Hang on. Do you mean they are immune to it? Because it goes off even if they don't look.

Hang on. Do you mean they are immune to it? Because it goes off even if they don't look.

Krayger deflects the blow with the haft of his weapon and takes a swing at the monster's head.
[ToTLI]
"Well, that didn't work. Looks like force is required here. Do your thing, my friend!"
He maintains a safe position on Krayger's shoulders, peeking out around his head. He also shrinks to about two feet tall, all the better to stay out of danger.
Tomb of the Lost Innocent
The first mummified corpse has an axe embedded in its head and stumbles back. The other mummy in melee range swings at the back of Krayger's head, hoping the minotaur doesn't see the blow coming.
Also, just because fire didn't work doesn't mean other magic won't work.
[ToTLI]
"Yikes!"
Guile leaps into the way of the morningstar. It slams into him and causes the middle of his body to stretch about a meter backwards, then ping back into place (launching the morningstar back the way it came at some velocity). There are several perforations from the spikes.
"Ow! Stupid undead thing!"
Scowling, he casts a spell that will cause the materialization of a large quantity of incredibly sticky goo, which he throws at the mummy, hopefully completely entangling it.
TotLI
It's kind of hard to be sneaky when you're a creaky, shambling corpse. And also when the person you're fighting has an animal head and therefore much better hearing than sight. So the sneaky skeleton gets a back-kick to the torso. It's not a very strong kick, but it's only meant to delay it so he can rip his axe out of the first one and sweep across with it.
Tomb of the Lost Innocent
The mummy is kicked in the torso and stumbles back, only to get all gummed up by the spell, and then slashed open by Krayger's axe. The one the axe was in originally stumbles back up, whilst the one that is watching continues to watch.
[ToTLI]
"Yowch. Let's see, now..."
He casts a force spell roughly equivalent to a Magic Missile at the watching skeleton, hoping to either kill it or get it to come within range of Krayger.
TotLI
Krayger lunges forward with a vertical cleave hoping to take the mummy thing before it can get up.
Tomb of the Lost Innocent
The mummified undead corpse hit by the magic missile dissolves, as does its weapon and shield. Krayger kills the one he was aiming for, and it, too, dissolves. The one that was gummed up also dissolves.
Where they stood, there's now three puddles of glowing green goo, one of which might still be covered in Guile's webbing.
Felandria sets the robokittychild down and waits.
She chuckles at the thought of what people would think back in the normal sized world, this thing would be like seven, eight stories tall.
Hopefully now that she's proven herself she can find some answers.
Well, technically my party and I own the whole town.
The former mayor was terribly corrupt, and the king was grateful to us for exposing him so he said we were in charge of the town now.
I mean, we don't OWN the entire town, but, we have the run of the place.
Mostly Vladimir is in charge now, he runs a tight ship.
But anything you need from this shop is covered, he can write it off as security expenses.
[ToTLI]
"Well, that was interesting. I seem to have acquired ventilation. I believe it is your turn to select a lever, my friend who, now I come to think of it, I have not asked for his name."
TotLI
"It's Krayger. And I'll choose this one."
Krayger chooses the circle lever next.
Outside (Base of the Hill)
Slowly Ray's silhouette appears over the horizon. Although his water trail allows him to travel at superhuman speeds it is by no means instantaneous and it takes a while for him to travel long distances. Seeing Leo and the ghost he skids to a stop, leaving a trail of dust in his wake. "Hey sorry I'm late!" he says taking a moment to catch his breathe "What did I miss? You find any info Leo?"
[Base of the Mountain]
"You're here, good. I'm warning you now, it will be dangerous. If you want to back out... I understand. Everyone else did."
Tomb of the Lost Innocent
Nothing happens when the three circle-marked lever is pulled.
Oh no, wait, the moon marked with three circles, the on to the far right, has gone out. The sky is still lit by the moon marked with an ankh and the one marked with a hand print.
[ToTLI]
"I think we did something right! Let's try the other one!"
He pulls the handprint lever.
TotLI
Krayger nods and keeps vigilant for its effect.
Tomb of the Lost Innocent
Something does happen with the next lever. The three-circle-moon reappears in the sky in its previous place and the sarcophagi open. Two skeletons wearing banded mail armour shamble out of each sarcophagus, for a total of six. Three hang back and nock arrows to their longbows and pull back to aim. The other three advance, each holding a two-handed sword.
[ToTLI]
"Well, I never got on with Luck."
He leaps back onto Krayger's shoulders and fires a magic missile at each of the archer skeletons.
[OUTSIDE, A FEW MILES FROM INSIDE]
((We're not necessarily at the base of the hill yet. Also, since Ray rode in by sliding on water, wouldn't it be more a trail of mist or spritz than of dust? Picky, I know, but it does help to be consistent.))
"Not too much," Leo answers. "I only just got here a couple minutes ago myself. No one before us seems to have survived to tell what's actually waiting for us on the way, but I did learn about the story behind our friend here...and the sorcerer that chained her spirit to this place." He returns his attention to the specter, his expression softening a bit. "I apologize for not trusting you...I wanted to know for sure what I was getting us into, but I had to hear it from an impartial source. Please understand, it's still only been a day since I was chucked in here, and even though my health has improved, I'm still not at my best; maintaining suspicion was necessary for my protection. Now, though, it's clear that you were telling the truth...and I'm sorry for doubting you."
TotLI
Krayger goes in swinging, taking advantage of the fact that his two-handed weapon puts him at an advantage in reach over the skeletons. Trying not to get flanked by the group is high priority.
"Right. Lots of stranger things here than even in the Nexus proper. Good to remember."
Helicopters and airships both count, but giant fruits do not, they've decided.
"And if they need to breathe, so much the worse for them." Ranna inspects the cloud-city, wondering why it isn't spherical. "Would those things be a problem if they were there?"
[Ashes of the Hive]
Looking back at the smoking ruin that once was her home, all she had and needed, a young Kahzess rubs at her eyes, trying to be strong for the older Vohtess next to her---the woman who is her hive now, all she has left. Her off-white skin and faded-purple armor are marred with soot, her golden eyes dark-rimmed from tears.
Where do we go now? What do we do? I'm so out of my depth...
L-Let's... let's go find... somewhere to spend the night.
OOC: Yeah sorry your right, I guess I just didn't think it through when I wrote the last post.
"Heh danger comes with the territory. I'm in" Ray tells the ghost nodding. If the threat of impending doom made him nervous he showed no sign of it. A bit of the water in the trail Ray had made behind him floats up and under Ray's sleeves. His supply of water for magic is limited, so he must recycle as much of the water he uses as he can. "I must wonder though, what exactly is the danger?" he asks "much as I love rushing off into the unknown, this'll go a lot smoother if we can form a plan."
[Warzone]
The man come soon. They look at wthe child confused, but don't say a word. They will put the child into the back of the car and drive Felandria back to the twon. This time they don't stop in front of the town hall. They will go to the back door so none will see the things she brought with her.
The man who gave her the job waits for her in a side room.
"How did it go?" he asks and then spots the child "And what did you bring me?"
Tomb of the Lost Innocent
The closest skeleton will attempt to block Krayger's axe with its two-handed sword, only for the blade to shatter and the axe to carry on into its ribcage regardless. The sword, armour and bones slow the axe down enough that when the second skeleton tries the same trick, it works. The third greatsword-wielding skeleton swings its oversized blade towards the minotaur's head.
The skeletons all glow blue when the magic missile-type spell hits; it fails to have any other effect. All three loose an arrow at Guile. They aren't as good as British longbowmen; they were capable of loosing a third volley as the first struck home.
Clouded Void- Chariot
"Everything alive in this layer of the Abyss has to fly, or otherwise be able to survive with no ground. Poisonous gas is an aspect of Air, and therefore falls under Pazuzu's purview. But things have been leaking through the Nexus into the Abyss, things like us and Pokemon." If it's something that I am familiar with, and fits one of the Demon Lords, it will leak through and find itself in service to that particular Abyssal Master. But that's mostly obvious only with Pazuzu and Dalachrech.
"Well, they'd make it harder for us to blow the chlorine away from our town. Especially the elementals; they can produce winds of their own, and enjoy killing things. But soon we're going to be really important to Pazuzu's industrialisation efforts, so He should deflect the worst of it away." Because of the factory He's hired Atorre to build.
[ToTLI]
"Really?! Okay then."
The arrows go through him, adding three more perforations.
"Ow! Okay, now I'm really not happy!"
His hands shapeshift into blades and he makes an incredible leap from Krayger's shoulders all the way across the room and down at where the archer skeletons are. He'll try and use his falling momentum to split one of them in half, then go for each other one with one of his blades if that works. He can fight independently with each hand.
[A Few Miles From Inside]
"Even I don't know. It has been many years since I was last there."
