Fiddle inspected the first one. It was locked. He tried to open it. He almost had it. He went to the next door. The light showed yet another door further down the hall. He had worse luck with this one. He lost another pick. He pulled out his other set and returned to the first door. Alya broke into song.  Fiddle did it. Click. He listened at the door. Nothing."Is everybody ready?" Fiddle turned around to find the others. They were almost out of light range. He threw his hands up in the air. And opened the door. A jug sat on a pedestal. He approached and searched it. It was light weight and sounded as if it was filled with sand."Let's try the other door," Alya said out in the hall. "Sully can you open it?"Fiddle ran to catch up. Calrom opened the second door. Inside was a shelf with a red stone disc placed on it. Sully mumbled under his breath."Don't touch it," Sully warned. "It has a magical trap.""Don't look at me," Fiddle said. "I'm having terrible luck. Besides we are here for the Sword. I know this is a bane. And I know others are searching this tomb also. It would be a shame for it to fall into their hands. But let them deal with the trap."Fiddle went to the next door. The hallway ended a little further along. It opened into a new chamber. He had no luck unlocking the door. Although he didn't lose a pick. He heard a whirring sound on the other side of the door. Sully motioned at the door with his wand. Click. Another similar room as the first two. This one was occupied by a small floating orb. It was dark and very scary. It detected as magical."I've heard about these things," Darian mentioned. "They suck everything they contact into another plane."Fiddle closed the door."Now what do we do?" Alya asked the group. The others settled around to debate their course. Fiddle felt strange leaving an unexplored chamber within earshot. He took Marmaduke and the lantern with him. Of course, that meant no one else had light. The chamber had a stairway down to a door. Fiddle descended. Just as the others started to complain. A bolt of lightning struck Fiddle. A small orb danced about shocking the hin."Marmaduke," Fiddle commanded. "Guard Redd." The dog fled to safety. Fiddle tossed Hole Punch at the orb. It missed.The other party members joined the fracas. Alya hit the orb solid with an arrow. Sully peppered it with bolts of magic. The orb winked out. Darian and Arendel closed to an area nearby. Calrom joined Fiddle on the ground."It's a will-o-wisp," Darian called out. "But it has a nasty range."Alya tried to find the thing. She moved about on the top platform. Sully too covered the area with magical dust. Nothing. Fiddle and Calrom scouted below.Zaaapppp. Calrom found it. It launched above Sully. Arendel's leopard and Darian took swings at the orb. But only Sully seemed to harm it. He pelted it with more bolts of magic. Calrom, Fiddle, Arendel, and Alya fired errant arrows.The orb attacked Sully.  Sully finished it with another volley of bolts.</blockquote>
