[QUOTE="megamania, post: 5033979, member: 9255"] ELDEEN REACHES SEGMENT 018 11/27/09 “The Prisoner” After looking around a bit more and peering out into the hallway to see if the dwarves are looking for them they begin to go out again. They pass two rooms with no doors (figuring they are empty) and come to a hallway with a sign set up. No one can read it and decide to check it out. The short hallway leads into a 20x20-foot room with an exit on the other side. Gilfer continues straight-ahead saying how he has become the team’s rogue. He is right. He finds a 30ft deep camouflaged pit trap in the center of this room all by himself. Embarrassed, he uses his ability to run up walls to leave the pit. Piik is smiling the whole time (while scratching at his exposed burn blisters) They enter the exiting hallway with Gilfer leading though much more slowly and cautiously. They notice a glow coming from the next room and creep up. Inside is a huge room with nothing but a 20 x20 foot swirling mass of elderich energy holding 5 feet off the ground a big orc holding an Orcish blade. He doesn’t react to their presence at all. They circle the swirling mass of energy looking for a trap. Leaffa is very cautious. She fears this is a Living Spell of great power. Gilfer (using player knowledge that a Living spell of this size would be MUCH too high of level for them) walks up the energy. With some hesitation he reaches out to the mass. Piik’s jaw hangs open in amazed stupidity as the shifter touches the energy. Nothing. He leans forward more and puts his arm in. “See…. It’s an illusion.” They he disappears! “Crap!” yells Piik. “Gilfer!” Yells Leaffa “Snort.” Snorts Night, the animal companion of Leaffa’s. Piik watches the Orc carefully. He expects the creature to attack at any moment but it doesn’t. They circle the mass expecting something to happen. Nothing. Not even a sound. Piik steps up the mass and reaches out as the SoulKnife had. Nothing. “Mumph!” He pushes his foot towards it to reach in further and find the floor gives way! “He was right… in a way. It is an illusion. But it’s not about the Orc… That is part of the illusion also. The floor doesn’t exit. That is the illusion.” He sets down his bag and pulls out a piton and his hammer. He bangs in a cheap iron stake as Leaffa comes over. “What are you doing?” “He fell in and may need our help. I’m not going to just jump in.” He then pulls out his rope and hopes the floor isn’t far down. A few moments before…. “See… no problem. Ahhhhhh!” and Gilfer falls as if there was never a floor. He falls a short way then hits the floor…. Hard. It takes a few moments before he opens his eyes. The small he is in glows softly and has four exits leading away from it. He looks around some more then gets up. He looks up and sees the swirling mass above and a hand scrapping through the illusion. Piik Gilfer figures. He decides to adventure first and goes down the hallway he was facing. The walls are glowing a pale yellow and seem to be made of stone unlike any native to the Eldeen Reaches area. He comes to a room that has a large chest within it. He hears a soft thus from the entrance and figures the others are coming. He looks at the chest and sees nothing and goes to open it (not a rogue yet…never saw it coming) setting off the fire trap spell. Hurting a bit he opens it and finds several scrolls within it. There are also potions and Bracers of defensive nature. “What did you find as party treasure?” asks Leaffa. “Errr….. nothing its mine.” Answers Gilfer. “Seems to be a lot of nothing.” Adds Piik trying to see what he has. “Then I will not store anything other than party stuff in my bag of holding.” Answers Leaffa whom has grown tired of the shifter’s hidden greed. Now with the druid walking very close to the shifter they go to the next room over. There is a statue of a large winged man here. He has wings and a slightly reptilian appearance to him. A plaque below says something that none of the three can read. Piik suggests returning later and breaking the statue to look for hidden areas and treasure. However, there are at least two more rooms to look at. The next room has a large table within it. There is a map here of the Black Cap Mountains which Piik recognizes. It suggests there are portals within the mountains to Xen’drik. There is also a beautiful necklace with a winged eye. Gilfer and Leaffa both want it and agree that neither gets it until something of equal worth is found to share. The next room stops everyone in their tracks. Within this larger room is a very large glowing coffin. It is easily 15ft long. They look it over more carefully than usual. A swarm from something this size would be extremely dangerous. Finally they decide to open it and find a large skeleton within it that has dry leathery wings. There are a lot of coins including PLATINUM! There are rings and jewelry also. As Leaffa and Gilfer are grabbing at the treasure Piik can not stop looking at the weapon it holds. An eight-foot long over sized hammer. A Maul if you wish. Piik pulls the cobwebs off of it and finds it feels good in his hands. Really good. “If you get that then we get this.” Gilfer says while pointing at the treasure within the tomb. Piik absently agrees, as he looks it over. (Yup- Maul of The Titans) As Piik figures out a way to carry the over sized weapon they head back to the statue. After a lot of arguing, Leaffa finally uses a spell to read languages and discovers that this tomb belongs to Lord Butaral Gutterson Planeswalker. He is a ½ Blue Dragon / ½ Storm Giant sorcerer whom came to Khorvaire to hunt down undead in the Gloaming. They move on to the next room. [/QUOTE]
