IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 2

[Scott DeWar]

Caerwyn re-checks his grip on his sword, wanting to be ready for what ever may be waiting for them.

[sblock=leif]
Take notice that Caerwyn is here and not in the tomb of horrors. It is Harrison Bentz that is there. And Caerwyn has not had to bust down any doors ... yet ... so he could not have done this door.[/sblock]

 

[Leif]

[sblock=ScottDeWar]Ooops, I"m sorry! I knew that. Thanks.[/sblock]

Talashia waits...then plants her fists on her hips.

"Well? Is someone going to look? What's back there? I can't see over all of you."

 

[industrygothica]

The stonework on the other side of the door is familiar... as well as the dank smell. The alchemist's lab has it's own entrance into the dungeon beneath Irongate! Could that be how he conducted his twisted business with no one ever the wiser?

There is a straight left-to-right hallway on the other side of the door. The right side goes up into a flight of stairs, while the left goes on for only a short distance before a sharp turn.

"Interesting! That route to the surface might come in quite handy, especially if there are more chaos beasts down here and one of us needs to dash to the temple before he (she) flows down the nearest grate in the floor!"

Uulark will head towards the stairs, being very careful as he goes and searching for any traps or anything unusual. "It wouldn't seem very smart to fail to guard or protect such a handy shortcut as this." If he makes it to the stairs without incident, then he will just continue on up the stairs, still searching of course, and see where the flight of stairs come out.

The stairs open to another perpendicular hallway. To the left is a spiral staircase, at the bottom of which is a charred spot on the floor where a demented fairy once lay in embers.

To the right the corridor extends a good distance, two short, but steep, sets of stairs leading even further down into the catacombs. That corridor opens into another familiar room, the first encounter with the ogre zombies.

There is a door on the opposite wall which has yet to be explored.

As Uulark is exploring the corridors, and the others are focused on what's in front of them, the sound of shattering glass breaks the silence. Returning focus back into the laboratory, Rogash stands in a pile of shards, his hammer in hand.

Whatever was in the aquarium is now gone, and only a large cutout in the wall remains, opening into blackness.

 

[Shayuri]

Startled by the noise, Talashia whirled around, already bringing her hands up for casting. She stopped, frowning and confused, at the scene before her.

"Rogash?" she asked. "What in the hells did you do that for?"

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Why did I do that?

Rogash looks rather stunned himself...

 

[industrygothica]

OOC: Why did I do that?

Heh.. it's almost like you have no control over yourself, isn't it? Hmm...

Uulark hurries to stand guard beside Talashia (against Rogash, evidently *shrug*) "What is afoot here?"

OOC: Scotley, did Rogash forget his meds again?
