OOC:
Either way, I will post later today.

Biscuit: "Are you crazy? She is beautiful!"

OOC: Yep, go for it.

Believe a dwarf - an arrow won't do anything to stone statue. That is - if it is a stone statue.
Besides - e explains - an arrow will illuminate the statue so you could really see how beautiful it is - Mole explain to his companion who don't have a darkvision.
OOC:
Since I got magical arrows I think it is just a matter of time until I hit each statue once, no need to roll anything - right?

You may fire at the statues with no need to roll.

OOC:

Mole blasts each statue, engulfing them in cerulean light. They remain still and undamaged as the holy light diminishes to the weak dim light of the depths.
Jan 21, 2026 3:16 pm
I guess we enter, don't we? Mole say and comes close the the doors looking at them, but not daring to enter
I guess we enter, don't we? he repeats
OOC:
Clarification - is it dark or a dim-light and we could see temple without relying on darkvision.
Also - do doors have a keyhole or any other features of worth mentioning?

OOC:
Great questions:
Light - there is a bit of dim light. Darkvision makes it appear as normal lighting however the murky water limits Darkvision to 120 yards outdoors.
As you approach, you see that the doors are 15 feet high and made of gold. They are intricately carved in bas relief with whimsical sea creatrures as well as the more common sharks, squids and whales. There are no handles or keyholes. They look like two solid pieces of metal. There is an elvish script above the door.

Varos will walk up to the doors and read the script written there.
Jan 22, 2026 3:30 am
The Elven Script reads:

"Only those who bear the Gifts of the Deep may enter."

Biscuit: "What’s it say? Does it tell us how to turn that beautiful statue into a real person?"
Jan 22, 2026 11:48 am
Mole laughs at Biscuit's suggestion and tries to joke back:
- I guess it is say kick the doors open and miss to mention "be ready for a fight for your life". Umm actually. Fight to safe whole world.

Biscuit: "Hmmm…I think I would prefer a beautiful woman."
Jan 22, 2026 11:17 pm
"It says, 'Only those who bear gifts of the deep may enter', We have been given gifts in the deep."
Jan 23, 2026 10:19 am
good to know Mole smiles then asks Ready? and without waiting for answer tries to push door open as quite as he can
Jan 24, 2026 2:43 am
He gently pushes the doors, but they do not open. He pushes harder this time and they still will not open. Mole uses his mighty thighs and shoulders to try to force the doors open but to no avail. The won't budge.
Jan 24, 2026 6:17 am
well. We tried. is it a relief you hear in dwarf's voice?
Jan 24, 2026 1:38 pm
Varos will move up to the doors and place his gifted against it and try to open them.
Jan 24, 2026 8:39 pm
The doors still do not open...
Jan 25, 2026 9:14 am
Mole: Since mother hush didn't instruct us how to get inside I assume doors are simply blocked, will need to find another entrance or wait until ht gets outside - it can't conquer the world without contacting it's minions, can it?

Mole will go around and check for any windows or cracks in wall
