Chapter 002 - Pyramid Tier 3

<The very top room was tier 1, and I never updated the name of the thread.>

Once the door to the stairs is opened again, the group sees that they wind down in a counter-clockwise direction.  At the bottom there is a closed door, much like the others you have encountered so far, and lacking any obvious locking mechanism.

After bravely leading the party down Albricht studies the door. He calls back through the group. "A door no doubt. Vsaati this is for you. I have some ideas, but thought you would like to test your skills first."

Vsaati eyes the dwarf just a bit side eyed. "You want me to knock? If you've got ideas I'd appreciate being informed before I stick my finger on a needle or burn my hand on acid.  If you're wanting to be clever, by all means, go ahead."

Elboc readied his bow to full draw and waits for the enemy to show himself , if any.

Chapter 002 - Pyramid Tier 3

Albricht opens the door to reveal a passage much like the others above, which continues directly away from the door (south) for about 30 feet, then turns to the left (east).  In the vague distance, in no particularly discernible direction, he faintly hears the sound of stone scraping on stone, which continues for several seconds, then stops.  The air here is still exceedingly dry.

"Sounds like a plan to me.  If only I had my mead making supplies we could truly have the nectar of the gods.", Sherborne says with a wink.

Silverglade draws his sword and walks down the corridor. "Let's see what's down here," he says.

Silverglade comes to the corner and looks around it.  He sees that the passage after the turn runs ahead (east) for about 50 feet, then turns to the left (north).  He can now hear the intermittent stone-on-stone grinding that Albricht had heard earlier, and then it stops after just a couple of seconds.

<It's hard to say, but it isn't loud.  It sounds like it is quite deep, but has stopped just after you pause to give it any thought.>

Plathstream heads down to the next turn and pokes his head around the corner.

If you are being drawn towards something, there must be rocks down there for you to look at.

Re: Chapter 002 - Pyramid Tier 3

Past the corner to the left (north), Plathstream sees a door 60 feet down the corridor.  It is at the end of the corridor, with no other doors in sight.  Halfway to the corner, however, Plathstream notes the outline of a secret door in the left (north) wall, between the two corners.

"A door at last. The perfect ending for any pyramid corridor." He leans on his Warhammer and appears to listen. "Well that sound seems to have stopped."

In short order, Silverglade finds a section of the wall that presses in slightly, causing the secret door to begin to move.

Re: Chapter 002 - Pyramid Tier 3

Albricht is once again caught by surprise and double-takes.
"What is it with you elves and doors where they are not supposed to be? A personality thing? Course I did spot that one but thought it best left til last. There's a perfectly good door down there." He points to the end of the corridor.

  Of course you left it, you were testing the ability of the Elves to find the hidden mechanisms , were you not? I mean, you are obviously wanting to make sure we know what we are doing in that regard, correct?
