Covetous Corridor
Level 18Hazard (Complex)Abilities
Trigger A magic item or active spell effect enters the corridor --- Effect A randomly determined statue uses the hazard's Steal Magic action. The hazard then rolls initiative.
Roll a d10 to determine which statue activates, rerolling a result of 10 or any result that would indicate a disabled statue or a statue that is already charged. The indicated statue casts Detonate Magic with a +32 bonus to its counteract check. The spell targets the closest magic item within 120 feet, prioritizing the highest-ranking magic item and targeting spell effects only if no magic item is within range. On a success or critical success, the statue gathers the dispersed energy into its implement, charging it. While the statue's implement remains charged, any creature who is at least an expert in DC 44 arcana, DC 44 nature, DC 44 occultism, or DC 44 religion can use a 2-action activity with the concentrate trait to attempt a DC 44 check using that skill. On a success or critical success, they return the magic to its original source, causing it to reactivate. Removing an implement from its statue prevents the statue from using Transfer Magic but doesn't prevent a creature from restoring the charge to its source.
Requirements The implements of at least three runelord statues are charged --- Effect Three statues with charged implements transfer their charges to the Belimarius statue. While the Belimarius statue holds at least one charge, a creature can transfer charges from its implement as described in Steal Magic, except the DC of the skill check increases to DC 46; success returns the stolen magic to the appropriate items. DC 46 arcana, DC 46 nature, DC 46 occultism, or DC 46 religion
Requirements The hazard starts its turn, and the Belimarius statue holds at least one charge --- Effect The Belimarius statue transfers all charges from its implement into the force barrier separating the corridor from area B3 . For every charge the statue transfers, the force barrier gains 10 temporary Hit Points that last for 1 hour. (If the force barrier has been destroyed, the statue instead expends the first charge to cast a 6th-rank Wall of Force, with any remaining charges granting the barrier temporary Hit Points.) Charges transferred to the force barrier are lost forever and can't be returned to items they were stolen from.
