The Test of Time

[Erekose13]

The arrow's deceleration is in chunks, taking drastic speed loss at ever 10 feet, which coincidentally happens at exactly the same place as the pillars exist to either side. While most of you have preoccupied yourselves with a lengthy search process, K'trinaxes has continued his progress across the room. He is only now reaching a point 20 feet away despite the potential that hours have passed. He hears you say his name and slowly begins turning his head to answer you. His next step seems to hover in mid air as he passes another set of pillars.

Elrion and Milton each head to the nearest pillar on opposite sides of the room. They are both very detailed statues depicting coiling dragons. A thourough search, which seems to take forever for those who exited the time field, reveals a small well concealed button on the left statue near the top where Elrion is searching. Do you press it?

Ho ho ho ho! If he isn't, I am!

Elrion, closes his eyes, says a short mantra to relax himself, and presses the button that he discovered.

The big Litorian tenses and tries to make ready for whatever happens next.

I will attempt a spellcraft check to see if I can determine if this is a spell effect or from some trap or if I know anything about what is going on in the room.

Spellcraft=14 - crap.

"I am not sure if that button will do more harm or not but by all means go ahead and push it." As I then make my way out of the room and behind some cover hopefully making it before the button is pushed.

 

[Zoatebix]

After the button is pressed (and whatever dire consequences result), I'm going to pop outside and see if I can get my bearings and figure out how much actual time we've spent. We'd be able to tell by the light entering the hole whether we've reached nightfall or if a whole day had gone by... right?

 

[Erekose13]

[ooc: I'm off for vacation, be back on Wednesday, June 8th. Sorry to do this just as you push the button, but I'll make it a nice big update when I get back. See you all then]

 

[Erekose13]

When Elrion depresses the button everything whirls for a moment, disorienting those in the room as time tries to catch up to itself. The arrow and chalk strike the back of the room, time flows normally between those on the outside and those in the room. From the way the arrow flew it looks like that carries through to the other end of the room.

"Nicely done Elrion, I think you've overcome the barrier. Of course you may have just slowed the whole world down. We may never know." He grins in a disturbingly toothy Litorian way. He starts moving into the room going behind the statues.

Walking over and right before I touch the Dragonshard my hand freezes, "Umm, does anyone want to check to see if this thing is trapped as well before I just casually pick it up?"
