X5: To the Temple of Death - IC

"Hmmm, well I got this ring we found from that knight-guy and I think maybe I could try and break down the door with in? If it's around 200 lbs or so I should be able to hurl it open with this (and any creatures guarding it). Wanna try?" Father Fuller asks, fingering the ring.

"Yes, I've some experience with weapons of that nature, though they certainly are not my preference," says Aram, indicating the greataxe. "If we attempt to smash through the gate, whoever is on the other side will certainly know it. Unless we have some sort of spell for silence..."

"Hoho, oh yes, I do have something like that ready. Useful spell, especially against bad wizards. It'll last for a few minutes at least, are we planning to all go together?" the abbot replies.

 

[Rhun]

"That would probably be best. That way you can cover me as I hack away at the gate."

 

[renau1g]

"Ok, Master Aram, if you wish to take the lead, I'll follow, the beautiful lady can follow me, and our faithful Girgal and Ripclaw can cover our rear, in case any nasties try and get us from behind" Father Fuller says, ready for the upcoming battle.

Aram sighs and leads the way back toward the gate that Kiera spoke of.

"Be careful. Magic silence blocks my blindsense" Keira warns.

The tunnel slopes down, slowly at first, and then becomes steeper and steeper. Soon a small point of daylight appears.

The lines of a barred iron gate blocking the exit come into view. The gate is large and very sturdy looking. A heavy iron rod bars its other side. Attached to this bar is a chain that goes through a small hole in the ceiling. On the left side of the tunnel is a funnel set into the rock.

It is evident that the gate can not be opened until the heavy bar is lifted. Cutting the metal would seem impractical with normal tools, but perhaps the adamantine edge of the axe could make the difference.

A loud and deep male voice demands "What is the password?" The sound seems to come from the tube.

[Rhun]

"Hail to the Master!" calls Aram, hefting the mighty greataxe in his hands.

Father Fuller remembers he's wearing the armour of the Master's servant and strides forward next to Aram, standing upright and displaying the shield prominantly as well.
