinister Spire - GM Turn Post 125

Four statues are artfully posed in this chamber, each standing in one of the corners. Every wall has a door in its center. To the east of the southern doorway is an armored humanoid that has a viper’s head, and to its west is a male human with snakes for arms. To the east of the northern door is a willowy female with upturned eyes and a sneering mouth full of pointed teeth. On the doorway’s western side is a female creature that has a snake tail instead of human legs. The western door is intermittently outlined with brilliant green light, each time accompanied by a sound like the discharge of electricity.

What do you do next?

  1. Do I think a Dispel Magic would break one of these?

    1. No. The effect is instantaneous and there is technically no magic left to dispel. Flesh to Stone would be required. Not sure if Break Enchantment would work or not. Probably a moot point.

    2. We surely dont have a Flesh to Stone, but we do have DM

  2. If I dont think I can get any more information examining the statues, I revert to DMAWFSTEC mode.

  3. Thurstan and Mr Wolfe stand out of Clints way, with DM still up.

  5. Investigate: On the doorway’s western side is a female creature that has a snake tail instead of human legs.

    "Naga please?"

    1. Dargoth is fairly certain that the statue does not depict a naga. Nagas are aberrations which primarily have a serpent body with a human face.

  6. Hearing that the group has found doors, and not met with a James Bond villain style trap, Kirlic descends the rope to join his place in the ranks. (unless someone things the rope still needs guarding)

    1. Kirlic's mom is like 250 years old, if you're into that kind of thing. :)

  9. Clint will start by inspecting the floor at C4, then moving up and checking the statue at D4. Then move on to the floor in front of the East door, then the statue in D2, then the East door. Continue to painstakingly check for traps and locks and listening...
