Barrow of the Forgotten King - Turn Results 18

Torvald move up and around to the top of the eye and examines the room using his Detect Evil ability. The paladin does not detect any evil auras. Thurstan and his wolf move to the left, flanking the archway to the chamber beyond. Jean moves to the right toward the archway to the chamber to the left.

Banjo moves next to Clint and comments "Pfft. I left home so I wouldn’t have to deal with this kind of crap. According to the legend on the beholder door, nothing good happens no matter what we do! Let's search the other floor tiles." Clint silently considers the sorcerer’s words and moves to the left chamber and examines the images upon the floor. Blunderbuss follows him.

The tiles all match the images carved upon the door. The tile to the immediate south is an engraved image of a bent-over man. This tile appears to be firmly fixed to the floor. The tile to the west is the engraved image of a sprawled man. This tile also appears to be firmly fixed to the floor. The one to the northwest is the engraved image of men shaking hands. This tile appears to be loose and could be removed from its setting. The rogue detects no traps on any of the three but he is still suspicious of the tiles. Gingerly he steps upon the tile with the bent-over man. This triggers a spell effect and Clint is affected by a Slow spell.

Still waiting for a turn 18 post from Matt

I am still waiting on a turn post from Matt for turn 18.


As you are investigating the room, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. This does not necessarily need to be completed in combat rounds but it does matter what you do and where you go. Just saying search the room will not cut it.

Only have receive two character posts for turn 18

I need posts for Randy, Matt and Bruce/Paul for turn 18.

Dave/Corey, if you are examining tiles, I need to know how and where you move. Are you searching, using a spell, etc? Please provide that detail.

Clint searches the doorway for traps. The rouge does not find anything out of order and proceeds cautiously to the large eye in the center of the room. He checks the area around the eye for traps and again finds nothing of concern.

He determines from his examinations that the room is some sort of puzzle modeled after a beholder and its eyes. The center room represents its body and central eye while the outer chambers represent the eye stalks. He remembers that the central eye is supposed to Dispel Magic but does not remember what any of the rest are supposed to do. He waves the rest of the group into the room.


Banjo casts Detect Magic and scans the room. While he detects magic auras, it is not very helpful as the whole room radiates magic of various schools.

Thurstan and Banjo discuss the symbols and believe that they match the eye stalks of a beholder. They believe that they have figured out nine of the ten. Only the sprawled man escapes their recall.


A bent-over man = Slow
A sprawled man = ???
A rigid man = Flesh to Stone
A running man = Fear
A levitating man = Telekinesis
Men shaking hands = Charm Person
A disappearing man struck by a ray = Disintegrate
A sleeping man = Sleep
A man with arms raised = Charm Monster
A bleeding man = Inflict Moderate Wounds.

Magical white light suddenly illuminates a wide room that's divided into four distinct areas. Each area is roughly octagonal and roughly the same size. The ceiling in each of these areas is valuted and about 20 feet high at the apex. A stylized symobol of an eye adorns the center of the tiled floor in the center section of the room.

Upon further examination of the room from the doorway additional tiled images are visible upon the floor, apparently matching the images from the door.

Clint searches the Sarcophagi check to see if any unwanted attention might lurk inside. The lids are firmly in place and show no signs of tampering. It would take considerable strength and coordination to open the crypts. Banjo casts a Detect Magic but does not sense anything. Thurstan and his wolf sniff around but do not discover anything new. The cleric collects some pieces of the defeated clockwork constructs. Blunderbuss taps his foot. Torvald looks confused.

Finding nothing of interest in the tomb, Clint moves back to the Beholder door and attempts to open the magically held door. After a bit of tinkering, the rouge is able to defeat the Arcane Lock and open the door.
