Mags, having followed Sarric into the tower hovers near the Minotaur room, torn between the sight of a free lunch just sitting there on the table and then lure of the gem sitting in the entranceway. He feels like one of the red toads, unable to make a decision. In the end he opts decides to forgo both for now, settle on a ration snack and ask the Minotaur a question.
"Err, excuse me Miss, would you happen to know of a music room or something similar hereabouts? Also, I have some gornroot powder in my rations if you'd like to add a little to your food, which I must say look delicious."
He wipes a thin dribble of saliva from a tusk.

"Oh there's a music room, up a couple of floors though. You'll like it. Be very careful on the way up there. Look this tower is a dog eat dog world. Us "caretakers" can handle each other, but some of us would be too much for you guys and they're not as welcoming as me. And us caretakers are the nicest thing in here.

Oh and no gornroot please, the food is tailored to me precisely"

Retula hears a creak under the rug.

OOC : Not sure of the geography and orientation of the room. If feasible, while Mags has the Minotess distracted, Retula will summon Patinkin near to the rug and outside of the Minotess's field of view, to lift a corner and take a peek. I know it's a non-play day, just sticking it in while it's relevant. That last sentence, while clumsy and unintentional, is still better than any Vrakrash chat-up line.

Patinkin takes a peak under the rug. A steel trapdoor is mounted into the wooden floor beneath.

Banjo · 17-08-2018 12:50pm

Retula nonchalantly dismisses her familiar, wanders aimlessly towards the rug, shuffling and tapping as if idly dancing to get a sense of how solid the floor feels, then at least 6 seconds later when she gets near to the Trapdoor she summons Patinkin again about 5 feet beneath the trap door.

OOC : Find Familar states "As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you." - there's no mention that I have to be able to see that space unlike, say Blessing of the RQ. So hopefully this works. If 5ft isn't far enough, she'll increase in 2 1/2 foot increments and repeat. Manticore should have Darkvision and can fly. If it's in immediate mortal danger she'll dismiss it again, otherwise she'll spend an action to take a look through it's eyes and assess

Fourier · 17-08-2018 1:02pm

Patinkin appears in a brightly lit room whose walls are caked in blood. Two doors move along the surface of the walls moving in a North-East-South-West order, one on the opposite face to the other.

The ceiling is steel.

One of the doors is carved from a rare metal that has a silver appearance, though with an aura the magically sensitive can notice. The other door is wooden and a plaque on its front says "Binding Studies".

Banjo · 17-08-2018 2:52pm

OOC : Ok, I didn't really get a chance to get to know Patinkin, including finding out his actual name, and whether or not he's a he. (And since the moment when him being named Manti (core) Patinkin might have been worth a giggle, has passed, I'm more than happy to call him/her something else ) But more importantly :
Face : Human, Lion, Tiger, Humany-feline hybrid, tentacles
Front limbs : Hands , paws, hand-like paws, paw-like hands, tentacles
Body : Lion, tiger, Chest of a dude with lion junk, tentacles
Wings : Birdlike, Draconic, Tentacles
Rear Limbs : Feline, Birdlike, Tentacles
Tail : Feline, More tentacles, Scorpionlike, Feline but with spikes, segmented with spikes, big tentacle with little tentacles on the end, Another face (human, lion, etc etc.)
Just so I can strategise around this by having an idea of what it can and can't do.

Fourier · 19-08-2018 6:37pm

OOC: Are the lists questions? i.e. Is his face a Human, Lion, Tiger, Humany-feline hybrid, tentacles?

Fourier · 19-08-2018 6:38pm

The Minotaur rises after finishing her food and heads out the door to the South.

Necro · 19-08-2018 6:44pm

Vrakrash pulls the polar bear rug from its position and checks beneath it for anything of note.

Evade · 19-08-2018 6:47pm

Iuric heads to the south door and looks through if it's open or stands guard if it isn't.

He sees the metallic trapdoor mounted into the floor.

Necro · 19-08-2018 6:51pm

Vrakrash tentatively checks the trapdoor to see if it opens easily.

He sees a quite empty room with only three stairs, a glass table and stairs going up.

The trapdoor lifts with ease.

He sees a ladder going down and a metallic room caked in blood below.

Necro · 19-08-2018 6:54pm

Vrakrash looks at Iuric.

'Gonna check this out. Lots of blood down there though. Could be dangerous.'

Vrakrash checks the ladder for traps and slowly proceeds down it.

"Sounds as if it could be dangerous, I shall accompany you. Besides, the room ahead looks quite normal." Iuric follow Vrakrash

Vrakrash checks the ladder for traps and slowly proceeds down it.

Climbing down he sees the doors rotating about the walls., one with "Binding Studies" written on it.

The ceiling is steel in construction and the room is brightly lit from no visible light source.

Vrakrash calls up to Karinth.

'Hey, Karinth - know anything about... Binding Studies? If so, this room might interest you.'

Vrakrash examines the other doors.

Vrakrash examines the other doors.

"Yes, usually for controlling Demons and Devils, down in a minute dragon"

The only other door has a strange green tree with snakes as leaves carved on it.

Necro · 19-08-2018 7:05pm

Vrakrash tries to open the green tree door.

A pulse of green power runs through the door and Vrakrash feels his body shiver. His stomach turns, as he feels his organs growing and moving. Though for now there are no outward changes.

Opening the door, there is a laboratory with various fluids and vials on six benches.

Behind the last bench there is a steel door.

Fourier · 19-08-2018 7:19pm

Patinkin walks in behind Vrakrash.

Vrakrash rubs his stomach and enters the lab, calling up to Retula this time.

'Hey... Rettie? There's some sort of laboratory down here... wanna... check it out?'

Evade · 19-08-2018 7:26pm

"That was... Are you injured?" Iuric asks Vrakrash. Then he moves to examine the steel door and opens it if nothing looks out of the ordinary.

'No. I feel.. different, but not injured. Who knows what power that contained. Be on your guard lest some change occurs. I know very little of magic or it's effects.'

The door has a septagonal magic symbol on it, done in magenta paint.

Sarric noticing the minator exits south snoops over to the table and examines the four other meals set up at the table.

Meat and Veg dishes, though of very high quality produce. The sauce smells delicious even from a distance.

sKeith · 19-08-2018 7:49pm

Sarric looks for a spoon, and if found, he will try the sauce.

The sauce is delicious beyond words and strengthening. Sarric feels bolstered.

OOC: Max HP increased by 4

As soon as he swallows the first mouthful, a magic effect sweeps over the sauce and on every dish it turns from the golden colour it had to a blackish purple.

"Duuuuh, that's what I was doing before you decided to start searching for traps with your face!"
Retula sighs and descends, head towards where Vrakrash is.

Ooc :let me know if the raven fits. Also if she knows what the Glyph on Iuric's door is, let me know

"Hey, what are you doing in here?" She asks Patinkin

Fourier · 19-08-2018 8:01pm

"Just decided to wander in and have a look" Patinkin replies. "So much disorder on your plane"

Retula knows the symbol is an archaic word for "High Quality Potions" in the old Elvish magical tongue.

'Hands, actually - how would you have suggested opening the door, smarty-pants?'

He gestures to the steel door.

'Quite happy for you to educate us on the finer arts of door opening though.'

Banjo · 19-08-2018 8:12pm

Retula checks the door with Hetyaro's help, then gets Patinkin to use his pawhands / tentacles to try to open the door. Unless he hasn't got those handypaws

Fourier · 19-08-2018 8:18pm

OOC: Patinkin looks like this:

Retula and Hetyaro check the door, finding no obvious traps.

Patinkin pulls at the door, but it is locked tight.

Necro · 19-08-2018 8:19pm

Vrakrash smirks.

'Need any help there Rettie?'

Banjo · 19-08-2018 8:30pm

If there's no obvious locking / opening mechanism for the halflings to work on, blink Patinkin to the other side for a quick look (check room first, then door)

"Dude, the point is to not use nonexpendable assets to turn the handle. I'm not a locksmith.i thought we brought a pro for that?"

Evade · 19-08-2018 8:34pm

While waiting for the halflings to show up Iuric knocks on the door.

Fourier · 19-08-2018 8:40pm

Patinkin blinks into the room which posses a high ceiling. There is only a locked cabinet made of maple wood with nine potions of various hues. It lies unlocked.

When Iuric knocks, Patinkin sees a large snake become visible on the ceiling and slither down to the floor.

"Hello Manticore, what are you doing here. These potions won't work on you"

**It speaks to me Retula, what do I say?**
