"Ow." She gets up and drops the gold key to the ground. She glares at Viconia. "This is why we're skittish about doors." She takes the bronze key and tries the same thing as before.
Viconia is immediately at Imoen's side, healing her and making sure she's okay. Imoen's clothes have suffered a bit in the explosion, and Viconia shields the newly nude bits of her and offers Imoen a dress of hers to wear.
There is a click, and a rumbling noise from deep below the ground. The floor to the South begins to rise over the last 15' of the room, including where Imoen is standing...
Within fifteen seconds, the floor has risen to the roof and the two meet with a grinding noise that makes Imoen sick when she thinks of being ground between them and turned into Jam. A Black stone wall is inset with a mithril door with a ring-pull in the center of it.
Imoen curls into the fetal position and alternates between laughing and crying. Laughing because she didn't get squished and she is oh so very grateful for her agility. Crying because she almost. got. squished. Just like grape.
OOC I however, am absolutely delighted that Imoen is not squished. I do need to retire for the evening though. Revoltingly early class tomorrow morning.
Minsc returns (well his mind returns) from Boos birthday party, and is surprised to find that both he and the Lich are still among the living. Ok technically the Lich is dead already or undead, but that just complicates things, and Minsc's mind is cluttered enough as is.
Minsc removes his birthday hat and eyes the door with a snear.
"Let us finish this Lich friends. He will pay now for the evil he has brought."
Across from the door, you see a huge pile of treasure with some familliar items on top. Yes, it seems that this is where Shar-Teel's clothing and armor and magical items ended up. This smallish 10' by 20' burial vault has an arched ceiling with a 25' peak. At the far end of the mithril vault are the following: Amound of treasure, including all of Shar-Teel's items, 3 swords, 1 spear, a multitude of gems, including three huge gems worth more than all the others combined, over 10 potion bottles and more than 5 scolls, and a rod and a staff (this is all you can see, there may be more).
At the far end of the crypt, there is an altar-like stone holding the lich's mortal remains. A skull with rubies replacing the eyes, and 6 emerald-cut diamonds replacing the space where teeth would have been. All else is dust and small bits of bone.
I shall resist the treasure The treasure is bait that leads to very real death Wait Shar-teel is naked somewhere? That's better than treasure... I shall resist the treasure... Naked Shar-teel on the other hand...
Coran starts checking for traps everywhere... floor, walls, celing, etc...

"You want to see Shar Teel naked? Are you sure you're into women?"

E-everyone, come to me. *Gets between everyone and casts protection from evil 10 foot radius* Let us.....let us stand firm before this blight.....and remember all of our lost friends by his hand.
OOC: Someone control + Y the lich rising up. Or kill it with fire.....
Imoen is more than happy to stand in the radius of Aerie's spell. She'll be shooting the lich with arrows as quickly and as accurately as possible. If worse comes to worse, hopefully, arrows bouncing of eye socket gems are annoying enough to foil spellcasting.

with ricochet, are you talking about the lich or our spell casters? :P
Imoen shoots the skull with her bow (since the arrows merely go through the man-like figure). The skull rises high into the air, gems glinting terribly in their places, and it looks over the party. You feel small and cold and alone as its gaze passes over you. It focuses on Aerie, and she can feel herself rising.... away from her body...which crumbles into corruption and slime, and her soul/spirit is drawn into the eye-gem, where it winks like a little star before the skull settles down again.

He rushes forward to open the door.
"Go for the ocular cavity Boo!"
