I will accompany Orsik as he moves to the other chamber.

Nyx figure out nothing is magical in neither this nor next chamber (or if it is then it is well protected against his magical detection). Nyx could recall from books how black dragons look like and Friezes seems to be close to what he have seen.
OOC:
Plants are typical for local fauna, but Nyx wouldn't know that. Perhaps if he would ask an any other PC they would tell him
Criella understand that this room is garden and is used to grow some plants watered by sprinkler and grow in this underground thanks to compost. It is strange though why would one grow plans in such a darkness and not surprising they would grow good.

Tinkara flying close enough to the ceiling examine the friezes notices tiny holes in the dragons' mouths.
Orsik find nothing special in next chamber but an exit to another room which is interesting indeed

A four-foot-high, seven-foot-wide iron lectern in the middle of this rusty, iron-plated room is topped by a slanted control panel. Set into the control panel are a gold lever with a star-shaped handle, two dials in red and blue, and two buttons of the same colors. Wall engravings behind the control panel show five groups of circles, with a small crystal embedded in the wall under each one. The crystal under the configuration labeled "3" glows bright green. Three six-inch-diameter rusty iron pipes jut from the wall above the engravings.

OOC:
I can share a bit more visual handouts with you when/if you move into that room
What do you each do?

Tante Lude and the celestial go forward into the next room. (The control room)

"So, we aren't going to say that name it said to say on the wall and presumably summon an angry black dragon? I'm good with that. Anyone have a good explanation for dealing with this one other than taking the damage?"

Following the others he quickly leaves the acid chamber, sure the holes on the friezes are used to spay acid though for what purpose he is unsure. Moving to the room with the controls he examines them This is beyond my expertise and shrugs.
OOC:
I'll try and re-read this weekend but as of now am not sure what the point of the place is

I dread that the spaying system might include acid and those are controls for it." as she points to the controls. "Might not be good to be in here while activating those controls."

She hazards the thought of if the skull is acid proof.

Orsik will move into the control room and cast detect magic.

Rolls

Detect Magic - (1d20+8)

(10) + 8 = 18

Jul 25, 2025 11:30 pm
I move to the control room with Orsik.
Jul 26, 2025 2:31 am
OOC:
Nyx still hasdetect magic active as it lasts 10 minutes,.
You can save the spell slot
Jul 26, 2025 6:49 am
OOC:
Yes since party have detect magic as ritual I always assume you have it active and no roll needed for detect magic.
Party quickly moves out of the suspicious chamber with black dragons and possible acid spray and into the control room (not without help of the flying Criella to avoid stepping into another slime)
You feel no magic in either of these rooms (apart from anything magical you have in your possession)
OOC:

@badbaron if celestial follow you into the control room it wil be quite stuffed with people (given smile puddle takes up one corner) and I will have to roll another 1d10 for damage and another one when you leave, let me know if you choose to do that
Below you will discover official module handout with room illustration. Illustration is 100% informative, not just illustrative.

I give the room a bewildered look.

"Maybe the controls change between groups of three rooms? I don't have a clue otherwise."
Jul 26, 2025 12:28 pm
"Maybe it turns the rooms and opens up other paths to tread. The green light is where we are at currently?"

Celestial starts to come in and the room suddenly feels claustrophobic. Tante Lude asks him to wait just outside the door and keep watch while avoiding the flora.
Jul 27, 2025 7:11 pm
Orsik will reach up and pull the lever to see what happens.
Jul 27, 2025 8:08 pm
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e6/82/0f/e6820f4a79f3ad993ef1e31aa0b559c9.jpg Criella thinks, "Gee. Everyone thinks the wand of wonder is bad." as she sees Orsik just pull a lever.

Nyx send Zim into the first room with vegetation before the lever is pulled
Jul 27, 2025 10:04 pm
Tante Lude spoke up quickly when she sees Orsik reach for the level"

"Aren't we even going to look for color clues around here?"

Orsik pulls the Gold Lever to the down position. The slime of similar colour and consistency as you have experienced already begins to pour into the room through the iron pipes above the wall engraving.
It is quite obvious all of this room floor will be covered with the slime in no time.
OOC:
Slime is pouring at quite an intensity, so I would suggest everyone now describe their PC actions as if it is a single combat round (one action, BA and movement as per combat). If you are on the floor of the the room by the end of the turn - slime will reach you and assuming it is the same slime you will be getting the psychic damage

round 1 everyone

Jul 28, 2025 9:02 am
OOC:
Unless the door locked, GM said nothing about slime pouring into adjacent rooms. All of us who don't fly should be able to run for the door and have one of the fliers continue to press buttons and pull levers. I hope.
Jul 28, 2025 9:47 am
Orsik will run for the door they just entered trying to avoid as much slime as possible.
