[QUOTE="RichGreen, post: 3355252, member: 2039"] [b]Session #20 Sliding Doors[/b] Tuesday 4th July Bloody Mary, Rodrigo and William climb back down the shaft and return to the hallway where there is one door they haven’t yet opened as well as a secret door in the south wall, found by Rodrigo. The stone door has three levers which the pirates experiment with, pulling them down using ropes and pushing them back up again with belaying pins. Eventually one combination causes the door and the section of floor in front of it to revolve round, bringing three animated skeletons into the hallway. Once these have been defeated, the party experiment with the levers again, setting off the poison dart trap in the process: Mary is shot. With the door open, William enters the chamber beyond: a narrow hall with a plank spanning a shallow pit filled with acid. The nimble ranger crosses the beam safely and reaches the end of the room where there is a chest sitting on a pedestal and a serrated dagger hanging on the wall. When William grabs the chest, the walls to either side of the acid bath drop down, revealing four skeletons armed with pistols and cutlasses who open fire on the pirates. Rodrigo pulls the lever to spin round and escape the skeleton attacking him and get back into the hallway, but, to his consternation, the skeleton pulls it to, bringing him back round again and into the room. More antics with the revolving door ensue, but William is able to use his belaying pin to great effect and the skeletons are defeated. The chest that triggered the trap turns out to be empty but the dagger fits perfectly in one of the two slots in the secret door and turns. Realising another dagger is required, the pirates search the adjoining rooms but don’t find one. The only option seems to be crossing the shaft again and heading down one of the sloping passages to the west. With his keen eyesight, William manages to prevent the pirates stumbling into a fine web strung across the passage. In the chamber beyond is a giant spider the size of a horse.
