IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part V(b)

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel examines the last door and finds it locked. After a couple attempts, she finesses the lock open.

This room looks just like the others... except that there appears to be none of the creatures inside.

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel searches the room. When she returns she motions to the two ends of the hall and asks, "Which way?"[sblock=oc]search +16[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel examines the room. She finds some simple clothing in the wardrobe, but none of the fancier wear and none of the jewelry. When she examines the eastern wall of the room, she suddenly realizes that it doesn't feel quite solid. In fact, upon testing again, she doesn't feel anything there at all.
[sblock=Ti]She suspects an illusion. Illusory wall seems most likely.[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

Kushnak remains in the 'main' hallway while Erolliel searches.

"I don't think either way is different. Anyone else here almost certainly heard that commotion and is prepared now anyway." he says once she returns.

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel goes back to the others. After discussing the direction with Kushnak, she pitches her voice low. "There's something not right with the wall in there, it's just an illusion. Might be a passage, might be a trap. I'll try to slip through unnoticed, but I will just look around before coming back out. If I'm not back quickly, or yell, come through after me." The elf then hides and makes her way back into the room.[sblock=oc]hide +13, move silently without penalty +13, spot +12, listen +12, search for traps as I pass through (if possible while staying hidden) +16.

Shall we say 3 rounds for Kushnak?[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

"An illusion?" Nethezar asks. "We'd best be wary. The denizens of this place are clearly quite clever."

Erdolliel re-enters the room and passes through the illusory wall. She discovers that this chamber is actually larger than the others. It appears to lead to another door, emitting a pale blue radiance from the doorway's seams.

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel checks the door for traps, disabling any she finds. [sblock=oc]search +16 DD +14[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

The elf finds no traps, and the door doesn't even appear locked.

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel goes back through the wall and motions the others to come through. "Well I suppose the only thing left to do is open it. Best be ready." she whispers. Provided no one objects, she opens the door.

 

[o3caudata]

Kushnak positions himself immediately next to Erdolliel, sword ready.

"Whatever these creatures have to hide, i'm sure it means trouble." he says, smirking slightly.
