Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 9264337" data-attributes="member: 2012">"Yes, let's get through and close them behind us," Custodio replies to the Sectarian.Once young Vitus has added to the group's protections, everyone who is going inside the labyrinth heads through the open double doors. The supplies for the trapped young knight are quickly brought forward by everyone."That's everything," Tuck says.Custodio hopes the guards in the cellars will be okay. But, he can't worry too much about them.Tim easily pushes the doors closed and he is glad to note that the doors have handles on this side, as well. The glowing text that was on the other side of the door appears on the inside of the double doors once they are closed. But, the text is changed, slightly.“Into my twisted corridors you have braved, Now, hope, dear travelers, for more than your grave. If the danger sots you, then flee back here, To exit the Labyrinth of Lost Souls in fear.”Along with the words on the door, there is the sound of laughing, as if heard from a long distance on an eerie wind. It only lasts for a few moments and then there is silence.While Tim moves forward towards the next room, Custodio looks ominously at the warning on the door. He puts his hands on the handles and tries to open the doors. The handles don't budge. "I hope all we have to do is speak this new phrase in order to get out."The Vanquisher cleric says the words on the door, quietly, and tries the handle again. It moves this time, and Custodio opens the door just a crack before closing it again. The laughing starts again and then fades."Well, that's new," Tuck says. "No wonder Wearne and his lackeys left the doors open for us last time."Tim finds himself just inside the first room beyond the doors. He remembers this room. The destroyed gargoyle golem lies on the floor next to the eastern wall where it fell during the Exemplars first foray into this place. The normal gargoyle statue still stands against the west wall. The outer edge of the room's floor is made of the same dark stone from the entryway, but the middle section of the room is a dark metal. However, the floor north of the central section is a lighter metal. It glints in the light that someone remembered to bring with you into the labyrinth.Not that it really matters, for light spills out through one of the doors leading into the portal room ahead of you. The light from that room is a mix of bluish glow and flickering yellowish hues. Those doors stand 75 to 80 feet from Tim. He can see the light clearly from his position. He pulls the chest down next to him on his left. Tuck stands next to him on his right and Rockhorn stands to his left. The others stand behind him. There is just enough room for everyone.Tuck points to the chalk outline he made of the trapdoor that he, Vinny and Falen disabled previously. "There... the pit trap. It is probably still disabled." He points to the northwest corner of the room. "The mechanism is over there."Tim remembers... but it is what he hears that makes him want to rush forward and jump over the outlined area. He can hear blades clashing from somewhere up ahead. A voice cries out in pain and another curses in anger.[OOC][USER=6790669]@Tellerian Hawke[/USER], I've been having you guys roll your own Spot and Listen check for the game, but I can roll them for you, if it will help speed things up.(Does anyone have a light source ready? I assume so in the post.)[Spoiler]<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=286435" target="_blank">Big Tim - Spot check: 1D20+1 = [15]+1 = 16</a>[/Spoiler][/OOC]</blockquote>
