The Test of Time

[Lobo Lurker]

K'trinaxes follows the others inside. Facinating... he thinks as he looks around. Ignoring the writing for now, he makes his way over to the giant red stone and regards the crystal set atop it. That might be worth a lot to the right buyer.

OOC: Didn't see an answer to this, did we rest another full day or just 8 hours?

 

[Erekose13]

[ooc:Sorry missed that one. No, you woke up fully rested, but Rurrarh and Elrion were still down on hit points. You cast your spells then rested till your subdual damage went away then tried the door. So you have cast 2 Lesser Transfer Wounds, and Soen has cast Read Magic, Recent Occupant, and Open Lock and is about to cast a second Read Magic. Everyone is at full hit points now though.

Update coming this afternoon.]

Elrion Kyrik - Human Mage Blade

Elrion stares down the hallway in awe. Seeing that he recognizes the script, he will read all of the text that he can make out to see if there will be a clue as to what the stone at the end of the hallway could be.

The Hall of Time

As the four of you step into the room, things seem to start moving more slowly. Your limbs are not any heavier or more difficult to move, but they just don't move at the right speed. Those watching from the doorway see the four of you moving very ponderously, each step taking longer than normal.

K'Trinaxes manages to make it about 5 feet into the room after about half a minute of work.

Rurrahr moves slightly into the room and begins searching for traps. You can see him slowly bend down to examine the spot he is in, staring at it and staring at it...

Soen manages to make it to the nearest statue and beings to study the writings. As the magister lifts his staff to cast his spell, the energies gather slowly and most of you can follow the arcane gestures he makes. After a full minute his spell is finally complete allowing him to start reading.

Elrion moves to the side of the door way his head taking much too long to turn and look upon the script.

At this point K'trinaxes has made it 10 feet into the room and Rurrahr has only started looking for traps, finding nothing in his immediate vacinity.

[ooc: Map coming tomorrow, posted before Elrion had.

Ender you still around?]

Shi-Torob, Giant Champion of Death 1

There's no doubt that something is amiss... can they even hear us in there? He checks to make sure he has some clearance between him and the threashold, cups his hands to his mouth and speaks, almost uncounscious that he's slowed the pace of his voice. "Need a hand? What's going on?"

 

[Erekose13]

[ooc:yes you can hear Shi-Torob well enough, though when you speak it is slow too.]

 

[Zoatebix]

Shi-Torob, Giant Champion of Death 1

Shi-Torob's fascination and curiosity with the mechanics of the situation overcome his respectful fear of time - the oldest and dearest ally to death - and the apparent magical manipulation thereof [ooc: damn my intelligence being higher than my wisdom and my character being so young - just a few levels of giant... ]. He retrieves a piece of chalk from his pack, hops a few paces back from the door, and lobs the chalk toward the far end of the column-lined chamber to the left of red stone, arcing the chalk's flight above the heads of his companions. He stands delightedly watching the chalk's flight for a moment before striding through he doorway to experience the wonder for himself, and to help Rurrahr's search.

It seems that dedication to death its trappings have turned me into a bit of a sensationalist – I have an appreciation of even the basest sensations of living. I can accept that. Hedonism on the other hand...

Soen Morrowsong

Ok this time moving slowly thing sucks, at least from the looks of it we cn aeasily walk back out of this - trap is it? For now I will continue to read the writings on the wall to see if they have an answer or possibly tell me what this Dragonshard is or what it does.

 

[Eonthar]

Elrion Kyrik - Human Mage Blade

Elrion, during his walk down the hallway notices that his friends outside the passage have really sped up. How strange! "Why are you all moving so quickly?" he calls to the others.

Leaving this mystery to the others, he continues reading the Draconic script trying to decipher what the contents of this room are.

 

[ender_wiggin]

Milton notices the plight of his companions. He paused to think for a moment, then silently searches the doorway for any hint of magical manipulation, doubting that he would find anything.

Well, there's nothing more productive than trial and error.

Upon finding nothing, Milton takes a running start and flings himself into the "trapped" room.
