[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5972523, member: 52403"] [b]Zordlan and Sayrui fail a save ...[/b] They notice hints of flour on the furthest door of the passage; (Zordlan threw flour over the Keeper when he went inviz) quickly following through finding themselves in a small square room which has a collapsed wall opposite leading into a larger cavern with a water filled sinkhole dominating most of it. The room apart from this appears empty; spreading out they cautiously start making their way round the sinkhole.
