The end of an Era has come. Magic is broken. New Heroes are needed to face the challenges of the new Age!
On the way to the temple the group spotted a black line through the forest. They decide it is/was a magic circle.Once at the temple Robert climbs up and promptly falls through the roof. The others join him inside only to find some shadowy creatures trying to strangle him. The group engages the shadows and they flee or are destroyed.We search the rest of the temple and find a mummified version of the high cleric...who promptly freezes half the group in its tracks. The others once again engage and destroy the creature. Quorl gets a nasty case of the rot and is saved just in time by Uleric and a scroll.With the immediate threat gone the group finishes it's search and finds a cache of food in the basement. They also find the device that created the mummy thanks to the insight from Vasilli.The last of the shadow creatures returns just before morning and is destroyed. The group returns to Portet and relays what happened to the First Constable.He then assigns them another mission to the lighthouse. The group finds the tracks of the other group of constables in but not out. They enter the lighthouse and shortly realize they are in a 'maze'. The only way out is to 'think' your way out. After much thinking Vassili disappears. Leaving the rest of the group to fend for themselves.
Ularik would have had time to identify all of the scrolls, I believe.
So, can Gneetagh take 20 to "think" his way out of the maze? It's obvious he can do nothing else and he witnessed Vissilli escape, so he knows it's possible.
. It's not a skill so you can't take 20 and you can't make the check.
