Dungeon of the Fire Opal, part V

[HeavyG]

The gemstone you just found, however, looks like this. It's also much too small to be the Fire Opal since the Opal is supposed to be fist-sized or so.

(Just to save time)

Assuming someone goes scouting in the adjoining corridor, all they'd see is that it doubles back towards the north, ending in what is obviously a secret door leading to the corridor you already explored (the one right next to the entry chamber).

Hypothetically speaking, of course, such a person would also not see any ghost.

OOC: Heavy, that doesn't make sense to me. That's a huge area up north (several times larger than the training room we were just in), and depending where the secret door into the entranceway corridor is, we haven't even scouted south there... And what's in the room north that would probably lead to the door on the east wall that leads back to the hallway we used to get down here?

 

[Taz]

OOC: Then we should go back into the north-south corridor, where Ubaar initially chased the witch southwards, and use that door, which opens to the west, leading to the unexplored area, which happens to be north of us right now.

“Dead end here, let's try that door, we didn't use yet.”

Taz heads to said door and checks for traps.

 

[reapersaurus]

"Eh?
Well, Ubaar guesses (using Intuit Direction) that's the only part we haven't checked out here....

Let's go."

 

[HeavyG]

Exactly, the corridor leads to a dead end, but that door should lead to a new area.

Any precautions ? If not, I'll assume Ubaar opens the door tomorrow.

 

[Taz]

“Oh we do have at least one more way to go. We can follow the corridor north of us to the east, but for now, let's check what lies behind this door.”

 

[HeavyG]

After looking around and making sure everyone is ready, Ubaar tries the handle and opens the door.

On the other side is a small room, 30' long by 20' wide.

A 16-foot long centipede with red spots along its length coils on a floor littered with wooden and metal cluster, near the center of the room. It emits a weird hiss and starts moving towards the door. It's antennas/feelers twitch in anticipation.

 

[reapersaurus]

Ubaar closes the door, saying "Whoa.
Anyone wanna buff up before we go in, all swords blazing?"

 

[CRGreathouse]

Kytess pushes to the front.

"I'm plenty 'buff', thanks."
