Secrets of Tiro

[Kilikina]

Serenae looks at Riyu, "Yeah, I can see it now but I honestly have no clue as to what it's for or what it does. Sorry. I'm a pretty good swimmer though. I can swim down to it and check it out but I hear a waterfall up ahead and I don't know what the current will be like or if it will be safe.

[namida02]

Elyssia finds a button on the wall in her search and carefully inspects it, but is unable to determine its purpose. She asks Arin.

Spoiler

Do you know what this button does, or why it's here?

[Trinak]

As Dinlo searches the wall, he accidently pushes the button. The cavern dissappears as the illusion fades away. Suddenly everything seems in chaos. The walls begin shifting and changing very quickly. Everyone needs to make a reflex save.

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 = 12

[Kilikina]

Serenae looks at Riyu and says, "Okay, so something isn't right around here now. The walls are shifting and I'm a little concerened. What did you do?"

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 = 10

[Rowen925]

"I have done nothing Serenae, I dont know what is happening." Riyu tries to look around the shifting walls to see the other groups and to try and determine what is happening, and if the other groups are okay.

Riyu thinks to Rilla "Can you link with the other items at this distance to see if the others are alright? Or what is happening?"

Reflex 1d20 + 9 = 13 + 9 = 22

[Sarin88]

Sarin glances around again, trying to find something, a clue, a mark- anything. "Geroshar can you make anything out?"

[Kulshedra]

"Sorry," Geroshnar told Sarin, "little busy trying to dodge walls right now...."

Reflex: 1d20+7= 17
Spot: 1d20+2= 16

[Sarin88]

Sarin- who has been reading too different segments nad connecting them- now looks around in an anxious way, hoping that they are nto about to die. She silently prays to Pelor to deliver them somehow. "What in the name of the heavenly sky is happening?" She screams to no one in particular.

Reflex save: 1d20=17+4= 21

[namida02]

Elyssia turns to Dinlo. "You idiot!"
She doesn't have enough time to get anything else out before a wall seems to jump out at her from nowhere.

Reflex: 1d20+11= 19

[Trinak]

You all manage to dodge the walls, but are now separated from each other. Your items can link to each other. You now need to put spoiler tags for things only your group can see/hear/etc.

Group A (Dinlo, Elyssia)

Spoiler

Show

The walls close around you. You are now in a hallway about 10 feet wide made of the same bricks seen earlier in the dungeon. The ceiling is about 15 feet high. A light can be seen coming from somewhere down the hallway.

Group C (Riyu, Serenae)

Spoiler

Show

The walls close and force you both to jump in the river. Its surprisingly warm. Make a jump check if you want to try to jump some of the distance across towards the object. Make a reflex save if you just want to try to grab some branches that are growing along the side you started from. Make a swim check regardless. Everything is lit as torches along the walls magically light.

"Oops." Dinlo looks around. "Well I guess we have to start down that way towards the light. Krin can you find out if the others are ok?"

"Well this is unfortunate." She looks around, sees nothing at all helpful, but counts it as a blessing that the walls are no longer trying to kill them. "To the light it is, then. Let us take more care in our actions, though. Staying safe is a lot more fun than getting smashed. No offense." She begins walking cautiously towards the light, conferring with Arin as she goes.

Do you sense anything I should be aware of?

Sarin looks aroudn at the walls then toward the light down the hall. She steps forward. I think we should move down the hall to the light. That alright with you Geroshar?

[Trinak]

Looks like I forgot to tell you all that you gained 500 XP for the trap. Enjoy.

Group A (Dinlo, Elyssia)

Spoiler

Show

As you move closer to the light you realize the corridor turns to the right and the new corridor is lit with torches along the wall. As you both peer around the corner you also notice a green slime-like substance on the floor about 30 feet into the corridor and extending about 10 feet.

Elyssia

Spoiler

Nope, just that this place is really really creepy.

Group B (Sarin, Geroshnar)

Spoiler

Show

Assuming you both are moving towards the light and being somewhat cautious you realize that the corridor you are in turns to the right and the light is this new corridor which is lit with torches. You also both happened to roll decent spot checks without realizing it (love the DM) and notice a green slime on the floors of the new corridor. The slime is about 40 feet into the new corridor and extends about 10 more feet.

Group C ((Riyu, Serenae)

Spoiler

Show

(Any checks you didn't make I made for you, love for the DM) You both manage to jump to the other side and grab some roots growing along the edge. If either of you wishes to grab the object though you will have to let go of the roots and dive a bit requiring another swim check. The current at this point of the river isn't that strong though. Whatever you decide to do though you'd better do it fast as you notice 3 sharks swimming towards you both.

Riyu

The other items and I are as confused as you are. Everyone else seems to be ok though and is progressing through their challenges as you are.

Group A

I disagree, staying safe is boring. Danger is so much more entertaining. However, as I do not wish to die today, being more careful sounds like a good idea for now. Dinlo follows next to Elyssia as they move towards the light.

Serenae decides to ignore the object at the bottom for now as she sees the sharks coming closer. "I'll dive down and see what the object is after we kill the sharks. What do you think Riyu?" She lets go of the branch and draws her weapon and gets ready to fight.

(So uh. . . I've kinda been floating halfway between water and vines with three sharks coming at me, and I dont know how to swim. . . any chance I can find out if I just made a really really bad choice or not soon? (directed at the non-posters mainly)

[Trinak]

Due to recent events, the DM has decided to give Elyssia 5 points less damage because she did post fairly quickly. Gero though still has his 10 points and needs to post soon to not get 10 more.
