The Sinister Spire - GM Turn Post 136

Opening the door revealed a 5 foot by 10 foot room.

Shelves, pegs, and a stone chest suggest that this small room is a closet. A smaller stone coffer covered in runes sits on one of the shelves. The rest of the closet contains a few outfits, and a slender gray staff capped with a golden draconic head leans against the eastern wall.
When Banjo presents the rod to the arcing device, the green bolt of lightning divides into two and slowly separates in the middle until a flaring, 10-foot diameter hoop of electricity is formed. After a minute, the hoop collapses and the device returns to the original arching behavior.

What do you do next?

  3. I am guessing we go through the lightining portal. I would like to check out the "slender gray staff capped with a golden draconic head". Guessing a detect magic would be in order in this room.

    I will do a search of the closet if no one else has. A determined one like Dave does... lol

  4. whoa whoa whoa.... just like that, jump into the strange portal?

    Lets look at this rune-crusted chest first, maybe? And the staff? Check for traps, locks... UMD assist if someone needs help figuring out the functions?

  6. Whoa, totally missed that staff (unlike Matt's mom - she never misses a chance to be "staffed"). Was that not in the ID pile? If so, attempt to ID it. Cast Identify again if necessary.
