Reciprocal Tax Evasion

[TheOasysMaster]

The magic takes ahold of Eduardo, ushering him to another location in the Tomb... Unfortunately, for him, others have been through before him, and filled the normal arrival spot with solid mass...
Luckily for Eduardo...
It's a powerful spell, and the magic seeks out a safe place to deposit him...
Shudu, Maki and Pharrisia watch as Eduardo steps through and vanishes...
Smiling, Pharrisia grabs ahold of Maki and drags him forward, "Come on, barbarian! If I'm gonna be his apprentice; I better follow! Let's go!"
Maki and Pharrisia feel the pain of the teleporation, following Eduardo along the invisible corridors of magic...
Finally, after what seems forever...
They're dumped upon the floor of the dungeon!
Though they are wracked with the pain of the mishap, they can be glad to be alive...

Eduardo and Maki take 2d10 HPs of damage from Teleportation Mishap.
They feel a little nauseated and woozy.
(2d10+3)[20] for Maki
(2d10+3)[15] for Eduardo

It doesn't help that it appears that they've landed upon a pile of...
Mosquitos?
The floor of this long, wide hall is inlaid with tiles, and the walls and ceiling are painted with figures of animals and strange signs and glyphs. Humans and humanlike creatures hold painted spheres, each a different color from the next.

The Murals:
West wall, from north to south:
GOLD sphere held above head by a naga.Black sand appears to have poured through the sphere in an IMPOSSIBLE manner...
ORANGE sphere held waist high by a mummy.
PURPLE sphere held at feet by a minotaur.
BRONZE sphere held waist high by a nymph.
GRAYsphere held at shoulder by an owlbear.
BRIGHT BLUE sphere held at feet by a sahuagin.
WHITE sphere held above head by a red slaad.
TURQUOISE sphere held at shoulder by a satyr.
SCARLET sphere held waist high by a mind flayer.
PALE GREEN sphere held at feet by a medusa.

East wall, from north to south:
PALE BLUE sphere held at shoulder by a werewolf.
SILVER sphere held at feet by a four-armed gargoyle.
GREEN sphere held high above head by a half-orc.
YELLOW sphere held at shoulder by a falconheaded creature. Just a sphere.
PINK sphere held high above head by a yuan-ti.
BLACK sphere held at feet by a hydra.
PALE VIOLETTsphere held at shoulder by a kuo-toa.
RED sphere held waist high by a skeleton.
Ochre sphere held at feet by a white- bearded human wizard.
INDIGO sphere held high above head by a batwinged woman

A mist-filled stone archway lies at the end of the wide hall of colored spheres. Embedded in the arch. Each has a different hue—olive on the lower left, russet at the top of the arch, and citron on the lower right.

Furthermore, along the west walls, are the ruins of two shattered doors...

More importantly...
The room isn't empty!
There are four uncovered urns like on the floor, and where the three adventurer's have landed, there are four or so swarms of frozen blood mosquitoes...
There are littered items and equipment, amongst the bodies of a dwarf woman-a spellcaster, two human men, and an elf...
Three figures stand around the body, and a pile of items...
One is an halfling spellcaster, the other is a human bard and the other is a dwarf cleric...
The bard and cleric look wearied and battered.

From now on, Eduardo and Maki may post inside the main thread...
I'm uploading a new map...
Main Thread

Shudu stands before the empty arch still...

[Samfool]

Contemplating his options, he figures the devil's mouth is more trouble than he could bargin for, so is being left behind while his allies are going through this magic door..
He walks forward, into the hallway, hoping he makes it through ok..

[TheOasysMaster]

Okay, post in the main thread now...

As Shudu steps through the arch, and vanishes, the mist within the arch reforms...
In the entrance of the Tomb of Horrors, the muffled moans of the dwarf zombie are further drowned out by the clash of thunder and lightning and falling rain.
