The Mystery of the Sea Door Part 7

Once inside the sun room the first item someone would notice is the small alter with a beautiful globe of yellow swirly glass elevated by what appears air above it.  The room is dark, but there are sconces and lightstones, which are covered, that could light the room.  Frescoes of  winged elves praising the sun and offering gifts to the sun decorate the room's walls.  The floor also has writing upon the stone tile in the same language as around the door jam.

For the GM the floating globe is suspended by magic, which is still strong after all these years.  If the globe is touched it begins to spin, glow, and the colors swirl in varying hues of gold. It's just for decoration, but it probably worth a lot of money. The writing upon the floor is a story in the ancient form of Ancient Elven about the creation of the sun.  This also has a 95% fail rate to translate if someone has elven.  Forgot to mention if they somehow know Ancient Elven, (which should not be something a GM allows lightly), they only have a 50% fail rate.

The Mystery of The Sea Door Part 6

The door with the sun upon it is carved from a solid piece of cherry wood, the doorknob and hinges sparkle in torch light, as if gilded with gold.  There is carved writing around the door jam in a language that is not easily discerned. 

For the GM, the language is an ancient form of Ancient Elven.  For those characters who do not have Ancient Elven, but some sort of elven, they can try but they will have a 95% failure chance.  The words say, "The sun rises in the west, as do our lives."

There is a a trap upon the door, an easy needle trap, that will insert a sleep poison if set off.

Tomorrow, the inside of the room.

Happy Veteran's Day

Thank you to all the veterans who keep us safe and protect the world from the evils brought on by human kind.  Without all of you, we would not have the freedoms we have and women, like me, would never have the chance to speak their minds.  Keep safe and thank you so very much for your service, whether now or in the past.

The Mystery of the Sea Door Part 5

The hallway beyond is unlit, so your group will need to have light, (or night vision of some sort), to navigate the hallway.  There are frescoes of elementals, oceans, forests and the night sky on the walls.  A knowledge roll for stars and constellations will show that the night sky frescoes are accurate.The hall way slopes down, then flattens out continuing onward, but there are two doors, one on either side of the hallway.  One has a sun on the face, the other has stars that also seem to dance as the main door did.
