Finding scrolls of Apportion and Locksmith could resolve that issue too. Gareth is happy to spend a few points to fill that gap.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 799):

No scrolls out here in the woods.

No, but if we ever get moving, maybe we can find some!

In reply to Gareth (msg # 802):

Ok, we seem to have ground to a halt. Gareth is keen to get moving, one way or another. We have searched the dead designer, and promised to take his body out. if we delay much longer, Gareth might just do it while the rest of you twiddle your thumbs deciding what to do. He is impulsive, after all, and if not given a task, he will come up with on of his own. Actually, he already has, you just did not want him doing it! lol...

I agree, waiting around does not help Ryojin perfect his art. I want to punch something that won't die in one hit! :D

Haveron has just noticed the tower, and suggests to the group "Perhaps we are ready for the tower, if we have leard all we can from the man."

OOC Seems like a reasonable step forward, but you know...  Have to see what the boss thinks.

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 805):

Indeed

Let Ussssss Go there

Haveron gestures for the woodsman to take the lead, and also motion for Omar to see to Amelia.  Then he proceeds to lead the group onward.

Berry will follow Haveron.

Ryojin follows suit.

In reply to Ryojin (msg # 810):

The tower, which you have difficulty focusing on, appears to be made of a black obsidian like stone, and has steps leading up to a door. The door has sigils on it, and has a spot that is really hard to look at above the door.

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 808):

Gareth falls in to follow, looking up and studying the glyphs.

[Private to GM: Rolled 10 under will.]

Haveron finds himself having difficulty with the tower, and with the glyphs in particular.  It seems he keeps getting distracted.  He might not have noticed so much, except they had seen this struggle a few times before.  Looking back, he asks Gareth and Berry "I find this tower keeps distracting me.  Something magical is going on.  Is there any way you can disrupt whatever that is?"

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 813):

The tower, while possibly made of adamantine,  has an obsidian tablet above the door.

Gareth, make a thaumatology roll regarding the glyph.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 814):

Gareth is focused on resolving the glyphs.

[Private to GM: Rolled 9 under theaumatology]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 815):

The glyphs signify that this bane is enchanted with Avoidance. It might brme hard to unmake, but there are always more ways than one of dealing with an enchanted item.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 816):

Gareth will attempt to damage the glyphs.

"These glyphs seem to be the cause of the spell. Maybe we can scuff them off..."

He just looks on, much of this not clear to him.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 818):

"It looks like our late friend left us a  tool to pry it off with."

Haveron follows along right behind Amelia on the topic.

"Hand me that metal bar our friend was carrying.  I'll see if I can destroy it that way."

OOC I had this idea before my last post, but didn't want to jump ahead of Gareth.  He ought to be good enough with a sword-like object to use the bar as a club or sword...

ooc: I can bash the gylphs with the crowbar doing 4d cr or punch them to break them doing 2d+8 cr with an AD of 1/2 or 1/3.

In reply to Ryojin (msg # 821):

Gareth will direct the efforts...

In reply to Ryojin (msg # 821):

To get the best use of the crowbar, use 2hd axe/mace for swing +2, if you have forced entry use thst skill instead plus the associated bonus. Target is about a foot square, so -4 to hit. Swing as you like, this is really just to determine time.

Target has DR4, 8 hp
