Zarabeth continues to stare into the inky blackness of the tunnel to make sure nothing sneaks up on them.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
Neamaeli pulls on the rope with the help of Rook and the totemist, and they manage to pull Thomas out of the pit safely.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
Thomas looks at them, realization dawning on his face. "Ah, I suspected you couldn't hear me. I shouted to pull me up but then nothing happened so I tugged. There must be some magic silencing that whole and producing the incredible darkness. I couldn't even hardly see my lit mace in front of my face. I dropped another sunrod when I was at the bottom of the rope, and it sounded like it went another 40-90 feet down. Frankly I'm not sure what to do now since anybody dropping down will get hurt and won't be able to reach the rope to come back up. Any ideas?" Thomas takes on a frustrated look, trying hard to think of anything that could help save Clyde.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
Rook will take the hat from his head and hold it over his heart while staring solemnly down the pit for a moment. "Alas! The poor chap. He brought it on himself... just before we left Glenda's he told me his death would be 'not entirely unlikely.' Who knew Clyde would be prophetic?"
He will stand there a few seconds longer, before turning about and placing the hat back on his head. "Well, onward then."

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
Suddenly, the group hears the sound of stone sliding against stone behind them. The stone moves aside slowly, and the glint of steel can be seen.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
Out walks Clyde with his lantern out, despite the obviously lit torches behind him, with an entirely unfamiliar sword being held out in front of him. Clyde closes the secret door after he exits and he sheathes his new blade upon seeing the rest of the group. He walks over to the pit and looks down, then places his right hand over his heart.
We vow to avenge your death, Clyde, for this is no less directly the fault of those kidnappers of Glenda. Were it not for their meddling you would not have felt such urgency as to leap over the pit in haste and without first taking the proper precautions. You shall be sorely missed as a valued and beloved member of our team, even if your phobia of magic could be a bit of a nuisance at times. A tear is shed for our loss, nonetheless we must trudge onward.
He turns around and faces the hallway they have yet to explore after delivering the lengthiest, uninterrupted input he has ever given in a conversation during his stay in the group.
It is not hard to imagine that you had just finished delivering such a grand eulogy for me, judging by your silence. I appreciate your tears of sadness now turned to joy, useless though they may be due to my survival of the incident. Let us continue our journey; Glenda remains still in peril, possibly.Last edited by BoomerangFlash; 2009-08-04 at 11:05 PM.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
ZARABETH
Zarabeth stares, and shakes her head in total puzzlement
You appear to be Clyde, you speak as Clyde, yet you say Clyde is dead but then in next breath say you survived the incident. Forgive the confusion of a simple dancer like myself, but please enlighten me as to what is the truth of this matter. And how you manage to be here, when you fell down there.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
Thomas stares dumbfounded at Clyde as he finishes his speech. "Clyde! How did you survive the fall? How did you get back up here? I had them lower me down on a rope to attempt to get to you and we didn't have enough rope. Are you hurt? I'm sure I have some medicine somewhere..." He trails off and is clearly trying not to rush at Clyde and magically heal him of all his wounds.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
The rogue is standing there with his mouth hanging wide open, glancing back and forth from the pit to Clyde. With effort, his mouth closes and he breaks into his usual cavalier grin.
"Fantastic! What an extraordinary entrance Sir Clyde! Clearly you are not half as boring as you lead me to believe all this time. Care to tell us about your harrowing adventures while you were away? My curiosity at seeing you alive and with a new treasure might kill me otherwise!" Rook throws an arm around Clyde in happy camaraderie.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
Clearly you all missed everything that I have said.
Clyde turns and begins advancing down the hallway when he remembers there might be more pit traps. He freezes in mid-step and then turns back to the group. He does a broad, sweeping gesture with his hand as if to say, "After you."

Back to his usual grinning self, Rook puts on his crystal goggles and slowly proceeds down the hallway, determined not to botch up the next trap he finds.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
The rest of the trip through the tunnel up the cliff goes off without a hitch, no traps or hard climbing. The group emerges into the sunlight on an outcropping in front of the largest set of doors any of you has ever seen. The doors are made of a metal that strongly resembles the metal used in Clyde's new sword. The doors are inlaid with gold and silver scenes of a great Dwarven Citadel and the forge of Moradin himself.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
"Beautiful! Marvelous! Such fine craftsmanship!" Rook will go up to the doors and search them up and down, not stopping until he knows how they open, if they're locked, and what kinds of traps magical or otherwise protect them.
SpoilerTaking 20!!!! Search- 37
"Looks like a good spot for a break, why don't the rest of you relax and talk to Thomas about what he said back there about being in love with our employer," Rook will say playfully.
This will take awhile, so if anyone tries to enter before he's done, Rook will back hastily away from the doors getting as far away from them as he can.

Zarabeth remains on guard while Rook works on the doors. She stays near to Rook to protect him if something comes out of the doors, and also keeps an eye on the cave opening, if something had been following after them.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
Rook is amazed at the craftsmanship that has gone into this door, with each of the humongous drawings visible from the cave opening containing smaller, even more detailed drawings. He eventually finds a smaller door, hidden as a carving of a building in the door. It doesn't seem to have an opening mechanism, though there is an odd Anvil inlaid in the door that seems out of place from the rest of the door. There seems to be five inlaid objects that seems to be connected, and pressing them in the right order will open the passageway and not activate a trap.
SpoilerRook's knowledge of traps makes him believe that the entrance would be trapped. He is pretty sure he knows how to disable it, but he's not sure (needs to roll for it). Taking ten not high enough.Halfling Monk (Avatar by Miss Nobody)

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
"Ah... clever dwarves. This will likely be as devious as the previous pit trap. Perhaps you will all want to back away."
Rook will wave everyone back up until they are at least 20 feet away, and then will pull out his tools and get to work. After several seconds of fiddling, he works out the pattern. He will take a deep breath as he readies himself for his task, he will try not to wince as his hands get closer to the designs on the door, he will try to ignore the perspiration on his face despite the cold, and he will hope his luck is turning around...

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
Rook presses the anvil, hammer, flame, crown, then the King's beard and waits as he hears gears wurring and many, many seconds pass before the sound of old hinges moving is heard, and the "building" in the door opens and there is a dark room inside

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
Neamaeli peers in, to see a path way carved in the stone the exact width of the entry way, that extends beyond the edge of his vision. It seems like the large doors are in fact fake.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
The first room of the forge opens up from the hallway after about 250 ft. You emerge into a giant cavernous room, with a thin bridge allowing passage over the lava pits.

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
ZARABETH
Zarabeth eyes the bridge doubtfully
That thing just looks like a death trap waiting to be activated. The moment someone steps on it, down it goes.
Zarabeth considers the situation for a moment and then looks to see how far below the bridge the lava is, and then how long the bridge is.
We could tie a rope around each person as they go across. If the fall to the lava is farther than the walk of the bridge, that would work, we pull them up if it collapses. If the fall is shorter, the person could loop as much of the rope around themselves as it is to the lava, and that way we could at least pull them up from that point. Once they get beyond that point though....

Re: Lemian Treasure Hunters Guild
The bridge extends about 1-2 ft out of the lava and is roughly 7 and a half feet wide. It seems to be very sturdily built (not surprising considering it was built by dwarves). It seems to have been built this way as less of a trap and more for some other reason.
