"You want to go next, Sir Percival? Meikka and I shall follow behind Lourdaud, here..."
Sederic's sword seemed to humm louder, as if calling for blood.

"You know anything about this passage, and where it leads,Lourdaud?"

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 256):

"Truthfully I did not think there was anything behind those tapestries except for damp walls.  I have never seen this before."

In reply to Lourdaud (msg # 257):
The knight follows his partner into the confined space.

"Come on, Follow them. I'll be right behind you."
Sederic steps aside to let Lourdaud pass.

In reply to Lourdaud (msg # 257):
Grimaldi nodded, and moved preparing to come in behind the rest of the group.

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 260):

The knights forge ahead in the confined space, and are followed by Lourdad. The two of you enter as well. Several yards in, the narrow corriderturns toward the left, out of sight from the door behind.

Grimaldi brings up the rear, wondering where the passage might lead.

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 262):

A moment after you make the turn, the door behind you slams shut.

"Everyone,Run! The Door has closed upon us, nowhere left, but forward!"

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 264):

"Wait, ho! This passage ends ahead with no exit!"

"Alright...Nobody panic...Yet. I can get us out of here..."
Grimaldi begins looking around for a breach, or crack in the stonework.
"Find us a crack or breach somewhere.."

"Good thing none of us, are claustrophobic..."
Sederic laughed, a bit nervously.

"If there's at least some air coming in here, I can get out of here, and let the rest of you out...There may be some other secret door to find. I have a spell for that as well..So, nobody panic."
Grimaldi smiled assuredly, in the lit tomb-like space.
He held up his hand, feeling for a draft...

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 268):

You can find no cracks in the masonry, but you do hear faint chanting behind you.

20:12, Today: Grimaldi rolled 9 using 3d6.  thaumatology ~ 15.
Grimaldi tries to figure out, what the spell is...

20:28, Today: Sederic rolled 8 using 3d6.  thaumatology  15.
"I Think we're in big trouble..."

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 270):

The spell is magelock. Its base duration is an hour.

"Magelock...He's locked the passage behind us... so, we have to figure out how it opens...and have about an hour until the spell wears off... in the meantime, let's see what is hidden..."
"Secreta Revelare.."
20:44, Today: Grimaldi rolled 13 using 3d6.  see secrets ~ 14.
Grimaldi gestured to his eyes, and again towards the room, speaking an incantation.

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 273):

Where in particular are you looking?

Starting behind us, then, I'm going to pan the passageway.

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 275):

Behind you, you find the stone door and its locking mechanism, which is a lever with stone facing. Unfortunately, the device is magically locked.

"Well, we'll be in here for an hour at least, may as well get comfortable... Let's regain some energy." Grimaldi sits quietly, regaining power expended from previous spells.

Sederic sighs.
"I don't think he'll stick around here...it's too hot for him, and all his men are dead. He's probably making a hasty rush to grab what he can, and hide out... Damn it! We were so close!"

Grimaldi is quiet for a long moment, and then speaks.
"You know, I bet he hid under his bed, after he left this open for us? We should've split up and searched the room first, then, we'd probably have had him, without a struggle.
