Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne - Escape From Old Korvosa

[Neurotic]

"Good luck and may the gods keep you safe."

 

[Axel]

Mhairi smiled and patted the Ifrit on his shoulder. "The gods will have to keep you safe, because you're crazy enough to do something like this," she said before removing herself to the farthest part of the lever room.

[Kaodi]

Once Vencarlo has retreated with the others, Ignatius slowly kneels down beside the chest with the gas. He places his left hand on the lid and raises his right hand to his mouth, cupping it in the way his companions would recognize by now. The ifrit takes another moment to mentally prepare himself, then takes as huge a breath as he can manage. He bends down to the chest, opens it just a bit and then blows out a fierce cone of flames into the gap. Ignatius holds onto wait remains of his breath as best he can, closes the lid after the torrent abates, and then hurriedly moves out some distance into the hallway to draw air.

OOC: Burning Hands (Ifrit) [roll0] .

 

[Dr Simon]

The plan seems to work. When Ignatius re-opens the chest, nothing leaks out of it and he feels fine. But the chest is empty, and not even any charred remains to suggest that there ever was anything in there.

 

[Kaodi]

The ifrit shrugs and calls out, "Empty. No gas, no ashes, no goods." He gets up and heads out into the other room. "My plan worked, so that is something, right?" he says with a grin.

 

[Axel]

Mhairi came back to the room with a scowl on her face. "Let me have a look at this trap again. The smell was absolutely unmistakeable." She squats down next to the chest in question to give the lid and lock mechanism a thorough examination.

 

[Dr Simon]

Mhairi takes another look at the chest. It's scorched inside but a closer examination doesn't reveal any other compartments, or the remains of anything that may have been in there that was burned by Ignatius. It would appear that all it contained was poison gas, that was burned away by the ifrit's fire.

OOC: If anyone wants to take any of the lead-lined chests you can - treat your character as if encumbered by medium or heavy armour as long as they carry it. If you're already slowed by armour (I don't think anyone is) then you can't run whilst carrying it. They're bulky enough that one person could only carry one chest at a time.

 

[Axel]

Quite sure there is nothing else hidden, Mhairi stands up feeling unsatisfied. "Can you strong men help me get these chests to the lever room? I'd like to bring them back out, I think. Well, at least one of them."

 

[Kaodi]

Ignatius nods and complies. Equipped with magic as he is the task is not too strenuous, though the chests are still rather unwieldly.

 

[Neurotic]

"Ah...ready for some more exploring?" asks Edmond holding his arm next to the lever.

OOC: We're on that part where only chests are available, right?

 

[Axel]

"Always! Especially if it winds up with these chests filled with gold," Mhairi replies.

 

[Dr Simon]

OOC: Meh, apologies for the delay. Real Life and all that nonsense. I've reattached the four positions that the lever gives you - pick a direction.

 

[Neurotic]

OOC: We are at #3 right now. So wherever the next one takes us. #4? What is that blue thing there?

 

[Dr Simon]

OOC: Well, one way to find out...

Edmond pulls the lever, and once again there is the sensation of movement. The dead-end corridor with the tiger heads now appears where previously was a blank wall. A quick investigation shows that it's previous position has now been taken by a small circular room, in the middle of which is a small raised pool of clear liquid. Ignatius' sight tells him that the liquid is magical.

OOC Again: So you are now in position 4 on the map above.

 

[Kaodi]

"Well, that is interesting," comments Ignatius. "The liquid in the pool is magical. No clue as to what it does though..."

 

[Axel]

"I doubt anything that will help us," Mhairi said with distaste. "Is there any way to learn more before someone tries to drink it?"

 

[Neurotic]

"Vencarlo, did you maybe overheard something about it? Or even tried it?

Ignatius, what type of magic it radiates?"
[MENTION=21938]Dr Simon[/MENTION], hint?

 

[Axel]

"I doubt anything that will do us any goof," Mhairi said. "Is there any way to find out more before one of us has to drink it?"

"I mislike this place more and more the longer we're stuck here," Manachan says from his post by the door. "Take some in a waterskin for later study, and lets move on now that our way has opened."
