Zane nods as if understanding something. But it is Nikadema who speaks first. "Turn off book. Is too bright!" Then the mage turns to his familiar. "No Nikadema. The journal is the key I believe." Zane tries to lineup the symbol on the journal with that of the door and then press it against the door's symbol. Then he will see if the door will open.

 

[DarkMaster]

As Zane approaches the symbol from the door, both seems to light up intensely. As they connect, Zane notices that they both fits perfectly and can hear a small clock. As the two pieces completly connects. The circular door starts rolling on the side.

Behind the door a 5' wide circular vertical shaft cloacked in pitch blackness opens before the group. You notice a strong winds rushing outside of the tunnel, indicating somehow an air movement inside the depths of the tower.(knowledge Dungeoneering DC 8, Pohl 3+2, Tai 4+1, Zane 19+3, Sareth 9+2. Notice that only Zane and Sareth realise that last fact.)

Zane shivers as he feels the breeze. "That breeze seems to indicate that there is air movement inside the depths of the tower. He glances back at his companions. Sareth! I believe you were going to lead?" "Me can lead." "That may be true, Nikadema, but let's let Sareth lead for now" "Okey dokey!"

 

[Verbatim]

As the door opened, Sareth drew the slender rapier from its sheath and adjusted his cloak slightly before stepping forward. While he was pleased that the air below would continue to be there should the door close behind them, Sareth did wonder what else might be living down below.

~We will cross that chasm when we get there...~

"Give me a few moments to scout ahead. I will not be long."

Sliding past those he was sent below with, Sareth crossed the threshold and was quickly swallowed by the darkness.

[sblock]Hide and Move Silent checks while Sareth scouts ahead. Figure he will go maybe 100 yards or so to get a feel of the tunnel before going back to get the others. He will also be looking for traps and other "surprises".[/sblock]

OOC It wasn't clear from my post but the tunnel is vertical in the ground

 

[Delemental]

Tai continues her vigil of the area surrounding the tunnel, but once Sareth has gone in she won't try and keep an eye on that as well (figuring that Sareth will provide ample warning of any dangers coming from inside).

 

[Verbatim]

OOC: So the tunnel drops or does it slope down? Just trying to figure how to alter the post..

 

[DarkMaster]

OOC it drops you have to climb it down.

 

[Verbatim]

As he saw the drop off before him, Sareth turned and spoke to the others.

"You all might need some rope. This thing drops straight down."

His warning made, Sareth tightened the straps of his pack and moving carefully began climbing down the tunnel.

[sblock]Take 20 on climb as he wants to give the others time to get ready while he is going down, plus he doesn't want to fall..[/sblock]

"You all might need some rope. This thing drops straight down."

'Got it.'

Pohl reaches behind him and pulls the coiled length of rope off his backpack. He quickly ties one end around his waist and then begins dropping the end of it slowly down the shaft. He calls out to Sareth below him.

'Rope coming down! Please excuse me if it bonks you! Let me know if the rope ends before reaching the bottom. Yank on it when you're ready for the rest of us to come down!'

He holds his tied end of the rope in his hands and takes a couple steps away from the shaft.

'As soon as Sareth gives the word... down we go. Who's first?'
