[QUOTE="megamania, post: 3189791, member: 9255"] THE CREATION SCHEMA SEGMENT 291 10/29/06 “THE DUNGEON of CHAMPIONS PART 1: THE INVERTED HALLWAY” “Cedious!” “I’m here already. Any louder and I would bleed from my ears.” “Where are you?” “Not sure. Empty room except for a hole in the ceiling and the floor.” Wall looks at the hole. He hopes he will not regret this as he reaches in. “!” and suddenly he appears next to Cedious holding his hand. “It stabbed me!” “And me. I hope it was not ….” “Not what?” “Nothing.” “!!!!! What if it was poisonous? Can you cure us of poison through this?” the dwarf calls out mentally to Pelor. “I doubt it. Where is everyone?” Pebbles and Xen appear next. Each is looking at their hand with some concern. Finally Talon arrives in a flash. “At least we are together.” “And in my range still.” Adds Pelor. The lizardfolk step closer to Pelor. “What are they doing now? Has anyone been killed? Are they worthy?” Pelor ignores them and concentrates on the mental contact he has with the group. “Any thing on the walls?” “No.” “Only that small hole. Maybe 8 inches around.” Cedious levitates up to it. “The tube is smooth and turns away. I can’t see what is up there.” “Looks like we go down.” Says Talon looking down the dark tunnel. Cedious looks at the hole. It is 4ft wide and seems to go down forever. The light from his lantern doesn’t breach the darkness. “The walls are smooth… hard also. Magically treated I believe. It won’t be easy for everyone to go. Anyone have rope?” Talon holds out 100ft of rope. The room becomes dark as Cedious levitates down into the hole. He is very thankful for the telepathy they now all share. He sinks further down. He has gone down 100ft now and still sees no way out. He taps the walls with his dagger and finds it treated magically. It will not so much as scratch. He switches to his adamantine rapier and wonders if this would work. Suddenly the light goes out and he begins to plummet! “Cedious!” calls out Pelor. Again the lizardfolk step forward. They are eating up every reaction Pelor has. “What has happened?” asks a reptilian monk. “The halfling is falling down a long shaft.” In draconic several lizardfolk whisper the words- Inverted Hallway. Suddenly the lantern’s magical light kicks on and Cedious recommends his Ring of Levitation to activate. He slows down then stops as he looks at the floor below him. It is moving gently. With the shared mental link Cedious and Pelor picks up on the group’s concern. “What is it Pebbles?” “A blue ball of light has floated out of the hole on the ceiling and wall area. It seems to be merely floating around us.” “You make it sound sentient.” “If it isn’t then someone is controlling it that is.” Thinks Xen as he draws an arrow. “Water. The shaft leads to a water filled room.” Answers Cedious whom is ignoring the plight of his teammates. He spots a wooden raft and crawls along the damp ceiling to be over it. The water is within five feet of the ceiling of the room. He wonders briefly about the depth and conditions of the water. Pebbles flies down carrying Wall. At roughly 150 feet down her flying ability cuts out and they plummet into the water. The fall is roughly 50ft. Sputtering and cursing, they swim to the raft and climb on. Pebbles goes back for Xen. Bored, Talon merely waits for everyone to clear then steps blindly from the dark room into the equally dark shaft. His heavy troll / dwarven cross-bred body whizzes down the shaft. His elbows burn as they touch the walls. Then suddenly he hits the water with a stunning force. He climbs onto the raft and catches his breath. “That anti-magic field was an unpleasant discovery.” “Guys…. I just spoke to the lizardfolk. You can’t get out without completing the dungeon. This dungeon was built is test their greatest warriors and dungeon delvers.” Cedious smiles in the darkness. The shadows on his face give an eerie appearance. It appears he is enjoying himself. “Now what?” asks Talon as his fast healing kicks in to recover any damage he took from the fall. “There is a hole in the ceiling at the far end of this room. Lets try that.” [/QUOTE]
