¡°Not to tell you yer business, but are you planning to check all the pyramids for secret compartments?¡±
¡°Yup,¡± the?Rogue?answers. ¡°Done and dusted, but you¡¯re free to triple check if you want.¡±
North?tests the raft for traps in his usual own unique way, and finding none he lands and collects some treasure. Unfortunately in crow form he
can¡¯t carry very much. The items include a stone box, two jade bracelets, and an alabaster statuette.?
The?Gnome?is most interested in the granite baton, so he grabs that and making an educated guess that the statuette is
the most valuable item, he considers having it but it¡¯s too heavy, as is the stone box. Since a Raven only has a STR of 2 (MM pg. 335), he decides the baton will have to suffice.
Returning to the group, he gives the baton to?Mira?to examine since he wants to stay in Crow form to possibly fly back
and gather more treasure. The baton is a scroll case with a cleverly fashioned plug, which?Flynn?is able to unhitch, rotating the end clockwise
1/4 turn, pressing in on the spring, then rotating counterclockwise 1/2 turn and pulling up.?
Within the case is a piece of faded parchment- a spell scroll written in astrological symbols of the Payit. It takes a few moments, but between
Mira and Flynn they translate the spell as Stone Shape. It will take
North several hours of study to learn the proper casting of the spell, but he¡¯s confident he can master it.
A rather bored?Tabby?comments on Company names, but?Fenn?apologizes.
¡°That but I would be honored to accompany your group further, but I regret that my attention must be to recovering the Rod, which means going deeper into the tomb from whence you¡¯ve already come. Good Journeys to you and yours and Tymora¡¯s Blessing on your
quest. You have my eternal gratitude for your aid thus far. Perhaps we will meet again, here or beyond,¡± he says with a hint of a sad smile.?
Mira?takes out the map again and begins explaining possibilities her companions.
And what do you do?
OOC: Stone Shape is a Level 4 spell. North is level 7 and therefore has ONE 4th level spell slot. Also, apologies for assuming North¡¯s actions after recovering the baton.
I didn¡¯t want him to have to drop Animal Shape to identify the scroll spell.?Also, Fenn¡¯s group isn¡¯t leaving immediately, so if you
have other things to talk about feel free. /OOC

Stone Shape
4th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (soft clay, which must be worked into roughly the desired shape of the stone object)?
Duration: Instantaneous
You touch a stone object of Medium size or smaller or
a section of stone no more than 5 feet in any dimension and form it into any shape that suits your purpose. So, for example, you could shape a large rock into a weapon, idol, or coffer, or make a small passage through a wall, as long as the wall is less than
5 feet thick. You could also shape a stone door or its frame to seal the door shut. The object you create can have up to two hinges and a latch, but finer mechanical detail isn¡¯t possible.
