[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 8495318, member: 7015827"] Once back downstairs below the ruined tower, Shanni moved down the corridor and fiddled around on the floor, seemingly securing some tiles. She told her companions that it should be all right, but to be careful, and then approached a dark chest, appearing to fiddle around some more inside it with her hand. Dermot asked what it was and was told that it was a lever of some kind, although the petite rogue could not tell if it was connected to the traps she had just disarmed. Aerikoth thought it might be prudent to leave it be at that point. Shanni agreed and said she would peek ahead to see if there was anything like a barrier that the lever might work. Dermot went with her and then called their attention to a door-shaped outline in the north wall, while Shanni once again fiddled around with floor tiles. Dermot took a deep breath and reached for what appeared to be the door handle, but was disappointed to find out that it just opened onto a short corridor with rubble at the end of it. Shanni confirmed that the way looked blocked. Darrow inspected the stonework in the corridor along with Shanni, the dwarf noting that it looked a little like a tomb, and the rogue remarking that it didn’t look like anything had passed through in ages. Aerikoth was curious if the others could tell if there were any structural anomalies in the area, perhaps a pulley system under the floors or in the walls. The wizard thought it might be far-fetched, although Shanni observed that such a setup would fit with the lever they had found. Darrow examined the rockfall and told the others that it looked pretty recent and seemed to be a natural collapse. The four adventurers decided to move further west down the entry chamber corridor, as Shanni had spotted something giving off light ahead. She again warned the others to watch the floor, carefully wedging odd tiles as she moved down the hall. One of the traps she disarmed collapsed a hole in the floor, which she warned them to mind. Darrow gratefully hung back, telling the “observant folks” to let him know when it was safe. After a pause, the petite rogue told them to come down further, but just look and not touch, nor enter the light. Once her companions caught up, they saw a red pillar of light in an alcove at the western end of the corridor and a large hole that apparently had been a covered pit, which was before a misty door. Darrow found the whole thing to be creepy, watching Shanni and Dermot uncertainly look into the pit as the ranger waved his torch as far down as it could go. Darrow, looking again at the walls, remarked that the color pattern repeated – yellow, blue then orange. Distracted, Shanni grunted that she had noticed the same thing, as the dwarf pointed out that there were yellow, blue and orange crystals by the misty door. Meanwhile, Dermot enterprisingly had secured a rope to a torch bracket and dropped it down the hole. The ranger said he would be right back and climbed about ten feet down, disappearing from view into the pit. [/QUOTE]
