[QUOTE="Dantardis, post: 3145748, member: 46174"] When the party retried the door, it opened easily enough, revaling a room that was more than half full of water. The only part of the room which was dry was a plank which lay the length of the room. On the surface of the water floated the body of a strange tentacled creature, obviously dead. "Nice work", said Retaract, wlking across the plank. Although there was a grinding sound as if something had been set off nothing appeared to happen. Raymond reasoned that the release mechanism had filled with water too, meaning it couldn't release. The plank appeared to end at a solid stone door, which had no obvious way of opening it. While the rest of the party tried searching the area, T'cral appeared to go white ans then an unearthly voice seemed to issue from his lips, "Greetings! My name is Alastor Land and I am dead. I mean you and your companion no harm, but I need your help. I explored these ruins many years ago but alas I fell foul of one of the many traps and I died here. Now I am doomed to linger in this place until my bones are returned to the family resting place. If you agree to return my bones to the graveyard then I will open the door for you." "How do we know we can trust you", said Retaract hotly. "You could be a servant of evil in disguise." "Yes I could be", replied Alastor, his words echoing strangely from T'cral's lips, "but I swear by the honour of my family and by the god Glintaka that I give you my word, I will not harm you." "Very well", said Raymond, hoping this was the right thing to do. "Open the door and release my friend and I will return your bones for you." Alastor's ghost left T'cral's body and floated ephereally through the door. A few seconds later there was the click of a mechanism and the stone door slowly slid open, allowing the party to progress.
