Re: The Invasion of Toril
The room shakes as Gale continues yelling at the wall. Gale screams at the wall next to the door, carving out a chunk of the wall, which is several feet deep, however there just seems to be dirt and rocks beyond the stone walls.
Spoiler
There aren't any hinges to the door on this side.

Re: The Invasion of Toril
Gale teleports away, leaving behind an image, then her head hurts a little. Looking around she finds herself in a dusty cellar, filled with barrels and crates, in front of her is a ladder, leading up to a trapdoor. Upon turning around, she sees Garrin, an image of herself, and realizes that she is in the same room.
Spoiler
Gale takes 3 damage.

Re: The Invasion of Toril
"All right, let's see if I can learn some more about the door, if teleporting past it fails, and it is not hinged, it is likely quite interesting."
Gale casts detect magic, and studies the door.
Spoiler
Is there a keyhole in the door?

Garrin watches Gale with amusement in his eyes.
He tries his way of opening the door...

Re: The Invasion of Toril
Studying the door, Gale sees that it is giving off a large transmutation aura.
Garrin knocks on the door, then steps back.
The keyhole on the door begins to move, expanding and shrinking a deep sound comes out of it, which sounds like mumbling to Garrin.
@Gale
Spoiler
In abyssal, you hear, "What do you want?" coming from the keyhole.

"Me? Nobody, has ever asked me that before, I don't really have a name. As for opening me, not going to happen, especially after rudely yelling at me."

Re: The Invasion of Toril
Zaavariel can har Gales shouting match, he gets up slowly from his kneeling stance, dragging the obsidion blade of his might sword before picking it up, his bones still weary.
"Few doors can resist or stop me." Zaavariel offers.
Zaavariel will approach the door and if asked will puts his full weight behind his blade as he attempts to carve through the door.

Re: The Invasion of Toril
"Well, the door seems to be sentient, so we should probably try reason, before attempting to break it down. Besides, the other side is solid rock, so we need to open the door, and I suspect breaking it will prove to be remarkably difficult."

Re: The Invasion of Toril
"So we should try to reason before trying to break it?" Asks Garrin, looking at the holes in the wall and other signs of Gale's actions.
"Good to know. Maybe ask where does it lead? Better to know before we try opening it or passing through..."

"Well, I was not expecting reason to be an option. And as far as knowing where it goes before we open it, what is the fun in that?"Last edited by Archmage1; 2012-10-10 at 10:30 AM.

"Phew, for a second there I thought that he was using a different weapon, nearly scared me to death. Seems like he just wanted to knock with his sword."

Re: The Invasion of Toril
in Abyssal once again.
Spoiler
"So, is there anything that I can do to change your mind about opening?"
"Zaavarial, perhaps you should rest for now. It seems that the door is fairly resistant to damage. However, it does mention a different weapon, perhaps one that can open it. Garrin, you must have had a very boring teacher. The fun is in the risk, not the avoidence."Last edited by Archmage1; 2012-10-10 at 10:35 AM.

"I'm not supposed to talk about that. So where are you from? And what is your name?"
SpoilerStudying the door, you spot that it isn't actually made of iron, but rather some material that is much harder than iron. Also, you don't recognize the material.
Other than what she has observed so far, Gale doesn't know anything else about the door.
