[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6237829, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN 02 THE MAZE SEGMENT 027 “GEO-MORPH K 01” 12/28/13 EYRE 19, 999 RAF slowly walks past the open doorway. As he nears the half way mark, he spots a lever in the floor. It stands about three feet tall. Even as Cy begins to suggest leaving it alone, RAF grabs it and cranks it. A loud grinding sound of stone on stone with gears can be as much felt as heard above them. It is only now RAF notices the lever is covered with blood. They continue down the hallway. Rose tries to tell the others that some of them have gone back down another exit but they ignore the elf. RAF stops at a 4-way intersection. On the floor is a discarded glove. The finger tips and sections of palm are bloodied and eaten by acid. Casting the torch’s light down each hallway he sees something of interest. Dozens of strands of rope crisscross the hallway from wall to wall or floor to wall. Looking closer, the ropes appear to have been phased into the stone. There are no holes. RAF merely cuts through them. They come onto an orange glowing wall of light. Next to it is a round 1 inch hole with an orange circle surrounding it. RAF ignores it and begins to leave. Cy spots movement on the other side. A large floating brain with spiked tentacles hovers there. Watching….waiting….. “Do you see that?” he asks. RAF just continues onward. The warforged warrior looks into a small room with a trap door. He ignores it. The hallway ends at a pit filled with spikes and spears. He turns around and goes back. They go down another hallway. There is a large statue here. It has a large bibulous head with tentacles on a scaled body with a tail. It reminds RAF of a lizard folk with a squid head. Searching it, he finds a lever. He pulls on it and slowly the statue rocks back. Rose looks under the statue and spots something there. Not wishing to reach under herself, she takes out her rapier and swings it under the statue. Something is under there. It spins and rattles. She hits it again and it is a scroll case that rolls out. Strangely, about four inches out from the base it just stops… as if by magic. The sound of something above them occurs again. Something big and grinding like stone on stone. Nothing happens. Rose opens the case and there is a scroll inside that she cannot read. They hold onto it for later. Just about now Truth comes into view after running straight into the lever on the floor. “Where have you been?” commands RAF. “Looking around. Why would someone put a lever in the middle of a floor like that? Someone running…. Could walk directly into it.” “Yes. And you are standing on a bloody burnt glove.” The artificer jumps by sudden fear. Sure enough, there is a glove there. Rose comes to him with the scroll. “What is this?” Truth looks it over as an artificer would. “Scroll of Endure Elements I believe.” “Not of acid. Too bad.” Comments RAF as he walks past the statue again. Everyone begins to follow him. [/QUOTE]
