Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [IC]

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

As the water seeps through the cracks around and under the door, it becomes apparent that whatever is on the other side notices it soon enough. You soon hear directly on the other side of the door, as if something is being pushed into the cracks to stop the flow.

Of course you know that the water has run out by this time and ceased to flow, but those on the other side are likely blissfully unaware, and confident that their quick action it what has solved the problem.

Shai frowns. "Guess there's a reason folks don't look to me for my tactical advice," he whispers with a shrug.

"'Course, since they think there's a big leak on this side, that might be enough to make sure they don't come out and surprise us while we check other corridors, yeah?"

The dwarf smiles, "I think you have the right of it. Let's have a look around beyond the other doors and come back this way soon."

 

[Mista Collins]

"I agree. Let us leave them thinking they solved their problem for now while we explore other avenues." Tanith says as she smiles at Shai. "I think it was a great idea."

 

[DrZombie]

"A very good idea. Let us move on now, while we still have the elemnt of surprise." Jonas says, smiling.

There are two options from here, and either of them require going back through the room that almost killed you.

There are two unexplored doors in that room: one on the north wall, and one on the east.

The other door on the eastern wall will allow you to backtrack the way you came.

Shai swallows audibly at the prospect of returning to the room.

Well, I suppose we'll only know if the spell resets if we go back in, though maybe it should just be one of us? Maybe if we tied a rope around my waist, you could help me break free if the tentacles come back?"

 

[Scotley]

Rogash

"Very brave. I would not ask you to go in alone, but if you are willing I have rope. What of the bag?" Rogash peers into the room to see if the bag has been restored.

 

[Friadoc]

"If anyone should go in first," suggest Friadoc. "It should probably be someone who could find the traps trigger and keep it from activating."

"But, I would like the rope tied to my waist," adds the halfling with a grin.

 

[Scotley]

Rogash

"You'll be easier to drag out too," quips the dwarf to the halfing with a wink.

As you open the door and decide on a strategy, you all notice that the balloon has NOT been restored, and hangs limply from the ceiling. A thin layer of dust covers the floor, and sends a small shiver up Jonas's spine.
