#Dungeon 23 Project - The Ruins of Mount Auyán (Day 016)

Room #1 (on this level) Continuing on from yesterday, you have decided to go through Portal A. On passing through the portal you feel like you were immersed in extremely cold water (you are not wet) and you are shivering when you come out the other side. You are in a room that has no visible doors, just blank featureless walls and as you stand there looking around the take on a wood grain pattern. The room is 20'x20'.

What do you do?

If they search for secret door they could find none or they could find up to four, one on each wall. Each of the four doors, if found and opened, lead into another room. 

#2 The door in the wall directly in front of you as you came through the portal will lead into a 20'x30' room. The walls are covered in hanging cloth of a solid color under a thick layer of dust. The walls to your left and right have statues wearing armor, holding swords and shields, no dust is on the statues, or their armor or their weapons. There are six to your right and six to your left. There is a thick layer of dust on the floor. At the far end of the room is a large wooden chest on the floor, it is substantially reinforced with steel bands around it. The top had a lock. It is all covered with dust.

What do you do?

The lock is trapped and if they just start working on the lock they are likely to trip it and poison gas will be released requiring all to make a saving throw. A made saving throw allows other actions to be taken, but death will result within 12 hours if the appropriate spell is not cast. A missed saving throw means you are will soon be dead, a healing spell with keep you alive for up to 6 hours. The appropriate spell will save your life.

If they are careful the trap can be disabled by skillful use of two long thin metal tools. Then the chest can be unlocked. Once the chest is unlocked and the lid is raised the statues will come to life and they will attack you. They will fight with some degree of skill and you will soon wonder if their armor and/or shields are magical, fortunately the swords are not magic as only living creatures may use magical swords (other magical weapons, but not swords).

If you are successful in over coming the statues they will crumble away to dust leaving their armor (includes helm of course), shields and swords behind. 

The Chest contains two large royal blue blankets of a very high quality wool, which if checked will detect magic. At the bottom of the chest are two platinum coins and two rings. The Rings will detect as magic.

What do you do?
