    @Awong124 You can always lead the way there yourself...

    I want to, but I need the ring.

    Alora runs away from Tiax using her boots of speed.

    Save me! Save me!

    TIAX is indeed stronger than Alora, but she has a head start on him. As for the ring... it might be back in the room with the statue. It could have gone through the portal like Alora did.

    *Tiax, furious by the paladins ruining his ingenious plan heads through the red sphere and looks for traps*

    Someone hold onto Tiax and if Ajantis will come with me I will go and look for the ring.

    That gnome is starting to be a menace by itself... I don't know how much longer should we put up with his erratic behavior.

    Okay, you find the ring (and coin Alora tossed) in the corner of the room. Nothing else appears to have changed.

    Ajantis stand by Alora... I'll "protect"Tiax from now on...
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Okay let's go back and see what's happened to Tiax. I hope it's something bad!

    *Goes back to hallway, and heads through red illusion door*

    Finally, Minsc appears to be getting annoyed, frustrated or both. "Boo says, 'Enough'!" he practically bellows. "Enough with the standing around. We are here to butt kick evil. Let us do so!"

    Thank you Keldorn. I feel safe when you're around. Because I know you are good at smiting stuff.
  • AlejandroAlejandro Member Posts: 201
    Ajantis stand by Alora, he doesn't want another kidnapping attempt.
  • IchigoRXCIchigoRXC Member Posts: 1,001
    Is that you elf. Tiax smells anger and angst coming from behind and Tiax would prefer an elf to an invisible stinging creature with an obsession with Tiax's rump.

    Yes, it's me. Now move your bony old behind.
  • IchigoRXCIchigoRXC Member Posts: 1,001
    OOC: @Alejandro I am already in the red sphere, Kivan has followed me, there shall be no more attempts :P
  • AlejandroAlejandro Member Posts: 201
    Anyone has any ideas on how should we proceed? I´m feeling we are going round in circles. This poem! I cant understand it´s meaning.

    OOC: We're doing it. I'm pretty sure the red illusion door is the way to go, we'll just have to see what's there when we get there.

    EDIT: NVM, you were asking in character.

    OOC : @IchigoRXC Ajantis´s Intelligence is failing him, not his best stat xD
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    While Kivan and Tiax are going down the red tunnel can I look at the Orange and Purple stones again. I won't touch them but do they look like they can be opened?
  • IchigoRXCIchigoRXC Member Posts: 1,001
    *Tiax lets Kivan pass and calls to Minsc*
    Hamster Carrier, leave the paladins to protect the halfing. Tiax requires your presence for possible butt kicking of evil. Not Tiax though, there shall be no kicking of Tiax's rump, it is sore.

    Okay. You head through the passageway covered by the illusion of Red. The passageway heads west for almost forty feet before making an abrupt turn towards the south. Beyond is a 30' by 30' square room with three chests in it. One chest appears to be made of solid gold, the second of solid silver, and the third of iron-banded wood.

    However, TIAX, Kivan, and Ajantis soon realize that the silver and gold is a not very good plating job over iron.

    OOC The poem is on page 10 is anyone wants to have a crack at it. It talks about keys (which could be keystones). The colours in this room are also quite odd. I think they are significant but I don't know how?
  • DelvarianDelvarian Member Posts: 1,232
    Minsc watches Alora.

    "Be careful, Boo is wary of losing friends."

    Looks off as if pondering to himself.

    "I do not understand why we go toward the lesser evil. Should we not go towards the greatest?..."
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    OOC It says in the poem if you find the false you find the true.

    OOC reposting for convience and bad spelling :)

    I do feel the need to inform you simians that while you were dodging and fearing this useless box, I was reading ancient tongues on these walls and floor. They do provide us a measure of information about what is to come;

    ACERAK CONGRATULATES YOU ON YOUR POWERS OF OBSERVATION. SO MAKE OF THIS WHAT YOU WILL, FOR YOU WILL BE MINE IN THE END NO MATTER WHAT.

    Go back through the Tormentor or through the arch
    and the second great hall you'll discover.
    Shun green if you can, but night's good color
    is for those of great valor.
    If shades of red stand for blood the wise
    will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of
    magical metal- you're well along your march.

    Two pits along the way will be found to lead
    to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall.
    These keys and those are most important of all,
    and beware of trembling hands and what will maul,
    If you find the false you find the true
    and into the columned hall you'll come
    and there's the throne that's key and keyed.

    The iron men of visage grim do more than
    meets the viewer's eye.
    You've left and left and found my Tomb
    and now your soul will die.
    ______

    You may thank me for translating this poorly rhymed piece of drivel whenever you feel like it (though sooner rather than later, yes)

    Hamster carrier, Tiax wishes to hit the weaker evil first and then the greater evil later... So hurry up you buffoon and help your leader.

    I´ll inspect the gold chest, carefully

    OOC: At least, I think i´m in that room

    *Tiax begins looking for traps, starting with the area leading up to the chests and then the chests*
