on traps, liches and standing stones

We dried off and smacked merit around for jumping to the pool without checking, who jumps into a pool in the middle of a tower?  , we searched the room and found some information on the plane shifter we were looking for and found that  he was likely an Eladrin, but we were not sure. We slowly and quietly walked to the 2^nd floor and saw nothing there. It was another big floor with 4 rooms on the sides filled with books on various subjects, on eladrin and other subjects. I went to check the other room which held a big bad and crept closer and saw something odd with one of the floor boards. I told the rest to hang back and manage to disarm a lightning trap that would fry us bad had I not noticed, luck (or skill), we kept looking in the room which must have held something important if it’s worth guarding with trap and then I noticed another trap, 2 traps must be something good, this one was a poison needle , a deadly prick indeed. And behind a tiny chamber we found a chest with a strange rock, a flute and a book radiating with magic next to a star map, we did not know how to use yet but it seems like valuable treasure.

 

We walked up to the 3^rd floor and came across a huge beast of a skeleton in a big lizard form, a dragolich. This huge lizard of bone and stinky flesh stood high looking down on us in a cocky and  self assured manner. There is not much room to talk when you meet the undead, you either kill them, be killed, or worse, die and become undead yourself (unless that is your thing) we chose option A. the lich tried option B and summoned a shadow servant, the servant magically made the area dark and made it hard to see and debone the lich, but we managed by placing it in a wall of firing and forcing it to remain there till it burned to death. The problem with liches is that they don’t truly die, we have not seen the end of this lich, we modified the traps we found a floor below and placed them in the large window the lich used to enter the tower, it will not stop the lich, but it will feel nice to hit it with its own weapon.

 

We searched the room when the darkness went away and didn’t see anything hidden except the large obvious circle in the side of the room, a teleporter.

It was obvious to me where this portal was leading and I dint think twice and stepped in, the rest came soon after and we found ourselves in the standing stones, on the floating island above the tower. Huge stones we all around and we were on an island about 40 ft in diameter and 4 smaller islands around it, we didn’t have to wait long to be attached by more beast of air and mud, I pushed one of them off the island and It fell down and crashed , the rest we slew by sword in the usual way.

It was time to find the plane shifter.  In the middle of the island stood a large stone with special markings on it, it took us time to discover that the marking were similar to the markings on the small rock we found on at the chest below. It was night and the star were shining and again after research we manage to find a code in the star map based on the star and another portal opened, we went in and found ourselves in a huge dark cave, instead of reaching the plane shifter we found our self in the huge underground land of under dark.
