The Psionicle, Part IV

[GnomeWorks]

Syld dismisses the grease on the floor with a nod of his head, and you move on down the tunnel.

You pass down 20 feet of hallway, and then come to a turn in the tunnel. You continue on down to your left, and come to an open secret door in the wall. Outside of this door, appears to be another of the main tunnels - large and around 10 feet wide.

Keth speaks. "I would guess that the 'Kreens put the secret tunnel entrances across the halls from each other. That seems to be the pattern, so far. I don't know which way Jirlai would have gone. But I think that, if we keep going down these secret passages, that we can avoid most of the 'Kreens and find an entrance down to the next level."

Zhure, your usage of your power has been noted. You gain 7 hit points from the power. (Osius' Total - 27/28)

 

[Zhure]

Sufficiently healed, Osius makes his way toward the front of the party again, and makes sure his psicrystal is out in the open.

"Hopefully he hasn't had enough time to set many traps, and that we'll be alert enough. Either way, let's stay on our goal first, and look for this Jirlai as a secondary consideration."

 

[dkoz]

"I agree. If we get the crystal first Jirlai will find us. I think we should follow Keth's advice and continue down the secret passages."

 

[Jarval]

"Seems like a sound plan to me. Right, onwards then!"

 

[Dalamar]

"Let's keep on moving then people."
Syld continues to the next secret passage and then down after somebody with more strenght has opened it.

 

[Zhure]

"Secret passages mean fewer Thri-kreen. I like that plan."

 

[GnomeWorks]

The cleric and the two orcs nod in agreement. You head towards the other side of the door, carefully and cautiously, keeping on eye out for anything that would seem out of place down here in the tunnels.

Seeing the point waiting for someone to open the door, Keth walks forward and shoves on it. It doesn't budge. He grunts questioningly, and slams against it again.

"Magic." He states simply, nodding at it. "Back up. Away from the doors."

After you maneuver out of the path, Keth reenters the tunnel you were in before. With a roar he starts charging down, and slams into the door.

There is a loud crash, and a small cloud of dust rises. After the momentary blindness clears, you can see Keth lying on the floor in front of the door, dazed, and the door still completely intact.

"Ow..." The orc groans.

 

[Hand of Vecna]

Nathan & Thokk both bend over, peering down at the 'floored' Keth.

"You okay?" Nathan asks.

Nathan extends his hand to Keth to help him up.

 

[Jarval]

Jansson goes over to the door and raps on it with the hilt of his sword. He curses under his breath, something very impolite about mages and their general habits, although no one can quite catch what he says.

"Keth, are your alright?"

 

[Dalamar]

Syld seems quite astonished.
"Now THAT is something I didn't expect. Unless any of you knows how to dispel magic..." Syld looks at Desimus"...I guess we will have to move down either of these corridors. So, which one?"
