FYI, back from when you guys were first at the bottom of the spiral stairs: Anywhere there is a pile of rubble or stones, it's difficult terrain. The stairs are only difficult terrain when moving upward. Moving laterally or down is normal.

Ah, I will remember but let's leave Adamant next to Thul and Streko for now though. I'm a little nervous about the front line all going south when we know there was a bad guy moving north a little bit ago...

It’s right where he left it. Same square he was in when he went down. Which I believe is the square 1 SE of Thul currently.

I'm not sure that's quite right, Dave. By your directions, Addy would end up 10 feet from where the glaive is. I've adjusted his route.
I was thinking it was 1SE of Thul, but it looks like it is 1SW of him. The correction works. Thanks.

I was waiting for Belarin to actually tell Melethos about the divination before doing anything, but..."I think that's best," Melethos says. He cocks his arm back and throws the marble as far as he can out over the edge and into the empty air. I think Belarin had mentioned something about it after his FIRST examination (after Jeff reminded me), but yeah, I should've said something this time around. Sorry!

Can I get a sense of how bad off Sem, Starg, and Histra are? I don't think Thul has been hurt yet. I can get the state of the PCs on the DE Stats xl but NPCs aren't there.
Then Adamant will cast the spell and spend 1 minute spreading around 2d6's...

Yup, I put that in this post: ashlock.proboards.com/post/48251/thread : FYI, Sem and Histra have 11 hit points each remaining. Thul has 36.
Easy to miss, I know. Then Adamant will cast the spell and spend 1 minute spreading around 2d6's... Do put that in the main thread, though, to make it official. And choose who the recipients will be. So this means the party is staying put for at leas 1 minute.

Adamant can't cast/heal on the move?

He can, because the casting is only 1 action and it's the doling out healing that lasts for 1 minute no matter what he's doing, as long as he's got a bonus action to spare (which outside of combat is no problem). There are just more variables while moving, especially when you don't know what's coming up. As long as nothing interrupts him in the process.
In this case, everyone also has to keep in mind the spell radius and stay close enough to him while he's doing it so they don't step out of reach.

Jeff, about how much time does Belarin think he has left on the ice armor? 20 minutes? Maybe a little more? I know we stopped for a bit earlier to figure out how to get over the gap.

Kal considers, but does not countermand Melethos' order. He simply takes his place in the center of the formation and follows up the stairs. Countermand? I thought I was doing what you wanted? What am I missing?

What am I missing? I was talking about the resting at the next landing. Also, I'm so tired right now I can't use words corobotically anymoop.

Jeff, just for my own edification, since Mel hasn't seen the carvings yet: on three of the four pillars, does each show the same partially rendered image, or are they fashioned such that, if they were somehow "put together," they would form three quarters of a full warrior?

I'm trying to go scarce on detail until someone wants to more closely examine:
I've reworded some of this in my post now, but basically: four pillars. Three of the four includes a warrior woman. The fourth has an empty spot where a woman would be.

Just a reminder that Shorak now has Reliable Talent, allowing him to cange any roll of 9 or less into 10 for any skill check that uses his proficiency bonus. So, the lowest perception he would ever get is a 15.

Jeff, which direction is the statue that's missing supposed to be facing? You said one is facing in each direction...

Also, Darren, Feel free to have Kal intervene if you don't want that small group to explore a little further.

That's exactly the sort of detail that you can get by moving in closer and expressing examination in the main thread. Kal is 50 ft. from the entrance, and the room is like twice that distance across, so he's got to expressedly move in a bit and look. Happy to deal out information, but I always feel like I'm saying stuff that no one's reading. So I'd rather you describe what you're looking for. Otherwise, you can only work with what I've put on the map.

I was reading from my phone and didn't really have time to put a whole post together and slow things down for something that was more curiosity than something that I thought was a really important detail.

Gotcha, but I don't know what else to say here. I'm happy to clarify stuff here, but I don't want to provide new information that's already part of the main thread here.

That's what I call teamwork. Shorak loots the dead body and then Belarin talks to it.

I really do observe and lean into this part of the spell: "...and the corpse is under no compulsion to offer a truthful answer if you are hostile to it or it recognizes you as an enemy." A more neutral corpse will be more inclined to be "helpful."

"What I hear you saying", Jeff is that we should start killing our friends to ask them questions... (I'm a big fan using the "what I hear you saying" and then willfully mis-interpreting what I heard you say... one of the many reasons my dear Colleen is a saint... )
