[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 8293775, member: 2012"] Castellana nods and incants her spell and a field of blue energy encompasses Tim for several seconds. He can momentarily see his breath as the magic settles on his skin and armor. Then the sensation passes. [B]OOC:[/B] Resist Energy (Fire): Fire Resistance 10 for 70 minutes. Castellana turns to Tuck and raises an eyebrow. "I didn't sense anything near the doors. Of course, I rarely practice my old stealth skills anymore." She looks like she's going to say more but then decides against it. She watches as Falen makes his way down from above. The half-hobgoblin makes the descent look routine. Once down he takes a look at the cramped quarters of the room. Suddenly, he feels like he's back in the cramped interior of the ship that brought him to Bluffside. All that's missing is the smell of the sea. Custodio waits for his turn up above. Castellana hands the sunrod to Akos before moving to help Tuck. Tuck goes over every inch of the choke point before heading into the room itself. The two pillars are soon flanking him with Mutt sitting 10 feet behind him. The dog seems to be guarding Tuck's back. Castellana and Breva try to help him search the pillars, walls, and floors without anyone moving too far into the room. Castellana is of help but Breva seems more intent in spotting an enemy foe and examining the statues for any movement. No one steps on the central metal section of the room's floor. The urban ranger finds no triggering mechanism that sets off a trap or a hidden switch or lever that would disarm a trap. The pebble he throws bounces on the metal floor, which he can now see is made of iron. (The metal looks like it would be smooth to the touch.) The pebble bounces several times like if it was skipping on water. Nothing happens. No trap goes off and the two gargoyles don't move. Yet, Tuck's scales continue to itch. He knows there is something wrong with the room. He can see all the way down to the other side of the room. 20 feet beyond the statues, the room narrows back into a 10 foot corridor that continues on beyond the range of the light and his darkvision. Two more columns sit in the room's other corners and flank the opening into the far corridor. "I didn't find anything," the diviner whispers to Tuck. "Did you?"

By the time he makes it down, the paladin has had a chance to study the room in front of him in detail. He doesn't move beyond where Tuck says it is safe.
