[QUOTE="Uller, post: 7110759, member: 413"] Each of you guzzle down your portion. Just like the first time Surana sipped it, reality bends, twists and folds on itself. You feel like you are drawn into yourself then you expand outward like you are riding a cloud...but you ARE the cloud. Is this what it is like to die? You feel yourself being drawn by a current toward the ceiling (although it is hard to tell which way is "up" since you can't feel gravity). You pass into a crack. Surana's lack of darkvision still applies. She is blind once in the crack but the draw of the air current is easy to follow. Orsik was wrong about the thickness of the rubble that makes the ceiling. It is only a few feet thick and you are quickly through. [ooc] Rolls for duration of the potion. Result is divided by two, rounded up and multiplied by 10%. Odds are subtracted, evens added. Example: 5: divide by 2 round up is 30%. 5 is odd so duration is 70% of 2 minutes... Surana [roll0] Orsik [roll1] Erevan [roll2] Derendil [roll3] [/ooc] The potion lasts a solid 90 seconds or so for all of you and you pass through the stone without incident. You each reform and find yourself back on the shore of dark lake, a few feet from waterline. The cliff above the shore is collapsed, the rockslide stopped just a few feet from you. The broken rocks are loose below your feet. Digging out shouldn't be too hard but will take an hour or so. There is no sign of Demogorgon or any kuo-toa. There is still some dim light coming from the ruins of Sloobludop which is maybe a half mile from you but no signs of life. ------------------------- For those on the inside of you see your four companions disappear. Time passes. Each minute seems like an eternity. You wait in silence (and darkness? Surana and Orsik took your light). After about 30 minutes the water starts to fill in around your feet faster. Something has changed. Maybe the water is flowing in faster or it filled in all the low lying areas. But where it was just puddles before, in a matter of 15 minutes, it is well above your ankles. You are straining your ears to hear something to let you know they made it and are digging you out. You think you hear something...muffled sounds. But it's hard to hear over the echoing sounds of the flowing water. But then you do hear something. Not from above, but from the passage toward the temple. First a grinding noise...then the CRACK of stone smashing into stone and a slash of it falling into water... Glabagool is unsure of what could have made such a noise. Before you can investigate further, there is another similar noise... [ooc]what does each of you do? Those on the surface and those still trapped below...[/ooc] [/QUOTE]
