They had it on them, but haven’t tried to figure out what it is yet. 

Also, this gem in the temple of Xathaqua 😅

Being curious by nature -- and perhaps a bit foolhardy -- Circe draws a blowgun needle and dabs it into the liquid, stirring it. If nothing happens, she withdraws it and sees if it is flammable. Perhaps the oil in these basins is meant to be lit, and these basins are in fact braziers?”

"It's plan as good as any, Maybe gather our meager supplies and just camp out here until something happens or we get bored waiting?"

The magical (super science?) properties of the room should react with the grenade and blow open a gaping hole to the Black Gulf!

Haha. That would actually solve things. The overall quest is to get the Stygian Stone from The Black Moss-Hag of Lug to the end of the world and yeet it into the black gulf. Of course, they think they can just sail there 

Before I saw the replies I ended up just having the room be destroyed and the map obliterated with the writing by Vikland glowing then fading as the magic was destroyed. They didn't have decipher script anyway.

"Who is this Auziwandilz and where may he be? I am something of a thief myself so I may be able to pull that off."

So, one of the PCs tossed a grenade into room 10, the Hexagonal Map room, in order to take out the cockroaches. Then another managed to close the door with an extraordinary feat oI strength. I'm trying to decide if the grenade will destroy the map, or if it is an indestructible magic map. I already know that the door is going to blow wide open and the character that slammed it shut is going flying.

Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thank you,

Këet sniffs the air, trying to deduce where the smoke is coming from. He also says, "Should we try and retrace his steps?"

[Thanks. I'm not sure on the wording of these two. The first one is Cure Critical Wounds? Is the second Blade Barrier?]

"It's worth a shot, I suppose." Kéet says. "Let me see here." Keêt will examine the markings in blood.

[OOC: Sorry for the absence. Got sick then started new medicine that got me all weird. 
Did you guys say we had a bunch of cleric scrolls earlier?]

Damn good luck out there. Protect those AS&SH boxed sets if nothing else.

Keêt pops the door open and makes an "after you" gesture to the warlock.

Kéet, who was distracted just remembers his thiefly training gives him a tool for circumstances such as this.

He attempts to Discern Noise (4:12) . [1d12]=8

"Hmm, let's see what's making this noise down here first. By the way, this may sound strange but I the gods just contacted me and completely changed the way I do my magic. Instead of thaumaturgical I am more ecclesiastical. I know it sounds bizarre, but with everything going on is it really?"
