[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 2780517, member: 3192"] Darius found himself floating in empty blackness. He felt weightless and looked around for an exit. He saw a small hole far above him. Outside were his companions, but the daylight somehow did not enter. “!!!” He tried to shout out, but he could not make a sound. Closing his eyes he willed himself upward. It only caused his body to start spinning around. He tried to stabilize by moving his body around, but he was paralyzed. “Beware of the blue man group!” shouted Ben into the hole. Dram noticed a wrinkle near the edge of the hole. He reached down and tugged. The cloak lifted into his hands. He started shaking it. “Darius, get out of there!” The shaking only caused the cloak to stretch into odd shapes. It had an unusual elasticity. Dram pushed and stretched it back into a circle and laid it back down. It was a hole again. With Dalin holding him Dram stuck his hand in the hole. “Darius come out!” He felt a hand grasp his. Slowly he pulled the dwarf out. It felt as he did so. Darius’s body grew heavier and heavier as more of it emerged. “That was… not pleasant,” said Darius after he came out. “Thank you Dram.” “It’s some sort of cloakhole!” exclaimed Ben. “Uh… Darius?” said Dalin. “Hold on.” Darius knelt down and stuck his hand inside. “Get ready,” he warned the others. They drew their weapons. “Lavinia’s son”, Darius said. He felt a hand touch his own. It did not move. Darius tugged on it. Struggling, he pulled out a six-foot long body from the hole. It had grey skin, was emaciated, and obviously dead. “Look!” pointed Dram. The body had no left hand. “It’s Urkwin.” ”Ugh!” Revolted, Darius pushed the body back into the hole with his boot. He knelt down again and stuck his hand back inside. “Lavinia’s Other son…” “Uh… Darius?” Dalin said louder. Darius felt a hard corner touch his hand. He felt along its edge. The item was large and square shaped. “What is it Dalin?” said Darius turning around. A crowd of people had gathered watching them in the alleyway. They decided to go back to the inn and test the cloakhole there. Pax drew the curtains closed in the bedroom. “Should I inform Kayla and Diedre next door?” Darius shook his head. “No. Their okay.” Forming the hole again he stuck his hand inside and called out for Lavinia’s other son. He pulled on the hard shape and a large chest slowly slid from the hole. Pax helped him and they set it in the center of the room. The chest was two by four feet wide and two feet tall. It had a rounded top and square bottom and was made completely of wood. Darius examined it for traps. There was an old keyhole in the front, but its lid was already slightly open. Peering inside he saw a thin, green film covering the interior of the gap. He informed the others. They made preparations.

Carefully, Pax and Darius lifted the chest and turned it around so it would face the far window and the empty portion of the room when it opened. It was heavy, easily two hundred pounds.
