Night's Embrace: Part 1--A Touch of Darkness

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Nope )

*Kel finds absolutely nothing resembling such a rune here.*

 

[Boddynock]

Kel runs back down the tunnel. When he gets back to the others he says, "That's amazing! I just went straight through the ceiling and into the warehouse above. But I couldn't come back that way."

"We're going to have to look down that other corridor - I don't think this goes anywhere else."

He pauses, looking up at the rune appraisingly. "That is so amazing - being invisible, summoning beasts, being able to walk through walls. Don't you think that's amazing? I wonder how they do that?"

 

[Legildur]

Blunt raises an eyebrow at Kel's findings. "Humph!" he exclaims. "Amazing indeed. But just as long as we aren't here when he does it again. And it still doesn't explain where he went. I had him in my hands!"

"I'll join you looking down the other corridor. Nhalia, watch our friends."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"It is powerful magic, such as that which the goddess grants...though she emphasises the secrets of the mystic arcane, as opposed to Corellon, who emphasies wizardry and quantifying the magic."

*The other corridor (left then left) slopes around for a while and then upward, also leading to a rune in the ceiling.*

 

[Legildur]

Blunt waits patiently for Kel to explore the new rune.

 

[Boddynock]

Assuming that this rune, too, will be a one-way passage, Kel says to Blunt, "If I don't return straight away, it'll be because this is only works one way. If I can't get back, just stick your hand through. If I can grab it, it means that I can help pull the others up. If not," the lad shrugs, "well, I don't see that we have any other choice. Good luck."

"I hope this takes me somewhere just outside the building. If it doesn't, we might be stepping from the frying pan into the fire."

Drawing his dagger, Kel reaches upwards, preparing to pull himself up.

 

[Legildur]

Blunt nods. "Just stick your head through if you can."

 

[Boddynock]

"Yeah," grunts Kel, pulling himself up, "good idea."

The young rogue chuckles softly as he imagines himself from Blunt's point of view, head and hands disappearing into the ceiling.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Kel finds that he can't help but pull himself completely through once the first part of him makes it through the ground, at least not without experiencing intense pain and eventually dying. He chooses to completely phase through, and he winds up in a dark alley near the warehouse. As before, he can't get back under. When Blunt sticks his hand through, he also finds that he has to go all the way through.*

"Bugger!"

"Come on," Kel calls as he runs around the warehouse to the spot where the rope is tied. "We'll have to go back in and get the others out."

He blows out his lantern, so that the light won't give away his position.
