Re: Chapter Zero: Mysterious Dungeon
Gale nods at Timothius' comment.
"Yeah," she says, "Probably. Shame no one can agree on what the elements are, and what beats what. Though if I were to guess, this is ye olde 3 element wheel. Fire beats Nature, Nature drinks water, water douses fire. Let's hope that after we defeat the water room we don't wind up back in the fire room."
She watches the tree open up and takes a careful look at the portal.
"Doesn't look very stable. Can't tell what's on the other side. Let's do that beetle test like last time."
Once everyone's all rested, she ties a rope to a beetle's leg, tosses it in, then pulls on the rope to reel it back in. The portal flickers some, but the beetle corpse seems undamaged.
"It's not wet. That's a good sign."
She hands the beetle end of the rope to Timothius and steps through the portal, still holding the other end. The rope remains taught, but as soon as she steps through, the portal begins to flicker and dim. Looks like it's running out of energy and may vanish soon.
