The Eladrin wizard considered the door for a few seconds more, "...The door... If it is a handle, hard to open it without standing perilously over the pit, if a ring could hook it with a halberd and try to swing it open... and hope it isn't trapped... So many variables to consider... And that isn't to consider how to cross without a chance of falling in again. Bah!"

He took walk back to the other end of the hall taking a spot next to Quinn, "See anything? Another passage?"

Thibor Cruxholder

Thibor continues his slow and tedious advance. He feels no need to hurry. He wants to return to his wife and kids as soon as possible, but his family genealogy is something much more important. It affects him and his whole clan, the Hard Rock clan. He and his family won't need to bear this shame anymore if he succeed on this mission.

Thibor


"See anything? Another passage?" Jiardem asks Quinn as he inspects the area. "Perhaps..." Quinn replies, as he takes a step forward to have a closer look at the fog archway. No sooner does he do so than does the floor cave out from under him! Using his quick reflexes, Jiardem leaps back out of harms way, reaching out to grab Quinn's arm just in time to save him from a spiky fate below. As Quinn dangles above the spikes, his eyes lock on them and he notices something peculiar...

"Guys!" he calls out, "I think I've spotted a secret door hidden at the bottom of this pit!"

"Up first... Down later," Jiardem said focusing on getting Quinn back up, rather than a drawn out explanation. "Secure a climbing rope,"

Thibor Cruxholder

Wait for me, Quinn! I am coming to your rescue. Thibor says before resuming his tedious advance, always hitting the hammer at the floor, waiting a few seconds to listen for a hollow sound before moving. A minute later he reaches Quinn to help.

"Work with me Quinn," Jiardem says trying to find a little leverage to aid the bard's climb out.

Climb check

Despite Jiardem's bumbling arms that almost get in the way, Quinn does indeed manage to pull himself up and out of the pit. "Thanks, friend. I could have been impaled on those had it not been for you."

Graydon, seeing Quinn fall, rushes over, careful to only trod on the squares Thibor has walked over. He peers down at the secret door, circumnavigating the pit to take a closer look. He gathers up the slack that's been dragging behind Thibor, and seems like he's ready to use it.

Graydon


As Graydon runs around the pit to get a better look at the secret door Quinn spoke of, something strange happens. The two torch sconces that flank the Green Devil Face--previously unlit and unnoticeable--suddenly light themselves aflame giving you a better look at the thing. It is undoubtedly an evil-appearing devil face set in mosaic at the end of the hall. It's mouth hangs open quite wide in an O shape...wide enough in fact that a medium creature could probably fit inside. Anyone who looks at it gets the eerie feeling that it is looking back at them.

Green Devil Face

"Well...That's unsettling..." Quinn said, unable to take his eyes of the green devil.

Jiardem was about to speak when the devil face opened. His mouth was agape for a few seconds before saying, "Correlon Larethian's star..." He raised his right hand and began chanting softly hoping to catch just a hint of magic from it.

Thibor Cruxholder

"Another path. Now we have at least three paths to follow. This secret door inside the pit, the mouth of this statue, and the bend at this corridor. I feel that the door's image at the beginning can be a secret door too. Remember the illusory wall from before, we cannot trust our eyes here. Nothing like Acererak's diabolic humor to hide a door as a door. Humm... Let's see what it is at this bend of the corridor."

Thibor


Thibor carefully walks up to the fog archway. When he steps within a foot of the archway, three of the larger stones that make up the arch begin to glow bright colours. The bottom left stone glows brightly YELLOW, the top centre shows BLUE, and the bottom right is ORANGE.

Stone Archway

Jiardem shakes his head as his vision returns to normal, though his eyes still have dots in them as someone looking straight into a bright light or even the sun. "This devil face is brimming with energy. I've seen very few things that have close to this much energy weaved into it. I'd say it still has possibility to do... Well, something. I could go into the details, but I'd have so many possible scenarios I could throw out that it would be quite frightening. I say check the pit door first, but..."

Quinn walks up next to Thibor to inspect the misty archway more closely. "Fascinating. The coloured stones seemed to respond to you approaching it. I think it likes you, Thibor. I wonder..."

His curiosity winning the battle over his common sense, Quinn decides to have a peek as to what lies behind the misty wall. The would-be-Bard takes a bold step through the thick mist and fades from view.

As he lay in the pit, Henleber attempted to carry out his most important task of this day: Not going mad. He carefully double checked every item of equipment, scratched another mark on the wall to show how many days this had lasted, and prepared for his daily attempt to leave. By this time, he knew there was no way out, but accepting that would probably drive him mad and for the thousandth time he made a list of all the possible equipment that might have let him get out.

He looked up for a moment as he finished since he thought he heard a faint sound outside. He listened but if there was anything it was too faint and the last year of listening had often caused him to hallucinate such things. At this point, he slumped down in the corner and tugged at the cursed cloak. He was somewhat glad that it kept him alive but had a bad feeling that there would be a price to pay eventually.

Graydon looks at all the activity happening around him, then at the pit door at his feet. He shrugs, silently slipping down into the pit, and opens the door.

Thibor Cruxholder

NOOOOOO! Quinn! You half-fairy softhead. What have you done! Thibor cries with anguish when Quinn steps inside the portal. Then, after some seconds of despair and apprehension he cautiously approaches the portal to study it better and know what could have happened to Quinn.

"I certainly- What?!" Jiardem says as he gets distracted by the way Thibor decides to word his expression of panic. "No, no, no, definitely not! I will not bother to define why the fairy thing is wrong on so many levels. I will not ask him if he has had his dose of pixie dust today. I will not ask him if he has seen them frolicking without a care of their state of dress or lack of... I wonder if they truely do have a sense of modesty? ...Where was I? Oh yes Quinn. Can you hear us in here?"

He starts a simple chant trying to form a yellow hand in front of him.
