The center

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 39):

This room is slightly brighter, and has a similar inlay in the floor going from side to side

The adept again casts ....

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 41):

it detects as magical as well.


var looks at it a d shakes his head
"Oi ain't getting past that Mistress Berry. "

And the last door...

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 43):

as you open the last door, there is a strong draft from behind you...

withon the room  you see what was a circle of salt being blown aside ...

there is a deep throaty chuckle and a strong smell of sulphur, hot metal, and sour milk...

Amelia thinks, 'Incoming!' but says nothing, knowing everyone else here will be ahead of her.

 tries to shut the door again.

Amelia holds her probably irrelevant sword out on front of her as though it offers some level of protection.

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 47):

"Behind me, Amelia! Adept that door wonhold for long- which way then, back, into the darkness or accross the pentagram? Where did Shroud get to?"

She smiles, "Willingly, Hveron," and does as bid.

Around the Pentagram perhapssss

The Adept leads into the better lit room avoiding stepping on the pentagram. Sword ready, he looks around.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 50):

beyond the wall to wall pentagram, there is anothrr door...

something is rattling the door where the salt spilled.

The Adept steps across the pentagram to the other side.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 52):

norhing befalls the Adept.

Amelia remains just behind haveron but will advance as he does.

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 54):

as something slams against the left hand door, Var turns to Berry,
"Ima hafta bounce. See yas on da other side."

with that, he disappears in a cloud of noxious vapor.

Amelia glances round.

OOC: Does Amelia know Var? And, if so, what his skill set is?

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 56):

Var is Berry's servant and has traveled with you for about a month (3years of play) He is a rascal who has been pleasant but quiet company, and has disappeared in this fashion  before

That has to be a bad sign. Berry says as she casts around looking for danger.

In reply to Berry (msg # 58):

Var could not cross the pentagram in tangible form, and probably will travel through walls. Meanwhile something is at the door and starting to open it...


occ: Gareth decided to wait 10 minutes on the other side of the truth telling door, and y'all are about 30 seconds in

In reply to Narrator (msg # 59):

Haveron stands at the ready as something smashes through the door... a weighted length of chain!

ahead of you is a large inlaid pentacle, opposite the broken door is a door open to gloom

Berry readies a magic bolt and calls out. Hello, we are just uh... not thieves. She inches forward, hoping someone else will take the lead.

In reply to Berry (msg # 61):

the length of chain crashes through the door again,obliterating it.
the smell of sulpher,hot metal, sour milk and musk intensifies

The adept chants... and there is a small sputtering flicker.
