    In the main chamber there is the black tunnel and the two stone doors. The purple one and the orange one. I think?

    I am assuming you are heading into the passageway of the black sphere next?
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    That sounds terribly menacing. The passageway of the black sphere? Eek. Why couldn't it be the passage of fluffy bunnies?
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    I think the black passageway is the way to go. If Xzar has already gone in I will let him go on his own. Otherwise I will go ahead checking for traps.

    Tiax is warning you child, do not use stupid phrases. The party is gathered and they shall follow Tiax. Only good has come from his leadership, so far we have only lost 2 useless mages. Tiax believes we are doing well.

    Wasn't the black sphere the one where something stabbed Tiax's fat ass?
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Alora is happy to let Tiax go in front. She will dawdle behind with the Paladins.

    OOC: Did we go down the red sphere before, if so then yes Black sphere is where we are heading*
    @Awong124 I believe I got stabbed in the butt near the gargoyle with 3 arms.

    Tiax pushes Xzar out of the wa and he tumbles screaming *mommy*. Tiax then searches the black sphere entrance for traps

    "I´m kinda lost to be honest. Does anyone have a map of this place? Or remembers where to go? Maybe I should have listened Keldorn, Windspear Hills couldn't have possibly been worst than this, right?"
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    By all means, we shall follow Tiax and let him check for traps and beasties in the dark.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    @Alejandro

    There are two tunnels - a black one and a red one.

    There are two stone spheres that may be doors. One is orange, one is purple.

    There is an archway full of smoke with three keystones in weird colours: russet, olive and citron.

    Personally, I'm hoping for another cryptic riddle-poem. ;)
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    For some wildly inexplicable reason, Xzar seems content to let Alora go first. This corridor is much, much longer than any of the others, and heads east before making a 90 degree turn south, another 90 degree turn west and down before continuing south west for more than 70' before heading straight south again for another 20' then west 10', south 15', then east 40' and south another 20'.

    There, the passage ends in a dead stone wall, but Alora can sense an open space beyond.

    That last poem wasn't particularly helpful.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    No traps, TIAX. (Sorry for jumping the gun).
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Alora will wait for Ajantis, Keldorn and Minsc to catch up and then start looking for a secret door.
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    Imoen, arriving with the others, will help Alora look for a secret door.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Alora thinks that this may take us out of the dungeon altogether - or maybe into the black hole Aerie disappeared into.
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    OOC They're only helpful after the fact--or when you're sitting comfortably in the queue going, "No, sillies, red is night's good color..."
  • IchigoRXCIchigoRXC Member Posts: 1,001
    *Tiax helps Alora look for a secret passage, he might not particularly like the halfling, but she has done no wrong so far and he feels she may be worth keeping alive*
  • AlejandroAlejandro Member Posts: 201
    Ajantis tries to help looking for a door. But he barely manages to find his underwear under all this huge armor sometimes.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Alora giggles and thinks to herself tee-hee! Tiax doesn't know the half of it.

    *Tiax is suddenly worried he is speaking his mind out loud, or that Alora is psychic. Is Alora the first BG Psionic he wonders*
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Alora reveals her true identity as a Mind Flayer and wipes out the party. Mwwaahaahaa!
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Just a thought guys. Keldorn said the black tunnel was more evil than the red one. And we just all walked into it.
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    Imoen gives Ajantis mental kudos for wearing underwear under all that huge armor. Chafing. Cold days. Ugh. Underwear good under plate mail.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Everyone looks fruitlessly for some entrance, until Keldorn's searching fingers find a hidden catch. The end of the tunnel slides open, letting you out into a strange chapel.

    The room is 70' square, the closest 50' being taken up with wooden pews. At the front of the room is a glowing blue altar set off from the rest of the room by a wooden railing. To either side of the altar is a giant candelabra with seven white candles, and a white ceramic urn stoppered with a wooden and brass plug. The walls are painted with scenes of everyday life, but the people depicted within are half-rotted, with bones showing and worms eating at them. There is a mosaic path that runs up the middle of the room towards the altar, which is slightly above the level of the floor on a dais. A massive wooden seat is before the altar, facing the pews.

    There is a slight aura of good here, and the walls also bear the images of the symbols of good gods, such as Lathander, Helm, Torm, Tyr, Ilmatar, and others.

    Keldorn also said this place glows with evil all over, and that the evil was slightly less evil down the red tunnel. This passage is more "par for the course" evil, which is still pretty evil. I think.
  • IchigoRXCIchigoRXC Member Posts: 1,001
    Tiax would like to know why people think he is crazy, when Alora is the crazy one. She thinks she is an Ilithid... when in truth the only one in disguise here is Tiax, who is a mighty god walking around among mere mortals!
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Well I wasn't expecting that. When Keldorn cast Detect Evil there was more evil from this passageway than the red one.
