The Chaos Effect updated 10/11/05 Exit the Dungeon + New Players intro

Tamin agrees, "A cone of cold may be overkill, since it is designed to kill not to chill." He pauses at his unintentional rhyme. "Anyway, let's hope Kerrick is correct, but go one at a time to be safe. Unless there is a way to ensure safety over the boards."

 

[Cedious]

Clang continues to walk over the weakest boards without hesitation, when he reaches the other side he turns to the group and comments:
"well this is getting interesting, i wonder what else we will have to deal with just for a backpack"

 

[MadMaxim]

Spike looks at the boards. "Well, nothing ventured nothing gained, I suppose..." He tries make his way along the left wall across the pit. "I hope you're ready to catch me, if I fall..."

SEGMENT 045

Spike carefully works his way along the edge of the wall. A few times the boards squeak and crack and once he leans forward but he continues on (Balance 17).

Now everyone is on the other side. The mist from the psionic ice and heat has cleared. Looking ahead the hallway reaches a "T" which then quickly becomes a series of intersecting grid lines.

Do you follow the map, make your own route and what of the inhabiants that have traps here?

 

[Cedious]

Clang thinks for a moment and then replys:
"I think we should follow the map, at least if we do that we have a good guess at where the traps are, i just want to get what we came for then leave."

 

[MadMaxim]

"I agree, Clang. But I'd also like to find out who these troublesome attackers are. However, that will have to wait. We have a job to do."

 

[Bront]

"Keep your weapons at the ready, but let's follow the map." Vander says, moving cautiously.

 

[Jdvn1]

"Sounds good. Let's go."

 

[Cedious]

Clang replys:
"I agree we saw something or someone but did we get attacked?......"

THE CHAOS EFFECT
SEGMENT 046

Kerrick leads the group through the maze of intersections until he reaches the area listed as "B". Here there is a deep pit with a thick board and a rope that acts as a guide. Kerrick searches over the board and rope and discovers the rope is damaged. If anyone used it they would have fallen into the pit.

Looking ahead, another pit can be seen.

What would everyone like to do?
