[QUOTE="BoldItalic, post: 7320446, member: 6777052"] Deeper and deeper into the dungeon they crept, wary for wandering monsters. Carefully avoiding a squeaky floorboard, in case it was a trick, Od led them down a side passage to the left and into a chamber. It was about 20ft square, with an exit door on the far side. The air was cold and still, with a faint odour of old armchairs. The odour was actually coming from an old armchair set against the wall to one side, and in the chair was a skeleton. "Second left, you can't miss it," said the skeleton in a sepulchural voice. "Excuse me?" "The place you're looking for, it's the second door on the left." "But there's only one door?" "Sorry, I got moved in here when they tidied up. I was pro-drachmed for a room with two doors." "Pro-drachmed?" "It's like pro-grammed, only more archaic." "Well, can you tell us where you were before, so we can go there and take the second left?" "Sure. They didn't move me far. Just take the second on the left, and you're right there." "Er .. thank you." "You're welcome. Have a nice day." They moved on until Od, who was leading with every sense alert, suddenly held up a hand to halt. He gestured frantically at a strange object that lay on the floor of the passage a short distance ahead. "It's pretending to be an empty bucket," he hissed, "So it obviously isn't." "It certainly [i]looks[/i] like an empty bucket," suggested Nord. "It's very bucket-shaped and there's nothing in it." Herewulf used his paladin abilities. "I'm not sensing any evil or good about it," he reported, "But it could be chaotic-neutral." Jeli knitted her brows and there was a colourless purple sprong sound as a spell erupted from her upraised palm. The bucket glowed with an eerie light that foreboded. "Just as I suspected," she announced. "It's only projecting the semblance of an empty bucket in this plane of existence. We can only guess as to its true nature." "It could be extremely dangerous," mused Herewulf. "Can we avoid it? Or must we fight it?" He drew his rapier as he said this, and readied his shield. Od produced his flute and played a merry tune to hearten them. "We have not come this far, to flee like lily-livered cowslips at the first sign of danger," he declaimed. "This is the day that we shall tell our grandchildren about, when our deeds shall ring down the ages in the annals of heroism. This [i]is[/i] that day!" The bucket ... [/QUOTE]
