Alya asked. The party set off the alarm again and approached the first door. Fiddle had finally convinced Darian it was a bad idea to leave the evil banes behind especially with the mind flayer and Nicolon somewhere about and who knew how many other groups. So the party entered the first room. Darian took Alya's now too big pack. He attempted to catch the floating hand. The hand passed thru the material. It wasn't really there it seemed. Everyone shrugged. Next. Fiddle tried to unlock the second door. It was too difficult. So he moved on the third. Calrom scouted ahead to the end of the hall. It opened into another room. Strange artwork was painted on some screening. Calrom didn't want to touch anything in fear of a trap. He tossed an axe. It ripped thru the screen. He tossed another axe. This one broke the screen support and it collapsed. Fiddle undid the third lock. An empty chamber. Alya detected for magical auras. And Darian looked for evil. No one entered the room. Something in the middle of the room near the floor radiated both magic and evil. Next. Sully opened the second door with his wand. A large greenish sphere floated in the center of the second room. Alya said it was similar to a resilient sphere. Neither magic from the outside nor that from within would penetrate it. "I hope that's not what they are looking for," Sully commented. "We still need to find a way down." Fiddle and the others scoured the corridor and the room at the end. Fiddle found a secret panel. Sully sent Redd to guard the secret door behind. Fiddle had Marmaduke guard Redd. When everyone had listened at the wall and prepared for the worst, Fiddle opened the panel. A door to a new hallway lay beyond. Calrom and Fiddle scouted. After 50' or so they came upon some arcane script. Fiddle tried to make it out. It was some form of protective magic. A trap. Alya tried using magic. "It reads as a zone of Forbiddance," she said. "Probably to keep something out." "Or to keep something in," Darian added. Alya stuck her arm out. ZZZaaaPPpppp. "Well it doesn't like you," Arendel noted. "Perhaps it would like someone more balanced." "Why don't I just dispel the magic," Sully waved his wand. "I'm not sure if it will last so be prepared to hustle to the other side."   Sully dampened the trap. Everyone ran for the other side. They were in another room with a large metal formerly sealed door. Someone had already beaten them here. Claw and tool marks marred the door. An image of light in the form of Danar appeared. "Please," he begged,  "go no further. You risk letting loose some of the greatest evils Aber-Toril has ever known." The image faded. The party opened the door wider. A small chamber led to a stairway down.</blockquote>
