Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
I do the first three in the top row: Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius. Do they react the same way?

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
As you press them, they glow as you expect. As you wait you hear a familiar blaring sound as water begins to pour into the room. It fills faster than the last time, as you briefly glance at the wall you can see why, the runes that weren't etched as deeply are hemorrhaging water.

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
I look around to see if there's anyplace I'm supposed to swim to.

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
I guess I swim back out into the hallway.

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
(1d20+4)[21] to... is this to avoid banging my head against the wall, or just to keep it above the water?

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
(It is for you to maintain control of your speed and direction so you aren't bashed into a wall or other hard surface with force, thus taking damage. Which you quite successfully did by the way.) Do you want to stay in place, continue along, go back into the room? What are your goals and actions here?

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
Well, I'd assumed the purpose of the water was to carry me somewhere, but you implied there was no obvious exit in the ceiling of the room I was in. So I was going to go out into the hallway to look for the exit the water is meant to let me reach.

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
As you swim along, you take your time and look for any exits. You get to the end of the hallway and you see two doorways, one on each side. They are both above the floor, but within reach given the height of the water. You start to swim towards them and that is when you notice that they are getting further away. You look around for a second and realize the current has switched and the water is receding back into the room.

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
Do I notice any handholds in the wall that will still be in reach when I get to the doorways, if I start pushing myself right now?
If not, I start swimming back to the room with the runes, eventually letting that turn into a walk when I reach the ground.Active Chars:

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
Can I see any of what's behind them from the water level? And how far apart are they?

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
There is one on either side of the hallway, so 15' apart. There are no doors, so you can see the same cave like structure continues into each room. As you look around, you remember the door on the left is the one you came out of.

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
You are easily able to swim up and use your momentum to scramble up onto the ledge above, despite your wet hands and feet. You pull yourself up and find yourself standing in the doorway of another 15'x15' room. On the far side is another doorway.

I look around as I walk towards that doorway. Anything of note?

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
Just a plain, cave-like room. Beyond the doorway you see another hall, again about 30' below your current height.
(Investigation check if you'd like to search for something. Athletics to climb down. You could try acrobatics to leap down.)

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
(I figured if there was something plainly there, or if there was nothing there at all, you wouldn't make me roll, and that you'd tell me to roll if there was something hidden.)
(Anyway, I know I could try Acrobatics, but I have a higher Athletics, so I'm probably better off doing that. (1d20+4)[11] to climb down.)
(Edit: I'm not sure I like that result, but I'm sure I wouldn't have liked a seven.)Last edited by whiteflash; 2019-08-20 at 09:59 AM.

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
You begin to climb down. You are still wet from your recent swim, and you slip and fall part way down. Luckily, you find the floor is only about 5' below you as you land unharmed but sore from the climb. As you look around there is an all too familiar looking hallway. It is dark except the minimal light above you, and it seems that it goes on far out of sight given the depth of the shadows. The hall itself is 10' wide and a rough, natural rock material.

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
Is there any keyhole or window to look through?
And is there any sound coming from the other side?
If there's neither, I just open it.Active Chars:

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
There is no sound. It isn't locked and there is no window. You open the door and see a familiar sight in front of you, a large smooth wall covered in runes. Unlike the previous times though, the entire wall is covered in runes. A quick count tells you there are probably 100 runes, but they aren't organized neatly like before.

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
I walk in a straight line towards the wall and push the nearest five. What happens?

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
Did the two loud bangs seem to coincide with any two symbols? And does the door behind me seem to have sealed itself shut or anything?
Do the symbols start glowing? And if so, do they stay that way?Active Chars:

Re: Trial of character: Whiteflash
The symbols glowed as you first touched them, but immediately faded. As you look around, it appears that the door behind you has shut. Looking around, you notice that there is a second door in this room that is also now shut.
