(Inactive) Psion's Return to the Tomb of Horrors (IC)

[CanadienneBacon]

Hearing Davreya grunt with surprise and mutter about being his uncle, Peja's ears prick. Knowing all too well that Davreya is keen to the scent of items of value, particularly books, Peja shuffles after Dav. "Uncle, my patoot. Monkeybone is more like it. Whotcher see, Davreya?" Peja leans forward and taps at the floor absently with the butt end of his quarterstaff. "They don't make 'em like this much anymore..."

Seeing Garrel trip the trap, Ari jumps back in surprise.

"My, someone certainly didn't want anyone sampling their wine."

Garrel wipes some sweat off his brow and replies, "If this is how they guard the wine I hate to see what the treasure room is like. Everyone watch out for this spot..."

The two bears seem annoyed and the first one begins stepping inside the room, when Garrel jumps over the trap. Looking at his stunt, the bears sighs and steps back.

"Perhaps we should press on through these double doors. If they've trapped the wine room, who knows what else they've trapped down there."

[sblock=OOC] I'm just trying to move things on a bit. We seem to have split up a little. I think it would probably be best if we stuck together for now. What do the rest of you think?[/sblock]

Davreya, obviously distracted by the magical fire, jumps when Peja comes up behind him. He looks around, then past Peja to the room he just came through. "Where are the others? Oh, I've wandered off again, haven't I?" He grins sheepishly. "Sorry about that. We really should stay together, shouldn't we?"

Davreya glaces over at the doors leading into the tower. "We'll come back to those later, I suppose. Best to stay clear of them for now." He looks suspiciously over at the fireplace, and then to the hole in the roof. "Peja, before we catch up to the others, let me ask your opinion on something. Do you think that hole was caused by natural decay, or by some sort of force?"

Davreya pauses long enough to hear Peja's answer, then heads back to the main entrance chamber to hopefully regroup with the others.

Joining back up with the others, Kull asks, "So where to next?"

"Do we follow the path to the East that curves around to the right or do we try and get through those double doors in the room to the South? Personally I think we try the double doors first. We've already found a trap guarding the wine. I can't imagine what else might be down there."

[sblock=OOC] Thanks for that nonamazing. [/sblock]

Garrel joins back with the others and says, "Double doors sounds fine to me." Looks at the rest... Assumingh concur he will search for traps ih he has not already done so, disable device if they are present and then we presumably go in.

"I'd hesitate afore sayin' anything in here's not the result of some sorta applied force. That there hole looks like natural decay ter me, but it could also be nature herself tryin' ter get in or out." Eyeing the double doors, Peja nods. "I'm fer seein' what's behind them two doors." Fingering his wooden symbol of Delundar, Peja shuffles over to Ari. "Yer tempetuous, my dear. But yer pretty ter look at, with spirit ter match yer temper. When they open them doors, I'll just stand by ye so's in case ye need patchin' up after." The dwarf winks at Ari to try to irk her, knowing full well she needs no protecting nor helping.

"Why thank you very much, Peja," Ari says, putting a hand on her companions head. "I do believe that's the nicest thing anyone has said to me all day."

"Certainly, the doors do have an advantage in that we can always close them if we find something on the other side that isn't to our liking." She smiles wryly. "But then, they can always close behind us as well..." She draws a silver piece from her coin purse and flips it in the air, letting it land on the ground. It rolls briefly on its side in the direction of the doors before falling over. "It seems fate wishes us to open the door," she remarks, retrieving the coin.

As Garrel approaches the doors, the fire in the hearth bursts forth, surging to several times its original size. The column of flame spirals towards Garrel!

[sblock=Combat Time! Initiative]
Initiative: Peja, Ari, Garrel, Doorgath, Kullrund, Davreya (1d20=7, 1d20+2=18, 1d20+2=20, 1d20=7, 1d20+3=14, 1d20+7=10)

Nobody beat the elemental! I'm not going to bother enforcing a surprise round... everyone was pretty much on their toes.

The blazing column of fire rolls towards Garrel and lashes out at him. The fiery appendage wallops him and sears his flesh...
[sblock=OOC Garrel]
18 points of damage + 11 fire damage.
