X5: To the Temple of Death - IC

[kinem]

The stairs don't continue upwards; the room appears to be a dead end.

 

[Walking Dad]

"A dead end? That makes no sense. Perhaps an illusion."

 

[Rhun]

"Perhaps?"

Aram moves to make a quick search of the room, looking for any concealed exits.

 

[kinem]

Aram looks around, prodding for secret doors. He doesn't find any.

However, he does notice that on one of the shelves, he feels an object there, but doesn't see it.

 

[Rhun]

Aram feels the invisible object, trying to determine what it is.

 

[kinem]

The object feels to Aram like a small metal box.

 

[Rhun]

"Feels like a small metal box," says Aram to the others. "Without being able to see it, I don't dare open it for fear of traps, though."

 

[Dragonwriter]

Jex nods. "Can't say I blame you... Let's take it with us and break that invisibility at a later point, after we leave. But for now, let's try to find another way up, as we seem to have hit a dead end here. Maybe we missed something down below... Like just where our foes disappeared to. Either that, or get out of here and try another approach. Though I'd hate to think we wasted all the effort of getting in here."

 

[Rhun]

"Down it is then," says Aram, stowing the box and leading the way back downward.

 

[kinem]

The room downstairs is as the party left it; whatever the temple dwellers are now planning to do, it would seem that you have at least a few moments before they show up, but time can pass quickly.
