Equivalent Exchange--Episode 2: Blood is Thicker

[stonegod]

Laura follows slowly, seemingly intrigued by what she sees. She follows laconically. "Perhaps another secret door must be found? Or up the way we came. If I must there is some help I might be able to perform... alchemically."

 

[Raylis]

Elysia turns and looks at Laura, "You're an alchemist?"

 

[stonegod]

"The talent is... sporadic, but I can perform simple alchemy."

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Still going to try the upper path? Or have things changed now that Laura can use Alchemy? [perhaps she can make an easier descent back at the hole] )

 

[Raylis]

OOC: upper path unless Laura wants to try something alchemically?

 

[stonegod]

Laura moves down the hall, and reluctantly places her hand against it, drawing some arcane symbols, feeling for... something. The wall ripples a bit where she touches, and after a moment, she stops. She moves down the hall and repeats it a again. This is done a few times until, midway between where the ruined lab and the hole she stops. With a few dextrous motions, she clicks on something and another secret door opens.

"Look at what was hidden here."

 

[Festy_Dog]

Selim casts an appraising eye on Laura when she admits some alchemical prowess. He nods to himself as he reaches a conclusion and follows as she searches for a secret door.

"Very well," Selim says as Laura exposes the hidden door.

He takes a few moments to illuminate what lies beyond the secret door before moving through.

 

[Raylis]

Elysia follows the pair into the passage, throwing knife at the ready.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yay!)

*The passage leads down and around, circling back and opening up in a back wall in the room beneath the hole they had seen before. The darkness stretches onward, as the light flickers, illuminating rows of empty cells.*

 

[Festy_Dog]

Selim moves forward with sword drawn, wary of ambush.

"Too many hiding places for my liking," he says.
