Reaching the entrance to the Repository required an ascent to the ledge 90 feet above. The first 60 feet can be covered by making a DC 10 Climb check. The final 30 feet are over a slick surface, which required a DC 15 Climb check. Reward the PCs as if they completed an EL 0,5 challenge.
 

1. Significant Choices (EL 1, 1 and 1)

Summary:This small entrance area splits into three corridors all guarded by a trap.

Sights and Sounds: PCs within 15 feet of the opened doors must make a DC 10 Fortitude save or become nauseated for 1d4 rounds.

Light and fresh air rushes through the opened entrance. Old stale air reaches nostrils used to oxygen rich environment as is released from its tomb flows. A low tunnel leads into the darkness. Somewhere in the distance the cave splits into three corridors.

I’m a little behind on my 52 book reviews, so I’ll try to do a couple today and more to follow. I read Betrayal a while ago. It is the first in the Trinity series (Betrayal – Revenge – Destiny).

15. Betrayal - Fiona McIntosh

Fiona McIntosh introduces a new kind of magic. Those with magical powers are called Sentients and they are outlawed. The main character is one of these Sentients. This boy, Torkyn Gynt, must keep his powers a secret and learn to use them. Read the full story here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betrayal_(Fiona_McIntosh_novel)) .

I liked the book so much that I bought the other two novels in the series also and I read them on vacation to France.

Fortunately I've got an outline in which I've got most of the encounters covered and I've got chapter 1 saved in another file. Unfortunately, I made some changes to chapter 1 in the mean time. Also I had done the style book for the word file, which cost me considerable time.

Agonized Wail (Ex) As a standard action, a broken soul can emit an agonized wail that inspires terror in every creature within 120 feet that has fewer character levels than itself. Each potentially affected opponent must succeed on a DC 13 Will save or become shaken. This condition lasts until the affected opponent is out of range. A succesfull saving throw renders an opponent immune to that broken soul´s agonized wail for 1 minute.

Baleful Gaze (Su) Any creature within 60 feet that meets a broken soul´s gaze must succeed on a DC 10 Fortitude save or take 1d4 points of Strength drain, 1d4 points of Constitution drain, and 1d4 points of Charisma drain. Whatever the result of the saving throw, the creature cannot be affected by the same broken soul´s baleful gaze again for 1 minute.

Torturous Touch (Su) A broken soul can deliver a torturous touch by making a successful melee touch attack against a target. Any creature struck by this attack must succeed on a DC 10 Fortitude save or take 2d6 points of Dexterity damage. Furthermore, the affected creature immediately falls prone and lies convulsing and helpless for 1d4 rounds.
