Being silent and listening, you can confirm what Earmy has said. There definitely seems to be some activity in that room.

Earmy looks about for a door.

OOC:

is the only passage out the one where the wizard came from?

Thanee · Aug 18, 2011

Earmy easily sees that there are two seperate rooms, the study/bedroom in the north-east, where the wizard came from, and which has two doors; and the room with the strange noises in the south-east, which has one door and the strange pipeline coming out of its wall.

On the other side of the level, there is the room with the stairway, which they used to get here, and the small guard room, where the oversized lizardman emerged from.

Other than that, and a lot of pipes, vents and wheels, as well as the obvious pipeline, through which the black stuff is pumped through the top of the pyramid, there is nothing around.

Pointing to the south wall Earmy says,"We need to get in there quicky!" he heads into the wizards room and examines the door to the room for traps.

Eliath follows after reloading his hand crossbow. The elf wonders if the group should follow the pipeline to it's source, and voices this quietly.

"Are you going to follow the pipe Earmy? I believe we should find a way to seal it or stop the flow of that black gunk." he says in near a whisper when he falls in line.

Thanee · Aug 19, 2011

Whatever the source of the black stuff is, that gets pumped through the pipeline, it is very likely inside the room, Earmy is pointing to.

Examining the door leads him to the conclusion, that it is not trapped at all.

"Eliath, we need to shut this pipe down at it source. There is too much to just seal it off. This poison needs to be stopped."

"Agreed, Earmy! Let us enter yon portal and see if the source will be revealed to us now, or if we must continue our search."

"Onward," adds Eldwyn with a nod and a sweep of his arm encouraging the others forward.

Opening the door reveals a thirty by thirty foot chamber, a similar size to Yarash's study. Three lizardmen are working in the room. Two are dumping the content of heavy barrels into a large vat, that occupies the center of the room. The black contaminant leaves no doubt what this foul stuff is. The third is working a bellows punp, which forces the fluid into the pipeline, that goes through the wall and then towards the top of the pyramid, where it spills into the river. All three are shackled and fastened by long chains to the wall. They have cuts, most likely from a lash, across their backs. As the door opens, they recoil instinctively, in fear of what might come.
