[QUOTE="der_kluge, post: 1250686, member: 945"] The PCs move up the staircase into a small room. The only other thing in this small room is another set of stairs leading upwards again. So, they ascend the next step up. Once up, they can see that this room, like the very first room has rows upon rows of skeleton bones. Cautiously they enter the room, and are relieved when none of the skeletons animate. Slowly they move about the room, when Ivo yells out "Ouch, it's cold!", and backs away abruptly. "What's wrong, Ivo", Dzintra asks from behind him. "Oy! I don't know, it's just cold where I was standing, like something was sucking the heat right out of me body!" At that same moment, Dzintra could feel an icy attack of her own, from a shimmering ghostly apparition that was now clawing at her. Reacting, the party attacks it. Shortly, another begins attack Rath, clawing wispfully at him with ethereal hands. Soon, both apparations are slain, and the party momentarily waits to see if any other surprises await them. Ivo moves again, slowly. "That cold is still there. It's coming from that corner." Casting a light spell, Rath can see a large path of brown mold growing on a pile of bones. "Brown mold", he says. "What is it?", Dzintra asks. "Well", Rath replies, "it's a mold, and draws heat from nearby sources. We need just stay clear of it." With the room better illuminated, the party can clearly see several small patches of the mold about the room, but they carefully carve a path through the room that keeps them away from its chilly reach. "I can move some of this stuff away with my gloves*", Rath says, using his gloves to magically move some of the bones out of harms way. Shortly, the party finds the stairs - this time leading down. Moving near them, they are surprised to see that halfway up the stairs is water. "It's flooded!", Dzintra says, trying her best to peer into the water. Ivo pauses, "it seems to me that this is the water table." He dips his hand into the water and smells it. "Ocean water. This section of the dungeon must have gotten flooded." "What are we gonna do now", Bax asks. "Let me explore it", Rath says, "I can move through it easily with my magic, and I'll report back after I see where it goes." * Rath has gloves with a continuous Mage Hand effect on them. [/QUOTE]
