The axe that Mia throw grinds across the ruff floor, hitting the symbol closest to the door hard, then sliding to the next symbol directly north. As soon as it touches this symbol, the surrounding it shatters into multiple lightening bolts, striking the axe from all directions. The lightening arcs off the steel and melts it slightly while setting the wooden handle of the axe on fire and it smolders as it stays put on the symbol, partially fused to the floor.

The axe hits D7 (on the room map) and skids across to D6, where a multitude of lightening bolts hits the axe and renders it unusable.

As Mia and the Scholar leisurely chat, Caden sneaks up ahead, following the blue line. Stick stays behind to chat with the Barbarian while the halfling peer around the corner.
Looking into the new room, he notices an oblong-shaped room that extends back about 30 feet. Immediately to the right and left you see a pillar on either side of the entrance way, and two more pillars about 15 feet directly behind the first two, forming a perfect square. Inside of this square of pillars are arcane symbols forming a circle in the middle of the room with distinct patterns and old looking markings. To the right of the pillars is a large double-door, while to the left of the pillars is a small wooden door. Even without magical training, Caden can feel the magic very distinctly in this room, almost as if the air is heavy with it.

Revealed Map
New and exciting things happening here, including the revelation of a new room! I will work on trying to find out what happens to yzard's character, and I will recruit someone else to fill the spot. Until that happens, however, we will continue with just four players (even if we get into a combat situation, I'll keep it fun, not to worry), since hopefully we have a pretty stable gang of four. You all know the rules, keep posting!
