"Open, it'zz indefenzzzible. Maybe you can show uzz another way to open it? And we can leave it clozzzed when we want to?" They bob their heads and clack their mandibles as they talk, and both eaters pace in a tight circle in front of Cupric and Tuggle.OOC: To answer your question, Artemis can certainly find a way to jam the door-panel open -- even just propping it with rubble would work.When Cupric suavely delivers his load of minotaur dung about the Follies and their inedible spells, both eaters narrow their enormous eyes. They exchange a look. A moment passes. You can almost sense them remembering what happened with Artemis's unabsorbable grenade of doom."You are the firzzzzzzt zzuch creaturezzz to have thizzz zecret," buzzes Griffilhalz. "We . . . do not entirely truzzzt you, but you have beaten uzz and we mean you no harm."OOC: Marduke's Knowledge (the planes) check was high enough to know that it's certainly possible to completely drain a portal of its magic. They are fairly powerful constructs to begin with, so you'd guess this would take a long time, or require a lot of power to do.Given that the eaters live on magic, it's unlikely that they wouldn't know when a food source had run dry.</blockquote>
