Are you a good glyph or A Bad Glyph?
S03E18
Retcon - Caulkin attunes to the Ring of Spell Storing when he realizes there are already spells in the ring. He gets no specific sense from the ring, but he knows it is a magical ring. He knows that there is a Revivify stored in the ring. As he is about to say this to the group, the Eye pushes him backwards into the water below.
During the fight, Pearl learns the creature cannot be grappled or restrained
With some quick maneuvering, we are able to pull Caulkin out of the water with rope as Calla uses Shape Water to clear out the water from underneath him. We briefly see the creatures as they jump out of the water, trying to grab Caulkin as he hangs onto the edge of the cliff. He manages off the cliff and we back away from the edge successfully.
We brush ourselves off. Pearl uses Thava who flies over the river to the cliff on the other side of the river. As she lands on the cliffside, she explodes and disappears in a poof. We come up with another plan to have her explore the other side of the river where the 2nd bridge was located. As Pearl is ritual casting this spell, the eye reappears and hits Calla with a blast. Glittr tries to hit the eye with his maul, but he only hits the rock wall instead.
Thava is resummoned and Pearl flies her to the other side of the cliff. She is able to see a path forward. We keep setting off various traps and glyphs as we venture forward. We come upon a glyph.
Further in we see a statue of Lliira which shoots radiant damage at us. We dispel the evocation magic surrounding the magic. We come up with a plan to get up on a ledge where there is a large statue. Calla uses dispel magic on it but we are unsure if anything happens. Nothing seemingly happens. She sends a message and receives no response. We decide to move forward towards the statue and the wooden poles we saw on the ledge. As we move forward the statue charges and hits Calla.
They appear to be metal constructs.
As we fight them, physical damage tends to be weak, they have a high AC, and Heat Metal had no effect on them.
