[QUOTE="megamania, post: 3193625, member: 9255"] THE CREATION SCHEMA SEGMENT 299 11/12/06 “THE DUNGEON of CHAMPIONS PART 8: SLAUGHTERSTONE EVISCERATOR x4” They climb through about twenty feet of tunnel then onto a dark room. Once more Cedious’ magical lantern doesn’t show much. The room is 40ft wide and over 120 feet long. The ceiling is forty feet up. There is a large 80x40 foot slab above them. “oh….crap….” is said by all. All fear this slab falling down onto them instantly killing them. Then it gets worse. “Something … BIG … is here with us.” Says Pebbles. Xen adds at least two… one at each end. They make a point to advance far enough down the room to clear the overhead slab but still have the creature (s) move to them. Before them are two large stone and adamantine constructs with four ten foot long blades that chop before it. “How bad can it be?” says Talon and he regrips his weapon and poses with it. “More behind us. The good news is they are slow.” Says Xen as he looks above to see if the slab is falling yet. Talon is sliced badly by the first attacking construct. As they fight it through the poor lighting Cedious spots something on them. Each has a chain with a small chest on it. He will know what is within them before he dies he promises himself. Wall powers up psionically and becomes HUGE. Then he attacks the constructs. They drop one after several moments of attacking it. Talon and Pebbles both are hurt but carry on. Meanwhile, above them Pelor frets about possibly trying to reach them somehow. He worries that they need his healing to survive this. The second construct falls and Cedious moves in quickly and tries to open the chest without checking it first. Chain Lightning strikes him and several of the others. “By the powers of the Host- can you not wait until these things are defeated?!?” shouts Pebbles as the steam and smoke wisps from her singed hair. “errr… sorry.” Says Cedious whom then thinks “Not” and sticks his tongue out once the dwarf turns to face the two next constructs. Within the chest is a heavy iron key. He moves to the second one and looks for a trap this time (and misses it). A second chain lightning trap is released. Talon screams out in more anger than pain. Cedious finds a second key that matches the first one. Eventually the second set of two Slaughterstones are defeated. This time the group makes a point of staying away from Cedious and the slab overhead as he opens the traps. He disables the third spell and finds a third key. The fourth chest has a trap but he trips it when trying to by pass it. His incredible reflexes allow for nearly no harm to come to him. The energy arcs over the constructs then dies off. “What now?” he says as he holds up the four keys. They look for key holes and not until Cedious goes to the ceiling does he find them. Two key holes at each end of the slab. Everyone huddles in one corner as Cedious turns a key in two of the holes. One end of the slab falls down creating a ramp that would have entrapped / crushed anyone on the opposite side of the falling end. They walk up the ramp to a exit that leads out. Another 5x5 hole.
