The Gauntlet of Challenge-Cry, Part 3 (Neth (X) 1st, 4712 AR)

The Chamber of Ascension. The columns in this chamber imbued with fire (see below) create shadowy illumination. This chamber, four hundred feet high and eighty feet across, is another immense vertical shaft carved into the heart of the mountain. Twelve evenly-spaced iron columns five feet in diameter stand along the chamber’s perimeter, rising to support a ring-shaped platform near the ceiling. The ceiling itself is some form of shimmering screen. The columns stand in matching sets of three. Three columns glow orange with heat, three glisten with green perspiration, three are frosted with ice crystals, and three crackle with electricity, all very similar to the portcullis-gate in the last chamber.

Constructs:  A construct is an animated object or artificially created creature. They have low-light vision. They have darkvision. They have immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms). They have immunity to bleed, disease, death effects, necromancy effects, paralysis, poison, sleep effects, and stunning. They cannot heal damage on their own, but often can be repaired via exposure to a certain kind of effect or through the use of the Craft Construct feat. Constructs can also be healed through spells such as make whole . A construct may have the fast healing special quality. They are not subject to ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, energy drain, or nonlethal damage. They have immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects, or is harmless). A construct cannot be raised or resurrected. Constructs do not breathe, eat, or sleep.
