"The lad seems sure of his abilities. Go ahead and open it."

Uthecar nods agreement and unless anyone else objects he will attempt to open it.

Bruno, crossbow at the ready, nods in affirmation without speaking up.

Zan made ready his bow and arrows, awaiting the opening of the door

Weasel opens the door and nothing terrible seems to happen - he indicates as much to the rest of the party.

At the farthest corner from the door is a sparkling outcropping of crystalline rock that shines with brilliance as it reflects the light from Bruno's lantern. The affect is dazzling (everyone in the party is temporarily blinded by its strength for a half segment (3 seconds) while their eyes get used to the affect.

Actions?

Is the room otherwise bare?  Uthecar will move into the room, axe and new shield at the ready.  Does he know anything more of the crystalline rock from any dwarven mining tales?

The only thing Uthecar notes is the crystalline rock seems unformed. It is unlike the crystals you've seen mined by your folk when you were a wee lad.

"I've never seen anything like that, nor heard tales of anything like it which makes me suspicious.  For all we know it could be a creature from the Earth Plane.  It is causing us no harm, let's depart and leave it be."

Zan will look around a see if there are any fragments, "Refractive crystals"

if so he will gather up several of them.

Bruno feels a profound awe at the site of the crystal mass.

Turning to Uthecar, "Hold up there, cousin. I for one would like to know more about this thing. If it is natural it is worth documenting."

Seeing that Zan's instincts follows his own he moves to enter the room.

OOC: Is this a 'room' or a cavern?

"Be careful" Uthecar warns.  "I'm no expert but I know of no Dwarven law that mentions such crystal majesty.  Possibly it is a trap."

Uthecar will stay by the door, shield up half covering his face from the glare in case it flares up unexpectedly.

Kullonar likewise awaits by the door; the last couple of rooms have proven bothersome to say the least.

The room is 20'x30'

Suddenly the door closes shut behind Kullonar without warning.

Nothing else happens...

Is the door able to be opened again?

Yes.

Kullonar jumps at the door closing and tries to open it again...

Myrrick holds his halberd in one hand, ready to use if needed, looking at the door he shrugs, "Surprises everywhere."

”Mysterious underground drafts are more common than people think.  So are surprises.”

Kullonar's able to pull the door open easily. When he does, something doesn't seem quite right, though he can't quite put a finger on it.

"Uthecar...come here. Something ain't right."
Kullonar peers out into the hall, his eyes trying to adjust to the darkness...

Axe at the ready Uthecar moves to the door to take a look.

Bruno moves forward as well with his lantern, weapons ready.

Zan glances back at the door closing but after a brief pause, he continues on examining the crystal structure and any possible fragments.

Kullonar and the two dwarves look down the corridor. Some 20' or 30' away it comes to an end.

"Zan, when you've finished, we have another corridor to explore."
